OAFMods: Ans pdp could not do any of this in 16 years
PDP’s deregulation and privatisation policies did far better than APC’s palliative sharing policies in our economy.
16 years of widespread prosperity, cheap petrol, low debt burden, low unemployment rate, less insecurity and better life changed to extreme poverty for Nigerians in 2015.
insidelife22: E be like she don Chop Escobar money 🤑🤑🤑
As in it’s a personal matter to the Oga at the top of Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC.
Otherwise, we won’t hear anything from EFCC, if it was our own money that she stole.
chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.
Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.
Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.
The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.
The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.
Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.
The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.
But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.
During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).
The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.
Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.
Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:
“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.
“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”
WorldRichest: . Ask your brothers in Europe , some of them are still living on Food Banks.
There are Food Banks all over Europe because there are poor people all over the world. Even Nigerian doctors, law, engineers, when they first stove in Europe, they live on Food Banks. So shut the fucck up and go and collect your own before hunger kee you
Them are people living in posh areas of European cities who drink water from shitty boreholes too, abi?
Is that the reward for coughing up forever ♾️ increasing taxes and growing budget 100 times in 27 years?
TimeManager: Na our mama be dis o.. National community food bank across 774 LGs, surely will create more jobs across the supply chain and also helps the vulnerable have more access to food deliveries.
PS; It would be interesting to see some folks who literally worship their white masters like the US who has a similar food program such as the food stamp, come in here frowning at this food initiative in Nigeria.
-Kiss the truth!
Will any of these stomach infrastructure palliative foods be necessary if her husband created the millions of jobs promised, and crashed petrol price as well as dollar rate, like an ọmọlúwàbí?
HacheNoire: Effort in futility! Jide will be the last APC governor in Lagos State. Lagosians are wiser now!
A few cannot make the state a cash cow! We demand better!
A vibrant and patriotic Omoluabi, who is ready to take Lagos to where it actually belongs is what is needed now. Same mistakes don’t yield different results. A vote for Hamzat is a vote for same cabals milking the state dry.
Is Tinubu not the head of this cabal that has made the state a cash cow for the last 27 years of his master plan that can't deliver water and fails to deliver free education to all children as a progressive
Chucks13: God of Gej not finished with them yet cus only rl tufai and mallami still roasting that nemesis hand must touch atiku, obi, aregbe in a very nasty way and it will happen soon as God is using one of them that stood against Gej as their punishment the breakfast will soon reach these 3 evil people.
You corrupted and destroyed the system now coming to tell me you are the messiah wallahi e nor go work.
When will the breakfast reach the gang leader looter who now having his turn in Aso Rock
DeclanR: Everything about Nigeria and life scare me.
Woke up this morning without a dime, not even food(cooked or raw). God!
No need to be scared. E fokan bale, calm down and find a location to collect your share of APC progreThieves palliative empowerment in the absence of promised jobs to earn a living in dignity.
lawani: PDP votes and church votes are the reasons and in Yoruba land church votes would be the majority. Remove church votes and LP would not have been more than 100k in Lagos, you can check the other elections in Lagos. If the contest were straight between Atiku and Tinubu, there is no question about who would have won and it would have been with a landslide
How is your above answer related to the post below
AMINDA: So explain why Atiku won Osun, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa and still got as high as 100k plus votes in some Southwestern states. Did they not consider that it was the turn of the South before voting Atiku? Or it just didn't matter much to them?
jmoore: Power rotation between north and south plays a big role. Obi and Atiku can no longer work.
The power rotation Tinubu broke in 2015 by making Jonathan a one term president in favour of a northerner he described as expired four years earlier?
By the way, how much power rotation are they using in Britain, America, Canada etc to share their national cake so they remain attractive destinations for our japa dreams
He is doing very well for himself and the country that will benefit almost entirely from his intellect while Nigeria continues to get worse in all areas of human endeavour dud to japa brain drain syndrome.
I want to sell a script to a Hollywood studio. The story is about a guy who owns a farm that constantly runs at a loss but never quite shuts down.
The farm is massive and underutilised, and the protagonist has all the opportunities in the world to improve its output and get a bumper harvest.
He has access to credit, machinery, free irrigation and gifts from neighbouring farmers, but all he ever does with these things is drink and smoke them away while his family suffers.
Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world
Apart from drinking, smoking and generally being utterly useless, his other pastime is to pump out children at an industrial rate. Needless to say, he takes no care of his children whatsoever, and many of them fail to survive childhood.
Those who do survive have to leave the farm and hire themselves out as hired labour to the neighbouring farmers, having picked up some survival skills from home.
With time, a number of them rise through the ranks and become senior managers, directors and even shareholders in these other farms while their father continues mismanaging his farm.
When good news about some of these successful children gets home, their father is filled with pride and joy, but when they end up on the wrong side of life, he acts as if he never knew them.
The successful ones make efforts to revamp their childhood home by sending back money and volunteering their skills and time, but all this guy ever wants to do is be a 62-year-old underachieving idiot carried through life by charity and luck.
Famzing” diaspora success is dishonest I’m sure before the end of the second paragraph, you figured out whose story I was telling. The 62-year story of post-independence Nigeria — which the Hollywood studio would surely reject for being too sad with no redemption — is that of our fictional antihero.
Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world.
Remember how everyone from corporate brands to Abike Dabiri made a big song and dance about supporting Anthony Joshua the “Nigerian,” whose only chance to become someone in life came when his parents emigrated from Nigeria?
Remember how things turned when he somehow lost against that chubby Mexican dude whose name I can’t remember? Remember when the Super Falcons won the female AFCON title and received a congratulatory tweet from the president, only for them to have to stage a protest before being paid their camp allowances?
That’s what we do in Nigeria. We try to live vicariously through the achievements of people who have achieved great things under their own steam, simply because said people happen to be called ‘Ifeoma,’ ‘Efe’ and ‘Ayotunde.’
Even when Nigeria had absolutely nothing to do with said success, or in fact happened in spite of Nigeria, as with Divine Oduduru, we bask in the reflected glory of their personal achievements.
Sometimes when those people wear a Nigerian flag or post something about Wizkid or Jollof Rice on Instagram, we go crazy with the Nigerian flag emojis because oh my god, they identify with us!
This is not about being a Killjoy Somehow, the complete failure of Nigeria and our complicity in its failure is more bearable when we point at Nigerian immigrants doing great things in life and say “I knew Femi before he started calling himself Anthony.
His father and I were classmates in Aiyetoro.” It is unclear how exactly this helps our situation but hey, it’s also unclear how chugging the amount of alcohol we do helps either.
Escapism is a key part of our culture, and anyone who dissents must be a non-Jollof-eating, vegetarian heretic, and possibly also an atheist.
Now while all this is painfully cringey to my eyes, some will also point out that Nigeria is not the only country that has a weird obsession with its diaspora population.
Even ‘first-world’ countries like Ireland continue to have deep emotional and economic connections to their diaspora, and in any case Nigerians proudly supporting Anthony Joshua or the NBA’s Giannis Ante…African-sounding-name is basically harmless fun. They’re not hurting anyone. Why be such a killjoy, David?
The reason this matters can be found in a quote that has been dubiously attributed to Russian President Vladmir Putin, where he describes Africa as the place where its diaspora does not invest in, but returns to only to die and be buried with their ancestors.
While there is no concrete evidence that Mr. Putin ever actually made that comment, the truth in it is painfully poignant.
For diaspora success to be meaningful to Nigeria, it must correlate to on-ground results in Nigeria. The example of Somalia shows that having a well-educated, globally successful diaspora while being an absolute basket case are both possible at the same time.
SadiqBabaSani: Ohboiii This man needs to retire alongside Atiku , One of the highest ranking Senator, but not amongst the guys Tinubu wants returned for stability of the Senate simply because Emilokan does not like to hear the truth
How many years did Biden spend in the senate before he became president?
What of McCain and Bernie Sanders?
Is America worse off because of this longevity and cognate experience of its lawmakers and even its presidents
callmeDDD: See what the commissioner was saying. So they must be registered for them to be kidnapped. What about the people going inside the bush and got kidnapped? They didn't get permission to farm and get necessary documents to show the kidnappers so that they won't be kidnapped?
Instead of them securing the lives of their citizens, they will always look for excuse to defend their incompetence and blame the victims. This country is a joke.
How can the country be a joke if it is not filled with jokers, who nevertheless think ourselves smart
Ishilove: Orphanage again? Have these degenerates no boundaries??
