<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>There was confusion in Idi Iroko, Mushin area of Lagos over the weekend as two persons were allegedly killed and 14 others sustained varied degrees of injuries when some hoodlums went on rampage in the area.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Trouble started when a notorious kingpin in the area incited some hoodlums against the residents due to ₦1 million he allegedly paid over a land.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Report says one Eniba was shot dead while another unidentified victim was also killed during the ensuing fracas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The hoodlums took advantage of the situation to break into houses, loot shops and attack residents of the area, while they were seen publicly brandishing weapons such as cutlasses, sticks and guns.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to a resident of the area, Mrs. Oladapo, the victims were killed during a gun duel with the hoodlums.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She affirmed: “The unfortunate thing is that while the crisis was ongoing, they looted shops, broke into houses and even molested residents. It was a scary experience. Government should do something quickly. Violence here is becoming a recurring decimal.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Efforts to restore normalcy in the area by Police officers from the Alakara Division however failed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While confirming the incident, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer said, “Nobody was killed. Two suspects were rather arrested in connection with the skirmish. Normalcy has been restored to the area.”</div>

APC Raises Alarm PDP Wants To Turn Lagos Into War Zone

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has warned Lagosians against voting the Peoples Democratic Party in the forthcoming elections, saying doing so would turn the state into “a theatre of unending war and violence.”</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The opposition party, which accused President Goodluck Jonathan of courting “violent militia groups” in his bid to win the polls, said Lagosians needed to be alerted to the grand orchestrated plan by the PDP to provoke violence in Lagos State, where “peace has endured for years.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The APC, in a statement by its Lagos State Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, said the recent rally by members of the Oodua Peoples Congress with attendant vandalism of APC campaign posters and billboards, signaled a return to the days of insecurity in the state, should PDP be voted in on March 28 and April 11 general elections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The statement read in part, “We want to alert the good people of Lagos of the grand design by the PDP that has supervised the worst security crisis the country has faced since the civil war, to launch unending violence and seek to compromise the enviable security situation we have been enjoying when other parts of the country became theatres of insecurity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We want to alert Lagosians that sponsoring and launching gun-totting OPC militias on Lagos streets is the last ditch effort of an incompetent government to launder violence on Lagosians so as to prepare them for the return of wholesome criminality and other forms of insecurity Lagosians have put behind them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 “We want to remind Lagosians that the same way and manner the PDP and the Jonathan presidency are sponsoring and arming OPC to cause mayhem and insecurity in Lagos was the same way the PDP armed and sponsored hoodlums in the South-South, and after elections they became kidnappers and assassins and Nigeria has not recovered from this. The same way and manner was also adopted by the PDP to train and sponsor hoodlums for electoral violence in the North and they were soon to become Boko Haram militants, as revealed by the late former National Security Adviser, Gen. Andrew Azazi.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We want to warn Lagosians that the return of violent crime and violent political campaigns by the desperate PDP in its bid to overwhelm and conquer Lagos will inflict tremendous harm on their wellbeing and security, if Lagosians cast their votes for the PDP. We warn that voting for PDP, which has compromised the peace and tranquility of Lagos as a result of its deadly desire for power in recent weeks.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The APC said it was warning Lagosians “to note that the display of unbridled violence by PDP in Lagos in the ongoing campaign shows that Lagosians must brace for a full scale return to violent crimes and total insecurity should they vote for PDP in the coming election.”</div>

The 2015 Elections And The Sins Of 1999 - By Feyi Fawehinmi

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>My friend used to tell me about a guy who went on to become a Governor of one of the South West states in the 1999 election. Before he got the Alliance for Democracy (AD) ticket to run as governor, he used to regularly visit their house. My friend says there was never a time he had a meal without decorating his <i>agbada</i> with some of the stew. And then when it was time for him to leave, they would have to help his exit by pushing his car to start.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Such was the speed with which General Abdulsalami Abubakar found and relinquished power that many people perhaps did not believe that democracy was going to return. As Bertrand Russell famously put it - the intelligent are full of doubt while the stupid are cocksure. Nigeria was there for the taking and some of our brightest minds decided to adopt a <i>siddon</i> look approach. In effect, our ‘second eleven’ went out to represent us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We are still feeling the effects of 1999 in our democracy today. The immediate aftermath made it painfully obvious - a speaker of the House turned out to have fake certificates. A senate president was alleged to have a criminal record, which he blamed on his mysterious twin brother. One southwest governor never spent a weekend in his state (he was always to be found in a Lagos nightclub instead). Another northwest governor spent at least half of his first term out of the country chasing ‘foreign investors’ for investments, which never materialised. Some northern governors declared sharia to be the solution of all the problems in their states and went after implementing it with a conviction and fervency rarely seen in Nigerian politicians. I remember a former governor who is now in jail in London advertising at the time that he would deliver '100 computers to 100 schools in 100 days' all the while failing to tell the people he had a criminal record for petty theft.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
People only needed to be in the right place at the right time to get elected. In the southwest, you only needed to wear a certain type of glasses and a certain type of hat and flash the victory sign in your campaign poster and you were home and dry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the untold story of our 16-year-old democracy. The best of us ceded the stage for chancers, fraudsters and happy go lucky people. The effect has been so great that no matter what we do in 2015, it will simply be the start of the repair process. No miracles will be possible. We were under 5,000MW of electricity in 1999 and the story remains the same till today, at the cost of so many lives and untold suffering.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But history is not destiny.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If we made mistakes back then, it only becomes unforgivable if we make the same mistake this time around again. The sin of 1999 was not so much that we elected people who turned out to be bad leaders – Shakespeare said there’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face. Voters will always get it wrong now and again. The real sin was not caring enough. A citizenry that was a bit more engaged with the process could have restrained even bad leaders.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have a Permanent Voters Card, it would be almost criminal not to use it thoughtfully on March 28th and April 11th. I won't be voting but if I were, I’d be voting for the Buhari/Osinbajo ticket. I think that they are fine men whatever the shortcomings of the APC as a party. But more importantly, it will signal that we as a people want to move in a different direction if we vote them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But you do not have to agree with me. I only ask that you use your PVC and use it wisely. I've been moved by the amount of effort people have made to get their PVCs - a friend of mine visited his polling unit more than 10 times before he got his own. I’m cautiously optimistic about this. By being so engaged with the process, the space for elected officials to misbehave is reduced.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please go out on Election Day armed with your PVC. Democracy is now here to stay. It is time to stay engaged and begin the long and hard work of making it work much better than it has done so far for us as a nation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let’s start fixing the mistakes of the past as shareholders of the going concern that is Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Vote wisely and please stay safe.</div>
