I was already thinking the PDP rigging machinery will carry the day based on earlier results. As a matter of fact, I was busy analyzing what this portends for the Ibo and the likely ministerial portfolio Okorocha will occupy should there be a new government.
It is good to hear that Okorocha is leading at least a voice for this zone at the center

ozoigbondu:


You guys dashed them a massive 13 votes

Mr, zero vote will be suspicious .Election rigging is a professional job
There were no elections in Rivers and Abia, intimidations and ballot box snatching
I dare say, the thugs modus operands is more like military men. This happened on the 28th Mar, including underaged voters in the North, noting was done to correct the anomalies

We've got a long way to go as far as credible polls are concerned.

Okorosha should start lobbying for a Ministerial seat under Buhari led FG. The die is cast, PDP rigging machine became insurmountable for APC. It appears SE and SS states want to play complete opposition in the coming administration
Nigeria has a long way to go as far as free and credible elections are concerned

I don't see anything wrong in Obiano moving to a new party. I said it times without number on this forum that the only person who had a pact with Ojukwu is Mr Peter Obi and unfortunately, he failed to build APGA especially his reluctance to conduct LG elections all along.
Obiano joining a bigger party will kind of be protective for him and being a Governor makes him automatically the leader of whichever party he wants to join in the State . However, if he fails to secure upto 80% of the State Assembly for APGA on the 11th then he should not have a second thought in joining a bigger party. Should PDP get hold of the whole state Assembly and Obiano is not in PDP, their primary project will be to IMPEACH him. He can't build APGA, it is a project destined to fail, it is not his fault.
But then his contemplating APC membership is not bad, it will benefit the State more, I think it is too early for that afterall he is not contesting any election till 2018. If I were in his shoe I will enter PDP for now that will give me the right footing to ward of aggressors and because I will be better placed being the Governor with both the money and the clout meanwhile, remain committed to delivering quality projects to win the goodwill of the masses

Gamechanger:

My friend, not finding a candidates name in the voters register is not enough to cancel an election. There is the doctrine of substantial compliance. And once it is shown that the election substantially complies with the electoral act, the election will be sanctioned by the court.
This is moreso when Nwoye and Ngige were seeking the cancellation of the entire election. Cancellation of elections is not done for just any flimsy reason because it is based mainly on proof of criminal allegations beyond reasonable doubts which is usually difficult and of public policy issues (such like the expenditure that goes into the conduct of elections) see Eze vs Okolagu, Buhari vs Yar Adua, Akeredolu vs Mimiko, Chime vs Ezea etc
This is quite different from the instant case where results collated were rewritten and different scores awarded to the candidates different from what was obtained at the polling stations.
The APGA candidates will of course not seek the cancellation of the entire election ( which is more difficult) but will seek the subtraction of the unlawful votes credited to the other candidate and for the court to declare him the winner afterwards. See Peter Obi vs INEC, Mimiko vs INEC, Aregbesola vs Oyinlola, Oshiomhole vs INEC.

Right, I am not a lawyer and will not like to be one in a country like 9ja . I don't think APGA will get much from going to court, the evidence will be elusive to obtain and our judges are specialist electoral 'case dismissals' for reasons best known to them
Where I think APGA should focus on is the State Assembly elections. They should sit down and put their acts together, getting 100% of the seats is achievable and that will be in the best interest of the state for now.
One way to checkmate politicians who will give orders to the security agencies in the President's name concerning aiding malpractices is to befriend SGF, Sen Anyim even if it is for these 8 days. When that is out of the way, their efforts at campaigning and the Willie is Working will reflect in the election results

asha80:
if care is not taken the relative political peace anambra has been experiencing might be shattered by all these political bruhaha and I am not sure if obiano is strong enough to withstand it

If actually Obiano wrote that address, then he has not fully understood the politics of Anambra. I mean which court was he expecting to overturn the fact that PDP won. The election that brought him to power was bad enough that even a candidate (Nwoye) had his name removed from the voters register 2weeks to that election. Or was the INEC crooks who shared N60 million just to frustrate Idemili North voters not enough evidence
Did any Court annul the elections?

