Mmaria:Calm down oga. That is exactly what they are doing. Every meeting doesn't have to end in agreement immediately. They are still going to reconvene. |
ArodewilliamsT:And your point exactly? |
The meeting President Muhammadu Buhari held with the All Progressives Congress members in the House of Representatives on Monday failed to resolve the leadership crisis in the lower chamber of the National Assembly. At the end of the meeting which lasted about 20 minutes, members of the two factions in the House stuck to their different positions and interpreted the President’s message to them during the closed-door meeting in a manner that suited their camps. A mild drama played out as members of the different factions struggled to grant interviews to State House correspondent. The thrust of their positions was that the President directed them to remain with the party with a view to ensuring that the APC delivers the promised change to Nigerians. A leader of one of the factions and former Minority Leader, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, later told journalists that the meeting dwelt extensively on party supremacy, adding that before the end of the day, Nigerians would be briefed on the decision reached. He said, “We are still talking. But I think this is the first time everybody is coming together in a cordial atmosphere. We came together for the first time as one family, with a lot of camaraderie. I think we are almost at the point where all of these would be behind us, hopefully by tomorrow (Tuesday). “It is not about magic; it is about what should have been done a long time ago. We have finally sat down together and we will resolve it before the night, in a couple of hours. “The important thing is that the country wants to move ahead. The House wants to move ahead and the party wants to move ahead. Move ahead, we shall. “Whoever or whatever outside forces that might have been stoking the fire, I think we would put that to an end this evening at the meeting.” The National Chairman of the APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said the party would have a good news for the nation by Tuesday. Odigie-Oyegun said a lot was achieved during the brief meeting. The party chairman said, “Everything is upbeat. You can see that I am smiling. You will be very surprised that a lot was achieved in 20 minutes. “As the chairman of the party, I can say that there are no discordant tunes. You can see the Speaker of the House standing firmly besides me and I have a feeling that in another three or four hours and by tomorrow, we will have good news for the nation. “It is never too late to straighten the path.” The Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, said he had always remained on the side of the party. “I have always stood firmly by the party. There has never been a time that I never stood firmly by the party. “So, like my chairman has explained, we are going into consultations with the party and I am sure that sooner than later, we will have good news for Nigeria.” The meeting which was held inside the new Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, started at about 5.40pm and ended about 20 minutes after. Dogara and Gbajabiamila led their different groups to the meeting. Some members of the APC National Working Committee, led by their chairman, also attended. http://www.punchng.com/news/buhari-apc-reps-meeting-ends-in-deadlock/

I'm sure the president just rolled the one in his living room and used it for the occasion. That's cutting cost ![]() |
queenzibah:So clear to see we are not saying the same thing. Maybe you should provide the source where he has said he was going to appoint his son and those that favoured him, otherwise you are just plucking words out of the air. You may chose to deny as much as you want, Buhari remains your president unless you want to tell us that you are from Zimbabwe. |
queenzibah:I can see you are very bitter. You have no choice in this case. He is also your president as long as you remain a citizen in this country and I trust he will do what he's right by appointing the right set of people that will deliver. There is no point rushing GMB. We are behind your moves. |
queenzibah:We know you. |

