Transformation agenda....

PentiumPro:
A potential running mate to Ambode? Being a female from Ikorodu and a Muslim, that may balance the ticket perfectly.

I concur with this!

CFCfan:
You say postponed? That means it will be held sometime before Wednesday?

Hope so. Let's wait till Monday!

CFCfan:
The debate was cancelled because 2 of the aspirants pulled out at the last minute

According to my source, the event was postponed due to lack of security permission!

superneutral:
GMB all the way

Yes o!

Descartes:
Mr. Don have you changed the goal post?

Lol... SE....

courage54:
May God bless the General. D journey for the liberation of Nigeria has commence, so let's join hands together to make Nigeria great again.

Sai Buhari

Amen o!

Descartes:
Just lie low and will be surprised of what will happen in the South East.

You may not understand what am driving at but will get it at later days

Just mention one thing GEJ has done in the SE, aside those ones the OP mentioned. Ok, if you cannot mention one, pls just mention half, half, half, half ooo, half!

Mogidi:
you're the new basket mouth.

Answer my question na. Can you compare the number of Bills sponsored and Motion moved by your Senator to that of Sen. Domingo?!

lacasa:
Sai Buhari


In KD, INEC is attempting to disenfranchise a lot of prospective voters for the General by shifting the PVC collection for d 4th time, it's now Monday 8th Dec.


And for the general workers that av to travel outside the state, it's going to be a herculean task to meet up.


JEGA, the poster boy for Incompetence

No amount of intimidation/frustration will stop the people of Kaduna from exercising their right.

El-Rufai for Governor (Kaduna).

Buhari for President (Federal Republic of Nigeria)!

Mogidi:
He did it for PDP, his parting gift I presume.


Bros I read where you said yesterday that Domingo might get the senate leadership position. He might be a big man in your neck of the woods but he's unknown everywhere else. You're a clown, Domingo or Domincome

Bros, why diverting na?! Lol... Domingo is not known?! Wait till June 2015 and come back and tell me that he's not known. Your Almighty Senator Magnus Odion Ugbesia cannot perform his legislative function more than him (Domingo). Who sponsored the Anti-gay Bill?! If you can do a brief Research, you'll discover that he's one of the Senators that have sponsored the highest Bills and moved the highest Motions!

Whether you like it or not, Domingo would hold a Principal Office in the Senate come next year!

As part of efforts to check Atiku’s influence in non-APC states and assist Buhari, investigations showed that the 12 governors had decided to take care of delegates from their neigbouring states at the convention on Wednesday.

Saturday PUNCH learnt that the 12 governors would pull resources together to provide hotel accommodation for the delegates, feed them and also mobilise them with money.

Apart from this, it was also learnt that the Buhari support group backed by the governors would ensure that the delegates under their care would be shielded away from Atiku canvassers. They will be locked in their hotels.

These APC Governors are on point. If Atiku thinks financial inducement would save him from humiliation come December 10th, then he's already a failure. I trust these Governors. They should ensure that a Political Prostitute doesn't get the Party's Presidential Ticket. He was humiliated in Adamawa State during the APC Governorship Primaries, and I believe there would be a repetition of the humiliation come next week.

Sir, I would advise you to spend up to 200K on each Delegate on the Presidential Primaries. After all, you gave each Delegate up to 100K during the Adamawa (your state) APC Gubernatorial Primaries and your boy Candidate, Ibrahim Yayaji, still lost to Sen. Bindow Umar!

Buhari/Tinubu would teach you the game come next week!

Mogidi:
He did it himself by defecting.

You see yourself?! I thought you wanted to say PDP did. I would have asked you: How?! When?! And Where?!

Mogidi:
Tambuwal has always been a member of APC but he chose to eat his cake and have it. Bros lets no waste our time debating a non issue. Tambuwal is no longer a member of HOR, his Tambuwal/Kebbe constituency has been declared vacant. He should concentrate on his campaign, else he loses that also.

Who declared his Seat vacant?!

berem:
God bless the General!

Sai Buhari 2015!

NO Buhari, NO Vote!

Mogidi:
There was no division in PDP except in Tambuwal's warped mind. The constitution and the national assembly would become junk and irrelevant, if any member elected on platform "A" decides there was more juicy contracts in the opposition and jumps ship claiming a phantom division. The constitution was written for a purpose and I can't see any court of competent jurisdiction agreeing with Tambuwal that there was a division in PDP.
There was division when the four governors left the PDP to form the nPDP.

If there was no division, then why did Anenih visit PDP Leaders in Sokoto State?! If there was no division, why was Tambuwal not invited for the meeting?!

The leading Presidential Aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, today collected his Permanent Voters Card (PVC) in his ward in Katsina State.

Mogidi:
Did APC press for their seats to be declared vacant? PDP is only following section 68 of the constitution.
Do you want me to post section 68 of the Nigerian constitution? It is clear as day in the constitution, PDP is only adhering to the constitution.

Go through my previous posts, you'll see that I posted the Section here yesternight for a member to interpret, unfortunately, he avoided it.

Point of correction, it's LP, not APC.

BTW, was it not stated in Section 68(1)(a) of the Constitution that a Member can defect to another Party if there's a Division in the Party of which he was previously a Member?! Can you now tell me there was no division in the PDP [Sokoto State Chapter]?!

