OYSIEC RELEASE

The attention of the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission has been drawn to a news item of an interim order by the Federal High Court in Ibadan said to have stopped the scheduled Local Council elections fixed for 12th May 2018.

While we are yet to be formally served with any such order. Our information confirms that the said court's order did not stop the scheduled elections and was only directed at using the newly delineated wards for the scheduled elections by OYSIEC.

Elections are therefore not, restrained from proceeding as scheduled in all the local governments and LCDAs.

Meanwhile it should be noted that the extant provisions of section 9(1) of the Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission law, cap 154, Laws of Oyo State 2000 which states that "no interim, interlocutory or any other order, decision or judgment by any court or tribunal before or after the commencement of this law in respect of any intra-party, or inter party dispute, or any other proceedings or matter pertaining to an election under this law, shall affect the timing of an election under this law".

This extant law remains valid and binding on us all.

What I don't understand is if the next governor won't dispose the chairmen and counselors ( If APC lose in Gubernatorial election) because why will it take Ajimobi 7 years before conducting the election

I love the picture Turan: Na death dey my blow if I give you one you go just die
Ref: So because I small you think say you fit dey do anyhow Don't worry you go cry tire

Rochas and his ludicrous attitude

This will be more like APC primary election. Only hungry people will vote and the local politicians
But wait! I think the Court has suspended the election

Crude Oil price influence no ni.

So when will the ordinary man on the streets start benefiting from the Rise of Crude oil price and increase in external reserves?

I just read that our exchange rate has been stabilized; U mean at $1=#360? Nawao.
Moreover, economists in the house should help me explain how this foreign reserve affects the life of a common man who still buys things very costly

This can help

I hope this won't be the only time you'll hear about these guys. Where are those companies looking for brand ambassadors? They won't see intellectuals like these ones o.
Also, the hundreds of first class graduands we celebrate every year in Nigeria, where have they being or is this going to be the only good thing about Nigerian universities for years to come?

The problem is universal
The rule is Worst students become CEO and they employ the Best students.
The average students work for the government

34webers:
So because "president" and "Nigeria" was erroneously spelt wrongly, NTA have killed you? Even a goat knows that is a mistake but this your grammar is certainly the best you can achieve.

Do you watch NTA?

Then you should know that grammatical blunders are peculiar to NTA

This is long I can't waste my time reading shit!
Not only Reno but all right thinking Nigerians know that APC is a failure

NTA na better TV station before

Not Again!

Another disaster loading

Where is this man living?
Certainly in a zombie cave

okay

ShyCypher:
The audacity!!!

They steal our money then they come out & flaunt it in our face.



Please where were Zahra Buhari & Kiki Osinbajo before their fathers came to power? Who knew them?

How come they suddenly started affordin' accessories and jewelries worth millions of naira?

At least we know DJ Cuppy's source. What fuckin' hole did Zahra Buhari come from? How come Yusuf Buhari rides a 100m naira bike but his father couldn't afford to pay for his nomination ticket in 2015?
Why didn't Yusuf support his father's ambition back then? Why did they all mysteriously start flauntin' cash after 2015?

Don't say things you don't know
Osinbajo was rich before becoming the vice-president.
He was a successful lawyer.

You can say that about Buhari and his children but not Osinbajo

OFFICIAL336:
Osinbanjo has proven himself to be a "uniter" and a Progressive but he failed to deliver when it mattered.

He shut his eyes to the genocides in Middlebelt.

I would love him as a President based on what he did during Buhari's absence.

But he will NEVER rule this country.

He is too weak.

He is part of the establishment against Christianity.

I will rather vote for a moderate jihadist than a Christian that can't protect his people.

Anyway, #Back2Daura2019

Did you know why did well as Acting president and failed as President?

The Constitution gave no power at all to the VP. tell me a VP that has ever overruled the president.
The VP (his opinion and voice) is inconsequential because the law states that "the VP can ONLY advise the president and the president reserve the right to take the advice or not."

Elliot2:
I can't agree less. However,that has only betrayed him; he can not change the status quo,not now or in the future.

Agreed!
Sincerely, I don't want him as president as well I am just airing my opinion.

Who are you rooting for as president?

Elliot2:
If resignation is the only power a VP can exercise, then he should honorably do so. That message is quite clearer in instances of a tyrant president. I still stand that Osinbajo will not make a good president; he has been so lucky to enjoy an enormously great but undue respect from the masses and the president himself. But that respect has not transformed him to bringing any ingenuity to the system. I can not see him bringing any new ideologies into bear that which is different from the normal politicians ways. So,the failure of this government remains his failure.

