Wailers jumping from thread to thread over this matter should face their satanic party and leave our party alone. If you're pained over the latest development, sign the embattled Governor into your FC.

As for those people screaming PMB cabals want to slice Tinubu into size are just wasting your time or you are kids in Nigeria politics.

As it stands today, PMB need Tinubu more than Tinubu needs him.
Ambode can be stubborn but he should ask the likes of Femi Pedro, Fashola, Obanikoro to mention few. You can do gra gra but you am damn sure you will take the humble pie last.

Is there any thread named after you ? You should be ashamed of yourself fighting over thread when your mate owns the site, Abi Seun senior you ? Thread grabbers !!!

Stand Down Or Face Impeachment, Tinubu’s Camp Threatens Ambode
“they are threatening to impeach him should he refused to bow to their demand to withdraw. The incumbent governor, who is traditionally entitled to another term is being harassed and intimidated by Tinubu’s political machine to withdraw for their new man, even though the governor had agreed to subject himself to primary. They are boasting that they will direct the State House of Assembly to immediatly begin impeachment proceedings against him


As high-wired intrigues continue to play out in Lagos State over the incumbent governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode’s re-election bid, competent sources saturday revealed that a key segment of the party led by the National Leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has asked the governor to stand down his second term bid or face impeachment. The threat to impeach the governor is an escalation of pressure being piled on him to drop his quest for second term.

A competent party source sympathetic to the governor, who demanded annonimity since he was not authorised to speak on the intrigues and power play currently playing out informed THISDAY yesterday, “they are threatening to impeach him should he refused to bow to their demand to withdraw. The incumbent governor, who is traditionally entitled to another term is being harassed and intimidated by Tinubu’s political machine to withdraw for their new man, even though the governor had agreed to subject himself to primary. They are boasting that they will direct the State House of Assembly to immediatly begin impeachment proceedings against him.”

The APC had initially insisted on conducting direct primary election to select its governorship candidate in the spirit of democracy. But it suddenly reversed itself, directing Ambode to withdraw from the contest to enable the party present Sanwo-Olu as the consensus candidate.

It also emerged yesterday via a statement from the Vice President’s office denying endorsing Sanwo-Olu. “It was while he was coming out of the GAC meeting that Mr. Sanwo-Olu and Mr. Hamzat took advantage of the VP’S presence to take the photos which are now being falsely paraded as proof of endorsement.

“The VP did not go there to endorse Sanwo-Olu., they only took advantage of his presence,” a source at the meeting confirmed last night.”

Rather, sources at the GAC meetings hinted that Prof Osinbajo, who is believed to be supportive of a second term bid for Ambode, conveyed the view of the Buhari presidency that there should be a level playing field in the overall conduct of the primaries.

Party chieftains spoke with THISDAY yesterday in confidence on the drama that took place at the meeting of the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC) held Friday night. They disclosed that the APC leader threatened to impeach Ambode if the governor refused “to step down for Sanwo-Olu.” Ambode was said to have looked him squarely in the face and refused.

But Ambode Mandate Support Group condemned the call for the governor’s withdrawal as undemocratic. The group also reacted to the postponement of the APC governorship primary in the state, which has now been scheduled for October 1, saying they were confident that Ambode would fly the party’s flag in 2019 election as it has received overwhelming support from several quarters for him.

There has been uncertainty about governor’s re-election after Sanwo-Olu, currently the managing director of Lagos State Development and Property Corporation (LSDPC), and former commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Dr. Obafemi Hamzat, declared their intention to challenge the governor in a primary contest.

As a result, the Mandate Movement, a powerful political machine of Tinubu, endorsed Sanwo-Olu for the governorship contest, heating up the state’s political climate ahead of the primary election.

Ambode’s travails had attracted the intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari; former Ogun State Governor, Chief Olusegun Osoba; Oyo State Governor, Senator Abiola Ajimobi; the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF); and the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF). They all tried to persuade Tinubu to make up with Ambode.

