Man beats wife to stupor for over-celebrating election result

The presidential and National Assembly elections held on Saturday, March 28, 2015, resulted to be a disaster for the family of Raphael Abiodun, a commercial motorcyclist popularly known as Okada rider, after he  allegedly beat his wife, Bose, to a stupor for over-celebrating the outcome of a result in their local government.

News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that Abiodun was bitter when the results in their Igangu area of Omu-Aran in Irepodun local government area of Kwara State, came out in favour of candidates his wife supported in the House of Representatives and Senatorial elections and she purportedly celebrated a bit too much.

The action of the wife was said to have got her husband off-head and couldn't control it, he descended on her and beat her so bad that he got her injured on several spots.

It took the intervention of neighbours and some commercial motorcyclists in the area to salvage the situation from degenerating further.

According to an eyewitness, Abiodun accused his wife of not being sympathetic with him on the negative outcome of the elections for his party.

Fellow Nigerians,

I thank you all for turning out en-masse for the March 28 General Elections. I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word. I have also expanded the space for Nigerians to participate in the democratic process. That is one legacy I will like to see endure.

Although some people have expressed mixed feelings about the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), I urge those who may feel aggrieved to follow due process based on our constitution and our electoral laws, in seeking redress.

As I have always affirmed, nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. The unity, stability and progress of our dear country is more important than anything else.

I congratulate all Nigerians for successfully going through the process of the March 28th General Elections with the commendable enthusiasm and commitment that was demonstrated nationwide.

I also commend the Security Services for their role in ensuring that the elections were mostly peaceful and violence-free.

To my colleagues in the PDP, I thank you for your support. Today, the PDP should be celebrating rather than mourning. We have established a legacy of democratic freedom, transparency, economic growth and free and fair elections.

For the past 16 years, we have steered the country away from ethnic and regional politics. We created a Pan-Nigerian political party and brought home to our people the realities of economic development and social transformation.

Through patriotism and diligence, we have built the biggest and most patriotic party in Nigerian history. We must stand together as a party and look to the future with renewed optimism.

I thank all Nigerians once again for the great opportunity I was given to lead this country and assure you that I will continue to do my best at the helm of national affairs until the end of my tenure.

I have conveyed my personal best wishes to General Muhammadu Buhari.

May God Almighty continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

I thank you all.

Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR

President,

Federal Republic of Nigeria

See what she said openly about her husband - Patience Jonathan

As the campaign continues at the PDP women rally in Illorin, Kwara state yesterday March 17th, First Lady Patience Jonathan said PDP and her husband are the messiahs Nigerians need

"Nigerian women, if they (APC) come, tell them that your mother said you should not listen to them. They have nothing to offer. They have nothing to give you, Nigerian women; because the battle has already been conquered, God has opened the way for us. God has brought down the messiah for us. And PDP is the messiah. Goodluck is the messiah. I am a person that will tell the truth. I will not abuse people, but if you are old you are old, so leave it to younger people. What are we going to take expired drug to do? Have you seen anywhere where APC cured any person? If you vote and drink it and die, it is not my business. Don't go near APC. It is an expired drug and an adulterated drug"s following his statement.

BREAKING NEWS! Protesting LASU staff chase out VC, principal officers

Protesting workers of the Lagos State University (LASU) on Monday chased out the Vice Chancellor, Prof John Obafunwa and his principal officers thus paralysing academic and administrative activities on campus.

The protest started around 7.45am as the angry workers locked the Main gate on Badagry Expressway and Iba gate despite the presence of policemen from Ojo and Iba Police Station as well as the Campus Marshall.

As early as 7.30am, leaders of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities (SSANU) and Non Academic Staff (NASU) mobilized members for the protest.

The angry workers who used vehicles and buses to block the two gates song anti Obafunwa songs while laying siege at the event of the Coconut Breaking Festival which is part of the convocation ceremony.

At about 9.55am, the VC, Prof Obafunwa and other principal officers were escorted into the main campus by armed policemen and the protesting workers followed him and others chanting anti Obafunwa songs.

At Block 1 which houses the VC and other principal officers’ offices, the protesting workers blocked the entrance and prevented him and others from gaining entrance thus forcing Prof Obafunwa to address the angry staff who rebuffed him.

The protest took another dimension when the protesting staff stoned the VC and other principal officers with Sachet water continuously forcing the policemen and campus marshal to hurriedly escort him and others out of the area.

When the protest became tensed, because the situation was becoming uncontrollable, the policemen and the campus at 11.10am were forced again to escort Obafunwa and other principal officers out of the campus through the Iba gate.

As Obafunwa and the principal officers made to escape the protesting workers wrath, more sachet water was thrown at his direction. He entered his official car at the other side of the road and was escorted by policemen.

The protesting staff after the VC exist stormed the offices of the Director, External System, Prof O.T.F. Abannikadan, Dean, Students of Affairs, Prof Kabir Akinyemi and one other Prof at the Science Department but met their absence.

Aside the VC, other principal officers chased out of the campus include, two of his deputies, Prof Sena Barkr and Prof Fedelis Njokuoma, Bursar and Librarian.

ASUU-LASU chairman, Dr. Adekunle Idris, SSANU-LASU chairman, Saheed Oseni and NASU-LASU, Albert Agosu, told our Correspondent that the protest is against bad leadership, victimization of staff, non payment of outstanding salary arrears, violation of due process, destroying staff image in the papers, withdrawal of PhD certificates, denial of letters for elected Governing Council and Senate members.

The NASU chairman revealed that the management was given 31-day ultimatum which expired yesterday (Sunday) thus members are aggrieved and decided to join forces with other staff unions on campus to stage the protest to draw the state government attention.

The LASU workers protest stalled the holding of the Senate meeting scheduled for Monday (yesterday) to elect new deputy VC (academic).

While the Coconut Breaking Festival as part of the convocation ceremony also billed to hold same day at the Main gate (Badagry Expressway) could not hold as the workers used buses to block the Canopies erected for the event.
