Only a dog go back to its vomit. If you want change, is a 72years old grandfather the change you are looking for? What happened to young democratically tested leaders like Fashola,Oshiomhole and okorocha ? I know, they are not Fulani born to rule. The election is about Bhuari personal ambition and the only candidate the North can use to get power back to the north. Going backwards is not a change. Where are the youths or they have to wait until they are 72years old with little strength before they can become leader |

Scholes007: only in NIGERIA. It's not their fault, why wouldn't they call their president a fool and all manner of names. It shows that most Nigerians were not brought up in a proper manner by proper parents. They appear decent but rotten in communication style and character. The decay is abysmal and I do hope it is redeemable. |

Buhari can never be president of Nigeria because he is a thorn in the flesh of the IMF, world bank and the powerful international banking cartels that run the world, if Buhari by some fluke gets elected he will not last one week in office as the CIA will be working over time to eliminate him. He is only alive today because one of the powerful northern oligarchs protected him. by the way the west has not forgiven him for his unwillingness to adopt SAP and other starvation economic policies that the likes of Okonjo Iweala, Obasanjo and other stooges continue to implement. 3 Likes |

As if he was already preparing for 2015 presidential campaign, Yemi Osinbajo, the vice-presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as far back as August 2014 defended charges of religious extremism against Muhammadu Buhari. Buhari has now won the party’s presidential nomination and picked Osinbajo as his running mate. Responding to an attack on Rauf Aregbesola, governor of Osun state, in his re-election, Osinbajo reserved special praise for Buhari for his handling of religion when he was military head of state. He asked that credit should be given “to Gen Buhari, and his deputy Gen Idiagbon (also a muslim) who refused to join the OIC despite pressures”. Nigeria’s membership of the Organisation of Islamic Conference (OIC) resulted in a controversy, pitching Muslims and Christians against each other and stoking religious tension in the country. He said Buhari “remains the one head of State who was able to defeat an extremist insurgency, the Maitatsine” ─ referring to the religious uprising in Kano in 1980 when President Shehu Shagari was in power. Osinbajo also commented on various national issues, which were probably a pointer to the fact that he was preparing to dive into the political terrain. THE FULL TEXT IS REPRODUCED BELOW. I was greatly saddened to read the material written by Mr. Eyieyien urging “The Remnants” to vote out the current Governor of Osun State Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola and vote in Chief Iyiola Omisore. I am also still somewhat puzzled as to how what appeared to be an opposition to a bond issue and other sundry allegations degenerated to the running down of the APC as an Islamic party, a propaganda tool notoriously deployed by the PDP through its various organs. Are we as Christians now being urged to support the PDP or what exactly is the message? Reason is one of the most important contributions of the Gospel to development. From it emerged the practical concepts of fairness and justice for all, especially our enemies. Which is why lynching, even of an intellectual kind, is unacceptable. I am not an unbiased intervenor. I had the good fortune of serving in an AD/ACN government in Lagos State. The ACN is a major partner in the APC. I will come back to the PDP APC issue presently. Also, I have known Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Governor of the State of Osun, since 1999. We served on the policy committees of the then newly elected AD governor of Lagos State. He served in the infrastructure sub-committee and I, in the Justice sub-committee. I also served with him for 8 years in the government of Lagos State. He as Commissioner for Works and I as Attorney General. I developed a close personal relationship with him. His early ideological belief was shaped by Marxist-Socialist thinking, which probably influences his left-of- centre worldview in governance. His first son Kabir went to university in Cuba on a scholarship. In 2005 when he graduated, only Rauf and I attended his graduation. He is a devout Muslim but liberal in his approach to other faiths. This is not unusual amongst the Yorubas largely because most families have both Muslim and Christian members and have always interacted without rancour. Of his six siblings only one other is a Muslim. All the others are Christians. His sister who is of the RCCG is widowed (her husband died a Christian) her two sons have lived with Rauf for years, he insists that they must practice their father’s faith faithfully. They both attend the RCCG. He and I shared and still share a burden to provide honest, transparent, people-centered governance. He is a scrupulously honest person, as Commissioner for Works in Lagos State he left office without a home and no financial comforts. I know, because aside from my personal and official interaction with him, I coordinated his legal team for the reclamation of his mandate for over three years. I know first-hand, his difficulties with sustaining his family, and a small staff for that period. Not surprisingly no one can accuse him in Osun State of corruption. He is just not wired that way. Indeed, in keeping with that commitment to serve the people with complete fidelity, his major projects have been solely directed at alleviating the suffering and deprivation of his people. The hiring of, now 40,000 unemployed