Buhari is president already.

OKDnigeria:
Palpable fear has gripped Ogun State
governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun’s
camp following the defection of eight lawmakers to
the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, and Social
Democratic Party, SDP, in the state.
Speaker of the House, Suraj Adekunbi disclosed
the decamping, yesterday, during plenary,
while reading a letter announcing the defection of
eight lawmakers to the PDP and the SDP.
Adekunbi said: “I received a letter announcing the
defection of Messers Joseph Adegbesan, Salmon
Adeleke, John Obafemi, Remmy Hazzan and
Obafemi Olowo-Oloja to the PDP.
“I also got three letters this morning from Hons.
Olufemi Allen-Taylor, Oludaisi Elemide and
Elizabeth Anifowose announcing their defection
from the All Progressives Congress, APC, to the
Social Democratic Party, SDP.”
Adegbesan, Adeleke and Obafemi had dumped the
Peoples Party of Nigeria, PPN, to join the PDP
while Hazzan and Olowo-Oloja also dumped the
APC for the PDP.
Allen-Taylor, Elemide and Anifowose who were
members of the APC defected to the SDP.
Vanguard gathered that the development has sent
jitters into the APC camp of Amosun as the
governor was planning to present the 2015 budget
proposal to the state House of Assembly on
November 18.
The Speaker who also read the governor’s letter
during plenary said he will present the fiscal
proposal at 10. am.
According to him; “This is in accordance with the
provision of section 121 of the Nigerian
constitution.
“Governor Amosun expressed gratitude to the
members of Ogun State House of Assembly for
their cooperation with the executive,” the letter
said.
The House after the latest defections is divided into
two main camps with 13 members including the
speaker in Amosun’s APC faction, while PDP and
SDP also have combined figure of 13 lawmakers.

This is Amosun' s problem not APC. APC owns Ogun State.

Just imagine this nonsense.

That's Dumbo' s master warning his servant. Keep away from their quarrel.

honestly whenever i read report like this i weep for dis country.i blv recruitment into Nigerian army has bin bastardised.merit has bin overlooked,tribalism has eaten into almost every arm of government,nd dis is d sad result

Read the article carefully. This is leadership failure. A battalion of 300men is a degradation of the usual Nigerian Army manning levels. Where did all the others go?. I would like an immediate retirement of Badeh. The Chief of Army Staff should also be invited to a one on one interview with the President. They are destroying the fabric of the Nigerian military. We have never had it so bad. When you keep a battalion of just 300 men, you better have the airforce on standby with good close air support combat jets ready to intervene when the men are overmatched but this was not provided. Shame on the clueless Commander In Chief. Shame on Badeh and shame on Minimah.

tochukwuifeduba:
no if Jonathan wins he will simply declare total , absolute and comprehensive war against Boko Haram. Boko haram will be crush before June 2015 if Jonathan wins.

Full scale military invasion of Northern Nigeria by the Army will commence

We have seen the maximum possible from this man and it is underwhelming for now. Jona has no control over the army. The soldiers retreating from Boko Haram are not doing it out of cowardice but serious sabotage caused by frustration. Now what is happening now is that we trust MOPOL more than the army to fight Boko Haram.
You cannot believe the corruption and how it has weakened that institution. You can do the experiment yourself, if you are leading a body allow indiscipline and corruption to take hold then come tell me how successful you have been. That is hat the army has been turned to. A battalion gets depleted to just 300men, the rest AWOL. Weapons unguarded.
Is it this president that will declare total war on Boko Haram?. Abet let us talk the truth for a change.

masseratti:
The part I laughed about is Niger delta people calling Gej to come and become their President seriously?You mean tompolo,Asari,boy loaf will allow Gej to leave abuja and start all over again in Niger delta? Do you think if we asked the Niger Deltan's to choose among themselves,a good leader be Nigeria President do you think they will honestly give us GEJ? Gej was imposed by Obasanjo who in turn was imposed by the Northern Elite,both of them were never the choice of their people,southwest or south south.

I have said this same thing many times. GEJ is the Niger Delta's second eleven. He does not come close in terms of pedigree, charisma or clout. If there is a ND republic today, Jona is off to live in Europe. Definitely not ND President material by a long shot. They would however inflict this same man they cannot allow to govern them on Nigeria as a punitive measure purely out of wickedness.

Jonathan made several promises aimed at wooingthe mammoth crowd but was reminded by the PDP Governors’ Forum that the road to the February 14 poll would be rough.

This was polite information to the President from Akpabio who knows a lot that the election is already lost by PDP.

Nctrice:
I think his kinds would have agreed without thinking twice, because all they think about is their personal gain, and what they intend to benefit in the short run... it's his kinds that has placed this country where we are today. And the president is trying to right their wrongs and they are calling him Clueless... sometimes I wonder if politician think all Nigerians were fools, even if all Nigerians were fools, the truth is we can't be fool forever!

GEJ is the one fawning over the western world. Buhari was anti west when he was in office. Nigeria was on the road to economic independence GEJ and NOI meanwhile have squandered all the reserves built during the OBJ regime and have returned Nigeria to a debtor nation. More loans are coming with oil at $78 a barrel. Ngozi will take loans for anything and Jona does not know enough to stop her.

bossmini84:
And u think elections are won on the internet

Maybe but they also can be rigged on polling day if that is what PDP is planning.

Princewill1:
A former slave who took a bold step to liberate himself from the shackles of slavery.Unlike U who is still a slave and in the slave concentration camp.

