[size=15pt] In case Ben Akabueze pretends not to get Obanikoro's observations : 1) He raised issues about Fashola's two bullet proof cars categorically stating that those cars cost far more than Oduah's 2) The PDP also raised the issue of the Sunborn Yacht scandal Akabueze should go direct into clearing the air and stop beating about the bush. Alausa theives! They keep exposing themselves [/size] |
Omo_Tier1: FYI, the LOOTOCRAT GEJ did not get us into MINT, Nigeria economy is only surviving because of the reforms put in place at the early part of Obasanjo's second term.See how frustration is turning some of you mad? So you now admit a PDP govt is performing - all because you don't want GEJ to take the credit for an obvious economic growth his administration is engineering. |

dinachi: Punch now writes lies because it faithfully reported the collapse of PDP even in Bayelsa State? This is the beginning. Before June PDP will have only about four states nationally!Dream on. . . |
lastpage: I can understand Propaganda but this type of "cheapay" PROPAGANDA is really nauseating![size=16pt] My friend, this is the best time to get feedback from road users nationwide because this is the season people travel most. Mention which federal roads are bad or just shut up that stinking mouth.[/size] |
Madam, you are the best thing to happen to aviation sector in the last 25yrs. Your detractors - House of Rep's, Aviation Union, APC, fraudulent aviation contractors etc will fall by your side, Amen. |
APC propagandist will be looking for a way to pull this man down in thier desperate attempt to pull down all hard working ministers in GEJ's cabinet. First, it was Alison Madueke, then Arumah Oteh, later Okonjo-Iweala, and again Stella Oduah. But God will see all of them through, Amen. |
Front page pls moderators. Let Nigerians give feedback to minister of works. I travel a lot by road because of the nature of my work. The truth is, the entire country is a huge construction site when it comes to Federal Highways reconstruction. I am currently in North Central Nigeria for the Xmas having visited parts of South East and South South. The Calabar - Itu - Ikot Ekpene - Aba road as well as the Onitsha - Enugu highways need very urgent attention. I commend the Jonathan led govt on the quality of work done on the Ezamgbo - Abakaliki - Ikom - Cameroon international route. That is how Nigerian roads should look like. We are making progress. God bless GEJ. God bless Nigeria |
Those 37 Rep's members are plain foolish. Meanwhile, the wise onse - Tambuwal and the Senators stayed behind and are using them to test the waters. |
Defection: Misadventure of 37 Federal legislators By JOHN AINOFENOKHAI PERMIT me to go straight to the point by calling on Nigerians, in the light of the recent defection of 37 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the House of Representatives to the All Progressive Congress (APC), to draw attention to Section 68 (1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution as amended which states: [b]“A member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in the House of which he is a member if – being a person whose election to the House was sponsored by a political party, he becomes a member of another political party before the expiration of the period for which that House was elected; Provided that his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored.” Nigerians should also note that on Friday, October 18, 2013, a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja and presided over by His Lordship, Justice Elvis Chukwu, had ruled that there was no division in PDP and thus restrained the self-styled new PDP from using the colour and logo of the PDP under the chair of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur. Recall that the Court had also ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to refrain from recognising, dealing and relating with the new PDP. [/b] It should be further noted that prior to the ruling, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on Friday, October 10, 2013, expressly declared that it did not recognize the now defunct new PDP, thus putting paid to the factionalisation plot being orchestrated by members of the group. The Commission, in a letter with reference number INEC/LEG/PDP/19/111/245 signed by the Acting Secretary, Mr. U.F. Usman, addressed to the National Secretary to the now defunct new PDP, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, had acknowledged receipt of his letters dated 1st and 23rd September wherein he had requested for the Commission’s recognition of the Alhaji Kawu Baraje-led NWC. The Commission had noted in the letter: “You will recall that the Commission monitored the National Convention and Special National Convention of the PDP held on the 24th of March 2012 and 31st of August 2013 at the Eagle Square, Abuja, after notices to the Commission. “A National Working Committee (NWC) was elected at the two conventions with Alhaji Bamanga Tukur as the National Chairman. The Commission will not withdraw recognition from the leadership of the PDP elected at the conventions duly monitored by the Commission. Be guided accordingly.” Now that these 37 members of the House of Representatives, in defiance of the provisions of the Constitution and pronouncements by relevant bodies- the Court and INEC- that there is no division in the PDP leadership, have left the party for the APC, I ask: where is the division in the PDP or in its leadership? Are they saying that the Court and INEC were incapable of determining the presence of a division in the party? I concur with the court and INEC that there is no division in the party leadership. So, on what basis have they left the PDP and now keeping their seats in the House? To answer the question, it was on the basis of an interlocutory injunction purportedly granted them by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Wednesday, December 18, 2013 that they hurriedly effected their defection plan. The injunction had purportedly restrained the PDP, its chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, the INEC, Senate President and Speaker of House of Representatives from declaring vacant the seats of the defecting federal lawmakers to the APC. The leadership of the PDP had gone to court praying that the seats of its members who defected to the APC be declared vacant, which was the right to do in line with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.Now, which ground is provided in the law: is it not the condition for defection, to wit: division, which is absent, in the PDP leadership? Or, is it the restraining injunction granted by the court, which can be vacated? What will happen tomorrow if the injunction is vacated? Without a division in the PDP, their defection will be legally flawed, standing on nothing. In that circumstance, they would be expected to do the needful: leave the House so that INEC can also do the needful: organise new elections to fill their seats. They can then decide to re-contest the seats on the platform of their new found APC. Flowing from the above, I expect that men of integrity and honour within the APC, if any, that they should not be involved in political fraud by appropriating what is not rightfully theirs. What these legislators have done is immoral: taking the mandates given to them on the PDP platform to the APC. Understandably, the APC is happy to harness the fraudulently acquired mandates which it knows it did not get, directly, from the people. It is, indeed, in the light of the above that I call on well-meaning Nigerians to urge the INEC to do the needful within the ambits of the law and call for elections where necessary. If the electoral body needs the pronouncement of the court on the issue to enable it act accordingly, the court should discountenance technicalities and other political shenanigans to rein in and sanitise the political process and system by acting strictu sensus with the provisions of the extant laws. www.vanguardngr.com/2013/12/defection-misadventure-37-federal-legislators/ |

