ASSU- All Universities Established By Jonathan Are Illegal

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has described as illegal all the 16 universities and other higher institutions established by the administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, saying they lack the necessary legal backing and so may be living on borrowed time.

This remark was made by the union's National President, Dr. Issa Fagge Nasir, while commenting on the recent conversion of four colleges of education to universities by the Federal Executive Council, FEC. Nasir, in an exclusive interview with New Telegraph, described the conversion as an assault on the Acts establishing the colleges, adding that universities are not only established via executive fiats but through thorough consultations with stakeholders and deep understudy of the pros and cons of such decisions.

He said, "Our quarrel with the government is that universities are not just established by executive fiats like this administration is doing.

So the Federal Government is only compounding the problems already bedeviling the education sector and I wonder if the incoming administration will allow this to stand.

"Strictly speaking, the Federal Government is not respecting its own laws, and I wonder how you just transmute an institution without looking at its laws.

What happens to its staff, facilities and infrastructure?" The ASUU president also queried the release of N500 million each to the four new universities as take-off grant, saying the money alone cannot be enough for staff training not to talk of infrastructural upgrade.

He said academic institutions like universities are the bedrock for
national development and so are not run without defined mandate and vision, and that using them to achieve political gains will only further compound the nation's problems.

He, therefore, called on the incoming administration to critically assess these decisions and make impartial judgment that will benefit the mass of the people and return the country's education sector's lost glory.

Jennifer Lopez Is Headed to Las Vegas! American Idol Judge "So Excited" to Announce New Residency

Jennifer Lopez is headed to Las Vegas!

After teasing a "HUGE" announcement earlier in the day, the American Idol judge finally shared her big news Tuesday night. She's getting a residency at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino!

"So excited!!!" she shared on her Instagram with a video announcement. "This is going to be the show I've always dreamed of creating. #JloVegas."

Beginning Jan. 20, 2016, the international icon will perform her biggest hits for what we can only assume will be a sold-out crowd.

"I've been preparing for this moment my entire life," Lopez said in a statement.

"The show is going to be a multifaceted high energy Jenny from the Block party, mixing all aspects of what my fans and I love--Dance, Hip Hop, Latin and Pop. It's going to be the show I've always dreamt of creating."

Tickets for the first 20 performances will go on sale to the public on Saturday.

Lopez will be performing select dates in January, February, May and June.

"As a chart topping recording artist, world-class actress and best-selling author, Jennifer Lopez is the perfect addition to the exciting lineup at The AXIS, further solidifying Planet Hollywood as the city's destination for premier live entertainment," Planet Hollywood shared. "Jennifer's show will be the perfect combination of a cutting-edge production spectacular and an extraordinarily fun night-out, all centered around a supremely talented international superstar."

Rumors that the "On the Floor" and "Dance Again" singer was considering a residency in Las Vegas first circulated in October when "initial conversations" began.

Lopez joins a slew of A-lists stars who have earned special gigs in the famous city.

Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Shania Twain, Celine Dion and Olivia Newton-John have earned great success (and ticket sales) thanks to separate residencies at various resorts.

The timing comes just as Fox announced American Idol would begin its final season next January. Lopez is expected to remain one of the judges as she balances the reality competition show and new performance gig.

We should have known Lopez had big plans to "Live It Up" after her TV gig ended.

‘Invitations for May 29th inauguration sent’

President Goodluck Jonathan and Vice President Namadi Sambo are to take the president elect and his, Muhammadu Buhari and Professor Yemi Osibajo on a tour of the Presidential Villa on the 28th of May, 2015 as part of the final activities for the handing over ceremony.

