Hmmmm. Dino better start giving reasonable explanation on his source of wealth.

Whiteangel1234:
South East will take the Presidency in 2023

South West have no argument but sheer greediness

If APC failed to zone the Presidency to south East I pity for Nigeria for the kind destabilization that will engulf this country

Ha! This is becoming something else.

What is happening sef?? Mothers can no longer leave kids with fathers??

Nigeria and hypocrisy. When Imo governor was to come to Edo for APC primaries, people were critical of him and calling him all sorts of names and even threatened him with violence.

12345baba:
Do that court have jurisdiction to do that? Wikes rivers state

It's the Federal High Court. Their jurisdiction is all over Naija

BERNIMOORE:
Exparte motion ...Obaseki will not even bother...A stay of execution tommorow will render this a dead rubber... The grounds are so funny...that he didn't purchase form on time When there is a waiver recognized by the court... No Case

Recognized by which court?

Of course, the aspirant knows stay of execution may be obtained.

He just wants to put pre-election matter hurdle in front of Obaseki in case he wins, it will then be pursued to logical conclusion.

This is not looking good for our democracy. The intrusion of courts into party matters should be minimal.

Unfortunately, it is the same PDP that has been encouraging the courts to be dabbling into such matters. Let us continue watching.

selfdefence:
why is he on wheelchair ?

He claimed he was not feeling fine during trial.

EngineerBode:
They don't have to be at the same place at a time. In trying to support your party, try to have sense. Can't they come in batches, vote and go? You people sef. You drop you ability to think just to support a party for peanuts.

Note: I work for the Lagos state government which is an APC government. I have seen APC in and out. So quit mentioning me

Come and go in delegate primary election in an open field where there is usually massive buying of votes? It is you that should engage the brain God has given you. What concerns me with who you work for?

EngineerBode:
Direct primary during covid 19. APC are so thoughtless

Indirect primary with 4,000 delegates at a place is better??

Looks organised

GidiWoodsMan:
Why was the thief hauling cash around? Has the government outlawed manager's cheques?

Some Nigerians who will never have sense until they die, are still supporting that armed robber.

rusep:
Nigeria for you. If you catch a thief they will bring religion, tribe or political angle to it. May God punish those depending thiefs.

Don't mind them! Despite the state of the nation, some people will still be using politics to thwart every sane move by the govt to punish graft.

This dishonoured Otiki is both a thief and an actor.

Look at him borrowing the act of political thieves during his court martial.

The punishment is even light, he should have been demoted to a major before being dishonourably discharged!

If the FG asks all political parties to come and apply before any political gathering is allowed during election period, letters would have been written to the UN, EU and the US.

Hypocrites are hailing this faulty precedence until politicians start replicating it at other states in Nigerian to fight political opponents.

Obaseki is introducing dangerous political precedence into the polity.

Till date, he and minority members (10) inaugurated the State House of Assembly in the night, without carrying other members (14) along.

The remaining members, which are in the majority are yet to be inaugurated till date, creating vacuum for their constituencies.

The governor is not being called to order over this anomally by good people of this nation.

This needs to be condemned before other states and even the FG start using same faulty approach to cage the legislative arm of the government crippling a major arm of our institutional democracy.

MadeInTokyo:
Even APC dey fear Obaseki, cos dem no know wetin be him next move tomorrow , Obaseki has vowed to quarantine anybody involved in public gathering tomorrow

Stories. Obaseki the noise maker. All he'll do is cry to the media.

jidamsel43:
This Edo state gubernatorial election is generating much interest nationwide.

it's going to be between the federal power against the state power.

The winner is …......

The people.

Maxymilliano:
And he wants to buy Arsenal ..

If na Atiku now, we no go hear word

You are among the first to comment, why not condemn the sack instead of looking for others to do it??

What's with Atiku this Atiku that?

Or are you justifying the sack because Atiku did same? I dont get.

Racoon:
What the hell is going on with the APC? Why are they just abusing the courts processes?

Or why is the court allowing itself to be misused and rubbished by politicians?

Brush1:
Is Abike the only woman in that party or what?. How many times would she be made a senator. This very disgusting

She was never a senator. I like the woman, very active and vocal and protective of her constituency. That is how a Senator should be.


I will support her candidacy with passion.

Ezmans:
brain washed afonja spotted. The lawma they accused ambode that he abandoned is what sanwo olu is audtting because heavy fraud & he have sack the director

How come everybody who does not share same political view with you is brainwashed?

Does that not imply you have a problem with opposing view?

ErnestOgenyi:
Ambode is the best choice.. He is very intelligent

If he is very intelligent he'll still be the governor.

davodyguy:
Ambode will be better.
Abike was in HoR
Gbenga Ashafa was in the Senate before

Abike has always been voice for the voiceless, and not afraid of confrontation, she will represent the people better as a Senator.

