APC and buhari have finally destroyed nigeria. The only system in nigeria gudluck jonathan rebranded under his leadership was our electoral system which buhari was the beneficiary, a man that suffered a lot under obasanjo to the extend he became violent. Buhari is a bad omen to future nigeria and history will never forget that. APC is leading in bayelsa and kogi, and their supporters are celebrating assuming PDP is on the lead it should been declared inconclusive by now. Buhari is without legacy.

onatisi:
dino losing the senate is both a personal and political battle for buhari .
he has finished with saraki and saraki is out , he needs dino out to prove a point to any remaining senators in apc and pdp that he is in charge
dino out of the senate is pdp minus one and gives more strenght to apc in the senate to do anyhow and pass any bill that buhari wants .
whether we like it or not , we are virtually back to the abacha era .
dino can go to court f he likes but surely he will lose there too
good luck to nigerians

Kylekent59:
I would still prefer PDP style of ruling ( There would be corruption, money flows everywhere, businesses would bloom,and there is enjoyment everywhere) to APC style of ruling ( killings,thuggery, stagnant businesses, poverty, robbery, evil, and self enrichment and family, no freedom, tyranny, violence, hardship, begging on social media, and most especially brain dead)

Begging on social media, AKA “Giveaway”

PDP are capitalists.
APC are socialists today, feudalist tomorrow, communist next week.


Nonsense youths are to blame.

olajizz01:
So Ghana is also one of the senior parasite just like Niger, Benin,all these useless countries that always badmouth and hate Nigeria most esp. Ghana have been put in their place.
If Nigeria want Ghana to be nothing economically,it can be achieved within 6months.

Truely,Nigeria is giant of Africa.

Kinsmen of former President Goodluck Jonathan in Kolo, Ogbia Local Government Area trooped out to celebrate the defeat of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ward 9.

They took over the road leading to Ogbia Town immediately the results of the 13 units in Ward 9 were announced by electoral officials and APC was declared the winner of the ward.

Some of them flew the flag of APC while others used their brooms to sweep the road saying they had suffered under the current PDP government.

Some of them said they were given as much as N10,000 but that they rejected the money because they were United and determined to vote out PDP.

“We are happy because we won the PDP in all the units” one of them, who failed to mention his name out of excitement said.

Also in Eppie-Atissa in Yenagoa, residents took over the road jubilating over the defeat of the PDP in the area.

BY DAVID O ROYAL

President Muhammadu Buhari has explained that 35 aides were not sacked from the Office of the Vice President instead they were redeployed to a new ministry.

The President who fielded questions from NTA State House Correspondent at the Presidential Wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja, upon his return from a private visit from the United Kingdom described the interpretations of his directives as a sack as ‘unfortunate’.

The President described what happened as a re-organisation and not a sacking, stressing that, a new ministry has recently been created, that is, Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.

“They said 35 people were sacked in the Vice President’s office but we just created a ministry and we reorganized but people are giving it an ethnic and political dimension. It is unfortunate,” the President said.

It would be recalled that while media report had widely reported the sack of 35 aides including the circulation of a list of those sacked, informed sources insisted that what the President directed was a redeployment and not a sack.

The President’s comment in the NTA interview last night on arrival from his UK private trip indicated that although some Presidential aides had confirmed the sacking of 35 aides, the President only gave express instructions for redeployment to ministries not sacking.

Meanwhile, President Buhari assured Nigerians that he was more energized and ready for work. “We are going to work harder to be accountable and try to make Nigerians see why we do certain things. Accountability from bottom to top is absolutely necessary,” he said.

It would be recalled that some people had reported and claimed that President Buhari had sacked 35 aides in the Office of the Vice President to whittle down the powers and influence of the Vice President.

Some also claimed that the sacking of the 35 aides were to reduce the influence of the Vice President ahead of 2023 elections and were masterminded by a certain cabal with the Presidency.

The Presidency has however always maintained that the President and his deputy, Prof Osinbajo enjoy a very good relationship.

I am planning to marry her. We Have courted for one year.

I have caught her stealing my money twice but in all cases, she wept, knelt and begged me, saying it is the spirit of succubus and incubus that makes her do that.

I forgave her because I am mad over this girl. I so love her.

Now I caught her via her phone chats, that she has been deleting her chats with a guy she claims is her classmate. After not talking to her for two days, she wept and knelt to beg me, confessing that, the guy has proposed to her and that the spirits of succubus and incubus made her delete the chats.

She says I should take her to a prophet for deliverance.

I so love her

Please what do you advise?

Thanks

This is how Chronic Madness starts. Yorubas never supported Obasanjo, you Igbos did. Obasanjo even defeated you lord Ojukwu in all Biafran states.

We Yorubas are supporting Buhari and we have no regret, all what the ineffectual buffoon Goatluck Jonathan and the incestuous Obasanjo could not do, Buhari is doing them e.g.

1. Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is about 70% completed

2. Lgos-Abeokuta-Ibadan Railway is about 85% completed.

3. Ikorodu-Sagamu Expressway construction has just started.

4. Construction is going on Apapa-Oshodi Expressway.

5. Oyo-Ogbomoso Expressway construction is almost completed.

Neurotika:
You're still missing the point. How do you hold an investigative journalist 'accountable' for speaking against the ills of an administration. Especially when this same Journalist has been consistent in criticizing regimes preceding the one you have a disturbing nostalgia for? And even gone to Jail severally for such criticisms.

