Good work bro. Only that you forgot to include crude oil in Ondo & Lagos States' Lists.

NewNigeriaMind:
Wait let me understand this,

Fashola and fayemi the buhari favourites are the young lions.

Well,

Well Tinubu should let these two become all they can be, he should support.it.


Come on Tinubu, you are already great, you mentored these boys, let them do as they please.

Tinubu we respect you, but let these boys the young lions bloom.

Sure, he will. Tinubu is not self-centered.
He is a man that believes so much in the prowess of sound minds,more reason why we saw alot of technocrats in his cabinet during his dispensation as the governor of Lagos State.( the likes of Fashola,Ambode,Fayemi,Aregbesola, to mention a few, were once part of this great cabinet.)
I don't think tinubu is aspiring for any public office again as widely claimed (but i don't know about appointments).And as it stand, his number one priority for now is working towards the success of the incoming APC govt.

Only Buhari has done something similar.

I am in total support of GMB's hard stance on this. Gone are the days when ministers or public office holders are imposed on the president simply because they all belong to the same political party. GMB should single-handedly choose people of impeccable character who he feels are ready to serve this nation selflessly and with dignity. The era of nepotism in our political system is dead & buried.

bilms:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu may end up being stranded in Buhari's presidency!!

Despite his enormous sacrifice to railroad Buhari to becoming APC Presidential Candidate which was the pedestrian upon which the General got elected for the first time in his entire life, Asiwaju Tinubu may have been confronted with a feign hope of becoming relevant under the incoming presidency of the Norther

@Op, it seems you and your facebook friend are yet to recover from Gej's colossal loss, isn't it If you feel you can't cope with Tinubu's indelible masterdom in our polity, well, i think the lagoon is large enough to accomodate YOU and your likes.

Truckpusher:
People like Orubebe didn't do their home work well, else people like OBJ wouldn't have witnessed the elections.

what would he had done o

Truckpusher:
Until you expose the unprecedented fraud that took place in the North ,I think you should just keep quiet.Hypocrisy is a disease.

You remind me of Orubebe

He's a "goner" already.

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

The Yoruba elite and area-boy politics;
Igbo marginalisation and the responsible limits of retribution; and
The Yoruba Factor and "Area-boy" Politics.

My views on the Yoruba political leadership have been thoroughly articulated in some of my writings, prime among which was " Afenifere: Syllabus of Errors" published by This Day (The Sunday Newspaper) on Sept 27, 1998. There was also an earlier publication in the weekly Trust entitled " The Igbo, the Yoruba and History" (Aug. 21, 1998).

In sum, the Yoruba political leadership, as mentioned by Balarabe Musa, has shown itself over the years to be incapable of rising above narrow tribal interests and reciprocating goodwill from other sections of the country by treating other groups with respect. Practically every crisis in Nigeria since independence has its roots in this attitude.

The Yoruba elite were the first, in 1962, to attempt a violent overthrow of an elected government in this country. In 1966, it was the violence in the West which provided an avenue for the putsch of 15th January. After Chief Awolowo lost to Shagari in 1983 elections, it was the discontent and bad publicity in the South-West which led to the Buhari intervention.

When Buhari jailed UPN governors like Ige and Onabanjo, the South-Western press castigated that good government and provided the right mood for IBB to take over power. As soon as IBB cleared UPN governors of charges against them in a politically motivated retrial, he became the darling of the South-West. When IBB annulled the primaries in which Adamu Ciroma and Shehu Yar Adua emerged as presidential candidates in the NRC and SDP, he was hailed by the South-West. When the same man annulled the June 12, 1993 elections in which Abiola was the front-runner, the South-West now became defenders of democracy.

When it seemed Sani Abacha was sympathetic to Abiola, the South-West supported his take-over. He was in fact invited by a prominent NADECO member to take over in a published letter shortly before the event. Even though Abiola had won the elections in the North, the North was blamed for its annulment. When Abdulsalam Abubakar started his transition, the Yoruba political leadership through NADECO presented a memorandum on a Government of National Unity that showed complete disrespect for the intelligence and liberties of other Nigerians.

Subsequently, they formed a tribal party which failed to meet minimum requirements for registration, but was registered all the same to avoid the violence that was bound to follow non-registration, given the area-boy mentality of South-West politicians. Having rejected an Obasanjo candidacy and challenged the election as a fraud in court, we now find a leading member of the AD in the government, a daughter of an Afenifere leader as Minister of State, and Awolowo´s daughter as Ambassador, all appointed by a man who won the election through fraud.

Meanwhile, nothing has been negotiated for the children of Abiola, the focus of Yoruba political activity. In return for these favours, the AD solidly voted for Evan Enwerem as Senate President. This is a man who participated in the two-million- man March for Abacha´s self-succession. He also is reputed to have hosted a meeting of governors during IBB´s transition, demanding that June 12 elections should never be de-annulled and threatening that the East would go to war if this was done. When Ibrahim Salisu Buhari was accused of swearing to a false affidavit, the Yoruba political elite correctly took up the gauntlet for his resignation.

