See as these two grown men wanted to fight each other on the road because of Buhari.

A man was being interviewed about the recent Onnoghen sack saga on the road by Roots.

The man said:

"The removal of CJN, whether he is there or not there, Nigeria will still remain Nigeria.

What Buhari has done for this country, no human being will ever do it. Buhari is a true light of this country.

How I wish we can get another 5 Buharis. One in the North, one in the South, one in the West, everywhere let's have more Buharis.

Somebody will be on the newspaper and be abusing someone's parents.

Where were you when Buhari was fighting to unite this country? Idiot.

At this juncture, the other man intervened. What happened next is quite between the two is quite hilarious..."

Later the man continued ...

"If you cannot Impregnate your wife it's Buhari, if you go to toilet to and you can't shit, it's Buhari, if you can't....."

Watch the very funny video and hot exchange HERE and see reactions.....

By Temidayo Akinsuyi

Prince Tony Momoh, a national leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC ) and former Minister of Information in this interview with TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI speaks on the controversy trailing the suspension of former Chief Justice of Nigeria(CJN), Walter Onnoghen and other issues. Excerpts:

As a lawyer and someone who has held a high public office, what is your perspective on the controversy trailing the suspension of the former CJN, Justice Walter Onnoghen?

It is not what I think but I know what the law says. Section 172 of the Constitution says that every public officer at federal level will abide by the provisions of the 5th Schedule. The 5th schedule is the Code of Conduct provision in the constitution. Then Section 209 says that every public servant at the state level will abide by the provisions of the 5th schedule. The first part of the 5th schedule creates the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). Part 2 states those who are subject to the Code of Conduct Bureau and the Code of Conduct Tribunal. The first on the list is the President and the Vice-President. Going down the line, you will see the Chief Justice of Nigeria and other judicial officers. Going down the line, you will see the President of the Code of Conduct Bureau and the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal. All public officers both at the state and federal level are subject to the provisions of the Code of Conduct . Before they take office, they swear to abide by the provisions of the Code of Conduct. Whether you are taking the office of President, Governor, National Assembly or Chairman of Local Government, all public officers at the state or federal level swear to abide by the Code of Conduct provision in the constitution. If you are taking office, the CCB will give you a form to fill declaring your assets. If you declare your assets, every four years, you renew that declaration. If anything turns up before the four years, you will revisit that declaration. If there is any problem about you declaring, they will ask you and then you react. If they think it is necessary, they refer you to the CCT.

What then are the functions of the CCT?

The CCT is not a court, it is a disciplinarian body that disciplines those who are working at both the federal and state level. So, technically, the CCT has no jurisdiction over those who are not public servants. Public servants are those listed under Part 2 of the Schedule, starting with the President down to the Councillor. It means therefore that you are not protected by the immunity which Section 308 of the Constitution grants to the President, Vice-President, Governors and Deputy Governors. There is however a proviso. The protection by immunity is during the period of office when they are performing the functions of office. No court can try these four persons during that period. But you can be investigated and when you are investigated, there are two bodies that will deal with you, that is the House of Assembly in the case of the governor and the National Assembly in the case of the President through a process called impeachment. Then the other body is the CCB and the CCT.

Your own functions are in Schedule 7 when you take the oath of office. Before you assume office, you take the oath of allegiance to the constitution of Nigeria and then the oath of office. The President, Vice-President, Governors and Deputies, Ministers and lawmakers all take the oath of allegiance where what they are supposed to do is spelt out. There is nowhere in that oath of office where it is said that you will be corrupt or be a money launderer. So, if you look at it, the immunity clause does not protect anyone who is corrupt because corruption or money laundering are not functions of an office.

If for instance, there is anything about filling the forms; it will go to the CCB and not any other person. That is the body that monitors the performance of your office irrespective of your position or the office you are holding.

Some are arguing that the CJN should have been made to appear before the National Judicial Council (NJC) and not the CCT. What is your take on that?

If there is anything wrong with your asset declaration, it will go to the CCT. You don’t take your case to NJC or any other body. The NJC is a disciplinary body for judicial officers and when you do anything wrong in the performance of your functions as a judicial officer, you go there. Anything that has to with criminal acts goes to either the High Court or CCT.