Those APC e - goats have deserted this thread |

Vessi: you are really brilliant and refined.Multiple monikers is a crime on nairaland. You are warned |
Okorocha's name was never on the ballot. It was APGA. People thumbprinted APGA. |

Ameachi keeps making mockery of himself. So, if not for loan Rivers people will not have water? Meanwhile, he bought his 10 billion naira private jet and paid cash but now waits for a loan to execute water project. |
Goddex: [size=16pt]Madam, shut up and go enjoy Osun state treasury with your husband. Aregberascal is an Islamic bigot and we all know it. By the way, does he really have mental problems as widely speculated?[/size]The woman fine small sha. But the husband looks like an HIV/AIDs patient. |
95%. The reply was superb. |
Cuche: Goddex! me miserable upbringing LolBut answer Goddex's question first. Why is it that all the 6 threads you have created on nairaland are about Peter Obi? |
[size=16pt]Hahahahaha. . . foolish Rep's. Where is Facrook Lawan sef and Ali Ndume (the Boko Haram sponsor)? Hope they have also defected to the APC because that is where they belong [/size] |
c0llynz02: So daily trust doesn't know that there is a HUGE difference between $255M and N255M?It's deliberate, the opposition media (PUNCH, The Nation, Daily Trust etc) thrive on misinformation. |
Goddex: [size=16pt]OBJ is jealous that GEJ will eventually outshine him. Has any Nigerian President been able to beat these?Bros, opposition are feeding the uninformed and gullible with lies, lies Lies and plenty of lies. On the contrary, the country is moving forward. God bless Nigeria |
Let's be honest, OBJ does not have anything more to say else he exposes himself the more. The best thing is to remain silent. Baba but try reply your daughter sha |
I laughed at the APC e-goats who ignorantly joined their Liar Muhammed in singing a chorus that they even do not know the wordings. |
[size=14pt]Their lies will always be returned back to them . . . First, they threw up allegations of a certain 500 billion SURE-P funds missing. Second, they came up with a certain $4.5 billion ECA fund also missing Now, they came again talking about $48 billion missing APC can 'go and die.' Their lies will continue to be exposed. Shameless things [/size] |
payless: You're a depressed man. How depressed are you?Why not simply answer his question. Forget propaganda. Which 23 LGA chairmen are we saying defected to APC? |
Goddex: The FG is constructing many more roads in Abuja than what Lagos state is doing but we don't get to hear this much propaganda. Lagos need pipeborne water like most other cities and not these noisemaking when a 2KM road is asphalted.Watch how this thread flies to the homepage immediately Mukina sets eyes on it. |
We didn’t give ASUU ultimatum – Jonathan By Samuel Oyadongha, Yenagoa President Jonathan has weekend, said his government did not give the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, an ultimatum to resume work or be sacked. Fielding questions from newsmen, at the expanded caucus meeting of the Bayelsa State Peoples Democratic Party held at Government House, Yenagoa, the President said, the Supervising Minister of Education only passed on the decision of Committee of Vice Chancellors. [b]“We didn’t give them ultimatum; it was the Committee of Vice Chancellors that took that decision. The Supervising Minister of Education only passed on the decision.” Jonathan also said the strike embarked upon by the ASUU was no longer a trade dispute , but a subversive action. He said, “What ASUU is doing is no longer trade union. I have intervened in other labour issues before now, once I invite them they respond and after the meeting they take decision and call off the strike. “At times we don’t even give them a long notice unlike, in the case of ASUU that was given four days notice before the meeting. As you are meeting to resolve trade disputes, you expect the trade unions to get their officials ready. “What was expected having met with the highest authorities in the land for long hours, was for ASUU to immediately issue statement within 12 or latest 24 hours to state their position whether they were accepting government’s offer or not. And if they are not accepting they state the reason for that. “But despite the fact that I had the longest meeting with ASUU in my political history, we did not start that meeting until around 2:00 pm and the meeting ended the next day in the early hours. As far as the government of Nigeria was concerned, all the critical people that should be in a meeting were there, so what else do they want? “After that they didn’t meet until one week, despite the fact that you met with the highest authority. It was unfortunate one of them, Prof. Iyayi died. “The way ASUU has conducted the matter shows they are extreme and when Iyayi died, they now said the strike was now indefinite, our children have been at home for over five months.p[/b] |
