Ali Baba In Trouble Over His Demand From President Jonathan
Alibaba's appeal to President Goodluck Jonathan to help rid the entertainment industry of pirates backfired as some entertainers did not take likely to his demand.
At an interactive session with the President recently, entertainers from the music and movie industries especially gathered to show their support for the President's second term bid.
The session featured several live performances from singers including Waje, Oritsefemi, Sir Victor Uwaifo and many others.
However, Alibaba was more interested in issues plaguing the industry, piracy being the top item on the list.
During a question and answer session, Alibaba asked the President to help rid the entertainment market of pirates, rather than continue to give financial support as he had done throughout his first term in office.
"How are we going to deal with pirates so that we can put our products in the market and make money from it; Because if you give us $5 billion to bring a product out in the market, as soon as it is in the market, if a pirate gets one it's over."
The comedian told Entertainment News on Channels TV that some of his colleagues had asked "crappy questions that did not add value", which indicated that they were concerned about getting money from the government.
However, some entertainers did not appreciate his question about piracy and had accused him of asking a question by the opposition, APC.
Alibaba has debunked this claim and has said he would ask President-elect Muhammadu Buhari the same question, if given the opportunity.
"It is not about money. It is about the enabling structure and platform for our businesses to thrive," he said.

Human Rights Commission Says Akiolu's Comment Is "Toxic Nonsense"
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
The chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) in Nigeria, Professor Chidi Odinkalu, says the comment by the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, seen as a threat to Igbos living in Lagos State, is "a toxic nonsense".
The Oba of Lagos had on Sunday advised the leaders of Igbo people in Lagos State to support the governorship candidate of his choice, Akinwunmi Ambode, or "perish in the water".
The comment has triggered mixed reactions, with several condemnations. It has been described as a threat on the Igbos in Lagos.
Professor Odinkalu said he was disappointed by the Oba's comment, stressing that the Oba should be more interested in binding the nation together and not dividing it.
"Sometimes it is good to allow people to expose themselves in their full and natural majesty.
"I cannot say I am not disappointed because that will not be honest.
"The current occupant of the stool of Lagos State is a former assistant Inspector General of Police, a very senior lawyer and a senior citizen.
"Election times are difficult times and we expect our traditional rulers to show good example.
"To explode this kind of toxic nonsense in the middle of a difficult election disappoints and he must take responsibility for what he has said," Professor Odinkalu stressed.
He further pointed out that traditional leaders are not expected to be seen as surrogates to any political party.
The NHRC boss further stressed that the peace of Nigeria should a thing of concern to the Oba of Lagos and to all Nigerians.
After the comment by the Oba of Lagos went viral on social media, the royal palace tried to address the issue in a statement, explaining the context in which he made the statements.
The Oba of Lagos also restated his commitment to ensuring the peaceful coexistence of all Lagos residents irrespective of tribe, religion or political persuasion.

Buhari Begs Igbo Folks In Lagos To Forgive Akiolu And Move On
The President-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), has urged the Ndigbo and other non-indigenes in Lagos State to forgive all that has been said against them and move on for the sake of peace.
Buhari said this during a rally in Lagos to address the comments made by the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu.
Akiolu has been under fire since Monday when he reportedly threatened the Ndigbo in Lagos to either vote for the All Progressives Congress governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, or perish in the lagoon.
The Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday asked Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola to suspend Akiolu forthwith.
However, the President-elect described Lagos as home for all, adding that the time had come for Nigerians to look past ethnicity in the general interest of peace and unity.
He said, "I admire what your governor has done in terms of mobilising revenue to sustain Lagos development. I have a lot of respect for Governor Fashola for his hard work, commitment to the state and the country. There is no doubt that Lagos is a mini-Nigeria. We are all here and it has been mentioned by previous speakers that everybody (tribe) is adequately represented in Lagos.
"So, I assure you. If you vote for the continuity of APC in Lagos, you stand to gain more. It is in your interest that you vote for the APC.
"Please when you go home tell your neighbours, relatives and even the opposition to please bury the hatchet. Let them fall in line and vote the APC.
