My mother is from Awka Etiti near Ekwulobia. See me see nonesense from this evil aboonki president.

PassingShot:
You're obviously an aasshole!

How does CCB saying it lacks the power to make assets public translate to Buhari not making same public?

FFK the mouth running man. I am sure some things have changed hands behind the scene. Now that basket mouth FFK will start ranting about the opposition now on. If it was a poor boy that stole a chicken just for hungry purpose, the judge would have sentenced the young man to 47 years imprisonment with hard labour. A country where we have one set of laws for the rich and the other for the poor

Gboliwe:

bettercreature:
Infact this is one of the reason people will continue to destroy this country,our judiciary are full of shiit people stole billions and no single high profile politician been jailed since 1999,the best is to burn your voters card as there is no CHANGE any where these people are just the same

PassingShot:
Hasn't the president promised to declare his assets publicly immediately after Code of Conduct Bureau has verified same?

Are we not still "within the 100 days" he promised during his campaign?

Too many jobless journalists!

Akande make a valid point, but these is actually not the right time to have say that.
I still blame President Buhari for all this rubbish, if as the leader of the party he insist on remaining quiet then am sorry APC is heading to france

FRESH facts on Tuesday indicated that the national caucus meeting of the All Progressives Congress scheduled for Monday was cancelled because of the suspicion within the party.

The PUNCH learnt that the APC leadership called off the meeting because of reported anger of some leaders of the ruling party in the north at insinuations by Chief Bisi Akande that they were behind the crisis in the party.

Akande, a former interim national chairman of the APC, had in a letter made public on Monday alleged, among other things, that, “Most Northern elite, the Nigerian oil subsidy barons and other business cartels, who never liked (President Muhammadu) Buhari’s anti-corruption political stance, are quickly backing up the rebellion against APC with strong support.”

A member of the party’s caucus from the North-East geopolitical zone, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said it would have been a rancorous session if the caucus meeting had held in what he described as “such an atmosphere of mutual suspicion.”

The party leader, who in fact said he would have spoken on the record if not for the fence- mending efforts being made by other leaders of the party, said, “We (northerners) are unhappy about Chief (Bisi) Akande’s outburst. It was unnecessary because we are all trying to put out a fire that is threatening to consume our house. And when you have a respected leader and elder making such unguarded statements it does not help.

“I personally hold Chief Akande in high esteem but what he wrote in that letter was nothing short of an insult on our collective sensibilities. How can you single out a section of your party and call them criminals who were supporting rebels to destroy the party we all built? This is most unexpected and uncharitable to say the least.”

Also, a chieftain of the APC, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, on Tuesday, described as unfortunate, the statement by Akande.

Baraje, in a statement in Abuja, said he was disappointed that Akande who had led the party and served as a state governor could author a statement in which he was allegedly seeking to divide the nation by setting the North against the South-West.

The APC leader, who once served as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, said, “I do not know where Chief Akande and his cohorts are getting this unsubstantiated information they are circulating. We challenge them to provide proof and let Nigerians make their judgment.

“Akande and co believe that they have exclusive right to determine who occupies what position in today’s Nigeria and whoever tries to challenge their position must be subjected to savage attack in the media. That tactic is definitely undemocratic.

“I have known Chief Akande to be an honest man. I got the shock of my life when he alleged that I had a meeting in my house with ‘some old and new PDP members with a view to hijacking the National Assembly’ through the aspiration of Dr. Bukola Saraki as the Senate President.

“I have been quiet as a leader so as to not to be seen as taking sides because of my closeness to Dr. Saraki, else people will read meaning into it.

“Akande has been playing a role which I admire. He will recall that he met some actors, with a governor from the North-West and a leader of the party from the South-West, where the leader from the South-West was cautioned to be reasonable in this crisis.

“He (Akande) supported the view of the governor from the North-West that the particular leader from the South-West should be admonished for his action. It is therefore surprising that Akande is now being economical with the truth and painting a picture that exists only in his imagination.”

Baraje said the allegation by Akande that a purported meeting took place in his (Baraje’s) house after the general elections, where “a so-called new PDP group plotted with a view to hijacking the National Assembly…with an ultimate aim of resuscitating the PDP as their future political platform” was a mere fabrication.

Our correspondents learnt that renewed peace moves were being made in the party and that the party leaders were hoping that they would before Friday achieve an atmosphere conducive to holding the APC NEC meeting.

The APC NEC meeting was shifted from Tuesday (yesterday) to Friday to enable party leaders to engage in further consultations.

A top member of the APC National Working Committee, who did not want his name mentioned, said that the meeting was postponed to allow tempers to go down.

“All leaders are in touch with one another and I can assure you that the crisis will be resolved on Friday,” the party source said.

However, the Deputy Senate Leader, Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah, himself a northerner, had defended Akande on Monday. Na’Allah said Akande must have been misquoted.

The senator said, “Chief Bisi Akande is a highly respected senior member of this country and I am not so sure he had not been misquoted on that issue. Even where it exists, I am absolutely sure that it cannot be the correct statement on the situation.

“The North holds every section of this country high; we detest the idea of even labelling us as North because we have passed that stage with the current development in our country.

“We are a united country whether we like it or not with some few interests being defined at different levels of our governance but as far as Nigeria is concerned, I don’t want to believe that there is any conspiracy.

“If there is any conspiracy on the part of the North, what made you think that the conspiracy will involve bringing somebody from the Peoples Democratic Party and from the South-East to become the deputy senate president?”

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr. Timi Frank, on Tuesday, confirmed that the party’s National Executive Committee would meet in Abuja on Friday to thrash out all issues affecting the party.

“We are holding our NEC meeting on Friday and I am sure all our issues will be thrashed out and the party will come out stronger,” Frank said.

donphilopus:
If Dickson gets his party's ticket, Mama Piss' allies are gonna work for another party (anti-party). So how do you expect him to win? I guess you ain't forgotten that APC came second in the rescheduled HoA Election in Bayelsa?!

Aigbofa:
God bless you.
We wanted an administrator but what we got is an entertainer.

NgeneUkwenu:
Governor Fayose has been without commissioners for the past 8 months. What has the PDP said about it?” Nothing!

Hypocrites!

Demdem:
There is absolutely nothing wrong if the FG deemed it fit in her wisdom to keep those criminals in any part of the country within her facility.
If ibos would want FG intervention on second Niger Bridge, why not take care of FG children? Its within the laws of the land, nothing is illegal here.

NgeneUkwenu:
This is exactly what I have been canvassing for! Nigerians need change in their standard of living, and anyhow Buhari goes about it, is none of their business!

Get Saraki out of the way now for the unity of the Party, Nigeria and the change we voted for.

Rilwayne001:
I can confidently say that, this Bukola Saraki dude is dead politically in this country. Even if he should defect to PDP, I trust PDP will never for once trust him in his dealings.

nicedk:
I can only refers to most of your comment as a xenophobic comment, Aregbesola is the governor of Osun, they did not born one million of that bastard judge to remove him. When that idiot that call himself Jonathan was cutting his allocation in order to make things dificult for him , you hypocrite did not talk. You people should leave Aregbe alone some other governors were owning one year plus.
