"Tinubu's party had no choice"

"Tinubu admitted" .....

Written in third person. The words you are referring to weren't quoted to suggest that Tinubu is the owner.

You act like journalist don't try to buffer stories with their own suggestions. Else they would have written "Tinubu claims that Buhari and his ilks"....

Try again. Re-read the wiki.

This explains the reason most of you people fail JAMB

Tinubu rules out alliance with CPC
March 21, 2011


Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”

Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.

The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.

“What has CPC got to offer? [size=14pt]We certainly don’t need expired leadership[/size] as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”

I need you to dig up the primary sources.

Yes, the image looks nice, but dig up the primary source. Thanks.

I'm really interested in what Tinubu said about Buhari because so far, no one has been able to come up with an answer.

Ilekeh:
What did Tinubu say about Buhari?

I'm beginning to have bad feelings about this change of a thing. We all enjoyed the thrill of beating the incumbents at their game but .... may God help the General.


If Bukoka could be Kwara state governor for eight years and a senator of the federal republic for 4 years and Ilorin>Kisi>Kaiama road will still be in shambles. He then doesn't deserve a place in the hallowed Change.

Solomon30:
Since the president-elect gmb won the April 11th poll, he has sort of been pessimistic and always giving reasons why much should not expected of his administration. In a clear language he has said the north east and west are his priorities. He has not been hopeful, enthusiastic and passionate as he ought for an incoming president. Honestly, I just hope we have not got ourselves shrewd.

Bevista:
There is no place in that article that the General said his agenda was threatened. He simply highlighted Challenges, something every corporate leader (whether in private business or public service) does. You need to be objective about the issues, so you can come up with the right strategies to tackle them. I'm sure most of you will learn this as you become leaders.

Stop commenting based on headlines, please always read the body of the article.

philips70:
Nigerian press is the worst worldwide. I listened to the speech and never saw where this man showed fear nor anxiety rather he was admonishing them to support him in his quest to take Nigeria out from it's current dismal position. Still TANkids have found[b] another headline they will feed on[/b]. I urge Seun to sack all his mods and do this job himself even if it will make only 3 front page posts per day.

arbitter:
Why does the Nigerian media loves making fake headlines like that anyway. Oh right probably to give ldiots like the ones flooding this thread excuses to start talking nonsense.

Anyway i trust that the intelligent people know what to deduce from this article, while the ldiots continue to rant here thinking they've got a point.

ABUJA—THE President- elect, General Muhammadu Buhari yesterday painted a gloomy picture in the economic development of his administration as he said that the decline in the revenues due to fall in oil prices poses a great threat to his administration’s development agenda.

@Bolded
For this particular line in your comment, you're a very useless hypocrite. I thought you Barcanista told us that "Buhari is clean" and Obasanjo gave him a clean bill absolving him of all those allegations after he (Obasanjo) studied the report from the audit carried on Buhari's PTF Administration?? Were you high on spoilt beans then?? You're just a totally messed up personality. It's a big shame.

LEST WE FORGET

These are some of those clamouring for 'change':

Bola Tinubu's pension:...

1) Two houses in choice locations in Lagos and Abuja
2) Six brand new vehicles replaceable every 3 yrs
3) Salary for life
4) 300percent of that salary as furniture allowance every two years
5) Full medicals for him and his family
6) Security detail

Rotimi Amaechi's pension:

1) Two houses (one in Rivers and the other anywhere he chooses)
2) Full salary for life
3) 300percent of that salary as furniture allowance every four years
4) Three vehicles replaceable every four years
5) Free medicals
6) 10percent of salary as house maintenance
7) Full security detail
cool 30percent car maintenance, 10percent entertainment, 20percent utilities.

Bukola Saraki's pension:

1) Three cars replaceable every 3yrs
2) A "well-furnished 5bedroom duplex"
3) 300percent furniture allowance
4) Full security detail (8 policemen, 3 DSS operatives one of which must be female)
5) 30percent for car maintenance, 20percent for utility, 10percent for entertainment and 10percent for house maintenance.
NB: As a Senator, this ex-gov also draws salary worth millions and a N40m quarterly allowance.

Sani Yerima's pension:

1) Salary for life
2) Two vehicles replaceable every 4yrs
3) Two personal staff
4) Free medicals for the govs and their families
5) A house and free office
6) Free telephone
7) A 30day paid vacation abroad
NB: This ex-gov too is a serving Senator who recieves outrageous salaries and allowances.

Every one who has some grey matter, no matter the quality, should ask:

WHAT TYPE OF CHANGE ARE YOU BRINGING WHEN YOU HAVE CORNERED THE FINANCES OF YOUR PEOPLE FOR YOUR PERSONAL COMFORT?

What else is corruption?

Tell me this is not true

Anonymous1900:
Your right, definitely June 7 - 8th---The 41st G7 summit will be held in Schloss Elmau, Bavaria, Germany on June 7–8, 2015 (No sane leader would invite a president elect to such when there is still a sitting president and then have the ambassador announce it to the press).. Just part of the issues of half baked media houses and their biased reporting

Controversies are currently trailing how the immediate past governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, obtained his invite to attend the recently held Democratic Party convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA.

http://nationalmirroronline.net/news/50902.html

There are allegations that the politician who is also the National Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), paid the sum of $5000 to obtain the generic invitation from the Democratic Party campaign office, against his claim that he was personally invited to attend by President Barack Obama as the leader of opposition in Nigeria.

It has, however, been revealed that contrary to claims by him and his aides, Obama did not personally extend what has been dubbed by Tinubu “a gold card invitation” to attend the event.

According to investigations by reporters of a United States based online medium, Sharpedgenews. com, the invite received by Tinubu was a generic kind sent out to donors by the campaign organisation.

The medium also revealed that the Democratic National Convention (DNC) denied ever inviting Tinubu on any official capacity as the “leader of opposition” in Nigeria.


The media team of Tinubu had claimed that he was invited to the Convention in his capacity as the leader of the opposition.

Prior to the convention, Tinubu’s media aide, Sunday Dare said “Tinubu will be at the ring side as the Democratic Party conduct activities that will culminate in the nomination of President Barrack Obama as its candidate for the November 2012 Presidential elections in the USA.”

He added, “Tinubu receives a gold card invitation which is prime and with this, he will be joined by three other eminent personalities – Governor Kayode Fayemi of Ekiti State, Speaker, Lagos state House of Assembly, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, and former Commissioner for Information and Strategy in Lagos state, Mr Dele Alake.”

DNC sources, irked by the suggestive news reports which is being interpreted that Barack Obama may have extended a preferential invitation to Tinubu in spite of similar politicians in his native country of Nigeria, said that such notion was far from the reality as was claimed by the ACN leader.

The DNC source explained that the invite that was given to Tinubu was a generic type that similarly went to whoever donated more than $5,000 to the Obama campaign.

“The invitation card sent to Tinubu, the former senator from Nigeria, was generic and it generally goes from the campaign organization and not personally from President Obama,” the highly placed source explained under condition of anonymity.

While efforts to get across to many of Tinubu’s aides proved abortive, Lagos State Publicity Secretary of the ACN, Mr. Joe Igbokwe who spoke with Sunday Mirror in a telephone conversation, said I’ve not read the online report and I cannot comment on what I’ve not read.”
