Professor Tunde Adeniran is the party's electoral officer for today. SaharaReporters contacted him twice last night to clarify allegations that Chief Anthony Anenih (Mr. Fix It) had forced party delegates to be accredited in Governor Lodges of the various states as opposed to a general accreditation process, but twice the professor politician told our reporter that he was busy in meetings with the committee saddled with conducting a "free and fair " election today.

Early today, a PDP delegate sent us this message: "The PDP Presidential auction was over lastnite with each PDP National Delegate giving the Egunji of $7.000.USD from Aspirant GoodLuck and $5.000.USD from Aspirant Atiku.

So we are smiling to the eagle sq to vote the highest bidder Goodluck.
Its Over and may God Save Nigeria from this corruption. We have sold our VOTES.

Citizen reporters said there was traffic jam last night at the Aso Drive in Asokoro area of Abuja as bribe money was being moved around from both sides.

Na so OOO my brother . When the results are announced later today one camp will celebrate as if they have all just won the lottery when , in reality , Nigeria is the big loser with how the choice of who becomes the candidate of the ruling Party falls between two very poor candidates who simply represent 4 more wasted years for our Nation and the continuation of "more of the same" for folks like Anenih who have destroyed Nigeria. This is why El Rufai states that the 2011 elections may be a waste of time:

2011 elections will not save Nigeria, says El-Rufai  
By Abimbola Adelakun    
Thursday, 13 Jan 2011    

The former FCT Minister, Mallam Nasiru el-Rufai, has said that except for a miracle, the 2011 elections will not bring much change to Nigeria.

He said the candidates that had so far presented themselves for the election did not show they had a clear understanding of the problems facing Nigeria.
“On April 9, we will be voting for a president but nothing is going to happen. But this is a country where miracles happen. So, except one does, Nigerians will make a Hobson’s choice.
“The candidates are not talking of issues but zoning. The little they have said are lies. They are lying. Anybody that says he can fix electricity problem in one year is lying. They say various things but ask them how they propose to solve them and they don’t know how.”



Mallam el-Rufai spoke at the first year anniversary of the Save Nigeria Group, which took place in Lagos on Wednesday. At the programme were Prof. Pat Utomi, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Odia Ofeimun and Joe Okei-Odumakin.

He lamented the state of the nation, saying that the systems had fallen apart. He spoke on the decay of the educational and health institutions and added that it was important for Nigeria to find out when things started going wrong. He argued the Jos crisis had lingered because those that caused the crisis were not punished.

“People have even forgotten what started the Jos crisis. It started with the creation of Jos North Local Government. Some people who settled there happened to be Christians and some people felt that for that reason, they could not have a voice. When it first happened, nobody was punished and that is why it has continued.”
He said the Boko Haram was not a religious crisis either. He described the group as a band of frustrated young men who had turned to anarchy to fight a system that had been so unjust to them.

He also outlined a four-point project, which he said would help Nigeria move ahead. He said the Nigerian government should be cut down to size as too much money was being spent on people who were of no benefit to Nigeria. He decried the high level of indebtedness in the country, saying that from the 2011 budget, it was obvious things would get worse.
Utomi, while speaking at the occasion, enumerated the problems of Nigeria and said that Nigeria would need a national strategy that would help her advance.

Why should you blame them? When even the top music artistes are selling themselves and singing songs for corrupt politicians.
PS : Remind me to become a pdp delegate

I dont know if i should cry or laugh but can these delegates not use their brains and vote their conscience. I dont blame them for collecting the money at all as it is their money but at least vote with some intelligence and not the highest bidder.

Are those collecting the "money" from Pluto? No be we we?

I wonder how much they ve given d nigerian main stream media to keep dem shut and make dem look d other way as always?

Systematic corruption can only lead d country moreand more into oblivion,an elected official in that instance is illegitimate

^^ Main Stream Media Lol!!! No one can do anything even if someone records ATIKU giving out stolen money! Nothing would be done!

