I am not under pressure to drop my deputy – Adamawa Governor

Governor Muhammadu Bindow of Adamawa State has denied a report making the round that he was under pressure to drop the state deputy governor, Martins Babale, for a Muslim candidate.

Mr Bindow in a press statement issued by the Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Ahmad Sajoh, described the report as “a blatant lie”.

The statement blamed desperate politicians who had lost relevance in the state of using ethnic and religious sentiments to discredit his administration ahead of 2019 general elections.

“We are aware that some politicians in Adamawa state who have totally lost political value and relevance have resorted to using ethnicity and religion as political currencies in the run-up to the 2019 elections.

“What is even worse is that these group of persons are willing to plunge this state into unending crisis if they are unable to achieve their political goals.

“In their desperation, they are prepared to go any length to score cheap political points including the recent hijacking of a peaceful procession organized by a credible religious body and now the hiring of a political tout masquerading as a journalist.”

While reiterating the commitment of the government not to be distracted by blackmail, the statement urged the media not to allow political jobbers use their platforms to settle personal scores.

“No amount of blackmail, intimidation or unholy use of ethnic chauvinism and religious bigotry, political jingoism or agbero-journalism will derail us.

“Let those who believe they have what to tell the electorate in 2019 step forward and face us in election using issues and achievements as factors that determine our relative electoral fortunes,” the statement added.

APC senators were not even at the National Assembly!

Yet the narrative everywhere is that they were the only ones allowed into the complex, while the PDP senators were locked out. Some high level propaganda is happening here and people are not seeing it because of emotions.

Good!

sarrki:
You know nothing

Pdp used it for politics

I am beginning to believe, as their only campaign talk now is to use herdsmen to scare people.

From Ekiti to Osun, PDP's only talk is herdsmen will come and kill you if you vote for the APC. Which in actual sense is contradictory if the APC is actually responsible for the herdsmen issue.

The way all PDP online goons have been screaming and using herdsmen to scare voters is highly suspicious.

MrPolitics:
Akpabio may help APC get significant votes in akwa-ibom but they can't win the state

All they need is to ensure they get more than 25% and to reduce the capability and capacity of the opposition to rig in this their stronghold.

rusher14:
Adams is a proper chairman.

I tell you. The guy get action and mouth.

Too much energy.

In fact, he has been unleashed.

Nogodye:
Many politician will retire in 2019 as far as politics is concern.Let see how it unfold...PMB till 2023

Oshiomole from 2023 till 2031!

Osiomole for President!

Minjim:
The close margin calls for the recount which Dickson declined.

After recounting Ogunbiyi's votes it's only logical to recount Adeleke's

Very logical. I just don't understand why we seem aversed to transparency in this part of the world.

Why can't we just do things in a transparent way and ensure everyone is satisfied with the action to a large extent.

These are just 75 people from the one hundred and seventy thousand plus people (170,000 +) that voted for Fayose's/ PDP candidate. It is allowed.

BabaO2:
Tambuwa hmmm, what a typical power drunk Hausa man, an ingrate.

And to even think some APC stalwarts considered dropping Buhari for him then.

emmy994:
INEC just showed us how complicit they were in this election. I don't know if we have taken time to add the votes gotten by both APC and PDP and subtract it from the total valid votes of 384,595 you will notice a difference of 9,021 votes. Please INEC can you explain this figure?
This is a better case for PDP at the tribunal. This is rigging at the highest level.

Nosaghae:
The election was not only between PDP and APC, other political parties got some votes as well

...including voided votes. Some people are so dull sha, and they are arrogantly advertising their ignorance to the whole world.

Concluding her ruling, Justice Ogunwumiju noted that the court had at an earlier adjourned date observed that it found it strange that Innoson, a judgment creditor will be employing all manner of tactics to delay the hearing of the substantive appeal entered in this court as far back as 2013.

Everyone in this judicial drama knows that the substantive appeal must be decided in this court and no matter how much time is wasted, the Supreme Court can only hear the substantive matter after it has been decided in this court”

These are the types of practices that give the administration of Justice a bad name considering that this case involves money and has been hanging in this court since 2013.

The lady of Justice don dey look Innosson with suspicious eye oh.

Getting interesting.