. FROM LEFT: FORMER HEAD OF STATE, GEN. ABDULSALAMI ABUBAKAR; FORMER MILITARY PRESIDENT IBRAHIM BABANGIDA; FORMER PRESIDENT, ALHAJI SHEHU SHAGARI; FORMER PRESIDENT OLUSEGUN OBASANJO; PRESIDENT GOODLUCK JONATHAN; FORMER HEAD OF STATE, GEN. YAKUBU GOWON; FORMER HEAD OF STATE AND PRESIDENT-ELECT, GEN. MUHAMMADU BUHARI AND FORMER HEAD OF INTERIM NATIONAL GOVERNMENT, CHIEF ERNEST SHONEKAN, AFTER THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF STATE MEETING IN ABUJA ON TUESDAY

Governors of Niger and Benue state, Babangida Aliyu and Gabriel Suswam who addressed state House after yesterday's National Council of state meeting said the council also approved a template for subsequent handover and take over.

Governor Aliyu said that the Council also ratified the programme of both the transition committees of the outgoing government of President Goodluck Jonathan and the incoming administration of president elect, Major General Muhammadu Buhari for final transmission of power on May 29.

According to him, yesterday's meeting was a valedictory session for President jonathan.

He said that that 28th May remains the handover of notes to the incoming government at a dinner while 29th is the inauguration proper.

Governor Aliyu said there will also be a lunch and a gala night on the same day of the inauguration.

Explaining further on the issue of the handover notes on May 28, governor Aliyu said that "it is only a technicality. One is inauguration, the formality of the new president taking over. Technically, the 29th is for the man taking over."

He said "For handing over documents, you don't wait until that 29th because after the inauguration, the transition committee may continue. If you recall, when President Jonathan came on board, he inaugurated the Genetal Danjuma's committee to look at all the documents that were handed over to them and make recommendations. So it is a continuous thing."

"The handing over of documents from the outgoing President to the incoming President will take place on the 28th and the inauguration on the 29.

"Invitations have been sent out to all the presidents of African
countries including presidents and prime ministers of the G8, multilateral heads like the United Nations, Commonwealth, ECOWAS, African Union. We expect a beautiful ceremony on the 29th.

"We also reiterated that there will be no African time. This idea of inviting people and the invitee arrives before the inviter is not good for us. And therefore we must set examples for people to follow as leaders and those of us we organise this event we must stick to the details of the timing of the activities." He added.

In his remark, Governor Suswan noted that during the meeting, council decided that going forward, there should be proper templates in which all transition committees must follow on handover to new administrations.

"The council decided that henceforth there has to be a template in which transition will follow, we have never had it. This is the first time one is going to be developed, so that there is no speculation as to what needs to be done as everything will be in a template.

"There is a transition whether it is from the same party to the same party or from one party to another. It is the same template. You will recall that we have never had a template in which to follow and how we go about our transition but what is going to happen this time around is going to be permanent."

During the council meeting, the National Security Adviser Colonel Sambo Dasuki also briefed members on the security situations in the country among which was the issue of Boko Haram and the level of successes recorded so far by security forces.

Suswan who briefed on the security issue said, the present administration has handled the insecurity in the north east to a level that would give less problem to the incoming government.

He said " the summary of what the NSA presented to council was to say that Nigeria is now better prepared than it was three years back in fighting any form of insurgency because outside the immediate surrounding countries, the international community have also keyed in to giive serious assistance.

"So moving forward is not going to be like what happened before where these insurgents had a fiilled day where our military where put in a bad light. Our military is well equipped now, there is better training for them to cope with terrorism. Terrorism was alien to this country and so once it came, we needed to counter the terrorists.

"That has been done and so Nigeria is fully ready as a country to fight any insurgency moving forward. But that the incoming administration will pick up from the solid foundation that has been laid in addressing security challenges, there is a new ways of doing things and he believes that the incoming administration will have less problems than the outgoing administration."

According to the Benue State governor, "So Nigerians should have confidence that insurgency will soon be a thing of the past and he assured Council of State that before May 29th at least, the enclaves which is Sambisa forest will be properly combed and anihiliated and that will at least put paid to the incessant gorrila style attacked that have been raging in the past."

Council also deliberated on the of Fulani herds men which he noted needs to looked into the incoming administration.

