boko haram have been killing scores of people but the Nigerian air force didn't bomb them
"On the orders of the Chief of Air
Staff, Air Vice Marshall Adesola
Amosu, the creeks of Calabar
were bombed yesterday, Daily
Trust gathered."
it seems they want to start another civil war. the boko haram boys are too precious for their baba to kill but he knows how to hold security meeting and ask them to bomb the creeks. what they are looking for the will get it both the north and south west. They have started the fire and it will burn them so much this time.

We thank Lie Mohammed and APC for taking political lies and propaganda to the next level in Nigeria.

nerodenero:
I doubt this story but if true, arrogant Bukola Saraki WILL NEVER do that. An apology to his party for his Judas' way is appropriate but for him to single out Tinubu for apology, I doubt that will ever happen. Again, this tori na fake jo o.

Alphaoscar:
There is actually a grand plot by some loosers to bastardize the name of Tinubu and there aim is to kill his political profile as a revenge for his contribution to the defeat of PDP.


God will definitely shame all his enemies and they will be rendered useless and unsuccessful in their undertakings.

doctokwus:
Vanguard has never been a credible source of news.
To what purpose would a newspaper apology serve and how would it be addressed:"we apologize for going against the national leader" etc and that's that?
This is another poorly concocted lie that vanguard and some online news media have been known for of recent.
Maybe due to the social and online news media and the need to publish news items in record time,some mainstream media no longer conduct any form of investigation and verification before rushing to press.

Alphaoscar:
All this stupid bloggers carrying unverified news should leave Tinubu alone and allow him to enjoy his life. They have been spreading all manners of unverified news on Tinubu and APC.

Although some chieftains of the All Progressives Congress, APC have initiated moves to reconcile the aggrieved camps and bring back peace in the party, its national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is not yielding to it until his conditions are met.

Vanguard exclusively gathered yesterday that Tinubu who felt greatly slighted by the elections of Senator Bukola Saraki and Rep. Yakubu Dogara as the senate president and the Speaker, House of Representatives respectively against the party’s official candidates, Senator Ahmed Lawan and Femi Gbajabimila had said of what can assuage his anger and that of the party.

A competent party source told Vanguard in Abuja that principal among the conditions is that both Saraki and Dogara must tender and publish a full page apology publicly using the national dailies.

To this end, the source hinted that an extended meeting of the national leaders of the party with APC governors involved had been slated for next week.

The meeting, it was learnt, would hold either Monday or Tuesday.

“You don’t joke with the man (Tinubu). He said they must make a public apology to him using the newspapers. A meeting that will involve all APC governors has been scheduled to hold either on Monday or Tuesday. Wait and see what will happen. They have to do it”, the source said.
It was not ascertained whether president Mohmmadu Buhari would be at the meeting but Saraki and Dogara are expected to be at the meeting.
It will be recalled that after the National Assembly leadership that brought Saraki and Dogara as the new leaders of the 8th assembly, tempers have continued to flare up in the party.

Upon their elections on June 9, APC immediately issued a statement where it declared the outcome of the elections unacceptable and also threatened sanctions for the new leaders.

The threat however divided the party with some of the national leaders frowning at the decision.
One of the them was the deputy national publicity secretary, comrade Timi Frank who also called for the resignation of the party’s national chairman, chief John Oyegun on the grounds of his failure to harmonize the variegated interests that later cost the party the office of the Deputy Senate President, DSP.

According to Frank, Oyegun compromised to have agreed to conduct the mock election that threw up Lawan and Gbajabimila as official candidates of the party.

Meanwhile, national chairman of the party, Oyegun has assured Nigerians that peace was underway in the party.

Rising from the meeting of the National Working Committee, NWC which held at party’s national secretariat in Abuja yesterday, the chairman said that the party had reached out to all aggrieved parties, stressing that Nigerians would see a united APC by next week.

He also marshalled out defence for the party’s national publicity secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed who he said had been misunderstood in some quarters while discharging his responsibilities.

OrlandoOwoh:
Rubbish! Nobody knew you were not around, thanks to your oga's loss on March 28. Go and live with the reality.

God bless the President.

NDPVF:
[s][/s]Yes of course,because he is contesting against Bisi Akande,your fellow Yoruba,and because he has been dishing Tinubu with the hardest blow of political irrelevance lately.LWKD.
Anyway,your opinion here is grossly inconsequential,and your cheap blackmail,laughable,as it ends here.

sweatlana:
Lol Buhari supported saraki!

