No❌ Diaspora or out-of-country Voting🗳 in 2019- INEC*

*

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says there will be no Diaspora or Out-of-Country voting for Nigerians in the 2019 general election.

INEC gave the clarification in a statement issued by its National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr Festus Okoye, on Thursday in Abuja. Okoye said that INEC attention had been drawn to a report by a section of the media which gave false impression that the Commission has “made special provisions for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) outside Nigeria to vote in the 2019 General Elections.”

“The Commission wishes to state unequivocally that there will be no Diaspora or Out-of-Country voting for any Nigerian, in accordance with extant provisions of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended).

Ezekwesili🗣: I Will Try My Possible Best👍 to Eradicate Poverty*

Presidential candidate for the Allied Congress Party of Nigeria (ACPN), Obiageli Ezekwesili, has pledged to reduce poverty in the country if elected into power 2019.

She disclosed during a courtesy visit by ‘Women in Politics Organisation’ to her campaign office on Thursday in Abuja.

Ezekwesili said poverty cannot be completely eradicated from the society but she would try her possible best to minimize it through inclusive economic growth and job creation for youths.

She said being a woman was not a challenge for her to win the election, adding that she was keen on delivering dividends of democracy to Nigerians.

“The unemployment figure in the country is scary, and huge number of graduates come into the labour market every year without jobs,” she said.

“Some will argue that gender equality is a deal that cannot be achieved, but I disagree because the society is already moving in that direction,” she added.

*Fighting Corruption💸 Not an Economic🙅‍♂️ Policy, Says Obi*

Vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Mr. Peter Obi has advised that fighting corruption should not be regarded as an economic policy, arguing that once strong institutions are built, they will automatically put a wedge to corruption.

Obi was speaking in Enugu at the 3rd South East Economic Summit. The theme of the summit was “South East Nigeria: The Investment Destination.”

Obi who was emphatic that the new economic order is knowledge-based, called South East and the entire Nigeria to follow the new order and take the world by storm. He said this could principally be achieved through attention to education. “We got the talent here; very intellectually endowed and resourceful people of all ages to rise to the occasion.

We’re all hoping that things will change and the requisite infrastructure put in place, especially in support of education.”

Drawing some characteristic comparisons, Obi informed that Venezuela with the biggest deposit of oil in the world is currently in economic crisis. Also that the state of California without oil is the richest American State instead of Texas that is floating on oil. He therefore concluded that it is not about mineral deposits, but about developing sound human resources that will utilize the abundant intellectual capital in the country.
