Everytime I see Buhari with any of these people, I laugh for his integrity.

Lets hope they have enough crowd today.

sarrki:
You are right

Pdp is assembly of looters

Well Sarrki, next time, don't quote me to say nonsense. Hypocrite.

Skengman:
My family is very good with the people of Oyigbo, and I tell u one thing, the imposition of Gerald Oforji on the good people of Oyigbo didn’t go down well as it was supposed to be rotated to another constituency.

So you believe that Oyigbo will vote for Buhari and Apc?
Lol, only if your family friend has told you that Oyigbo is the headquarter of IPOB in Rivers state.

They may not like Wike, but will never vote Apc.

Who knew Ditan or whatever his name is, in PDP?
Arrant nonesense.

To those saying Kwakwanso doesn't campaign with Atiku's photo.
Please look at this picture very well.

Follow him on twitter and watch his campaign videos, so ypu won't be surprised.

chozzy:
Akbabio is only influential
in Akwa Ibom State

Akpabio is only influential in Annang.

He uses cash gifts and cars to entice his followers, and forces them to swear never to betray him.

He will be shocked on 16th Free-buhari.

And this one claims to be a pastor.

You were abroad when Magnus Abe was shot with rubber bullet because he followed Amaechi.

He humbly stepped down for Dakuku because of Amaechi.

Now that he's supposed to be a candidate the same Amaechi brings this Agbaya from wherever, and asks Magnus to step down again.

What insolence.

Apparently, Henry Shield decided to stop supporting PDP because of the continued incarceration of Deji Adeyanju.

He made this known in a tweet, after other PDP personalities reached out to him.

Lol, going strong by disturbing us every now and then with their APC chants. One vehicle with loud speaker screaming APC, APC, APC all around town.

Lol, APC are jittery. Umahi has categorically told you guys that he's not with you.

He only borrowed you 2000 people not to embarrass the president.

Seems like they rode into Onitsha from Asaba.
Good, if they actually did that.



Happy New Month. Welcome to FreeBuhari

adekolaelect:

I couldn't read what you typed. Try using punctuation and try again.

Well Agbaje's Campaign has been effective so far.

I heard some people want to impeach one "governatorial" for refusing to gibe them 45 billion from state coffers for election.

Says Faction That Endorsed Buhari Are Historical Renegades.


The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, has distanced itself from media reports that it has endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election bid.

The group denounced the endorsement in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Wednesday, saying those involved in the endorsement – Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, Chief Ayo Fasanmi and Senator Olabiyi Durojaye — were not members of the group.

A statement made available by Yinka Odumakin, the group's National Publicity Secretary, referred to those involved as historical renegades.

The statement read: “We ordinarily would not respond to a gathering of historical renegades but for the sake of the unwary who may have been confused by the nefarious action of these impostors.

“We say without equivocation that minus Senator Ayo Fasanmi, who had a past connection with Afenifere till 2003, and Senator Olabiyi Durojaye, who is presently an employee of Buhari, all the others at the summit including Prof Yemi Osinbajo have never been known in Afenifere.

“If these are Afenifere, they would never have gathered for Buhari’s endorsement in any part of Yorubaland on a day the Nigerian Tribune, the legacy of Obafemi Awolowo who is the founder of Afenifere, was being relaunched.”

Odumakin berated Osinbajo for being absent from the activities held to mark the late sage’s remembrance activities, despite being married to Awolowo’s grand-daughter.

He added: “The godfather of this fake group is, of course, Bola Tinubu who was made governor by Afenifere in 1999, when his real character was not known.

“We tell the Tinubu followers that we don’t deny them the right to support Buhari. If they call themselves South-West Miyetti Allah, it worries us not. They should only stop the fraudulent claim to Afenifere.”

fibiyaks:
mr Atiku has done nothing to better the life of the common man.no charity, no humanitarian projects or programs that helps the common man.he is selfish and greedy that is the reason why he wants to become the president. He doesn't deserve our votes.

You think Atiku is Buhari?
If you haven't heard of Atiku Care foundation sponsoring treatments all across the country. Then you must be in a cave.

Also, Atiku gives outt scholarship to his university. The rescued chibok girls went there.

Please tell me one humanitarian effort Buhari has made.

So you don't know Inec has rejected the Original PDP list for Ogun state based on the same court order?

You don't know Inec refused to changed PDP candidate for Kwara senatorial?

Haba, try to read.

