[size=13pt]Petitioner asks court to nullify former Senate President’s election[/size]

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/petitioner-asks-court-to-nullify-former-senate-presidents-election/

Makurdi – The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the March 28 senatorial election for Benue South, Mr Daniel Onjeh, has asked the Justice Mosumola Dipeolu-led National Assembly Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Makurdi to nullify the election and order a fresh election.

Onjeh said this on Thursday during the adoption of the final addresses of all the parties in his petition challenging the election of Sen. David Mark of the PDP in the election.

He said that the result forms produced by INEC did not reflect the actual votes cast during the senatorial election in the zone.


The petitioner tendered several relevant documents, including his written statement, on oath and certified true copies of result sheets from the nine LGAs to prove his case.

In his submission, counsel to Onjeh, Mr Tunji Oso, alleged that Mark was prophetically declared the winner by INEC while collation of results were still ongoing in seven local government areas of the zone on March 29.

Oso further alleged that there was no evidence of holding of election or collation in 107 polling units across the senatorial zone as form EC8A (1) for the said polling units were not produced by INEC.

He submitted that the results of seven local government areas, Agatu, Obi, Okpokwu, APA, Ado, Ogbadibo and Oju which were proved to be collated on March 29 could not be part of the votes upon which Mark was returned since he was declared winner on March 28.

He urged the tribunal to expunge the votes of the identified local government areas from the total votes of parties where Mark supposedly polled 99,538 votes while Onjeh polled 50,115.

Oso pointed out that votes were only validly collated in Ohimini and Otukpo local government areas where Onjeh polled a total number of 16,033 votes while Mark polled a total of 27,137 votes.

The Petitioner’s counsel insisted that more than half of the votes cast and more than half of the polling units where elections were supposed to have been held were vitiated and invalidated.

He, therefore, urged the tribunal to nullify the election and order for fresh poll.

Oso noted that it was a settled law that where more than half of total votes cast or half of total polling units is vitiated, the tribunal ought to nullify the entire election.

However, counsel for Mark, Mr Kenneth Ikonne, urged the tribunal to dismiss the petition, arguing that all the allegations in the petition were criminal in nature and the onus rested on the petitioner to prove it.

Ikonne said the petitioner alleged irregularities, malpractices, allocation of votes, multiplication of figures, over-voting, over accreditation, concoction of results but failed to prove his case.

Counsel for PDP, Mr Chris Alechenu, aligned himself with the submissions of Ikonne and also urged the tribunal to dismiss the petition.

The Chairman of the tribunal, Justice Mosumola Dipeolu, commended the parties in the matter and informed them that judgment date would be communicated to them through the tribunal Secretariat.(NAN)

Flets:
Before the noise, let's clarify somethings

This project started early engineering in 2012 and progressed into proper r execution in 2013 by three major EPC contractors

This project will add 65KBD only at ppeak production envisaged for 2016. Early wells are producing 10KBD as at today

Thanks to GEJ who insisted that all major fabrication be done in-country despite efforts by the contractors to move it in their home countries. Nigerdock, Aveon, Globestar etc were key beneficiaries.

The local content is a major achievement of the GEJ era that I cannot fault. It is of immense benefit to the country.

disloman:
Bro!U know shit.U want to compare d current running thru high tension wire to d one supplied into d house?Do u know d amount of current ur body can tolerate?Bro!stop lying.

It is you that actually don't have knowledge about this. Why not make your findings before spewing trash.

This one you are screaming stop lying portrays you as an unintelligent person. An intelligent person when confronted with facts will counter it wt valid points. Moreso when even given a similar case study.

How come u fail to pick where I said an electric current can only shock when it flows from a body to the earth.

Exercise your brain Kid.

disloman:
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.Bro!u can lie oooooo.Devil sef go dey fear u ooo.

That u don't have knowledge of something does not mean u should be accusing another person of lying.

I have done a lesser one myself as demonstration during my undergraduate days to show that electric current can only run through a person that is earthed.

I placed a blanket on a plastic chair, I then stood on the blanket on the plastic chair and touched a live wire. I didn't feel any electric shock despite the current in me. I asked my spectators to use a tester on my body and the tester showed light, even though I didn't feel any electric shock.

What made this happen? It is simply because I was not connected to the earth, a person feels electric shock just becos the current flows through the body to the ground. When the connection to the ground is taken a way and the current is not extremely high to the point of arcing, the person will not feel an electric shock.