"When we were coming in our bus, Fashola told me how Lagos State had been spending to maintain the federal infrastructure here such as buildings, roads and other institutions. I had promised before that if I won the election and became the President, I would make Lagos my priority. Governor Fashola is already holding to me to that promise so I would like the incoming governor to listen carefully and make sure he makes me honour my undertaking."
The National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said Lagos was responsible for building the opposition and ensuring that it finally took control of the centre.
He said it would be a great injustice for Lagos to become an opposition state after working so hard to build a bright future.

Tinubu Speaks Against Oba Akiolu's 'Vote Ambode Or Perish' Statement
The All Progressives Congress, APC, has reacted to the offensive threat allegedly issued by the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, to Igbos living in Lagos, by stressing that the monarch is not an APC member and cannot speak on behalf of the party. This was disclosed by the APC national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
Tinubu, who was speaking at a rally in Iganmu, Lagos on Tuesday, while reacting to the controversial comments of the monarch, explained that he was the first Yoruba governor to ever appoint an Igbo commissioner, alleging that the Peoples Democratic Party, having lost the presidential elections were desperately trying to pull the APC into the Akiolu controversy.
He said the Coordinator of the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, Ifeanyi Ubah, and the PDP leader, Bode George, were only making baseless accusations against the ruling party in Lagos.
According to the former Lagos governor, "The Oba is not a politician. His job is to accommodate all political parties, whether PDP, APC or SDP. So, what did he (Ubah) go and do at the palace?
"To you Igbos, don't we pay your children's school fees like others? Or is it the palace that pays for it? When we conducted an exam and a spelling competition, an Igbo boy, Ebuka, from Anambra, came first and he became the governor for one day.
"Those that won the competition three times in a row were Igbo. Ebuka was sent to Switzerland computer school and then Obafemi Awolowo University. We did not say he was an Igbo boy and he would not enjoy. He became an executive in Oando and he is now in Canada.
"Another boy, Felix, won and went to Switzerland and OAU. We paid his scholarship; we did not deny him because he is Igbo," Tinubu said.

Reports Says VP Sambo To Head Transition Commitee
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
President Goodluck Jonathan may name Vice-President Namadi Sambo as the head of the transition committee he will set up to ensure a smooth handover of power to the President-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
According to The PUNCH, it was learnt from a top government official on Tuesday that the composition of the committee might be made public this week.
Although he did not name other members of the proposed committee, the official disclosed that no serving minister would be included.
He explained that the reason why ministers would be exempted was because many of them would appear before the committee.
Shedding light on the committee, the official, who asked not to be named, said when constituted, it would have four terms of reference.
"The President will constitute the committee this week. Vice-President Sambo may head the team since the Vice President-elect, Yemi Osinbajo, is said to be heading the incoming government's team," he said.

The issue of smooth transition between Jonathan and Buhari was said to have dominated the discussion they had inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Friday.
That was the first time the two leaders would be meeting since the Independent National Electoral Commission declared Buhari winner of the March 28 presidential election.
The meeting which was described as "private" was held at the new Banquet Hall inside the President's office.
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, John Odiegie-Oyegun, was said to have accompanied Buhari to the meeting that lasted about 30 minutes.
A former Head of State, who is also the Chairman of the National Peace Committee for the 2015 General Elections, Gen. Abdusalami Abubakar (rtd.), was said to have joined them at the meeting.
An unconfirmed report said a similar meeting might hold between the two leaders soon.

President Jonathan's Reaction To Oba Akiolu's Hate Speech
Jonathan Warns Against Negative Triumphalism
President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed concerns over what he called attempts by some politicians, groups and individuals to intimidate others and cause public disorder in Nigeria.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his spokesman, Dr. Reuben Abati, President Jonathan condemned comments that could heat up the polity and cause disaffection in the aftermath of the Presidential and National Assembly elections.
President Jonathan is especially concerned about the negative triumphalism that has been put on display by certain elements since March 31 which flies in the face of his personal commitment to post-election peace, unity and national stability.
The President further called on all those, "who through their actions and utterances, have been promoting divisiveness, sectionalism and ethnic hatred in the country, following the outcome of the March 28 elections to cease and desist from actions that detract from the true spirit and culture of democracy envisioned by patriotic men and women of goodwill in Nigeria".