graduates, the provision of free balanced meals for all primary school children, provision of free uniforms, the provision of tablet computers for senior secondary school students containing all their textbooks, past jamb questions etc., monthly stipends to the elderly – all of these in a State that is the third poorest in Federal allocations and currently gets N2.6 billion monthly, a 40 percent reduction from 2013, courtesy of the Federal government. Mr. Eyieyien perhaps was not aware that even the 10 billion sukuk bond was purely for the building of 24 model state-of the art schools, most of which are now completed. The Wole Soyinka-led Osun education summit recommended the replacement of the completely broken school infrastructure in Osun State with schools capable of accommodating 1000 students with modern labs, classrooms, power and sports facilities. The idea was to use economies of scale to benefit the largest number of students. When Mr. Eyieyien describes him as “Sheikh” it is clearly to give the impression that he is an Islamic fundamentalist. The facts on the man completely belie this. First, as Commissioner for Works in Lagos State, he built the chapel at the State House Marina. Pastor Adeboye at the opening commended him and remarked that he would be a pastor soon! Within a year of coming into government, he commissioned in Ilesa the Open Heavens Christian Evangelical Arena, a purpose-built facility for evangelism which according to him was to celebrate the icons of the Christian faith who are from Osun namely- the Late Apostle Babalola , the Late Apostle Obadare, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, Pastor W.F Kumuyi and Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo . Today, his government supports the establishment of five Christian universities in Osun, including The Redeemers University at Ede, the Joseph Babalola University, Dominion University , and Bowen University. How about the composition of government in Osun State? You will notice that his critics are never able to say that Christians are marginalised in government, why? Because only Muslims can make that allegation! In the Cabinet of Osun State there are 10 more Christians than Muslims. In addition, the largest Ministries are headed by Christians – Ministries of Finance, Justice, Education, Health, Environment , Agriculture, Physical Planning and Youth and Sports. The Legislature (House of Assembly), which came into office after he won back his mandate in court in November 2010, has a majority of Christian members – 18 Christians and 8 Muslims. Everyone knows that at that level if the Governor does not support your nomination by the party your ambitions are dead in the water. The State Judiciary is headed by a Christian who he appointed although he had preferred and proposed a judge from Lagos Justice Olubunmi Oyewole also a non-Muslim. Of over 30 new Permanent Secretaries appointed by him 22 are Christians. If the majority of your cabinet (including your Attorney-General), your Legislature, Judiciary and top echelon of your civil service are Christians how can we in truth say that such a person has an Islamisation agenda? Surely the least a “Sheikh” with an Islamisation agenda should do to achieve his objective is to populate the structure that can achieve that objective with Muslims! It is also entirely false that he patronizes or uses “TAAWUN” guards for his security. It is common knowledge that he hardly even uses any security at all, except for a couple of SSS men, his monthly LIFE WALKS , where he walks alongside his people for kilometres without any significant security cordon was commended recently by a former Governor in the South East. It is incredible what prejudice can do to us. Everyone in Osun knows that the State was nicknamed “State of the Living Spring” in reference to the Osun River after which the State is named. Renaming the State “the Omoluabi State ” – meaning “the State of children born of God” or “the State of men and women of virtue” certainly gives greater glory to God. To suggest that benefiting from a Sukuk bond to better the lives of his people of all faiths, is enough to justify the grave allegation of an Islamisation agenda, is with all due respect , calling a dog a bad name simply to hang it. I agree that it may have served the politics of religion better not to take the bond, but it is a fairer judgment of his motives, knowing him, that this was borne out of his desire to serve his people well. The 24 mega schools with state-of -the art facilities is a quantum leap in education for the majority of children of the poor who before now schooled in what the Soyinka committee saw as scandalous. The alternative was not to build the schools. When a man who is doing right by the poor and deprived people he governs, is being condemned by those of us who are called to serve the poor, the sick, , the naked, and the hungry then it is fair to ask what the values in governance we really intend to promote are? In any event the alternative is Chief Iyiola Omisore whose antecedents we ought, to put it delicately, be cautious to associate with. A problem with uncritically accepting as useful advice this viciously anti-APC propaganda, is that it throws the baby out with the bath water. So we are now expected to reject the landmark achievements in Lagos, in Ogun ( the huge infrastructural developments), Oyo (which for the first time most admit is making real progress) , Edo, and Ekiti (where almost everyone agrees the governor did a good job but Fayose understood stomach infrastructure better!) Or now Kano or Rivers (where a REAL rail service is about to begin; Lagos is also about to complete a rail service amongst other exemplary achievements)! It is also false that the