<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>USA - George Washington University <a href="http://undergraduate.admissions.gwu.edu/test-optional-policy">announced</a> on Monday it will <a href="http://chronicle.com/blogs/ticker/jp/george-washington-u-wont-make-applicants-submit-sat-or-act-scores">no longer require students take the SAT</a> or ACT to gain admission to the <a href="http://gwtoday.gwu.edu/standardized-test-scores-will-be-optional-gw-applicants">university</a>, making it the largest college to make the move away for standardized testing. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The policy will go into affect on Aug. 1 and will apply to all students other than a few <a href="http://undergraduate.admissions.gwu.edu/test-optional-policy-faqs#1">exceptions</a>, such as recruited athletes and homeschooled students.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The announcement from the private university in the nation’s capital underscores a growing belief in some college admission circles that standardized tests are a barrier to recruiting disadvantaged students," <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/07/27/george-washington-university-applicants-no-longer-need-to-take-admissions-tests/">according to the Washington Post</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"While that view is sharply debated, many say it is possible to assemble a strong class without forcing applicants to submit a score from tests that critics say are culturally biased and often fail to reflect academic potential."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
GW is not the first college to end the standardized testing requirement; <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/07/27/bombed-the-sat-or-the-act-here-are-colleges-that-are-test-optional/">according to a Washington Post tally</a>, there are some 180 public and private colleges in the U.S. News & World Report rankings that have made a similar shift, including Wake Forest University, Wesleyan, Bryn Mawr, and Temple University. Smaller liberal arts colleges have been more willing than larger state-run institutions to offer students the option to skip standardized testing; of the report’s top 25 universities, all still require the SAT or ACT to gain admission.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>LAGOS, NIGERIA - A 16-year-old boy, Tajudeen Azeez, has been arrested by the Lagos State police command for allegedly killing a four-year-old boy in Ijanikin area of the State. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Azeez reportedly removed the deceased's intestine and kidney after killing him. He was said to have lured the deceased to the back of an Anglican Primary School, in the morning and committed the murder there, <i><b>Daily Trust </b></i>reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Giving his statement at the homicide section of the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID), Yaba, where he is being detained, the suspect said one Osho promised to give him ₦50,000 if he could provide him with fresh human parts.</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At first, I did not want to succumb to the temptation but it kept coming. When I woke up this morning (Monday), I saw Ibrahim at the back of the house. I told him to escort me to a primary school not too far from the house. The name of the school is Anglican Primary School, Ijanikin. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He followed me to the place and on arrival there, I stabbed him with a knife from behind. He fell down and I strangled him with a rope. I then cut his stomach open with the knife. I am sorry for what I did.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the acting police public relations officer for the Lagos Command, Patricia Amadin, the body of the deceased had been deposited at a government mortuary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She said the suspect was arrested following intelligence information.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Based on the strength of the information, the DPO and his men raced to the place. On arrival, they found the lifeless body of a four-year-old boy while the suspect was soaked in the deceased blood.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"From close observation, it was discovered that some vital organs such as the kidney and intestine had been removed from the deceased. All the organs were kept in a black nylon bag. The suspect was promptly arrested and taken to the station," Amadin said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She added that the police was making effort to arrest Osho, who is on the run.</div>

<b><br /></b>
<b>CALIFORNIA, USA - With this inaugural khutba at the Women's Mosque of America, Edina Lekovic reflects on the historic moment as a continuation of the legacy of Muslim women and as a symbolic moment of introspection and opportunity for the American Muslim community. As more and more mosques create space for women in educational and leadership roles, we must be ready and willing to step up to the plate and contribute their talents. That is God's message to us - that we must strive and struggle with our lives and possessions, whether we are equipped lightly or heavily, in His cause. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Women's Mosque of America seeks to uplift the Muslim community by empowering women and girls through more direct access to Islamic scholarship and leadership opportunities. The Women's Mosque of America will provide a safe space for women to feel welcome, respected, and actively engaged within the Muslim Ummah. It will complement existing mosques, offering opportunities for women to grow, learn, and gain inspiration to spread throughout their respective communities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Women's Mosque of America provides women-led Friday jumma'a services for women and children (including boys 12 and under) once a month in Southern California. In addition, the Women's Mosque of America provides programming, events, and classes open to both men and women that will aim to increase community access to female Muslim scholars and female perspectives on Islamic knowledge and spirituality. </div>

Government Officials Still Stealing Our Crude Oil - Buhari

