APC: Jonathan’ll Be Seeking 3rd Term if He Contests in 2015

The Interim National Chairman of the newly-registered All Progressives Congress, Chief Bisi Akande, saturday cautioned President Goodluck Jonathan on his 2015 ambition, claiming the president is seeking a ‘third term’ in office.Fielding questions from journalists on the state of the nation in his Ila-Orangun country home, Osun State, Akande also accused President Jonathan of treating some serious national issues with levity.The APC chairman, who is a former governor of Osun State, said: “I do not see President Jonathan as a serious-minded person. Nigeria's problem today is Jonathan. I had written him twice when I was in office as National Chairman of ACN on issues bordering on the nation and till date he has not acknowledged the letters.“He takes national issues with levity. All he is concerned about is his ‘third term’ ambition. He has reduced the totality of Nigeria to kindergarten governance. Jonathan today is the most powerful President in the world. He has all the powers arrogated to him and he’s still asking for more”.The 1999 Constitution, as amended, states that any Nigerian that has not been elected to the office of President two times previously, among other qualifications, is eligible to contest for the presidency.President Jonathan has been elected only once.However, the constitution guarantees two terms of four years each for president and governor. If the president contests and wins in 2015 and spends another four years in office he may be spending a total of nine years in office altogether because he spent one year completing the tenure of the late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua from 2010 to 2011.This is as against two terms of four years each envisaged under the constitution. Whether there is an issue with that may be a matter for INEC and the court to decide.The APC chairman also likened President Jonathan’s style of governance to that of former President Olusegun Obasanjo when he was in office, alleging that Obasanjo kept harassing anybody that stood on his way with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the Indepndent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission and security agencies.Akande claimed the current crisis rocking Rivers State was a result of President Jonathan’s ambition to contest the 2015 poll. He said the APC would build a solid political structure and win power in 2015 to enhance the socio-economic and political development of the nation.On the quality of the candidate that will carry the APC presidential flag in the 2015 election, Akande said, “We want a thinking leadership in this country, and not a kindergarten leader like President Jonathan.”The APC chairman, however, refuted media reports that the opposition party was not keen on the 2015 presidential election, saying some newspapers misquoted him.

Why do you want to kill yourself?

Imagine this. You come home from school one day. You’ve had yet another horrible day. You’re just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you’ve written and rewritten over and over and over You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down, holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time. A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell  you  dinners ready. You don’t answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you’re asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd. She grabs the paper in your hand and reads it. Sobbing, she tries to wake you up. She’s screaming your name. Your brother, so confused, runs to go tell Dad that “Mommy is crying and sissy won’t wake up....

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo There are strong indications that efforts by the Peoples Democratic Party to make former President Olusegun Obasanjo to have a rethink  on his decision to stay away from the party’s activities  have failed.  Investigations on Thursday showed that Obasanjo insisted when the new PDP National Chairman, Adamu Mu’azu visited him on January 26, that Jonathan  must  honour his alleged promise in 2011 not to contest the 2015 presidential election. A very reliable  PDP national officer  confided in  The PUNCH that  Obasanjo also  gave  other conditions that the new leadership of the party must meet before he would have a change of mind.  They include the restructuring of the party as well as   the correction of the  anomalies relating to the removal of Olagunsoye Oyinlola as the national secretary of the PDP  and Bode Mustapha  as  national auditor in early...

Many Nigerians have since reacted in different ways to the private session which they had in the Wii hours of the night in the Big Brother Double Wahala house. Famous music producer, Don Jazzy also joined the bandwagon as he recently mocked the lovers for their special moment in the house. In a recent post, the talented producer was seen dancing in the toilet and singing “watabambam” He later justified his action, stating that he wasn’t judging the couple but just fooling around.
