Kogi poll: Wada meets Buhari, seeks level playing field

By -



Governor of Kogi state, Idris Wada, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure a level playing field in the forthcoming gubernatorial elections in the state.

Addressing newsmen after a meeting with President Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the Governor said that his performance in office in the last three and half years will speak for him.
Stressing that preparations for the elections are in top gear, Wada said that he is working to ensure adequate security and transparent poll, which he believed Buhari would also support.
"In terms of preparation, we are working hard. I am also working with security agencies to ensure that there is a secure and safe environment for our people in the course of the campaign and during the election.

"I will tell the people of the state to keep faith because we have a transparent President.
"Provided a level playing field is created and security is tightened, any miscreant dealt with in the course of the election, people given the opportunity to express their will, I believe that on the basis of performance I have laid down over the last three and a half years, our people will provide an overwhelming support for my candidacy. All we need is a level playing field," he noted.

1,497 Illegal Routes Into Nigeria – Interior Minister.
 There are no fewer than 1,497 illegal routes that lead into Nigeria. The startling disclosure was made earlier today by Nigeria’s Interior Minister, Abba Moro. Mr. Moro spoke in Abuja while briefing the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the party's national headquarters.
In order to curb the security crisis associated with porous borders, the minister said Nigeria needed more than $244 million. The fund would go into installation of electronic surveillance round the nation's borders.
The minister added that the crisis of insecurity in the country was being compounded by the operation of 30 illegal guard companies in the country. He announced that only the operator of one of them had been arrested.
Mr. Moro also revealed that some scam artists “opened a website in the name of the ministry which they have been using to dupe unsuspecting members of the public.” He added: “One of them even used my name to open such a website, but we have been able to arrest him somewhere in Asokoro, Abuja, when I asked one of his would-be victims to play along with him.”
The minister underscored the fact that Nigeria’s vast borders were porous, making it possible for the 1,497 illegal routes to exist. 
"We are making efforts to procure appropriate modern technology to be installed along our borders and we are collaborating with the USAt and a private Chinese company on this.
"With the assistance of the US State Department, we realised that some components of the offer we got from the private firm was contained in what the State Department would be offering us.
"When we have done this, the temptation of illegal entry into Nigeria will be reduced." By SaharaReporters

You know, It is becoming too rampant as we read on dailies and watch on most of these social media, how adults molest and harass children, many of which are suppose to be their children’s age mates. For instance, a magistrate's court sitting in Benin City, Edo State, on Thursday, 13th of October, 2011, sentenced one Goodday Owolo (20) to three years imprisonment  for sexually assaulting an eight - year - old girl after pleading guilty to the charge. The prosecutor, Joseph Egbosereme, stated that the accused person committed the crime on September 25 th , 2011, at No 25, Lagos Street, Benin City. Rachel Ogbevoen, the presiding officer at the court, observed that cases of adults sexually “abusing little children is becoming rampant in many societies, hence it is a menace which needs to ...