"There is a document that states what needs to be done that will reduce the clashes which has resulted to a number of IDPS in places like Niger, Benue, Taraba, Nasarawa. These are places you have incessant clashes between the herdsmen and farmers. Suswan noted.

Yesterday's meeting was attended by all living former heads of state and most state governors or their representatives.

President Elect, Muhammadu Buhari was also attending the National Council of state meeting for the second time in three months after a long spell of absence.

He attended the council of state meeting late january where it was decided that the elections be rescheduled to allow the military enough time to reclaim some areas lost to Boko Haram in the North East.

Yesterday's meeing was the first since Buhari defeated president Jonathan in the March Presidential elections.

Former presidents and heads of state in attendance at tuesday's meeting are, Shehu Shagari, Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida, Abdulsalam Abubakar and Ernest Shonekan.

Scarcity: Nigerians buy fuel for N200 per litre

The scarcity of the Premium Motor Spirit popularly known as petrol has yet to abate throughout the country as at Saturday.

Investigations by our correspondents showed that long queues of vehicles still swarmed the few fuel stations which had the product all over the country while outlets which did not have remained under lock and key.

Residents of Jos, the Plateau State capital and its environs are still witnessing long queues of vehicles as fuel scarcity enters its second week.

Most of the filling stations, in Jos, the Plateau State capital and environs, especially major markers remained without supplies throughout the week, as their independent counterparts made brisk business by selling fuel well above N200 per litre.

In Osun State on Saturday, motorists queued for hours at some of the very few fuel stations selling petrol at N87 per litre.

Our correspondent observed that in Osogbo, the state capital, filling stations sold a litre of petrol between N120 to N150 while many stations did not open to customers.

In Imo, the devastating effect of scarcity of fuel in the country has given opportunity to petroleum marketers in Imo state to hike their pump prices between N105 to N150 per litre.

The scarcity of fuel in Oyo State reached a new level on Saturday in Ibadan and other towns in the state as pump price of petrol hit N160 per litre in a few fuel stations that had the product.

I’m going back to school after Villa – Sambo’s wife

Wife of the Vice President, Hajia Amina Sambo, on Saturday in Abuja, said she would go back to the classroom to acquire more knowledge after the expiration of her husband's tenure on May 29.

She also advised Nigerians to pray for the incoming administration of President- elect Muhammadu Buhari.

According to her, she will continue to remain accessible, even though she did not disclose which institution or course of study she intends to pursue.

Hajia Sambo, a graduate of Political Science from the Bayero University, Kano, spoke at a ceremony organised in her honour by the Coalition of Nigerian Muslim Women at the National Mosque, Abuja.

The CMWIN said they were honoring Hajia Amina and the wife of the Federal Capital Territory Minister, Hajia Aisha Mohammed, for their strive towards uplifting humanity.

The group also hailed them for being pious and not allowing the demands of office to sway them from the right path.

She said there could be times in future when the demand of her academic engagements would not allow her to honour invitations to public engagements.

"I will like to continue to leave my doors open in case you will call on me. In case I say I am having exams (I am going back to school); so, do not be offended, I might be studying, but be assured that I will always be with you," Hajia Sambo stated.

She added that all was now set for the inauguration of the first Islamic Library in Nigeria, which is located in Kaduna State, urging the women to strive to donate a book each to the facility.

She commended the Muslims for their support for the current administration, and called on them to extend the same hand of fellowship to the incoming administration of Buhari.

The vice president's wife however begged the women to forgive any real or imagined shortcomings of the outgoing administration, assuring them of her continued support even as a private citizen.

"I want to assure you that on my part, in my own little way, I will continue to be of service to humanity. I will continue to help the less-privileged in the society, the downtrodden, the physically challenged, and most importantly, to my Deen .

Please, always pray for the incoming administration," she said.

Photos: 8 year old boy found in suitcase at Spanish border

How can you risk your child's life this way? An 8-year-old boy from the Ivory Coast survived several hours locked in a suitcase, bundled in a fetal position, as his family tried to smuggle him into Spain. But they didn't succeed as police officers discovered him in the suitcase via scan on Thursday May 7 in El Tarajal, a terrestrial point of entry at Spain's border with Morocco. The boy, who is now in Spanish custody, is believed to have spent many hours in the pink, medium-sized polyester suitcase, pressed against a few personal belongings.

