APC should take oshomole to a psychiatric hospital. he is gradually running mad

True talk, Oshiomole should be chained to a mental hospital bed

National chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, has insisted that Bukola Saraki must resign as Senate President.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Roadmap 2019, Oshiomhole made it clear that if Saraki does not choose the path of honour, he will be democratically removed.

“I remain convinced that Saraki must vacate the position of Senate President as a matter of honour.

“If he does not choose the path of honour, he will be democratically removed as the President of the Senate. I am emphasising logic and political morality, plus law,” the former Edo state Governor said.

Oshiomhole added that Saraki who emerged as the Senate President on the platform of the APC, would not be allowed to “impose minority rule” in the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

He stated that the principle of democracy which dictates that the majority should spearhead leadership of the National Assembly must be followed.

The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), the research unit of The Economist Magazine, has predicted that a candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will defeat the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)’s President Muhammadu Buhari in the upcoming 2019 presidential election.

EIU stated this in its latest country forecast overview on Nigeria that was obtained yesterday by THISDAY.

The EIU, which gave an array of reasons for its prediction, said even though it would be a close call, the opposition PDP would win the election.

It predicted slowdown in economic activities in Nigeria as politics takes centre stage.

The Economist’s report came to light a day after the New Telegraph published another research report by a multinational banking and financial services company, HSBC, which said a second term for President Muhammadu Buhari would gravely stunt the economic development of the country.

Buhari is already preparing for a re-election in February 2019.

A group, Nigeria Consolidation Ambassadors Network (NCAN) had last week purchased N45.5million nomination forms for the president who remained unchallenged as at yesterday. Collection of nomination forms closes today.

The opposition PDP is also in the process of selecting its flag bearer.

With 13 aspirants picking up the N12million presidential nomination forms, the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the party yesterday set up a 12-man committee to liaise with the contestants and work out the possibility of producing a consensus candidate from among them.

The London-based magazine, which also anticipated a depreciation of the naira, said further in its assessment that Buhari was fast shedding support from within the APC with governors and lawmakers defecting to the opposition en masse.

“Intra-party politics would be chaotic ahead of the poll and we ultimately expect the incumbent to lose power,” it said.

According to the magazine, “The 2019 elections will be a close contest between the ruling APC and the PDP. We expect the PDP presidential candidate to win, but for the next administration to flounder against the same problems as the incumbent one.

“The next government is likely to be led by the PDP, the main opposition, potentially in a coalition with smaller parties, but instability will remain an insoluble challenge.

“Internally, not all ambitious politicians from the APC who have defected will be rewarded with places in the next government; or if they are, it will mean that pre-existing grandees within the PDP will have been sidelined.

“Whoever ends up feeling cheated will eventually turn on the new administration, as is happening to the APC now. There is also a unifying PDP presidential candidate, with around 16 aspirants competing for the nomination.

“A weak APC before the election and a troubled government thereafter implies that Nigeria’s manifold security threats will continue to fester.

“Parliamentary rifts will remain the main problem, and this applies no matter who is in charge, given competing priorities between representatives from different regions and the absence of a common ideology within parties.”

Continuing, it noted that policy reforms, particularly in the vital oil industry would be slow as a result of division in the political elite between advocates of tough, unpopular market reforms and those who refer pandering to nationalistic and pro-subsidy interest groups. The latter group was likely to remain in the ascendancy, it added.

According to the EIU, politicisation of economic policy would also slow reforms and at times actively decelerate economic growth.

“The Central Bank of Nigeria will not act completely independently, and the overall policy agenda will be pulled in differing directions by various powerful interest groups,” the report stated.

“Fiscal expenditure will remain dominant by recurrent spending despite attempts to boost capital investments. Efforts to boost non-oil tax revenue will be constraint by weak bureaucratic capacity and low economic growth. Constrained by a crippling infrastructure deficit, economic growth will be well beneath level needed to boost job creation and increasing living standard.

“Inflation will generally remain high over the forecast period (2018-2022) amid expansionary fiscal policy and high food prices stemming from government efforts to limit import and support local producers.

“The authorities will continue to interfere in the foreign exchange market although the degree of interference should eventually lessen with higher oil prices supporting reserves and broad economic confidence slowly improving. The naira will nonetheless depreciate over 2019-21 and be broadly stable in 2022,” the report explained.

Furthermore, the EIU held the view that Nigeria’s current account would record marginal gain over the forecasts period, saying pick-up in oil prices would be offset by recovering import demand.

The difficult business environment will restrict the development of non-oil exports, it added.

The report further pointed out that without a collective resolve, it would prove impossible to bring permanent peace to the large parts of Nigeria hit variously by an Islamist insurgency in the north, ethno-nationalism and piracy in the main oil-producing region and secessionism in the Biafra region, as well as inter-religious tensions and disputes over land access across the centre of the country.

“It will prove hard to build a more effective security apparatus while also creating economic opportunities for local populations; poverty lies at the root of much of the instability.

“Our central forecast is, however, that the 2019 elections will be completed without a widespread breakdown in stability with Nigeria’s democracy proving once again to be robust enough to endure.

“However, we expect major unrest to continue in 2020-2022 as comprehensive solutions prove too complex and costly to implement in the medium term.”

It noted that given the severe risks to stability, speculation over the threat of a military coup or a civil war was likely to surface periodically.

It stated, “That these issues are part of the popular discourse highlights the seriousness of the challenges facing Nigeria, but we consider a widespread breakdown of security to be unlikely; the military is more professional and has been depoliticised since the junta stepped aside in 1999.

“Meanwhile, there is little appetite outside more extremists’ agitators for a return to civil war, given memories of how disastrous the 1967-1970 conflict was for the country.

“Nevertheless, as the country’s leadership struggles to shift Nigeria onto a more sustainable and robust pat of economic development, the risks to stability will intensify as more and more Nigerians question what they have to lose from pushing for violent change.”

You might need a reading aid or something to aid your logical reasoning

I clearly stated that Gaduje is not a kid(novice) in kano's political spectrum by giving details of his political history, hence your notion that he will be swept away by Kwakwanso is not valid and not well informed

Don't thank me for spelling out for you,
rather blame whosoever taught you quantitative reasoning in primary school for not doing a proper job to develop your prefrontal cortex to aid logical reasoning.

U are a confused talented janja-weed gworo chewing monkey suffering from amensia and Buhari madness
Kindly Point out where the earlier post stated that Ganduje will be swept away by Kwankwaso
It is clear U are a lifeless Indomie brain zombie like ur lifeless zombie god buhari
kindly go and swallow rat poison, u are a big waste of space

PrecisionFx:



The north has done 4 years already with Buhari n has only 4 years before he hands over power to Yorubas Tiffnubu

but with Kwakwanso 8 years is in the offing.

Total of 12 years for the north.

My brother don't even bother replying that illiterate zombie that doesn't understand simple English

Iamgrey5:
Apparently, you don't know a thing about what you are talking about

Gaduje contested against Kwankwaso for the PDP primary tickets as far back as 1999 before becoming his running mate down the years.

Gaduje is not a kid in Kano's politics

I think Kwakwaso should be more worried about his senatorial seat now that his nemesis is running against him..

What valid point did u make from the thrash u just posted