Time For The Healing
He also condemned the undue harassment of public officials serving under his administration and urged all affected persons to continue to perform their lawful duties without fear.
"This should be a time for the healing of political wounds in the overriding interest of national unity, stability and progress, not a time for ethnic jingoism and the settling of scores.
"The Federal Government will not condone any attempt to instigate a crisis in any part of the country in furtherance of personal political ambitions," the President warned.
President Jonathan assured all Nigerians that his administration would remain fully committed to national progress and the entrenchment of the best values of democracy for the good of all Nigerians.
Perish In The Water
He urged all Nigerians to go out en-masse again on April 11 to vote for candidates of their choice in the Governorship and State Assembly elections with the confidence that his administration would do all within its powers to ensure that they do so in peace, without threats, intimidation or violence from any quarters.
President Jonathan's statement is coming two days after the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu, in a speech asked Igbos in Lagos State to vote for the governorship candidate he supports, Akinwunmi Ambode, or "perish in the water".
The comments, described as a threat to the Igbos, have drawn diverse reactions.
The APC has condemned the statement, saying the "Oba of Lagos' does not speak for the APC".

How Jega defeated Jonathan for Buhari in the election
Add BBN on 2BAFB965
Femi Aribisala
If you did not see my column last week, it was because I did not want to rain on anyone's parade. I wanted the euphoria over the bullet we missed by avoiding the riots that would have ensued had the APC been defeated to subside. But I am now back to tell you that the presidential election was a big INEC rigmarole. Long before Jonathan lost the election to Buhari, he had been defeated by the machinations of Jega and INEC.
As a matter of fact, General Buhari did not win this presidential election: President Jonathan lost it. The president lost because he allowed himself to be defeated. Maybe he did not want to remain in power badly enough. Or maybe there was a side of him that felt there is honour in being the first incumbent president to lose an election in Nigeria. Whatever the case; he failed to heed the warning of many that, like Aminu Tambuwal and Lamido Sanusi, Attahiru Jega was working for the enemy.
Failure of Tinubu
With the coalition of Bola Tinubu's ACN and Buhari's CPC, many concluded that the outcome of the 2015 presidential election would be determined in the South-West. The assumption was that Tinubu would provide the killer-punch that had been missing in Buhari's earlier failed attempts. However, this has proved to be mistaken. Tinubu failed to clean up the South-West with his broom for the APC. Indeed, in order for the APC to prevail in Lagos with only 160,000 votes, INEC had to ensure that many non-indigenes could not get their PVCs.
The truth of the matter is that, quite apart from the shenanigan of having a Redeemed Yoruba pastor as Buhari's vice-presidential running-mate, the people of the South-West don't like Buhari. In the 2011 election, they said this emphatically by giving him a paltry 321,000 votes out of the 4.7 million cast in the geopolitical zone. This time, in 2015, Buhari received 2.4 million South-West votes, with a plurality of 600,000 over Jonathan. However, most of those votes were actually not for Buhari: they were against Jonathan.
In the end, the South-West vote was neither pivotal to Buhari's victory nor central to Jonathan's defeat. Tinubu's assistance for Buhari ended at the APC presidential primaries where he got Buhari nominated against the wishes of Northern delegates. All Tinubu did at the level of the presidential election was to give a façade of national spread to Buhari's essentially Northern victory. This factor will soon come to haunt Tinubu and his South-West cohorts when it is time to share the spoils of victory in the Buhari administration.
Should APC lose the Lagos governorship election, Tinubu would be left in a quandary. All the Northern timber and caliber who were missing in action throughout the campaign when Tinubu, Fashola and other Southern politicians were running helter-skelter with Buhari, will soon come out of the woodwork to claim their Buhari inheritance. Inevitably, they will overshadow the Southern brigade. Vice-President Osinbajo will simply be sent to fetch water when crucial decisions are to be made by Northern "born-to-rule" elements.
