whether Fayose likes it or not, he will rot in jail

DelectableAutos:
This keeps disturbing me every time I hear it. The saying that gej has spent 6 years in office, as president of nigeria. This started with the kano state govenor and it has become the norm, now even the pdp haven't come out to refute it. This also tells me how nigerians can just walk by 'hear say' and not facts and how easily we forget things. President Yar'adua was flown out of nigeria on 23rd November 2009. On the 9th of February 2010 the two houses of the National Assembly passed a motion with doctrine of necessity, making Jonathan Ag President. On May 5th 2010 President yar'adua died and on the 6th of May 2010 Jonathan was sworn in as Substantive President.
If you count from when he was acting or when he became substantive it is still not up to 5 years yet talkless of 6 years!
Please nairalanders contribute, let me know if I am wrong

How does this refute the fact that GEJ is a CELEBRATED FAILURE?

FreeGlobe:
PDP will sweep kaduna. I hope Buhari is spending his pension money for this rented crowded crowd or does Amaechi have to bear the whole burden

Oh my God!!! so the asylum's door has been swung open again today, the inmate has been set loose!!!

cheruv:
this is prelude to declaring himself sultan of kano

how does that become your problem?

Shame on the party that has taken rumour mongering as manifesto, Buhari is well and sound

Buhari denies health concerns,
foreign trip

ALECHENU, ABUJA
11 Comments
The Presidential candidate of the All
Progressives Congress, Maj. General
Muhammadu Buhari has denied
media reports that he was terminally
ill and was preparing to go abroad for
medical attention. Buhari spoke to
reporters at the Rivers State
Governors’ Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja, on
Sunday. Some Nigerian newspapers
and on-line publications (The Punch
not inclusive), in their Sunday
editions; reported that the former
military ruler was terminally ill and
has been flown out of the country for
medical attention. He said the reports
were orchestrated by desperate
individuals seeking to use it to gain
undue political advantage. The APC
candidate also used the occasion to
debunk allegations that his tenure at
the defunct Petroleum Trust Fund
was riddled with corruption.
According to him, his tenure at the
PTF was thoroughly investigated and
the report presented to the then
President Olusegun Obasanjo who
recently confirmed it. Buhari said, “(a
national daily) reported that I was to
jet out for medical checkup yesterday
but here I am. I was at Nasarawa and
Benue states yesterday; tomorrow I
am going to be in two states. “The
day after tomorrow, in two more
states. I am doing two states per
day. How they got the impression
that I was sick I do not know.
Although I got cold and that did not
stop me from going through my
schedule.” Commenting on medical
documents purportedly confirming
his alleged poor state of health,
Buhari said, “I don’t know of this
desperation. “The issue we are telling
Nigerians is that of corruption in this
country for the last16 years the PDP
has literally destroyed this country.
“This is the issue and what has my
health got to do with that one, have I
been sick on daily basis? And (that)
document has been put on paper, on
tweeter that I am sick and the ABU
(Ahmadu Bello University Teaching
Hospital) said they are forged
documents. This desperation is
beyond my understanding.”
When pressed to make a categorical
statement on his state of health,
Buhari jokingly asked the reporter,
“how old are you, 50 years?; I am
telling you if go to the field, you
would not last the time I will last in
the field.” On his stewardship of the
PTF, he said, “That one has been
cleared. There is no fraud in PTF,
there was an investigation and
General Obasanjo has answered that
question, he confirmed that there
was an investigation and the report
was brought to him and there was
nothing on ground as far as my
management and chairmanship of the
PTF was concerned. “So what else
can I say? The person who did the
investigation because he was the
Head of State he cleared me so what
else can I say?”

Yazmin:


What model of Toyota four runner did you get down from.
If you don't tell me the model then I believe you are hiding more information in the story build up as you are in the car model....

Shalom!!!!

Asking for the model of my Four Runner! Ah, that one Na wa o! Why not also ask about the plate number, so that you can go and tell the Iroko goons to follow after me abi! No way Sir! The park is still under lock and key as at this evening, the question is how will that stop me from voting for the beloved people's general come FeBuhari 14! Even my darling husband who hitherto had been neutral in political matters has been bitten by the Sai Buhari bug, GEJ must go Sir, its GMB all the way, Happy Sunday!