Although I have never tried that of the mains homes and shops connects to. But as I mentioned earlier, I have seen an electrician that touched it with his bare hands and there was light, and he was not electrocuted. You can make your independent findings about this, and the come back and apologise to me.

Based on my background I didn't attribute what the electrician did to superstition or funny assertions that he held his breath. It was simply because he was well disconnected from the earth. He was midair resting on a perfect non-conductor.

disloman:
B4 any work bn carried out on high tension wires,Power will have to bn switch off.With ten gloves,U will still b electrocuted.

I have seen an electrician touch a high tension wire with current flowing through it with my own eyes and he was not electrocuted.

TonyeBarcanista:
This article was written to justify PMB's stoppage/suspension of the 2nd Niger Bridge project. We have serious challenge in this country. Since coming to power PMB made sure that he set aside some funds for the rebuilding of the North East. But he was quick to cancel/suspend the 2nd Niger Bridge project after N10billion has been released as part of the FG obligations all in the guise of 'the project was overpriced'. How can one compare the 2nd Niger Bridge project that with the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge that wasn't built to carry heavy-duty trucks? Since time immemorial the eastern people have been advocating for this project but someone just wake up to reverse/suspend it. We are all aware of the Lagos Rail project reversal by Buhari during his military regime.

Anyway, we shall watch to see whether the FG will reproduce a better deal and get the contractors back to site.

Typical PDP supporter, putting a little bit of ethnic sentiments in your response to garner support from the tribalists.

Typical Barcanista, already making wild allegations in write-up, but now trying to somewhat portray a balanced opinion in the closing to fool superficial readers.

I have been wondering if it was actually you that was back, but your pathetic writing patterns of mixing half truths, making wild baseless allegations and then asking rhetorical question to seem unpartisan has convinced me you are one.

In some instances to justify your highly biased opinion, u put some references containing only part of the entire picture. Chai, keep wallowing in the exhortation of 'only' your gullible party members.

Your writings show u intend to do only one thing, sway opinions in any way possible. You already have the xters of the Nigerian politicians our generation will do away with. A typical political jobber. If you have a political ambition which I guess is your ultimate aim, you have to stick to justice and equity and mother nature will favour u at the right time.

But trying to play on the intelligence of people will not get u anywhere.

Back to d matter, it is a silent truth that the bridge is too expensive and skewed to the detriment of the Country in the way the contract and concession was packaged. Any patriotic citizen will support the review being carried out by PMB on the concession.

And why should it be the second major bridge that connects the SE to the rest of the country that should be tolled??

Is any other major highway tolled in the country??

Are we saying given the strategic and economic potential of the SE, the FGN under Jona cannot afford to build d bridge for the total amount of 117 billion??

Have u even tried to think it out, that the excess money on the subsidy fraud of 2012 can easily pay off this bridge??

I'm sure if it is PMB that plans to build an entry bridge into the SE with the mindset of tolling it, the whole news media will be bubbling with criticisms upon criticisms on why PMB is doing that out of hatred and wanting to hold d SE region down, and that this is non-existent in any other part of the country.

But what do we have from u guys as regards this project, silence, silence and even unreasonable support for it.

May God open your eyes.

There was no election in Rivers. Let everyone go and prepare for a fresh election.

Well, bigotry and chronic political partisanship seems to be a better motivator than sound reasoning.

No matter the points and valid reasons brought forward, they will never listen, they will never agree.

I'm afraid because they are also kind of passing this across to some hardcore PMB supporters thru their hate of him.

Since they have decided not to see reasons, they constantly attack and vomit virtuperations on PMB based on false info, silly info, half-truths and real truths in some instances.

Supporters of PMB wants to have his back, and provide him with the moral support to succeed, and are also gradually being radicalised supporters of PMB who doesn't want to see any mistake done by him.

This negative chain may continue this way. Only God can break Nigeria from this vicious cycle.

Why is Wike releasing press statements about a case in court? This man is just too crude. Who does he think he is, declaring that a witness is lying. This is highly extrajudicial and he should be called to order.

The people that even wrote the release for him are as dumb as he is, trying to use a fact-finding mission embarked upon by the INEC Commissioners sent by Jega during the presidential election to justify a gubernatorial election conducted a week after.

