BREAKING!!! Plot by PDP to Rig 2019 Elections Busted; Abia Dep Gov, Commissioner Implicated; INEC Dragged to Court

Plans by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to rig the 2019 general elections in Abia State with the use of fake voters cards, have been uncovered, Igbere TV reports.

This was as Hon. Ojisi Iro Ogbaja, a former councilor who represented Ugwufie Ward in Ohafia local government council of the state, raised the alarm over some irregularities in the list of voters register in the council.

Ojisi Iro Ogbaja
Hon. Ogbaja, while speaking with journalists (Igbere TV inclusive) also claimed that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is collaborating with PDP in the rigging plan.

He also accused the current Deputy Governor of Abia State, Ude Oko Chukwu, of being the mastermind of the whole plan, being that he is from the affected area.

The former Supervisory Councilor averred that INEC had concocted and manipulated the voters register in 15 units of Ndi Elu Ward Nkporo, Ohafia local government area of the state.

He said this was orchestrated by the commission with the view of rigging and undermining the validity of the 2019 elections.

According to him, “This conspiracy and electoral fraud was machinated, perpetrated and perfected by INEC with the utmost intent of rigging the 2019 polls in these 15 units of Ndi Elu Ward in Etitama Nkporo, the Abia State Deputy Governor’s Village.

“It is crystal clear and evident that the voters register of these affected areas was thoroughly generated, fabricated and overblown with falsified figures, names and images.

“Cases of multiple registration of voters, registration of minors, registration of non-indigenes and non-residents, registration of dead persons, registration by non appearance of persons and registration without direct capturing of images and the use of still pictures, were discovered.”

Hon. Ogbaja explained that these nonetheless readily explains the reason in the astronomical and over 100 per cent increase of registered voters in these areas from about 4,000 in 2015 to 11,000 in 2018 for a revalidation exercise only.

“A close and thorough scrutiny of the register readily shows over 90 per cent of registered voters were images from still images with fake names and addresses. On serial number 567 of registered list of voters in Unit 11 of Ndi Elu Ward in Nkporo Ohafia local government area, my picture appeared with the name ‘Mba Okpee E’. I did not submit or present myself for the said registration. I am ordinarily from Elughu Nkporo in Ndi Eititi Ward where I personally registered myself as a voter in unit 001 with the name Ojisi Iro Ogbaja. This is a clear manifestation of fraudulent practices on the part of INEC.

“It is also rather disheartening to find the names of His Royal Majesty, Eze K. K. Ogbu, Enachioken of Abiriba kingdom; Hon. Chief Kingsley Imaga, the Abia State Commissioner for Transport from Elu Ohafia; Hon. Uduma Uguru from Okagwe Ohafia; Chief Idika Ukonu from Ohafor Ward; Mrs. Nelly Onwuka from Ameke Abiriba, and a lot others on the voters register of this same Unit and Ward. In fact, there were cases of those whose pictures appeared more than one with different names. For instance, the images of Barr. Ben Kalu, the APC candidate for Bende Federal Constituency in the 2019 general elections, were repeated severally with fake names in the register. For avoidance of doubt, Barr. Kalu is from Bende community, a council entirely different from Ohafia local government area. So, I wonder the correlations these two have.”

The former Supervisory Councilor, while speaking further, said from the ongoing, it is evident that the valid voters from the affected registration areas are not up to 1,000 out of the about 11,000 voters purportedly registered by INEC.

“The fraudulent appearances of names and images of people from places outside Etitama community in Ndi Elu Ward Nkporo is a clear indication that this was readily perfected through the use of their pictures as against the INEC rules of direct capturing and physical appearance before registration officer at the registration centres, and this further explains the astronomical increase of registered voters in these areas. This is most heinous than vote buying. It is a conscious effort by the commission to stripe, and rob the innocent and unsuspecting members of my units, Ward and Nkporo community as a whole their franchise. This action of INEC has rendered them no longer trustworthy, instead the entire community now view them circumspect as decadent and degenerate morbid grave diggers,” he said.