They really do not want Buhari, as a matter of fact, any successful move to stop the handover will be considered heroic by them. Don't be surprised when you learn that CAN will be giving the impetus with talks like "Buhari is not God's Choice, save Nigeria "

Trusting in any assurance from President Jonathan is not the solution. GEJ is still confused at the moment and may remain that way till the PDP top guys make the final decision on whether to give a final push on frustrating the handover or not. The guys who give the others use the President's name even when he is not aware of it. They wouldn't mind making the call directly from the President's private line
Let's not forget they are still in power and in near absolute control of the apparatus of Government be it police or military. However, one language the rigging agents understand is how much card do you place on the table. They will be able to disobey directives from the oga who gives very little and issues more orders as against the oga who displays more card. I think Obiano should pay Anyim a visit, going with gentlemen who are good negotiators, the earlier the better. Make a conclusive deal between now and the 11th after all Anyim does not really like Obi or his friends

Even a 50-50 situation in Anambra State House of Assembly will not favour Obiano or the State Government . I personally do not think Buhari will care less about the APGA-PDP battle when the chips are down

It was expected. Also expect the numbers to increase( defections) not many politicians like to be in the opposition

Zonacom:
From the look of things, Buhari might be declared winner. If that happens, then the southeast would probably go back to the days of serious marginalisation. Its evident that the southeast voted for Gej morethan every other zone. An APC govt at the centre would probably punish us for that. Anambra is likely going to be the greatest casualty. The oil wells at Aguleri is likely going to Kogi state.

You are very right. Most Anambra billionaires were made by... except Buhari is becomes a changed man or the handover does not materialize

The only draw back to the punitive hands is that we have some reps in APC Okorocha, Ngige, Izunaso and co. who were steadfast with the Party

FreeGlobe:
Well, the only 'positive' angle to this Jonathan loss is that Peter obi the schemer lost too

He is not yet done with scheming. In fact, the scheming has just began. If that fails he will join team Bode George on exile
And will possibly be forced to handover his loot to the Anambra. I can assure you that amount will hasten the development of the State
I hope APGA has learnt some lessons with the outcome of Senatorial elections. They can still capture the State Assembly seats by doing the basic things. And that is more important to forestall the activities of schemers

I've believed Nigeria was ripe for a change, an alternative to GEJ. Even if GEJ is willing to handover his office, PDP is not and will not handover to Buhari. The reason is simple, all the former governors, PDP officials who had stolen upto half of all revenues that had accrued to their states had found solace and pardon in the arms of PDP either as advisers or as sympathizers. In addition, some of them have been working towards a ministerial slot
I am sure they will not rush into self exile at this point without giving a fight to ensuring Buhari does not ascend to the throne. They will not handover their loots just like that and so they must re-strategize to frustrate any handover to Buhari from taking place. The fear of what Buhari could do to them is the instigating factor

So between now and May, a lot of things are expected with the legal technicalities being the least in the disqualification plans, there could also be plans of elimination and substitution
It is not yet uhuru for APC or Gen Buhari. The likelihood of a handover is very slim, some other persons may say it is non-existent
I wish Nigeria the best and the looters disengaged from continued stealing which was the Hallmark of GEJ's 4 years

superstar3:


Yes ooo. No politician have ever survive having a feud with Fr Mbaka. Jona should hv asked Ohakim how far.

Really

All the debaters did well in presenting their points. Although, this does not appear to be a debate
I am particularly impressed with the submissions of Chief Martins Onovo, I would have GEJ find a portfolio for him in the next administration
GEJ was very composed and acted maturely. Atimes he was seen jotting the points made by the other participants. He was not at anytime caught with rebuttals and menacing retortions about the low performace of his administration in some areas
Where is APC and Gen Buhari? Their loss at the polls is certain

OdenigboAroli:


No,he is not towing any Chime's part because they belong to two different class. Chime goal is to beautify Enugu capital and nothing more. So, keep your Chime where he belongs. In a million years Chime will never be measured up to Obiano. In fact,no Nigerian governor is in Obiano level....The man is million years ahead of all Nigerian governors including Akpabio,Fashola and the rest of the over hyped fools you lots call governors.

