The rivers tribunal removed wike,while the supreme court overuled it making the earlier ruling useless.The same thing will happen in this case

so election tribunal cases and cct cases are now same, why do guuys reason so low like this. Anyway you are so used to cash n carry judgement.

Why don't you just wait and see

cktheluckyman:
Irrespective of what the CCT rules Saraki will remain SP and appeal the judgement.This CCT stand would even help in galvanising more senators to support the amendment of the CCB act

Please be informed, Saraki can never be a beneficiary of cct amendment as his case has began before now, even if new cases in cct come up now the new cct amendment can never come into play until it has been passed.

Pls stop misinforming folks here. Saraki and his goons are playing to the gallery.

ayodotcom:
This is getting interesting ....oga saraki nowhere to hide again ..... I hope baba saraki would not vandalise d court transformers again

OLADD:
Nobody ever said Dasukigate is mere propaganda. Nobody does but we have consistently said the money was spent on 2015 elections in the same way Ameachi, Fashola, Okorocha and other APC governors allegedly spent their security votes and other funds in bringing Buhari to power. Let Buhari and APC leadership raise their hands to heavens and swear by their lives that state funds were not used in the 2015 presidential and other elections. Hypocrisy and satanism is when you prosecute only PDP offenders but leaves the rogues in your party who committed same offences to go scot free.

Meanwhile, why is Jafaru Isa (Buhari's ally who allegedly refunded part of Dasukigate) not prosecuted? Hmmmm, APC and Buhari, make we just dey look.

Tales by moonlight!

Another PDP rhymes that is not making sense as usual, don't know why this china deal is giving them sleepless nights!

could it be related to their chances in 2019?

chukwudi44:
Have you ever heard about plan B?

oh so you agree that saraki can go down after all. And as for your plan B, the anti saraki forces too don't have a plan B abi?

chukwudi44:
Has Saraki been removed as SP?

then why are some fellows so eager to replace him, the same fellows who escort him to court all the time. yeye de smell

Gext22:
You are sillier than I thought.
How is a state with barely enough to pay salaries competent enough to pay seaports ?

bitterness is the just the lot of you guys and there is no remedy

Gext22:
of course, my meaning of incompetence would fly over a political jobber like you.
How is a state with barely enough to pay salaries competent enough to build a seaport?
Political jobber.

you resort to casting aspersions just because I exposed your hypocrisy, Sir you are not as smart as I thought

khSteel:
Lagos - Calabar railway is good and needs to be done; but you must understand & address the peoples' concerns appropriately.

You can't sit in your house and determine whats' best for you and do the same for the others. If the people from the other side wants a seaport first, lets understand it and work towards making it available instead of all these noise from your quarter in telling people what's good for them or not. You/your people knows absolutely nothing about what the others feel or the challenges they face; so, you/your people should stop all these I-Know-It-All mentality and face issues challenging your communities.

Thank you.

Can we stop this dumb politics of seaport, how is a seaport an excuse for not having railway. Someone should please stop making the SE a laughing stock.

Gext22:
A seaport is not a job for the state government alone. The FG either deliberately or otherwise is taking up irrelevant projects and leaving vital ones to the largely incompetent States. Smh
The enugu airport deal had been in progress long before buhari got In.
In fact, it had to take a daughter of the soil to make that airport international after years of deliberate neglect.

oh so the states are now incompetent, thought you guys said the PMB's FG is incompetent, the way you guys speak from both ends of the mouth is so amazing. Yes the enugu project deal has been on the cards yet your beloved hero did not approve it ba? Even if PMB build a seaport for you guys now, you will credit to the previous govt. You guys are playing politics without common sense all because of a failed party called the Peoples destruction party otherwise known as pdp.

PMB is even too nice for my liking, he would have left it to your daughter of the soil to come and approve it for you. smh

chukwudi44:
Then stop whining over the letter

whining? you are the whining bro cos the letter is so irrelevant and Fayose just disgraced himself. Its all part of the pdp game and yet they are loosing.

chukwudi44:
bros you have nothing on Ekweremadu!! If the APC had anything o him,he would have been long gone even before Saraki's trial started

shooting over the bar again, same thing you said about saraki

all these pdp goons with their rhymes, sorry the china deal has been signed. Fayose's letter came too late. He should try and be smarter next time.

Gext22:
The FG should take the project as a priority and bring it to fruition.
Railway would not have as much impact on the eastern economy like a seaport would.
The FG should build a seaport first, and build a railway after.
You accuse and taunt them of flooding Lagos for economic opportunity. Give them the wherewithal to build their own Lagos.

Cross river is already planning one which has the blessings of FG, there is nothing wrong in railway dear, stop the politics. FG has just approved more international flight destinations for the SE from Enugu and an indigenous airline for that. This will reduce the heavy traffic in Lagos airports and create more economic activities in the SE.

KBrown:
For those who still don't understand what is going on. let me try to make it simpler.
As regards budgeting, based on the principle of separation of power, the executive is expected to propose the projects for which funds are required while the NASS scrutinise and approve or disapprove (not slash). The executive will then sign and implement while the NASS monitor in their oversight function. The executive is free to re-present the disapproved funds with better explanations and other urgent need in supplementary budget.
However, by proposing new constituency projects and approving for themselves, the NASS has thrown out the doctrine of separation of powers. This has been the past practice during the Jonathan era without challenge . This is the reason why budget implementation has always been low because most of the time, the projects introduced by the NASS are either not yet designed or the contractors, usually nominated by them cannot access the funds.
The present administration wants CHANGE and that means that we cannot continue to do things the wrong and expect a good result. If the NASS want their constituency projects, the proper way is to route it through the executive to propose so that they (NASS) approve.
I am of the firm believe that if the lessons of this year is imbibed by both parties, next year's budget, God willing, will pass smoothly.

well said, thanks a lot. we's ve got lots of misguided and ignorant folks on nairaland these days

hush15:
If this you think this is how to teach one on how to be firm, then it's quite unfortunate that you just deceiving yourself.

