National chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prince Uche Secondus has warned the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Idris Ibrahim, to desist from plunging the nation into unnecessary chaos by attempting to subvert the mandate of the people in the forthcoming general elections.

Secondus who expressed optimism that his party would win the Presidential poll of February 16 added that the reason President Mohammadu Buhari has failed to fulfil his promises of job creation, fighting insecurity and surmounting the challenge of corruption is because he is too weak to rule a country as complex as Nigeria.

He,therefore, urged the people of Ekiti and Nigerians as a whole to vote PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, saying: “Do you know why the economy has collapsed?, Do you know why hunger is in the land? Your President, Buhari is a sleeping President, he has no energy that is why the economy has collapsed, we are coming with Atiku who has energy and can work 24 hours a ,day not the one that would work for three years. This government of APC wants to rig election but we want to tell you that they cannot rig the coming elections because the world will focus on Nigeria. So we are going to win this election, look at Atiku, he is tested and trusted in public and private sectors. He is a man that can turn the economy around. And he has the energy for the job.

“INEC, all your plan to rig the election will fail. If you attempt to rig the polls, you will be throwing the country into chaos. IGP, you aren’t the first IGP of this nation, don’t plunge the nation into chaos. It is going to be one man one vote, free and fair election,” he said.

Also speaking, Atiku who assured Ekiti people that he would not abandon them like the ruling party has allegedly done, said: “The good people of Ekiti state, APC has stolen all your jobs, now they want to steal your votes, they did it in Ekiti and Osun, Ogun, Bauchi, they even stole in Kastina where they come from, I don’t know why they have to steal in their home. This state has always been a PDP. When we paid a courtesy call to Ewi of Ado, he said he wants us to build the roads , we will complete all federal projects not completed, we will restore standard and quality education, so we can give you jobs, APC don’t know how to create jobs and don’t know how to give you, 40 per cent of our portfolios will go to youths while 30 per cent will go to women and that is 70 for youths and women. We know how to do it and we have done it before, we will do it again,” he assured.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki who was welcomed into the hugely crowded campaign venue with deafening applause, also urged the people, particularly the youths to vote Atiku because: ” He will give you jobs as he has given millions through his private business.”

He continued: “There is no story, youths you are the future we need, a leader has to make good his promises but Buhari promised you jobs, security and to fight corruption, has he fulfilled his promises, No! to do all these you must know how to do it. Atiku is a man who knows how to create jobs, secure the country and also fight corruption.”

Promising his party the Ekiti peoples’ votes, immediate past governor of the state, Ayo Fayose , said: “In Ekiti we will deliver, he that the gods will destroy, he will first make to run mad, that is the case of the current Federal Government, but PDP will deliver Nigeria from their poverty and misrule,” he said.

Very sound analysis, this are the kind of argument I appreciate reading on this forum, not the tribal/religion hatred.
Kudos to you guys jpphlip and the posters

Everybody knows Nigeria's GDP was $590 billion dollars and per capita was $2,500 in 2015 before Buhari took over in month of May. 2015.

It took Buhari one full year to select ministers like Amaechi, Adeosun and Ngige! Then Buhari finally killed Nigeria by unnecessarily saying he would marginalize parts of the country he called 5% and thus flared up another round of militancy in Niger Delta.

Since 2015, Buhari had progressively mismanaged and shrunk Nigeria's GDP to the current $380 billion and per capita of $1,900. If Buhari continues to the next level, he will definitely bring Nigeria's per capita to less than $1,000 and make Nigeria the poorest country in Africa

So in your country the president shrinks GDP?
Did you finish elementary school or you took a break from hawking Gala to type this hogwash?

Why would Jubril do this if he is not from Sudan?

Is nigeria a power broker in the middle east political arena?

Black Africans have no business whatsoever to with middle east politics. At least, for now!

FarahAideed:
exposed !!!! I knew that thing was some sort of gang sign ... Buhari first accepted the Islamic black standard flag in Aso Rock, then he flew Boko haram flag there and now throwing up terrorist gang signs on the National assembly

BlacSmit:
Yesterday just after the representation of the 2019 budget, the Nigerian President, Muhammad Buhari made a symbolic gesture to show solidarity to a terrorist organization ravaging the middle east - the Muslim Brotherhood!

The Muslim brotherhood, according to the CIA, is an Islamic sect that works with Sunni terrorist groups to push their political ideology.

AS WE ALL KNOW, BOKO HARAM ARE SUNNI TERRORIST!

That's true, for the first time I agree with Ben Bruce

Ben Murray-Bruce, the Senator representing Bayelsa East district has cited a major problem with 2019 budget presented to National Assembly on Thursday by President Muhammadu Buhari.


