Some of the people shouting APC upandan, are also facing the hardship too but stupidity will not make them rethink properly....and they still want to continue in that stupidity...


You are complaining about hardship howbeit silently still you are praying for more hardship to continue..

It's so crazy !

globemoney:
Is that why all SE governors including Ekweremadu has abandoned Atiku with Ohanaeze now saying they have nothing to do with him. Mention any prominent Igbo supporting Atiku today. Keep fooling yourself

Who endorsement eep na?

It seems you do not really understand Nigerian Politics.... It's beyond endorsement!

rhymesnoni:
I forcee these Governors working for APC at the presidential Level, Obiano, Umahi. Thumbs up to them they are also for the next Level. Make Atiku dae Fool himself

You are not an Igbo person from your statement....you do not know the minds there.... These governors you mention are truly on their own....and that is if they are truly working for APC

joshuaakindele7:
The Anambra State Governor, Willie Obiano, has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the progress of work on the construction of the second Niger Bridge.

He said the President had done well for the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones.
Obiano stated this during an inspection visit of the project in Onitsha, Anambra State.

He expressed satisfaction with the standard and pace of work on the project.
The governor said he was confident that the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari would deliver on the job as scheduled.

He noted that the bridge, when completed, would not only boost the economic activities of the South-East and South-South but that of the country at large.

Obiano said, “I have no choice but to praise President Muhammadu Buhari for his determination in the implementation of other Federal Government’s projects in the state and other states in the geopolitical zone.”


Speaking, the Project Director of Julius Berger Construction Company, Fredrick Wieser, said the construction would be in three phases, adding that the Federal Government had made advance payment of N30bn as mobilisation fee.

According to him, the bridge will be 1.6 km long, while the access road from the Asaba axis will be 3.3 km and 7km from Anambra respectively.
Wieser said, “Right now, we are doing the foundation work in the river which will be 50 metres deep. The pilling work in the river will be 15 metres above the water level to allow free flow of ships. With the determination of the present administration, the project will be delivered on or before February 28, 2022.”

By Temidayo Akinsuyi

Prince Tony Momoh, a former Minister of Information on Thursday said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has no reason to be unhappy with Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation despite a leaked audio tape that had been trending in the media where the Minister was allegedly insulting President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking in an interview with Daily Independent, Momoh one of the national leaders of the APC said the intention of those behind the leaked audio was to undermine the presidential campaign of the APC.
While advising those releasing the tapes to find better things doing, he said APC will not judge Amaechi based on the audio leak.
“There are three ways people express themselves; in their thoughts, words and in their deeds. Many people say thoughts are free. That is a lie because your own thoughts are recorded in creation and you bear responsibility for them. But unfortunately, human beings cannot read the thoughts of people”.
“So, if you know what people think of you, they may even be wishing you dead while they are laughing. So, people bear responsibility for whatever they do. On earth, it is what we see you do and we monitor that we use in binding you”.
“No matter what they say, Amaechi has been damn effective and we have no reason to be unhappy with him. He is a fighter. So, if people just want to use thinking aloud which he is entitled to, to undo him, then they are using wrong means because it cannot affect Amaechi’s output”.
“Let people look for more credible ways of undermining the APC campaign. The campaign has taken off and as you can see, it is a movement that is looking at the issue of what APC has done in the last three years in attending to the human condition in Nigeria which PDP didn’t do for 16 years” he said.

It therefore means that what he said were facts and correct..not doctored as claimed by APC ...if this is coming from an APC chieftain.

We therefore need to get this country working again..

Ebullience:
The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has denied endorsing Alhaji Atiku Abubarka, the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 presidential election.

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the organisation, Mr Chuks Ibegbu disclosed this on Thursday in Enugu at a media briefing to mark the second anniversary of the current executive of the organisation.

Ibegbu said that the clarification became necessary following misconceptions on the event of Nov. 14, 2018 where some Igbo leaders endorsed the candidacy of Atiku Abubakar for presidency.

It would be recalled that some Igbo leaders had, during a meeting in Enugu, attended by Atiku and the national leaders of the PDP including the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, endorsed Atiku.

