You're welcome .Just be careful with these your blood thirsty fellow party members/supporters , though you've always said that you're not a card carrying member of any party.Even in the PDP we have these kind of people that won't let people express themselves without being shouted at ,silenced and accused of making anti party comments and don't be surprised that some people are more than ready to do anything just to be seen as an ardent member/supporter of the party.But every democracy has always been strengthened by the ability of the people to speak up if they deem it necessary.Freedom of speech and expression should not be slaughtered on the altar of any political affiliation .
Thank you.

APC Makes Us Swear By The Koran

Over 2000 members of the All Progressive Congress (APC) on Tuesday in Suleja decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking on behalf of the decampees, Alhaji Abdullahi L. Sulieman, who was three times Suleja Council chairman, ‎said they had to leave APC because it had no direction, adding that they were also made to swear by the Quran to abide by rules and directives from the party.

''APC is the only party that will make you swear with the Quran to abide by rules and directives of the Party which we did but when we discovered that it is all deceit, we had to leave the Party back to the PDP where we left from''

"We had to return to the party that we can see its structures and development on ground because there is no ward in the 25 Local Government Councils in the state that has not received dividend of democracy through the Ward Development Project."

He also stated that the over 2000 decampees are from ten wards in the state, adding that more will join them.‎

According to Sulieman, he was not financially induced to return to the PDP adding that he returned because of his conviction that PDP has better things in stock for the people of the state.

LaBarca my friend, we will definitely work together from March 30. How did you end up walking in the counsel of the wicked (APC)?

Why standeth thou in the way of the sinners (APC janjarats)?

Why are you sitting in the seat of the scoffers (APC propagandists & hell raisers)?

You are better than this, thus salvation cometh your way after March 28; you shall retrace your steps and shall be redeemed.

For if any man departs from the midst of the janja-rats, he is a new creature, old things have passed away......

The effect of the Minister of Agric should be felt in the market and the stomach. Where is the rice,where is the garri where is the fish where is the the chicken where are the jobs.

We cannot celebrate dams and irrigation where is the food? Adesina is one of those people who is very busy talking and talking. No doubt irrigation is a good thing but government after government has been doing this all over the north. What we need is affordable food for all.
He made promises about rice and fish,how close are we to achieving this. ? Or are we to go swimming in the dams

mrmetoo1:
Funny thing is all those that are insulting the OP have probably never seen or used these trains before. Yet they keep defending something that hasn't been beneficial to anybody, something everyone knows is just a campaign tool. If you don't agree with me, I dare any of you to let go of your regular transportation means and use the trains tomorrow with picture evidence. The cost, the time, the location, etc.

You are going to need to do more than simply making assertions without backing them up with real data, if you wan to be taken seriously. Soi I patiently await the evidence you have to support your assertions above. i.e. the assertion that GEJ's administration actually reduced looting.

I hope you are not counting Soludo and Sanusi's pronouncements on the massive looting in this administration as a reduction. Try not to be a joke, if you would.

dgr8truth:
Why asking a question that the answer to most of us is obvious.

In 2003 the last year of Obj first tenure according to transparency international we were 2nd (no. 132 of 133 ) most corrupt country in the world. In 2007 the last year of Obj second tenure we were in no. 147 out of 179 and in 2014 we are in no. 136 of 179. So in GEJ tenure so far we have moved 11 points up the ladder of less corrupt countries.

GEJ may not be fighting corruption the way Obj did but he is definitely winning the war against corruption. Beside Obj's anti-corruption crusade never yielded meaningful result other than political bullying and intimidation.

Facts don't lie and though some may live to forget yesterday others don't.

Please note dates in bold. Kind of contradicts your version?

Sometimes I feel for the “poor” Nigeria voters who are constantly fed with half-truth and in some instances, outright lies. We are at it again, being told how perfect, stable Naira was under Buhari. To even quote GMB,



************************************************************

“And if you recall by the time we were removed, one naira was equal to 1.2 or 1.5 dollars. The naira was run down to N80 to a dollar by General Babangida’s regime”


. http://www.thecable.ng/exclusive-interview-im-opposed-muslim-muslim-ticket-says-buhari/2


****************************************************************


Two things are involved here:

1. At no point during the administration of IBB was naira N80 to a dollar, the highest it was at parallel market was N21.90

2. When Buhari took over in 1983, the Naira was exchanging for N 0.724 to a dollar, by the time he left office, the Naira was exchanging at between N1.5 to 1.7 in the parallel market. We will make use of the N1.5 exchange rate.
From 1983 to 1985, the Naira moved from 0.724 to 1.5 representing a 107% depreciation of the Naira!

The question therefore, with 107% depreciation of naira from 1983 to 1985, how stable was the naira under Buhari?

Jorussia:
Why are you now bringing GMB into my unbiased love for Adesina?I watched GeJ's rally in benin, ahmadu Ali and metuh openly confessed that GMB is good and holy Man. I don't see anything wrong in acknowledging SB from anoda party if he/she is doing well.GMB nv spent two years in office, and it is on record he reduced inflation rate drastically and he ensured the stability of Naira. If john maccain,a former military officer/war prisoner could aspire to become the president of AMERICA,I don't see anything wrong in GMB,aspiring to be our president. The military govt have its mode of operations,which is completely different from Democratic dispensation. If in trying to wipe out corruption and indiscipline, GMB used crued and supposedly harsh methods, i will exonerate him,because he couldn't have done otherwise, considering that he ruled in a military regime. Military even in a Democratic dispensation,'rarely' respect human rights, take the allegations against the CIA in their brutal way of extracting statements from terror suspects and detainees.

I am an unrepentant supporter of GMB

nduchucks:
Guy, not everything about GEJ's government is awful, I readily admit that, but I also admit that looting in his government and misappropriation of public funds has been the worst in our history.

Shydon:
It's only fair to identify and appreciate workaholics. Akinwumi is a typical example of an intelligent workaholic. Hard-work truly pays. Kudos to the best governor in the Nigeria of today- Kwankwaso! Kwankwasiyya is the Progressives Movement to beat.

Jorussia:
I am an unrepentant supporter of GMB,but i love adesina. I haven't heard him involving in the politics of his state, that is to tell you,that he is a complete Gentle man and technocrat.

CyberWolf:
But Obiageli thinks otherwise, ..she said that GEJ's agricultural reform is a scam..

...F A C T.. C H E C K ...

'Obasanjo and Atiku in 8 years built one UNIVERSITY each for themselves....Bells and ABTI.
They built NONE for Nigerians.

Jonathan and Sambo in 4 years built 14 (FOURTEEN) new universities for all Nigerians.
NONE for themselves.

NOTE: OBJ and ATIKU are now consultants/sponsors/piloters/members of APC....
They too are seeking CHANGE!!!

I choose TRANSFORMATION than this their CHANGE.