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKXgZcnp-HollmybRg_YtJ9qXx4xQpEZ6adjj5yt-rNjuhCGaLL8pkePdQuh0OZdMyqKhcNoOu1Z7g1optCO_PTaRoURp6yQfhutdW8uipcroMGjABhZMK3-JNhiImHqcLMUXu3NTuwbX3/s1600/GMB+Times100.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKXgZcnp-HollmybRg_YtJ9qXx4xQpEZ6adjj5yt-rNjuhCGaLL8pkePdQuh0OZdMyqKhcNoOu1Z7g1optCO_PTaRoURp6yQfhutdW8uipcroMGjABhZMK3-JNhiImHqcLMUXu3NTuwbX3/s640/GMB+Times100.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>ABUJA, NIGERIA - President Muhammadu Buhari has regretted that crude oil theft that characterised past governments was still thriving under his government. He expressed his regrets on Monday on <i>Good Morning Nigeria</i>, an NTA breakfast show.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The President, who was inaugurated on May 29, said the nation's crude was still being lifted illegally by government officials up until July 10.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said the situation, which he described as a monumental fraud, was beyond comprehension.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He expressed the confidence that some developed countries would assist Nigeria to identify and repatriate looted funds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This, he said, would however not be achieved without meeting some conditions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The multiparty democracy system for developing countries has its advantages and relative disadvantages in the sense that for us to get the help of the developed countries, we have to get our facts: documents, complete and reliable investigation, take them to court and get these people prosecuted. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, the theft continues. Up to the 10th of this month, our crude is still being illegally lifted by people who are in government. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are trying to get these documents; we are getting cooperation from the international community. We are going very soon to make sure that those who perpetrated this crime against Nigeria will be faced with facts and be taken to our courts. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have got the cooperation of some of the countries that are the destinations of our crude and we are discussing with them. We have to maintain high confidentiality so that we don’t risk some of the people in Nigeria that are helping us to trace the destinations of this stolen crude and then the accounts where the proceeds are being paid instead of the Federal Government account. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't think the NNPC knows how many accounts are there in which payments are made on Nigerian crude. The monumental fraud has been going on for a number of years; a lot of Nigerians cannot comprehend it.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari admitted that the task of getting looted funds repatriated had not been an easy one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While saying his government was working hard to meet the demands of the foreign countries, the President promised that he would be updating Nigerians of developments as far as the repatriation process was concerned.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The countries are willing but I also said it has to comply with their own system; we have to get the documents, especially the shipping documents, how they load here in our terminals and the destinations. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some of them even change the crude or the destinations on the high sea and then change the account, instead of the Federal Government account, they pay into individual accounts. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The cooperation we need is that once we get those shipping documents and we are lucky to trace them up to the countries where they sold the crude and which account it goes, then we will submit the evidence in terms of loading, the payment made and the account. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once we do these, they are very willing to make sure that all those accounts are frozen and money repatriated to Nigeria. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is not an easy process but I assure you that we are working very hard. We cannot say we will wait until when everything is completed. Whatever we are able to get in a couple of months, we will bring it out for Nigerians to know.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the planned breaking of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Buhari said the best way to go was to first establish the magnitude of the inexplicable way the NNPC had conducted itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said after doing that, his administration would be on a higher moral ground to implement whatever recommendations made to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari traced the continued problem of fuel scarcity to the destruction of infrastructure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari said: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The problem of fuel scarcity is one of the problems. We all know we used to have four refineries refining daily on the average of about 450,000 barrels per day. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had 25 depots all over the country from Maiduguri to Ilorin, from Gusau to Yola, from Makurdi to Port Harcourt to Ibadan. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These entire infrastructure have virtually been vandalised and Nigerians are forced to buy products from world markets as if Nigeria hasn't invested in the industry. This is sheer corruption and inefficiency. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This situation cannot be undone overnight. Firstly, we have to organise with our partners who had been developing the petroleum sector. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nigeria was consistently losing on a daily basis millions of dollars. I think those who have been operating in the industry have been displaying lack of conscience and patriotism. Only God knows the amount of damage done to Nigeria.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari said he discussed the issues of unemployment, insecurity and corruption with President Barack Obama when he visited the United States last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said he was impressed with the concern raised by the US and Europe about the situation in Nigeria.</div>