So, if I were the CJN, since I have agreed that there was something wrong in my filling of forms which calls my integrity to question, I will resign. I put all the blame on the CJN. As far as I am concerned, since he has accepted that there is irregularity in his filling of forms, let him save us all the trouble by resigning or stepping aside.

Do you think President Buhari breached the constitution by suspending him from office?

If you refuse to step down after you have admitted guilt, what do you think will happen? You think the whole world should be laughing at us that we have corrupt officers in our government? Someone should save us the embarrassment that Onnoghen’s remaining in office is causing us and that is what President Buhari has done by suspending him.

What is your take on the recent claim by former President Olusegun Obasanjo that President Buhari is behaving like a dictator and that he has perfected plans to rig the forthcoming presidential election?

Looking at Obasanjo, my own take is that he has established himself as the most present former head of state in the history of Nigeria. He is present and vocal in every regime. He was present during Shagari’s time, he was present during Buhari’s first coming between 1984 and 1985, he was present during Babangida’s era between 1985 and 1993, he was present during Abacha’s time from 1993 to 1998, he was present during Abdulsalami Abubakar’s time, he was present during his own regime when he worked with Atiku Abubakar, whom he said can never be anything but has now come to be his agent. He was present during Umaru Yar’Adua’s time, he was present during Jonathan’s time and he is also present now. So, there is no time he has not shown his presence at any regime and God has given him good health for him to be able to be active.

But looking at his records, he has shown to the average person that he is a loser and unfortunate nuisance. Obasanjo is national nuisance. To him, there is no other person apart from Obasanjo. He is very active but wants to continue to be in power when he is no longer in power.
https://www.independent.ng/buhari-saved-nigeria-from-embarrassment-by-suspending-onnoghen-tony-momoh/

Tony momoh an Apc stalwart as is typical with them is only been clever by half,the CCB act states clearly that where an individual admits mistake in filling the assets form,he should be invited for clarification n not to be referred to CCT automatically, secondly resignation when been accussed is purely an act of self honour it's never a law.The chair of CCT justice Danladi also has a corruption case against him but he hasn't resigned infact it's becoming clear that Apc has kept him just to executive hatched jobs for them, buhari is simply pursuing a predetermined agenda and those supporting him like mommoh are only taking a tigers ride,let them continue to celebrate while it last.

http://thenationonlineng.net/presidential-candidates-back-suspension-onnoghen/

Assuming without accepting that buhari was right to have suspended onnoghen without recourse to the NJC OR SENATE,was the ex parte order given by the CCT legal or genuine?, the CCT sat n adjourned on the 22/1/19,then on 23/1/19 the CCT purportedly issued an ex parte order,now who moved for the order?,was it argued in open court?,why did the order not bear the names of the lawyers who sought it as it's legally required?. which ever way one may look at what buhari has done, it's clearly wrong, fraudulent n dangerous,it should be condemned except if one chooses to be sentimental, onnoghen's case is already in court,let the law takes its course, buhari is clearly pursuing a predetermined objective n like senator shehu sani said, those of you supporting buhari for whatever sentimental reason are only taking a ride on a tiger.

disturbedman:
If this Bureau De Change Onnoghen and his PDP paymasters indeed are for Nigeria to prosper and do the right thing, this "forgetting" and "mistaking" judge will resign on the weight of allegations against him.

You say you don't have a private business and you don't have another side job, but you have millions of dollars, pounds and euros in your numerous accounts! And when you're asked to defend how you got the billions, you run like a headless chicken from one court to the other to stop your prosecution! To show you're guilty of the allegation, you suspend the JCN you head from sitting indefinitely!

If na me be Buhari, I go put you straight in jail. But e do well sha.


