muyico:
OBJ no be Yoruba by tribe! his forefathers come from Enugu and settled at Abeokuta! he Always support Igbo's in everything he does! during his presidential tenure Igbo's enjoyed him more Dan enough!
Obasanjo isn't an ethnic Bigot like Ronu's. He is a total and detrabalised Nigerian. His administration which till date in 1999 is the best had smart people all over Nigeria.

He didn't put only Yoruba's in government like the current chief Bigot Bulabalu did. You see why the SE voted for him twice against their own Ojukwu.

It is only Ronu's that hate Obasanjo because he isn't an ethnic Bigot

The average Yoruba Man and Igbo do not hate themselves. It is you Ronu people that hate Igbo's because you don see it as a way of winning elections.

Anyways,I hear the North is currently cooking you people on Twitter. Maybe you should for once go and face them

PoliticsRe: Dapo Abiodun And Burden Of Inherited Infrastructural Deficit In Ogun by happney65:
All these are just excuses from paid agents of the government.

Oyo state that is bigger than Ogun. Bigger than all the 5 states in the SE. Oyo has 5 Zones or regions.
Ibadan
Oke Ogun
Oyo
Ogbomosho
Ibarapba

Makes lesser IGR than Ogun had a huge infrastructural deficit than Ogun when the present government came in but we are in a better place than we were 5years ago. There is no local government that doesn't have infrastructure project ongoing. No local government. Together with human capital development.

Currently an on going employment recruitment is on going.

10,000 teachers for secondary school and another 7000 for primary schools. A whopping 17,000 at a go. Together with a huge investment in security, agriculture, etc

Are we yet where we should be? Capital NO. But we are better than we were 5 years ago. Far better with still so much more to be done

So why should Ogun that makes so much than Oyo be known basically for too much of Bad roads.

And the excuse that some roads are federal roads is why it isn't done is all ruse. They don't have the goodwill to push it to be done

Oyo state did the 42KM Oyo to Iseyin road. A federal road that has been abandoned for over 40 years. Seyi Makinde went to the Federal government under Buhari,asked for permission even when some senators because of political expediency didn't want the FG to give the go ahead. But he put pressure on the FG and Fashola gave the Go-ahead.

This was a PDP versus an APC Federal government. So what is now stopping over 12 years of the APC at the federal and at the state for it not to have been done..

It shows those people at the state are not serious with Govornace except to be coming up with excuses

This is like a sporting match to them. They must cheer their side regardless. Most have no real understanding of the policies they are cheering or any clear moral underpinnings, they support their side regardless. The same with Buhari supporters. I wonder if they are cheering now, not that the Naira went from 400 to 1500.

But it's very early in the process. Whether Biden stays or steps aside, there are too many headwinds for the GOP this election. The Abortion issue is huge esp given this runaway Supreme Court. And of course you have Trump. I'm in a blue state but I've heard many people say they would vote Dem. even if Biden were a cadavre. There's fear and concern out there.

No one has to like losing, Al Gore didnt like it, Hilary didnt like it, Trump didnt like it, The ones who blamed Russian collusion didn't like it, the ones who blamed illegal immigrant voting didnt like it, the ones who blamed dominion machines didnt like it,

At the end of the day, they had their say, they had their tantrums They went home whether peacefully or forcefully while America and the the constitution had its way

You are just all over the place from Trump to Buhari to APC to GOP, stay in one place. According to you after Buhari willed 8000 people was he sworn in as president in 2011?

You are not the first person who tried that scare tactic. Michael Moore said it in 2016 and how right is he? The one he told us to mark down in 2016 how is it faring now
And what did Algore and Hilary do when they lost? They went through the right way of airing their grievances. Did they call for the official certification to be stopped? Capital NO. They even attended the inaguration of Trump

Gore went to court which is the normal and most civil way. What did Trump do? After all his cases have been thrown out of the courts,he told his supporters to go stop the official certification by saying "Stop the steal" An action that lead to the death of people.

I'm happy you're doing like you didn't see for that side. That for the first time in US History people were killed because a sitting president didn't want to leave power . grin grin

I can see your hypocrisy my bro.

Anyways I am not that pained for the US,but for developing countries and developing democracies like ours .

Biden had 4 yrs, sell your candidacy on your 4yrs, No its all about Trump will do this Trump will do that. Trump will kill everyone, pack everyone in jail , take your wives

Democrats are calling for Biden to step down because his performance on that debate stand was shameful and not what you want the POTUS to be like. While many of the Dems are still backing him.
Lmao 🤣🤣🤣

I like in your first paragraph you claim you won't allow the Dems to do what is not constitutionally possible,but Trump can do anything he wants to the constitution. Trying to stop a peaceful transfer of power because he didn't want to leave Power. An action that lead to the death of People. As in,if it was Obama that tried that,hell would have come down,but it's Trump,you can look the other side.

You're just like the average Buhari cum APC supporter who claim some people abuse online,and tear bras and pants,but look the other way when Buhari supporters slaughtered over 800 people in the 2011 election. They get angry over online abuse, but look the other way against actual deaths and killing.

That is exactly what the GOP has turned into.

You can clap for yourself o.

Mark this down, If Trump wins,He won't leave power. He tried 2020 and it didn't work, Aan action that lead to the Death of people.