Realistically, if the leaders looters allowed to emerge from among us into public service positions have no boundaries in their wrecking of our society, why should these petty criminals have any
For example, in the last 27 years, what have all the 150 or so governors done with our money such that we don't have water available to buildings? What can be more basic than water supply in governance
500 gallons of water go for N20k. Multiply by 4 in a month, that's N80k. By extrapolation, that's N960k in a year on water alone. Why? Because the governor believes that clean and accessible water is the least of his worries. Yet they prance around like Enugu is Abuja even though the red muddy soil will have residents looking like they went tomb-raiding at night.
But then, considering where it was before Peter Mba, one can understand the accolades being that he moved the town from 16th Century to 17th Century but not anywhere near 20th Century. 21st Century is a stretch. EEDC? The worst of all.
The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”
While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.
He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’
WizardOfNG: The forum can see you for who you are.
See me for being a truth sayer, who makes appropriate comparisons to expose the most vile of our leaders looters?
Or what else is there to know
How much budget growth from huge tax burden on Lagosians did Jakande have in just four years to achieve all the below? Has Tinubu's master plan of 27 years lootocracy achieved a tiny fraction of this?
If military dictator Buhari locked Jakande up for corruption, where do you think that Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo Olu belong? Somewhere worse than a prison? Hell perhaps, after being stoned to death
Splashme: The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.
Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.
The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.
Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”
The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.
Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.
He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?
IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

anonimi: My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola
What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?
At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.
That is Tinubu?
Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.
He wanted to be a commissioner?
Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.
Was Tinubu very close to MKO?
Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.
dododawa1: Factions of the Peoples Democratic Party, African Democratic Congress, Accord Party, and Labour Party have rejected the Ibadan opposition summit, stating it does not represent their official stance. They reaffirmed plans to field separate candidates against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
The PDP National Working Committee, backed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, claimed that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President David Mark, former Governors Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano), Peter Obi (Anambra) and other opposition figures were misled by ‘’impostors’’ who organised the summit.
Who is surprised by this reaction of beggarly Wike, after hijacking the party that made him from a lowly LGA chairman under Odili to two ministerial positions and governor for two terms
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.
2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury
Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.
ddippset: Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.
Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku. He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.
He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party.. Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.
This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.
He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.
Meektunz: This is Hon. Lalu panpe a member representing mangu in the house of representatives. He stopped by to assist some builders by the road side in Jos. I just hope Nigerians have learnt and become wiser.
How can deliberately impoverished people learn anything beyond our tribalistic zoning and rotation of offices to share the national cake, which endorses corruption wholesale
A few cups of rice, wads of Naira and some other horrible stomach infrastructure empowerment will make us line up in Stockholm syndrome sufferer stylee.
anonimi: The eyesore on Bourdillon Road 2nd January 2025
Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.
If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.
That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.
WizardOfNG: This is why I am a big fan of AI. Apart from it's main uses of providing real time solutions for those who need those to apply to socio-economic, business, personal and professional challenges AI, as a source of accurately archived info, makes it easy to discredit insincere folks like you in seconds. See two distinct answers and proof below that AI suppliers proof in seconds for what I knows and can prove but may have spent time searching to find historical coverage of. You are not serious nor sincere. You have never being that. Merely someone who shift shape to support his prejudiced and personal obsession with demonising Tinubu and making the man appear villainous.
Whereas you support those in thr category of worst ever who can aspire to lead Nigeria. Try and wriggle out of what is shown below because I know you will try since Nigerians like you never admit maligning others wrongly and have no capacity for apologising when exposed for doing wrong.
Tinubu is an all-round good guy. His pragmatic choices may not always resonate well with ordninaty Nigerians with an incomplete view of the big picture but he always means well and show up to defend/support who/what is in the best interest of society.
Something that can never be said of your Dubai-Dweller messiah Atiku.
How can anyone be worse than Tinubu in our country?
Who has raised budget of a state 100 times from forever increasing tax burden on people for IGR growth without providing commensurate government services and utilities by well paid civil servants? Who is that worse leader looter than Tinubu
The same sadistic modus operandi is what Oga at the top of Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC is doing in Abuja since May 2023.

NgeneUkwenu: See yeye tactics by the Failed coalition of Northern fraudsters trying to remain relevant. They thought by blackmailing the judiciary, the judgement would go their way.
Law doesn't respect emotions. The honourable justices of the Supreme Court are going to pass judgement based on the facts before them..and not on any online gutter emotional manipulations.