Bruce in a series of tweets on Saturday, said the amount proposed for servicing debts borrowed by the Buhari’s government in three years was a serious problem to the 2019 fiscal budget.

The Bayelsa lawmaker wrote: “The main issue with the 2019 budget is that Nigeria has borrowed so much money these last 3 years that we now spend more on servicing our debts (that is paying interests, not paying off the debts) than we do on infrastructure. And twice paying salaries what we spend on projects.”


Bruce further condemned Buhari for having more recurrent expenditure in 2019 budget despite his criticisms at ex-president Goodluck Jonathan of making high expenditures in 2015.

According to him, “President Buhari criticised Goodluck Jonathan for having a high recurrent expenditure, but it is so funny that in his latest budget, recurrent expenditure has doubled from what it was in 2015. My advice to the President is this-make your words sweet, just in case you have to eat them.”

ukukaegbu:
While we rush to condemn the man due to pure hate, have we considered the message he is passing across? His men that were arrested, what offence did they commit?
The same people that accuse him of not caring for his people are still the same ones here crying more than the bereaved.

Ratello:
No thinking about it this analysis captured the truth of the matter about this budget of hopelessness, however, I quite disagree with the writer where he said Buhari is trying his best, no way he ain't trying shiiit, he saw the handwriting on the wall when he was elected and common sense should have prevailed that he needs to surround himself with the best brains especially in his "Economic Team" this is where he got it all wrong by starting with a biting fiscal policies that scared international investors away and encourages low patronage of Nigerian vast market from local and indigenous investors. Our economy is a consuming economy (it is in actual fact a predominantly consuming one) and I don't see any sign of hope in sight should Buhari continue beyond 2019 because Nigeria may witness a total economic meltdown especially when one factors in the dwindling international oil price and owing to the fact that our over reliance on oil is still at 95% to fund the budget. It is a grim situation now that should call for sober reflection except a system is put in place that can kickstart a revolution in our Agricultural sector, Service sector and Manufacturing sector within the next one year this I believe can turn around the situation a bit and make the economy a partially producing one far from the consuming path we are currently threading. Yes, Atiku may not be a perfect and worthy man to mount the stage now and be the helmsman, however, his economic blueprint is a future catalyst that can take us closer to the economic revolutions i cited above in the 3 aforementioned sectors. The truth is, your analysis just exposed the rudderless and helplessness of this useless government of no vision which I believe it will be pure madness should we allow Buhari to continue beyond 2019. Peace.

Can you name a country where what you said happened? Please mention one!

What you said makes zero economic sense.

When Sanusi assumed office in 2009 his first action was to devalue the Naira from 120 to 150. At that time the official rate was around 120 but the black market rate fell to 190 at a time. Soludo was not ready to accept reality that the Naira needed a devaluation. He tried to defend the official rate and blew $20b of the foreign reserves doing so. That's one reason why the foreign reserves were low as at 2015
Sanusi immediately deregulated the official rate upon assumption of office and the 2 rates merged at 150! And it stayed around that rate for 5 years. If what you said is true why didnt it drive the investor window above the parallel market rate of 190 to perhaps 250?

Most countries that have devalued have seen the official and black market merge at most! Where you got this theory of your baffles me or did you just invent it!

Sanusi said the official rate and the parallel rates should never be more than 3%. Any difference above that leads to round tripping.

During most of Soludo's tenure, there was at most a N2 difference between the 2 rates so that people stopped going to the CBN to request for forex. He only veered off in 2008 during the oil price crash from $148 to $35 reduce foreign exchange inflows which natural should led to a depreciation but was unready to accept reality.

The present government rate at 305 and the investor window at 360 is almost an 18% gap and this has encouraged round tripping. Talk of PMB fighting corruption

socialmediaman:
Neither does he have the confidence of investors with his stiff economic policies, lack of transparency, corruption, cabal controlling his government, incompetent managers and administrators.

I do admire your textbook style economic analysis, it seems to be adequate for a developed society, one which is managed by experienced and competent political and business leaders, but it’s kind of oblivious of the ‘transmission transmitting’ managers in Nigeria’s political leadership who are overseeing inefficiency and lack of adequate planning in the system.

grandstar:
On point on most things

About basing the budget on N305, its just stupid

The investor forex window is around 360, why not let it merge? This alone may add an extra 400bn to the government kitty and reduce borrowing by PMB which is as sure as night follows day

socialmediaman:
This guy just finished Nigeria! MalcoImX should we be worried? It’s not too late to change our minds and vote Sowore, or you already did absentee ballot?

VaselineCrew:
Buhari that has spent almost half of his tenure outside the country either for medical tourism or "official" tourism, is the same one they are advocating for?

