The Presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.), on Tuesday said any public official
who betrayed the trust of Nigerians and illegally
enriched himself under his administration would be
made to face the full wrath of the law.
He promised Nigerians that there would be no
hiding place for corrupt elected officials, including
governors and all other government officials in his
administration.
Buhari gave the assurance at the presidential
rally held at the Pantami International Stadium,
Gombe.
He said, “We must do away with corruption as
well as develop the Nigerian economy, if we are
elected into office by the grace of God, any
elected official that is elected or appointed to
serve under me must be transparent, because if
any of them embezzles public funds, he will face
the consequences.”
The presidential hopeful also promised to boost
electricity supply in all parts of the country. He
also pledged to revive moribund industries in
order to address unemployment.
“Our youths are suffering and walking round the
streets without employment but we will strive to
make them gainfully employed, so as to disengage
them from vices that can destroy their future,”
Buhari stated.
The APC presidential candidate said he would
also look into ways of collaborating with advanced
countries to revamp the agricultural sector. He
said schools would also be given a facelift and
qualified teachers would be recruited.
Also speaking at the rally, the National Chairman
of the party, John Odigie-Oyegun, called on the
Nigerian public to vote massively for the APC in
the forthcoming elections to guarantee progress
and development.
He urged all party faithful to obtain their
Permanent Voter Cards so as to have the
opportunity to elect candidates of their choice.
The party’s leader in Gombe State, Senator
Danjuma Goje, described Buhari as the architect
of change.
He urged all supporters of the party to vote
out the Peoples Democratic Party by turning out
in large number on election days and also defend
their votes by ensuring that the votes were
counted in their presence.
The governorship candidate of the party in the
state, Alhaji Inuwa Yahaya, expressed optimism
that the APC would win elections in Gombe
State come February 14 and 28.
The Gombe APC Presidential rally, which was
the 34th in the series, was well attended and it
ended peacefully.

Angry youths in Bauchi on Thursday twice pelted
President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign team
with stones and water sachets.
The broom-wielding youths first blocked the
motorcade of the President on Nasarawa Street
as it made its way to the palace of the Emir
of Bauchi, where Jonathan and his team were
going to pay homage.
It took the combined efforts of soldiers and riot
policemen to disperse the youths, who were
chanting anti-Peoples Democratic Party slogans
and extolling the All Progressives Congress
presidential candidate, Maj.Gen. Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.)
Along the popular Ran Road, some of the
youths, who were singing “Sai Buhari” disrupted
business activities.
In the President’s motorcade were Vice
President Namadi Sambo; Governor Isa
Yuguda; the PDP National Chairman, Adamu
Mu’azu; and the Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, Senator Bala Mohammed.
Also on the convoy were Governors Ibrahim
Dankwambo (Gombe) and Godswill Akpabio
(Akwa-Ibom) as well as the Director-General
of the PDP Presidential Campaign
Organisation, Ahmadu Ali.
Jonathan and his team however made their way
to the Ibrahim Babangida Square venue of the
campaign rally where they were again
embarrassed by another set of broom-wielding
youths.
Before the arrival of the campaign team at the
venue, the youths were chanting solidarity songs
for the President and the PDP. They marched
round the venue with drums and placards with
the President’s pictures.
They however suddenly turned wild when the
programme began and started pelting dignitaries
on the platform with objects.
They also destroyed Jonathan’s campaign posters,
some of the canopies erected at the venue and
plastic chairs.
Water sachets were thrown at the FCT minister
while he was making his speech and pleading with
the people of the state to vote for Jonathan
and the PDP on February 14.
The other dignitaries on the stand had to
bend their heads to avoid being hit by the
objects that were hurled at them by the crowd.
The obviously embarrassed minister called on
Jonathan and other dignitaries to ignore what was
happening since it was the “handiwork of the
opposition.”
“Fellow supporters of the PDP, let’s ignore what
is happening. This is politics. It is the handiwork
of those who are bent on destroying politics in
Nigeria,” he told Jonathan and the other
members of the campaign team.
When Mohammed shouted, “Nigeria, ” the crowd
shouted back “sai Buhari,” “Ba mayi,”
meaning, “We don’t support the PDP, we want
Buhari.”
A security operative, who claimed to have
witnessed the incidents, told one of our
correspondents in Abuja, that six of his
colleagues in the Department of State
Security, were injured.
He added that four of them were treated at an
undisclosed hospital and discharged immediately
while the remaining two were admitted.
The two, according to him, had deep cuts on
their heads.