Hon. Ogbaja, therefore, said he had approached the law court having failed to secure a reasonable explanation from INEC, adding, “despite my complaints, the commission went ahead and published the same list of registered voters during the final publication of voters register in January.”

In the Writ of Summons with Suit No. FHC/UM/CS/06/19 obtained by Igbere TV, Hon. Ogbaja is asking the law court for:- (a) a declaration that the published register of voters in the 15 units of Etitama Nkporo in Ndi Elu Ward, Ohafia local government area of Abia State, is a gross infringement and a flagrant violation of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) and the Electoral Act and Guidelines for the registration of voters; and therefore otiose null and void; (b) an order nullifying or setting aside the purported published register of voters by INEC in the 15 affected units of Ndi Elu Ward, Nkporo, Ohafia local government area of the state, for being made in violation of the Electoral Act and Guidelines for the registration of voters; (c) an order of injunction restraining the defendants, their agents, servants and/or workmen from using the purported published register of voters in the affected units in the conduct of the 2019 general elections.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) Abia State and the INEC Electoral Officer (EO), Ohafia local government area, were listed as 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants.

The case has been fixed for February 25, 2019 for hearing at the Federal High Court, Umuahia, Abia State.

CJ Onnoghen has betrayed his office !

The events leading to the suspension of Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen was preceded by a number of issues that appeared no less than a betrayal of the office he held. As the person at the helm of the judiciary in Nigeria, Chief Justice Walter Onnoghen who was supposed to be adjudicating corruption cases and the very least be the one at the center of purging corruption in Nigeria was found to be at the center of an allegation by a civil society organisation which had accused him of corruption.

Before the allegations came to the fore, the Nigerian security agencies had traced other suspicious transactions running into millions of US dollars that were going into the Chief Justice’s personal accounts. All the amounts were declared or improperly declared as required by law in Nigeria. While admitting to his charges in written form after the accusation, the judge admitted that he indeed failed to follow the law as he should have while declaring assets. He blamed it on ‘forgetfulness and mistakes both which are never excuses in courts of law.

Upon admitting his ‘forgetfulness and mistakes’ the judge continued staying in office despite him facing a tribunal. This in itself was contradictory for someone who dishes out judgements to felons who normally come up with excuses as similar as the ones he gave to Nigerians when he faced the accusation. How would he rule a judgement while he was already tainted ? Who would take him seriously ?

On a number of occasions, the same Chief justice has freed many individuals who had been accused of corruption on mere technicalities. In some of these cases, the individuals had already been sentenced by lower courts. Him being in-charge of the supreme court of the land, his ruling holds sway and nullifies any other ruling made by the lower courts. This implies very many corrupt suspects who had received sentences ended up walking scot free.

IKPEAZU SYPHONS ANOTHER N7B

As the election draws closer, campaign and electioneering activities takes over our country’s atmosphere.

Our Governors that has just done one term are jostling for another chance, while the outgoing are battling between the candidate the want them to succeed their offices and the will of the people.

The battle is on, but one ☝ singular State every sane Igbo man would wonder why her governor is working towards re-election, is Abia State.

Governor Okezie Ikpeazu and his cronies has so impoverish Abia State that it may take upto 30 years to recover if we stop his re-election now.

Ikpeazu has been busy emptying Abia State purses while working towards his re-election and also saving money Incase he looses, as it very obvious he will loose the 2019 election.

This week, a new plan is under way to mop up N7B from ASUBEB for the election expenses that him and his cronies budgeted N14.8B for.

With the measure Ikpeazu and his gangs are taking, one will wonder if the dude actually think. Just before us here, 2 former governors were slammed in Abuja court last year, and today, they are doing times over funds embezzled close to 2 decades ago.

Someone should tell Ikpeazu that vote buying won’t save him, neither will he escape going to jail tomorrow.

Abia North Deserves a Senator, He is OUK – By Peter Eze

We have a senator in Abia North Senatorial Zone whose chief concern is re-election and enriching himself alongside his sponsors while claiming other people’s projects. He’s shown no interest in the actual legislature or improving people’s lives. In fact, he seems utterly indifferent to human suffering. He has incurred public stigma to himself that many voters in Abia state, including his party people, are wondering why Mao Ohuabunwa is still the senator of Abia North Senatorial zone.

