And Atiku had already won the election when OBJ asked him to be his running mate. So, Boni Haruna being his running mate was called upon to take over from him.

The Angle of d Law
According to “1. Section 34 of the Electoral
Act 2006 only empowers a party to
substitute nominated candidates not later
than 60 days to election and upon
application giving cogent and verifiable
reasons so to do." Hence the Deputy has to
continue with d Mandate...However, the
bone of Contention is whether or not the
elections have to be re run or a fresh election
be conducted. But as it stands I don't see
any legal interpretation strong enough to
advocate for a conclusion of d elections.
INEC will be setting a big Precedence in this
case. As it stands we have a long film to
watch as The Supreme Court would be called
in for interpretation.. 1 Like |

INSIDE ASO VILLA: HOW BUHARI SHAPED
HIS SURPRISE CABINET
• Why he empowers Fashola, Amaechi, others
• Took Education away from professors
• President understudies Awo’s model for
education
• Why Fayemi,Malami got Solid Minerals,
Justice ministries
He had been described as clueless having
only integrity without grit needed to manage
Africa’s largest economy.
Some had even said he was an unrepentant
northern irredentist who had allegedly given
most of his appointments so far to
northerners just as others had deconstructed
him as another provincial leader from
Katsina who would not know anyone beyond
the Northwest and Northeast.
Others too, have called him an executive
procrastinator – one who could not make his
cabinet (of mediocrities) for six months.
But after last Wednesday’s cabinet
inauguration and posting, attention has
shifted from sentiments to pure analysis of
the politics of President Muhammadu Buhari.
And also questions have been asked why he
has unexpectedly empowered a southerner
as yet another ‘vice president’ or
coordinating minister for Nigeria’s critical
infrastructure.
Prof. Akin Oyebode of the University of Lagos
simply described as a “tragedy” posting of a
young lady as finance minister and an
accountant turned journalist as education
minister.
Oyebode, a Professor of Law at the
University of Lagos and former Vice
Chancellor, University of Ado Ekiti while
responding to questions on Channels
Television last week had noted that getting a
young graduate from an East London
University, not from Oxford, not from
Cambridge, not from London School of
Ecominics as Finance Minister to manage
Africa’s largest economy was
unconscionable.
Besides, he said posting a former Vice
Chancellor, Professor Anthony Onwuka as
Minister of State, Education, to assist Adamu
Adamu, was bad enough.
The professor had spoken the minds of so
many elite corps members who apparently
had been unaware of how the Buhari’s mind
works.
The Guardian found that Buhari who was
removed from office as a military head of
state 30 years ago had actually done
thorough risk analysis of the actions he took
last Wednesday. It was learned, for instance,
that he had done his due diligence on the
‘Golden Boy of Lagos’ Babatunde Fashola
and had already earmarked him as the
‘Poster Boy’ of good governance long before
his adversaries in Lagos landed in Abuja to
demonise him (Fashola). As this newspaper
was told, “President Buhari had in his diary,
a short synopsis on why Nigeria has been so
short on service delivery to the people on all
fronts. He has discovered that we have a lot
of people who thrive on rhetoric, speaking
good English from Oxford, Cambridge,
Harvard and others but lack execution
power…
In the diary, President Buhari was told that
from the last National Economic Council
under Presidents Umaru Musa Yar’ Adua and
Good luck Jonathan, that Fashola was the
only governor who was always taking notes
of deliberations and executing decisions
reached. It was learned that no other
governor had had a journal to record
decisions. The secretariat staff from National
Planning that cover the National Economic
Council headed by the Vice President
confirmed that to the President’s intelligence
and due-diligence team”, The Guardian was
told.
Besides, it was gathered that Fashola’s
exploits in Lagos were shown on three
platforms, namely video, sounds and text to
the President who has been concerned about
how to change Nigeria’s poor rating on
critical infrastructure, especially on
transportation, power, roads and housing.
As our source noted to us, “only death could
have taken away Fashola from the spotlight
last Wednesday. The President did not mean
to interfere in Lagos or southwest politics.
He was simply looking for a clinical finisher
who would not be wearing babaringa or
agbada or fine suits to office or sites, oh yes,
someone who could sleep in the office and
work even on weekends to deliver Nigeria
from shame of underdevelopment.
