A day after Dakuku Peterside sworn in as Rivers state governor

Please you guys should stop all this. The tribunal never declared dakuku the winner of Rivers election neither did the appeal court. The ruling was that fresh elections should be conducted.

JohnVianney:
That should be able to give enough description. I was there live as well, more pictures coming

Your Monika shows you are Catholic I suppose. That poor igbo boys action is a product of the gospel. Only that could propel the guy to act that way. His reward is on the way, all this you see is just appetizer.

Ategberoson:
this wouldn't have happen under PDP govt. Buhari thank you for influencing sanity in Nigeria judiciary system



even though APC would still contest the judgement in the appeal and supreme court, till then half congrats to Adeleke

Of course it wouldn't have happened. Anumpama.

Who was president when Oshiomole, Aregbesola, Mimiko and the rest were given their mandates by the courts? El RUFai ba?

JohnW2017:
Nigerians!!! Smarten up.. 2 million balance does not mean there was not 2 billion yesterday. The evidence will lie in the transaction history.

No body puts his Ill gotten wealth in the bank. All settlements in Nigeria are done in raw cash. Usually dollars. So you won't see anything reasonable in the TH.

Onoghen might very well be corrupt, but the FG has no case against him.

I have said it severally, the man is the most experienced judge in the land, if he doesn't have a case, he would have accepted the FGs settlement long ago. For him to go through with this case, he will win it.

Look more at the IBB/Abacha connection

I'm talking from an inside point of view. However, getting into the oil and gas industry during the military era without the connection you talked about was impossible. But nestoil was not OBJs starting point.

gabng:
He was never a trader

Try another gist.

And you are talking as one who knows him?

PHIPEX:
Now this is the best of the news to me, motivation to succeed beyond obstacles.

You can say that again.

Who would believe that obijackson was a semi illeterate trader (importer) in onitcha some 30 years ago.

Today, he is well read and runs one of the most successful businesses in the country.

The guy gather courage, and sure knows how to live the good life. Check out that building at akin adesola str. V.I.

richidinho:
PDP support kwankwaso/Udom 2023

Very good.
I like Udom.

uzzyke700:
the master stroke that will happen in 2023 is if pdp zone their presidency to the north. which they may likely do. That is , if they present atiku as the flag bearer, he will still pull the same massive support from the south east and to some extent south south if he picks his deputy from these zones, afterall the SW is geared up to produce the next presidential candidate in APC, hence returning power to the north after their 8yrs, so the SE and SS do not have any chance in APC. so there must be a trade off. the SE /SS will weigh their options, vote APC SW and power returns to the north after 8yrs or vote PDP and maybe Atiku who is more detribalized and from the north with an offer of VP? which will make it easier for power to get to the SE/SS. 2023 may mark the end of APC at the helm of affairs with what may play out. those angling for a Sw presidency in 2023 should think twice. the igbos may likely give the north a second chance as a trade off. And i dont think the north would reject such an offer by not voting their kinsman in 2023. no mater what. because it is not likely that they would be better off after buharis 8 yrs presidency, if they are not better of in the first four years, i dont see any magic he would do, besides there no plans as to the strategy he would use to improve on their well being. i think the SW maybe alone in 2023.

You say likely do? PDP has no option than to give it to the north.

Apart from the SS, no other zone will vote for an igbo man and vice versa. Giving it to a Yoruba man is out of it completely.

So it's North. Its either kwankwaso or tambuwal.

greensandy:
Now that he lost, what do you expect him to do?
To die put?

festacman:
Although he has been completely pushed out of PDP in Ogun State, he should be commended.

His action should serve as an example and motivaton to older and accomplished politicians to give space to younger politicians and rather assume advisory role.

Good one OGD.

The only meaningful statements on this thread yet. Others are just talking bull crap. From the ones calling him afonja, betrayer and the ones shouting Buhari.

You wonder the level of wisdom and intelligence our average youths have.

If the news is true, then he has done well.

Richardonald:
asaba are not Igbo, yes they are Fulani ..... goat head.

They are actually Yoruba.

He talked about 3 traitors from the south. Who are the remaining 2?

deomelo:
No ipob post is complete without empty, shallow, ignorant and unintelligent chest beating..


Nna, let me break it down to you.


You can not show me any credible documented stats that says you are better than the folks outside your ipob village borders and even last time I checked, you can not be better than the rest of Nigeria and still be leaving the comfort of your own towns and villages to do migrant labor, peddle pure water, fan yogo and fake CDs just seek your daily bread and survival from the people you are better than.


