It started with old PDP
Which came to an end with the new PDP
Otherwise known as APC
Which is gradually becoming a new APC
Which is essentially OLD PDP
according to a confession by lai moh'd.
In short, lai moh'd has just confessed that PDP has hijacked the change with new APC.

APC accuses Saraki, Dogara of being pro-PDp.



The All Progressives Congress, APC, on Wednesday noted that the present composition of the leadership of the National Assembly, which has the Upper Chamber headed by Senator Bukola Saraki, and the Lower Chamber by Yakubu Dogara, was pro-Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

This was disclosed by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily monitored in Abuja. He insisted that the action of some of its members which resulted in what transpired during the inauguration of the 8th National Assembly on Tuesday was deserving of punishment.

According to him, “What we have in the Senate now is a pro-PDP Senate which is not in the interest of our party. How do you expect us to sit with Ekweremadu and Mark and discuss matters of national importance?


“These are part of the old Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, order we struggled to defeat at the centre. So how can we then sit down with them to discuss issues of national importance with these people?” he asked.

When reminded that the APC still controls majority at the National Assembly, Mohammed noted that the parliament’s leadership as currently constituted is an ally of the PDP, “because it got its mandate through the block votes of the PDP. Remember, there were only eight APC Senators who voted for Saraki. The balance which is 49 are from PDP. In the House of Representatives, only 30 APC members voted for Yakubu Dogara. So you can see that the National Assembly is pro-PDP.

“They even overreached themselves by naming David Mark as the Senate Leader before they realised the illegality of their action and reverse themselves.”

Tinubu is a ‘local champion’, Saraki, Dogara have ended his political career – Bode George
The APC spokesman further noted that inasmuch as the party will not want to lose its members, those involved will still be sanctioned because, “the indiscipline should not be allowed to go just like that. If this is allowed to go, then it means any member can perpetrate bigger indiscipline and hope to get away with it.”

Those in front are blocking the flags.Deal with it! Nigeria is being respected o nce again .

Go find another excuse and wait for good observers to refute your claims

@Op. . .nice observation.

you guys are all kids. Look at what you are debating. Buhari in front? I am ashamed of your inferiority complex. By the way, he must be in front in this pix. The heads of states are in front while organisations like IMF, are at back. No single head of state is at the back so nobody is blocking any flag.

Buhari should stop breaking his promises so early now.....he promised never to intervene in NASS elections. He promised to work with whoever emerges. Why trying to arm twist them now? Baba....there is God ooooo

Jesus....and APC had the gut to criticise ekiti state lawmakers for acknowledging fayose. this is serious. You mean somebody that represents all of us in lagos state is now representing a single individual. All of us can as well line up to go and represent tinubu. Very soon, oba akiolu too will start representing tinubu. Na wah o

At last, they are willing after so much pressure is being mounted on them I just discovered something, buhari will not work unless we mount pressure on him. It is only the opposition that can help buhari to perform, he has no will to do anything.

But the vice president, osibanjo can lick tinubu's ass....that one is democracy. APCeeeee.....hypocrite!!!

Beremx:
ok

#notimeforsillyarguments

you are making false allegations and you are not ashamed to talk about argument. Apologise for spreading your lies as usual

This tout is the problem of the infrastructure people in Ekiti state

yes o, unlike aregbesola that is working seriously to make osun state another paradise for citizens. One of the doctors just sent me SOS message yesterday cos he is about to die of hunger induced by aregbesola

Whaoh......Sai buhari

Just 3 days into buhari Govt, EFCC is now withdrawing cases....i thought they said we need more prisons. Yeye dey smell

Fayose is a sharp man....they thought they can just chop and clean mouth while still demonising the governor.

I copied this from Facebook page of

Ekiti Govt confirms paying APC lawmakers entitlements

Ekiti State government has described as falsehood and dishonesty, claim by the All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmakers that they have not been paid their entitlements.

The government said in a statement issued on Sunday by the State Commissioner for Finance, Chief Toyin Ojo that the lawmakers duly acknowledged receipt of cheques for their payments last week Wednesday through his office.

The government was reacting to a statement issued by one Wole Olujobi, who claimed to be the lawmakers' spokesperson that Governor Ayodele Fayose placed embargo on the lawmakers bank accounts and did not pay them their entitlements.

The statement read; "We would have remained silent in deference to the agreement reached at the last Monday meeting in Akure that all parties should maintain silence on the outcome of the meeting, especially because the lawmakers said they do not want their leaders to know the outcome of the meeting.

However, since the lawmakers have chosen not to abide by this agreement by first issuing press statement to deny and reveal what was discussed in the meeting, and now going to the press to say that they have not received any payment, the government does not have any other option than to tell the public the truth and set the records straight.

