Good analysis.

[b]*Re: Defection from APC to PDP and others – Another apt reaction from Barrister Raji Stephen T. Adekunle*

Obj once said of FFK that if you give him food, he would sing for you. Someone just reminded us that Jonathan had predicted in 2015 that all the PDP decampees who joined Buhari's APC would soon be driven back to PDP by hunger.

These are people who control more than 50% of the nations income in the form of bogus salaries and allowances, constituency projects, budget padding etc. Yet Jonathan predicted that they would be driven back to PDP by hunger. In a single day, over 60 legislators confirmed the prophecy of Jonathan. Obviously, Jonathan knew what kept them in his party, "yams".

It's like these people are not even afraid to let us know that the reason they are running helter skelter is not for the good of Nigeria or anyone but their daily bread. Curiously, you are still celebrating them.

Who did this to us for Christ's sake? I was once disturbed by some policies of this government and was almost regretting voting them into power until I began to see Jonathan running from pillar to post. He rushed to IBB in Minna to hold nocturnal meetings.

I saw OBJ running all over the country to hold meetings and mend fences with old sworn enemies, from Afenifere to Otuoke, from Damkwambo to Bode George. He even recapitulated to rejoin the PDP whose membership card he openly tore and swore never to participate in politics. He initially told Nigerians that he was leading a 3rd force that would not be political, but was quick to transform same to ADC.

He was recruiting members all over the country with an unbelievable desperation. I quickly borrowed myself some senses. I began to wonder whether these people are subjecting themselves to all these discomfort because of the love for the nation, the masses or their selfish interests.

Anyone who chooses to be fooled by these people should have himself and his creator to blame for his foolishness.[/b]

I reason along that line too but my bad blood was all the killings. Apart from the killings i would have want the man to stay and punish all those who voted for him, some of them couldnt drive good cars again. For the killings and being silent, i say NO to his coming back.

PMB IS ALREADY A FAILURE AND HIS ADVISERS CANT EVEN TELL HIM THE TRUTH.

I BELIEVE THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN IN 2019
In the circumstance, everyone waited with bated breath for the returning officer from Rivers State. But if they had expected a serious-looking returning officer from the battle front in Rivers State, they were grossly mistaken. An unimaginably calm Efeotor literally turned his own declaration of results into a session of comedy.

It began with INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega’s observation that unlike other returning officers before him, he was not reading his own results from the original result.

“Prof, I observed that you are not reading from the original result sheet,” Jega said.

“Yes sir,” Efeotor concurred.

“But you have to read from the original result sheet. That is where everyone reads from.’

“Okay sir.”

By the time Efeotor resumed reading, he went back to the sheet Jega said he should not read from.

“But Prof, I told you to read from the original,” Jega protested.

“I am reading sir,” Efeotor quipped.

“Yes, I know that you are reading, but not from the original INEC master sheet.

“I only read typed materials sir.”

Efeotor attempted to read from the original result sheet but could not make progress as the figures he voiced out did not correspondent with those in the copy Jega held in his hands.

After a few attempts and repeated correction by Jega, Efeotor protested: “Sir, I told you I only read typed materials.”

“But Prof, who wrote the figures?” Jega asked.

“I did, but under special conditions?” Efeotor responded, sending the audience into a bout of laughter.

At this point, an INEC official, who felt that additional light would help Efeotor, brought a big phone. Still, the professor could not make progress.



As he struggled to read with the additional light from the phone, the INEC official appeared with a halogen lamp.

“Thank you!” Efeotor exclaimed in a tone that set everyone reeling with laughter. But even at that, he still could not read.

At this point, Jega suggested that the INEC official, who had been supplying the additional light, should read out the results while Efeotor supervised.

Efeotor’s action, especially his claim that he wrote the results under special conditions, has since provoked a debate as to whether his action at the collation centre was natural or orchestrated to achieve a desired end. Some say the professor could have deliberately generated the drama to douse extenuate public apprehension of what had transpired in Rivers State during the elections or generate a comic relief to douse the tension generated by the cantankerous action of a former minister of Niger Delta, Elder Godsday Orubebe, who a few minutes earlier had nearly subverted the announcement of results.