Young03:U dey write jamb ![]() |
bigiyaro:Guy, relax. He will not mould anything. There are credible people out there. It is better to delay appointments to get the best than to recruit sycophants. |
madridguy:He is trying to block all the loopholes created by the previous administration even though some of our nairalanders here have headache with that. Whichever way, we are solidly behind you. |
I'm really loving this. |
Abugab:It will be a shocker to even some APC members lobbying for positions. I am totally in support of GMB's move. We do not need people with shady characters in this dispensation. Buhari, take your time and select the best. |
President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday in Abuja reassured that only patriotic, decent and experienced Nigerians would be appointed as ministers in his government. The President, who was responding to questions on ‘Good Morning Nigeria’, a television programme on the National Television Authority, said that politicians and technocrats would make the list of nominees for ministerial appointments. “From what I have seen so far, we need really patriotic Nigerians – Nigerians that can work very hard, knowledgeable, experienced, committed Nigerians – to be in charge of ministries. “A lot of the institutions of Nigeria – important institutions – were compromised. Everybody was for himself and God for all of us; its most unfortunate. “We have the people, educated people, experienced people but everybody seemed to be working for himself – how much he could get as much and as quick as possible. “We have to look for technocrats and we have to look for politicians and certainly we have to look for decent people in this class to give them the responsibility of being in charge of ministries and important parastatals (agencies).” On reported under-dealings in the nation’s oil and gas sector, the President said that the Federal Government was working very assiduously to expose the persons behind the illegal activity. He promised that his administration would continue to update members of the public on government’s investigation into the matter. He said that government’s aim was to identify and prosecute all those found culpable. According to him, the relevant shipping documents are being compiled for onward submission to countries of destination of stolen Nigerian crude oil. "The search continues; up to the third of this month, our crude was still being illegally lifted by people who are in government. “We are trying to get these documents. We are getting the cooperation of the international community. “We are going to make sure that those who perpetrated this theft against Nigeria are faced with facts very soon and are taken to our courts. “We’ve got the cooperation of some of the countries of the destinations of our crude (oil) and we are discussing with them. “We have to maintain high confidentiality so that we don’t risk some of the loyal Nigerians that are helping us to trace the destinations of this stolen crude and then the accounts into which the monies are being paid instead of the Federal Government account.” Buhari said that his administration was still studying the recommendations on how the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation should be reorganised. He described his recent trip to the United States (US) as very successful as he was able to extract the commitment of the American government to assist and support Nigeria toward tackling the economic and security challenges it was facing. He said that the US and other European countries had also pledged to assist Nigeria by putting in place necessary security mechanism in the Gulf of Guinea to help check the theft of the country’s crude oil. Commenting on the leadership tussle in the National Assembly, the President reiterated his that he would not interfere directly in the affairs of the lawmakers. Buhari, who expressed displeasure and frustration over the lingering crisis in the Assembly, however, called on those behind the dispute to search their conscious and obey party’s decisions on issues concerning their affairs. He called on Nigerians to cooperate with his administration to move the country forward and warned that no part of the country would be allowed to operate on its own. The President added that the Nigeria “must remain one“. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/07/27/ill-appoint-only-patriotic-decent-nigerians-says-buhari/

MabraO:Thought I was the only one that noticed... |
EasternLion:Spit as much as you can. It doesn't change the fact that you will be under this dispensation for the next four years either you like it or hate it. If you spit on APC's type of opposition, then you should shi*t on PDP's non-directional style then. |
OrlandoOwoh:I strongly concur. PDP has shown Nigerians that they basically have nothing to offer other than ridiculing those that are ready to make a change. They are quite shallow and empty in their attacks and it continues to amaze how some set of Nigerians prefer to wallow in the hardship these bad leaders have plunged the country into. What a shame...calling gej a hero. |
This happens whenever Aregbesola combines orijin and garri as breakfast. Yeye dey smell... |
hinwazaka:Load of jargons |
Demdem:Easy man...but you are right. |

That was never an altercation. As a nation, you need to maintain certain standard positions so that you won't be laying a bad precedence. We also do not have to cave in to every requirements spelt out by other countries. You have to maintain your dignity and pride in certain instances. |
Dim007:You've hardly had barely one month to test this government. Don't you think your judgment would be unfair. |
[quote author=SouthernBreeze post=36312475][/quote]It is a shame that you cannot defend what you typed. I can't blame you. People like you will only drop comments that are empty and shallow, just like what your so-called past administration offered Nigerians. In anyway, Nigerians know better and no matter how you wail and wail, it won't change the fact that you have this to deal with for the next four years. |
SouthernBreeze:Truthfully, I see no tangible point in your comment. |
SouthernBreeze:And we should give credit to the professionals that ruled many years and succeeded in plunging the country into a sea of disorderliness and disrespect for the rule of law? Hypocrites! |
It baffles me that all PDP is trying to do is to destabilize a new dispensation instead of guiding it or stay completely away till they have their chance to contest. |

sdindan:wail: pronounced [weyl] verb (used without object) to utter a prolonged, inarticulate, mournful cry, usually high-pitched or clear-sounding, as in grief or suffering: to wail with pain If I understand you very well, so your portion is to cry with grief/suffering as you have claimed to be proud being a wailing wailer. Chaiiii...If you are here on this thread and you know wailing will not be your portion as we approach the end of 2015, hit 'like'. If otherwise, hit 'share'. |
sdindan:There have been instances and cases of people recorded to have developed high blood pressure at a very tender age. Don't you think it will be wise not being another example. Just a piece of advice ni o. No offence. |
