Its unfortunate and ironic that candidates who flaunt crowds of supporters in hundreds of thousands in open stadiums, have fear of a microphone and a few people in a Hall.

The ruling party is telling the people to look at thieves on the rostrum and the people are telling the ruling party to look at corpses on the ground.

Sani, u will have enough time to write after March 2, so don't rush. Ur position is already for sale.

You should be ashamed of yourself too, how many times have campaigned for other corrupted government officials with jets to be investigated, former governors with their salaries can not afford to own a jet but we see most of them with jets.

If they're serious about this fight against corruption everyone should be investigated not selective, the reasons why people like the CJN still have a lot of support is why now, before his appointment they normally carry out checks on them how come all this was not discovered then.

They can't take Nigerians for fools, I if they want this country to move then the right thing should be done. Don't come here and praise one side and curse the other side

No govt not even US or the best economy in the world will fight his own people even if they are corrupt. If the PDP is pained with selective investigation, then when they were in power they shd have done same so corruption can reduce. How do we tell the south that after several years of not having the CJN position, a corrupt individual pocketed by Wike and the south south govs is the chosen one. Let him be prepared to leave because PDP is wiling to use him and Odili's wife to scuttle justice after elections just as the succeeded in Rivers canceling all APC candidates all because of wike.

Its a pity Kola is from Kogi state. The rate at which this guy heats up the polity u will think the whole country is on fire. What a man of shameful look.

Teewhy2:
Am still confused why a president that is contesting as the presidential candidate of a party will even say he is handling over the party flag to the party presidential candidate of the party ( when the supposed to recieve is the gubernatorial candidate) assuming he didn't mention senatorial before gubernatorial again I would have said its slip of tongue but that incidence still pondering on it.
Note am not for any of the parties just thinking aloud my opinion.

Fight ur fight and leave the mam's mistake alone. Haven't you ever make a slip before? Corrupt individuals.
All these south south govs let them show us any major project any of them has done in 4 yrs including Wike other than propaganda.

Mikora:
The United States Congress has warned President Muhammadu Buhari to stop the harassment of the opposition political leaders, following recent perceived crackdown on some political figures in the country.

The warning by the US Congress is coming on the heels of a N156 million fraud allegation against former Vice-President and Presidential candidate of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) by the federal government.

The UN Congress warning is contained in a bipartisan resolution urging the government of Nigeria, along with Nigeria’s political parties, to ensure electoral accountability and transparency in the upcoming February election.

A statement made available to THISDAY by Zachary Seidl of the US Congressional office, said the resolution, which has been adopted by the US Congress, was introduced on Wednesday, by Rep. Karen Bass, a top Democrat serving on the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, along with the Chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Elliot L. Engel, the top Republican serving the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa Congressman Chris Smith, Nigeria Caucus Co-Chairs Representatives Steve Chabot and Shelia Jackson Lee, and Representative Gregory Meeks.

“The upcoming elections in Nigeria, Africa’s largest democracy and economy, are critical to the future of the nation. Reports of President Muhammadu Buhari’s apparent crackdown on non-violent protests and harassment of opposition leaders are extremely concerning, as well as the ongoing violence that has been perpetrated by extremists, particularly in the Middle Belt region. The violence must be stopped, along with any subversion of the electoral process. The Nigerian government must see to free and fair elections, which this resolution calls for,” said Ranking Member Smith.

They urged President Buhari to copy the smooth transition in 2015 from the ruling party to the opposition, as their commitment to the strengthening of democracy in Nigeria.

“I am proud to be an original cosponsor of this legislation, which reaffirms the United States’ long-standing commitment to strengthening democracy in Nigeria. In 2015, Nigeria became another democratic role model for countries on the continent, showing that a credible electoral process could result in the peaceful transition of power from an incumbent to the opposition. Regardless of the outcome, my hope for the upcoming presidential, gubernatorial, and National Assembly elections is that Nigerian politicians, citizens, and the electoral commission will build on the successes of 2015 to further consolidate democracy in Nigeria,” said Chairman Engel.

The Congressmen harped on the imperative of conducting free and credible elections. “It is critical that Nigeria remain a role model in its region for democratic institutions and work to ensure free and fair elections. There can be no democracy without full confidence in the results of an election, and it is vital that there is full transparency so that February leaves no doubt as to the outcome,” said Representative Meeks.


According to Representative Bass, “It is in the best interest of the United States to maintain a strong bilateral relationship with a politically stable, democratic, and economically sound Nigeria that can play a leadership role in the region and the continent more broadly.

