How Jega Will Be Removed

How Jega Will Be Removed


There are indications that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, may have started clearing his table and preparing hand-over notes preparatory to the commencement of his terminal leave which is expected to begin on March 24. What this means is that Jega may not conduct the 2015 general elections despite insistence by the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) that he must supervise the elections. The UNION learnt yesterday that Jega, who had severally been blamed for shoddy preparations for the election prior to the February 14 date, may actually be on his last days at the commission. It was gathered that due process will be applied in Jega’s removal as had been applied in other such circumstances including the removal of Charles Soludo as CBN governor.

According to The UNION findings, Jega, whose four-year tenure expires in June, is entitled to a renewed tenure but at the discretion of the President. Rule guiding Jega’s appointment as INEC chairman, gives the president the powers to either remove or retain him upon expiration of his tenure. However, it was learnt that if Jega was to have a renewed tenure, his name ought to have been forwarded by the Presidency to the National Assembly, for consideration, as at March 6th. “In the event that that has not been done so far, it means he is not being considered for another term of office.

That means he will have to leave by March 24”, our source which is close to the electoral commission said. According to the source, “if he does not get a letter informing him of the submission of his name for re-appointment at least two weeks to when he is supposed to commence his terminal leave, it means that he will be expected to write government informing of his decision to commence his terminal leave on March 24; if he does not write, then, he will get a letter from the office he reports to, telling him who to handover to on March 24. “If that happens, it means he will not sit in office by March 28 and April 11 when the elections will hold”, our source informed. “That is what the procedural rules say”,

On the effect this will have on the election dates, our source informed that “elections can be conducted by anyone at the commission. It is not a Jega personal affair. INEC has national commissioners and executive secretary who could handle such responsibility. Who says it must be Jega?” Jega, our source noted, is not unaware of his fate with dates which, according to him, was the reason he hurriedly fixed elections for Feb 14. “He is aware of all that and that was why he fixed the elections for February 14. Come to think of it, we have always held our elections in April since 2003. So, what was so special about this that it was brought forward to February?”, our source noted. Jega had come under serious criticisms for his alleged closeness to the opposition APC leading to calls by different groups, for his removal.

Specifically, southern leaders represented by Dr. Alex Ekwueme, Chief Edwin Clarke and others, had at a press conference in Abuja, called for Jega’s removal over alleged connivance with the opposition party to derail the electoral process. Former Anambra State governor, Dr. Chukwuemeka Ezeife, had also stated, in an interview, that the elections may not hold until Jega was removed. According to him, Jega had compromised his position by allegedly working too closely with the APC and seeking to deliver a quarrelsome election. Though Jega had during his appearance before the National Council of State in February made specific request for extension of time for the commission to be fully prepared for the election, he however shifted the burden of responsibility to the security agencies when he told Nigerians that the commission was ready to conduct the election but for security operatives.

Death-Row Nigerian Loses Appeal

Death-Row Nigerian Loses Appeal


The days are now counting for a death-row Nigerian in an Indonesian prison, known as Raheem Agbaje Salami, as a court in the country refuses jurisdiction in an appeal he filed seeking a review of the case for which he was condemned to die. Salami’s lawyers had appealed against President Joko Widodo’s rejection of his clemency plea in the Administrative Court. The appeal was thrown out yesterday. Dismissing the appeal, the court said it lacked jurisdiction over presidential decisions. Two Australians, also on death-row, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, suffered the same setback last month. However, Salami’s lawyer, Utomo Karim, has said he would appeal. Two other Nigerians, Okwudili Ayotanze and Sylvester Obiekwe, are also waiting for the hangman in Indonesia.

Ayontanze, is said to have become a gospel singer and jams with prison guards. He has also released albums from his Nusakambangan prison. Obiekwe, according to agency reports, has angered authorities by continuing to run a drug syndicate from behind bars. Meanwhile, a senior counsellor from the Nigerian embassy in Jakarta, Ibrahim Babani, has said the Nigerian government was fighting for the lives of the citizens. “We passionately believe that all three should be given a chance,” Mr Babani said, adding “if you go deep into their cases there are reasons they should be allowed to live.” Mr Babani said lawyers for the three men had indicated they were pursuing legal action. But Salami’s lawyer, Karim, disclosed that he will also seek a judicial review for his client in the Surabaya district court tomorrow, on the ground that the entire prosecution of his case was illegal because it was based on the man’s fake identity.

