Former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar and his Peoples Democratic Party had eggs on their faces Friday as the
theory of an INEC server, the pillar of their cases against President Muhammadu
Buhari collapsed like a house built with sand.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There was no INEC server. There
was no result published on INEC server. Atiku had been scammed big time and it
will go into the records as the scam of the century.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
That was the loud and clear
message at the Presidential Election Tribunal as Atiku closed his case and the
court adjourned till 29 July for the defence to open its case.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
There is certainly no need for
the defence to open any case. There is nothing to defend as Atiku and the PDP
had failed convincingly to prove the existence of any other result apart from
the one declared by INEC on 27 February, with Buhari beating Atiku by about
four million votes. Buhari got 15.1 million votes, Atiku got 11.2million votes.<o:p></o:p></div>

Former Abia state Governor Senate
Chief Whip, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu, on Thursday revealed how the late South African
leader, Nelson Mandela, put pressure on former Nigeria President, Olusegun
Obasanjo, to drop his third-term presidential agenda.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Kalu made the revelation while
giving a speech on ‘The Mandela I Know’, at the 10th commemoration of Nelson
Mandela Day organised by the South African High Commission in Nigeria at the
University of Abuja.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking, Kalu said Mandela
played a crucial role in ensuring Obasanjo abandoned the idea of amending the
Constitution, to enable him contest for a third term in office.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
In his words, he said, “I recall
my personal interactions with him (Mandela), especially during our national
struggle to force President Olusegun Obasanjo to drop his plan to amend the
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and secure an extension of his
tenure.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br>
The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu,  has described late Mrs Olufunke Olakunrin, the daughter of Chairman of Pan Yoruba socio-political group, Afenifere, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, as someone who gave her best to the humanity and worthy of emulation.<br>
<br>
The former Governor of Lagos State said this at the commendation service and a night of tribute held in her honour at Harbour Point, Victoria Island, Lagos, urging Nigerians to emulate her virtues<br>
<br>
Olakunrin was killed by gunmen in a kidnap attempt, between Kajola and Ore along Ondo-Ore Road last week, when she was travelling to Lagos.<br>
<br>
Tinubu in his tribute said the attackers of the deceased were wrong thinking they killed Funke Olakunrin, adding that ‘her spirit continues to reside with us and make us better’.<br>

<br>
Barely 72 hours after President Muhammadu Buhari asked Fulani herdsmen in the South to ignore the call by northern elders asking them to return to the North, the Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, the umbrella body for Fulani herdsmen in the country, has asked its members to defend themselves against any ethnic militia group in the country, saying herders should exercise their rights to free movement as Nigerians.<br>
<br>
The National Secretary of the group, Saleh Alhassan, in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents on Thursday, also said that governors in the southern part of the country would be held responsible if any of their members was attacked.<br>
<br>
The South-East Governors Forum, through its Director-General, Prof Simon Ortuanya, had recently warned that movement of cattle into the zone by foot would no longer be allowed except through trucks to specific cow markets to avoid the incessant clashes between herders and farmers.<br>
<br>
The position of the governors was echoed by the Ohanaeze Youth Council worldwide a few days ago when it warned herdsmen to stop moving around bushes and farmlands across the South-East.<br>