So what are Ohuabunwa’s records?

In his four years as a senator, he made a thousand and one promises and fulfilled none. The painful and heartbreaking part of the whole thing is his zero efforts in instituting/attracting anything remarkable. Instead of attracting developments, propaganda upon propaganda is being sold out to members of the public. All we have on grounds were roads being constructed on social media and newspapers. All we saw were poor flag off ceremonies and then abandoned projects. Specifically, the dilapidated Arochukwu-Ohafia-road leading to his hometown is impassable and in 2017 he promised that by the quarter of 2018, the road would be a done deal since he claimed a provision has been made for it in the 2017 budget. But unsurprisingly, they were all lies as usual. Without the intervention of the former governor of the state, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu (OUK) whose close relationship with the federal government caused the NDDC to award the road for construction to Heartland Construction company, the road would have remained in its pitiful state.

Ohuabunwa’s townsmen in Arochukwu are still thanking OUK for his personal intervention that necessitated the Akwa Ibom State government and the NDDC to making the Ikpe-IkotNkone/Obotme/Arochukwu Road available to Ndi Arochukwu. With no shame, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa plies the same route to his hometown.

Now that it’s time for the election, Ohuabunwa makes noise about re-election and has resorted to claiming projects in Abia North, when in fact he’s done nothing and attempted nothing. His Aro kinsmen are angry he turned out to be a disaster and waste to Abia North.

In fairness to the ‘Frying Pan Senator’, – a name given to him by his constituents after he distributed frying pans to women as empowerment – Mao Ohuabunwa’s only achievement in his four-year stay in the national assembly is to chair “primary healthcare and communicable diseases committee” in the Senate, even though his constituents never received any healthcare benefit. Aside from lawmaking, a senator is expected to be a beacon of hope for his constituents in so many ways.

Voters really need to look at who’s fit to serve in the Senate before electing one. This is because a senator without capacity is no senator. Abia North deserves a senator who will improve on decaying infrastructure of the zone and who can guarantee every constituents’ access to quality healthcare and who believes that the constituency must be leading on human capital development–not just pay lip service to the cause. We deserve a senator who will advocate for equal opportunity at the center and bring home what belongs to Abia North and Ndigbo in general. We need a senator who can contribute to the improvement of the quality of schools in the zone and won’t settle for the bare minimum.

Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu will be that Senator. He has the capacity!

A news article that recently appeared on a tabloid asked “ What does Kalu want again? He has been a two-term governor. In business, he is a global brand and Forbes Billionaire. What more would he do as a senator?

My response is that though Kalu has accomplished a lot, there’s more to do. Being a man of influence, Abia North need Kalu for their own benefit. Performance in the Senate is a matter of influence, it is a place where people with influence can actually get things done. Looking at Abia North, the only candidate running for election to be at the upper chamber, who has influence, and who has a global network and reach is Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu. He is the only one we know that can engage the legislature and executive and they will listen. He is among the very few in Igbo land who has a long-standing friendship with President Muhammadu Buhari. Kalu is the only one of influence and voters must put that influence to the benefit of Abia state in particular and Igbo land in general

The fact remains that Abia north has real problems that deserve real solutions – roads, public schools, family-supporting jobs, clean drinking water. Perhaps if the frying pan senator hadn’t pandered away billions accrued to Abia North and shared with his co-sponsors, they could have stayed ahead. Call it Mao Ohuabunwa’s wasted years, but I believe Abia North deserves a senator who will put the constituency and families ahead of self-advancement, someone who will fight for an economy where the people get the benefits and rewards they deserve. To get there, we’ve got to vote differently. And the surest way to achieve this is by electing OUK