Just go to Court and defend yourself. Simple.

emperorchedda:
All these dump PDP supporters don't understand what was written

And who said PMB was dumping Rochas, Amaechi or anyone who worked for his election? It will shock you all to see Amaechi in a graceful position in Buhari's cabinet

This news just says Rochas didn't do enough to win eastern votes for APC not that he was getting abandoned, moreover whoever said this isn't PMB nor Lai Mohammed

Funny enough, the person that said it is even an Igbo man. Osita Ikechukwu.

Vondata:
APC are bunch of betrayals. Okorocha was d only igbo govt dat tried for APC during campaign.
They jst wana make APC full Northern party. Ingrates

Do u guys read the story fully at all? The person that made that statement against Okorocha is an Igbo man!

Thisday is just trying to embarrass APC, by naming APC as the source of the outburst instead of naming Ikechukwu Osita.

Cutehector:
lmao.. Naah. Maybe he wants d backstage office.. Amaechi will forever remain buhari"s right hand man...

I just love d way buhari is makin dis ministerial appointment suspense filled... D list will just shock everybody..

I'm a core PMB supporter, but sincerely I'm tired of the suspense. He should just name his cabinet and let the ball start rolling.

Rivers poll: No election in Obia-Akpor Federal Constituency, say APC witnesses -

The All Progressives Congress, APC, witnesses at the Rivers National Assembly and State Legislative Election Tribunal in Abuja have said that there was no election in Obia-Akpor Federal Constituency on March 28.

They made the allegation when they testified at the continuation of hearing at the tribunal on Thursday.
Mr. Anthony Chindu of APC, who contested National Assembly election in the constituency petitioned Rep. Kingsley Ogundu of PDP, the winner of the election.

Chindu had earlier in his petition told the tribunal that there was no election in the constituency.

The witnesses were Nwosu Michael, Alhaji Ali Bilyamin, Mathew Chike, Chukwuma Akane and Stanley Odum.

At the resume hearing, Odum an APC party agent in ward 13, unit 13, told the tribunal that INEC provided all the electoral materials in the unit, aside result sheet.

Odum added that though the electorate and all party agents requested for the result sheet, they were not given.
He said, “no result sheet, no election till everybody left around 6:30 p.m.

Another witness, Michael, a party agent in ward 12, unit 18, also confirmed that there no election in the area.
“I was there when INEC arrived with electoral materials, which excluded result sheet, they promised to bring the result sheet before accreditation but failed to bring it till evening,’’ he said.

He said he was shocked when Kingsley Ogundu of PDP was announced as the winner of an election that didn’t hold.
All witnesses presented to the tribunal by their Counsel, Mr B.E.I. Nwafor (SAN), were put on oath before the resume hearing of the case.
All the witnesses also told the tribunal they had submitted written complaints to the police in the various polling units in the constituency.
They added that they reported their observation to the chairman of the APC in the area.

Justice A. M Pindiga, the Chairman of the tribunal, adjourned the case till Sept. 11, for continuation. (NAN)

The PDP and their host of senseless supporters really messed up in that Rivers election.

The PDP would have still won that election albeit by a lesser margin. But APC would have gotten some State Assembly seats including at the minimum 1 Senate and House of Rep seat.

But in their attepmt to embarrass Amaechi, massage their own ego and cover up the fraud of the presidential election they engaged in what can be described as day light election robbery!

This was also replicated in Akwa-Ibom and partially in Delta.

What I find difficult to understand is how sane human beings and even educated folks will be supporting this fraud.

Some blockheads are even already threatening fire and brimstone if the judgement of the tribunal did not go their way. It is this kind of threat that made the tribunal agree to relocate to Abj to ensure their safety. Let them continue threatening the tribunal, they are indirectly giving the tribunal more evidence on how the election actually was.

If the PDP is so sure of wining Rivers 10 times over if rerun is carried out, then they have nothing to fear for, they have nothing to shout for, they have no reason to be soliciting public sentiments and they definitely have no reason for their media rantings.

IbnSultaan:
God bless you both and guide you
in reviving our dear Nation.

Amen.

And the people will still gullibly vote the PDP that has done nothing save impoverish the people of Bayelsa the more. The irony of life.

Imagine this thieving Alamesiegha trying to use tribal sentiments to campaign.

This is the hallmark of the PDP. When they have nothing to show, when they have no projects to use as evidence that they performed, that is when they will start appealing to tribal sentiments.

Now, this thieving Alamesiegha has declared that the PDP is the Ijaw party, and he tried to justify himself that it is so because Jonathan emerged as president.

