Can you stop hating

While no one says he did it alone but to diminish the Leadership role he offered to entrench opposition politicking while tactically building bridges and alliances across the Niger is to play blind

Have you come of age in 2003 when PDP under Obasanjo tricked,rigged and bulldozed his way into the SW and almost all the States in the SE where people affirmed that APGA won most elections but for the rigging machinery of the PDP whereby figures were falsified

It was only Tinubu who warned the then AD Governors about adopting Obasanjo as Presidential candidate just like APGA is foolishly doing now

The AD Governors(apart from Tinubu) claimed SW solidarity with Obasanjo and the need not to disgrace him hence asked people in their states to vote OBJ for President and them as Governor a situation which got the electorates confused........thereby allowing PDP to rig unconscionably

It was Tinubu who kept drumming it to Lagosians then that AD had no Presidential candidate and should not make the mistake of voting for PDP......

Having won his re-election,he took it upon himself to singularly finance the resurgence and sponsor of candidates in several states since most politician then were battle weary and didnt want to play in the opposition as most of them never believed a ruling party could ever be defeated in Nigeria but for Tinubu's doggedness and vision

PDP penetrated and distabilised all the opposition parties by planting moles amongst them thereby making them to become factionalised.....

That was what led to the formation of AC.......and later rechristened ACN when some other politicians like Oshiomhole,Ngige,Ikimi,Atiku,Lawan Gwadabe,etc from across the Niger join to make it a National party

Your last sentence is most satisfactory!!

cemefor:
When you hear Aguiyi or Murtala Mohammed carried out a coup, does it mean he did it alone? Same with the Tinubu, the leader of any movement gets the most credit.

You are not an insider. are you That Tinubu is making the most noise , he might not be the mastermind. Perhaps he is just been fronted. Its takes an insider to know.

Suleman Hasheem, the man trekking from Lagos to Abuja has received four separate royal receptions in Niger State. He arrived Bida five days ago and was treated to a royal reception by Etsu Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubukar. While there, he passed two nights before proceeding to the next town and soldiers had to be deployed to disperse a crowd of locals trooping in to catch a glimpse of the 33-year-old man.

Two years ago, Hasheem said, he made a promise to trek from Lagos to Abuja if Buhari wins the then-upcoming election, saying the purpose of terminating his journey in Abuja is where he thinks he could see the retired General and congratulate him. Hasheem, who grew up in Osun and Lagos, now lives in Ibadan where he is working with a construction company. He is currently in Suleja, Niger State, where he was also accorded a royal reception. Hasheem told Weekly Trust that his decision to embark on the mission was borne out of happiness he feels for General Muhammadu Buhari becoming a leader for the masses. He said in Bida four days ago that after 13 days of trekking, he had so far worn-out five pairs of shoes with a new pair just bought for him by a good Samaritan. He showed Weekly Trust the blisters on his feet, which made him pass two days in Bida, so as to treat himself.

Hasheem said before embarking on his mission, he ensured that he was financially equipped but to his amazement, up to the time he arrived Bida, he did not have to spend a single kobo from his pocket because of kind, generous receptions he has been receiving. More pictures below:


At the time of this report, Hasheem was said to still be in Suleja getting set for the final lap of his walk , en route Abuja.

What does he do for a living??

Howmon:
I want to suggest that this new administration should please make former Lagos state governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, the minister for power. He is well known for his dynamism and unfettered dedication to work. I will advice that he be utilised for this function as to experience meaningful change and progress in the power sector. I stand to be corrected!!!

NopE!

Opposition is good. But it's not right to say that an economy can't develop without it.

When u express your opinion on a public forum u can't say d public should let you be. You shd be ready to defend whatever u say to the public.

Good you have expressed on it, we must not all think alike. thanks

Only mastermind

Activa:
Open your mind more. What you're saying is ok but is not final.

It depends on leadership even under a one-party system. It worked in Singapore. A multiparty system is not a guarantee for development. That's my point.

I still feel is better for Nigeria not to have a one party system. This is not the time!! even while PDP was in power it wasn't a one party system.

