2015 is the bone of contention.

bakynes:

Guy the camera is a security Camera more like a CCTV camera installed in the Governor's Lodge, that is why we ve been clamouring for a state poilice that will be funded by the state govt bt not controlled by the Governor. GEJ has been using the Police to tournment his Political Opponent.

. How can a state government sponsor the police force without the direct interference of the governor.

aventura: All na noise. On a serious note, I really pity this Governors. Come 2015 when Jonathan wins his second term, He will hunt them down just as Hitler hunted down the Jews. They know it, that's why they are fighting him. They forgot the First Law of power: NEVER OUTSHINE YOUR MASTER. Jonathan will show them why he is the Commander-in-chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It's a pity that they did not learn form the Ibori story. Amaechi's file has already being prepared and kept for him. They will start from the $50 million plane he bought in his name. Abdukadir kure is now lined up for a ministerial appointment to checkmate Babangida Aliyu, Same applies to Na' abba in Kano. As for Ahmed, he is the "brunt of the litter". When Jonathan is done with him he would prefer the condition of Suntai because he would be messed up politically, spiritually and psychologically.


Need I say more?

Amaechin is the one I pity most. He's an ibo man (no matter what any body says, whether ikwerre or ndoni) yet prefers to wine and dine with the northern hausas. They dont like him neither do they have his intrest at heart but know it is to their advantage to solicite the support of a southern man in their fight against GEJ but unfortunately for amaechi he's not smart enough to decipher between a shovel and a spade. He's so confused thats why he was known by a yoruba name (rotimi) and when it didnt favour him he adopted an ibo name (chibuike meaning God is my strength). Very soon he'll adopt an hausa name. He can be likened to a bat which to some is neither a bird nor a land mamal.

gerald09: After reading d article carefully I must ask 3 questions, who brought the camera? If the governors did, den what were dey expecting? Was it staged in other to make it look like a Nigerian problem rather than what it actually is, (a party problem)?, cos dis days na Stella dey head d news.

Are You a suckling to know how to use your phone to take video clips?

@Bakynes, pls read ur comment again n tell me if dat comment is coming out from a sensible person. Hw can u fund an organisatn or agency without influencn or interfering in their biz? One mre thing, wat is tourment? Is dat anoda way of spelling 'torment'?

aventura: . How can a state government sponsor the police force without the direct interference of the governor.

Is the State Govt only about the Governor. The funds to run the state police will come from the Commissioner of finance of the state with the approval of the Governor bt there will be an Autonomy for the State Police on its own. Whether the state Govt likes it or nt they must fund the state police. That is proper way to practise a democracy.

. People fail to understand the true identity of Jonathan. They see him as indecisive but they fail to understand that Jonathan is in the league of Ibb in manipulation and deception.

Wash a dog, come a dog, a dog will still be a dog! Now, crawl back to your cave.

Spelling errors thats what u shd be looking for, thanks for d correction anyway am on the road and am using my phone. You don't see things from my own perspective so you don't ve d right to assume am nt a sensible person. In a true democracy is the funds from the Governor's personal account? So many organization needs autonomy in this country, we need to adjust our constitution if we are to move forward.

hehehehehehehehe!!! hahahahahahaha!!! i cant laugh enough, in the league of ibb in manipulation and deception? The dude cant even manipulate his wife or children, na Nigeria e come fit manipulate and deceive? Bunch of drunk fishermen comedians.

Next time, vote wisely!

alaoeri: All these men in uniform used by the federal might to fight the opposition should just pray that GEJ should remains in power beyond 2015 & should retire by 2019, if power changes hand & they still remain in service they 'll be disgrace out of service.

oh yeah! They will be disgraced out of office for doing what? You have just shut urself in d leg with ur comment. You are invariably saying that when u are power, then its ur turn to use power arbitrarily. In other words, the powers that be now have a right to use d police anyhow they like since its their time. Your hypocrisy always makes u stand out bro. @post, if the court has declared d rebels and their activities in using d name and logo of pdp wether old or new, then thheir association is illegal and must be stopped! That any association is peaceful does not make it legal. When cultist convene, is it legal. When robbers convene to plan their strategy, is it legal?

raytony: Who was that wise man asking them to find a solution to boko-haram? Na their work? Was the DPO not suppose to be someone else fighting crime rather than intruding a harmless meeting. Somebody should tell Major-Gen Goodluck Jonathan that even if they were declared illegal by a court of law, that does not stop people of like mind from meeting. After all, no be party convention dem go. Its high time Government stop using these weak institutions of the state to intimidate opponents.

