SadiqBabaSani: The baby lawyer has never won any notable case. Time needed to study the relevant laws of Nigeria is busy spent attacking someone better than his failed lawyer career.
Between, is it True that this Guy was arrested some time ago for a murder?
Why are you so pained by what he said but failing to factually address the issues that he raised
sleek214: Obi met with Tinubu in Rome last year, what were you expecting?
Will Utomi step down for him in another party this time around? Or Tinubu has arranged for someone else to be the conduit pipe?
Interesting how unreliable, untrustworthy, unprincipled, party hopping Utomi was the first presidential candidate of ADC 19 years ago.
anonimi: Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant
Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT
Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.
Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.
The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.
The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.
The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.
Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.
Tjra: Everyone just want a piece of the treasury. Hahaha
Speak for yourself and your leaders looters.
If everyone just wants a piece of the treasury then why did we have a better life with cheap petrol and low debt when Atiku and Obasanjo were in office than now
Will opposition politicians rally around Atiku to take us back to PDP prosperity with low taxes, low inflation, low debt burden, low corruption, low insecurity etc
Reloadedisraelp: u can't fault tinubu on dat ..... Jonathan u should blame., tinubu have told u openly his a stubborn politicians u can't mess with.... Weda obi/atiku or atiku/obi noon can defeat him now that he has grabbed POWER... e go hard even with bombing blah blah blah blah.... My only worries is that u guys want to move from one suffering to another.... From Buhari to tinubu to atiku..... All old men ... E good as suffer no dey teya una ..
Atiku has nothing to do with suffering, being an integral part of PDP’s 16 years of prosperity, low unemployment, less corruption, low debt.
Who is going to ask Tinubu to resign, like he did in 2015 BC, to make Jonathan a one term president and replace him with his 2011 expired northerner Buhari?
Maybe El Rufai would have done that if he was still a freeman instead of being locked up by the clueless dictator he helped answer insecurity questions in Chatham House
oluwaseunamos33: depend on location. here in FCT, i spend 100k on transport only in a month
Are you spending that much because APC politicians are horrible propagandist liars who make false promises?
How much subsidy do you estimate that you are being forced to pay for APC’s massive corruption in the oil sector? Abi when did you ever buy petrol at N70?
anonimi: Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC
January 19, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.
On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.
But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.
It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.
Why did Atiku accept to be a vice president to southerner Obasanjo in 1999, even after he won governorship?
Why did Atiku choose to be a loyal vice president to his southern boss in 2003, when he was pressured to make him a one term president?
2003 was the first time Buhari asked us for the job of president and we refused to give it to him.
Why did Atiku rescue Obi from his political IDP camp in 2019, five years after his protégé Obiano got rid of him from APGA?
newsbook: Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.
Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.
Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.
Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.
But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.
He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.
Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.
These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.
The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.
On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.
He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.
The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.
A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.

Racoon: Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.
Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.
His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.
The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993
It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.
Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.
He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.
“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’
nedekid: So you actually want him to appear before Trump and face scrutiny as usual during a press briefing?
Baba will rather eat his socks and wash it down bath water from several unwashed bodies than appear there.
You may be right about the clueless balablu olodo who relied on El Rufai to answer insecurity questions for him in Chatham House, before he was allowed by Nigerians to hit the ground running, after fighting for power and grabbing it.
I wonder why he didn't ask Ribadu to help him with the answers, since the 2011 ACN candidate was part of his campaign team
garykoeman: If them like let them invite Atiku to British parliament. He will never be president. Old man at 90 looking for a way to recoup back his past failed electoral earnings.
Is that how the OLDER man currently occupying Aso Rock has been recouping his electoral expenditure in Lagos for 27 years and in Nigeria for three years such that there is so much debt for the state and the country, with nothing to show for it
Or what is your explanation for why Tinubu has borrowed more than other presidents and the economy is getting worse with high unemployment complicating insecurity situation?
SadiqBabaSani: The same Jonathan Template, Atiku should go n rest, Obi must never deputize him. The lizard of Ubima Amaechi if he wants should go Nd deputize him, that's his cup of tea
The South must complete 8yrs of leadership in Aso Rock before power returns North
Atiku cannot be using Southerners against each other, in 2014 he convived with Tinubu to remove Jonathan, in 2027 he won't find any worthy Southerner to connive with.
If it's not Obi for President, let Tinubu continue
Obi is well represented by Tinubu, since they are similar in their godfather dictatorial desires, except that while Tinubu succeeded, Obi failed.
By the way, why are you forgetting how Atiku connived with Obi in 2019 to remove an unworthy northerner that Tinubu made president in 2015, four years after calling him expired
Hoii: I just thank God for the area where I live. Constant power supply