I found this very funny. I drove to Oja-Oba in Akure this evening to buy some stuffs only to find out that the expansive Democracy Park that usually serve as Car Park to the Large market when no political activity is taking place there, is under lock and key. The place has hosted all political rallies in the state since it was built few years ago.
The giant gates leading to the park has been rolled up and padlocked with giant keys.
Confused about where to park my vehicle or make a u-turn in the ever crowded narrow road leading to the park, I came down from my Toyota 4 Runner truck to ask from people around why the gates were locked. To my amazement, I was informed that the state government locked the park to prevent GMB/APC from using it whenever their campaign train gets to Akure the Ondo State capital.
Isn't this funny? Is this democracy? The question in the mouth of the traders and users of the park is "will the closure of the park prevent them from voting GMB"? Someone even said GMB should come and hold his rally in the street of Akure if all the official places for such programmes are not released for his use. Recall that the Ondo State command of the Nigeria Police Force teargassed a tumultuous crowd participating in a pro-APC rally in Akure last week on the instruction of the governor, Is this how Dr Mimiko will get the one million votes he promised to give to GEJ in Ondo State? my comment on the attitude of the governor is that this time shall pass and when we remember this time, we shall think about the role of Dr Mimiko in stifling democracy in Nigeria. It took the assistance of a more experienced driver to help move my vehicle out of the artificial logjam created by the governor of Ondo State for political reasons. Well my PVC is kept in a very secured place where no one will dispossess me of it, it is going to give GEJ minus one vote from me, cheers!

EgusiSoup:
With the current political equations, If GEJ wins and rules till 2019, the North will be gearing to take over from him.
That's another 8 Years.

If Buhari wins, it is back to the North once more.

It is unfair that a vibrant ethnic group full of intellectuals and gurus are not even considered as factors in the Nigerian political equation, Sad!

All those Igbos like Berem and co shouting Sai this and Sai that.. Which way Igbo Kwenu?

Lets share our views..

Sorry, I said this to my mummy when she raised this question last week, the Igbo unfortunately has given their slot to GEJ
Weren't the Igbos shouting he is their son even when he didn't see you as Human being! Well, he has given you plenty appointments in his government, why are you seeking to be president again! SGF was given to the sleeping man, Pius Anyim, Aviation-Oduah/Chidoka, Health-Chuku, Finance-Ngozi Iweala, Chief of Army Staff, Chief of Defence Staff etc, what else do you want, your "son" has been good to you now!
The way out for the Igbo nation is to join the crusade to send GEJ packing and negotiate on Post-Buhari presidency instead of these nonsensical bandwagon about GEJ who doesn't give a damn about anyone save himself, his wife and his little clique that has no Igbo personality as member
Listen to Pa Ekwueme's advise and do away with GEJ, my mum is Igbo, she didn't like this advise, she believe GEJ is God sent, thank God she hasn't collect her PVC from INEC in Lagos, she is staying with me till after election, she won't vote for GEJ, cheers!

Rareantagonist:
Brethren,
This is a desperate and urgent call from the throne of
Grace that the brethren in Christ are about to make the
greatest error of their lives by selling off their kingly
heritage for a mess of pottage called "change". Change
into what? Change into what happened to Egypt , Sudan, Lybia, Algeria and Turkey which were once flourishing
Christian countries but because the brethren there also
sold their souls on the premise of "it does not matter"
they became the last set of Christians in those countries!
Remember Turkey! It was the beautiful Christian country
called Constantinople! Today it is history! The foundation of the planned islamisation of Nigeria was
taken in 1989 in Abuja by OIC. Since then they have not
looked back! Our Government gave them a contribution
of 21 billion dollars then! Wonder then where the funding
of boko Haram is coming from? They have painfully now
infiltrated one of the biggest denominations in Nigeria and offered one of their best Pastors -a Professor,a Vice
presidential Slot! Now a larger community of that
denomination now promotes this "change"! They did it in
Constantinople ! Remember brethren, that the biggest
denomination of Christians in the North - the EYN has
been wiped off! All their churches burnt. You may say that it is the North it can't get here! They said the same
thing in Sudan, Libya, Algeria and Constantinople! How come the brethren have become so dulled in the Spirit
that they no longer are sensitive?
We may be the last Christians in Nigeria if this grave
error the brethren is about to commit is not averted! Our
Lord Jesus is greatly miffed by our irresponsibilit y as His Followers! How come we no longer hear Him! The
Great shepherd of the Sheep! How come that Christians
have forgotten that this country was made
ungovernable by these same people and Christians are
holding the wrong person responsible? How come? The
signs of the eventual Islamization of Nigeria are awash in the 1999 constitution where Islam, Sharia are mentioned
more than 100 times.! Not a single mention of Christ or
Christianity! You say it does not matter. Now, mark it
you cannot amend the constitution without a bitter
progrom!
Brethren, the night is here! We must contend for the faith and our heritage which was handed once and for all to
us by our maker!
Don't relent, sound this trumpet....We will not be the last
Christians in Nigeria! Amen.

