The Senate Minority Leader , Senator George Akume has declared that 31 more House of Representatives members will join the All Progressives Party (APC) in January .

Akume made the declaration at his Judges Quarters residence in Makurdi, Benue State capital yesterday, shortly after a mass to mark his 60th birthday anniversary.

He, however, gave no further details. 37 Reps had earlier defected to APC, giving the party a clear majority in the House.

He also spoke on the threat by the PDP to strip the PDP senators who defected to the APC of their positions, saying there was no force on earth that could declare the seat of any lawmaker vacant for dumping the PDP because the constitution is very clear on the issue.

Responding to a request by the officiating priest over the Tiv-Fulani crisis which has rendered many farmers in the state homeless, Akume, who is the immediate past governor of Benue State, said the crisis should be blamed on the Benue State Government.

The Minority Leader of the Senate said he had made efforts to intervene in the lingering crisis but the matter was politicised.

The former governor said he had also suggested to the former military governor of the state to advise Governor Suswam to convene a meeting of Tiv sons to tackle the Tiv -Fulani crisis, but he said he was yet to get any response.

He said he was ready to pay for the cows of Fulani herdsmen allegedly killed by Tiv people to bring about peace in Tiv land, like he had done before.

Shortly after the mass, Akume visited the General Hospital in North Bank and offset the medical bills of all the patients on admission.

He also donated undisclosed amounts to the patients and nurses on duty.

Addressing the nurses, Akume appealed to them to be patient with their patients as sickness can make one to become frustrated.
A birthday lecture was schedule to hold later in the day.

GEJ Must Go

Game is over for Jonathan.

I support a strong opposition to PDP no doubt but Benue is a case of between the devil and the deep blue sea. Akume is as bad as Sesuwam, both the ruling party (PDP) and opposition (APC) are made up of heartless thieves. Though I see APC wining in the next election in Benue.

Any false move by GEJ now can definitely precipitate impeachment move against him.....

It's not looking nice for him......the north is now more determined to get him out.

He made two costly and strategic mistakes that exposed his gross naïveté

1: Treating the Yorubas as inconsequential

2: trying to bribe the north with heavy..juicy political appointments and other political patronage in the hope that they will soft-pedaled in their determination to produce the President


To me...he should have treated the whole South as his constituency and not just the SE & SS, by now the Yoruba media propaganda would be working full blast to support him against any Northern political maneuver.

His own choice of words and those of his aides too messed things up for him.

3: Joining forces with the east and making the region "the backbone" of his government. We all know those guys are never trusted allies of anybody. They swing where the money is more.

GEJ's days are numbered in Aso Rock!

Akume, shut up! You ruled Benue state for 8years without anything to show forth except the state was rated as no 1 on HIV infection. Today you are a progressive. God will judge the Association of Past/Present Criminals. APC

Professor Peter: Akume, shut up! You ruled Benue state for 8years without anything to show forth except the state was rated as no 1 on HIV infection. Today you are a progressive. God will judge the Association of Past/Present Criminals. APC

What's this one saying??

Na wa o. This is more serious than a heart attack!

hmm

na wa

Prostitution politics.

even if all pdp reps become apc today, GEJ remains untill he wants to stop contesting.
Get that into your thick skulls!

4. He missed the simple lecture on power matrix in Nigeria Geo-Politics. Therefore, he failed to understand the pressure points of Nigeria geo-political framework, thereby relying on rookies of Nigerian politics rather the veterans and champions.

Of all the strategic mistake made by the president, the most gravious one was to treat SW as inconsequential. SW is the pressure point of Nigerian federation. Without SW there will be no Nigeria, SE & North would ve parted ways long time ago.

That is why IBB as as General did not play with SW, though eventually he was chased out by the same SW. It was SW media that backed up Gej presidency when d cabal wanted to staged managed d situation.It was only in the SW that Save Nigeria project was held lending credence to Gej ascention to power. Obj 's voice in support to Gej made the North to back down to allow Gej to take over after Yar Adua's death. All that is history now.

Gej made several mistakes, he decipated energy on pple that have no political or electoral values. What is the electoral values o Deziani, stella, wike, maku and others in Nigerian presidential election? He made Tukur a buz man to run Pdp, he alienated all the strategic actors and gathered feather weights around himself, he himself is a feather weight.

If were d president, I will tell Nigeria am not interested in 2015. This will allow him to groom a successor, make all d enemies to back down and allow in to concentrate on leavin a legacy for himself.

Apc the end justifies d means as for gej nd pdp 5 years what hav u yielded 4 nigerians
1.inflation now i i hear $1=N170
2.ethnicity hav boiled above 100*celcius

nd pls i knw oll ov us hav passes atleast preimary skull so we can add nd mimus
so pls calculate thes:
2.5million barrels*100@international market times 365 nd times ur ans wit 160 u'll find out nigeria is soo damm rich nd we hav alliens thieves in our government soo lets join hands for change enough is enough

Is INEC not supposed to sack the reps for that? what did the constitution say?

If I hear..... Gej til 2019 or we sink dis ship called Nigeria ........ Enough of carrot hav bin deposited in d north , now is time to giv Dem stick....... Dis time dere must clearly a winner and dere must b slaves........ Let's finish dis called Nigeria . Hey if u quote me nd say rubbish den 2014 wil b a year of multiple slaps for u

So meaning by the time we approach 2015, APC will be made up of a large percentage of PDP members..


A leopard will change its spots because he has joined APC..






I remain loyal to the only truly national party of Nigeria... PDP.
And don't worry, the PDP has an ace up their sleeves. It will take more than defections by hungry politicians to unseat the PDP. Remember that the East, middle belt and South is still loyal to the PDP.. The remaining north and west will be the battle ground and all PDP needs to do their is take a small percentage of the votes..



GEJ till 2019 or no elections at all in Nigeria.

APC all the way

Goodluck kisses Aso Rock goodbye and goes into Exile with okupe, abati, shepopotamus, oduah thief, wike, deassni, okonji iweali

shaking
my legs and gazing at the sky while my bottle of ogogoro and packet of
benson and matches are by my side,what can i say?aso rock is
disintegrating

Na so dem talk for your shrine abi?

GEJ will be impeached before 2015. Siddon there dey look. Tambuwal is already APC and APC controls the house. 22 Senators will defect in January and then David Mark will either jump ship or get impeached. 2014 will define 2015. Watch and see!

kokoA: 3: Joining forces with the east and making the region "the backbone" of his government. We all know those guys are never trusted allies of anybody. They swing where the money is more.

Mr man,you sound so unintelligent.Get your facts right before allowing your itching fingers to type poo...

Hahahaaa, Nigerian politicians always looking for where their bread will be buttered. Let wait and see after 2015 what will happen to this defeacting politicians. I bet, so many of them will either move to another party or they went back to their own vomit. Time will tell

His biggest mistake is incompetence. If he were competence and had real achievements, he will stand a chance. He is politically naive and grossly incompetent!