Its my opinion so please let me be. thanks

Haykay80:
the political ingenuity of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu which resulted in the victory of the party at the recently concluded general elections, the Royal Ambassador to the Alaafin of Oyo, Aare Ayandotun Ayanlakin has said he (Tinubu) had attained towering political heights similar to that of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo.

He insisted that with the enviable pedigree of Tinubu, there is no living Yoruba leader today that can match his record.

Aare Ayanlakin said this yesterday while addressing newsmen in Ibadan.

He further stated that just like his prediction a year ago that Governor Abiola Ajimobi would win the election, he said that the governor would become the Vice-President of the country sooner or later.

He said, “I agree that there is a saying that the people of Oyo State don’t serve one governor twice. But the saying arose because those who had been governing Oyo State, especially during the current republic, until Ajimobi came on board, had not been serving the people.

“They have been serving themselves rather than serving the people. The reverse is the case with Ajimobi. He has been serving the people and that is why the people of Oyo State gathered together and gave him a second term.”

Ayanlakin said, “Since Ajimobi assumed office, the masses have witnessed tremendous change and that is why Ajimobi broke the age-long second term jinx because he is an outstanding governor, who has made land mark achievements and the electorate will vote for him on that basis.

“He has transformed almost all sectors. He has built roads, transformed the health sector, turned around education and agriculture, created a peaceful and conducive atmosphere and improved the welfare package of workers.”

So his effort alone made it happen right

Omooba77:
Director, Media and Communication of the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council, Garba Shehu, has described the transition committee, set up by President Goodluck Jonathan, as trickish.

The committee set up by Jonathan, who lost the March 28 presidential election, is expected to meet with the one to be set up by the President-elect, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.), ahead of the May 29 inauguration of the new administration.
But Shehu, in an opinion article, which he released on Sunday, said Jonathan’s committee was constituted by “the worst of our prejudices.”
He warned the Buhari-led incoming administration to be careful about its choice of people who would constitute its own version of the committee.
He stated, “The President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has earned an incredibly high amount of goodwill following his acceptance of the outcome of the election, which itself had the effect of de-escalating tensions not just among Nigerians but all over the continent.

“But the President’s committee on transition and handover looks to be a trickish one. It seems to be like one drawn to ‘massage’ the numbers and ensure safety for ‘team Jonathan’.

“Some names on that list have certainly made the eyes pop out of their sockets. In the President’s list, you have men and women who reflect the worst of our prejudices; men and women who have made themselves the mouthpieces for everything regressive.

“This is one reason why President Buhari and his party cannot be too careful on choosing who they will give their part of the assignment to. There is no room for complacency in doing this either. Nothing that puts the new government at a risk should be allowed to happen.”

Shehu, who warned that politicians should be excluded from the committee to be set up by Buhari, insisted that the committee should be peopled by technocrats.