Actually, Mr. President found this in only two
Nigerians, el-Rufai and Fashola, but
unfortunately, the former is the governor of
Kaduna State. There is no political armour
against that fate…If el-Rufai had not been
governor of Kaduna state, he would have
been Fashola’s partner in this three-in-one
ministry to deliver power and roads to
Nigeria…When he (Nasir) was FCT Minister,
the president discovered that he was working
on Saturday and Sunday and that made the
difference in Abuja in those days…
“Let me tell you. President Buhari has done
some reading and he has been asking why
has there been no good 10-lane road from
Abuja to Lagos and from Abuja to Calabar
and from Abuja to Maiduguri and so on… The
president believes Fashola will take up the
gauntlet and do it’.
The Guardian was told that it is that same
spirit of governance above politics and
religion that informed his choice of Rotimi
Amaechi, former governor of Rivers state to
be in another set of high-spending ‘super
ministry’, Transportation he didn’t give to
any northerner.
The same source within the kitchen cabinet
told this newspaper at the weekend that, “Mr
President believes that the Amaechi who had
his eye on quality when he built some world-
class schools in Rivers State would fix the
organized confusion called the Nigerian
Ports in Lagos and elsewhere. He will also
find solution to the national disgrace called
airports. After all, it has been reported that
Port Harcourt airport is the worst in the
world.
Seriously speaking, the President believes
that Amaechi should be angry enough now
about the state of infrastructure in Nigeria
and those who opposed him from joining the
cabinet will be watching his conduct in
Transportation. There is this nexus between
Transportation and Works. That is where the
spirit of Fashola will also come upon him
(Amaechi). Really, Mr President has put the
man from Rivers in the eye of the storm”.
In the same vein, The Guardian gathered
from Abuja’s power house at the weekend
that, that was also how Dr Kayode Fayemi
generally believed to be headed in the
direction of Foreign Affairs Ministry last
Wednesday, was posted to Solid Minerals
Ministry. We were told that the President
believes in those that have documented Solid
Minerals Development as a solid revenue
stream for the country. “Mr President has
given Fayemi too (who was not expected in
the cabinet because of domestic politics in
southwest) a charge to go there and change
the place into a revenue earner as oil
revenue has ebbed to an intolerable level. Mr
President believes in foreign policy but he is
persuaded that a strong foreign policy is
anchored on strong economy and good
domestic policy”. The Guardian had
exclusively reported in its 14 October issue
that solid minerals development could earn
Nigeria a whopping $50 billion yearly.
Meanwhile, The Guardian also scooped why
Adamu Adamu, who has had nothing to do
with education has been sent there “to go
over to Macedonia and help”.
A competent source who is very familiar with
the relationship between Buhari and Adamu
told this newspaper yesterday this incredible
background: “There is no one in the cabinet
that has been close to Buhari more than
Adamu in the last 20 years. Adamu, a
resourceful researcher and journalist has
written almost all his (Buhari’s speeches).
And he has supported all of the aspirations of
the Daura big man. He was with him even in
PTF. This is how a source told us last night:
But more important, the president who has
studied why the education sector has failed
Nigeria has come to the conclusion that the
best man for the job (of education minister)
is not a professor. The president noted that
one of the loudest professors on the pages of
newspapers today was a minister of
education under the Shonekan/Abacha
regime and the universities were closed
down for nine months under him and he had
no clue..
Therefore, the president called Adamu he
believes in so much as a go-getter and asked
him to go to the unusual beat called
education and fix it. Mr President sees
Adamu Adamu in himself, in integrity,
passion and commitment. He sees him as
somebody who can do the job for God and
country. He wants business unusual in
education…
Let me tell you, Adamu, earlier turned down
any offers from the president. He did not
want to work for government. Adamu just
returned from Harvard where he has
equipped himself but never wanted until Mr.
President who gave him some books by the
late Chief Obafemi Awolowo who took the
South West to sophistication through
education… Mr President who has read those
books asked Adamu to read them and follow
the discipline of the legend and the
commitment he had for education. He said,
the south westerners are what they are
because of their commitment to quality and
quantity in education.
Let this mind be also in you for Nigeria. I
don’t want any of the professors, go and do it
for Nigeria… I know you can, Adamu… So just
watch Adamu. He will change the paradigm…
Mr President’s research has shown that the
only memorable progress in education in
recent years was made by Mrs. Oby
Ezekwesili who is not a Professor. She
adopted some radical measures that could
have changed the face and foundations of
anomie there but forces of darkness swept
her away…”
Similarly, we were told last night the
President did not post Mr James Ocholi as
Attotrney-General as generally expected
because he has had much closer relationship
with Malam Abubakar Malami who has been
with him for ages handling all his legal briefs
from ANPP to CPC. Apart from Ahamba, no
one has been closer than Malami that he
trusts so well as a lawyer of integrity who
will not compromise standards. Mr President
has been consistent. He goes for people he
knows well and trusts…”
But as we rounded off this last night a source
in Lagos political circle said to The Guardian,
“people that have been underrating the
president’s political skills will now see how
the man has been consolidating his political
base in the South West. He has deftly shifted
attention from Bourdillon to Surulere. Now
with this assignment for Fashola, nobody will
go to Ikoyi again for value allocation. All
roads will now lead to Surulere, the base of
Fashola who has more values to allocate…
and that is power and politics in action.
