When have you seen me blast the president for his choice to do what is right?

philips70:


Means you still do not know me. I ABHOR corruption and all that connects to it. Maybe you think I believe the APC is filled with angels but far from it. My support for them is because of one man only and you know him. I believe in his mission to rescue Nigeria from where the PDP took it to in the last 16yrs which you attested to in your past life.
Problem is you guys and many Nigerians do not know what they want. In one hand you accuse PMB of hobnobbing with corrupt Nigerians in his party; in another hand, when he tends to take his time and kind of do things his own way thereby alienating his party, you shout to the roof top of how the man is a dictator and sole administrator.
The good thing is, majority of Nigerians are getting wiser by the day.

PDP always standing for corruption.

...

Those that are goading him on are not telling him about the potential jail time if he refuses to tap out...

His alleged offense is not criminal. There is no 'potential' jail term involved, no clemency needed.

christinie:
Mature party, unlike childish APC.

Supporting corruption and calling it maturity. Celebrating thieves and keep wondering why we are not getting any better.

Lhanre:
A party that corruptly destroyed the fortunes of a nation for 16yrs can not see anything wrong in the wrong doing of one who stole under the watch/ Umbllera

sadly your new ideal party is frolicking with the devil (obasanjo )that destroyed the country for the past 16 years.


Watcha say about that?

Halliburton scandal is a PDP scandal which Nigerians frowned upon but PDP buried the case, so PDP have always been associated with corruption.

@bolded: ...where the conduct is also a criminal offence.

Where the conduct being tried is also a criminal offense. In this case, it is not.

Yes, if found guilty, he'd loose his seat as the president of the senate and also ceases to be member. The properties under contention will be confiscated, and he will not be able to vie for public post for a specified period.
But
He's not to be handed jail term.

rusher14:
Olisa Metuh come on now.

The question that should be asked is if it is political?

Really??

Not whether he is guilty?

Is this your party's stance or your personal opinion?

If this is the Party’s stance then it's little wonder you are now the opposition.

You are free to stand behind any candidate of your choice but it says a lot about your ethics and morals as a party when guilt is thrown to the dogs.

If this is your cloak and dagger response as you plan to occupy the leadership of the house through subterranean maneuvering, then we'll see how it pans out.

All in all, sad commentary from a party spokesperson.

You should ask your Thieffnubu, your dumbest and king of the north president if Saraki has played and towed the apc preferred senate choice, would your apc ever think of trying him? Tell us your if apc is not also guilty of the so call corruption?

Mention those involved.

Rotimi47:

Saraki was not corrupt when APC presented him as their Senatorial candidate? He only became corrupt after he played APC's game on them right?

Do you know how Tambuwal became the House of Rep's speaker in the last dispensation?



Do your research first, then come back let's talk.

Thanks.

PDP has remained stronger day by day by uniting to build a very strong bonds while APC has continue to tear apart as a result of the party's western/northern factional frictions and greed for power and selfish interest among its members resulting to the disunity of the party.

Pdp still remain party to reckon with.

luche90:
All for one and one for all. This is how democracy is practiced, unlike the LEAGUE OF BASTARDS called the APC. Anyone who has a problem with Metuh's democratic statement has a problem with his father, who is nothing but a BASTARD.

You are a real BASTARD. Suicide is the only solution

IykeChukz:
What I don't condone is to aid and abait even when the truth is obvious...

Sometimes I try to compare the nature of PDP to that of black uniform folks.



Until the chips are down!

How do you know the truth is obvious? Has the CCT passed judgement? Do you have SOLID PROOF?

Before NKO!!
Aren't you guys birds of thesame MONEY, Sharing feathers?
Cos he snitched his own party for you pple, now you all are forming the "WE GAT UR BACK THING AbI?
The fly that will not hear, will be buried with the dead body while in the its pocket.

Atlantian:
PDP has been in Power for 16 years and you, from a party that hasnt not survived for 6 months as ruling party call PDP failure.I think you are stupid.

Guilty conscience.
You are right, though I never linked the failure with any noun; you linked it with pdp.

That's to show how stupidd you are.

luche90:

LASTMA TOUT learn to read. Where in his statement did the publicity secretary indicate that SARAKI is a PDP member. MUMU!

Oga,na only me get all this insults? Ok oooo,continue.

Dude, if you like, tattoo Saraki all over your body, he is going down!

CCB Trial: We Are Behind Saraki And Can’t Abandon Him – PDP... this simply means thieves behind another thief. I hope Saraki completely understands that these PDP members give a sh1t about nothing but themselves. Their plan is to use Saraki's case to frustrate and debase war against corruption, by creating unnecessary confusions...therefore, the process is delayed, and getting to them will also be delayed. But Insha Allah, everyone (one by one) of them will pay back all they have taken from us.

Saraki should respect himself and go and defend himself. It simply makes no sense to be fighting war against corruption in Nigeria when the current senate president is also corrupt. If we want this war against corruption to be successful, at least, for God sake, the president, VP and the senate president must be corrupt free...I guess, Buhari was not f000lish man when he accepted Osinbajo as his VP.
Saraki must go and clear himself, or else he should step down right away.

BUSINESS AS USUAL leadership is no longer accepted in Nigeria.

PDP members also know that if Saraki ever goes down because of corruption, it simply means that no one is untouchable; most likely all corrupt individuals all around the country will be captured and cough out all they have stolen from us.

So, in a nutshell, PDP members are not looking out for Saraki, but indirectly looking out for themselves, as usual.

IykeChukz:

Those were simple questions that you failed woefully. Apparently youve simply been yapping trash. I strongly suggest you shut it & wait for the cct to pass judgement. Kapish?

Watcha say about that?

You are the one that called Obj the devil not me. Though I am aware there are some projects whose finances appear to have some comma, no one has till the present moment petitioned him to any anti-corruption agency, and until that is done there is nothing against him. Rather than sympathising with Saraki a corruption suspect, you guys should be digging up facts about people you think are corrupt like Obj, Tinubu, Fashola,Amaechi etc who are close to PMB's govt, and present your facts to efcc/icpc instead of throwing unsubstantiated accusations on social media.