APC’s new executive reserved its top positions for Muslims! The Chairman of the party Chief John Odigie- Oyegun is a Christian, the Deputy National Chairman (South) Engr. Segun Oni is a Christian, so are the National Organizing Secretary Senator Osita Izunaso, Deputy National Secretary Hon. Orji Ugofa and Chief Pius Akinyelure , theVice Chairman of the South West. For what it is worth, there are 22 Muslims and 21 Christians in the APC National Executive Committee. Regarding the rather thinly veiled ‘support the PDP/ JONATHAN’ message, it is incredible that we are invited to ignore the cynical manner that our President Goodluck Jonathan uses Christianity and the church to further his political ambitions. Why are we being urged to support a PDP/Jonathan bid again? The platform has largely on account of its tragic failure to perform, decided to exploit Nigeria’s religious fault lines in the most cynical manner to win support, in the process he continues to divide Nigeria in by the far most extreme manner in our history. I have worked with many brethren since 2002 on issues around Islamization in Nigeria, in particular with Revd. Ladi Thompson of the Macedonian Initiative and the Omoluabi network. It is clear that Al Qaeda, ISIS , and more recently Boko Haram and their splinters are committed to an Islamization agenda. Their symphathisers certainly cut across all boundaries. The Late General Azazi, then NSA, pointedly accused the PDP of being behind the escalation of Boko Haram, I have that statement on DVD. The President, also openly lamented the infiltration of his cabinet by the Boko Haram. Recently a Nigerian pastor in a widely circulated CD, speaking on the Jihadist agenda accused General Babangida of funding the Islamization agenda from his days as President. Today President Jonathan’s most influential Northern supporter is General Babangida. His narrative unfortunately gives no credit to Gen Buhari, and his deputy Gen Idiagbon (also a muslim) who refused to join the OIC despite pressures. Or that Gen Buhari remains the one head of State who was able to defeat an extremist insurgency, the Maitatsine. How can we fail to see that the incredible corruption, incompetence, poverty of 2/3 of our people after almost seven years of the present government is unsupportable? How is it that Diezani’s use of 10 billion Naira to run her private jet (the same amount of money for the building of 24 mega schools in Osun!) and the complete silence of the President on this travesty does not lead to calling for him to be voted out in 2015? So the allegation of the missing or unaccounted for 20.8 billion USD with 110 million desperately poor, should be dismissed as pure propaganda? So it doesn’t make a difference to us that under the PDP Nigeria has fallen behind in every human development indicator? 55,000 women dying yearly of maternal related ailments, only recently Stanford’s Professor Larry Diamond compared the yearly deaths of over 300,000 children yearly in Nigeria to the killing of 800, 000 mainly Tutsis in Rwanda. The latter was described as genocide, what is the description to give to mass deaths of infants caused by grand corruption? We discredit our treasured platforms such as this when we mask our political preferences with a religious veil. The vast majority of our people need to be delivered from terrible want and deprivation, what is required now are capable, honest men and women of all faiths, who know that this country may not long survive the daily punishment of its own people.

Vote for PDP and bury your life. Never again will Poverty Drive Party produce president of Nigeria. This is a country blessed with a lot resources but lavish by pdp. One will think igbo people will have nothing to do with Yoruba again and this same believe cut across Hausa after Biafra but we disappoint those with perception that they are wrong. This had been the relationship until PDP came to power in 1999. They started using religion as campaign tools forgetting that a road or any infrastructure put in place by Muslim will be generally accepted and used by Nigerians regardless of their religion. If a president go to Alfa or pastor begging for prayer to do what he is constitutionally assigned to do and after becoming president he renege in his promises, such person should also be charge for mutiny, he has fail to discharge duty he sworn oath to do. It is integrity issue and to be sentence to death. I know how constitution is clear and unambiguous but meant for the poor not bonchua. Poor man steal Maggi you show his face for crime fighter. Reach man steal $20B dollars you sweep the case under carpet. What else do you need to identify failure. You poors are the one concern. Election is here again and opportunity to correct your mistake. Many of you graduated years ago without Job, even the one they publish was to kill you and reduce unemployment rate. That's the best option for them as their children with pass qualification will continue to be MD, CEO while you, having study hard and come out with good grade which its finance depend on Kunu and tomatoes sales you are now meant to be cleaner or office assistance. Your type is call tissue in their Language- use and dump' You have this opportunity to restructure your life by voting out PDP. I belt you can't wait a week to see drama playing out. One of these criminal governors that went to seek OBJ support before my watch book came out- told OBJ that he's not ready to go to jail, this particular person is most celebrated among PDP governors. Shine your eyes and this coming election is the right time to reflect our mind through ballot paper. Vote Buhari and see how hiding secret will be loosing out. Then you will know that some people are not better that goat. 2 Likes |