Dr Orji Uzor Kalu is a house hold name, and yet he hasn’t taken anything for granted in his run for Senate. He has already hit the campaign trail hard with tens of campaign events in Abia State. His event schedules show that despite his huge fan base and acceptance, he takes nothing for granted. Many roads in Abia North have also been reconstructed through the efforts of Kalu not withstanding he is not yet a senator. For attracting federal presence to Abia North through the facilitation of Bende-Afam-Ohafia-Arochukwu roads, Kalu has helped Abia North receive fair share of federal presence. The former governor has also confirmed that other roads including Ututu, Nkpa, Ugwueke, Item, Abiriba, Nkporo, Ohafia, Acha, Abam 1 and Abam 2 would be attended to by the NDDC this year. He is also working fervently to bring polytechnics in Abia North. For attracting more than 30 roads in total in Abia North even as a non-serving senator;for putting politics aside and getting the job done OUK has proven beyond expectations of what he would eventually do when officially elected. Igbo people not even Abia North are well confident of the good works of their eminent son, OUK, in diverse areas of endeavor including attraction of social amenities, youth empowerment and development, sustenance of cultural heritage, effective community development, health care initiatives, political and community leadership, philanthropy, youth employment and more.

There is an existing history in Nigerian politics of voters crossing partisan lines to reject candidates who have failed abysmally and whom they object to, or to support candidates whom they believe their delivery capacity.There are contests where it is ethically necessary to put aside partisanship and back a candidate from another party. There are also times when it is politically practical to abandon your party line for one election. The Abia North contest meets the ethical standard and the practical standard. While many wise PDP and APGA members recognize this, others only need to recognize the reality of Abia North current circumstance. When something is headed in the wrong direction, you don’t push harder in the same direction. You must have the courage to change direction. That direction is voting the APC candidate in the forthcoming Abia North Senatorial election. Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu is the man with the capacity to transform Abia North. Vote OUK!

Is Governor Ikpeazu Still In The Race? – By Okey Amuta

The South East Rally of the All Progressive Congress,held in Umuahia recently, was a blast of fire.It exploded right in the face of the incompetent and grossly corrupt Governor of Abia State.

The National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, released the fire bomb, and it hit its mark with the highest accuracy.

A glimpse of the fact in issue here,will throw some light, and I quote the Comrade
”Ikpeazu Begged Me Not To Sack Him As Governor, Offered To Deliver Buhari As President”

”Ikpeazu Embezzled Bailout Funds ,Promised Me To Betray Atiku At ‘ Presidential Elections’

”Ikpeazu collected the APC government bailout fund from President Buhari and embezzled it. Buhari gave him that money specifically to pay Abia workers but Ikpeazu collected it and shared with his PDP friends. Today Abia State workers are owed for 9 months.”

”President Buhari gave Ikpeazu the Paris fund twice, some States just received once but Ikpeazu collected the Paris fund and ended up in Paris, France, with his family and the good people of Abia are suffering today”

”He came to me begging for support in the 2019 elections, that he will give Buhari 25% votes in Abia. I told him: Ikpeazu, it is you that I will give that 25% vote s.I asked him, are we writing results or we are talking about the people’s votes? I want to thwart that rumour that we are supporting Ikpeazu.”

Waoo! I weep for my State. I weep profusely and unconsolably because with people like Ikpeazu, there is no longer hope for the people unless they resolutely take their fate in their own hands come general elections, 2019.

I am waiting to see what PDP members will do after this revelation. Are there still credible people in that party of no conscience? As with the average Nigerian politician, will PDP in Abia state try to explain away this irreparable damage?

Come to think of this critically: where will Okezie Ikpeazu get the 25% votes he is promising Buhari? Before making such a promise, did he have any consideration for a free and fair elections that will take into account the will and resolution of the people for self determination?

Ahh!! Comrade Adams Oshiomhole is a liar! Will that not be the response of someone caught red handed with his hand deep inside a pot of soup?

Betrayal!! That is the name of Okezie Ikpeazu’s plan and action. In my world, and I believe, in the world of any man of integrity, betrayal is the greatest sin. It is treasonable.This is more so when it is perpetrated by the very custodian and leader of the struggle. In this case,what will Ikpeazu tell Atiku, his presidential candidate, and overall leader of the PDP?

It is good to be ambitious and hardworking. What is debasing and dangerous is inordinate ambition. It can lead to anything imaginable. It can lead to stealing, robbery, anything and everything, including witchcraft.

