  • First Election Security Threat Assessment
    SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election.

  • 73 Discourse Techniques in Chief Willie M. Obiano's Inaugural Address
    Discourse Techniques in Chief Willie M. Obiano’s Inaugural Address, “Expanding the Frontiers of Excellence…” BY Ofoegbu Cyril Okechukwu [email protected] Department of English, Anambra State University, Igbariam Campus, Anambra State. AND Umeh, Rose Amaechi Department of English, Anambra State University, Igbariam Campus, Anambra State. 73 Abstract Language has been identified as man’s most important and effective means of communication. Language is also a portrait of human thought and it reflects the quality of thought generated in society. This discourse involves the context of usage. Woods Nicola (2006) defined discourse as language plus context. She says discourse determines our language in the context of usage. This paper focuses on the discourse techniques used by Chief Willie M. Obiano, the executive governor of Anambra state, in his inaugural speech, delivered on the 17th of March 2014. These techniques blended in his political discourse are coinages, diction and placement of words, word-trading, speech vocatives, figurative use of language and idiomatic expressions, rhetorical questions, Igbo praise names, collective pronoun- we, the repetitive use of the negative prefix –re and party slogans as a persuasive means of communication in the speech. These expressions played the role of driving home the message in the speech. Finally this paper explores the effectiveness of the discourse techniques employed by the governor in his speech thus places this speech as a political speech in a political discourse. Keywords: Discourse analysis, discourse techniques, inaugural address and language. 74 Introduction Many scholars have defined language as an important tool of human communication and they have also identified language as an effective means of human interaction.

G.2 1Department of Local Government Studies, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife,Osun State, Nig., 2Department of Political Science, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife,Osun State, Nig., Received 02 February, 2015; Accepted 20 February, 2015 © The author(s) 2014. Published with open access atwww.questjournals.org ABSTRACT:- The system of electoral administrations in emerging countries have witnessed a lot of setbacks and challenges on democratic advancement arising from the activities of feeble political parties, untrained electoral officers and the unenthusiastic and unpatriotic electorates. These challenges have been described as part and parcel of an emerging societies whose socio-political and cultural texture have characterised negative transition mechanisms being intensified by certain hash cultural values (toxic cultural values) which have caused democratic erosion. Scholars have ascribed most of these issues and setbacks due to the syndromes of godfathers, political bourgeoisies, bribery and patron-client politics being demonstration by these actors. But the issues and the technicality of elections, that is, before, during and after the elections that happened to be the hub of any electoral administration have attracted few academic scholarship perhaps these can be attributed to lack of conducive atmosphere to engage in such painstaking research endeavour. While researchers (Omanoi; Dike; Eme and Ogbochie) have contributed in their little ways towards resolving these electoral ills, this piece will examine the Nigerian Electoral Management Body (The Independent National Electoral Commission) under the auspices of Professor AttahiruJaga in recent electoral administration.