Southerners without coattails
In order to defeat the PDP, APC needed to undermine Jonathan in his areas of greatest strengths – the South-South and the South-East. However, APC men like Amaechi, Okorocha and Oshiomhole proved to be paper-tigers in these areas. In Rivers, Amaechi was disgraced. With all his bluster, he could only deliver 69,000 votes to Buhari; while Jonathan made off with a whopping 1.45 million. No wonder, therefore, that the governor tried to save face by saying there was no election in Rivers. He even rented a crowd to go on a perfunctory demonstration.
Chinem Bestman sent me a text message from Port Harcourt with the same complaint that the election was rigged. I answered by asking him if there has ever been a free and fair election in Rivers since 1999. Amaechi knew the ropes, therefore when he came for accreditation, he asked to see the election result sheet. He knew the traditional rigmarole in Rivers was to doctor the report sheet. Now that he has been out-rigged, he is singing a different tune; asking Rivers people to forgive him.
In Imo, Okorocha was humiliated. He could only deliver 19% of the vote to Buhari. It looks like the governor is going to need another job very soon as he is unlikely to be re-elected. In Edo, Oshiomhole did much better. APC lost with 208,000 votes to PDP's 286,000. Nevertheless, Oshiomhole tried to explain this away by complaining that PDP used the military to manipulate the election. However, when INEC announced the results, APC won the senatorial election in Edo North; one of the places where the governor claimed PDP used the military to rig.
Assault on the South-East
Godsday Orubebe grabbed the microphone during the collation of the election results and alleged to the whole world that INEC chairman Attahiru Jega is partial and tribalistic. His outburst may have been embarrassing, but it is not entirely without justification. The evidence of INEC's partiality is compelling. Although President Jonathan put a call to Orubebe to stop his protest, and he has decided to accept the verdict of INEC, that does not mean we should sweep INEC's shenanigans under the carpet.
It is easy to fob off Orubebe by saying he was only being emotional because he is a PDP man from Niger Delta, a kinsman of Mr. President who "lost" the election. That just won't cut it. I am not a Niger Deltan. I don't belong in the PDP. I don't know Goodluck Jonathan and I have never ever met him or spoken to him. Cynical Nigerians believe anyone who supports Jonathan must either be in his pay or be looking for a job. Neither allegation is applicable to me. Jonathan ostensibly received 12.8 million votes; surely all these people were neither in his pay nor Aso Rock job-seekers.
My faith requires me to support the weak. Therefore, I will always support the minority against the tyranny of the majority. We cannot be reliant on South-South oil in Nigeria and then treat one of their sons as if he is an impostor for being president of the country. The fact of the matter is that this presidential election was the result of a vicious and malicious gang-up of the majority ethnic groups against the minorities.
Since the civil war, the Igbos of the South-East have been treated as if they are a minority ethnic group in Nigeria when in fact they are one of the majorities. In order to diminish Jonathan's votes, a major assault was made against them; recognising that they are some of the staunchest Jonathan supporters. In 2011, the Igbo gave Goodluck Jonathan a decisive 5 million votes. The task of INEC in 2015 was to ensure that did not recur.
INEC rigmarole
Buhari prevailed as a result of a deliberate disenfranchisement of the Igbo by INEC through the manipulation of PVC distribution and the failure of the card reader in the South-East and the South-South. INEC ensured that, far more disproportionately and relative to other geopolitical zones, millions of South-East voters disappeared between 2011 and 2015, in order to provide a smooth passage for a Northern presidential candidate; which turned out to be Buhari.
The first strategy of INEC in this regard was to create 29,000 additional polling units, allocating 21,000 of these to the North and only 8,000 to the South. In this crass manipulation, INEC gave more additional polling units to Abuja than it gave to the entire South-East. However, widespread outcry over this proposal forced INEC to jettison it despite protracted resistance by Jega.
But INEC had a plan B: the registration of voters and the collection of PVCs. This was bogus and lopsided; skewed most especially against the South-East where only 7.6 million were registered and 5.6 million PVCs collected. Compare this with the war-torn North-East: 9.1 million were registered and 7.4 million collected. But the most outrageous were the figures of the North-West. 17.6 million registrations and 15.1 million collections were recorded in the North-West; much more than the figures in the entire South-East and South-South combined.
