Iamzik:All these are still not enough for us not to face the facts of law. Personally, if I see any APC leader I can beat them to stupor but we are in a democracy and the law and constitution are clear. |
With all due respect to the writer, you are not only beinh sentimental but also emotional. You have raised points but your responses to those points are scandalous. El Rufai may go to hell for all I care but these are facts that must not be disputed for any reasons at all; 1. The court gave a ruling and even if the court doesn't have jurisdiction over the matter, it is up to the court to decide not you or the executive. 2. The Nigerian constitution which many of you have refused to study which is why you all keep getting disappointed when the Senate President and Akpabio won in court is more supreme than the electoral act. Mind you the constitution saved Peter Obi when some people charged him to court that he wasn't a member of labour party by the time the party submitted it's list of candidates. Now the constitution clearly made it clear that all authorities in Nigeria must obey the decisions of the Supreme court. There's never a smoke without fire. The President is not an Alpha and Omega and democracy was designed in a way that no man will be solely deciding the fate of the nation. Hence separation of powers. 3. The CBN act as amended in 2017 clearly said that you can take your old notes to the bank anytime, anytime here can be 500 years. 4. You claimed El Rufai doesn't obey court orders, we all have rights to challenge lower court orders but no one can challenge the decisions of the Supreme court. It is that simple. The law doesn't deal on emotions and mind you the fact that we have a seemingly rubber stamp legislator doesn't mean they no longer have powers to impeach a President. But there are guidelines. If Joe Biden tries what Buhari did, by now he would be served impeachment notice. Let us stop been emotional and argue based on the law. If this matter isn't within the jurisdiction of the court, the court would say so. Why the rush to undermine a matter that is still in court? If Buhari doesn't have an agenda, why not allow the court to give a judgement? Are you telling me the President is now more powerful than the Supreme court? |
Bitchiamjay:What is right is to first obey the order of the court. I have never heard that El Rufai refused a Supreme court judgment. Stop spreading lies abeg. The constitution is very clear enough...all orders of the Supreme court must be obeyed by all authorities. The fact that they have allowed Buhari have his way in 7 1/2 years all in the name of party nonsense doesn't mean they also cannot exercise their rights. Even AG hasn't said anything but you who knows nothing about the law are here ranting. This is why knowledge is power! |
AntiTerrorist:Mind you everyone knows MURIC are a scam and no one I repeat no sane Yoruba ever takes that idiot serious. If not for cheap journalist giving the idiot audiences. We Yorubas don't do politics of tribe or religion. Stop living in a fools land. Tinubu may get more Yoruba christian votes than any other candidates. Even so called Pastors using their pulpit to canvass against APC will fail because when it mattered most they kept shut. When Jonathan was doing father Christmas for all of them they didn't remember the Christians but when their major lines of access to government money is threatened they want to start preaching. How many of them spoke up when Christians were killed and how many of them supported those minority christians with money or weapons to defend themselves?? |
MadeInTokyo:The Joke's on you. El Rufai is the only governor the CPC faction produced. All other APC governors were formerly PDP. Even. El Rufai himself was PDP. |
Bitchiamjay:You probably forgotten that we are operating a constitutional democracy. The Supreme court rulings must be obeyed even by the President. The same stupid Emefiele ran to Supreme court to secure an order against his arrest. He might be truly financing terrorism as alleged with his behaviors lately. |
mistilink1:The same Ambode who ejected a Pastor and threw his family out because the Pastor refused to give his wife preference in church during communion service? Actually God left Ambode. On this issue, election has made all of you selfish and too emotional. So the world bank and IMF that said the policies were not good are also collecting money from Tinubu abi? Well, the governor will destroy those banks. You all are refusing to see Buhari's game plan. Buhari doesn't want an election, he wants anarchy in the land so he can suspend the constitution and continue to stay in power. We need those governors to save the nation and democracy. Until you present proof of those imaginery billions the governors are hiding, you should be ashamed for believing hearsay. |
ogwumgbe:And you honestly believe the past 2 months wouldn't have been enough for them to exchange it? Even bankers are loading ATM and still using multiple cards to withdraw all the money themselves. Personally, I am of the conviction that this situation is designed to make the ruling party look bad so voters can turn against it. Buhari who was doing TraderMoni 4 years ago days to elections now suddenly wants to preach against vote buying? The fact is the situation will shut the country down and the President will suspend the constitution and rule alone... tactically he will stay in office and keep causing troubles every 6 months. They all never want to leave power but God has a way of always humbling them |