Prices of imported used cars are expected to
rise appreciably in the New Year as the Federal
Government begins the collection of 70 per cent
duty on second-hand vehicles imported into the
country from January 1, 2015.
This is the second phase of the national
automotive policy, which was announced in
November 2013.
In a move to encourage local assembling of
vehicles, the government had last year raised the
import tariff on fully-built cars and used vehicles
from 22 per cent to 70 per cent. The first
phase of the policy involving the payment of 35
per cent duty came into effect in February 2014.
The second phase of the policy involving another
35 per cent increase of the levy, expected to
take effect on July 1, 2014, was later postponed
to January 1, 2015 after consultations with
stakeholders.
Following the first 35 per cent duty increase on
imported used cars, auto dealers at the Berger
Yard Auto Market along the Apapa/Oshodi
Expressway in Lagos reportedly reduced the
number of imports by half due to a
corresponding rise in the cost of imports.
Dealers, who spoke with our correspondent, said
sales had been badly hit as a result of the
implementation of the first phase of the policy.
When our correspondent visited the Berger Yard
Auto Market on Tuesday, activities had
considerably slowed down. Car dealers hanged
around the various parks at the huge market and
called out to passers-by in the hope of getting
them to purchase some of the vehicles on
display.
A car dealer, Okechukwu Madueke, said,
“Compared to previous years, sale this Yuletide
is really bad. Usually at this period, we would
have many people rushing to buy cars. At this
park alone, we could sell between 10 and 15
cars daily; so, by the time you put the figure
together for the other parks, you will know how
well we were doing then. But now, it is a
struggle to sell two to three cars daily.
“I actually expected that there would be a rush
to buy vehicles before the January 1 deadline to
beat the enforcement of the second phase of
the tariff increase, but things are not going that
way at all.”
The car dealer also said the heavy traffic along
the Oshodi/Apapa Expressway and the
devaluation of the naira were other factors that
could be responsible for the poor sale.
Our correspondent gathered that the current
situation at the Berger Yard Market had been
so for the past six months. Some dealers
expressed their frustration at the traffic situation
along the route, which they said could be one of
the reasons for the drop in sales.
As of the time our correspondent visited the
market, petroleum tankers had completely blocked
the expressway from Mile 2 to Apapa.
Another dealer, Iyke Okoye, said, “Sometimes,
buyers turn back at Mile 2 out of frustration
after spending many hours in the traffic trying to
get to this market. The reality is that there are
other auto markets at FESTAC and in other
areas of Lagos where they can buy cars. If
people have to spend hours in the traffic to get
here, they can as well go to other places if only
to save themselves the stress.
“Accidents happen here on an hourly basis
because the petroleum tankers parked
indiscriminately along the road. So, we don’t know
if this is the reason why people no longer buy
from us.”

Seven suspected Boko Haram terrorists were on
Monday killed when an Improvised Explosives
Device hidden in a Toyota pick-up van exploded
before it could get to Biu Market, suspected to
be its destination.
A security source, who spoke on condition of
anonymity with our correspondent on the telephone
on Tuesday, said, “A Toyota pick-up van, loaded
with maize and beans with IED hidden under
them, belonging to Boko Haram insurgents,
exploded near Chikwarkir village of Biu, killing all
the occupants of the van.”
He said it was believed that the insurgents
intended to sneak into Biu Market to detonate
the explosives and kill many traders and
customers.
“As you know, it is harvest time and people are
taking their farm produce to the market; but
thank God, the bomb exploded before they could
get to the market,” the source said.
He added that the insurgents must have
specifically chosen Monday, as they were aware
that Monday and Thursday were the market
days in Biu, the headquarters of Biu Local
Government.-punch
