They decide to show us Buhari Human side.

When in actual sense Buhari is dealing with Nigerian Inhumanly.

Which government need 1 hour documentary to show that he is human but a failed Government will do that

Lalasticlala happy new year in advance.

Good evening Nairaland.

Myd44, you can ban this again, maybe this time around 12 months.

Buhari have a long history of blame game

No wonder him he will keep blaming others for jis zero performance.

There is fuel scarcity because Buhari has managed the economy so well that Nigerians bought too many cars this year

~Bolaji Abdullai (APC Spokesperson)

and the government officials are too clueless on what to say

I looked around today, fuel scarcity rising up and the Government are not even in the known of what to do,


well looking at the flash back, i saw this picture and it keeps me thinking.

Oh Lord,
When will Dino Melaye's seat be declared vacant?

It's only 13 days to the end of this year.

Boat... I will not be found in the same association with fayose

Why

3Ceagle:
Most people make comment without confirming how authentic the source is. Let assume, the comment was made by wike, then to who, where and when. In what context was it made.
I won't be surprised if Wike's camp come up tomorrow to deny ever making such comment. This is the more reason people shouldn't come to this platform to engineer tribal sentiment and abuse. I believe FFK being an unrepentant PDP member and a close ally to most of the vocal PDP members in the south, he won't jump in without certainty that wike made those statement.

In the first instance wike never make such statement..

Those that have been carrying PDP cross for South west have decided what they want and they got it.

Awon to pariwo bayin ni those who are plunging the pdp into crisis and factions.

No wonder non of the 6 contestant is ready yo step down for one another.

South west go into convention with divided house and divided vote.

Tell me how can the win.

praxisnetworks:
Do you in your right senses think any sane Yorubaman will leave Osinbajo for Fayose?

What has been osinbajo achievement in south west.

Wike never denied this.

where did u hear him said that.

Show us the audio or video evidence

chuksanambra:
I am very happy that Wike said this. Let him say more of it and even wax it into a record.

2019 is already here, PDP would cry blood.

For the flatheaded pigs urging Wike on, you're all political suicide bombers. Your region is politically worthless and you want to ruin PDP the way you ruined GEJ. Everyone you support is bound to suffer bad luck.

Ki larakunrin yi n so bayi

elenungboro:
What an insult to Yoruba race! (Emi koni fi owo osi juwe Ile Baba mi) meaning I will not use left hand describe the house of my father. I don't blame Wike, is those yoruba in PDP that cause that nunentity to open his mouth anyhow. Anyway I am not surprise to hear that from him, that is how he talked to his elders in rivers. My advice to the remaining south west (Omo Odua) in PDP is to decamp and join another party that have respect for other tribes. PDP is now belong to SE an SS and not Nigeria.

Its never real or done that way.


Awon mefa nikan ni South west as against 1 south south.

They were adviced to choose one person. They refused.

What elese do they want.

From 2015 it has been from one crisis to the other

superstar1:
Somebody should inform Wike that Yorubas do not forget.

Ask the Drunken Master of Otuoke. His words of 2012 haunted him in 2015.

Be assured, these words will haunt Wike in 2019, when we shall revisit the matter and re-quote him verbatim.

Ki ni isoro awa ono Yoruba gan


Bawo la se ma nse bi eleyi gan ni.

Nigna ti yoruba nikan gbe Eni mefa sile.

Ko si eni ti o fe teriba fun enikankan laarin won

jrusky:
If truly woke actually took the swipe on SW PEOPLE in pdp I think that is wrong. I guess by now wike should be matured enough that sometime you don't talk too much let your action but when too much blabla their us no way you won't fall off the cliff and get injure.

Anything tribal rant or attack I hate with passion because it doesn't make someone a responsible someone.

Wike never said that.

Won kan ro aroye ni

perez100:
I am of the opinion that the few Yorubas in PDP should be valued even if they are only 2 PDP members. It is not easy to belong to PDP against a popular APC in their land. Let Yoruba PDP protest but APC members in Yorubaland should stay away from this issue. Don't make them regret joining PDP because their people will mock them.

Awom omo Yoruba to n soro wonyin won wo ojo iwaju jare.

Mynd44:
Well, the PDP was warned.

All this could have been avoided

Awon wo legbe omo Yoruba to n soro yi gan ni.


Nibo no won wa lati igba ti Afeeeece tin terrorize PDP.

None of the 6 is willing to step down for one another not until when voting is ongoing.

'Rebuilding to Regain'



On behalf of members of the National Working Committee of the Peoples' Democratic Party, i dedicate this mandate to the Almighty God who it has pleased to make this convention successful and grant us this opportunity to serve our great party. We give all glory to God and we commit PDP into his hands.



