barcanista: Permit me to remind You that Fayemi and Aregbesola secured their respective victories in 2010, Months after Jonathan assumed Presidency? Jonathan Assumed Presidency Feb, 2010.

Under Jonathan, Opposition parties won elections against PDP Incumbents (Nassarawa, Imo, Oyo, Zamfara and Yobe). Pro_Jonathan incumbent PPN of Ogun State also lost to opposition.

Inasmuch as I want a change in administration, let us also give credit to Jonathan's government in areas they achieved.

NgeneUkwenu:

Can you also remind me what happened to the then President court of Appeal, Justice Salami who against all odds made sure the landmark judgments were delivered?

Also in your warped logic, [s]we should give credit to jonathan for "allowing" the opposition party win some states?[/s] Meaning we should be readying a thanksgiving to Aso Rock for the imminent victory of Aregbesola?

Barcanista, I am done with this argument!

Thank you!

barcanista: Permit me to disagree with you here. It is not civil to call the courts of the land "Yeye". Let me remind you that the same "YEYE" Court has made several landmark Judgement against the PDP incumbent.
1. 2006. The same "Yeye" Court sacked PDP's Ngige and installed APGA Peter Obi as the rightful winner of Anambra Guber.
2. 2006/2007: PDP dominated house in Anambra with backing of the PDP's hierarchy impeached APGA's Gov Obi. Gov Obi went to COURT. In 2007 PDP's Andy Uba was declared Winner and Sworn in as Gov of Anambra State. The Court Sacked Uba and Installed Peter Obi citing the illegality in his Impeachment. As at then, Peter Obi had a frosty relationship with PDP and PDP/Obasanjo were desperate to install loyal Dr. Andy Uba
3. 2007: PDP had impeached Ladoja as Governor of Oyo State in 2006. The Court upturned the decision and installed Rasheed Ladoja as Governor till the end of his term in May 2007.
4. 2007: The Same Yeye court sacked PDP's favored Gov Celestine Omehia of Rivers State to install Hon. Rotimi Amaechi
4. The same Court sacked PDP's incumbent ovs. Olagunsoye Oyinlola (Osun), Segun Oni (Ekiti) and Segun Agagu (Ondo) and installed AC's Rauf Aregbesola (Osun), Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti) and LP's Segun Mimiko (Ondo).

In addidtion, the Court has sacked senators, reps etc and installed the "rightful" candidates.

If there's any party in Nigeria that has benefited from the Judiciary, It is the opposition specifically AC/ACN/APC. It won't be proper to put aspersions on state institutions no matter what.

obayaya:

Barcanista!!!!

This is the kinda image the opposition should project to the people to win their confidence!!!

Nice one bro

OP!!! APC should stop playing "Brazilian soccer". We've seen the masses protect their votes in the past. it happened in Ekiti. it happened in Imo. We've seen the courts return stolen mandates over and over again.

It's so unfortunate that APC stalwarts keep making these kinda statements that portrays them as desperate. This isn't the kinda opposition Nigerians yearn for.

obayaya:

Barcanista hit a nerve? Sorry!!!

But he's saying the truth. If you will support APC's parallel government because election was rigged, I believe you won't have a problem supporting soldiers burning BRT buses because a BRT bus killed a soldier.

What's wrong is wrong and can never be right no matter how you try to twist it

barcanista: I even forget to add Oshiomole sef

barcanista: I mean we should give credit to Jonathan that he didn't interfere with INEC's process in 2011 unlike his predecessors...Yar Adua(Ekiti) and Obasanjo. I don't think the emboldened is necessary

Opiosko:
Oga i told you oo! decamp now before it is too late, if they don't infest you with Ebola anger, they will frustrate you out. El rufia that's grandstanding today was on the run during his brother Saint Yar'Adua's regime. Ribadu was on exile after being humiliated severally. Ibori was living larger than life. These are facts that are stranger than fiction today in the eyes of desperadoes.

barcanista: "We will make Nigeria ungovernable IF PDP doesn't return power to the NORTH"- Lawal Kaita, PDP Member

barcanista: No, I don't support Party leaders on this. We can't resort to act that is capable of anarchy in search of Justice. I support resisting every attempt to subvert people's will by using any means LEGALLY

NgeneUkwenu:

Na so my brother! Even Bode George, Alamiesigha, Buruji, Almustapha, Mohammed Abacha and other convicted criminal during the Yardua are now being treated to Red Carpets by Ebola jonathan! No?

Descartes: "The National Chairman of the All Progressives Party (APC), Chief John Odigie Oyegun, yesterday in Osogbo Osun State, promised that the party will set up a parallel government if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) attempts to steal peoples’ mandate during the 2015 presidential election. "—Source

Validated:

APC cannot dare it. They should not forget where MKO ended. I used to admire Oyegun, I actually campaigned for him to be governor of Edo back then in school against Lucky Igbinedion as SDP candidate. Since joining APC, Oyegun has become something else.

My question is, must you issue such statement and threaten the very foundation of the country? Now the North would capitalise on this to cause more mayhem as it is already apparent that APC cannot win the presidency.

