Despite Claims From Military That Girls Had Escaped<p>Mystery surrounds the fate of more than 100 teenage girls<br>
who were abducted from a school in the remote north-<br>
east of Nigeria. The military had come out yesterday to say<br>
that all but eight of the 129 girls have escaped, but parents<br>
of the girls say that figure is not accurate and many are<br>
still missing.<br>
There have been conflicting reports coming from various<br>
sources concerning the over 120 girls that were abducted<br>
a few days ago by Boko Haram in Borno state.<br>
Another source has also said that 15 girls were able to<br>
escape, but the rest are still being held captive. It is<br>
thought Islamist militant group Boko Haram took the girls<br>
to forested areas near the Cameroonian border.<br>
A N50 million reward is being given to anyone who<br>
provides information that will lead to the capture of the<br>
terrorists responsible for this kidnapping according to<br>
Sahara Reporters.</p>

Rumors have been swirling over the past couple of days that StarBoy WizKid and his manager of the last couple of years Godwin Tom have separated ways. Godwin Tom recently put out a series of tweets indicating that he was tired and done with WizKid.<br />
"Fuck this shit… I’m done! — Godwin Tom (@GodwinTom) April 14, 2014<br />
<br />
<br />
" I’m on the move and I can’t look back… No regrets at all! Wasted time, I can’t get that back so everyday I go hard! #NoRegrets Pusha T — Godwin Tom (@GodwinTom) April 14, 2014<br />
<br />
"Im loyal and patient… not stupid! DOnt get it twisted! — Godwin Tom (@GodwinTom) April 12, 2014.<br />
<br />
An anonymous source has come out to say that Godwin Tom had had enough of Wizkid and his shenanigans, and decided to quit. We have confirmed that Godwin did in fact end things, but we have not been able to confirm exactly what lead to the issue. From all indications it does seem that Godwin, who had managed MI, SDC and Waje previously, had had enough of everything. With his resume and status, it wont be long before Godwin picks up someone else I’m sure. On the other hand, WizKid had moved to change the management details on his twitter and social media pages.

SCOAN, Prophet T.B. Joshua has released a video where<br>
he claimed to had prophesied the Nyanya explosion that<br>
killed over 71 persons with 126 others injured.<br>
According to the controversial Prophet, he saw and<br>
warned Nigerians of the calamity during his live service at<br>
The SCOAN on November 10, 2013.<br>
During the service, T.B. Joshua – known for his doom<br>
prophecies said:<br>
“Listen to me, my people in Nigeria. Once again, take note<br>
of this: Our security should be vigilant. I am seeing a very<br>
big strike — explosion. They should take care of Abuja —<br>
capital. When I talk, you see me in a bad light. But I will<br>
keep talking. I don’t need to say the state but I am saying<br>
it. This is what I am seeing happen in Abuja. They should<br>
pray. What can they do to capture this?” <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPsrk_Z48r0&feature=youtube_gdata_player">Watch video here</a></p>

our leaders – APC<p>The All Progressives Congress (APC) has condemned the<br>
atrocious bomb blast that left 71 persons dead in Abuja on<br>
Monday, and urged the Federal Government to urgently<br>
convene a National Stakeholders’ Security Summit to help<br>
find a lasting solution to the spate of mindless killings in<br>
the country.<br>
In a statement issued in Lagos on Monday by its Interim<br>
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the<br>
party expressed its shock and sadness at the savagery of<br>
the attack, while condoling with the families of those killed<br>
and praying for a quick recovery for the injured.<br>
It said it is now obvious that all efforts so far to tackle the<br>
insurgency in the country have not yielded much fruits. It<br>
said the PDP-led Federal Government lacks the capacity<br>
and has clearly run out of ideas on how to tackle the<br>
violence.<br>
“It is time for new thinking, new ideas to stop this<br>
insurgency before it consumes all of us. The attack, right<br>
on the outskirts of Abuja which has been spared this kind<br>
of spectacular strike since 2011 means those behind it are<br>
getting bolder and bolder, and it’s time to stop them,” it<br>
said.<br>
APC said in the national interest and in the spirit of<br>
bipartisanship, it is willing and ready to be part of any<br>
positive efforts to end the daily loss of lives and the<br>
damage to property that seem to have hit a new high since<br>
the beginning of this year.<br>
Meanwhile, the party has described as despicable the<br>
PDP’s attempt to trivialise what it described as ”a very<br>
serious issue and make the opposition the fall guy for its<br>
own egregious failure.”<br>
According to APC, “‘The PDP and the government it leads<br>
at the centre should realise that this issue is beyond<br>
politics and partisanship, and should reach out to other<br>
stakeholders to help find a way to end the insurgency that<br>
has now defied all measures, including a state of<br>
emergency.<br>
”Trying to blame the opposition for the attack, as the<br>
harebrained PDP has irresponsibly done even when the<br>
bodies of the victims are still lying in the morgue, cannot<br>
advance a genuine push to end the insurgency.”‘<br>
The party wondered whether the PDP’s ignoble accusation<br>
was part of a sinister motive to call the dog a bad name<br>
just to hang it.<br>
”PDP is so desperate that it will stop at nothing to plunge<br>
Nigeria into chaos just to achieve its objective of clinging to<br>
power at all costs. Its baseless and infantile accusation, at<br>
a time of great national pain, may be a ploy to instigate a<br>
clampdown against the opposition.<br>
”We are therefore calling on all our members, and indeed<br>
all the good people of Nigeria, to be vigilant in the days<br>
ahead,” the party added.</p>

