Some ppl have issues with memories, they have suddenly forgotten what PDP did to Destroy Nigeria for good 16 years ...

arsenalLUVA:


Oshiomhole became governor in 2008(Court). Oshiomhole openly supported Gej in 2011. Told Edo electorates to vote him(He's our brother from the same region). His own party (ACN) then had a presidential candidate(Ribadu) but he didn't support him. It's alleged Tinubu even had a deal with Gej for south-west votes.

Oshiomhole contested for re-election in 2012. Gej normally and which is the right thing though looked the other way. No FG might was deployed(trying to pay back Oshio's good). Like you rightly pointed out, this place is full of fools, have nothing upstairs and swallow any garbage they see. I think the influx of kids has a major part to play. Thanks for schooling them even though they're irredeemable.

Thanks for reminding us all about what went down. But the insufferable dimwits that are crowing about the "truth" won't ever remember that Oshiomohle once campaigned for Jonathan even though he was in a different party. To them it's like he represents all the evil in this world. But again it is foolish people who will listen to this crap and call it truth. What do I know? 95% of NLs population is made up of mentally sterile doofuses

The fact is that Oshiomole (however he got in there) was a governor before Jonathan became president.
Even if he lost in 2011, that fool who wants to be president was out of point by declaring that Oshiomole would not be an ex-governor. Apparently the dude has no depth so he has to go on making frivolous and spurious claims to appear intelligent.
It makes no logical sense on the surface.

Edojoma:

Wat of his second tenure, Receive sense ooo

Another gutter bred vermin with sawdust as brains.
Apparently you left your brains in the no-bra thread.

If you are thinking you would know that Oshio would still be an ex under the said president Jonathan simply because he became governor before Jonathan became president.Read the interview again. Apparently you can't.

But after being a product of faulty contraception and weed induced ovulation, you compound matters for yourself by being a dunce.

Oga don't infect me with your stupidity.

Whats buhari's business with osun state election. That man is unserious

ozo13:
baba get ur facts Right nah. Power was also handed over from APC to PDP in kogi central senatorial district my senatorial zone.did PDP win the election? Obviously NO . APC won with that 2015 sai baba stuff but a wrong candidate represented APC .that was y court ask the said APC guy to vacate the seat for PDP.
Its gonna be a keenly contested election sha.
PDP have already brought tribal sentiment Into the game.I do hope The Yoruba will vote for Atiku/obi ticket sha leaving there own son.

which stupid son?Vp position is a useless post if we dont have sickler president like bull-hari, what has osinbajo brought to the sw? the man even rubbished restructuring he is not representing the interest of sensible yoruba but his master tinubu

Olohunjedalo:

Go and ask from your father at home

Abeg no vex,help me ask your father.

We should never reinforced failure, let failure be failure if you know, you know

OKorowanta:


Abeg no vex,help me ask your father.

Ok

Nothing but the truth. If not for the corruption that greeted Jonathan's government, it would have been rated probably the best Nigeria has ever got . He was so loved by God as everything fell in pleasant places for him, including a sudden surge in crude price, but he messed up, big time. 99% of the projects being commissioned by buhari administration are Jonathan's orchestrated projects. I remember edo, osun and ekiti states' elections in which ACN claimed their mandate via the tribunal. If it were during the apc era, the reverse would have been the case. This is change indeed. I just hope buhari would be willing to handover power if he loses next year's election, because hes a strong-headed man

I don't really understand, what u guys call corruption. In GEJ time in office, we as Nigerians, can feed and help other with cash but now every fucking thing in the MKT is expensive. Inflation was in single digit and the economy was vibrant.
Here comes the holy one buhari and things are now very expensive. It amaze me why people still see gej as corrupt and buhari as saint.
A man who disrupt our democracy in 80's
I man who prefer to hire 50 SANs just to defend his waec certificate in court
What a good man

I can still remember the january 2011 fuel price increment protest in Lagos when Jonathan sent the armed force to stop NLC protest in the state. The moment a guy was shot and killed by the police is still fresh in my memory. That incidence mark the begining of my change in interest towards Jonathan.