Ategberoson:



Atiku is a seasonal lair so sane Nigerians aren't surprise and obi on the other side is a consistent exaggerator but an inconsistent lair


obi lie and redefined his lies whenever he's about to shoot himself at the foot. Atiku on the other hand would rather deny all obvious allegations against him and his families just to look saint in the face of Nigerians

Says the boy supporting someone who can't make a coherent statement.

If you believe they lied, counter them with facts and stop blabbing like baby Chucky.

Funny how Apc goons went quiet all through the debate and gathered on Dele's timeline.

They can't even say for real why they are supporting Buhari.

There have been lots of photos flowing around.
Here's photo of when Buhari arrived The Aba stadium.

Lol, this is Buhari arriving the stadium.

izzou:


No matter how much we hate Buhari, let's not forget the fact that a Chief Judge has billions of naira in his account that he supposedly forgot to declare?

Why is no one talking about this?

Conclusion: Nigeria can never be better.

Then allow him to explain how he got it to a court.
What is the difference between what Buhari did and those people who killed the Allu 4 boys for suspecting they were thieves?

Can the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Mohammed, who was a critical member of the National Judicial Council, which sanctioned Justice Obisike Orji by forcing him to go on a compulsory retirement for allowing himself to be sworn in as the Acting Chief Judge of Abia State without being recommended by the council, head the judiciary? Davidson Iriekpen asks

A story was once told that when Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State in 2012 failed in his bid to foist Justice Joseph Oyewole on the judiciary as Chief Judge, he settled for Justice Gloria Oladoke instead of Justice Oyebola Ojo.

Investigation revealed that at the meeting of the National Judicial Council (NJC) as Justice Oladoke introduced herself as the acting Chief Judge of Osun State, below was the response she got from the then Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) and Chairman of the NJC, Justice Mariam Aloma Mukhtar: “Who invited you here? You don’t belong here. Please excuse us. Get out!”



THISDAY gathered that it took this decision by the NJC for Governor Aregbesola to know that he should follow the rule by appointing the most senior judge of the state.

In Rivers State, a few years after, Justice Peter Agumagu, who was appointed Chief Judge by Governor Chibuike Amaechi was rejected by the NJC equally headed by Justice Mukhtar. The NJC had directed that Justice Daisy Okocha be sworn in as Chief Judge of the state, a decision Amaechi refused to comply with.

The NJC consequently queried and suspended Justice Agumagu as a judicial officer by the NJC for allegedly violating Section 271(1) of the constitution by submitting himself for confirmation by the state House of Assembly and swearing-in by the governor as the state’s substantive Chief Judge without being recommended by the council.
The body claimed it acted pursuant to paragraph 21(d) of Part 1 of the Third Schedule to the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as amended.


The most recent was on March 14, 2018, when the council at its 85th meeting under the chairmanship of Justice Walter Onnoghen, declared the suspension of the Chief Judge of Abia State Justice T. U. Uzokwe, by Governor Okezie Ikpeazu as unconstitutional.

It also sanctioned Justice Obisike Orji, by forcing him to go on a compulsory retirement for allowing himself to be sworn in as the Acting Chief Judge of Abia State without being recommended by the council. It stressed that the decision to suspend the chief judge and the swearing-in of an acting chief judge without the input of the NJC was unconstitutional, null and void.


The NJC statement then said: “The suspension of the Chief Judge of Abia State (Justice Theresa Uzokwe) by the State House of Assembly without a prior recommendation by the National Judicial Council violates the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“Consequently, the subsequent act of appointing and swearing-in of Justice Obisike Orji as the Acting Chief Judge is invalid for being unconstitutional. Furthermore, the conduct of Justice Obisike Orji in presenting himself to be sworn in raises potential questions of misconduct that Council is now looking into. Council therefore resolved to query and suspend Hon. Mr. Justice Obisike Orji pending the outcome of its investigation.”

The above carefully demonstrates the importance the NJC attaches to the adherence to the constitution and due process. But all these were shattered on Friday when President Muhammadu Buhari unilaterally suspended Onnoghen and promptly swore in Justice Tanko Mohammed.

Though the president defended his action by citing an order from the Code of Conduct Tribunal, directing Onnoghen’s suspension, his action has been described by a cross section of lawyers and others as a judicial coup.



Onnoghen’s travails first began in 2016, when the president refused to confirm his elevation as the CJN. But as fate would have it, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, who was then the Acting President, swore him into office when the president was away on medical vacation.

About six months after he took office, there were rumours that he was being investigated, but each time the rumour came, the agencies accused would deny it. However, on January 7, a civil society group, the Anti-Corruption and Research Based Data Initiative, filed a petition with the Code of Conduct Bureau, accusing him of corruption and false declaration of assets.