"The government is by this press statement putting the records straight since the money paid to the lawmakers belong to Ekiti people.

"The payment was made in cheques because the lawmakers pleaded that their accounts should not be credited directly so as to avoid the banks from making deductions for loans taken from the banks.

"Saying that they have not been paid is quite unfortunate and unbecoming of honourable members of the State House of Assembly and this is sad.

"We will want to keep our fingers crossed and we wish to caution the lawmakers to adhere strictly to the spirit of the agreements.

"Governor Fayose's good gesture, aimed at ensuring peace in the State should not be abused."

You keep asking the same question because you have refused to listen!

The Code of Conduct Bureau will need to verify all assets declared by Buhari and his vice before it can be made public, and that will take not less than a month according to how the CCB works. It is the reason why the assets can not be made public now - CCB verification. This explains why Yar'Adua waited a month before he could make it public.

I am honestly tired of saying the same thing.

my dear you are saying rubbish. You don't assume in law. There is no law that says CCB must must verify before it can be made public. Wether it is made public or not does not concern the CCB. Quote the law here that says You must wait till after CCB verification before going public. You think everybody us a fool that will just accept your baseless propaganda without proof

PassingShot:
You're unstable, I understand your type.

Read your earlier post and see if it shows any respect as you want people to believe. Pay attention to the emboldened part.

Now to help educate you, I referred you to a thread but you refused to read. How else can I help your case?

Yar'Adua who remains the only person to make his assets public did it after a full month; which is in line with what was explained in the thread you don't want to read.

Did Buhari say he would declare his asset publicly within 48 hours? The president submitted his asset declaration form even before he was sworn in. The assets will have to be verified and thereafter, they can be made public. Even if he doesn't do it, the FOI bill can make anyone obtain it from CCB.

You're too naïve and you need more lessons in life. Don't quote me any further because I will not reply you.

why are you like this? I am telling you what will happen. That I may not call buhari names does not mean others won't call him names. In fact, they will abuse him. Did yaradua promise during campaign that he would declare his asset publicly? No he didn't. He only declared it as an after thought. Buhari on the other hand campaigned that he was going to publicly declare his asset. Why wait till one month? Is there any law that says you must wait for one month? Is yaradua going to be the constitution or pace setter for buhari. Maybe you forgot nigerian nicknamed yaradua Mr slow. That he even declared after one month was fast by yaradua standard. So if this is another slow regime, let us know. Please, let me quote you again. Are you so tired of calling me child of anger. Fool

Make sure you don't commit suicide over President Buhari. It's an advice.

Me? You are a clown. I am only asking my president to do what he promised. Unlike you, till may 29, GEJ was my president and I never abused him. Today, buhari is my president and he has my respect. This is democracy. Buhari is answerable to all...Wether we vote for him or not. you are the one that shouldn't commit suicide over somebody that belongs to everybody

Child of anger, hope you know how to read and understand.

As per your 5k, send your account details to the presidency.

I am not interested in your childish attack. You either call people that are asking legitimate question child of anger, haters etc. That's pathetic for an advocate of change. I don't need to read your diversionary thread. Did buhari promise to declare his asset publicly or not? What is the basis for declaring one secretly ist with the hope of declaring another one later? Kindly show me where it is written in the law that buhari must not make his asset public until he declares it secretly to CCB ist? Buhari must retrace his steps latest by tommorrow and declare the number of cows in his farm with immediate effect otherwise you will soon get tired of calling people child of anger when they saying... SHAME BABA

PassingShot:
What is perfect in a statement/question that a ten year old cannot even ask?

I said you guys are children and I mean it. Go to school for proper education so you can make logical statements.

you are just making noise. Transparency demands he makes it public at the same time he is submitting it to the CCB. He can steal billions within one week and later declare it as part of his asset and nothing will happen. He is not bound by law to make it public but he promised and if he can't fulfil a simple promise of publicly declaring his asset, I wonder when the unemployed will start getting their 5k monthly stipend

Mynd44:
1. He said he will declare it publicly within 100 days. It ain't 100 days yet

2. Has any money being appropriated to the "First lady" or "the wife of the president's office"?

3. Buhari has always said they wont waste time probing people but draw a line from May 29. He only said certain cases will be looked into because of the amount involved.