Get thee behind me you saTAN

Accent is not a problem bro, how about GEJ'S grammatical bullets that he shoots everyday, eg
"how much did Nwobodo stole"

Tinubu:
Summary of this obscene debate....




Both prostitutes and runs girls get you to the same 'destination'... But the prostitute is cheaper, safer, and less complicated than the runs girl

yes, the same destination, which is Hell fire!

The umbrella is already torn, shame awaits GEJ come FeBuhari 14

Goodluck 2015: The light goes dim
PUNCH, JANUARY 16, 2015 BY FOLA OJO President Goodluck Jonathan surfed
to power six years ago on the back
of widespread national approbation.
His approval rating spiked through
the roof in a historically-
unprecedented fashion. He was
Goodluck the beloved, Goodluck the
saviour, it was all about Goodluck!
Nigerians from all tribes were
determined to make his battle their
battle; wherever he led them, they
had braced themselves to follow; and
his God they were prepared to make
their God. The good and virtues
Nigerians saw in Jonathan were
probably much more than the virtue
Jesus saw in Judas Iscariot when he
appointed him a disciple overseeing
his treasury.
Today, the President’s political
fireplace has gone frigid, the fire-in-
the-belly of his government has
waned as Boko Haram and
widespread economic uncertainties
have come hitting Nigerians like an
unannounced swirling killer-blizzard.
And the President’s men, like a
losing kick-boxer are flailing at
anything and anyone real or imagined
with the sharp instruments of
presidential incumbency in an
attempt to win the fight.
My President is in the fiercest battle
of his political life against
Muhammadu Buhari, an astute, stout
and sharp-witted retired Army
General who is backed by an
undying, increasing, and resolute
following across Nigeria. Previous
fights the President had won were
fought by godfathers and the few
powerful who believed in him. Many
of the exalted positions Jonathan has
so far occupied were brought to him
by Goodluck. And where are those
ardent and true supporters now? One
by one, they have fled and found new
friends in the arch-rivals of Mr.
President as his ruling party, the
Peoples Democratic Party, continues
to run out of clue. Strip by strip, the
carpet of support is pulled from
under his feet, and the
haemorrhaging appears to have just
begun.
Nine governors did not show up in
his reelection declaration in Lagos; a
buddy-priest of his, Enugu-based
Father Ejike Mbaka, went on an
endless tirade that our own Goodluck
has actually brought Nigeria and
especially the Igbo bad luck. On
Monday, behind closed-doors in
Abeokuta, the President smooched
up in a room with two reputable
Nigerian clerics and his estranged
benefactor, Olusegun Obasanjo,
begging the latter for support. But
“Baba” told his late-coming penitent
son that someone else already
sought and received his support. I
learnt that this was the most
depressing moment of Jonathan’s
Presidency.
From state to state, Mr. President is
losing steam, ground, and men in
thousands to the opposition party
APC on a daily basis. I cannot recall
in Nigeria’s history where a ruling
party and an incumbent President
have lost so much support in a
rumbling sequence of 30 days before
an election. Jonathan’s electoral
chances in this election are getting
dimmer by the day.
His story can be likened to that of
the 29th president of the United
States, Warren G. Harding, whose
administration was a train-load of
unending scandals that ranged from
cover-ups of shady business deals
and large scale corrupt activities by
members of his cabinet. Like
Harding, no one has accused
Jonathan of corruption; and like
Harding, Jonathan’s Achilles heels
are those around him who are
believed to be the cruella-de-vil of
greed, graft and gluttony. Money in
the hands of Jonathan’s lieutenants
at all levels of government, many
believe, is like ice cream in the
mouth of a child; it melts fast and
easy through the conduits of
corruption and thievery, and you will
not remember it ever was.
Because of the complex and intricate
nature of Nigeria as a country,
Nigerians could have probably been
more forgiving if non-performance in
government were the only
shortcoming of this administration.
But dismal performance conjoined
with supersize corruption is not a
transgression that Nigerians easily
forgive. Profligacy has been
rumoured to be at a scary scale with
Nigerian politicians; and in the world
of the ruling party, the PDP, it
appears as if it is a necessary and
desired undergarment.
There is too much conscious or
unconscious coddling of graft by this
President. If former Head of State,
Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, believes that
his administration should be
considered an angelic being
regarding corruption compared to
Jonathan’s, then this administration
must be the unrepentant Lucifer of
larceny and a dashing baron of
daylight robbery that ever existed in
the annals of Nigerian history. We all
remember Babangida and his men.
When the President said that corrupt
government officials will not see the
four walls of a prison under his
authority, it was an announcement
that depraved minds will always have
a free pass with him. Incarceration of
those adjudged corrupt, Mr.
President, is a very powerful
deterrent for those who steal public
funds.
A heavy portion of this year’s budget
was set aside for entertainment in
the Villa, “estacode” for gazillion of
aides travelling with the President all
around the world, and the acquisition
of more airplanes. The government is
proposing to spend N517.9m this
year on meals and refreshments for
the Presidency, the Office of the
Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, ministries of power and
petroleum resources as well as their
parastatals. For the office of the
President, N142.47m was earmarked
for 2015 for refreshments and meals,
and N25.58m was earmarked for
meals and refreshments for the office
of the VP. In a country where over
100 million people are considered
poor, this is nothing but a legacy of
waste.
The US Ambassador to Nigeria,
James Enwistle, has now told us that
his country had intended to train a
battalion of the Nigerian Army up to
world standard; and the agreement
was that the US would provide the
trainers and the Nigerian government,
the equipment. After a few weeks of
training, the US had to back out
because no equipment was provided
by Nigeria. What happened to the
N1tn the Minister of Finance, Mrs
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, publicly
announced was in the 2014 budget
for the military? What happened to
the first-class equipment that should
have been procured? The minister
had said; “Defence spending is top in
everything, you know that military
establishment needs new things to
assist in its work and ours will not
be different…To be specific, the
military has about N968.12bn and we
have disbursed N130.7bn between
January and April 2014.”
With this huge sum, why is Boko
Haram controlling more than 20,000
square miles of the Nigerian
sovereign territory, an area larger
than Switzerland, Bosnia-
Herzegovina, Denmark, the
Netherlands, Belgium, Israel and 144
other countries of the world? Why
must our soldiers be ill-equipped,
badly-managed, and morale badly
bruised? About 17,000 innocent
people have been killed so far more
than those who died in the first US
Gulf War. Presidents of nations make
surprise visits to men and women
who are laying down their lives for
their countries in battles, but why is
Jonathan not in that league? The
music is fading for Mr. President, the
light is dimming for the ruling PDP,
and a shellacking train is about
tearing through Abuja into Aso Rock
taking the President and his men on
a first-class cabin back to abodes of
their choices. Nigerians can’t wait!
Having expressed this opinion, Dear
Readers, I want you to mark this: It
will be at your peril and pitfall to
count out an incumbent African
President called Goodluck. The battle
will get dirtier as we draw close to
February 14. But what shines in the
horizon is that candidate Goodluck
Ebele Jonathan who took the centre
stage of global attention four years
ago is not the same candidate today.
No doubt, the light has dimmed
drastically upon him, but he remains
the President and Commander-In-
Chief of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria throughout the election
period. You never know, President
Jonathan may still have some oil of
Goodluck left in his presidential jar.

