Onyechere is just a floor member. I doubt his stance represents that of the party.

djfox:
Its really hilarious how these GEJ apologist Igbos keep ranting about Buhari planning to somehow cut the out of his govenrment or refuse to do any projects in their region. But last time i checked Buhari never said he'll do any of that and he keeps saying he wants to include the SE in his government. And what does he get in return? well more hatred apparently. Oh well ill just be content with the fact that one person doesnt reflect the opinion of the whole tribe.

And how ldiotic are you to judge Buhari based on what some random people are saying online? Are they Buhari? Do they represent him in anyway? Ugh!

Buhari isn't going to do everything himself. His minions, especially the overzealous ones have to be put in check to counter any vendetta motive. Hence, the reminder to not neglect any region.

Ilekeh:
Who is rambling about it.....I'm sitting here trying to enjoy the breeze of change, but the stench from the SE won't let me hear.

Dude, everyone made their choice at the ballot box and that's done. Anyone expecting an apology for voting according to our conviction is wasting his time. The new govt MUST complete and start new projects in ALL regions. It's not an option.

Ilekeh:
If it doesn't matter, then why are you going on and on about it?

You're the ones rambling about it trying to heckle the SE for not buying the "change" hype.

fashrola:
Bros the NW did not vote for GEJ but they got appointments in high places... I think GEJ is the only president who is not acting based on tribalism and religion

Truly, all Jonathan's projects were evenly spread in all the regions... The North even got more in educational infrastructure in order to close the gap but lo, they clearly didn't need education.

tbaba1234:
Jonathan got significant number of votes in the North west in 2011, 400,000 in Katsina, 300,000 in sokoto,.

Without those votes, he would not have won.

The south east never gave buhari those numbers.

That was when the going was good with the northern pdp governors and politicians that later defected to APC. In 2011, buhari didn't get such vote in the whole south.
Buhari got nearly 20% votes in IMO this time because of rochas influence. APC will need to groom Men of integrity in the SE if they wanna have a strong foothold there.

1009ja:
If Saraki is senate president, the anti corruption image that Buhari has cultivated will be rubbished. Nobody will believe APC and the promises it made Nigerians. This is where Buhari puts his feet down and demand someone else. Saraki is poster boy for corruption and has so many corrutption cases on-gong. how would a hugely corruption Saraki shepherd the legislation reforms that the new NASS is going to face, including the reform of EFCC. Buhari should not fail even before he starts. Tinubu will try to load the system with a bunch of his fellow looters so as to dilute the scrutiny he is going to face as a new anti corruption drive gets underway. Unless Buhari is going to tell Nigerians that with his wide knowledge of the Nigerian landscape, he can't find somewhat honest people he will work with - people who backgrounds are not as clouded as the Tinubus and the Sarakis.

Isn't it too early for Gmb to impose candidates?, LET the house decide

doctokwus:
Just getting to know APC produced 2 HOR members from Imo state,that's great,very great.
If means d next speaker might be from d east since d east has lost out in d race to be f Senate president.
I just hope Imolites would be sensible and return okorocha to that seat by resisting all attempts to rig him out.

Rochas has performed well in IMO, so no shaking. I dunno what's giving the impression that he's not wanted anymore.

Omotolu:
...really!get your fact right or enrol in an history class...

Buhari has said it himself that he started believing in democracy After the fall of USSR...

CityNG:
If you're truly making that money in Nigetia then you'll be a complete dunce to abandon that for the US.

Trust me on that. I've been here since 86 btw.

Dude, that's less than $500 MONTHLY for a graduate. the hyper inflation here from the 90's till now ensured that even if he saves his yearly income, he can't get decent used imported car and apartment for himself...

Omotolu:
...2 unsimilar comparison.then the Shagari regime was an utter disaster.there was gross indiscipline in the State called Nigeria.I don't pray we have such administration as that of Shagari...

Excuses... Fact is that the military echelon of then loathed democracy and were highly impatient.

Omotolu:
...which man? I hope you are not referring to GEJ-the man that tried desperately to truncate our democracy.if GEJ is your hero,you should rethink your political philosophy and relevance to the society...

But Buhari DID truncate democracy...

I've seen the cattle version of such accident, unfortunately humans died along as well...

intergral:
even if you are given the whole vote of kano you'll not win the election so don't even bring that one up, what about akwa ibom and rivers state that I even have a video in my phone of the rigging? Igbos take the shame and make sure that in future you will tell your children that when change came to Nigeria you did not contribute to it!!!!

Were you expecting buhari to just coast to victory that easily? We say good things don't come easy. We made buhari work for and earn his victory.
PS: if you feel that Akwa ibom and to an extent Rivers are predominantly Ibo states then I've gotta question your enlightenment.....

danjumakolo:
Gej was voted massively in the north in 2011.
Even the last elections,gej got more than 6m votes in the north.This shows the northerners at least are true democrats and have spirit of one Nigeria.I can't imagine apc got less than five thousand in enugu or anambra

Buhari didn't even get 10% in any southern state in 2011. Gej made inroads in the North back then when the going was good with the northern pdp bigwigs. IMO state gave buhari nearly 20% votes largely because Rochas is hugely popular. Apc doesn't have such bigwigs in other SE states.... It's all politics, man....

danjumakolo:
The igbos are approximately 40m in Nigeria.
The entire south east did not give GMB 60,000 votes in the elections just because of hatred.Someone that took your son as cook for 25 years.

