And who assassinated him?

Ask your party

Which foundation? Show us the foundation

Stalwert:
It is clear there is no length PDP will go to return to power

It still does not change the fact that Badeh was assassinated

Sikay19:
Gbam, All these happened within the PDP era. And one overbloated idiotic aspirant and agent of lies as his vice are busy feeding lies to gullible ones about businesses being fold up. ignorant people doesn't know that the calamity started no be today. when you failed to deliver for that long period of time then there is no sense in trusting you with power again.
PDP government in Nigeria never again !

Can't you guys have any meaningful conversation without mentioning PDP, these are private airlines that the owners mismanage now you blame PDP for that too.
I believe you would soon blame PDP for your parents having sex to conceive you, it is becoming an obsession which is not good, you guys are now having the traits of psycho disorder

Elzak:
when it comes to greed of workers whose fault is it?

How do you intend to measure the greed ? I don't think the workers demand is out of place. With the kind of resources we have in Nigeria the workers should be paid 10 times what they earn at the moment. So I don't see them being greedy but rather government being insensitive

Elzak:
there u go again. One very big problem we have in Nigeria is that every thing is left to the govt

When it comes to welfare of workers whose duty is it ?

Elzak:
ASUU should change; we don't want to be used as bait in extorting the government claiming the fights is for us anymore, we don't like them bleeping our girlfriends, friends and sisters anymore, we don't want disrupted academic calender anymore and we don't want prolonged stay in school anymore

Then it is the obligation of the government to ensure all that you listed above are met not ASUU

Elzak:
Change begins with me. Let ASUU change first

Why should ASUU change, the government has still not change, looting is still taking place but you want ASUU to change

ihatesycophant:
You no nothing.
Young man, it's part of his duty. He's vested to manage and coordinate the economy. What he's doing is social safety network to petty traders. Isn't better than sharing it to political jobbers.
You people should reason for once. If PDP had been given the petty traders this money rather than sharing it among themselves Nigeria would have gone up in the poverty index for better. To petty traders N10,000 is something to them. After 12 months the returns would have been bigger than the capital if judiciously used.

So you believe that 10,000 will make a difference in today's buisness in Nigeria, tell me what kind of business you will start with 10k since you know so much, send me the business plan for a 10k business

helinues:
Let them change their modes of operandi and see how they will be funded. Remember poor funding does not start from this current FG.

When poor funding started is not the issue, moreover this government promised to change things from the old ways, so they should live up to their promises.
That was why they were voted into power, not to complain and tell us when it started

shachris02:
honestly do you sleep on nairaland ?

He does, no meat for him to sell or roast

helinues:
Have they changed their styles of teaching/tutoring?

Fund them well and see a lot change

The 2015 governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, in Rivers State, Dakuku Peterside has called for unity amongst party members in the state.

Peterside said unity among APC members, irrespective of their grievances, was the key to wrestling power from the current administration of Governor Nyesom Wike.

In an interview with newsmen during his 48th Birthday celebration in Port Harcourt, he also said peace should be restored devoid of hatred and animosity.

On the 2019 appropriation Bill presented by Governor Nyesom Wike, Peterside, who is also the Director General of Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, said the budget had figures without projection for life changing projects and policies.

“The APC must unite so we can save Rivers State from misgovernance. I can tell you Governor Wike has no clear cut vision for Rivers State.

“The number one challenge of Rivers State is insecurity, then comes unemployment. Unfortunately, this current administration in the State lacks what it takes to address the issues.

“Wike can’t run Rivers State. He has absolutely no idea how to go about it, we must come together, not only as APC but as Rivers people to remove him because of his incompetence,” Peterside said.

You have found your voice back, Amaechi boy

helinues:
Anything to avoid unnecessary strike are welcomed.

ASUU never for once ready to work.