“A credible, transparent and peaceful election this coming February would further consolidate democratic gains achieved over the last two decades. Nigerians are deeply committed to democracy and ensuring transparency in electoral preparations, which would build public confidence in the electoral process. This resolution sends the message that the people of the United States will continue to stand with the people of Nigeria in support of peace and democracy.”

Still on US-Nigeria collaboration, Representative Chabot said, “As Co-Chair of the Congressional Nigeria Caucus, I appreciate the importance of a strong bilateral relationship with Nigeria and applaud its citizens for their commitment to democracy.

“There is still work to be done, however, to ensure that Nigeria’s upcoming elections are transparent, peaceful, and credible. Our resolution lays out the necessary steps to achieve these goals, and urges Nigeria to conduct elections free of violence. Conducting high-quality elections will strengthen our bilateral relationship, help consolidate Nigerian democracy, and be an example to other countries.”

So US congress is now the ones to tell us how to run our country because someone has come to tell them he will sell NNPC to . I guess they shd face their govt shutdown instead of their interest in corrupt wealth of African countries.

President Buhari almost slumped at the Kaduna rally for his 2019 re-election yesterday, few days after a similar incident played out in Kogi State.

According to political columnist, Prof. Farooq Kperogi, Buhari who had a couch as his aid this time is showing signs of 'dementia'. He wrote as he shared the video;

This happened today in Kaduna during APC's presidential campaign rally. In this video, Buhari slumped helplessly onto the couch. Recall how he also fell in Lokoja. I feel sorry for this man. His motor skills are weak, which is another tell-tale symptom of dementia

Here is the video below;

Your evil wish for this man will not work. You will catch up with ur nemesis soon. Keep wishing him what will befall u

netpro:
"Na Our Man" mentality must not erode the course of justice.

We all must support the effort to fight corruption at all levels. Justice should run its course.

It is well with Nigeria.

It is a big shame that after several decades of not giving any southern judge the opportunity, the stupid corrupt opportuned individual is collecting bribes from Wike and his likes. How will a judge tell the nation that he forgot to declare an account with over $5M and pple are supporting him because they still want to use him for post election matters to their advantage. Can Wike tell us he is not the one behind Rivers APC court case sponsoring Abe to destroy the party? CJN knows about all of these happenings and until Odili wife and this corrupt CJN leaves office, APC may not enjoy right judgement.

deboysben:
Amechi is just suffering from diarrhea of the mouth

Amaechi should know by now wike is far from him politically

He is also a bloody betrayal, he did it to Gej and he's doing it now to buhari. He can't be trusted

Oga PDP, pls explain to us what u mean by betrayal. So Amaechi shd lick ur ass because u are from south south. Weeereeeee

Stalwert:
and they say PMB is not fighting corruption. By allowing tthe CCT to deal with the CJN, civil servants are in fear. Thunder strike all ipob miscreants cownudice, Saraki aid campaigners, shameless defender corruption. Just by allowing institutions to work PMB has struck a huge blow on corruption supporters

My friend I am totally in support of your views. PDP knows the man is trying but with the way Buhari is moving they will have nothing left in their hideouts so all this noise is to regain power and keep taking away our national wealth.

peter1994:
Incompetency personified. I can't be blindly supporting someone this daft. Anytime he opens his mouth to speak, he always say something daft. Even to read from a manuscript, he does it in a very lifeless manner. #shame

My judge, thank you for ur views. You that have life on nairaland.

FreddyKruger:
Bad news surrounds the lifeless one these days. An Omen of his calibre at the seat of power will only translate ill luck, misery and poverty to nigerians.

Why is all ur comment is directed at another person's father. Don't u have a father?

DonFreshmoney:
All this are majority of people from kaduna north constituency.. Kaduna votes will be 60-40 in favour of buhari...

90% of kaduna south is voting Atiku, 40% of kaduna central will vote Atiku... fact

Like u are in the minds of the people there.

ClearFlair:
Rubbish. Like Atiku can win any election

The US officials doing this are being paid by the looters of our treasury. They can not interfere in the affairs of our country. Russia dealt with US even in their very own eyes and they cudn't do anything. So Nigeria is not in the hands of US.

This man Sani surely knows his not returning to the senate so he wants to fight dirty. Pls go on, by Feb just a month away, we shall all see.

STARGREEN:
"The chamber is the largest lobbying group in the US, spending more money than any other lobbying organization on a yearly basis.

It has specific economic and political leanings, which plays major roles in elections in the United States and the creation of jobs in the world’s largest economy."

