EDO: APC PLANNING TO WRITE AND ANNOUNCE FAKE RESULTS WITH THE HELP OF INEC -PDP

As final preparations are put in place for the Edo State Gubernatorial Election which is slated to take place tomorrow September 28, 2016. People Democratic Party (PDP)  has alleged  that the is a plan by the  ruling party, APC to write and announce fake results with the help of the electoral umpire, INEC. The PDP made this allegation in a press statement signed by the  National Publicity Secretary of the party, Prince Dayo Adeyeye.

READ BELOW:

As final preparations are put in place for the Edo State Gubernatorial Election which is slated to take place tomorrow September 28, 2016, it has become necessary to address a number of salient issues.

We are aware that President MuhammaduBuhari has warned the INEC Chairman in private to ensure a free, fair and credible process in Edo State. We are also aware that the President has also warned the relevant security agencies to ensure a preservation of the peace in the State during the Election.
However, despite these warnings, we have uncovered several plots between members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to manipulate the Election results.
These plots include:
a. the distribution of fake results sheets to polling units in different areas of the State;
b. the use of Local Government Collation Officers to write fictitious results on real results sheets of some Local Government Areas;
c. the use of thugs brought into the State from other States to harass and intimidate the citizens of Edo State;
d. the use of security agencies to arrest, harass and intimidate members and supporters of the PDP; and to provide security cover for members of the APC to execute their nefarious plots.
It is important to sound this note of warning again to INEC and APC that the Edo people are united in their determination to vehemently resist any attempt to manipulate the electoral process. We urge INEC to ensure that its staff abides by the provisions of the Electoral Act 2010 (as Amended) as well as its Electoral Manual & Guidelines.
We urge the relevant stakeholders to allow the Edo people to freely elect the Leader they desire for the next four (4) years and to allow the will of the people to prevail.
God bless Edo State. God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Signed:
Prince DayoAdeyeye

'I'm a virgin and i have no tolerance for homophobic people,' the cross dresser, Bayo reveals in a new Post on LIB

Why most of you are busy forming fine boys and fine girls, someone is  spending fortune getting popular....lol.  Last week, precisely September 13th. I reported how  a Nigerian cross dresser Bayo, took the internet with his somewhat annoying photos(read here). He has come back with yet another sponsored  mouth opening photos and a letter exclusively on LIB.  In his letter to haters, he says that he is still a virgin and has no tolerance for homophobic people. Read his letter after the photos:

 

'My life is fairly bland, but it belongs to me, I'm not popular but my friends are more than enough, saying and doing what I want and when I want. I can hide my emotions better than anyone I know. I fight, face and destroy, standing up for what I believe in. I have no tolerance for rude, racist and homophobic people.'

' I won't admit my faults but I do know I make mistakes, I am the sunrise after a sleepless night blinding your eyes. If we acknowledge that physical appearance is your primary scale value, we have to acknowledge and respect everyone's choice in life as equals because if everyone is beautiful or everyone can be beautiful or everyone is beautiful to someone it's okay to base our entire civilization on hot or Not.'

 'I'm a virgin... I am one of a kind that's me, I am quite a find with a mix of colour in my hair, a twinkle in my eyes, oh don't you see? I can catch a ball and perform talents because I know I got greatness within me.'

I am a model, Did you know? There is a better way of looking at your critics .Tell them you are not who they say you are but you are what you are. I want to go out with my head erect.'

 'I want to deserve all men's respect, I want to be able to title myself now to everyone out there. say to yourselves "I am the best" I am legend. Remember "CONFESSION is POSSESSION.

Dear Romeo I am no Juliet, I am simply Me......BAYO. Anyone who can't see the good in me, I am hugging them right now because I know its quite difficult being blind....! '

Recession: Obiano suspends all taxes and levies on wheel barrow pushers, hawkers and others

As part of efforts to cushion the harsh effects of the current economic recession, the governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano, yesterday, announced the immediate suspension of sale of emblems, collection of wheel barrow tax and hawkers permit in all parts of the state. Governor Obiano announced this in a broadcast entitled ‘Rising from the brink,’ yesterday September 21st.

He said his administration had lowered Okada and Keke levies to N50 and N200 daily respectively to cushion the effect of the recession.

“I am happy to announce to you that I have come up with a stimulus package that will ease the pain of the recession and help our dear state bounce back to prosperity. I want to assure you that the government of Anambra State is fully aware of the difficulties you are going through in your families, in your businesses and in your various communities . I wish to assure you that you are not alone. I feel your pain. Our country’s painful journey into the current recession is fairly known to us. The events that triggered this decline are very well documented in the public domain. I wish to assure you that after a careful study of the situation,I am more convinced now than ever before that with our fundamentals, our infinite capacity to come back from deficits and our implicit faith in God, our story should be different in Anambra State.  

Consequently, our intervention which comes in four key areas which are tax relief programme, special intervention programmes for Small and Medium Enterprises, MSMEs and Large Enterprises, social intervention programme for low income households and intervention in infrastructure-for-jobs. The objective of the tax relief programme is to evaluate existing taxes, levies and fees in the state and introduce some waivers and in some cases, scrap the collection of some illegal levies imposed on our people to cushion the impact of the recession on households in the state. Next is the special intervention programme for Small and Medium Enterprises, MSMEs and large enterprises. This sector of the economy accounts for over 800,000 jobs in Anambra State today. These businesses are suffering from the acute drop in the supply of foreign exchange at the moment and are left with two options; scale down their operations or shut down completely. My role as your governor is to envisage challenges and provide solutions that will ensure a speedy comeback from difficult situations that require the power and might of a state government.  

This is what my administration has done in the past two years through Anambra Small Business Agency. This agency is a very important institution I created to serve as a catalyst to our domestic economy. So far, ASBA has effectively distributed the sum of N1.5bn as start-up capital to many SMEs and MSMEs in Anambra State. These funds are part of the N2bn that the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, made available to states about two years ago to help stimulate local entrepreneurship across the country.”he said