intelligence source claims all passengers and crew are
alive but held hostage<p>A Russian newspaper has claimed that Flight MH370 was<br>
hijacked by "unknown terrorists" and flown to<br>
Afghanistan, where the crew and passengers are now<br>
being held hostage.<br>
The extraordinary comments, attributed to a Russian<br>
intelligence source, appeared in the Moskovsky<br>
Komsomolets newspaper.<br>
The source told the paper: "Flight MH370 Malaysia Airlines<br>
missing on March 8 with 239 passengers was hijacked.<br>
"Pilots are not guilty; the plane was hijacked by unknown<br>
terrorists.<br>
"We know that the name of the terrorist who gave<br>
instructions to pilots is "Hitch."<br>
"The plane is in Afghanistan not far from Kandahar near<br>
the border with Pakistan."</p>
<p>According to The Daily Star, Moskovsky Komsomolets also<br>
claims the passengers have been divided into seven<br>
groups and are living in mud huts with almost no food.<br>
Twenty Asian passengers were said to have been<br>
smuggled into a bunker in Pakistan.</p>
<p>It is also claimed that the terrorists are possibly seeking to<br>
bargain with either America or China .<br>
The news, perhaps unsurprisingly, has not been confirmed<br>
by authorities either in Malaysia or China.<br>
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared soon after<br>
taking off on March 8 from Kuala Lumpur bound for<br>
Beijing.<br>
It had 227 passengers and 12 crew on board, triggering a<br>
multinational search that is now focused on the Indian<br>
Ocean.<br>
On Friday, the Prime Minister of Australia, Tony Abbott,<br>
has said he was "very confident" that signals picked up by<br>
search teams in the Indian Ocean were from missing Flight<br>
MH370's black box.<br>
During a visit to Beijing, China, he told the the Australian<br>
Broadcasting Corporation: "We have very much narrowed<br>
down the search area and we are very confident the<br>
signals are from the black box."<br>
A fifth signal was detected by search crews on Friday.<br>
The signals will eventually allow them to determine an<br>
exact resting place for the downed Boeing 777.<br>
They will then send down a submersible vehicle to plumb<br>
the depths of the ocean for the black box.<br>
The 'pings' emitted by Flight MH370's black box are soon<br>
expected to fade, more than a month after the plane,<br>
which was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew,<br>
disappeared on March 8.</p>