So true that Wike's judges will do what he asks them to do for Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Crooks, APC, to keep Tinubu's 2027 safe and his 3rd term agenda for life president secure.
iwaeda: Wike Boasts Of Helping APC Use Judiciary To Kill Osun LG Funds Case, Warns Party Leaders Against Ingratitude
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly boasted that he assisted certain elements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in deploying the judiciary to frustrate the Osun State local government allocation lawsuit.
In a video now circulating widely on social media and obtained by SaharaReporters, Wike made the claim while addressing a crowd in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The former Rivers governor accused the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, of benefitting from judicial actions against the Osun State Government without knowing those who did the work behind the scenes.
The suit in question led to the withholding of local government funds in Osun State, a development widely seen as targeting the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as opposition in the state.
Wike, who spoke angrily, suggested that the court action supporting the APC’s position against the Osun government did not happen by chance, boasting that powerful political forces worked quietly to ensure the outcome.
“Don’t take our support for Mr President for granted,” Wike warned, in an apparent message to APC leaders defending Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “You have to be careful about the statements you make. You have to be very careful.”
He accused Basiru of political ingratitude, claiming the APC was enjoying in Osun State without understanding who engineered their advantage.
“Today, you are enjoying in Osun. You don’t know those who did the work,” Wike said. “You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State.”
When you dig a hole for your enemy, be careful not to fall into it yourself. Reminds me of Dr. Orlando Owoh's song about asaro elepo rederede for the children of two rival wives.
Annyway, na so oversabi take kpai wicked, ologogoro Wike and helped Tinubu have his own turn at worsening APC extreme poverty and insecurity shege three years ago.

Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.
ddippset: Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.
Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku. He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.
He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party.. Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.
This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.
He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.
500 gallons of water go for N20k. Multiply by 4 in a month, that's N80k. By extrapolation, that's N960k in a year on water alone. Why? Because the governor believes that clean and accessible water is the least of his worries. Yet they prance around like Enugu is Abuja even though the red muddy soil will have residents looking like they went tomb-raiding at night.
But then, considering where it was before Peter Mba, one can understand the accolades being that he moved the town from 16th Century to 17th Century but not anywhere near 20th Century. 21st Century is a stretch. EEDC? The worst of all.
The Permanent Secretary, Office of Drainage Services and Water Resources in Lagos State, Mahmood Adegbite, has said that people drilling borehole in the Lekki axis of the state is probably drinking ‘’shit water.”
While speaking at a stakeholders meeting in the state recently, Adegbite noted that contaminated boreholes in Lekki pose health risk and added that treatment of waste water would eradicate any form of disease that may arise from it.
He said, “On waste water treatment, I will say that everyone digging borehole within the Lekki axis is probably drinking what I will call ‘shit water.’
BarrElChapo: One of the worst if not the worst minister of Power, we’ve ever had.
Although I’ll blame BAT who gave a career bank that portfolio.
He is better by far than Fashola who refused to confirm what Adelabu Penkelemess confirmed courageously- that 75% of Nigerians have adequate power as promised by A-looter Propaganda Congress, APC 11 years ago when they asked that we give their 2011 expired Buhari, the job of president.
Do you blame Buhari for Fashola's failure as a lawyer in charge of the power ministry?
By the way, is Dangote an engineer to own cement factories, refinery etc
WizardOfNG: You always make comments that defy factual reality to leave folks wondering the world you live in. Which 8 year agreement for the South was made on behalf of GEJ who was only in power, on the 8 year slot of the North from 2007 to 2016, because Yar Adua died? Let's go down memory lane. Jonathan was in power for 5 years out of what was an 8 year slot of the North that detests being out of power for even a day.
Fact check and you will not Tinubu was one of the prominent leaders then ( mainly Yorubas) who insisted GEJ must be sworn in as substantive President when Yar Adua eas comatose overseas.
What did Atiku contribute then? Point to where he intevened to democratically insist Jonathan be formally declared substantive President when the Turai Yar Adau , Edevbie and Aondoakaa cabal was determined to keep cashing in on Yar Adua's name.
Thanks, as usual to vociferous voice of Yorubas, who are the conscience of Nigeria when they have to be from Wole Soyinka etal, while others hid, who protested publicly for GEJ to be sworn in as substantive President in 2010 a year before the 2011 election that would have been Yar Adua second term of 4 years on behalf of the slot of the North.
