Who are you calling dictator ?

Ex- President Obasanjo removed Senate Presidents at will, removed any opposing voice, removed Fayose for a small insult, and removed Ladoja with thugs in Ibadan. Who are you calling “DICTATOR”? BUHARI.

Ex-President Obasanjo withheld Lagos State fund for 3 years, not minding how Lagosians would eat, Yaradua got there and released the fund.

NASS members were abusing President Buhari openly, messing up everything at will; Gov. Fayose has been abusing President Buhari for 4 years now. Not a single State in Nigeria has been denied their constitutional rights because of politics till date, all their funds, Paris fund and bail out, FAAC etc. But who is the DICTATOR? BUHARI.

Ex-President Jonathan ensured that NASS opposition members were locked out including Tambuwa the Speaker of the house. They had to climb gate to gain access.

Jonathan empowered OPCs in Lagos and they were destroying anything in Ikorodu to Ojota that looked like opposition party. Orga of DSS was used to invade APC secretariat, Journalist arrested and Newspapers siezed, we forgot all these….

Ekiti was militarised, Fayose was given power from Aso rock to order Military guys at will. Fayemi the incumbent at that moment was rendered powerless that he was shouting when Police commissioner was used by PDP and a guy was shot…All these videos and pictures are still here (google is your friend). But who is the dictator? BUHARI.

Ex-President Jonathan met FX+ECA at $62 billion+. He DEPLETED it to less than $30 Billion in 5 years Jonathan sold crude oil for 5 years at an average of $100 per barrel of 2.2 million daily (2010-2014). Did he add a DIME to Nigeria purse in 5 years? NO.

Buhari the ILLITERATE sold oil at an average of $50 of less than 700,000 barrel at some points because of militancy, yet had moved that FX to $47 Billion in 3 years.

Don’t say how much did he borrow if you don’t even have the figure borrowed between 2010-2015 without adding a dime to FX.

Who is the ILLITERATE? BUHARIIII. Jide Omokore, Aluko and oil goddess Alinson made an oil deal of N1 trillion and chose not to remit to Nigeria under GEJ. Did anyone raise eyebrow?

INTEL of Ex-Vice President Atiku refused to remit to Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), not until last year that “ordinary” Hadiza the NPA boss challenged INTEL and insisted the funds must be remitted.

A Christian Professor had been leading JAMB all through Obasanjo to Jonathan yet for 40 years of JAMB; only N52 Million was remitted to FG.

A Muslim Professor who was appointed just in two years of handling JAMB remitted over N15 Billion. FIFTEEN BILLION. So who is following after righteousness?

For five years of Okonjo Iweala was paying over 45,000 ghost workers unabated, yet just within 3 years, “ordinary” Kemi Adeosun removed such nonsense…I ask again who is more effective?

Ordinary Abuja metro lane took 11 years from OBJ period that he INITIATED it…Ordinary intra-city metro lane o, but President Buhari that finished is within 3 years is the failure abi?

“Which project did President Buhari INITIATE and COMPLETE in 3 years yen-yen-yen”.
Mention any major project INITIATED AND COMPLETED in 3 years of Ex-President Obasanjo, or Ex-President Yar’Adua or Ex-President Jonathan?

So on what parameters are you using to judge 3 years of President Buhari INITIATING AND COMPLETING? Even PDP can’t finish their own secretariat let alone that which belong to NIGERIA.

Lagos-Ibadan road since Ex-President Obasanjo era till Ex-President Jonathan could not be finished. In 3 years of President Buhari, the road is receiving serious attention. Ask those who ply that road and those who go for Holy Ghost Congress monthly about
the difference in pace of work. Wait, even Otuoke road in Bayelsa had to wait till President Buhari now starts to do the road. Who is the failure? Can it be BUHARIIII.

What about “Almajiri School in the North? WHERE exactly are these Schools SITUATED in the North? OK, show us the picture.

Emm, 2nd Niger Bridge? Lol, they completed it on the MAP, yet Fashola is on it PHYSICALLY now.

Did Buhari fail on security issue in Benue? YES. Did others before him fail on the same security issue in Benue? YESSS. So where did you get all these noise of “Fulani President” is helping herdsmen?

Who was the President during Jos crisis, herdsmen killing people in Zamfara in 2013, Odi massacre, Kaduna crisis? You think death suddenly started because President Buhari was a Fulani man? That he failed in that is one thing, but that YOU are making a narrative of “Fulani President” is giving herdsmen power is funny.

