As if which party was busy instigating violence in nigeria before and after election.......

............. Smh, this dogs forget so soon




Beside pdp will be a better opposition that willnt strive on lies and violence like apc did

It is people like you that fails to face the reality of life or. (Misinformed) that usually make statements that instigate violence. What Oyegun said did not warrant your kind of reaction. 'Cause if APC was not swift at stopping what people tagged EXODUS Of the PDP perhaps the party would have been forgotten by now which shows the un-serious nature of members. And they would have gone to the APC to mess things up and Flee again. PDP was not found on any political ideology.

For dividend of democracy to get to the people of this country, there must be other people playing the watch-dog role. The PDP should have understood that they needed to stay to rebuild the party instead of moving en-mass. They are disgraceful.

These are phobias that your President concedes to, how much more you the followers. It is called "APCphobia" and you can only be free by March28 when GEJ will be shown his way to otueke to continue his ogogoro.



#IrepCHANGE

No matter what the clueless does, we have all feBuhari and right now we will MarchBuhari to Aso Rock


Jonathan and PDP are currently infected with a disease called "Tinubuphobia" the therapy is March28

What do you expect of a so called man of God who's flying around the world with private jet and his congregation have majority of poverty ravaged people.

Secondly, whose private jet has become an extension of aircrafts of the federal government. MAN! MAN!! MAN!!! If Jesus should come today, will he meet believers? If a so called man of God is using the names God to advocate and support corruption.

Yoruba Ronu, Nigeria masun, odo mgbarere loooooo, araba tunramu. I rep change

Koolmexxi:
But wait ooooo, isn't this the same Buhari dat contested the last elections How was he cleared then if he didn't qualify??

The truth is the clamor for change was not as high as it is today, failures are always afraid of change because of misconceptions.

Now they know that GMB pose a serious threat to their chances of rigging in "FeBuhari Valentine". Nigerians was last united for a course as this since 1993 and that is why you see Papa Deceive Pikin, PDP party trying in their usual chameleon manner to deceive Nigerians but this time they have failed.

These actions are defeatist actions.

NnamdiN:
I so much dislike these apc people

Don't trade your future for Peanut, seat at the comfort of your home and examine your life, perhaps you are a graduate and all the GEJ administration can offer you is online advocacy for his selfish ambition or

You are still seeking admission to one of the higher institutions and instead of you to be allowed to read extensively to pass your exams or provide a more conducive environment for learning, you are hereby hired to be attacking people for a mega penny. It will not take you anywhere than where you are. GEJ has made countless number of failed promises. As a youth, I mobilized vigorously for him in 2011 but today I dare not because the fresh air we wanted to see is not forthcoming.

Wake-up!!! The change has come... Don't say I don't warn you, there is nothing good about Jonathan. GMB I rep...

Wetin dem dey talk sef. If pikin sabi die for dry season d mama go get sense bury am for wet spot. Nothing spoil let them increase it to 1 million per MW to discourage the masses. Or blind the masses but soon the effort shall turn to charity.

OBJ: He performed below expectations, his
government is evil.

Prof Tam David West: Jonathan is too
inexperienced to be president

Chief Bisi Akande: Jonathan's is a Kindergarten
Presidency

Prof. Oyebode of Unilag: He is an embarrassment

Chief Christopher Kolade: He is a Kano dancer. He
is not a good leader.

Prof. Wole Soyinka: He is King Nebuchadnezzar
(destroyer of Jerusalem).

Pastor Tunde Bakare: Nebuchadnezzar is too mild.
He is King Jeroboam.

Gov. Obiano: His tenure is bad. He is not the right
person for this country.

Don Jazzy: I Regret Campaigning and Voting for
Goodluck Jonathan

Lagbaja: For Electing Jonathan Nigeria is a
Country of100 Million Mumus

If anybody Thinks All These People are Wrong that person
Need a mental overhaul. You can't continue to do one thing same
way and expect a different result . Let's support change by voting out
the corrupt regime .

Nigerians cannot ask for more considering the height of corruption at the corridor of power, considering the high level insecurity that is rocking our country, Nigeria definitely needs a man of integrity, a man that has never rub his name in mud, a team player, a man that knows what. Change truly means, irrespective of the status, colour, tribe or religion Nigeria need a true transformer. The man is. Buhari the true change.

seanet02:
Tinubu is the most tactical politician in Nigeria.