You guys make this thing too easy for the pro-Buharis

Ok. You think you are making sense abi? Why not wait till after 100days before declaring the asset secretly? So he declared one secretly yesterday and he will declare another one later and you think that is transparent? So we should wait till 100days when billions could have been stolen before knowing his asset? Clap for yourself. The law says he must declare his asset before performing any function as president. If he knew he won't declare it publicly he shouldn't have promised.
2) do they appropriate any money for the office of the ist lady even during jonathan regime? Office of the ist lady is not recognised by the constitution so they don't appropriate any money or you can tell us which regime appropriated money for that office if you know and that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
3) corruption is not determined by the amount of money involved. It is the same thing as jonathan saying how much did mwobodo stole?

You started on a wrong note. A lot of change agent on nairaland assume that once you criticise buhari, you are a biafran so I don't want distractions. Now, let us agree security is a challenge but the approach of buhari was only emotional not tactical...at best a 1979 war approach. we are in the digital age. The soldiers don't make command centre effective, the Govt does. The command centre is made effective with technology not with relocation. You mean if Niger delta militant start bombing tommorrow again you will relocate again to bayelsa.? What if they are bombing Niger delta and maiduguru at the same time, we will create another command centre? Let us start challenging our politician we are intelligent. Moving command centre to maiduguri changes nothing. It is as good as saying because a plane crashed at the Atlantic sea, we should move control tower to the sea to be more effective. You mean buhari is just studying how to tackle power sector crisis after contesting for 16yrs. What was he thinking since that time? We should give him eight months to develop a policy? Why were they criticising jonathan policy when they had no alternative plan? He had no business talking about amnesty ending yesterday. He was sending a wrong signal on the ist day in office without providing a likely alternative. My friend...he wasted the ist 24hrs in office. let's wait wether he can redeem the next 24hrs

agabusta:
Trash! Who gives a hoot the tribe u hail from?
By claiming you ain't a kid, you definitely embarras people that always assert that with age comes wisdom with this nonsense u wrote up there.

Now lemme break it down for you:

We urgently need a solution to the power problem as u opined. But that is not the only problem we have. Mr President clearly shows wisdom by prioritising his roadmap. The first priority is the Boko Haram madness that is wasting human lives without blinking. And he has already taken a step in stating that the Command and Control Centre of the Boko Haram war should be relocated to Maiduguri. There is no room for underperformance by the commanders. Let their lives also be at stake in Maiduguri, then the seriousness of the situation will talk to them. The time of chilling in comfort zones in Abuja is over.

They should deploy to Maiduguri and perform, otherwise quit the stage. If the entire country is under attack will they need to move their command centre to a peaceful place like the moon before they can pursue the war?? If the entire country is the war theatre, won't they have their command centre in the war zone?? They are not getting the heat because they are in faraway Abuja chilling with chicks and politicians. When they get the heat at the theatre of war and action, they will definitely perform.

Now going back to your first point.

Mohammed Buhari clearly stated the seriousness of the power issue in his address. I quote

"No single cause can be identified to explain Nigerian’s poor economic performance over the years than the power situation."

That is Buhari telling you that the main reason our economy is not growing as it should is because of the power sector. Which indicates he understands the urgency of the situation.

You said you expected the president to declare emergency and tell us all the problems bedeviling the power sector, his policies and solutions, etc. Mr Man, it is an inaugural speech we call it, not manifesto speech. And this is not the only speech he'll make for us. This is an inaugural speech!
He may later dedicate an entire session with the press to discuss Nigeria power problems. What he did intelligently in his address is to tell us the focal point of his administration and he did that brilliantly. Quoting PMB again on the power issue:

"Continuous tinkering with the structures of power supply and distribution and close on $20b expanded since 1999 have only brought darkness, frustration, misery, and resignation among Nigerians. We will not allow this to go on. Careful studies are under way during this transition to identify the quickest, safest and most cost-effective way to bring light and relief to Nigerians."

He clearly and emphatically stated that his administration will not allow this to go on as it is now. As a doctor u claimed you are, you should be aware of the importance of carrying out detailed study before implementation. That is the major key to success in any human endeavour. From what was transmitted to them, he has stated that a study is underway to discover fastest and safest way to deliver cost effective power supply to people like you. If after 8 months, they are yet to brief the country in detail as to their plans in this regard and then start implementation, then people like you can cry foul. I may even join you sef. But for now, all your assertions are childish and tantamount to calling a dog a bad name to kill it. I wonder why I'm even replying u sef. Well I guess it's because i'm kinda bored at the moment.
I wonder where u saw or heard Buhari stated that he'll end amnesty program if not that you lack comprehension skills. Buhari said and I quote:


"The amnesty programme in the Niger Delta is due to end in December, but the Government intends to invest heavily in the projects, and programmes currently in place."


By misquoting the above for your own trash, you must be a village herbalist and not a doctor u claim to be. MB stated tht the program is due to end! He didn't say he is ending it! It means the program already has a lifespan even before Buhari came on board and he clearly stated that his administration will build heavily on the programs.

