APC should not give room for finished PDP

CHESSBOARD:
YES they are called LAGOS APC... thats what they are, LOCAL CHAMPIONS, TINUBU LAGOS LOCAL CHAMPION... this is Nigeria not Lagos, maybe Oba should tell SARAKi that he will die in River Niger not lagoon

omenka:
Good evening all.

This thread isn't created to spite any one or any people. It is just a wake up call to majority Nigerians, who happen to be very poor at remembering events of history and how they are meant to shape our thought processes and indeed orientation.

Now, very interesting events happened in the last 24 hours in our National Legislative Chambers. Both chambers were inaugurated and their leadership elected. APC being the dominant party clinched the top spots in both chambers, but as we all know, PDP and her supporters seem to be the most jubilant party over the outcome of the elections, why, one might be tempted to ask.

In the run up to the general elections, Saraki whom PDP supported doggedly in the just concluded NASS election, was hounded by the same party, threatened with all manner of sanctions that eventually culminated in his exit from the party. His rift with the party (PDP) and the presidency back then, began with his blowing the lid on what has come to be known as the biggest heist in the nation's history- the Subsidy Scam- which ran into tens of billions of dollars. He was buffeted from all sides with all manner of allegations and barely survived having himself locked up in jail. He eventually found a sanctuary in the opposition, now the ruling party.

Now, inexplicably, the same party that threw everything but the kitchen sink at this recalcitrant and rebellious congressman sees him as a valiant, their knight in shining armour. Wonders huh? Well they voted for him in the absence of half of the members of the Senate as the Senate president, case closed., and for what?- just to spite the opposition, maybe, and to have their man as the Deputy.

In the Green Chamber, Dagora emerged the Speaker. I know quite little about him, but nevertheless, that is immaterial to the crux of this piece.

Here's what my problem is: during the electioneering campaigns, Nigerians/electorates were subjected to all manner of divisive and potentially catastrophic propaganda from the PDP. To mention a few, we saw things like-

1. Buhari is too old to be a leader.

2. Buhari is a terrorist sponsor.

3. Buhari has fossilised ideas and cannot lead a 21st century country effectively.

4. Buhari has prostate cancer and might die soon.

5. Buhari's candidacy is a product Northern conspiracy for National domination.

6. Buhari is "tribalistic".

7. The Northerners suffer from a "Born to Rule Syndrome".

8. APC is a party akin to the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. It is dominated by Muslims and Northerners.

And others too numerous to mention.

Numbers 5-8 are my major concern.

Most of the points listed above were propagated and hammered on by same people who are jubilant over the emergence of Dagora and Saraki as Speaker HoR and Senate President respectively. Dagora is a Northerner, Saraki is from North Central (includes christian dominated states such as Taraba, plateau, Benue, but when the time comes, PDP will call him a "Northerner", and when you say "North", everyone thinks "Islam/Muslim). It is necessary putting this in writing because a time will come, perhaps in 2019, when PDP would want to replay that ethnic, religious, and regional cards which appears to be the only ammo in their arsenal- polarise Nigerians along these lines, have them vote based on these sentiments, and see to your retention in office!

Now, the situation we have at present shows Three of the Top Four Positions are occupied by "Northerners" but PDP is happy about it and apparently has no qualms whatsoever with the arrangement.

I have always been against all that North, South, East, West, Muslim, Christian, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo politicking. It has never and will never be the panacea to Nigeria's innumerable problems. Have always been pro Nigeria and would always support whoever it is that gets into an office as far as their competence isn't in doubt.

Without the support of PDP, what happened today wouldn't have happened, so we would hold them to account when the time comes, and remind them of their lofty stance at this time.

The events of today should effectively put to rest all that ethnoreligious politicking that PDP is known for.

We look forward to a very productive National Assembly.

Congrats to Saraki.

Congrats to Dagora.


God Bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

If Ahmed Lawan really wanted to be Senate President and he had 51 APC members on his side, what stopped him from showing up and convincing four PDP members to join his camp

Okwudiri87:
tambuuwa me then l sariki u cos wht goes around comes around. Just watching.

TRADEMARK:
I am Yoruba from Osun State ,but am extremely excited for the outcome of the exercise,am even praying and hoping the useless Lasun Yusuf doesn't clinch the Deputy Speakership .we can't afford to have the hypocritical Apc (Nigeria's Muslim Brotherhood) at the helms of affairs of the nation ,especially the frog eye Tinubu that has plunged my state into political misery .This current tide indicate God has not abandoned us in Nigeria ,Tinubu can now weep his Igbo eyes out and jump in the lagoon

usba:
Just got this from good authority that PDP has requested the immediate return of all Innjoo phones in the possession of TANiods, the directive maybe unconnected with the rapid depletion of PDP funds and the escalating cost of maintainig keyboard warriors.

Most TANiods have refused to return the phones saying that is their only gain from the government of Jonathan. It remains to be seen the next actions PDP might undertake.

desmondDessi:
Lolz.....Burn the sch,even the ministry sef.

CountDracula:
50million dollars?
For 50million naira, I will burn it, burn it and re-burn it, if there are still ashes, I wil burn d ashes and burn the ashes of d ashes

doctokwus:
Still goes to confirm the gradual decimation of PDP in d state.Remember,no one would have dared cancel talkless defeat a PDP candidate in bayelsa just a few months back.
I honestly don't see Dickson under PDP returning to that seat.

doctokwus:
Its very funny how people are berating APC for coming 2nd in an election where the candidate of the ruling party in the state came 3rd!
The tragedy and news here should be the fact that in the former president's own state with his party ruling,the PDP is gradually being decimated by 2 relatively new parties in APGA and APC!

doctokwus:
That's harsh and going to the extreme.
U do not agree with the primaries conducted and have the right to contest or have your candidate nominated for the main contest,but not calling d party fraudulent.
Guess this was d kind of embarrassment that PMB forsaw and was trying to avoid that made him to hands off interfering.
Tinubu too should come to terms with the fact that at the national stage,there is a limit to which you can dictate things;this is not Lagos state or the southwest.
They should just allow them slug it out on Tuesday but ensure APC takes d leadership positions,than allow this mudslinging to continue.

Mogidi:
Fraud is another name for APC.

Idrismusty97:
They are just venting out their frustration of losing the election... Leave them. The insults doesn't mean anything, i don't think it is proper to threatened them. It isn't as if he is a failure like GEJ, even them know their jabs threw at buhari isn't because of his performance just revenge. You throw insults at him, the international community throw praises at him. Who is the fool and brainless dullard?

cramjones:
Even after I clearly warned that this must stop you have the effrontery to call a sitting President of the largest economy in Africa, a brainless dullard? I can get the moderators of this site to ban you forever. Again, I repeat this must stop! Freedom of speech sure has its limits! You are crossing the line because you think you are "anonymous"? Again, stop this!

Ariel20:
This thread is unnecessary cos it would spite the TANOIDS to do more.
I still maintain that we cannot have a President as clueless as GEJ
Clueless., Fedora hat wearing fisherman.
