₦airaland Forum

The Nigerian presidential election is barely 45 day away, but the Atiku Abubakar camp, of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) challenging the incumbent, Muhammadu Buhari (APC), has not shown convincing readiness to take over the top job from the later.

By now, the Atiku campaign group should have layed solid and convincing foundations before all Nigerians as per how and why they are better than the present leadership of the country.

We at the grassroots wants a better Nigeria through better leadership, but the Atiku camp has not given Nigerians enough reasons to chose them over the Buhari-APC.

(My candid advice).

Nairalanders, Let's advice Atiku/Obi now.

chinjo:
Nigerian government should start looking at this prof closely o. He is a terrorist in the making.

You are not far from the truth.

He is already threatening the peace in Nigeria because of his misconceptions

adebuk47:
Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, on Monday alleged that some unnamed persons from the South West and North were ganging up against his 2023 presidential ambition.

Okorocha spoke to journalists at his Ogboko country home in the Ideato North Local Government Area of the state.

He said despite the orchestrated plot against his political career, he would contest for Presidency in 2023.

The governor alleged that his current political predicaments in the ruling All Progressives Congress started two years ago in Lagos State.

According to him, an unnamed politician summoned his political subordinates including his deputy, Eze Madumere, to Lagos and plotted the chart to stop his political ambition by all means.

The governor said, “What I am suffering now in APC started two years ago in Lagos. They called my subordinates including my deputy and asked them to team up to fight me.

“Hope Uzodinma joined them lately. They decided to use him because they saw him as a strong person, being a sitting senator.

“The whole thing is about my 2023 presidential ambition. They want to shut out any Igbo man who is strong politically from the 2023 presidential race. But despite the gang up, I must contest for President in 2023.”

Okorocha also alleged that there was an ongoing conspiracy to stop him from going to the Senate in 2019.

Saying that he was too big to represent just a senatorial district after being a governor for eight years , the governor said his mission to the Senate was to go and make a positive difference.

“There is a conspiracy to stop me from going to the Senate. Hope Uzodinma has joined Senator Osita Izunaso. There is an alliance with Jones Onyereri. They will use security agencies to stop me. I am going to the Senate to make a positive difference,” he said.

Okorocha said he was fighting what he called neo-colonialism in Imo politics.

Maintaining that political forces from the West and North were working to hijack the state’s politics, the governor said, “If care is not taken, a time will come in Imo State that before a sitting governor appoints a commissioner, he will first get an approval from either the West or the North.

“Most of the Igbo elite have compromised but I am the only person who has not compromised and will not compromise.”

Its a good move. Nice to hear

Auladimeji1:
That's why I love walking around with my erect dick every Sunday morning. Do me I do you

The saying "many are mad but few are roaming" is becoming truer by the day.

If some women are mad/indecent, must men too be mad/indecent?

Common men!

dainformant:
While most Nigerians are blaming the government for the problems in the country, a man has decided to expose the theft/scam being carried out by some traders in order to make quick money.

In a trending video posted online (watch below), some women were caught removing about eight Derica cups from each bag of rice after which they will use a new bag to repackage it and make it look 50kg bag of rice.

This is what they do to make extra cash as the bags of rice are later sold to unsuspecting customers who have no idea how they've been scammed.

Nigerians while reacting to the video, urged the government and appropriate authorities to look into the issue carried out by the corrupt traders.

Watch the video below.

This is a whistle blower kind of matter na. He should have made money whistle-blowing this matter to EFCC/DSS

nwanyionitsha:
They have members and they are encouraging them to stay back and vote.

Nwanyi Oma, it all depends on the circumstances when that time comes. The safety of Ndigbo is Paramount, not their being used for someone's electoral success.

You will agree with me that the Igbo nation has sacrificed a lot for Nigeria- lives, properties, name it.
Our safety matters more now, than anything else.

I do not encourage any Igbo person to run for election this time. However, this threat from "IDA" is just null and void and of non effect.

IDA has no such powers that will restrict people's movement. Even the Federal Government of Nigeria cannot just restrict the Ndigbo from enjoying their constitutional right to freedom of movement (except in an emergency situation).

lloyds:
You dont need to be paid to do this. . every sane person in a sane country knows Atiku is not worthy of elder stateman not to talk of contesting for presidency.

But well, this is Nigeria. If am in Abuja i would be there too.

Pls, kindly educate me on the facts (not rumours or allegations) you have against Atiku. I may join you camp if you are acting/speaking based on facts.

APC seems to be trying so hard on this Atiku VISA, but Turaki can still win the presidential election even without visa, if Nigerians chooses.

PHILipu1:
Peter Obi the tribal bigot who will not wear the Hausa cap or identify with them but want their vote to be vice president?

You are wrong.

Obi couldn't find his matching cap, because of the size and shape of his head, while there weren't enough time to source his size of the cap.

Note that.

TheKingIsHere:
Even Buhari will soon come and support/campaign for Atiku in Sokoto.

Wow!

You are too much. I wonder how zombies will feel seeing what you just created ( Buhari, Osibanjo, boss Mustapha, Aisha, Oshiomole Atikulated?)

haywire07:
It's Not that he likes Atiku that much, but he just can't get over what Buhari did to him. Even if PDP presents a goat as their candidate, Goodluck will support it

No!

