LAGOS—THE Alliance for Democracy, AD, has adopted President Goodluck Jonathan as its flag bearer for the March 28 election.
The party also said its National Executive Council, NEC, has suspended its former National Secretary, Rafiu Salau, stating that the NEC ratified the report of disciplinary committee that found Salau culpable of anti-party activities.
Addressing newsmen after its NEC meeting held in Lagos, the party’s national chairman, Senator Mojisoluwa Akinfenwa, said with the adoption of President Jonathan, the AD machinery and structures across the country, are available for the president.
Akinfenwa said: “Our decision to endorse Dr. Goodluck Jonathan did not come easy. We had to critically compare his record with that of General Buhari and we can affirm that Jonathan has demonstrated beyond reasonable doubt that he is a true democrat.”
While stressing that it did not see the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) as a true representative of patriotic, detribalized northerners, the party said the opposition APC cannot change the tide of the country because its leaders have no moral conscience.
The party said Salau who emerged as the factional presidential candidate of the party was expelled after NEC decision of 41 for and 2 against votes found him culpable of gross misconduct, anti-party activities, unruly behaviour to the chairman of the party, among others
The traditional ruler of Oworoshoki in Kosofe local government area of Lagos State, Oba Bashir Oloruntoyin Saliu has denied allegations of illegal sale of land in his domain by the Lagos State government, saying the land being sold belongs to his family. At a press briefing, weekend in his palace, Oba Saliu said: “The traditional institution under my watch is law abiding. We are not illegal land sellers and there is no one involved in the sale of government landed properties in my domain as alleged. The land my family is selling is the 5171 hectares allotted to me on behalf of the Saliu Salami Rufai family covered with C of O issued and signed by Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN) on July 3, 2009.” Oba Saliu said, “The 5171 hectares of land were allotted to us following an Ikeja High court judgment of October 12, 1994 in suit number ID/390/93, in favor of my family against the State, and as a matter of facts, the family do not sell our land but lease it to people

If Fayose knew he couldn't govern the state why did he run for election? I forgot for continuous immunity from pending prosecutions which he wont even escape.
And why are you defending the guy sef? Is that the manner of individuals you are proud to have in government? What principles do pdp have that give them such staunch supporters?

WumiFavour: And this is the "Change" we are clamouring for Even the so called O Yes he created he hasnt paid them for 8months. And people outside Osun be thinking Aregbe is a demi god. I was in Osun when he was declared the winner by the Court, I watched my neighbour cry. It was their last hope. Be careful what you wish for #change

biggerboyc: GEJ has really failed the country and he doesn't deserve any second oppurtunity. if u cannot do any good thing within four years u are not a good leader. why GEJ will not win the next election is explain in this video
vikyno: Den never see anything. Yeye set of people. They have been rendered so useless that they see nothing in a Governor owing them backlog of salaries. To make the matter worse, they have a set of NLC that are so clueless to the extent of forgetting they are suppose to be the lifeblood of any government.
I have never seen such a toothless bulldog of NLC people that are so cold in my life. At times, I wonder if Yoruba people never had to opportunity to be educated as they were, they would have been the worst tribe in this country.
DonaldGenes: Then, you never see anything yet...You might wanna see this also, just so we're clear
.I learnt Mexico got electric trains for same facilities but our was locomotive.... Sometimes, iLack words to describe how poignantly regretful i am voting GEJ.. He should have ask question before bringing in the trains.. No doubt, it is a good thing and a good concept by his team but using it to pilfer tax payers money is absolutely balderdash

SLIDEwaxie: The feds has been shortchanging allocations to APC states, and also stopped them from accessing loans. Only recently, the daft one okays them for loans so as to look good, but the real truth was, it was just a news; they were still unable to get any loans or full allocations. And most of these states have engaged in many projects that couldn't be continued.
Now, over the deductions; the deductions were not meant for states, it was meant for teachers' cooperative societies where teachers can access loans. For example, onward I Abeokuta, Ogun state clearly said he can t give loans to teachers because no cash has entered since December.
They can all reach a consensus if they want, or go on strike if they wish...
SLIDEwaxie: You are all crazy. That is just it. The only reason I hated Jonathan was bcis of these criminals he rallied with. In a meeting g in Abeokuta, u have a die hard PDP friend who spilled the beans; he was asked to contest because he wld enjoy 8 good yes of immunity from his drug related crimes. The US are asking Jonathan to release the guy for justice, he has refused. Now, he can have immunity in Nigeria for 8 good yes. If u see the hall he built for Jonathan inabusi in ijebu Igbo, u will understand why Jonathan has been silenced over thus issue.
A man wey no fit go US cos of the charges against him. They said Tinubu cannot go, bt he has been there for his female child's graduation and nothing happened. Let buriji go now...
Buruji doesn't have any case U expect him to tell u his schedule All obj rant is because he's pained cuz he didn't join saraki,oyinlola ND odas