That the NASS prudently pruned the budget which they felt was exhorbitant on certain projects and rather than the president to proceed atleast with what he has, when he needs more, he states the progress and why he needs more. It is not that the bridge will be finished this year neway. Nobody is saying the projects are not laudable however, it's not an excuse to bill exhorbitantly for it since we trying to be more prudent in these tough times as a country and we seem to have forgotten that this government promise to be more cost effective.

As for the Lagos-calabar rail project, it's been proven that it was not covered in the initial budget and since the presidency wants it in, there are other means of presenting it through either budget amendment or supplementary than going through the back door.

But because some are too sentimental in the heads, Buhari must always have his way. Even when his approach is wrong. When errors exist in the budget from the executive. Why won't the NASS have issues and rather than tackle the problem for the source which is the executive, you here play political sentiments. It's really sad with sentiments like yours drawing Nigeria backwards.

budget is not a sacred document, it is all about planning and before it is approved, it can be adjusted over 100 times, we all do budgets is our offices, let's stop misinforming people please, there is no back door thing, its all part of the budget process. Amaechi does not need to go and prostrate before all the senators to get anything adjusted, that is why there is budget defence and a committee to look at things and make corrections where necessary.

Did the lawmakers have to prostrate before PMB to insert their own projects, was it in the original document? Please let's stop the misinformation, budget can be readjusted 100 times before approval, its all about planning, nothing sacred please

Gext22:
abia has a decent potential for seaport.
If that is too far-fetched, ibaka in the SS is also a perfect option.
I wonder why all those people that want igbos to leave Lagos are fighting for a rail that Connects both regions.
It is time to put their money where their mouths are.
Build a seaport and scrap any useless railway that would not help the eastern economy In the long run.

are there not plans already? we've been hearing these plan for years now, railway contributes positively all over the world. Please stop brainwashing people

Wallade:
Where in South-East do you want government to build a sea port? Please answer the question.

me sef de wait the answer, these guys are shameless, using seaport just to condemn a rail project. Their brainwashing no get part 2

AntiWailer:
waooo. .

He is a potential President.

of all the Governors only El Rufai took practical steps to cut wastes.


forget the religious sentiment being fanned around.

He is the best Governor so far

I agree though I have reservations about his character but I love his guts.

Why is this china deal giving folks sleepless night. If PMB had done nothing, they will say he has no direction, now there is a direction, still they no wan gree.

Na wa o.

PDP leave us alone o

ideylaff:
What balls . Talk is cheap if we don't act it.

You want to encourage exports and local manufacturers to boost productivity and you on the other hand open yourself up to the Chinesse

Lol


I remember years ago the Chinese closing up their borders to fix themselves

You guys should go and sit down, never will your slave masters PDP rule us again cos we know they are the ones with the propaganda against the China deal. You guys are yet come with a better alternative, its all complaints and wailings. We are fed up of you guys, you can relocate to Togo if you please

Jorussia:
This is very childish from Rivers pdp

Very very childish indeed, they just have to be tolerated sha

orisa37:
Jonathan is a caring man and was schemed out of office by some satanic characters, the grand children of those who nailed Jesus to the cross.

Una never tire with this stale news

orunto27:
With, the current structure of APC, how I wish that PDP would approach IBB to be their current Chairman and life Patron. I know that the man is old, but he has auto-aura, recognition and experience to get PDP out of its present quagmire. This Sherif is an unstable tolerance and a hustler. He is no longer attractive in the North..

Na today? Una never chim chum chin

Sheriff for life

PMB had influenced this woman with balls, even fayose and his ponmo followers will run mad hearing this.

Wailers come out and wail o, food don done

The damn market will be relocated and heaven will not fall. Anybody in disagreement can relocate to Niger or Togo

Na by force to stay for Lagos. Abegi

enlightenedmind:
If IPOB threatens the life of any Nigerian, they will be shot down. If they agitate hate of any kind they will be shot down. Nigeria is a sovereign state. We are not answerable to ICC, Amnesty, UN. The UN can sanction all it likes that is why we have lawyers. If IPOB have decided to behave like terrorists they will be treated like terrorists and nothing else. And all these international backup u think u have. Do u believe Nigeria is Mali, Cameroon or Niger. I means UN and whatever can only Suggest, to say they want to come into Nigeria is a declaration of war invoking China and Russia. They will never pick IPOB over the wrath of China and Russia.

SMH. You people do not get politics. You think it is gra gra. At the end of the day, what U.S.A really wants, Nigeria has it. Nigeria's China romance is not only about money but about security. If anything happens China must protect its interest. Buhari knows this things. U think his China trip was for money. Mstweee. U guys know nothing.

Absolutey nothing

Don't waste your intellectual prowess on these rebels who want to eat from all sides. They abuse buhari for going to China but turn around to complain that no china project is coming to the se.

They are gradually making themselves a national nuisance, we just have to tolerate their childish acts for now

Samunique:
May the Lord deliver you from the spirit of lies.

Of course you will call it lies cos only fayose speaks the truth in Nigeria as far as you are concerned

Stalwert:
Now I see why someone sang dele is my boy. He is not guilty because you are sympathetic to rich and corruptful. When last did you write a letter defending the poor from impunity? Nigeria is doomed with this elitist sickness. Your letter wreaks of immorality.

That elitist sickness is our number one problem right now. The elites only speak out when it hurts them.