Every sane country knows the importance of opposition especially in the Journalism industry because it's a potent tool to ensure there are adequate checks and balances.

What is wrong with everyone in this country? Suddenly almost everyone is incapable of stringing together a submission rich in sound logic and common sense anymore.

Neurotika:
lol its funny how people use analogies that suits their bias. In your earlier comment you assert Sowore deserves no pity and he's only reaping the fruits of his labor.

Yet in this recent comment you agree it's improper for the Govt to flaunt court order and not release him.

The import of all these is that your sentimental attachment towards the previous administration has masked your ability to forgive anyone that spoke against its excesses which makes you lack the moral justification to talk about how a white man is mentally superior to a black man.

You're the full definition of everything a black man stands for that has kept us in the doldrums for centuries.

omenka:
Sowore, but you were out to destroy and remove a democratically and constitutionally established government.

Much as i admire your deggedness and courage, you must be held accountable for your actions as well.

When asked if you were calling for protests, you reiterated you were calling for a REMOVAL OF THE GOVERNMENT AND NOT JUST ANY PROTEST. How could you call for the removal of a government duly elected in a process in which you ALSO participated, and even endorsed?

Come on, even the US government wont tolerate that. It is called treason. As we speak, the US president is calling a legitimate WHistle Blower legally protected by their constitution, an enemy of state guilty of treason! What the guy reported has been corroborated even by employees of the president himself.

So, forget all that. You surely will be out of there. But I simply cant tell when.

Detained social activist, publisher and politician, Omoyele Sowore, has spoken out from the custody of the State Security Service, telling PREMIUM TIMES he is being held as part of a grand scheme by the Buhari administration to shut down Nigeria’s civic space.

Mr Sowore called a PREMIUM TIMES’ reporter on Thursday afternoon, in a rare move to directly send out a message to the public.

It was a message of courage, defiance and hope for both his teeming supporters and the Nigerian downtrodden people.

The Sahara Reporters’ publisher said he would remain undeterred by the controversial tactics of the current government, which have seen him held in perpetual custody against the order of a federal judge.

Mr Sowore, a former student union activist who confronted military regimes and went to jail for it, was arrested in August in connection with his #RevolutionNow campaign — a series of nationwide protests he had planned with other activists to demand a better Nigeria.
The protests were planned to commence on August 5 across 21 towns and cities, with public awareness escalating as the day drew closer.

But suddenly on August 3, armed SSS officers broke into an apartment Mr Sowore was occupying with some of his closest associates in Lagos. He was taken away in the midnight raid that was captured by security cameras.
The arrest elicited outrage from Nigerians, with many slamming the SSS’ brutal tactics as yet another state-sponsored violence against unarmed citizens.

Members of the movement also warned that Mr Sowore’s detention — which they deemed illegal and unwarranted — would bolster rather than dampen a wave of resistance to decades of bad governance that many believed had worsened under President Muhammadu Buhari.

Grand plot thwarted
Speaking with PREMIUM TIMES from custody, Mr Sowore said the demand for his sureties was an attempt to intimidate them into pulling out.

“Their aim is to intimidate my sureties by subjecting them to undue maltreatment,” Mr Sowore said. “It is part of a grand plot to hold me hostage because they have failed to find anything illegal to pin on me.”

“But we know what they want to do and we will not allow it to happen,” he added.

Although the SSS has repeatedly asserted its respect for the Nigerian judicial and the rule of law in general, the agency has a history of repression, violation of citizens’ rights and disobedience of court decisions.

SSS was the agency at the heart of most allegations of attacks on Nigerians during the brutal military eras of Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha. Several Nigerians were jailed, physically attacked or killed as Mr Abacha moved to clear all obstacles to his authoritarian regime.

Despite attempts to reform the agency as Nigeria attained democracy in 1999, critics say the SSS, founded in 1986, has remained wedded to its brutal and anti-democratic past.

Hale, hearty
Mr Sowore lamented that he had “not seen sunshine since he was detained except when taken to court.” Only three people have been allowed to see him since August 3, which includes his lawyers and the person responsible for his feeding.

Even though Mr Sowore said he cannot wait to reunite with his associates and loved ones, he said he had come to a fresh realisation that the SSS would continue to disregard court pronouncements and would not release him anytime soon.

“Last night, they gave us phones and cable TV,” Mr Sowore said. “This indicates that they have no intention of complying with court orders to release me anytime soon.’’

Mr Sowore said he will continue to fight for the downtrodden, and wanted the world to know that the Buhari administration has been stifling civil liberties in Nigeria.

“The world should know that I remain unbroken and in high spirits,” Mr Sowore said. “I will continue to fight for the Nigerian people, ensure that the people are not shortchanged and corruption is driven underground.”

“I will continue to stand up for the downtrodden,” he said.

Mr Sowore said all those who support him should not be discouraged because the masses will prevail in the battle against anti-democratic forces.

“The ultimate mission is to intimidate all critical voices and shut down the nation’s civic space,” Mr Sowore said. “But this will not happen and we shall overcome.”