They say that they met Nigeria in a dire state, yet in his dilatory nature, Buhari took 6 months to employ ministers, who he had previously given the derogatory epithet of "Noise makers"! So tell me how those roles would not be considered sinecures?

How often do we even get to see the troglodyte buhari?

Is it the wanton bloodshed that excites these benighted buhari followers? Doing the dance of the macabre over the graves of innocent souls?

I just don't get it.

IamD18:
Look at how hungry these street ones are looking, especially the one in the last picture.

I'm sure the man is starving for the past four days and he's busy giving 4+4 sign.

Foolish and gullible set of creatures supporting a bigotic terrorist.

By the time Jubril is done with you all supporting him, your poverty and hunger level will not just increase to 4+4, it will be 4 multiply by 4.

@POLITICSNGR

Ex-Aviation minister, Femi Fani Kayode has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari swore to deal with lawmakers that 'booed' him during the 2019 Budget presentation at the National Assembly last week.

PoliticsNGR gathered that FFK, in a series of tweets on Saturday afternoon disclosed that the President allegedly swore in Aso-rock that he will 'show lawmakers who is in charge', blaming the Senate president, Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Reps, Yakubu Dogara for the embarrassment.

He wrote; "A reliable source at the Presidency told me that when Buhari/Jubril got back to the Villa after being booed at the National Assembly he sat down in silence for almost one hour after which he pointed to the sky with his right finger and, in deep rage, swore that "WHEN" he comes back in 2019 he will "teach the legislators the lesson of their lives" and "show them who is in charge".

He blamed Saraki and Dogara for the whole episode and mentioned the names of APC legislators who he claimed were involved in"the wicked and evil conspiracy to disgrace me".

If you want to understand how pathetic Nigerians can be, even the educated ones, have them talk about politics.

If the people who trooped to Ojota and other places in 2012 in solidarity against the projected removal of fuel subsidy and pegging of price from N87 to N97 have suddenly gone blind, deaf and dumb when: This government increased the fuel price to N145 on the backdrop of the recouped funds being channeled to transport, education etc.

But something was not right. In 2016, Osibanjo claimed subsidy had been removed and the government was saving many billions. He doubled down in every event he went to how subsidy had been removed, until last week when he couldn't cover up the lie anymore. The problem with this lie is not just about the deception, it is that the government is paying about 200%-250% more subsidy for a product that costs 30% less.

Perhaps, the most disturbing thing about all of this is that every penny spent by this government on fuel subsidy since 2016 is unbudgeted. That is, every penny spent has not been appraised, audited, not to talk of being approved by the national assembly. The impact of this illegal criminality is disturbing.

If a professor of law and chairman of the presidential panel on corruption could comment on Adeosun's false certificate as unnecessary distraction as long as she is doing her job. Then this tells you the problem in this country.

Buhari's criminal incompetence has been a burden to this country. A man who took more than six months to appoint a cabinet or even lay down a government plan and when there was a report of how many businesses were folding up and some leaving the country, he famously quipped that "they are the agents of corruption leaving". Buhari's ineptitude greatly contributed to the recession. Is it just coincidental that the two times Nigeria has been in recession, thirty four years apart, has been under one man? Look up who that man is.

Till today, there are MDAs without official heads and that is not surprising because he defended his late formation of cabinet and derided ministers as "noise makers".

Let me leave the other examples of his failings on the economy and focus on the tenets of the thread.

I'll be back to state the widely documented incidents of how the Northern elites, including Buhari, El-rufai, Shettima etc, weaponised the war on terror under GEJ, as anti-North.

Someday, most of you will come to realize the problem of this country. Someday, you will look in the mirror and tell yourself that Nigeria is just a product of British criminality.

The greatest crime the British committed in this country, after Colonialism, is the amalgamation. The forceful alignment of strange bed fellows will never allow this country work. This country will always be analyzed via ethnic, religion and cultural ethos.

Don't take my word for it, ask Awolowo.

Now you are beginning to see reasons that INEC conducts will to an extent determine the outcome of a suit esp after elections

More reasons they are part of the suit to give reasons why the court should upheld the elections they conducted

It's advisable that when you can't continue with engagements of ideas , you quit the discuss than going so low with abuse


It's a trait with those who are lacking ingredients of robust discuss

Did you travel to planet Mars when Aisha said it and handed the man over to DSS.

senatorbayor:
Your last paragraph shows your level of reasoning while home and dry...

Nice that you've been schooled on process of election in those countries you admire their type of democracy

As long as those states in the U.S didnt use incidence report, we also must work towards it than doing the old way and seeking new result.
Cheers