SenseWillNotKillMe

please can you tell me if there any law that requires anyone been accused to resign?,n if there is why has danladi of the CCT remained as the chairman?,no one is saying onoghen shouldn't be tried but let the law be followed,after all the CCB act itself states clearly that where someone has accepted a mistake in his/her assets declaration form,the matter should not be referred to the CCT immediately but the mistakes should be cleared, it's now clear that the ex parte order granted by danladi was fraudulently procured as no one moved for it,it was not argued in court n it doesn't bear the name of any lawyer who sought it!,so for God's sake on what basis other than hate n sentiments are you people supporting buhari over this very dangerous illegality?.

sometimes I wonder if osibanjo is truly a pastor,even if politics is dirty shouldn't a pastor make a difference,ok you call the opposition pdp thieves but you are willing to accept n celebrate the same thieves when they cross over to your party so what kind of a pastor are you?,Leah shuaibu is still in captivity because of her Christian faith osibanjo's voice has not been heard for her defense or release,but osibanjo is ever ready to lick the anus of buhari even where he is clearly wrong yet osibanjo pride himself as a pastor n proffessor of law, osibanjo's conduct in this government has defeated the essence of the insistence that buhari must have a Christian as a running mate.

For the throw back to be complete then the CJ would have to reinstated.

PearlStreet:
No one is even asking how Onnoghen got the suspicious funds in his account cos it's normal to steal when you're in Government.

Obi and the lunatics in PDP were comparing Nigeria to China.

If Onnoghen tried this kind of nonsense in China, he would have been beheaded in the presence of his grandchildren and family members.

In China the law would have been duely followed n when finally convicted, execution would have followed.

Gforce2019:
You got it wrong....
In addition to false declaration of assets .
There are lots of fraud allegations leveled against him.
Cjn position is a holy position ... person of questionable character is not permitted to occupy that office...

Meanwhile, it's just a suspension not a termination of duty

so which position is for crook persons n criminals are permitted to occupy?

deomelo:
Must the President do or demand what the citizenry should have demanded that the crooked, self-confessed and corrupt judge resing? Is this not what Nigerians should be demanding even before the president stepped in.


Nigerians totally ignored the lawless act committed by the disgraced CJ against them and their constitution, but they are going out of their way to kill the President for doing what they should have done.

Where is the sense and wisdom in allowing such corrupt, lawless and a lawbreaking character with unexplained millions of undeclared dollars in almost a dozen bank accounts remain in office?

We are so desensitized and used to corruption that it doesn't bother us, we even ignore corrupt public officials and instead fight and go after the people we actually pay to fight corruption.

If this is how we truly feel about corruption and criminal acts, then maybe we should just abolish all our law enforcement agencies and save the billions we budget on their behalf every year.

It's for those reasons that there are laws in the land,no matter how strong or right we may feel about out our sentiments if they are not recognize by law then we just have to keep them within us for the law to be effective n the goodness of the larger society, there is no law that says one who is accuse must resign if this were to be the case danladi should not be sitting on the panel of the CCT, now it's emerging that the so call ex parte order given by the CCT is neither genuine nor legal, something tells me osibanjo was sidelined in this dubious n dangerous plot by the cabal in the presidency thus laying credence to the suspicion of the pursuit of a hidden agenda,no one is saying onoghen should not be tried but simply let the law n it's process be duely followed,all true patroits should say no to what buhari has done.

amaechi1:
I stand with you. Nobody is talking about the substance of the matter anymore. The culprit and his gangs are working very hard to divert attention on the substance.The judiciary should cover their face in shame.

The law is clear about the supremacy of the Constitution,the CCT is a product of an act of the NASS n can not supercede the Constitution,the CCT lacks the power to give any such directives,you people know your tyrant buhari don't respect court orders so asking anyone to go to court against buhari is pure mischief,danladi that gave the so call order hasn't he a case of corruption against him?,why is he still there, the CJ case was already in court n despite all the delays of the process it's far better to respect it than results to illegality, but like sani said your type are only on a tigers ride so celebrates while it last.

A young lady who claims to be 23 years old, has taken to social media to reveal her displeasure following her conversation with a 35-year-old admirer who wooed her on Facebook.

The lady identified as Daniela Umebuani, shared her chats with the man online which show how he tried to win her as she berated him for insulting her and her mom after she rejected him.

The lady who said the man is too old for her - told him to get out of her sight after telling him to take his experience to his age range.

