| Hon Abayomi Abdul-Kabir Ayeola is a member of the House of Representatives representing Ibeju-Lekki Federal Constituency on the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC). In this interview, he expresses assurance that his party will win the presidency. He also speaks on issues relating to the forthcoming elections among other things. PDP members have accused your party of defacing their billboards and posters? READ ALSO: APC Raising False Alarms To Throw Country In Chaos – PDP It’s all lies. They are the one defacing our posters particularly in Ibeju-Lekki constituency 11, they destroyed my posters but I instructed my people not to touch theirs. What is your reaction on the use of the card reader? The card reader machine is the best that can happen to this country. It is only those who are afraid of the elections that are kicking against it. This is an era where individual vote must count. We are advocates of the card readers. Instead of the ruling party to be advocating for card reader, they are kicking against it. Let it be on record that PDP has not won any election on merit in this country. It is always through rigging and now they can no longer continue their deeds. I am happy that INEC came up with such technology. The day the card reader was tested, I listened to commentary all over the country and I was impressed. The minimum period that an individual spent was 10 seconds which means that six people will vote in one minute. But this same card reader does not recognize thumbprint of some individuals? The secret of that is that there are some elements in some individual’s body, such that, it will be difficult for the card reader to detect the thumb. But, those are exceptional cases, it might be one out of 10 people. It is an individual problem not machine fault. There are also worrisome expression that people might be disenfranchised if they are unable to get their PVCs as there are allegations that INEC officers are no longer coming to the centres? That is totally untrue. Originally, there was a stipulated period for accessing these PVCs and some people have collected theirs. Although, some data that were wrongly captured, while some persons might have traveled abroad, some might have died and some students might have relocated to their states, all these are genuine cases. While, some persons decided not to collect their PVCs at the time it was slated. But, I am optimistic that people will get their PVCs before the elections date. But, for those who genuinely will not get theirs, I am sure INEC would work out modalities. Don’t forget that there was multiple registrations during the first registration exercise, now that is no longer an issue. Yearnings of Nigerians PDP are only putting up propaganda not to allow elections hold because it is glaring that they have lost the elections. They are going to loss because they have not satisfied the yearnings of Nigerians. Why is the chamber of the House of Representatives almost always rowdy? Before now, some people were imposing their ideology on others because PDP was dominating the House, today, APC is in the majority. The recent uproar in the House was due to the fact that the matured speaker, Rt. Hon. Aminu Tambuwal was not on seat and by the constitution, his deputy took over. The motion that day was that the card reader must be used. But because of the game plan of PDP. They kicked against it. The Deputy Speaker also insulted the minority leader and we walked out on him. READ ALSO: Tinubu Gives His Thought On Use Of Card Readers But, we came in immediately. There are many ways to tender one’s grievances. We are not Jesus Christ who will turn his other ear to be slapped. We were provoked and we cannot pretend. The INEC chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega, has insisted on the use of card readers for the forthcoming elections to ensure free and fair polls.

| Subject: Yero Wants Northern Governors’ Forum Split 2015-03-19, 10:50 | |
| EMAIL The Kaduna state governor, Alhaji Mukhtar Yero, has reportedly called for the splitting of the 19 Northern States Governors’ Forum (NSGF) into three zones. Kaduna state governor, Mukhtar Ramalan Yero Speaking at an interactive session with some civil society organisations (CSOs) during a dinner in Kaduna, Yero revealed that he and his two other governors in the region had already started discussing the need for the split. READ ALSO: Governor Jang Says Democracy Is For The Rich He said the forum should be shared in accordance with the three geopolitical zones in the North, the North-west, North-east and North-central, because they all have different peculiarities and developmental needs, This Day reports. Yero said: “We must tell ourselves the truth, myself, Yobe State Governor and one other governor had in the last northern governors’ meeting held in Kaduna come up with this idea that the meeting should be divided into North-west, North-east and North- central. This is because these three areas have different peculiarities; the peculiarity in the North- west is different from the peculiarities in the North- east, so also the peculiarities in the North-central are different from the other two zones.” The governor insisted that the splitting of the NSGF would bring effective control and management of the entire northern region where all the three zones would gather their resources and direct them to a central pool in the North. “The governors in the South-east and South-west have such meetings, and they are progressing because they have a common peculiarity in their respective zones,” he said. Yero, who is seeking re-election in the April governorship election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) regretted that northerners had destroyed themselves politically, economically and educationally because they had failed to invest in the region. “We northerners have completely destroyed ourselves; we have missed the road to investment, and South-west, having been in control of education over the years, the same South west is gradually taking over the political power that the north used to control. This is because the people of South west are highly educated, but in the north, our boys are roaming the streets, smoking Indian hemp and taking drugs, without minding to go to school,” Yero said. He also stated that northern leaders over exaggerate the legacies of the late Premier of the North, Sir Ahmadu Bello, without doing anything to show their contribution to the development of the north. “Our elders continue to talk of Sarduana, Sir Ahmadu Bello, without putting something on the ground to build on the development Sardauna had left behind many years ago. None of them want to invest in the North because they don’t want people to know that they have money. Many of the Sardauna’s legacies had gone comatose, look at New Nigerian Newspaper, northern governors don’t want to invest in it because it is not situated in their states,” he said. The governor, responding to questions on the Kaduna master plan, said the places designed for residential and commercial purposes were distorted over the years. “If the Kaduna master plan will be followed, a lot of houses will have to give way, however, we are already visiting the master plan and something will be done,” Yero said. READ ALSO: PDP Is Not Afraid Of Card Readers – Namadi Sambo The governor further revealed that for over 40 years, people had not been paying ground rent, and that the state government is considering re- certification in order to make sure ground rent is paid. Kaduna, which is a PDP state, was under heavy security on Wednesday with over 800 personnel deployed to protect Nigeria’s first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, during her North-West PDP women’s rally in the state. As part of his desperation to make sure he delivers Kaduna state in the March 28 presidential election, Vice President Namadi Sambo’s special meeting with governor Yero and the heads of security agencies in the state was said to be a rigging plot after the conversation was translated into English.
