APC CAN LIE

Lie Lie Governor go siddon, these days Oshio now talks like Amechi. Trying to paint APC as saint. Am an Esan man and my vote and the vote of all Esan people of Edo state goes to GEJ. Oshomole should go and die.

they are always raising alarm, this is the 3rd alarm in 12 days

munex007:
Dear intelligent Nigerian - Are You Aware?
• That Skye Bank Plc Chairman, Chief Tunde Ayeni bought Nigeria's moribund M-TEL/NITEL for $252M?
Are You Aware?
• That Skye Bank Plc Chairman, Chief Tunde Ayeni bought the Ibadan (PHCN) Disco Distribution?
Are You Aware?

• That Skye Bank Plc Chairman, Chief Tunde Ayeni bought Mainstreet Bank Plc for #120B for skyebank to acquire mainstreet bank?
Are You Aware?

• That Skye Bank Plc Chairman, Chief Tunde Ayeni donated a whopping N2Billion to President Goodluck's re-election fund on Saturday 20th December?
Are You Aware?
• That President Goodluck Jonathan just
after 2 days of receiving # 2B donation from Skye Bank Plc chairman, has approved increase in tariff of PHCN?
...................    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .....................
It's unfortunate that people who support
Jonathan misrule to continue think they are doing Buhari harm. The only harm being done is to themselves and every other Nigerian. By 2019, our country would have been completely sold to the highest bidder and nothing will be left for us, honest and hard-working Nigerians if u allow PDP to continue. !!!.
• If you hate Buhari because he is a Muslim, at least look at his Vice, he is a Pastor. • If you hate Buhari because he doesn't have a "Primary Six certificate", as some ignorants are claiming, look at his Vice, he is a Professor of Law. • If you fear that as a formal military leader, Buhari may have the tendency of not upholding the rule of law, then look at his Vice, he is a distinguished Lawyer and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.• Even if you think Buhari has nothing to offer, he cannot be as hopeless, corrupt and harmful to Nigerians as Jonathan's Government. !!• You have no reason to allow this corrupt administration of GEJ / PDP to continue till 2019 when you can booth them out now.•
Vote wisely. Be intelligent.

was he the only bidder or was the highest bidder, Same way tinubu owns almost everything in Lagos and even fully controls 10 ministries in Fashola's government. This is why we want #jimi in Alausa

IF THIS TWITTER HANDLE IS NOT VERIFIED, I WON'T BELIEVE ANYTHING HE TWEETS.

APC are know for 3 things, to Lie, cry and complain.

By Abdulmalik Suleiman



The news of General Muhammadu Buhari emergence as presidential flag
bearer of the leading opposition party in the nation, the All Progressives
Congress (APC) sent reverberations across the political landscape in the
country.

General Buhari with his undying quest to clinch the top job after series of
futile attempt is again angling for a return to power for a second time as
leader of Nigeria and the first time as a civilian president, has become
the trending issue in several political discourse.

Buhari to many represents the epitome of anti-corruption, discipline,
integrity and performance. He is considered the hope of the future
incorruptible breed of Nigeria; the bastion for good governance and the
symbol of a progressive Nigeria.

This faith and belief is predicated on his antecedents as military
president in his first showing as president when he imprisoned hundreds of
well-meaning Nigerians under the guise of corruption; he championed the War
Against Indiscipline (WAI) campaign which under his draconian rule also
locked up many.

However what his hirelings and propagandists who have properly propped the
old soldier to national appeal could not do was to remove the fact that
˜Mr. Perfect still has oil stains on his white *agbada*. His PR
agents are
oblivious of certain issues that white-wash propaganda cannot erase; they
have negated the fact that Nigerians have very critical minds.

Buhari, a man widely acclaimed by his supporters to be Nigerian champion of
anti-corruption has been uncovered as a make-belief crusader, who has
succeeded to hoodwink the Nigerian masses into living in his not so
beautiful utopia of Nigeria in the early 80s. It has already been revealed
that this facade of uprightness an incorruptibility is a pawn in his larger
game of chess to make up for his inability to amass wealth in his time as
military head of state just like his co-travellers, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo
who led the pack of ex-president’s longing to lay their hands on the
national treasury.
* Atiku Abubakar*

Former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has been identified as a
political prostitute and turn-coat politician who has jumped from one
political party to the other “ firstly the Peoples Democratic Party, then
to the Action Congress of Nigeria and then to CPC and now the All
Progressives Congresses (APC). Atiku today is considered a stupendously
wealthy Nigerian who used his position as Vice President to amass wealth
through corrupt activities during Obasanjo administration. However,
during his years in service as customs officer, he was caught smuggling
millions at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, and later left the service
unscathed owing to shenanigans by the Northern Emirate. Same Atiku, holds
the highest record ever of theft of public treasury, while serving as vice
president of Nigeria between 1999 and 2007, with a trail of unsolved
corruption allegations ranging from the Siemens to the harliburton scandals.