I stand before you this day, humbled by the mandate you just given to my colleagues and I to lead this great party at this time in Nigeria's political history. We wholeheartedly accept it with extreme gratitude.



Eighteen years ago specifically February 14, 1999, this party made history with its first ever national convention in Jos, Plateau State and since then, has grown to become undisputedly, the largest political party on the African continent.



I recall that before that, precisely on the 19th of August, 1998, our founding fathers gathered here in Abuja to give birth to this party whose aims and objectives were patriotic, with lofty and visionary dreams.



By my understanding, the mandate you have given us today is clear and unambiguous. It is to return our party to power come 2019. As Herculean as this mandate seems, I know it's achievable. My campaign pillars for this election are 'To Rebuild, Reposition and Regain'. Let me assure you great members and leaders of our party, that by the grace of God and with all hands on deck, the brief tenancy of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Aso Rock Villa expires on May 28, 2019. By this, we serve them a quit notice.



This has to be immediate, in order to save our beloved country from disintegration. We are all witnesses to how the unity of this country has been shaken to its very foundation under the watch of the rudderless and clueless APC. We therefore have a gigantic task of retrieving this country from APC's clear lack of direction and confusion starting with the Presidency.



In the words of the 34th President of the United States of America Dwight .D. Eisenhower, "If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power". Judging from this, it is crystal clear to all Nigerians, that APC is not a political party, but a body hurriedly assembled to seize power without a clear cut plan for governance.



Our party on the other hand, was founded on ideals which are totally in tandem with those of the founding fathers of this great country. Those founding fathers had in mind, a prosperous and lasting democracy as captured in the preamble of our constitution clearly stating their desire for a free and egalitarian society. Even in our perceived failure of 2015, we chose to to abide by our strong faith in democracy, willingly conceding power to opposition, thereby elevating the democratic status of Nigeria. We are the true democrats!



i can therefore say without an iota of doubt, that PDP's contributions to the growth and sustenance of democracy in this country in the last 18 years remain unequalled. The best way to celebrate the memories of these founding fathers, is to ensure that the ideals are continuously engaged. (At this juncture great PDP leaders and members here present, let us stand and observe a minute silent for our fallen heroes one of whom is our pioneer National Chairman and former Vice President of this country Dr Alex Ifeanyichukwu Ekwueme GCON who passed on recently)



With your mandate I assure you, that all necessary steps will be taken to avoid a repeat of our past mistakes. Indeed we have learnt our lessons and by this convention, we are now set to forge a new path for our great party and Nigeria. Under my watch, Internal democracy will be strictly adhered to with a deliberate policy to return 'real' power to the people. No more imposition, no more impunity. Every member of this party can from this moment, consider him or herself, an equal shareholder in our common destiny. I call on all Nigerians, of all creed and class, to embrace this new PDP and join in this quest for a new Nigeria. Particularly, I reach out to our old members who for one reason or the other have left the party, to please come back 'home'.



I cannot end this address without acknowledging my co-contestants especially for the chairmanship position. Truth be told, any one of you is eminently qualified to lead this party. I thank you for a worthy contest and being part of history as this marks the first time such a highly competitive contest to produce the leadership of a political party has been held in Nigeria. You have every cause to stand tall and I now extend my hand of fellowship to you all. Let 'US' Rebuild, Reposition & Regain.



In the same breath, let me thank the outgoing National Caretaker Committee led by Senator Ahmed Markafi. We will forever remember your courageous leadership in our most trying times. History will no doubt, be kind to you. I must also thank the Convention Committee led by HE Dr. Arthur Ifeanyi Okowa for a job well done.



Finally in accepting this mandate, I am guided by the words of the 19th President of the United States of America, Rutherford Hayes who said in 1877 "he serves his party best, who serves his country best"



God bless you all



Long live the Peoples' Democratic Party of Nigeria

Long Live the Federal Republic of Nigeria



PDP-Power to the People

Power to the People-PDP.



I thank you for listening

BARR. EMMANUEL ENOIDEM EMERGES PDP NATIONAL LEGAL ADVISER

After a very free, fair and credible Election, Hon. Barr. Emmanuel Enoidem of Akwa Ibom State is hereby declared the PDP National Legal Adviser with 1729 votes against Void votes - 111,

Barr. Ime Essien Udom-155 and

Barr. Sunny Gabriel Udey - 315

OfficialAwol:
Lol. That's IBB famous line.

But if PDP do not elect Prof Adeniran, I wonder what the fate of the party will be. Because southwest will feel excluded, and PDP will become a SE/SS party which would further affect it's national coloration

I don't think so, i may be wrong anyway


The yoruba PDP South-West support a south-south candidate have their plan work ahead for PDP, hence my conclusion that I dont think so.

for information those are the voice of PDP even when the APC onslaught on PDP since 2015