On Election Day, news of a bomb blast in Enugu served to discourage people from coming out to vote in the South-East. In addition, there was widespread late voter accreditation and voting in the South-East as well as the South-South. One reason for this was the massive failure of the card-readers in these zones, highly suggestive that they were programmed to fail there.
Quite incredibly, the card-reader failed to recognise even the president. It took President Jonathan 35 minutes to get accredited; but within five hours, we are meant to believe that 2.5 million voters in Kano were duly accredited. In the middle of the election, INEC changed from card-reader to manual accreditation. This suddenly brought into play the huge voter registrations in the North-West. Cell-phone video recordings showed many of the North-West's bloated PVC holders to be under-aged children.
Abracadabra
The total effect of these machinations is that over 2.4 million South-East voters were successfully disenfranchised. 38 million people nationwide voted for Buhari and Jonathan in 2011. In 2015, this figure shrank to 28 million. The votes of the South-West remained virtually constant. 4.6 million people of the South-West voted in 2011: 4.2 million in 2015. But compare this with what happened in the South-East. 5 million people voted in 2011, only 2.6 million in 2015. That is a drastic drop of 2.4 million.
While Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Jigawa and Bauchi were posting their traditional humongous figures; Imo, Anambra and Abia were posting relatively disappointing figures. Jigawa used to be a part of Kano, when Kano was said to be bigger than Lagos. In the 2015 election, the votes of Jigawa and Kano combined was double that of Lagos. Lagos had 1.4 million votes. Jigawa and Kano had 3.1 million; virtually all for Buhari.
While the internally displaced Northerners in the North-East could vote, internally displaced Igbos from the North could not. In places like Lagos and Kano, many non-indigenes were not even given their PVCs. In effect, the innovation of the Permanent Voters Cards is designed to permanently disenfranchise the South. If this is not redressed immediately, the North will always determine the winner in Nigerian elections.
As a matter of fact, General Buhari did not win this presidential election: President Jonathan lost it. The president lost because he allowed himself to be defeated. Maybe he did not want to remain in power badly enough. Or maybe there was a side of him that felt there is honour in being the first incumbent president to lose an election in Nigeria.

In the 2011 election, they said this emphatically by giving him a paltry 321,000 votes out of the 4.7 million cast in the geopolitical zone. This time, in 2015, Buhari received 2.4 million South-West votes, with a plurality of 600,000 over Jonathan. However, most of those votes were actually not for Buhari: they were against Jonathan.
In the end, the South-West vote was neither pivotal to Buhari's victory nor central to Jonathan's defeat. Tinubu's assistance for Buhari ended at the APC presidential primaries where he got Buhari nominated against the wishes of Northern delegates. All Tinubu did at the level of the presidential election was to give a façade of national spread to Buhari's essentially Northern victory. This factor will soon come to haunt Tinubu and his South-West cohorts when it is time to share the spoils of victory in the Buhari administration.
Should APC lose the Lagos governorship election, Tinubu would be left in a quandary. All the Northern timber and caliber who were missing in action throughout the campaign when Tinubu, Fashola and other Southern politicians were running helter-skelter with Buhari, will soon come out of the woodwork to claim their Buhari inheritance. Inevitably, they will overshadow the Southern brigade. Vice-President Osinbajo will simply be sent to fetch water when crucial decisions are to be made by Northern "born-to-rule" elements.
Southerners without coattails
In order to defeat the PDP, APC needed to undermine Jonathan in his areas of greatest strengths – the South-South and the South-East. However, APC men like Amaechi, Okorocha and Oshiomhole proved to be paper-tigers in these areas. In Rivers, Amaechi was disgraced. With all his bluster, he could only deliver 69,000 votes to Buhari; while Jonathan made off with a whopping 1.45 million. No wonder, therefore, that the governor tried to save face by saying there was no election in Rivers. He even rented a crowd to go on a perfunctory demonstration.
Chinem Bestman sent me a text message from Port Harcourt with the same complaint that the election was rigged. I answered by asking him if there has ever been a free and fair election in Rivers since 1999. Amaechi knew the ropes, therefore when he came for accreditation, he asked to see the election result sheet. He knew the traditional rigmarole in Rivers was to doctor the report sheet. Now that he has been out-rigged, he is singing a different tune; asking Rivers people to forgive him.