With the presidential intervention, Tinubu decided to consult the Governor’s Advisory Council (GAC), the state’s highest advisory political organ, comprising 22 APC chieftains across the three senatorial districts. But in its resolution, the GAC directed Ambode and two other aspirants to face the direct primary election.

At the GAC meeting held at Tinubu’s residence, Bourdillion, Ikoyi, Friday night, one of the party chieftains explained how Ambode addressed the leaders of the GAC, justifying point by point the reasons he decided to seek re-election in 2019.

Specifically, according to the chieftain, Ambode hinged his re-election bid on the need to complete various infrastructure projects and urban renewal programmes that his administration initiated in the last three years.

Despite his justifying his re-election bid, the party chieftain stated that Lagos Central APC leader, Prince Tajudeen Olusi, asked the governor “to step down for Sanwo-Olu. He claimed that the GAC had already endorsed Sanwo-Olu as the party’s consensus candidate.”

Another party chieftain revealed that a member of the GAC, Prof. Tunde Samuel, interrupted Olusi while he was telling Ambode to withdraw from the race, observing that Olusi’s statement did not reflect a common position of all GAC members that all aspirants should face primary contest.

In response to Olusi, however, the party chieftain claimed that Ambode simply told the meeting that he “will not step down for any governorship aspirants on the ground that it is undemocratic. He also said he stood by the earlier position of the GAC that all aspirants should face direct primary contest to foster democracy in the country.

The source stated, at this point, Tinubu, who chaired the GAC meeting, became angry and quickly interjected, threatening Ambode with impeachment, if he failed to stand down for Sanwo-Olu before the primary election earlier scheduled to hold today which was later postponed till tomorrow by the APC national secretariat.

THISDAY learnt that it was resolved at the meeting that a stakeholders’ meeting should be held on Saturday at the party secretariat, Acme road, Ogba. It was expected that Tinubu would come to the meeting to endorse Sanwo-Olu. To their surprise however, thousands of Ambode’s supporters thronged the venue chanting Ambode solidarity songs and raining curses on national leader: Tinubu ole Tinubu ole.

Eventually, Tinubu was forced to stay away.

When THISDAY contacted Tinubu’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Tunde Rahman, for his reaction to the threat to impeach the governor by Tinubu’s camp, he responded, saying he did not “have any comment to make.”

Rather than attending as originally planned, Tinubu delegated a GAC leader, Senator Anthony Adefuye, to represent him.

At the stakeholders’ meeting, Adefuye acknowledged that there was another GAC meeting, which held by 10 am on Saturday, noting that the meeting was attended by the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, and Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, among others.

Adefuye said, “The meeting was chaired by the APC national leader, Tinubu. This is a meeting that we started at 10am. And we could not finish early. After the meeting, I have been mandated by the GAC to announce this to you that the primary earlier scheduled for Saturday, September 30 has been shifted to Monday, October 1.

By the time they make like 5 arrest the rest will fall in line, impeach him based on what, because he refuse to step down, what nonsense, i am not an APC, but they should allow him contest, if Bello of Kogi can run why wont Ambode

sanpipita:
That's why Tinubu fought hard for osun, if he loses to ambode and had lost osun, he will have no governor under his control, he is in a battle of his political life

Which he will finally lose at the tribunal, because if PDP is given back its 1000 votes back then will have no governor under his control, and if Ambode should get the party ticket Tinubu is a goner.

Firefire:
APC members are too violent.

AND THEY WILL NOT WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION

No election officials arrived yet.

A member of APC in the area, AbdurRahman Ibrahim, told PREMIUM TIMES that the reason for the low turn out of the people may not be unconnected with presidential primaries experience where people spent hours waiting for party officials who were responsible for conducting the primaries

Juliusmalema:
Am seeing a better educational system

that is not good enough, the Abacha loot that was returned back should have be invested the educational or health sector, but instead, the Govt. decided to share the money amongst the poor i believe they may have spent the money and still remain poor, but if that money was invested in the health sector, i believe it will save a lot of lives.

Then back your response, fine we all want a better educational system, but first the living standard of Nigerians have to improve first, for them to afford such.

Juliusmalema:
I think ASUU is wrong

Am with govt in this.