Don't you think there is something the young man you quoted knows that you don't know

I don't expect you to understand that Chime did more than beautifying Enugu. You will not understand the wisdom in prioritizing the needs of the people, the urgency required in addressing the scaled needs as against the resources available. Chime excelled in that, Obiano is doing likewise. Btw Obiano is just starting, my desire is to see him maintain or increase the tempo
Akpabio, BRF and the rests look smarter than your lord(Peter Obi) whom you claimed laid down his life for Anambra. Take the picture of your lord and tell me what he looks like

thoth:
@ Blitz888
I won't tell you much about that, but just know that he has the whole corrupt APGA on their knees, Had he taken Peter Obi to EFCC he would have been finished by now.

To come to Equity is one thing, to come with clean hands is another
He does not need to take anybody to EFCC if that commission has been doing its job. He too would be invited to help in the investigations. The truth be told GEJ is not ready to fight corruption maybe he will if given another term at the Aso Rock

One reason why I will rate Obiano on the class of Gov. Chime of Enugu is setting his vision straight and prioritizing them accordingly. He has left no one in doubt that he is a Leader, an intelligent one for that

Madam Bianca was just campaigning for APGA she was short of calling a spade, a spade. I don't expect her to cast aspersions on the credibility of APGA against the backdrop of the clear differences between the past administration and the present. Be that as it may, she is beginning to manifest some leadership qualities which hitherto was overshadowed by that of the late People's General.

ckenneths:
Imagine the thickness of the road. ....

The quality of that road is something else. Arab Contractors are gradually becoming a name for quality. However, they are slow like Snail

Whynotthetruth:

Thanks for being somewhat objective... There some misgivings in between your submissions but I won't go deeper again... At least you confirmed against Peppyluv post that Obi raised the stake to 18k...from there every other level is worked out...
Also as against FreeGlobe post that Obi is a failure in anambra; you also vindicated me...thanks

It is either you are slow to comprehension or you are just being mischievous. Nobody vindicated you

Do you know that Anambra had the least State Workforce in the South East almost till Obi's late days in office when he lifted his embargo on employment and therefore could have afforded the actual minimum wage that is in addition to the revenues and allocations that came to the State under him?
The man you quoted did not say Obi paid minimum wage. Your jesus did not pay minimum wage what he did was very clever, he paid level 1 step 1 N18,000 and added next to nothing to other grade levels. Then, he quickly went to the press to announce that he was paying minimum wage and the first to do so
While he pocketed the equivalent of the IGR he felt like returning as his Security vote. In otherwords, all the IGR(declared plus the undeclared ) went straight to his pockets. Afterall Rochas forfeited his security vote

Whynotthetruth:



Sure If I am iamodenigboaroli bulldog...You are freeglobe buttlicker..ashawo...using me to curry favour...

Why not provide evidence of the looted IGR
If Obi underperformed why not pick out any of the points I listed above in his achievements which is a lie...useless he goat...

Odenigbo why are you working up yourself and getting high fever. Okay, Obi is the Best and a Saint on the corridors of politics. Are you Okay now?
Happy Sunday

FreeGlobe:

Next Mall in Abuja, Sabmiller breweries etc. You are the person that need a conscience.

That guy is the same as Odenigboaroli Obi's bulldog. He will never accept that his master and jesus, Peter Obi under performed judging by the projected revenue of those years. He went as far as pocketing a large part of the IGR while declaring only N500 million
Those were the time when crude oil was averaging $100 a bpd and benchmark was $76. He got billions in ecological funds, the refunds of Federal roads built by Ngige, billions in total from donor agencies
The man is simply a grand thief

ozoigbondu:

Which infrastrucral development the only thing in the new site is
Three completed hostels that though was rented we were kicked out saying it was incomplete
One faculty of agriculture
ICT center
Tarred roads
A huge statue of ojukwu

What were you expecting to see? Projects that will justify the donation. Mind you Obi also claimed to have spent billions to get course accreditations but on a closer look full accreditations which can only justify the amount he claimed to have spent were not there

The N5b donation was ladden with falsehood, the money that eventually got to the School was not upto a billion. Do not blame the VC, he was forced to acknowledge what he did not receive. That was wicked and Criminal

Peppyluv:
I schooled in Anambra too,I'm not a visitor and my parents live there. Obi may have tried but his best was not as he claims.

