PDP is purging itself yet threw up an (inept) Idris Wada for governor when it has Echocho? This must be a joke I swear.

Kogi state is going going going......

I said "gradually is purging itself" which means it's a process. Had I said "fully, pdp has purged itself" it would've been a different thing. Please, read and digest

And now they're change agents and their sins have passed away.


Gradually, pdp is purging itself of all the old hands that brought us to this state while apc is absolving them, yet, we claim to be having change

Please, you guys should've taken easy with them cos to support apc you must sacrifice your senses.

Whatever you are actually seeing is a manifestation of the sacrifice the editor made in his drive to support buhari

Greyworld:


Spiteful!

na me you dey talk to?

Mere commissioner trying to make the news........................ no allow el rufai catch you there.




Abeg, who knows where tinubu is? I heard the family has declared him missing Since the day he realised that saharareporters is not nigeria

President and vice president laughing out loud while mere commissioner is on errand

Buhari will be recognised with the image of a man missing his way in aso rock; confused man.

Just like buhari, oliseh got the mantle by destroying his predecessor's foundation with so many unrealistic theories. Same way buhari started with too much fight was how oliseh started.

The end result of it all is failure.


The pitch shows that our players are not even serious and musa is looking too overwhelmed with that captain's band.

I've so much heard about this lejja and I think I won't fail to visit that place before the year runs out

Amaechi trying to trash whatever allegation against him is same as trashing the oxygen that emanates from his nostrils, he breathes corruption.

He can't just do away with it cos it is his life. Period!

The problem of oshiomole is that he needed international attention desperately prompting to marry an international ashewo who he mistook for the kardashians, that one didn't work.

Again, he thought it right the another way to achieve his desire is to look for a known international figure and pick up a fight with the person, in that regard so many people will notice him. This made him to start to misguided attacks on okonjo iweala but it seemed it's not gonna work again.

Same he did when world attention was placed on jonathan, he tried sneak into the focus with his unprofessional remarks on the person of gej, but immediately the attention was removed from gej oshiomole stopped attacking gej.

Just like the international celebrities draw attention with some sex related news, oshiomole came out to draw our attention with the news that his new ashewo was a virgin.

You guys should just giving the man attention already cos that's what he's aiming for

Now, your husband has finally learnt that nigeria is not an empire he can just colonise by paying some media outlets.

More lessons will come soon when they will tell him that the services for which he was used is no longer needed.

Tinubu has minimal influence beyond his political empire, and he was given a little sense of belonging cos that his political empire was needed to add up to some votes.

By the next time, there won't be much need for that his empire and tinubu will soon be returned to his NADECO days or made chief editor att SAHARAREPORTERS

I'm waiting for amaechi to sue more people for 300billion naira like he did to obuah.

Who finally won the fight?


Can't wait to see sylva's fight with oshiomole

One thing I keep wondering is when did boko haram capture all the town our soldiers are just recapturing without a single shot.

I'm still aware that gej handed over a near-free country to buhari

Silently, it is beginning to dawn on the old man that we've gone past that era of dictatorship. If his "noisemakers" were clothed with "integrity" just like his saintly self, why trying to lobby the legislators again?

One funny thing about this whole thing is that we are gradually heading to "osun" without knowing it.

Since apc have explored the naivety in an average nigerian, they don't waste time or think twice in coming with one ridiculous tale or the other.

Just imagine what this old man is telling us

Our youths are massively loosing jobs in their working place while retiring fathers are being rewarded with appointments.

Anyway, I'm just imagining how lai mohammed will face saraki and pdp legislators.

Chukwudi44, Dino bagging chieftaincy title does not mean he is popular in his senatorial district, this title is just publicity stunt or what they called propaganda. Dino don't have electoral value in his constituency, he only won last election due 2 Buhari popularity and rigging. Smart Adeyemi of PDP won free and fair in those area, but the people of lokoja won't APC and Buhari so they rig it 4 Dino. And 2day he is going against the party.

so apc rig election?

