Tinubu’s present travail is traced allegations made by the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) on October 17, 2007. The bureau had listed him among 15 former governors that breached its code on asset declaration.

The other former governors are Dr. Sam Egwu (Ebonyi State), Chief Achike Udenwa (Imo), Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu), Ahmed Makarfi (Kaduna) Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto), Adamu Aliero (Kebbi), Gbenga Daniel (Ogun), Olagunsoye Oyinlola (Osun), Boni Haruna (Adamawa), Ayo Fayose (Ekiti), Lucky Igbinedion (Edo), and James Ibori (Delta).

Tinubu is the first of the affected former state chief executives to be arraigned before the tribunal by the bureau.

Since the tribunal summoned Tinubu, the case has generated a lot of controversy in the polity. His appearance yesterday split politicians into opposing camps on the rationale or otherwise of reopening the case.

While some said that the trial was a politically motivated because Tinubu caused the ruling PDP much pains, others said President Goodluck Jonathan had just kick-started his war against corruption, choosing the “untouchables” as his starting point.

That reason above to me is so stupid If true, why didnt The Retardeen start from his own Party and secondly what has he been doing before now. Hopefully, other cases will be re-juvenated after this or even alongside this to suggest to all that this isnt politically motivated.
The PDP to me is simply digging itself the more into the bottomless pit. Believe me, if Tinubu comes out of this (i know he will), he will definately be more famous and attractive all to the early death of PDP no doubt.

I see no humiliation here yet.

Na today inflation rate dey go up and down? abegiii make we hear word jare. We are simply tired of paper achievements. Right now, we we only believe what we can see and feel. Below is my earlier response:

Demdem:
Honestly, too much grammar from the President.
Rice, beans, Garri, Pepper, Yam, Fish, Meat, transport fare, Accommodation cost etc is increasing by the day. GEJ, what can you say to that?

7k

LaShawn:
Try and read novels too. . .they'd help you improve your English AND confidence level, k?


Maybe part of the problem is your language skillZ. You feel it's not too polished so you don't feel confident in using it??

DOnt u think the Poster is an example of a good man u are desirous about
If i were u, i will take him fast fast. he is still young and fresh.
Try it and u wont regret.

Me loff this car

Unfortunate but she simply has to move on.
By the way, u sound to me like u want her. Try ur luck Bro. wishing u the best.

Honestly, too much grammar from the President.

BEAF, where are u oooooooo? is this true? Why hasn"t the Chief Dog of the state done this?
@Poster, any facts or reference whatsoever?

nasoeb:
@ kx

dont talk about that lagos road are the worst.

i am from lagos state and have been to Rivers State. Rivers Road is better than what we have here.

This is annoying. Either lagos or PH, all bad roads must be done. Period.

^^^^
I'm Yoruba and there is nothing to say than Tinubu to go to the tribunal as promised and clear his name. What else do u want to hear

The Retardeen Promised me 7000MW by April 2011. This is September 2011, he has just achieved a little above 4000MW. This is shear failure. All hope is not lost at least since Barth is still in office.
By the way, all u guys claiming improvement, i honestly not feeling it in my domain here in PH. na wa ooooo.

I am a resident here in PH and to be honest Ameachi's first term in Rivers was wonderful. So far, i havent seen anything much after the elections. I keep on hearing the rains this and that. Hopefully, the rains will stop for some time for work to commence.
Secondly, what is the LG's doing especially Obio-Akpor? i only see them extorting motorists, market women etc. these offices are well-funded and they all should use these resources for the benefit of all inhabitants.

Its good to know that Tinubu isnt on the run and is heading straight to the CCB- code of conduct bureau to clear his name.
my understanding is they want to determine if truly he was running foreign accounts while still the governor of Lagos. Someone kindly correct me if wrong plsss
I just pray Justice will be welldone despite having a cash and carry Judiciary.