Ibegbu, however, clarified that the said endorsement was done by the friends of Atiku, adding that the organisation had not endorsed any particular candidate.

The deputy national publicity secretary said that the organisation needed to be circumspect, “as our children are in all the political parties.’

“It is erroneous to say that we endorsed Atiku. Ohanaeze Ndigbo did not endorse anybody. That meeting at Nike Lake Resort was organised by friends of Atiku.

“However, due to our peculiar circumstance in the country, we will identify with candidates that will restructure Nigeria if voted into power,” he said.

He said that the organisation would soon meet to take a holistic position on the 2019 general elections.

“Ohanaeze Ndigbo has been canvassing for our people to identify with candidates that will restructure Nigeria.

“We still stand on that and in the next few days we shall meet to take a holistic position on the elections,” he said.

Ibegbu noted that within the two years in office of the Chief John Nwodo led Ohanaeze Ndigbo, “we have given our modest contribution by re-jigging Igbo leadership and issues concerning our people”.

He said that the current leadership of the organisation had built synergy with its affiliate groups with a view to achieving unity in the area.

He said that the dexterity and leadership acumen of Nwodo had positively affected the relationship between the organisation and other ethnic socio-cultural associations in the country.

“This has earned the president general an award as ‘Bridge Builder of the Nation’, which will be presented to him on Jan. 17 by Daily Independent Newspapers,” Ibegbu said.

Endorsement or no endorsement.... Atiku/Obi is a goal!

Who their endorsement help?

They are shooting themselves on their foot for selfish interest

san316:
And they keep receiving decampees from the stable PDP.

Your argument holds no waters....decamping is part of politics...like we don't have those decamping to PDP?

I understand where you are going but I won't give you the opportunity to get to that destination... Lolzzzz

This is a complete APC implosion! Everywhere you go, you see and here about APC internal fracas ...

Is that a good thing for a ruling Party?

A disorganized Party such as APC is not fit to handle this country..

hadasah2019:
Who is going to make Nigeria work again? Is it someone as corrupt as Atiku you expect to make the country better?

What evidence do you have to allege that Atiku is corrupt? OK let's agree that he is corrupt, all Politicians are corrupt then...

For me, having studied his ATIKU plan..I believe he will be the best amongst all of them..

He has the political clout, he understands Nigerian politics. Forget the party he is in...its just a platform..people make up parties.. ATIKU is a smart politician

With Obi by his side..he will deliver.. Obi will assist in minimising corruption cos of how prudent he is..and I believe Atiku will listen to him for check and balance.

Next level under this govt will be total hardship and more brain drain...mark my word

Tomis954:
While Atiku was the Vice President between 2000 and 2008, he used offshore companies through wire transfer to siphon millions of dollars to his 4thwife, Jennifer DouglasAtiku’s wife, Douglas helped her husband bring over $40 million in suspect funds into the US.

Stale news.....Who is not corrupt in the Nigerian Polity now? Even in APC....is tinubu a saint? Is Akpabio a saint? Is Amaechi a saint?


Please look for another narrative.... This is now a cliché


If Atiku is corrupt, why did they APC support Atiku in 2014?

Abeg leave story....This is not selling again...Nigerians are wise now

We are getting Nigeria working again

And they will say APC is not PDP.....If you don't understand Nigerian Politics, you won't.. Nigerian Politics is all about personal interest and no more about party ideologies.

These cross carpeting will still not change the outcome of the election

We will get Nigeria working again.

And why seemingly intelligent persons still support this APC party still baffles me...

I guess they are doing so based on Sentiments and not on objectivity..

It is well....Well I do not have issue with them....

We will get this nation working again

mrakeli62:
ALL Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was yesterday unsparing on the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate in the February 16 presidential election Atiku Abubakar.

The PDP, according to the former Lagos State governor, is seeking power to return the country to the dark days when the economy crumbled and Nigerians groaned under its reign between 1999 and 2015.

To him, it amounts to standing logic on its head to compare the PDP standard bearer to incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the APC.

