Ttalk:They are just afraid that Buhari will make things work, and don't want their people to later say, 'Oh, so these people have been cheating us all this while.' That's what I think of all these unreasonable arguments. |

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has said the the National Council of State has no powers to postpone the general elections billed to hold on 14 and 28 February in Nigeria. Falana asserted that the Council of State is one of the Federal executive bodies established by Section 153(1) of the constitution, adding that, the Council is constituted by the President as the Chairman, Vice President as the Deputy Chairman, all former Presidents and all former Heads of the Government of the Federation, all former Chief Justices, the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Governors of the States, and the Attorney-General of the Federation. He noted that the Council is vested with the power to advise the President in the exercise of his powers with respect to: the national population census and compilation; publication and keeping of records and other information concerning the same. Secondly, (ii) the Council is vested with the power to advise the President in the exercise of his powers with respect to Prerogative of mercy and thirdly, (iii) the Award of honours. Fourthly, (iv) The Independent National Electoral Commission (including the appointment of members of that Commission); (v). The National Judicial Council (including the appointment of the members, other than ex officio members of that Council), and (vi). The National Population Commission (including the appointment of members of the Commission); and b. advise the President whenever requested to do so on the maintenance of public order within the Federal or any part thereof and on such other matters as the President may direct. Falana noted that from the foregoing it is crystal clear that the Council has no power to take a decision on any national policy but to advise the President in the exercise of his powers in the aforementioned matters. He said with regards to INEC, the Council may advise the President in the exercise of hispowers to appoint the Chairman of the INEC, the National Commissioners and the Resident Electoral Commissioners. Falana asserted that since the power of organising and conducting the general elections, including the fixing of dates for the elections, is the exclusive responsibility of the INEC, the Council of State is not competent to advise the President or direct the INEC to postpone the general elections. | http://www.ekekeee.com/council-state-power-postpone-elections-femi-falana/

clevvermind:You are either a Christian or a Muslim, and if you're a practicing one, what did the one you practice say about "truth?" At no time were those statements traced to him. In fact, most commentators have, with quotes, showed that it was one of the northern bigwigs in the party that you support who made that statement. |
clevvermind:Well, why not lay it out for us? |
And to have this material and go on to vote for those throwing rice at you will always baffle me. Oh, sorry! Na them get their vote. Let me not Asarize them. |
clevvermind:What statement has Buhari made that threatened the corporate existence of Nigeria? |

Small but dangerous. Are you an engineer or a lawyer? |

musiwa94:Ah ah, your Honorable! But that is not the Awolowo family posting the pics now! |
All this your postponement wahala no go work, by the grace of God. |
Good dream. |
nzeadachie:Yo! Not good. Britain isn't always as ready to side with its old conies like France always is. |
Truckpusher:That's life. But he died giving his best shot - no rigmaroles, you know where he stands in all issues. Maybe you're a beneficiary of the current drift. |
delishpot:It's possible. France has always sided with our neigbours whenever there's an issue between us. It provided the best legal assistance to Cameroon that saw Nigeria losing the Bakassi Peninsula. Do you know Chad and Cameroon were making incursions into Nigeria, and claiming territories in the 80's? |
DDeliverer:Too bad, the other one is six feet down. |
tonychristopher:If they should tell you what others do there, Abacha belongs to the angels. |
DDeliverer:I am reading an interesting story by Stephen Covey. He said there was a man who was ordered by a court to divide the value of his estate and give the wife half of whatever was sold, as a divorce settlement. I don't know there were PDP people in America. The man sold everything for like '$200' and gave the wife half of it. Wicked PDP! Hasn't he enjoyed her? |
DDeliverer:Can you face all these millions with your lies? |
ejikeme:Is the queen older than Buhari? If yes, #SaiBuhari. |
tobillionaire:Make I follow you say hmmm. Like my Yoruba friends say, obe to dun owo lo pa. |
clevvermind:Those who want to collect have collected. Well, let them be cognizant of the fact that history judges harshly those who wouldn't learn her lessons. |
tonychristopher:It's Abacha's own you know. He doesn't kowtow sheepishly like they do and is more dignified than most of them now. Bring Abacha's corpse and all these noisemakers will scamper. |

ISpiksDaTroof:“It is grossly unfair", as ambassador Campbell says, but he also said they seem to be succeeding in tarnishing his image. |
clevvermind:Not even a day should be added. |
We say no to election postponement! #SaiBuhari. |
John Campbell, a former US ambassador to Nigeria, now with the Council on Foreign Relations has come to the defence of Gen Mohammadu Buhari, the presidential aspirant of the APC, whom the opposition have labelled as an extremist. According to reports on Vanguard, Cambell noted that PDP efforts to brand Buhari as an extremist devoted to Islamic law have also been successful. The former envoy said “It is grossly unfair. I know him. He is not an extremist but these things resonate.” Buhari, a former army general who led a military government for 20 months from December 1983, is hardly the dream candidate for many in the south, experts say. Some southerners have an entrenched antipathy towards Muslims from the Hausa ethnic group, members of which plundered the country as military rulers through much of the 1980s and 1990s. The PDP have harped on this as a campaign strategy, claiming the APC, Presidential Flag-bearer and former military dictator, is obviously a hard sell for his party, not only as a Muslim extremist, who treats issues on religions lines, but his diminishing, absurd and out-modeled leadership qualities that can no longer stand the test of time. These assertions according to Vanguard are untrue. Some have argued that parties spend too much effort striving for ethno-religious balance, noting that the most popular presidential ticket since independence in 1960 — the 1993 campaign of the Social Democratic Party — contained two Muslims. Moshood Abiola and running mate Baba Gana Kingibe were easily on track to win the polls before military ruler Ibrahim Babangida nullified the vote. Many commentators were clamouring for popular Lagos state governor Babatunde Fashola, a Muslim, to head the APC ticket in 2015, but the party decided it needed a Hausa candidate to defeat Jonathan. | http://www.naij.com/378204-buhari-is-not-an-extremist-ex-u-s-ambassador.html |
Hmmm, na wah oo! |
njays24:All these nonsense wouldn't have been allowed if we have the likes of Abacha as leaders. |