"He was shocked when we opened the suitcase to see so many people looking at him," a Spanish police spokesman told CNN. He also said the boy is in good condition.

The police spokesman said police officers in El Tarajal became suspicious when a 21-year-old woman, a Moroccan National, showed signs of nervousness as she attempted to cross the border wheeling the suitcase down the street.

"Our officers asked her if she needed help as the wheels began to give in," the spokesman said.

Suspecting a drug smuggling case, police brought the suitcase in for an x-ray. That is when they found the boy.

He was immediately taken to a state child custodian and awaits judicial process, the official said.

A man who is apparently his father, identified as A.O., was arrested a few hours after the boy was found. The man, who has permanent residency in Spain, awaits formal charges.

The spokesman said this is the first time they have found this type of smuggling, in which a child was locked into a container.

Supreme Court upholds Fayose's election, dismisses APC's petition

The Supreme Court has upheld the election of Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state and dismissed the petition against him. At a ruling this morning April 13th, a 7- man panel led by Justice John Fabiyi dismissed all the grounds of appeal filed by the petitioner, APC members in the state House of Assembly, who argued that Governor Fayose was not eligible to contest following his impeachment from office during his first administration.

Delivering judgement, the court held that while impeachment was not a ground of disqualification from contesting as governor, the panel which recommended Fayose for impeachment on October 16, 2006, was illegally and unconstitutionally
constituted.

The court also ruled that allegations of certificate forgery is not substantive as the HND certificate Fayose presented when he signified interest to run for Governor was genuinely earned and was awarded to him.

Regarding allegations of the use of the military by Fayose to intimidate APC supporters during the June 2014 governorship election, the Supreme Court ruled that the Chief of Defence Staff and the Inspector-General of Police, joined as 4th and 5th defendants in the case were not necessary parties.

Lol. Governorship candidate removes Transformer he donated to Community because he lost

Politicians sef! Lol. According to a report by Daily Trust, a transformer donated to the people of Sabo community in Ibadan, Oyo State by PDP governorship candidate in the state, Sen Teslim Folarin, was removed a day after the election on Sunday April 12th by some aides of the former Senate Leader.

He had donated the transformer just weeks prior to the election, but when he came 4th in the election, he probably decided the people were not loyal enough and took back his gift...:-).

Continue... From Dailytrust

An alarm raised by members of the Sabo community on sighting those removing the Transformer in the early hours of Sunday did not move the perpetrators who eventually removed the transformer to an unknown place.

Members of the Sabo community instantly stormed the palace of the Sarkin Hausawa, Alhaji Ahmed Dahiru Zungeru where they expressed their worry, a development which compelled the Sarki to wade into the matter by calling on Folarin's political associate within the community, Alhaji Bashiru Maiborno, for clarification.

Daily Trust gathered that it was at this stage that Baiborno spiritedly made moves to effect the return of the transformer to Sabo community, but he was rebuffed as the Sabo community vowed not to take back the transformer from Senator Folarin.

Efforts by our correspondent to get Senator Folarin's personal reaction on the development was futile as he could not be reached.

Maiborno however insisted that the transformer was removed with a view to keeping it in a safer place. "Senator Folarin is a man of his words," Maiborno told inquisitive journalists.

Photo: God Is Great: After 49 Years, Mother Reunites With The Daughter She Thought Died At Birth (Read More)

A mother & daughter have re-united after a bizarre and unexplained hospital mishap kept them apart for almost 50 years, NYDailyNews reports…

Zella Jackson Price, 76, a gospel in singer in the St. Louis
suburb Olivette, says she was told 49 years ago that her
daughter had died in a hospital hours after being born. But on
Thursday, Price met that very alive daughter, Melanie Diane
Gilmore. A nurse had told Jackson-Price that her baby, who
was three months premature and weighed less than one
pound, died shortly after birth. "She came up to me three
hours later and said your baby passed," Jackson-Price told the
NYDN.