Sebastine1994:
nonsense move, nonsense

the state government is no better than the discos, inshort the state will perform extremely lower, state that cannot handle simple assignment.

we would never get anything right in this country, health, education, power, politics, sports,
nothing is working in this shithole.

my suggestion is this: citizens Crowdfunding
the government has failed us, let's try another formula.
kogi state for example has a million citizens, if they come together to contribute 100 each, they would build factory everyday. factory that would create jobs , generate revenue and alleviate poverty . biscuits factory, ict firms, toothpick factory, garment factory, the list is endless.

kogi citizens will no longer depend on government, but what do they do instead: they want manner to fall from above, ajaokuta to reopen and kogi becomes powerful,

nothing is working in that state, half of it's population are civil servant, police in Abuja. many graduates of kogi state University are outside the state, looking for elusive jobs.
nothing will change in this Damm country untill the citizens stand up and speak with one voice.

if we come together and crowdfund, the sky will be our limits.

it doesn't make sense to live our collective survival in the hands of a few idiot, hahaha hello is nothing without the citizens who put him there, when the citizens find a way to reduce their over reliance on the government, that is when things will change. government should not create jobs but private firms

We are not a honest set of people. I don't mean you and me but majority of Nigerians.

The people at the helms of affairs of the crowd found will steal the money and tell the others stories.

Meninmen:
until Bayelsa election, there was no technical judgment as regards election matters in court.

I don't know what you mean by the above bolded. Tending of required certificates has ALWAYS being a requirement to contest election. It has nothing to do with the Bayelsa election ruling. So, if Obaseki showed his certificates go APC and INEC b4 he became Governor in 2016_ and APC and INEC didn't see any issue, what now happened in 2020 that only APC is seeing discrepancy in his results?


Whatever the case, the power play is visible to the blind. Oshiomole doesn't want Obaseki has Gov.

If Obaseki wins his re-election (let's say under PDP), let APC drag Obaseki and PDP to court that his certificates has discrepancies.

The Bayelsa loss means APC has to be more careful in the scrutiny of the credentials of its candidates.

Its not compulsory for Obaseki to fly the APC flag, there are many parties out there if the APC says no. He should go to them and stop making noise all over.

slivertongue:
"I believe there’s a possibility. It’s possible"


Obaseki playing mind games with APC.

Playing mind games with APC that is done with him as and moved on?

He is just wasting his mind and game.

mapet:
I think it is more of guarantee than subsidy. NERC on the other hand are the subsidy agent. The Discos ab-initio were not financially competent to run, they never wanted to invest in metering but wanted to keep collecting funds from customers under the estimated billing cycle.

Power cannot stored. Once produced must be off-taken. NBET is that plug that guarantee that power produced is paid for hence GENCOS can continue to produce. They are a temporary arrangement till market parity is attained

Thanks for the enlightenment.

iHart:
why not the DISCOS buy directly from TCN?

The discos always default on payment. They claim the prices we currently pay are not market driven.

The FG put that link to keep the sector going. A sort of subsidy.

DonFreshmoney:
This company is as useless as queue in the word queue.. nobody knows this company so they can afford to put a Igbos as the head... When he appoints a southerner as NERC or TCN head, then we will discuss.

That is the agency that sells electricity to the discos.

It buys from TCN and sells to the discos. It is a very important link in the electricity value chain.

Ogonimilitant:
The position is of no significance

oga.

tonididdy:
it's same thing bro... add your siblings in the contest. who would you answer to firstly?

it's same thing with oshiomole... you said he gives directives, people follow, you said that is democracy.
a leader who cannot be opposed or accept criticism is a tyrant(a dictator).

I don't want to go back and forth with this pls

Its not same.

So what is democracy if it is not about leadership and follower-ship?

There must be a leader that others follows!

Democracy comes to play when the leader with the majority followers is allowed to show the way.

The others with dissenting opinion or criticism (as you said) are allowed their say. But the majority leads the way. Its as simple as that.

tonididdy:
if your gf gave you an instruction to do something and same time your father instructed you to do something else and both are equally important tasks.

which would you answer firstly?

Your analogy does not fully support what we are discussing. What we are discussing involves a lot of people. Its not just 3 people.

tonididdy:
oshiomole is playing both judge and jury because he is party chairman... what he dictates is what will be done, so therefore he is a dictator.

funny enough now, it's clear Obaseki is on his own now. all the big names backing him, have all gone cold hence the reason he ran to tinubu. am sure that was of no effect either.

in fact Obaseki tone sounds like a defeated man

If he dictates and the majority agrees with him, then I see no problem with that. So far there is no evidence he is blackmailing them or putting a gun on their head.

That is democracy for you. The ability to influence more people and convince them to follow your path and not the other person.

So far blackmail is not involved, this is no dictatorship.

Urchman200:
A particular people from a particular region knows how to support the oppressors against the oppressed,my question is how can this people not believe in justice and fairness,when u go through their comments on this forum they are all same .

If majority of the members of the APC do not want Obaseki as their flag bearer, then it follows that they are getting justice in the ongoing politricks.

MrSquint:
Oshiomhole in his NLC days said alot about dictatorship and tyranny.

What is he doing today ?
He's doing absolutely worse than those military-cum-civilian dictators.
Shame! Shame!! Shame!!!!!!!!!?

Why are you people shouting dictatorship up and down? If Oshiomole does not have significant number of APC people behind him in Edo state, there is nothing he can do to the governor.

If it is established that Oshiomole has more APC members behind him than the governor, then there is no need to be shouting dictatorship, that is classic democracy in action.
