Boko puts BNF on the spot

The card party's central committee threw a spanner in Boko's presidential campaign by declaring, early this month, that his membership duration fell below the stipulated five years, therefore he could not contest.

The party revealed that although Boko had claimed to have had a valid life membership prior to March 2010 when he was issued with a renewal, a taskforce is said to have later found that in 2003 he was a founding member of the splinter group the National Democratic Front.