Why can't he brandish all the achievements of the PDP to the Ijaw people instead of the self achievement and enrichment of the Jonathans and their cronnies.

How has Jonathan as president affected the general ijaw people save some specific individuals?

How has the presidency of Jonathan significantly reduced the environmental pollution of Bayelsa state and indeed the Niger Delta.

How has the presidency of Jonathan brought more developmental projects to the Bayelsans?

How has the presidency of Jonathan improved the social-economics of Bayelsa state.

How has the presidency of Jonathan ensured that the 'settlement' released by oil companies is used to build projects where everyone will benefit from and not just for the community leaders to pocket?

How has the presidency of Jonathan blocked all the loopholes where the public funds of the Bayelsans are been diverted to personal pockets as was the case during the administration of Alamesiegha?

Alamesiegha that is supposed to be stoned by the people for stealing their commonwealth and disgracing them in his attempt to evade the law is coming out to campaign for somebody. Chai, Nigerians don suffer. If it was in a more civilised society, that candidate would have automatically lost the election.

But this is Nigeria, where tribal sentiments is more powerful than critical reasoning.

I wish them well.

What awful cacophony. A dirge. The lamentation of a group in mourning, with their procession swinging and swaying towards the graveyard.

I mean, stop the prevarication and stick to a story.

Is it islamization or Occult?

Except they choose to merge the two, and I'll say little wonder they lost the elections. They would definitely not endear themselves to a large swathe of voters, with their compulsive need to malign.

They are evidently confounded by the turn of events and this is a wanton display of their confusion.

The viewing public can only look in amazement at the exhibition of lunacy that they choose to display.

Is this the opposition for the years to come?

Accept our belated condolences.

Sleep in peace... if you can.

What a nice piece.

Femi Aribisala lol The hate-filled old man. The Wailers Grand patron and Fellow of the Chronic Wailing Wailers Association of Nigeria.

It is no longer islamization right? It is now witchcraft. When are u guys going to get over this defeat?? Some of u people will die of beef and hatred before 2019 as you lots are going.

Before the election, this Aribi-write-trash was screaming about islamization, now see the nonsense a supposed intellect is writing.

When are u guys going to finally see that Buhari has no special agenda save to build a Nigeria we can all be proud of. That was his plan 30 yrs ago, but he was cut short by evil men that didn't want Nigeria to progress.

The rot that followed his exit clearly vindicated his approach which a lot of people condemned then.

Fate has smiled on Nigeria once again as the simple man who is passionate about just setting things in the proper perspective is back 30 yrs after he was sent packing.

And some mofos think we'd fold our arms and let them frustrate him again??

The millions who voted him and the millions of his supporters that didn't even vote are ready to give him the necessary support he needs to fix this country. Wailers can continue wailing and coming out with preposterous conjectures daily.

We'll always be there to counter u guys. For your information, as we are the majority that voted for him, we are also the majority in the background.

Nigeria and PMB must succeed!

A lot of u myopic and senseless lots has been chanting the opposite even on this forum. But your evil pronouncements will not stand in Jesus name. And neither shall it come to past.

Nigeria and PMB will succeed!!

God will definitely help Nigeria through PMB.

Africa is unfortunately being led by a host of greedy and selfish people. So sad to see Africa struggling with extreme poverty, diseases and civil wars. Here in Nigeria where we are still having some relative peace, some mofos want to plunge us into another senseless civil war.

Instead of every Nigerian to join hands and support PMB; tribal, religious and extreme political partisanship has blinded a lot of people to the extent they are wishing the man failure. Forgetting that a success by Buhari will be a success for all Nigerians.

Reading this even gave me a sense of pride that Nigeria was not counted among those nations mentioned. Not that I seek the approval of other nations, but sincere unbiased assessment from outside sources can still be relied on for elements of accuracy.

Kabiru Sokoto: Police Reverses Zakari Biu’s Dismissal, Promotes 2 CPs To AIGs

The Police Service Commission (PSC), has pronounced a “not guilty” verdict on the dismissed commissioner of police, CP Zakari Biu, reinstating him to his former position and retiring him statutorily.

This was made known yesterday in a statement by the commission’s spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani in which he said two former CPs, Danladi Adi Yirama Mshielbwala and Ibrahim Idris were promoted to the next rank of Assistant Inspectors General of Police (AIGs). Biu who was dismissed from the Police Force following his alleged complicity in the escape from police detention of notorious Boko Haram suspect, Kabiru Sokoto after a trial, got his reprieve after he challenged his dismissal.