January 1, 2018 in Omoku, Rivers State, Christians were coming from Church; cultists from the South South killed their own people. You know why there was no serious noise by CAN and you? You could not link it to President Buhari’s herdsmen or Fulani herdsmen. The same WIKE that did not drop a million to support the families of those bereaved in his constituency (State) went to Benue State to donate N20 Milliion and you hailed him

Kidnapping of School children in Lagos; Badoo issue in Lagos; Crisis in Kaduna. Who did you call on? Ambode the Governor of Lagos and El-Rufai of Kaduna. When crisis happened in River State and Benue State, who did you shout about? President Buhari the herdsmen. What about your Bishops, Pastors and Imans that made Aso Rock their abode between 2010-2015? What did they negotiate for the body of Christ or common citizens? Yes, they got their jets; they got waivers and Universities all PERSONAL. Now that the tap to fuel their jets and lifestyles had stopped, all they tell you from the pulpit is “LIES and Prophelying“. Your anointed ones keep saying ANNOYING THINGS, yet you can’t query their lies?

Wait, I remember again your problem with President Buhari fighting corruption selectively. So, mention ONE name among those in EFCC case without a case to defend. If your hero Presidents had fought corruption with one leg, by now shebi it is the second leg that President Buhari will be fighting.

So what is your problem with the corrupt facing the music? Oh, how about blablablabla. If President Buhari did not catch them, somebody else will. But stop crying in defence of the corrupt being asked to face the music. If your uncle is corrupt, tell him to face it, and stop shouting how about other thieves.

I know you lost your job because Ex- President Jonathan lost out and your job with Mama Patience was terminated. But stop using your personal loss as a yardstick for Buhari’s achievement.

Under your hero, several young Nigerians were SCAMMED by Boro collecting money from them for Job, in the process killing many young Nigerians. Ex-President Jonathan cannot even sack him. So what do you want the families of those who died when Ex-President Jonathan scammed them of Jobs to do? Stop crying and face life.

For your information, all those lies about “hidden agenda” can only fly on you because they know you are biblically illiterate. I even saw somebody hailing Femi-Fani Kayode for being the voice for the Church. Haaaaaa, abomination. Abeg make I stop, come dey collect your abuses in packs. After all your abuse, na President Buhari I go still vote for. #

BOLA TINUBU To OBJ

"Greatness is not in Aso Rock but PMB took greatness there. You weren't great because you are President, you're President because you're great. Just like Awo, Zik, Ahmadu Bello, Aminu Kano, Uncle Bola Ige, Mko, they were great without being President. OBASANJO had been President three times, yet, he is still in desperate search for greatness....

He didn't write Buhari until Buhari honored MKO and June 12. He saw that as wickedness to his person. He said to himself "How can another man from the SW be greater than me?"...but the truth is even in death AWOLOWO and ABIOLA are by far greater than OBASANJO even if he lives for the next one thousand years....

OBASANJO has no conscience. He is the only President that disobeyed the Judgement of the SUPREME COURT on LAGOS Allocation. But today, he said he's fighting for the judiciary. What is he smoking

From 1999 to 2007, Obasanjo didn't want to hear June 12 or ABIOLA. He never supported JUNE 12! And within 3 years of PMB Government, he recognized June 12, apologized to the Abiola Family, Yorubas, Nigerians for the annulment of June 12 and death of MKO. He went ahead to honor him and declared June 12 as Democracy Day.....Now tell me, who is a Democrat between OBASANJO and BUHARI?

According to Obasanjo, Abiola was not the messiah, Abacha was terrible, Yaradua was ineffective, Jonathan was worse, Buhari is awful & Atiku he once attacked viciously but now supporting is untrustworthy & a thief".

At least 41 serving senators have lost the opportunity of returning to the Red Chamber for the ninth assembly in June, Daily Trust on Sunday reports.

This is based on the list of Senate candidates released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday.

The list showed that only 68 out of the 109 senators have chances of returning as they have obtained return tickets of their various political parties. The 41 senators who have lost the opportunity of returning represent 38 per cent of the total number of those currently in the Upper chamber.

Daily Trust on Sunday reports that it is not clear if all the 68 senators who got return tickets would win during the February 16 elections.

Most of the senators lost their return tickets to others within their political parties, although six among them picked governorship tickets in their states, hence did not contest for return tickets.

