The end of Buhari’s presidential candidacy By Femi Aribisala

Buhari

IF Nigeria is a nation of laws and of the rule of law, the presidential candidacy of Muhammadu Buhari should end this week. The reason is well-known to all. Buhari swore an oath on his INEC application that his credentials are with the military. This turned out to be a lie.
The military has come out to deny that it has Buhari’s credentials. That means Buhari committed perjury instead of fulfilling INEC requirements. For this reason, he must be disqualified from contesting the presidential election.
The matter has been taken to court and the courts should decide the matter this week. I am not a lawyer, but from my layman’s perspective, this is an open and shut case. Buhari lied willfully. As a former military secretary of the Nigerian Army, he knew that the military does not keep any credentials of its service-men. Nevertheless, he lied on oath that his credentials are with the military. He must face the penalty for this perjury. There can be debate about whether, and for how long, he should go to jail. However, there can be no question about his resultant ineligibility to contest: he must be disqualified.

Bola Tinubu releases statement on 2015 elections postponement

The APC Chieftain said the elections was postponed because GEJ feared he was going to lose. Find the statement below...

What happened Saturday was actually not a postponement due to security or logistical reasons. What happened was the by-product of overt political interference undermining the independence of the election management body, INEC. The elections were postponed not because they could safely be held. They were postponed because one man, President Jonathan, feared that an election held on February 14 would for him become an election lost. While the mouth was Jega, the words were Jonathan. He chose to place our democracy at risk than do what democracy demands by facing and risking the verdict of the people. That he would use our security agencies to provide his excuse only adds insult to injury.

Presidential Polls: States that may determine the winner

LESS than a month and few days to the presidential election, a number of states are emerging as votes swinging blocs that will shape the outcome of the polls.
BY CHARLES KUMOLU
WITH just two weeks to the 2015 presidential election, there is no doubt that votes in states with high density registered voters, would most likely determine who wins the contest.
Unlike other states, Lagos, Kano, Rivers, Kaduna, Katsina, Niger, Plateau, Delta, Benue and Bauchi are expected to be prioritised by the campaign organisations of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and All Progressives Congress, APC.
An in depth analysis of the emerging electoral map, showed that these states have 30, 015, 291 registered voters, representing nearly 43 percent of the total number of registered voters across the country which the Independent Electoral Commission, INEC pegged at 70,383,427.
In the 2011 presidential elections, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari, retd, who was the candidate of the defunct Congress of Progressive Change, CPC, won in five of these states – Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Bauchi, and Niger

Adding two turnaround veterans to the $70 billion chemical giant’s board may make stockholders think twice about voting in a rival slate from the billionaire activist’s Trian Fund Management. DuPont says Peltz nixed an offer to add one of his picks because he wanted the spot. He may just have been outplayed.

Kick-off: 7pm

Ivory Coast face what is likely to be their sternest test of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations when they tackle Ghana today in what many pundits deem the dream final.

With Africa’s highest ranked team Algeria falling by the wayside (losing to both finalists in the process), and defending champions Nigeria as well as record seven-time winners Egypt both failing to qualify for the competetion, two of the continent`s most consistent teams will clash for African football`s biggest prize.

Both African football powerhouses are in dire need of a continental trophy after long, frustrating waits. Ghana have won the Cup of Nations four times but their last conquest was 33 years ago, while the Ivorians only triumph was in 1992 and, ironically, it was at the expense of Ghana.
Ivory Coast beat their West African neighbours 11-10 on penalties after 120 minutes of action did not produce any goals in Dakar.