I didn't want to talk about Peter Obi but since he has been mentioned in this thread and some are not sure who he was.
The man Obi is greed personified, a slimy Crook and a propagandists. He understood the relationship between Church and Politics, and played along with the politicians on Priestly robes to wipe the sentiments of the massess

Let me shock you, somebody told me recently that even at the Presidency and PDP, the knew him to be slimy, cunning and lacking integrity are watching him carefully. Nobody was sure of his contributions to the GEJ campaign even as Deputy DG. The stakeholders didn't want him in the first place but for GEJ insistence on having employed
As for Anambra State, before anybody begins to rate him, one should painstakingly calculate the amount of money that came to the State under him and at a time when Oil price was averaging $100 per barrel

I didn't know many people agreed with the fact that Chime is the best Governor in the SE.
Obiano is working and he is focused, I hope he sustains the vision does away with Obi's talkative government. I wished that he stopped printing his face on Ankra worn by his Aides
Okorocha started well and was so much in a hurry to fix the dilapidations he met in Imo State that he forgot to be prudent in managing the State account. He also is wasting the State's money on Buhari project
Elechi should come before TA Orji

iamodenigbo1:
The roads are bad QED

There are things one should not wait for FG before it's done. Successive State Governors of Anambra and Enugu had come and gone without prioritizing that road. If were the Governor, I will not hesitate to fix that road because of its importance, little by little, maybe do it in 3 sections over 2-3 years. And use our good relationship with the President to get a refund which is within his fiat on the Ministry of Works budget use

spyder880:
We are frustrated by the conditions of the road.

The road is bad, you can take the old road which is very good just that it is longer and single lane
Even the old is available all the way to Limca junction Nkpor /Onitsha. From Enugu to Onisha the Express is best avoided

GEJ cannot make an appearance in court, he enjoys immunity
Secondly, no Nigerian Judge can disqualify a sitting President with the way Nigerian Judiciary operates
Justice Ayo Salami tried no to take orders from above and was shown the way out
APC should stop wasting its time, GMB will not be President of Nigeria. The worst that will happen is GEJ stepping aside but before then he could give 6-9month extension of his government using the war in the North East as the perfect excuse.

PerfectlyPerfect:
if only there was a way to disqualify both GEJ and buhari.
that's the only solution to all these issues

Seconded. Both are bent on causing Kata kata but of the duo I will vote Jona. Since Jona became President Buhari and his group has not allowed him the peace needed to lead the country. Why must it always be Buhari

Buhari is on mission Impossible. He should gear up for more persecutions ahead

Mr Collins Nwafor, at 39 playing with sugar mummy. Is he not old enough to have a wife?

repogirl:
Aaaah aaaaahn? Only one woman, bisexual, drugs, adultress, trafficking, pimping, cultist.....only one woman? She musta been one badass mama jammer!
The guy paints the woman so horrid, its too much for one person na! Somethings are most definitely not adding up!

He wasn't painting, most sugar mama are involved in all those vices and much more
Her HUSBAND is the prime suspect, probably a member of some no nonsense club. With that woman's beauty, it is possible she equally had some high profile clients Oga Police of the ranks of CP or AIGs who will cooperate with Club Chiefs to ensure the weakling in the chain is taken down If not, why hasn't the Husband been in detention and under interrogation. With a little torture he will say the truth and help the police in the investigation
Things dey happen for Lasgidi

Pennywise:
The husband alleged Collins and his late wife had plans to liquidate his assets and move to Canada. At what point did he know and what did he do about it?

Think of this carefully, you will know the police should search no further, the Husband is the prime Suspect he will mention his collaborators when quizzed properly

nanizle:
This is embarrassing..

A world leader going around kneeling for pastors.

Our president has no class.

What a pity.

It is called campaign.
After the elections he will not be pictured kneeling before anybody
But what's your grouse, Christians kneel to pray and GEJ goes to Church
