Relax na 36 state we get 4 dis con3. Apkabio is on his own walai

Two boxes counted so far and Tinubu getting over 90% of votes. In third box it’s almost 100% votes. I have never seen this kind of no contest in politics before.

buy hypertension drugs and keep, E get why.

You can seen that it’s you that needs all the drugs to keep you away from suicide now. Two boxes counted already and Tinubu leading others by almost 300 votes.

Badaru is not 10 votes from Jigawa. Fayemi is not ten votes, same with Akpabio. You are wrong. And there’s no surprise. Everyone knows there’s only one outcome. It will be a massive knockout against Oshinbajo and Amaechi. We have just one hour than confirm that.

That’s for the Igbo to decide. If they are really serious, they should start promoting a credible hard working and visionary leader who will shake hands with people along and across the Niger River. He should start now, not 2 months before next election.

I really admire the courage of some people here who are still supporting and hoping on Amaechi and Oshinbajo. The handwriting is on the wall. They are losing woefully.

1. Your National Identification Number (NIN) is used to tie together all records about you – demographic data, fingerprints, head-to-shoulder facial picture, other biometric data and digital signature – in the National Identity Database making it relatively easy to confirm and verify your identity when you engage in travels and transactions.


2. It is used for retrieving your captured information from the National Identity Database
your matching information associated with your NIN can be then used to verify that you are really who you say you are.


3. NIN help provide accurate records about actual living/dead persons in every region of the country. It help keep track of actual transactions as well as movement of people within and out of the country. It also help confirm which individuals are in actual need of particular Government services, e.g. age and retirement confirmation for pensioners.

4. When it comes to access to vital services (like passport issuance, banking services, land transactions, insurance services, pension, health insurance, payment of taxes, voter’s registration, consumer credits, and all Government services), your NIN becomes necessary for:
• cutting down the time needed for verifying documents to properly identify you in order to access the services you require
• reducing errors in allocation of services to the right people
• prevention of fraud (419) where someone else impersonates you
• verification of the real identity of other people you go into financial or business transactions with or even people you wish to employ such as house help
• ensuring you are properly identified when receiving health services, e.g. verifying the actual blood types of blood donors at hospitals
• verification of voter eligibility during elections.


5. Even outside the country, your NIN remains valuable whether you are travelling or are part of the Nigerian diaspora:
• you can easily identify yourself with other proud Nigerians abroad
• the Nigeria Government would have more accurate statistical data of its citizens living abroad, useful for harnessing more skills and talent
• identity verification using the NIN would enable easier discovery of relatives and friends worldwide
• senders and receivers of money and goods/services can be identified, verified and traced as needed, enabling secure international transactions.

It’s free in NIGERIA, why do we have to pay £50 abroad for it?

EmeraldJD:
Seems Tinibu will be picking up this thing o. Hmmm.. Atiku vs Tinibu. I'm definitely gonna be sleeping in my house on election day.

Thunder fire your bed that day. No please to sleep. Go out and vote.

What of Umahi? What of Amaechi? OMG!!! SE is in the wilderness, no wise men among them anymore.

shortIGBOman:
We IGBO People no go gree. APC must make our Brother Peter Obi their Presidential candidate.

Lol!!!

PrinceOfLagos:
Yep yep, all is well



But I doubt if all is well with Tinubu right now in Abuja

Vawulence catch you there. Tinubu has won. It’s a total knock out. Amaechi is going to intensive care unit now. The vawulence from Tinubu delegates too much. Lol.

TheNiceGuy:
Is chairman, Adamu the custodian of State delegates

Give him vawulence to chop. Lol.

Fake news. The authentic information now is Tinubu and Amaechi are consensus candidates.

Continue screwing your self. Oshinbajo has been removed as consensus candidate. Only Tinubu and Amaechi are contesting.

Crixxx:
Definitely not ruling this country again come 2023

You will hug transformer as a wailer. I have bought it for you.

Puskas:
Anyone apart from Tinubu is highly welcome

That’s your next president, whether you like it or not. I have a transformer ready for you to hug if you disagree.

Are there no wise people in Igboland anymore? Why behave like spoilers when you never worked where you wanted to reap? Why use sentiments to destroy party and nation just because you are bellyaching?

Did you notice the response of Buba Galadima? How can you trust a person like Oshinbajo after this drama?

