I read this earlier today, the exact news but it stated Tony Nwoye.

nairavsdollars:
Take it or leave: Orji Uzor Kalu is the new leader of the South East after Ojukwu. He is the only man who can ask Igbos to give their 100 percent votes to Buhari and they will comply

He was given a few conditions before being allowed into APC as a prerequisite to perpetually delay the countless efcc cases against him and one of the conditions is that he will sweep south east for APC. So the poor man has to comply or face jail. He is doing all this to save his skin

Is he not an APC governor anymore? Do they look like they give a damn about the people's welfare.
Next time, Nigerians will learn to vote wisely than emotionally.
As for Imo people, you all deserve what you are getting.

This present administration is the worst in the history of Nigeria. They are full of deceit, lies and propaganda.
May God repay them and all who had a hand in bringing them in adequately.
So after releasing lies that Buhari had approved the treatment of ekwueme abroad as if it was a favour, whereas it was his entitlement, they have even failed in giving him his statutory entitlement as an ex VP.
Yet, that bastard called abba kyari would have the audacity to provide an air ambulance and boldly state that it's the best they can do while documented evidence showed that he when sick, despite not being an ex president or VP had his medical bills abroad fully borne by the federal govt of Buhari.
Anybody who knows kyari or Buhari should tell them that God will punish them up to their third generation.

And if you are reading this and you voted for this nonsense, God punish you!

Caseless:
this post wasn't here when I posted below you. You edited after seeing mine?

Not at all. My honest and frank opinion.
Maybe great minds think alike indeed

Tony Nwoye of APC has never worked in his life, I can attest to that fact. All he has done since uni is feed on SUG fees and later NANS dues,from where he advanced into political thuggery for the political elites in anambra and Enugu state. Those god fathers rewarded him occasionally with posts.
Now he wants to be governor.



Meanwhile, why are people shouting at Obiano's jibes. If you follow US presidential debates, you will savagery at it's highest.

It's not easy to be an incumbent and walk out unscathed because every other candidate will be building their points and argument on your few lapses.
Yet, Obiano walked out with his head high which shows he had performance behind him.
I give him kudos. It's easier to throw stones from outside.

stephleena:
hahahaha,that "something" is d devil speaking...lol, this one,is not ur normal village square fight..

Stay there. That thing says, "Go, you can do it! " "You can make it! " And I believe it. Once I dare get 1,000 likes, am going in. No holds barred. The fight must take place in Jos, plateau state during harmattan.

Something tells me I can beat this guy. Am thinking of challenging him to a fight.
If I can get just 1000 likes, I will make that challenge. A few dodges here and there. A few punches too. Get him to round 3 and then bite his ear in 4 and game over.



....besides, I need the money.

Must be an APC governor

sunnysunny69:
Your people need to beg and apologise to him if you want infrastructural projects, simple.

Can u list the infrastructural projects your people are enjoying since Buhari came.

He's just gonna end up inconveniencing the good people of igboland going about their daily activities without bringing any single value to the region.

Look at the kind of answers we get from Buhari appointees. There is no single appointment that Buhari has made that deserves a standing ovation

stevoskyj:
They look like a couple and i think the chief bridesmaid is not comfortable

That was the first thing I noticed. The chief bridesmaid is very uncomfortable with this. As the cameras snap away, it makes her look like she is in a lesbian wedding with the she-man beside her

A night man will always move at night

One of them has been beaten into looking like a Chinese Tai-chi master.

If you want to name a street after a person, atleast construct an entire new road for it. Not cleaning an existing street to name after her.

Frankly,am dissapointed with osibanjo. It seems bashing Jonathan is a prerequisite for acceptance in APC and Buhari's cabal, but I had expected osibanjo to be higher than that. He even degenerated to the lowest level of lying

That boy is a colossal disappointment.
He won't achieve anything until he severes ties with that his chief of staff, onoja who has diabolically caged him under his control.

NaijaElba:
you stole another person's comment on facebook just to get cheap likes here. cant you use your brain for once. It is a pity.

If you saw this post elsewhere, the person took it from me. I created this while joking with my wife about him before deciding to write it here.
And by your rant on a false accusation, you must be an angry kid.
I blame your parents though

Just one day in police custody and he's already looking like a man. See his beard all jumping out.
They should transfer him to Kirikiri for just one weekend and he will give his life to Christ

Amobi should cool down

He has failed in every indices of governance

ajepako:
No.... Madam Remi doesn't have a child with Tinubu

Are you serious? I didn't know that. So sorry

OboOlora:
No! That's the mum in glasses!

