March?

I make no apologies for this statement...Northern Nigeria humiliated this man till they killed him in cold blood....what was his crime, that Nigerians voted him and they couldn't vouch for his loyalty. they felt he was too richly powerful

not forgetting Dele Giwa, Idiagbon killed with a poisoned microphone, Kudirat and many others.

Today Osibanjo is being seen as a stooge planted by Tinubu, hence the treatment he is getting from the north.

their intent is to treat Osibanjo like that till he is frustrated and then resigns so that PMB can appoint his own choosen VP.

Lets go back to regionalism....thats the only way out of this conundrum.

He is one of the few senators Nigeria should look out for in the 8th assembly.

i look out for his tweets. He is intelligent and vocal

Thats a whooping 2trillion naira...two third of our budget.,.where will he get that money from.

Make I add to your likes@Signature

hehe..Tanku for suppporting my ministry

please keep that your body and pride well

The negative news from Lagos, Ibadan and Osun is disturbing.

for every 10 crimes posted on this platform, 8 are from there.

before now, it was not so.

what is happening?

some one should please tell APC that the rope used in tieing the broom is what makes it useful in sweeping.

the APC broom rope is loosing gradually.

I don't get it.

PMB has said he will work with the Saraki and Dogara team.

Tinubu, Oyegun and Bisi akande is the ish here.

If PMB has accepted, who da f...k is Tinubu.

this is not the change we voted for.

its time to provide leadership..

this is two weeks and we dont understand the policy direction of government because of party wranglings

Despite the controversy surrounding his emergences as the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki has brushed aside his rejection by the leadership of his party, the APC and unfolded his agenda for Nigerians.

Saraki promised that that the new Senate and National Assembly would make laws that will enable the country to renew its infrastructure, reform the oil and security systems as well as boost agriculture.

Similarly, Saraki assured that the new NASS would make laws that would lead to the creation of jobs and make doing business in Nigeria much more competitive.

“In the coming days we shall be converging to hammer out an aggregate agenda that will help us focus and deliver on these minimum expectations,” the Senate President said.

In a statement made available to Vanguard by his media aide, Bamikole Omishore, Saraki described his emergence as the 8th Senate President was a demonstration that Nigerians were united by a common desire to entrench democracy and allow its core principles to guide the conduct of the nation’s political affairs.

“We have demonstrated that even though we may belong to different persuasions and parties, we are ultimately united by our common desire to entrench democracy and allow its core principles guide the conduct of our political affairs, “Saraki said.

He said he believed strongly that the change that Nigerians yearned for would be made possible through the collaboration of the various arms of government.

He said: “The change that our people voted for is a change from a life of poverty, misery and hopelessness to a life of prosperity, happiness and confidence in the future; a change from a pervasive culture of fear to a life of security and comfort; a change from impunity and elite arrogance to a life of accountability and respect for every citizen, regardless of tribe, gender, religion, region or political persuasion.

“This is the change that all of us in this National Assembly must strive to bring about, if we must justify the privilege of representation conferred on us by our people. Nigerians want to see a proactive National Assembly that will devote itself to rigorous thinking, rolling up sleeves to forge a new and prosperous Nigeria.

“As the President of the 8th Senate and the Chairman of this National Assembly, I shall be guided by the enormity of the responsibilities that this moment imposes on us all.

“As a first among equals, I shall strive at all times to be just, equitable and fair to all. I shall work with you all to build a National Assembly that will enjoy greater confidence and trust among the people that we represent.

“We shall entrench greater openness and accountability. We shall strengthen our capacity for public engagement as well as broaden access for inclusion, recognizing that this temple of democracy belongs to all the people of our country.

“Modern democracy is built on the principle of separation of powers. It will be my responsibility to protect the independence of the legislative arm of our government in the overall interest of our democracy.

“However, I will pursue this duty with the understanding that our autonomy must be embedded within the collaborative framework that allows government to function more effectively in bringing the greater good to the greatest number of our people.

“Our quest for autonomy must not lead us into pursuing adversarial relationship with other arms of government, especially the executive. Our oversight duties must be constructive, supportive and productive, believing that while we all have different roles to play; we have a common responsibility to the people of Nigeria.

Saraki thanked President Muhammadu Buhari for not interfering in the process that led to his emergence as the Senate President, saying that he had laid a solid foundation for the stability of the 8th NASS

iyanme...B

They share similarity in satelite dish ears

There is no school in Nigeria that has not lost students for ill-equiped clinics.

yet, no hope in view

Eruditor:
Conspiratory Ediotist. When was it Tinubu's plan? When Lawan and Akume were initially campaigning against themselves? When Monguno campaigned against Gbaja initially too?

Abeg, park well.

would it not have been better that you were ab.orted than be alive and suffer this palpable height of political ignorance.

you are uniquely clueless on the political permutations and instead of seeking help. you display your generational problem here.

check my signature before you invite me to battle

This was Tinubu's arrangement

AHMED LAWAN AND AKUME

FEMI GBAJA AND MONGUNO

Then the wife Remi as Senate leader but alas, the game changed.

her emotional outburst is expected.