How soon do you expect the remaining 25% of us to get adequate power supply like you, based on how APC administrations of Buhari and Tinubu have borrowed more than PDP administrations, despite removing subsidy twice
gabydaniels: Aug 25, 2016 The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has disclosed that the federal government has so far saved the sum of N1.4 trillion for not paying oil subsidy.
He also assured Nigerians that very soon, the foreign exchange market would stabilise going by some radical policies already introduced by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The vice president who spoke in Kano yesterday during the third day of the 15th Joint Planning Board and National Council on Development meeting, urged Nigerians to restore confidence in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, insisting that soonest, the current economic problems would become a thing of the past.
“With the deregulation of the downstream petroleum sector, there has been a significant increase in the availability of petrol throughout the country for the savings of N1.4 trillion on subsidy payments alone,” he said.
“Also, a more flexible exchange rate regime, we will have to decrease the pressure on the external reserve. In the short run of course, there should be consequences for inflation. We expect that with greater priority we have seen in the implementation of the policy by the CBN, the foreign exchange market will stabilise and confidence will be restored.

anonimi: No room for Wike, Fayose in PDP again —Sheriff
Also reacting to the judgment, its apparent beneficiary, Senator Sheriff, vowed to put in place a machinery that would not give room to people like Governors Nyesom Wike and Ayodele Fayose of Rivers and Ekiti states, respectively in any future arrangement in the party.
“I will engineer a restructuring of PDP such that characters like Wike and Fayose cannot find a way through to attain any position of prominence in our party in the future. They have brought shame and agony through the application of their crude and godless politics which is at variance with the principles upon which our founding fathers built our great party.
“We must find a way to sieve things so that only men of character and integrity can come through for positions of responsibility at all levels of our political engagement in the country.
“We must urgently steer the ship of PDP clear of the path of infamy which Wike and Fayose has brought our party, making Nigerians to mistaken PDP as a training ground for thugs. That is the urgent task we have. We cannot continue to advertise thug brand and expect Nigerians to take us seriously,” he said.
Let him leave that place for obi. It’s the turn of the south.
By next year the south would have been president for 17 years while the north would have done only 11 years.
Obi can abandon the man who rescued him in 2019, from the political wilderness that his Obiano protégé sent him 12 years ago. He can go to where Tinubu has set up someone to step down for him like Utomi did last election.
Interestingly, unreliable, untrustworthy, unprincipled, party hopping Utomi was ADC’s first presidential candidate 19 years ago.
lexylaw40: The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.
Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."
The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.
"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.
"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.
"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.
Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.
The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.

Will he weep more than 200 million Nigerians have been weeping since 2015, when we have been forced to pay subsidy due to the massive corruption in APC’s oil sector Abi when did you ever buy petrol at N70 since we allowed Tinubu to end PDP’s deregulation and privatisation driven widespread prosperity with less corruption, lower debt burden, lower unemployment, lower inflation, lower insecurity etc.

ruzell86: That kangaroo ruling by the SC.. has nothing to celebrate about. These APC rogues pulling the strings... know exactly what they are doing. The end justifies the means.
But, whether the APC likes it or not, Waziri will be on the ballot come 2027.
If he likes himself and wants to be on the ballot next year, then he should do everything possible to get all cases against ADC sorted out quickly.
