Akeredolu performed woefully but he will win the governorship election because Igbos will give him bloc votes

Igbo 5% votes are not required for Akeredolu to win a second term. Igbo should vote their beloved dying PDP.

Ondo people do not want attachment by force.

olumide4christ:
You see, one thing you proponents of this bullion van saga haven't reasoned is that if truly Tinubu ferried in money in bullion vans on the eve of presidential elections, was he on the ballot for the election?
Was it not Buhari who was on the ballot for the presidential election?
If he actually used money from the bullion vans to induce voters, to whose credit was it? Was it not to Buhari's credit) favor?
Do you in your wildest imagination think Buhari was never aware of it, if truly money was in the bullion vans?
Do you also in your wildest imagination think Buhari would investigate/prosecute Tinubu for using the contents of the bullion vans to help his re-election bid?
Capital NO!
Was it not for similar reasons that Donald Trump, the hero of some of you people, continuously denied that Russia influenced the 2016 US elections in his favor, despite the fact that his security and intelligence chiefs stated so?

This petition on bullion vans is simply dead on arrival. No typical African politician/president will do something that will invalidate their presidency or political rule.
Let's use our precious time for things that will better our lives personally and not become obsessed with allegations that will not be prosecuted in the current political dispensation.

You have time.

You should have just read the comments made by demented and frustrated beings led by the senseless rabble rouser, laugh and then move on. That is what sane minds are doing, you are free to choose to ignore f**ls.

They (the legally minded few of them) know that nothing can be legally proved in a law court as things are. However, they enjoy the blackmail on Tinubu. A man who has never held any political office in the south east.

My advice is for you to ignore them, you may however advice them to vent their frustration on their kerosene sharing governors rather than on persons who do not even care whether they live or die.

Hustling gone wrong. Hard times for tribal bigot to figure where he comes from

That is not his real name. We know what his name would sound like, (.......kwe). We know the people who have a penchant for things like that.

To them, everything na business.

Una eyes go soon clear

Wetin dey your eye wey no make am clear?

So you expect an "Almajiri and Ewedu" party to give its ticket to a zone where they are hated with passion? Nobody does that as it would amount to a political suicide. Certainly APC will not do it.

As for the dying PDP, they may zone their ticket to the zone where they are very much loved.

You see, things don't just happen, they are planned. South west planned very well and I repeat, they already have the presidential ticket of APC. I no tok of PDP o.

Brooklynsouth:
if APC fails to give an igbo man ticket in 2023 let the northerners have it if a section of the south thinks greed and backstabbing paya then they are in for a ride .why can't inec allow Nigerians in diaspora to be voting using international passport especially USA how can I vote from there

The presidential ticket of APC for 2023 elections has been with the south west since 2015.

Only the wise can understand.

[quote author=ihec post=93009563]I have a feeling that something will happen sooner than expected and it will not favour our politicians at all.
Something similar or even worst than what is happening in mali[/quote

I understand you very well. Since you lack the numerical strength to remove a government in an election, you're looking up to the military. It will never happen in Nigeria.

Nigeria is not Mali, so IG you want to remove the government, try and build bridges and upgrade your 5% status to a majority.

Btw, those boys in Mali will soon start to regret the day they joined the military.

kcnwaigbo:
You did not read the INEC press release?

No, not yet.

Exercise in futility.

He wants to defend INEC's unlawful exclusion of a candidate from a registered political party when INEC is keeping quiet.

INEC itself did not call a single witness at the tribunal - for whatever reason (so I was told)
If that is the case, Diri:s election can not stand because you can not get something from nothing.

Seems Diri is not destined to govern Bayelda state for now. INEC has really done him in.

If it were to be a Yoruba man he could have disown his words

If he had been a pig from Igboland, he would have escaped thorough the land border like Nnamdi cownu and Odumegwu ojukwu

executive12:
That was because he ran under APC which is not the right party to be in in Anambra State.

Meaning he is not a popular politician. A popular politician will win elections irrespective of the political party that presents him/her. Example is Orji Uzor Kalu and Andy Uba.

NSK4U:
you that reason from your head should face Tinubu who himself alongside his wife called your lots "beggars, always waiting for crumbs from their table"

we'll cherish Kalu till eternity, he remains a hero to us.

Yes, that is your choice. Your forbearers also supported Nwarfo Orizu despite the fact that he stole millions of Pounds belonging to the community. He was tried and jailed by the colonial masters just like orji kalu was jailed. After serving his sentience, Azikiwe manipulated him to the position of senate presidency just like you are celebrating a convicted thief who got a temporary reprieve.

Maybe you are not even aware that the retrial will start very soon.

stormborn28:
you mean Dora defeated him?

No, he was defeated with a landslide by Ekwenife in 2015 senatorial election.

I have no time to read the long Epistle. However, I wish to point out that you were never a governor because the elections that purportedly made you a governor was invalidated as a result of substantial electoral malpractices.

It would do you a lot of good if you stop referring to yourself as a former governor.

A "former governor" that could not defeat a woman in a senatorial election.