Game over...

how can the clark of NASS fix election and swearing by 10am and APC leadership fix meeting by 9am

i still haven't understood the rationality of APC leadership


hmmm

k

I really dont care where he rules Nigeria from. All i want is for him not to disappoint Nigerians.

Haven said that. The Villa is a safe haven meant to provide direction for Nigeria but was polluted by occultism and blood sacrifices. Especially Abacha.

The seat of government moved to Abuja December 12, 1991. Abacha moved in few years later with every demon one can imagine..all in the name of protection. He did all sorts, hired mallams from Niger, Chad and senegale for prayers and still died.

OBJ had countless pastors permently on routine praying for him. He ended up building the villa chapel which became more political than religious.
Yaradua imported all sorts to the villa in search of safety and security. We know what finally happened. Jonathan took it to another level, hired pastors, visited churches and pastors for prayers. Mama peace almost died.

GMB is about going in, but whether we can rely on the cleansing of the villa by Marabouts is something i wont vouch for.

I only know one power that saves...It is in the name of JESUS....because the name appears simple, people take it for granted...if you love GMB, pray for him.

He should stay away for now from the villa. Its not the villa that makes him the president.

lesson: Don't hate, love your neighbour and be at peace with all men.

heaven and earth and all its inhabitatnts will pass away.

What is happening to Oyo, Ogun and Osun states.

before now, it was not so. 80 perecent of heinious crimes i read on this forum are from those 3 states

whats going on?

What will I discuss with a girl who is 11. This is statutory rape. Even sodom and gomorrah won't tolerate this rubbish.

We did it in the election and we can do it again. The people of Nigeria reserves the right to navigate governance. Policies that are inhuman and demeaning must be rejected unequivocally.

PMB should refuse assent to the bill. Let the legislators overide the bill and let Nigerians see the paedophiles behind the bill.

Join the campaign

@Lalasticlala

Really

HMMM...jEVNIK RESTAURANT HERE I COME TONIGHT..Ma abasi

I have declared my asset too....please all members of my family should submit theirs too.

nonsense...

how exactly are we supposed to hold them accountable and analyse their wealth after office.


they should stop scaming us with this secret asset declaration.

The incissant attacks and bomb blasts is becoming worrisome.... may we not relax and allow these bokoboys regroup again to a full blown army....When i look at what is happening at syria and Iraq and Afghanistan with all their suffistications and western back up...i conclude that terror is here to stay...we can only manage it.

Bush committed war crimes in Iraq...Amnesty Idio.ts kept quiet

Obama is doing same in iraq, syria and other places...Amnest baboons kept quiet.

are they saying our soldiers should not return fire?

otipoju:
Atiku went to canvass support for him in south Africa

So the media told us but the truth is that if you know AFDB politics. You will understand that South Africa has just one finance minister out of 53 that voted in Africa for a president to emerge. America, IMF and EU who are powerful stake holders in the bank were persuaded by NOI to have Adesina emerge...I dont know NOI but Adesina's victory was powered by her....If anyone here knows Adesina personally ask him.

I was privy to this info before the election...congratulations to Adesina the president elect. We cant wait for September. Africa needs agricultural revolution

Atiku is a snake and a part of me dont just trust him. His recent Romance with PMB and anything successful is more worrisome.

We remember Levi and many others who ended their journey of life that day.

@Lalasticlala

Reference:
There is virtually nothing he can or should do about the legislature or judiciary. Its not his turf. He should allow them evolve naturally. If there are unpalatable issues it is up to the electorate to address them and we have enough tools to do that if we want to. We are just too lazy and docile. Everyone wants Buhari to do everything even at the expense of their liberty. Believe you me, you don't want him interfering in those institutions. If you want to change something just go do it yourself.

Truth be told, Buhari can not do nada about the legislators. If he interfers on the salary or pay package, they will frustrate his policies that will pass through them. National assembly is one party when its about money. GMB risks impeachment if he tinckers with them.

For GMB to fight corruption, he needs a special court that will treat such cases specially. which again will have to go through the parliament. our present judicial set up is a sham headed to nowhere.

I have always opined that the parliament and Judiciary is the biggest cog to our wheel of development.

The question is what have they been doing all these while and how many people are left in the chambers.

These arms of the government are shrouded in corruption and will never make or interprete good laws to get us on the path of development.

The judiciary is the last hope of the common man BUT the first hope of the corrupt rich.

The national assembly may be divided along party lines now but watch how they go under one umbrella when its time to share money.

GMB has sooooo much to do that i pity him.

I stand with true federalism....

lets revert to regionalism.

we are making no head way with the present style of federal structure.

we need to engender competition by regionalism?

What i dont support is Osibanjo out of country and PMB is also travelling today, so who holds the country in this crucial time?

David Mark?

Nice one VP...brace up...you will be doing 85 percent of the job....i dont envy you..