In Imo, Okorocha was humiliated. He could only deliver 19% of the vote to Buhari. It looks like the governor is going to need another job very soon as he is unlikely to be re-elected. In Edo, Oshiomhole did much better. APC lost with 208,000 votes to PDP's 286,000. Nevertheless, Oshiomhole tried to explain this away by complaining that PDP used the military to manipulate the election. However, when INEC announced the results, APC won the senatorial election in Edo North; one of the places where the governor claimed PDP used the military to rig.
Assault on the South-East
Godsday Orubebe grabbed the microphone during the collation of the election results and alleged to the whole world that INEC chairman Attahiru Jega is partial and tribalistic. His outburst may have been embarrassing, but it is not entirely without justification. The evidence of INEC's partiality is compelling. Although President Jonathan put a call to Orubebe to stop his protest, and he has decided to accept the verdict of INEC, that does not mean we should sweep INEC's shenanigans under the carpet.
It is easy to fob off Orubebe by saying he was only being emotional because he is a PDP man from Niger Delta, a kinsman of Mr. President who "lost" the election. That just won't cut it. I am not a Niger Deltan. I don't belong in the PDP. I don't know Goodluck Jonathan and I have never ever met him or spoken to him. Cynical Nigerians believe anyone who supports Jonathan must either be in his pay or be looking for a job. Neither allegation is applicable to me. Jonathan ostensibly received 12.8 million votes; surely all these people were neither in his pay nor Aso Rock job-seekers.
My faith requires me to support the weak. Therefore, I will always support the minority against the tyranny of the majority. We cannot be reliant on South-South oil in Nigeria and then treat one of their sons as if he is an impostor for being president of the country. The fact of the matter is that this presidential election was the result of a vicious and malicious gang-up of the majority ethnic groups against the minorities.
Since the civil war, the Igbos of the South-East have been treated as if they are a minority ethnic group in Nigeria when in fact they are one of the majorities. In order to diminish Jonathan's votes, a major assault was made against them; recognising that they are some of the staunchest Jonathan supporters. In 2011, the Igbo gave Goodluck Jonathan a decisive 5 million votes. The task of INEC in 2015 was to ensure that did not recur.
INEC rigmarole
Buhari prevailed as a result of a deliberate disenfranchisement of the Igbo by INEC through the manipulation of PVC distribution and the failure of the card reader in the South-East and the South-South. INEC ensured that, far more disproportionately and relative to other geopolitical zones, millions of South-East voters disappeared between 2011 and 2015, in order to provide a smooth passage for a Northern presidential candidate; which turned out to be Buhari.
The first strategy of INEC in this regard was to create 29,000 additional polling units, allocating 21,000 of these to the North and only 8,000 to the South. In this crass manipulation, INEC gave more additional polling units to Abuja than it gave to the entire South-East. However, widespread outcry over this proposal forced INEC to jettison it despite protracted resistance by Jega.
But INEC had a plan B: the registration of voters and the collection of PVCs. This was bogus and lopsided; skewed most especially against the South-East where only 7.6 million were registered and 5.6 million PVCs collected. Compare this with the war-torn North-East: 9.1 million were registered and 7.4 million collected. But the most outrageous were the figures of the North-West. 17.6 million registrations and 15.1 million collections were recorded in the North-West; much more than the figures in the entire South-East and South-South combined.
On Election Day, news of a bomb blast in Enugu served to discourage people from coming out to vote in the South-East. In addition, there was widespread late voter accreditation and voting in the South-East as well as the South-South. One reason for this was the massive failure of the card-readers in these zones, highly suggestive that they were programmed to fail there.
Quite incredibly, the card-reader failed to recognise even the president. It took President Jonathan 35 minutes to get accredited; but within five hours, we are meant to believe that 2.5 million voters in Kano were duly accredited. In the middle of the election, INEC changed from card-reader to manual accreditation. This suddenly brought into play the huge voter registrations in the North-West. Cell-phone video recordings showed many of the North-West's bloated PVC holders to be under-aged children.