Innoson heads to Supreme Court as Appeal Court rules GTB appeal can be heard

A’Court dismisses Innoson’s preliminary objections against GTB

By Dennis Agbo ENUGU-The Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu, on Friday, dismissed the preliminary objections brought before it by the Chairman of Innoson Motors, Chief Innocent Chukwuma and his company, Innoson Motors Ltd

Innoson arguing through his counsel, Prof. McCarthy Mbadugha had at the last hearing of the matter on June 14, 2018 raised objections to a motion brought before the court by GTBank seeking to amend its notice of appeal before the court.

Delivering ruling yesterday, Justice Ogunwumiju held that, the court would be in serious error if it decides to wait and hear Innoson Motors’ preliminary objection. “There is no doubt that the application for amendment of the notice of appeal will, if successful, give the appeal a chance of being considered and disposed-off on the merit rather than on technicalities.

It is implicit in the constitutional rights of fair hearing that parties in a case be accorded every reasonable opportunity of being heard, and that extends to the right to amend their processes and place before the court all the issues they may wish to canvass to enable the court reach a fair and just conclusion,” she ruled.

Ogunwumiju also ruled that, “The fact that the respondent counsel raised objections to some of the grounds of appeal is not a bar that can deprive the appellant of the right to amend its notice of appeal.

The respondent has not argued that the notice of appeal that the appellant is seeking to amend is fundamentally defective. He has failed to identify any substantial or legally acceptable reason to support the objection. “There is no limitation of time to amend a notice of appeal, the objection by Innoson is not only frivolous but is vexatious and hereby dismissed.”

Concluding her ruling, Justice Ogunwumiju noted that the court had at an earlier adjourned date observed that it found it strange that Innoson, a judgment creditor will be employing all manner of tactics to delay the hearing of the substantive appeal entered in this court as far back as 2013.

“I see no reason to refuse the appellant’s (GTBank) request to amend its notice of appeal. “Everyone in this judicial drama knows that the substantive appeal must be decided in this court and no matter how much time is wasted, the Supreme Court can only hear the substantive matter after it has been decided in this court”. “Without any disrespect to whatever legal gymnastics being displayed by the 1st to 4th respondents’ (Innoson) Counsel, these are the types of practices that give the administration of Justice a bad name considering that this case involves money and has been hanging in this court since 2013.

“Considering all the reasons and circumstances set out above, I hold that it is in the interest of Justice that the appellants application be granted in terms of the following orders: Leave is granted to the Appellant (GTBank) to raise new issues in this appeal, Leave is granted to the Appellant (GTBank) to amend its notice of appeal in terms of the particulars and specifics highlighted in its supporting Affidavit The amended notice of appeal which has already been filed and served is properly filed and served Leave is granted the Appellant (GTBank) to amend its brief of argument to reflect the reliefs granted.”

UncleJJ:
Shehu Sani and Hunkuyi have been dropping fakes news in regards to their defection. It has happened 3 times, as at yesterday. I guess that would be the last.

Saraki has been stylishly backpedaling; he was at the Railway event, and just intimated INEC on available senatorial position in the house. I can't believe Buhari survived this.

Thanks to the political machinations of Tinubu and co.

Ategberoson:
I was vibrant that eleka/fayose will win not until fayemi started using the bridge and upaid salaries to blackmailed him


fayose caused the downfall of his deputy with the unpaid salaries. that bridge can pay three mth salaries of ekiti workers but yet he didn't pay, peoples welfare first before political attention


Now you've overhaul your political relevance for a mere technocrat who was fortunate a politician



I'm highly disappointed in you, you ve dented the image of olusola already

Fayose and co. equally blackmailed Fayemi with the herdsmen issue.

As demonstrated by the 2015 and the 2018 Ekiti elections, campaign based on hate and fear mongering does not work. It can backfire.

I hope the PDP will learn their lesson.

masterchi:
stop kidding yourself with those two bullshit of calabar was first FCT and lagos has oil. You are bigger (Cant really say if you are bigger because you could be 16) than those and if you need lessons google is yourself. Check the history of any major infrastructure in lagos. Try reading your history

Agreed that being capital city assisted Lagos to some extent.

But kindly also bear in mind, that Lagos became the capital city basically because it was the most developed, cosmopolitan and enlightened part of Nigeria as at that time.

It was already ahead of all the other places in Nigeria as per development and it will continue so.