This angered the man who in return hurled insults at her and even her mother.

Internet users have reacted to the post, with most blaming the lady for being at fault and too harsh on the "old" man.

They said there are various ways she would have politely declined advances from the man without being rude.

See her conversation with the man below.

Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed has reacted to the suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Mohammed, in a media chat on Saturday, explained that from reading the President's statement on the suspension yesterday, Certain things were clear adding that the Chief Justice failed to declare 'millions of dollars in his possession' adding that the President suspended Onnoghen on the orders of a court of competent Jurisdiction.

PoliticsNGR has the footage. Watch HERE

https://politicsngr.com/watch-lai-mohammeds-reaction-cjn-onnoghens-suspension/

Does the CCT has the constitutional powers to order the president to suspend the CJ considering the same constitutional provision for removal of the CJ?,if the issue or standard is for any official been accuse to step down then why hasn't danladi himself steppwd down?,the law may not be perfect but it has to respected for the society to be orderly, buhari's position today is itself a product of law,those who are cheering buhari on should think twice, buhari could have investigated the CJ then forward the findings to the NJC n requested them to discipline him,he could have used even used the media as he has always done to exert pressure on the NJC.Now buhari can as well order the securities to ransack the NASS n people like lai,sagay,Tsav,keyamo etc will still hail him not minding the implications of such actions.

[quote author= post=75126681]Those who have left the substance of the matter, which is non-declaration of assets, to embark on a wild goose chase must know that they are part of the problems of this country.
Those cheering the CJN have been busy trying to depict the issue as executive interference in another arm of government.
They are failing to realise an important fact that those who have the privilege of holding exalted offices in trust for the rest of Nigerians should lead by example.

It was speculative for some commentators to think that the CJN was being targeted so that he could be removed and replaced with someone who will work in the interest of the government in the February elections.
The most important question should be whether the CJN broke the law or not in failing to declare his assets.

One major and incontrovertible fact which has emerged from the controversy over the CJN’s alleged failure to declare his assets is his own reported admission that he made a mistake by forgetting to declare a number of his assets.
The number one judicial officer is also reported to have expressed ignorance about the time space within which he should have made the declaration.”


We are not talking of a magistrate or a high court judge but a judge of the Supreme Court, who happens to be the number one judicial officer of the land; we must forget sentiments and look at facts.”

The posturing of some South-South governors in defence of the CJN should be treated as treason since they swore to protect and preserve the constitution.

There was a country![/quote]If onoghen broke the law then let the law follow it's course n not resulting to illegalities,the law may be slow,tedious n sometimes annoying but it has to be respected and if necessary reworked for a better society,what buhari has done is very dangerous n it's implications is unpredictable.

The judgment of the high court in gusau today

so how can this judgement in gusau be reconcile with that of a federal high court in Abuja today?,

seunmsg:
Our democracy is not in chaos. Corrupt and crooked politicians and judges are ones whose lives are in chaos. Onnoghen is a crook who has soiled his hands, he doesn’t deserve to continue in office. A crooked and partisan CJN is inimical to natural justice and fairness.

It is also important to note that the president suspended him based on a valid order of the CCT. If Onnoghen is not happy with the ruling of the CCT, he should simply appeal the ruling at the court of appeal. Till then, he remain suspended.

just listen to yourself,the same appeal court you are referring to gave a valid order stopping the CCT from continuing with the trial,the CCT has no legal authority by constitutional provision to give such directives or advice to the president,the chairman of the CCT himself has a corruption case against him,why hasn't buhari suspended him since?,you may think this is a joke n you are immuned but just pray ok,the law with all her imperfections is not made to suit just anyone or situation but to create orderliness n standards for an organized society,those of you cheering buhari on should remember a tommorow.

The matter hasn't gotten up to the appeal court

@POLITICSNGR

The suspension of the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Nkanu Onnoghen has elicited a lot of reactions from Nigerians today with many contesting that it was against the law and some others saying otherwise.

PoliticsNGR has now gone into the law books to examine what the constitution stipulates on the Removal of the Chief Justice of Nigeria. Surprisingly, the Law make no clear distinction between the removal and Suspension of the CJN as both terms have very different meanings.

