I thought they said only northerners and buhari fans are senseless

You're a fool. Can't you see that the gutter may be dry. His clothes are clean and even covered his mouth and nose from any possible odour.

Use your senses to see the smartness

Thugs that have overrun the town and destroyed sensitive materials in places believed to be PDP strongholds

This is why apc will do anything(including phone calls to the electoral officers) to drag an election into a rerun; to enable them mobilise thugs and touts to harrass and destroy the votes.

If you are one of those who voted in this apc into this nation, may God reward you accordingly

Since ghanduje wants to use thugs to vote for himself in one LGA to overturn the 26,000 votes the PDP candidate has, Kwankwaso and pdp should get their thugs to go down to that LGA and destroy all the sensitive materials.
It has become clear that one can not defeat apc in this country if one doesn't arm and breed thugs too. In Fact, any day I will run for office, I will tell my men to watch out for even policemen sent to assist in rigging our votes. Anyone they catch, they should lynch him too.
APC is evil and you need to match them with superior evil.
Demonic party

The world has seen Buhari's certificate. When will we see your father's

Can you swear with your life that what we saw was buhari's certificate?

INEC should immediately cancel this election in kano state and declare the winner of the 23rd main election as winner. What is going on today is not an election

I actually held this burutai in high esteem but he is a weakling who has let politicians drag the military under his watch to the mud. The military era under him will forever be remembered as the era our once noble army was reduced to ordinary election touts.

*Jimmy Ameh*

By the end of proceeding at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on Thursday, March 22, 2019, in the trial of Justice Walter Onnoghen, the harassed, embarrassed, humiliated and suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, it was obvious that the allegations against him, which emanated from a petition signed by Dennis Aghanya, for himself and on behalf of Anti-Corruption and Research Based Data Initiative, was a classic act of mendacity which won executive support and appeal.

A short recap: The prosecution had listed six witnesses to testify, in the effort to prove, that in accordance with the petition, Justice Onnoghen had 55 houses hidden across Nigeria. They were also to help the prosecution to establish allegation that Justice Onnoghen operated foreign accounts where he hid away undeclared monies, running into billions in total.

The swiftness of action against Onnoghen left tongues wagging. Actions taken between the time the petition against him was sent to the Code of Conduct Bureau and his arraignment before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, could have won Nigeria a platinum medal in seriousness. But that’s not the real issue.

The real, and disturbing, issue now is that despite listing six witnesses, the prosecution closed its case after only three testified. Among the three that testified were Awal Yakassai, a former director in charge of political office at the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) and Ifeoma Okagbue, a banker with Standard Chartered Bank.

In his witness testimony, Yakassai denied allegations that Onnoghen did not declare his assets and rather stated that his (Onnoghen) assets declared in 2016 were yet to be verified by the Code of Conduct Bureau. He also testified that contrary to claims that Onnoghen owned 55 houses, that he indeed has only five, one of which was sold to him by the Federal Government of Nigeria.

On the other hand, Okagbue testified that contrary to claims that Onnoghen operated a foreign account, that all his accounts are domiciliary; and are domiciled in the Wuse branch of Standard Chartered Bank. She also read out bank balance on Onnoghen accounts as well as confirmed that indeed, the bank advanced a $500,000 facility to Onnoghen. The social media has gone bust since these facts were stated before the tribunal.

These testimonies put a huge lie on the allegations against Onnoghen. They also show that the federal government had other motives in moving against the Chief Justice other than fighting corruption. It simply says that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, assisted by desperately mendacious officials, was fighting corruption by corrupt means. It also proves as truth, insinuations that Onnoghen was being hounded for fear he may lead the Supreme Court to redress planned fouling of the electoral process. Rotimi Amaechi gave credence to this when he appeared on a television station where he begged opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to kindly accept outcome of the presidential election, as it is, as a brotherly thing and wait for 2023 when “we will tell INEC to conduct a proper election”. INEC itself has been unrestrained in its condemnation of the use of Nigeria Army and Nigeria Air Force personnel in messing up the electoral process, especially in Rivers state, where Amechi promised violence, prior to the elections.

However, the bigger question that still begs for answers is the new national demand on Dennis Aghanya to face Nigerians with proofs of his allegations against Onnoghen. He has to tell Nigerians where the 55 houses he claimed in his petition belonged to Onnoghen are located. He also has to come to terms with the reality of his claims of financial impropriety against the Chief Justice. At least, that is what honour demands.