Ngozioma:
Who convicted him, was it not Tinubu that set him up, the North knows better.

I hear you. Even if you can't feed your miserable family, it is the fault of Tinubu.

A case that was diligently prosecuted for seven years, you are writing that Tinubu (who does not care about what is going on in your God-for- saken and erosion ravaged poverty capital of southern Nigeria) set somebody up, a person who looted your Abia into socio - economic perdition through his company- Slotsk. Are the records not there for all to see?

I really pity you because you are reasoning from your anus.

Burruchaga71:
. Trash as usual

Present a contrary view that is not a thrash. Maybe you need to educate us why Obi did not step the soil of any of the nineteen northern states to campaign in an election he contested on a joint ticket with Atiku.

I repeat, no serious minded political party would field an Igbo presidential candidate.

UdechiHD:
How many politicians do you Yoruba’s have that can pull crowd in the north and south? Now compare them to Igbo sons and you won’t say this nonsense again.

1. Compare Rochas/Kalu vs Tinubu/Aregbesola in the north. No be mouth.

2. Compare Okonjo-Iweala vs Adesina

3. Compare Peter Obi vs Yemi Osinbajo

4. Compare Ameachi vs Fashola

5. Compare Ken Nnamani vs Osoba

6. Compare Umahi vs Fayemi

You are not conversant with developments in Nigeria.

Why did Obi not step the soil of any of the nineteen northern states in 2019 electioneering campaign?

It may be hard for you to believe, but no serious minded political party would field an Igbo presidential candidate because that is an automatic failure. Nnamdi KANU has seen to that. None of the Igbo sons and daughters you mentioned above can not defeat their Yoruba counterparts because of so many reasons.

For Igbo to be politically relevant in Nigeria, a lot of bridges (which they burnt) have to be reconstructed through superb diplomacy.

Kriss216:
Tinubu is a well recognized thief and a drug baron. He should be jailed with both hands and legs chained in a sane country.

We know where this is coming from.

Tinubu will not be jailed unless tried and convicted by a competent court of law.

On the other hand you people's penchant for supporting evil is legendary. I recollect how the unfortunate beings inhabiting the sad east of Nigeria jubilated when Orji Uzor Kalu got a temporary reprieve (via the technical flaws in the person that read the judgement that jailed him).

This is the reason why any opinion, idea, person, group or indeed anything you support becomes a monumental failure.

Useless miscreants.

omazus:
This is eye opening. It is a pointer to the type of politics we play in SE, that is, the type of leaders we elect. SE believes so much that they can do everything for themselves and pay little attention to what can be gained from others. Unfortunately lazy leaders like this approach. It gives them opportunity to steal and live the people wallow in their self conceived omnipotence.

Well said. You could have advised your compatriots to always take their failed governors to account instead of being interlopers, castings performing governors in other people's zone, especially the south west that has accommodated them since their civil war defeat.

It is only then that your governors and your elites would stop stealing your present and future. One them recently got a temporary legal reprieve after being jailed for corruption (on purely technical grounds)and the response of your people showed the type of leaders they want.

A word is enough for the wise.

alhassanyusuf29:
they know their 5% votes can't get them even a security guard post, their best bet is Atiku for a VP slot!!

Even minority seat they couldn't get under their slavish party PDP

It even appears that PDP is wiser. From ongoing permutations, it appears that PDP wants to zone their VP slot to the south west. This means no major political party is considering them for anything serious. As usual, they'll get chief whip or minority whip.


Honesty, I pity my people from the south east. I can not really understand which problems brought them to this political abyss. Abi na Nnamdi Kanu?

AlabiJ:
Op, this your tactic is for losers. I recall that Saraki also tried to make the last Kwara elections that swept he and his henchmen out of power about Tinubu, yet he failed woefully. The idea that you can gain public sympathy by scapegoating Tinubu won't work. That strategy is for losers.

I wish I can like this comment one million times. Thank you very much.

It is the matter of Tinubu that will kill these unfortunate beings, no doubt about that.

The funniest thing is that Tinubu does not even care about their miserable existence.

Dpharisee:
It's like this people have not evolved since that fallen angel with Tiger clawed face was pushed down to earth from heaven and he fell into this coloured roof area.
Hmmmm I didn't call any tribe name o

When the Yoruba nation became civilized and constructed buildings with corrugated roofing sheet hundreds of years ago, the Igbo clans were living in caves.

Ask any student of sociology, they would confirm that the Yoruba nation has the oldest settlement pattern in Nigeria, meaning while they were living in houses built by man, others, including the Igbo were living on caves Unfortunately, some representatives of these cave men - who inhabit the poorest zone in southern Nigeria do not understand their position hence the claim that some people are living under brown roofs

sam1919:
Even if they impeach Obaseki, Edo people will still stand by Obaseki, come sept 19 Edolites will vote massively for him. He has done well.

If Obaseki is impeached, he is not eligible to contest the September 19th elections.

Obaseki is in a deep mess but the enemies of the country (who are suffering suffering from self inflicted wounds) are deceiving him online.