Those who went for the governorship tickets are; Senators Jeremiah Useni (PDP, Plateau), Sunny Ogbouji (APC, Ebonyi), John Owan-Enoh (APC, C/River), Usman Bayero Nafada (PDP, Gombe), Hope Uzodinma (APC, Imo) and Abdulaziz Nyako (ADC, Adamawa).

A few other senators did not seek re-election, hence they did not take part in the primaries.

Our correspondent reports that based on the INEC list, a total of seven serving governors got tickets to contest for the Senate. They are; Kashim Shettima (Borno), Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe), Rochas Okorocha (Imo), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo) and Ibrahim Geidam (Yobe).

It was also observed that five former governors who are serving senators are not returning. They are; Ahmed Sani Yarima (Zamfara), Bukar Abba Ibrahim (Yobe), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso (Kano), Joshua Dariye (Plateau) and Jonah David Jang (Plateau), all of whom did not seek return tickets.

The list also showed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has no candidate in Rivers and Zamfara states. All serving senators from the two states are of the APC.

While an Appeal Court ruled that the APC could not field candidates in Rivers State due to certain irregularities, INEC rejected the party’s candidates in Zamfara State, citing lack of adherence to deadline for conducting primaries. But the matter is before a court.

Thus, the number of senators who lost return opportunity may be reduced to either 38 or 35 if the matters in one or both states are eventually resolved.

Our correspondent observed that all senators from 11 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) got their return tickets.

The states are; Abia, Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Bauchi, Delta, Edo, Kaduna, Kebbi, Kogi, Ondo and Sokoto.

A careful examination of the Senate candidates’ list showed that none of the three senators from Bayelsa State will be returning. Emmanuel Paulker and Ogola Foster lost their return tickets to Diri Douye and Ewhrudjakpo Lawrence respectively while Ben Murray-Bruce did not contest for the ticket despite showing interest initially.

Also, the tickets that took the three senators from Ogun State, that is Olanrewaju Adeyemi Tejuoso, Buruji Kashamu and Joseph Gbolahan Dada to the Senate are now being held by Governor Ibikunle Amosun, Adeola Ayoola Sosanwo and Akinremi Tolulope Odebiyi, respectively.

Similarly, the three senators from Osun State, namely Olusola Adeyeye, Babajide Christopher Omoworare and Ademola Adeleke will not be returning. They may be replaced by Basiru Ajibola Surajudeen, Famurewa Israel Ajibola and Kamoruddeen Olalere Oyewumi respectively, who now hold the tickets. It was learnt that Adeyeye did not seek re-election.

In Plateau State, all the three senators: Jeremiah Useni, Jonah Jang and Joshua Dariye will not be returning. Kefas Peter Dandam, Gyang Istifanus Dung and Hezekiah Ayuba Dimka got the Senate tickets in their place. Sen Husseini has since picked the PDP governorship ticket in the state.

One senator from Adamawa State, Nyako, of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), will not be returning as Umar Mustapha Madawaki picked the ticket to replace him. Nyako is now the ADC governorship candidate in the state.

In Benue State, Abba Moro picked the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ticket to replace David Mark, while Governor Shettima got the ticket to contest for Borno Central seat currently occupied by Sen Baba Kaka Garbai.

In Cross River State, Onor Sandy Ojang has picked the APC ticket to replace John Owan-Enoh, while Onu Nwaeze Prince secured the APC ticket for Ebonyi South to replace Sunny Ogbuoji. Both Owan-Enoh and Ogbuoji are APC governorship candidates in their respective states.

One senator from Ekiti State, Fatimat Olufunke Raji-Rasaki of the APC lost her ticket to a former member of the House of Representatives, Opeyemi Bamidele, while Gilbert Nnaji of the PDP from Enugu State lost his ticket to a former governor of the state, Chimaroke Nnamani.

From Gombe State come Governor Hassan Dankwambo and Binta Bello, a serving member of the House of Reps, who have secured tickets to take the seats of Senators Usman Bayero Nafada and Joshua Lidani respectively.

And in Imo State, Governor Okorocha and Onyewuchi Francis have secured tickets to replace Senators Hope Uzodinma and Sam Anyanwu. The two serving senators from the state contested for governorship tickets in APC and PDP. Uzodinma got his party’s ticket, but Anyanwu was not successful.

In Jigawa State, Danladi Abdullahi Sankara now has the APC ticket to battle for the seat currently occupied by Sen Abdullahi Abubakar Gumel, while Aliyu Sani Madaki, a House of Reps member, picked the ticket for Sen Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso’s seat in Kano.

