Denying in far away Poland before people who barely knew Buhari shows the salt in the allegations that the Buhari who became president of Nigeria in 2015 is no more the Buhari who is president of Nigeria today.

History has many cases like Buharis where leaders died, but were replaced by look-a-likes. Not even their immediate family members knew.
Russians kept the old Soviet states in the Soviet Union through jests like the Buhari clan is doing today.

Why did Aisha, Buhari's wife, refuse Buhari's party Chairman, Oshionwhole, entry to her house recently, when Oshionwhole called for urgent briefing from President Buhari on party matters?

@POLITICSNGR

Gov. Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun says he will remain in the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest the senatorial election in 2019 while ensuring the re-election of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He, however, said aggrieved party members who defected to the Allied People’s Movement (APM) have his blessings.

Amosun spoke on Monday in Abeokuta at a stakeholders meeting of the APC which was attended by his preferred governorship candidate and the flagbearer of APM, Adekunle Akinlade.

The governor ’s declaration came as 26 aggrieved candidates of the APC loyal to the governor announced their defection to the APM. Amosun said he had tried his best to stop the defection of Akinlade and other aggrieved candidates.

He vowed to use everything within his capacity to ensure the success of Akinlade and other aggrieved members in their new party.

Amosun also said that he would not support the governorship candidate of the APC, Dapo Abiodun.

“When these people came, they told me they are leaving the APC, I said ‘no’ but I couldn’t stop them. In fact, Akinlade has my full support.

” I am not going to stop him, everything I have, I will use to support him, let them try whatever they want to try, we also have our strategies and I am not going to hide behind one finger.

“I remain in APC because that’s what those people want, they want us to leave APC but they are joking.

“ I will stay in APC to ensure that Buhari wins in Ogun State and to let them know that they can’t subvert the will of the state.

“Every day, I will campaign for President Muhammadu Buhari, we will do everything possible to ensure Buhari wins massively in Ogun, but they should not miss it.

“ I, Sen. Ibikunle Amosun, will not support anyone they are bringing,” he said.

Amosun, who vowed to resist rigging in the state, also pledged to check violence in the electoral process.

Awka Etiti, Ezinifite and Oguta are in one class of suburban areas.

AKURE—AHEAD of the 2019 general elections, President Muhammadu Buhari, weekend, advised Nigerians against playing the politics of hate and violence.

He spoke at the combined 29th and 30th convocation ceremonies of the Federal University of Technology, FUTA, in Akure.

Represented by the Director of Accreditation, National University Commission, NUC, Dr. Noel Saliu Biodun, the President urged Nigerians to eschew violence as the country prepares for the 2019 year elections.

He said: “We must not ignite the fire of discord, religious bigotry and ethnicity which will be difficult to put out after the elections have been won and lost.

“Peace and peaceful coexistence are certain essential for individual and national progress and we all must work to attain peace in our nation.”

President Buhari urged tertiary institutions in the country to intensify efforts on the actualization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for economic growth and national development.

He said: “In this age of ICT, we believe that our universities of technology are pivotal to the actualization of our national development agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.”

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Fuwape, who listed the laurels won by the nationally and internationally, implored the graduands to be worthy ambassadors and give back to their Alma Mater.

In his remarks, Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, commended FUTA for the educational excellence, assuring them that the state government would continue to partner with them for ICT revolution and development.

Obi is known in the SOUTH east only and he is not even an accepted candidate. Most South East Governors have reached agreements with the President. The election is gone. Intelligent observers know this.

The international community is unhappy with the APC government; HSBC and Barcklays Banks left Nigeria because there was no more money to transfer abroad.

57 Billion was forfeited to the Government because no one came to claim them, over 500 billion stolen money recovered, OML AND OPL licences for oil to be revisited. Now all the people that have lost all these monies are doing everything they can to sabotage this government.

THAT IS THE TRUTH. WE CAN JUDGE THIS GOVERNMENT BETTER IN 8 YEARS. THERE IS SO MUCH ATTACK ON OSINBAJO BECAUSE, THE OPPOSITION KNOWS THAT HE IS THE BRAIN BEHIND THIS GOVERNMENT.
Osinbajo doesn't know where and when important decisions of president Buhari and cabal are taken.

Even the DSS boss appointed by Osinbajo when Buhari was out, the DSS boss was unceremoniously discharged from duty.

Buhari has appointed his close relation as INEC chair. PDP kept mute, because whenever Buhari or Atiku wins, power still resides in the north

The 20 new political units (19 states+Abuja) proliferated by northern military dictators in one northern region are what shall majorly decide the 2019 presidential election.
A candidate needs 25% of votes in 24 states to be declared winner.