OK. Tnx. Is bola Tinubu her husband and father of the deceased

Is this boy Tinubu and remi's biological son?

More often than not, leaders across the world are put on the defensive either in form of a backlash for a policy misstep or by the ferocious snap of their political detractors.
Also as frequent, though, is the tendency of their aides to swiftly intervene and minimise the magnitude of public relations damage a controversy could inflict on their principals.
This is what top officials of the Buhari administration have done over the past two and a half years.
Within this period, the government has endured its fair share of public relations nightmare.
From disowning its official campaign document following citizens’ demand for fulfilment of promises; to blaming rats for budget inconsistencies, some of Buhari administration’s excuses could stack up well with those of Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, Saddam Hussein’s spokesperson who was declaring victory on TV even when invading Americans could be seen launching sorties in the background.
Following the recent blaming of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party for the scandalous recall of a dismissed fugitive into public service —an excuse that rivals the legendary dog-ate-my-homework parlance— PREMIUM TIMES collates 10 of the government’s most controversial, even ridiculous, excuses.
This list is by no means exhaustive, but here’s our top 11 in no particular order:

1. Rats invasion compelled president to work from home
The administration came under intense ridicule when it claimed that President Buhari was compelled to work from home because he discovered that rats had taken over his office when he returned from his latest medical vacation in the U.K.
The presidency was trying to disabuse the public from reports that the president might not have recovered well enough to undertake presidential duties.

2. Ministers are noisemakers
When Mr. Buhari began feeling the heat from the public after failing to appoint ministers nearly four months into his term, he excused himself by undermining the role of ministers.
“The ministers are there, I think, to make a lot of noise,” the president said during a trip to Paris in September 2015. He hyped the efforts of civil servants as crucial to running public service.
While civil servants play long-term roles by virtue of their career, the ministers have constitutional roles to play in government.
While the civil servants could be delegated by the president, ministers help drive the policy of an administration. They sit at federal executive council meetings with the president for policy directives.
The policy agenda of an administration based on its ideology is foisted on civil servants to implement through the ministers, who are political appointees and usually members of the ruling party.

3. Rats tampered with budget
The Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole, blamed rats for manipulating the budget of his ministry — subsequently disowning it.
The excuse competed with an earlier claim by lawmakers that their version of the same 2016 budget had suddenly gone missing.

4. PDP responsible for Maina scandal
Abdulrasheed Maina, a civil servant and former chairman of presidential task reform team, was dismissed from service as an assistant director in 2013 by President Goodluck Jonathan for alleged corruption.
Mr. Maina was recommended for prosecution, but he fled from the law to Dubai. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission then declared him wanted.
In 2015, Mr. Buhari defeated Mr. Jonathan’s bid to return for a second term in office.
No one had heard much from Mr. Maina since he bolted until two weeks ago when PREMIUM TIMES revealed that the Buhari administration, despite its claims to be tough on corruption, had surreptitiously reinstated him into the civil service.
The public outrage that followed the report sent the administration reeling.
But rather than take serious disciplinary measures against those responsible for the gross violations and implement changes that would forestall future occurrences, the presidency decided to shirk responsibility — in the most bizarre way it could.
Mr. Shehu, unsurprisingly, issued a statement, putting the blame of Mr. Maina’s return on Mr. Jonathan, who had stopped directing Nigeria’s affairs for 875 days preceding the scandal.
Of course, Mr. Jonathan lashed out at the administration, describing it as “uncoordinated and rudderless“. But even this wasn’t nearly as scathing as the barrage of insults directed at Mr. Buhari and his aides for passing the buck.

5. Recession is just a word
When Nigeria’s economy plunged into recession last year, the Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun, moved to assuage the fears of Nigerians.
Mrs. Adeosun urged citizens not to be frightened about the development, saying a recession is just “a word.”
Following public backlash, she later denied ownership of the Twitter account, saying she could not have altered such. The tweet was also deleted.

But two days later, PREMIUM TIMES spotted a video that showed Mrs. Adeosun actually making those statements.
“I know people are concerned about recession. Recession is a word,” Mrs. Adeosun said. “We can come out of recession.”

