Presidency May Subsitute JEGA For Mimiko To Conduct General Election
President Jonathan and his closest associates it was gathered have been desperate to postpone the elections to enable them re-strategize in the face of imminent pointers that Mr. Jonathan and his party, the PDP were on the verge of losing the election to the opposition APC Presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari with a wide margin should the election proceed as planned under Jega who had reportedly repeatedly turned down several invitations to go and see President Jonathan at Aso Rock.
Polls: My dilemma on Jonathan, Buhari – Okogie
From 1994 to 2000, Okogie headed the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria and was the President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN. He was proclaimed a Cardinal by Pope John Paul II on October 21, 2003. He was one of the cardinal electors in the 2005 papal conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI and in the 2013 papal conclave which elected Pope Francis.

After the postponement announcement, PDP was quick to applaud the decision while APC fumed. Millions of Nigerians sneered, even as people around the world took the news of postponement as a shock too difficult to believe. But close watchers of Nigeria’s political trend believe the success of this first move is critical to the next move to ensure Buhari is not allowed to contest the election.
Sources confirmed that it was not the security issue that was the problem in driving the election postponement agenda, it was Buhari that PDP leaders do not want. They also feared Jega is too independent and difficult to rally into the PDP scheme that will ensure that Jonathan succeeds in the plot and so he must also go.

The United States is deeply disappointed by the decision to postpone Nigeria’s presidential election, which had been scheduled for February 14.
Political interference with the Independent National Electoral Commission is unacceptable, and it is critical that the government not use security concerns as a pretext for impeding the democratic process. The international community will be watching closely as the Nigerian government prepares for elections on the newly scheduled dates. The United States underscores the importance of ensuring that there are no further delays.

WE NEVER TOOK N5BN BRIBE FROM JONATHAN —OHANAEZE
Addressing a press conference in Enugu, on Friday, the President- General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Enwo Igariwey, said the allegation that they took bribe from the presidency was baseless.
Igariwey noted that the interest of Ndigbo would be more protected if President Jonathan was re-elected, adding that it was only Jonathan that would implement the report of the national conference that supported, among other things, the creation of nine states in each of the six geo-political zones in the country.
He added that it was Jonathan that would address the issue of imbalance in the political structure in the country.

“I’m not here to campaign because you know very well that Daddy G.O. will not allow his altar to be used for campaign.
“I am here to thank you for your prayers for this country. Everyone passes through challenges. The whole world is passing through the challenge of extremism. Unfortunately, we are having our share of the challenge.

12 YEARS AFTER, SLOK AIR FIGHTS BACK; SUES FG OVER REVOCATION OF LICENCE
Almost 11 years after the revocation of its operating licence, the management of Slok Air Nigeria Limited has dragged the Federal Government to court, demanding over N20 billion as damage for the illegal revocation.
The Chief Olusegun Obasanjo-led Federal Government had announced the revocation of Slok Air operating licence on March 12, 2004, just a year after the airline was licenced, without any tangible reason for the action.
Slok Air, which promised to feel the vacuum created by the non-existence of a national carrier for the country, was being promoted by the former Governor of Abia State, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu.
The grounding of the promising airline was described as political, as it was largely attributed to the stern criticism coming from the ex-governor against the then leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
