if possible punish them according to the law.

I agree but these people are powerful. Very powerful due to years of accumulation of oil wells and corrupt practices.

You don't expect magic to happen when efforts are being sabotage due to personal interest and politics

pentagonal:
shut up illiterate why don't you get to alausa and demand. what has gej done with the subsidy funds where are much touted palliatives, the excess crude oil dough?? what about the external reserve. only brainless earthworm like you will want to compare a fashola and the otueke drunkard.

I though APC was the saint party. You shouldn't care about what GEJ used your money for because you can never feel the impart of the FG.

It takes a long time to feel the impact of the FG that was one of the reasons GEJ was trying to make LG automonous but Tinubu and Fashola are kicking against it as they want to keep controlling them.

pentagonal:
m0ron what did you know about democracy?? than screaming gej till your papa get sense. younger generations like bamanga tukur and tony anineh I guess. little wonder you support gej, like poles things, you guys shares the cluelessness and senselessness. idi0tic Mr federal character only you one don claim all the tribe for naija finish.

Abeg go sit don. I have never been a fan of GEJ until recent times when MY EYES CLEARED AND SEE THE LIES APC DISH OUT EVERYDAY.

[size=16pt]Itemize what Fashola used 160 billion Naira loan to do

Itemize what Fashola used 4.6 trillion naira to do

Itemize what the 22 billion naira loan from IMF for a rail project was used for.[/size]

pentagonal:
useless goat and who cares?? and your damaged brain omitted the part that says gej and his crew of reetards want his anointing too. Mr federal character it's obvious your cursed mother traded your brain for glass of milk, after she cursed the earth with a plague like you.

Hahaha, a mumu like you will know nothing about democracy.

The ERA OF GODFATHERISM IS OVER IN NIGERIA. WE MUST VOTE THE YOUNGER GENERATION WITH IDEAS

THE SAME PEOPLE THAT RULED OUR GRANDMOTHER, MOTHERS WANT TO RULE US

WE SAY NO TO GODFATHERISM

NO TO APC. THEY ARE PIGS AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS ONE

PDP is taking over lagos

pentagonal:
you are foul brained android sired by polyandrous millipedes. pray, tell us the party of obj and why gej and his band of jesters are throwing arm and legs to get his anointing for his second term joke. [size=18pt]everyone is gathering numbers for the coming elections, so Nigerian politicians don't care to dine with even Lucifer for now.[/size]but cos you are dumb, senseless, myopic and blind. intelligent ideas bounce off your head like it's coated with teflon . fvck off now Mr federal character. common sense is a taboo in your lineage, little wonder you come across as the dumbest organism on the planetary body.

So you know Tinubu and APC can dine with the devil just to get power.

You see how rotten your brain is ?

charix:
There is no way to solve a problem influential people are benefitting from.

Exactly, when likes of Oando, Atiku (interpol of NLNG) are making money off it. What do we expect ?

poiZon:
hw can I defect from APC to BPC? I want to do it ryt now

Anything to leave that evil party is welcome.

I wonder how Buhari will FIGHT corruption with people like Tinubu.

Sincere9gerian:
Fashola inherited a rotten Lagos? What then did the current leader of APC, Tinubu, do in the 8 years that he reigned supreme in Lagos? The truth is out even from the buccal cavity of APC attack dogs

Gbammmmm

pentagonal:
like I told you in your earlier senseless ramblings. Lagos was going for eons without the feds monthly handout during that period. using your non functional brain is a taboo.

Who was the FG then, Obasanjo the same man Tinubu is now asking for advice.

In fact to Tinubu, Obansanjo is the epitome of democracy .

YOU APIGCSHITS ARE INDEED GOATS

kensto:
Nigeria has been having problem with electricity. the only way to solve the situation is,
=»The FG should build a power generating station in all the 36 states in Nigeria at least 1000 to 2000megawatts will be okay for every state or even 500 may be okay but 2000 for all those industrial states like Lagos, onitsha, Abia etc. That is the only way to solve the problem of electricity.
There should be a bugdet for this.
Thanks.
Any other views..share

The FG is trying

When you build power station and the opposition(APC) is destroying the gas pipes. What do you do ?