.....and its high time daft dumbos like u got ur dammn arsses busy n SHUT D FUCKC UP!
@op.that scrathed patched faced lamido whatever his name is was apparently n deliberately bursting up his damn lungs out,to move that diplomatic dpo,who was under orders,to take drastic steps,out of annoyance thereby portraying GEJ,in their failed bid,in more bad light...more like whipping up dirty sentiments, to continue to instigate da ppl against da president. They are nothing but damn thugs,group of conspirating,farting n illegal idle grunts n that damn dpo shuda made history n inscribed his name on some famous book by getting their damn honorable arsses arrested....

Well if you want to know; "The Punch" newspaper had been in existence before your parents met each other. It was, and still is, owned by an Ibadan man. Now, go back to riding your "Keke Napep".

In 2011 we talked and we had the last laugh. 2015 will not be different. The only problem is that the likes of you will not be available (online). Time will surely tell.

I agree at the bolded. But it will take a long time before we are able to practice that kind of democracy. Until then, it's a capital NO to state police.

wales: A two-minute 22 seconds video detailing the encounter between five of the seven rebel governors in the breakaway faction of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Divisional Police Officer of Asokoro Division, Abuja surfaced on YouTube on Monday.

The DPO, Mr. Nnanna Ama, was said to have led a detachment of policemen in three trucks to the Kano State Governor’s Lodge where governors Rabiu Kwakwanso (Kano), Chibuike Amaechi (Rivers), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), Aliyu Babangida (Niger), and Murtala Nyako (Adamawa) were having a meeting.

In the video, Lamido was seen shouting at the top of his voice when Ama, who was putting on an orange T-shirt, walked into the meeting venue in company with some plain clothes policemen.

Ama, who had asked to see the host, the Kano State governor, might have resorted to speak with Kwankwaso in private on noticing the way and manner still and video cameras were directed at him as he insisted that he wanted to see “his Excellency.”

But Lamido, who was sitting on a sofa, hit the table intermittently and yelled at Ama, saying, “The governor (Kwankwaso) is here. Talk to him. What do you want from him? We are meeting alright. So, talk to him.”

At a point Lamido, who was obviously infuriated, stood up and ordered some of their security aides, who were in suit, to push the DPO out of the meeting venue.

One of the people sitting next to Babangida held Lamido in the hands and led him back to sit down.

“Push them (DPO and his men) out,” Lamido yelled.

One of their (rebel governor’s) security aides, who wanted to take action after Lamido gave the order, looked at the DPO eye-ball to-eyeball and asked, “What do you want?”

But the DPO replied that he had informed him before being taken before the governors.

“I have told you,” Ama replied, nodding his head.

In the course of the said invasion, Ama, who was seen smiling at intervals, tried to move in the direction of Lamido. But two of the security aides present held him from the back and prevented him from going further.

However, a scuffle was prevented as Ama, who appeared to have been treading cautiously, simply moved back without challenging the duo. Lamido reiterated his order and shouted again, “Get out. Who the hell is he?”

While the video lasted, some of the aides who witnessed the scenario were heard from the background asking if the DPO’s mission was to arrest the governors and other members of the breakaway faction attending the meeting.

Amaechi, who was also present at the meeting, was sighted in the video discussing and gesticulating with other attendees. At another time, Amaechi was seen rubbing his palms.

Kwankwaso, who crossed his legs while the altercations lasted, hinted that he was available to be briefed on the DPO’s mission.

“You can talk to me,” Kwankwaso told the DPO, who soon moved towards the governor to have a discussion with him. The video later went dead.

Meanwhile, mixed reactions have greeted the alleged disruption of the rebel governor’s meeting, with some people arguing that police “invasion” of the venue was a breach of their constitutional right to freedom of association and peaceful gathering. But others argued that since a court of law had declared the New PDP illegal it ought to have put a stop to calling and holding meetings.

A YouTube user, Adeolu Moronkeji, after viewing the video, wrote that it was wrong for a police officer to harass democratically elected governors who enjoy constitutionally guaranteed immunity on the orders of the powers that be.

She added that the invasion bore the hallmarks of the Presidency.