No more, no less. Omo j'omo lo

If his generation was given the chance to prove themselves even by the people that fought for the independent of our country, it means they believed they are the future. Why then is his own generation not paving way for the next generation to determine the future?

If indeed they have contributed their quota, then they should vacate for up coming generations to rule their world and stop injecting poison into our national life.

The only thing that explains this is failure, Jonathan is a failure.

We know that all federal forces and institutions are extension of the PDP. All these activities are clear indications of intimidation by the party at the center.

But no matter the level of unlawful behavior, Nigerians will never be coerce against their wish and their recent attitude is an indication of how they are planning to silent the opposition. This is definitely not good for our democracy.

It is not far fetch. We shall know the reaction of electorates if only the wishes of the electorates will be allowed to prevail.

It will be wrong for anybody to assert that the present administration is the best that has ever happen to this nation since independent because Nigerians have never had it this tough.

The nation is bleeding with incessant killings. Corruption is at top gear with ICPC, EFCC and Co no longer seeing anything.

Obasanjo is an elder stateman who was there and can still see when and where things are going wrong. We should not be under any illusion, the democracy we celebrated some years back has declined drastically particularly under GEJ administration. Nigeria has lost its place in the committee of Nations but some of these truth about ourselves are being replaced with fallacy certainly for the extortions of the western world.

It is in our own interest to take issues the way they are perhaps to avoid a looming national disaster. PDP and Doyin Okupe should see beyond seating in Aso Rock Villa and read press statements. Nigerians are going through a very difficult moment, we are face with blink economic and social cultural future.

Something convincingly positive must be done and urgently too.

BIG liar!! Let him die for his children and not the stability of Nigeria's democracy.

If he truly meant well for the stability and sustenance of democracy, he should step down and allow other more experienced people to contribute their quota.

Nigerian development is not embedded in just an individual, we all have something to offer.

THIEF! OLE!! BARAWO!!!

welcome home boy

Action Gomina wa!!! Eko o ni baje oo...

All Progressives Congress (APC) National Secretary Alhaji Mai Mala Buni spoke with TONY AKOWE on the challenge of producing a credible and nationally acceptable presidential flag bearer at the presidential primaries.

We want to have a brief of your background before becoming the National Secretary of the APC.

I was the pioneer state chairman of the ACD, which later became the AC and later, the ACN. Thereafter, I joined the ANPP and I was appointed the Secretary General of the campaign organisation of the governor of Yobe State in 2011. After the elections, I was appointed the Political Adviser to the government. After the merger, I became the protem secretary of the APC in Yobe State and later, the state Chairman after the congresses. I the process of coming to the convention to elect our national leaders, I emerged as the National Secretary of the party. I came to the convention as a delegate because I was the state chairman of the party and I was elected the National Secretary. We thank God that people have made a lot of sacrifice to make the APC what it is today because it is not easy for existing political parties to come together to merge and abandon their status to form a formidable opposition party which is unprecedented in the history of this country.

Could you shed light on the sacrifices by the party leaders?.

When you look at the history of political parties in Nigeria, you will discover that it has always been winner takes all and this has always militated against the coming together of people to serve the country. If you are not in the party of the government of the day, then, you cannot anywhere close to power or contribute your idea towards anything. So, the coming together of political parties is as a result of the problems militating against the development of the country. If you look at the country, you will discover that instead of moving forward, the country is always sliding. So, those who have the interest of the country at heart knew how the country was and how it is now. So, there was no way ANPP as a party or the CPC or the ACN or the APGA as a party would go it alone and form a government. That is what has been the bane of the opposition and what the PDP has been exploiting to rule this country and what they have exploited to remain in power all these years. They keep using divide and rule, sometimes interfering in the affairs of some smaller parties so that they will not be strong enough to challenge them. So, the coming together of the opposition is what Nigerians have been yearning for because after every general election, people keep complaining and asking questions as to why the opposition are not coming together to form a formidable force that can challenge the PDP. There were series of attempt in the past be these leaders to come together, but that never yielded any result due to one reason or the other. This time, it has materialised and now, people have realised that the PDP is on its toe and for the first time in its history, it is now on the defensive because they have seen the hand writing clearly. They have now seen that the various political parties have come together and are ready to take over the country in 2015.

Many have alleged that the key leaders agreed to come together because they feel that it will be easier to realise their presidential ambition?