A six-count charge was drafted at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT). Initially the presidency denied having anything to do with his arraignment. In spite of the criticisms that the move against Onnoghen did not follow laid-down rules, the trial proceeded with unusual speed.


Last Thursday, the Court of Appeal in Abuja, in its ruling, ordered the CCT to stay action, pending the determination of Onnoghen’s application that the CCT had no power to try him.

But while Nigerians were waiting for the ruling, the president on Friday confirmed the fears that it was indeed behind the travail of the embattled CJN by proceeding with his suspension and the swearing-in of the Justice Mohammed in acting capacity.

The question begging for answers from observers is, should Mohammed have taken the position, when as a critical member of the NJC, he was part of the decision that forced Justice Orji to go on compulsory retirement for allowing himself to be sworn in as the Acting Chief Judge of Abia State?

They reasoned that both the suspension of Onnoghen and swearing-in of Muhammed in acting capacity by President Buhari followed the same pattern of how Justice Theresa Uzokwe was suspended by the Abia State House of Assembly and Justice Orji subsequently sworn in as acting Chief Judge of the state by Governor Ikpeazu.

Much has been said about Onnoghen & Salami, but what hasn't been said is the factual truth about Salami's 2011 suspension, then removal. You hear: "PMB suspended Onnoghen, so what? GEJ also removed Salami". Let's separate wheat from chaff. Let's go >>> Issa thread》》》
Trouble started for the then straight shooting President of the Court of Appeal Justice Salami late first quarter of 2011. There was a background read to background at the time: politics. I'll return to it las las

Justice Salami was promoted to the Supreme Court, which he publicly refused. Many Nigerians wondered why a judge would refuse promotion to the Supreme Court- dream of all judges

He refused and subsequently alleged that he was being punished by CJN Katsina-Alu because he refused his request to pervert justice in a case involving two heavy weights in Sokoto- Matagakarda and Bafarawa

There was bedlam. The second highest serving judicial officer accusing the top gun of corruption. Nigeria became divided: pro-Salami v Pro- Katsina-Alu; PDP v AC(later ACN)

The bench was dragging itself on the political mud. NJC stepped in and appointed a panel to investigate the allegation of perversion of justice made by Justice Salami and sundry allegations of corruption made against Justice Salami

There were allegations of justice tampering in the governorship elections petitions of Ekiti and Osun states. Salami adversaries swore he took bribes to award both states to the opposition AC/ACN

The NJC investigation panel who was headed by the then Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Auta- the judge who sentenced Saro-Wiwa to death. The panel went to work. Justice Salami headed to court.

Before court papers and processes were settled, the panel submitted its report:
1) found the allegation of corruption made against Justice Salami untrue;
2) quashed Salami's promotion to the Supreme Court.
3) Held that Justice Salami lied against CJN Katsina-Alu; 4) Ordered that Justice Salami should apologize to CJN Katsina-Alu.


Justice Salami refused to render an apology and public said he wouldn't. At the Emergency Meeting of the NJC August 2011, the NJC suspended Justice Salami pursuant to what it says is its power under section 21 of 3rd schedule of the constitution

NJC relied on its powers to exercise disciplinary control over judges, suspension being a disciplinary procedure or power, outside the power to recommend removal of judicial officers to the President.

Further, NJC recommended the removal of Justice Salami to the President, who acted on the recommendation without delay kia kia. Meanwhile, Salami was still in court.


As it is today, questions were asked about the speed of action of the government, the then AGF Adoke pointed to the decision of the NJC and that the President was duty-bound to accept and execute the decision. Justice Salami's fate was sealed.

Adoke further told the media, quoting an unreported 2009 FHC Abuja judgment in Alimi v AGF that suspension comes within the disciplinary powers, that the NJC acted constitutionally, without government's interference.

However 8 months later, the NJC revisited Justice Salami's issue and by 11 to 7 votes recommended that Justice Salami should be reinstated.
Another round of legal debate ensued. An Abuja-based lawyer, Nzebu went to court to challenge the recommendation of the NJC, arguing that there's no provision in the constitution that allows for reinstatement after removal.

That when the NJC disposed off the issue in August 2011, it was no longer constitutionally competent to revisit the issue, even if its earlier decision was perverse. The AGF appeared to have sided with the legal argument

When he told the media after the FEC Meeting one Wednesday of May 2012 that the President would not be visiting Justice Salami's issue.
Political arguments continued, while conspiracy theories were woven around what happened in Ekiti and Osun states: the opposition insisted its mandates were stolen at the polls, and PDP screamed that the opposition bribed judges to claim states it won.