The rigged and lopsided political structure is reason why a cow from northern region can easily win a professor of Law from the southern regions of Nigeria in Nigeria's presidential election.


Atiku and Buhari are competing to lead a country awash with all sorts of younger and better educated people. The rigged political structure is the reason.

There should have been more states in the two southern regions than in the one northern region.

Too many people born and fed the falsehood that a state capital ought to be developed by government more than any other town or lga in the state.

Rochas Okorocha sold out the same falsehood in warehouse proportions..
Anyone that disputes the falsehood and calls for infrastructure outside Owerri on a thread meant to discus Imo state is not it.

It's a duty for every well-informed citizen of IMO state to denounce the ugly situation we have where a tiny portion of the state - Owerri - is many decades of modernity ahead of rest of the state.


The bogey state governors who sustain this ugly situation do so for their selfish ends - build eye-catching things in Owerri and beat the drum that IMO state is developing, then pocket the funds meant to provide infrastructures in the other 24 local councils of Imo state. Owerri beneficiaries of this trend clap for the governor.

It was the turn of Okigwe zone to continue with governorship position in 2011.
But to narrow the yawning development gap between Owerri zone and Orlu zone, Orlu zone took a risk and voted massively for Okorocha against incumbent Ohakim.

Okorocha instead took to Govt House the old grudges he has against a few persons in Orlu area and damaged or stifled some existing infrastructures in Orlu zone, pursued only his private businesses in the zone, and widened the yawning development gap between Owerri and Orlu by more than 500%.

It seems Buhari believes that Yorubas are very gullible.

The truth is that unless Buhari scores 25% of votes in 24 states of Nigeria, he can't be declared winner of the 2019 presidential election.

Buhari can easily win 25% votes in each of the 19 northern states. He then needs to "shop" for 5 states from the south.

So he knows he has to focus in the SW region for 2$% win in 5 southern states. Buhari therefore believes he can win favour of the Yorubas with this gift of remembrance for MKO, even though Buhari and Abacha were pals, and Buhari declared Abacha a nice person.

14Ebiscoo:
The Director-General of the Voice of Nigeria, Mr Osita Okechukwu, has said the Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, is free to have the All Progressives Congress.

Okechukwu said this while responding to questions from newsmen at the National Secretariat of the APC, in Abuja, on Monday.

However, one of the conveners of the APC Restoration Coalition in Imo State, Dr. Toe Ekechi, said the VON DG was merely expressing a personal opinion.

Ekechi noted that Okorocha, for now, remained the governor of Imo State and that his support and contribution would be welcome should he decide to continue to support the APC.

Earlier, Okechukwu said the APC was now better positioned to make a greater impact on the South-East with or without the governor.

He expressed confidence that the APC would consolidate on its power come 2019 by winning seats at the executive and legislative levels in state and at the federal levels.

Okechukwu said, “At least, there are more than 60 political parties now, Okorocha is free to join any of his choice. Though we are not forcing him to leave, what we are saying is we have taken the leadership out of his hands because he was playing God.

“He was personalising power, so the majority of the leadership and membership of the APC in the South-East said, ‘thank you, so far so good enough is enough.’

“So, what I am just saying is that he was at liberty to leave the APC but let nobody anywhere think that the APC will lose because we have retrieved the party from him. No, the APC is the winner as a political party.

“Mr President is going to get more votes; we are going to win more parliamentary seats, more governorship seats without him.

“In my place, there is a saying that when a bird is dancing on the main road it means there is a drummer in the bush and I am pointing at the drummer of all that is happening in the South-East. But luckily, the majority, over 90 per cent of the leadership and membership of the APC in the South-East has said enough is enough to our former leader, Owelle Rochas Okorocha.”

Please, stop with these your regional water schemes. Like I told you before, whatever infrastructure that was built years ago is now probably OBSOLETE. Secondly, where will the water that will be fed to the pipes come from? Please, don't tell me boreholes, because that will be a joke.

The first thing that any government must do before even constructing one single house or building a pipeline infrastructure, is water treatment and waste treatment plants. Water treatment plants for good quality drinking, cleaning and bathing water. And instead of burying your pee and poo (RAW SEWAGE) in your backyard, pump the raw sewage to a waste treatment plant where the impurities are removed before it's discharged. We built practically everything the wrong way. We should stop and desist from continuing with the mediocrity. We should go back to square one to do everything the right way. Pure and simple.
There is no trophy to be worn here, so please be civil, not most impolite.

1) Water supply infrastructures buried under the grounds last for ages, if not, you could have been seeing excavations and replacement of water pipes going on daily all over the place.