government perpetuates a dangerous policy of exclusion .<br />
Speaking recently during the commemoration of the 20th<br />
anniversary of the genocide in his country , Rwandan<br />
President Paul Kagame argued that the catastrophe had<br />
been decades in the making :<br />
"The most devastating legacy of European control of<br />
Rwanda was the transformation of social distinctions into<br />
so-called ' races '. We were classified and dissected , and<br />
whatever differences existed were magnified according to a<br />
framework invented elsewhere […] The colonial theory of<br />
Rwandan society claimed that hostility between something<br />
called 'Hutu ', 'Tutsi ', and 'Twa ' was permanent and<br />
necessary ."<br />
Today, it seems obvious that the murder of 800 ,000 people<br />
is not an overnight event but rather the result of<br />
deliberately cultivated hate over a lengthy period . It begins<br />
with the classification and dehumanisation of people and<br />
communities, with differences magnified according to<br />
frameworks invented elsewhere and leads to "permanent<br />
and necessary " hostility , and eventually, disaster .<br />
These are important lessons for the rest of the continent .<br />
They are particularly relevant for Kenya today .<br />
Following a series of terrorist attacks across the country ,<br />
the government has launched a crackdown on supposed<br />
criminal and terrorist elements, but one which actually<br />
seems to target the country 's minority Muslim and Somali<br />
populations. As the country marks a year since the swearing<br />
in of President Uhuru Kenyatta , the venue of his<br />
inauguration - Kasarani Stadium - has been playing host to<br />
thousands of almost exclusively ethnic Somalis who have<br />
been arrested for not producing proper identification<br />
documents.<br />
For many of them , officially sanctioned harassment is<br />
nothing new. For the last half- century , Kenyan authorities<br />
have treated Muslims and ethnic Somalis with suspicion,<br />
seeing them at best as just short of being Kenyan and at<br />
worst as a fifth column - the enemy within . In fact, as an<br />
essay by Professor Jeremy Prestholdt of the Department of<br />
History at the University of California , San Diego states:<br />
"The government of Kenya's antiterrorism initiatives have<br />
compounded an already deep sense of alienation among<br />
those most severely affected by the new measures : Kenyan<br />
Muslims, particularly those of Arab and Somali ancestry . "<br />
In colonial times, their status as native Africans was at best<br />
ambiguous and in the run - up to independence , a push<br />
towards greater autonomy at the coast and the desire of the<br />
Somali population in then Northern Frontier District to join<br />
Somalia, heightened perceptions of these communities as<br />
traitors to the Kenyan cause . The paranoia of the upcountry<br />
elites who took over from the British simply served to<br />
reinforce these views.<br />
As the report of the Truth , Justice and Reconciliation<br />
Commission showed, for most of independent Kenya's<br />
history, the government has systematically marginalised and<br />
oppressed these populations. Its policy towards them has<br />
been one of demonisation and collective punishment. It is a<br />
history replete with rape, massacres and other human rights<br />
abuses, one in which the differences magnified according to<br />
frameworks invented elsewhere became defining features<br />
of a "permanent and necessary " hostility. It has to be noted<br />
that the same treatment, though not necessarily to the<br />
same extent, was meted out to other communities , such as<br />
the Luo , who were also perceived as a threat to the Old<br />
Establishment .<br />
Seen within the context of this history, the current<br />
administration's actions are perhaps not surprising. Today<br />
the language of counter -terrorism is being employed to<br />
continue this tradition of dehumanisation and<br />
delegitimisation. It is a tradition that allows "Kenyans" to<br />
identify with the tragedy and triumph of baby Satrin<br />
Osinya while remaining blind to the suffering of Somali<br />
infants spending their nights in police cells . "Refugee " has<br />
been made synonymous with illegality and terrorism , with a<br />
status undeserving of rights . Like the Kenyan Somalis and<br />
the Muslims of the coast , their presence has been shown to<br />
be merely tolerated rather than accepted , and deeply<br />
suspect to boot.<br />
In these populations, as marginalised at the centre as they<br />
were in the periphery, the government has found a<br />
convenient scapegoat for its failures. According to a report<br />
titled Kenya and the Global War on Terror by Samuel<br />
Aronson of the London School of Economics , "The current<br />
anti- terrorism strategy in Kenya neglects the history and<br />
geopolitics of the nation and is thus flawed in its most basic<br />
capacity ." But I think the reality is a lot more sinister. The<br />
government doesn't ignore this history. It exploits and<br />
fortifies it .<br />
What it deliberately ignores is that "Wahhabism is being<br />
rejected by most Kenyan Muslims and that of the roughly<br />
200 mosques in Mombasa , 'maybe five [ can ] be considered<br />
extremist '". What it is unwilling to acknowledge is "the<br />
difference between radicalised terrorists and theologically<br />
conservative Muslims ", or that "the predominantly Sunni<br />
coastal population takes issues with Shia and Wahhabi<br />
foreigners who, according to many on the coast , lure the<br />
'lesser educated and financially needy Africans away from<br />
the true faith'" . It is more convenient to believe "the coastal<br />
[and Somali ] population is mainly terrorists ".<br />
That makes it easy to distract from the real failures -<br />
corruption and incompetence . Counter - terrorism efforts<br />
have been more about racial profiling and less about<br />
intelligence gathering and actual police work .<br />
But worse than that , by following in the footsteps of<br />
previous regimes , the government not only makes us all less<br />
safe, it perpetuates the very logic of exclusion that led to<br />
the terrible events in Rwanda 20 years ago.<br />