VANGUARD — There appears to be no end
in sight to the current face-off between the
19 All Progressives Congress, APC,
lawmakers in the Ekiti State House of
Assembly and Governor Ayo Fayose.
Some 20 minutes after leaving a church
service where the clergyman advised the
governor to embrace peace by reconciling
with APC lawmakers, Gov. Fayose made a
live broadcast on the Ekiti State Radio and
Television, ESRT, where he told Ekiti people
to defend their mandate from the APC
lawmakers, who he claimed were coming to
invade the state to impeach him today.
But the lawmakers are insisting on going
ahead with Fayose and his deputy, Dr
Kolapo Olusola’s removal.
This is coming barely 48 hours after Fayose
promised to dialogue with the aggrieved
lawmakers.
To ensure that the APC lawmakers would
not achieve their motive, the Okada riders
association and the commercial transport
workers operating in the state are toeing
the path of the governor by telling their
members to converge on the premises of
the state House of Assembly today at 6
a.m and defend the mandate freely given to
Fayose and his deputy during the June 21,
2014 governorship election.
During the governor’s live broadcast on the
ESRT, he told the people to defend their
mandate from the invading APC lawmakers
and defend him against the alleged
impeachment.
He urged drivers and Okada riders in
particular to move out en-masse to defend
his mandate, saying: “My mandate is your
mandate and you must defend it.”
Okada riders, NURTW mobilise members
Barely 10 minutes after, two statements
emerged on the state radio as public
announcements that were being broadcast
intermittently.
Below are the transcripts of the two
statements from the drivers union and
Okada riders association.
“All Okada riders in Ekiti State are enjoined
to be on the look-out for strange faces in
the state from tomorrow. This is because it
has been gathered that APC lawmakers
working with Dr Adewale Omirin are
planning to truncate the peace of the state
by invading the state with armed thugs.
“All Okada riders in the state should be
mobilised to the House of Assembly by 6
a.m tomorrow. Governor Fayose’s mandate
is the mandate of Okada riders. We must
defend it with the last drop of our blood.”
Signed: Niyi Dahunsi, Chairman, Okada
Riders Association.
In another announcement, the National
Union of Road Transport Workers, NURTW,
through its chairman, Clement Adekola
said: “Information available to us is that
the APC lawmakers are planning to invade
the state with lorry-loads of thugs recruited
from Lagos and Osun states tomorrow.
“The APC lawmakers have vowed to kill
anyone that stands on their way to
achieving the plot of impeaching Governor
Fayose and his Deputy, Dr Kolapo Olusola.
“We, therefore, alert all members of our
union to be on the look-out from tomorrow.
All drivers unions members should be
prepared to defend the mandate freely given
to Governor Fayose.
“Our members should monitor movement of
vehicles into Ekiti State from today so as
to prevent invasion of thugs whose only
intention is to kill our people. We gave our
mandate to Fayose and we must be
prepared to defend it.”
It was signed by Samuel Agbede, Chairman,
Road Transport Workers Association of
Nigeria and Clement Adekola, Chairman,
National Union of Road Transport Workers.
Stop inciting Ekiti people, APC lawmakers
tell Fayose
The 19 APC lawmakers in the Ekiti State
House of Assembly in a reaction to
yesterday’s broadcast by Governor Fayose,
said the governor was never committed to
peace.
A statement by Special Adviser on Media to
Speaker Adewale Omirin, Wole Olujobi said
the governor had in his broadcast
demonstrated that he was never committed
to the peace he preached barely 24 hours
before his inciting broadcast.
The statement said: “How do you reconcile
this inciting broadcast with a plea he made
for peace not quite 24 hours earlier which
Ekiti people and indeed Nigerians thought
was a good move by the governor to thaw
the frozen relationship between him and the
lawmakers? This is a confirmation of what
Omirin said in his Sunday Punch interview
that the governor can’t be trusted in any
peace move.”
Olujobi expressed regrets over failure of the
governor to embrace the homily by the
clergyman in his thanksgiving service where
he was admonished to embrace peace with
APC lawmakers by paying their entitlements
and seek genuine reconciliation to move the
state forward.
According to the statement, “it is shocking
that the governor, who refused to make any
remark or commitment during the church
service after the man of God appealed to
him to embrace peace, could go on air few
minutes after the service to start inciting
workers, traders, Okada riders and artisans
to defend him with their last drop of blood.
“As if his live broadcast was not enough,
Ekiti people were shocked when a public
service announcement started running
intermittently on the state media urging
Okada riders to look out for strange faces
across the state and attack them because
they are thugs that are being imported by
APC lawmakers.
“They are also to converge on the House of
Assembly as early as 6 a.m today to
prevent the lawmakers from performing
their legal duties.”
Stressing that they were not planning any
invasion of the state with thugs, the
lawmakers called the attention of Nigerians
to the unlawful acts of the governor in his
desperate move to ensure that the
lawmakers are rendered ineffective in the
discharge of their lawful duties.
“We have said for the umpteenth time that
the governor would be given a fair hearing.
He has nothing to fear. He should continue
to have faith in the Nigerian constitution.
He had just won a constitutional matter at
the Supreme Court. We will apply the same
law that the court used to give him victory.
He is an Ekiti man. We don’t hope to
punish him unjustly,” the statement added.
It stressed that Fayose could not benefit
from the law and at the same time prevent
other elected representatives of the people
from enjoying the same benefit.
“The best he and his deputy can do is to
appear before the panel to be set up by the
CJ and defend themselves. This is the rule
of law which he has benefited from and
there should not be an exception to this,”
the statement added.
Fayose not inciting anyone —Aide
Meantime, the Special Assistant to the Ekiti
State Governor on Public Communications
and New Media, Lere Olayinka, has
described as false, claim by the factional
Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Dr
Adewale Omirin, that Fayose was inciting
the people against the APC lawmakers.
He said: “The reality in Ekiti State today is
that the people are rising up to defend their
mandate and if Omirin and his APC
lawmakers are not working against the
people’s mandate, they have nothing to
fear.”
Olayinka said the APC should rather ask
themselves what they have done to offend
the people to the extent that none of the
lawmakers, who sought re-election was re-
elected at the April 11 election.
He asked whether it was Fayose that
incited the people against the APC on
March 28 and April 11 when the people
openly rejected the party with their votes.
The governor’s aide, who reiterated
Governor Fayose’s commitment to peaceful
resolution of the crisis in the state House of
Assembly, added: “The governor cannot
stop the people who voted for him from
protecting their mandate.
“Some of these people who called
themselves elite were in the comfort of their
bedrooms in Lagos, Ibadan, Abuja and
abroad when Okada riders, traders, drivers,
workers, artisans, students and all the
common people of Ekiti stayed in the sun
and rain to cast their votes for Fayose.
“Because Fayose wants peace and he is
committed to it, those who gave him the
mandate to govern them for four years
should not defend their mandate if it is
being threatened by a few people who they
have rejected with their votes?
“Instead of making noise in the media, the
APC lawmakers, including Omirin and those
deceiving him with the prophesy of him
becoming acting governor of Ekiti State
should face the reality of their total
rejection by Ekiti people and stop running
from Idanre to Lagos, Osogbo and Abuja
trying to uproot the tree planted by the
people of Ekiti.”
Uniform men storm Ado-Ekiti — APC
Spokesman for Dr Adewale Omirin, Wole
Olujobi late last night alleged that scores of
soldiers in about 12 vehicles stormed Ado-
Ekiti, Ekiti State capital, in what looked like
a covert operation in aid of Governor
Fayose who squealed early in the day
alleging possible invasion of the state by
APC lawmakers today.
It’s a lie —Fayose’s aide
But the governor’s Special Assistant on new
media, Lere Olayinka responded saying: “I
am in Ado Ekiti as I write. In fact, I am
along Ijigbo area of Ado Ekiti. I have not
noticed the presence of any soldier.” www.newspunch.org/tension-in-ekiti-as-impeachment-crisis-worsens/