2) Mbakwe's IMSG Regional Surface Water Supply Infrastructures in Owerri, Okigwe, Umuahia and Aba are still mostly intact under the grounds of these cities. Those of Owerri and Okigwe can be utilized in any future process of restoring water supply to Owerri and Okigwe zones.

3) I have mentioned SURFACE WATER SUPPLY more than three times in my past interaction with you on this water supply thing. Surface water supply scheme implies the pumping out of water from streams, rivers, lakes, seas or even ocean, treat the pumped out water, then circulate the water through a region or zonal or city's water supply infrastructures buried under the ground. I don't know what problem you have with my use of the phrase - regional water supply scheme.

4) Mbakwe refused to commence work on Orlu regional surface water supply scheme because late Collins Obih played a vicious opposition politics against Mbakwe.
Collins Obi was from the same Ideato area of Orlu zone as Rochas Okorocha.

See how Orlu zone was "blessed" by the politics of Obih and Okorocha.

Okorocha does not even have water supply as part of government responsibility. He was expected to fulfill Ohakim's promise to start work on Orlu regional water scheme, after Udenwa/Ararume got federal assistance to complete Okigwe regional surface water supply scheme, though not utilized afterwards.

Much of the Okorocha boulevards in Owerri may have to be broken when the time comes for any other governor to restore Owerri regional water supply scheme

Politics › Re: I'm Afraid Opposition Has More Money - Buhari by discusant: 1:51pm On Jun 03, 2018
BlackPeni5:
President Muhammadu Buhari expressed fears yesterday that the opposition in the country has stupendous resources at its disposal in preparation for the 2019 elections which the ruling All Progressives Congress , APC, may not be able to match.

The President also said that the opposition elements were sponsoring mischief against his government in a bid to discredit him and make him unpopular.

In its immediate reaction however, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, said President Buhari should rather be afraid of his rejection by Nigerians who have made up their minds to throw him out in 2019 as a result of his failure in government President Buhari, in his speech, when the Buhari Media Organization, BMO, paid him a courtesy visit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, sympathised with those who were supporting his government in view of the increasing opposition against him.

He however appreciated the efforts of members of the group who he said may have lost their friends for just supporting him, stressing that it was a great sacrifice they were making without financial rewards.

According to him, “I don’t think I can thank you enough for your steadfastness under very difficult circumstances. It is not easy to defend this administration and more in particular to defend me."

“But your consistency has given me a lot of confidence. And I know you are doing it as a sacrifice not only in terms of physical or mental but material sacrifice. Because as I keep on saying, the opposition elements are now sitting on incredible resources which I am afraid we might not match at all. For that reason, the opposition is sponsoring mischief from different angles which in spite of the incumbency of government we cannot absolutely stop."

“It is you who are fighting it and I cannot thank you enough for that. Most of the people I jailed have been given back all that they had taken before I was jailed”.

The President then went on memory lane on the decision he took as a military head of state where he ordered the arrest, detention and prosecution of those who allegedly looted public funds, but also noted that those who were found not guilty were discharged.

He said, “Most of those people who were judged by the various tribunals have been given back what they have taken. I spent 18 months in detention and luckily they did not find anything against me and I was released. But my problem was that there was a journalist from Edo State who wrote an article on me that my mother had to die to save me."

This was because I was only released when my mother died to go and bury her. Of course, you know as a Muslim tradition demands that you are buried where you die.

“So, I can appreciate the sacrifices most of you sitting here have made in terms of materialism or even losing some of your friends to continue to support me. I have been here for three years and you have proved to people that you are not here for material things, but out of sacrifice and the strength of the moral courage you have is the the strength of the physical, it is the strength of losing the friends you have."

“I am sure you are being asked, this support you are busy giving Buhari, what do you get out of it. And that is why I commend your steadfastness and I am very grateful for it. In this country whether people like it or not, they will remain grateful for your courage because you have the courage to do the research, to take the time to reply mischievous representation and we are very grateful.”

In his remarks, the leader of Buhari Media Organization which was formerly known as Buhari Media Support Organization, Austin Braimoh said, the group believed in the government of President Buhari.

He said the group had in the course of carrying out its assignment used various organs of mass communication to project the administration, stressing that it changed the negative narratives the opposition was dishing out when President Buhari went on medical vacation to London.

PDP replies Buhari Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday dismissed President Muhammadu Buhari’s remark about the opposition having too much money going into the 2019 elections.