Stoo revising recent history, we all lived through, senselessly. 2007 to 2015 was not the slot of the South even as GEJ was in Aso Rock by accident.
If you have fact checked your claim, why did you fail to share the information and sources
When did you make then Senate President David Mark a Yoruba man?
What did Tinubu do when democrat Atiku led other democratic heroes to be loyal to our constitution as Obasanjo tried and failed to secure a 3rd term as a prelude to life president?
Flangelo12: There's no Christian Genocide in Nigeria.
I wonder why the same is not said in Mali.
Are you not better off stopping your unhelpful sobolation about Mali, and asking why Tinubu invited Trump to kill innocent northerners on Christmas day, under the guise of looking for Muslim terrorists accused of Christian genocide
aswani: To be fair, a lot of Northerners respect that 8 year informal rotation agreement, even in their political class, it's just a few that includes Atiku, wey nor send.
This post Buhari death elections is a good test sha because he was the one ensuring Northern politicians toe the line.
Why did northerner Jagaban of Borgu fail to respect the 8 years agreement in 2015 when he recycled military dictator Buhari as APC change messiah, four years after calling him expired
chidiokay: Look here you can play All the mischief you guyz in apc learn from your father buh its complete mediocre We know Peter obi might be classified as politician buh he is not a naija kind of politician ... Infact one of Peter obi weakness is he doesnt do internal politics transactions, he just want a platform
He is not a naija kind of politician because he failed woefully at being a corrupt godfather to Obiano, who got rid of him in APGA 12 years ago? Or because he says what he does not mean and is a master pretender?
Whats political master's usefulness to Nigerians, the foolish old man has had more policy somersaults Bandits and terrorist are ravaging the country more ... Where is " strategist" Now we know Tinubu strategist bandwidth no pass " dirty politics" The foolish old man could not even fullfill electricity promise to aso villa ..he go do solar
ogbeni mechonu jare, what master, buying people, playing dirty and bypassing rules. ALL that nunsense talk he is strategist he is maradonna naa for una zombie in APC ..how that one take help Nigeria
Tinubu can not win election in any democratic country with a credible election and credible institutions. We know his game
Tinubu's strategy got Utomi to lure Obi out of PDP in 2023 and made his path to victory easy for continuing APC extreme poverty and insecurity shege
You are entitled to your opinion, but you are not entitled to your fabricated facts.
jameshankss: Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”
Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.
He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
givedemwotowoto: I’ve asked you before, who’s your candidate? Let’s examine his antecedents and see how perfect he is compared to Obi
Which one of the viable aspirants has been most consistent about privatisation and deregulation policies, in addition to being a cornerstone of PDP's 16 years of widespread prosperity, low debt, cheap petrol, less insecurity, lower corruption, better life etc
anonimi: Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?
In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;
or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority? @ @ The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.
Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.
WizardOfNG: Lol. No bigger servant of Atiku and Arewa on NL than Aminda, Anonimi and Odin13. They will defend Atiku and Arewa above and beyond anything and anyone.
A waste of time though because no one needs 'one Nigeria' more than the North that knows she will be no better than Niger Republic and Mauritania but for the South.
Once the rotation agreement is truncated by the North then Nigeria is finished because Yoruba, unlike some certain group of empty noisemakers, won't accept being second class to anyone in Nigeria and we know how to be effectively rebellious.
This is something Northerners are aware of too and the decent ones amongst them will be the ones to go above and beyond to ensure Tinubu wins because they need 'One Nigeria'. Yorubas don't.
If Yorubas don't need Nigeria as much as, if not more than the north, then why did Yorubas fail to secede in 1966/67 when Biafra offered us the opportunity? Was that because smart Gowon made Awolowo his civilian vice after freeing him from prison?
If Yorubas don't need Nigeria as much, if not more than northerners do, then why did Yorubas follow Tinubu 11 years ago, to make Jonathan a one term president, in favour of his 2011 expired northerner?
Perhaps your Jagaban of Borgu is more northerner than Yoruba and knows something that you need to find out from him about One Nigeria
The eye service mistake that Yoruba AD leaders made 23 years ago and Obasanjo captured all south west states except Lagos, because democrat Atiku fought for Tinubu to be spared?
This was two years after Obasanjo's AGF Bola Ige was killed. Interestingly, the most important murder suspect, Omisore was made a senator from prison by Obasanjo in the 2023 general elections.