How some persons think the President can disobey the Supreme court still baffles me. Many allege the court of selling judgement but would never ask what lawyers argue in court or what the judgment was premised upon. I blame lazy foolish lawyers who after bungling a clients case would rather promote the narrative that judges have been bribed instead of admitting that they were defeated by a more brilliant lawyer. One thing I know is that the Supreme court would have the last laugh and for anyone to think the President's powers are absolute, they must be lacking in knowledge. |
bonnyhope:But the same Buhari used TraderMoni to buy votes in 2019 didn't remember money politics then? Man is just as dull as we've always known. |
femisplash:God bless you for not forgetting so soon. Even international bodies then raised alarm that TraderMoni was vote buying. Anyways, the statement is still useless since people can still redeem old notes. Basically if it is true that politicians already have old notes at home as some fools are been made to believe those notes will still be spent for elections and would be redeemable in banks. There's still something they are not telling us. |
franchasng:Sincerely I am getting disappointed at your civility and intellectual capacity. I mean you can handle issues well and elaborate but rather you'll chose to go on the attack mode whenever Peter mention PO. Kudos to you! Meanwhile, my own person issues with Peter Obi has never been about his personality and yes $2m then and even till date is a big money.. Although I have reasons to believe he didn't steal the money but his explanations are not convincing enough for me. There are certain times one can get misinterpreted. There's no justifiable reasons for paying a contractor in cash. But let's agree no one is perfect. My only grouse and measure of a leader for me is wealth creation. Personally, I don't rate importers who just are all about importation and wouldn't also aspire to get into manufacturing. The major issue I have is why Obi never went into manufacturing locally looking at all the brands he imports. That for me wasn't good enough and it makes me scared that he can deliver on the promise of changing us from consumption to production which he never did himself. I'm so happy to hear about his siblings. That's very impressive. |
nameo:You didn't read the stories well. Even if the governors have the old notes. This article states that the old higher denomination in circulation would still be accepted. Which means they can still use their old notes. Meanwhile, all our top Presidential candidates are majority shareholders in many banks. We would be deceiving ourselves thinking they can't get these new notes easily. |
emmyclassic:Continue speaking for the South West... Mr Sodiq. Mind you the issue of religion is never and will never be an issue to us in the SW. That's why till date we remain the best of all tribes. We are the most accommodating and most resourceful. For us, humanity comes first! |
potent5:I speak on facts and it's why I stand out from the mob. The mob will always have it's say buy realists will always their way. |
Eriokanmi:So you acknowledge you're suffering the effects but still support it because it affected your imaginary enemy which is TInubu. Afterall, once we kill Tinubu Nigeria will become an eldorado abi? Dey play! Let me tell you, it's easier to destroy things than building. Businesses that would be affected or destroyed by the policy would not be easy to rebuild. Emefiele that is simply bitter because he lost APC presidential ticket is not your concerns but Tinubu. In the first 4 years we all saw how Tinubu was sidelined by Buhari and Abba Kyari and how well they ran the nation into debts. Tinubu supported Buhari same way he supported Fashola and Sanwo Olu to be governors. That Buhari ended up been a failure was never Tinubu's fault. That was on Buhari. Tinubu will win and you will wail for atleast 4 years. And I'm sure El Rufai took you to his house where he was hiding the 22b also right?. This is why Aisha Buhari had to get someone like you arrested and beaten up weeks ago. |
franchasng:Very good. This is a reasonable response and intellectual explanation that I expect..not just jumping straight into attack mood. I am reasonably pleased and satisfied with your response. Even though I can't confirm this is true but it surely makes good sense. Thank you for that. However, can we also have an explanation on the 250m (over $2m) then cash caught with his aides in Lagos?. His claim was that the money is meant for a contractor. I would love to have an answer to that and if convinced you may just win a voter for Obi. |