Besides, Aghanya owes reasonable members of the public detailed explanation as to how he laid his hands on Onnoghen asset declaration form given that the law establishing the CCB does not allow any official of the Bureau to release an asset declaration form to anyone. So far, there is no evidence of a Freedom of Information request from Aghanya to the CCB to make Onnoghen’s asset declaration form available to him or any member of his supposed anti-corruption group. This is more worrisome, especially, when other members of the group, had publicly distanced the group, and themselves, from Aghanya’s action. So, Aghanya owes the world a whole lot of explanation.

Further, the no case submission by Onnoghen indicates that there was nothing to defend in the trial. This means, in essence, that Dennis Aghanya misinformed the tribunal and lied in his petition. In other words, he perjured in his action which makes him liable to prosecution and possibly, a jail term. As it is now, it is obvious that Aghanya lied against Onnoghen and ought to be punished appropriately.

Not prosecuting and penalizing Aghanya, in the same manner some fake whistle blowers are being prosecuted, would mean that insinuations that he was an accessory to a high wired plot led by Ministers in the Buhari administration, notably, Rotimi Amaechi and Abubakar Malami, assisted by other members of government, who are desperate in their bid to sustain their places in a government that is in need of purposeful direction.

As things are now, Onnoghen may have the last laugh. But his ego has been bruised. This is classic Buharinomics. The strategy has always been to name and to shame even if it means to lie shamelessly about reality. It shows that most of the administration’s leadership strategy had been couched in lies, sold as lies and managed as lies to an undiscerning and noisy public that is blinded by devotion. Lai Mohmmed is classic here. Perhaps, the Onnoghen case will make the administration to re-work its strategy of mendacious leadership – a strategy that would make all honourable officials to quietly quit if they still think honour.

**Ameh writes from Abuja*

He had F in a subject. No p.
Has your president written waec exam

He's in minority so it's not important.

He may file stay of execution on Monday but until he does that and it's granted, Adeleke is the governor of osun state

That is the major problem with APC governed states. Apart from the early days of Ambode, there is no single APC governor that bothered to deliver on their promises to the masses. They all felt that as long as they were in the good books of the presidency, they didn't need the people.
Now, that the chips are down, they now remember their people at the last minute. If the presidency had refused to help any governor with dss, compromised police force, compromised army or biased inec staff, almost all state governors of apc will lose their re-election.
So ghanduje knew these wards and LGA need these projects but ignored them till now? Let thunder fire him

I will advise the APC candidate to accept the judgement in good fate and leave. Afterall, he has since recouped his campaign expenses and must have looted enough within that time

The whole money in all of Onnoghen's accounts can hardly buy the two power bikes buhari's son bought and crashed

That a president has someone like Lauretta Onochie as his side shows the very low level of governance quality of this administration

Can someone please ask Rochas Okorocha what happened to the Imo Air he floated with imo state billions that flew only for one day and disappeared.

And then the scam of the Air Nigeria that gulped billions.

Frankly, there is a spirit of failure that is following APC govts wherever they are found

Watch as freeze will keep quiet as church of Satan attacks him. If it were a Christian church now, he will flex muscle

I thought they said this girl is now born again and now preaches?
Issorai

But he never said he travelled? He said he's in govt house. Do you see how this photo (which we know is an old pix) is contradicting his stand?

If all men will be this firm with their emotions, all these nonsense slay stuff will stop

Security chiefs that meet with buhari only when elections are to take place but never when bandits, boko haram and fulani herdsmen over run towns and kill in their hundreds

Change church. Or at least attend another church for some months. It's not like you're learning anything from the salvation messages in the church.
Who knows, the new church you will join will eventually make you see that fornication is a sin before God.

Skengman:
I beg to differ. Wike brought this upon himself. Without the Army Neighbourhood Watch members would have being on a rampage.

Then the army should have been on watch for the neighbourhood watch but instead the army was now the one on offensive, abducting inec staff, destroying ballot papers, carting away materials, shooting voters, chasing away party agents from the collation centres etc.
At the end of the day, they were the criminals, not the neighbourhood watch members.

Look at how burutai has allowed Amaechi to reduce the Nigerian army, a once noble institutions to ballot box snatchers and touts.
Nigerian army under the watch of Bututai will forever be remembered as the era our once noble army became common electoral touts

Also, 37 members of house of reps defected from APC to PDP, only 2 got re-elected and they are from Benue State.

But almost all these people didn't even contest for the Senate on coming to PDP.
From Kwankwaso to Gemade. While one left to vie for another office

Kyase:
Is that all?

Nope.

Clement Nnachi. Ebonyi senator.


But you are the researcher. You should know all these by now

Kyase:
And who again?

Andy Uba

Should I continue?

And can you also do a list of senators who defected from PDP to APC that lost their seats, starting with Akpabio

It's only in PDP states that we still see development and governance. Most APC states are now about show of power with no idea of governance