Abracadabra
The total effect of these machinations is that over 2.4 million South-East voters were successfully disenfranchised. 38 million people nationwide voted for Buhari and Jonathan in 2011. In 2015, this figure shrank to 28 million. The votes of the South-West remained virtually constant. 4.6 million people of the South-West voted in 2011: 4.2 million in 2015. But compare this with what happened in the South-East. 5 million people voted in 2011, only 2.6 million in 2015. That is a drastic drop of 2.4 million.
While Kano, Katsina, Kaduna, Jigawa and Bauchi were posting their traditional humongous figures; Imo, Anambra and Abia were posting relatively disappointing figures. Jigawa used to be a part of Kano, when Kano was said to be bigger than Lagos. In the 2015 election, the votes of Jigawa and Kano combined was double that of Lagos. Lagos had 1.4 million votes. Jigawa and Kano had 3.1 million; virtually all for Buhari.
While the internally displaced Northerners in the North-East could vote, internally displaced Igbos from the North could not. In places like Lagos and Kano, many non-indigenes were not even given their PVCs. In effect, the innovation of the Permanent Voters Cards is designed to permanently disenfranchise the South. If this is not redressed immediately, the North will always determine the winner in Nigerian elections.

Buhari’s win is Tinubu’s loss, but Lagos cannot be the bonus

In every contest between two contenders there must be a winner and ultimately a loser. The actions of the winner in victory are as important as those of the loser which is why as the plaudits come in for General Muhammadu Buhari, they are also rolling in for President Goodluck Jonathan who quickly conceded victory to his opponent and may have by that act averted any violent reaction from his supporters.
Buhari's words since being declared winner have shown that he indeed intends to tackle the issue of corruption for which many kicked against the incumbent government in a whirlwind of change that threw out the ruling party for the first time in this democratic dispensation. Buhari has said that all appointees under his government must declare their assets publicly and restrict their income only to what is approved and allocated by the Revenue Mobilisation and Financial Commission. This is clearly a setback for those who have invested so much in the change project that brought Buhari into power. The other may be a certain governor from the Niger-Delta but surely, the former Governor of Lagos State Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu will not find such an idea funny.
Kudos must be given to Bola Tinubu for being the strategic brain behind the opposition alliance that brought Buhari into power. It was indeed a marriage of strange bedfellows as the progressive Action Congress of Nigeria found itself in a merger with Congress for Progressive Change which despite its appellation was a core ideologically conservative but populist party. Tinubu donated heavily in the initial days to get APC on its feet before other sitting governors defected from the PDP and joined in the task of building and financing the APC.
Many have said that Bola Tinubu was wealthy before he came into government – pointing out that he, and not just the Alfred Rewanes of yesteryears, was the financier of the major anti-Abacha opposition, NADECO. No matter: Bola Tinubu surely became wealthier after eight years in power as the Governor of Lagos State. The topic of Tinubu's corruption is the stuff of legend: he is accused (nothing ever substantiated) of owning everything from newspapers to airlines. Chief among the accusations though is that Tinubu's political empire is synonymous to his financial empire and both operate in an interwoven manner: money sustains his political hold and when politics brings power, he makes more gain to sustain himself.
With the keys of the Central Bank set to be locked in Buhari's pocket as he promises to run a corruption-free government, Bola Tinubu's eyes are firmly set on holding on to the onestronghold where his dominance cannot be challenged. Simply put, Tinubu wants none of the Buhari change in Lagos. His former chief of staff and head of the legal arm of the Tinubu Empire Babatunde Raji Fashola became the Governor of Lagos State in 2007 and quickly conferred on his principal and benefactor the unconstitutional but ceremonial and unofficial title of 'Governor Emeritus'. Fashola typically deferred to Bola Tinubu on all government issues and much as he rolled out anti-people policies but never offended his benefactor, Fashola was fine. Until both men fell out briefly just before the 2011 reelection bid of the latter. Tinubu allegedly instigated the Lagos State House of Assembly to raise allegation against the governor. When the godfather was appeased, the matter died down and the godson got a second term.