<b>ABUJA, NIGERIA - President Nuhammadu Buhari has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) members in the National Assembly, by their conduct and the ongoing leadership crisis in the legislature, were allowing the Peoples Democratic Party to take over his government.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
Buhari stated this on <i>Good Morning Nigeria,</i> a <b>Nigerian Television Authority</b>'s (NTA) live programme on Monday morning.</div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
He said: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have to be very sensitive to the Constitution of the country. I do not like to be told by anybody, especially the legislators that I am interfering in their matter. There are three arms of government: executive, legislature and the judiciary. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over the last 16 years, they (lawmakers) have developed the system of choosing their leaders. There is no way I can directly interfere. All I can do through the party is to appeal to their conscience that what I already observed, we should go over it as soon as possible. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I say 'we', I mean the APC. We cannot win the battle and lose the war. We must not allow individual personal ambition to succeed in dividing us and allow PDP to deal with us. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is what the National Assembly has allowed so far; the APC is giving the PDP the allowance to take over the government again. This is extremely disheartening, I am very worried. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The only thing I can do is to appeal to the conscience of the APC members in the Senate and House. It took us time to get to where we are; I don't want personal ambitions to scuttle our success and therefore fail to deliver on our promises to the nation.</div>

<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<b>ABUJA, NIGERIA - In a live television programme, <i>Good Morning Nigeria</i>, monitored on the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), President Muhammadu Buhari said he was in possession of a comprehensive report of what Boko Haram members did when they were occupying some local governments in the North-East.</b></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
He put the number of Internally Displaced Persons as a result of the activities of the sect at over 1.5million.</div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
He said: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a comprehensive report of what the Boko Haram members were able to do when they occupied more than 10 Local Governments in Borno State, seven Local Governments in Yobe and Adamawa states. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The destruction they made on the infrastructure, especially schools, hostels, roads, blown up bridges and blown up markets. We have made a list of these and what it will cost to quickly rehabilitate them. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again, the Internally Displaced Persons, they are more than 1.5million mostly from those three states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa. But they are in Kaduna, Abuja. What it takes to rehabilitate in terms of repair of towns that have been razed down by Boko Haram, like Bama, Baga and other towns and then getting the infrastructure – schools, hospitals, getting the teachers is a very expensive and a long list but is verifiable and quantifiable.</div>
</blockquote>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
The President said contrary to the belief of many, the US was willing to help Nigeria with weapons because they understood the nation’s problems.</div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
He recalled how the US came to the nation’s aid when it became obvious that the past administration did not want to hold elections as scheduled.</div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
Buhari said the past government reluctantly conceded defeat after the APC won the election.</div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
The President explained: "Because of the high technology in the U.S., the European countries and China. It is not that we do not have trained personnel, not that we don’t have basic infrastructure but the problem is that in spite of the money allegedly spent on the operations, the Air Force is virtually non-existent.</div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
"The aircraft are not serviceable, the helicopters are not serviceable and they are few.</div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
“There is the need for the Air Force to conduct a reconnaissance and support the ground troops. The arrangement made by the former government will soon expire. We have made this clear to America and the G-7 and we need their cooperation.</div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
"This problem is not only in the North-East, we have a problem in the Gulf of Guinea between Senegal and Angola and the incredible theft of the Nigerian crude in an average of more than 250,000 barrels per day, which is being illegally loaded from our terminals by unpatriotic Nigerians that only consider their own selfish interests to get money.</div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: ''; text-align: justify;">
"We registered the support and cooperation of the US and other countries who sympathise with us to make sure the Gulf of Guinea is secured so as to make it difficult for crude thieves to load at our terminals and transport it to all over the world."</div>