My brother Let me ask you one questions,

How will the parents of children earning below 20k pay N500k as fees.?

It is very easy for you to say you are with them, most of the the person in power went to school on Govt. scholarship, but now they want you to cough out 500k, from where, will civil servant be able to sen their children to school, so if i am may ask what is your reason for being with them,please tell us, maybe there is something you are seeing that we are not seeing.

csnc:
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has rejected the hiking of school fees of university students as proposed by Dr Wale Babalakin, the chief government negotiator in the ASUU/Federal Government renegotiation exercise.

Prof. Lawan Abubakar, the Bauchi Zonal Coordinator of the Union made the disclosure at a press conference in Jos, the Plateau State capital.

Abubakar said, “One of the major issues our union wishes to bring to public domain is the wild idea of sharing the cost of education between the government and parents proposed by Dr. Wale Babalakin. This idea of sharing the cost of education since government alone cannot fund education, and that parents need to pay for it too.

“He proposed a minimum of N350, 000 as tuition fee for undergraduate students of Arts and Humanities, and N500, 000, for those in Sciences.

“Our union rejected the proposal based on the fact that the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria clearly states that funding education is the sole responsibility of Governments at various levels and not parents,” he maintained.

He added, “In his response, he proposed the idea of an Education Bank, where students will obtain a loan of N1 million each, every session to pay the tuition fee and sustain themselves.
“However, our union also rejected the idea of Education Bank, because for one, not all the students will have access to loan, and for those who will access the loan, it is the same parents who served as sureties, and subsequently pay back the loan, considering the very high rate of unemployment in the country.

“Supposing that the student is able to secure a job after graduation, he cannot start a life while paying back a loan of 4 to 6 million naira, as the case may be.

“In this kind of situation, the graduate would be subjected to, when will he finish paying the loan and establish himself? He asked.
“Frustration will gradually set in and make them live a life of misery”, he further lamented.

The Zonal Coordinator said Babalakin, who owns a private University, gave all the aforementioned proposals because they are aimed at guaranteeing funding for private Universities.

He also said that the federal government owed the Universities revitalization fund of N1.1 trillion.
According to him, the federal government had in 2013 agreed to disburse the sum of N1.3 trillion for the revitalization of Nigeria universities, between 2013 and 2018, but said out of that amount only N200 billion has been released.

“The Bauchi zone of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), hereby reiterates its unflinching support to the National Leadership of the Union towards its untiring efforts and commitment to the implementation of the 2017 Memorandum of Action (MoA), and by extension the 2013 Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the 2012 NEEDS Assessment Report, the 2012 Roadmap, the 2011 (MoU), indeed, the 2009 FGN/ASUU Agreement”.

On the financial situation bedeviling the university system in the country, the Zonal Coordinator lamented that it has continued to remain pathetic.

“The 7% of total budget allocated to the education sector in 2018 budget by the federal government of Nigeria is, to say the least, grossly below the UNESCO recommended minimum of 26%.

“As if this mirage is not bad enough, State Governments across the country are establishing State Universities and abandoning them to TEFUND, the brain child of ASUU as an intervention agency in the funding of education”, he decried.

He denied claims of a report credited to the Acting Minister of Finance, that N20 billion has been release to the Union.
“This is not true as common sense would not take this since ASUU is not an organ of government”, he stressed.

Femi Makinde, Osogbo

The streets of Osogbo and other major towns in Osun State have remained calm, devoid of jubilation by supporters of the All Progressives Congress despite the declaration of the candidate of the party, Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola, as the winner of the governorship election.

Our correspondent observed that the kind of wild jubilation that usually follows such electoral victory is lacking in the state.


As of 10:45 am, Olaiya Junction, which is usually the meeting point for protest and jubilation was clam but security men were stationed there to prevent the breakdown of the law and order especially from residents who believed that the election was openly rigged in favour of Oyetola.

Army patrol vans are stationed at Okefia Motor park and other volatile areas in a bid to prevent protest which some people believe may trail the announcement of the poll results.


