barcanista: PDP will go extinct once APC assumes power. They have nothing to offer. for 15years going 16 Years the Country has been revolving through a cycle of poverty, unemployment, insecurity, Militancy and now terrorism have been added.

I will like them to remain and be viable. They will also need to police the APC led FG. And the time they spend as opposition party, will give them time to reevaluate their policies, politics, and what interest for protect (Nigerians or some criminals). I believe voting out PDP is the first step for Nigeria as a nation to rise.

Whereas the APC does not see religion as a factor to Leadership. The APC believes in the equality of all and put integrity and competency above religious affiliations

I concur, could that be the reason kwakwaso sponsored Muslim pilgrims to hajj and refuse to do same for Christians? Bro you are loosing it, this is not banicansta of some months ago, what is the problem?

You are a Patholigical LIAR.

Kwankwaso DOES NOT Sponsor Christian or Muslim Pilgrimage. Hear his words....

"“There is nowhere Islam allows for the removing of public funds to sponsor individuals on pilgrimages,” says Kwankwaso. Admission to heaven or hell, if the scriptures are right, is strictly on personal merit. The state, a collective entity, has no business paying the pilgrim’s passage to paradise." - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/05/who-should-pay-the-pilgrims-passage-to-paradise/#sthash.kjOwv5lH.dpuf

From the article you posted.........

EXCLUSIVE: Jonathan fumes over North-West governors’ reluctance to sponsor Christian pilgrims to Jerusalem
April 1, 2014Sani Tukur
Jonathan and Sultan

President Jonathan pushes for state sponsorship of Muslim, Christian pilgrimages in spite of contrary recommendation by a presidential committee he empanelled.

President Goodluck Jonathan has accused governors of some North-West states of Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Kano, Jigawa and Kaduna of marginalising Christians in their states by failing to sponsor them for the annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem, PREMIUM TIMES can report today.

The president said this in Abuja last Wednesday when he met with a delegation of the Nigeria Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs, NSCIA, led by its President, the Sultan of Sokoto, Sa’ad Abubakar, and the Secretary General, Ishaq Oloyede.

After responding to the complaints of alleged maginalisation of Nigerian Muslims made by the delegation, the President shocked everyone at the meeting when he announced that he had his own grouse with some Muslim leaders from the Northwest.

“I still don’t understand why governors from especially the North-West do not want to sponsor Christians to Jerusalem,” Mr. Jonathan was quoted as saying. “If you sponsor Muslims to Mecca, you have to sponsor Christians to Jerusalem. If you don’t do that it is marginalization and it is unfair to Christians.”

The President then told his guests that when he was governor of the South-south state of Bayelsa, he consistently sponsored Muslims, who were minority in the state, to Mecca.

Mr. Jonathan then requested the Sultan and other members of the delegation to help pressure the governors to refrain from any form of religious discrimination.

The President had in March 2013 raised the same concern when he hosted the Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor-led Federal Government delegation to the 2012 Christian Pilgrimage to Jerusalem at the Presidential Villa.

Responding to complaints by Mr. Oritsejafor that some states from the North did not sponsor any pilgrim for 2012, Mr. Jonathan had said, “If some states are sponsoring pilgrims of one religion and leaving out the other, that is against the law. Nigeria is a secular state and so nobody should be discriminated against based on religious belief.”

At the meeting with the Sultan and his delegation, President Jonathan reiterated that position, saying the governors discriminating against Christians in their states should have a change of heart and do the right thing, our sources said.

The president spoke about pilgrimages and state sponsorship at a time many Nigerians are pushing for governments to withdraw from spending public funds on pilgrimages to Mecca and Jerusalem.

The Presidential Committee on the Restructuring and Rationalisation of Federal Government Parastatals, Commission and Agencies, which Mr. Jonathan himself empanelled, had recommended the scrapping of both the National Hajj Commission and the Nigeria Christian Pilgrims Commission.

The Stephen Oronsaye-led committee had argued that it was wrong and unnecessary for government to continue to waste scarce public funds on personal religious obligations of citizens.

The Kano State Government recently said it saved more than N1 billion following its decision to stop sponsoring pilgrims to Mecca and Jerusalem.

Speaking in Kano at the 30th Memorial Anniversary of Mallam Aminu Kano, Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso said the funds so saved was ploughed into education, transportation and health projects.


