El rufai has a point , cos I personally don't understand why In a totally black nation , we have to be rotating power among regions whether they have credible candidates or not ,
But in this context Orji uzor kalu has said something reasonable for once , El rufai should have said this earlier , why saying it now probably cos he has interest in ruling come 2025 ....
El rufai is looking for a way to marginalize the regions that haven't produced candidates , until those regions have ruled , power rotation must continue !
It's interesting tribalism in Nigeria is way bigger than racism !



[Distinguished senator Kalu is making an important point here . I am beginning to like him. Every region in Nigeria is blessed with smart intelligent patriotic individuals with presidential qualities so agree with him totally. Rotational arrangement will save us from unnecessary crisis. Every one in Nigeria is as important as another and we should encourage equity and fairness if not a major tribe like hausas and fulanis with high population will continue to be president. Every region deserves the opportunity to produce a president.[quote author=CaptBabosa post=81325012]

You know for some people, if they don't know the anybody on the list, that means there are no technocrats.

Let me tell you something about Nigerians...

Our only problem is divisive leaders, aside that, we are really not tribalistic.

Look at how every Nigerian has spoken in unison as to the brightness and potentials of this guy. No one cared to know where he's from, we just saw he's good.

It's the same way we saw what Fashola could do, and loved him.

Same way we saw what Nuhu Ribadu could do and loved him.

Same way we saw what Dora Akunyili could do and loved him.

There's hope for Nigeria after all, when all these divisive dinosaurs shall have been dead and gone.





Did I hear you say when they are dead and gone? This present generation is even more spiteful of each other and worse than their father's. Untill Government steps in to make it a crime to be tribalistic just like it is to be racist in the U.S. People will continue to try to ridicule each other based on ethinic difference s.

They don't have that generosity in them to help people. They are igbos. See how they signed and also destroyed May D's career. Abi where is Cynthia Morgan. For this life I so much dislike Igbo people

Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) has explained why it terminated the services of Intels Nigeria Limited from the eastern ports of Calabar, Delta and Port Harcourt.

The company, co-owned by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, provides comprehensive integrated logistics services for the Nigerian oil and gas industry and has 30 years of experience in port management and support services in shore bases across Nigeria.

The Managing Director of the NPA, Hajia Hadiza Bala Usman, told The Nation that the decision to terminate the services of Intels was informed by the latter’s inability to remit over $140 million to the federal government’s coffers, being the accumulated revenue it generated for a period of time.

“Intels was providing a service of collecting revenue for port operations and they were not remitting as and when due,” she said.

She recalled that after she came on board as NPA MD, she signed “a supplementary agreement which required all revenues generated to be paid into the single treasury account (TSA).”

Usman said Intels, however, reneged on the agreement it had with the NPA and the corporation was left with no option than to cancel the contract outright.

She said: “Following the agreement, Intels has been very difficult in making payments to us. They owe us over $140million that they have not remitted. So, we felt such non-compliance and such level of impunity should not be accepted, hence we issued a notice of termination to them.

“We are going to advertise for a replacement company that would offer such services at a cheaper cost because Intels is charging the Nigerian government 28 percent for revenue collection and typically such commissions are limited to 10-15 percent.

“You hardly see where an agency is charging 28 percent. So, we have issued a notice of termination and we are also going to court to ensure that those monies not credited by Intels are paid back”.

if they give SE SP, DSP, speakership position and every other posts
igbos won't vote for them in 2023. Their hatred for APC is unquantifiable.
Beside they won without SE input this year

The man is a shrewd politician. He probably has his eyes set on something better in the future.
He expects the party to remember his sacrifice and compensate him next time.

DTaj:
Game of thrones!

My usually reliable sources (check my previous comments before dicey political games) told me that BOTH Ali Ndume (who Bukola Saraki crudely disgraced via almost one year suspension and withheld all his entitlements and influenced his removal as Senate Leader because he supported Magu of EFCC) and Umar Bago (a core Buhari boy from their CPC party era) were planted deliberately by APC and its smart/strategic planners with a view to giving PDP false hope!

This morning, Ahmed Lawan, PhD from the UK, and Femi Gbajabiamila, a US-trained lawyer and articulate parliamentarian, will be elected Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives!

APC guys have learnt from the Bukola Saraki error of 2015!
