The secret of any success is hard work and that has always been my contention. We worked very hard and time will virtually tell the story and time has told the story. People were given the opportunity to compare and contrast between my administration and the successive administrations of the PDP since I left office. I governed the state between 1999 and 2003 and PDP rigged me out using all manner of forces that have never been seen in any democratic sector. They brought soldiers from the air force and the barracks in Lokoja which harassed and killed. For the first time I saw military personnel carrying ballot boxes. That was how they rigged us out in 2003. They brought in a governor that spent 9 years and has not commissioned one single project.

Worried by the revelation that Governor Sullivan Chime of Enugu State allegedly forged the 2012 supplementary appropriation law, an Enugu-based lawyer has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to quickly investigate the matter.

In apparent response to the statement made by the out-going minister of power, Professor Chinedu Nebo, on the need for the in-coming administration not to tamper with the privatization of the power sector, electricity workers in the country have demanded a thorough review of the privatization of Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, alle-ging that the privatization project was fraught with irregularities.

IT is no longer news that the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, after 16 years in government, lost the March

28 presidential election to the opposition All Progressives Congress, APC.

From 2003 to 2011, he showed faith and resilience. For three consecutive times, he contested the presidential election but the outcomes remained the same: failure. But he perceived his loss as human induced and went to the courts to seek redress. There, he got the bitterest bashing of his life.