Gilmore was subsequently adopted by another family, and believed that her birth mother gave her up. When she was 20, Gilmore's adoptive mother died, and she moved to Oregon to live with a relative. There, she began searching for her biological mother.

Gilmore's son and twin daughters helped search for their grandmother last year, using Facebook to track Jackson-Price down and a DNA test to confirm the match. Results came back in March, and it was "a 99.9997% match," Gilmore's daughter wrote in the description section of a YouTube video documenting the reunion.

Gilmore, who's been deaf since the age of 3, was given the news by her children via sign language. Then she was introduced to her mother for the first time in a video message "God has given me everything the devil has taken from me," Jackson-Price said "I'm getting it back. I'm getting my baby back."

Jackson-Price expressed plans to investigate whether the hospital mishap was an accident or something more nefarious.

"I'm still kinda in shock. I don't know what we'll find out, what error, what was done, I don't know what we'll find out," she told the Daily News . "As soon as we get over the excitement of being together and everything, I will seek a lawyer."

Homer G. Phillips Hospital closed in 1979, and was converted into senior living apartments in 2003.

Selena Gomez Likes Justin Bieber’s Instagram Video — Sending A Sign?

The heart wants what it wants? Despite their messy breakup, clearly Selena is still keeping tabs on Justin! The singer took a hot minute to like Justin's latest Instagram video which features his friend and rumored hookup buddy, Hailey Baldwin! Is Selena trying to send Justin a sign?

We're all guilty of stalking our exes on social media — even Selena Gomez , 22!

However, Selena wasn't exactly subtle about the fact that she was going through her ex Justin Bieber's Instagram, after she made a point to like an Instagram video of him hula-hooping with his gal pal Hailey Baldwin , 18! So what exactly does all of this mean, and is Selena still pining over Justin, 21?! Selena Gomez Likes Justin Bieber's Instagram Video — Sending Him A Sign?

Selena may be trying to move on with Zedd , 25, but is her heart still be set on Justin? Why else would she be going through his Instagram page when she doesn't even follow him on social media? Of course, everyone thinks about their ex from time to time, but it sure says a lot that Selena made it known that she was on Justin's page.

We're shocked that she took to liking the video of him hula-hooping with Hailey at Target! There's always that chance that she might have made the humiliating mistake of accidentally liking the video, but it still raises questions, especially because Justin and Hailey were rumored to have been hooking up!

President OBAMA vs The Revelation 13:15-18

Christian its time to buckle up ur belt for this heavenly race.........

666 = The Mark of the beast Sanate has passed the Obama Health Care' bill into Law. The implemrntation would commence soon. This bill would require all Americans to be implanted with a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip in order to access medical care.

The device will be implanted on the forehead or on the arm. this is to fulfill the prophecy in the book of Revelation 13:15-18 concerning the Mark of the Beast!

The rapture is near!. Revelation 13 is being played out right before us. Many are still unaware.

1. why is the chip being implanted where the Bible says it would be? Why on the hand and forehead? Why not anywhere else?

2. Why is it being connected to your bank account? Remember the Bible says you won't buy or sell without the mark 666, and guest what? the chip is connected to your financial details. What breaks my heart the most is that many people in the church will not make it if Jesus comes now! Many are unaware that the end time is near. Don't tell me that is advancement of technology or development. If any area of your life is not sync with God's word Repent now and be converted. If you miss Hell ... think about it . Hell is not a pretty place, the worst part is that it is for eternity... please rather than post and forward senseless message on social medias. share to everone you know. Do the work of an Evangelist. Share this message with all your families & friends. Have you ever wondered what would have happend if we treat the Holy Bible the way we treat our mobile phones & Social medias? And we really can't live without it.

Only 7% will re-broadcast this message, Don't be among the 93% who will not share the message Satan said "I wonder how humans claim to love God and disobey Him, and claim they hate me yet they obey me"

Do not share later, share it now. May Almighty God grant success to every one who reads and share this message in Jesus name. If u beleive and ready to share this message be the first to type a capital Amen and share!