Chigold101:

As usual FG infrastructure

Aderostock:
No! Fashola is the bone of the contention here. let's leave it that way. Fashola is not just a governor, he's a role model, an exemplary leader, an inspiration leader, a principle- centred leader.

If Fashola is a role model then we are in trouble in this nation.

Aderostock:
Alimosho local government is more populous than some states in Nigeria. Fashola has tried and let's see what the next governor will do.

Please mention the states

Urine:
Even though Fashola is slightly above average, he is still the best this country has to offer, no thanks to the rotten folks we have in government. I must admit it feels good seeing a lot of the GEJ crew raising up issues like these, one thing I just want is that once you are done with this thread open another one and raise similar issues concerning the government at the centre. That sounds fair, doesn't it?

Stop saying that. Stop picturing Nigerians as re.tards. How can Fashola be the best this country has to offer. Do you not believe even you can do better ?#

Already Apiabo of Akwa Ibom has beaten Fashola hands down

Lamido of Jigawa with WAAAAAYYYYYYYY lower resources has surpass Fashola

Pataki:
PDP - Pigs Demonic Party.

Are there no role model governors in your party? Or you think it is a practical joke that Fashola is regarded as 'class captain'?

I won't waste my time reading the mindset of a debased ediot.

A PigCshit better come up with better defence of your boss. All these insults will take you nowhere

booscy:
Babatunde Raji Fashola will be leaving Lagos state better than he met it, True or False ?

The thing is that he is not a Saint, but I will have to say that He is a very good administrator, although with his flaws which is peculiar to human nature.

Let's take Abia as a case study with its Mega City "Aba" in a totally collapsed state, anybody who inherits the governance of Abia and commences rebuilding of Aba will need more than 8 years and 5 Trillion Naira to repair the city of Aba, which has continuosly decayed since 1983 December. That's 31 years of Decay.

Fashola is not a Magician and can't be everywhere at the same time. He inherited a rotten Lagos and he sure has done so much.
In the case of Akwa ibom, with the Highest Federal allocation which is usually ten times that of other states and in a virgin undeveloped area, tarring roads and building stadium will be eaier than built up but rotten areas where u will have to demolish, pay compensation, go to court, clear debris revamp site, prepare it and start start afresh.

Our people expect so much without giving much.
I urge you to come to Akwa Ibom and see that 98.5% of Akwa Ibom people are emmeshed in poverty. I now wonder how they will grow with all the elephant projects and billions that will be committed to their maintainance. Akwa Ibom state is not debt free, for our information.

Fashola has over 20 million people to manage, in this number are civilized people, crazy people, foreigners, military, village to lagos first timers, touts and all sort of characters.
This population generates chaos, mega noise, air pollution, solid waste and sewage and other sorts of nuisance, managing them and building infrastructure silmutaneously is aa herculean task even with your trillions.
A road is asphalted today and Lagosians need to use it today today without even letting it set.
Upon this huge population, Lagos has stayed relatively low on crime rate and kidnapping, than the so celebrated Akwa Ibom.

Fashola is not a Saint, Yes and Agreed but he is good.

I am yet to see Governors who have done well as Governors who inheritted rot and cleaned it up to a great extent;

Fashola inherited a rotten Lagos.
Amaechi inherited a collapsed Rivers.
Chime inherited a Ran-down Enugu
Oshiomhole inherited a backward and finished Edo
Okorocha inherited a collapsed Imo
Akpabio inherited an already forming Akwa Ibom, many projects at 60% completion stage and a Revise and greatly Improved Revenue source, yet his achievements are not commensurate with what Akwa Ibom has earned so far.

Whoever that will inherit rotten, collapsed, finished and backward Abia is in deep trouble as there is a major task ahead.

People like you need to have their brain check. Who was the governor before Fashola ?

Aderostock:
Welcome on board! Tell us which Nigerian public leader is better than Fashola...