<b>ABUJA, NIGERIA - President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said he would not make compromised citizens and 'hostages' ministers.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We will try as much as possible to avoid appointing hostages; by this, I mean people who have been in the system but compromised their personal and professional integrity", Buhari said on Monday in a live programme, <i>Good Morning Nigeria</i>, on the <b>Nigerian Television Authority</b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said he needed decent, patriotic and hard-working technocrats as well as politicians to work with him in order to achieve his dream of repositioning the country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said the worst thing that could happen to his administration was to get compromised persons to be in charge of institutions, adding that such people would be ineffective and unpatriotic.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The President said: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From what I have seen so far, we need very patriotic Nigerians (to be ministers); Nigerians that can work very hard with knowledgeable experience; committed Nigerians to be in charge of ministries. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A lot of institutions in Nigeria are compromised, everybody for himself and God for all of us. It is most unfortunate. We have people, educated and experienced people, but everybody seems to be working for himself on how much they could get away with as soon as possible. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have to look for technocrats and politicians. We have to look out for decent people in this class to give them the responsibility of being in charge of ministries and important parastatals. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is taking so much time (to appoint ministers) because a number of knowledgeable people have been compromised. They have been compromised by people who will like to depend on them to damage our economy and security; a lot of them have been compromised. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The worst thing that I think can happen is to get a compromised person to be in charge of institutions. There is no way he could be efficient or patriotic. Somebody behind the scene will be manipulating him at the expense of the nation. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is what we are trying to avoid and I assure you that so much damage has been done to Nigeria. We cannot rush to give this responsibility to people that have unfortunately been compromised. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is because there is no way you can effectively supervise, let's say 20 ministries, you have to give it to people you trust and you allow them to perform according to the Constitution of the country. If you appoint compromised people, then we will be back to square one and Nigeria will be the loser.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>ABUJA, NIGERIA - Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on Monday, said the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government of former President Goodluck Jonathan had destroyed the country.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oshiomhole, who was on the entourage of President Muhammadu Buhari to the United States, said Nigeria had in Buhari a President who talked with confidence unlike "a President that is blabbing and is not sure of what the issues are."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The governor spoke with State House correspondents shortly after meeting with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The PDP destroyed the country. I mean from the lips of American officials; senior officials of the State Department said one minister under PDP cornered as much as $6bn. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The man said even by Washington's standard, that is earth-shattering. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, the PDP is a party that presided over the liquidation of our nation, destroyed all our institutions, converted the Armed Forces commanders to use them as if they were political thugs, converted the Nigerian Television Authority to a party megaphone, destroyed the Department of State Services, went after opposition as if we were rabbits to be pursued into our holes, compromised even student unions and destroyed everything that you can think of, and elevated religion to a state affair. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Under the party, Israel became a place you visit every week; they placed pastors against mallams, placed the North against the South, the East against the West, just to retain power; elevate Obas and Obis with dollars. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You guys (journalists) were reporting dollars that were changing hands; when the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation was spending much more money than is available to the Federation Account. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are a very patient people. If we were not a patient people, anybody wearing the tag of PDP ought to feel very unsafe because you are all victims - all of us here. </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Johnnie Carson, who was the Assistant Secretary of State, when we visited him in company with Senator (Bukola) Saraki, then as the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum - that was at the eve of President Obama’s first visit to Africa - and we went to complain, "why is Nigeria not on the list?" </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What he said, for me, was quite instructive compared to what he said last week. Then I was present when he said: <b>"you know, we, who see ourselves not just as friends of Nigeria, each time we think there is light at the end of the tunnel and it is time to encourage Nigeria to build on it, you would wake up the following day under President Jonathan to find out that even the tunnel had been removed."</b> </div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Those were the words of Mr. Carson. Now last week, this same Carson chaired the President's address at the Institute of Peace and he said: <b>"we now have a man of enormous integrity; one that has shown so much faith in the democratic process; one that refused to be frustrated even in the face of massively rigged elections. He submitted to the judicial process and even when that was compromised he never gave up. America has done its check and we are convinced that this President is the one that Nigeria needs at this time to regain its leadership of the African continent"</b>.</div>