Only recently the details of the report of the US Committee on Homeland
Security indicted Abubakar as being responsible for the laundering of over
$40 million (about N6 billion) were released, this corruption czar has
remained an APC financial pillar.



*Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu*

Enter the grand general of corruption and mayor of the entire South-West,
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu who has pocketed the whole of South Western
Nigeria. Known for his personal and crude culture of politicking, Tinubu is
widely acknowledged as a corrupt and sneaky politician who cannot be
trusted judging by his ability to deploy his illicit wealth to manipulate
and cause tension in the polity. Tinubu who has annexed the whole of the
North West to become his empire and personal fiefdom is Buhari’s right hand
man. Needless to add, same Tinubu was indicted for cocaine, heroin and gun
crimes which cost him $460,000.00 in the early 1990.

As governor, the Asiwaju perfected the art of siphoning local government
accounts for personal gains and allocating juicy contracts to cronies and
proxies in a bid to maintain his firm grip on the state coffers. There are
several unsettled cases of financial graft and abuse of office dangling
over Tinubu neck. Sadly, are these the crop of self-serving cult of
individuals clamoring to lead the country to greatness? Nigerians will not
be subjected to any form terror by this set of characters masquerading as
saints; we shall reject in totality these political jobbers who are only
after the expansion of the business empires.



*Gov Rotimi Amaechi*

Governor Rotimi Amaechi has been on the defensive over the years owing to
his tyrannical political posture. The governor who has acquired sea of
enemies from all political divide, principally among is President Jonathan.
Amaechi has deployed all available state resources to finance his political
aspirations and has rendered Rivers State a beggarly empire.

There are myriads of unsolved corruption cases against the governor; the
Bombardier plane and the famous allegations of illegal acquisition of
Reliance Bank Building (N400 million), Fleet House (N650 million) all on
Olusegun Obasanjo Road, Port Harcourt and other choice buildings in the
highbrow Old GRA of Port Harcourt. Also inclusive is his official Guest
House while serving as speaker.

The phantom mono-rail project in Rivers State only exists as a mirage which
has no corresponding semblance with reality on ground. Further plunging
the Rivers State into debt and penury, Amaechi donated a whopping N17
billion naira to finance the APC campaign. Are these not glaring cases of
wanton abuse of public office? Nigerian will be work to frustrate the
activities of these cohorts.





*Gov Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano) *Early this year, there where brickbats between
President Goodluck Jonathan and the Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso
whom Jonathan described as a fraudster for embezzling allowances meant for
party delegates during the 2010 PDP Presidential primaries. Kwankwaso a
rabble-rouser has not failed to expose his lack of commitment towards the
development of the Nigerian State, but would rather chose the path of
fanning the embers of violence by churning out inciting statements at
President Goodluck Jonathan and his government, describing it as inept,
clueless and incompetent. Perhaps suffering from diarrhea of the mouth or
maybe blinded by his inordinate ambition to rule Nigeria by hook or crook,
the governor has done little or nothing to deepen unity among Nigerians
towards peaceful co-existence and harmony.

It instructive to send a clear signal to Nigerians to be wary of the antics
of these self-serving political jobbers. Nigerians should reject this band
of demonic fraternity called the All Progressives Congress in totally come
2015, this collection of Nigerians who hid under the cloak of good
governance, justice and equality do not mean well for the Nigeria masses,
they are a bunch of tired and drowning clique aiming only to further lead
the nation into economic retrogression and poverty. They should be rejected
and made to face the law owing to corruption cases against them.


*Governor Rochas Owelle Okorocha (Imo) *
Since May 29th, 2011, Imo State and her people have been witnessing ˜
Abracadabra™ in government of Governor Rochas Okorocha, where lawlessness,
insecurity, kidnapping , negative and half hazard polices, deceit,
showmanship, lies and falsification, lack of procedure and total neglect to
lay down procedures and heavy debt burden to the incoming administration
has characterized the government.

