2019: TETFUND former executive secretary warns police against partisanship during polls

- Professor Suleiman Bogoro has tasked security agencies to avoid partisanship in the 2019 general elections

- Bogoro, a former executive secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund, gave this warning when he was giving opinion on the 2019 general elections

- He also urged the security agencies to be driven by the interest of the nation in order to prevent post-election crisis

Professor Suleiman Bogoro, a former executive secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND), has tasked security agencies to avoid partisanship in the 2019 general elections.

Bogoro gave the task on Monday, January 7, in Jos during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).

Legit.ng gathers that he also called on the various security agencies, particularly to be deployed on elections duty, to be neutral in the discharge of their duties.

Bagoro, who noted that “we all have a role to play in the forthcoming elections“ said security agencies had a central role to play by ensuring that they were not associated with any form of partisanship.

He also urged them to be driven by the interest of the nation, adding that violence was less likely to occur “if the candidates and electorate don’t perceive any form of compromise."

The professor said: “The Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies should do their job and shun associating with anything that suggests they are doing anything to favour a person or persons seeking elections.

“I believe that at the end of the day, if this is done, it will bring about credibility and contribute to a better election environment in the 2019 general elections.”

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