Femi Adesina, the current Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity was the Editor of The Sun Newspapers as at the time of this publication. This article was first published on The Sun on Friday, August 16, 2013.
The opinions expressed in this article are solely those of the author.
This is what he wrote.Happy reading:
Former Kwara State governor and now senator representing Kwara Central, Dr. Bukola Saraki, was guest of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) earlier this week. According to reports, he was quizzed for many hours, and later allowed to go home.
What questions did Saraki have to answer? His role in the collapsed Societe Generale Bank of Nigeria, where he was an Executive Director, and where depositors lost money in billions. Again, he was said to have been grilled on how he managed the finances of Kwara State as a two-term governor.
Naturally, the fact that Saraki was quizzed by the EFCC should not have raised any dust. If he did things that demanded explanations while he held those two former positions, then he should be grilled. No one is above the law, and the fact that he is being questioned does not tantamount to automatic guilt.
But there is this buzz going round about Saraki and his role in the fuel subsidy payments saga. Last year, he had raised a motion in the Senate, seeking an investigation into the N240 billion budgeted in the 2011 Appropriation Act for fuel subsidy. Some people say it has put him permanently in the Black Book of certain powerful forces in government.
Saraki, chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology, had pointed out that the sum of N240 billion had been budgeted to subsidize petroleum products in 2011, but that more than N1.2 trillion was actually spent by the end of that year. The disclosure sparked off spiral effects, leading to the prosecution of a number of oil marketers today.
But in Nigeria, whistleblowers often land in trouble, particularly when the whistling is against the Establishment. Stories making the rounds say Bukola Saraki is now paying the price for not learning to keep his leaking mouth shut. That is why first the Special Fraud Unit (SFU) of the Nigeria Police was first unleashed against him, and now the EFCC.
Now, let’s look at the content of the squeal by Saraki, for which he’s paying dearly today. His motion stated that the sum of N771 billion was spent, which was 700% above the budgeted sum for subsidy in 2011. He added that if the trend continued, N1.2 trillion would have been spent by just one agency of government in one year, exceeding the total capital budget of N1.1 trillion for that fiscal year.
As if determined to talk himself into trouble, Senator Saraki suggested the setting up of a committee to investigate how the excess funds were sourced. He added that although N20 billion was set aside for subsidy on monthly basis in the 2011 Appropriation Act, a total sum of N165 billion was expended in August 2011 alone, out of which NNPC got N88 billion, and independent marketers got N77.6 billion.
Again, he observed that although N240 billion was budgeted for the entire year, N391 billion had been spent at August ending.
Saraki had asked for trouble, and he got it. He had unsettled a colony of wasps, and he was about to be stung till kingdom come.
Based on his motion, civil rights activists and other Nigerians put pressure on the Federal Government, which eventually asked the EFCC to investigate the matter, and prosecute those culpable. A number of those fingered in the shady deals are on trial today.
And did Saraki live happily ever after? The buzz claims that it was when his troubles began. The SFU was first sent after him, and he was declared wanted for his roles in the mismanagement of the Societe Generale Bank of Nigeria (SGBN), which had led to the license of the financial outfit being withdrawn in 2005.
Again, this week, the EFCC struck. After a disquieting lull in the activities of the commission, it suddenly remembered that Saraki was there, and pulled him in for questioning on Monday. Is the EFCC on to something concrete, or is this part of the classic way in which government hounds its opponents?
I admit. Depositors lost billions in SGBN, and I remember that the then Kwara State governor, Mohammed Lawal (now deceased) had said the money was deployed by the Saraki family to unseat him from office, and plant Bukola in power.
But it is now 10 years since the man became governor, and eight years since the bank crumbled. Is it not long enough to put a closure to the matter? How long did it take to investigate Bernard Madoff over his Ponzi scheme, through which he defrauded people of billions of dollars in the U.S?
Why then is the SGBN matter a kind of albatross hung round Saraki’s neck anytime he talks or acts out of turn? Nigeria should really learn to do things differently.
While serving as governor, it was said that Saraki waived his immunity, and allowed himself to be questioned on the SGBN matter. So, why is there nothing conclusive yet?
And if the man fiddled with the money of the state he governed, he has been out of office for more than two full years. Is it not long enough a time to build a watertight case and haul him before the courts?
If Saraki did not talk out of turn on petroleum subsidy, would he not be in the good books of the government today? Or does he have more information on the subsidy scam that some people are afraid of? That is the bane of our country. You are chummy with the powers-that-be only if you don’t rock the boat. If you do, a price is put on your head. This country sef!