A very purposeful visit for better economy. Thank God it will end well

I guess this are the people is trying to sell our NNPC to that's y they granted him Visa. Any meeting that does not allow press to attend has a devilish agenda.

rexwalters:
Maybe amaechi told the CJN not to declare all his accounts?

Let me say that Wike might be saying the truth because both him and Amaechi knows whats going on. U think the Rivers court cancelling all APC candiddates in Rivers is just a coincidence? Its because of Amaechi and Wike's fight. Abey was used by wike to cause this confusion in the state believing wike will allow him be gov 2023

sirequity:
Source: https://politicstimesng.com/wike-amaechi-behind-plot-to-remove-cjn-onnoghen/

I have said this before. Wike is the one controlling nigeira's judiciary thru his numerous buildings and offices his building for the judges. This is the reason Judges in Rivers court can not go against Wike's interest. Amaechi knows all Wike is doing in the judiciary with Odili's wife in supreme court. After the elelction the CJN will still be used by the PDP to overturn some judgement in their favour. The earlier they remove the CJN the better for this govt. That CJN is purely a kopnomi

DrGoodman:
Whether he is in the moon, I will vote Atiku come February. A vote for Atiku is a vote for the resurrection of Nigeria from the death grip of the cabal.

I cannot support lifeless people anymore. APC presidential candidate cannot win as my WhatsApp admin.

A thief is a thief. We will not allow u sell our national companies to ur friends to make them rich.

ORIENTATION101:
One idiot said pmb cannot get 80k. Is like pdp and her supporters just like to live in self denial after knowing the truth

The truth about South-South is that the govs bribes and threathens the electoral officers. If u don't write results for them u might loss ur life. Even to come out and vote in Rivers one might loss his life due to gunshots especially in Rivers. So people of differs opinions might not come out.

Ebullience:
Former Vice President and the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, has not travelled to the United States of America (USA), his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Paul Ibe, has said.

Ibe told our correspondent via a telephone chat Thursday afternoon that online reports which stated that Atiku had travelled to the US were a figment of the imagination of the authors.

“You know what the social media can do. You know the social media for what they are now. It is not true. His Excellency hasn’t gone anywhere,” he said.

The clarification came following an online tweet from the Publisher of Ovation magazine, Mr. Dele Momodu, who shared the web link of the online report. See his tweet below:

Press Statement

APC Warri Rally: Buhari Has Foreseen His Defeat - PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organization (PPCO) notes President Muhammadu Buhari’s voluntary handing over of his Presidential candidacy at the APC Presidential campaign rally in Warri, Delta state, on Thursday, and surmised that he (Buhari) has foreseen his defeat and already switched into a handing-over mode.

The whole world watched as President Buhari, apparently overwhelmed by thoughts of his defeat, ended up declaring the APC Governorship candidate in Delta state, Great Ogboru, as the Presidential candidate.

President Buhari told his audience, “I have this pleasure of handing over this flag of honour to our Presidential candidate”, while giving the flag to Great Ogboru.

It is clear that President Buhari, worried by the shunning of his campaign by Nigerians, mistook the Warri Rally for the May 29, 2019 handing over ceremony that is four months ahead.

President Buhari is already in the mood of his May 29, 2019 handover of mantle of leadership to PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, following the national consensus to return the PDP back to power in the February 16, 2019 Presidential elections.

President Buhari had continued to display that he did not have the intention of seeking for a second term in office. It is evident that he is only being compelled by the cabal in his Presidency, who the First Lady, Aisha Buhari, had confirmed are manipulating the President for their pecuniary interest while the nation suffers.

The PPCO therefore calls on all Nigerians to note that there is no need casting any vote for President Buhari who has overtly shown that he is not prepared for the election.

Only thugs and rogue can do well in this type of your assignment handling talking with both sides of ur mouth at every giving opportunity just because of ur pay masters.
The die is cast and we shall all see who losses in d end. Don't think that ur Dubai plan of using the CJN will work because all eyes are now on him.

Shameless Dullard. Going there to repeat same stupid programmed lines in his demented skull.

Corruption: before when I was in khaki i say you are guilty till you can prove innocent, but now I am in Agbada.

Security. Boko Haram was holding 17 local government under PDP but are not holding any under APC.

Economy. 16 years of PDP bla bla bla.

Nigeria must be cursed to have the Lifeless as President.

People like u will claim u are educated but ur write-ups filed with insults most times. Are u sure u wont remain at this level for long?

Shikini:
Lol, Osinbajo has lost it completely.

I know a friend who got 8m for his technical workshop.
He has about 5 staff and several apprentices including engineering students on IT & NYSC.

