Just curious

Why is it that NURTW is so strong in South Western Nigeria?

Will be glad if Someone will attend my question.

My question is even different from yours. Why is it that 96% of all NURTW members are Muslims? All their leaders are ALHAJI ALHAJI

jefdr001:
I can't see any difference between this and Saraki s current response . Infact all I see here is a diplomatic expression of how tinubu was forced to relinquish the VP position to Osibanjo. Contrary to what you can understand this story confirms Sarakis current response to tinubu. If you know you know.

Oh sorry. Finally village people got the better part of you.

5 hours! saying what! Well i don't know. Someone is not coming straight on this matter. Earlier on that Saturday morning your GM released a press statement urging people to come and watch the demolition of the said building.... Who does that? Bad PR i must say. When you know you're still going to plea why will you allow your GM issue such statement. Well God will replenish you.

Sheer arrogance!

I was tempted to believe his story but i later have a rethink that TINUBU will not be so daft to tell SARAKI his plan for 2023 which means SARAKI cook all this up

Let them blame Saraki for that too

When indeed charity begins at home!

Is Lagos not the headquarters of APC

Fashola was the best thing that happened to Lagos state!

Ambode needs to eat the humble pie and borrow a leaf from Fashola!

Cause aside the roads which is now taking donkey years no other thing seems to be working!

This is not the Lagos we saw under Fashola! I hope it will not relapse to what it use to be

Something needs to be done urgently!

You're being economical with the truth and you just sound like a PDP apologist. How can you say that Lagos is not working compare to fashola's tenure. Anyway who knows maybe you reside at igbokoda in Ondo state. Get your fact before talking and not just comment just because other people are doing so.

[quote author= post=70434148]Thanks professor Wole Soyinka.[/quote]I think right now APC should have themselves to blame for negotiating Saraki's winning at the appeal court so he could stop his foolish personal agenda of trying to impeach Buhari last year when he was in London for treatment for almost 80days. All this uproar has to die down as soon as possible by impeaching the sp

Kano state governor Dr Abdullahi Ganduje has dared Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to enter Kano for his presidential campaign if he thinks he is popular among the people.

Ganduje and Kwankwaso Speaking at an event on Sunday for the launching of a Money Transfer initiative to empower women held in Kano, where 6,600 women drawn from the 44 local governments of the state were given the sum of N15,000 each to boost their business, the Governor stated that the people of Kano will never welcome Sen Kwankwaso.

“Kano is not and will never be ready to welcome Kwankwaso. Kano people have every constitutional right to make their democratic choices,” he stated.

He expressed that the people of the state have the right to reject him and have rejected him. “And as such, we have all the rights to reject him and we have already rejected him.

We never considered him from day one as a presidential material. We shall continue to maintain our position about him. We know nobody but President Muhammadu Buhari,” Ganduje said.

He explained that as Sen Kwankwaso is aware the people of Kano will use every democratic way possible to reject him and show him an exit from political participation, even before the general election comes our way” he threatened.

While reminding the people of the state of the efforts of the state government in alleviating their problems especially the series of fire outbreak in markets, Governor Ganduje condemned Sen Kwankwaso for not bothering to even pay them a condolence visit.

“We in Kano, witnessed the demise of distinguished personalities, of which he chose not to come and we had fire outbreaks in some of our markets and this man (KwanKwanso), did not care to come and sympathize with the victims” he stated.

Ganduje further explained that even as the state government set up a special fund raising committee to support the people faced with plight and made a staunch follower of Sen Kwankwaso the chairman of the committee he still never contributed to the people of Kano.

In what appears like a political earthquake, 252 Special advisers and Special assistants appointed by Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state have resigned their appointments.

Tambuwal And they have returned to the All Progressives Congress, instead of working under a PDP government.

Alhaji Ibrahim Haske, a special adviser to the governor and spokesman for all the aides, announced this at a news conference in Sokoto on Sunday.

He said their decision followed Gov. Tambuwal’s defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

“Our appointment is based on the position that APC is the political party governing the state and now that the government belongs to PDP, we have no option other than to resign.

“We are bonafide members of APC and our position has always remained same; we therefore resign voluntarily from the PDP government ,” Haske said.

Haske, who was a former Sokoto South Local Government Chairman, further explained that the decision was based on their desire to support APC to deliver on its mandate after the 2019 general elections.

Alhaji Abdullahi Sokoto, also a special adviser to Tambuwal, restated the former aides’ commitment and dedication toward ensuring the success of APC across the state.

“We will continue to remain in our party APC and as such we sacrifice our political appointments to clarify people’s doubt and show our stand on party supremacy.”

He restated the group’s loyalty and support to the policies and programme of the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari and the leadership of APC.

In his reaction, the APC Chairman in the state, Alhaji Sadiq Achida, commended the former aides to Gov. Tambuwal for their demonstration of loyalty to the party.