Tinubu issued a statement titled: “We accept President Buhari’s assignment” on his appointment to lead President Buhari’s re-election campaign as the Co-Chairman of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. He said the two candidates – Buhari and PDP’s Atiku Abubakar – are miles apart when it comes to vision, mission and character.

His words: “The character of the two candidates cannot be more distinct. President Buhari is a straight and honest man. Leave a naira on the table with Buhari in the room. You will find the naira on the table when you return.

“When Buhari says ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ you know where he stands. He means what he says, no more, no less. With Atiku, things are more nuanced. When Atiku speaks, he may mean ‘yes,’ ‘no,’ ‘maybe,’ ‘I don’t know,’ ‘come back tomorrow,’ ‘all the above,’ or ‘none of the above.’

“His compass has four needles pointing in different directions at the same time. He knows of no direction to take. President Buhari’s word is his bond. When Atiku speaks, it is to give you the slip.

“We cannot afford a President whose ways and mind is a maze of contradicting urges and colliding desires. This shows he has no vision for the nation and no guiding principles, except the naked pursuit of power for the naked use of that power.”

Tinubu spoke of Atiku’s role in the Obasanjo administration. He said: “Atiku had his chance to shine as VP when he controlled the privatisation programme of the Obasanjo government. He abused this assignment. He helped squander billions of dollars on power generation that did nothing but generated darkness.

“That government had so much money at its disposal and that is exactly what it did. It disposed of the money, yet, failed to treat the poor or build for the future.

“Atiku laid waste to the national treasury for eight long years. That is enough for one lifetime. We should not reward him by giving him another eight years because the more he feeds, the stronger his hunger grows.

“His is a thirst that can’t be quenched and a hand that cannot be restrained from taking whatever is on the table.

“As the PDP candidate, he is now the leader of an avaricious horde that seeks to reattach its mandible once again to the public wealth and forever lay siege to our nation’s future. Nigerians would do well not to pay them any attention.”


The APC stalwart also made scathing remarks on the PDP.

Drawing a comparison between the ruling and the main opposition parties, Tinubu said: “This election concerns more than two competing personalities and political parties. It is a contest between two different visions for the country and the futures these visions portend.

“The APC seeks a better Nigeria by reforming our institutions of governance that these institutions may better implement policies engendering dynamic economic development.

“We seek not only growth but also a fair and just allocation to all segments of the society of the harvest of our national endeavours. Let no Nigerian be forever trapped in poverty and despair. Let all Nigerians be given the genuine opportunity to realise their full potential and contribute to this nation and their own lives as much as their talents and willpower permits of them.

“We build a Nigeria where government leads the nation but does not rule over the people.”

“On the other hand, the PDP pushes toward a future that takes the nation back to the malpractices of the past. Blind to the possibilities of a better day and afraid of the equality that true reform will bring, the PDP remains vested in the ways of corrupt governance and arrogant disregard for the public. For them, the unjust past is not just the object of their dreams; it is their sole destination.

“Thus, this election is about two different policy visions and two different models of leadership. This election is about substantive issues and about character.

“The APC will continue to build a political economy that will well serve Nigeria long after oil revenues are no longer sufficient to sustain the nation and its ever-growing population.

“We are diversifying the economy, giving basic food, health and educational assistance to the most-needy among us, improving agricultural productivity so that our farmers grow more to feed for increasing urban populations and also earn more to sustain their families, and about building needed infrastructure, including electricity and water, because we realise a national economy cannot grow beyond the capacity of the infrastructure that serves that economy.

“Meanwhile, the PDP clan wants to return to the days where they rule the nation like overlords. They want to own every industry and control everything that has anything to do with the creation of wealth.

“They seek to reverse the democratic maxim that government is the servant of the people. The PDP wants a situation where those in government are the masters and the people bow their heads to the interests of the mighty and the rich.

“We have seen this before. Those who really care about Nigeria care not to see such malign governance again.”

Tinubu assured the President that members of the Campaign Council would work hard to stop those who will halt the nation’s progress from coming back to power.

He said the council would not let the President down “because doing so would also let down the nation”.

Tinubu said: “The 2019 APC Presidential Campaign Council has been inaugurated by President Buhari. In his speech at the inaugural meeting, he did more than offer us guidance on the campaign. In his straightforward manner, he outlined the achievements of his administration, reminding the nation of the pillars of progressive governance and of our party.