We gathered that Section (292) of the Nigerian constitution expantiates on the removal of certain public officials including the CJN. However, there is no distinction between a suspension and permanent removal.

It States;

“A judicial officer shall not be removed from his office or appointment before his age of retirement except in the following circumstances;

(a) in the case of –

"Chief Justice of Nigeria, President of the Court of Appeal, Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Chief Judge of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Grand Kadi of the Sharia Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja and President, Customary Court of Appeal of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, by the President acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the Senate.”

(ii) Chief Judge of a State, Grand Kadi of a Sharia Court of Appeal or President of a Customary Court of Appeal of a State, by the Governor acting on an address supported by two-thirds majority of the House of Assembly of the State,

Praying that he be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct;

(b) in any case, other than those to which paragraph (a) of this subsection applies, by the President or, as the case may be, the Governor acting on the recommendation of the National Judicial Council that the judicial officer be so removed for his inability to discharge the functions of his office or appointment (whether arising from infirmity of mind or of body) or for misconduct or contravention of the Code of Conduct."

Thus, a serving Chief Justice of Nigeria can only be removed from office by the president after at least two-thirds majority members of the Senate declare support for the move, but in this case, it is a suspension.

https://politicsngr.com/law-stipulates-removal-chief-justice-nigeria/

The law is very clear, infact it made an emphasis by stating that ""except" followed by listing the conditions of which suspension is never included,what buhari has done is a clear act of illegality propelled by tyranny n pursuit of a hidden agenda.

NgeneUkwenu:
The state chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara state, Hon. Awali Liman Kaura, has expressed his joy and satisfaction over the victory of the faction of the party in the court.


Addressing newsmen at the Government House in Gusau, the Chairman stated that the victory was a victory for democracy and the party in general since the party won’t be losing out from contesting the general elections in 2019.

He said that now that the serious legal battle was over, the party would settle down to map out strategies on how to take back the state that belongs to the party.


According to him, there was no doubt that there are tough time ahead considering the friction in the party, noting that the dust was beginning to settle down.

He however denied that there were cracks on the walls of the party in the state.

The chairman appealed to all the aggrieved members to sheath their swords and work together to ensure perfect victory for the party in the general elections.

A constitutional lawyer, Mike Ozekhome (SAN) has described the suspension of Justice Walter Onnoghen as illegal and unconstitutional.

It's now that some of us will know whether the Southerners in this country with all their acclaimed education, sophistication n enlightenment are second class coward n selfish citizens or not.what buhari has done is not only a slap but a spot on the face of all sane Nigerians,the law is the law no matter it inadiquacies,the act establishing the CCB makes it clear that where a person admits a mistake in assets declaration such a person should not be referred to the CCT but be invited for further clarificatios,the chairman of the CCT danladi Umar himself has a corruption case against him for long but buhari has not suspended him for pursuit of this kind of agenda,the appeal court has just ordered the suspension of the CCT trial pending it's judgement within a few days,if not for the pursuit of a hidden agenda why the hurry n clear desperation to get rid of onoghen when it is clear that buhari's action is unconstitutional,from buhari's speech before swearing in tanko, buhari implied that it's only when the outcome of a judicial process favours his desire that Justice is done irrespective of available evidence n procedures of litigation,sagay,bakare n falana's views on this matter will be interesting,but I bet anyone while the northern lawyers n school of thought will turn logic on it's head to justify buhari's clear illegality the Southerners will be chewing their tongues, anyone who denies that there is no hidden agenda been pursued by buhari is either a pretensive but known beneficiary of such agenda or a complete fool.

What do you think Fashola is trying to tell Buhari in this picture?

Ngige always looking fetish n occultic.

CreepyBlackpool:
he was murdered!!!!


they probably slipped heart attack inducing drugs into his drink
or strangled him.

The fact that the room was locked and in order means the killer had access to his room, his drink and also someone who knows how to carefully arrange the room pretty neatly,

hence our suspect is a hotel staff!!

check the cctv to see if he walked into the hotel with a briefcase that looks like it'd contain cash.
If he did, then start arrests immediately, from the hotel manager to the gateman

Again,if the keys were not in the keyhole from the inside when the door was locked,then it means someone entered the room, carried out the murder,arranged the scene then exited n lock the room from out using a spare key.