Abeg, this is the kind of rubbish you spew @ foreigners, not to Nigeians because we sabi you well weel, your towns and villages are poor and wretched, they are too unproductive to give you jobs or any hope for survival

Every tribe in Nigeria has more impoverished people that comfortable people. And every state in Nigeria including Lagos has grossly underdeveloped locations. Perhaps you have forgotten that Nigeria itself is a grossly underdeveloped nation.

While you analyse that, the guys you look down on as selling pure water and fan yogo and all the other accessories in traffic jams almost across all states of Nigeria are the south wests equivalent of agberos and dope heads in motor parks following Mc oluomo and his kind all around the place. They come from the poorest homes with no parental assistance whatsoever.

But rather than be useless to themselves and families, they have left their villages to try their luck through hard work in cities near their villages all the way to distant lands. And you know what? In the mind of those guys you see as low lives is the hope that through that 'hustling' as they call it, they can save up and engage in better businesses tmrw.

They are a million times better than your kind. And if they were given a quarter of the opportunity you have had in life, they would have been miles ahead of what you have achieved. And if you had their backgrounds, I would be surprised if you would be better than the agberos littered around motor parks everywhere without future ambition.

senatordave1:
Why try to twist the law ? That provision clearly states that once the person with the highest votes but do not have the two third spread,they will be a runofff irrespective of whether anybody has it.it didnt specify that someone with a lower vote but with the spread should be declared.if we go by your warped reasoning,then nwosu who has more spread should be declared winner.dont turn the law upside down.
It therefore means that if two candidates have same number of votes will go to a runoff irrespective of whether they met the spread or not.a winner must have the highest votes and the spread.
During the presidential polls,most of you were also hammering on if buhari met the two third requirement.now you guys want to look the other way.ihedioha is only wasting his time....

Nna eh. Wetin person no go see for una hand.

Senator why are you attacking me? I am not the returning officer that declared ihedioha winner. Na opinion I throw.

Since you are sure of a rerun why don't you just sit and laugh at PDP for celebrating an illegality that will be upturned?

While you are at that, let us celebrate an end to iberibeism. Because with rerun or no rerun, rochas is gone for good.

Bolognese:
Apolitical and unbiased lawyers in the house please help me out.

What if INEC indeed made a mistake in declaring Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), governor-elect in Imo state, as alleged by Uche Nwosu the Action Alliance (AA) candidate.

According to section 179 (2) of the 199 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended);

For a candidate to be declared duly elected to the office of Governor of a State in Nigeria he should win a MAJORITY OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VALID VOTES CAST and must have scored at least 25% OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VALID VOTES CAST IN AT LEAST TWO THIRDS OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE STATE.

In my free time, I did an analysis of the results announced by INEC and indeed the PDP candidate didn't satisfy the " at least 25% OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VALID VOTES CAST IN AT LEAST TWO THIRDS OF THE TOTAL NUMBER OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS IN THE STATE " (See the attached Table). The PDP candidate got 25% in only 11 LGAS

I also found out that the total Number of votes announced by INEC is different when summed using excel...

FACTS: The PDP Candidate won in 11 LGAs, AA in 10, APGA in 4 and APC in 2 LGAs.

The analysis was done using the results of the top 5 candidates and not the 71 who contested, simply because these were the only results available online. It is important to note that if the analysis was to be done with the remaining 66 Political parties, these percentages might drop but not significantly since some parties scored zero votes in a few of the LGAs

Mynd44, Seun, Lalasticlala

None of them met the requirement. As a result, simple majority votes carries the day. That's what I think happened.

Excaperx:
osun election and ganduje threats have open their eyes

The events of Osun has brought out the best from Kano PDP. It's pure genius.

I hope Sokoto, Adamawa, Bauchi will follow suit.

For those shouting it's illegal, just wait and let's see who will chase them from the PUs. It's at times like this you will realize that Joblessness has usefulness.

Ray97:
notherners are generally known as honest people. Thats why politicians and the elite use them as drivers and mai guards.

Very true. If not for the religious fanatism amongst many, leading to high level illiteracy, they are the most reliable Nigerians.

aolawale025:
A different kind of policeman. Such is needed in Nigeria

There are quite a number of them. The only thing is that not many of them make it to the top.

EastGold:
Before you display your naivety, please present to me the result of the 2007 presidential election classified by states or just show me a link to it.


I talk to you as an insider.


I am not holding brief for Prof. Yakubu, but we shouldn't forget that we once had a chairman who only came on air to announce general scores without telling us the result collated per state for each of the parties

Iwu was the worst. There is no argument about it. But you have to consider the level of the electoral process at that time.