There are gross allegations of corruption and highhandedness against the
acclaimed people Governor, Rochas Okorocha by concerned Imo State
indigenes, asking plethora of questions hinging on the abuse of office
where huge funds allocated monthly to the 27 local Government areas in Imo
State, and received for disbursement by Imo State Government since May 2011
till Date that is well above N180 Billion has been misappropriated and
nothing has been done with the funds.

There is no gainsaying that Governor Okorocha who never prepared for
governance has ended up destroying Imo State and its economy with his
clueless and inept administration. Today Imo as a state is presently run as
an offshoot of Rochas Foundation with his siblings and in-laws visibly
milking the state dry with impunity. In Imo one man has sold 80% of Imo
state resources including choice lands to himself while 99% of Imolites
wallow in abject and extreme poverty.

We are repeatedly being told that Nigeria is practicing “democracy”. But
what type of democracy is in Imo State in which governor Okorocha refuse to
organize elections into local governments since 2011? Instead, he has, in
contravention of the constitution and the democratic rights of the
electorate, appointed his cronies into “caretaker committees” and they are
running and looting our local council funds with impunity. What a brazen
rape on our democratic rights.



*Former Bayelsa State Governor, Timipre Sylva *

There are myriad of corruption cases hanging over former governor Timipre
Sylva, a staunch APC stalwart, who during his administration engage in
various corrupt and money laundering activities. This APC Chieftain has
been in court severally of which cases are still pending bordering on
allegations of converting huge monies belonging to the State ranging from
N380,000,000.00 (Three Hundred and Eighty Million Naira), N20,000,000.00
(Twenty Million Naira), N50,000,000.00 (Fifty Million Naira), respectively
throw proxies.

Timipre Sylva, induced Union Bank, Plc, with the intent to defraud, to
grant an overdraft facility of the sum of N2,000,000,000.00 (Two Billion
Naira) to the Bayelsa State Government under the false pretence of using
the amount to augment salaries of the Bayelsa State Government.

Interestingly, Nigerians keep records of events happening in the polity,
and Sylva graft case is pointer to the makeup of the APC party who are
desirous of ruling the country. Nigerians are saying NO to corrupt
government officials who have nothing meaningful to offer than to further
plunder the country resources.



* Mallam Nasir El-Rufai (Former FCT Minister) *
Mallam Nasir E-Rufai was former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory
who ran the ministry like a shylock landlord. The former minister used his
office to render many Abuja residents homeless, by demolishing house and
re-allocating plots to cronies and friends as a way of political patronage.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission instituted a case against the
Minister during his administration bordering on conspiracy, fraud and gross
abuse of public office. El-Rufai who is currently a chieftain of the
opposition All Progressive Congress Party, APC, connived with the former
Director General of the Abuja Geographical Information Systems, AGIS, Mrs.
Altine Jubril and the former General Manager of the establishment, Ismaila
Iro, and fraudulently allocated several plots of land to his wives,
relatives and between 1999 to 2007.

Recently, the former Minister boldly declared that if elected as governor
of Kaduna State, he will repeat a similar demolition policy in the State.
And we ask; is he truly for or against the masses? Obviously, el-Rufai
means no well for the army of Nigerian who are suffering from housing
deficit. This is a clear case that the APC has nothing to offer Nigerians
than to increase the suffering of the poor masses.


*Former Governor Danjuma Goje (Gombe State) *
Former Governor Danjuma Goje of Gombe is currently a senator of the
Federal Republic, who has spent two terms (a total of eight years) as the
governor of Gombe state. He is among many States governors
characteristically known to divert State resources, security votes for
personal gains.

The Former Governor has severally been guest of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC), for investigation in a large scale looting of
state resources.

EFCC sources declaring Goje wanted had issued a warrant of arrest over
massive conversion of state fund into personal pockets. More than 70
billion naira ($450 million) in public funds, especially a huge chunk of
Sate security votes was allegedly diverted to personal coffers. Sources
said more revelations are being compiled about Goje financial
mismanagement of State funds during his tenure as Gombe state governor.

The question begging for answers now is, are these the kind of people that
Nigerians can trust to lead and direct the country on the path of
sustainable economic growth and development? Hell No “ we reject them!!