“There is nowhere Islam allows for the removing of public funds to sponsor individuals on pilgrimages,” Mr. Kwankwaso said at the event.

A source at the NSCIA-Jonathan meeting said, “We were shocked when the president veered off the issue at stake and then began to talk about sponsorship of pilgrims to Jerusalem.

“It is either he has forgotten the recommendations of a committee he set up himself or he is not interested in implementing the report of the committee.”

The delegation had visited the president to complain about alleged lopsidedness in the composition of the 492-member National Conference, saying there were far more Christians at the confab than Muslims.

According to a presidency source familiar with the deliberations at the meeting, the Sultan, who spoke on behalf of the delegation, told Mr. President that as the leader of Nigerian Muslims, he was under tremendous pressure from Muslim leaders and organisations across the country about the alleged lopsided in the composition of the conference.

He informed the president that his members were becoming impatient and restless and that Mr. Jonathan needed to act fast to defuse tension.

The Sultan, who was said to have spoken “eloquently and without mincing words”, also asked the President to do everything necessary to make the Conference succeed.

In his response, President Jonathan said he was not aware of the implication of the composition of the conference and promised to make amends, insiders say.

He also urged the Sultan and his delegation to pass extensive messages to Muslims across the country that he would not deliberately do anything that is unfair to any group or religion in the country.

The LIAR that doesn't follow activities of government thinks he can fool everybody. Kwankwaso has told religious people that he can partner to organise their Hajj but they will bear the cost from A to Z

PDP is a party that produced two university graduates as president/vp, but has not helped to develop the country in the past three years.

PDP is a heartless party that invites parents of kidnapped girls to the villa for commiseration instead of going to them.

PDP is a party that has fraud, looting, mismanagement of funds at its core & has institutionalised corruption over the course of 3 administrations.

it's obvious the guy that open the first thread is naive or don't know how opposition works in saner climes. the dude should just go and watch the legislative session of the British Parliament and see the grilling of the PM. or the Republican and Democrat debacle. every Obama move gat blocked even a last minute compromise prevented a shut down in the government working like three or four years ago.

back to the matter of this thread, anyway every sane human knows PDP is the perfect model and s.i unit of evil and all negativity. but Nigerians are programmed to be dumb and emotional fiddlesticks. with no sense of direction other than clannish, primordial, emotional decision taking and emotional thought process.

I can't imagine any sane human supporting gej, but the reverse is the case in my country. where people just wanna support a gross failure for just tribal alliances and other very laughable reasons. that makes one conclude that Nigerians really deserve all the pain, sufferings, teeth gnashing, death and misery.

As a matter of principle, I surround myself with millionaires and intellects, if i want to be intelligent and wealthy, its all in the will power and association. The question should be, what calibre of people surround Jonathan? Who are his advisers and PR guys? The answer is simply embarrassing to say the least.

On one hand you've got the militants, on the other side you have ex-convicts, pardoned thieves, that it would suffice to call the president "GEJ and the forty thieves" and you are 100% spot on.

The GEJ supporters forget so fast that they are part of the same party holding the masses to ransom for the last 15 years, PDP. The presidents handlers are incompetent in the delivery of their duties and in saner climes, they have no business in governance let alone being associated with the president. While the President makes no effort whatsoever to change the status quo, but would rather make assumptions in addressing the problem. constantly blaming the opposition for his woes, when he is the commander in chief of a sovereign nation. If the oppositions hands are not clean, make efforts to prosecute them, and if you can't then focus on delivering good governance to the masses.

When the president lists wining the african nations cup as an achievement, speaks volume about the mediocre standard set by his administration.

2.cluelessness
3. Oil theft

6. Poor educational sector

12. 'Clannishness'.

But what do we have?

1. The PDP Spokesman and her chieftains accused the APC to be "muslim brotherhood" "Islamic Party"... Thereby inciting the Christians and the muslims against each other.

2. Chief Arthur Eze, PDP Chieftain in the Presence of the President Called APC "Awolowo Party" or literally "Yoruba Party"- Thereby promoting ethnic rivalry

4. The President publicly said a particular tribe(Igbo) is the pillar of his Government, thereby promoting tribal hatred and ethnic bickering