Shame on u all.

Na by force to vote buhari?... If we went back in time a billion times, buhari would still lose woefully in those areas, likewise GEJ in the North.... In every country, political parties have their strong holds. Face the reality.

bobo9ice:
SE and SS votes have become irrelevant if one can get full supports of the North and the West.
Shikinan!

Off point .... Is that going to stop the state allocations and ongoing projects in those areas?... Definitely not.

isbish:
We saw how ur people where killing themselves over 50k during the election. Someone almost died in the process of the struggle and fight over that money. U guys think money is everything. No it isn't...Gej can buy all Igbos with money but not Yoruba or a Hausa man who values trust and cooperation over money. If GEJ spent the entire Nigerian Budget in the North, it won't change their mind cos they have been the ones victimized nost by the failure of Gej's government. Did u even have the Gods to talk about tumb printing! Check out on youtube or the Videos circulating on how PDP riggers gathered and tumb printed. U guys are failures in this nation. I repeat, change ur ways and get accepted by others in Nigeria. IGBOS, change ur ways, u aren't better than others. Get the sense and respect others.

Bullshit... I repeat, not everyone bought the "change" hype... Deal with.it

isbish:
When we have been urging the Igbos to join hands with us to seek for change for a better Nigeria they never agreed cos of their sentiments. The sooner Igbos learn to live with others and denounce their attitude of we are the better people the better. They picked the wrong enemy to be the North while the South South people were the ones who inherited their properties and never agreed to let them have it back. Igbos, learn to get integrated with other tribes of Nigeria to have a sense of belonging lest u all continue to be at the background. U insult the North but a lot of u live there surving on ur business. Change ur ways!

Story... He MUST deliver his promises in the SS and SE. Did you expect him to get 100% of the votes? Expected everyone to prostrate and thumb print the broom logo on hearing an over hyped "change"?...

murtalaa:
Talk about reaping where you did not sow.

Last I checked, it was a contest... Not a War... Gej was heavily voted against in the North in 2011 but they still "reaped" 9 universities, two major rail rehabilitations , etc....

It's not a choice , it's an obligation.... He MUST impress the SS and SE....

BashMe1:
Come May29, u fit go cancel hin swearing in. u hear?

Off point....

BashMe1:
dullard, let's hw it all pans out after May29. d same manner dat threw Jonathan out of office cos ur facts during ur PDP campaigns r baseless. America war college na beans abi?

Show the kpali..... Is it that difficult?... He's won already so got nothing to fear.

Pataki:
None whatsoever. I don't want any useless PDP slaves coming here to gloat that their "heroic messiah"discovered so and so Minister for Buhari to use.

Too late... 40% of Apc members defected from pdp

BashMe1:
Go and contest it in court... dat's ma advise if u still doubt it.

Oh come on, that's silly. There's a case in court already. The public ought to see the.certificate if the news is true... I wonder if buhari can cope with the FOI era if he continues such attitude.

doctokwus:
Thanks man but its clear this was no natural death.Somebody or groups of people are definitely behind this and who else can it be than those who have lost out.
Anyway I will stick to your advice and not zero down who I suspect would be the culprits yet.

Any evidence to your claim?

cyril83:
Yimu!

If you believe the fire fire thing was natural then you need to have your brain examined.

Did you investigate and find no evidence of electrical fault or any hint of arson?... Or you're just relaxing with your smart phone In one hand and alomo on the other spewing conspiracy theories?

EggovinMma:
Political assassination.

Terrible! Even his family wasn't spared.
This world na playground.

Conclusion without investigation.... Anyone can die at anytime, politician or not.... Nobody has even bothered to find out the cause of the fire but merely said it's "strange"

BashMe1:
U can board an Abuja bus & head straight 4 d military HQ, u will get ur answer der...

Dude, Obama published his birth certificate after all the controversy. Buhari should do the same....

irunoobo:
[size=14pt]That is what they are known for in their region. Drug trafficking and kidnapping. They voted PDP as if their region benefited anything tangible. They hate others who are willing to sacrifice for a better Nigeria and future of unborn Nigerians. They rather get involved in crimes for survival than vote for change in their misfortunes.

Some of them will brag they don't care about politics but trade and commerce. Is drug trafficking and kidnapping parts of trade and commerce?

Confused set of haters[/size]

Toddler's rant.... If everybody joins APC, then where's the democratic spirit of competition?. .. You've developed a formidable party and you expect us to go back to the days of quasi one-party system?... Your tribal rants will be ignored.

DesChyko:
Enjoy the runout, Guys.
When Buhari comes in, he'll eliminate you all..
Even before you think of attacking anyone!!
#SoWeHaveBeenPromised.

Eliminate his kinsmen?... Watching in 3D

Well, apparently that's not what his supporters are boasting of.. They have very very high and sometimes unrealistic expectations, even for a critic's standard.