According to Ani, the decision to reinstate Biu was taken during the commission’s 13th plenary meeting held in Abuja where he was exonerated of any complicity in Kabiru Sokoto’s escape.

“The Police Service Commission has approved the promotion of two commissioners of Police to the rank of Assistant Inspectors General of Police. The commission also reviewed the CP Zakari Biu’s appeal against his dismissal, exonerating him and retiring him statutorily.

“These decisions were the high points of the 13th plenary meeting of the commission held in Abuja.” The meeting was presided over by the commission’s chairman, Dr Mike Mbama Okiro. promoted CP. Danladi Adi Yirama Mshielbwala and CP Ibrahim Idris to the next rank of AIG.

“It also exonerated CP Biu from the issues surrounding the escape of Kabiru Sokoto, an arrested Boko Haram kingpin in Abuja,” Ani said.

Kabiru Sotoko was the Boko Haram terrorist sentenced to life imprisonment for masterminding the 2010 bombing of St Theresa Catholic Church in Madalla in which 44 worshippers were killed and 70 others sustained injuries. Sokoto was being led to his house for a house search when he escaped from police officers led by Bui. N50m reward was placed for anyone with information that would lead to Sokoto’s rearrest.

Bui went on military trial in 2012 following which he was found guilty and dismissed from the Force


http://leadership.ng/news/458770/kabiru-sokoto-police-reverses-zakari-bius-dismissal-promotes-2-cps-to-aigs

Mike Mbama Okiro chaired the meeting that discharged the guy of all wrong doings and retired him, another Ikechukwu made the announcement, yet Wailers are already blaming PMB. Has Mike Mbama Okiro come out to tell you he was acting on orders from PMB? If PMB fires the Okiro guy now and put another more competent person there, they will still have something to say. That he is trying to fulfil an agenda.

All you mofos, how come none of u is criticising the Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Dr Mike Mbama Okiro?? Who was the chairman of the meeting. This man needs to be fired, how can someone complicit in the escape of a terrorist be retired with benefits?

PMB needs to investigate this.

Obviously the governor must have given his approval to the operation.

One point that is amazing me that people are not talking about is the fact that Akpabio is still using the government house after 3 months of handing over and the new governor is operating from elsewhere.

Maybe the new governor doesn't know how to politely tell Akpabio to vacate the govt house grounds hence, the covert support for this operation. With the mindset that Akpabio will have no choice than to move after the public searchlight is on them.

Akpabio residing even if it is in the presidential lodge within the govt house is not proper. He won't allow the governor to have a full control, moreso since he was the former Boss of the governor.

If it was Tinubu still living illegally in the presidential lodge of the Lag government house after handling over to Fashola then, people no go allo1 us hear word, newspaper headlines would have been screaming it daily.

The present Akwa Ibom governor must be bold and take charge. Two captains cannot be in charge of the state government house.

If this is what you can only do after reading a well constructed criticism of Buhari administration so far, then you are not smart. Everything is not all about politics or supporting PDP or APC! The young man you are mutilating his write up made so much sense more than you will ever do. If you have not learnt anything from what he wrote at least you should learn how to write good English from his write up! [/s]

Trash. A lot of people will not read that because of the poor formatting. Formatting write-ups is part of good writing. From the nonsense you wrote above, I can see that both of you are two sides of a coin.

I think u have an eye issue. Did u see anything PDP/APC in my response??

CONGRATS TO THE TIGERS!!! ANGOLA IS STILL BETTER THO

Nigeria has better team cohesion. All the basketball stats on Fiba website points to a win by Nigeria. All of them. 3 points, fast breaks, steals, rebounds, etc. Visit the site to check them, you'll be impressed.

Angola just had historical advantage on their side. And this advantage usually confers more confidence on d court.