The greatest crime committed against the people of Abia, was to give power to a poor man; a man without pedigree; a man who obtained his first international passport after becoming Governor. With such a background, what good did anybody think would come out of this Nazareth?

I call on Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, imposed Governor of Abia state, to resign now and withdraw from the race for re- election. You have now lost all credibility. You do not need to be reminded now that you have become an endangered species. President Buhari will. come after you. Atiku Abubaka will come after you and the memory of what you did to The Ngwa Nation would hunt and haunt you for ever.

This is your political good night!
Run now!!

Abia Election Debate: Shame As Chima Anyaso runaway from Studio during a heated debate.

There was a mild drama today at the Abia Election Debate, kicked off at Vision Africa Radio, Umuahia.

The debate which was organised by the Abia Based Media Houses in Collaboration with Abia State Chapter of OMPAN, saw the moment Chima Anyaso, PDP candidate for Bende Federal House of Representatives shamefully abscond from studio while debate was ongoing.

During the debate monitored by ABACITYBLOG, questions of Chima’s integrity and credibility for the position surfaced, at that point, the PDP candidate started to launch personal attacks against Barrister Benjamin Kalu, APC Candidate for Bende Federal House of Representatives.

Ben Kalu in response to the personal attacks reminded Chima Anyaso of the case currently pending at the Federal High Court, Ikoyi (Case no. FHC/L/CS/1896/2015 – read story here), between First Bank and Chima’s company, Caades, which revealed allegations of signature forgery and criminal diversion of funds against Chima.

The APC candidate kept ramping up the heat until Chima prematurely left the studio about one hour into the debate but not before he flipped off the entire room using the middle finger gesture in a rude and childish display of petulance.

After Chima had run from the showdown, BenKalu mocked Mr. Anyaso for running from the heat and thereafter continued to marshal points and elaborate on issues in his manifesto.

The APC candidate ended by thanking his supporters and family for always supporting him and his mission to provide better representation for Bende.

The Need For Abians To Queue Behind Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah To Move Abia Forward.- By Uche Aguoru

In life great minds are created for the benefit of the larger society, majorly to rescue them in times of hardship and oppression.

Many Abia families including the working class today are living below poverty lines going by the U.N recommended standard of living.

These hardships is not as a result of laziness or lack of what to do to improve their living standard, as it has been proved that an average Abian is hard working, resilient, very enterprising, creative and resourceful.

Abia, a state richly endowed with human and material capital has failed to gain its footing as a result of unintelligent and lazy leadership, the state had so unfortunately been bedeviled with leaders whose sense of development is limited within the realm of the conventional and easily available funding process and who also do not think of how to create wealth or improve on the funding process for the state.

The affairs of the state have been run by people whose interest and loyalty lies more on their selfish motives than the overall wellbeing of the people who voted them into office.

Our collective destinies as a people have been handed over to those who are not ready for the task of governance but were coerced into it for reasons of individual and selfish motives.

I believe that it has come to that point when Abians should decide between backwardness, hunger and further underdevelopment as we have always experienced under the PDP and a progressive future which Dr. Uche Ogah represents, I believe Abians should as a matter of duty vote for Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah because of his well-designed program aimed at resuscitating all moribund companies/projects domiciled in Abia through an industrial revolution program, Dr. Ogah has provided Abians with the needed escape from poverty and unemployment through a carefully thought out scheme aimed at building cottage industries across the 17 LGA,s.

Dr. Ogah’s agricultural policy which also incorporates a scheme that will make funding readily available for rural farmers and artisans across the 17 LGAs in Abia state will eliminate hunger and improve the states economy, this project is designed to generate jobs and improve agriculture and food production and sufficiency in Abia state.

Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah’s economic and infrastructural development program has been designed with implementation plan and funding/partnership guaranteed to take the youths off the streets and make sure that families are gainfully engaged in one economic activity or another, while the scheme will be predicated upon a developmental tripod of wealth creation, economic development /empowerment and infrastructural elaboration.

Dr. Ogah has designed a contact of prosperity and inclusive leadership that possesses the capacity to revive the state from the cesspit of economic abyss and political corruption.