The party said rather than worry about the opposition, President Buhari should reckon with his failure to deliver on promises made to Nigerians during the electioneering campaign for the 2015 polls. National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Kola Ologbondiyan told Vanguard that the real fear the first citizen should worry about is the betrayal of trust of Nigerians. “He should be worried about the failure of his government, not about money in the hands of the opposition.

In 2015, Nigerians trusted Muhammadu Buhari and voted him to become President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. One clear year to the 2019 general elections, the same people have rejected him for failing to do anything meaningful to impact on their lives So, what should be his fear is the rejection by Nigerians who have made up their minds to throw him out in 2019,” Ologbondiyan said.

Also speaking, former Minister of Special Duties and 2019 Presidential aspirant on the platform of the PDP, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, said “Buhari’s fear is a misplaced one. At any time, no individual or political party can boast of the enormous resources in the hands of the government".

Recently, the Federal government unilaterally approved the withdrawal of $1billion from the Excess Crude Account (ECA) without legislative approval and concerns were raised that the money could be used to prosecute the 2019 elections. The government he controls has more money than any imagined opposition and so, he should tell us something different.”

Also reacting to President Buhari’s remark, the All Progressive Grand Alliance, APGA, yesterday, said it does not play money politics, but politics of ideology and policy formulations to deepen democracy and deliver good governance to the citizenry.

National Publicity Secretary of APGA, Mr. Iheanacho Orji, faulted apprehension by President Muhammadu Buhari that the opposition has enormous money at its disposal than the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC.

According to him, “How could the opposition have more money than the All Progressive Congress, APC, which controls the presidency, is it possible? In a nutshell, the President’s statement could not be factual.

We know there are 68 political parties, the moment you remove PDP, you remove APGA, we have 66 other parties remaining who are not controlling executive positions in the state not to talk of the presidency.

“There is no way the opposition will have more money than the ruling party that controls more executive positions both in the states and the presidency. APGA does not play money politics; we play clear ideological politics and so, whether we have the money or not is not the issue, we don’t involve ourselves in money politics. We play ideological politics, and we are pure to the sensibility of the masses. We play politics based on policies and ideas for the betterment of the country.”

Focus on security, not 2019 elections, CSOs urge Buhari Similarly, some Civil Society Organisations have urged President Muhammadu Buhari,to focus on security and not 2019 elections.

The Country Director, Actionaid, Ene Obi, in his reaction said Buhari should not be concerned more about his presidential ambition than the incessant loss of lives on a daily basis and how to ensure the recovery of looted money and conviction of looters. According to Obi the president should think more about the plight of Nigerians who are not having access to the basic necessities of life, and also to work hard for the unity and peace of Nigeria.

According to her: “President Buhari should pay more attention to national security, the lives of Nigerian citizens, and the fight against corruption. He should charge the justice system to get more convictions on those who looted the economy. Recovered money should make a difference in the lives of Nigerians from where the monies were stolen from.

She urged Buhari to make sure the people were carried along in his policies and programmes, and also to take care of vulnerable Nigerians, especially the internally displaced persons. In his own reaction, the Country Director, Nation First Foundation, Onianwa Elidad, said President Buhari should focus more on Nigerians and how to add value to their lives because they come first before any political ambition.

“It is not good to hear this from President Muhammadu Buhari at this point. The nation should come first before any other thing, and his accusation against the opposition party could be analysed from different directions, particularly, with accusations that he has been selective in the fight against corruption.

“Mr. President, please, you should do what the constitution has mandated you especially in securing the lives of Nigerians, providing shelter and food for them. Improve on your economic policies and add value to the lives of over 180 million Nigerians”, he added.

Former member of the House of Representatives, Hon West Idahosa, who also reacted to the president’s remark said “Buhari’s statement is purely diversionary. It is public knowledge that most of the opposition members standing trial and even those under investigation have their accounts frozen.

The only ones with plenty cash are ministers and heads of parastatals as well as former opposition stalwarts who are now in APC, the president’s party. God bless Nigeria.”

What's the objective in bringing Nigerian team to play England in Wembley a few days to the beginning of the World Cup?

Who the goat did not know that certain defeat and ugly exposure awaited Nigeria team playing England at Wembley this time - a few days before the beginning of World Cup?

Blackfire:
Buhari should be the keeper.
Buhari has achieved two points:

Re-Cement most politically unstable Nigeria at the hearts of English people.
See how UK TV Cameras beamed the faces of some Nigerian fans immersed in singing Nigeria's national anthem, but hardly showed the faces of English fans singing England anthem.

2) It's fact that Nigeria team cannot beat English team in Wembley Stadium, so it was like bringing Nigerian team to be demoralized by certain defeat a few days to the beginning of World Cup,


All to achieve Buharis re-election.