in Akwa Ibom said it had arrested 92 drug suspects and
seized 20.214 kg of illicit substances between March
and April.<p>The State Commander, Mrs Josephine Obi, who revealed<br>
this during an interaction with newsmen on Sunday in Uyo,<br>
said the suspects included 87 males and five females.<br>
The breakdown of the substances showed that Cannabis<br>
Sativa was 20.125kg, Cocaine, 0.081kg, Heroin, 0.008kg<br>
and five abandoned seizures of Psychotropic substances<br>
weighing 0.55kg. Others are one card of tramadol and<br>
63.5 litres of Combine (mixture of cannabis and alcohol).<br>
She said that the command had counseled 41 drug<br>
peddlers in the state.<br>
“The command delivered lectures against drug misuse and<br>
trafficking in illicit drugs in 48 schools and organisations as<br>
well as counseled 41 drug peddlers in the state,’’ she said.<br>
The commander said out of the 92 persons arrested, eight<br>
had been convicted for dealing in socially-prohibited drugs<br>
between the periods.<br>
She expressed worry that some of the convicted persons<br>
had served various terms in prison for similar offences.<br>
Obi explained further that some dealers found it difficult<br>
to stop the illegal business even after serving their terms<br>
due to it’s lucrative nature.<br>
According to her, the situations where most of the drug<br>
peddlers find it difficult to stop the illegal business have<br>
become a serious challenge to the agency.<br>
She, however, attributed the huge successes recorded in<br>
the raids and destruction of drug joints leading to massive<br>
arrests of both dealers and users to the increased trained<br>
manpower in the command.<br>
Obi reassured that the command would not relent in its<br>
efforts in the drug war to ensure the society was rid of the<br>
“heinous crime.’’<br>
She further said that the command had devised means to<br>
counsel drug peddlers and prevent them from going into<br>
crime through the abuse of drugs; which involved<br>
continuous enlightenment and sensitisation programme<br>
across the state, especially in schools to let them<br>
understand the dangers inherent in illegal drug trafficking<br>
and abuse.<br>
She explained that the enlightenment became important<br>
because most people fell victims or were lured because of<br>
ignorance.<br>
Obi said that, as part of the campaign, the command<br>
visited schools to show them the cannabis plant for easy<br>
identification.</p>

Commission’s Indictement Of SSS, Army<p>Human rights lawyer,<br>
Mr. Bamidele Aturu, has hailed the National Human Rights<br>
Commission for its report on public hearing which indicted<br>
the Nigerian Army and the State Security Service in the<br>
killing of eight innocent Nigerians in Apo District, Abuja.<br>
In a statement issued on Sunday, Aturu said that the<br>
ability of a government institution like the NHRC to criticise<br>
and indict other government agencies such as the army<br>
and the SSS was commendable.<br>
The commission said that the security agencies’ joint<br>
operation in an uncompleted building in the Apo district of<br>
Abuja on September 20, 2013, did not respect the victims’<br>
right to live as they were killed extra-judicially, contrary to<br>
the claim by the army and SSS that they were shot and<br>
killed in self-defence.<br>
He said, “I salute the courage of all the members of the<br>
Governing Council of the Commission, its Executive<br>
Secretary and other staff for giving us something to cheer<br>
under this administration.<br>
“Honestly, one is pleased that we can see a government<br>
agency speak truth to government. We can only hope that<br>
they will move their searchlight into other dark alleys of<br>
government human rights practice in Nigeria”.<br>
The NHRC had indicted the government agencies and also<br>
awarded N135m in favour of the families of the deceased<br>
and the survivors.<br>
Aturu said the decision of the NHRC was bold, well-<br>
reasoned and fair, adding that what the commission did<br>
used to be unthinkable.<br>
“The commission has shown by its bold, well-reasoned and<br>
fair decision that what we need in Nigeria is a combination<br>
of independent institutions and independent but patriotic<br>
and competent persons to run the institutions”, he stated.<br>
The Lagos lawyer also warned government against taking<br>
any action against the commission or members of its<br>
governing council because of the report.<br>
“One is also cautiously enthused that Nigerian political<br>
authorities did not dismiss the decision as the handiwork<br>
of the opposition. If the silence from them is as a result of<br>
a sober realization that security agencies went overboard<br>
in the irresponsible way they falsely labelled the deceased<br>
as Boko Haram and wickedly cut off their lives, then we<br>
can only encourage them to continue in that path of<br>
honour.<br>
“However, if they were just too dazed that a government<br>
agency had the liver to criticize and embarrass them and<br>
are then waiting for the right time to strike, then it would<br>
mean they do not know the immeasurable good that the<br>
decision of the Commission has done for the government.<br>
Serious governments need responsible Commissions to<br>
whip overzealous security agents into line from time to<br>
time”.</p>