Tinubu and Osinbajo: The true story of how they met

Bayo Onanuga

I never wanted to write this story but I was inspired to do so today, following Buba Galadima's interview with the Punch on Monday. Buba struck a chord when he spoke about the issue of trust in the relationship between Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

You think Osinbajo should have given up his presidential ambition for loyalty to Tinubu?, Buba was asked.

He replied: "If he doesn’t, can you now trust him? If you look at how Osinbajo came with Tinubu and he’s now contesting against Tinubu who brought him, how safe would you be to work with such a person?

"If the man who did all this to someone who made him commissioner, made him this, made him that and he is now fighting him. You will now want to fight for him now, what would be your status later in life with him?".

Just like Buba, I feel strongly that Osinbajo has grossly violated the trust that ordinarily should exist between him and Tinubu.

Contrary to the stories in the social media, I was the one God used to bring Osinbajo into Tinubu's circle in January 1999.

Tinubu had just won the election as governor of Lagos State and days after, we met on the 6th floor of Kresta Laurel at Maryland, which Otunba Gbenga Daniel donated for our use. On this day, Tinubu shared with us some of the 'certain' appointments he intended to make. Those who were at the meeting were Otunba Daniel, Dele Alake and I. Tinubu sat at the head of the table as he said he would make Rafiu Tinubu the Lagos State Head of Service. We argued over this and he justified the planned appointment by saying that Rafiu, who is now late, was a senior permanent secretary in the Lagos Civil Service.

"Attorney-General will be Bayo Oriola", Tinubu said.

I shot back and said: " I have a better person for you", my exact words. Tinubu was startled by my interjection.

"Who is that," he asked.

"He is a Law Professor and the man who drafted our company's MOU. He crafted it in a brilliant way that protected us from the founding partners. Without this, the other shareholders would have thrown us out", I explained.

I also said Osinbajo had worked with Prince Bola Ajibola, who was the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice under President Babangida.

Dele and Otunba Daniel did not oppose my nomination, surprisingly. Tinubu also appeared eager to meet the "wonder lawyer" that I have just sold to him, to replace a man, who had served as the lawyer to the campaign.

"Go and bring him", Tinubu said.

Before the meeting ended, Tinubu also settled on his nominee for Information Ministry. It was to be Dele Alake and I said I would return to my office to continue journalism.

After the meeting, I went to Osinbajo's house in Ogudu to invite him to meet the new governor, Bola Tinubu. I remember entering the apartment from the kitchen. The wife was there when I delivered the message and left the house with him, later.

I have never published this story before and hereby want to apologise to my namesake Bayo Oriola, for blocking what should have rightly been his entitlement, going by the role he played during the campaign. I hope Oriola would have the heart to forgive me.

This event happened 23 years ago. Thus a few days ago, I asked Alake to fill the memory gap. Here is what he sent to me from the U.S.

"I remember that day very well. I had actually mentioned Jebby ( Osinbajo's nickname) to Asiwaju before that meeting. He said we'll see. You can ask Asiwaju himself. Which was why I didn't object when you mentioned him at the meeting because it reinforced what I had told him.

"My mentioning Jebby's name was solely because we were classmates in Igbobi college - same classroom, together with Tunde Fowler, Ade Ashekun, (the one he made ambassador to Canada) and Tunde Durosinmi Etti, former Commissioner under Ambode. Jebby and I were also attending the same church, Baptist Sheperd Hill Obanikoro, and his father's house in Obanikoro not far from my dad's house in Pedro road at the back of the church.

"After you mentioned his name that day , Asiwaju still asked Gbenga Daniel again and Gbenga also okayed him.

" Asiwaju knows all these. You were the one that mentioned him openly at the meeting while I had mentioned him a day or two before in private and Asiwaju again confirmed his name from Daniel.

"When Asiwaju told me he also asked about him from Daniel I then told him that Daniel, myself and yourself were contemporaries in UNILAG and he laughed that we were doing Akoka solidarity".

Looking back now, did I regret what I did in January 1999. Yes, I would say I have some regret, especially since my action hurt Bayo Oriola. And my apology to Oriola once again. I could not have foreseen today's turn of events between Tinubu and Osinbajo, who I nominated to be justice commissioner.

Oremi lateefu:

Does the NWC's ratification or dissent towards Lawan's candidacy even matter anymore? The message has been passed and has resonated well enough to the discerning.

