Which youth? with the kinds of posts I read from most Nigerian youth on nairaland, it is evident that the youth stands nowhere and no chance. Let them continue to book spaces and hurl insults and abuses on nairaland.

The youth may have a shot at being involved in nigerian politics when they stop bothering themselves about the massive clivage of Halima Abubakar and Tonto Dike's g-strings.
They have to start with making inteligent statements, not 'GEJ my hero, Fayose my role model' kind of slogan that bothers on stupidity and insanity.

Muhammadu Buhari Legacy Foundation, a group, on Saturday urged Senators-elect to elect Sen. Bukola Saraki as the President of the Senate for the 8th National Assembly.
This is contained in a statement signed by the Coordinator of the North Central Zone of the association, Mr Bode Towoju, and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.
NAN reports that the next National Assembly will be inaugurated on June 4.
The statement said Saraki had the necessary skills and intellectual capacity to pilot the affairs of both the Senate and the National Assembly.
According to the statement, Saraki will help to stabilise the parliament for efficient and effective performance.
It said that Saraki’s leadership was needed at this critical time when the country was yearning for true independence of the legislature.
“We are soliciting the cooperation of all Senators-elect and the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to ensure the emergence of the former Kwara State Governor as the President of the Senate.
“Saraki will not be a rubber stamp President of the Senate where no robust debate will be allowed.
“Saraki has got all the nationalistic qualities and cognate experience to be trusted with the position,’’ it said.
It said that the country also needed a President of the Senate that would stabilise the country without undue confrontation with the President.
On the victory of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari in the March 28, presidential election, the group called on all Nigerians, irrespective of their political leanings, to support him to move the country forward.
The statement urged the President-elect to brace up for the challenges of governance, adding that the citizenry reposed much confidence in his ability to deliver true dividends of democracy.
It said the people had yearned for quality political leadership to ensure transparency and good governance.
“Nigerians have found those qualities in Buhari and therefore, the President-elect must not disappoint the people,’’ the statement said.

Let me try to write a few lines about barcanista assuming that he gets a political appointment someday.

Barcanista, Member ABC Inauguration Committee

This is a man who can best be described as the worst political prostitute known to man in the history of Nigerian politics. He is known for jumping from one party to another. In a space of two and a half years, he has switched party twice. He was first a member of PDP and he defended the party with all his strength against the progressives of this forum.

When he "saw reasons" to know that the GEJ-led PDP was a total failure and the party was doomed such that Nigeria can only get grounded the way it was being run by PDP, barcanista not only defected to APC, he took PDP to the cleaners exposing a lot of atrocities of the party. Such was his critism of GEJ and his praise singing of APC's candidate that some who were previously considered die hard supporters of PDP equally defected to APC.

However, a drama occurred few weeks to the presidential election that revealed this political prostitute of our time as a man lacking in principle, credibility and integrity. Confirmed reports have it that he sought for "protection" from APC for his efforts, stating that he may have no choice than to quit supporting the party if his request was not met.

After few weeks of APC's failure to meet his demand, to the bewilderment of forum members, this unprincipled man announced his defection back to the party he had destroyed with his ferocious attacks. Expectedly not many were unsurprised by this show of shame and investigations were conducted by concerned members of APC which revealed that he got a promise of a political appointment should PDP win the election.

Few weeks after his defection back to PDP, his political career was dealt a crushing blow when the opposition candidate won the presidential election conducted on March 28, 2015.

As a result, Barcanista vowed privately and openly to criticize and attack every move of the People's General however such move appears. Thus he has since created threads after threads to do as he promised even though the president-elect has not assumed the mantle of leadership.

Going by the foregoing, the man Barcanista is not fit to be considered for any future political appointment be it ceremonial or otherwise.

Yours truly,
PassingShot.

Let me state that no amount of "bullying" or insult will deter me from doing the patriotic duty of holding our leaders accountable and bring their records to justice. Nigerians voted for "change", we won't accept any form of shortchange...

