What is this one saying

Meanwhile I'm more interested with the pic.

The other guy looks like our former president ,late Yar'Adua R.I.P..

Bros, you can lie o. We're talking of a recent picture, you're there crooning late Yaradua. Why the lies now?!

dkronicle:
na new thang ? something he drinks like water

When did he start drinking it?! Did he drink it with the 'nomads' when he wasn't contesting?!

It's no longer a news that one of the PDP Governorship Aspirants in the forthcoming Nasarawa State Guber. Election, once described the defection of some PDP members to the APC as nomadic. He likened it to that of the Fulanis, thus describing them as nomads. But today, he has suddenly crowned himself as a Grass-root Politician. He's now seen everywhere drinking 'Fura Da Nono' with the so-called Fulani nomads.

Here is the statement he made sometimes ago

“I want to urge journalists to begin to monitor these movements more so as some of them have been moving for years now, they have not stopped. They are like the Fulani nomads. They move from one party to another without shame. It shouldn’t be something that we should cherish,” Mr. Maku had said.

The nomads, usually of Fulani ethnicity, are cattle breeders who regularly migrate from one place to the other in search for food and shelter for their cattle.

Egift, pls can you remind him that Omisore did more than this in Ekiti, but massively lost on the day of the election?! He ate popcorn, he ate corns with his 2 hands, he was seen on a commercial motorcycle, in a bid to be elected as their Governor, but he still massively lost to the Incumbent Hope he'll still continue drinking with the so-called nomads after the election come February?!

frankyychiji:
Buhari will be pelted with pure water and stones before being lynched if he ever steps foot on eastern soil to campaign.

What's this one saying?! Off point!

maslong:
well said bro, the old man will cry a river because he will first remember the loan he collect collected and frustration of loosing losing an investment will kill him

These are the kinda people who support GEJ. They can barely spell, yet they support him blindly. Anyway, we can see the transformation agenda in the educational sector. Little wonder, you do not know the difference between lose and loose, and present/past tense!

aljharem:
APigCshit change!!

Are your paymasters so daft that they couldn't give you the list of Governors in Nigeria, the states they govern and the Political Parties they belong?! FYI, Shema is a PDP Governor.

ZKOSOSO:
Was on raypower 100.5fm while driving around Maitama axis but was glad that AIT/raypower did what it had to do.
The trash cominig out of Oyegun as warning to FG were just outright treasons.
Nigerians are wiser now than last months!!
No Wonder they have very low crowd.
APC pls tell Nigerians what u will do better than GEJ when u eventually win in the graveyards!
Not insulting pdp, gej n pej and praising boko haram for a job well done will make me vote u!
Once again, thank you AIT!!

Balderdash.

Ishilove:

You can click on my profile and click on my Tambuwal's thread and see for yourself that you were mentioned, but ignored it.

GoatluckJonafuck:

bigass:
If APC like make dem field Ojukwu Ibos will never vote for them

That's what I'm trynna say!

tochukwuifeduba:
i'm a detribalized Nigeria. As a writer i need to always take an Objective stand in every national issue

Considering the fact that your brothers believe that Amaechi betrayed Jonathan by leaving the PDP, do you think they would cast their votes for him if APC presents him as their Vice Presidential Candidate?!

egift:
Chairman no vex. At least you for create "Today Na My Birthday" thread, abi you don't want to allocate money for Refreshments?

HBD and more fruitful years ahead.

Thanks very much, boss of life. @bold, lmao. Maybe that one go be later!

pendy79:

Lol... Real me sir. Thanks very much!

When has Ifeduba become the E-APC Spokesman?!

berem:
Happy birthday Don!

Thanks ma!

I also noticed that too. The Gombe jungle justice' threads were on this board earlier yesterday, but she created hers later and moved it to the homepage. Not too good.

I don't know what's preventing this from hitting the homepage: www.nairaland.com/2003907/tambuwal-withdrew-presidential-race-larger

BTW, una no like me at all o . Even common happy birthday una no fit tell me. *vexing* !

soe:
Wait a minute.
Did you just say Oshiomole is not clean? How is that?

You shouldn't have quoted the guy cos he doesn't know what he's saying.

He said: “You will recall that at every stage of our existence, there were prophets of doom, particularly coming from our opponent, from the other side.

Sir, we know the Prophets and the prophetess. They've been predicting the downfall of APC, yet APC is still waxing stronger.

APC will fail to be registered as a political party - It was registered.

APC will collapse after their National Convention - It's still waxing stronger.