“This is very embarrassing. Is Nigeria a God-forsaken country? It appears that the era of totalitarianism and fascism is looming in Nigeria. GEJ na wa o!” Morenikeji wrote.

Also, on punchng.com, a reader with the name Gidi stated, “ If the New PDP is illegal, does it mean old friends cannot meet anymore? Is it that the powers that be don’t understand the fundamental right called ‘freedom of association’?

“Do they need to take a refresher course on the provisions of Nigeria’s constitution? Are we still under military rule? Even during the Abacha regime people still had some rights of association and movement. When is it a crime for one to host colleagues?”

But also on punchng.com, a reader, Fidel, said it was high time the rebel governors started expending their time and energy on productive endeavours that will better the lot of Nigerians rather than their incessant meetings which, according to him, were heating up the polity.

Gidi wrote, “These rebel governors could have been better appreciated by Nigerians if they have been spending the quality time they expend to transverse the length and breadth of Nigeria on finding a lasting solution to the menace Boko Haram that has ravaged the north.

“Almost on a daily basis, innocent people are being killed but that seems to mean nothing to the eyes of these so-called rebel governors and yet they said that they are fighting for justice. So what justice can be better than saving people’s lives? Instead they are seeking political recognition which is nothing but their selfish desire.”

The writer of the above article is a dullard of lowest order. Democracy does not support acts of lawlessness. In all democratic nations, any gathering other than the low class social ones, probably done in rented hall or personal residence, must sue for permit from law enforcement agency. It is very undemocratic for elected governors under a certain political party platform to engage in closed door meetings without directives from party’s national secretariat.

In fact, the actions of these governors amount to subversion, the fools should have been arrested and charged for acts of treason.

It is even worse in the eyes of so-called democrats the idiotic governor called Sule Lamido has no respect for the law of land. The governor’s actions stems from the culture of impunity which lends credence to rampant corruption found in Nigerian society. It is unfortunate Nigeria has such a moronic writer who pays lip services to the imbecilic governors and spews crap for societal consumption.

Abdukadir kure is now lined up for a ministerial appointment to checkmate Babangida Aliyu, Same applies to Na' abba in Kano. As for Ahmed, he is the "brunt of the litter". When Jonathan is done with him he would prefer the condition of Suntai because he would be messed up politically, spiritually and psychologically.


Need I say more?

You must be a graduate of 'University of Thought',a renowned palmy and dog meat joint in Uyo.How well did GEJ deal with the Yar'adua cabal?
We are already in the post-GEJ era.

Even if they dont respect GEJ they should respect the nigerian law,the court has already declared them illegal so why are haters dancing naked with this G7 guys?one even said is it their job to protect their citizens from boko haram,....who is the state chief security officer?innocent people are dying in their states and some progressives are clapping for Governors dancing naked in public,....please dont allow the hatred for GEJ drive you mad

Sweetcollins: Hmmmmm, odikwa serious. I like Sanusi's charisma though

My guy, even the court ruling that says they are illegal can be appealed in a law court and they have the right to meet anywhere to plan how to go about it.

Where is the link to the video?

Hmmmn

Like someone said in the other thread- you just cant 4ck with kwakwaso and go scott-free...

Odikwa very eegwu...

SO you are lending credence to the fact that His Excellency is by no means partial? Hope a thorough investigations can be done in respect of the aviation minister's imbroglio and all the suspects would rot in jail. I mean equity and fairness for all!!!
Sword of Damocles dangling. Justice should be blind?

This is interesting. . . I just wish we could have Sanusi Lamido/Rotimi Amaechi..or have Buhari/Rotimi Amaechi

I'm disappointed at what you typed going by your moniker of GrandMaster which implies that you may be a lover of chess. You should know that Mr President is the main character while others are just pawns. He is playing the game in a subtle way that when it hits the viewers, they would definitely not see it coming. The man is coy, pretending to be weak so that he can garner sympathies from the populace. I strongly believe that he would be the harbinger of OBJ's downfall.
NA MUMU TYPE DEY WORSE PASS. Like the movie "Lucky Number Slevin"

We are already in the post-GEJ era.

and why if I may ask would Jonathan deal his ex boss boys? He had total respect for yaradua for handpicking him in the midst of heavyweights to become his running mate so everything he did was turning a blind eye to all the events of the yaradua days. On his inauguration night, he observed a one minute silence in honor of his late boss. Everything thing he did for the above.