This, it is believed, could further delay the death of the 10 drug felons after the Attorney-General’s office indicated it would put executions on hold pending the outcome of several court cases. A man purporting to be Raheem Agbaje Salami, from the southern Spanish city of Cordova, was arrested in 1998 smuggling 5.3 kilograms of heroin into Surabaya, Indonesia’s second largest city. However Raheem’s passport was false. His real name is Jamiu Owolabi Abashin, a Nigerian national. And although he was arrested 17 years ago, Indonesian authorities continue to use the fake name in prison on Nusakambangan. Mr Utomo will argue the prosecution of his case was illegal because his fake identity was used from his arrest to his conviction in the district court right through to the rejection of his clemency plea. Three of the others on death row – Filipino migrant worker Mary Jane Fiesta Veloso, Frenchman Serge Areski Atlaoui and Indonesian Zainal Abidin – are also seeking judicial reviews of their cases.

A number of women who were recently cured of the dreaded Vesico Vaginal Fistula (VVF) or recto vaginal fistula (VVF, yesterday described President Goodluck Jonathan as God sent vowing to ensure his return at the March 28 Presidential election. The women who turned out in their large numbers were amongst beneficiaries of the Federal Government G-WIN programme, also known as Growing Girls and Women In Nigeria, G-WINN, an initiative of the Coordinating Minister of the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngoni Okonjo -Iweala, which was officially launched by President Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.


The women said they are amongst the over 3515 who were successfully repaired and had their health restored in their testimony at the official launch of the programme at the Presidential Villa, Abuja Their spokesperson who spoke through an interpreter in Hausa language had amidst tears recalled how they were neglected by the same people who had married them out at a relatively early age and were later abandoned to suffer by their husbands.


They commended the President who through his intervention had their health restored after the treatments they received at the Federal government VVF centres in Katsina and Ebonyi states. “Mr. President has helped us to regain our health and we have no other way to thank him but to ensure that he is re-elected during the March 28 Presidential election so that you can continue to do the good work that you are doing” “This is the first President who took special interest in what is happening to us and we know that by the Grace of God, he will be returned come March 28” But President Jonathan while speaking during this event assured that government t will continue to encourage Nigerian women to ensure that they fly higher. “We will encourage both the young and old women in their endeavour so that Nigerian women will continue to fly higher and higher. Let me sincerely thank the Coordinating Minister for the Economy for initiating the G-WIN programme.”

Read Bishop David Oyedepo’s Prophecy About 2015 Elections





The President and Founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said that in these last days, many nations who are currently facing economic woes will soon begin to merge with other nations for survival. Speaking during the fourth service at Faith Tabernacle, the 50,000-seater capacity which serves as the headquarters of the church, also known as Winners’ Chapel, the faith preacher stunned members his followers Sunday March 8, 2015 when he declared that in the light of the current economic crunch happening all over the world, some nations will, out of frustration, practically beg other nations to absolve them, a situation he termed ‘divine judgment”.

He also assured Nigerians that the forthcoming general elections would be peaceful, urging that those who are currently relocating their family members abroad for fear of a breakdown of law and order, before, during and after the elections to desist from it: “What is happening on the earth today is divine judgment, but within that context, God has ordained an exemption programme for His children,” he thundered. “We have never had crises all over the world like we’ve had in the last few years. In those days, it used to be two nations fighting. But these days, many nations are fighting at the same time,” he continued. He posited that famine would soon wreak havoc in the world, forcing nations to mortgage their future. “Now there is famine in diverse places…we will soon hear that nations are acquiring other nations; some will even sell themselves to other nations, begging them to allow them become states in their nations,” he noted.

The Omu-Aran born grandfather apostle, who is said to be the richest pastor in the world, however assured members that there is a way out of the ‘gross darkness’ that is engulfing the world. Quoting the Bible book of Psalms 91, the Chancellor of Covenant University, one of the ministry’s private varsities said, “But in all these, God has an exemption plan for His children. The Bible says ‘A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand on the right hand, but it shall not come near you, because we are listed among the redeemed. Judgment is coming down on the wicked but there shall no evil befall you.”

The 60-year-old pastor ended by assuring worshippers and Nigerians that the forthcoming general elections would be devoid of crises as anticipated in some quarters. In a rather prophetic manner, he bellowed, “Watch it, concerning this nation, there’s a great future. This election shall be peaceful; it will come to pass like a dream of the night. Offices will not be shut down for a moment; it shall be peaceful, there will be order as ordained by God and we will celebrate at the end of the day,” he assured. The pastor also had a word for politicians who rely so much on ‘godfatherism’: “There is no kingmaker on the earth; God is then only authentic kingmaker. So He will ensure that His Will is established in Nigeria at all levels. He will ensure there’s no war by installing only those who are righteous in power,” he told his congregation.

Who wore it better? Genevieve Nnaji vs Rihanna


It's a very similar cut. Genevieve wore hers to the AMVCAs last night and Rihanna hers, a Zac Posen dress, to her Diamond Ball event in December 2014. Who rocked it?