“I think I can speak for all members of the Campaign Council that we accept the assignments given by the President with devotion and a firm commitment to perform to our utmost the individual and collective tasks given.

“It is a great honour and responsibility he has given us. We dare not let him down because doing so would also let down the nation.

“Consequently, the members of the APC presidential campaign council accept our respective assignments as both high honor and heavy responsibility.

“We will work diligently to re-elect President Buhari. We do this not for personal accolades. We do this not merely to re-elect a party member. We do this because it is the best thing for Nigeria. The campaign has begun!”

If you take APC seriously , you are in for a loonnng thing....political statements to keep deceiving their followers.....

So if they defect, it therefore means that APC is PDP too....However, this is inconsequential

Typical Politics in the west... I wish them all.the best!

ImperialYoruba:
Every day i say Allahu Akbar. I go make heaven before you do. Yeye.

Hahahaha...make heaven with this ya post? We you dey look for quarrel here and there? Issorite!

Bagehot:
Sorry man, Atiku is losing this election. I'm indifferent to what party wins at the federal, but the handwriting is on the wall.

1. Let's start with considering the geopolitical zones: Asides SE, SS, and bits of NC, where is Atiku's stronghold? Is Atiku even formidable enough to sweep Adamawa? SW courtesy of Jagaban is for APC - there is no motivated PDP structure to do that work for Atiku - not in Oyo state, not in Ekiti (Fayose made too many enemies for the party), not in Osun (adeleke is only concerned about dancing, and beating his waec forgery case), not Ogun (where PDP has 2 candidates) - maybe Ondo (dont know much about the dynamics there). NE and NW - solid Buhari bases.

2. Who are these key figures behind Atiku? Saraki who is fighting the most tasking battle for his own survival in Kwara? Dino who is already losing his voice? Tambuwal who could not move with Wamakko to PDP? Wike, Ekweremadu, and Kwankwaso who have been awfully quiet at this critical time in election season? Fayose who is fighting tough battles of his own? Obasanjo who would be demystified after march, 2019? Danjuma who would be defanged pretty soon (a lot of oil blocks are due for renewal)? SE governors who are only paying lip service to the Atiku campaign? SS governors who are on the lowkey half in bed with APC?

3. How about campaign financing? Atiku's famed wealth would not save him - for his dirty money to pass through the banking system without hiccups in this age of BVN, and eagle-eyed NFIU would be extremely difficult. For those 'big-wigs' who would want to come through for him, there would be a lot of explaining to do on the bags of dollars they have buried on their farms, and hidden in their guest toilets. Atiku's campaign is VERY cash-strapped in Lagos here, I have only seen two bill-boards for his campaign, yet everywhere I'm seeing PMB / PYO. I also hear that in the SE, there is almost no visibility for his campaign (I cant confirm this for myself).

4. North-South dynamics - They wont tell you this, but a lot of southern politicans (including your SE governors) do not want the North to remain in power for much longer than necessary. Atiku as president means an additional 8 years of northern rule, which in turn implies that ambitious heavy-weights such as Tambuwal, Wike, Fashola, Osinbajo etc would have to wait longer - ain't nobody got time for that son.

5. Jagaban, love him or hate him - he is probably the most influential politician in Nigeria after the President himself, hence I wasn't surprised that he was named co-chairman of PMB's campaign. Whatever the outcomes of this election, everybody - politician or banker needs to learn from Tinubu: whatever position you are in, aggressively groom smart people around you to do big things. The number 1 reason Tinubu is this influential is because he has groomed and made way too many people in SW politics, that to pull him down would mean going after dozens of extremely influential people themselves - Osinbanjo, Fashola, Amosun, Fowler, Banire, Agbaje (yep he started off under Tinubu), Obanikoro, Bamidele, Aregbesola, Gbajabiamila, Fayemi, Nwabueze, Lai Mohammed, Banire - these are just a few I could remember that are visible at the national level. Secondly, avoid focusing on only the short-term, and always play the long game (10+ years): Tinubu's end-game is not 2019 (its already a given) - its 2023. In Nigerian politics, ignore Asiwaju at your own peril.