Abia needs that leader with the capacity to recover our state from economic, infrastructural and political woes that our dear state is experiencing at the moment.

Time for empty political promises are over, time for aligning behind a political party that will end up producing a non performing governor is over, time for us to regret and complain after every election should be over if we should cast our votes for Dr. Uchechukwu Sampson Ogah, a man with the vision and mission to move Abia, economically, socially and politically forward and return us to the path of progress and development.

NIGERIA AND CORRUPTION: President Buhari On The Rescue.

Looking at the campaign promises of Mr President Buhari in 2014, it was obvious the kind of Nigeria that could emanate if truly he kept his promises, most especially that of corruption. Many saw it as mission impossible.

In the face of truth and for the better growth of our country Nigeria, we must admit, corruption had been the core reasons of the state of our underdeveloped nation, Nigeria.

It’s unfortunate to say, the grip of corruption on Nigeria, is like a virus that had eaten so deep, of which solutions can’t bring immediate cure. Furthermore, corruption is in virtually every facets of the Nigeria system, be it governance, private sectors, marketers, in our educational system. The idea of getting rich quick at a given opportunity is a syndrome driving almost every average Nigerians.

These scourges were factors seen, to fight back and pull Mr President Buhari down if he meant to accomplish his corruption agenda.
Some Nigerians, had given up the beauty of fighting a justful cause till an end. They fell apart, Reasons credited to their interests, not met by the Buhari’s administration.
Those that have illegally evaded taxes for years are in support of the removal of an integrity administration to bring in gullible administration to further continue evasion of taxes.

The civil servants in various ministries are uncomfortable with Buhari’s administration as the implemented TSA had blocked that possible channel of extra bush allowances of public funds that goes in BAGS. Madam is angry at home as the free money is out of reach from Oga. The children are angry as their pocket money of extra bogus is slashed, cutting their suits according to sizes. All, in this categories are on the streets, shouting the government is bad… bring him down!!!

The market women on the other hand at this time, praying for small fuel scarcity in this coming December to hike price of commodities. Many had made stocks, waiting for this practice to make profits, selling stocked goods at hiked prices to graze the festive.

They never started it anyway, it originate mainly in sequence. First, the oil marketers would ignite a start. Rumors of fuel scarcity, filling stations would luck up with big sign post “PETROL – NO, DESEL – NO”. With fuel stocked underground. Panic begins as traveler’s are set to hit the road for festive.

Then the transporters: this time the fare is tripled to suit the fuel scarcity. So pathetic strategy to extort from poor Nigerians. This is basically, corruption highly planned and executed in clear broad daylight. We pray to see an end to such, as we approach the festive seasons if not, politicians of opposition are waiting for that error, to serve as a meal of conviction to Nigerians that Buhari is doing nothing…

It’s not forbidden to say, Nigeria is divided into two factions prior to the coming 2019 elections. One factions are standing on the side of an incorruptible personality while the other faction, standing for a corrupt diagnosed Personality. Go ask the United States of America if you care to know, with the interest of your country at heart !!!

The greed in the eyes of some of these leaders that had piloted the affairs of Nigeria from the center in the past, has no cure. To swallow back our vomits is even more dangerous as the poison that led to that vomit, remains in that vomit and must accomplish it’s mission if swallowed.

Have you in your deepest taught asked the reasons why they refused to let go off the ambitions of been on the table where Nigeria is planned and discussed? Are you already deceived by their promises of returning to fix Nigeria?

Funny indeed but the truth be told, they have their score cards, they even confirmed the blames by themselves. President Goodluck told us the state of the Nigeria that was given to him by his predecessor. President Obasanjo was on a national television, and we all witnessed the tearing of his PDP party membership card, discrediting Mr President GEJ his successor. Don’t also forget the plans by Atiku Abubaka to impeach President Obasanjo, even President OBJ attested to the fact that his Vice, Atiku had eyes on his Presidency. This same President OBJ also told us his God won’t forgive him if he (OBJ) forgives Atiku his vice on accounts of irregularities and so on…

Now tell me, what basic logic have you to follow such group of leaders to host a return if you’re not a partaker? Would you give your business back to such, if your business was a victim?