Can't osun state chapter of APC pretend to be reasonable for once?

Anytime the question of who is behind the abduction of Chibok girls is asked, I remember the poem, Mr. Nobody which we recited back then in primary school. Spare my memory; it’s been a while since I left primary school. With the risk of infringing on copyright, I narrate the poem, as I can still vividly remember the first verse:

I know a funny little man,

As quiet as a mouse,

Who does the mischief that is done

In everybody’s house!

There’s no one ever sees his face,

And yet we all agree

That every plate we break was cracked

By Mr. Nobody

I have done my very best to find out who the author of this poem is to no avail. These lines may be the important clue to deciphering the “abductor” of the Chibok Girls, and the author of the group campaigning for the rescue of the kidnapped girls.

I have written in my earlier articles about Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and his ambition to lead Nigeria at all cost, come 2019. In one case, I warned Nigerians to watch out for the danger the man portends, should he become the President of Nigeria. He will climb any mountain; travel any distance or even dig deep into the lowest valley for him to achieve his ambition. This much I know about El-Rufai.

No one should be under any illusion anymore about the fiction known as Chibok Girls and their kidnap. The politicians from Northern extraction fed us with this “gospel” since last year and we took it hook, line and sinker. Little did we know that the mastermind of the whole script was the man known publicly as El-Rufai. He was the “abductor” of the girls on the one hand and the campaigner for their release on the other hand. He is the one the poet in the poem was referring to when he said, “Who does the mischief that is done / In everybody’s house! / There’s no one ever sees his face,”

Invariably, he is the accuser and the judge at the same time. This only convinces me just how much we underestimate people like El-Rufai.

Even if some people take the aforementioned statements of mine with a wave of the hand, some of the things I will reveal later in this article must be enough to convince even the most ridiculous of all doubting Thomases about the notoriety of this our able Mr. Nobody. Recall, Mr. Nobody is the mischief-maker just to achieve his own selfish ambition.

Mallam El-Rufai’s political appointments since he became Governor of Kaduna state have had their best share of controversies. My previous articles have properly documented the intrigues in his appointment of characters like Jimi Lawal, a well-known scammer and fraudster, as Special Assistant on Investment. For time and space, I will not retell those here. His more recent controversial appointment which confirms El-Rufai’s role in the whole Chibok Girls’ saga is his appointment as Chief of Staff Madam Hadiza Bala-Usman, the co-founder of the notorious #BringBackOurGirls group that made things difficult for former President Jonathan.

A curious observer is made further confused by the fact that apart from the fact that Ms Hadiza is a known All Progressive Congress (APC) supporter, like Mr Jimi Lawal, she is not from Kaduna. Although, a little bit of clarity may present itself when one finds out that Ms Hadiza did not just start doing hatchet jobs for El-Rufai. As a matter of fact, she stood as El-Rufai’s chief agent during the APC primaries in Kaduna. Any curious observer will immediately see the connection… Ms Hadiza is now being handsomely rewarded for her labour of love and for properly acting out her part of the whole Chibok Girls fiction.

Hadiza it was whom El-Rufai introduced to Nuhu Ribadu and encouraged the relationship aimed at marriage. Mallam El–Rufai graciously gave three plots of land to Nuhu in Hadiza’s name just to encourage the relationship. Eventually, Nuhu escaped for his dear life during Yar’Adua/Jonathan administration.

