Why Southwest Won’t Support Buhari In 2019 – Yoruba Elders

By John Andah - April 21, 2018

The Yoruba Council of Elders (YCE) has declared that it will not support President Muhammadu Buhari’s bid to secure a second term in office in 2019.

The group based its decision on the President’s seemingly unwillingness to support the clamour for the restructuring of Nigeria.

Amhappy:
Released to whom?? I thought they said Jonathan promised to give them but was not re-elected? If Jonathan has released the money why are they asking for the money again from the Federal government. If the money was stolen,they should be asking the government to probe what happened to the money not another release.

Amhappy:
Su Buhari is now fulfilling Jonathan campaign promises instead of his. Please tell me another story.

Esseite:
Really... benuenews.com, whatever happened to premium times and other credible news outlets?

N100bn cattle ranch fund: One year after resolution, Reps yet to begin probe

Published January 20, 2018

John Ameh and Ifeanyi Onuba

The House of Representatives has yet to investigate the N100bn disbursed to some states by the Central Bank of Nigeria to build cattle ranches, one year after it passed a resolution on the matter.

The House had passed the resolution on January 20, 2017, following a motion moved by a member from Kogi State, Mr. Sunday Karimi.

The National Economic Council reportedly approved the release of the money in 2014 under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan for the states to build “mini” ranches after clashes between herdsmen and farmers escalated.

But, findings by Saturday PUNCH indicated on Friday that after a year, the House had yet to constitute an ad hoc committee to start the investigation.

When contacted, Chairman, House Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Abdulrazak Namdas, told Saturday PUNCH that he would make inquiries on why the panel was not set up and get back to the newspaper.

Promised you a 100billion... Hmm... Maka y... For whaat..... Geraraahere...

Pentasoft1978:
What do you mean by Atiku's supporter...it's your type that Is suffering and smiling , you want to pretend as if you are not aware of the current situation in Northern Nigeria. Hypocrite.

Mr Abubakar’s purported result implies that no invalid votes were recorded in the 33 states, and none of the 71 other presidential candidates obtained any score.

ANIOMADEI2018:
IF APC is not the answer to our Problems, there is no reason going back to the instigators of the problem.
I'm not a politician but I would do everything not to have PDP in Government in Nigeria.
The greatest tragedy that can befall a nation is for her citizens to suffer collective amnesia. I believe PDP believes Nigerians have short memories, if not, Ibori would not have been included in their convention committee and Jonathan would not have been allowed to talk (He ended up indicting himself as usual anyway).
For those who may have forgotten, kindly joggle your memories with the following words on marble and you will agree with me that what happened in Eagle square on saturday was nothing but gathering of rogues.
Happy reading:

1. I acted based on Jonathan's instruction - Dasuki

2. I didn't give order - Jonathan

3. I collected 350M from Dasuki for consultation - Iyorchia Ayu

4. I only collected $30,000 from Dasuki not N100m - Bode George

5. I got N4.6b from Dasuki for spiritual purposes - Bafarawa

6. I got N650M from Dasuki for my Abuja burnt office - Thisday Obaigbena.

7. I got N2.1b from Dasuki for publicity - Dokpesi

8. I got another N100m from Yuguda he didn't tell me from where - Bafarawa.

9. I gave N100m each to Odili, Jim Nwobodo Bode George and others - Yuguda

10. The president asked me to change N10B to foreign currency for PDP delegates - Dasuki

11. My boss asked me to get $11M from the CBN - Dasuki's account officer.

12. I got order from above to pay Tompolo N13B for Maritime university land. - Nimasa DG.

13. 950m was shared in my house -- Shekarau

With all this looting and many more revealed, some people are still shouting no sign of change yet, they even say it's political persecution.

But I believe, it is the right thing to do.
If you believe too, send this to other people to garner more support for the fight against corruption and looting in our nation. There must be consequences for such crimes otherwise Nigeria will not develop.

Recession didn't just happen, people looted Nigeria into RECESSION happening

AZeD1:
Actually, the person needs to get the South East to vote.

In 2015, Buhari won GEJ by about 2.5M votes.

Kano, Kaduna, Katisna and other North Western/Eastern States recorded above 70% turn out and it's hard to top that in 2019.

On the other hand, the South East recorded about 30% turn out and taking it to 60% reduces the deficit by at least 1million.

For 2019, as of today, Buhari will loose the North Central, and the 55% he won in the South West has shrunk to about 48%.

The PDP has a chance in 2019 and playing their cards right, they can win it.

Since 2001, the Africa Center for Strategic Studies estimates as many as 60,000 Nigerian lives have been lost to violence between Fulani herdsmen and farmers.

Plateau state violence claimed 53,000 lives - report

LAGOS, 8 October 2004

More than 53,000 people were killed during three years of sectarian violence that engulfed Plateau State in central Nigeria, according to a report by a government committee offering the first official death toll of the crisis.

A committee appointed by the Plateau State government investigated the period between 7 September 2001 -- when a week of bloodletting in the state capital Jos left more than 1,000 dead -- to 18 May 2004, when President Olusegun Obasanjo declared emergency rule in the state following the massacre of hundreds of Muslims in the town of Yelwa by a Christian militia.

Edubbs:
I have said it time and time again.
The biggest problem of our country is with the youths, males and females alike.

Look at them!

Every person commenting on this thread is equally playing politics with the dead.

Even though Mr Adesina has clearly explained himself these fools are falling over themselves to make cheap political statements.

Why this cheap hypocrisy from this PDP?

What is the meaning of flags at half mast?

What is the meaning of always playing politics with deaths when they didn't fare better when they were in power?

PDP should let other parties or pressure groups talk and let them continue to bury their heads in shame forever.

Well they know how gullible and fickle Nigerian youths are so they can feel free to continue pulling the dumbness cards of these Nigerians on nairaland.

Question:

In 16 years of power when did the PDP ever fly flags at half mast despite the death of over 20,000 Nigerians.

If you cannot answer this question then whatever politics you are playing with dead Nigerians will visit your own very family.

Fulani herdsmen attack Catholic Church, kill 35 persons in Taraba

Suspected Fulani herdsmen yesterday killed 35 persons and burnt property worth millions of naira in an attack on Ikyo, Catholic Church, Agwaza, Kokonbo, Azer, Lijam, Akesa, Tyow Doshima, Tse Saka and Kwaghlando districts in Takum local government area of Taraba State.

A resident of one of the villages, Hon Peter Kaaov told newsmen on Sunday that the armed men identified to be Fulani headsmen numbering over 70 invaded the villages at about 2pm.

DDeliverer:
Google it na, am I here to defend Jonathan? Am I his media aide?

What a sensible person should do is to condemn these killings perpetrated by the fulani herdsmen and force General Buhari to sit up and protect Nigerians....whether more people were killed during obasanjos time is irrelevant.

baralatie:
and you saying that PMB should turn a blind eye to the killings?

DDeliverer:
People talked about it then.....but it was not this loud because the former President wasn't playing politics with human lives. He tackled herdsmen head-on..

But General Buhari is very quiet while his brothers massacre Nigerians. So everybodystarted shouting.

GavelSlam:
Because it is easy to poison the minds of people now by claiming a Fulani man is trying to dominate and islamize the country.

It's all politics.