Senator Abu Ibrahim of Katsina South, who did not seek re-election, will likely be replaced by Bello Mandiya, who got the ticket while Kabir Abdullahi Barkiya got the ticket for Katsina Central to replace Sen Umaru Ibrahim Kurfi.

In Kwara State, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, who was reported to have ceded his ticket to Senator Rafiu Ibrahim, has his name as the PDP candidate for Kwara South, while Zakari Mohammed, another House of Reps member, picked the ticket for Kwara North to contest the seat of Sen Shaba Lafiagi.

Sen Gbenga Ashafa from Lagos State will not be returning as Osinowo Sikiru Adebayo picked the APC ticket for his seat, while John Michael Abdul picked the PDP ticket for Nasarawa North to replace Sen Philip Aruwa Gyunka, who had contested for the governorship ticket.

Of the three senators from Niger State, Sen Mohammed Garba lost his return ticket to Muhammad Enagi Bima.

In Oyo State, only Senator Rilwan Adesoji Akanbi will not be returning as Governor Abiola Ajimobi picked his ticket.

Sen Isa Lau from Taraba State will be replaced by Bako Dahiru Gassol, while Governor Ibrahim Geidam of Yobe State now holds the ticket that took Senator Bukar Abba Ibrahim to the Upper chamber.

blackboy:
Listen to yourself or think 2wice. Any step , changes or removal or transfer or sacking between now and before the elections its common sense it towards rigging the elections to favour the incumbent. Not only PDP should be shouting but every Nigerian.

It is now he has case to answer? Why Did he just commit the offence?

Of what use is he to PDP that they are so worried? That's the question.
Instead the oncoming elections are the more reason why he should go. He lacks integrity to man that chair in this crucial time.

When any person is being accused of any wrong doing, he is presumed innocent until proven otherwise by a court of competent jurisdiction. The country's Chief Justice of the Federation claims he ''forgot'' to declare certain curious assets plus certain foreign bank accounts in which certain mysterious heavy cash deposits have been paid into, then you easily fathom why a lot of straightforward cases have been curiously and mysteriously decided against the natural cause of justice!
It then becomes simply easy to figure out why thieves have been able to rule and ruin this country for 16 years, and you then understand why almost every thief and rogue in Nigeria attacked and condemned PMB when he moved to cleanse the judicial arm of government in 2016!
Nothing will work unless the Goliath of corruption is slain in the judiciary, and PMB should not balk at this noble task no matter the attacks, criticisms and sentiments that the coalition of thieves and their criminal supporters will hurl at him. His popularity across the country stems from this radical war he waged in just 20 months (from 31st December 1983 to August 25, 1985), therefore he will continue to have this mass appeal as he courageously steps on these rogues sitting as judges in our halls of justice!
We need PMB more than ever!

But, PDP says the planned arraignment of CJN is a plot to rig 2019 polls by APC. They are not happy. Can you not see that is another cruel plan of PDP to force themselves back to leadership? Can you not see why Atiku has a pseudo confidence of winning 2019 polls? Can you remember the River state governorship litigation? It lingered up to the supreme court. PDP had judgement in their favour while APC was denied justice.Now, I know!

Goodluck was actually the president that cheapened the presidential office. He used his aids like Reno Omokiri, Femi Fani Kayode etc to thoroughly insult critics thereby opening his own flanks.
They threw all decorum to the winds and insulted statesmen and elders.
But Baba doesn't care as he knows that its a particular ethnic group that relish insulting him because of hatred.

Sai Baba!
The only people that will benefit are looters and crooks!
There's no vacancy in Aso Rock!

Let them go to hell! We ready to pay to vote for PMB as he has achieved in 3 years what all of them put together could not achieve in 16 years.

SpecialAdviser:
To what level was it when Buhari took over. I know many ignorant fellows are unaware.

The fact that all equipment and fittings are shining show that they are brand new.

That's great!

yinchar:
@lalasticlala

This deserve front page. The people needs to be informed.

Seconded.

That's a good one from the Chinese.

No be child's. PMB is building for the future. Some out there want us to eat our future today and put the nation and our children in jeopardy.

Even more

The 700 megawatt Zungeru Power Plant in Niger state is nearing completion. This was initiated by 35 years ago by Shagari and has been an avenue of siphoning government money by successive administrations.
But since deploying Fashola to the scene PMB has almost finished it.
God Bless PMB.
God Bless Nigeria.