Resignation has never and will never change a tyrant president.
The president is aware of his intelligence and that has even reduced the level of violence and killings.
If Osinbajo resigns who will save Nigeria from Buhari's tyrant ruling?
What will happen if Buhari decided to select a Muslim VP like Fasola or Tinubu?

Osinbajo is not saving Nigeria, however he is a factor that the violence has not spread to Southern Nigeria.

Osinbajo always condemn killing he even visited some affected areas when he was Acting president. But with the restrictions by the Constitution how did you expect him to stop the killing?

Wiseandtrue:
Constitution did not permit VP to condemn killings

please which part of the constitution says that

But constitution permits Osibanjo to speak on the proscribed of the IPOB

look, your assertion has made me to realise that Osibanjo has no mind of his!

He is more of a lap dog sorry for being blunt

A man's action defines him! So what will Osibanjo be known for
At the end Buhari will still fling him aside

Then just like so many VPs who have left that post no one will remember him

Constitution never encourage anyone to kill so as a custodian of such constitution shouldn't he have a say

Osibanjo cannot be the president of this country cause he simply don't know what he is doing

Osinbajo spoke against IPOB because he was the Acting president and not a VP.

Why did you think a deputy governor or a VP would want to become a president? obviously because they had no power deputising someone and they have seen and wanted to taste power.
The Constitution gave no power at all to the VP to stop killing. the VP cannot even commands the military that is why the post of VP can be vacant for years but the post of the president cannot be vacant for 24hours.
The post of a VP (his view and opinion) is inconsequential except the president takes his advice.

Osinbajo condemns killing but he cannot stop it. He cannot even commands the military because he is not the president.

The Constitution stated that the VP and Ministers can ONLY advise the president and the president reserve the right to take the advice or not.

Elliot2:
I agree with you to an extent,that what really matters is the president. But it is my opinion that a VP who has his loyalty lying with the constitution and the people will not be silent on important matters were he feels he has superior understanding of issues. You see,he will not stay idle and watch a tyrant president! That is number one. He has an option of resignation if he has a strong reason to disagree with the president on the method of governance,especially that which goes against his ideology. The truth is that,our leaders don't have personal ideologies on what governance should be,and that is why the bandwagon effect greatly undermines the quality of leadership. (the president enjoys too much power and followership, whether he is a tyrant or not).

The truth is the Constitution has failed in some areas especially with the power it has given to the president.
For instance, the Constitution stated that the VP and Ministers can ONLY advise the president and it lies in the president's discretion to take the advice or not. So we didn't have fact to back up our claim that he is doing nothing and not giving advice to the president.

But I don't think his resignation will help the situation on ground because when a SAN and Pastor cannot defend Christians who will?
If he resigns Buhari can decide to select a Muslim as VP (the Constitution allowed it) so that no one will checkmate him again.

Wiseandtrue:
[b]Body language matters alot!

Osibanjo is well learned, I had thought I would see his brilliance in display with the kind of power he wield

We are talking about a SAN for God's sake who also doubled as a VP

Buhari should even think twice before doing anything if I have the kind of power he has

Who exactly is he? Is he living the life of Buhari Shouldn't he be himself

For me Atiku is very brave, I know he is not a saint but he could have kept quiet but no! he made a move!

He has the money, one could say he is self sufficient so why bother with 3rd term saga!

But NO, he saved us all, from a antecedent which would have become a norm when set!

He wasn't in support of what OBJ was doing and it was seen through his actions

Just like Pharoah, he washed his hands which cost him his friendship with OBJ till date!

what a sacrifice

If your name must be remembered by the people you claim to serve, You cannot sit on the FENCE!

Osibanjo is neither here nor there and that for me is not good!

By his silence he has wiped his name off the heart of people who once loved his activeness when PMB was not around!

I ask you once again, will Osibanjo be this docile if this great injustice is melted out to his family

Doesn't he think of those people he intend to serve as a family

Is that why he is silent

What move has Osibanjo made at all [/b]

No one will be happy to directly suffer Injustice not even Osinbajo no doubt

But in 2004 when OBJ was the president Christians killed some Muslims in Plateau both OBJ and Atiku didn't react to the killing until the Muslims retaliated and killed Christians in Kano
Is Atiku happy with the killing of Muslims? No, but the Constitution didn't not permit him to react.

Atiku successfully stopped OBJ' third term ambition because the Constitution stated clearly that a president cannot serve more than two terms. which was easier compare to giving instructions and commands to the president.

