<b>We can confirm that the defacing of the Nigerian Defence Headquarters’ website done in an ISIS-style on January 23 was carried out by an Indonesian Hacker with the pseudonym Maniak K4sur.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
K4sur’s handle has been responsible for the hacking and defacement of the official websites of Fairfield Police Department, NJ and Jasper County Police, IN websites in the United States 21st November, and 15th November 2013 respectively. He was also linked with the hacking of 8 NASA websites in the US.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Confirming the hack, Nigeria’s Defence Spokesperson Gen. Chris Olukolade, said via his twitter handle:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote align="center" class="twitter-tweet" lang="en">

<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also later revealed that the website has been reclaimed from the hackers and situation has been put under control.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate in Lagos State, Mr Jimi Agbaje, vowed, yesterday, to end what he called the looting trend in the state.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Agbaje, who rode on a commercial motorbike, popularly known as Okada, to attend a mammoth rally held at the Lagos International Trade Fair Complex, Lagos, said he would enthrone decent and more humane governance if elected as governor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: “For so long, the APC leaders have been deceiving the people of Lagos. When election is coming, they will reduce school fees; when you vote them in, they’ll increase the fees. Before election, they will embrace Okada riders only to make their lives hell thereafter. They will reduce the cost of land approval before election and increase it after. This is deceit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"As we know, the APC broom cannot sweep the mess they've created in Lagos. Always say amen to their prayer for change because we have had enough.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"They have been oppressing traders, discriminating against non-indigenes and they want continuity. The time has come to make change in Lagos and re-elect Jonathan to consolidate the gains of democracy that we have had under him", <b><a href="http://www.vanguardngr.com/%E2%80%A6/well-end-looting-lagos-says-%E2%80%A6/%E2%80%A6">Sunday Vanguard</a></b> reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While urging voters to give Agbaje a chance and re-elect President Goodluck Jonathan, the organiser of the rally and General Overseer of the Restoration Praise Ministry for Africa, Archbishop Samson Mustapha Benjamin, said: "When you talk about democracy, you talk about freedom of speech, job creation, freedom of worship and association, as well as peaceful co-existence, these are the things that President Jonathan stand for. And that is why Nigerians will vote him back to power."</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"They did that so that the president would think that Isa Yuguda is against him. They have been telling him in Abuja that we are not supporting him. They did that to show the president that Isa Yuguda is nothing in Bauchi, to show that despite being an indigene of Bauchi, Isa Yuguda could not be respected with his guests in Bauchi," he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We were not aware of the plan ahead of the rally. They took us by surprise. Did you ever hear of such a disgrace to any guest in Bauchi, let alone the president?" he asked.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Asked whether he also knew those behind the burning of the APC office in the state, he said, "I do not know who burnt the APC office in Bauchi. All I know is that these youths were recruited."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, has asked President Jonathan's campaign council and the PDP to apologize for accusing the APC of being behind the attack.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a statement, the Director-General of the Buhari campaign, Mallam Garba Shehu, said the admission by Yuguda that the incident was engineered by PDP members had absolved the APC and its presidential candidate of any blames.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It has always been said that the incidents that have manifested themselves in the electioneering process were act of the PDP on PDP violence, arising from their mismanaged primaries. Governor Yuguda’s admission is a confirmation of the position of our party and our candidate that they have no hand whatsoever in these dastardly attacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Now that Yuguda has admitted that these attacks were hatched and executed by fellow PDP members, we demand an immediate retraction and apology from the Senate President David Mark; the Political Adviser to the President, Professor Alkali; the PDP leadership and their presidential campaign council, who have unjustly made our party and its presidential candidate their whipping boys over this unfortunate incident. We commend Isa Yuguda’s candour expressed through this open admission," it said.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>To be honest, I don’t know whether to rejoice or sympathise with Gen. Muhammadu Buhari anytime I read all the sweet comments about him on social media - especially on Twitter.  I don’t know any presidential candidate who has been so idolised in recent times - which is an excellent accolade any politician will gladly take. On the one hand, it is good for him. He will not be complaining at all. No politician will complain about such good fortune, especially with only a few weeks to an election. On the other hand, my God! The expectations are sky-high. Incredible. From what I am reading, Buhari is expected to perform nothing short of magic in Aso Rock if he wins the presidential election. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I’ve been there before - as a reckless enthusiast. I had similar expectations about President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999. I voted for him based on his past. But I was totally disappointed less than six months after he came to power. I had thought Obasanjo was going to fight corruption as he had solemnly threatened, only for him to appoint Chief Tony Anenih as Minister of Works. I thought Obasanjo was going to build more refineries as he had promised while reminding us of his exploits in his previous life as Head of State, but we continued importing fuel till he left office. I thought Obasanjo was going to address the electricity problem but we were producing megawatts of darkness throughout his tenure. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari's growing popularity, particularly on the social media, scares me at times. In an attempt to market him, some chaps have gone overboard, designing and spreading beautiful disinformation about him such that even the former Head of State has had to come out to clarify one. For instance, there is a message being circulated that Buhari's daughter is married to an <i>Igbo</i> man. Those who invented the rumour had a good intention: they wanted to prove to the world that he is not a bigot. But Buhari, perhaps honest to a fault, has denied it. He said none of his children is married to an <i>Igbo </i>man. Interestingly, the rumour was attributed to Obasanjo by one of the broadcasters! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many quotes are invented and attributed to Obasanjo these days. One says: "I prefer that Buhari becomes president and sends me to jail than for Jonathan to be re-elected and then destroys Nigeria." This is said to have been written by the former president in his trilogy, <i>"My Watch"</i> - which the originator of the rumour has probably not set his eyes on. How can Obasanjo want to go to jail again? Is it a nightclub? He was jailed for a phantom coup by Gen. Sani Abacha. And he was lucky to come out of Yola prison alive. He narrowly escaped death when a wall collapsed beside him while he was studying the Bible one morning. Why would he want to go to jail again? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is even another social media rumour that Buhari does not collect his full pension. A BlackBerry broadcast I got a while ago said while all former Heads of State collect ₦27 million per month as pension, Buhari rejected the "bogus amount" and asked to be paid only 10% of it. The person who originated the rumour said he personally went to the Ministry of Finance to confirm the figure. But, in fact, the total pension package is ₦2,909,122.75 per quarter - as confirmed to me by a former Head of State. The breakdown: pension, ₦878,676.20; upkeep, ₦1,050,000; salaries of personal staff, ₦845,446.50; telephone, ₦75,000; and postal services, ₦60,000. Buhari never rejected any part of it. For goodness sake, it is his legal right. Why would he not collect it? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Good enough, Buhari has not anchored his campaign on any of these phantom stories. He has based his campaign on two promises - to fight corruption and to tackle insecurity. These issues speak directly to the heart of the average Nigerian. Boko Haram has made our lives miserable. What we thought was a mere neighbourhood gathering of some religious zealots some years ago has developed into a massive bomb that is shattering the peace and eating away at our territorial integrity. Buhari, as a retired general, is expected to wipe out Boko Haram if he wins. Also, corruption is, to put it mildly, a pounding headache. As a celebrated man of integrity, Buhari is expected to finish off corruption with one blow to the head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, many Nigerians could be very fickle. Imagine the nicknames young people would start calling Buhari on Twitter by this time next year if he has not performed some magic - assuming he wins the presidential election. They derided President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua even on his deathbed. President Goodluck Jonathan’s honeymoon lasted for barely six months. The guys that called him "breath of fresh air" started calling him "shoeless and clueless" as soon as he withdrew fuel subsidy in January 2012. I don’t think Jonathan ever recovered from the massive blow the subsidy issue dealt on him. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari's honeymoon, if he wins, would not last for six months, trust me. One of the confessions of Obasanjo in 1999 was that the world had changed remarkably since 1979 when he left power. As a military man, he could get things done by fiat. As a democrat, he needed to go through the National Assembly to get a simple budget passed. He needed to "lobby" them to make laws for the good of Nigeria. Judges were dragging their feet on corruption cases until he resorted to self-help through the EFCC. These are some of the realities Buhari would also face if he wins. The Nigeria he led in 1985 is not the same today. Getting things done in a democracy is a different ball game altogether. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
God help Buhari if, assuming he wins, he is unable to stop Boko Haram’s suicide bombers. God help him if the terrorists continue to grab more villages under his watch. God help him if his government has not created 2.5 million jobs by May 2016 - as promised by his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). God help him if we are still unable to enjoy steady power supply two years into his tenure. God help him if the courts are yet to jail any corrupt politician three years into his tenure. God help him if crude oil prices skyrocket and he has to increase fuel price or pay ₦1 trillion annually on subsidies. He won’t find it funny! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately, the reality is that Nigeria will not change overnight. I’m no longer a reckless optimist. There are no shortcuts to solving some of the our deep-seated problems. The road ahead is very rough, particularly as crude oil - the livewire of our economy - continues to tumble, pricewise. Truth be told: no matter who wins the presidential election - whether it is Jonathan or Buhari - there are tough decisions ahead. Tough decisions about the oil industry. Tough decisions about electricity tariffs. Tough decisions about military action against Boko Haram which may come with collateral damage. Tough decisions about downsizing the civil service. Don’t let us deceive ourselves. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari is more realistic than most of his supporters. In an interview with <b>TheCable</b> last year, he said: "Nigerians have to be prepared to suffer for at least five straight years before we can stabilise this country, security wise and economically." In other words, there are no fertilizers to accelerate the development of Nigeria. I do not blame Nigerians for being impatient. <b>The only thing a hungry man wants to hear is <i>'food is ready', </i>not<i> 'food will be ready'</i></b>. But a more realistic expectation is that no matter who is president, we need policy consistency, commitment and funding for at least 10 solid years before we can be anywhere near South Korea or Singapore. Rome was not built in a day. No one man will change or transform Nigeria overnight. Tough truth. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>AND FOUR OTHER THINGS... </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>ATTACKS ON JONATHAN</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The attacks on the convoy of President Goodluck Jonathan and on his supporters in the north last week worries me. His motorcade was stoned in Kebbi, Katsina and Bauchi. One of his supporters was killed and five vehicles were burnt after the Kano rally. These bring to mind similar incidents before the 2011 elections. Over 800 lives were eventually lost and property worth billions destroyed. Violent attacks on the president of a country, no matter his "offence", should never be overtly or covertly encouraged. Any presidential candidate should be able to campaign anywhere in Nigeria no matter his "offence". Unfortunate. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>FAYOSE’S FOLLY</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The quality of people in charge of Nigeria is not the best, but it is more pathetic when you have an Ayo Fayose up there. His recent newspaper advert - in which he tried to use death as a campaign tool to frighten people about Gen. Muhammadu Buhari’s health - is the cheapest campaign stunt I have ever seen in my life. Who knows tomorrow? Even if Buhari has cancer, who told Fayose that people with cancer die faster than others? Seemingly healthier people die everyday in accidents or from heart attacks, while cancer patients may even live up to 90! Nonsense. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>RUN-AWAY SOLDIERS</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We've been told that we are not winning the war against Boko Haram because of corruption, leading to the under-equipment of our soldiers. However, Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), the National Security Adviser, has added another dimension to the debate: cowardice. He said some soldiers simply run away from battle, having joined the military basically out of unemployment. He said 4000 rounds of heavy ammunition and six APCs were captured from the military in Baga as soldiers fled when Boko Haram approached. In fairness, you cannot have as many APCs and such heavy ammunition and still claim to be under-equipped. Honestly. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>NO POSTPONEMENT</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are fears that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) may not be ready for the 2015 elections because of the permanent voters’ card (PVC) issue. Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd), the national security adviser, said he advised INEC to shift the election within the three-month window to avoid disenfranchising 30 million Nigerians. I think he has a good point, but it is too late in the day to suggest that now. Before INEC fixed February for the polls, all these issues should have been factored in. No postponement please, even by one hour. Let’s just allow sleeping dogs lie. Wisdom.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>President Goodluck Jonathan, who is the presidential candidate of the PDP in next month's presidential election today joins thousands of Winners' Chapel members to worship at the church's headquarters in Ota, Ogun State.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The church Sunday service is still ongoing at the time of this report.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For known political reasons, the president boycotted the 2014 Holy Ghost service of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) hosted annually by Pastor Enoch Adeboye.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
About two weeks ago, we reported that Bishop Oyedepo of Winners' Chapel led some Pentecostal pastors to a meeting with Jonathan where the president reportedly opened up that APC's choice of an RCCG Pastor, Yomi Osinbajo, as its vice-presidential candidate was his problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now that Jonathan is aligning with Winners' Chapel and Bishop Oyedepo, we pray he does not cause a division amongst the church of Christ.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>For several hours yesterday, Ado- Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, stood still for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari as his campaign train hit the, town ahead of the February 14 election.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was the party’s first major outing in the state since it lost the June governorship election to the PDP.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Traffic stretched over several kilometres while hundreds of thousands of party faithful walked long distances to be part of the huge crowd at the Ekiti Parapo Square,venue of the rally.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shouts of ‘Sai Buhari’ filled the air as the people weaved their way to the square where the Labour Party (LP) governorship candidate in last year’s governorship election and House of Representatives member, Opeyemi Bamidele, and his political family, Ekiti Bibiire Coalition,formally returned to the APC.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His entry to the square sparked a deafening ovation from the crowd.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And so was the introduction of several PDP chieftains in the state who defected to the APC.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They included former Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mr. Sola Ajigbolamu; former Commissioner for Information, Mr. Kayode Otitoju and former House of Assembly member, Mr. Amogunniyi Fadare, all of whom were received by the party’s national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Security was tight, the weather cool and the atmosphere tension free despite earlier threat by Governor Ayo Fayose to hold a rally of his party,PDP, also yesterday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The APC had warned him not to provoke violence by his plan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With popular fuji musician, Saheed Osupa, supplying music, the crowd had fun dancing, singing and waving.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They hailed the leaders as they found their way into the arena one after the other.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gen. Buhari, Chief Odigie-Oyegun and other national leaders drove into the arena in a bus atop of which sat Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State and former Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other APC front liners at the rally were the National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; the Deputy National Chairman (South), Chief Segun Oni; former Interim National Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande; former Ekiti State Governor, Otunba Adeniyi Adebayo; Deputy Chairman of the party’s National Convention Committee, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje; Senate Minority Leader, Senator George Akume; Deputy Director General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora; former Ekiti Deputy Governor, Prof. Modupe Adelabu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fayemi said the huge crowd was a clear sign that Ekiti remains firmly in the progressive camp.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The mystery of June 21 shall not stand on February 14, the day of the presidential poll,” he said and commended the people for trooping out in defiance of threats by the PDP-led government in the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari told the cheering crowd that their collective dream of a future where corruption, unemployment and insecurity would have no place would soon be realised.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The presidential flag bearer urged Nigerians to go to the polls on election day and vote APC to make the change possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It is time to send PDP packing; we will make sure that unemployment is tackled. We will take care of our youth, majority of whom are unemployed.</div>