“Now Buhari who has used earlier
appointments to unify the North by
appointing a Christian from Adamawa (a
core middle belt state) as Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, SGF and
another Christian as Comptroller-General of
Immigration from Nassarawa is
consolidating for the future.
“No one is complaining in the north now that
Buhari is an ‘Islamist’. Analysts beware,
watch the steps of the man who has given all
the high spending ministries to southerners.”

Politics / Africans Should Learn To Tell Their To Evoke Sympathy Stop Hating #pray4france by lummyguy: 12:01pm On Nov 16, 2015 |
The social Media has suddenly gone agog
over Criticism of people who chose to
identify with France in this trailing moment in
there history. I read has my friends over
flogged same issue repeatedly, then i kept
asking myself why we have started thinking
alike suddenly. It didn't take too long before i
got an answer.... Yes! Nigerians become
apprehensive when others are recognized
even when it no fault of theirs while we do
little or nothing about our own situations and
still expect same kinda Sympathy. For the
first time in the history of FB, it gave an
opportunity to sympathise with a disaster but
would you blame it? No. When disasters
happens in our part of the world, no one
cares about who d victims are and what they
stand for, noone runs a background check on
names of dead victims, mission before
termination, All we ever do is a surface
routine of counting the corpse as if they
meant nothing before exiting. Who is to
blame? Every single person who withhold
relevant information dat would have made it
easy for identification of persons, NEMA who
is only concerned abt counting bodies, Lazy
Policemen and Journalists who has
disregarded investigations and embraced
conflicting information as a result of rumour
mills.
Just maybe if more human angle stories are
brought to our notice by d media as to who d
victims were and how they relate with same
activities we engage in...then our seemly
dead feelings will be so awakened in dis
country.
Terrorism is an act against humanity and
irrespective of our conflicting interests, we
ought to do the dead the greatest honour by
acknowledging they ones were humans and
not some item in d market that we could play
politics with...For the sake of Being HUMAN
We have our challenges as a nation
badmouthing others aren't gonna solve
ours...all we need do keep showing the
world despite our own problems, as Nigerian
we are still a happy people sharing love
without conditions... Cos as a fact that is
what we are.

Politics / Why Ambode Will Never Be Able To Sustain Or Continue Brf's Legacies by lummyguy: 9:06am On Oct 04, 2015 |
Never has Lagos had it better under the administration of Babatunde Raji Fashola...Unlike his Contemporaries, his was an 8 years of consistent brainstorming and actualisations. He worked his Ass out for 8 years so just that the people of Lagos can live a Mega city of there dream. The BRF regime ensured that laws were strengthened and Enforcement Officers were accorded due respects owed to them by all and sundry. Of course, it was only normal to see a Vibrant LAHA under such people loving administration. Thus, it is not surprising to even see LAHA pass the Public Smoke act. #fastforward to 2015...Law enforcement agencies are being weakened by the Amobode administration. The Governor needs be reminded that Lagos has a 99% potential of being thrown into a state of Comatose if not ruled by an iron hand. The fact that you can cross the road at Ojota without thinking twice about the KAI officials that might be awaiting you at the other end is another conformation that indeed Lawlessness is gradually returning to Lagos. Now, were we wrong to have voted change? Absolutely NO! Lagosians had being used to allowing government flow at its pace without need for check and constant pressure. I mean, Fashola was good at doing the right thing at the right time, he knew exactly when to embark on the draining of the Water ways, he knew every street and every Local govt by heart...Damn. that guy was a genius. Permit me then to emphasise that we must continue to clamour for continuity and keep the current government in check should it forget Leadership is about Serving and not Show business. Would Agbaje have been a better choice? Maybe or Maybe not...What we know for sure is that #Neveragain would we allow anyone take us down the road again...the Agberos who wallow in jubilation can afford to do dat..but dey only make 5% of d population... We need to make our Voice heard. Better we start NOW than wait till it's too LATE. #Itesiwaju Eko #LagosiansBeVigilant #VoiceOut #MegaCityInitiative cc: lalastical, seun Mods should do the needful |
