They are just snapping with her because she's star actress not because they support buhari.
See as she and her husband dey scam buhari dem go campaign they no carry campaign material not even a small flyer as small as tract.
Make we dey see how this one wan translate to votes for buhari.

This congratulory speech is just like medicine after death after publicly humiliating Sanwo calling a mental case and accusing him of fraud and also fighting party leaders and now failing woeful in the elections despite camping national officials.
It's safe to say Ambo is a Gone.

Ebri just scammed Ambode otherwise why the Ambode go and vote in Epe for the same election after chasing journalists away while the elections were covered by the same press in other parts of Lagos.

Anyone thinking Buhari will risk his 1.9m APC votes in Lagos just for Ambode that has no political value has another coming.

Ambo is a Gone.

Same that led to GEJ downfall is what's happening to Ambode. You don't fight the powers that made you and start listening to advice from people who can't even win a ward election.
That apart, the current status of Lagos despite the enormous resources at his disposal leaves much to be desired. Plain and simple Ambode is anti masses, destroyed PSP, increased survey charges from 70,000 to 350,000, tried to jack up vehicle registration to 10,000, added radio license fee to vehicle registration, increased taxes on market and tried jacked up land use charge by almost 500 percent if not the intervention of the Ikeja NBA branch who fought him to a standstill.
Don't want to about all substandard rehabilitated roads and the indiscriminate and haphazard construction going on with the attendant destruction on the existing road all in view of creating BRT median in the middle of road.
Yes he has tried in Epe but that's just only local government out of 19. Let him go and relax, second term is not a right, it is earned and the fact is that his party members don't feel he has earned it how much more we Lagosians that bear the brunt of his maladministration.

Don't understand all the first fuss about Ambode, let him convince his ordinary party members to give him a second term before engaging Lagosians on the need to vote again.
All those clamouring for him are not APC carrying cards members of Lagos.
It's just like applying for job in MTN, u write the exams prepared for them and pass not by writing the exam for glo.

longerthroat:
The PDP leadership surrendered Osun.

When it came to crunch time, the PDP let Adeleke down. He must have felt like an orphan

Almost everyone knew Omisore would be vital. You can ask the US embassy. The PDP sent no one. Saraki went with Okupe who is just coming out of retirement. Saraki's entourage had looked rich until the APC visited Omisore.

The APC showed desperation. And put its birthright on the line. The party chairman was there. 6 governors went with him. They must have seen the chickens offered at that shrine by the PDP. And they must have offered cows.

Even if Omisore were a pastor.

The PDP chairman was in Wike's boyquarters in Port Harcourt. Wike himself was not interested. He is peering down his political microscope looking for the most painful ways to deal with the party if they mess with him.

Okowa didnt show up. Fayose was working out his exit route. Even that refugee , the governor of Kwara, didn't show up.

They left it to Davido and his uncle.

The APC meticulously took back Lasun whose intimidating influence in Orolu LGA was proved last week. While the APC patched up its net, the PDP ran helter skelter, from pillar to post and then to court.

It was injury time.

Even Fani Kayode who is from Ife was nowhere to be seen. He must have been in Abuja. From there he was calling Omisore. And must have warned him not to join hands with the Fulani jihadists! He saw no need to lend a helping hand in knocking at doors for Adeleke. But he will take to twitter today and let out emotions.

Where was Ben Bruce? Where was his love for the party?
He was tweeting it from Abuja while Ganduje was sleeping in Ile Ife.

We can forgive Dino Melaye. He is not sure of his own ticket yet. But where were Gbenga Daniel and Atiku?

Atiku was needed in Orolu!

These social media noises cant help anyone.

The leaders of the PDP failed Adeleke. And they failed him big time.

But you know what ? They will blame it on Buhari.

You couldn't have even put than this, the irony of it all is that the PDP presidential ticket they are all fighting for is no the paper they can't easily even win just only seven polling units of less than 3000 in just four local governments. How much can they even think of winning a whole country with millions of voters.
Infact they just forget about the presidency cause they can't win it.

This definitely an obvious sham of an election, time for the courts to decide. I see another Aregbe Oyinlola scenario loading.

It's not u.s secret service, u.s secret service agents are mainly for presidential protection and treasury. It the diplomatic security service of the state department which are responsible for the security of visiting dignitaries and the security of the state department officials like the secretary of state.
Dignitaries to the U.N are under the protection of united nations security separate from United states government.
Take note.