The candidate of the Propels Democratic Party, Senator Ademola Adeleke, led in the first ballot by 353 votes but the APC candidate came from behind to win the poll amidst allegations of intimidation of voters and brazen rigging with the cooperation of security agents.

Local and foreign observers and many residents of the state have criticised the APC led Federal Government over the election.

I think this has gone beyond him ....not having the yam and knife at his disposal is really rendering him impotent .

The opposition has all the resources of the country at their disposal as they are in charge at the federal level giving him little or no chance at all..

I swear I don't envy his position at the moment .

God bless Nigeria


Do check my signature for your that exact product that you want ..

The issue I see here is that they have personal agenda, towards the Presidential election, Which by the way they're going they will fail, you can see all APC governor rally round their candidate, but in PDP the candidate is on his own, how do you expect them to win and wike is becoming so confident but if he is not careful he will loose his seat to APC in 2019

Impose presidential candidate on PDP at your own peril, Emeka Kalu warns Ihedioha, Wike

Chairman of Stercoll Group and Director General of Atikulated Agenda 2019, Chief Dr Emeka Kalu has warned a guber aspirant in Imo State, Chief Emeka Ihedioha to desist from imposition of candidate in the coming presidential primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Kalu who was reacting to the revelation that Ihedioha, along with Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike plans to impose someone of their choice, and not a unanimous candidate on the party, said it was appaling that a group of men would contemplate forcing Nigerians accept their choice.

He said that if the party ends up with an unpopular candidate and eventually loses the election to the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), no one should run away from the country. Kalu spoke from the United States.

Hear him: “It saddens me to learn that two noble gentlemen I respect so much in our great party are planing to influence the coming presidential primaries in favour of their own candidate. If it’s true, then not only is this sad but a dangerous trend that will demarket the PDP and cost us the coming presidential elections.

“Governor Nyesom Wike and Chief Emeka Ihedioha must rethink and do the needful now. They obviously are on a suicide mission and if they impose this calamity on our party, Buhari will chase them out of Nigeria. Posterity will judge anyone who puts Nigerians in harm’s way for his own selfish or ulterior gains.

“Ihedioha should not forget in a hurry too how he was made by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. They must allow the primaries to hold and whoever emerges should run as the party’s presidential candidate. Don’t forget that all Nigerians are looking up to PDP at this point and it will be suicidal if we fail them”, Kalu warned.

WHOEVER THAT IS CLOSE TO THEM SHOULD ADVICE THEM, BECAUSE IF PDP LOOSE THIS TIME THEN THAT WILL BE THE END, APC WILL HANG ON TO POWER FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, NOW IS THE TIME TO WORK TOGETHER, NO ONE SHOULD COME WITH A PERSONAL AGENDA, IF NOT THEY WILL NOT MAKE IT, WIKE ALONE CAN NOT WIN IT, ATIKU ALONE CAN NOT WIN, KWANKASO ALONE CANNOT WIN, SARAKI ALONE CANNOT WIN, THEY SHOULD ALL WORK TOGETHER TO WIN THE ELECTION

Goderlist:
TO OSUN PEOPLE: SHALL WE RIDE A PIG TO THE MARKET SQUARE BECAUSE OUR HORSE MISBEHAVED

Aregbesola misbehaved. Yes he really fumbled. His attitude to the salary issue was nothing to write home about.
However, will that be a good reason to vote a senator who never contributed on the floor of the senate. A person who registered for 9 subjects in 1981 weac but only showed up for only one subject ( that only one subject he also failed woefully)
If Osun is rejecting APC/Aregbesola's candidate in Oyetola, why Adeleke?
Why not Omisore, Adeoti and other erudite and intellectually sound candidates on display?
Osun people voted Adeleke as a senator and benefited nothing. Now they are about to vote him in as a governor for 4 years. Hmmmm. Hmmmm. Hmmmm
Ademola Adeleke father was a senator. His late elder brother was a governor and later a senator. Now Ademola is a senator and a leading contender to become a governor. Only one family in Osun state of all places. I thought this (mu won l'eru) stuff can only happen in Kwara but Osun is playing it out.
Political ridicule is going out of Ekiti, Osun wants to inherit it. This is serious.
If it were to be Omisore or Adeoti or any other candidate, I would be clapping for Osun people by now. But on this... Hmmmmm. Hmmmmm. Hmmmmm.
I hope they could mend their ways before its too late but its seems very difficult judging from the number of votes at stake.
I see Osun going into 4 years of political darkness and its very worrisome.
I ask again: shall we ride pig to the market square because our horse misbehaved Hmmm

