Buhari Influenced the Judgement... this is not healthy for our Democracy

Stop saying trash. Buhari nominated her for a ministerial position. If he knew she was going to win, why would he nominate her?

TonyeBarcanista:
That's a fallacy. No tribunal has nullified any election.

If I were you, I would stop typing for a moment. This is doing you no good.

I would like to use this opportunity to congratulate the hardworking women of this country. This victory belongs to you all.

let me laugh first

Why is this judgement taking a century?

dorofresh:
The tribunal just dismissed all the Preliminary Objections raised by counsel to the Governor, PDP and INEC.

The Preliminary objections sought the tribunal to strike out the petition for lack of jurisdiction amongst other issues.

In the words of the Tribunal Chairman " Gone are the days when courts based their decisions solely on technicalities, the courts are bound to do substantive Justice in all cases before it"...

The Tribunal has proceeded to deliver judgment on the merit of the Petition before it..

Judgment still Loading....BRB

Nice one. More update, please. I'm eagerly awaiting

Delusion grandeur, that is the problem of Biafrans

You don't raise rebel flag in a sovereign nation. It trouble.

It's actually treason.

I hail Nigeria journalist.All these areas,Limca road, Nkpor,Ogidi, osha and market road by@American road I passed through today.None of the shops in Limca road, Obosi ,market road were any under lock. I begin to wonder where did NR come across 30000 people protesting.presently I just left Limca road where I ate in a canteen close to Susu before Nkpor junction with a bottle of soft drink.There might have been a protest easy where but not in those areas mentioned in the report and the 30000 numbers were out of other.Dearth of investigational journalism in Nigeria since 1900.

Vanguard is pro-biafra. Read all their reports concerning Biafra, it will then be clear to you.

He willfully resigned, because he couldn't continue working with a dishonest Wike.

OrlandoOwoh:
By virtue of the Third Schedule Part I (g) of the Constitution, the Vice President is the Chairman of the National Economic Council.

Besides that, according to the constitution, The portfolio of the coordinator of the economy is specifically reserved for the Vice-president alone and no one else. This is what most people don't know. Okonjo Iweala was never supposed to hold that position. But, then again, under a GEJ led government, everything was upsidedown.

OP, read you post again, then, in all honesty, tell us if you believe that you actually made a single sense. If the answer is yes, then something is seriously wrong with you, and I would advice you to report yourself to the nearest psychiatric home.

They will call her all sorts of names, including Yoruba

DSS, you guys should hold him for as long as necessary. If the wailers don't like it, they should go and free him if they can.

I have never heard of INEC appealing on behalf of a candidate. This is nonsense.

who dash agbereo monkey work

All you do around this forum is posting anti-islamic topics and generally constituting nuisance. Get a life.

hinwazaka:
The police too, has a right to distort money, from you at illegal checkpoints, afterall it is supposed to help national security.

I can't remember the last time you made sense.

If the raid is as a result of intelligence which could undermine national security, then DSS has the right to disobey court order for the greater good of national interest.

Thetrentonline is a known PDP propaganda media outlet. So no surprises here. Well, maybe a bit surprised, because it took them this long to start throwing figures from their figment of imagination

;DD that picture is epic

So, were they supposed to be sent away? After all, GEJ, who is known to be corrupt, still visits Aso villa.

demolinka:
Infact is the national assembly really relevant in this present Nigerian setting ?

Ben Bruce is always quiet at plenaries, yet comes to twitter to rant everyday. Left to me, NASS is useless

Adaowerri111:
Who noticed the strategic offices for PDP senators.

I did. The so-called "Juicy" committees were given to the PDP. Same thing Dogara did.

kevoh:
Nothing wrong with your transformer! No light in Dei-Dei for the same amount of time light has not been in Gwarimpa. We are under the same region in light distribution matters, meanwhile people at Nyanya are enjoying light there.

The funny thing about Abuja is, the satellite towns seems to have constant light even more than the cities.

oluwaSmith1:
APC made a big mistake bargaining seats and house leader for this man.

I see you are an ardent APC supporter, so I implore you to read this interview by a member of the house rep, concerning the possible implications of the manner Dogara shared HOR committees chairmanship positions. Then you'll realize that the APC leadership should be more wary of Dogara than Saraki.

True. There is no need to outrightly lie about the state of the economy like Okonjo Iweala did throughout her tenure. This is an honest driven administration.

Okorocha is on point on this one.

It varies from place to place. On my street, for now, 21-22 hrs. The next street to mine, they do have almost 24 hrs supply. It doesn't make sense, given that we have the same grade of transformer and probably same source of power supply.

President Muhammadu Buhari has insisted that not all nominees will emerge as substantive ministers in his cabinet.

Speaking on Tuesday shortly after Senate President Bukola Saraki presented the list of ministers to him, the president said he limited the number of his nominees to 36 in line with the constitution.

He commended the senate president and the leadership of the senate for the screening, saying the exercise was done “within record time”.

“If I can remember, there must be a member from each of the 36 states. That was why I limited the number of my nominees to that number, 36.

“The senate worked extremely hard and they have passed all the nominees. I think there is some enthusiasm in some parts of the presidency today that portfolios are to be given to the 36.

“The constitution certainly says there must be one member of the cabinet from all the states but the constitution did not say I must have 36 ministries.

“Whatever somebody speculated in some of today’s newpapers, I think that the economy as I have seen it now since my sitting here for the last four months, is that we are so much battered, although some people are saying I am giving bad publicity and scaring away investors.

“Any investor who is interested in investing in Nigeria will seem to know more about the economy more than ourselves. So when I come and tell the truth about the position of the economy of the country, I am going out looking for investors.

“But I am confirming to them that we are truthful, that we need them to come and help us help ourselves by getting in industries, manufacturing and services. They know our needs. The economy of human resources, I believe will make them eventually come and help us.

“I thank the senate for doing this hard work technically within record time.”

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has ended its highly controversial offshore processing arrangement (OPA) in favour of direct sale-direct purchase (DSDP).

The OPA deals, which involved middlemen in the crude-oil-exchange-for-product matrix, had been widely criticised as opaque, dubious and corrupt by industry experts.

With Nigerian refineries not producing enough to meet local demand, the NNPC trades part of its daily 440,000bpd allocation in exchange for products such as petrol, diesel and kerosene under OPA.

Announcing the new arrangement on Tuesday afternoon, Ohi Alegbe, the corporation’s spokesman, said it is a “major steer designed to enshrine transparency and eliminate the activities of middlemen in the crude oil exchange for product matrix”.

The DSDP allows for the direct sale of crude oil by NNPC as well as direct purchase of petroleum products from “credible international refineries”, he said.

Alegbe said the NNPC came to this “informed” position after the evaluation exercise of pre-qualified bidders revealed that most of the 44 companies earlier shortlisted for the next stage of the tender process only had affiliations to refineries abroad, “a situation which introduces toll on the value chain”.

If allowed to subsist, the development would in turn constitute a significant value loss to the federation by way of accruals, he said.

“In this regard, only bona fide owners of Refineries identified in the ongoing OPA Tender Evaluation process will be further engaged. The identified Refineries will be subjected to due diligence and analysis by NNPC appointed consultants to confirm suitability in line with International best practice,” Alegbe said.

The NNPC said the call for commercial bids issued to the 44 shortlisted bidders made up of 34 international firms and 10 indigenous companies have been withdrawn.