Prophet of Satan

bamosagie:
You are indeed the conscience of the nation, your tweet to the Army shows you have the interest of Nigeria at heart. Your message to president Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is so passionate and your bring back our girls is getting much needed attention.
Madam, I would like to suggest that you take this campaign to where it is needed which is Borno State. you can organise a bring back our girls rally in Maiduguri, you can also visit soldiers at the frontline and appeal to the militants holding the girls to bring back the girls. I am sure you will get their attention and they will return the girls.
Until then, get your PVC, get ready to vote your candidate on February 14, 2015. and stop being a nuisance on social media in the name of seeking attention.

I have no cause to doubt the fact that you live in the community of idiots!

one of the biggest problem of GEJ is his illiterate wife, marry an illiterate wife and be ready for public disgrace like Goodluck Ebele Jonathan

The family must be poor and therefore need an assistance in renovating their house, you will also see that all that they would need for the wedding in terms of food and drinks are being demanded from you, it could be as a result of their poor financial standing and they see it as opportunity to get those things from you since their daughter has presented you as a "rich man" to them, the lady must be young and immature
My advise is that you call the lady and speak maturely to her, educate her on the need not to put pressure on her hubby when they are eventually married, counseling her that they have a bright future together
Sixty thousand naira as a starting salary is not bad if the couple won't live in Lagos, they can manage together but the issue of pressure from inlaws should be sorted out now
Please Sir, go ahead and assist them since you have made up your mind to do so and since you can afford it, don't allow the wedding to be suspended, it could turn out to be so bad especially for the lady, thanks

schrondinger:
I stay in ondo, buhari and jona will share d vote 50/50

GEJ will get 30% of votes in Ondo State only by rigging
The governor of Ondo State is finished politically

Ozin:
The SW will be a battle ground for votes and I see GEJ defeating the illiterate general there. The illiterate general will carry the NW for obvious reasons. The NE will be another battle ground for votes and I see GEJ taking Adamawa and Taraba with simple majority. Gej will score 40% in Borno and Gombe, not too sure of Bauchi and the Illiterate general will win Yobe. GEJ will win these NC states of Nasarrawa, Plateau, Benue and Kogi state, while Niger and Kwara may fall to the illiterate General


The illiterate general scored about 12Million votes across the country in 2011 shows not every voter that makes 18Million in the NW will vote for him no matter what

You are daydreaming!