Those who consistently want to remain in power are regarded by people as ‘Any Government in Power (AGIP).’ You can be AGIP to remain in the corridors of power, but that is not enough. If you are in politics for self interest, you can join the PDP and continue to remain in the system. But this one is out of patriotism. Looking at how the country is, the present situation is nothing to write home about because when you look at the development in this country, you will agree with me that the coming together of these gentlemen, the commitment and the sacrifices involved justify the fact that it is not for their selfish interest. If it were in their own interest, somebody like Chief Bisi Akande has been the Chairman of the AC and then the ACN and was the Interim Chairman of the APC. Chief Tony Momoh was the Chairman of the CPC, while Chief Ogbonnaya Onu was the Chairman of the ANPP. They cannot just sacrifice their offices as Chairmen of their various parties for other reasons apart from being patriotic and making sacrifice for the country. They made sacrifice for the betterment of the country. That is what keeps amazing the people because something like this has never happened in this country for people to voluntarily relinquished their positions to merge. That was not an easy task. It takes a lot of courage, patriotism and sacrifice.

What is the strong point of the APC, ahead of next year’s elections?

We have our manifesto, which we will soon lunch and make available to the public. I don’t want to pre-empt anything. So, let us get to the bridge before crossing it. We will make it public at the appropriate time because this is a very organised political party. We are not just saying anything that we cannot do. we want to have on record, things that this party intends to do. we are also going to translate it to all major tribes of the country so that anybody who can read in such languages can read and understand what this party stands for and what we will do in the event that this party wins election.

As the National Secretary of the main opposition party, what is the major challenge of your office?

The world is a classroom where everybody has something to teach and something to learn. Political party is not a technocracy, but strictly political. You bring in your own ways of playing politics and put it together with that of others to make it work. It is not something that you arrogate to yourself the full knowledge of things. In politics, things don’t work like that because it is not like the civil service or running a company. This is a political party where you have divergent views, opinions and ideas which you must bring to bear. The fact that I am the National Secretary does not mean that I am the most knowledgeable person in the party or the most competent person in the party. This is a political party where you are dealing with divergent views and opinion which you must galvanise to do the right thing. You have to be strictly guided by rules and regulations of the party so as not to derail.

In less than one year, the party is going for a constitutional amendment. Don’t you think that it is too early to do that?

Even, Nigeria’s constitution is being debated everyday and some portions of it is being amended. As long as people live together, there will always be clamour for changes. The constitution is made by people and whenever it is realised that something is bringing impediment, you have to come together and take another look at it. That is why you don’t just amend your constitution at the NWC or at NEC. You have to go to the convention where everybody will be involved. That is why the constitution is the statute book that guide the operations of the party. That is why anything that will be done that is not within the expectations of that party has to give way to the expectations of the people. This is because what is supreme always in politics is the wish of the people. You have to carry along the thinking of the people as part of your operational strategies. Looking at political parties, you will discover that a party is operated by the people, who belong to a party they think meet their expectations. That is what governs the party and anything that stands between the running of the party and the wishes of the people has to be looked into at any point in time. That necessitates constitutional review.

Does the amendment has anything to do with the presidential primaries?

It is the processes. Anything that serves as impediment to any of our operations has to be looked into.

Don’t you see the governors playing a domineering role at the primaries?

The APC respects the governors being the leaders of the party in their respective states. When you look at the Nigerian constitution very carefully, you will know what it takes to be a governor and you will know the strength of the office of a governor. However, I don’t know the situation under which the President made his remark. What I am saying however is that governors are leaders of the party. That is why, in all our organs, the governors are members. They are members of the caucus, the BOT and the NEC. So, you can see how important their position is to the party.

Has the APC fully maximised the advantage of the defection of five governors into the fold?