However, in consideration of the progress made under jega, yakoob has done very badly.

VirginFinder:
Igbos remain below Yorubas anyhow you look at it.
Empty chest beating is a disease!
PigsFromYeast are suffering from It!!

How many igbos around you are you above?

VirginFinder:
Yorubas (most of the time) don't stay in villages.
Try again.

Very interesting.

What of rochas? Abi na 2nd batch im go collect im own?

rottennaija:
and why is PDP hell bent on taking the north? Why are they hell bent on keeping the south and east and infiltrating the southwest?
The earlier we realized that politics is a game of interest, and these people don't care about you. The better. Last, last, before the next election, opponent will realign for their favour?

I agree with you. Both parties are fighting for survival and supremacy. 15:20 is very good for PDP in 2023 especially with the spread across the regions, but not good for APC, especially in consideration that Buhari will not be in the picture in 2023, and they haven't really broken into the SS and SE. As a result, they want more states.

I don't blame the APC one bit. My only grouse is the bloodshed.

VirginFinder:

Congratulations.

Just go to a core yoruba village and a core igbo village, and you will have your confirmation.

deomelo:
After 20 years of worthless and incompetent PDP follow follow, when are they going to zone anything to the SE?

Oh I forgot, the SE is just for cheap dependable votes and decoration.

Your taunts will never make us clamour for presidency in 2023. Whine all you can, we don't care. Most Yoruba's hate the thought of an igbo man as President, while the hausas fear that if the igbo man takes the presidency, he will divide Nigeria. We have accepted our fate, and we are not bothered about it.

No Igbo man has been president since ironsi, and even with the war, we have faired better than every other tribe in Nigeria in almost if not all human development indices at the moment. So why should we trouble ourselves with presidency. It is for you Yorubas to lose sleep over it.

At this rate, rochas might not make it to May 29th.

Earthquake2:
Enugu peeps are heartless

We told them early enough that the APC guy can't win his PU. That 10000 votes u saw there are the votes of his close relatives, APC members, and some hausas.

There are many factors involved in winning elections in Enugu state especially governorship. The rotational agreement is too strong to be altered by anyone. As a result, no zone can go beyond 8 years. If Ayogu had won, nsukka would have had 12 years. Nobody will allow that happen. All this in addition to the fact that nobody wants to hear APC in enugu, and that Ayogu is a very bad person makes even that 10000 suspect.

cr7lomo:
If I were this AAC boy , I will release a statement, stating that I don't wanna contest again because the trouble that this boy wants to get involved in, he wudnt b able to carry it ooo... Y dint amaechi support a bigger and more recognised party ....a party that only pulled about 370 votes in the presidential elections wants to rig it's way to rule...fear no de some people blood sha... He should better run for his life

In fact, the guy is the most stupid person in the world.

Except he becomes governor, he is likely a dead man. No be Wike go kill am o, it's the boys that their comrades have been killed in this entire process.

Fuckyoumod:
Lol.... Op please shut up and sit down...
Rivers elections is not about APC OR PDP supporters.

Ameachi and Wike has personal and long standing Rift to settle.

The same Wike in 2015 was using the same army police and militants to lock up APC members, writing and declaring results.

GEJ was the president.

Today the table has turned and Amaechi wants a PAYBACK.

Wike and PDP is Rigging, Amaechi and AAC is rigging. So whats all this noise about??

Rivers state is peaceful, everybody is going about the normal businesses.

Ameachi's kids are somewhere in Europe and Wikes kids are somewhere in Europe

So, Anybody that decides to get involved in this battle, should sign his will and get ready to die for nothing. I repeat anybody who is foolish enough to get involved have decided to Die and people are ready to help you meet your creator.

Let them keep fighting, when they are done the strongest will emerge, Simple.

I wish Wike Good luck if he survives this.

5 days ago on Channels TV.

Wike was saying " no man born of a woman can stop his victory" it is a challenge to APC, BUHARI, RIVERS PEOPLE AND AMAECHI.

We are not in a hurry to know the winner let them keep fighting.

Though I really like wike and dislike Amaechi, but you are correct. Let them sort themselves out.

Everyone will have their day with the Chief Justice of the Universe.

FearGodinall:
There's power rotation between the north and the south and in this case the north has fully exusted its maximum eight years therefor,the issue of presenting another northerner as pdp flag bearer due to power drunk will not work, it is left for pdp to present credibility and acceptance against looters and criminal to Nigerians.

The cycle is complete. PDP wants to restart the cycle from the north.