America is not without its problems.

It is possible for d economy by a multi party system than a one party system. Compare India to china

Democracy is good but what I'm trying to correct is that u shd not make it a final statement

Nigeria is also in a different phase of development. If Singapore had adopted multi party democracy what would have happened to her economy?

Until greed and stealing of public find is addressed in Nigeria , having oppositions is the way out!! Happy PDP is still alive and will say it a million times.

One is elected the other is selected/handpicked
One governs the other manages an affair
One operate something a mini country called a State the other manages only just an aspect of a nations economy
One cannot be changed easily the other can be changed easily
One resides in the states of concern the other stays at federal capital
One is very popular among the people he governs the other is more popular in the arm of ministry they control

Both are Honourable... with the few above criteria and some more points you can add, then decide for yourself which you thing is higher

With None/poor performance. I cant stick to this rule. !!!

Benjoh:
it is now you know that one party system is not good for a nation buh all of u (Igbos) av forgotten when you were calling APC all sort of names I think I can remember one, which is "supporter of APC". Thank God the JANJA has com to rule you all.

For the fact that I support PDP does not mean APC should phase off, Visvarsa. America thrives on 2 strong party system.
While one rules, the other check/criticises it failures that way a lot of good adjustment is achieved.....in the system. Sometimes they get tired and just try the other party to see what they got to offer. 'US is happy over this change in power' in Nigeria because it was the same change 'Slogan' that was used during Obamas campaign and also hearing that APC is promising a lot of good change to Nigeria. Is narrow mindedness not to look beyond and above tribe and religion.......which is still the case in Nigeria and hoping we will grow pass that. So grow up Tribal bigot! There is so much good about Ibos that's why you walk, wear, drink, eat, sleep dream, and even poo Ibos....So Ibos are very important in your life.