Oh my world, some people are so dull and silly!

Amnesty did not take preeminence in his speech as wrongly posited by you. Security did. And rightfully connected to security is the amnesty program in the Niger Delta which he promised to pursue and sustain.
If there is no security of lives, properties and investments in the Niger Delta, I wonder how you'll get fuel and power which you want him to prioritise over Security and Niger Delta issues. Pls use your head.

SkyBlue1:
Why are you even indulging him? Save your bandwidth for more intelligent and sincere posters. We gave PDP 16 years and Jonathan 6, but all of a sudden less than 24 hours is critical. Rational minds should ignore all this rubbish.

thanks for showing how irrational you are. You tell others to ignore it and you came here to post on the thread. Do you agree you just indicted yourself to be an irrational mind? And Pls stop talking rubbish about giving pdp 16yrs...remove buhari from APC and all you get is PDP....amaechi, El rufai, tambuwal, oyinlola, segun oni. We are no longer campaigning you know....so save yourself all the propaganda about change. we expect change in action...so far there is no change in people governing us if you remove buhari

otokx:
Buhari can not do so much until his cabinet is announced and the legislature in place.

In Port Harcourt, refuse has not been evacuated in over a week, the roads are full, overflowing and almost blocked by dirt not pot holes. Wike would have also asked Julius Berger to evacuate the trash then do the pot holes.

Patience is the key, initial gra gra will not get us out of Egypt.

you mean Patience jonathan. I am not saying buhari should give me light within 24hrs. Tell me how it will be done, give us policy directions so we know you are not experimenting only to start blaming saboteurs later. Nigeria has 2 main emergencies..
.power and fuel! We deserve to know what our president will do about it within 24hrs, how he will do it so we can all support it. He had 2 months to prepare my dear...he won since March 28...
Yo mean since that time he didn't know yet what do about our greatest headache? You mean this is how they will start preaching patience till another 4yrs. I can only be patient if buhari tells me how he will do it not by leaving us in the darkness to guess. This is change and we expect nothing but change.

san316:
If you think what you wrote made sense, you wouldn't have tried justifying yourself. However, I no go call you mumu. You already know what you are.

you can pass....zero IQ people are not invited

The funfare is over, the CHANGE is 24hrs old but the reality on ground and the body language of the president has not changed anything.

1)The last time we had light anywhere near alimosho axis of lagos was 10days ago straight. I expected the president to at least declare a state of emergency in the power sector even with his inaugural speech. I expected the president to tell us what the problem is with the power sector and then tell us how he intends to stop it. Is it generation, is it transmission? Is it gas, is it over centralisation of the power sector? We don't have time for frivolities. Moving the defence command from abuja to maiduguri changes exactly nothing. The world has broken the chain of communication. We don't need defence command in maiduguri for effective communication. We only need to upgrade our communications gadget.

2) this is not time for rhetorics...I don't belong to anybody is just a sentence that carries no weight. action will tell us wether or not you belong to somebody. Why am I still wondering where I will buy fuel this morning and at what price? The president speech yesterday could have solved the fuel crisis this morning. He could also have declared a state of emergency in the energy sector. Is he going to continue with subsidy? Is he going to pay marketers? For example, if he merely stated yesterday that he was going to pay the marketers the fuel will be flowing freely this morning. If he says he was going to stop subsidy after building the refinery within a space of 2 yrs, fuel will still flow cos marketers know they will get money for the one supplied. We don't want to start guessing what our president will do. We need change.

As a president, Jonathan attends redeemed camp, winners chapel at his leisure and we said we wanted change. However, buhari, from day 1, is abandoning state functions to go to mosque. Will this man not abadon Federal executive meeting to pray in the mosque. We want change not a change from patronising pastors to a change from patronising mosque especially during important state functions. The president can organise a thanksgiving on Friday but not while hosting president of other nations. He could have used that time to negotiate an important visa regime for nigerians but he started with frivolities. Don't tell me he put God first, remember what you said when jonathan visited winners chapel!

We need a deadline for power shortage and fuel crisis not amnesty programme. You can stop amnesty programme but how us that so important on the ist day if not for vendetta. It is so funny that nigerians are taking the peace in niger delta for granted now. When they busy bombing pipelines under general obasanjo, a senior to general buhari, you people were shouting. Now there is relative peace, the ist signal of the president is to stop it. Tell me how does amnesty significantly affect us like power and fuel to take prominence in the president first speech. Will this president not keep chasing shadows? We don't want a learning president. We need him to hit the ground from day 1.