Goodluck rather has a heart of gold, not vengeful like some persons.

If you know, you know

gensteejay:
The problem with you people, religionists, is that you're arrogantly ignorant.

You know so little about that Bible you're carrying all about because I can't fathom how a right thinking, enlightened man will study the Bible from the beginning to the end and still take the book, Yahweh or Jesus seriously.

The errors, mistakes, and contradictory statements and figures in the book are just too outrageous.

With the bias mind such as yours, you must see contradictions in the good book (the Bible). But am sure, if your bias is cured, you will see the light that's capable of saving your poor soul.

Jesus loves you, and your folks!

REDshouse:
Some pigs will soon bombard here now

Don't be desperate to abuse anyone.

On a second thought, why will someone be shown, given or introduced to something he is supposed to have in his achieve/albums

Mom of "nine"?

Then not real white. The real whites do not breed 9 children. Perhaps there happens to be a cross breed.

edunwablog:
The Sokoto State House of Assembly on Thursday confirmed the appointment of Alhaji Manir Dan-Iya as the new Deputy Governor of the state.

This followed the adoption of a motion by the Deputy Majority Leader Alhaji Ibrahim Sarki (PDP-Sokoto North II) at plenary.

Speaking on the motion Sarki urged his colleagues to confirm the appointment of Dan-Iya due to his qualities.

“In view of the provisions of section 191 subsections (3)(c) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended.

“Gov. Aminu Tambuwal submitted the name of Alhaji Manir Dan-Iya for confirmation as deputy governor of the state.

“The person so recommended for appointment is an astute politician with an impressive grassroots appeal, he will bring his experience to bear in the governance and overall development of the state,” he said.

The motion was unanimously adopted when put to a voice vote by the Speaker Alhaji Salihu Maidaji who presided over the plenary.

Dan’iya replaces Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu, who resigned on Nov. 13 after security the All Progressive Congress (APC) governorship ticket for the 2019 poll in the state.

https://www.akelicious.net/2018/11/sokoto-assembly-confirms-dan-iya-as.html

Good move.

Tambuwal carry on. You will succeed.

This statement is from a biased mindset.

Buhari cannot be the decider of the matter he averred.

Legally, he just made a prejudicial utterance and as the very man who controls INEC, its a dangerous comment.

If Lai had been known for saying the truth, I would have believed him on this one

The fact is: humans are going to be safer and more secured to stay alive when they minimize the rate of avoidable movements and journeys.

Just like a wise man was advising some Corpers a day ago, "the less the travels you embark on, the more safety you are certain of"

buhariguy:
militant are also APC state, terrorist nnamdi KANU is also APC.

I can see you're obsessed with triviality,

Omon605:
Yeah you scored him well, 100% because Buhari was the VP then and his the one that used the boys that turned to BK

Except you uninformed, you should remember that book h began in an opposition state and that state is APC friendly and member state.
They created it and has maintained the monster among them.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has said Boko Haram was formed by youths abandoned by politicians.

The PDP presidential candidate stated this in a chat with The Africa Report while speaking on how he’ll counter the sect.

“I happen to know how Boko Haram came into being. They were offshoots of political thuggery. Politicians used those boys in Boko Haram to win elections and then abandoned them and then there were no jobs for them.

“It was the same thing with the Niger Delta. In 1998, I saw it myself and I warned people.

“It’s going to be a multifaceted approach. It will involve negotiations. It will involve military action”, he said.

On the incessant herders/farmers clashes and cattle-rustling, Atiku declared that grazing reserves was the solution.

“In each province in the north, we used to have a grazing reserve. During the season, the cattle are in the reserves.



“When it is off-­season when farmers would have cultivated all their crops, then the cattle move out to the areas where the farmers have cultivated, allowing the grass in the grazing reserves to grow. These grazing reserves have been abandoned over the years.

On the fate of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu and former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, Atiku noted that the rule of law must be respected.

His words: “I don’t want to be individualistic on this issue. I reject any illegal detention, any detention that is not based on rule law and order.

“Dasuki is being detained il­legally. It is only a court that will say whether he is guilty or not.”

On calls for secession by some South-East, Atiku hinted on “a conference to discuss reconstruction”

“I don’t think there is any part of this country that wants to leave this country. All they want is fairness, equity and justice”, he added.

Atiku scored this exam.

They forgot to mention the name of the specie of snake they share blood relation with. Or does it comprise all the species of snakes?

WetinConsignMe:
And deservedly so. He ordered the worst genocide in Nigerian history AND, by accounts of foreign powers in the know, he was quite corrupt!

This is heart touching. The pictures

Going by what majority of Nairalqnders have written in response to this post; late Gen. Murtala Ramat Muhammed will be sad and rolling in his grave.

firestar:
Speechless.

Seconded. (Equally speechless).

lalasticlala:
My beautiful Nairaland family, I just want to announce that my beautiful and lovely wife has given birth.

I took her to hospital by 2.30 am, and we welcomed the baby around 8am this morning.

Will share my experience later.

Thank God...

Naming ceremony comes up on Wednesday, next week.

Thanks, thanks to all that Congratulated. I appreciate.

Wow!
More blessings.
