Nigeria Elections: 18 political parties sue INEC

Thank you. There is also some news filtering in that one of the presidential candidates (a religiously devout muslim and Sharia advocate)has flooded the Northern part of our country with religious fundamentalists who are affiliated with Al Qaeda somewhat, preparatory to unleashing mayhem if things don't work out his way tomorrow. This bunch of fanatics have already razed several police stations to the ground and driven out residents from various villages and communities in Kano and neighboring states.

In the Niger Delta region, homes of prominent politicians are being sacked and ransacked for voting materials believed to be hidden there. It's some serious warfare in Bayelsa state between the army and militants which is still raging as I write.It was reported by BBC but the intensity of the confrontation has been played down for obvious reasons. The local press cannot comment on this development because there is no official release issued by the security services and to comment on same would be to open oneself up to allegations of incitement and even perhaps conspiracy to derail our political transition.

In the South West of the country the army has been called out and one state, Ekiti, is still under emergency rule. My own home state is smoldering and getting just about set to erupt tomorrow. Andy Uba, who is better known as the president's Labrador and ladies man has been declared winner of the gubernatorial elections and he won with a vote count that exceeded the number of registered votes for the entire state! I will be posting that story shortly, its on record. Keeping one's fingers crossed is indeed the word, Jordan.