I have said it all guy. Buhari and apc are on the hot seat already. That's what it takes to be a leader. A situation where blind party or personality followers are quick to term genuine observers as haters simply because they are looking at issues and analyzing them not minding who it favours and who it disfavours, is already sickening.

Buhari might not have taken over but you and I know that he is the most popular nigerian for now. And the man whom the fate of 170million of us has been bestowed on. And so our minds body & soul are all focused on everything he does. And I mean everything. The good old saying insisted that 'uneasy lies the head that wears the crown'

jaybee3:
Please explain how exactly they are coming on board with the might of social media?

Y'all can start criticising buhari from May the 29th

Buhari himself knows the biggest critics will be from his own party.

He is under no illusion that he must deliver period!

here you go => https://www.nairaland.com/2273224/silva-anyim-head-buharis-inauguration#33026162

" To ensure a smooth transition of government on May 29, the former Bayelsa State Governor, Timipre Silva and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, will co-chair the 2015 Presidential Inauguration Planning Committee (PIPC).
At a joint briefing by the co-chairmen in the Banquet Hall of the State House, Abuja, on Thursday, Anyim, said the briefing was to present the programme of the 2015 Presidential inauguration to the public.

He also told State House correspondents that the committee was meeting for the second time.
He said: “There are two parallel transition committee and inauguration committee. Two parallel transition committees work independent of each other but to interface at a point.”

“Inauguration committee is structured to be joint committee of the present administration and incoming administration and is chaired by Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim for the present administration and former governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva for the incoming administration.” "

lazsnaira:
I just want to add that while it is our right to support whomsoever we deemed fit but making the followership of buhari into a cult is rather a dangerous trend that is beginning to make it impossible for anyone to say anything about buhari except praise singing.

It is rather a pathetic situation that must be as a matter of urgency jettison by every reasonable supporter of apc or buhari or both as the case may be.

Take it or leave it buhari and apc will come under the radar and they would sweat like every other ruler and ruling party. They would be subject to criticisms and abuse. So the earlier we all understand that the better.

doctokwus:
Its people that wanted to misconstrue it:eternal haters and people filled with "bad bellyism",having lost all with d fisherman.
I feel that post maybe d highest Sylva will get,but even if he gets something higher,it doesn't stop Jim from being prosecuted or would GMB interfere on his behalf if sufficient evidence is brought to show embezzlement of public funds.
Let them keep on hating while GMB keeps on confounding them all and strategizing on how to move the nation forward.

jaybee3:
They clearly stated that the committee headed by Timipriye Silva was the Inauguration Committee

I honestly don't know how ya'll got that misconstrued

lolzzzz

Even if Buhari does not retain any minister that worked with GMB, he will continue most of the programmes of this administration.

They knew that GEJ‘s administration are really working but for the sake of wanting to be in Aso Rock, they were saying he was doing nothing.

Soon all of us will hear GMB tell us that he will continue with GEJ‘s policy on:
1. Agriculture
2. Transport
3. Work
4. Petroluem etc

ShowYourCertificate:
These journalists are just showing their bias for the world to see. How do they expect there to be a power vacuum by May 29? BTW I thought this incoming government will not recognise the office of the first lady. So what's the fuss all about? Bunch of hypocrites!

jusRadical:
APC has no shame at all. So they see no other persons to consider for SFG except the abysmally corrupt duo of Onu and Amechi?


Onu 'raped' Abia when he was the gov 1992-1993. I still remember his works minister then; Obasi Odefa. Onu and his group stole Abia dry.

May the GOOD LORD save this nation.

NeilOssai:
So now its possible for an Opposition to 'HEAD' the Assembly?? But wen Tambuwal Defected they said an Opposition cant 'HEAD' the assembly.,...,PDPppp.......Party of Hypocrites!!!!!!!!