He said, “the sacrifice of the Special advisers is highly recommended and will surely be rewarded by the people and APC in future.”

A man has 400 companies and he's never been heard of. Even if na 400 kiosks, the world go don know am. Bro rephrase this you lie e too dey confusing.

Mr man don't argue what you don't know...check it out yourself and see. It was even used against him in 2002 when he came to Nigeria to contest the presidential primary in ANPP against buhari and lost. He was even interviewed then on why he didn't have one in Nigeria and he wanted to be President. He said because there was no security in the country that was why he couldn't establish one in Nigeria. His company is one of the ones generating power for USA. He was one of those who sponsored Bill Clinton in 1992. Make research before you argue.

The national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has offered a political-philosophical analysis on why Senate President Bukola Saraki and Sokoto State Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal left the APC.

Saraki He said the duo quit because the APC could not offer them what they wanted.

In a major analysis of the political situation in Nigeria, titled “They go Away because We go the Right Way, which he also tweeted, Tinubu said the two defectors left the APC because they “wanted automatic tickets and sharing of the national wealth which the APC could not guarantee”.

“The rest of the defectors were given similar assurances by the PDP as to their offices. The APC refused to make such bargains as they are part of the ancient regime; these bargains are not of our democratic new way.

They “left the party to return to a motley agglomeration that would promise them what true democracy could not: automatic tickets, sharing of the national wealth and other offices and privileges

“Governor Tambuwal’s exit can be distilled to one cause. He covets the presidency. However, he had not the stomach to challenge President Buhari in a primary. Tambuwal felt further insulted that he would be compelled to face a direct primary just to retain the governorship

“But for the promise made by PDP hardliners like Rivers State Governor Wike that he would have the PDP presidential nomination, Tambuwal would not have left. His exit had nothing to do with governance of the nation. It was about forging a personal ambition predicated on the defeat of progressive reform not the advancement of it”.

“Much the same for Senate President Saraki. Returning to the PDP, he harbours dreams of the presidency but Tambuwal’s ambition will dwarf Saraki’s when the two collide. If Saraki had remained in the APC, he would be unable to reclaim his Senate seat let alone the Senate Presidency. He thus bolted because he lusts for the presidency but was promised by the PDP, at least, a return to his position in the Senate”.

“For Saraki to talk about lack of governance is for him to deny who he is and the position he holds. This man stands as Nigeria’s Number 3 citizen. Clothed is he in ample power and influence. If he saw areas where government and the nation needed help, he could have easily applied his energies to these areas. He could have drafted legislation and easily got laws passed.

“However, no progressive enactment bears his name for he cared not for progress. He has been more focused on changing the rules of the Senate to favour himself and changing the order of elections so as to coincide with his selfish designs”.

Asiwaju Tinubu asked the people to go beyond the debate on the numbers in the Senate or House of Representatives, saying “we must pull back from the shallow headlines to recognise that something fundamental is at stake.

Tambuwal “Nigeria is undergoing a historic transition. Sometimes awkwardly, tentatively, yet inexorably, we nurture political and governance reform. We steadily close the door on the old malpractices that have caused a rich nation to reside in the tenement of the global poor”.

“There is nothing wrong with ambition. Without a degree of ambition, we would never strive to improve and develop ourselves. But ambition, restrained by nothing but itself, is a dangerous commodity. Unwedded to social conscience, it leads to ruthlessness; it is the father of the deception that leaders are meant to lord over instead of to serve the populace.

“In the final analysis, the reason for the defections is as clear to see as it is crooked in its motives. The APC seeks to reform governance and politics. However, many powerful people believe the established system assures their maximum benefit. Progressive reform would defeat them. They must fight reform and never be allied to it. Thus, they had to leave the APC.

“In a fundamental way, the APC may be better for their exit. It would be untrue to say their departures did not generate concern. As the air clears and we can better assess what is lost and gained by their exit, I can truthfully say the APC will be better off because they are gone.

“We can more decisively push for the jobs programme, expansion of social security for the poor, affordable housing programs and a viable mortgage system, national infrastructural programme that will provide adequate power and potable water, basic health care for all, and educational reform. Each of these is important in itself. In combination, these objectives shall reshape the very landscape of our political economy. They shall bring fairness and prosperity where none has been. They will give the average person a government that serves them and the land that they deserve.

“We can now focus more wholly on democratic governance inside and outside the party. Inside the party, we have adopted direct primaries to discourage corruption of the democratic process. Regarding public policy, we can now better articulate our progressive stance without having naysayers among complaining that we are going too far or that the good we seek for the people ought not to be done.

“We can more decisively push for the jobs programme, expansion of social security for the poor, affordable housing programs and a viable mortgage system, national infrastructural programme that will provide adequate power and potable water, basic health care for all, and educational reform. Each of these is important in itself. In combination, these objectives shall reshape the very landscape of our political economy. They shall bring fairness and prosperity where none has been. They will give the average person a government that serves them and the land that they deserve.

