Why is there always double speak with APC

APC need to stop their back door selection, there should be a level playing field for everyone, the money being shared is being done by both the Atiku and GMB camps.

Because of his good works other aspirants decided to back him to continue till 2019. Quote me wrong and experience failure like GMB in 2015

I m still in support of every thing going on.

IVM taxis are on the way

Ymodulus:
Rubbish!

What if the man stated in 1981 that he was from Ilaje in Ondo State? That is 33 years ago; then he moved & settled in Epe, Lagos State maybe 15 years ago. He has been paying his tax, contributing to development (economical as well as politically) within his immediate Epe adopted home since then; why should some fools think he has no right of voting & being voted for in any political position of his choice within Lagos in particular and Nigeria in general? Is he no longer a Nigerian, even if he originally came from Ilaje in Ondo State? Though I hate Nigeria corrupt political class in general, but Nigerians should reason like humans for once in their backward thinking life!

. The case is that of perjury which is how come Ambode filled Ondo state as his state of origin in his Jamb form and Lagos state in his governorship form. Next time read well before you comment please.

Obiano is the best thing that has happened to Anambra.

Good omen

If anyone still harboured any doubts about PDP and APC being one and the same group of unprincipled 搇ootocrats� and gangster politicians with essentially the same attributes, that doubt should now be dispelled by the recent decamping of the speaker of the House of Representatives Aminu Tambuwal from PDP to the APC. This is a man who for the past four years has been the speaker of the House of Representatives and thus the number four man under the platform of the PDP.
With such a powerful post he could have initiated a lot of progressive legislation and reforms particularly in the areas of corruption, security, education, youth unemployment, social welfare amongst others if he was truly an agent of change. He could also have unilaterally and symbolically given up much of the scandalous salary and allowances that he and other legislators unjustifiably collect when much of the nation is reeking in damnable poverty and lack of infrastructure.
But a look at the legislative record of Aminu Tambuwal would show that there is not a single legislation to his name, neither has he directly or indirectly initiated any social change. Indeed when Farouk Lawan a member of the House of Representatives was caught on camera in a bribery scam, Aminu Tambuwal was one of those who supported him and ensured that he remained in the house. 營n four years, not only did Aminu Tambuwal fail to use his powerful position to initiate any change, he was studiously on the side of corruption and the status quo. 燭he same man who as number four man has no achievement to his name has now decamped to the APC and is busy blaming the PDP for the ills of the nation. How can such an individual be taken seriously by any right thinking person? If Aminu Tambuwal who held the number four position under the platform of the PDP neither initiated any change nor achieved anything, is it by joining the APC that he will suddenly become an agent of change?
Aminu Tambuwal is a poster child of the ultimate hypocrisy, deceit and dilemma that the APC represents as about 70 percent of their members come from the same PDP that they routinely blame for the nations ills. The fact that the APC which pretends to stand for change is willing to recruit predominantly from the same group of PDP misrulers that have held the nation hostage is reflective of how much they share the same fundamental values and character that is defined only by lack of principles, opportunism, looting and insensitivity to the poor. Charity should ideally begin at home and for a party like the APC that claims they are all about bringing change and ending the agony of the beleaguered masses, problem is; there is nothing in their programme/ideology, antecedents in the states they control and character of the individuals who make-up the party to suggest such change.