That's the plan truth.

Why on earth will Buhari allow tinubu to control the Senate?

Sahara reporters you can do better than this

Lushcream:
There is no need to do further research , you are the one full of insinuations .... I don't hate Tinubu , he is the man that eject professionalism into Nigerian Political landscape but if Tinubu is preaching change .... the people of Nigeria need to ascertain whether Tinubu wanted to change Nigeria ni or he wanted to just change PDP.

Tinubu can't force candidates on the NASS the way PDP used to do and be preaching change ..........

The fact was :

APC members nominated Ali Ndume and they all voted for him while PDP members nominated Ekweremadu as PDP members were more on the floor, they voted Ekweremadu and he emerged the winner.

If all APC members were to converge at the ICC, the PDP members would have formed a quorum which requires just 38 members out of 49 PDP members and David Mark would have been elected unopposed ..... it is just a convention that the party with the majority members become the SP, it is not backed by the Constitution.

Buhari has abided by rule of law to allow NASS chose their leaders without interference as constitutionally required but Tinubu wanted to force candidates on the house .....

The Constitution state that NASS members should elect their principal leaders from among themselves and Buhari has complied , there is no section which provided for Tinubu or APC as a party to nominate consensus candidate for the NASS .....

why can't Tinubu and other APC leaders come out and explicitly make it clear that ty are not going to interfere in the leadership election of the NASS as Buhari did.

You can't preach change and stand to do it same way as being done before.

Yes why not Pmb will support you but remember Pmb will also probe Gej administration and all his past ministers including you Mr gov.

barcanista:
It is shameful that someone of a Former Governor status from a rich state is using fronts to beg for appointment. I have NEVER heard of Any Former Governor whether North or South beg for appointment. Tinubu will not beg for appointment (he isn't even interested), Chimaroke Nnamani never begged for appointment, same with Sam Egwu, Oduagan, Fayemi, Peter Obi, Kwankwaso etc.

Amaechi just created a World Record for himself...

THE Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, has said that contrary to the claims by the immediate past administration that it left N7bn in the state coffers, he met an empty treasury.

Wike explained that the treasury where the monthly Federal Allocation accruing to the state was always kept had remained in debit as at May 29 when he (governor) took over the reins of governance in the state.

The governor made this remark on Thursday at the Government House in Port Harcourt during the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the state government and officials of Julius Berger and a Chinese Construction firm, CCECC, for the rehabilitation of 33 kilometres of township roads in the state capital.

He stated that from the brief he received from the state Accountant General after his inauguration, only one revenue account with Sterling Bank had some funds left by the immediate past administration.

Wike said, “I want to say on good authority that we did not meet any N7bn, as being speculated. The state’s FAAC account as at May 29 (2015) was in debit. That was the briefing I received from the Accountant-General.”

Signing the MoU with the two construction giants, Wike explained that the step was to realise his administration zero potholes programme launched on May 29, 2015.

According to the governor, while Julius Berger is to handle the rehabilitation of 11 kilometres of township roads alongside street lights and traffic lights, the CCECC will handle 20 kilometres of township roads in Port Harcourt.

He explained that the state government had resolved to work with the construction giants to rebuild road infrastructure in the state capital. He added that the revival of facilities in the state capital was beyond political consideration.

Wike noted that the funds for the ‘Operation Zero Potholes’ had been set aside, hence the signing of the MoU to ensure that the companies concluded work in 120 days.

He, however, promised to personally monitor the execution of the projects by the construction giants.

Wike explained that his administration had resolved to take the N10bn loan with specific focus on key projects to be implemented, noting that the request to the state House of Assembly was accompanied by all the projects to be executed.

How on earth can this be true of a man who has done everything in his power to ensure President Buharis nomination for the President and his victory over the PDP...why bother if he had a such useless plan.. Does it seem logical to plan a merger succeed at it only to plan to scuttle it in the end ....your statements are unfounded , irresponsible and without fact .......Even Sen Lawan was not Tinubus choice for Senate President but Sen Lawan had the party support and so did Gbajabiamila ...why should Tinubu depart from the Party's choice to support another individual who decides not to tow the party line.....please youth forum members do not start to steer up muck in order to do some haters bidding ...this democracy will survive so you better tow a positive line stay in support of APC and this new government of national reconciliation, reconstruction, correctional and transparent. Never in the history of this nation have we had a President that has the support of the whole country East West North South Buhari is best Buhari is here to stay and he has the whole weight of the APC united behind him ....sai Buhari