However, personally I would like him to be on the ballot so that he would know that he does not know how to play politics.

Mo3891:
They searched it and it came back to show them, PDP President Jonathan directed PDP Finance Minister Okonjo iweala to release $2b USD to PDP NSA Sambo Dasuki to give people to help them mobilise people to vote PDP and Sambo Dasuki knew only Pastor Ize Iyamu is trusted to deliver and 700m was sent to him

The market women also went to Interpol to ask why Obaseki was detained in Paris and his Tourism Commissioner Osazee jailed, and they got to know Obaseki and Osazee flew $2million USD Edo money cash to Paris in a private jet, and when asked what it was for, the snake Obaseki quickly denied Osazee living him to rot in jail


The market women concluded by asking what exactly Obaseki could point to in 4 years to justify over 500billion naira budgets

*Rochas Okorocha
*Dave Umahi
*Akpabio
* Emanuel Udom
*Ajimobi
*Amosun

All with less allocation showed us more first term projects



.

Apt. How I wish I can like this comment one million times.

The fools think they have monopoly of propaganda.

Just because of hatred for a person, they are supporting a monumental failure both as a politician and as a governor. Where were the emergency supporters of obaseki when he was using the state machinery to fight the political party that produced him?

Obviously, El- rufai has not handled the southern Kaduna crisis appropriately. If anything, his actions and utterances have portrayed him as a religious bigot and a very sectional leader.

It would do well if the peoples of southern Kaduna organize themselves into a defense force and with help from without, they may save themselves from going into extinction which I think is the ultimate aim of the Fulani.

And to rub salt on injury, El - rufai is aspiring to be president after Buhari, can you imagine that?

Meanwhile, the latest new is that Edo state publicity secretary of PDP Mr. Chris Nehikhare has resigned and decamped to APC to key in into the aspiration of POI.

We talk am before; some persons get midas touch. Anything they touch turns to gold. Some people get accursed touch anything they touch and support ends in disaster - ask Dino, Saraki, Atikwuchukwu, Jimi Agbaje, and so many others.

Substantiate this story with a video, photographs or a link.

Thenk yuu.

SolaRaphael:
If only the Southerners (SE, SS and SW) can unite.


How good that will be!


E

That unity you craved for was destroyed in 1959 when Azikiwe rejected that call from Awolowo to be the prime minister (in an AG/NCNC alliance, despite AG comming second and NCNC coming third) and accepted to be a ceremonial president in an NPC/NCNC alliance.

If there will be unity, it would be between the south west and the south south. This is already taking shape - if you can understand political moves.

Ezeama400:
Igbos are not scared to contest against anyone.. What's is good for Adamma is also good for Funke. The two major political parties should zone their tickets to Igbo land like it was done to yorubas in 1999..


This link I sent below has contradicted your opinion about Igbos interest in 2023..

Igbos in Apc are warning up as well


https://www.google.com/search?q=South+East+president+2023..+PDP+nairaland&oq=South+East+president+2023..+PDP+nairaland&aqs=chrome..69i57.23400j0j4&client=ms-android-transsion-tecno-rev1&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8

I can tell you with all confidence that Igbo person would not get APC ticket. Igbo race has consistently displayed acute hatred for the party and it is certain that Igbo would not give the party a significant vote percentage as usual.

No serous minded political party would deliberately lose an election because they want to please certain ethnic group that has not invested meaningfully into their party.

What I see on the horizon is not what you see.

This is a sad end to the story. However, we should not totally hold the judge responsible for this miscarriage of justice. More often than not, the real traversity of justice starts with the prosecution.

All criminal cases are prosecuted by the police and when they are mobilized enough, they scuttle otherwise very good cases. The easiest way of doing this is to present a very weak case, deliberate refusal to call crucial witnesses (like in this case) or an outright selling the complainant out to the defendant.

This happens regularly in our judicial system. May the Lord take control of Nigeria.

Comedian2019:
Those hailing this criminal are the problem of the state.



When you see s thief you shout THIEF!

How do you describe those that hailed the convoy of Orji Kalu when he entered Abia state after he secured a technical and transient victory at the supreme Court?

Has Oshiomhole been tried in any court of law for corruption?

Webmannigeria:
Look at them just taking cover and not really engaging them.....This is now a businesss that the heads of our security agencies never want to see an end to it....when a competent Government comes on board all these nonsense will end.
-
Prof Zulum will be good at least he seems to pay attention to governance He will definitely be far better than the man in Kaduna that's nursing presidential ambition for years...Power should go to the south in 2023 ( SE to be precise ) but i won't mind Prof Zulum and Peter Obi combo for 2023

This is on of the reasons you people are politically backward. Under which platform will Obi and Zulum contest? Are they from the same political party?

The Peter obi that I know can not join the "Almajiri and Ewedu party'. Zulum will not commit political suicide by joining the " tax collectors". Dogara that made the mistake has already found his way back and the grapevine suggests that he is not the only one.

So, please tell us the platform for Zulum/Obi ticket.