NgeneUkwenu:

So you mean opposition didn't win some states under Obasanjo or Yardua? Or elections were not upturned during Yardua's time? When did that of Oshiomole, Amaechi happen?

Why did you conveniently leave out the first paragraph of my response about Justice Salami? And what is happening in Adamawa, Edo, Rivers etc shows that jonathan actually respects the will of the people or the elected officers?

Nctrice: that he is a founding father of the PDP does not make him any less a tribal bigot and an APC loyalist!

barcanista: Obasanjo rigged his way in some SW states in 2003 notably Oyo state using Pa Adedibu Lamidu(the acclaimed Godfather of Ibadan Politics). Under Obj, though PDP lost Kano and Bauchi states, but these ppl here are "not smiling" so its dangerous to rig kano and bauchi were buhari enjoyed cult following. But PDP was declared winner in Ekiti, Osun, Ondo, and Edo States. Ogun State was seriously under contention b4 AC candidate Otunba Dipo Dina was murdered. It was under yar adua dat court sacked Andy Uba, Osunbor (Edo) and nullified Ekiti election. Yar Adua supervised the Sham election in the same Ekiti that returned Oni only for the court 2 nullify under Jonathan's regime and bring in Fayemi. Salami's case was unfortunate but did he come victorious? Yes.

I must admit to you that Salami, ACN, FG and NJC erred. Why?
FG acted well by approving the recommendation of NJC to suspend Salami Ayo. But FG erred for refusing to install him though it may be due to perceived partisanship.

Salami erred by refusing his "promotion", thereby passing d message of his alleged partisanship.

ACN(then) erred because of their public opposition to Salami's removal. Morally, they weren't justified based on the allegation of "padi-padi" judgement by Salami (their ally).

The NJC erred for sending suspension recommendation without preliminary investigation.


Please let's appreciate Jonathan for the way he distance himself for Inec. I condemn his use of Military in full.


As for harrassment of Opposition leaders, I so condemn that. The military and the police should be non-partisan and professional. However, I was disappointed that it was Rauf Aregbesola that requested for DSS Agents for security, yet the party leaders complained. Ordinarily, I expect INEC to take care of that and it should be Police Force and Civil Defense. DSS have no business with election matters. The military could patrol but not involve. Civility is the best

NgeneUkwenu:

I Love the way you are mentioned FG in the case of Salami, while leaving out jonathan whose table the bucks stops but very convenient for you link jonathan with your supposedly "good work" of INEC!

Please Barcanista, call a spade a spade! Jonathan purposely refused to reinstall Salami because he felt, Salami will further deplete PDP's fortune by leaving him to administer the remaining judgments!

So leave ACN, PDP or Salami in your fantasy argument. Jonathan should bear the blame for choosing reports/judgments that suits him to implement.

I think, I have done enough now, to show you how, jonathan has been meddling with the affairs judicial arm of the government.

Good day!

Papertrail11: nigerians are suffering under fis pdp govt there was money during objs tyme pple builf houses a large no of nigerians were gettn money at least....

naija economy is not doing well undr dis pdp govt make dem comot...abi nlers una lyke to suffer

APContherun: Very irresponsible coming from an elder statesman who should think before he talks. I bet he doesn't know the implications of this careless statement credited to him. No where have I seen the opposition form parallel government upon losing not even in pseudo democracies like Myanmar, Turkmenistan, Zimbabwe etc. What responsible and mature opposition do on losing is utilizing all available legal and lawful means to claim its mandate if it feels rigged out.
APC keeps redefining the word opposition on daily basis, what they have stated is a recipe for mayhem, chaos, anarchy and violence and Nigerians won't forgive them for setting the country on fire.
The constitution has provided means and ways by which one can claim what it feels is his, anything short of that wont be accepted, APC be warned.

NgeneUkwenu:

You and I know, the Ekiti Election was not rigged, hence the silence from the people. Check out the desperation of the unpopular Omisore in Osun state, where he feels, Fayose won because of Federal might, and therefore the same should be extended to him, regardless of what the people want!

Descartes: This is one of the reasons Metuh branded them as supporters of APC

gboss4sure: APC will soon get what they are looking for. TROUBLE, no one should complain when a crackdown on these terrorist party happens. APC will only rule their mama and papa, what are these guys threatening the peace of Nigerians at any given chance what is the difference between apc and boko haram, me don tire for this yeye party o

NgeneUkwenu:



Which Yeye court? PDP's court? The same court Ebola jonathan has infected with corruption virus? Are you living in planet Mars Mr. Man? Forget about that option, the road had been taken thrice and it led to nowhere, hence why Nigerians keep on suffering! Trust me 2015 would be more than an election year! It WILL be a A Year of LIBERATION!

barcanista: Making such statements is just as bad as anything else in a civil setting. Nigeria is so "multi-tribal", the people won't go to the street on behalf of politicianns because they see all as one and d same. Our best bet is @ the poll, the APC should preach guarding of votes and insist on credible election observers rather than such statement. I am confident that APC will win if it fields the right person. PDP has no business in Aso Rock
