It's true that the Police shot at Dino's convoy. They, the police, just confirmed it.

Buhari is a brand,a one man mopol.even his greatest critics like ffk and yakassai recognized that.gej was a weakling,indecisive,unruthless,too forgiving and hesitant.buhari is clearly the opposite just like obj.goodluck had no real loyalists except his wife.most of his loyallists like edwin clark were only after the money.buhari has die hard loyallists who love him unconditionally like me.that is how you underestimated fayemi.whether you like it or not,apc have superior political strategists than pdp.
Dont forget that a lot of npower volunteers will vote plus apc may resort to vote buying

For someone who once lost to Jonathan, until Tinubu came to the rescue, this is rich.
You're over rating Buhari.
I never underestimated Fayemi. I have nothing against him. He's more useful to me than Fayose.
It's true, Buhari has diehard loyalists, but remember that didn't win him the election? Yes most N-power beneficiaries are the ones supporting him blindly. Not surprised

Malami, who are we going to hold responsible for the needless massacre of innocent people (including children) going on in Benue, Plateau, Taraba, Zamfara, Kaduna, and now, Sokoto? Needless to mention that Boko Haram is still killing daily in the Northeast despite huge allocations and loans taken for a supposed fight against terrorism?
The Government cannot hold him forever if they can't prove a case against him. It's been three years. If the government is still finding it difficult to prove the case beyond reasonable doubt and lock him up for as long as he deserves, I think it's high time they obeyed the court order.

senatordave1:
Well,buhari has rigging on his mind.plus he has more electoral factors working in his favour like governors support,nationwide structure and reach,cult followership,die hard chieftains,huge financial warchest,security agencies,election experience,inec support,penetration.no other candidate can breach that before 2019.

Jonathan had all these in 2015 and still lost.
Buhari has been demystified.
Apart from large scale rigging with the use of INEC and security agencies (this will be pretty hard in some place), he has no other advantage.
Any random politician can beat him next year. It's not as if people voted Buhari because he was good, he took advantage of Jonathan loss of goodwill.

senatordave1:
Many of those registering are doing so because of personal or social needs like bank account opening,empowerment purposes etc.as far as buhari is up against a northerner,many southerners wont vote.less i forget,ipob will likely declare a boycott that day .voters turnout in the east wont be up to 2 million.rivers will also be affected favouring buhari.

By the way,nobody has the ability or capacity to rig nore than an incumbent as far as nigeria is concerned.

I've been to at least 10 INEC offices in 4 different state in the last one month. Most people have other means of identifications- NationaNational ID Card comes to mind. Voters registration is apparently much more difficult for people than NIMC. I was in Suleja INEC office today and people have to be there as early as 4am to make the list.
In essence, no one would go through that stress when there are alternatives.
Buhari has lost people's confidence and many people will vote purposely to against the President, not because they are interested in who wins.
Except Buhari has rigging in mind, he's not coming back.

I'd want to believe this is the old promise, not making another one else, these people in government must think all Nigerians are zombies.

That's what they will tell you if you've registered before now. Instead of double registration, you'd be told to print a form from their server to process a new card for you. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Wait till that November before you sing all the praises.

senatordave1:
Its you that wil be shocked.if as a non incumbent he narrowly won,what will he get as an incumbent? Please compare obj's results in 1999 and 2007 to get a glimpse of what buhari will do

This is 2018 man. Jonathan, an incumbent, narrowly lost for a reason...and don't compare Obj's regime to Buhari's.
Go to INEC offices nationwide. People are getting registered to vote, not for Buhari, but to send him back home.
Except you're mistaking power of incumbent for the ability to rig, Buhari will lose.

Buhari will not have up to the total votes he had in 2015.
And if you're banking on the number of states under APC in the south, you'll be shocked.

Believe this at your own risk.
How would you arrest them when you are the ones who sent them?

Those corpse are decomposing already.
This is a bad attempt at gaining sympathy.

We are with Fashola on this. You guys (the DisCos) are on your own.
Nobody is owing you guys.

Kingsley1000:
that pic is real o,I have watched the documentary on bbc

3D images Bro.

Pavore9:
That is why it is really important to have a health insurance plan.

It's not that simple.
It has to be where you're registered to receive care. You can't just walk into any hospital and expect to receive care, unless of course, you were referred there from your primary healthcare facility. A lot still has to be done.
The first step is making health insurance mandatory for all.

lx3as:
PDP and cheap lies!
Although anything to make its gullible online Wailers happy is ok for them.