Every life (innocent and guilty) is relevant

^
Aregbesola just confirmed in black and white that he is 100% involved in Lagos state politics and you're here arguing. Not less than 10 politicians from Lagos were waiting for his attention, but it seems there were NONE from Osun, his own sate.

The RASCAL, Aregbesola is Nigeria's most useless governor and a true pretender.

3 Things i would like to say:

1) What is wrong with Osun governor getting himself involve in Lagos Politics? Is it unconstitutional? What can u say about Rochas woking hand-in-hand with his party APGA to secure some local seats in lagos? Aregbesola should be praised that he isnt just a local champion . Its understandable that peeps like this are heavyweights in the political circle which has made them a threat to that useless party called PDP.

2) Because Aregbesola is involved in Lagos politics doesnt suggest to any reasonable fellow that he is based in Lagos. You lie about this a lot and its simply unfortunate.

3) His involvement in Lagos hasnt in anyway suggest to us all that Governance is being affected in Osun. Based on reports of both residents and people that should know. They are happy with him and the majority of Osun indigenes and residents seems to be happy.

_{NB: I'v never seen you this civil before in your response, hopefully this will be the beginning of a new thing but wait a minute,}

How far with the Chief Dog of Delta State? Wasup with him?

pinkrex:
What do you really understand about my earlier post

What a question
Keep asking jor

pinkrex:
'Wisely' was part of the sentence

Yeah i saw it. It can still be misused despite being used wisely.
its like saying and defending a wrong notion intelligently that ones knows deep inside it isnt true. Spokesman of dictaors and political figures tend to fall into this category.

kukulaja:
globe trotting is just to siphone osun state money and starshed abroad,period, do you know the millions of dollars of state money that went with all those trip, never expect much from him in terms of developmemt and credible performance,, he is only an half baked technician trained at ibadan plytechnic, he is never well groomed for such an office, just another one of ahmed bola [tinubu] shangodele's pupils.

I understand ur sentiments here bro but would advise that u shouldnt allign ursef with Accursed on this issue. he is the number 1 spin doctor on nairaland.
Will it be fair to state also that since GEJ will be going to UN this week he will use the opportunity to siphon Nigerian money abroad.
Ogbeni has started categorically where he has been to and how it was funded. Please read the below.


[b]Aregbesola said he always ensured that his Deputy, Otunba Grace Titilayo Laoye-Tomori, held forth and performed state functions to his satisfaction whenever he was not around.

He said his travelling was on record and he would continue to meet people who could assist him in turning the fortune of the state around.
Aregbesola accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of spreading rumour of his ill-health, saying he was hale and hearty and rumor mongers would be afflicted with the alleged disease.

“Having been defeated on that front, they started making issues out of my few travels. My travels are public and on records. The first was to the Borough of Southwark in the United Kingdom, purely on official assignment, to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Borough on behalf of councils in the state on areas of mutual understanding,” he said.
He said his second trip to Dubai was undertaken to attend the convocation of his daughter “from where I proceeded to India for medical check up.”

He reminded the gathering that he had made this known before travelling that after the exhaustion of the struggle for his mandate’s retrieval and the rigorous campaign for the April/May general election, that he needed to rest, which lasted for only one week. Aregbesola stated that his trip to Dubai and India were carried out purely on his personal account while no state fund was involved, saying “anyone in doubt can check the records.”

He said: “My next travel was to China on state visit at the invitation of All China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), the first to be extended to any state governor in Nigeria. This was facilitated by the executive secretary of Organisation of African Trade Union Unity (OATUU). Agreements were signed that would make Chinese firms to establish industries in Osun State and enable our state access official Chinese government assistance. The trip was a huge success.” Commenting on his last trip to Saudi Arabia for the lesser Hajj popularly called Umrah in Arabic, the governor told the gathering that it was also at his personal expense as it had been his practice for the past 12 years.

