Treasure17:
Someone can not convert in peace again? All these religious extremists with their radical sanctimonious beliefs.

That's what you get when the northern leaders prioritise political islam above education and development.

The entire North is littered with unproductive Islamic fanatics which has stalled it's progress and development. What we have there is a mass of uninhabitable land thrown into an orgy of violence, banditry and terrorism.

JasonScoolari:
His smile is so contagious... A handsome young man, A pacesetter, A caring father and husband, A two time Governor, a distinguished Senator, A doctor and above all, the undisputed master of the game.
Maximum respect to Dr. Abubakar Bukky Saraki.

The fear of probe is the beginning of loyalty.

Dreal1247:
This is a political statement. He obviously trying to make it appear as if they are not aware of what is happenings whereas they are the master planners and strategists.

Don't mind the OP. Was anybody expecting him to say it explicitly before?

What did you expect him to say? He's the National Chairman. He speaks only for APC!

Mind you, all politics is local.

Ojiofor:
That is the way to go.Reclaim your stolen mandate by all means necessary.

Unfortunately, your brothers will be the ones to suffer from the almajiri onslaught.

Be careful what you wish for!

Hindsight: we saw worse than this in Rivers 2015.

Nigeria is just not working.

Beno3:
I like the Yoruba people.
But what I so much hate about them, is their nonchalant nature to matters that concerns safety of lives and the healthy well being of their people.

It pains me to see this.

Learn to read. It was built in 2010.

A run off happens when the top two candidates have equal number of votes.

Choi! Ignorance at its peak!

Wetin person no go see for nairaland!

ozila:
. pregnant woman shot dead

These childish bloggers! Stop posting pictures of corpses. Respect the dead and their grieving families.

Suen need to instruct his moderators against posting pictures of dead bodies on this platform. It is unethical even in journalism. Y'all need to outgrow such morbid inclination.

Wow! Inspite of all the intrigues and hassles till the last minute.

Richardonald:
the op said sowore party like say na him get am.. abi na him dey contest for rivers

Don't mind these kids.

And the moderator placed it on front page with same title. How ignorant!

udemzyudex:
909 accredited voters? This op no go school..
Immediately you're accredited, nna you are given the ballot paper to go and vote ooo,so I understand what you're saying.

He's indeed an ignorant person.
Unfortunately those are the top posters on nairaland.

Interesting

So Kwankwaso didn't contest?

O to ge!

Never underestimate the power of a slogan.

holytribe:
Instead of baba oloye to focus on his campaign, he keeps following Atiku up and down like a slave. How I wish Atiku too will loose, that will be the end of Saraki.

He thought his election was a walk over.

Little did he know.

dominique:
Death is no respecter of youth or beauty, when it's your time it's your time. Sadly she had to die in one of the most horrible ways imaginable. RIP Pretty girl
Had this happened in Nigeria, all the gory photos of her remains would have been splashed all over the internet, adding to the grief and trauma her loved ones are experiencing.

True that. The entire cyberspace would be full of her shattered remans it she were in Nigeria.
Bloggers and others would be falling over themselves on who posts the most graphic pictures.

*Edited* Oh! You're even a moderator. You're among those that encouraged it.

I don't live my life to please people and I don't measure my life based on the opinions and standards of others.

Kingsley10000:
thank you bro
let's try ATIKU,if he doesn't perform,we will kick his ass out come 2023
Buhari has tried his best,he should go and rest
LETS GET NIGERIA WORKING AGAIN

Don't you know that an Atiku victory will have a bandwagon/ripple effect on other elections?
It will most certainly make your Otoge not to happen. And if it does, your opposition governor (especially in Kwara) will be muscled out in a characteristic PDP manner in no distant time.

I would've wanted Buhari to lose. But for the sake of sustaining the good governance of my state (Edo), I don't pray for an Atiku/PDP victory and control of federal might-- which we all know how well the PDP rascals are known to abuse.

senatordave1:

That means he will win buhari.

Not so sure because it's possible to get 25% in all states and still lose the election.

I don't see the possibility of Atiku getting less than 25% in any stay.

Buhari will not get up to 25% in some SE States and Benue. But he may emerge winner by getting that margin in 2/3 of the states (24 other states) and by the majority of votes (ie, he'll score more votes than Atiku).

As you can see, the winner will emerge through mathematical calculations.

Atiku may lose this election. But what is sure is that he'll get 25% in all states.
I'm not sure about Buhari.

GeorgeTheCoder:
The author of this piece is an idiot. He has not asked what is wrong with Nigerians in the case of Anthony Joshua or other successful people, but because two others had brush-ins with the law he insults all Nigerians.

The author's submission is valid; his concerns are genuine.

Okorocha is too full of himself.

The OP made some sense.
Buhari is not good for Nigeria but Atiku is worse, and a bad market for Edo State.

All politics is local.

life2017:
supreme court should comfirm rivers APC primary.
Anything outside that is against democracy

True that. This shouldn't be an issue in the first place.
Parties belong to its stakeholders.
Anything short of a favourable judgement for Rivers APC will prove that the supreme Court is in cahoots with the PDP. Which is ant-idemocratic

jaggabban:
5% ppl should keep quiet we want to hear from Kwarans.

It's impossible to hear from the timid voiceless.

Okoyeebo:
Abdul fatah knows what he's doing.
What he did is deliberate.

It doesn't appear as deliberate. Read the story well. The deadline for substitution was also on the day of that bye-election which they lost. Remember Saraki ordered him to forfeit the ticket about a week after that election... which was already too late.
It was a wrong timing. Not deliberate. Though the governor will secretly be happy about this outcome.

creolehunt:

I don't get. What kind of scrutiny? If I have a PhD, then I have a PhD. No amount of scrutiny will make that go away

Some may be gotten through questionable means, may contain little name error, and critics may have to probe into more damaging records of their school days/activities etc.
It will also give opponents the opportunity to probe into the candidate's NYSC records.
Adeosun, Dino, Shittu, the Kwara PDP govnorship candidate are a few examples that come to mind.

MrAAA:
The list is wack!
Sowore's qualification is just WAEC when he studied to a MSc level. INEC bewilders me.

Most politicians present their lowest (minimum required) qualification to avoid unnecessary public scrutiny.

Saraki should lose his corrupt grip on Kwara.

But is this man implying that APC is the Fulani party?
...we know what Fulani stands for.