U can argue or say anything u want but pls check urself before its too late pls don't trade ur christianity for morsel of food

The 21-year-old amazon said she was looking at a situation where the current squad will break their current best feat at the World Cup and set a new one.

So if we can exceed that and get beyond what they've done I will be fulfilled and happy," she said. The best Falcons reached at the World Cup was a second round. She added that she was nobody without the assistance of her fellow players, who she credits for her scoring success.

"Without the assistance of my other teammates there is barely nothing I could do exactly. So me as an individual, I believe in the team and they also believe in me, we will work together as a team and achieve whatsoever we have set out to achieve," she explained.

Jonathan storms Lagos with N 10 bn to rig polls

The All Progressives Congress (APC ) yesterday alleged a grand plan by the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) to force its way through in today 's governorship election in Lagos State .

The PDP plan, according to the APC, includes gun running , use of fake result sheets, outright bribing of voters and deployment of the police to intimidate and harass its top members .

Controversial Assistant Inspector General of Police Joseph Mbu is said to be in charge of the police operation .

Addressing reporters in Lagos, the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said President Goodluck Jonathan flew into town on Thursday with " a war chest of 10 billion naira specifically for the Lagos elections. "

Foot soldiers of the PDP are said to be under instruction to " storm polling units in areas where the APC is strong either to disrupt voting by attacking voters or simply carry away voting materials , " while a PDP point man " has been driving around designated pick - up points to drop fake NYSC and military uniforms , guns and cash. "

" In a clandestine and brazen operation in Lagos , this point man and his team have also added the distribution of fake result sheets to PDP agents , " Alhaji Mohammed said .

He said further :" At a popular Maryland vendor stand, which is one of the muster points for the PDP thugs , three big bags containing NYSC polo shirts , as well as fake Police and Army uniforms , were handed over to some PDP thugs by the agents.

" Then at 5: 30 am this morning (yesterday ), at exactly the same location , the vendor stand in Maryland close to Mobil Filing station, two white Hilux trucks pulled up and dropped 60 medium size rectangular cartons.

" On hand were the same men who collected the bags of fake NYSC t - shirts some days back . Their conversation , which took place in the Yoruba language , revealed a lot . The four men asked from the person , delivering the cartons ' owo nko' (where is the money ). The man in the car said both the money and the guns were inside the box . He also explained to the four men that later in the evening of today (yesterday ), the four men should return to the same point to collect fake result sheets from Bajulaiye (the hub of printing in Lagos) that will be wrapped up in newspapers and delivered just like the way newspapers are delivered .

" The men who collected the guns, fake uniforms and result sheets are those designated to storm polling units tomorrow . They will also instigate violence across the state , with a view to scaring away voters, especially in APC strongholds .

" The PDP has turned today' s elections into a do - or - die affair . The plan is to use thugs and militants who have also been imported into the state to intimidate voters, snatch ballot boxes and provide cover for the PDP to announce false results tomorrow. Fake ballot papers as well as result sheets are already being issued to the PDP ."

Alhaji Mohammed said that President Jonathan , soon after his arrival in Lagos on Thursday to " oversee the PDP' s rigging plans, " met with Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Musiliu Obanikoro , PDP governorship candidate in the state , Mr. Jimi Agbaje , and the OPC factional leader , Gani Adams , in the presence of AIG Mbu.

He said the meeting perfected plans to rig the election after the PDP chieftains complained that the state Police Commissioner Kayode Aderanti refused to co - operate with them.

The CP was thus sidelined and Mbu given the go - ahead to take charge of the security aspect of the elections by allowing the PDP to announce fake election results .

" Acting on Jonathan 's directive, Mbu stormed the Lagos Police HQ today (yesterday ) and took over the CP 's office , claiming he is now in charge of the election in Lagos.

