Obasanjo will realise he is not God after February 16 - APC

Buhari and Obasanjo engaging in a discussion.


Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress has said the former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s push to make President Muhammadu Buhari lose the presidential election holding next month will amount to nothing when the country goes to poll.
“So for us Obasanjo should adjust himself to the reality that after February 16, he would realise he is not God,” APC’s spokesperson, Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu said while addressing a press conference in Abuja on Sunday.

“He has carried himself about as the dispenser of our destiny and God is showing him clearly that he has just only been lucky and the favour that God has done to him he has considered them as the things that are coming from himself,” he added.

APC is reacting to Obasanjo’s 16-page open letter, titled, “Points for concern and action”, in which he took a swipe at Buhari describing his administration as a return to the era of the late former Head of state, Sani Abacha.

APC said it was the former president, not Buhari, who has a dictatorial tendency. Both Buhari and Obasanjo were former military rulers in the country.

“For 8 years of President Obasanjo, all the elections held, in fact, government policies were determined by whatever mood he found himself,” Issa-Onilu said.

“All the institutions of government were brought under his whims. And what he did for those 8 years is what is haunting him.”

Obasanjo also said Buhari was planning to rig the February 16 presidential poll because of his “mad desperation” to win.

“From available intelligence, we have heard of how Buhari and his party are going about his own self-succession project,” Obasanjo said.

“They have started recruiting collation officers who are already awarding results based on their projects to actualise the perpetuation agenda in which the people will not matter and the votes will not count.”

APC, however, denied planning to rig the poll and promised “a free, fair and credible election.”

“We have no reason to want to rig election. Our achievements speak for us.”

“This election would come. It would be free and fair. APC doesn’t have any reason to rig it,” Issa-Onilu said.

Prostitution; Nigerian Women At Growing Risk From Human Traffickers In Germany.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige...

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission ...
