The man with the people at the back of his heart. Kogite, please dont miss the opportunity of having the best man as your governor. Akpabana is a man with action. He has a good heart and he will listen to his people.

Oga, this is FALSE.

People who live in Abuja are enlightened. It's not like Ogun where Tinubu will come and scream Yoruba Lokan.

Also, FCT has more security than anywhere in Nigeria, meaning that thugs won't be allowed to run away with ballot boxes like it played out in many places around Lagos. In fact, in my polling unit, the bale asked people to stop voting and fight broke out. That was how guber election ended - fight, disarray, violence and bloodshed.

Besides, foreign election observers always throng Abuja, meaning that elections in Abuja will always remain peaceful, fair and credible because for obvious reasons, the Nigerian government will do anything to look good in the eyes of foreigners.

So, you are totally wrong. What can only work in Abuja is engaging enlightened minds and getting them to vote for your party, not violence.

in that case the election should be restricted to Abuja. No need wasting money conducting election in states

Dangote refinery was celebrated like it was next big thing after garri. Dignitaries graced the occasion. Buhari removed subsidy to make sure his refinery thrive.

Innoson has been producing cars. Call it assembled cars but it was done in Nigeria. FG that championed made in Nigeria has never patronised Innoson because he is from a particular tribe they don't wish to grow.

Who bought the ones the military guys are using, did your compound people contribute to buy them? Look at how you exposed yourself trying to act a victimized.

Please where you guys (saraki and Dogara) when some members of the Benue State house of Assembly impeached the speaker when the house was on recess. If that act was OK to you Saraki, Dogara and all you hypocrites then the act by the speaker and his 7 members should be OK too. If the National Assembly members decide to remove Saraki and Dogara now that they are on recess, hope nobody will shout Buhari

[quote author=8Ebisco post=67094771]Some prominent leaders from the North have assembled to kick President Muhammad Buhari out of office come 2019.

The plan, according to elder statesman, Tanka Yakassai, is to produce a more credible and acceptable presidential candidate from the region.

Some members of the movement are mainly retired military chiefs, former governors, ex-ministers, senators and other top public office holders.

Speaking with the Sun about the movement and the plan to sack the current administration, Yakasai dismissed the claim that the entire North are for Buhari, saying, “I don’t know how you came to that conclusion, because other aspirants are expressing their wish to contest, people are still aspiring.

“The question of someone becoming a consensus candidate for a whole area of the north does not make sense.

“In addition, the rule of multi party democracy, there will never be a consensus candidate anywhere in Nigeria or anywhere multi party is practiced. Otherwise the merit of multi party democracy is defeated.

“And that does not go with democracy if you come up with a consensus candidate. Consensus candidate means killing competition. Competition is the livewire of democracy.

“Those who are elected particularly at the presidential level owe their allegiance to the people who got them into office and not the voters. We want to change that narrative.

“We want the election in the future to be based on programme and manifesto, we want the election to be credible and through a verifiable process that would change the life of the people for the better.

“To do that, you have to come with your own programme and your own manifesto, not a manifesto written by hired Professors or Doctors because of their command of English that can impress people.

“Our focus is election related matters. We want our votes to have values. After an aspirant is selected, the person can now face us.

“We decided to visit all our former Heads of state who are of northern extraction. We wanted to visit first, former Head of state, General Gowon, unfortunately he was not in the country and we wrote a letter to his office to tell him about the emergence of the organization and he has not been back yet.

“As we were waiting for him, we had to go to Minna to see former Heads of state, Babangida and Abdulsalami. We found out that Abdulsalami traveled since January and would not come back soon but Babangida said he was around, we decided not to kill time but to go and speak to him.”

He assured that the group will also be meeting Obasanjo soon.

“We will do it. The programme is still on and you will hear from us. We decided to go to whoever is available. It was by sheer interest that we found Babangida available.

“Our plan was to start with General Gowon but he was not available, even Abdulsalami that we wanted to do with Babangida was not around,” he said.

According to the Sun, some of the prominent retired Generals on this mission include Gen. J.T Useni, Gen. John Temlong, Gen. India Garba, Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi, Gen. E.T Nienge, Gen. Laurence Onoja, Gen. M.D Chong, Col. Habibu Shuaibu, Navy Commodore Isaac M. Mankilik, Commodore D.T Hinga, Commodore Mainasara B. Kaoje and Maj. Hassan Zara.

Former governors also drafted for the assignment include Alhaji Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa, Dr. Babangida Aliyu, Ibrahim Idris Wada, Barr. Ibrahim Shema, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, and Mr Boni Haruna. Ex-Ministers also involved include Dr. Bello Mohammed Haliru, Amb. Bagudu Hirse, Alhaji Muktari Shagari, Dr. Mohammed Shata, Sen. Bala Mohammed, Dr. Ibrahim Lame, and Engr. Mohammed Abba Gana.

But all these people I see here are all PDP members. So what is new here. Not even one youth on the list. People of common interest which is to collect power from the people. No hope for Nigeria if we allow this old people to deceive us again. Nigerians pls be wise

Turaki or whatever you call yourself you better shut up there before thunder will seal your mouth. For sixteen years PDP were in govt and we had no light, no roads, no water, no hospitals, no quality schools and no jobs, no savings despite huge income from oil, no diversification of the economy. All you guys gave us was corruption and stealing of the nation's wealth, militancy and terrorism, pipeline vandalism and proliferation of arms. What were you people expecting as an end result if not recession. Today you think you can deceive us. Every member of PDP should go and hide in shame. This govt is on course and the govt must succeed, two years is not enough to undo the mess caused by your Party the PDP.

Una dey hail d guy now, if d policeman use his weapon on d guy same Una go begin condemn police action. Police say no road here and u insist to pass then make u know say u b lawbreaker

But Radio Biafra pays tax to 10 Downing street. So how do you call it illegal. BBC hausa does not pay tax to Abuja, It pays to Downing street. Same purse Radio Biafra pays to. Use ya brain na.

. Who licensed Radio biafra, who gave them the authority to operate within the Nigeria air waves. Ya brain should have told you that there are rules and laws governing everything. Since radio Biafra pay tax to Downing street Ya little brain should have told you that they should limit their broadcast to London. Mumu

First of all BBC hausa is not a radio station, they don't broadcast from an unknown location illegally but under the BBC family. BBC hausa don't preach hate against the Nigerian state but promote information propagation among the hausa speaking tribe of Nigeria. Radio Biafra is an illegal setup that broadcast from an unknown location illegally without any broadcast license. They preach hate against the Nigerian state. They are advocating for secession instead of going through the National Assembly thereby committing treasonable offence. It is not set up by any recognized Ibo group so it can not be said to be representing the interest of the ndi-gbos. For radio Oduduwa I don't know nothing about them

This man should shut up for once. Mr. Senator, have you heard Sen. Ashafa's comment at all abi him no be senator?