Bros, this would have been a nice idea o, but those Insurgents/ e-fighters in the Politics Section would wanna be banned always so as to continue with their pictures posting. And you know what? They won't be banned. Anyways, e for make sense sha!

Mogidi:
To become speaker you have to be a member of HOR, by defecting, he made his seat vacant. Tambuwal is no longer a member of the house, he is an ex member.

Were the Seats of the National Assembly Members who defected alongside Mimiko, declared vacant?! If NO, then why should Tambuwal's Seat be declared vacant?!

aljharem:
Aunty berem, the rep members made him speaker and not Nigerians

The constitution of Nigeria is clear ! Once he defected, he is no longer the speaker.

Stop contradicting yourself dude.

First, you said the Members of the House of Reps made him the Speaker of the House, but not Nigerians. If they [House Members] no longer want him as their Speaker, they can impeach him (that's if they're able to get the mandatory 2/3 to do so). Since you said they made him their Speaker, then let them remove him if they wish. You said "and not Nigerians." Who are those Nigerians you're referring to?! Ain't you among the Nigerians. Are those Nigerians not you, myself and others?! You are not a member of the House of Reps, so I'll advise you to let those people who elected him also decide whether to remove him or not.

Pls, I would also want you to quote the Section of the Constitution where it's stated that "Once a Speaker defects, he's no longer a Speaker".

smsshola:
What of Katsina state...?

Aminu Bello Masari.

PDP is allergic to treating their past National Chairmen well.

dat9jaguy:
Bros are you a prophet.Your post here is my exact thinking.With Atiku as the APC candidate,my PVC would just be for identification purposes only.
GEJ is a no no for me.

I know so many people who wouldn't go out and vote if APC gives Atiku the ticket [God forbid]!

We're aware that the PDP has sent out their Supporters to canvass for Atiku so as for him to emerge our great Party's Presidential Aspirant. Why?! Because they feel he's too weak to contest against Jonathan. Before Electorates cast their votes, they would first ask themselves "Who's an achiever and who's the failure between these 2?" They would say Jonathan is an achiever compared to Atiku and give their votes to Jonathan.

I know so many Buhari Aficionados in reality, on Nairaland and on Facebook who would rather sit at the comfort of their home on that day of Election than to go to the Polls and vote Atiku, even if Buhari officially/formally begs them [his fans] to do so. To me, GEJ is bad, but Atiku is worse.

It seems Nda-Isaiah is ready for a Consensus Candidate. If other Aspirants like Atiku, Okorocha and Kwankwaso agree to step down. Buhari would emerge. Nda-Isaiah has said if all the Aspirants agree, he has no problem with that. The only problem would be Atiku. But if he still insists on going to the field for primaries, he should be ready of humiliation once again. Verbum sat sapienti (a word is enough for the wise).

Buhari should first emerge as the Candidate before serious campaigns commence.

Mogidi:
Translation: I would like to formally kill @akinambode on his declaration as winner of yesterday’s primaries.

One of the Thieves Around Nigeria (TAN) is here again. Are you among the Snipers that are getting ready to kill/destroy after APC is declared the Winner of the 2015 General Election?!

Alezy:
suswam shud be the first person 2 be arrested by the efcc...if u av ever bin 2 benue were senate president is from, u will cry 4 the people there.

That's the more reason Benue should embrace Change!

Read that section again from beginning to end.
There are some provisors.
Our politicians are selfish, don't be deceived they are all fighting for themselves.

Bros, I've just copied the Section out now. You can now tell me the Section/Subsection where it's stated that those holding Positions in the Senate/House of Reps, or as the case may be, should vacate their Seats or their Seats be declared Vacant or Security should be withdrawn!

68. (1) A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in the House of which he is a member if -

(a) he becomes a member of another legislative house.

(b) any other circumstances arise that, if he were not a member of the Senate or the House of Representatives, would cause him to be disqualified for election as a member;

(c) he ceases to be a citizen of Nigeria;

(d) he becomes President, Vice-President, Governor, Deputy Governor or a Minister of the Government of the Federation or a Commissioner of the Government of a State or a Special Adviser.

(e) save as otherwise prescribed by this Constitution, he becomes a member of a commission or other body established by this Constitution or by any other law.

(f) without just cause he is absent from meetings of the House of which he is a member for a period amounting in the aggregate to more than one-third of the total number of days during which the House meets in any one year;

(g) being a person whose election to the House was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected;

Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored; or

(h) the President of the Senate or, as the case may be, the Speaker of the House of Representatives receives a certificate under the hand of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission stating that the provisions of section 69 of this Constitution have been complied with in respect of the recall of that member.

(2) The President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, shall give effect to the provisions of subsection (1) of this section, so however that the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House of Representatives or a member shall first present evidence satisfactory to the House concerned that any of the provisions of that subsection has become applicable in respect of that member.

(3) A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall be deemed to be absent without just cause from a meeting of the House of which he is a member, unless the person presiding certifies in writing that he is satisfied that the absence of the member from the meeting was for a just cause.

Also note that Anenih met with some Party Leaders in the State, but Tambuwal was never invited. If there was no division as you alleged, why was Tambuwal not invited for the Meeting being the Number 3 Citizen?!

Ok. Since you've modified it, I want you to provide the link to the original picture of the wedding, which must be dated 2012!

PhockPhockMan, you forgot to reply this?!