ORACLE1975:
[s]I must say I like the bold move of the Jonathan Ministers because from my humble but candid observation, I think the APC has no
agenda and they represents a crop of old and failed politicians who are bereft
of leadership ideas and experiences. Each time I read news from Nigeria, I am
appalled by the arrogant insinuations of the APC and its bad mouthing the
Jonathan administration, even though it is no longer in power. This APC
strategy is one clear characteristic of poor and inexperienced leadership.
While I am not a politician and would never want to be, I would very much love
to contribute my quota to develop Nigeria when I come home. I want APC to learn
from great leaders like the pragmatic and resilient Barack Obama. When Obama
came to power in 2008, the US economy was so bad that it was in deep recession.
The magnitude of such economic disaster impacted the whole global economy that
it plunged into a level as bad as the great depression. Obama did not rule by
making Bush a reference point at every instances or wasting his time conducting
any probe of the Bush administration. Instead, he tackled the problems he met
head long. It is to Obama's credit that the world was steered out of recession
and the global economy became flamboyant once again. Unemployment rate in the
US is now 5.2% down from 9.1% when Obama took power. Even at this present time
when global oil prices have fallen, and big economies like Russia and China are
seeing their surpluses turn to deficit, the US can boast of having one of the
strong economy in the world. The lesson is simple: good leaders do not look for
scapegoats for their own failures. They do not continue pointing accusing
fingers each time reality stare them on the face. They instead put plugs to contain
the problems and stop them from getting worse. The present Nigerian leadership
seems not to know the problem facing the nation. They dont seem to have ideas. The
only ideas they seem to have is how to demonize PDP and cast aspersions on the
people who served the country in the last administration. Noise making, we all
know, cannot solve problems. Noises about stolen funds and waiting until the
funds are recovered before one can start ruling is cheap blackmail. When Buhari
came to power years back, among the problems he said he is fighting was
nepotism. But nepotism of sort is what Nigeria is seeing from his current appointments.
The President should roll out his agenda and his plans to make Nigeria great
even with the limited resources he met on ground. His ability to start working
and not talking about money that has already been spent, will engrave his name
in the annals of history. We Nigerians both home and in diaspora are ready to
work with him. Throwing muds and casting aspersions all the time is getting too
boring and stale, and is a sign of rascality, ineptitude, and an area boy
approach to politicking. It is only in Nigeria and Africa that such leadership
trait is lauded as an achievement. Dear President Buhari, history beckons on
you. Do not let people who have malice and hatred in their heart or axes to
grind drag you into their tirade. If you should be angry over anything, your
anger should be directed at audit Departments in all the Ministries and
parastatals where lootings took place. They earn fat salaries for doing no job,
and they drive shinny cars and live in luxurious homes, and now want you to abandon
your enormous job of governance and do their jobs of checking ledgers.
BUHARI PLEASE SETTLE DOWN.[/s]

You so much dwell on Prof Osibanjo as the choice of VP.

If you read my post well, I didn't in any way doubt the capability of my amiable Prof.

All I said was that, left for PMB alone, he wouldn't have gone for Prof Osibanjo as running mate because he never knew him before. Take it or leave it, that remains a fact.


Why do you sound so polarized and emotional by saying " The only mistake he made was that he should have made public other appointments he was giving to the southerners to balance public opinion".


Opinions like yours are sickening to patriotic citizens. Is there any appointments PMB has made without publicity with pictures? To say the least, I'm very disappointed in you. If I may ask you, how many appointments has he given to the southerners? You can list them here and "balance" it with that of the northerners.


Left for me alone, I don't care who is appointed / not appointed as long as they will deliver. But disregarding the fact that Nigeria is a multi-ethnic society is a time bomb.

You are speaking from both sides of the mouth. Earlier, u said PYO was forced on him. Making it seem as if PMB has no role to play in his selection which is totally false and ludicrous. You are trying to be smart by not crediting the choice of a VP to the person who had the authority to do the ratification. Is tht not ironical? You agreed the VP was a good choice, but insist that it was not PMB's credit to have such a sound choice. To whose credit then? Tinubu?? This is laughable. All the running mates PMB has been selecting were all good choices.

Buhari is intelligent. He picks very good people to work with him. His choice of media assistants were superb. His choice of service chiefs were sound. His choice of NNPC head was bull's eye! His choice of FIRS Boss is beautiful. His new choice for Customs is also very sound judging from his antecedents. So likewise his choice for SFG considering the prevailing circumstances.

My opinion has been tendered, I don't give a hoot if it makes u sick. PMB doesn't either. You have a right to your opinion as well.

You are disappointed in me?? Wow, you honour me. Didn't know u had regards for me before.

If u don't care who is appointed so far they deliver as u said, then why are u again expressing the North/South sentiments in your post?? You said you don't care, again u re saying I should compare Northerners/southerners appointed. You are contradicting yourself!

If you don't care, then that is it. Don't care about region, tackle the options based on the suitability of the appointees.