The APC governors have not demonstrated any fundamental difference in the states they govern, nor demonstrated any interest in the impoverished masses; not in the least with characters like Kayode Fayemi the former APC governor of Ekiti state who built a luxurious governor抯 mansion in excess of a whopping 3 billion naira and bought individual foams for more than 50 million naira each while the masses sunk deeper into poverty. PDP governors who like Aminu Tambuwal decamped to the APC have nothing to show in their respective states that indicates any difference. From Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano state who also happens to be a bigot to the undiplomatic, irrational and power drunk Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers state, all there is; is absolute failure. How then can governors who in the past eight years failed to make any meaningful impact in the states they governed suddenly shed their true colours just because they joined APC? The APC must have ascribed unquantifiable stupidity to Nigerians to believe that they can engage in such sheer hypocrisy/ deceit and still expect to be taken seriously.
There is hardly any Nigerian who is not aghast at the nation抯 rapacious leadership and misrule, this should ordinarily make it easier for a platform that genuinely represents change to galvanise the masses against the ruling party and score an electoral victory. But alas, for all the noise about change the APC has done just the opposite of what is expected from a real agent of change. Beyond criticising President Goodluck Jonathan and his ruling party, the APC has never managed to produce any practical, comprehensive and inspiring manifesto that proffers solutions that breaks radically from the status quo.
In the national assembly, APC members have never proposed any progressive laws to combat corruption and other vices as a strategy to distinguish themselves. The states under their control have yet to demonstrate any collective ideology, curb corruption nor show any exceptionalism in good governance as a prototype for the larger society. Indeed some APC states have furthered tribalism and targeted the poor through the deportation of 爌oor non-natives 爁rom Lagos state and 爐he public rebuke of a wretched 爓idow who was asked to 揼o and die� by governor Adams Oshiomole of Edo state just because her poverty consigned her to trading on the streets.
Apart from harbouring known bigots like Rabiu Kwankwanso, Muhammadu Buhari et all 爓hose ethno-religious fundamentalism 燼re well known and other Boko Haram sympathisers in their fold, how can a party that broke the record of deporting Nigerians from Lagos state and elsewhere bring progress to a nation that already suffers from considerable ethnic and religious divisions? 營n the area of corruption, Bola Tinubu (the godfather) who happens to be the leader of a significant bloc of APC is widely considered one of the most corrupt Nigerians.
Not only does he control much of the finances of whole states, he is reputed to be the owner of a construction firm that built a tolled bridge that is ripping off Lagosians travelling to and from Lekki. 燗llegations that he was a drug baron also hang in his skin. 燗ll around us the consequence of corruption is self-evident, because of it Nigeria lacks even the most basic infrastructure, while tribalism has widened ethnic divisions and ensured that becoming a true nation remains a pipe dream. In light of these realities how can the APC that not only agglomerates established looters but also assembles well known bigots bring any change to Nigeria?
A party that has an ideal for change would not only show a radical difference in governance in the jurisdictions they control but would also strive to recruit only honest and proven individuals into their fold. But the closer you scrutinise the APC, the more you see an assemblage of thieves, bigots and rabid self-serving opportunists. Change is always a product of sacrifice which can never be given by those who put their self-interest above the common good. The APC has proven so far to be driven by the personal ambitions of those who seek power for self-serving purposes.
There is thus no fundamental difference between the APC and the PDP as both are two sides of the same bad coin made-up of self-serving opportunistic politicians seeking relevance and power for the purposes of personal aggrandizement. A Leopard cannot change its colours, in the same vein a Nigerian politician will not and cannot shed his or her essential attributes and character just because he or she changed party. Whilst the Nigerian masses genuinely seek change, I doubt if they will choose such change from an opportunistic crowd that offers nothing but a continuation of the status quo and maybe even worse. Replacing a thief with a thief is just not an option. The nation needs a genuine vehicle of change with nation builders and selfless leaders; neither the PDP nor the APC is that vehicle!