6. Handover notes delayed ministerial appointment
Apparently having forgotten that he had earlier downplayed the importance of ministers and said he was not in a hurry to appoint them, Mr. Buhari in November 2015 said Jonathan administration officials were to blame for delay in ministerial appointments.
During a speech at the National Democratic Institute, which came a few days after he inaugurated the first set of ministers, the president blamed the Jonathan administration for submitting “vague” handover notes to his own government.
Throughout the speech, which was read by Lai Mohammed, the minister of information who represented him at the event, nowhere did the government highlight the specific aspects of Mr. Jonathan’s handover notes that were vague.
This excuse is ridiculous because handover notes are optional and, all over the world, incoming leaders are known to have selected key cabinet positions even before their inauguration.
When the National Assembly considered major amendments to the Constitution, it included a timeframe within which a new president must name cabinet members.
The lawmakers did not consider the significance of any handover note before imposing no longer than 30 days from the day of assumption of office because they know it’s not mandatory, even though it’s part of the democratic process.

7. Buhari postponed Federal Executive Council meeting to receive a report
Mr. Buhari returned from his latest medical vacation in London on Saturday, August 19. His first FEC meeting was supposed to be Wednesday, August 23, but the president postponed it.
A State House statement said the decision was taken to give the president a chance to receive a report on alleged corruption by suspended Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babachir Lawal, as well as the discovered Ikoyi cash haul involving the National Intelligence Agency.
A picture later circulated shortly after the statement, which showed that the president received some documents from the Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Receiving a report should take a few minutes at most. And this could be done before or after the FEC meeting, which usually holds between 10:00 a.m. and noon.

8. PDP to blame for all that ails Buhari’s government
Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service, Hameed Ali, dropped a hoopla on Friday when he held the PDP responsible for Mr. Buhari’s shortcomings.
Mr. Ali, a key ally of the president, declared that the administration has failed, but said all the recorded misfortunes could be ascribed to PDP’s alleged influence over Mr. Buhari’s choices.

9. Federal Executive Council meeting cancelled because of Sallah
The FEC meeting for Wednesday, September 6, was cancelled since ministers had no time to prepare their paperwork due to Sallah break, according to Mr. Mohammed.
The government declared public holidays for Friday, September 1 and Monday, September 4 for 2017 Sallah. The celebration itself held on September 1.
The excuse sent tongues wagging across the country since the FEC has a fixed date that all cabinet members are aware of.
In 2014, Sallah holidays were on October 6 and 7, yet the Jonathan administration convened FEC on October 8.
It was only in 2013 that FEC was cancelled because October 15 and 16, Tuesday and Wednesday, fell on public holidays for that year’s Sallah.

10. Unnamed official made scandalous insertion into president’s speech
While launching a campaign to preach against “widespread act of immorality” a year ago, Mr. Buhari lifted quotes from Barack Obama without attribution while reading from a prepared speech.
The plagiarism was later observed by a THISDAY columnist, Adeola Akinremi, earning the president another round of public condemnation.
The presidency subsequently blamed the scandal on an unnamed deputy director at the State House, even after Mr. Buhari himself had apologised for the damage.

11. SSS Recruitment Scandal
When, in April, PREMIUM TIMES uncovered how the State Security Service quietly recruited far more persons in from the north than the south against the country’s federal character laws, the presidency responded.
In a distributed statement on the same day, the Buhari administration confirmed the lopsidedness but said it was informed by an alleged imbalance in previous recruitments carried out by the agency.
But no evidence was provided to support this claim, despite requests that the nominal roll of the agency showing staff distribution by states be published. It was clear that the presidency was only playing up some of the excuses that were adduced on social media by the administration’s loyalists.

So because he provides for her, that gave him the right to embarrass her publicly?
This life. When men give money the whole world must know. That’s what happens when a man is feeding you. Get you own money ladies.

You don't seem to get it. Did you read it? He didn't embarrass her publicly. She embarrassed herself publicly. She would have saved herself the embarrassment if she had not used the money meant for her car repairs to buy fake hairs and whitening creams. Nobody brought it on her but herself

igbos will always Excel where there is a level playing field for merit to thrive, that's why Nigeria is in a mess because they fear that though merit system will move Nigeria forward, they fear that Igbos will emerge at the top. So they let the backwardness brought about by tribalism and nepotism to continue

Maybe she uses the cream to bleach for those that admire her when he travels

Davido.

The man has actually failed at everything he ever tried. It's in him
