Address by the INEC chairman on postponement of National Assembly elections

Prof. Jega, INEC chairman

DEAR COMPATRIOTS,

Since this Commission started work in July 2010, I have repeatedly promised Nigerians that in carrying out our duties we shall always be sincere and truthful with Nigerians. I have always said that this INEC will be upfront with Nigerians, telling you exactly how things are – sharing both our successes and difficulties with you.

As we vote: A message to Nigerians

PRESS RELEASE

Our organization, Transforming Uplifting and Reforming Nigeria, would like to encourage Nigerians to vote in the coming elections and do more: they should take a pen and a paper with them and some food, wait at the polling stations until after the votes have been counted, record the numbers scored by each candidate, and after the announcements by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) verify that the numbers announced for their polling both square up with what they have.

Libya Needs Dialogue

PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni full statement to Western countries against their military action in Libya and their double standards.

Museveni of Uganda

 BY the time Muammar Gaddaffi came to power in 1969, I was a third year university student at Dar-es-Salaam. We welcomed him because he was in the tradition of Col. Gamal Abdul Nasser of Egypt who had a nationalist and pan-Arabist position.
