This oyegun issue has been over flogged. Tinubu know who is pulling the strings. But he won't dare mention Buhari, or else the entire bourdillion empire would crumble. Let him just go to the other room and chill.

When will maku stop telling lies?

I have always insisted that leadership makes the difference in any environment. Is this not the same cross river that Donald Duke transformed into the premier tourist destination in Nigeria? Ayade should seek the help he so badly needs.

Hon jibrin needs to grow up

I can't help feeling that whoever arranged for them to sit side by side was being mischievous...

Who Buhari picture don help? Abeg we are tired.

This Laura should go and get a job with her sister's influence, rather than shamelessly glory in the accomplishment of her elder sister. From the way she seeks attention and makes noise, one would think that she too has some achievement to her credit. Instead she is "just there "

Joe ABBA is a not very smart guy

When u have the wrong set of ministers ( most of whom are unknown), and you have failed to make substantive appointments ( even the efcc chairman is still acting) you cannot but have the wrong results. As much as I think Buhari is sincere, he must realise that failing to put round pegs in round holes will eventually result in his all round failure. Now more than ever before, he needs to reach out for the help which he desperately needs from competent professionals ( and nigeria parades an impressive pool of these), if he must reverse this ugly trend and not go down in history as serially incompetent leader. Whereas it is not too late to change things for the better, the patience of the populace wears thin...

[b][/b]why do people still go to zankli hospital in abuja? Don't the know it's a death trap? Zankli killed my best friend over a simple procedure than can be done in any regular hospital. Those who know zankli avoid it like a plague... The have brought sadness to many, many families. May the soul of their latest victim rest in peace. If u know anyone who uses zankli hospital... Stop them now

The national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, chief John Odigie-Oyegun turns 77 today. I pray that almighty God would give him, his party and the government, the wisdom and courage to always do the greatest good for the greatest number.

Leave the lawmaker alone. He has not raped anyone or committed any offence. His sexual preference is his business. It should not generate needless public attention.

See him big prick

Wait until u are married, then u can mind your marriage. For now, face your life and mind your own business.

Someone should advise the oni to come home and rule his people. The waka -waka is getting too much.

May God deliver rivers state from the hands of this tout

Aren't these the ancestors of the same set of people who have suddenly become very hypocritical of even the slightest show of "flesh "? The double standard is obviously fuelled by ignorance and a sense of inferiority. I am waiting for the "our young girls should cover up" crew to show up.

GudluckIBB:
Moro Overuled jonathan in immigration Employment scam

Allison overuled jonathan by increasing fuel on a new year day

Stella Odua Overuled jonathan in purchase of BMW cars

Okonjo overruled jonathan in not been able to save

Amechi overuled jonathan to share
Excess crude money


Now tell me Was this jonathan really in charge?

Buhari has not gotten it right and I pray he does very soon, but can somebody tell me of anyone who can overule Buhari in his cabinent?

To those who hates Buhari and has Something to say, remeber that senate and Abdumumuni inflatted the budget and insisted Baba must sign before they bring the original copy, Buhari insisted that "NO WAY" I must see what you people approved before I sign.


But if it was Mr Jona he would have been over ruled as well by senators.

Clueless Man! I'm very sure his cook, driver and gateman at home overules him.

Nonsense!

have u heard of a certain showdy figure called Mamman Daura? He absolutely runs the show. He is the chief decision maker in the government.

Following the inauguration of the APC government, Odigie-Oyegun became the object of several power intrigues in a telling confirmation of the saying that ‘uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.’ Odigie-Oyegun stood firm and in a way somehow won the confidence of the Buhari inner circle against the machinations set against him. Indeed, at the peak of the conspiracies against his chairmanship of the ruling party earlier this year, Odigie-Oyegun opted for a medical leave. His foes took it upon themselves to say that it was preparatory for what they described as a “soft landing.”

However, such suggestions seemed farfetched, as Odigie-Oyegun returned to office with great aplomb; physically and mentally reinvigorated for what some have described as the battle at home.

