Buhari Never Said He Wouldn't Hand Over To Tinubu - Garba Shehu

 The Presidency Friday said President Muhammadu Buhari never said he would not hand over to the President –Elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in a statement, condemned those he called “fake news brigade” for attributing a false quote to President Buhari and circulating it.
He denounced it as “outrageous and fake”, explaining that the Transition Committee, made up of representatives of the outgoing administration and the incoming one was meeting on an almost daily basis planning the handover to the Tinubu/Shettima administration.

He added that the Daura community had equally begun their preparations to receive their son back after the successful administration of the country for two terms of eight years.

“How can you vigorously campaign for somebody, vote for him and then say you won’t hand over to him? This beggars belief.
“The situation is pretty pathetic since their ownership is politically partisan in today’s politics, in fact a loser in the presidential election.

Instead of talking about issues, they repeatedly sell lies in the hope that people believe them as truth.

“The government is already in transition phase. The Transition Committee, made up of representatives of the outgoing administration and the incoming one is meeting on an almost daily basis planning the handover to the Tinubu/Shettima administration.
Thirteen committees as offshoots of the main committee, some, to arrange military drills and pulling out of President Buhari, are either all at work or soon to be. So far, everything is going very well and there is no indication of any hitches.

“As for the President, the Daura community has begun their preparations to receive their son back after the successful administration of the country for two terms of eight years.
He, for his part, is eager to return home to enjoy his retirement.”

Cristiano Ronaldo Becomes The Most-capped Men's International Player In History

 The greatest footballer of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the most capped footballer in international history with his 197th appearance for Portugal. Another incredible record by goat 🐐 -

Cristano Rolando put his nightmare World Cup behind him with a brace on his first appearance for Portugal as they cruised past Liechtenstein in their Euro 2024 qualifying opener with a 4-0 win.

The former Manchester United star - who thought he had got a touch on the opener before it was given to Joao Cancelo - netted a third from the penalty spot after Bernardo Silva had fired in the second, before smashing in a trademark free kick to make this a routine opening win in qualifying.

New boss Roberto Martinez started Ronaldo from the off having been benched by former manager Fernando Santos, and he did not disappoint his boss as he delivered the goods to get Portugal up and running.

Go To Court Is A Metaphor That Symbolises Impunity - Kola Ologbondiyan

 Go to Court’ is a metaphor that symbolizes impunity. It represents the reprehensible notion of ‘nothing dey happen’ or ‘na we dey there’.

It means stealing the King’s trumpet and blowing it in the market square and the King can do but nothing.

2/ The Nigerian judiciary has a duty to itself. It should use the presidential election petition to demonstrate that you can ‘Come to Court’ and find justice.

Nasarawa Women Go Nude While Protesting Governorship Election Result

 Viral videos shared online captured women protesting nude in Nasarawa State following the March 18 governorship election, IGBERETV reports.

Some of the women wore black while protesting. Others stripped completely naked and bitterly expressed their displeasure in front of the camera. 

The reason for their protest was that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) went ahead to announce a winner of the governorship election when there was contention in the results that emanated from Gayam and Ciroma electoral wards in the state capital. 

INEC had declared Governor Abdullahi Sule, the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The State Returning Officer for the governorship election, Professor Tanko Ishaya, declared that Governor Sule of the APC polled 347,209 votes, to beat his closest rival, David Ombugadu of the PDP, who had 283,016 votes. 

The women said they did not vote for Governor Sule and they accused him of rigging himself to power and forcing himself on them. 

They chanted songs as they marched with placards that had inscriptions like, "Stop the conspiracy against our people," "INEC should reverse the declaration now," and "Our Vote must count. Ombugadu won."

Polls: Anti-tinubu Protesters Ground Abuja, Demand Interim Govt, Fresh Polls

 

.Want US to revoke visas of 15 RECs Fresh protests on Thursday rocked the nation’s capital, Abuja over the just concluded elections, with protesters kicking against the May 29 inauguration of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and instead demanding the invocation of an Interim National Government ING. Asking Presidential Muhammadu Buhari to put the ING in place before he leaves office on May 29, the angry Nigerians who protested under the aegis of the National Youth League for the Defence of Democracy NYLDD also demanded the immediate sack and arrest of the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu by the State Security Services SSS. Armed with various placards with different inscriptions, they also asked several foreign embassies in Nigeria to immediately revoke the visas of 15 INEC Resident Electoral Commissioners RECs. The RECs they want to be sanctioned are those of Lagos, Rivers, Borno, Zamfara, Niger, Jigawa, Kano and Imo. Others are Ebonyi, Ekiti, Ogun, Oyo, Cross River, Katsina and Edo States. Addressing journalists at the Unity Fountain where the protest started, one of the leaders of the group, Dr Moses Paul, said the interim government is expected to appoint a new INEC chairman and conduct a fresh election that will produce a befitting President for Nigeria. He said; “We are citizens of Nigeria, lovers of Nigeria, standing on the path of our constitution and citizens’ rights. We are here particularly to address the greatest crime that has happened in the history of the world and in Nigeria. People were burnt in Kano, people were shot in Rivers, and we have seen the greatest inhumanity happen in Lagos state in the course of this election. “Two demands we are making; we are asking the President of this country to immediately arrest and prosecute the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, who has committed the greatest fraud in the history of humanity. We need him arrested and prosecuted. “Our number two demand is that we are asking that an interim government be put in place. We are saying that, because we do not want President Muhammadu Buhari to continue, his tenure is ending, so as a father he should put in place an interim government so that the interim government will now appoint another INEC chairman who will conduct a free and credible election and produce a befitting President for our country.” When asked to provide other options if the two demands were not met, one of the co-conveners, Anngu Orngu, said they are harmless Nigerians “but we will use every other civil and lawful means to make sure that our demands are met”. “We are here as frustrated Nigerians and the fundamental rights of Nigerians have been trampled upon by Mahmood Yakubu-led INEC and we are here calling for his immediate resignation. We have also requested that DSS should arrest him, and he should be prosecuted by the EFCC. “We are calling on DSS to arrest Mahmood immediately, the EFCC should investigate him and we are also calling on the Nigerian Judiciary because those concerned are already in court, particularly the presidential election of February 25, we are calling on the judges in Nigeria that we want justice to prevail. “We have been to the US Embassy, we have been to the British Council in Nigeria, and we have also submitted a letter to the French Embassy, calling on them to advise the Nigerian government that the Nigerian people are not happy. We the young people of this country are not happy over what is happening in our country. We may be peaceful now but when you push even a goat to the wall, the goat may bite,” he added. In one of the letters made available to journalists and addressed to the United States Embassy, the protesters called for sanctions against the INEC Chairman. The letter reads in part; “The conduct of the elections is in substantial none compliance with the extant legal framework. “These criminal actions of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu have led to the dampening of the revived spirit of youths who in anticipation of a country that works for all, turned out in their large numbers to vote, some for the first time in their lives, for their preferred candidates only to be greeted with violence and subversion of their collective will. “Based on the foregoing, we pray your good offices to amongst other appropriate sanctions, withdraw the visas of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, all the Resident Electoral Commissioners of states where these infractions were prevalent, particularly the RECs of Lagos, Rivers, Borno, Zamfara, Niger, Jigawa, Kano, Imo, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Ogun, Oyo, parts of Cross River, parts of Katsina and Edo States.”