Presidential Primaries will mark the end of APC - Sorry, your prophecy is doomed!

NgeneUkwenu:
Seun, Obinoscopy! Should we leave here for you guys?

That's what they're trynna insinuate!

Barman, declare Orijin and Smirnoff Ice for everybody as my birthday gift for them abeg. Na just 20+, if I dey clock 30, I go upgrade am to dem Gulder, 33. Thanks for your understanding. ! If I come back later, I'll pay for everything!

Abagworo:
Yes you did well. Pave way for Buhari to come and save us from corruption and gangsterism in government.

Yes o!

slimfit1:
You know you are a useless speaker who was only representing his family go to hell.

Bros, you and Tambuwal get personal disagreement?! Easy na!

idumuose:
A million apologies.I was surprised you posted that news and i did not look beyond that.i did not know your account was cloned by some unserious fellow.Let me edit my post immediately.
But i can't spot the difference between your account and the one cloned.They are the same oo.

Bros, the difference is in the L and I!

NgeneUkwenu:
So Tinubu did not dump Buhari as alleged by the SaTANs? Interesting!

Sai Buhari!

Down Jonathan!

Tinubu had earlier denied ever dumping Buhari for Tambuwal.

dailypost.ng/2014/11/17/apc-ticket-tinubu-denies-dumping-buhari/

arewafederation:
SaTANist, what do you have to say about this development?

Like Omenka said, they'd go back to their laptop and start their usual attack on Buhari. They thought APC would be so clueless to give their Presidential Ticket to somebody like Tambuwal who still needs to go learn more as a Governor. If he had tried to still continue with his aspiration, what befell Ribadu in 2011 would have also befallen him. Because they're both in the same league politically!

#SaiBuhari

^^^2015 will determine!

Meanwhile, Ishilove, you know na!

idumuose:
Amen to your prayers

Bros, you fall my hand aswear. I'm surprised you ain't blasting this guy for cloning my account, rather supporting him for a job well done. Thanks sir!

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, who earlier on Tuesday announced his withdrawal from the presidential race of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said this evening he did so for the good of the party.

In a press statement, he appealed to his associates, colleagues, supporters, admirers and friends nationwide to show understanding of his decision to drop out of the presidential contest as a sacrifice for the cohesion and unity of the APC.

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal


“I am suspending my participation in the presidential race for now because I do not have any inordinate ambition to occupy any office,” he explained.  “Nigeria is a country too great to sacrifice on the altar of partisan politics and personal ambition.”

Tambuwal, who only recently decamped from the Peoples Democratic Party, noted that he joined the APC to enhance and build, and that the decision to withdraw from the race was not easy. 

“I pledge my loyalty to our party the APC and cooperation with my uncles and senior brothers and colleagues who are already in the race for the APC Presidential ticket : I refer to;  General Muhamadu Buhari, Alh Atiku Abubakar, Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,  Governor Rochas Okorocha and Mr Sam Ndah- Isaiah. There is no doubt that they are all eminently qualified.”

He told his supporters across Nigeria who believe he is that instrument for the change desired by Nigerians that their faith is noble and will endure until Nigeria is rescued from the clutches of institutionalized corruption, gross incompetence, greed and divisiveness.

“I charge you to be comforted that your strength lies not in the limited capacity of a single leader, but rather in the collective capacity of the millions of great citizens of this nation. One day, and I believe not too long away, this formidable collective capacity will be ignited and the good Lord will lift Nigeria high up where she belongs.”

Earlier today, sources told SaharaReporters Tambuwal will seek the governorship of Sokoto, his home state.  

 
Full text of the statement:

PRESS STATEMENT BY RT HON AMINU WAZIRI TAMBUWAL,CFR, SPEAKER, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA, ON HIS POLITICAL FUTURE ON 18TH NOVEMBER, 2014:

PROTOCOLS.

A few days ago, precisely on Friday the 14th of November,2014 a group of friends , associates, colleagues and admirers  cutting across all ages, ethnic, social, religious, political and geographical divides presented to me the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms for me to participate in the presidential primaries of the All Progressive Congress ( APC ) for the 2015 Presidential Election.

2. On that auspicious occasion, being profoundly humbled, I requested for a little more time to conclude my last round of the series of nationwide consultations
which indeed I was just about to conclude.

