I hate AMERICA.

Ngorbungor:
In what area did he failed the President because one good thing about Osinbajo is his loyalty to the president ?

Rollsnjaguar:
Lies



If there is, then no need to ask them not to come with their phones.

This must be a mistake surely.

This will be reversed as soon as he is told that Mmegwa is not a fulani name.

It almost seems like they were forced to join NATO against their own will.

El-rufai was a victim of power play in APC. he just realised he has to pitch his tent with asiwaju since buhari camp didn't give him the relevance he wanted.

His problem started when Ameachi yanked off hadiza bala usman from NPA, he couldn't get buhari to intervene, that was a bruise on his ego.
Again after el rufai leaked buni plan, and boasted on TV buni has been sacked cant return as chairman of caretaker comittee , Buhari eventually returned buni. That was when he realised he had to switch loyalty.

He also tried form a dynasty in Apc with Badru, bagudu,fayemi,buni, and lalong unfortunately Buni outsmart all of them, and they eventually scattered.

Badru and el rufai has dumped the group and have silently moved to asiwaju caucus.

Fayemi is now on a solo run now in the party, just like yahaya bello. La long will likely move to Ameachi camp.

Bagudu might also jump ship to asiwaju camp.

The North and politics of power. The spate of defections to the PDP by northern APC politicians recently appears planned and orchestrated by the North to critically weaken the APC, thereby holding on to power in the PDP.

The senator representing Katsina North Senatorial District, Ahmad Babba Kaita, has joined the Peoples democratic Party (PDP).

Babba Kaita announced his defection from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in a statement by his media aide, Abdulkadir Lawal.

Katsina North senatorial zone comprises 12 local government areas, including Daura, President Muhammad Buhari’s hometown.

Babba Kaita was elected to the 8th Senate in 2018 to fill the vacuum in the senatorial zone following the demise of Senator Mustapha Bukar.

In 2019, he was re-elected again to the 9th Senate after defeating his opponent, Hon Usman Mani of the PDP. He currently chairs the Senate Committee on Tertiary Institutions and TETFUND.

The lawmaker said his decision to dump the ruling APC was due to the marginalisation of critical stakeholders by the state government and the leadership of the party at the state level.

He said the state under the Aminu Bello Masari-led administration is witnessing gradual decline to undemocratic principles with total absence of a level playing field for grassroots politicians and genuine party foot-soldiers.

The senator said as an advocate of transparency and continuous entrenchment of popular will, he could not afford to continue sharing the tent of undemocratic merchandise clearly being executed against his people by the state government and party leadership.

Babba Kaita said his movement to the PDP was informed by his determined desire and opportunity to provide succour and much-needed dividends of democracy to his people.

The statement said, “As a loyal party man and responsive democrat whose expansive support base in his constituency has remained pivotal to his passion for the reciprocal growth and development of his people, Distinguished Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita has followed the recent events in Katsina state with keen interest and deep concern.

“Of notable implication among many of this numerous concerns is the gradual loss of credibility in Governor Masari-led administration, particularly in the avowed refusal to conduct local government elections across the state in time.

“The wilful refusal of the administration to uphold the basic foundation of democracy has also found expression in the marginalisation of critical stakeholders by the state government and the leadership of the party at the state level.

“The recent Congresses at state and ward levels, with no identified genuine pro-government delegates are clearly a rape of grassroots politicians and genuine party foot-soldiers who were rigged out of open contest.

“The total absence of a level playing field speaks volumes about an already orchestrated decline to antidemocratic principles and challenges every good conscience including ours. All politics is local.

“As an advocate of transparency, accountability and continuous entrenchment of popular will, Senator Kaita cannot afford to continue sharing the tent of undemocratic merchandise clearly being executed against his people by the state government and party leadership.

“A clear stock taking of where Katsina state stands today, is already enough burden on good conscience. Our good people, in their millions have excused deprivation, poverty and hunger for too long.

“They have endured the risk to their lives and wellbeing imposed by the incapacity of the state government to tackle insecurity head on.

“They have been denied enough, already, by the state government. We cannot deny them their right of choice. The serial denial of the people’s mandate at the recent Congresses among other related developments has finally found expression in our answer to the clarion call of our people to vacate the APC following very wide consultations.

“Senator Ahmad Babba Kaita is not a bandwagon politician. His exemplary and robust representation in the Nigerian Senate is to the admiration of all, and with significant, visible impacts in the areas of infrastructural and human capital development across the three Senatorial zones of the state. There is a room to do more.”

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2015 general elections, Mike Ahamba has cautioned presidential aspirants from the Southeast geopolitical zone not to sit in their parlours and think the presidency will be brought to them on a silver platter.