How true? Thank God saharareporter will soon smile to the court to defend their news(es)

How true? Thank God saharareporter will soon smile to the court to defend their news(es)

Same thing here, delegates to the Enugu convention were paid N120k each to vote sullivan. Pathetic.

So!! Its their choice jor.
Its their fingerprint not yours! They can vote for whoever they like.

I have said it and will continue to say: we need nothing short of a Rawlings approach to getting all the “dead wood” out of politics.

Things are going from bad to worse. POLITICS is the only means to being rich at the moment in Nigeria.

Are we really ready for democracy? because what we are currently practicing is demonstration of craziness.

GEJ might have been a good choice but he is too busy trying to clinch power. Also too many people placed him in power which he needs to please.

Nigeria needs help:  military where are you?

Mobinga:

Are we not talking of the same main stream media that actually took an oath of secrecy with the Yar Adua Govt , "in the interest of national security" , that prevented any of them , back then , from revealing the truth about Yar Adua's real state of health to Nigerians when our former President was rushed abroad for treatment?  Main stream media is heavily compromised and nigh useless in Nigeria . That is why saharareporters and 234next , with all their faults , still stand head and shoulder above others as purveyors of news that show Nigerians what is actually going on.

Yemi Sowore, please provide proof and stop this wild and baseless allegations!.

We suspect you are on the payrol of the ACN people but concentrate on selling your party (ACN).

Mobinga:

So!! Its their choice jor.
Its their fingerprint not yours! They can vote for whoever they like.

But the money belongs to all of us.

Jonathan Alleges Plot to Bribe

The Jonathan/Sambo Presidential Campaign Organi-sation has said it has unravelled plans by rival presidential aspirants to induce delegates to today's Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) national convention with huge sums of money in order to sway their votes.

In a statement signed by its Director of Planning, Research and Strategy, Dr. Mike Omeri, the campaign organization advised delegates to reject "the Greek gift" and "vote for the transformational leadership represented by President Goodluck Jonathan".

Omeri said: “Information available to the campaign organisation indicates that a rival presidential aspirant has raised funds from within and outside the shores of Nigeria for the purpose,” adding however that the Jonathan team "is confident that delegates are very responsible and would not fall to cheap inducement that is capable of mortgaging the future of the country".

The campaign's chief strategist said the delegates are too decent to be manipulated by "desperate politicians who believe that money could buy anything under the sun".

Omeri was optimistic that Jonathan would pick the PDP ticket with ease because "he has been accepted as the Nigerian consensus candidate and not otherwise", saying, "We are not disturbed because apart from Jonathan being the Nigerian consensus candidate, he is also a divine intervention who is ready to spearhead the transformation of Nigeria from the doldrums of the past to a glorious future"

Does anyone believe that folks like Anenih et al are busting a gut helping Jonathan because they want a better Nigeria? hell no !!! Those guys are all expecting to treble their wealth , with "our money" , under GEJ. If Atiku wins na the same story because he comes with his own greedy cronies who will have to be 'fed' as well. PDP must go and they will . Just watch guys . I don talk am . Nigeria has always been difficult to keep together but with some lightweights now running the show , shortsightedly, selfishly and pugnaciously ,  the centre will not hold.

Joke aside are u guys telling us that the pdp presidential primaries has been concluded? If no, lets reach the bridge b4 we cross. If yes lets have the detailled scores of of each aspirant.

i wonder if the press is even our friend

babaearly:

i wonder if the press is even our friend

An emphatic NO in Nigeria's case.

Is there hope for this country ? I wonder sometimes but i would keep the faith and keep hoping. I just Buhari/Ribadu become president and put this rogues where they deserve.

They are laughing
We are crying
This is bad and calls for the Jerry Lawrence options.

Guys, Guys, Guys!!!!


Please believe Saharareporters with caution. Their credibility is in doubt.

We know money will exchange hands as it has always been but until other news sources confirm the figures, I will not take SR seriously.