Haba, I will mentions 3 from 3 geopolitical zone. Just because they don't spend money on propaganda does not mean they are not better

Lamido of Jigawa in the north

Chime of Enugu in the South East

and Apiaibo in Akwa Ibom in the South South

tomakint:
Where is aljharem when you need him?......please come do little schooling for these children of anger! Fashola is working indeed......N4 trillion gone down the drain in almost 8 years and Lagos is still looking like this....

My brother, I missed the show but I just want to read the thread

nduchucks:
Aljharem, you of all people know what pro bono means na. We all know that all of these politicians loot with the exception of Buhari, but we must agree that respect for the rule of law in matters like this should prevail.

Except Buhari ?

Haba Ole ni gbogbo won. Buhari inclusive. Yes the rule of law should prevail. You don't get a ticket from a party and defect to another after winning. Where is that done ?

Nigeria their is no ideology just interest. He should serve as an example to others.

The same money meant for development is used to hire lawyers for one man's political ambition. Please what business does Tambuwal have to afford him 68 Lawyers.

Donation ? LOL

Tambuwal is at liberty to recruit 1,000,000 lawyers with a small part of the money he stole to fund APC. The reality, though, is that he is history. He is neither Speaker nor an ordinary member of the House of Reps anymore. He should continue his Africa Magic (drama) until EFCC dusts up his file.

---Omooba Adekunle Orafidiya

Money for the people of Nigeria, embezzled without fear. Tell me what Apc is fighting for, if their governors can take loans worth of billions of naira and tambuawal now with 68 lawyers. There is no way they are better than PDP. They will even do worse .

It will be interesting to know who is paying for the services of those lawyers who, I am sure, are very happy and eager to have a piece of the action. Let the "looted funds" circulate joo! God bless Nigeria.

…as court orders Reps to maintain status quo till Nov 17
By Ikechukwu Nnochiri
The embattled Speaker of the House of Represen-tatives, Hon. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, yester-day, stormed the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court with 68 senior lawyers, saying his life was in great danger.

The Speaker who was equally accompanied to the court by members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the House of Representatives, urged the court to direct the Inspector-General General of Police, Sulaiman Abba to restore his security details.
Addressing the court through his lead counsel, Prince Lateef Fagbemi, yesterday, Tambuwal specifically accused the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and its Chairman Alhaji Adamu Mu’Azu of plotting his downfall.
He said that the two defendants had already conscripted the IGP into the plot to politically eliminate him, hence the abrupt withdrawal of all his security details.

Therefore, Fagbemi, who led five other Senior Advocates of Nigeria that appeared for the Speaker yesterday, urged the high court to compel the defendants to show cause why the security aides hitherto attached to the plaintiff should not be restored.
Meanwhile, Justice Ahmed Mohammed, yesterday, ordered the House of Reps to maintain status quo until November 17 when it would hear both the substantive matter that was brought before it by Tambuwal and two separate preliminary objections that were raised against the suit.
Whereas the PDP and its Chairman, Mu’Azu jointly filed the first preliminary objection, the IGP and the Attorney General of the Federation in their own joint objection, challenged the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the suit.

Nevertheless, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN, yesterday, undertook that nothing would be done to jeopardize the position of the Speaker till the next adjourned date. The AGF through his lawyer, Mr. Okeaya-Inneh, SAN, however urged the court to strike out the suit, contending that “by virtue of section 215(5) of the 1999 Constitution, the court cannot question the powers of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria or any Minister of the Government of the Federation authority to the Inspector-General on lawful directions with respect to the maintenance and securing of public safety and public order as he may consider necessary”.
In their joint counter affidavit to Tambuwal’s originating summons dated October 30, both the AGF and the IGP, told the court that the membership seat of the 1st plaintiff at the House of Reps became automatically vacant at the point of his defection to the 2nd plaintiff, APC.
“That having ceased to be a member of the House of Reps by his voluntary act, neither the 5th nor the 7th Respondents had anything left to declare vacant and did not so declare. That the 1st plaintiff having ceased to be a member of the House in October, there was nothing left for the Respondents to declare”.

