Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to arrest politicians allegedly buying Permanent Voter Cards.
“Buying of PVCs is a variation of vote buying and undue influence. It would be recalled that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) recently alleged that some politicians are buying PVCs from poor Nigerians across the country. If we have not heard from you by then, SERAP shall consider appropriate legal actions to compel your government to comply with our request in the public interest.
Today marks the 80th birthday of the charismatic Muhammadu Buhari, President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Typical of his nature...
God has restored his health, making him more agile than ever, and even more handsome, as a sign to all that He alone disposes of all affairs of men. President, here is to wish you many more happy returns of this day, in good health, happiness and with a great sense of fulfillment. At the end of the day, you may not have liked the decision but, in all honesty, you could never fault his line of thinking and must accept that his justification was valid. And till today we do not experience any closure of the road to the airport in Abuja whenever he opts not to use the helicopter. Why, because he is an embodiment of all that the Hausa language refers to as “Dattijo”. Of humble background and growing up as an orphan to reach the peak of his career in the military and No. None of his predecessors can boast of his respect for the rule of law and separation of powers, giving every organ of Government and the Constitution their due. And his way does not have to be the way others would expect but he would, nonetheless, at his time and calling, without one even realizing. The first was during an audience in his residence some years back, in the course of which he said to me “you know, I swore by the Quran that I will defend the Constitution. Not many people have had the knack to decipher the mind and disposition of this gentleman fairly and adequately. Typical of his nature, this is one very important milestone in his life that he would rather mark privately, only with deep reflection and prayers, devoid of any fanfare. President a very happy birthday, good health and increased wisdom to continue to serve the country he loves so much and that he has done so much for, including putting his life on the line so early in his youthful days, to keep together and to prosper.