" Meanwhile, the IG of Police , Suleiman Abba , had posted the DIG in charge of training in Abuja , Mr Argungu , to oversee the election in Lagos. Mbu had been posted to take charge of affairs in Ogun State . The President by his directive has overridden the directives of the IG without his knowledge , " the APC spokesman said .

" The PDP is attempting to use Mbu and the GOC – who is Jonathan ' s relation – to force a false result on the REC .

" It is interesting that despite their failure, in view of the dollar rain that fell on the South - west , to capture the region , they have not relented in wasting public funds to swing the outcome of elections, " he pointed out .

" Nigerians have shown that they cannot be swayed by bribery . If money were to be the determming factor , the PDP would not have lost the presidential elections. Just as they failed on March 28 , they will fail again tomorrow (today) ."

Besides , Alhaji Mohammed said key leaders of the APC have been targeted for arrest, harassment and intimidation as part of measures to destabilize the party today, while PDP point men have been designated to invade the residences of the leaders, starting from last night.

He said : " Having milked its cash cow to death on March 28 , the PDP has decided that it would grab new cash cows. Such cash cows are economically - viable states like Lagos and oil producing states like Rivers .

" The PDP has vowed not to lose any of such states, hence the desperate acts we have enumerated above . They do not care about the votes of the people, and are not interested in counting votes or making them count . All they want is to capture any state that catches their fancy. "

The party urged its members and supporters not to be intimidated , but be " extra vigilant and to document all cases of voter harassment and intimidation as well as election malfeasance."

Local and international observers were told to " pay a very close attention to the conduct of the elections in Lagos and River states ."

Earlier yesterday, Alhai Mohammed in a statement warned that " the people will resist any attempt to rob them of their votes."

He spoke of a PDP rigging machine headed by President Jonathan to rig the Lagos elections, and drew attention to " the airlifting from Abuja to Lagos of a Black Kia Mohave SUV , with the number plate DHQ 340 which was packed with election materials ( especially result sheets) ."

The APC spokesman said that the SUV " will be free to move around (because of its number plate ) despite the restriction on the vehicular movement during the elections.

" It is sad that the same President, who conceded defeat in the presidential election and then followed up with a speech in which he said he would like his ' legacy' of free and fair elections to endure , is the one who is presiding over a desperate move to steal the people' s votes.

" How can President Jonathan ' s ' legacy' endure when one of his last acts in office is a seeming vengeance mission to lead his party to capture Lagos because the PDP sees the state as a cash cow that they can milk to death with the party' s gravy train at the federal level having derailed?" the party queried .

" In their desperation over the Lagos elections, they have shamelessly divided the people along ethnic, religious and regional lines , thus setting the stage for the condemnable hate speeches to which they have in turn latched on to further whip up primordial sentiments ."

The APC advised the President to desist from any vengeance mission that will only rubbish whatever is left of " his so - called legacy of free and fair elections."

It urged all APC members and supporters, and indeed all the good people of Lagos , to be extra vigilant today to " thwart the evil machinations of the fallen behemoth called the PDP."

Ronald wins match suspension appeal

The Spanish league on Friday cancelled a yellow card awarded against Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo for diving, ending a threatened one-match suspension, his club said.

The Portuguese attacker got the card for diving in the
penalty area against Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday. TV images later showed that he had been tripped by a defender.

Real confirmed in a statement that the Spanish federation's competitions committee had "cancelled the referee's yellow card".

Ronaldo avoids a one-match suspension for his fifth yellow card meaning he will be available to play in a key match on Saturday against Eibar.

Real are second in the Spanish title race, four points behind leaders Barcelona.

Coach Carlo Ancelotti will already be without James Rodriguez and Toni Kross, who are suspended, and the injured Gareth Bale (muscle problem)."Bale won't be available tomorrow," Ancelotti told a press conference.

"He's suffering from a sprain and it's best to wait until Tuesday (when Real face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League).

"We must put out the best team possible, and so the decision on Cristiano was normal because the punishment wasn't right."

He added: "We are giving Eibar the utmost respect as we can't afford to fail against them."
