The Niger State All Progressives Congress on Sunday accused the state government of borrowing N5bn to bankroll the Peoples Democratic Partys plans to rig the forthcoming general elections.

APC states Publicity Secretary, Mr. Jonathan Vatsa, stated this while addressing newsmen in Minna, adding that the state Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs borrowed N3bn while the state government borrowed N2bn to make a total debt of N5bn.

Vatsa alleged that the government borrowed the money for the purpose of buying over security agencies and the Independent National Electoral Commission in rigging the election in favour of PDP, calling on the security agencies to stop :all unholy alliances with the government.

He said the state government had recently summoned a meeting with all the INEC state electoral officers, where the deal to assist the ruling party in rigging the election was sealed.

At the end of the meeting, each electoral officer was given N100,000 while it was also agreed that the sum of N3bn will be released to them when the election commences, he said.

The APC spokesman added that the PDP administration had realised too late that it had become very unpopular and could not win any free and fair election in the state, which had forced it to resort to frantic efforts to rig the election through inducement.

He stated that a PDP woman supporter had been caught in Chanchanga area of Minna, buying voter card at N20,000 each, advising that the Police should not overlook these electoral offences by the ruling party.

APC spokesman lamented that the government was piling up heavy debt burden on the people and the incoming government just to induce voters, adding that we in APC are calling on the people of Niger State not to sell their votes and their future for a pot of porridge.

The state government has, however, described the APC claim of borrowing N5bn loan as untrue, saying it was a lie from the pit of hell.

In a statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Israel Ebije, the state called on the opposition party to produce documents to back its claims.

Maj-Gen. Mohammadu Buhari

The Borno State government has declared Monday (today) a work-free-day for the visit of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) to the state.

Secretary to the state government, Alhaji Ahmed Jidda, announced this on Sunday in a statement in Maiduguri, the state capital.

Jidda said that the public holiday would enable residents of the state to receive Buhari during his campaign rally.

The statement read, The Borno State Government has declared Monday as a work-free day. The declaration is to enable the people of the state welcome the APC presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, who will arrive Maiduguri on a campaign visit on Monday.

Governor Kashim Shettima has enjoined all Borno residents to come out en mass and line up the streets to welcome the Peoples General.

Meanwhile, the National Christian Elders Forum on Sunday dissociated itself from the purported endorsement of Buhari by the Northern Christian Leaders Eagle-Eye Forum, led by one Pastor Aminchi Habu.

The Secretary of NCEF, Pastor Bosun Emmanuel, in a statement issued in Abuja, advised Christians to resist the temptation of putting personal interests above the interests of the Lord Jesus Christ, because such compromise has terrible eternal consequences.

Emmanuel also called on politicians to put the interest of the nation first in all forms of electioneering campaign and desist from acts that could be interpreted to imply desperate manipulation of the electorate for political power.

Say new rules needed for race financing, including their own

Campaign finance records for political leadership campaigns remain outside the reach of Elections Newfoundland and Labrador.

The Liberals are promising to amend the law and change financing for leadership runs, despite the fact that Liberals received big, anonymous donations and were the biggest spenders, when looking at the Liberal race of 2013 and the most recent Progressive Conservative race in 2014.

Union contributions key to NDP financing

As reported, candidates in the last Liberal contest said they operated under the rules as decided upon by the party.

That is why, for example, the public disclosure ultimately issued by candidate Paul Antle reads Company 1, Company 2 and Individual 1, Individual 2, as opposed to citing real names. Donors were not told up front their donations might be disclosed.

That lack of disclosure would be a no-no under the laws governing a general election, but is allowed in leadership races here.

Some candidates ran hefty expenditures. The ultimate winner, DwightBall, spent $312,733 on his campaign, MHA Cathy Bennett $411,000 and Antle $438,000. Smaller amounts in the Liberal leadership race were spent by Danny Dumaresque, at $32,850 and then there was MHA Jim Bennett.