When an AD governor, Bola Tinubu, swears to a false affidavit that he attended an Ivy League University which he did not attend, we hear excuses.

For so many years, the Yoruba have inundated this country with stories of being marginalised and of a civil service dominated by northerners through quota system. The Federal Character Commission has recently released a report which shows that the South-West accounts for 27.8% of civil servants in the range GL08 to GL14 and a full 29.5% of GL 15 and above. One zone out of six zones controls a full 30% of the civil service leaving the other five zones to share the remaining 70%. We find the same story in the economy, in academia, in parastatals.

Yet in spite of being so dominant, the Yoruba complained and complained of marginalization. Of recent, in recognition of the trauma which hit the South-West after June 12, the rest of the country forced everyone out of the race to ensure that a South-Westerner emerged, often against the best advice of political activists.

Instead of leading a path of reconciliation and strong appreciation, the Yoruba have embarked on short-sighted triumphalism, threatening other "nationalities" that they ( who after all lost the election) will protect Obasanjo ( who was forced on them). No less a person than Bola Ige has made such utterances.

To further show that they were in charge, they led a cult into the Hausa area of Sagamu, murdered a Hausa woman and nothing happened. In the violence that followed, they killed several Hausa residents, with Yoruba leaders like Segun Osoba, reminding Nigerians of the need to respect the culture of their host communities. This would have continued were it not for the people of Kano who showed that they could also create their own Oro who would only be appeased through the shedding of innocent Yoruba blood./

@Op, you posted rubbishh from your stock fish brain. 'm so happy for you

pneumaticos:
And where are you, in a cave

Oh! now I see, you are a caveman indeed.

Apparently, Fayose will be at the helm of the ship of PDP when Gej finally return to Otuoke.

Mr Kashamu hear these two wise sayings;


"A rag that is destined for refuse dump, a thousand needles cannot stop it."
"Only the wicked are always afraid of their shadows"

I think the stupidest thing he did was the chaos he caused on Jan 1st,2012 (He increased the pump price while Nigerians were still celebrating the New Year)... Or wait o

It should be the insentinent Kano presidential campaign rally he went for , a day after the attack in Nyanyan,Abuja that led to the death of over 70 young and promising Nigerians.

Or
maybe his church hob-nobbing.Believing only the pastors could bring his 2nd term ambition alive.

Or
When he knelt before the Kings & absorbing curses thinking it was heavenly prayers

Or
his public promulgation that stealing is not corruption

....to be continua

Must there be a Minister of State The party chieftains should pls allow this man (GMB) to do all that he wishes to do, they are all in the best interest of the people.I support his idea of not wanting to have more than 20 ministers. This will reduce the cost of governance and also give him an opportunity to manage his ministers effectively.

OREMUSSANCTUS:
Tinubu don use all d guy star
I love transformation
I hate "change"

When nothing meaningful is up there in your cranium, it's better you sleep

I believe the days of Oil Cabalocracy will soon be over..Patience is all we need.

darqly:
GEJ is the best thing to happen to Nigeria in recent times. He singlehandedly threw away his presidency and scattered the PDP, a feat the opposition struggled to achieve for more than a decade. For this singular reason, I can't begrudge him the title of HERO that some die-hard sycophants have conferred on him.
......and then a hero comes along, with the strength to carry on...

..badt guy...

eedriyz:
London bridge is falling down!

..It is better put as; PDP bridge is falling down!!

He was a good and humane leader.
His 2 years as president was far better than OBJ's 8 years and Jonathan's 6 years.
I think he was the only good thing that ever came out of PDP.

I hope so too. it's so unfortunate that the EFCC has given his travel passport back to him..hence, he might vanish before that day.

tete7000:
Positive move? Has he done anything? Maybe you wanted to say positive news or probably positive speculation. Don't count your eggs before they are hatched, while maintaining optimism, always remember humans are not dependable. Many promises were made by some in the past, years down the line nothing is done. And anyway what am I saying self, this is just a newspaper speculation, it isn't even coming from Buhari's mouth; so why should we be too reliant on it?

Check 'Move' in Noun context, then you'd see i haven't erred in my vocab.
It is true many promises were made by the PDP led administration but none of them was fulfilled.This also bring us to the question of how relatively credible this political party (PDP) and its entities are..As for me, so long as those words are truly coming from GMB, I'm ready to accept and live with it without giving a damn of whose ox is gored..Finally, an Optimist may see a light where there is none, but why must the pessimist always run to blow it out

Is she (Iweala) not part of the cartel rubbish.

lolaxavier:
Mess is a small word, Dumb is the right word for me...what about that? Rubbish..

What i think is that you've just given yourself the perfect moniker.Or would it be wrong to call you a dumb asss ?

Oklander:
You don't believe in somebody, why insult the sense of those that do? why organise a program about him? isn't that just to provoke people? now, why would a sane person just wake up to do that, and we say we want peace… smh

very good,you've said it all.