To my mind, the major milestone in our politics is the merger, which was unprecedented. Right from the first republic, there was never a time political parties merged. There use to be alliances which often collapse. But for political parties to merge and form and form one single formidable opposition party has never happened until the merger that gave birth to APC. So, when you look at it carefully, you will not be surprised about the defection of the seating governor from the PDP the APC. This is also the first time in the history of this country that seating governors from the ruling party will defect to opposition party. That goes to tell you how the country is suffering. If things are going well, how can seating governors defect to opposition party to fight the ruling party to form government. If the merger was for selfish interest, a seating governor in the PDP, which is the ruling party, for whatever selfish interest, will not contemplate defecting from the PDP because it is not all of them that can be president. They are already comfortable in the PDP as the government in power and didn’t need to join the opposition to try and form government. You just said that the President said that the governors are very powerful. Of course, a PDP governor with a PDP President is already powerful enough. So, why should he defect to the opposition? These are certain things that we must take into consideration and this should be the barometer to really measure if the heartbeat of the country is normal. We all know that the heart beat is not normal and that this country is desirous of change. Even if you refuse to defect, the people of this country will leave you and vote you out by 2015 because people are ready to vote out the PDP at all levels no matter the position you occupy. No matter who you are, you either defect to the APC or the people will vote you out.

Some people defected from the APC, following the defection of the governors to the party. If you look at both sides, would say the APC has lost or gained?

The APC has tremendously gained from the defections. The APC has made history because it is now on record that sitting governors from the PDP which is the ruling party defected to join the APC. You just described it as a milestone and I agree with you and added that the merger is also a milestone. What has happened has satisfied even the thinking of a layman. In this regard, we are talking about the electorates or the Nigerian people. The layman now knows that the PDP is not a party to belong to. If a seating governor can defect to the opposition to fight the PDP, that goes to show that the PDP is a sinking ship.

What does the APC intends to do differently, in terms of funding the party?

Are we in charge of the Central government? When you are talking about funding, I don’t know what you mean do you mean the governor giving us money as a party? Don’t you know that we sell forms to run the party? We are also doing a lot of activities to generate funds. Don’t see it as if we are solely depending on governors to give us money. Moreover, didn’t you read it in the papers that the PDP government is depriving APC governors of funds? So where is the money for the APC to rely on? We are not relying on the governors for funds.

We heard that some aspirants of the party are insisting on choosing the presidential candidate through consensus while others are insisting on primaries. Which option is the party settling for?

All the options are open, but it is not a crime, if a candidate emerge through consensus at any level. Don’t restrict it to the Presidential contest. Even if any candidate emerge through consensus, we will still have to go ahead to fulfil the constitutional provision of electing the person. There is no restriction as to how the candidate will emerge. If for whatever reason, any candidate emerge as a consensus candidate either as a senator, member of the House of Representative, as a governor or as a president, it will be a welcome development.

Majority of party leaders attended the Presidential declaration of Gen. Buhari as against that of Atiku Abubakar…

No, I don’t think you should look at it that way because I represented the party in all declarations. I led some officers of the party to Atiku’s declaration and I did the same at Buhari’s declaration. I will also represent the party when any other person wants to declare for the Presidency with some officers. So, it is not a sense of partiality. As a party, we have agreed to go about it that way because we know that people would want to see the face of the party at such events. I was mandated by the party to represent the party in all, declarations.

Alhough the party has not adopted zoning for the presidential seat, there seems to be only aspirants from the North contesting the position. Nigerians wants to know whether the party was formed to unseat the PDP or to take power back to the North?

It is not about producing a northern or southern president. We want to produce a Nigerian President. We want to produce a President who will work for the country, sacrifice himself for the country and be selfless in discharging his responsibilities and who will be acceptable to every Nigerian as an upright person who can fight corruption and bring development. That is what we want and not about the South or the North.





Let me tell you that the level of poverty and degradation and impoverishment in this country has no boundary of south or north, Christian or Muslim. We are all suffering and nobody is left out. Everybody is desirous of change and that is why the APC is poised to produce the best President for this country. We want to have somebody who will fight corruption because it is the major dent of this country that is under developing the country. We want somebody who can fight the insecurity and restore peace, harmony and tranquility in all communities. This is our hope and I don’t think we will now restrict this to either south or north. These are political boundaries. However, I think that this question should have been directed at the PDP why they have it in their constitution that positions should be zoned. This is not existing in the APC for now. APC is poised to give the best President who will be read to address the problem militating against the development of Nigeria. This is our common problem and it is our common challenge. So, it is not about where the person comes from.


Could you shed light on the activities of the APC The party has a reconciliation committee?