He described his critics as jobless, disclosing that when he had a case in Abuja, the presiding magistrate granted him permission to perform the lesser Hajj and returned home to resume the case.“I leave those who engineered this wicked and malicious lie in the hand of God but I want them to know that they will also have what they wish for others. It is a divine principle that what you sow, you reap,” he declared.[/b]

Accursed, its good to know that you are still on Aregbesola's case. Below are my thoughts:

We all should be encouraged about this and Ogbeni should be praised as explained by Alhaji:

[quote author=alj_harem link=topic=762438.msg9168773#msg9168773 date=1316315534]Just what i like to hear from this governor

Kudos to aregbesola

This is what they call "economic integration" and it starts from political integration which PDP has not been able to achieve

hope more of this is done in other parts of the country

Nice one aregbesola and tinubu (even though i don't like him too much) but this makes sense[/quote]

Beaf:
Can someone ask this man to pack back to Osun and forget Lagos? How Can the Osun state governor live in Lagos?

its not true that Ogbeni lives in Lagos. Going through your Posted Article, two parts from the un-boldened part suggests that this press conference didnt hold in Lagos and most likely Osun. I have always been telling you this but u wont listen. he visits Lagos like any other governor but does not live or govern from lagos

President Goodluck Jonathan won elections in all the South West states except here  (Definitely referring to Osun). This is the only state our presidential candidate won. If I had been sick, how could I have mobilised the party to the extent of winning the elections so massively in my state in April? A man could not have led a party to achieve such a victory in April and by May and you started concocting stories of his illness.

Go down there now (pointing to his waiting room), they are 10 persons from Lagos waiting to see me. They believe that once they see me their problems are solved, even when it may not be possible for me to solve all problems. (This interview definately did not take place in Lagos) Our opponents take these issues to ridiculous extent because they don’t want healthy rivalry.

emmatok:
@Beaf
Lagos is not ABIA were you discriminate against non-indigenes  including IGBOs.
Every Yoruba man is welcomed in the SW states.

I agree with you completely. Neither is Lagos Delta which has definately gone to the dogs with the Chief Dog himself (udaughan) in charge.

basadenet:
Must you be involved in Lagos politics? No. It is better you face your osun state. even your stay in osun state till date has not improve the state a bit. so face your osun and leave lagos alone mr long throat.

Says who? several residents and indigenes of this state has attested to the fact that this guy in question is working real good on previous thread? how do u know he isnt working? are u also a resident in Osun?
Because he is involved in Lagos politics doesnt mean he is/will be found wanting in his duties in osun. instead, when we talk of national integration, this is exactly some of what i expect from our politicians.

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-757532.0.html

Beaf:
The man only spends 3 days a month in Osun, the rest of his time is shared between Lagos and abroad.

Once again, stop talking from your anus. Bring verifiable facts to this and we all will reason with you. Lies arent ok

In the first half of this year, Aregbesola was very bitterly involved with choosing commissioners for guess where? Lagos!! How ridiculous can things get?

And who says he cant get his commissioners from kafanchan Accursed? By the way read below his response about his late decision on commisioners. use your brain and let it work for u without any bias whatsoever:

Delay in appointing commissioners

When people talk, I get amused. We assumed office on November 25th, 2010. Since then, it has been a successful outing, especially fulfilling a great feat with my commissioners and I can say that they are the best set of commissioners any state can boast of in this country. Initially, people were talking about our delay to constitute the state cabinet without realising the stiff opposition we had faced from the rival party in the legislature. When we came in, the PDP had about 19 members to ACN’s seven in the state House of Assembly and they were bosom traps we were trying to avoid. From day one, their plans were to oust us and when we knew their plans and their sponsors, we designed strategies to truncate them. Although the constitution states that we should appoint commissioners, it did not give any specific timeframe or deadline and when we were ready to appoint commissioners, we got the best people around to do the job.


And in all that time, he had none and no plans for any in Osun either. Indeed Osun states time was taken up with their governor becoming a nuisance to Fashola in far away Lagos.