The earlier we take Nigeria as our own, the better we strive.We must hustle above the gullibility of life and stand upright if we must achieve that Nigeria we desire.

How can a sensible Nigerian embrace those that perfected the abandonment of the numerous projects President Buhari has taken up and still turn around to pure spittle at him? That is witchcraft in display in a broad daylight. To condemn President Buhari for revisiting abandoned projects to a finish is regrettable of a citizen that truly want the growth of a nation.

I have always said, if you’re not satisfied with the efforts of President Buhari in three years plus, go practical and clear your doubts, I advise you drop this your phone inside a bucket of water, leave it there for 16days, take it for repairs and await it’s return as it were, in 3days. Buhari may have made promises, but as a wise leader, seeing the huge useful projects abandoned by past administration, it would be callous of a leader like him to look off those abandoned projects rather, look for ways to complete the once he can and also initiate new once. This, President Buhari had done but as we all know, the oppositions would always bank on such to campaign against his reelection forgetting it’s all their mess.

If our foreign reserve had increased from what Buhari met it, even in the face of economic melt down that resulted from past mismanagement of our economy by past administration, coupled with the drop in oil price at the inception of his administration, it would be ironical to say, Buhari had contributed nothing to effect Nigeria’s economy.

If under Buhari, some prominent served Nigerians met justice to the tone of their misdeeds, something the PDP never achieved but rather swept under carpets, in their sentimental attachment to consenting corruption, knowing their involvements, it’s formidable to say, Buhari cares more for Nigerians and his zeal to the NEXT LEVEL is worth propagating.

The diversification of our economy is no grumble a step in the wrong directions… oh oh, did I say that? is it on a right direction? Farmers receiving farm facilities given as empowerment by the federal government. Unlike when same facilities were denied and diverted for personal uses. The transparency and diligence seen by farmers from the federal government had motivated farmers and the results are seen in their outputs. Am proud to say, Nigeria can now boast of having rich and mechanized farmers.

Foods are becoming relatively cheap and affordable. My short period in Nasarawa, seeing the surpluses of edibles was a prove that by the time the rail ways are completed by President Buhari, the ease of transportation of perishables from the north to other parts of the nation would improve our standards of living. This rail projects started with this same PDP years ago, even before President GEJ. Have you asked why it was left to suffer, back in the past? But President Buhari is there for a rescue to see such huge project see the daylight.

It might interest Nigerians to note that the world is watching, to know our decisions on the presidential election come 2019. A vote for Mr President Buhari the incorruptible, would define a lot in our coexistence with notable countries in the world. It simply means choosing Integrity over gullibility which of course is a right decision any sensible society would be proud to exhibit.

Let’s join hands and put an end to this corruption that had dealt with our economic and infrastructural developments. It’s our duty to place Nigeria aright again.

I stand corrected……

Point to an allegations involving President Buhari in reference to misuse or diversions of public funds for personal use. Whereby you fail to, ask yourself that question, the answer dwells within you.

What Nigeria need are personalities with less interest on public funds and Buhari remains a figure of such attributes to laying a foundation and he deserves reelection.

Like Mr President Buhari would always say, “if we don’t kill corruption, corruption would kill Nigeria”.

Standing on that grounds, we have resolved to always Keep Hopes Alive as we continually support President Buhari’s reelection, it’s indeed, a move to the NEXT LEVEL..

Orji Kalu Escapes Assassination as Gunmen Storm Campaign Ground

An attempt to attack former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Kalu was aborted, Tuesday, after after hoodlums laid siege for the APC senatorial candidate for Abia North, during his campaign in Abam village, Abia State.

According to IgbereTV, the criminals, who were armed with pump action and pistols, were prevented from striking by security details attached to Kalu.

Confirming the incident, an eye witness, who craved anonymity said;

“the boys came to the campaign ground with pump action hidden in their clothes but one of the security men attached to our boss was smart enough to the one of the hoodlums as they tried to jump down from a bike.”

“The security man alerted others and they went after the boys who abandoned their bike and ran into the forest

“The search for the miscreants is still on going as appropriate authorities have vowed to uncover the those behind the ugly act.
