Our plan for supplementary election

Our plan for supplementary election - APC

- The APC said it was looking forward the supplementary election in Plateau state

- The party expressed confidence that it will win the election

- The state election was declared inconclusive by INEC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Plateaus state has vowed to take the state governorship supplementary election seriously.

The APC candidate is reportedly leading with 44,929 votes margin but the election was declared inconclusive because of the high number of cancelled votes.

Daily Trust reports that Barrister Festus Fuanter who is the deputy director, media and publicity committee of the APC campaign organization said the party towards the coming supplementary election.

He said, “the victory of APC so far is not a surprise to us because Governor Simon Lalong has in the past four years performed to the admiration of many. Apart from regular and prompt payment of salaries, he is the first governor in the history of Plateau State to give abandoned projects from his predecessors a priority and completed them within four years.”

Fuander said the party accepted INEC’s decision in the “interest of transparency of the process and the need to give the final decision the legitimacy it require”.

Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it is committed to conducting free, fair and credible governorship supplementary poll on March 23 in Kano state.

The INEC Resident Electoral Commission in the state, Prof. Riskuwa Arab-Shehu, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, March 13, in Kano.

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...