The AGF told the court that contrary to Tambuwal’s claims, he argued that at no time was the PDP divided‎. He maintained that the plaintiffs argument that he had always belonged to the New PDP was legally flawed as no such political party existed ‎in Nigeria.
“Contrary to paragraph 12 of the plaintiffs affidavit in support of Originating Summons, the 1st plaintiff was elected to the House of Reps on May 6, 2011 and he vacated his seat automatically by virtue of his defection to the 2nd plaintiff.
“That the 1st plaintiff needs to be a member of the 3rd defendant before he can be elected as the Speaker of the 3rd defendant. That contrary to paragraph 21 of the 1st plaintiffs affidavit in support of the Originating Summons, the New PDP is not recognised by the 6th defendant (INEC).
“That paragraph 26 of the plaintiffs’ affidavit is factually incorrect. The 1st plaintiff cannot be a member of a nonexistent, unregistered political party as the New PDP is neither registered nor recognised by the 6th defendant”.

The AGF further argued that Tambuwal, “is not constitutionally entitled to security details and as such the 5th defendant did not contravene any law by its withdrawal of the 1st plaintiff’s security details”.

He told the court that the PDP and its Chairman, never threatened to use their contact to declare Tambuwal’s seat vacant at the House of Reps “as the seat had already become vacant by virtue of his defection to the 2nd plaintiff.
“That the withdrawal of the security details of the 1st plaintiff was in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which the 5th defendant is under oath to uphold.

“That it would be in the interest of justice to refuse granting the reliefs sought in the plaintiffs’ Originating Summons”, he added.
‎Meantime, the Deputy Speaker of the House, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha who was cited as the 4th respondent in the case, yesterday, declined to enter appearance in court, though he was said to have been served with hearing notice since November 3.
Likewise, counsel to the House of Reps (3rd Respondent) Mr. N.C . Ohanze, told the court that he was just briefed on the matter, even as he sought for time to respond to the suit.

On its part, INEC through its lawyer Mr. T. M. Inuwa, told the court that the Commission had resolved to remain neutral in the matter.
After listening to all the parties yesterday, Justice Mohammed in a short ruling, ‎noted that though both the PDP, AGF and IGP urged him to determine the issue of jurisdiction first, he relied on Order 29 Rule (1) of the High Court Civil Procedure Rules, 2009, and consolidated both the objections and the main suit for hearing on the next adjourned date.

