Gov Fashola lied against me on the altar of politics –Agbaje, Lagos PDP governorship candidate

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, in this interview with ashiwaju.org, speaks about his candidature and his plans for the state if elected governor
How prepared are you for the election?
You cannot be 100 per cent prepared, but we are definitely prepared. You can see there are lots of activities going on; we are very busy and everybody is occupied. We’re not afraid. We know what we have to do before the day of election and we believe once those things are done properly, victory will be ours definitely.
People say it would be difficult for you to win the election as Lagos is seen as a stronghold of the APC. Do you think you have a chance?
They have been in office for about 16 years, so, to that extent, we never thought it would be a tea party. We are very clear that it is going to be a tough race but we believe that at the end of the day, we’re going to win. We have looked at what is happening and got the opinions of people and we are clear that people are more on our side than on their side. All things being equal, if we have a free and fair election, we will lead them.

Jega’s removal: More confusion as FG remains non-commital

The Federal Government of Nigeria on Friday further compounded fears in some quarters that the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, could be sacked before the general elections.
In an answer to enquiries on government’s stand on allegation that the INEC boss would soon be asked to proceed on a terminal leave, the Federal Government through the Minister of Culture, Tourism and National Orientation, Chief Edem Duke, gave a rather ambiguous answer.
He said the exit of Jega from the chairmanship of the INEC would take a natural course. Duke, who is also the supervising Mtinister of Information, spoke with journalists at the headquarters of the Ministry of Information in Abuja on Friday.
While answering a question on whether the Federal Government planned to send Jaga on terminal leave before the expiration of his tenure in June, Duke said Jega would not be sacked as President Goodluck Jonathan had pledged, but added that his exit from the electoral body would be a natural sequence.

Can Delta State Be the Dubai of Nigeria?

                By Tolu Abodurin

The greatest gift of a nation is not what lies underneath its soil, but the talent and creativity of its people. One state that has a large number of talented and creative people is Delta State; with the right leadership, the state will become the cynosure of Nigeria. For the 16 years of People Democratic Party (PDP) rule in the state, the state has become an economic wasteland.

We have witnessed blundering of our collective wealth, laundering of money and unchecked corruption on an epic scale. Truth is this pathetic narrative is not exclusive to Delta State, it resonates throughout the entire landscape of Nigeria. In the 2015 election, providence offers us an opportunity to take our collective destiny into our hands and salvage what is left of our broken and battered state. The APC offers us a clean break in the arduous task of redeeming our nation. In most of the AP- led states, we see a sense of development non-existent in their counterpart, the PDP.