The electioneering moods and campaign season has shown truly that the problem of Nigeria isn't the leaders but the Nigerian youths who have always based their decisions on emotions and not facts. As a lawyer who has handled a few cases especially election petition, it is important to let people understand that emotions are nothing but facts are everything. Even common sense comes far behind facts! How convenient that we see some politicians as fairly good and some as really bad when infact all our major candidates shouldn't be seeking office but probably be on their ways to jail for gross abuse of office. Even facts and revelations doesn't seem to matter but hearsay, lies and deceit are the other of the day. Many young Nigerians ran away to the UK for greener pastures only to see that besides good roads and fancy environment, there is absolutely nothing abroad worth dying for if only we all work together to make this nation great. The narrative we have sold ourselves that this country is lost makes it impossible for young minds to even think about making it here at all. Our youths have forgotten that the real secret to wealth is finding a problem and creating a solution. Nigeria has many problems and fixing them is important. Dangote's style of business might not be pleasing to some but there's no denying that everything he used to import 20 years ago, he now produces locally. This is the real secret of how Dangote became Africa's richest. Those whose stock in trades are just to import cheap goods abroad come here to brag about how they are successful businessmen will never understand. For years Nigeria Import tiles until the Chinese saw the potential locally and started producing tiles here. No Nigerian till date is known for producing tiles locally. Same with many other products likewise. We have seen candidates who invested public money in family businesses or businesses family has interests, to candidates whose childhood till date cannot be explained to candidate caught on tape teaching his boss how to loot public funds. All these are greenlight but trust my people emotions will still rule their brains. For some of us who only deal on available facts, we never get surprised when candidates who never manufactured toothpick locally in over 40 years of importation experience in business suddenly start to shout from consumption to production. Even though this candidate imports almost 300 brands of FMCG. Someone whose aides were caught with 250m ($2m) cash and reportedly claimed it was to pay a contractor. Yet he's claiming to be the most accountable. Who pays cash to a contractor? Yet this was never made public until they were caught with cash. Even though the state assembly eventually claimed it conducted an investigation and saw nothing wrong. We all know behind the scenes dealings would have taken place. Another candidate claims to have built men and possibly even as opposition never for once got charged to court for corruption. Even though his tax consulting firm has proven to be one of the best in the nation. Although allegedly a drug Lord which the Americans have denied anyways. This same candidate cannot explain beyond reasonable doubts his links to the tax consulting firm, his roles in the shooting of peaceful protesting youths or why and how his wife and kids dominate the most vibrant sectors of his home state. Another strong candidate who used to be a civil servant, suddenly became a multi billionaire even against the rules of the civil service but his only campaign is asking his tribesmen to vote him and also insisting his region has never been President. All candidates running away from debates, none of these candidates has been able to discuss fundamental truths or strategy. But they have all perfected the arts of lies and deceits and the people foolishly buying into it. There's no reason wishing Nigerians luck. I simply wish them what they wish themselves but as for me, just like 8 years ago when I didn't vote the ruling party or opposition, I haven't been disappointed as the facts then have proven to be sufficient enough now. The propaganda against candidates and party or structures are very nonsensical. I expect candidates to be discussing fundamental issues of how to ensure police reforms, how to ensure technical trainings and how to ensure religious reforms. But they have suddenly because of elections become very religious and humble. We've been through this road before and we are heading into it again... Remember, let facts guide you and not your emotions. As for me, I have decided to endorse Kola Abiola of the PRP as he's seem to be the only candidate who has even tried to discuss fundamental issues and not profit on the emotions of people... |
searchlight:Fair enough. Mind you NIgeria has had many cabals and they all eventually lost out. There was once a cabal in the Yaradua government that kept denying the health of the President, they lost out. Under GEJ there was also a cabal that did everything against Buhari. Under Buhari it's no difference. If Tinubu wins fair and square he will be declared. Remember, he has almost all Fulani governors with him too. Even those you call cabals know they don't have monopoly in this country. OBJ did everything to get a third term but was shown the way out. MKO Abiola's case is totally different from today's reality. |
franchasng:Sabmiller is a conglomerate but NEXT which is Obi's family business are shareholders. Even Obi admitted this. He only claimed he had resigned from NEXT. But as a shareholder in next he will indirectly benefit from that investment. Also, putting state's money in a bank where you have shares also cannot be said to be done in good faith. The most important question is where did Obi keep the interest on the money he saved. For your information, banks pay interest on fixed deposits ahead. They only pay capital back on maturity. Meanwhile, according to Anambra governor, the money sunk into the Buhari has evaporated as the value of those shares have sunk badly. Let's discuss facts and try to argue based on common sense not emotions. Yes Obi is no different from the others except the others at least invested state money and got profit from it. |
Did Peter invest state's money in family business or not?? |