Why this MURIC guy again, Ede has the largest concentration of Muslims in Osun state but still voted for Adeleke so what's he's stress. Let him face his brothers the boko haram who has never condemned once since they started their attacks.

Sarki u still get mouth to yearn.
Anyway I see BMC crew no dey sleep since 4.30 a.m when nobi say u dey resume work for island from Alimosho.
Anyway we here for Ife still sleep that time now after six we dey begin wake up.
Stop posting fake news Omisore will never work for APC Baba Afusa and Tinubu.
You can that to the bank cos come tomorrow it's Adeleke dancing into state house.

INEC just compounded it's predicament by this admission. It means that all the other 29 local governments area are subjective if they can't easily sum up the votes of single local government. This is actually a good grounds for cancellation of the election results forget all the excuse of inconclusive due to polling units.
Imagine this scenario in presidential election, God help us all.

INEC just sealed it fate if it can admit that it's wrongly entered votes for one local government how can be sure that they didn't wrongly allocated votes in the other 29 local government.
This is serious ground for cancellation of the whole election. It simply INEC is not capable of organising elections forget all the explanation of cancelled votes if they can't do simple summation of just one local government and they want to conduct a presidential election imagine this scenario in presidential election GOd help us.

lordtosan:
INEC HAS THE POWER TO DECLARE AN ELECTION INCONCLUSIVE.

Will make this as brief as I can while ensuring facts are not traded in exchange.


What's the actual position of the law?

Pursuant to pages 22 – 23, Paragraph 4, Section N 2015 INEC Guidelines issued pursuant to Section 153 of the Electoral Act, 2010 (as amended), INEC is empowered to declare election inconclusive where the margin of victory is less than the number of registered voters in cancelled Polling Units.

This power of INEC to declare an election inconclusive under the above provision has been upheld by the Supreme court in the case of Hon James Abiodun Faleke v Independent National Electoral Commission & Anor with the appeal no: SC. 648/2016 delivered in September 2016.

One of the issues for determination was whether the court below was right when it held that the 1st respondent acted correctly in applying the guidelines in the Manual for Electoral Officers (updated version) to resolve the conundrum that had arisen on the 21st of November 2015 and in holding that the announcement of the election as inconclusive is not contrary to Sections 179(2) and 181(1) of the 1999 Constitution.

The supreme held to wit:

“The Constitution in Section 153(1)(f) & (i) provides for the establishment of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), which, pursuant to paragraph 15 of Part 1 of the Third Schedule thereto, has power inter alia to “(a) organize, undertake and supervise all elections to the offices of the President and Vice President, the Governor and Deputy Governor of a State and the membership of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the House- of Assembly of each State of the Federation; and(i) to carry out such other functions as be conferred upon it by an Act of the National Assembly.” Pursuant to Section 160(1) of the Constitution, INEC has the power, by rules or otherwise to regulate its own procedure or confer powers and impose duties on any officer or authority for the purpose of discharging its function.” PER K. M.O.KEKERE-EKUN, J.S.C

Flowing from the above decision of the supreme court, it is very crystal clear INEC is empowered to declare an election inconclusive pursuant to the relevant provisions of the INEC guidelines. The exercise of this power was seen in both Kogi Gubernatorial election and that of Imo State gubernatorial election where INEC declared the elections inconclusive. Note that APC in both states were winning and had infact won before INEC declared it inconclusive for the same margin reasons. Imo election was conducted during the administration of PDP(Good luck Jonathan) while Kogi was conducted after APC won the presidential election and had taken over lower.

For Saraki, a seasoned law maker, Senate president and presidential aspirant to have said INEC had no such power leaves much to be desired and it tells a lot about the dubious and ignorant nature of Saraki.

So is Inec electoral act superior to the constitution. If the framers of the constitution wanted Inec electoral act to guide declaration of the winner of both gubernatorial and presidential election they wouldn't have stipulated the guidelines for announcing a winner and also conducting a rerun.

The fact is any law not in tandem with the constitution is null and void of the part in conflict.
The supreme court judges erred in their judgement in those cases decided and this understandable considering it's an electoral case.
Amechi case against PDP comes to mind where after giving judgement, they stated the case must be used as precedent.

The Kogi case was used to deny faleke of his victory after Audu's death. If I may ask why has Inec not declared Kogi senatorial by election inconceivable considering that the number of cancelled votes is more than victory margin.

I believe it's time to test the constitution again at the supreme court. Inec guidelines can only work for senatorial, representative and states of assembly not gubernatorial and presidential elections.

