We'll Be in Trouble If PDP Gets Four More Years - Buhari



Presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), has warned that Nigeria would be in trouble if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rules for another four years.
Buhari issued the warning at a rally of the APC in Enugu on Saturday. He promised to revamp the Nigerian Coal Corporation in Enugu and use it for power generation to cater for the electricity needs of people in the South-East geo-political zone and beyond.
The former head of state also promised that moribund industries would be revitalize and the agriculture sector would be encouraged through soft loans to farmers, if he is elected into office.
"We will make sure that there is regular electricity so that people do not buy generator and spend their hard-earned resources to fuel it.
"We cannot achieve these things if you do not vote. We want you to get your PVCs, vote and make sure that your vote counts.
"If you make mistake by giving PDP four more years, we will be in trouble," Buhari said.
He regretted that Nigeria used to have the Nigeria Airways and Shipping Line but under the PDP in the last 16 years, they have all vanished.
Buhari promised to end corruption in Nigeria, if he was elected into office as President. He also lamented that in Baga, Borno State, Boko Haram has killed over 300 persons in the past three days.
He made it clear that Boko Haram has nothing to do with religion, because those killing in the name of religion either do not believe in it or do not know what they are doing.

Over 39 killed in Potiskum, Maiduguri Markets by Female Suicide Bombers

Over 20 people were said to be killed at Kasuwar Jagwal GSM market in the commercial capital of Potiskum, Yobe State, yesterday, when two female suicide bombers attack the market, one of them aged about 15, blew herself up in the crowded market.
The blasts came just a day after a young girl thought to be aged about 10 killed 19 at a Chicken Market in Maiduguri, in the neighbouring Borno State.
Potiskum is in the west and about 100 kilometres from Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, that witnessed series of bomb blasts including the suicide bomber that hit a police formation weekend.
Residents said the suicide bombers invaded the crowded market at about 3pm and detonated their Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs.
A resident of Potiskum, Mallam Aliyu Usman, told Vanguard News Paper on phone, yesterday, that the death toll could rise as most of those who sustained injuries had lost much blood due to bleeding before security operatives could reach the scene.
Unconfirmed sources said over 20 people were killed, adding that their mangled bodies were seen at the scene of the blast.
Earlier on Saturday, two people were killed when a car exploded outside a police station in Potiskum.

Popular prophet, Baba Fakaye of Cherubim and Seraphim is dead

Popular Prophet (Dr) Gabriel Olubunmi Fakeye, the General Leader of the Cherubim and Seraphim Movement Church, Surulere is dead.
The church announced his demise this morning during their Sunday (yesterday 11/01/2015) service but did not specify what led to his death.

Prophet Gabriel was one of the prophets who spoke fervently against charging church members a particular fee before having access to the church. His members have described him as a man that will be missed by all and indeed it’s a black Sunday for them.

Until his demise, Baba Fakaye, as he’s fondly called was a person of manifest devotion to family and friends, a visionary leader with profound knowledge, grasp, and appreciation of history.
He runs both television and radio: G.O Fakeye television programs feature secret of psalms and healing and have been the target of government scrutiny for these claims.

Nigerian Troops foil terrorist attempt to occupy Damaturu while Mission to reclaim Baga is ongoing

 Nigeria Troops foil terrorist attempt to occupy Damaturu while Mission to reclaim Baga is ongoing in a statement by the Nigerian Armed Forces.
Troops are on mopping up operation around Damaturu after successfully foiling and containing the terrorists attempt to occupy parts of the town. The terrorists had launched massive attack from different directions of the town on Friday evening, but troops were promptly mobilized to repel the attack that lasted the night resulting in heavy casualty on the terrorists before the rest of them retreated. Weapons including IEDs and Rocket Propelled Grenades captured from the terrorists are being compiled while their dead as well as civilian casualties are yet to be determined.
Pursuit of the fleeing terrorists is also ongoing while the 5 soldiers who were seriously wounded in the attack are being treated in the military medical facility. Although normalcy has been restored, the town is also being reinforced with more troops. More details later.
Meanwhile the situation in Baga is still being studied to determine the appropriate action that will restore law, order and normalcy to the community after the attack mounted by hundreds of heavily armed terrorists last weekend. A total of 14 soldiers were killed in action during the attack, while over 30 who were wounded are now receiving medical attention. Most of those declared missing in action have also rejoined their unit in the ongoing reorganization for further operations.
Although several of the terrorists died in the course of the attack and efforts at repelling the assailants, the actual figure of civilian casualties is yet to be creditably determined as is being propagated in certain quarters.

ISIS orders killing of own wounded in battle

Iraqi security forces have obtained a document issued by ISIL showing that the Takfiri terrorist group has ordered its commanders to kill wounded militants in battlegrounds, as reported by IRNA.
The document instructs the commanders to kill those wounded during battles as the group faces a shortage of medical supplies in its stronghold in Mosul, according to IRNA.          
It says that any commander disobeying the order will be severely punished.
The document also admits that the Takfiri terrorists are in a very bad situation under the rising pressure from the Iraqi army.
Iraqi soldiers and police units, Kurdish forces, Shia volunteer forces and Sunni tribesmen have recently succeeded in driving ISIL out of some areas in Iraq. The group has suffered huge blows over the past weeks as the Iraqi army continues to retake some key areas in the country’s central and Western parts. Terrorists have also suffered numerous setbacks in neighboring Syria.
The ISIL leadership in Mosul has also ordered killing of dozens of its commanders over the past few weeks.
The ISIL terrorist group started its campaign of terror in Iraq in June 2014. The heavily armed militants took control of Mosul before sweeping through parts of the country’s Sunni Arab heartland.
The notorious terror elements have been carrying out horrific acts of violence, including public decapitations, against all Iraqi communities such as Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, and Christians.
