Osinbajo also visited the Akarigbo and Paramount Ruler of Remoland, Oba Michael Sonariwo, and the Awujale and Paramount Ruler of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona.

At Ikenne, he was received by Mama Awolowo and her eldest daughter, Mrs Omotola Oyediran.

Osinbajo said he was in Ikenne, his homestead, to receive blessings from the nonagenarian towards the February poll.

He was accompanied by his wife, Dolapo; his younger brother, who was former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Ogun State, Mr. Akin Osinbajo; the Iyaloja General of Remoland, Chief Mercy Owolana; and Senator Olorunnimbe Mamora among others.

Mrs. Awolowo, who expressed her gratitude to God over the choice of Osinbajo as the running mate of Buhari, urged the people of Ikenne in particular and Nigerians in general to support him.

She said, I am very grateful this morning to see that Yemi Osinbajo is going to higher ground and it is my prayer that he will get there. I urged you all to support his aspiration. God will take you there.

Osinbajo also visited notable sons of the town, including the Chief Adeleke Adesina,who is the coordinator of Ikennes Peoples Forum and Chief Idowu Sofola.

Former Head of State, Gen.Muhammadu Buhari

The All Progressives Congress says the anti-corruption record of its presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) is impeccable, adding that when he was Head of State between December 1983 and August 1985, people became afraid of taking bribes.

The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said this during an interview with our correspondent on Thursday.

Mohammed said Nigerians should expect a high level of morality if Buhari emerges victorious in the presidential election next month.

He said, I had left the university when Buhari came in and I can recall that every Nigerian sat up. People were even afraid of taking bribes. The only people that are afraid of Buhari now are those who want to continue on the path of impunity, corruption and the likes.

But more importantly is that the issues that define today are completely different. You need a man who can be in charge; you need a man that can stop corruption and insecurity. We need a man that can turn our fortunes around. We need a man that can stand up to say he will stop corruption and people will believe him.

Mohammed said only Buhari could fight insurgency having fought terrorism to a standstill in the early 1980s when he launched an attack against the terrorist network of Maitatsine.

He noted that Buhari had an impressive military career having attended the Military Training College in Kaduna; the Mons Officer Cadet School in the United Kingdom; the Defence Services College in India and the Army War College in the United States.

He said it was unfortunate that President Goodluck Jonathan could not curb terrorism despite the huge amount of money that had been spent as well as the state of emergency which was assented to by the National Assembly on three occasions.

He said, Everything Jonathan needed to fight the war against terrorism was given to him by Nigerians. Money was given, a state of emergency was approved three times but it seems terrorism is beyond him.

The All Progressives Congress on Thursday asked President Goodluck Jonathan to live up to his words by ensuring that the 2015 elections are free and fair.

The APC, in a New Year message by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, expressed satisfaction that the President and the Peoples Democratic Party had come out publicly to join the APC in pledging commitment to successful and violence-free polls next month.

We welcome the stated commitment of President Goodluck Jonathan, in his New Year message, to conduct free, fair and violence-free elections this year but urge the President to match the commitment with action, the APC said.

The APC, however, said the best way to make the elections free, fair and devoid of violence was for the Federal Government to ensure a level playing field for all the parties and not negate the operations of the Independent National Electoral Commission.

It also warned the President not to use security agencies to oppress the opposition and not disenfranchise all those qualified to vote.

The APC said, In a statement we issued on December 28, 2014, we assured Nigerians that we will do everything in our power to make the 2015 elections violence-free. Since then, the PDP National Chairman, Adamu Muazu and the President have joined us in making similar pledges. This is a welcome development that will gladden the hearts of our citizens who are very apprehensive about the forthcoming elections.

If an election is free, fair and transparent and seen to be so by all, it will be easy for all concerned to accept the outcome, and there will be no violence. Violence only occurs when there is a realisation that the process has been skewed against some and in favour of others.

The party restated its pledge to Nigerians and the international community that it would do all in its power to make sure that the election was violence-free.

We also restate our stand that even with the little time left for the election to hold, a meeting of the leadership of the two main political parties, the APC and the PDP, will send a powerful message to our compatriots and, indeed, the international community in dousing the tension that is building up ahead of the election, the APC added.

The All Progressives Congress has welcomed the statement of President Goodluck Jonathan in his New Year message, restating his commitment to the conduct of free, fair and violence-free elections this year.

The party, however, urged the President to match the commitment with action.

In a statement in Lagos on Thursday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party expressed satisfaction that the President and his party had come out publicly to join the APC in pledging commitment to successful and violence-free polls next month.

In a statement on December 28, 2014, we assured Nigerians that we would do everything in our power to make the 2015 elections violence-free.

Since then, PDP National Chairman Adamu Muazu and the President have joined us in making similar pledges. This is a welcome development that will gladden the hearts of our citizens who are very apprehensive about the forthcoming elections, it said.

APC however said the best way to make the elections free, fair and devoid of violence was for the Federal Government to ensure a level playing field for all the parties by not tampering with the independence of INEC; not using the security agencies to oppress and intimidate the opposition and not deliberately disenfranchising qualified voters.

If an election is free, fair and transparent and seen to be so by all, it will be easy for all concerned to accept the outcome, and there will be no violence. Violence only occurs when there is a realisation that the process has been skewed against some and in favour of others, the party said.