Have you paid them the one they worked for

Afamed:
Since previous VPs were spear tyres under 16years of PDP. PDP ain't used to VPs performing their Constitutional roles. The evil party would have preferred if the trade Moni is shared among their party members just like how money meant for arms was shared this time around in 2015 among the 99 thieves. The fugitive Vp was busy selling all the Nigerian assets while he was in office years ago

Then hawking 10k is now the duty of a VP, the duties of the VP is clearly spelt out in the constitution, make out time and go thru it, don't be a lazy Nigerian youth

Mynd44:
No single statement in the article shows how he did.

Smh

Who then brought it to FP ?

felixawe:
Does that mean he's failing - Is this admittance of failure !

Don’t reinforce failure by re-electing incompetent govt, Obasanjo warns Nigerians

Merry Christmas to you all

So you agreed that you failed the first time, pls just go we don't want you to repeat, Just go with your failures

50,000 Sokoto PDP members desert Tambuwal for APC

In a major blow to the second term ambition of Sokoto Governor Aminu Tambuwal, 50,000 members of his Peoples Democratic Party have switched allegiance to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The defectors were received by Sen. Aliyu Wammako, the APC strongman and Tambuwal’s former godfather.

Among the defectors were former Special Advisers to Gov. Aminu Tambuwal, former local government Chairmen and former State House of Assembly members, as well as many other officials of PDP in the state.

Sen. Wammako, welcomed the new entrants into the Party and assured them of equal treatment with all the existing members of APC in the state.
Wammako further said that many more members of the PDP had already joined the APC and promised to unveil them soon.

He warned the Tambuwal government against intimidating the workers who have pitched their loyalty with the APC.

“No amount of intimidation would deter the people of the state from massively loving and supporting APC and all its candidates, at all levels.
“Moreover, in a matter of weeks , the APC will take over the state, while President Muhammadu Buhari, including all the party’s candidates, at all levels , would be massively voted by Nigerians,” he said.

Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu, the APC governorship candidate and Tambuwal’s former deputy said, “all the PDP members who initially went astray have now come back to the right party.”

He congratulated them for joining the APC and assured them of equal treatment. He promised to emulate Sen. Wammako’s leadership qualities when eventually elected.

The Director -General of the State APC Campaign Council, Alhaji Yusuf Suleiman, who was a former Minister of Transport commended Wammako for providing credible and worthy leadership to the party and its members in the state.

Spokespersons of the defectors, Abubakar Dantama, former Chairman of Silame Local Government and Murtala Hassan, former state Assembly member said that they joined APC, because the party stands for justice and fairness.

They also promised to assiduously work to ensure the success of the party’s candidates, at all levels in the general elections.

By Temidayo Akinsuyi

Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), in this interview with TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI speaks on his expectations for the New Year, his thoughts on the 2019 presidential election and other issues. Excerpts:

What are your expectations for Nigeria in the New Year especially under the Muhammadu Buhari administration?

I expect things to get better in 2019. The economy will get better and the situation of things will greatly improve. Nigerians will begin to see that the coming of Buhari has been a great blessing for this country. They will also see that some of the foundations he is laying down now for accountability, transparency, honesty and integrity and applying the resources of the state judiciously for infrastructure and other things of development will become permanent. No government in future will be able to fritter away the resources and leaving the masses suffering as it was done in the past before the coming of Buhari. So, I strongly believe that he is going to leave a permanent record which successive governments have to struggle to meet.

The 2019 election is coming up in few weeks’ time. Do you see President Buhari retaining his position?

I have no doubt that President Buhari will win the presidential election by a landslide.

Don’t you see Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as a threat to him with many Nigerians believing that Northern votes will be divided between the two?

Atiku can’t divide his votes in the North and he will not get anything significant in the Northern region. Everybody especially in the North trust Buhari. They have confidence in him because of his records and integrity. They are sure that whenever he makes promises, you can hold him to his words. You cannot say that of Atiku. Nobody will want to leave what is good, what they have experienced and now take a risk for something that is uncertain. So, I believe President Buhari has performed creditably well to deserve a second term and Nigerians who are appreciative of what he has done in the last three and half years will ask him to continue for another four years.