Hadiza developed one and sold the other. By the time Ribadu came back, so much water had passed under the bridge with Hadiza getting married to somebody else. That marriage didn’t last because of the incursion of the overbearing influence of Mallam El-Rufai. Today, El-Rufai is beginning to discover the treasure within and we hear that Hadiza may likely be a waiting bride for Mallam in the next few months.

In addition to being the Chief of staff to Governor El-Rufai’s led government, Hadiza has earned herself the membership of the Presidential Committee on Anti-Corruption headed by Sagay.

At this point let us introduce another character into our story; Ms Oby Ezekwezili. Having lost her hold on power since her stint with the Obasanjo administration and with no other route into the World Bank’s complex bureaucratic structure, she gladly accepted to play a major role for El-Rufai who had previously paid off her mortgage with Zenith Bank through Jim Ovia and Godwin Emefiele by joining and ultimately leading the #BringBackOurGirls group. Mind you, being an indigene of Imo state played in her favour. El-Rufai, being a smart man, only made Ms Hadiza the founder and Ms Ezekwezili the convener, so that the group is not seen as a Northern ploy against President Jonathan, a southerner. The role of the former Minister of Mines and Solid Minerals is therefore very clear in that regard. Whoever says el-Rufai is not smart needs to invent another meaning for that word.

Let’s now close the circle: “Madam Due process” as Ms Ezekwezili is sometimes called, understood every word in her job description and knew that no mistakes would be permissible under her new appointment. We are all witnesses to how she did her job well and the attendant drama that followed each speech she gave. She is every day on social media campaigning for the release of the missing girls. The matter climaxed in the week to the presidential election when Madam Due process’ voice was loudest. In a typical and predictable way, she suddenly became dumb after General Buhari of the APC was sworn in. No one has heard about Chibok Girls or the notorious group led by Madam ‘Due Process’ ever since, all thanks to Mr. Nobody!

At this point, let us look at some unusual coincidences. Just recently, President Buhari had a scheduled meeting with the notorious #BringBackOurGirls group. Should anyone be surprised it was just after that day that the Boko Haram became bolder. They demanded that the Buhari government negotiate with them. One of the conditions which the government appeared to have accepted now is the release of Boko Haram prisoners for the kidnapped girls. What was El-Rufai and Oby’s response to this?

Rather than focusing on his immediate task of governance, he has been more preoccupied witch-hunting a former minister under the GEJ Administration. Perhaps, someone should help us tell Mallam Nasir to stop all this attention-seeking tactics and focus on the more serious business of governance. Is he so bent on outshining his bosses, President Buhari inclusive? Why trying to make the President look inadequate? That still reminds me, why is it every time El-Rufai does something no matter how negligible, he beckons to the press to show off? Are we as a people now celebrating mediocrity in the name of performance?

If truth must be told, it is imperative we probe deeply the true intentions of El-Rufai and his relationship with Oby and the #BringBackOurGirls group.

Wow! I am SHOCKED to hear this commentary about Obiano's performance, as I was under the impression that he's putting up a sterling performance thus far.

we just thank God that obi left the state at a strong point if not by now we would be crying like osun people. The man is busy working on billboards allocating obi's projects to himself while the wife is moving about looking for the next woman she would fight with in the market.

afroniger:
FreeGlobe must not hear this o, that you are comparing a whole Fash to Peterson Obi? . Even Obiano sef don dey outshine Obi not to talk of Fash who oversaw the administration of the mega city that is Lag.

one person said that since obiano became a governor that the only thing he's been improving on is his bleaching cream. Oga, let's not bring that drunkard into this discussion biko. Obiano is another rochas in the making but you know we dont take rubbish in anambra so we are just waiting for. Another election

let's forget about the media hype, tribalism and other primordial things. Going by what this two did in their states with various circumstances, opportunities and resources at their disposal, who could be adjudged the better administrator.

why are the same people who condemned and accused gej of witch-hunting saraki now praising others for fighting saraki?

I get family law tmao