Your analysis is flawed in so many ways... It will be in your face when Atiku wins.. Mark my words

Afamed:
Bla bla bla bla bla bla bla as usual

BabaO2:
PDP sent thugs to distrupt APC Lagos rally.

ekestic1976:
Only the devil himself can tell what skewed god created the so-called IPOBs and the other Contrarians. How on earth can people be so full of hatred of fellow human beings and yet call themselves Christians? Nowhere is arguments won by hauling insults and abuse on dissenting opinions. By doing so, you're showing the opposition the kind of Nigeria you'd create if, God forbid, your principal Atiku wins. Learn forbearance and humility.

Who has hauled insults now? You just wake up and you saw insults? Where.... Its just a figment from your imagination...concentrate on your support and leave insult alone...I wonder where the insult is coming from....That's how you whip up tribal sentiments here and there....concentrate on your sanwo-olu...

omamokta:
When is Atiku flagging off his campaign in the South East?

When it happens then you will know...NTA will show it..even AIT will also too....be calm

Afamed:

HYPOCRITE! What is this you guys said 2014?

I knew APC will find themselves in this quagmire.....there are factions that do not like what happened to Ambode!

ORIENTATION101:
But pdp didnt tell us one pdp south east governor that has stand on the podium with atiku to campaign for him since the begining of their rally.

Self denial is the first stage of defeat

Campaign trail has not hit the SE.my good friend....have you gone to Enugu to see the billboards?

You wait and see!

Afamed:
Yes, he's winning in his Local Government area. Schmuck

Well I won't blame you ....you just showed your crass ineptitude to reason very well with your post..millennium child! Rather than attacking the issue ...you are busy attacking the personality... What has Schmuck got to do with the discourse now? Did I insult u? The mods will not see this now?

Anyway like I said , I dont blame you.... Your upbringing has a question mark....

Bigwigs like who pls. r politician. Atiku is in for a shocker becos the southeastern part of the country that he put hope on will disappoint him becos none of them is campaigning for u. They dont want to associate with a looter.

From your question, its obvious you do not know what is going on in the Nigerian polity now.

Galadima who was a major APC strong man is now for PDP...did you watch his interview on AIT yesterday....He is core north.. He understands Buhari and APC....

He has APC secrets on his palm and he clearly showed it yesterday....For APC to have allowed that man to leave still surprises me.. Galadima has a very strong structure my good friend and he has vowed to use that to make sure Atiku wins...

What is APC is hoping on is to rig the election with federal might but we are waiting for them.

My dear is not about boasting on a social media but by a systematic political calculation...I just only mentioned Galadima....kwakwanso is there....if only you know what kwakwasir is all about....its like a cult in kano and in the north....what about the Gombe governor's structure.....

There are only 3 PDP governors in the south east....Anambra is for Atiku cos of Obi...Abia , Enugu and Ebonyi are all for PDP..wait till when the campaign train hits the east ..then u will understand....IMO state..is 50/50 in fact IMO is Atiku.... Cos of obi..... So its not all about boasting but about calculation

This same looter narrative again..gosh! Who is not a looter in Nigerian Politics today? If you listened to the Amaechi tape, you will understand that looting is part of Nigerian Politics but having said that, your narrative holds no waters.....You are baby in Nigerian Politics.... If you only you know the underground moves going on now for Atiku.... And who told you the SE is not routing for Atiku? My good friend leave matter!

February is around the corner....get your PVC ready and go and vote.....What APC will do is to rig the election....But we are waiting for them!

ATTENTION...

We believe BABA to clear up this as part of the evil things he met on ground from the worst 16 years in the history of Nigeria.
16 years that was supposed to be the best years in Nigeria history, but rather, just some few sets of CRIMINALS raped and brutalized the country, leaving behind sorrow, tears and BLOOD, which this EVIL Boko haram remain a deep part of.
All evil politicians along with their supporters will not end well....They can NEVER escape all the evil they brought on this COUNTRY!

Including the ones in APC too....you go dey alright las las... Lolzzz
