Who do we offend in this country that is refusing to forgive us.?

Yet some idiots will be blaming Buhari for approving rail line passing through his home town.

Must everyone be clueless like GEJ?

THE leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), led by Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, on Wednesday, held a meeting with governors on the party platform and leadership of the National Assembly.

Majority of the governors stayed away.

None of the governors from the South-West was in attendance at the meeting.

The Ondo State governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, was represented by his deputy, Honourable Agboola Ajayi.

In attendance were seven governors and four deputy governors.

The list of those in attendance included Imo State governor and chairman of the APC Governors’ Forum, Rochas Okorocha; his Kaduna State counterpart, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai and Bauchi State governor, Mohammed Abubakar.

Others were Governors Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi), Simon Lalong (Plateau), Godwin Obaseki (Edo) and Abdullahi Jibrilla Bindow (Adamawa), as well as the deputy governors of Ondo, Kano, Kogi and Nasarawa states.

Speaking with newsmen at the end of the meeting, Governor Abubakar of Bauchi State, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, said the governors were busy with the day-to-day administration of their states.

“There is no communication gap. Two other deputy governors sent words that their flights were cancelled because of weather problem.

“The same thing applied to the governor of Sokoto State who sent words that his flight was cancelled due to difficulty in weather.

“So, there is no communication gap whatsoever. In the past, the governors have been attending. Governors are very busy and it is always very difficult for us to have time to be on the field in addition to running our states,” he said.

When asked by reporters for the governors’ position on recent remarks by former interim chairman of the party, Bisi Akande, that the APC 2019 presidential ticket was open to all aspirants, Governor Abubakar said it was not discussed at the meeting.

“This meeting has not deliberated on that but the APC has a constitution and that is one of the items that was discussed. We talked on the amendment of the constitution of the APC. We will abide by the provision of our constitution,” he said.

The Bauchi governor further revealed that the meeting also ratified October 31 date earlier chosen by the National Working Committee for the conduct of its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.

The party, in its first official response to the statement attributed to the President of the World Bank, Jim Young Kim, said President Muhammadu Buhari only made case for the North-east as a result of the devastation the zone suffered from attacks by the terror group, Boko Haram.

The party’s national publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, assured

Nigerians that President Buhari had no preference for any region or geopolitical zone in the country.

“You will recall that a few days ago, there was an issue in the media that President Muhammadu Buhari had asked the World Bank to focus attention on the North of Nigeria.

“The issue came up for discussion and the entire meeting threw its weight behind the president’s position and we will like to clarify in addition to everything that has been said that the import of his statement to the World Bank is in recognition of the particular devastation that Boko Haram has caused in the North-East of Nigeria.

“Therefore, when President Buhari was asking the World Bank to focus attention on the development of the North-East, he had in mind the necessary reconstruction that needed to happen in that part of the country, especially in the Borno, Yobe and Adamawa axes that have suffered specifically because of the Boko Haram activities.

“It was not a statement meant to bifurcate the country or give special preference to any section of the country against the other. “So, the APC throws its weight completely behind the president’s decision and we believe that as long as the North-East of Nigeria continue to suffer the devastation that it has suffered, and continue to represent a very dark spot in human development indices for Nigeria, there is a need to direct special attention to that part of the country,” he said.

They are obviously sad.. .

EponOjuku:
Mention one African leader indicated in the Hague.

They would kill millions of you again and nothing would happen. Keep typing nonsense on Nairaland.

hmabdool:
No shaking, our gallant military will rain bullets on any warring Ipork terrorist

omenka:
Crates are meant for animals not deserving of human dignity. Kanu is a sadistic animal, and so was Dikko. When they've had enough of his folly, they'd put him to sleep right there on their own turf.

People


(2)We will build second Niger bridge very soon, 28 months after we are still hearing the same story. To build second Niger Bridge is not a priority , You don't build expensive contracts when the country is in recession

Yyeske:
This your VAT wahala sef, how many barrels of crude oil is your village producing? Don't derail this thread, answer my earlier question and stop your alcohol and VAT wahala. I guess you had a hangover after last night's groove and that is why you can't answer a simple question except talking of alcohol upandan

Yyeske:
You are beating about the bush, do you have a job and is VAT the only source of the FG's income. I know you've never paid any form of tax except the VAT on the free bottles your hard working friends buy for you and that is why you have been hyping on alcohol. I can get you cartons of it, your brand and location

Yyeske:
The SE can buy from across the border but ask yourself why they've not been doing that since after all Cameroon is closer than Kano and Katsina? It is because it is cheaper from the north, so don't complain when things become more expensive.
What happens to the profit margin of our traders and industrialists since they don't sell only to the people of the south, I sincerely hope you can cover that loss for them.
VAT will still be collected since the SE is still in Nigeria so don't get it twisted

ProWalker:
Unless you are saying you are not different from the almajiris in the north

Yyeske:
It is either you don't live in the SE, jobless or both. Have you actually thought well of the implication of this action if true? Not everything is about ground standing and forming superhero, do you know about the effects on the economy of the SE if true anyway.
Traders who come to Onitsha and Aba from the north will now divert to Lagos and other parts of Nigeria, they could even decide to sell their excess farm produce they bring down the SE over the border. Why can't you guys reason for once

omenka:
Take a bullhorn, stand on the rooftop of your grand father's house and shout it loud so everyone in that enclave would hear: "omenka doesn't give a shiit and never would".

You people preach hate, practice hate and propagate hate, and then turn around, quite amazingly, to demand and expect love and affection in return. How pathetic!

You get what you give, get used to that.


No goods would be going from the North to the SE. Deal with that.

ProWalker:
So all those destruction and searching for Northerners in buses and burning trucks are just show of love ?
Nonsense

tolufase:
You must be disappointed because the so called leaders in that region were so helpless. But thank God, the operation phyton dance had restored their factory setting.

Daviddson:
Did and do you believe that?

Daviddson:
The 'war' didn't last up to a week but it has claimed several lives. Would you have believed that the Nigerian govt had the guts to take out Kanu or arrest him (which ever) without an order of the court?

Alikote:
