2019 poll: Hackers trying to preload card readers- INEC

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Monday revealed that it has uncovered a scheme by hackers attempting to alter card readers ahead of the 2019 elections. INEC said the hackers were collecting Voter Identification Numbers (VINs) with the plan to preload card readers for the elections. The commission also raised the alarm over “new tricks” of vote buying making the rounds. INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu disclosed this in Abuja at the presentation of the Voter Register for the 2019 general elections to political parties. Yakubu said that the commission had received credible information that some political actors were going around buying up Permanent Voter Cards from voters or financially inducing them to collect the Voter Identification Numbers on their PVCs. “In some instances, telephone numbers and details of bank accounts of voters have been collected. By collecting the PVCs, their intention may be to deprive the voters of voting since no one c

ASUU Strike And The Enemy Within

Nigeria students need to take a more active position on issues that affect them, writes Joe O. Odey The federal government in 2013 signed an agreement with the Nigerian university system to expend N1.3 trillion on the rehabilitation of our public universities in an effort to raise them to acceptable standards and to be able to produce self-reliant, employable graduates. Former President Goodluck Jonathan paid N200 billion for upgrade works to commence in the 84 public universities across the country. The outstanding balance of N1.1 trillion was to be paid in annual tranches for five years. After that 2013 disbursement, the federal government failed to make the subsequent yearly payment expected in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018; prompting the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) to embark on the strike that is currently ongoing. After the 2013 ASUU – FG accord, the federal government has apparently shown very little (if any) interest in addressing this q

Presidency fumes, accuses PDP of violating peace accord

The claim by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that President Muhammadu Buhari’s family is involved in corruption has got the Presidency fuming. According to the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, the allegation by the PDP is a violation of the peace accord that all political parties and candidates signed ahead of the general elections. The PDP had recently alleged that family members of President Buhari acquired substantial shares in both 9 Mobile and Keystone Bank Plc worth over N1 trillion. But Shehu in a statement said PDP by bringing the family members of Buhari into its campaigns and accusing them of corruption without providing evidence, had breached the terms of the peace agreement. It then called om the National Peace Committee (NPC), which saw to the signing of the peace agreement last December in Abuja to take note of the action of the opposition party. NPC is chaired by a former Head of State, Gen. Abd

Keystone bank disowns Buhari

Keystone Bank Limited has denied allegations that President Muhammadu Buhari has a stake in the bank. The bank, on Tuesday, stated, “The fact of the ownership of Keystone Bank by the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria was never in doubt. On March 23, 2017, AMCON divested its ownership of Keystone Bank after successful bidding that followed due process. Also read; We thought boko haram will be a thing of the past “We confirm that the Sigma Golf-Riverbank Consortium owns 100 per cent of Keystone Bank. From the records available to us which are verifiable at the Corporate Affairs Commission, the core investors (Sigma Golf Nigeria Limited and Riverbank Investment Resources Limited) have no relationship with either President Muhammadu Buhari or Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, as may be widely speculated.” Read this; presidency fumes; acussing PDP of violating peace accord It would be recalled that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party,

Buhari is an honest man unlike Atiku – Tinubu

A national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has described President Muhammadu Buhari as an honest man unlike the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar. This was contained in a statement Tinubu media officer, Tunde Rahman, released on Tuesday in Lagos. He said, “President Buhari is a straight and honest man. Leave a Naira on the table with Buhari in the room. You will find the Naira on the table when you return. When Buhari says ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ you know where he stands. He means what he says, no more, no less. “With Atiku, things are more nuanced. This shows he has no vision for the nation except the naked pursuit of power for the naked use of that power. In the statement Tinubu assured Buhari that the party’s campaign counc l has accepted the assignment given to it and would work for the country and not let President down.