Do you think that non-prosecution and non-conviction of anyone for Bola Ige's murder inspired those who killed the 1999 presumptive AD Lagos candidate, Engr. Funsho Williams in the run up to 2007 election, which then politically unknown Fashola won to continue Tinubu's lootocracy TAX monster plan for the state
chino11: You were the governor of Oyo State at the time Chief Ajibola Ige was murdered. What was your experience then?
It was a bitter experience. That very day was a Sunday. It was the day we had our Christmas carol at the Government House. It was a norman Sunday; everything was going on fine. The carol came and went from 4:15 to 6:00pm that day. And then everybody dispersed. As if I got a signal of what was coming, my speech that day was centred on security in Oyo State. I called on the Commissioner of Police and the Inspector General of Police to strengthen security in Oyo State because an old school mate, Engineer Adegeebo, had been assassinated near his house in Bodija a week earlier.
Every cleric went home and I retired to Government House. I played for some time. Then I went to my room to treat some files. I was doing that when suddenly the phone rang. It was land line we were using then. The operator said that somebody wanted to speak with me. Then I picked the call and it was a brother to my deputy. He said he was asked to tell me that Chief Bola Ige had been shot by some unknown assassins. I was confused immediately. I didn’t know what to do. But later I regained my strength and quickly went down without telling my wife what was happening. It was 9:55 pm. I sent for my PS because all the ADC and other security staff had gone to their places of abode. I told him to drive me in one of the private cars. Inside the car, I told him that Uncle Bola Ige had been shot by some gunmen, that I was going to check him at Catholic Hospital, Oluyoro. The man who informed said Ige was taken to Oluyoro.
The place I have been treading for over 60 years, I remember that I lost my way. I was just going round and round until I gained my consciousness again. Immediately the gateman saw me, he quickly opened the gate. There, we saw Uncle Dele Ige, who was already rolling on the ground. I went straight to the room where Bola Ige was lying. I saw marks of bullets on his body. He slept with his face up. He was somehow breathing but the breathing was abnormal. I saw where the bullet penetrated on the left side. I saw it myself. Uncle Bola Ige was wearing shirt and trousers. And I saw Muyiwa standing by the side of the bed. He was wailing. He appealed to me, saying: ”Uncle, please tell the doctor to wake up my Daddy. Tell him. The doctor can do it.” Then, I approached the doctor and asked him the situation. The doctor called me to one side and told me that he was dead. He said: “Sir, Your Excellency, Uncle is gone. There is nothing we can do. They shot him straight in the heart. He asked me not to tell Muyiwa.
I almost betrayed my emotion when I got back into the room where Uncle was lying with Muyiwa beside his bed. I just quickly gathered myself and told Muyiwa that I was going to see the head of the hospital. That was how I bolted away. I came back to the Government House to inform Mr. President, who was Obasanjo at that time.
By the time I was going upstairs to my room, to try and tell Operator to phone Mr. President for me, the phone was already ringing. When I got into my room, it was still ringing. I quickly picked it up and it was Obasanjo. He the Operator said the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria wants to talk to you. Then I asked him to put him on. The question Obasanjo just asked was: “Is he certified dead?” I said: “Yes sir.” Then he dropped the phone. That was all. That was my experience. I can never forget that experience.
chidiokay: seems you dont know the biggest name to ever cross APGA is peter Obi ... nobody else in that party has gone beyone anambra street light
Their is no record of Peter obi forcing or fighing people in any party from PDP to LP, he does not even dabble into internal politics .. Wike and atiku scattered pdp
and we know for a fact know Tinubu was behind Lamidi Apapa in 2023 but because buhari dont play politics ...Tinubu plan to destroy LP did not work
We are wisier now, we know Tinubu strategy no pass, bankroll a trojan to scatter opposition, as Peter Obi is Tinubu biggest night mare, any party obi go will have leadership crisis no who the problem is ...
Does he not dabble into the internal politics of the party he uses, because he is a smallie in politics that was easily kicked out of APGA by his protege Obiano when his godfather ambitions were crushed?
How can someone be the nightmare of his political master? The political master who got Obi out of PDP to make it easier to have his own turn at continuing All Promises cancelled, APC extreme poverty and insecurity shege.
Why are you hallucinating about grandness when your idol is an inconsequential tool in Tinubu's hands