You can only bark but cant bite. Indigenes and residents of the states think otherwise and they have so much faith in him and so far he seems as if he is not failing them

Aregbesola's Lagos adventures meant that his home tuff was neglected, it took him 9 months to get his own commissioners after choosing those for Lagos. Every concerned Nigerian should join in the chorus to ask Aregbesola to pack back to Osun from Lagos, his state desperately needs him.

ODE !!!!!!

emisun:
the problem is clear and simple. it's either silva brought the korean guys to deceive GEJ and gain popularity or GEJ in collaboration with his bayelsan counterpart were out to gain cheap popularity. our president must be held responsible for selling a lie brought to his house by a stranger to his household.whether na the stranger started the first lie or not,na who authorised its sale to over 150million people should be held responsible

My thoughts and stand.

pinkrex:
Are ever going to get evidence? Besides who can probe for evidence in this country??


Let our assumptions and instincts guild us wisely.

Nothing wrong making use of both our assumptions and instincts. Its a neccesity however when being misused, it becomes a problem.

Now we are having two factions of the dreaded Boko Haram. This is simply bad.
The REtardeen simply needs to wake up and fast. Is it until the factions are up to 10 before we know that there is fire on the mountain

Beaf:
My sincere apologies.

Demdem has being following me around, all over the forum and calling me accursed (check his profile); I'm only human and reacted to a long period of provocation. I will not be reacting in the same way as him from now; my apologies once again for ruining the thread.

Accursed morning. I didnt tag u such. For the umpteen time u were the one that tag ursef such and just calling u by what u are based on your actions. your apologies to those who are simply ignorant about the genesis of this whole episode and its allowed. Enjoy !!!!!

Secondly, it only seems i am following u around but that isnt the case. Instead ur lies and deceit should be blamed. Stay (or pretend to stay) on the path of truth and all these will end

Nothing will happen if she doesnt attend functions. Better still, let her speak her local dialect.

Former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, has said that he has no apology to tender for his visit to the family of the late Yusuf Mohammed, leader of the Boko Haram sect in Maiduguri, Borno State.

He said the visit was through his personal initiative.

Speaking to P.M.NEWS through one of his aides on telephone this morning, Obasanjo said his visit should not generate any controversy, bitterness or rancour.

The aide told P.M.NEWS: “As of fact, he (Obasanjo) was in Borno State yesterday. I believe that he has the right to travel to any part of the country as he wishes. Why should his visit be a source of debate on the pages of newspapers?

“Series of reports were published in the dailies today on the visit. Baba (Obasanjo) owes nobody any explanation because nobody sent him there. No right thinking person or leader will sit down and watch things get worse and keep silent.

“Drastic issues beget drastic steps. People should stop insinuating unnecessarily. Obasanjo is one out a thousand leaders that are worried over the spate of bombings and killings in Nigeria.

“If he has decided to champion the dialogue course and availed the government of his experience in peace keeping operations, to save the nation of further embarrassment of bomb explosions, I think two things are expected of us in this country.

“First, we should be thankful to God for giving us an experienced man like Obasanjo and second, we should continue to pray to God to give him long life so that we would continue to drink from his cup of wisdom and experience.”

Obasanjo, yesterday, visited the family home of the slain leader of Boko Haram sect, Mohammed Yusuf in Maiduguri, Borno State, Northeast Nigeria.

He held a close-door meeting that lasted about two hours with his family members.

A source at the meeting said that Obasanjo had gone to appeal to the members of the family to appeal to the Boko Haram members to sheathe their swords and end the spate of bombings in the country.

Obasanjo also promised to inform President Goodluck Jonathan of the outcome of his meeting with the family.

The former president also condemned the 26 August bombing of the UN House in Abuja. He was in Sierra Leone when the incident happened.

Obasanjo, in his reaction, described the bombing as barbaric, ungodly and inhuman.

Reactions have been trailing the former president’s visit yesterday to the family of the slain leader of the Boko Haram sect.

Many Nigerians are of the opinion that there should be no negotiation with the bombers. Rather, they should be brought to justice.
