The National Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said the Rivers State and the Nigeria Governors’ Forum crises are a presage of what will happen in the coming 2015 elections.

He, therefore, condemned the crises and the underlying forces behind them, saying such would only turn “an imperfect democracy into a perfect mess.”

The former Governor of Lagos State, in a statement on Sunday, accused President Goodluck Jonathan of masterminding the crisis in Rivers State.

Tinubu, who described the crisis as an “assault on the constitution,” explained that the crisis showed the failure of the Peoples Democratic Party to promote democracy in the country.

He said, “However, we all know the truth but most are afraid to speak. There is no way the police and small number of five lawmakers would act so brazenly, unless they receive instructions from their high places, attempted to impeach the Speaker.

Nigerians must ask: Is this way the President Jonathan intends to transform Nigeria? By turning it from an imperfect democracy into a perfect mess?

“In some ways, this Rivers episode is not surprising. What happened in the Rivers House is one more reminder. PDP leaders hold democracy in contempt and will trample on it, if given the slightest opportunity. If they invert the relatively small numbers involved in the Nigerian Governors Forum and the Rivers State House, what they might do to general elections involving such a large population as ours is a hard piece of wood to chew.”

According to him, the crisis showed that security cannot be guaranteed in the coming elections.

2015 is still far for the polity to be this hot... We should learn to shelve this idea of "thinking and talking about the next election" (Ruling and opposition inclusive) two to three years to the election. Its really annoying, distractive, counter-prodiuctive and embarrassing to the entire nation.. IMO

^^ Better give your retardeen that advice! Tinubu stands up too, as usual, to speak the FACT of the situation! I am sure this attitude of Nigerians is why the slave trade era saw millions of Nigerians and Africans transported as slaves to lands where people would rather die than harbour retardeenic lies and falsehoods being peddled by this retardeenic GEJ and his crew! Nigerians free una self otherwise, sufferhead go hammer una tire ooo!

Hypocrisy at its best. We are yet to see any of Tinubu's classmates from Chicago State University come forward (maybe all of them are dead). Like a friend said, Tinubu must have had one of those spiritual University degrees. Who goes to university without having any classmates?

The way I'm seeing things,
I don't think there will be election by 2015...

The likes of Tinubu are the type deceiving Ameachi and aggravating this crises while doing everything to bring Jonathan in. They won't tell Ameachi the truth. Yinka Odumakin offered the best advice to Ameachi to either reconcile with his party or defect to another party but warning him that even the opposition (including Tinubu) that seems to support him today will likely treat him worse if he dare put up this kind of attitude.

He said, “However, we all know the truth but most are afraid to speak. There is no way the police and small number of five lawmakers would act so brazenly, unless they receive instructions from their high places, attemptedto impeach the Speaker.

That's the nake.d truth.

It's only in Nigeria that 5 out of 33 people will try to impeach a speaker.
Only in Nigeria will a governor tell you that 16 votes are sufficient to win against 19 votes.

tokunboh: Hypocrisy at its best. We are yet to see any of Tinubu's classmates from Chicago State University come forward (maybe all of them are dead). Like a friend said, Tinubu must have had one of those spiritual University degrees. Who goes to university without having any classmates?

What is the topic and what are you saying?
Every wise one could see PEJ hand writing on the wall of Rivers state house of Assembly.

Ur smelling dead father is a retadeen. Didnt he die of acute s.tupidity

[size=15]OP, that's their evil plan. If plan A (propaganda) doesn't work, then they embark on Plan B (whr 5 is greater than 27 and 19 is less than 16).[/size]

=======================
Last Bullet: Jonathan is a Confused Leader, Liar, A Cheat, And A Thief!

.

Its better to be a servant than a slave;

A servant has choice to some extent but a slave has no choice.

Pdp remains a boss that makes all of us servants that is why we can even complain and shout while they hav their way 60%.
But APC(acn/cpc/anpp) are slave masters that enslaves people , far be it that these guys from apc will hold power,

Who are we going to challenge? Tinubu or buhari. God forbid.
The last man(fusho williams) that challenges tinubu was no way to be found.
The last time buhari said their will be blood shed, blood of over ten thousand nigeria were shed.

Anybody that vote for apc is voting fof fero or nebuchadenezar to power.

I will choose to suffer in the hand of an angel than to accept the truth from the devil(apc).

Any truth that can be said by tinubu is a no no by me.
Untill tinubu frees lagos state good nigeria will never trust nor blv him.

If the likes of tinubu/buhari will be the people to deliver nigeria pls we choose to be in bondage bcus if they deliver us they will enslave us the worst.

I can understand why NL yorubas often stands for tinubu/buhari decisions,
If tribal sentiments are kept aside ofcourse no southerner will support tinubu talkless of buhari.

Anything that will strenghten Fulani,Yoruba,Hausa olygarchy should be resisted by us all.

Exactly what am envisaging!

A minority votes overturning the majority votes and declaring the winner of the election in favor of the minority like the NGF and the impeachment election in river state's house of assembly.

It's possible. Manpulating numbers as if we no know maths

See his eye sef.. You'll know the guy was bred to be a thief. I still wonder if any right thinking person still listen to what this rogue says..
