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

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.

Kingspin:
WHY DO THE NORTH(Islam) KILL Because of religion?

It's mainly due to illiteracy, poverty and hopelessness. There are so many hopeless people in the North just roaming about and waiting for something to happen. An hopeless man is a very dangerous man. When such a person is now an illiterate, the person can be easily brainwashed.

Now imagine what a brainwashed, illiterate and an hopeless person can do. The person has nothing to lose, does not value life, has no love because he/she has not be shown love on the street. Multitudes of such persons are available in the North.

But the enlightenment has really improved now. With such highly educated people such as the Sultan of Sokoto and the Emir of Kano, after Boko haram has been conquered, you'll see that their religious intolerance will reduce. because Northerners revere their leaders. They listen to them.

Even down south. If u observe those people that are always ready to scatter things and start a riot especially motor park touts, you'll see that they mainly the uneducated ones.

So illiteracy plays a key role in those religious riots up north.

Point of correction: Buhari did not pick / appoint Prof Osibanjo. He was imposed on him. Buhari had never known Osibanjo prior to that period.

I discover so many people, especially the naive ones are trying very hard to defend Buhari's misstep but the matured minds even in APC know what's up.

Be sincere with yourself, Buhari is not a timid person that an option can be forced down his throat. The party whose flag he was flying played a key role in the choice of the VP.

Options were given to him with reasons and he finally selected Prof Yemi Osinbajo.

Are u saying it is only those people one knows personally that one must choose to work with?? That is quite myopic.

I have always been an ardent fan of Buhari, but I must confess that I was initially disappointed in his choice of running mate. I personally wanted an Oshiomole or Rochas.

But after reading about the man, PYO and interacting with him directly during one of the APC town hall meetings, I became convinced he was a superb choice. And my admiration for PMB even soared the more.

I also have friends in RCCG who confirmed that the man is steadfast, honest, intellectually sound and very hardworking. Which other personality does Nigeria need as a VP?

Go and check all the people PMB has been picking as running mates, they were all sound and intelligent people. Buhari is no push over.

PMB is quite more intelligent than a lot of you his critics thinks.

In my own opinion these recent appointments he made were all sound save for the Chief of staff that I think is too old and may not be that vibrant.

The only mistake he made was that he should have made public other appointments he was given to Southerners alongside to balance public opinion.

Buhari shocked many when he selected a relatively unknown man as his running mate, the current Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. Interestingly, the running mate selected turned out to be a Pastor!

Dogara who emerged as the speaker is a christian.

Babachir Lawal has been appointed into the powerful position in the Federation as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. The engine room of the government of the day. This appointment also shocked many as the man is relatively unknown.

Babachir is a Christian and also a Pastor! The implication of this is that we now have a Pastor as the Vice President and a Pastor as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. The Speaker of the House of Representatives is also a Christian.

Can it still be said that PMB is pursuing an Islamic agenda??


I can see that most people who were shouting islamization has piped down and are now screaming "northern agenda!"

By the time the remaining appointments balances out the distribution, i'll be waiting to see what wailers will wail about next.

Mbu is not fit for a decent Police force.

Whoever knows a certain Dr. Azolibe always sending me mails about peni.s enlargement should warn him. I am not interested in any way and he should delete my e-mail from his database else the thunder that will fire him . . .

Gh

I don tire for that animal. He has been spamming my box with those obnoxious emails.

The social media was inundated with allegations that Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria's current President is a religious bigot who was on a mission to islamize the country.

These cries got to the highest crescendo during the 2015 general elections' campaigns. The Christian community were buffeted with reasons not to vote Buhari because he was 'an islamist proponent gunning to spread Islam throughout the country'.

PMB is about to spend 100 days in the saddle as Nigeria's president and it will be worthwhile to highlight some steps taken so far by him side by side the earlier assertions.

Muhammadu Buhari shocked many when he selected a relatively unknown man as his running mate, the current Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo. Interestingly, the running mate selected turned out to be a Pastor! A pastor in a well respected religious outfit, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).

The hordes of critics of Buhari dismissed the option as a political gimmick aimed at swaying christian votes to the advantage of PMB forgetting that all his running mates has always been christians from the Southern part of the country.

Even at that, the propanganda on him as an islamist extremist was still ferociously pursued.

Mohammed Buhari went on to win the presidential elections. After the elections followed the drama on who emerges as the Principal Officers of the National Assembly. PMB has earlier declared that he was ready to work with anybody and he made good his earlier stance by not interfering in the elections.

Bukola Saraki and Dogara thereafter emerged as the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

Dogara who emerged as the speaker is a christian.

Just recently, Babachir Lawal has been appointed into the powerful position in the Federation as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. The engine room of the government of the day. This appointment also shocked many as the man is relatively unknown.

Babachir is a Christian and also a Pastor! The implication of this is that we now have a Pastor as the Vice President and a Pastor as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation. The Speaker of the House of Representatives is also a Christian.

Can it still be said that PMB is pursuing an Islamic agenda??

Or does the muslim community now have a justification to demand that one or two Imams be appointed also into one or two equally powerful positions to balance the scale??

As it is now, the critics of the president has jettisoned the line of argument that he is a religious extremist and are now focusing their energy and oratory bullets in pointing that PMB is an ethnic bigot (or tribalistic person in local parlance) based on the appointments made so far.

As the noise about him being a religious extremist has died down, is it safe to assume that in the next few months when majority of his appointments would have been made, the noise of him being an ethnic jingoist will also tone down??

This brings me to the final question and the title of this piece, let the critics of Muhammadu Buhari be specific:


Is Buhari a religious extremist or an Ethnic Bigot?

With all the oyel money?? Well on a more serious note, owing is not as bad as the press is portraying these days, especially if the programmes that brought about the debt are revenue yielding projects.

The only sore point is if the projects that led to the owing were manipulated to make some funds available for looting.

Looting borrowed funds is the highest level of political wickedness.