THE TIME YOU ARE USING TO WRITE THIS AND RUN DOWN SOMEONE IS ENOUGH TIME FOR YOU TO BUY A FORM A CONTEST, WE HAVE THE KENNEDY AND THE BUSH FAMILY IN THE USA RUNNING ELECTIONS TILL TOMORROW, NOBODY IS COMPLAINING, YOU ARE ONLY ENTITLED TO ONE VOTE SO STOP THIS NONSENSE AND ALLOW PEOPLE VOTE WITH THEIR CONSCIENCE

yns4real:
The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has declared that there will be consequences if the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) succumbs to pressures from planted PDP presidential aspirants to move the party’s National Convention away from Port Harcourt.

He further declared that the state will not support any desperate PDP presidential aspirant who is sabotaging the economy of the state by fighting the hosting of the party’s presidential primary in Port Harcourt.

Mr Wike warned that Rivers People will teach the party a bitter lesson if it allows planted desperate presidential aspirants to scuttle the hosting of the presidential primary in Port Harcourt as agreed by all leaders of the party.

Speaking during a consultative visit by the Gombe State Governor and PDP presidential aspirant, Ibrahim Dankwambo, at the Government House Port Harcourt on Wednesday, Mr Wike said at the PDP’s national meeting, no presidential aspirant opposed Port Harcourt as a venue.
He said any presidential aspirant fighting Rivers State should forget about the support of the state, during and after the National Convention.

He said: “Let me warn the party, if you dare, Rivers State will teach the party a lesson. Those days have passed when they took Rivers State for granted. Nobody can use and dump Rivers State.

“No presidential aspirant can use and dump Rivers State. We never lobbied for it, we never asked for it, but it will boost the economy of the state. People will make money.

“Those who are against Rivers people from making money to improve their businesses, will not get our support.”
The governor said that whether the National Convention holds in Jigawa or Adamawa, the winner preferred by the delegates will emerge.

“I don’t know why anyone who wants to be president, will be afraid of a venue. Then you are not prepared for the election.

“Nobody should dare Rivers State any longer. Enough is enough. PDP should know that we are not a punching bag. We are not a people you can use and push. We are not harlots. Whenever you want, you come. When you finish, you push us aside.

“We will retaliate at the appropriate time. When you go, tell your colleagues, the presidential aspirants. We were not interested, but having given it to us, you cannot insult us,” Governor Wike said.

The governor pointed out that there are persons who are not presidential materials, but have bought forms simply because the presidency is zoned to the North.

He wondered why a presidential aspirant would declare that he is uncomfortable with Port Harcourt as a venue, but would love Rivers oil.

He said: “You come here to deceive us about restructuring. Just that Rivers State is a venue, you fight it. Then, when you are there, what will happen? You think we are fools where you preach restructuring, then when you get the position, you abandon restructuring.”

Governor Wike said that at the appropriate time, he will reveal the names of presidential aspirants working with the APC-led federal government to scuttle the presidential primary.

He added that no presidential aspirant will use a few members of the Board of Trustees of PDP to scuttle the decision of the party to host the presidential primary in Port Harcourt.

The governor described Governor Dankwambo as eminently qualified to contest the position of President. He said Mr Dankwambo will be considered when Rivers delegates meet to decide on who to support.

Earlier, Mr Dankwambo called on Rivers PDP delegates to support his aspiration as he has the capacity to set the country on the path of growth.

He said that the crisis of development being suffered by the country is a result of the leadership vacuum at the Federal Level .

While saying that he has the training, exposure and experience to lead the country in the right direction, Mr Dankwambo urged Nigerians not to make the error of 2015 when they chose promises ahead of performance.