How about the case of FG vs Amaechi where Jonathan sent CP Mbu to terrorise Amaechi.


People should stop distorting the truth just because they hate Buhari.

Jonathan Bleep up is a straight red card. Buhari Bleep up is a straight red card. That is how I roll.

Either of Buhari or Atiku will win the 2019 election but neither will have my vote.

ozo13:
good.let me post exactly people being tear gassed while exercising there Democratic right.it happened in ekiti and national assembly in 2014 .here r the evidence.

And you forgot how the election conducted by INEC under Jonathan that brought in Fayose went. quote author=bilms post=72044732]If Jonathan did what Buhari, APC did in Osun, Oshiomhole won’t be calling himself former gov today—Olawepo-Hashim

Mr Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim is the presidential candidate of the Peoples Trust (PT) and Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) in the 2019 general election, and also the candidate of a coalition of political parties, called the Third Force. In this interview, he speaks on his agenda for the economy, declaring that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is not prepared for free, fair and credible elections next year. Group Politics Editor TAIWO ADISA brings excerpts:

You are the presidential candidate of the Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN). How prepared are you for the challenges ahead the 2019 elections?

First I want to thank God for the opportunity of being elected as the candidate of ANN. The job is to continue to educate the electorate on our intention. There are two things that people would like to know-your commitment to what you stand for and your capacity to carry through your stated objective. The All Progressives Congress (APC), for instance, campaigned on the platform of anti-corruption basically, but having been elected, the party showed no capacity to implement anything against corruption.

So, what I’m bringing to the table to the electorate is not just going to be my stated intention, but also the capacity to drive whatever I commit myself to, which they can see from my own record of performance as a businessman for 27 years. I have a business that God has helped me to build. This comes to underscore capacity. Within a short time, we’ve been able to transform ANN to the fastest growing political party in Nigeria and to a recognisable brand.

Do you believe the structure you have now can deliver you the presidency in 2019?

Well, the structure of this campaign is not just ANN as a political party. One of the things that our party adopted was a strategic alliance with a number of political parties that have already approached us to align with us with a view to supporting our political aspiration, based on shared values and objectives. So, the platform that we are going to be running on to the general election is a bit bigger than ANN.


Beyond political parties too, you must know that this is going to be a different election. What people want to see in the presidential election is a consensus leader, a bridge builder and a creative mind. What people want to see is a candidate that can unite Nigeria; a candidate that can secure the country; a candidate that can grow the economy. So, the narrative of who becomes president in 2019 is going to be different from what it was in 2015.

Just as you are emerging the presidential candidate, another faction within the party was busy addressing the media to distance themselves from what you were doing. What really happened?

You know this is typical of our emerging democracy. We have done two decades in democracy, but a lot of people are still learning democratic principle and this has nothing to do with whether you are a soldier or you are a civilian. It has to do with what background the people are coming from and all these comes to play in the run up to the primary elections and the contestations of various parties. This is happening in almost every political party and the truth of it is that once the party gathers some capacity, what also comes with it is a lot of internal contestations because people see a pathway to be interested. On some occasion, it is even people who are external parties. Once they see a party is getting strong, some oppositions to those parties get interested in the internal affairs of those parties and they begin to put their fingers and hands in such parties because they don’t want that platform to be available to contest against them. The bottom line is how are these issues resolved in the final analysis, going forward.

The next election is a different election. It’s not the type of election we have seen before. The 2019 election is a referendum on the future of Nigeria. Whether we consolidate our democracy or our democracy relapse to totalitarianism, that’s one question we will answer as we go to 2019. We would answer to whether Nigeria would continue to be a united country under God or it is going to be a country that would subsequently be enmeshed in further ethnic cleansing, divisions and religious bigotry. This is what this next election is all about; it’s an unusual election. So, the type of candidates that this election calls for are the ones who have strong values, who are tested, who have records, who have stood for principle and along the line have not compromised. All that we’ve brought to the table or acquired during the struggle against military dictatorship are going to be useful in the next election because Nigeria is facing imminent dictatorship.