While directing parties to maintain status quo, “I also make an order of accelerated hearing of this matter on weekly basis”, the Judge ruled.
‎Tambuwal had in his suit, told that court that the defendants, “have the propensity to act with impunity and in total disregard for due process‎”.
He pleaded that only a quick intervention of the court could stop the “evil plot” against him.
Besides, he alleged that the defendants, “in further demonstration of their unconstitutional conduct”, connived with the Acting Inspector General of Police, Sulaiman Abba, and withdrew all the security details attached to him as the Speaker of the House, a development he said has exposed him to bodily harm.
He is therefore praying the court ‎for “An order of interim injunction restraining the Defendants/ Respondents herein either by themselves or agents, proxies or otherwise howsoever from taking any steps or further steps to abrogate or diminish or take away or interfere with or infringe the 1st plaintiff’s rights and privileges as the Hon Speaker and as a member of the 3rd Defendant/ Respondent pending the hearing and determination of the motion for interlocutory injunction before this court.
“An order of interim injunction restraining the Defendants/ Respondents herein either by themselves or agents, proxies or otherwise howsoever from taking any steps ‎to remove the 1st plaintiff /applicant from office as the Hon Speaker and member of the 3rd defendant or in any manner whatsoever taking any steps or further steps to abrogate or diminish the 1st plaintiff’s rights and privileges as the Hon Speaker and member of the 3rd defendant pending the hearing and determination of the motion for interlocutory injunction before this court.
“An order of interim injunction restraining the 6th defendant from accepting any nomination of candidates or otherwise organizing a bye-election for the purpose of replacing he 1st plaintiff or taking over his seat as the Hon Speaker ‎and member of the 3rd defendant, pending the hearing and determination of the plaintiff’s motion for interlocutory injunction before this Hon Court.
“An order of interim injunction restraining the 1st , 2nd , 3rd , 4th and 7th defendants, their agents, servants, members or whosoever act for them or in their names or at their instruction from removing, discussing the removal of, or attempting to discuss the removal of the 1st plaintiff as the Hon Speaker and member of the 3rd defendant, pending the hearing and determination of the motion for interlocutory injunction filed by the plaintiffs and pending before this court.
As well as, “An order of interim order of mandatory injunction directing the 5th and 7th defendants, their agents or servants to restore to the 1st plaintiff his security details and all other rights, benefits and privileges appurtenant to the 1st applicant as member of the Hon. Speaker of the 3rd defendant pending the hearing and determination of the plaintiffs’ motion for interlocutory injunction before the court”.
In a five paragraphed affidavit deposed to by one Ejura Patience Ochimana, Tambuwal accused the PDP, Mu’Azu and the Deputy Speaker of the House, Ihedioha of conspiring to remove him from office.
He said: “That when the 1st plaintiff became a member of the 2nd plaintiff, the 1st, 2nd, 5th and the 7th defendants began to intimidate, harass, and use self help against him; and they purported to declare his seat as member of the House of Representatives vacant.
“That in further demonstration of their unconstitutional conduct, the 5th defendant withdrew all his security details and thereafter issued a press statement justifying the said withdrawal by citing provisions of the constitution.
“That in particular the 1st and 2nd defendants have been threatening to use their contacts to ensure that the seat of the 1st plaintiff in the 3rd defendant is declared vacant so that the 6th defendant would organize a bye-election to fill it.
“That the 1st plaintiff received and is receiving threats that the 1st- 5th defendants will cause the 3rd defendant to remove him from the office of Speaker because of his membership of the 2nd plaintiff and the 5th defendant issued a statement in that direction after he withdrew security details of the 1st plaintiff.
“That on the 28th day of October 2014, the 1st and 2nddefendants threatened to forcibly remove the 1st plaintiff from office as the Speaker of the 3rddefendant. That on the 30th day of October 2014, the 3rd and 4th defendants began to strategize on how to unlawfully remove the 1st plaintiff from office as the Speaker of the 3rd defendant.
“That on the 30th day of October 2014, the 5th defendant at the behest of the 1st -4th defendants withdrew his security details thereby exposing him to danger of bodily harm all in their bid to forcibly remove him from office and the 5th defendant issued press statement to that effect.
“That in the circumstances, the applicants are and have become apprehensive that the 1st, 2nd , 3rd, 4th , 5th and the 7th defendants will use unlawful means to make good their threats if this Hon. Court does not intervene to stop them.
“That the Originating Summons pending before this court raises serious and fundamental questions of constitutional importance. That the plaintiffs/applicants undertake to pay damages should their claims turn out to be frivolous.
“That despite the fact of the pendency of the case the defendants herein acting in concert and to sabotage the pending Originating Summons, and in total disregard for due process have concluded plan to forcefully and illegally remove the 1st plaintiff and to replace him.
“There is an urgent need to restore to the 1st plaintiff all his rights and privileges including his security details which were illegally and unconstitutionally withdrawn even when the 1st plaintiff remains as the Hon. Speaker and a member of the 3rd defendant.
“That the 1st , 2nd , 3rd , 4th and 7th defendants are planning to illegally and unconstitutionally reconvene the sitting of the 3rd defendant before 3/12/2014, the date the sitting of the 3rd defendant, was lawfully adjourned to, without following due process for the sole purpose of discussing and perfecting the forceful remove of the 1st plaintiff before the case of the plaintiff is heard and determined.
“That the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 7th defendants have no regards for due process unless this Hon Court intervenes”, he added.
