This creates a big question on his fitness to hold that office |

Where those PVCs not the ones the Niger republic people used in 2015 against jonathan? When people said these things were happening then, some were skeptical but now this newly found evidence lends credit to the claim that folks from NIger republic were registered (and voted) here. What are the dates of issuance on those cards? What is the penalty for the electoral crime of electoral fraud? |
Who is the dunderhead? The Emir of Daura or DailyPost.NG? |
bobnatlo:I hope they don't say he is working for Saraki too |
bedspread:That is exactly the thing I wanted to say. I hope they don't tell us tomorrow that Magu was working for Saraki. |
Iamgrey5:You are actually supporting what he said by what you have said here: Iamgrey5:If the DSS would not have the courage to disobey court orders single-handedly, of course they are doing it with the backing of the executive. And we are not refusing to talk about the report provided by the DSS to the senate. We just cannot say that because Daura's actions did not favour the executive in that instance, that he works for saraki and not the executive. We cannot look at Magu's case and choose not to look at the other areas too... i)Where Kanu was refused release on bail (that helped Kanu become popurlar) ii) Where the DSS worked in the interest of Buhari by keeping Dasuki against court orders iii) Where the DSS worked for Buhari and held El-Zarkzarki against the orders of the court. iv) Where supreme court judges houses were illegally invaded (with the hope they would find something to justify the invasion afterwards) We cannot look at one side and ignore the other. We must look at both sides and it becomes very hard to say that Daura works for Saraki. Daura has broken the rules more brazenly for Buhari and the only incident that folks want to use as a basis for this wild claim is where he actually followed the rules and presented facts about Magu that Magu has not been able to prove not to be true. Please, let us stop this. If more information comes out suggesting Daura worked for Dr. Saraki, we will tilt towards that believe. For now, the only very tiny suggestion that there is any iota of correctness to this claim that the DSS boss worked for Saraki is how Saraki got wind of the attempt to arrest him. But it was not the DSS that lay siege to his house. It was the police. And people like Saraki have information sources everywhere. So that tiny sliver of a possibility is not even strong enough for us to give it much attention. For now, we see it for what has played out in public. It seems Mr. Daura has been sacked as a way to save face for the administration. |
oyoirabor:actually, I feel that guy should be ignored sometimes when the quality of what he puts here does not deserve our attention. Maina that was visited by the attorney-general of the federation in Dubai before being secretly reinstated. The presidency must also have been working for Saraki as the head of service wrote to the presidency warning them of the implication of the reinstatement they were trying to make. |
zinizta:There is nothing wrong with some people wanting Saraki impeached. And there is nothing wrong with Bukola Saraki and other senators wanting the president impeached. These are all legal moves. But trying to do it the way they did it in Benue state (in this same style) is just what Nigerians consider shameful. In Benue state, they carried out the laughable act to the end and announced Ortom impeached Here, they could not, and the backlash being great, they seem to have taken drastic measures to repair the self-inflicted damage. |

Cajal:I am not Igbo and I am the OP. I am saying if they had given Fashola the presidential ticket in APC, and he won, do you think the form the government has taken under Fashola would have been the same as have seen and experienced it under Buhari? |
I say this because while the pandemonium was going on this morning, APC senators gathered elsewhere (it is reported) and were being urged on (actually, aggressively goaded, according to the report) to put the signatures behind a Saraki impeachment. From this morning's events as they unfolded to us, the public... we logocalize that whoever was behind this was trying to synchronise the two activities to occur at the same time. i). The prevention of the PDP senators from being present, ii). and the carrying out of impeachment proceedings on Saraki, It a little bit of a stretch to ask us to believe that Saraki got the DSS to work for him this morning, and at the same time got Oshiomole and Buhari loyalists within the senate to actively fall in with the plan. |
Benz4pimp:What do you say of my post up there - the two different articles? |
Embark on a nationwide protest against the misdemeanours and failures of this current administration |
A quick search has led me to these two articles and events. One is from 2015, and the other from earlier this year The 2015 article: http://dailypost.ng/2015/01/05/2015-no-power-disqualify-buhari-inec/ This year (2018): http://dailypost.ng/2015/01/05/2015-no-power-disqualify-buhari-inec/

Benz4pimp:I do not know everything and I do not claim to be omniscient. Let those who know say. Meanwhile, I will do a quick search on this myself right now. |