The Pat Utomi-led United
Niger Delta Energy Development Security Strategy,
UNDEDSS, has faulted a former governor of Lagos State,
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, over what it described as his reckless
attempt to give an ethnic coloration to the critical issue of oil
theft, by accusing President Goodluck Jonathan of being
responsible for the stealing of 400, 000 barrels of crude oil
daily in Nigeria.
UNDEDSS, which is a coalition of ethnic nationalities and civil
society organisations in the Niger Delta, therefore, warned
the All Progressives Congress, APC, national leader to put a
stop to his perennial ethnic profiling of the region’s people,
for reasons of “cheap political ambition”.
It would be recalled that Tinubu, while speaking at the flag-
off of Governor Abiola Ajimobi’s campaign in Ibadan, the
Oyo State capital on Saturday, alleged that President
Jonathan and his government was behind the crude oil theft
and should be voted out by all Nigerians during next
month’s presidential election.
“Jonathan and his government are stealing 400,000 barrels
of crude oil every day in Nigeria. He is telling us that he
cannot see that amount of crude oil being stolen in the
system, yet he calls himself the President. He is running a
government of thieves and we will use our votes to send him
away. He is taking away all our wealth”, Tinubu was quoted
as saying in his address to APC supporters in Ibadan.
But the group, in a statement by its Secretary-General, Mr
Tony Uranta, said: “Tinubu persists in his dastardly attempt
to demonise the Niger Delta and its people. UNDEDSS may
be compelled to immediately place him on the active no-vist
list that restricts enemies of the Niger Delta and its
otherwise-hospitable people from setting foot within our
regional space with impunity”.

WisdomFlakes:
Dapada! Back to sender! You don't speak for all Nigerians! Make that IGBOS -- we know a lot of you still have civil war loss hangover so you detest anything Hausa. So speak for yourself and folks alone!

The overwhelming majority of yorubas have pitched their tent with GMB & there's nothing you can do about that.


I am Nigerian, Yoruba, and I support GMB. Thanks God Igbo votes dont really matter and aint enough to re-elect GEJ else this country will be finished!

YORUBA WHEN NOR GET MIND GO THE BOAST. IF THEM SEE TROUBLE NOW THEM GO RUN.

THIS IS PDP KANO RALLY,

barcanista:
PDP has sent that AIG Mbu to harrass Lagosians and Ogun State residents. We well resist him with every legitimate tool at our disposal and stop his evil assignment. Mbu, you SHALL be disgraced out of the force and not retire honorably if you think you can abuse your position to satisfy the man in Aso Rock. Nonsense

U LIED, HE WAS SENT TO HARASS ALL THOSE PLANNING TROUBLE IN LAGOS AND OGUN

That's my president ride on.

bakila:
The Chibok girls issue is the responsibility of the President and CIC. That he allowed his wife to do the now (in)famous diarisGodooooo drama on national television increased the question to be asked of how serious the government looks at the safety of its citizen and how much its knows of anything that affects them.

the wife of the CIC is even better than an ex-head of state who doesn't know the full meaning of INEC. Also Fayose is a Nigerian how has right to say whatever he wants.

WHEN APC WHERE BUSY CAMPAIGNING WITH THE CHIBOK GIRL IT WASN'T STUPIDITY, BUT NOW FAYOSE IS STATING THE OBVIOUS FACT, YOU GUYs ARE CRYING. EVERYONE KNOW BUHARI IS A SICKMAN.

AND WHO SAYS HE IS THE ONE TYPING THIS SHIT, SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW THE FULL MEANING OF INEC. I DOUBT IF HE CAN EVEN RECALL HIS PHONE NOS

OMG THIS IS REALLY FUNNY, I THINK THE PRESIDENT IS RIGHT WHEN HE SAYS THIS MAN CANNOT REMEMBER HIS PHONE NUMBER

You don't expect to a man without certificate and expect good education. Secondly APC as a party believes education is for the rich e.g LASU and AAU. I better vote the GEJ I KNOW. He is better off than all those broom carrier

This man talks b4 he thinks sometimes

JK is okay, the right man for Lagos job. We want Lagos to be for everyone and not some set. Of people. Ride on sir. We don't want a tinubu puppet, Ogbanje abi na ambode. Dem call am.

THERE HAVE BEING LOTS OF CRITICISM SINCE YESTERDAY WHEN THE PRESIDENT VISITED BORNU, WHILE MOST MEDIA SEES IT AS THE PRESIDENT FIRST VISIT, IT COULD BEEN SEEN THAT THE PRESIDENT HAD VISITED THAT SAME PLACE SOMETIME IN MARCH 2013. BUT COME TO THINK OF IT, DID OBASANJO VISIT THE NIGER DELTA DURING THE NIGER DELTA STRUGGLE? EVEN AFTER DESTROYING ODI AND KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE.