hour in the capital Abuja, with toll expected to rise.<br>
A blast at a bus depot on the outskirts of the Nigerian<br>
capital Abuja has killed dozens of people during the morning<br>
rush hour .<br>
The blast , around 7 am at the Nyanya Motor Park , destroyed<br>
more than 30 vehicles and caused secondary explosions as<br>
their fuel tanks exploded and burned.<br>
Reporters saw rescue workers and police gathering body<br>
parts.<br>
"We have been able to bring some of the dead to the<br>
morgue and some injured have been taken to the hospital ,"<br>
said Charles Otegbade, head of search and rescue at the<br>
National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) .<br>
He said his team had not yet been able to provide precise<br>
figures on casualties .<br>
A Reuters camerman reported seeing 20 bodies at the depot<br>
at Nyanyan bridge, around 8 km south of Abuja, and two<br>
witnesses said another 15 had already been removed by the<br>
emergency services.<br>
"I was waiting to get on a bus when I heard a deafening<br>
explosion then smoke . People were running around in<br>
panic ," said Mimi Daniels, who works in Abuja. Another blast<br>
followed , she said , according to Reuters news agency.<br>
There was no immediate claim of responsibility but<br>
suspicion is likely to fall on armed group Boko Haram . The<br>
group has been involved in increasing levels of violence in<br>
the northeast .<br>
Suspected Boko Haram members killed at least 60 people in<br>
an attack on a village in northeast Nigeria late last week.<br>
Eight people were killed in a separate attack at a teacher<br>
training college, witnesses said .</p>

Actress, Eniola Badmus has opined that African men are “too harsh” – she stated this in a quick chat with Yes Magazine.While speaking on ‘violence against women’, the single Actress said, “African men are too harsh! They are too harsh. African men are harsh and violent. An English man would never beat his wife because their law forbids it. Then, I must say that if there is a penalty for it, stating that whoever beats his wife would be jailed, I’m sure this will reduce.
“But since there is no law and no one is preaching against it, everybody feels it is a normal thing. Even if we say there is a law, it is not being implemented as it should, because if it had, all these won’t happen. I think there should be a capital punishment for it because, to me, it is a terrible act.” she concluded.

So she must be jealous. If I am laughing with a particular girl too much or I am going the way that I am not supposed to go, or if one girl is following me too much, she will be there to caution me. She definitely has to be protective of her man. At that point, she can tell such a girl, ‘hold your side!’ And if it is I that is doing it, she could tell me, ‘cool down, I dey here o.’
He said this while granting an interview to the Nation’s newspaper, where he bared his mind on life as a married man, the alleged scandals that have trailed his career for years and his relationship with his babies’ mothers.
Addressing the recent rumor where he allegedly impregnated a banker, he said “of course it is not true. Initially, nobody said whether it was true or not. So what I did was to correct whatever impression from my twitter page. But the story still went on.
It is a serious matter because now I am married. So it is unfair for anyone to put out such story about me, perhaps because they want to sell their medium or sell their blog. It is really totally unfair to me, especially now that I am married. If I wasn’t married, we would have laughed over the matter. But now, I am. So I do not expect that people will play over such issues of emotion at this time of my life.
On how he’s been coping with fame “It feels good, but it is a lot of challenges, a lot of non-privacy. So many things are being flung your way, temptations, and if you are not careful, you get swept off by the evil tide. There are so many hazards in being famous and if you can’t control yourself, you get carried away within a short time. It is not all smooth- sailing. I can tell you that it is not all glamour.
For instance, I enter into an event, a place and I walk straight to go and find a seat for myself to sit. But before I know it, some people will take it personal.
Meanwhile, if someone else does it, it is seen as normal and accepted. So when I enter a place, I have to move around first and greet people. That is why you see me say ‘I hail o’ each time I enter a place. But you know, it is not all the time that you are in a good mood to be so friendly. But because you are famous, whether you are in a good mood or not, you have to put on a smile and greet people. Else, if you do not do that as a celebrity, such things will make you to easily make enemies. You actually make enemies without even realizing it. That is the crazy part of being a celebrity and a famous person.”
Speaking on the joy of his marriage, he said “So far so good, married life is cool. We don dey do wetin married people dey do. We don dey sidon together, we go laugh, we go quarrel small (laughs), we go come hold each other again as if no be us quarrel some moments ago. Life has been kind to us since we got married. We have been living happily ever after.
We try to live our lives our own way. We have never had cause to introduce a third party in our home. When we have a problem, we sort it out between ourselves. We don’t call anybody in to come and solve our problems for us. We sit down and talk about it. Like I said earlier, sometimes, we quarrel when both of us are stubborn over a matter. But we do not involve a third party!”
Re-affirming why he chose Annie and left the other baby mamas, he said,“I have been fortunate enough to have met a couple of nice ladies in life and two of them even have children for me. But I think that Annie and I understand each other more. As with matters of the heart, it is very difficult sometimes to find the right words to explain it. Somehow, you just know that this is the particular person that you want to stay with.