With what we saw in Osun State, agents of political parties being tied to the stake and the brazen and aggressive manner which victory was snatched from the victors, the next election is going to be tough. So, it’s not a kiddies’ affair. I quite understand that the strategy of APC is to register many parties that can suck the vote of the young people who ordinarily would not vote for [President Muhammadu] Buhari. So, they want to give them as many young candidates as possible who would just be making empty noise and they go with a few thousand votes that otherwise would not have gone to the ruling party. APC is up to the game of promoting very weak candidates in virtually all the political parties, even in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). That is what they are doing in every political party. So, it’s not just enough for you to stand aloof. The same crisis is going on in APC. Every primary of APC virtually in every state is contested bitterly with serious factions and people protesting. In PDP, it’s the same. So, any party that is of consequence, you must see these internal contestations because what is going on is an organised thing.


Why are you pointing fingers at APC for what is happening in your party?

Yes, APC is responsible. Number one, these guys who are making this trouble, they walked away from ANN; they said they were not members of the party anymore. When we had the last convention, three of them walked away from ANN and they made press statements that they had left the party. And then about few weeks to the presidential convention, they came back and said we are now presidential candidates. We have organised our convention. I can understand if people can forget what happened 20 years ago. But I have no explanation for people whose memories are so short that they don’t remember what happened six weeks ago.

Everybody knows you as a person who has done well in business and you have been playing some roles in politics for a long time. But would you say you are a national brand that people would easily go for you?

Yes, I’m a very national brand. I’m more national than anybody you can present today. Number one, I am half north and half south. There is no candidate like that that is contesting. Therefore, I cannot be unfair to the North and I cannot be unfair to the South. Half of my family is Christian; the other half is Muslim. There is no other candidate like that. So, how else can you be a national brand? I have won election in this country where you have students coming from Maiduguri, coming from Yola, coming from everywhere and voting for me. I was a national officer of PDP that was elected by all Nigerians; not by one senatorial district or a governor who is just a local constituency. How national can you be? I have represented Africa in various youth fora globally. I do business in about seven countries of the world and I have visited about 29 countries of the world. How much can you be exposed? How much can you be cosmopolitan? There is no candidate is this election that has got a brand that is as national as I am.

The president recently promised the international community that his administration would deliver a free and fair election. Do you have any reason not to agree with such position?

Well, I think we will have a free and fair election by the commitment of all Nigerians. I also want to believe that those who are in the electoral agencies are patriotic Nigerians. At some point in time, they would also have to take positions as to where they want history to record them and these are personal questions that everybody would have to individually ask. But if you ask me, APC as a party and the president inclusive, have not demonstrated to me that they are committed to a free and fair election. They have not acted in any way that shows that the party is committed to a free and fair election. They have been acting like dictators; they have been acting like some fascists. But I believe that the electoral umpires can still be neutral and write their names in gold at the end of the day.

How would you justify your claim that APC is not ready for a free and fair election?

You saw what happened in Osun, the way and manner they went about doing things. That is not what happened under the watch of President Goodluck Jonathan. If Jonathan did what they did in Osun, Adams Oshiomhole would not have been governor; he would not have been calling himself a former governor now. We had that kind of election in Edo where a rerun was ordered for and all that under Jonathan and even Oshiomhole was full of praises for the role of Jonathan at that particular time. Can we say the same of Buhari? You cannot. So, we need some serious commitment from President Buhari. The man is fast losing his integrity because when you say something and you act contrary to what you say, it is called hypocrisy. But just to be clear, our rescue mission for Nigeria is unstoppable and it is not dependent on the whims and caprices of Buhari. His tenure would expire on May 29, 2019 and if there is no free and fair election by then, every legitimate means would be used to have a free and fair election in Nigeria.

Have you ever heard of ''Yoruba daemon'' before? Fear yoruba when it comes to election matters because they can disown their blood. We know how we roll our show. I remember in 1999 when obj came begging for our votes. We gave him a red card. We are tired of the APC government of lies. We will not spare oshinbajo in next year's elections