The presidential aspirant said that he will support whoever emerges as presidential candidate, should it turn out that party delegates vote in a different direction.

If they don't work together PDP can't defeat APC, Woke alone and his candidate can't win, they all have to come together in other for them to win.

We all know he has been here trying to hold the party together, but the party need to grow from one strong man to a group of strong men if not if PDP looses this time around Nigeria is head for a one party system, with a very weak opposition, I bet even Woke himself will decamp to APC.

CilicMarin:
Wike is the Political Leader Of The PDP.

He practically fought for the near restoration of PDP, when Atiku, Saraki, Kwankwaso were busy frolicking with the APC.

So any attempt to deny Wike the chance of hosting the National convention, should be taken as an insult to not only Wike but true Democrats who desire a vibrant opposition.

It is more than hosting, it's not all about hosting, if they don't work together PDP can't defeat APC, Woke alone and his candidate can't win, they all have to come together in other for them to win.

BREAKING: Omisore Tells Supporters Whom To Vote For At Osun Governorship Rerun
“I am telling my people that they should go with any political party that believes in what we in the SDP stand for: good governance, social justice and accountability. I have already detailed how we planned to restore Osun to the path of good governance through the five thematic pillars in the manifesto I shared during the electioneering. I will not negotiate for personal gains and abandon my people," Omisore said.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKSEP 26, 2018


Iyiola Omisore, candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in the Osun State governorship election, has told his supporters to “go with any political party that believes in what we in the SDP stand for”.

Since effectively dropping out of the race for the rerun election, following the very high but close votes of Ademola Candidate, candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Isiaka Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Omisore has been courted by both camps in an attempt to swing the votes to a side.

SaharaReporters had exclusively reported that APC was planning to offer him a ministerial slot. However, according to a statement by Jide Fakorede, his media aide, Omisore had decided he would “not negotiate for personal gains and abandon my people”.

“After over 72 hours of pressure on him by both the leadership of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC), the Social Democratic Party (SDP) governorship candidate in Osun State, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has said that what is paramount to him is the practice of true democracy in Osun State,” read the statement.

“Omisore firmly states that he will never renege on his promise of good governance, accountability and human dignity in Osun state.”

Fakorede quoted Omisore as saying: "Osun state has always been a stellar example of democracy where the people have consistently and freely expressed their franchise to determine who governs them.

“This should remain so. Osun people have shown that it is not business as usual. It is a positive deviation from what was hitherto the norm.

“I am telling my people that they should go with any political party that believes in what we in the SDP stand for: good governance, social justice and accountability. I have already detailed how we planned to restore Osun to the path of good governance through the five thematic pillars in the manifesto I shared during the electioneering. I will not negotiate for personal gains and abandon my people.

"My alliance is with the people of Osun state irrespective of the political party they belong. I want my people to be treated with the dignity they deserve. I desire that they have a government that will be accountable to them. I want them to experience the good governance the founding fathers of this state envisaged. I have told the parties that have solicited for my support to approach the electorates and ask for their mandate as I have assured them that I will not coerce them for political or social power. It is because I have kept my promise that has made me enjoyed their unalloyed support all these years.

“As highlighted in SDP manifestos, the five thematic pillars the SDP had hoped to implement to improve governance, eliminate financial reckless and reposition the economy of Osun state include: economic management and accountability; professionalism and performance; equity in access to service; local content and innovation and security.”

Omisore said these were the centre point of his campaign and “the democracy we both fought for and believe in”.

“It is the right and democratic freedom of people to choose of their own free will. Their votes should not be coerced by money, vote buying, intimidation in form of militarisation, and political and social power,” he added.

"Their voices of demand for good governance, accountability and human dignity should continue to be heard as well as salaries paid. All these are what I stand for and which the SDP had promised the people all through our electioneering campaigns. They are still paramount to me as we collectively chart the way forward for the governorship elections rerun in Osun state."

Omisore assured his followers and admirers that he would not abandon his campaign promises even as he engaged all stakeholders on the way forward to ensure the progress of Osun State is achieved.
