2019: You Can Not Tell Us How To Conduct Elections – INEC Fires Back At PDP Over Appointment Of Amina Zakari

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday, warned the People's Democratic party (PDP) to desist from trying to teach it its job.
According to the electoral body, PDP can not dictate to it how it will conduct the 2019 general elections or who to appoint to any position.
Rotimi Oyekanmi, Chief Press Secretary (CPS), to the INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, specifically warned the PDP to desist from personal attacks on one of its National Commissioners, Mrs Amina Zakari.
INEC was reacting to PDP’s statement on the appointment of Mrs. Zakari, who is said to be related to President Buhari as head the collation centre for 2019 election which shall be responsible for the national collation centre,the International Conference Centre, from where results of the presidential election will be announced.

The party has kicked against her appointment, tagging it a ploy to rig the elections in favour of Buhari.

But Oyekanmi said in a chat with the Independent:

“What is this crazy phobia about Amina Zakari? Why is one political party paranoid about this woman? There are 12 National Commissioners in INEC, why are they singling her out always? We are not going to allow one political party to dictate to us how to manage our affairs.
If they have any problem with Amina Zakari, they should let us know. She was appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan under the PDP government. She was not appointed under the present dispensation. Throughout the time she was there under Jega, this same PDP did not see anything wrong with her. Every national commissioner is entitled to having a renewed term and her term was renewed.
“This woman has a family, children and yet people are just attacking her for nothing. What did she do? Would they be happy if anybody is doing this to their wives?

“The way INEC is structured, not even the INEC chairman can rig the election in favour of any political party or any candidate in this country today.

“He is incapable of doing so because the system will not allow it. So, if the INEC Chairman cannot rig, where is the national commissioner that wants to rig?”

Muslims call for boycott of Marks and Spencer toilet paper because they can see the "Allah" symbol on it

Muslims are calling for people to stop buying Marks and Spencer toilet paper because they can see the 'Arabic word for God on it.' A man recorded a video where he can be heard urging Muslim 'brothers and sisters' not to buy the toilet tissue which has a symbol he says looks like the Allah symbol. He said in the video: Recently I bought toilet tissue from Marks & Spencer and when I opened one of them, it has the name of Allah, as you can see. So please brothers and sisters, prevent yourselves from buying this particular toilet tissue, or try boycott Marks & Spencers, because every toilet tissue has the name of Allah on it. Thank you very much, please share this video. Muslims quickly began commenting on the video while calling out M&S. One person said: ‘Shame on M&S. I never expected M&S to go so low morally. I support a full Boycott of M&S.’ Another said: "#boycottmarksandspencer!" As the video went viral...

President Buhari's ADC Profile: Mohammed Lawal, ML Abubakar Biography & Life History

Behind every successful man, they say, is a woman. Behind every successful president, we can say, is his aide-de-camp (ADC). Mohammed Abubakar, an army colonel, is the man behind President Muhammadu Buhari. One of those men whose words we don’t hear, but who emits golden silence. Abubakar was born on March 28, 1973, in Zaria, Kaduna state, to inter-ethnic parents from Edo and Kano states. HEAD BOY LIKE BUHARI Abubakar attended Nigerian Military School (NMS) Zaria from 1985–1990. Perhaps, as part of the workings of fate, Abubakar served as the head boy known as “Boy Regimental Sergeant Major” of his set, a position manned by Buhari decades back. ‘INTELLIGENT TO THE HIGHEST ORDER’ After his appointment as ADC in 2015, Nigerians took to social media to congratulate him. Some recognised him as their camp commandant during their National Youths Service Corps (NYSC). Bashir Ahmad, a Facebook user, who identified him as his camp commandant in 2006 in Kogi, describe...

Theresa May to Resign as UK PM June 7: “I have done everything I can”

Britain’s Prime Minister Theresa May has said she’ll step down from her position and as U.K. Conservative Party leader on June 7. She said this on Friday at a press conference in front of 10 Downing Street. May said she’s resigning after she’s tried, three times, to make Brexit a reality. “Ever since I first stepped through the door behind me as prime minister I have striven to make the United Kingdom a country that works not just for the privileged few but for everyone, and to honor the result of the referendum,” May said. She added: “I have done everything I can to convince MPs to back this deal. Sadly, I have not been able — I tried three times.” “I believe it was right to persevere….it is now clear to me that it is in the best interest of the country for a new PM to lead that effort,” May said. May held back tears throughout the speech and was visibly tearful as she concluded her speech.
