We Are Yet To Decide On Amnesty – Boko Haram



Islamic sect, Boko Haram has said that the Shura Council, the highest decision-making organ of the sect led by Imam Abubakar Shekau, which has the power to decide whether the sect will accept the offer of amnesty being planned by the Federal Government is yet to take a decision on the offer even as another faction of the sect has publicly rejected the amnesty saying the group did not ask for it.

ACN accuses Presidency of plot to rig 2015 polls



Nigeria’s leading opposition party, the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, yesterday raised the alarm about plots to destabilise the electoral system ahead of the 2015 elections.
The ACN accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, of embarking on a clandestine move because it has “now realised that if indeed the 2015 elections are free and fair there will be no chance for the party.”
But, the Presidency described as false the allegation by the ACN.
On its part, the PDP said it has uncovered plans by undemocratic elements to use the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and the judiciary to discredit its leadership and destabilise the party.