Politics brings about agreements and disagreement most often. That is the reason why you have the reconciliation committee in place. Where ever you have disagreement, the committee will now swing into action to reconcile the various groups. We have reconciled so may groups and people. I cannot give you names, but anybody that is aggrieved, we have reached out to them with a view of reconciling them. Anyone who says we have not reached out to him is being mischievous maybe because his mindset has been on leaving the party. There is nothing you can do to bring such people back into the party because he has made up his mind to leave. This party has achieved a lot in its reconciliatory efforts and by the grace of God, this party has come to stay because we have crossed so many huddles. Some predicted that the merger will not hold; but today, they are ashamed that the merger is a success. Again they predicted that the convention will be the end of the party. We held it and produced leaders for the party. These are things that we are conscious of and we are very sure that the party has come to stay because the party is the only vehicle that can be used to deliver the goods to the people. The APC is ready for that and will ensure a level playing field for all our aspirants to showcase their potentials for Nigerians to see their quality and vote them into power at all levels. So, I have no doubt in my mind that we have all it takes to win elections by 2015.

Nigerian Human Rights Community (NHRC) rally against misrule, terrorism and bad governance in Lagos today. Over 5000 members and leaders of civil society took part in the raly that took Ikeja, Lagos axis by storm.

Aye Dee is just another fraudster that specializes on defrauding intellectual capacities to get attention. This will not work this time, we know your tricks.

Nigeria has been described as one of the worst places to grow old, this is according to an index of the quality of later life in 96 countries.

HelpAge International’s Global AgeWatch Index measures the social and economic welfare of those over 60 in its latest report released on Tuesday.

HelpAge International is an organisation committed to helping older people to claim their rights, challenge discrimination and overcome poverty, so they can lead dignified, secure, active and healthy lives.

The report published on the United Nations International Day of Older Persons, ranks Nigeria at 85th position out of 96 countries.

“Nigeria ranks 85 on the overall Global AgeWatch Index. Its highest rank is in the capability domain (47), with a lower than regional average for the employment indicator (70.6%) and a higher than regional average for educational attainment (17.4%).

“Nigeria ranks low in the enabling environment domain (75) and below the regional average for civic freedom (53%) and satisfaction with public transport (42%). Its rank for the health domain is very low (88) and it has a below regional average for the life expectancy at 60 indicator. It ranks lowest on the income security domain (90), with very low pension income coverage (5%) and GDP per capita (US$ 2,254),” the report noted.

The HelpAge listed Ekiti and Osun as the only states in the country providing social pensions to older people. It added that only five per cent of people over 65 currently receive pension in Nigeria.

Commenting on the employment of older people, the organisation noted that 70 per cent of the population aged 55-64 are employed, adding that the indicator measures older people’s access to the labour market and their ability to supplement pension income with wages, and their access to work-related networks.

According to the report, the employment rate is a proxy for the economic empowerment of older people in the country.

Why would Chief Adebanjo not support GEJ failures like other beneficiaries, the old man was able to bank over 16million unexpectedly and been part of a conference as conferred by the federal government and not the people's conference.

What the APC is agitating for is a Sovereign National Conference and not as in-vogue by GEJ administration. If the CONFAB was not another political gimmicks from GEJ why would it take another 4 years for the recommendations to be implemented? why should we keep the solution to our problems for another day if we are sincere with the claim to have the solution? Is he deliberately putting this nation through the rigors of national insecurity, high level of corruption, perverse hunger and looting the treasury through so many means just for self satisfaction?

Adebanjo should be reminded that we are in new era. The era that things are done differently and the need for GEJ administration to be swift not on looting and stealing only but also on issues that bothers on national interest if not the revolution that so many people not foreseeing will be a shock when it will start.

Prominent voices from Northern Nigeria have replied President Goodluck Jonathan’s self appraisal in his Independence Day address, where he said, he has performed well in the last five years of his government.

They disagreed with the President on the claim, saying he has failed woefully with his inability to put his feet on the ground and deal with those who had been the cog in the will of Nigeria’s progress.

The northern public also faulted the celebration of the country’s independence, saying only those looting the nation’s treasury had reasons to celebrate.

Shehu Sani, a prominent human rights activist, said, “The Jonathan administration has been able to appease the yearning of people of South South to produce the President of Nigeria. But all that has is that he ended up enriching a gang of militants and he has become so inept and incapable of prosecuting corruption.

“The nation has never been divided like we have been under Goodluck Jonathan and the worst of all today, we are faced with a serious problem of insurgency and kidnapped to which the reputation of his government damaged.

“The President has failed woefully, especially with his inability to put his feet down and deal with some certain persons in his government who had been seen to be cog in the will of Nigeria’s progress.”