It's still a fact that issues concerning the current happenings in Nigeria were discussed.
If you think they invited him just for a dinner, you're on a long thing.

post=69449563:
I think impunity is encouraging the killings and those responsible must be punished.
When there is that kind of killing, there must be proper prosecution and perpetrators must be properly sentenced


True words have never been spoken.
The president should bring all these evil people causing all these killings and blood shed in the country.
They will never escape judgement.

He will be never bring them to justice... not when he's making excuses for them.

Azmodan:
You speak like one who is uneducated

Because it was the French envoy who exposed buhsris lie now France are the one remotely causing this, if it was British envoy you would have said Britain are remotely causing it



You are trully very unintelligent and desperate to counter facts with propaganda and lies



Buhari sponsors bokoharam, buhari has never ensured any of these murderers are persecuted , instead that criiminak.granted amnesty to bokoharam, he blamed Libya now today you are blaming France ?



You are so unintelligent it hurts my eyes to read your nonsense

Are surprised he's blaming the French?
That's what this government has been able to achieve since 2015...blame everyone but themselves.

Nigerians deserved to enjoy effective security and better governance than the government was currently providing

Buhari and his foot soldiers would never agree to this.
To them, the security of the country is tighter than that of Forte Knox.

AdesegunSanni89:
Mumu. Fayose hasn’t paid salaries this year, so there’s no point giving him anymore allocation since we don’t know what he did with the previous ones, more so that he is outgoing. So it’s better FG gives the monies to Fayemi so that he can clear the arrears as soon as he resumes office

Go and buy sense.
Is it lawful to withhold state allocations?
Whatever he wants to do with the allocation is not the FG problem. He's the governor until October. The EFCC can invite him afterwards if they feel he mismanaged state resources.
No wonder they call Nigeria a shithole. Most of her citizens are reasoning from their shitholes.
God forbid you find your way to any position of authority.

Xter92cy:
Ok ooo

If you can tell us the number of votes polled by other parties and the invalid votes, first ...

AdesegunSanni89:
The Federal Government should withhold Ekiti allocations till October when Fayose leaves office. Because if not, Fayose the thief will steal everything and share to his cronies without paying salaries and may even incur debts for the state. So no allocation for Ekiti again till End of October 2018.

And the suffering workers should be eating grass abi?
No wonder some people are accusing the FG of frustrating Fayose by withholding the state allocation.
So many idiots without knowledge of the basics of federalism. You should be ashamed of yourself.

The Fulanis should look inward for these incidence of cattle rustling. It just doesn't add up for 86 herd of cattle to go missing without trace.
The herders are the ones rustling these cattle and blame it on the locals, most of whom are even afraid to get close to a cow talk more of stealing it.
We will accept the excuse of killing innocent people just because one herder decides to steal his Master's cattle... not again!!!

hush15:
No i disagree with you. There has to be a balance. Also, dont forget Fayose faced challenges with the FG in terms of allocation. Sometime last year or the year before, he had to go to abuja to see Adeosun before he could get his allocation. Another truth is he ia being denied allocations recently because of elections.

I understand your point but when its not enough, its not enough, there is no two story about that and ekiti needs to break that rat race cycle in other to grow.

While the results is being keenly contested and everything unfolds, lets see how Fayemi goes. I can assure you, promise would be broken....

Payment of salary is the basic function of any government. Any other things are secondary.
In a situation where everything is financially tight, the government should use the available resources to pay the workers (the economy remains stable when people have money to spend). For a state like Ekiti, nonpayment of salaries will aggravate suffering.
I'm sure Fayose must have been spending the state resources on irrelevance too.
The problem with governance in Nigeria is that the cost of running government is too expensive. Consider the Executive and the Legislature for example.
These people put themselves first and if there's nothing left after that, they give excuses to the masses.

With Fayemi coming on board, I still don't see the end of suffering for the people of the state. Things might even get worse.

Same file that has been gathering dust long before Fayose got his immunity in 2014?
If the EFCC can not perform its duties independent of the President or the party in power, I think it's high time it's scrapped.
What do you expect from an agency of government whose Chairman is a member of the ruling party?

NOETHNICITY:
Bros, Ekiti election is a reflection of the politics of Nigeria.