In a bold move to give the three leading cities of Anambra State an outlook of modernity and shore up their social index, the governor of Anambra State, Chief Willie Obiano has launched three landmark initiatives that will change the face of the State.
The initiatives are the Anambra State City Cab Scheme, Operation Clean & Healthy Anambra (OCHA Brigade) and the Anambra State Traffic Management Agency (ATMA). Although Anambra State with its three major cities and pockets of urbanizing towns is the most developed state in the South East, residents have always complained of the absence of organized intra and inter-city taxis that will facilitate the movement of commuters inside and between the cities.
Launching the first phase of the Cab Scheme with 200 taxis at the Alex Ekwueme Square at the weekend, Governor Obiano explained that the idea was to ensure that the state would have an effective transportation system that would lift it into a world class business environment.
He further maintained that the introduction of the Cab Scheme is expected to slash the unemployment rate and eventually contribute to a growth in the Internally Generated Revenue of the state.
揟he City Cab Scheme is aimed at empowering the youths of Anambra by offering them an opportunity to own brand new taxi cabs via a hire purchase scheme,� he revealed, further pointing out that the scheme has a 24 hours call centre for residents to call the operators for pick-ups at any time of day or night. www.elombah.com

The former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi has been appointed the Deputy National Director General of Jonathan's campaign team.
What's more? As the second in command, he is in charge of South-East, South-South and South- West.
The news was made public in the9 pm network news of Nigeria Television Authority [NTA].
This is coming on the heels of the former Governors sudden defection from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), a party staunchly rooted in the South East, to the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in October.
Although many analyst and political observers saw Obi’s defection as preparing himself for a plum Job with President Jonathan, Mr. Peter Obi maintained that his former party has been made into “an empty shell without an inner core of shared values” hence his reason for defection.
The former Governor said he had seen enough of violation of what APGA stood for, and therefore cannot continue to stay in a place which had departed from the original course and where clearly he was no wanted.
A once diehard member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), and staunch ally of late Biafran warlord, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, Mr. Obi was reputed to have hitherto declined many overtures from other parties to defect to their stunned political circles.
Reacting to his to his defection, Nigerian Ambassador to Spain and widow of the late Biafran leader, Mrs Bianca Ojukwu, has expressed shock and disappointment among others, over Mr. Obi’s defection from All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, to PDP.
“It is undeniable that Peter Obi made immense contributions to APGA. I remain proud of his achievements, as governor of Anambra State. His exit diminishes us, and many of his supporters and grassroots crusaders are disappointed and demoralised” She had said.
Mrs Ojukwu also described the action of the former governor as a betrayal of her late husband and renowned Igbo leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu who had such great trust in him and his assurances that he, Obi, would always stand by APGA.
Reacting to Mr. Obi’s latest job, some commentators and opinionists saw it as finally revealing the real reason why the ex-Governor actually defected to the PDP.
“So Victor Umeh was right afterall, that he resigned from APGA because of his new post as the second in command of Goodluck’s Campaign” Said a commentator, Mc Original Udoagwa
Another commentator, Nwafor Uche said, “That’s good for him, what do I start to gain from that appointment? Biko koro m ihe ozo.”
Though not many every one expressed pessimism with Mr. Obi’s many appointment, Mr. Ezaike Kenechi Ekwulobia has berated critics of the ex-Governor saying they would live to see his tremendous achievement in future.
In his words, “My prayer is that all Peter Obi’s enemies will live to see what Peter Obi will be in this country.”
With the latest Political calculation of President Goodluck Jonathan and by extension the PDP, appointing Peter Obi as the Deputy DG of Jonathan’s Campaign train, means the man is in charge of the South East and South South, thus expected to poll a tremendous amount of his supporters from his former party to the PDP.

Why should a birthday bash be turned to a political rally by Oyegun of APC, I still can't remember if this man's name is mentioned in the annals of worthy leaders in Edo state.

nonen:
Yea. Fashola has the local logic correct. However there's an expected increase in fuel pump price due to the dollar-naira exchange rate disparity. Since the naira is losing weight against the dollars, the importers will have to pay more to import the product. Fashola logic would have worked only if we refine the crude here.

Good answer, waiting for barcanista to come and counter it with his own black market analysis

The topic and story is misleadinng, in the begining it was said Gej staunch supporters lost out then later at the end of the report it was reported that thugs held the electoral commitee chairman holdstage which led to the postponement.

barcanista:
This is a victorious judgement to the society at large. Obi and not FasholÀ should be blamed for the fate of those destitutes

shut up, how old are you? Don't discuss about something above your age and pay grade.

I think they have a case to answer with the way APC doesn't want the matter to receive adequate attention, the APC I know would have demonstrated in every nooks and cranny of this country

omenka:
What kind of useless piece of misleading article is this?? Why is the op making it look as though the MPs asked these questions themselves when it is a Nigerian asking them??


By the way, ONE simple question the man from Otuoke hasn't been able to answer since 2011 is: what accounted for the astronomical rise in subsidy payments in 2011?? Did the number of cars in the country quadruple?? Did the number of generators quadruple?? Did the number of stoves quadruple?? Did Nigeria's population quadruple?? What was it??!!

Crooks.

can u kindly answer the question and God will punish you if you answer the question with another question

Why are all these APC members so violent.

This is way. Below average,