The APC national chairman is set to prove naysayers wrong with his determination to ensure a level playing ground in the primary contest in his native Edo State. His proclivity has not helped his poor standing with some political leaders in Edo who have through innuendoes derided his attempt to derail an agenda to predetermine the contest. Odigie-Oyegun it appears knows that whatever legacy he would leave in Abuja could be soiled by how he approaches the Edo election. It is thus not surprising that in the face of his strides, struggles and successes that he has sometimes excused himself from issues that have to do with Edo. But in the end, sooner or later, he would be returning home, and he knows that how he prepares his bed would indicate how he lies on it.http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/06/odigie-oyegun-cat-nine-lives/

Chief John Odigie-Oyegun is today being honoured as the Alumnus of the Year by the University of Ibadan Alumni Association. The honour which is reportedly the highest honour given by the association is undoubtedly reflective of the grit and grandeur with which the 76-year-old politician has bestrode the political space. A gentleman to the core, Odigie-Oyegun shows a refinement that captures the grace and polish that is reflective of the finest of human nobility. But as with every mortal, there is a dark side that the chief would always rue, maybe on account of his relationship with Muhammadu Buhari.


John Odigie-Oyegun
Few Nigerians would remember how almost thirty years ago how a Lagos High Court judge, Justice Yaya Jinadu opted to resign from the bench after Odigie-Oyegun, then a federal permanent secretary refused to give heed to the order of the court supposedly on the prompting of the Buhari led military junta of that time.

That blight was, however, of little consideration in 1991 when the people of the newly created Edo State were called upon to choose between Odigie-Oyegun and Chief Lucky Igbinedion, who had performed beyond expectation as chairman of Oredo Local Government Area, in Edo State in the governorship election. The electorate partly moved by the whispering campaign of a royal disapproval for Igbinedion swept Odigie-Oyegun to power to become the first elected governor of Edo State.

As governor, Odigie-Oyegun proved that his snub of the Lagos judiciary was not his style, and he subsequently endeared himself with democracy enthusiasts in his advocacy for the actualisation of the June 12, 1993, presidential election. On account of his June 12 advocacy, he went on exile returning home after Sani Abacha’s death. Though his party, the All Peoples Party, APP lost out in the presidential election, of 1999, Odigie-Oyegun proved his consistent self and refused to defect to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. He remains one of only a few leaders in the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, who were never part of the PDP.

However, he was not totally immune from the intrigues that played out in the opposition. His role, if any, in the conspiracy against Buhari in the ANPP in 2007 remains unclear. Willy-nilly of the smooth faces that they showed after seemingly selling him out, Buhari was said to have vowed to work only within ideological puritans in his future presidential quests, and hence his formation of the Congress for Progressives Change, CPC, the vehicle with which he prosecuted the 2011 presidential election. Despite the euphoria about the Buhari Phenomenon in much of the North that year, his bid was easily deflated without much organisation and money.

Odigie-Oyegun was not part of the ‘puritans’ that went with Buhari to the CPC. In fact, he was against Buhari in that election, having been running mate to Ibrahim Shekarau, the ANPP presidential candidate. Shekarau, many would also remember, came to political reckoning as governor of Kano State on the coattails of Buhari in 2003. That betrayal of Buhari by Shekarau remains a sour taste in Buhari’s mouth and it is doubtful if Buhari would ever forget if he forgives.

However, Buhari was a political realist. In 2014 as the political opposition assembled the machine to confront the PDP, Buhari did not raise an objection when his new political partner, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu fetched Odigie-Oyegun to become the substantive national chairman of the APC. Odigie-Oyegun was to subsequently hand Buhari his first election victory in life in March 2015. He did so without minding the fact that Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, the ultimate loser was also from his South-South geopolitical zone.

.Unemployment Crisis: Graduates Asked To Market Fresh Fish

This was on page 51 of the guardian of Tuesday may 17, 2016. Graduates were asked to apply for the position of "fresh fish marketers. In as much as this is a "job", it speaks volumes of the level to which we have descended as a nation.

The height of executive rascality and abuse of office. Shameful and meaningless. some governors no get sense at all. The state is not a personal enterprise and the governor is not a monarch.

Bro u have been seriously mislead by a senseless woman

Anybody can say anything

Many people still don't know this awesome fruit. It is truly wonderful, just

Good move, but should they win the case, exactly how r those uneducated nomads expected to raise 100bn? Maybe by ravaging more communities. This fulani nonsense must stop.