If Buhari was disqualified and APC produced another candidate that won, tell me, would Nigeria have been like this? |
We all know the depths governance has continued to degenerate into in this country. And we are all saddened by this. It is already a long forgone conclusion that this era (occasioned by the kind of who acts as Nigerian leader today) is a regrettable error. And this can be found in the humble turnaround by many who supported him (the president). Humble and embarrassing as they are aware they publicly invested themselves into ensuring the emergence of the error we experience today. Indeed, no one could have stopped Buhari from becoming president except the rules, which seemed an opportunity provided by God our creator to save of from today's troubles without any fingers being pointed at anyone for attacking candidate Buhari in 2014/2015. One of the new pre-requisites for every presidential candidate was the provision of their WASC certificates. This requirement is much lower for the presidency than for say the office of governors, which requires that the candidate be a graduate from a tertiary institution and no one had any candidate to target in mind when the pre-requisite to qualify as candidate was added. But somehow, the press got to find out that candidate Buhari's WASC certificate was missing, and his failure to produce it became sensational drama within the polity. The ruling party chose not to pursue the matter through the courts, not willing to destabilize the polity and nation. Some individuals sued the candidate (and the INEC) to court on account of the candidate they let run, who according to INEC's own rules, did not qualify to run as candidate. The last case against the president (which was not noticed until months after his occupation of office) was silently withdrawn by the prosecution, a lawyer, after he had previously spoken with courage that he was not afraid of the threats he received because it will be known who hurt him if anything should happen to his life. Yes, he withdrew it silently in that matter where the fed government employed 13 SANs in response to the request for his WASC and has never spoken in public again. We cannot tell how he was prevailed upon but there is one person that remained mum all through the saga, as if the ball was not in his court. As if responsibility had not beckoned on him. As if he had the right to not do what, without any recourse to any kind of analysis, was one of the very basic requirements of his job. Like a bird who will not chirp. Like a cat who will not meow. Like a dog who will not bark, and like a parrot who will not talk... ...professor Atehiru Jega stood on the stage with all spectators looking to him, but acted as if his crowd was on stage as he looked on to the crowd as a man would look on to the stage, waiting for the performance of the performer to begin. Professor Atehiru Jega failed this country and everyone in it, when he mysteriously failed to follow the simple rules INEC itself had laid down for the qualification of candidates, and disqualify candidates that did not meet the rules or requirements. Till today, what can he give as his reason for not doing a simple routine part of his job. I am sure there are many candidates that may have been rightly disqualified for one reason or the other. However, he could not bring the strength or straightness of his perceived person to bear on what was a decision that had no other right or logical alternative other than to declare candidate Buhari as disqualified for not being able to meet its (INEC's) own minimum requirements for candidacy. Professors are chosen for a reason for that job. It is assumed they have the work ethics, intellect and character to execute the job without fear or favour. If that was the assumption, we were all wrong because Jega really monumentally failed and perhaps should be ashamed of himself. I say this because, if a journalist should suddenly ask him in an interview today, what his reasons were for not declaring the candidacy of Buhari void, I find it hard to imagine any kind of coherent response he will come up with. If Nigeria has gone backwards today, we might blame the voters that voted for president Buhari; we might blame the big wigs like Obj that threw their weight around him; we might blame anybody, even GEJ for being too for not being hard on corruption and losing Nigerian's trust, but there is no one we can singularly blame as much as we can singularly blame professor Atehiru Jega |
Magichand:You see what we suffered all these years in Rivers State? |
Interesting. Now they are in love with "thieves" for numbers sake and are full of glowing praises for them |
tomakint:It may not really be a miscalculation on his part. If the allegations of his having stole money during his tenure are true, perhaps he is not really thinking of a political career at this time. Perhaps he is thinking of saving himself from jail, but he will smile for the cameras and address the press knowing it is all about saving himself from jail. |
Baawaa:So how do you determine which is a lesser evil? That is if in fact the allegation of sponsoring the robbers is true (in the first place) |
durableking:Nonsense to me as they only seem to want to ride on these issues on account of the need for further self-popularity. For eg, Mr. Mbaka probably should not have frayed into politics the way he did. He even took the glory when Buhari became president. Now, what has happened to him and his rep on account of that emotive rendition he made on that night in 2015. We are not called to be "seers" |
Deprofessional:I have long seen him present to us (the world) a persona that is fake. And his smiles always seem to just sit on his face. I'm not Ibgo but have seen him (more frequently) in recent months on tv |
Esseite:idealogical On the contrary, I find the average Igbo person full of self-commendatory words, the meaning of which it seems he doesn't understand, as he happily pronounces virtues upon himself that are visibly (and well known to be) alien to him. |
Racoon:The orders must be traced all the way to the top. Can policement just deploy themselves unto such loud, visible and national stage acts like that? Policemen cannot just deploy themselves to do anything. It is their superiors that deploy them. |
chiommy123:There are things that are kept in the domain of man's power of decision. Adam could have said "If it is not God's will, Eve will not eat of the forbidden fruit". She ate it. Was it God's will. When she gave him, did it depend on God's (or his own God-given will) if he would eat it or not? |
If the impeached speaker of the Benue house of assembly, Terkimbi Ikyange, had been ordered by a court presided over by the state Chief Judge, Justice Adam Onum not to parade himself as speaker of the house as a result of the fact he had been impeached, then it is in line that contempt proceedings have been served on the former speaker for contempt of court on account of his actions of Monday morning (30th July, 2018). http://dailypost.ng/2018/07/30/benue-impeachment-drama-ikyange-okefe-others-face-contempt-court/ He currently is to appear in court to explain why an order for his committal to prison should not be made against him for his contempt, but the question really is... If he committed an act of criminality or illegality (which from every apparent occurrence he did) who aided and abetted him? The answer is not only clear but also visible in video evidence broadcast nationally on Channels TV and elsewhere: The Nigerian police. So is there any reason why they should not be with decisive determination sued to the fullest extent for the actions they took? Is that not the only way we can discipline them into being protectors of the law instead of the political thugs they are degenerating themselves into? Will that not lead to all of us finding out who gave the order(s) for those policemen to be deployed and to act as political thugs on that fateful morning and be party to that act void of any kind of dignity or honour? I rest my case.

Many feel Rtrd. Gen. IBB was not a bad man for many reasons. *Correction* Many feel Rtrd. Gen. IBB was We feel he was a sly man too. But with what is happening today, we now understand how and why it felt necessary to remove Gen. Buhari's administration by bloodless coup back then. Now in Nigeria, we feel a sense of urgency to rescue Nigeria from where it is one way or the other. A coup will not be good and is not on the table but I feel very sure a civilian coup is being plotted against Buhari by the same guys who mastered and understood the art of military coups. They are in the top hierrachy of the political chess game in Nigeria today, and have turned their backs against him. OBJ vs IBB in a chess game would have been a different thing/matter but with Obasanjo and his friends vs Buhari in a chess game, the game, I believe is over. |