My wife's elder brother's friend at Ota got 5m for his fishery.
He's the main supplier of catfish in that axis Iyana-Ipaja, Abulegba, Ijaiye, Kola, Agbado, Sango, Ifo, Ota,

Tell me what Osinbajo has lost. He is more favoured than u are. His children are better of than u and ur house hold.

baliyubla:
"He can speak for himself naaa ann annn". Where the exact words of Kadriah Ahmed.

Shame never catch me finish for Osinbajo and his dullard.

I think u need to pray more so u dont shame urself into 2020. Keep hating a man made for favour.

jchioma:
The head of the country’s judiciary cannot be prosecuted while in office until he is oust by the National Judicial Council which must take the decision if the judicial officer is found wanting after its investigation brought against any judge.

Zai baba wants to destroy every gain of democracy and zombies are edging him on to his own destruction.

I prefer the so called democracy to be lost and we go back to days of military than this sso called madness of politians looting the whole nations treasury in the name of democracy. Pls tell me what gain we have actually seen in this so called demo-nonsense. Let the courts be closed and the country go back to military era and we see how much rich politician will remain in Nigeria.

Ezekhome has been one of the highest beneficiary of the so called system of govt as his a high bidder for corrupt political individual

But why are they meeting in Abuja, why not ph or somewhere in the south south

I guess u might need to check ur own integrity first before casting stones on others.

zombieTRACKER:
Lies from the pit of hell

Ekweremadu has always been to northern campaigns with the pDP ..

We know he wanted the VP position but his feelings are inconsequential because the whole of South East is Atikulated already ... And there is nothing anybody can do about it... Ekweremadu has no power to sway his family into voting another candidate Let alone his street .

It is not today giving out things during election started so showing us what u really went for in the campaign area is not worth to share. You voted PDP in 2015 and they still loss. So spare us the nylon.

gabolak:
I think there is a sensible point in that your theory that there was a Buhari's mole in that Dubai meeting.

The leaked plan and this move against the cjn is the aftermath effect of the suspension of the pdp national vice chairman for anti-party activities recently. the man later defected to the apc.

politics na whaooo

Guy, u just said the truth and nothing but the truth. Wike controls the supreme court thru Odili's wife and PDP will hardly loss any election case if the CJN remains on seat. Its better they remove him now. Thank God his guilty and has said it himself.

sonofElElyon:
Your use of the word "lacuna" is wrong please. Lacuna means void, empty space or gap. "There is now a moral lacuna" is what you should have said. The CJN is not supposed to have a moral lacuna in the first place.

However, he should step aside, because he longer possess the moral lacuna to preside over cases involving corruption at the Supreme court.

Exactly the reason the writer raised the issue. Just that the timing is a bit wrong. But its better late than never because such person can not give right judgment in corruption cases. May be real reason most corruption cases by FG has been lost especially saraki's several cases. So politician can deposit dollars into his foreign account without public knowing about it.

kahal29:
The Executive Director, Anti-Corruption and Research-Based Data Initiative, Mr Dennis Aghanya, said the Presidency has no hand in the petition against the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.

Reacting to insinuations that the petition was sponsored by President Muhammadu Buhari, Aghanya told one of our correspondents that he also took Buhari to court in 2011.

He also said the CJN had already owned up to the allegations brought against him in the petition.

Speaking with our correspondent on the telephone Saturday night, Aghanya said, “Did you not know that I once took Mr. President to court in 2011? I used to be one of his aides but I took him to court.

“This is a petition by an NGO, what has Mr. President got to do with it?

“People are just trying to avoid a major issue. Our concern is to unveil irregularities.

“People should not try to politicise the good work we are doing.

“The person the petition was written against owned up to everything. In issues of this nature should we be sentimental or do we face facts?”

Aghanya added that he will convene a press conference on a yet to be determined date over the development.


https://punchng.com/presidency-has-no-hand-in-petition-against-onnoghen-aghanya/

That is the point. The person in question has owned up. So y the shout about policizing every thing to get support of the CJN at the election. The writer of the petition has come out openly to say he did. PDP should face election and how to get people to vote for them and not tell the govt how to run their duties or who to appoint until they win and get to power again.

Flattino:
Can you imagine some idiots are screaming buhari has been busted . Bla bla bla up there .
I cry for Nigeria . Thieves everywhere

Whoever writes the petition is immaterial. What matter is, is the man guilty of the charges which will be judged in the court. Don't also forget that Wike has the control of the judiciary especially the supreme court because of Odii's wife and the Estate his building for them in PH and office buildings. So PDP will hardly loss any corrupt case at the supreme court or election case.