If Raji Fashola was the head of the legal arm of Tinubu's empire, Akinwunmi Ambode appears to be the head of finance. A trained accountant in his own right, Ambode is the personification of the Bola Tinubu desires to perpetuate himself further in power in a place where no corruption drive by Buhari can touch him.
Such a situation clearly negates the kind of change we want. What we have in Lagos State is a status quo that is unpalatable for the people. What we have is an APC alliance that has consistently milked the state dry and deprived it of much needed development in rural parts.
The issues in this election are clear: the rising debt profile of Lagos State: NGN435bn incurred in just five years, the shady toll collection on the Lekki-Epe Expressway even though the concession has been bought back by the Lagos State Government, the continued use of Alpha Beta Consulting to help with tax collection although the LIRS and Ministry of Finance have enough personnel employed for just this reason and most importantly: the lopsided development of Lagos which has put areas like Alimosho which is the largest local government area in the state behind in terms of infrastructure.
A vote for Akinwunmi Ambode is a meek surrender of Lagos State to Bola Tinubu, a resounding chorus of "do with us what you want" which he will take advantage of. No one can deny that Lagos has moved forward in the past few years but the amount spent to achieve this is equivalent to the amount used to build the great city of Dubai into what it is today.
Lagos clearly is no Dubai just yet in spite of the amount spent by the present face of the political cabal.
The arguments being made presently that Lagos should align with the centre is very clearly a self-serving one which was never made in the 16 years while PDP was at the centre. The argument also that Lagos is being owed debts that may not be paid except APC runs both the FG and LASG is also faulty: debts are an obligation to be repaid not because of relationship but as a matter of justice and fairness which the APC government never tires of letting us hear it will be at the centre.
The suggestion that Lagos may suffer if it is not in alignment with the APC-FG shows that either APC has kept Lagosians in suffering by being in the opposition for 16 years or it is an indication that the Buhari led FG under APC intends to make opposition PDP states suffer. The suggestion that an APC led FG will not do the right thing simply because a state is governed by an opposition party reveals a worrying mindset that seems not to have grasped the concept of Unity, Equity and Justice and this begs the question: what is and where is the 'Change'? APC can only claim fidelity to its 'Change' mantra if it jettisons any politics of state exclusion on the basis of opposition politics, if that had ever existed before. Fully appreciating the enormity of Lagos as a former capital of Nigeria and the commercial nerve centre of Lagos, the APC government must show full support for Lagos State now that it is at the centre and regardless of who is in power at the state level.
The choice before Lagosians is clear: either a Jimi Kolawole Agbaje who has proven so far to be an independent mind and who speaks for himself or an Akinwunmi Ambode who is spoken for by everyone from Joe Igbokwe to Gov. Raji Fashola.
Jimi Agbaje's antecedents as a technocrat who is comfortable in the midst o technocrats is known to all. His activities as a frontline campaigner for democracy has found him in the camp of the Alliance for Democracy in the past, led him to run on a self-built platform in 2007 and now in the PDP which provides a clearly established structure that can guarantee electoral victory for him in a matter of days. Having run the APC so closely in the presidential elections, PDP leaders across all levels are fully charged up to mobilise and deliver for Jimi Agbaje. APC is jittery and further claims that Lagos will become the cash-cow of the PDP – conveniently forgetting that in the Southwest alone, there are two other states including the oil-rich Ondo State that are firmly in the control of PDP. Such talk again betrays the truth of what many have always suspected: that Lagos was the cash cow of APC.
If Lagos were only a cash cow to further deepen democracy though, it would be okay. But Lagos has become a cash cow to finance the whims of one man who has brought out, not the brilliant lawyers Supo Shasore and Muiz Banire or the quick-thinking Dr. Kadiri Hamzat but an Ambode whose voluntary retirement from public service at the age of 49 not having reached the age of retirement (60 years) or spent 35 years in service makes many to question the circumstances surrounding his exit for public service and his personal integrity. Tinubu may not reap all he has invested in Buhari's government if the mantra of anti-corruption is to be believed. But Buhari would not challenge him in his Lagos stronghold if APC wins yet again. Lagosians must take their own destinies in their hands on April 11th and ensure that Lagos is not made the bonus for everything Tinubu has investedand may not recoup at the federal level.