3. Let me state that the 14th November event was neither an accidental nor sudden happenstance, rather it was another high point of similar goodwill surprises I had experienced in the last two years when I started receiving in audience, colleagues, individuals,groups and delegations of prominent Nigerians on this subject matter

4. I wish to seize this occasion to commend, most highly, these patriotic and selfless colleagues, admirers, individuals and groups for their sacrifice, diligence and  single-mindedness in the pursuit of what they honestly believe is in the best interest of our fatherland. I am fully aware of the physical, financial and intellectual resources all of you have expended in this regard besides the sheer volume of valuable time and the travel risk of crisscrossing to compare notes and confirm projections. Indeed I can not thank you enough.

5. When upon genuine conviction I decided to commence extensive consultations towards taking a decision as to whether or not to participate in the contest for the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it was not to actualize a personal ambition,but rather to actualize our dream for a new Nigeria.

6.  Ever since news of the possibility of my participation  in the presidential contest got into the public domain it has generated monumental interest, analyses and commentary. I have also, both personally and through prominent leaders across party lines and beyond, consulted extensively and I must say that I am overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and interest. On my part and with the greatest sense of modesty and responsibility I wish to assure Nigerians that I am fully prepared, ready, willing,determined, available and armed with the requisite plans, programs and ability, to undertake the great mission of rescuing our dear country from the clutches of institutionalized corruption,gross incompetence, greed and divisiveness. I am prepared for the great task of rescuing Nigeria from the security problems, the scandalous youth unemployment, and the  economic and social malaise that plague her.

7. Given the opportunity, ours would be a clean, corrupt- free, competent and purposeful government : to deal with the inexplicable paradoxes that have held us hostage for over a hundred years : the paradox of ever growing abject poverty in the midst of plenty; the paradox of ever growing menace of corruption in the face of the collective capacity of Nigerians to eradicate same, the paradox of decaying infrastructure especially epileptic power supply in the face of abundant natural resources; the paradox of glaring internal insecurity in the face of a gallant military,police and other security agencies that have excelled in peace keeping and enforcement abroad. Indeed a government that would deploy extraordinary ways and means where such becomes inevitable within the ambit of the law.

8. The problems I speak about are real and glaring. Over the past three and a half years of presiding over 359 equals, I often had occasion to discuss peculiar constituency problems with my colleagues but most importantly I have visited over 300 hundred Federal constituencies across the country and seen for myself abject poverty of our people particularly the majority of the population that reside in the rural areas, I have experienced, first hand, total absence of essential social facilities and decaying infrastructure, where they exist at all, and observed hopelessness in the eyes of millions of citizens. I deeply feel the pulse of dejection of our people.

9.  I am convinced that with the progressive spirit and teamwork these objectives are attainable under an All Progressive Congress ( APC ) administration.

 10.  I have carefully considered the the concerns expressed by some of our leaders, whom I deeply respect and whose support and counsel I enjoy,to the effect that my entry into the presidential race at this point may necessitate  having to rework some equations on the political chessboard of the party.

 11. Having consulted widely, taking into consideration the concerns of some elders of the party, I have decided to suspend my participation in the presidential contest for now. I have done so as a sacrifice for the the cohesion and unity of the APC. I am suspending my participation in the presidential race for now because I do not have any inordinate ambition to occupy any office. Nigeria is a country too great to sacrifice on the altar of partisan politics and personal ambition. What any one becomes in life is exclusively in the hands of God. Only God gives power to whoever he pleases.

12.  I came into the APC to enhance and build, Therefore in the interest of our great party the APC and indeed in the overriding national interest I wish to appeal to all my associates, colleagues, supporters, admirers and friends nationwide to show some understanding. It has not been easy coming to this decision and I very well  understand the frustration, disappointment and disbelief of many who have committed so much to the project including sacrificing not only their physical, financial and intellectual resources but indeed their personal ambitions in the 2015 electoral contest.

13. I pledge my loyalty to our party the APC and cooperation with my uncles and senior brothers and colleagues who are already in the race for the APC Presidential ticket : I refer to;  General Muhamadu Buhari, Alh Atiku Abubakar, Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso,  Governor Rochas Okorocha and Mr Sam Ndah- Isaiah. There is no doubt that they are all eminently qualified.

14. To all my associates, colleagues, friends,admirers across Nigeria who have faith that I am that instrument for the change we all desire, I assure you that your faith is not in vain, it is noble and will endure until this great nation of ours is rescued from the clutches of institutionalized corruption, gross incompetence, greed and divisiveness. I charge you to be comforted that your strength lies not in the limited capacity of a single leader, but rather in the collective capacity of the millions of great citizens of this nation. One day, and I believe not too long away, this formidable collective capacity will be ignited and the good Lord will lift Nigeria high up where she belongs.

15. God bless you all and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