Surelay:
Am not sure that we are ready for change in this country ,a visible performing governor bcs he didn't share money meant for over 22 millions lagosean for less than 500 exco ,naa wa oooo

Yes but he shared for himself and cronies, let his cronies vote him.

Just imagine what this reverend is saying because of some meagre donations to the church and thanksgiving by Ambode.
it is now that they can organise 21 vigil, where was he when Ambode was dealing with his fellow clergy. He couldn't intervene then or organise vigil abi.

So Ambode can complete world class roads in less than three years in Epe but cannot complete a single good road in Alimosho except the one that leads to his elder brother house. Let him face direct primaries if he's sure of performance. All roads he constructed has all been destroyed by rain. Enough of bus stops and garages when he not contesting NURTW post.

Abeg which wan be SWAT again for Nigeria civil defence even police sef no get away

Now they can declare after Adeosun is no more around to blow whistle on their remittance meanwhile what of the under recovery loss from subsidy hope is accounted for in the surplus.

But how come Aregbe security has not been recalled back now why Fayose was stripped of his own security some days to election.
Hmmm

Yes he did but didn't even pass a single exam that why no affiliation or medals to his title. No FWC PSS or even MNI. Even Babangida and dark googled Abacha had awards and affiliations to their rank indicating that they passed the required exams.

This means that he that he didn't pass staff college Jagi so he shouldn't have been promoted to general cadre. No war college or even kuru institute of policy.
Don't get me started on those overseas military courses which is just attendance not test of academic or military knowledge.

sureheaven:
Monkey boy like you, let Him show it na, period. If he shows us we go kip quite

U are a fool, as in the biggest fool on earth...
He attended.....Nigerian Military Training College now NDA. Yet he has no result, He also attended Mons Officer Cadet School U.S. Army War College. Yet he has no result and they didn’t deny him.
2nd lieutenant, 1st lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, brigadier and major general.


I don’t need to argue with u. The fact is u and those claiming he has no result are purely ingnorant or maybe u are under spell or curse...

Yes he did but didn't even pass a single exam that why no affiliation or medals to his title. No FWC PSS or even MNI. Even Abacus and Babangida his contemporaries had medals and award.

PDP is the worst thing to have happened to Nigeria after colonization.

Buhari attended NDA, from 2nd lieutenant to captain to major to lieutenant colonel to colonel to major general.
Buhari has gotten to the level of a professor in the military world.

Dumb heads can be deceived he has no result.

ShobayoEmma:
Why? Is it because he's a christian? First time a christian is a governor of Lagos and all these travail despite the man is performing. Apcheat indeed.
Buhari, a good man with bad intentions.

Same Christian governor that sacked a pastor and sent him out of quarters under 24 hours which no Muslim governor not even military attempted because of his wife.
Besides there years is more than enough to complete projects instead of littering the whole place with uncompleted construction and turning Lagos to Syria.
Don't even get me started on mountain of refuse everywhere with it's attendant health implication. and fertile ground for epidemic.

Constructing a bus stop when the roads are bad not make any reasonable sense and building bus garages without buses and locking it up for two years does make sense.

Besides nobody has told him not to contest he wants automatic ticket like PMB.
How much is really spending on each bus stops we need to know cause it's ain't his father but Lagos money so cut out all this crap and bullshit about him been a Christian governor or working.

The fact is Lagos has always been lucky with Muslims governors from Jakande the first muslim civilian governor to military administrators Raji Rasaki and Buba Marwa and BAT and BRF whereas tenured of late Aigbe and even Oyinlola were marked with out any land mark changes.

The last thing BAT will do is to accept Ambode back after all this drama. The fact is there no opposition that wrestle power from APC as of now. Besides PMB is not considered caused his own election comes before governorship so it doesn't really matter.
BAT needs this to re-establish himself back into reckoning of APC after been shut out by cabals in connivance with APC Renegades

The fact that his foot soldiers are very disappointed in Ambode makes his own leadership position precarious so he attempt to back now.

Ambode is just a thief chopping alone so definitely he will end up whinning alone.
All these propaganda about him working, wasn't he elected to work.

With a budget of 1 trillion this year alone which is over 3 billion dollars, can you justify that what you have seen this year is even 500 million dollars.

The so roads he's working on are existing roads not new newly constructed roads. The oshodi Abeokuta road is even the worst, same road OBJ expanded with Julius Berger now and even with that traffic is still experienced in mornings and evenings. Now he has reduced the same road with attendant description on the remaining lane caused by construction of his so called bus lane.

