Buhari will not participate in BON presidential debate - APC

APC says it's presidential candidate Gen Buhari will not be participating in the presidential debate being organized by the Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria BON and the Nigeria Election Debate Group (NEDG) .

In a statement released today January 29th by Garna Shehu, the Director, Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Organisation (APCPCO), they said Buhari will not be participating in the debate as the composition of those organizing the debate was mainly of agencies and allies of the incumbent People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) administration. Continue...


The statement reads in part;

“A cursory inspection of the composition of NEGD brings into focus the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON), National Television Authority (NTA), Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) and the Africa Independent Television (AIT, owned by a PDP chieftain). And going by the avalanche of inflammatory statements, misinformation and blatant lies being propagated by some of these media against our Party and candidates contrary to the Kofi Annan brokered Abuja Peace Accord, and the failure of these aggressors to desist and apologise, have left the APC Campaign with no option than to steer clear of any premeditated smear campaign that could be inimical to our prospective electoral success,” .

''Neither Jonathan Nor Buhari Would be the Next President'' - Enugu Prophet

An Enugu based prophet, Anthony Nwoko has
predicted that neither Goodluck Jonathan nor
Gen. Buhari would be president after next
month’s election.

It was gathered that the same prophet had in
1993 prophesied the end of the military regime
of former head of state, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida.

In 1998, Prophet Nwoko also prophesied that
late military ruler, General Sani Abacha, would
leave the leadership of Nigeria in a mysterious
way and months later the man died.
Nwoko said:

“In 2010, I told Nigerians that they should
not expect much or any miracle from
Jonathan. Now, in this coming election,
Jonathan will only serve as John the
Baptist and Buhari has not got any
heavenly crown to rule and he will not rule
this country because he hasn’t got that
crown.

Don’t take my prophesies for granted
because I had also told General Abdulsalam
Abubakar not to make Obasanjo president
and I had also warned Obasanjo not to
make late former President Yar’Adua
president and my advice was not heeded
and you saw what happened”, he pointed
out.

He continued, “I had told IBB in 1993 to
leave office and it happened and in 1998, I
prophesied that Abacha would leave office
mysteriously, and you saw what
happened.”
When asked what would happen since he has
prophesied that the two leading presidential
candidates would not be president after
February elections, the 64-year old Prophet said:

“I can see the glory of Nigeria in the South
East and I don’t agree with Wole Soyinka
that Jonathan is Nebuchadnezzar;
Jonathan is a forerunner to the glory of
God.”
Reacting to recent comments by fiery Enugu
Catholic cleric, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mabaka, Prophet
Nwoko said he was not condemning the priest
but “I want to tell him that I can see the glory of
God in the South”.

I WON’ T SACRIFICE MY LIFE FOR ANY PARTY — OLUSEGUN OBASANJO

Nigeria ’ s former president , Chief
Olusegun Obasanjo, has vowed not to
sacrifice his life for the any interest of
any party, but for Nigeria
only .

Obasanjo had, last Monday , when
he hosted some women leaders from
the South- West zone , stated that he
would sacrifice his life for Nigeria to
remain one indivisible entity .

He said this on Wednesday , while
playing host to the presidential
candidate of the National Conscience
Party ( NCP ) , Mr Martins Onovo, who
paid him a visit at his Hilltop residence
in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.

The former president insisted that he
would never close his eyes against
anything that would not be in the best
interest of the nation, while maintaining
that he remained a card - carrying
member of the Peoples Democratic
Party ( PDP ) .

He said he would not keep quiet about
issues concerning the country, saying
“every Nigerian is a stakeholder and
must speak up when things are getting
out of hand .”
He said ; “In this part of the world , we
have a saying that if people sleep and
they put their heads on the same
pillow , they are in danger and that
means there should be some people
that should be critically looking and
watching and also be able to speak up
when they should speak up .

“No matter what others may say ,
because people may come up and say
Nigeria doesn ’ t belong to anybody, I
believe that is a stupid saying , Nigeria
belongs to all of us because anything
that doesn ’ t belong to anybody,
anything can happen to it , for me
Nigeria belongs to all of us and we are
stakeholders in this country.

“Let me make my own position clear , I
am a card -carrying member of PDP
because that is the party on which
platform I became the president of this
country .

“My first pre- occupation is what is
best for Nigeria , Nigeria first, party
second and any other thing third.

Nigeria first means I’ ll sacrifice
anything for the interest of Nigeria and
I can sacrifice my own life for the
interest of Nigeria .

I can’ t sacrifice my
life for the interest of a party, I ’ ll
sacrifice my life for the interest of
Nigeria . ”
The former president extolled the
virtues of the founder of NCP , the late
Human Rights lawyer , Chief Gani
Fawehinmi, describing him as a
genuine social critic .

Obasanjo enjoined Onovo to follow the
footsteps of the late Fawehinmi, whom
he said , was a man of integrity and
honour .

APC Presidential flag-bearer, Gen Muhammadu Buhari yesterday stated reasons why he chose Prof Yemi Osibajo as his running mate for next year's general election. Below is what he said;

"To assist me in this great task of securing Nigeria’s future, I have chosen a man of unimpeachable integrity, an excellent professional, a man of faith, a devoted family man and a role model to our fellow countrymen and women. He is a professor of law and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. An alumnus of the University of Lagos and the London School of Economics, he is a prodigious author who has to his credit several books on civil procedure in Nigerian superior courts.

The Vice-Presidential candidate is a friend of the less privileged, compassionate and zealous in service. A man of uncommon humility, a loyal, dependable and selfless patriot. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present Professor Yemi Osinbajo, who by the grace of God and the vote of Nigerians will be the next Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Buhari said.