He will try more and better this time and it would work

We can see how deep it is. Like trying to stop the peaceful transfer of power. The first time in US History. An action that lead to the death of people. All because he didn't want to leave power. It was just sheer luck that it didn't get worst that day.

Anyways, you see how Dems are calling for Biden to step down right? But the GOP are rubbing the head of head of a spoilt brat who is a convicted fellow.

People who impeached and tried removing a sitting president (Clinton) all because he lied over a moral case. Didn't tell his supporters to stop the peaceful transfer of power like Trump did or told "Inec" to help him find votes.

Anyways,Biden should also shut down the case against his Son and classify it as official Acts since two can play the game.

Sorry, but this is not true.

The president does not decide what official acts are. The Constitution of the United States of America does, and it clearly states when a president shall leave office.
But the constitution was clear on the transfer of power which Trump told his supporters to go and "Stop the steal" Isn't it? Did they not? Did Trump not try to stop it?

If Pence had been killed that night by the mob,do you think the peaceful transfer of power would happen?

Now,that didn't happen,but with this Judgement,any baga can decide to stay in power. And we know who will want to stay in power citing "official ACTS"

An individual doesn't define what is an official act. The office he occupies has rules

If he decides not leave, won't even be a question. Did Trump want to leave or not?

Did he leave or he didn't? That's America and why it's not a banana republic
He didn't want to leave and you know that. What happened when he didn't want to leave never happened in the history of the US. The US has been known for the peaceful transfer of power and for the first time in US History. 2020 took a violent turn and we all watched on TV when Democracy in America nearly went up in flames.

If Democracy fails in the US,it fails in developing countries like ours because the US won't have any moral standing to condem election rigging or coup by sit tight leaders

And Yes,With this ruling Trump has just been given a free pass to stay in power because he will claim being under official acts.

Someone that tried to stay beyond power when this type of ruling wasn't in place,will stay in power with this type of ruling.

Leave sentiments aside and look at the broader picture.

Trump or anybody will decide to stay in power citing the election being rigged when they were not rigged and claim "Official Acts".

That is what I'm saying

Is it

1. President does not have immunity from ALL acts
or
2. President does have immunity from ALL acts

"Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends.

Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today. Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.”

“Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune.

Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune.

Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.”

“Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends.

The justice did not end the dissent with the traditional “respectfully” language.

PDPGuy:
Now, you’re first hypo its where it could get tricky. I wouldn’t want to believe that a reasonable judge would agree that your first hypo is an official act, because even if the political opponent has committed treason against the U.S., he/she would still have to go through due process before a punishment can be meted out to that person.

But if that same rival, for eg, takes hostages in a federal building, while being armed and threatens to shoot all the hostages unless a President Trump (or Biden) withdraws from the race, a court may decide that the sitting president has the official power to authorize the FBI’s SWAT team to take out that rival. No doubt that the DOJ and the court may reason that the president’s duty to protect lives and property would be sufficient justification for the president to authorize the on the spot shooting of his rival, in that circumstance.

As to your second example, the District court would most likely hold that, Trump allegedly asking his supporters to invade Capitol Hill, would be outside the scope of his official duties, especially if he didn’t use any instrument of governance ie the DOJ, FBI etc to pass that order to his supporters.
Okay thanks

The delineation between “official” and “unofficial” acts would rest with the DC District court. But as raumdeuter suggested, I would think that Judge Chutkin (of the DC District Court) would likely find that Trump, asking a Secret Service agent to assassinate a rival candidate for president, would fall under “unofficial acts”.
And if he says "Killing a political opponent is the best for America and saying he is a threat to America and can be classified under official acts"

E.G, A Trump that didn't want to leave power or asked his supporters to invade the Capitol.

So how would it be classified as unofficial acts?

If a sitting president decides to do that,tell me how it will be classied

Osama and Suleimani are people who killed Americans isn't it? They are criminals. All over the world they kill criminals. So how would you compare this to other cases?

If Obama had his political opponent killed, he should be tried. Osama isn't Obama's political opponent.

That is why the SCOTUS is telling the lower courts to differentiate which is official and which is not

Or what is outrageous about this ruling? This is a simple common sense ruling

Simply put. There are official duties which are covered and unofficial which are not covered

or should we start trying Presidents who order killing terrorists for murder because we are pretending not to know what is official and what is not official?
It isn't. Let's not support what is not right. This is a very very wrong ruling which will indirectly turn the US into a dictatorship.

A President tomorrow can decide not to leave government because "it is official act". Isn't it?

A former president told state "Inec" to find votes for him, A former president told his supporters to invade the capital and stop the steal. Actions that are purely inlegal yet you are trying to claim it isn't an avenue for Dictatorship

The SCOTUS said Trump has immunity from official acts but not for unofficial acts

Its now left to the lower courts to clarify what is Official act and what is not official act

E.g Ordering the killing of a known terrorist like Osama, Suleimani who pose a threat to the US is an official act, ordering the killing of a business associate who you don't like is an unofficial act

This is a very simple thing, What will be the reason for Biden to order the arrest on Trump?

Let me ask you the order to kill Osama where do you think it falls under? vs the order to kill a random civilian

Everyone has an official duty and an unofficial duty. A driver carrying business luggage for delivery vs the same driver going to party on the weekend. Which one is official and which is unofficial
But asking a state official to help him find votes is official acts?

Or telling his supporters to storm the Capital to "stop the steal" is official acts?