potent5:How very funny you can be. You keep shouting drug case when even the US has repeatedly said there was never a drug case but evading taxes. Do you know what America did to drug Lords until the late 1990s? Google the case of Pablo Escobar and the King of cocaine. You think America will allow a drug Lord living in their country escape? America will seize all your assets not some. On his education, after shouting that he didn't attend school, eventually you have all seen proof that he did attend Chicago State, Mobil confirmed he once worked with them. For you information, on Alpha Beta they are also working with over 15 other states. Laziness is a disease. You all think Alpha Beta just sits somewhere and start making money? The company works for it. Mind you, his name is not on the board of directors of the company and if he was using the company to steal Lagos money, then other states including PDP using Alpha Beta must be stupid for allowing Tinubu steal their money also. I am asking you for facts and evidences you're still talking hearsay. You claimed Obi doesn't want Doctors to blackmail him? How is that so my friend? So if Obi truly didn't believe in local government elections, why then did he go ahead and still conduct one after 7 1/2 years? He shouldn't have conducted any at all. |
searchlight:You said I don't have sense. No wahala. Just wait till election results start coming in. Your imaginary cabal will disappoint you by then. Just don't shout rigging please. |
potent5:Let's stop being emotional. All your allegations against Tinubu have no proof, they are just hearsay. However, everything he's said about PO are backed with facts and evidences. Instead of you to explain the reasons why ASUU and Doctors were on strike and have a mentally constructive debate. You went straight into allegations that have never been proven, this is not smart enough. Remember Tinubu was opposition for years and PDP or EFCC never charged him or any of his associates till today. We don't need bandwagon arguments again...let's start talking facts to convince undecided voters. We all want the best for the country. |
How conveniently foolish to think an Emefiele who lost out in the presidential primaries is actually doing anything for the good of Nigerians. Something he didn't do to save the naira for 9 years in office. Not to forget that Gov Okowa was the one who influenced his appointment as CBN governor instead of Imokuede then. As far as I am concerned, Emefiele is not more powerful than the supreme court. Those who are blinded by emotions and refused to be realistic, thinking a careless policy as this would stop a phantom vote buying and will help their preferred candidates win instead will be disappointed again when the supreme court gives a judgement that favours majority of the people. Vote buying doesn't work anymore in Nigeria. People will collect your money and still vote their preferred candidates. Osun was an example last year. |
Ezeama400:Your self delusions are reasons you and your likes always gets disappointed everytime. You really think Buhari would want another party to succeed him so they can expose all the rots in his government?. This is the problem with PO supporters, y'all keep refusing to be realistic to the facts on ground and at the end getting disappointed and would start shouting rigging |
Holluwhakemmy:But campaigns so far has shown Peter Obi to be more tribalistic and divisive than any of the top candidates. |
iSense247:Obviously this is another pained politician. When they supported GEJ then weren't we facing the same problems as now in SW?. Who says voting PO would change the narrative? We may deceive ourselves with wishful thinking as much as we like no doubt but we need to be realistic about the problem and solutions of Nigeria. What has been Okunronmu's contribution besides always wanting to be a politician so they can feed fat on the nation. He and his likes are not fit to talk about Yoruba interest. Tinubu included. |
Na computer village me next. It's obvious this campaign is loosing steam. Obi has tried anyways.. He should work on this movement towards 2027. |
The reason Nigerians always blame the judiciary is at play here again.. always emotional and that's why APC seems to always be ahead. You are all seeing facts backed by law but chose to be emotional. PDP and Ademola Adeleke just wasted our votes and time on queue. These facts are too hard to ignore. Another appeal victory loading for APC. The appeal I saw from PDP won't stand in court. PDP lawyers needs to return all money collected... |
Anybody who believes this lie must be a fool. Y'all keep thinking APC are as foolish as you are. Forgetting they have brilliant brains amongst their crew. Yeye... The same way PDP thought they had it all in Osun until tribunal ruling opened everyone's eyes. |
iwaeda:The good thing about all the scenario that played out on this election is a good sign that NIgeria is about to be great. Maybe within 10 years from now. No tribe or religion can come again to preach religious balancing for us again. APC are doing it now and no complaining so when Christians do it tomorrow there would be a good reference. The likes of Wike and all speaking up now and refusing to bow out of their party would be star boys on future when the South has a President and a party Chairman. To really have a great country we need to look beyond everything that would require anything but getting the best. Then everything else will follow. I see a new Nigeria and I see myself in it. |