Were you surprised by the actions of some federal lawmakers who booed President Buhari recently during his budget presentation?

The action of the lawmakers who booed the President was nothing but an animal behavior. Harry Belafonte used to sing one song. He said ‘ A donkey will sometimes bray, let him bray; let him bray’. That is my response to the actions of the lawmakers. We should allow their donkeys bray. They behave like animals and they just demonstrated their true nature during the budget presenation. We should just tolerate them at their low level of humanity and conduct. You saw what the President told them. He said they are expected to be above this because the whole world is watching them. I think the President is wrong because they are not above what they did. That is their level and they are demonstrating it to the world. So I am not surprised at all.

Some lawmakers in the House of Representatives have begun moves to revert Nigeria to parliamentary system of government. Do you see this as a step in the right direction?

I believe Nigerians (this time unemployed legislators) have found a new favourite subject for debate and wasteful diversion of time and resources. Suddenly, Parliamentary System of Government is the holy grail for Nigerian political salvation. For days now, the media, both orthodox and social have become fiercely engaged in pursuing a new political chimera with excitement and apparent seriousness.

Let it be made clear, the whole idea of one system being better than the other is “poppy cock”, time wasting, arising from either ignorance or mischief. The mischief here being to have a Buhari with reduced powers.

In 1963, when I was an undergraduate at the University of Ife, the Students’ Union invited Chief Rotimi Williams, soon after he left office as Attorney-General of the Western Region, to address the Students’ Body on which system was preferable for Nigeria: Parliamentary or Presidential? I have never forgotten his answer. Briefly summarised, it was that neither of the two systems was better than the other.

The success of Governance depended on the quality of the operators of government. Bad operators, i.e., bad politicians and “leaders” would always produce bad and failed governance. In other words, the fault was not in the system of governance, but in the quality of the operators of the system.

We were operating this suddenly “golden” parliamentary system then. It led to a declaration of a state of emergency in the Western Region, restriction and detention of major political figures, crisis and violence, and the fall of the first Republic. The fault dear Nigerians, was not in that system, but in the irresponsible and reckless manner in which First Republic politicians conducted themselves.

It is even more foolish to think that the introduction of the parliamentary system will weaken the Buhari Government and empower the opposition. On the contrary, the Prime Minister under a Parliamentary System is far more powerful than a President under the Presidential system.

The Prime Minister combines the positions of Leader of Parliament and Head of Government. He does not need the confirmation of parliament to appoint Ministers. It is his sole prerogative. If a vote of no confidence against him succeeds, he can dissolve parliament, and compel his critics and foes to face a fresh election in which they might not be returned.

In other words, a Prime Minister is President and Speaker of the House of Representatives rolled into one. Never mind the fact that the British Parliament has someone designated “Speaker”. All he does is to recognize House members who wish to speak.

The Prime Minister must be recognised above every other person as soon as he or she rises up to speak. The Speaker has no discretion in that regard. It is the British Prime Minister who exercises all the powers currently enjoyed by the Nigerian speaker. The House of Lords (Senate) is simply a decoration intended to give the aristocracy and retired elder statesmen a false sense of importance and relevance.

The Prime Minister is effectively, National President, Speaker and President of the Senate, rolled into one. To bring home the message clearly, there will be no “Saraki”, no “Dogara”- in that system. Buhari will bestride the Nigerian World, under the parliamentary system being proposed.

The Senate and its President in such a system is an impotent and relatively unimportant body. It can delay, but cannot hold-up legislation. In fact its opposition to any bill can be overridden by the House under the leadership of the Prime Minister.

So those calling for the re-introduction of the Parliamentary system in the mistaken belief that it will result in a weak Executive Branch should think again. They are foolishly asking for a system in which a powerful Prime Minister will control both the Legislative and the Executive Arms of Government. My advice to them is “Beware of what you wish for yourselves.
