The leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau has threatened to attack Cameroon in a video message on YouTube.
In the message, Shekau warned that the country would suffer the same terror attacks “that has befallen Nigeria”.
The video was posted on Monday, January 5, and was directly addressed to Cameroon’s President Paul Biya.
Days after President Goodluck Jonathan released the list of members of his Presidential Campaign Committee, his arch-opponent, Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), who is contesting on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has made his own public.
Former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar will serve as a Vice Chairman of the team in charge of the Northern zone while former governor, Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be in charge of the same portfolio in the South.
Lagos Governor, Babatunde Fashola will serve as a director in charge of fundraising in the campaign.
A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, on Wednesday said there are dangers in electing Muhammadu Buhari, the candidate of the opposition party All Progressives Congress, APC, as the President of Nigeria come February 14.
Mr. Fani-Kayode, who is the spokesperson of President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign team, said the group will expose the dangers he described.
He said this at a news conference in Abuja.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said the president’s campaign team would run a campaign that focuses on facts, figures and the exposure of Mr. Buhari, “for who he really is”.
The Peoples Democratic Party has tasked the All Progressives Congress to come out clean and explain to Nigerians, their connections with the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Olisa Metuh, in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday said the explanation became necessary following the statement by MEND backing their Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari.
The statement said, “What exactly does APC have in common with MEND? Why do they want to resurrect it? Nigerians want to know.
“Are we also expecting a similar statement from insurgents in the north, who initially named General Buhari to lead the dialogue between them and the Federal Government?
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said it has been vindicated by the allegations by State Security Services claimed that the All Progressives Congress, APC, planned to compromise the electoral process, hack into INEC’s data base and rig the February general elections.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Wednesday said Nigerians and the international community can now see that the ruling party was not crying wolf when it earlier raised an alarm that the APC was cloning INEC’s Permanent Voters Card, PVC, and utilizing technologies to hack into the commission’s data base.
“When we alerted Nigerians that the APC is on a sinister mission against this country some people dismissed us as crying wolf and playing to the gallery. Now that they have been exposed, the world can see that the APC is indeed a party of criminals in desperate quest for power.
