Stop talking bulshit please, both PDP and APC would eventually give their presidencial tickets to SE. Men of wisdom already know that's the only way to ensure that peace reigns.

Only selfish people with wicked hearts will want the SW to produce the president or to campaign for tinubu.

This is the most equitable thing to do but the wickedness of the Yoruba tribe always prevail in Asiwaju to scuffle that dream

Now an igbo man with wisdom. This consultation should have started before 2019 election but it's not too late. Keep it up Anyim Pius Anyim

Immediately I saw that tinubu was in support of direct primaries I knew that the idea was dead on arrival because the nothern politicians who are hell bent on clipping tinubus wings won't support such

The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has written a letter to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), highlighting the problems with the inclusion of mandatory direct primaries in the Electoral Act amendment bill.

The PUNCH on Thursday gathered that the AGF’s letter on the amended Electoral Act bill was received by the President two weeks ago.

When contacted on the telephone, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, confirmed that the President had received a communication from Malami on the bill.

He however said he was not privy to the content of the letter.

“Yes. I can confirm that the President has received a communication from the honourable minister on the matter but honestly, I am not privy to the content of the communication. I have not been briefed,” the presidential aide said.

But a source at the Ministry of Justice told one of our correspondents that Malami informed the President that making direct primaries mandatory for all political parties could cause confusion.

An impeccable source in the ministry said, “The AGF has sent his advice on the Electoral Act amendment bill to the President. He has highlighted the problems of the bill.

The Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has written a letter to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), highlighting the problems with the inclusion of mandatory direct primaries in the Electoral Act amendment bill.


“The AGF, however, did not quote any section of the law that makes it illegal which is unlike the previous letters he writes to the President.”

Also, source in the AGF office confirmed to The PUNCH that indeed Malami had written to the President.

He explained that the AGF was worried that forcing all parties to adopt the direct mode of primary would mean that all existing parties would have to change their constitutions.

The source stated, “The office of the AGF sent its position two weeks ago. They raised a number of issues. For instance, if you are asking political parties to run direct primaries, from a strictly legal point of view that would mean that only new political parties will be bound by the law.

“Existing political parties will not, because they have registered their parties, they have filed their constitution long time ago on the basis of what is contained there. And most of it is a mixture, if you check the parties, direct and indirect primaries are stated.

“So, are you going to change their constitutions for them? So, this is the legal opinion. But this is just one. There are several other legal positions which favours and disfavours the bill because, as the Minister of Justice, his duty is to tell the president the pros and the cons. It is now up to the President to decide on which way to go.”

The Spokesman for the AGF, Dr Umar Gwandu, when contacted, told The PUNCH that he was not in a position to confirm the development.

InoGetJoy:

It's actually shameful that your Government had to resort to blocking avenues of food importation into Biafra just to starve innocent children and women. It means without the blockade Biafra would've handed their asses to them. It's quite embarrassing, they declared war on the Biafrans while these people had to access to weapons and the Nigerian side had all the weapons but the Biafran side acquired weapons and developed their own weapons, ALL DURING THE WAR.
How many countries have been able to do that? They were still able to hold their fort for 3 good years until your government shamelessly resorted to using blockade.
I'm ashamed on your behalf

Buhari, master of South East governors. He useless them as he wishes

Ebonyi State Governor, David Umahi, on Sunday, lashed out at the spokesman of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Emma Powerful, over the group’s threat to lock down the South-East region, should the President, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), visit the state.

According to Umahi, Buhari’s visit to the state was already billed for early next year, adding, however, that projects to that effect (in the state), were being executed as if he was to visit this month (December).

Umahi stated this during the State’s annual Thanksgiving Service at the Government House Chapel, Abakaliki, saying the IPOB image-maker lacked both capacity and the warfare prowess to stop Buhari from visiting the state.

Umahi said, “I saw where one misguided element that calls himself IPOB, said Mr President is not welcomed in Ebonyi. He is inconsequential and I want you to put it on social media.

“I was in Paris and I told Mr President that the leaders of the South-East would want to visit him over the issue of peace in the South-East, and I appeal to him to postpone the visit till early next year.

“But I didn’t want to tell our people, because I was urging them to keep pushing our projects as if the President was going to come this year. And I’m not sure up to three or four people knew this; so, I kept it to myself.

“So, Mr. President will come when we want him to come. That IPOB guy is an inconsequential human being. If he is serious, let him hit the wall to Ebonyi State and let him see, if he would find feet to go back.

"Somebody will sit down somewhere and be talking rubbish and they will be misguiding our children to go and be killed; but, himself will not be at the war front.

"Any of them that will talk rubbish about security in South-East, should come and lead the war. And I will also lead the war for Ebonyi State. And like David, we will always kill Goliath.

“When they talk rubbish, just ignore them. This land belongs to God.”

Recall IPOB’s Director of Media and Publicity, Emma Powerful, had in a statement, on Thursday, said the group had intelligence that President Buhari would visit Ebonyi State, threatening to shut down the South-East geopolitical zone, should that happen.

An average southern bigot is a sad human who should be pitied. Your useless GEJ who guaranteed you free crumbs did not stop it if it was that easy and kill BH in its tracks? We sensible statement.

The financial system is largely dominated by southerners, meaning your southern elites are part and parcel of the system that seeks to destabilise the country using terrorism.

FG should enact laws that also penalise Banks for the illicit money flow. They wi sit up once they loose a bank or two!