On how he relates with his children and their mother “If you see me and my children together, you will think we are mates. That is how I relate with them. I relate well with their mums too. We are good. We are peaceful, everybody is mature. We have a cordial relationship. One love always…”

“This is Davido’s first movie appearance, I, as the producer, have been able to work out things in such a manner that it would be beneficial to us all.

“It is a rumor. The story has no substance. I’m even about going to sue UK daily mail for the defamation of character. I’m discussing with my legal team. They didn’t hear from me.

The Commissioner of Police in the state, Johnson Ogunshakin stated this while parading the suspects in Port Harcourt.
Ogunshakin maintained his stance that the Police under his Command would leave no stone unturned in its resolve to combat all sorts of crime in the state.
Ogunshakin said also police strategies against oil bunkerers in the state were beginning to yield positive results.
“Since my assumption of office, I have intimated you of my strong resolve to fight saboteurs of our nation’s economic growth. You and I know that the Federal Government of Nigeria is leaving no stone unturned in its fight against crude oil theft and vandalization of oil pipelines.
“Our strategies against bunkerers in many parts of the state are beginning to yield positive results and we will constantly re-assess our operational strategies in tune with the sophistication of the oil thieves”, he said.
He said 3 suspects were recently arrested around the Eleme-Akpajo area where they were trying to steal crude oil, adding that the suspects were now under police detention and would be made to face the law.

“Upon the information, the Commissioner of Police’s monitoring team was immediately drafted to the scene of the oil bunkering and the perpetrators were caught in the act.

remain in power – Tsav tells Jonathan<p>Elder statesman and a former Lagos State Police<br>
Commissioner, Abubakar Tsav, has advised President<br>
Goodluck Jonathan not to over-stretch his “good luck” by<br>
remaining in power beyond 2015.<br>
Tsav, who spoke with newsmen in Makurdi, the Benue<br>
State capital on Sunday noted that the nation would<br>
continue to retrogress as long as greed and corruption<br>
remain in control, adding that 2015 would determine<br>
whether Nigeria will still remain as one indivisible<br>
country or not.<br>
While he attributed this to the intention of Jonathan to<br>
contest the 2015 presidential election, he urged the<br>
president to burry his ambition in the interest of the<br>
nation.<br>
He said, “President Jonathan’s followers are saying there<br>
would be war if he does not win in 2015. He should save<br>
us that trouble by relinquishing his ambition in the<br>
interest of the old and young people in this country.”<br>
Tsav reminded Jonathan of how God made him to rise<br>
from the position of deputy governor to president, even<br>
as he urged him not to run for second term in office.<br>
Adding his voice to the ongoing debate over the<br>
inconclusive Anambra governorship election, Tsav<br>
described the Attahiru Jega-led INEC as a shame to the<br>
nation.<br>
The former police boss asserted that the Independent<br>
National Electoral Commission, INEC, was not capable of<br>
conducting credible elections in the country.<br>
According to him, judging from the Anambra election,<br>
the hope of conducting free, fair and credible elections<br>
in the country has been dashed.</p>