“But this prospect means a large segment of the political class will oppose the APC. We, as a party, must have the courage to accept this reality. Having decided to place the public welfare above the private welfare of the few, we must forge ahead no matter the foes aligned against us.

”This struggle toward a better Nigeria is hard, described more by difficult obstacles than by smooth passages. Had reform been easy, the task would have already been accomplished. Powerful hands have gathered to halt our collective move forward. Not everyone wants a better Nigeria for all. Those who profit from the imbalances of the past are those who fear a fairer tomorrow.

”Come the general election, the people will face a stark choice. If they want to relive the certain failure and inequality of the system the PDP had erected against their very interests, the people will walk the way of the defectors. If the people want to give themselves a better chance at an excellent nation they will adhere to the path elected in 2015 when they voted for reform and the APC.

“I believe in the collective wisdom of the people. They will choose the right way for they are Nigerians which means they shall do what is right and just”.

” This moral battle informed the recent defections. Those who belong to that PDP mode of thought could find no permanent comfort in walking the path of progressive reform and progress. All the things we have inaugurated such as school-feeding programs for poor pupils, social security for poor families, affordable housing programs, greater access to credit for small businesses and greater access to education and health care, these things the defectors could not well abide. They detested President Buhari’s Treasury Single Account (TSA) innovation because it barred them from mis-directing funds into a maze of unaudited accounts from which they could siphon as they pleased. Buhari cut off their clandestine illicit spigot.

“These politicians see accountable good governance and lifting of the common person as the tearing down of their quest for great riches and power.

Even more so, they detested the APC drive toward greater internal democracy. They bristled when we demanded that congresses and conventions be held; they had demanded giving themselves automatic extension in their positions. They privately erupted as the APC decided that direct primaries where all party members vote on the party’s nominations should be the way of the future. The injection of greater democracy meant a decrease in their ability to manipulate end results. Politics will be ushered out of the backroom and given to the people to whom sovereignty genuinely belongs. These men could not countenance such transformation. They saw it not as the gift of democracy but as an obstacle that complicated their self-interest. They left the party to return to a motley agglomeration that would promise them what true democracy could not: automatic tickets, sharing of the national wealth and other offices and privileges.

“Their defection statements swell with high-sounding words and the attempted grasp of lofty ideals. While I shall refrain from being so coarse as to call these statements counterfeit, I must invoke a sufficient level of common sense for the protection of all. Anyone who accepts their statements at face value will quickly experience buyer’s remorse. Their attempt at fine notions aside, what compelled these people was galloping yet blind ambition.”

WisdomFlakes:
Some governors will surely feel threatened by the direct primaries system because they will no longer be able to hijack and camp delegates. Under direct system, how many members you wan bribe for an unpopular candidate? You will just go bankrupt.

The last part actually got me laughing "You will just go bankrupt"

If Garba Shehu and Femi Adesina will just rememeber there was Doyin and Reno and Reuben..

Doyin bowed to beg Obj, Reno is still scared of entering his country, Reuben has lost all reputation and these folks were not half as useless.


There's nemesis and there's history, time shall tell.

Though we know both Garba and Femi always spill rubbish, but this is a known truth that Saraki is delaying passage of the budget because of his selfish agenda. Saraki has just been so mischievous

No region can present a presidential candidate without the support of SouthWestern part of Nigeria and win.

Maybe you should find one nearby mountain and pray for them, if possible you can as well fast for them.... Someone took away the source of livelihood of poor masses and you're saying "This shouldn't be an excuse for us to rain curse on them. Walai some people mumu never do.

Rubbish/nonsense talk, you for do 7 days fasting and prayer for them.

If you can carry a gun and take the law into your hands then it will suffice for you.

1. We are not running the government.. Na them dey run us foreign.
2. Buhari and his administration are incompetent and offer no positive change.
3. Vote out buhari come 2019.
* any other point?

Yes another point; Why is it that every time anything concerns Bukola Saraki it becomes a crisis, why?

We would have forgotten all this brouhaha a long time ago. Saraki would have been buried along with his political climes.

Let us conduct ourselves in a well mannered and responsible way for once. We all know with this singular action Oyo state government has hurt the souls of many Nigerians working with the company but that shouldn't be an excuse for us raining curses on them.

kaorama:
This is not a reasonable step in any way. The statement sounds almost like a parable, without any intention to unmask the identity of the deluded miscreant. A serious institution would have given a clearer picture of what relationship the said Ajibola had with Babcock university and the exact date the relationship was terminated. I think Babcock is being economical with the truth and this doesn't speak well if them.

I think Babcock is right with there statement. As far as the man in question is no longer there staff, then they don't owe anyone an explanation when there was engagement and disengagement with the man.
