The elections of 2015 have been prophesied to
be the most interesting Nigeria has seen, and
for a number of reasons. Most intriguing are
the comments some of the political players
have been making. From the insensitive, to the
brash, to the downright stupid, we present the
10 biggest mouths in Nigerian politics.

1. Doyin Okupe – The Presidential spokesman
is not known for shying away from a media
fight, Okupe (unsuccessfully) tried to paint the
criticism of GEJ the pardon given to ex-governor
Alamasiegha as ethnic bigotry by saying the
following;
“How come granting pardon to him has become
an aberration? Is it because he is from Bayelsa?
Is it from he is from South-South? Is it because
he is connected to Mr. President?”

2. Femi Fani-Kayode – The controversial ex-
minister has had a lot of time on his hands
since being out of power and has taken to
Twitter to express his opinion on the topical
matters in Nigeria. Watching the Presidential
Spokesperson, Rueben Abati, defend the
president’s controversial pardon of convicted
thief, Alamiyesiegha, he had this to say;
“I listened to @abati1990 on Channels today
talking about the state pardons and I must
confess that I have never heard such rubbish, I
am beginning to suspect that @abati1990 is the
biological product of a same-sex marriage. He
looks and sounds like the missing link.”

3. Pastor Tunde Bakare – The outspoken liberal
Pastor, who is a well-known critic of the current
political state of affairs has managed to
ostracize himself from the official opposition
when he was asked his thoughts on the (yet to
be registered opposition party) APC, the
erstwhile CPC Vice-Presidential candidate and
he said,
“If the devil becomes a Pastor, Nigerians will
attend his church because they don’t know the
true church and they cannot distinguish it from
the synagogue of Satan”.

4. General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) – This is
one politician that needs to be most careful
with his public utterances, considering the
leadership position he enjoys in the opposition
party. GMB, as he is widely known offered these
ill-advised comments on May 14 2012, in
reference to the 2015 elections;
“If what happened in 2011 should again happen
in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the
baboon would all be soaked in blood.”

5. Kingsley Kuku, who is a Special Adviser to
President Goodluck Jonathan on South-South
and Niger Delta issues, recently made a
moronic statement about Nigeria’s prospect for
peace, failing a successful GEJ re-election
(suffice it to say that the president himself has
not admitted to being interested in another term
in office);
“Permit me to add that the peace that currently
prevails in the zone is largely because Dr.
Goodluck Jonathan, who is from that same
place, is the President of Nigeria. That is the
truth.”
“It is only a Jonathan presidency that can
guarantee continued peace and energy security
in the Niger Delta,
The attention and interest of the US in Nigeria
must remain the stability of the Niger Delta and
the easiest way to ensure this is to encourage
President Jonathan to complete an eight-year
term.
The agitators are prepared to patiently await
development as long as one of their own, Dr.
Jonathan remains the President, and I think this
is one thing the American government should
reflect seriously

6. Farouk Aliyu – A senior member of the CPC
and a losing gubernatorial candidate from the
2011 election decided to engage Kuku in a
game of idiot stake by issuing the following
statement;
“Let me also use this opportunity to say on
behalf of us in the north that nobody has
monopoly of violence and that on behalf of the
people of northern extraction, there shall be no
one Nigeria if a northerner is not
elected president of this country, because
politics is a game of numbers and
the Ijaw people are not up to one million or two
million or even five million.
“So if in a democracy, the President will allow
somebody to say if he is not voted, there won’t
be peace – this clearly shows that they don’t
want peace and the president is not a
democrat.”

7. Junaid Mohammed – A retired doctor and an
elder Northern politician, threw down his own
gauntlet in the bid to be the most fearsome
chest-thumper in the cause for his own region
and ethnic group, and saw the following in
response to Kuku’s statement:
“As it stands today, anybody who imagines that
he will build Nigeria in spite of the wishes of
the North is dreaming. We are not lousy, we are
decent and quiet people, we only talk when we
have to. We said, look, this is getting
embarrassing and does it mean that without the
South we cannot survive? That without the so-
called oil or without Lagos we cannot survive.
And does it mean everything produced in Lagos
is consumed by Lagosians? Go and check your
facts.
“On the whole, we will be better off if push
comes to shove, we will go our way because if
Nigeria breaks up, God forbid, Northern Nigeria
is the only zone that can remain one, the South
mainly the Yorubas will go their way, the Igbos
will go their way.”

8. Asari Dokubo – The rotund ex-warlord is
known for his inane utterances. He is,
unfortunately, not short of people willing to
shove a microphone in his general direction.
Below is an excerpt of the bile the creek general
has been spewing recently;
“We will match violence by violence. We will
match intrigues by intrigues. We will match
bullet by bullet. We will match blood by blood.
We are ready for them. Goodluck Jonathan will
complete his tenure of two terms whether they
(northerners) like it or not. To us, they don’t
even exist because we pay them. He who pays
the piper dictates the tune”

9. Olisa Metuh - National Publicity Secretary of
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) recently
had quite a bit to say to Governor Adams
Oshiomole of Edo after the latter in a chat with
journalists called the PDP a party of rogues and
corrupt people. Of all he said, this hit below the
belt the most:
“Is Adams just realising how bad our party is
and was all the while he was begging for
membership?”

10. Doyin Okupe (again) - This time he was
talking down the merger of the Action Congress
of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive
Change (CPC) and the All Nigeria Peoples Party
(ANPP) to fuse into the All Progressives
Congress (APC). He described it as an
“incongruous alliance of political weaklings,
dysfunctional Lilliputians and repeatedly
frustrated political power mongers.”
To be honest we just put that in for the big
words.

To be honest we just put... Pls who are the we?
You and who? Is it a collective thread? Whose interest are u projecting? APC social media errand boys

Cant you see apc chieftains there.....must u comment...fish brain