Apart the from Abule Egba bridge and some lay-bys and pedestrian bridges at ojota, oworoshonki and a few others. The rest projects are glorified bus terminals and garages with no buses.

The scaling down of LAWMA for visionscape, who do you think is amassing the budget.

Now does anyone even know how much Ambode is using to construct his bus terminal and bridges. No because of as smart accountant and greedy crook that he is, he lumped every works construction into one vote without giving a breakdown of the components cost of each project.

During Fashola tenure, every 100 days he was commissioning projects in virtually all sectors and spheres of the state and am not talking about bus stop or pedestrian bridges, I mean modern schools, hospitals,major agriculture projects, roads, health centres, bridges, housing estates and others.

The question is since Ambode revealed to us that Fashola spent 160m on boreholes and 78m on website why hasn't he revealed the cost of his bus stops and garages too.

The fact is Amobode is greedy chopping alone and doing cosmetic projects up and down and now rushing projects because it's time for election otherwise what projects has been commissioning every 100 days since he took oath of office. So only him wants to eat, the party members should not be compensated for their support or he thinks without them even with Jagban he would have won?

The current state of the internal and majors in Lagos coupled with mass of refuse everywhere shows that he's definitely not capable of running the state.

Only good thing is that at least he has declared that the state is spending 1 billion naira monthly to fuel generators for powering the street lights every evening so u can make your deductions of where your 3 billion dollars is going.

baakus:
Fash is by far better than Ambo. All those bus stop he is constructing up and down wouldn't have been possible without Fash work especially at Oshodi. Fash left a working PSP, and perform wonders in all sectors. incomparable...

Wonders will never in Lagos, ever heard of bus stops without buses or bus garages without buses for over two years. That's Ambode for you.

columbus007:
dont you understand? they are here, they are in all media to shatter is administration, tinubu,once you know you know.

Same media that hyped his mediocre works.
Lesson he who rides on the back of the tiger would end up becoming his meal.

Not a fan of BAT but truth be told Ambode is just overated. With a budget of almost 1trillion annually, all I see is just bus stops and pedestrian bridges and uncompleted garages and overhead bridges. Just one small overhead bridge completed with attendant constructions still going on the road. No new modern schools or hospitals built and deliberate lack of accountability coming from an accountant that he is lumping all projects into a vote without actual breakdown of each project component cost.
As far as am concern, let someone else try, he has had his chance after all he was a nobody before before he was imposed on us by BAT.
Besides second term is usually just for consolidation and retirement benefits as shown by Fashola second term.

justtoodark:
you think sooo little of yourselfs its already ridiculous.....

the black race will move on even without you....

i was talking to a nigerian in europe that nigeria is building drones now too...he had it hard to believe me....i had to shout on his head...

then a strange pride appeared in his face....smile of pride or something....

So building or rather assembling a drone which any one with a bit of intellect can do is now a thing of pride for an acclaimed giant of Africa.
Anyway Shehu Garbage has watching too much of Jack Bauer 24, otherwise he will know that there is nothing like secret service in Nigeria security apparatus. The closest we have to this is the DSS and considering the Daura saga, I don't think they are fit to analyse anything for now. Better let NIA handle it if they are capable.
Besides, how long will it take to decipher a simple video.
This is just plain political statement no real intention to pursue the release of the girl.

Where on earth will Kebbi have a population of 15m even when Lagos claim of 20m is still suspect. So the northern migrating to south, none is from Kebbi. Also state warning a revenue of almost their annual budget should mean good news to the state but I don't trust government. This election time and politicians will say just about anything.
True, they are earning from rice but not see much the figures been brandied here.

Upon all the noise on customs reform, they couldn't even met 30% of their target. For NNPC, subsidy scam would not even allow those one to declare profit. So FIRS could just met 60% despite the claim that we have exited recession.
All the 1.6 trillion spent on capital projects is actually what when converted to dollar rate after devaluation of the naira by this administration.
It's not even up to what the past administration spent on projects.
Waiting for rebuttal from PMB diehard fans.

Why this poor attempt to launder Amobe's image. Those buses have in existence since the time of Jakande and only under Fashola regime with the help of Alhaja Balogun then head of service were new BRT buses introduced into fleet while some old ones were refurbished.
This government has not a single bus to the fleet or refurbished any of the ones so stop all this your silly propaganda for Amobe and face your auto biz as you known for.

I understand Niger because of the river Niger but the river does not flow into Togo and Benin.
It's just our mentality of trying to be big brother of Our Africa while we can't be even be brother to ourselves.