SoupEmbassy:
Labaran Maku once again showed that he is still the most popular candidate among the three major contestants in the forth coming election. Here are pictures from yesterdays flag off in Lafia.

Former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, has again joined the Nasarawa State governorship race despite loosing to the incumbent Governor Almakura (APC) in 2015. Maku on the other hand assert that he won the election in 8 Local Governments, but it was manipulated in favour of Almakura by desperate influences.

Maku, who is the National Secretary of APGA, left the PDP where he served as commissioner, deputy governor and Minister to join APGA when he was rigged out of the primaries in favour of the least of all aspirants on ethnic and religious grounds. Maku ended in second place beating the PDP candidate with a very wide margin in the state during the 2015 general election. It is belived that it is his results that was swapped for Almakura.

Maku notwithstanding the outright robbery of his mandate in the polls and the tribunal is in the race again for 2019 and so far is the most popular candidate among the top three A.A. Sule (APC) David Ombugadu (PDP) and Labaran Maku (APGA)). Commentators are of the view that he may find it difficult to win because he is contesting in a political party that is not popular within the region. However, the wide support he is getting across the state shows otherwise.

Nasarawa is also known to be a very politically conscious state and looking at past trends where former Governor Doma was voted out in favour of Almakura in an unpopular party (CPC) despite being an incumbent in the ruling party while the same election returned a dominantly PDP House of Assembly shows that the vote was per candidate not party.

Random polls both online and offline shows Maku leading and closely followed by A.A. Sule. The PDP candidate is last of the three usually with about 20-25% of the votes. For Maku to win with a good margin, he will need to go into a coalition with the PDP to avoid the Osun kind of scenario.

Maku have a better chance because the APC candidate A.A. Sule is not widely accepted because he was imposed by the Governor. What might help him will be the ethnic and religion politics that has engulf Nigeria and the Northern states. His rejection is connected to the fact that he is originally from Bauchi state and not Nasarawa state. So far his marketers are trying so hard to convince the Mada people that he is their brother lol.

See pictures of his supporters in the rally as shared on his Twitter account >>> https://twitter.com/RealLabaranMaku/

One of the biggest mistakes Johnathan made was to listen to the stupid argument that only a Muslim could get victory for pdp in Adamawa n Nasarawa states n consequently denied James Ngilari n Mr labaran maku gubernatorial tickets respectively,the story would certainly have been different today.

Omooba77:
Gaidam town in Yobe state is currently under attack by suspected Boko Haram insurgents, our reporter learnt.
Residents in the town told Daily Trust on Wednesday evening that the attackers stormed the town around 5:30pm, and started shootings sporadically.

A resident said the insurgents took advantage of the Market Day to infiltrated the town.
“Although they forewarned residents of their coming days back so the military were not taken unaware,” he said.

He said that, already, two Nigerian Air Force jets have arrived the town to support the military strength.
He said that shootings are still ongoing as at the time of filing this report.
However, no statement has been released by the Army.
Details later…

Buhari has done a lot against Boko Haram,the people of the Northeast knows better so no cause for alarm, buhari is leading the fight from the front.

Nijanija:
Hello guys ,please I need an advice on how to deal with the above headlines .........so it is about my lady and I . We have been into a relationship for the past 6 months. Fast forward ;

I got to find out in the early part of our relationship that she use to have a long discussion on the phone with someone I do not know, each time I try to call her on phone. So I was forced to ask her if she has a man she's been friends with, she confessed to me that they have been dating for over 8 years and the relationships once hit the rocks due to the fact that the man refused to go see her parents.

So later in the month of January, she told me the man will be coming home to bury his mum along side her siblings. So the week she was to go meet the man in Lagos which was her usual practice each time he's coming home, we had a quarrel about her meeting with the man after she promised me it was over between them. So we ended up settling our differences and I agreed to let her go see the man.

