PDP will easily defeat APC because of Fayemi...Segun Oni would have given PDP nightmare

pajesu1:
free and fair cause I watch it

mxplosvtoluene:
Wailing wailer.
Pdp's candidate is still a siting deputy governor till this date. What's stopping him from quiting that post first?

NairaMaster1:
I remember during PDP days ( the corruptible) a minister will have to resign before vying for any political office.

But here is APC(the incorruptible). A minister contesting actively in office.

Buhari lacks conscience and integrity in reality.

OLUWANISH0LA:
But to me this is very very annoying, what kind of system of government is this..Fayemi an ex governor and presently a serving minister contest for the same governorship post he left some years back or even contest atall....

pinardave:
So another APC in Ekiti...?? The prof should be a better person than the former looter. Ekiti should deploy their education asset in supporting a professor.

Waiting for some m0rons to come bore us again with the remix of "Ekiti Rigging Tape" when the PDP makes it a clean sweep in July.

Congrats in advance to Prof. Eleka.

Bros under Goodluck,Okorocha did not resign as governor before the APC presidential primaries in lagos in Dec 2014.
If there was any law on ground during the PDP regime,he would av resigned.
After placing 4th,he went back to his position as governor of Imo state.
In as much Buhari is a madman,stop misinforming the people.

Stop quoting nonsense.... Here is what happened to the PDP ministers then. No matter how facts are twisted a simple check of records tend to reveal the truth

1.GEJ did not ask his ministers to resign. They did so cause rules were brought out by PDP before the elections to force them out. The media reported it thus

"Last week, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) released guidelines for its primaries ahead of the 2015 general elections. The guidelines require serving public office holders to quit by October 20 if they want to seek the ruling party’s nomination in the primaries scheduled to hold in November and December. This affects appointees like ministers and commissioners, as well as civil servants."

So their resignations had nothing to do with a president whose regime has been found to have promoted the worst corruption this country has ever had.

2. In the primaries that followed 5 of them lost leaving only Wike and Darius Ishaku of Taraba. However, it also emerged that though they resigned they were supported with money and logistics from Aso Rock. These created more problems for them such that heir opponents saw the contest as between them and Aso Rock. Their loses led to wild jubilations which was reported in Sahara Reporters as follows:

"Five out of the seven ministers who resigned from the President Goodluck Jonathan ‎cabinet to contest in the just concluded primary elections under the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) have been defeated, an indication that federal might is not always enough for grassroots politics."

So, please let's stop building images of integrity where none exist.

Is okorocha a PDP member? Still the APC thing sir.
Help me name a PDP member that contested in active public service.

Vatsyayana:
Your lack of knowledge (ignorance) of the law speaks volume. The law only prescribes the number of days before election, not that mere interest in a political office would warrant you to resign.
As it is he would eventually resign. didn't the former Minister for Environment resign after she was appointed by the UN? Relating this to Buhari is shallow and a display of ignorance.

IDERAWOLE:


You're right sir. Even President Jonathan too had to resign in order to contest the 2015 election according to the constitution.

how about PDP candidate, or did he resigned secretly ?

SoupEmbassy:
All contestandts who are appointed are mandated [b]by law[b] to resign their appointment before running for that position. The likes of Labaran Maku and co resigned their positions as Ministers before going for primaries. That is under the PDP administration we were insulting. Under the APC admin, impunity is allowed provided you lick Buhari nyash. Are you saying Labaran Maku didnt know what he was doing or was not enjoying his job as Minister

Clevite:

You're only lazily uninformed and inherently ignorant, my friend! A person is only required to resign or withdraw his employment in the public service thirty days before the date of election, in accordance with section 66(1)(f) of the 1999 Constitution. The election is still July 14.
