Abeokuta The Ogun Central candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lanre Tejuoso, has supported the resolution of the House of Representatives directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to allow eligible Nigerians with temporary voter cards to vote in next month's elections.

Tejuoso, who spoke in Abeokuta on Wednesday during a visit to the palace of Osile of Oke-Ona Egba, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso, stressed that the use of temporary voter cards, alongside the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) would allow Nigerians to exercise their franchise.

This is even as Oba Tejuoso endorsed the candidature of Tejuoso for the Ogun Central Senatorial District, while also supporting the position of Reps on the use of temporary voter cards.

The politician emphasised that this became necessary in view of the fact that many Nigerians were unable to get their PVCs and expressed concerns that many may be disenfranchised if the commission insisted on PVCs for the elections.

"I am disappointed with the way INEC is going about the distribution of Permanent Voter Cards. Taking Ogun State as an example, the people of the state, especially the rural dwellers, are complaining bitterly about the shoddy way the INEC is handling the exercise.

"Even civil servants in the state are lamenting because a day the state government gave them for the collection of the PVCs is not enough; our people need more time to acquire the card. So I want to support the stance of the House of Reps on the issue.

"It is six weeks to the election and millions of registered voters are yet to collect their PVCs. INEC should allow those who have permanent voter cards to vote and those who have temporary voter cards should also be allowed to vote. This will ensure that no registered voter is disenfranchised."

Speaking on the performance of President Goodluck Jonathan since he assumed office, Tejuoso said the President has done his best but that his best was not good enough to take Nigeria to the desired place.

He, therefore, implored Jonathan to quit the stage for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, who he said would change Nigeria for better.

Jimi Agbaje

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has berated the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, for promising to scrap the Lekki-Epe tollgate if he emerges as governor next month.

The APC in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, said the promise was either naive or a blatant lie to con Lagosians into voting for him.

It said at a time when oil prices were dropping and Federal Government allocations to states had reduced, it would be unwise for Lagos, which currently has the highest Internally Generated Revenue in the country, to begin to lose resources.

The APC said Agbajes promise was hypocritical as the PDP-led Federal Government, which is working on a Second Niger Bridge, plans to collect tolls on the bridge for 25 years.

It said the federal Airport Road, which is in shambles, also had a tollgate and wondered why Agbaje was bothering himself with the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

The APC said it was funny that Agbaje could criticise the state government for the manner it had embarked on the construction of the Lekki-Epe Expressway when the Federal Government had neglected all its roads in Lagos, including the Lagos-Ikorodu Road and the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, which are being constructed by the state government.

The statement read, Lagosians are aware that the dilapidated Airport Road, which the PDP-led Federal Government has abandoned while playing politics with completed world-class roads in Lagos, has a tollgate and we wonder why Agbaje and Lagos PDP have not promised Lagosians that their assumed government will not only stop toll collection on the road but will build it in the unlikely event that they control the government of Lagos State.

Lagos APC notes that out of frustration from the criminal negligence the PDP Federal Government has meted out to federal roads in Lagos for the past 16 years, the Lagos State Government has undertaken the reconstruction of many federal roads in Lagos and is currently delivering world-class reconstruction of such roads like the Lagos- Ikorodu Road and the Lagos- Badagry Expressway which serves as a gateway to the country but which had been completely abandoned by the PDP Federal Government.

But we find it alarming that someone that dreams of governing Lagos is issuing such economically disastrous threats to foreign investors in a state like Lagos when the Federal Government, under the control of his party, has made the sing-song of attracting elusive foreign investment the epicentre of its failed economic programme for the past 16 years.

I think anyone who's been paying attention for the past eight years might have a clue as to Obama's default position on Social Security:

When House Republicans signaled last week that they would provoke a fight over Social Security in the next two years, progressive stalwarts like Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren decried the action, with Brown alleging the GOP wanted to "set the stage to cut benefits for seniors and disabled Americans."

But notably silent on the Republican stance, which prevents what has been a routine transfer of revenue between the retirement and disability funds, upping the chances of a crisis for the latter in late 2016, was the Democratic official who might actually be at the table if conservatives succeed in forcing negotiations in the next Congress: President Barack Obama.

TPM asked multiple times last week for the White House's position on the House action, but never received a formal response, a stark contrast to the loud public pronouncements of Brown, Warren, and others. It also invokes the uneasy relationship between the White House and Social Security advocates, who were dismayed by Obama's willingness to accept cuts to the program during the 2011 grand bargain talks with House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH).

"Advocates do not trust the president on Social Security," Monique Morrissey, an economist at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute, told TPM last week. "If he blinks and they message this right, it could be something."

Nancy Altman, co-director of Social Security Works, told TPM that while the Obama administration "hasn't been great on this issue," she sees encouraging signs in Obama's recent appetite for confrontation on issues like immigration.

"Our hope is that he'll be that way on Social Security, too," she said. "But if you look at past history, you can't be confident that that's what will happen."