So far so good, the president in action yesterday was still the president elect. No action yet just rhetorics. Even wike, A pdp governor immediately appointed chief judge, called back Julies berger and reinstated sacked people. That was a beautiful 1st day spent in office not a day spent in the mosque while we were watching with our generating set. Wether you like it or not, 24hrs is gone out of buhari's presidency and nothing, I mean nothing has changed so far. Today is another day though.

God bless MR PRESIDENT.

[quote author=FastShipping post=34160839]I read everything from top to bottom. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala must be held responsible for the gross misconduct in the handling of our economy. She is just an economist on paper. She is grossly incompetent and corrupt. A situation where a minister of finance could not attend important meetings with the governors or giving the governors oral presentation on the state of the economy is a sign of incompetence and corruption. She has never presented the governors with facts written in black and white. From what Oshiomohle wrote, Okonjo Iweala has been avoiding the governors because she has been found wanting. Okonjo Iweala has been giving out waivers after waivers to importers. She has been depleting national treasury since the beginning of this administration. Ultimately, she has been spending and borrowing like a drunken sailor.

On the issue of oil theft, Jonathan and his cabals are responsible for that. How can oil theft be going on our waterways while Jonathan pays billions of naira to militants to secure the place?

[b]Okonjo Iweale must be probed, interrogated and jailed for [/b]her gross misconduct.[/quote] why do you still want to probe her since you have concluded she should be jailed already. You don't need to waste tax payers money to probe her. Just jail her directly. Everybody jail, jail, jail. You guys are clowns

Why are you people making buhari's job so difficult? As it were, in the short term, buhari is dependent on these marketers and not vice versa. GEJ refused to pay them and the whole country was grounded. Nobody blamed them....GEJ was to blame cos he wanted to punish us. now he pays them, you say he is not man enough. So, if buhari refuses to pay them and they ground the country, what will buhari do? Jail them as usual. You guys are clowns.

skeendyke:
It were better you just read the article and walked on than add more offense by polluting the air with your foul ignorance.

In the history of Nigeria, which democratically elected leader has handed over a paralyzed Nation to the other democratically elected leader as Jonathan's government? Has there ever been such utter negligence to be recorded on the part of the outgoing incumbent President as it is with Jonathan? This is the first and worst of its kind and hopefully the last. He just folds his hands and refuses to lift a finger to address the crisis sinking the Nation as he will be handing over in a few days.

You mentioned Tinubu inheriting a broken economy. It is clear I must be talking to someone born in 1993 upwards. You're just a kid with a smart phone and internet. Go and ask your parents or uncles and aunties who resided in Lagos during the military administration of Buba Marwa how he transformed Lagos, his achievements and innovations he introduced in Lagos at the time some of which are still helping the state economy till date. Compare the administration of Marwa in the state level with that of Jonathan in the federal level and see which is greater and better. You have google, don't you?

You also mentioned Obama and Tony Blair. I give up. You're utterly incorrigible and hopeless. I drop my pen here as I'm now fully convinced your head is impervious to learning.

Pls stop calling somebody you don't know a kid...the line is becoming boring and it makes you appear more childish than the guy you castigate. Ok. We know jonathan is the worst president. We agree the economy is in shambles. Kindly tell me, why else do you think we voted for change? If the economy is not comatose, buhari would have lost the election. Buhari won election because of jonathan failure, he is a beneficiary of jonathan failure. He can't use the same failure of jonathan as an excuse for his own failure again...that is if he fails. All the sermons of lai Mohammed will soon become stale if they don't hit the ground working rather than complaining

You guys are becoming silly with this your idea of buhari will jail this, sack his opponent as if we are in the jungle. What if fayose says buhari is a dullard and so what? Fayose was elected like buhari was elected. If you guys encourage your bihari to toe the line of jail everybody because they opposed you, impeach them cos they called you names, close AIT because they didn't support you, he won't even last one year so don't be silly

ZeezaRapture:
you again.
Okay let's do a little analysis here..

The case has been shifted to 4th of June, so i ask you a question..

Who will be the President by '4th of June'??













General Muhammadu Buhari






The same man Fayose said he would die in power.














The same man Fayose said he wears pampers











The same man Fayose said he is too old to rule Nigeria











The same man Fayose called a puppet.







In a nutshell,






Fayose's chance of getting impeached has just increased from 100% to 110%

GogetterMD:
I want him to remain for his full tenure, not because he's a great leader, but so that the people of Ekiti can appreciate the real impact of being the 2nd poorest state in the country without federal backing. Then we will see what they appreciate between capital infrastructure and stomach infrastructure, that's even if he can sustain his stomach infrastructure policy sef
