Dasuki, according to Reuters, said he had told the INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, that a postponement within the three months allowed by the law, would be a good idea.

Wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Thursday said nobody or group could threaten her if she decided to visit any part of the country. Mrs. Jonathan, who spoke with one of our correspondents through her media assistant, Ayo Adewuyi, was reacting to statements by some youth groups threatening to disgrace her if she attends the grand rally of the Peoples Democratic Party in Yenagoa on February 5.

I Have No Personal Disagreement With Jonathan – Fashola

Amid intense politicking in the country that has put political gladiators at arm’s length, Lagos State Governor Mr Babatunde Fashola yesterday debunked insinuation in some quarters that he is at loggerhead with President Goodluck Jonathan. Addressing the mammoth crowd of All Progressives Congress (APC) party faithful at a Campaign Rally held in Ajeromi-Ifelodun local government area of the state, Fashola said, “I have no personal disagreement with Jonathan.” Fashola said the only problem he has with the president is that he has failed to fulfill lots of promises made to the residents of Lagos prior to the 2011 elections. According to him, “I have no personal disagreement with Jonathan. But I am a citizen of this great nation. And if any political office seeker comes to make promises in public and the people voted for him, based on the promises he made, both the office seeker and the citizens have signed a social contract which must be fulfilled by both parties. The people of Lagos have done their part but the president has not.” He added that he has fulfilled his side of the contract he signed with residents of Lagos, saying, “I have fulfilled my side of the contract which I signed with you in 2007 and 2011 elections.” According to him, rather than fulfill his