PDP will fail

Presidential Contest A Do-Or-Die

To Win Election

An inaugural meeting of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Southwest
was held in Akure on Saturday with
the objective of outlining a strategy
for winning the 2015 elections in the
area, with Ekiti State governor Ayo
Fayose reiterating the party’s old
mantra that the presidential contest
is a “do or die” affair.
Ayodele Fayose
The returnee-governor said the party
must be prepared to use its control
of the army and the police, which it
currently controls, to ensure victory
for President Goodluck Jonathan at
next month’s polls.
The meeting was organized by the
PDP South-West co-ordinator, Gov.
Olusegun Mimiko, who shared the
high table with Senitor Iyiola
Omisore, Mr. Kolapo Ogunjobi,
Senator Musilu Obanikoro, Governor
Ayo Fayose and various leaders from
the zone.
Governor Fayose underlined that the
presidential election was critical,
advising that the party should forget
about governorship elections and
concentrate on the presidential
contest. According to him, once
President Jonathan was re-elected,
everything else would fall into place
and the party could declare the
governorship candidates of PDP in
various States as it likes.
Minutes of the meeting obtained by
SaharaReporters shows that some
delegates advocated de-emphasizing
rallies as campaign strategy,
preferring that the PDP should focus
on propaganda aimed at tarnishing
the image of the presidential
candidate of the All Progressives
Congress, General Muhammadu
Buhari. Some of the delegates
wanted to use the media to dent the
image of General Buhari.
In that connection, Senator Omisore
expressed support for the extensive
use of propaganda against Buhari,
joining Governor Fayose in stressing
that the all efforts should be
mobilized to win the Presidency
because the PDP would be nothing
without the presidency.
Mr. Fayose disagreed with the
propaganda strategy, describing it as
a waste of time. Stressing that attack
is the best form of defence, he said
that the PDP in general and the
South-west PDP should be valiant to
face the Tinubus anywhere they are.
He underlined that the PDP cannot
afford to lose its control of the police
and the army, which it will without
Jonathan being the president.
On Fayose’s description of the
presidential election as a “do or die”
affair, Gov. Mimiko, obviously aware
that the outburst could be used
against the PDP, countered that it
should not be a “do or die” but
rather a “do-and-win” affair.
One of the decisions taken by the
meeting was to set up a number of
committees, including Security,
Contacts, Traditional, and INEC.
The committee on Security is saddled
with the responsibility of working
with the police and the army. The
party leaders also further tasked the
students at both the national and
regional levels to monitor various
institutions and polling booths to
make sure that the election goes in
favour of President Jonathan. It was
also stated that a national student
body had submitted a proposal for a
youth conference that will hold in
FUTA this month where the South-
west students would adopt Jonathan
as their presidential candidate.
TEXT OF THE MINUTES OF THE
INAUGURAL MEETING OF THE SOUTH
WEST
PDP, HELD ON 27TH DECEMBER 2014
The inaugural meeting of the
southwest PDP was held in Akure, at
the Government House of the State
(Ondo State).
The meeting was organized by the
PDP South-West co-ordinator, Gov.
Olusegun Mimiko. On the high table
were Gov. Olusegun Mimiko, Senitor
Iyiola Omisore, Mr. Kolapo Ogunjobi,
Senator Musilu Obanikoro, Governor
Ayo Fayose, a governorship aspirant
in Oyo State and various leaders from
the South-West.
At the beginning of the meeting, the
host appealed to all the South-West
PDP members and leaders to be
united so as for them to be able to
gain more votes from the zone. And
people were given opportunity to give
opinion on how they could get more
votes for the presidential election in
2015 and win other positions.
A speaker from Lagos State made a
comment that Senator Muslim
Obanikoro’s son, Ibrahim Obanikoro,
that contested for the position of
council chairman in one of the
LCDA’s in Lagos State, defeated Sen.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu in his area but
was not given the position. He
mentioned that that they had the key
in winning Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu and that Asiwaju only claims