Even if any southerner miraculously emerges the APC candidate tonight, they will lose woefully at the election proper because this party under Buhari and Adamu will not work for any such candidate.

We warned Nigerians about this satanic party in 2015, didn't we?

Who told you Buhari will not work for the candidate? Wait and see!!! Adamu is definitely going to be removed soon after this convention. Mark my words.

Massive barefaced liar. All the NWC have addressed the press, that only Adamu came to give them the information. They never deliberated on it nor accepted. Their position is that the south must produce the president.

creolehunt:
After the pain of the past 7yrs, it boggles the mind that "one of them" is a huge contender for the seat of the president and there are hungry people on this site queuing up behind him just for some primordial sentiments.

Disgusting!

You can wait till eternity. I never got and will never get money from anyone. My conscience tells me Tinubu is the best of them to lead NIGERIA. You will thank me in next 3 years for my doggedness.

This is the handiwork of IPOB and ESN. No one else is likely to have done this.

As the APC goes into its presidential primary election, the SMART Women for PYO has welcomed all the delegates, observers and party leaders from across the federation to Abuja while urging them to cast their votes for Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

The group, in a press statement issued by its co-conveners, Bunmi Oke and Folake Aina, welcomed the delegates to the serene environment of the FCT, noting that they would enjoy the best of hospitality in an atmosphere devoid of insecurity.

The women also appealed passionately to the delegates to consider the interest of the nation, especially the generations yet unborn, when standing face to face with the ballot paper.

Explaining that whatever action they take will determine the future of APC and Nigeria, the group urges the delegates to vote for the most preferred candidate, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo,

The statement reads: ”SMART Women welcome our delegates to Abuja, We equally welcome our party leaders and observers to this ‘all-important’ event.

“We encourage you to be steadfast and pragmatic in your decision-making process as you step into the voting arena.

“Please vote for a seasoned administrator, a lawyer per excellence and the man that will take Nigeria out of the woods, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

“He is the only one that has been to all the states of the federation, to canvass for votes. This shows how much he holds you in high esteem.

“It is our hope that you, our honorable delegates, will do the needful and put the country first by voting a man that has been in the saddle in the last seven years.

“With the help of God and your support, Osinbajo will surely put Nigeria on the right path. God bless us all.

Stop wasting your energy. Tinubu is the one. Others can wait for 8 years.

APC Presidential Ticket: It’s The Governors’ Game

…Why Fayemi May Emerge, the NGF Connection
Strong indications have emerged that not less than 18 of the APC governors elected on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) may be rooting for the presidential ambition of the Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum and Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi in the build up to the party’s special national convention scheduled for Tuesday
This development may be in tandem with the decision of members of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, NGF across party lines that they must all work to ensure that one of them emerges the next President of Nigeria.

Multiple sources close to the inner workings of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum reveal that this decision had been sealed amongst the governors as far back as early 2021.

The governors were said to have been unanimous on one thing, that only a serving governor who feels the pain of the shoes of the present lopsided fiscal federalism status quo the States are forced to wear can effect drastic changes.

“This was what motivated the high number of Governors across party lines to join the Presidential race. The Governors were also clear that only a Governor of the present set and not the 1999 set could understand the issues better and make sweeping changes,” a source clarified.

With the reality on ground in Abuja hours to the Special Convention of the APC, findings revealed that 18 out of the 22 APC Governors are keeping faith with the Nigerian Governors’ Forum pact. The Governors are said to be showing deep understanding with three of their colleagues. One is Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, who is said to share political umbilical cord with his political godfather, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The second is Governor Gboyega Oyetola of Osun State who shares biological ties with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Fayemi is, in fact, said to be preaching this tradition of understanding amongst his colleagues and has maintained very cordial relationship of mutual respect with Sanwo-Olu and Oyetola respectively despite their helpless positions.

Another Source disclosed that, unlike the Governors’ disposition towards Sanwo-Olu and Oyetola, many of them are not comfortable with Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State and Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State for departing from the agreed path.

Another Source close to the Progressive Governors’ Forum also hinted that, “contrary to the popular notion that Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno is with the Tinubu camp, he will break ranks with his godfather, Kashim Shettima and deliver the Bornu State delegates to Fayemi when push comes to shove.”

It would be recalled that Governor Babagana Zulum reminded Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in clear terms when the latter visited the State to solicit the support of Borno State delegates that he would nothing but what President Buhari wants him and the State’s delegates to do when the time comes.