The lawyer also kicked against the misconception of the term ‘Igbo presidency, saying it is nonsense for any Igbo man to sit in his comfort zone and expect that the presidency will be brought to his table in 2023.

Ahamba who spoke in Owerri, Imo State, at a book presentation said there is no office in Nigeria called Igbo presidency.

” There is no office provided for Igbo man to be president. We are talking of the presidency of Nigeria by a man of Igbo extraction.

These are two different things, I have always advocated that every ethnic group, including the Igbos, have every right to canvass for the president of Nigeria but if any person thinks he can sit in his parlour and the presidency of Nigeria will be brought to him, that’s it’s nonsense.”

“On several occasions, I have also said that the constitution was not made by people who expected that it could be amended at any point but in that same constitution there are ways and means pointing at amending it.

The Nigerian constitution provides for ways and means how we can do it only that we are just lazy.

“The National Assembly is a more powerful body in this country and it has powers to make laws, put in place order and good government and inside this expression lots of things are contained. So don’t tell me you can’t amend the constitution because there are no provisions for it, there are.

“Here in Nigeria we are living in bricks, people will sit up and in their armchairs say the powers of the president are too much. The president is given too many powers in the constitution, it is not true, the power is in the National Assembly but because of political and ethnic bias, they don’t want to do their job and that’s the truth of the matter.

“If Mr. President gets it wrong, the constitution has said how he can be curtailed but when it gets to the house political party interest and ethnic interests will come in, that is what I’m trying to point out. It’s not the president.

“There is nothing I know the president of Nigeria does without the approval of the National Assembly and if they do not approve what happens? he keeps quiet. I remember at a point when they wanted somebody to be sacked from office, they refused to approve his appointment. I mean the former EFCC boss, Ibrahim Magu. National Assembly felt so powerless and it was an impeachable act by the president which is what I’m talking about.”

Igboid:
You are a liar and I have showed you the list of people with those posts in Balewa government just before the war.

Igboid:
You lied about those appointments to paint Ndiigbo bad.
Why do you lots go this far to demonize Ndiigbo, why?
The post is talking about posts held by Ndiigbo before Balewa death and that's exactly what I answered.
You can verify all I wrote there. I got all the info on the internet.
Ndiigbo will surely get a country of our own one day, so that we can finally build a wall between us and your hate.

Ebubu:
No fixed date for presidential primaries

id911:
100m?!

From what was published above, the date for Presidential primary is omitted except that's fake or they may be going for consensus after all.

*Modified: Special Convention for Presidential Primaries is actually there, item 10.

Progressiveby:
Can you please name one officer from south east that was involved in the 1966 saga? I'm waiting.

Igboid:
Chief of Naval staff in 1964-75 = Commodore J.E.A Wey.
He isn't Igbo.
Chief of Army staff in 1963- 65 was John Alexander McKenzie. Ironsi took over in 1965.
IG of police in 1964-66 was Luis Edet.
Infact Mike Okilo in 2007 was Igbos first ever IG of police in Nigeria.
Internal Affairs minister in 1966 was Shehu Shagari, he replaced Usman Sarki.
Tafawa Balewa doubled as Prime minister and External affairs minister in 1964-66 cabinet.

The Minister of Education in 1964- 66 was Richard Akinjide.

Many of you only major in spinning lies against Ndiigbo.
It will never be well with you lots.

valentineuwakwe:
By 1966 how many graduates do you think the north have to employ n fit into ministerial positions then?
During GEJ, those officers were next in line to take over n didn't the economy grow n fair better when we match merit to competence. ..instead Buhari will rather select a junior fulani to take over appointment and you think the economy will fair better.

Every tribe fair well n rule under trust, fairness n justice..so where is the justice n fairness of the igbos 're denial the presidency? Lets allow them and see what they can bring to the table for Nigeria. .simple

perez100:
Am Igbo and I think Fani Kayode is 100% right. I like people that speaks the way it is. The reason why many tribes are saying Igbo cannot rule Nigeria is "fear". They are 100% afraid of the strong and wise men in the East.

They prefer those people they think they can control so that they can do to them what they did to Jonathan.

If Nigerians want Nigeria to be great once again - Igbo man becoming President is the answer. Or everybody will continue to cry while Nigerians will keep bleeding. It is your choice.

Kukah went to America Congress to lie to them that Buhari is killing Christians.

America did their investigation and find out Kukah is a Bishop in Sokoto state, the capital of Islam in Nigeria. They wondered why he is still alive.



KUKAH IS A TWO FACED HYPOCRITE