PDP are at the forefront of these baseless allegations. Come out with evidence of your allegations else we wave them as a failed attempt by PDP to cause confusion in our midst.
Osho Baba is not a push over.

In other words it was PDP that formed Boko Haram. And yet you want to bring PDP back.

Foolish post.

Foolish post. If you don't have anything to post why not go and sleep?

They have the right to wear their Hijab. Nigeria is not a secular or Christian nation.

Where are they?

Mr. Obi please talk about the N250 million 2009 money laundering allegation on your head first.

chymer:
Why would you ask Obi to comment on your accusations.

Do you want him to deny or accept it?

Kindly help us petition the relevant agencies, and they will do their job, investigate him and sanction him according to the law of the land.

Stop being sluppy here, you are blowing a whistle and if it turns out to be true, your reward awaits you.

Lazy Nigeria youth!

The call is right let Peter Obi come clean on this. After all Buhari has produced his certificate.

Because you are an idiot.

david22uu:
I trust african Government.. If he wanted to pay them why not immediately he resumed, it when its three month to election, the ssame thing aregbesola did in Osun state. APC government and Propaganda... they cant just change

It was Biafra police first, then Railway workers and now this. What PDP failed to do in 16 years.

gidgiddy:
You don't know the names of those killed? You people care so much about the names of those killed but you don't care to ask your government why they sent Soldiers to go and kill unarmed innocent people in Kanu's home. What you people care about is the names but not the lives? Laughable people.

They have brought another TRIPOB and REIPOB.

I'm happy that Nnamdi Kanu's speech is all over the internet and everyone can hear when Nnamdi pray for the dead and honour them by observing a minute silence

Kanu is right because nobody was killed. Just prove one dead.

And bribing and manipulating the law is even worst.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has finalized plans to declare former Executive Director of National Health Insurance Scheme, Olufemi Thomas, over a $2.1 million (about N413million) suspected money laundering case.

A source at the commission said the EFCC has been on the trail of the former NHIS boss for weeks after a Bureau De Change operator, Ibiteye Bamidele, named him as the owner of a $2,198,900 cash, recovered from him by men of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency.

Mr. Bamidele was arrested on July 3 at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, Lagos, by officials of the NDLEA.

He was then handed over to the EFCC on July 8, for further investigation.

After Mr. Bamidele named the health insurance boss as the owner of the money, all efforts by the anti-graft agency to locate Mr. Thomas has been futile.

EFCC operatives, our source said, have combed every address associated with the suspect, including his known addresses in Lagos and Abuja.

Efforts were also made to locate him at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital in Lagos but that was also not successful.

The spokesperson for the EFCC, Wilson Uwujaren, confirmed the intensive search for Mr. Thomas, and the plan to declare him wanted.

He also urged anyone with information on the whereabouts of Mr. Thomas to contact the commission or the nearest police station.

Mr. Thomas was sacked as CEO of the NHIS on April 28, 2015 by then President Goodluck Jonathan and replaced by Olufemi Akingbade.

The real reason for his sudden removal remained unknown.

The NDLEA had intercepted Mr. Bamidele, the Bureau De Change operator, while he was carrying US$2,198,900 at the domestic wing of the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos.

The suspect, 46, was apprehended on his way to Abuja, the NDLEA said.

“Preliminary investigation conducted by the Assets and Financial Investigation Directorate of the NDLEA revealed that Ibiteye’s action is in contravention of the money laundering prohibition act 2011 as amended,” the anti-narcotics agency said in the statement by Mitchell Ofoyeju, its spokesperson.

“He alleged that the money belongs to one Dr. Martins Olufemi Thomas, a medical practitioner in Lagos. Investigation conducted by the Agency did not link the money to proceeds of narcotics.

“However, a country having insurgency challenge cannot afford to ignore suspicious movement of large amount of money.”

In his statement to the NDLEA, before he was handed over to the EFCC, Mr. Ibiteye said that he is a Bureau De Change operator.

“I used to work for Ebi Bureau De Change at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja before I established my company with the name ND&C Global Investment Limited which is yet to be fully registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC),” he said.

“One of my clients, Dr. Martins Olufemi Thomas gave me the said amount to take to Abuja. I was arrested by NDLEA officers while checking in the money at MM2 on my way to Abuja.”

Ahmadu Giade, NDLEA Chairman, then handed over the suspect and the cash to the EFCC for further action.