Went to the best of schools and had the best of lives when money was still money. Successive governments stole your own childhood, are stealing your present and making a play at stealing your future yet it is FFK you are calling a former slave. I think he was ok in APC and would regret his move to PDP but definitely nothing 'slavey' about this guy.

Ngwakwe:
Even if mother nature forgives him and he survives tills 2015, I wouldn't encourage anybody to vote for him.

He loves power and have no mercy.

He don't care if we all get burnt provided he regains Power.

Everybody in politics likes power, if you dont believe that you have my sympathy. I like the no mercy nature of Buhari. There has to be retribution against occultic looters of our treasury. It is going to happen soon believe it but better it is from Buhari than a younger angrier group of radicals.

PointB:
Buhari would have signed it, without thinking!

Buhari that rejected IMF loans and world bank directions. Buhari who paid up all our debt?.
Dont even go there, you be small pikin in political economics.

Princewill1:
They should go and die! Gej has already tore and thrown this EU-Ecowas trade document into his trash cane.Ghanian president wanted to drag Ecowas into this rubbish,but thanks to Gej who saw the future and quickly rejected the agreement and now they are begging.They want to turn us into their dump site,they should pls look elsewhere.

GEJ saw the future?. Maybe not. I would thank the Minister of Trade first. Aganga thank you for lecturing our Presido effectively. Knowing him it is not easy, so thank you.

I watched yesterday in amazement, the speech of President Jonathan as he declared to run a 2nd tenure of his Stealing-Is-Not-Corruption system of Government and wondered why the President could not pause his Tel-prompter and observe a full One-Minute-Silence for scores of School children, whose lives were cut shut by the terrorist attacks.

When he called for One minute silence, I was appreciative of the gesture, but before even those that were seated could stand, the President was already off to his business of promising the same things he promised in the last elections and numerating some of the things he have done.

It is very shameful that not only could these kids not be protected as Nigerians, the President is also too impatient to observe a minute silence.

He was nervous and jittery. Trying to catch up with the teleprompter. I don't think this man gives a shit for any bombed out 10-year old. He was like let me just get through this speech, shake a few hands and go back home abeg.

APC is not a northern party. The hidden principle of zoning has merely thrown up a northern presidential candidature for now. The East is in line to take it after the north. The problem the South has now is that there is a non performer in office.

Let the country collapse if GEJ loses the election. It is going to collapse if he wins the election anyway and it is already collapsing now. The military will take over. They will arrest all politicians, seize private jets, freeze accounts having more than 1billion in them. They will also clamp down on Niger Delta militancy in a way that would be bloody for the region. Boko Haram will be destroyed in a very heavy handed way. Nigeria might lose a million people but the country will never break up.

What is the meaning of this post?. What do we have on ground to justify studying any Nigerian politician's MO, talk less of GEJ?. Dispensation of patronage. bribery, begging. Please tell me what they need to learn in university about this

It is important to realise that this is one of the most ridiculous statements coming from a sovereign country. The US does not have an obligation to sell anything to Nigeria. They have not even sold weapon systems to us ever so GEJ should stop deceiving us and himself. This govt keeps calling them allies whereas to all intents and purposes they regard us as competition in political, economic spheres. Regarding us as competition is a mark of respect. Let us diversify our sources of weaponry to China, Pakistan and Russia and also develop stuff locally.

Ologunjude:
The past leaders didn't do much as well. There were some in power when the country was boiling but they came out of it victorious. Are you guys implying GEJ has given up already on BK? Almost a trillion was budgeted for security in the last 7 years. Where is this monies? Our army do not have what it takes to fight this guys. The gov't smell of corruption every where you look. Impunity has set in. These are some of the major issues why you can't fight this war. No presidents in the world would celebrate when kids are been slaughtered.

Please take out the military regimes and do your assessment again. GEJ is the worst civilian president we have ever had. On every scale he falls short. Even Shagari built up the military, developed agriculture and was doing balanced development all over the country.

I am not of the northern cabal but even I don't want GEJ to continue.

Woooof. Finally it is over.

Ibo boys have messed up the audio. Keep it up.

He is declaring to the teleprompter. The teleprompter will vote for you. Everything looks 'wash washy'.

No political exiles and no political prisoners. I give you that one GEJ. I won't vote you still but thanks for being liberal with opposition.

Hummmppph. The thing don dey finish sha. Na wa. Even Peshe is getting bored, not that she understood a word said.

Definitely teleprompter and too many details. This is a Prime Minister's speech, not Presidential at all. No vision thing, no inspiring quotations. Just like a minister giving a presentation. Too long and drab.

aryzgreat:
Hater.

Oga Jonathan is ontop of his govt

His government is actually on top of him. Think carefully about that.

berem:
Very true! Just noticed it.

Agree it might be teleprompter, the glasses he changed was to see the hidden screens well. If you listen carefully, he is reading the speech from somewhere not reciting a crammed speech.

UpLoyo:
Keep sucking on the clueless clown dick, there goes your future; you are impressed because of an empty speech? There's a thing called YouTube you should check it out for what 6 graders are able to do...

Na technology dem dey take confuse you. Ask Jona why he changed glasses before reading the speech.

Adminisher:
Memorized speech or is it audio prompter. Dem don coach am well.

E be like na Google glass the man dey use.

Memorized speech or is it audio prompter. Dem don coach am well.

Just 20 seconds for bombed primary school children. Hmnnn!!!.