Nigerians are wiser today.
Come 2019, the enemies of Nigeria will be disgraced

Ekiti election in 2014 didn't determine the outcome of the 2015 general election. Whatever makes you think this will be an exception.
People have different reasons for voting for Fayemi, Buhari factor is not one of them.
I essentially wanted Fayemi to win, but I'm never going to vote for Buhari next year.
Nigerians are wiser today, yes, and that's why the sweet talks of 2015 will not return Buhari next year. He'll have to tell us what he's been doing for the last four years

lakesider:
most nigerians are either muslim or Christians.. the state of our nation tells us our religion is scam

People practice religion for one reason or the other, not necessarily because they believe in God.
Many people go to Church today for political and financial reasons, not to seek the face of God. Don't expect this kind of people to be Christlike. I can categorically say 90% of Christians in Nigeria go to Church for the wrong reasons.

SalamRushdie:
I will not lie I am totally depressed by the magnitude of rigging that took place in Ekiti and how gullible Nigerians have quietly accepted their faith even though they know the results announced were not the true reflection of the results in ground ....I will not accept another four years of Buhari never never I will rather relocate from this country to somewhere where fairness and equity is upheld ... I can see that Buhari will easily rig the 2019 elections and this is how Nigerians will siddon look and allow themselves to be cheated.... I am sad that all our efforts as good Nigerians to make sure we rid govt of closet Islamic terrorist won't yield the desired result because of of Buharis brazen type of reason ....Its time we take our petition to God because from what I see from the Ekiti election Buhari has rigged his way to 2019 already .Sad day for me ...make I reach church

A vote for Fayemi is not necessarily a vote for Buhari. Don't make that mistake.
30000+ police won't be available for every state in next general election.
PDP was voted out in Ekiti for non-performance. Same treatment will be dished out to Buhari next year.
People are suffering in Nigeria. Next year general election will reflect that reality.

NOETHNICITY:
Online trolling of PMB and APC can continue unabated
But those who truly love PMB are not on Nairaland and other online platforms to express their love.

Haters should be ready to cry come 2019

What does Ekiti election has to do with love for Buhari?
The people voted for one of their sons.
Why not wait till next general election to confirm if the people truly love Buhari?

A well deserved victory for Fayemi.
He should prove himself worthy by not being a stooge to anyone.

I supported Fayemi to win in 2014 before he was rigged out. I hated Fayose and PDP for it.
He's more of an Uncle and Father to me but his romance with Buhari and the likelihood of Fulani cattle ranch in Ekiti is the reason I don't want him there. I'm of Ekiti ancestry. I don't want anything to do with Fulani.
Fayemi should understand that he is a governor of a state and should not necessarily take whatever policy proposition from the federal government. Giving land for cattle colony would be his undoing if he tries it.

adioolayi:
SouthWest politics can be predicted, Fayose's machinery won Ekiti for PDP.... it wasn't easy for APC to snatch the state from him today.. all his supporting logistics were first decimated...No matter what.. either by force or fire... Fayemi will win Ekiti for PMB. If we are still trying to call blue black, we are not telling the truth. PMB will win 2019...This is July, election is 6months away!

I'm just reminding you that PDP won Ekiti in 2014, but lost Aso Rock in 2015.
If APC wins Ekiti, it's Fayemi's victory, not Buhari's.
You can't give south west to Buhari just yet, because the states are under APC.
Except you meant being in control of the states increases chances of rigging for PMB in 2019, I don't see him winning any state in the south west (remember he won Jonathan by a slim margin there?).
Gubernatorial election is a local affair, most people who participated in this election don't care about the president.
APC needs to sit up.

adioolayi:
APC winning means, those agitated APC members contemplating decamping will stay put.. they will not want to risk defecting to PDP again, because the vision is clearer, PDP structure nationally has just been hit a deadly blow in Ekiti...Ekiti for PMB in 2019.
Remember, PDP and GEJ won in Ekiti in 2015 ..#Fayose's factor... this has just been eliminated!

#PoliticsIsSweet

@the bolded...it doesn't work that way.
Remember they didn't vote Fayemi because of Buhari and definitely would not vote Buhari next year because Fayemi is the governor.
Buhari's achievements should count for him next year, if not, he's still going to lose in Ekiti next year.
Don't forget Fayemi and Eleka are both sons of the soil, regardless of the outcome of this election, but who cares about the fulani man in Ekiti?
PDP winning Ekiti didn't determine the outcome of the 2015 election, don't expect anything different...same with defections. You should know better.

elmodee7:
let the EFCC, DSS, Nigerian police SFU unit,ICPC be on standby. ifayose will attempt to abscond.

He's still the Governor until he hands over to the winner.
