How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals

AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.

Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.

The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.

In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.

He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.

Who are them the real enemies of the Yorubas if I may ask? Chief S. L. Akintola of blessed memory or the current Political players in the Region? Judge for yourself!!!

Redoil:
Our founding heroes and heroines—Herbert Macaulay, Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Margaret Ekpo, Anthony Enahoro, Ladoke Akintola, Michael Okpara, Aminu Kano, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, and other nationalists—believed it was Nigeria's manifest destiny to lead the entire black race as the largest black nation on earth. this people are crying bitterly in their graves especially
.
1. Chief Obafemi Awolowo who gave most of our current leaders free and best education up to Msc degree to avoid miscreant and Agbero both online and offline
2. Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti who fought for women to make sure their voices were heard loud and clear

Let's call a spade a spade & be critical critic of a critical situations l, some of the people mentioned above were actually responsible for the current woes that the country is experiencing thru their actions & inactions!!!. Had they seem beyond their myopic thoughts, they could have formed a Govt of National Unity in 1959 at least at the Centre immediately after the Federal Election that none of the then Political Parties outrightly won. But rather it was North for the Northerners, East for the Easterners & West for the Westerners. That's to me was a costly mistake. Beside, had the January 1966 Military Coup not be one sided, there wouldn't have been the July 1966 Counter Coup & the Nigerian Civil war could have been avoided. For me l,once the seed of discord had been sewn, it was impossible to correct hence the series of calamities that vefell the country since then. Today, Nigeria is at the Crossroads whether we like it or not. China got her Independence about the same time like Nigeria, can we even compare it's development with that of Nigeria. It's like comparing Death with Sleep!!!. Honestly speaking, I can't see any light at the end of the tunnel bc the tunnel is still very, very dark !!!. The solution to me is to first of all get back to full Regionalism & insert peaceful Session Clause in our Constitution. Thereafter, any part or section of the country that still wishes to secede should be allowed to go thru proper Referendum. The formal USSR & some other Nations did so peacefully. So, why can't Nigeria do the same if need be (God forbid anyway)!!!. I come in peace ooooo?!!

Who actually need this type of useless speech from the so called Progressives & opportunities. You had the best chance to make the country great but you all were playing politics with our lives & the lives of our yet unborn children. Are you - your family experiencing the hard economic situations in the country as the common man is currently doing? I beg, pack for obe side make I no insult you pls

Bill Maher claims slaughter of Christians in Nigeria is being ignored because 'the Jews aren't involved'


"

Fox news

Thanks a lot for bringing this to the Global World attention. But the question remains: What are the Christians in Nigeria equally doing about this? We have Mega churches here & there; Christian Presidents, Vice Presidents, Senators, MPs, Governors etc. Yet they are all complacent waiting for the miracles from heaven. If Jews had waited, would Hamas know that they have crossed their boundary for killing Jews during their Holy Week on Oct 7? I come in peace though!!!

Zionmdde:
The injustice will sha reach everybody
A Nigerian employed Indians to be treating his fellow country people like thrash and people are here supporting it. Ask the working conditions of dangote's staff, nothing to write home about. No job security, no good insurance scheme

Now he doesn't also want them to join Union so Union will not start demanding that he treats his workers will

No wahala, the lawlessness and wickedness in this country will still reach everybody

Oga no be by force for them to work in that Coy. They could go & start their own businesses if they like. No one is unduly supporting DF in this matter. Beside, what are the benefits from these so called Unions to the Nation. The FG once bought serries of Vehicles for them to run cheap Transport business for their members. Where are those vehicles today? They have been ran a ground which means they can't even manage simple businesses . But they can only be shouting on their employers & just making names for themselves.
We've seen one of their top members that rose to govern a State. What's his achievements while there if I may ask?

Why is Sowore picking fight with everyone? What is he intend to achieve with such behavior.

Are you normal at all? I don't think so. Just imagine what $2M can do in the lives of average Riverian's yet being picketed by an individual.

zero8zero:
What is this one talking?, always rushing the first to comment to spit a can of gibberish. If someone registered a party, must you then be the founder, the Chairman and at the same time, the Presidential candidate all the time?. And the same person is always puffing about democracy. Then, let Obi do the same, let him go register his own party and make himself the Chairman and the presidential candidate, you this mob enh, as long as anything is against the Govt , una must support, even if it doesn't make sense.

Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Dr Nnamndi Azikwe, Mallam Aminu Kano, Tunji Braitwaite, Alhaji Waziri all of blessed memory were Chairmen & Presidential candidates of their Political parties at one time or the other. Just for your edification. I come in peace though!!!