Chiaka:
Thank God PDP is still alive in some State, one party system is not healthy for any economy

Activa:
Not true. May be for democracy and freedom of choice.

Very true without opposition. There will more and more corruption and misdeeds. look at America they have 2 strong parties so things are moving. It the incumbent party is not doing well the other party campaigns strongly against them and may win because of their lapses. Like the case of PDP and APC Although are politics are yet to be void of tribal and religious sentiment. Hoping we'll get their if the government keeps doing the right things.

Adenex3051:
I have watched with keen interest the controversy generated by President Good luck Jonathan's concession of defeat and congratulatory call to GMB after losing the election.
While some sections of the Nigerian media, the political class and some nonpartisan respected individuals and even international media and eminent personality hailed the act to high heavens, it was heart breaking reading how some Nigerians
especially some members and sympathizers of the APC condemned President Goodluck Jonathan's act of humidity and courage on some social media including on Nairaland here
Now, my question is this: did General Buhari congratulate any of his previous political opponents after losing the previous election? That is, did he congratulate Presidents Obasanjo, Yar'Adua and Goodluck Jonathan in 2003, 2007 and 2011 respectively when he lost against them?
If the answer is NO, then let us appreciate President Jonathan if just for this irrespective of his "sins" against the Nigerian people afterall our President-elect was never as magnanimous as that against his previous opponents even as good a man as he is.

Simply put he never did. !!!

Chukwudi should become the leader of APC because as far as I have read is named has been mentioned all over this thread.

Yoruba people and voodoo! Buhari beware!!! I dey wait for una mouth o! Back to sender in advance

micolaj:
Economy?

Yeap!

Hmmmnn!!! Well that's his way......he makes and follows only his own rules. Still owing workers salaries, state civil servants have been clamouring he pays their salary. He refused to Install the chief Judge and locked up court for over a year now. Lots of people are awaiting trial and justice in cell, some are even innocent , the court has been under lock and key for over a year in Rivers State. Among the innocents still in cell for over a year awaiting trial is a young lady who stood in to be arrested instead of her sick dad when the police came to arrest her dad over some problem the dad has with someone......this happened shortly when the court was shut by Ameachi. Ever since she has been in cell and her dad is now dead, shortly after her mum died too, she is left now with just she and her siblings with no parents and she is still in cell till date.......awaiting

Simple Instruction(s) are very simple indeed !!!!

