DELTA 2015: There Will Be War If I Lose- Great Ogboru

DELTA 2015: The Battle On Who Wins.

The gubernatorial candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Delta State, in the February election, Chief Great Ogboru, has threatened that Delta State will boil if he loses next month election.

He said this at a mega rally held on Thursday in Ughelli, recalling that in the past, Deltans had lived with rigged elections but that this time,they are prepared to take their destiny in their hands and not hand it over to another person again.

According to him, "we know that God's time is the best. This is the time set by God."
chanting a local song, “If Ogboru no win, yawa go dey, if Ogboru no win, yawa go dey,” meaning there will be trouble if Ogboru does not win.

Ogboru added that Delta state has been turned into a ‘jankara state’ where government can no longer provide basic amenities for the people. He promised to raise the standard of governance in the state such that the timid people without vision would no longer find the chance to govern the state again.

On his vision for Delta State, Ogboru said, “We shall start by restoring your dignity and you will no longer be the thrashing floor. “You will be able to look at them eyeball to eyeball. All Deltans will become winners and will enjoy good schools, good hospitals, better pay. Our roads will be safe again. Our streets and homes will be safe again; criminality of any shape will not be tolerated.”

Ogboru had contested against the incumbent governor several times and had lost. Is he sure to cling on power this time or meet his waterloo as before?

he said and burst into a local song, “If Ogboru no win, yawa go dey, if Ogboru no win, yawa go dey,” meaning there will be trouble if Ogboru does not win. Ogboru added that Delta state has been turned into a ‘jankara state’ where government can no longer provide basic amenities for the people.

APC Plans To Boycott TV Debate

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: APC Shuns TV Debate

APC Presidential candidate

The Campaign Organisation of the All Progressives Congress, APC Presidential candidate, Mohammadu Buhari, made a declaration on Thursday, 29th January, 2015 in a press release of its plan to boycott the Presidential debate.

According to Buhari's Media Campaign Director, Garba Shehu, the organizers of the said debate were wearing the toga of government control, especially being composed mainly of agencies and allies of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

He also said that Buhari will exempt himself from such debates being organised by broadcast stations that have denigrated and maligned his person and that of his family.

The organizers of the debates are the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON), Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) and the Africa Independent Television (AIT)

Shehu said “The avalanche of inflammatory statements, misinformation and blatant lies being propagated by some of these media against our Party and candidates, contrary to the Kofi Annan brokered Abuja Peace Accord, and the failure of these aggressors to desist and apologise, have left the APC Campaign with no option than to steer clear of any premeditated smear campaign that could be inimical to our prospective electoral success.”

However, the party said that General Buhari had been preparing for debates and would be willing to participate when the organisations involved are considered to be neutral.

The media is expected to respond appropriately and be non partisan in the discharge of its duties.

MULTIMEDIA INTERACTIVE BOARDS REPLACE CHALKBOARDS IN LAGOS.

Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola, made this known that his government would be partnering with Cambridge-Hitachi with a view to upgrading the educational sector of the state.

Fashola said, “All tertiary institutions and secondary schools, totalling about 10,000 in Lagos State, will have the multimedia interactive solutions in each of their classrooms to replace the traditional chalkboards which will allow for world-class teaching and learning.”

Multimedia interactive board.

According to the Director, Local Organising Committee, Cambridge-Hitachi Virtual Teaching and Learning, Ms Adebukola Oluderu, a team of delegates from the state would meet with the Cambridge-Hitachi team at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom to sign the Memorandum of Understanding for the commencement of the centre.

“The multimedia solution is vital and important to teaching and learning as it is the hub in which the gains of the Cambridge-Hitachi International Virtual Teaching and Learning Centre will be transferred and transmitted to all schools,” she added.

The Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye, said the approval given to Lagos State to host the centre was based on outstanding performances, availability of infrastructure, and the determination of the state government to improve the quality of teaching and learning in the educational sector.

Will private schools in the state adopt the same educational policy for improved teaching and learning process?

Lungu Emerges Winner In Zambia's Presidential Election.

Zambia’s Defence Minister Wins Presidential Election.

Edgar Lungu in a rally.

Zambia's presidential election has been won by Defence Minister Edgar Lungu of the governing Patriotic Front. He won by a 48.3% majority, according to the election commission.

His rival, Hakainde Hichilema of the United Party for National Development, who earlier denounced Tuesday's election as a sham, came close with 46.7% of the vote.

The election was called following the death of President Michael Sata on 28th October, 2014 (aged 77) in London, United Kingdom, although, Guy Scott, a white Zambian of Scottish descent, ruled in the interim, having been the Vice president of the country. He was prohibited from contesting the election because his parents were not born in Zambia.

Edgar Lungu

Lungu, a lawyer by profession has held two portfolios in the past government as Justice and Defence Minister, and after contesting the Presidential election on 20^th January, 2015, he emerged winner.

He becomes the sixth democratically elected president of Zambia and will serve the remainder of late Sata's term until elections in 2016.

Will he have the “heart of all” and embrace friends and foes so as to ensure rapid development in the country? Time will tell.
