Omexonomy: APC stealing to sponsor terrorism since 1621 (seun osewa)

gramci: supporters of APC stealing to sponsor terror

BY Salisu Maradun

Gusau—The official mace of the Zamfara State House of
Assembly was yesterday broken following a free-for-all on the
floor of the House between members of the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC, and the opposition to propose a
bill granting the state government the permission to secure N3
billion loan from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, as members
of the opposition PDP strongly rejected the idea saying that the
government must first of all, give the break down on how the
money would be spent.
The position of the PDP members led to a heated debate on the
floor of the house leading to a free-for-all. The mace which is
the symbol of authority of the Assembly was broken to pieces
during the melee.
Speaking to newsmen shortly after the crisis, the Minority
Leader of the House, Ibrahim Dole, said the PDP members were
informed on June 23, that there would be a sitting to pass a
resolution on the government’s proposal to dispose its N24
billion shares from the Niger Delta Power Holding Company but
added that the date was postponed without their knowledge.
About 19 million units of the shares belonged to the state
government and the 14 local government areas of the state.
He said: “And even the day the session was eventually held,
some members who were absent were marked present, while
some us who were present were marked absent and above all
they failed to produce the order of the proceeding that day.”
Efforts to speak with the Deputy Speaker, Mohammed Abubakar
Gummi who chaired the sitting proved abortive.

iluvnaija: A sensible and visionary leader won't do this. A society where there's no accountability things like this happen. Is he spending his personal money? Answer is NO! Is the money spent on this is in 2014 budget? Answer is NO! So where is the only coming from?

Politicians spend public funds anyhow without sense of reasoning. Imagine President Obama giving a community in South side of Chicago 400 bags of rice for Thanksgiving.

Wow! We breed brainless leaders in Nigeria.

I’m ready for PDP forces – Aregbesola


Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, has said that he is
prepared to face Peoples Democratic Party forces in the
August 9 governorship election, insisting that he will win the
election by popular votes.
Aregbesola, who spoke in Osogbo, on Saturday, warned the
PDP against rigging the governorship election. According to
him, the PDP does not have the support of the masses like
him.
When asked how his party would react if there was an attempt
by security forces to restrict its leaders and members,
Aregbesola said nobody could stop the people of Osun from
exercising their civic right.
He said, “I’m a product of the popular forces, by popular
forces, I mean the people, I emanated from them, I’m a product
of their struggle. I’ve interacted on a daily basis with the
people from the outset of my administration. They know me
and I know them. I have affected their lives through populist
programmes.
“I’m from the street and it is easy for me to go back to the
street because that’s where my people are. Can they (PDP) go
to the street?
“They don’t know who they are facing; my real home is the
street. Look at me, do I look like a governor? That’s why I call
my administration government unusual because we need to
bring passion and vision into governance and break away from
stagnating ways of doing things.
“Let’s meet on the street. My administration has the full
support of the masses.”
But the Minister of State for Defence, Mr. Musiliu Obanikoro,
said the PDP would stop the APC from rigging the election.
Obanikoro, who spoke with our correspondent in Osogbo, on
Saturday, accused the APC of planning to rig the election,
stressing that the PDP would resist the alleged attempt.
On the allegation that the PDP is planning to militarise Osun
governorship election, Obanikoro explained that there was the
need to provide the electorate with a level playing field devoid
of harassment and intimidation.
He said, “We are not here to capture Osun. We want people to
come out without any fear or intimidation and cast their votes.
The noise, the hullabaloo that you are hearing is because they
want to rig. We know them too well with their capacity to rig
election. They are not for one man, one vote. They have been
importing people into the state.” -PUNCH

Jman06: APC propagandists have failed again in their campaigns of calumny against the president. Bad news for APC e-rats on nairaland.

Kairoseki77: Wharton, Harvard, INSEAD, etc.

I hope our zoologist President is not firing this man out of anger at Sanusi's letter.

Gboliwe: Most of us are used to traffic jams on our highways, Lokoja- Abuja's isn't different. What we (users) complain of is the everyday fatal accidents on that road. Who is a Nigerian who doesn't know of someone that died on that road. If its the dualisation thta will stop the accidents, then kudos, but if its just to ease traffic, I'll suggest the fund be pushed into another worthwhile project