On the nation’s independence, he said, “You can categorize Nigeria’s history into four segments namely the colonial era, democratic era, military rule, civil war and now insurgency. To assess the journey so far, you can also sub divide it into three or four sub sections.

“You can assess the journey so far politically, economically, socially and the journey so far historically. Politically, you can say that we have spent most of our period of independence under military rule and that had denied Nigerians the opportunity to rise and fall and learn from the democratic process.

“The military rule was a period characterized by human right violations, tyranny, depression and unaccountable government. It was also a period of political prosecution. The military rule was an aberration, it was a moment in which individuals took up arms against the will and the constitution of the country and impose themselves as political leaders. In the process, they amass wealth, stylishly the socio-political and economic development of the country.

The Spokesman of Northern Elders’ Forum, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, said, “There is nothing to say than telling Nigerians that there is no reason to celebrate Nigeria at 54.

While, a former federal lawmaker, Dr. Junaid Mohammed, said, “Nigeria is not in the right direction towards development. We are only in the direction towards mayhem and confusion, poverty, corruption and irresponsible governance. Therefore, there is nothing celebrate about our being 54. And those who go out of their way to loot our treasury to celebrate know within themselves that, there is nothing to celebrate.”

aljharem: Obj better sticks with PDP unless he wants to go back to his vomit.

Anyway APC is full of disgruntled, pained politicians so I wouldn't be surprise if baba goes to apc

Baba ti O ma wo ara e si le, omo a rin fin

Your contribution on NL have shown lack in ideas you are...gush. you open your mouth and vomit so many unkept and unguided statements no wonder you are listed among the unreal identity on this platform yesterday

vemmawealth: Am sure you think nobody hates GEJ. Continue to live in fools' paradise. You will be shocked come 2015......Am an Ondo woman and I know what am talking about. Many of us have never met Gen Buhari or know him from anywhere. He does not know we exist or that we support him. We are also not politicians but we are mobilizing. You may ask why? Reason is simple.....we can no longer complain. we are tired of complaining from our bedroom when our husbands alone carries majority of the responsibilities. We want to up our own game but the system is bastardized thereby making it impossible to aspire as a woman.

We want genuine reform not the deceit being championed by PDP let Fed Govt. We dont want stomach infrastructure but genuine development and empowerment.

By their words you shall know them, they think MImiko is a plus to PDP on the contrary, he's a big MINUS for him to have joined the PDP shows that he's just over ambitious but never will the good people of Ondo state allow anybody to draw them back. The women will not allow it, the youths that have so far been denied basic amenities will not, the indigenous people which the dividends their endowed resources are used to enrich selected few and personal thirst will not allow it to happen.

Edo State embraced the change and have their lives transformed all round, Osun State embraced the change and came out of the dark days to limelight, Ondo have been denied the opportunity over the years but now it will come to pass

Manny have sold their future for just LUNCH, i was made to understand that Jonathan recruited some ND holder only to be given lunch after which they depart with 500 naira transport per day....

POVERTY!!! GEJ has finished this economy and return most of our youths to experience colonial era.

DON'T MORTGAGE YOUR FUTURE you are warned.

Even the moderator of this section is also in the payroll of GEJ that even the dull jonathan cannot be said here neither his daft level be expressed, may God help us.

Mimiko has always been a GEJ and by extension PDP loyalist. I am not surprised because in terms of policies and people oriented programs he's no where close to the progressives and one can conveniently say that the good people of Ondo State will definitely refute this action. They cannot afford to be taken backward 30years in just 4years.

This is an indication of a typical incompetence and lacking in capacity for human resources development which most of the PDP members criticize Ashiwaju Ahmed Tinubu on. Initially one would have thought that he (Mimiko) would transform Labour Party, LP to a formidable opposition just like the Action Congress, AC stood its grounds in the South West and began rigorous investment in human resources development which later brought about the expansion of AC that metamorphosized to ACN and now APC (the main opposition party in Nigeria).

Now, it is crystal clear that the actions of Mimiko for almost 8years now is nothing but a mere selfish, self enriching practices with little or no commitment to the people. He (Mimiko) benefited from the dividend of the human resource investment of the ACN but cannot build one that people can reckon with for the sustainability of the LP's programs and structures if they have any, rather he had fallen many fits backward by joining the PDP. Mimiko is definitely not a man of good legacies, the people know what is good for them.