SaharaReporters learnt that Elton died on Saturday at Sharon compound, Alafia Bamin Quarters in Ilesa, Osun State.

RIP Ma, you reminded today the lives of other Christian Missionaries mostly of Baptist Denomination that I am familiar with as well as other Denominations that had toiled in this part of the World & had gone to be with the Lord Jesus Christ. May their kind Souls continue to Rest In Peace. Amen.

DoctorStanley:
Quite obvious I'd say.
Only thing that'll prevent Tinubu 2nd term is death or coup

No be death not Coup Na mass Revolution self? Continue day dreaming ooooo!. Better braze up for hard time to come

lagonovo:
Looks like the key issue has been tactically resolved as was done in the widely circulated clash of the titans in 1991. I just saw this post:

"The latest title as announced by the man to be conferred, Dotun Sanusi shows clearly Okanlomo Odua. The man Jubril Dotun Sanusi wrote that clearly on his Facebook account 12hrs ago, only for Bode Durojaiye to rush to his page 6hrs after and start warning on behalf of the king with lies of "Yorubaland" usage. Anyone can search these posts which I will put in comment box."

The implication is that this title in question is Okanlomo Odua of Ile-Ife and never of Yorubaland.

Lobatan ooo. In actual fact it should have been. ...... Okanlomo of the Source ... like the one bestowed on Dr Odili of Rivers State.

This to me is bourgeois.mentality which I doubt can prevent future occurrences. A man obstructed a plane from taking off after pouring certain liquid on the Pilot & an Airport Security Staff simply bc he knows Mr President & is now to be made Airport Ambassador in the 21st Century while the Pilot & her Co Officer are to undergo social/behavioural trainings!!!? Habba !!! What a joke of a country.
Anyway, the Bible says....When the righteous rules, the people rejoice........ Lobatan , Sefini, Odiegwu, magana ya kare etc. I come in peace ooooo.

CaptainFM1:
What I see is unprofessionalism in the entire aviation industry.

What the pilot should have done is to call the airport security next time to evacuate him from the flight and around the vicinity of the plane.

Which yeye Airport Security are you talking about? No be the same body just released him within few minutes probably bc of an order from above?
Look for me, if he had been killed that day,na Sara be that!!! Na madness dey take cure madness joor.
Beside, I expect that the pilot's association should have waded into the matter by now bc an Injustice to one should be an Injustice to others otherwise more lunatics like K1 would do more than that another time!!!.

me,the Pilot & his/her partner are very, very right & should not have been punished at all bc if they didn't do so, the said flight could have been further delayed & some of the passengers could have missed their schedules. Beside, na madness one takes to cure madness otherwise this matter could have been swept under the carpet The Youruba would say.....Were ni eniyan fi wo were!!!

LagosOrigin:
Do we still have president in this country or he has abandoned his job to monitor every move that Peter Obi makes while the country is being burnt to the ground by terrorists

Has tinubu forgotten his role as president

You guys should be waiting for PBAT to come & solve the problem that the North unilaterally created for the Country. Remember PMB infamous saying that .. a fight against Boko Haram, is a fight against the North...That was when Goodluck Jonathan was making serious efforts to eliminate that terrorist group.
Beside, APC brought more terrorists into the country in 2014 according to one of its stalwart apart from El Rufai

You guys usually mention the 1983 or so Mass Deportation of Ghanians from Nigeria. What about Ghana mass deportation of Nigerians-mostly Yorubas in 1969 during the Civil war leaving SE Citizens to stay there then. Let's us to be critical critics of critical situations. If the country is good m, would most citizens ve running to other countries with even less resources? Food for thought for everyone.

After leaving his village with a BSc in Banking and Finance, Ola built a solid career in the banking and insurance sector. However, fate had other plans he felt I'll and lost his job. With a passion for hospitality, he's now desperate for a job as a hotel manager or club manager to make ends meet.

Despite his best efforts, Ola struggles to find employment in his desired field. Bills pile up, and he's on the brink of eviction in just two months. His story is a heartbreaking reminder of the challenges many face in finding stable employment.

If you know of any hospitality job opportunities or can offer support, please consider Ola's plea. You can reach him at +234 816 631 8828.

Let's come together to help Ola get back on his feet.

Oga, does your friend think Hospitality Industry is just for Tom & Harry without prior back ground in the field?

Always think while you are typing on public platforms.

Both Ndume and the presidency are playing politics. Otherwise they will support their position with facts. For example provide spreadsheet of all the president's appointment along with their state of origin.