The Constitution gave all power to the president and no one can checkmate him (you remember what happened when the House of Assembly invited Buhari recently) expect for GROSS misconduct (the word 'gross' made it really hard to define)

Osinbajo is surrounded by evil and religion extremists so he is just being careful about his choice of words.

Wiseandtrue:
[b]Many Christians voted Buhari because of Oshibanjo remember that PDP before the general elections in 2015 had reminded the public of PMB's fanaticism

So they believe that with Oshibanjo at his side, he would help to checkmate Buhari if the need arises

But they were shocked by his silence and complacency

Need I remind you that Prof Yemi Oshibanjo had assured the people that his own VP will not be silenced but will be actively involved in the government even as a SAN, I guess that might have convinced the public further

You see, Oshibanjo took an oath to serve the people and not Buhari and his interest

whichever way you looked at it, Prof had let so many people down! Even I
inclusive

Atleast Atiku did Atiku did something historical no matter his reason for doing it but what has Osinbanjo done to deserve a VP not to talk of presidency

Someone is destroying the citizens to swore to protect and you call that loyalty

Then I ask you again, if Oshibanjo or his family were affected or killed (I do not wish him that) will he still be silent or loyal as you put it

Finally any candidate that cannot speak for his people but is waiting to become a president before he can do that, for me is a NO, NO
[/b]

Osinbajo had left people down no doubt
But I don't think we should totally condemn him.
Atiku didn't have the power to stop OBJ without the House of Assembly. It was the Senate President and Speaker that helped Atiku.

But let's look at Osinbajo's situation he wanted to embark on an unconstitutional assignment (i.e checkmating the president) so he need the help of the Senate President and Speaker who are also Muslims (and Muslims are happy with the killing of Christians).

If you are in his shoes what will you do?

N.B I am not supporting him as president but I am only giving my honest view.

Elliot2:
I will take u serious on ur submission if only we were like ghana,South africa or America.

Those countries developed because they have good president not because of good VP

Even if all the citizens are good a bad president will make a bad country
Remember how David Cameron said Nigerians are fantastically corrupt. He said that because we have corrupt leaders but he generalised the statement.

Elliot2:
To say that only few can perform better than him is an insult on the over 180million nigerians. Me think Osinbajo does not deserve any special accolades;so far,he has not done anything special!

I think I should rephrase my word. I mean to say
Only a few 'politician' can perform better than him.

I am not him supporter I am just been honest there was another quote of yours that "A vice president whose loyalty lies with the people and constitution,will not have his voice silent in crucial matters despite his portfolio"

I quite disagree that he is silent, You know the Constitution failed to recognize VP's voice unless the president is absent. No VP in history has ever overruled the president on his own. He cannot command the military because he is not the president nor acting president

But I agree with the fact that his resignation will be better but it might be brutal because if a pastor's mouth is shut what will happen to a Christian (who is just a church goer) ?

Ladynia2:
The holy spirit just told me to watch out for the assurance and the assuree

Look no further, for the 'assuree' you have been looking for is here
I have been looking for who to give assurance!
Are you the one??

Narldon:

Attention! Attention!

Ladies please not every Guy that tells u "I Love You" are for Real.

Some just want to press your Breast.

Talking from experience

Dosinspector:
no be only 200 million

It's possible bro
There are places in Nigeria (Maitama, Ikoyi, VI, Lekki and so on) that you need at least 100million to buy Land. Also remember the interior design

Omihanifa:
Nigerians will just be calling figures anyhow this house is not up to 200 million naira, if hes claiming 200 million naira for this house then how much will k1 d ultimate call his own house in ijebu ode

Don't say that
There are places in Nigeria (Maitama, Ikoyi, VI, Lekki and so on) that you need at least 100million to buy Land.
Also Builders in Lagos are paid more than builders in Ogun state
Also remember the interior

Wiseandtrue:
He could not do anything as a VP, what could he do as a president?

Was Atiku not a VP too? Didn't he speak against his boss and save Nigerians from OBJ's third term

Are you telling me that is Buhari's policies were affecting prof Oshibanjo directly, he will not become an activist over night

Abeg, the man is a NO, NO!

You are right though
If you read my other comments on this thread I have pointed out the same thing you said to his supporters (cause I am not one).
The reason he was selected was because he is loyal but his loyalty has portrayed him as a coward and part of failure.
Some Christians voted Buhari because of him thinking he will never allow Christians to suffer but he has failed to do so.
My point is if he is the president his loyalty will move the country forward because being the one in charge he won't want to destroy his image as a pastor.
The only thing Atiku did as vice-president was opposing OBJ's third term ambition because he wanted to become the president himself and not in the interest of Nigeria as you mentioned.