Since over two weeks my lady has been with the man despite the man's wife threats to leave her husband alone. She is still with the man.

I want to know if such relationship is healthy for me . As I'm losing patient and focus to daily activities (She is stubborn and won't admit her fault)

With the way these campaigns are going, are you sure any other candidate can beat President Muhammadu Buhari?


Mu'awiyyah Muye shared this shocking video of PMB in Jos Plateau which was retweeted by Presidential aide, Tolu Ogunlesi.

He captioned the shocking video:

"MUST WATCH VIDEO: Damn. This jos Crowd is giving me goose bump. I mean, none of us expected Plateau will turn up like this. Indeed, the next crowd is always more than the last. We are competing with our own crowds but not with that of dead PDP. BUHARI IS AN ENIGMA!!"

Some Nigerians have been reacting to the video.

"This is one of reason OBJ is having heart attack against PMB having realised that come what may,February 16 is a done deal.OLORIBURUKU AGBAOSI,AGBA KATA,AGBAYA."

If with all that has happened in plateau state up to this moment n the plateau real indigines can turn up like this for buhari then they don't deserve any sympathy because they surely don't know what they want, but I seriously suspect that these crowd was imported from bauchi n nasarawa, please can a true son/daughter of berom,Angas or Tarok on this forum give a true picture of what actually happened!.

Bros, I watched the debate on Channels.

A lot of people were angry and dissapointed that both Buhari and Atiku did nto show. It showed on the chat..

APC already looks bad....we know that. But Atiku not showing also makes PDP too look bad as well.

You can vote for Atiku....but the fact is ,last night, a lot of people were angry and dissapointed in your candidate.

Oya make una cool temper n tune to the candidates on 30/1/19 shikena!.

What A Shame. Atiku Played Into APC
Hands by not appearing on debate
Atiku messed up. Atiku should have
realized that among the illiterates,
almajiris etc, he is no match to Buhari
who they almost see as a god. I sincerely
thought that he would have used the
opportunity of the presidential debate
to consolidate his hold among the
enlightened ones, but unfortunately, he
simply played into APC hands. What a
shame. I am totally disappointed in his
absence.

Atiku will be on the "candidates"programme on the 30/1/19 to market him herself,he didn't played into anybody's hand by boycotting the debate, this idea is just been propagated by Apc to save face knowing too well that they couldn't afford to allow buhari participate in the debate based on his clear emptiness.

The Zombies said to be blasting Atiku for not debating,who will they 'bom'b in this case?

Busari132:
The news of Atiku not willing to debate because of absence of Buhari was broken by Reno omokri on his twitter handle. Nigeria didn't find it funny and blasted Atiku and his handlers . see screenshot as shown below

Nigerians are not blasting Atku rather it's Zombies that are trying to save face,Atiku flew all the way back from America for the debate only for buhari to chicken out given nonsense excuse when the date for the debate has been known since, debate is meant to place all the candidates on same scale side by side n weigh them,the essence is lost when buhari the occupant of the seat at stake chicken out,each of the candidates has an opportunity to market their selves individually on the "candidates" Atiku will surely be there on the 30/1/2019.Buhari was there n he goofed badly even with the assistance of osibanjo he couldn't dare to debate without osibanjo at hand to chip in, perhaps the Zombies can go n bomb the organisers for not inviting some other candidates then,keep a date with ATIKU/OBI on the "candidates" on the 30/1/2019.

[quote author= post=74925883]livelymatilda22, you've said it all!!
Look at an opposition that has such a big opportunity, but since he knows he is only coming to steal and has nothing to offer, he backed odd sheepishly. 
CRIMINAL.[/quote]Atiku n obi will be on the "candidates" on the 30/1/19 to explain himself to nigerians, buhari went there n goofed.The debate was meant to place the candidates on the same scale n weigh them ,since buhari the occupant of the seat at stake chicken out Atiku rightly has to boycott the debate since the essence of it is lost n the "candidates" offers the opportunity for each candidate to market him/herself, it's clear buhari has got nothing to offer this country,he is only been propelled n sustain by sentiments, propaganda, fundamentalism,deciet,bigotism n lies.