Despite moving the capital out of Lagos for about 30 years now, it's commerce continues to thrive and it's miles ahead of every corner of the country.

Lagos commerce has always been ahead of that of other places in Nigeria since the 19th century. It is not only about the bridges built by the FG or the National theatre and National stadium.


The oil producing states have a good ground to improve their economy based on the huge chunk they receive from Federal allocations even higher than Lagos with more population burden, but they have not been able to elect visionary leaders only kleptos.

fairfora:
This man, why not just stop deceiving yourself? We're here in ekiti and we know clearly the PDP has won. If you want to see the actual results, go to naij.com and stop judging by what you see on NL

Premium Times has more credibility than Naij.com. What's with you and Naij that you have screaming their name since. I will take those results on Naij with a pinch of salt due to your desperation.

Good development. Fowler till 2023.

oshe11:
If Fayemi wins, It means Buhari isnt ready for Free and Fair election come 2019......

You are not serious at all. Folks like you are a grave danger to democracy. In a democratic contest between two highly popular political parties with almost equal chances of winning, you are already insinuating that the victory of one of the parties is tantamount to rigging.

Do you think civil servants in Ekiti are happy with the autocratic and dictatorial Fayose? Civil servants are being owed months, pensioners months and gratuity equally not paid for years, yet, he is building a bridge costing billions that is not needed for now.

The major supporters of Fayose are okada riders, NURTW and some market women. These category, though very loud-mouthed and rough, majority of them don't have PVCs. These category loves Fayose because he allows all forms of hooliganism and disorderliness that the well educated Fayemi do not allow.

Majority of the educated folks in Ekiti are for Fayemi including all the rural areas that Fayose abandoned only to be doing showmanship at the capital.

I strongly believe the votes from the neglected rural areas is what is going to make PDP lose this election.

omowolewa:
Good reasons

I am even curious. Is it that our media is now more efficient or the previous administrations were not assenting or withdrawing assent to bills?

The news about withdrawal of assent to bills were very very scanty during the last administration. The only time I heard about withdrawal of assent was at the tail end of the Administration when the 7th Assembly was pushing for review of some aspects of the 1999 constitution, which GEJ vetoed and later sued them to the supreme court.

Sincerely, it is highly impressive the way the current President communicates his decisions to the NASS on bills he is withholding assent to.

Some of the points usually put forward by the President also clearly shows the NASS does not put due diligence into their work.

Ndonu101:
typical tit for tat Buhari. It is always Buhari's way or the high way

This is him avenging the fact that the House of Reps disagreed with him on his executive order

the President is so petty that it is childlike!

Are you sure you are not a robot? The reasons adduced by the President makes enough sense.

For your information, Buhari' s response on bills is not limited to reactions of only the Executive arm of govt alone.

The president also sends some bills seeking presidential assent to the CJN to get his input.

Troublemaker007:
You people have come again with your 10 reason this, 10 reason that. Are you the ballot paper?

Dont mind them. If they now fail woefully, they will be screaming rigging up and down.

Jokers everywhere

This propaganda is from the Table of Lere

Fayose the clown. Despite his teeming security team, he is still claiming he was assaulted by unnamed policemen.

who even takes the joker serious sef.

schoolboij:
I know someone that graduated in August 2009 and was signed by Bomoi the one that signed for Kemi.

Apologies if I sound rude, but all these "I know, I know" is sort of boring.

Can you pls just show us a snap shot of the edge of such cert? This will put the argument to rest and glaringly show the incompetence of NYSC.

Kindly show us asap and pls not the one photoshopped.

frowland:
Post them here let us all see!!! I am not as gullible as your followers man. I can as well tell you that I have seen loads with BOMOI right? ffs!

You are indeed very gullible if you cannot use basic facts put to you to make an informed decision.

I'm not a hater of Kemi, in fact I really like her. But someone posted a discharge cert (note: not exemption cert) signed by a different DG in Aug, 2009, and you are still arguing blindly that some other certs for that same Aug, 2009 were also signed by the former DG.

Does that make sense to you?? What we are even talking about here is discharge cert, and not exemption cert, that may have different circumstances.

Here is another one signed by same person just like the other one of Aug, 2009.

Now you have evidence of two different Aug 2009 certs signed by same person different from the person that signed for March 2009.

Please show us just one (1) Aug 2009 cert signed by same person who signed for March 2009.