More authoritative Sources even outside of the Governors’ Forum confirm that Fayemi has been able to align 18 out of the 22 APC governors behind his presidential ambition. A Presidency Source also disclosed that, to the delight of President Muhammadu Buhari, Governor Fayemi is said to have displayed exemplary leadership and discretion in the management of his Presidential ambition thus far.

According to him, “while many of the other Presidential aspirants made grand entries into some of the States they visited under heavy media spotlights, Fayemi has shown that his Ph.D degree in War Studies is not just an academic attainment. He has held far more strategic and productive meetings with political and traditional leaders across the country than any other aspirant in this race. Like they say in war planning, never notify the enemy of your movement.”

Another member of the APC Progressive Governors’ Forum who also spoke to newsmen on condition of anonymity also said, “Fayemi’s meeting with the governors is in continuation of the engagements he had had with them in the past and that the recent meetings were at the instance of the governors, who wanted assurances on a number of issues.”

“We are very optimistic about Fayemi’s chances and in the next couple of hours, many of the other governors on the sideline would come on board. We believe that some of the governors who are also aspiring would queue behind Fayemi.”

He further said: “Many governors have already pledged their support to Fayemi. They have also reiterated their stance that it is their collective decision for a governor to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari. With the support of 18 governors, Fayemi is expected to put up a strong fight for the presidential ticket of the APC.”

“Fayemi choice is the least problematic for President Buhari because the governors control the delegates and will always direct them to put the vote behind the President’s anointed candidate. It is easier for the President to ask the governors to vote for one of their own than anyone outside that fold. That is the type of sense of solidarity amongst the governors,” the source explained.

As a follow up to the Saturday night meeting of the South West leaders at the residence of former Ogun State Governor, Chief Segun Osoba aimed at persuading all the other aspirants on the need to agree on a consensus candidate at the micro zoning level, indications have emerged that another meeting has been schedule for 8pm on Sunday at the same venue to enable the South West present a common front at the follow up meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari scheduled for 10pm same day. It is however not clear if any of the aspirants would agree to step down for the others.

Cc: Lalasticlala, mynd44

Please don’t put this nonsense in front page. It’s all rubbish. Fayemi cannot even smell victory in any way. Tinubu has reached far deeper than any of the contestants. We have just 24 hours to confirm that. Ganduje, El Rufai, Bornu Governor, Niger Governor, Kebbi Governor, Nasarawa Governor, Ondo, Osun, Kwara, Lagos are staunchly for Tinubu. In fact, Fayemi is number 4 in pecking order.

Who are these irritants called Ohaneze? Why don’t they defend themselves against IPOB and ESN?

iCauseTrouble:
Before you support APC in the next election, think twice, your family member may be the next victim.

We should support IPOB then? Nonsense!!!

melonsgroup:
Where the cows?Is evans a herdsmen

Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

He is not yet the president. Wait for him.

ovieigho:
Barely few hours to APC presidential primary , northern governors headed by governor of Kano state , mallam Ganduje announced at a meeting earlier today 6th of June 2022 that Tinubu has been chosen as the consensus candidate , with the support of President buhari…

The source also said Osinbajo finally stepped down for Tinubu at the meeting of SW yesterday….


More details ….

What’s the source of your information?

Dialpad:
Keep on with the joke .... it's allowed

When analysis fail, you will come up with another BS.


Someone will just be at the beer parlor get high and come up with rubbish analysis

I was just going to say it’s a beer parlour talk. OP, You will get sober on Tuesday.

OP someone must have added weed to you soup tonight. Where did you get the nonsense you are saying? Oshinbajo that’s stepping down for Tinubu as at now is the one you are seeing as consensus. You must be dreaming after taking tramadol.

Wailers, wake up. Stop drinking too much of tramadol. Tinubu is the choice.

derecho:
I don't believe the errand boys are ingrates.After God,Without them, there'd be no colossus called Asiwaju.They sacrificed a lot for him and he just wants to discard them without acknowledging it.Who is the ingrate here? Tinubu isn't just an ingrate but too arrogant.

That said,
Do you honestly think Tinubu wont vie for the highest seat if he was the V.P?
Guys are just being sentimental and should know that blackmail won't work

Stop turning truth upside down. They are the ingrates. Tinubu brought them up to political relevance. He deserves respect and first refusal for any office. They rose to where they are through the help of Tinubu. Stop talking nonsense as if we don’t have brains.