Blame Past And Present S/E Governors Not The
Oba Of Lagos By Jessica Obioma
My husband and I really relished the jokes that
flooded social media as a result of Oba Akiolu’s
threat to drown the Igbos living in Lagos in the
lagoon if they don’t vote for his candidate –
Akinwunmi Ambode. The one that takes the cake is
not Basket mouth’s discounted live jackets for the
Igbos. No, it’s the one that says Igbos living in
Lekki had refused to come out on the Election Day
to vote because they live next door to the lagoon. I
thought that was hilarious.
Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu
Now seriously speaking. That threat by the Oba
wasn’t funny at all. However, nothing about those
crude, mean comments from the Oba surprised
me because this particular Oba has always come
across as one of the few less accommodating
Yoruba men I have ever seen. Royalty is not about
brute force or hooliganism. But let me move on.
It’s about time my brothers and sisters from
Igboland sat back and took stock of how and
why things have turned out so hopelessly and
helplessly for them. The civil war ended many
decades ago. How did they sit back and allow a
few mean greedy and little-minded
kleptomaniacs from their own tribe reduce
them to a charity case in other lands. Why
have they allowed past and present South East
Governors to rob them of not only their means
of livelihood but also their right to live and
work in their home land? Once the enabling
environment is not there for you to thrive and
blossom you are forced to seek solace
elsewhere. And that’s what the systematic
looting of state resources by past and present
South East government have done to sons and
daughters of Igboland. Why won’t the likes of
Akiolu denigrate them when their own so
called leaders have devalued, diminished and
degraded them?
Some years back, a man called Sam Mbakwe as
Governor of Imo state showed selfless leadership
by making the welfare of the citizens a priority. He
was ready to suffer mockery in the hands of the
Shagari government, and was labelled the
“weeping Governor” because he was bent on
making sure his people were not denied their
entitlements. He spent the state resources on
developing the people and their communities.
Even the blind saw it and the deaf felt it. He did not
need to appoint any PR consultant or Lying Press
secretaries to peddle lies in the media about
invisible legacy projects.
Dee Sam Mbakwe, as he was fondly called by all,
provided good roads, clean drinkable water
everywhere and affordable quality medical care.
Even though the state capital was Owerri, he
constructed good roads with deep drainages in
major cities like Aba and Umuahia. He set a
standard which subsequent Governors refused to
emulate due to sheer greed and wickedness. And
he did not have the kind of billions these
Governors have been swimming in. Mbakwe gave
all Imo state University students bursary awards,
and Jim Nwobodo did same in Anambra. Workers
received their salaries promptly. Parents were
able to take charge in their homes. Business
boomed in Aba and Onitsha. People came from all
over Nigeria to buy goods from these markets. But
today Onitsha and Aba look like war zones with
horrific odours everywhere.
Since I999, the South East have been
bedevilled by heartless, blood thirsty, and the
worst breed of greedy Governors. They have
been ruling with high handedness, roguery,
and lies. It’s been a case of Me-my-mother-son
and family plc. You dare not raise your voice or
you pay with your own blood.
So, our helpless and almost castrated Igbo
men, who cannot challenge their Governors, go
about chanting things like “OBJ hates us, even
though his government paraded so many
ministers from Igboland, Hausas don’t like us
that’s why they killed us during the civil war,
oh, Yorubas loathe us, in fact they are all
tribalistic.” So what about your own blood,
your kith and kin in leadership positions? One
of you was Vice President Ekwueme, then
came your so called President Ebele Jonathan,
another is the SSG Anyim, Ngozi has been in
charge of the nation’s coffers for years yet
most of you have not been paid salaries in the
states since December, the Aviation Minister
until lately was Stella your own sister, what
has come out of all these?
They just served their pockets and not the
interest of the Igbos. Awolowo gave his tribe
free education and Fashola is doing the same
in Lagos. Now Igbo young men and women
have left their homes to come and work in
Lagos as house helps so that they could enjoy
free education. Abia state Governor sacked all
the civil servants and teachers in Abia who are
not Abia indigenes even though some are
married to husbands who live and trade in the
state. If it were a Yoruba Governor that did that
Igbo hypocrites, who dare not talk in their states,
would chant to high heavens about tribalism. Go
to that slum called computer village in Lagos and
you will see handsome but haggard-looking
unkempt young Igbo boys hanging around dirty
shops in the name of apprenticeship. They can
hardly finish a correct sentence in English.
The same Igboland that was reputed for thriving in
education no longer cares about it. You now have
to be a thug to a rogue politician, a Malaysian-
based drug pusher, or a 419ner with a base in
South Africa to make it as an Igboman. Courtesy of
our Governors. God will certainly reward these
thieving Governors. When you look at the map of
Nigeria and see the small area called South East
you can see that it would not cost much to develop
it. If only these Governors could use up to 50 per
cent of the allocations they collect monthly from
the federal government there would not be so
much poverty and deaths in Igboland. The biggest
industry in Igboland now is burials. People are
just dying of malaria and high blood pressure
because they cannot afford medical treatment and
they can’t afford even a meal a day. They all look
so malnourished and traumatised even though
they are not in a civil war.
The South East especially Abia state have
paraded the worst set of Governors in the
country since 1999 because these Governors
make a living out of rigging elections and
subverting the will of the people. Any state
INEC chief that comes is easily bought over
with hundreds of millions of the people’s fund
that’s how they keep perpetuating their
stooges in power after they have looted the
state treasury for eight years. They continue to
use their anointed and rigged-in stooges to
milk the state coffers. The South East have
never enjoyed democracy so their people keep
running and seeking a better life elsewhere in
Nigeria. So, why won’t the Oba of Lagos trample
upon them when their own blood are humiliating
and crushing them daily without blinking an eye?