what he cannot do.
And the speaker further said that they
needed the support of the Presidency
to do so many things in Lagos State,
concerning the forth-coming election.
Also, another speaker from Lagos
State emphasized on issue of
disbursement of funds for the
election. He stressed that funds were
always late for disbursement for
elections, so they wanted early
disbursement so that they could
deliver.
While another speaker from another
state said they were happy for the
meeting because it would foster
peace among the southwest PDP
members and that they could move
on easily.
A speaker from Oyo State laid
emphasis on use of the media and
said the party should go more on the
media attack on the opposition party
(APC). He mentioned that effective
use of the media was the weapon
being used by APC. Gov. Mimiko now
stated that they made findings of who
were the owners of some dailies and
that it was discovered that those
media outfits did not belong to
members of the APC, and thus PDP
could equally hijack the media.
A speaker from Osun State that he
had told Gov. Mimiko to help them
tell the President to use his power
and office to quash Ogbeni
Aregbesola before the general
elections, so that PDP could produce
more votes for the President and that
the idea of fighting Gov. Aregbesola
would be by going to the Court of
Appeal which he said could be
influenced to remove Aregbesola. So,
he urged the honourable leaders of
our amiable party to look into the
issue of Osun State.
Discussions now moved on to the
strategy that would be used for
winning the presidential election;
• Delegates present at the meeting
discussed more on campaign that
they should do less of rallies,
instead, they should embark on full
campaign with propaganda that
would tarnish the image of APC
presidential candidate, Gen. Buhari.
And part of what should be used use
to campaign against Gen. Buhari in
Lagos is that he was the one who
stopped the Railway metro project of
Lagos State 30 years ago, and that
instead of Buhari completing the
project, he paid the penalty for
breaching the contract of the railway
metro line project.
• Delegates present laid serious
emphasis on using the media to dent
the image of the presidential
candidate of APC.
Some delegates maintained that the
change that the emperor of
Bourdillon wanted to change Nig.
democracy to totalitarian dictatorship.
Members stated that when PDP had
no State in the South-west, the
President got good votes from the
South-west and now that the party
has two States, it would be able to
win all the other States if the two
States in its kitty are well utilised.
Senator Omisore said in his speech
that propaganda of any form shoule
be utilised and that all efforts should
be mobilized to win the Presidency
as without the presidency the party is
nothing.
In the speech of Mr. Ayo Fayose, he
said propaganda would only waste
time and that attack is the best from
of defence. He maintained that the
party in general and the South-west
PDP needed to be valiant to face the
Tinubus anywhere they are. He
further said we have the control of
police and the army and “I CAN NOT
AFFORD TO LOSE MY CONTROL ON
POLICE AND THE ARMY” and without
Jonathan being the president we will
lose the control. Further, he said the
presidential election is a do or die
affair but Gov. Mimiko quickly
countered that it should not be a do
or die affair but rather a do-and-win
affair.
Governor Fayose later said they
should forget about all governorship
elections and concentrate on the
presidential election, that once
President Jonathan returns, we could
be declaring the governorship
candidates of PDP in various States
as they like, meaning that the
Presidential election is very
paramount.
As the meeting progressed, leaders
at the meeting put Oyo State in focus
and maintained that PDP could get
more votes for the president there by
begging both Chief Alao Akala and
Chief Rasheed Ladoja to align their
parties with the PDP since they have
no presidential aspirant and there is
every need to throw out Ajimobi,
Amosun with using militant thugs
loyal to PDP.
Mr. Kolapo Ogunjobi representing
Otunba Gbenga Daniel said they PDP
on ground in Ijebu side of Ogun State
and they were grassrooters and that
they could deliver with good
resources.
Sen. Musilu Obanikoro in his own
speech said 3 days after he lost the
PDP primary election, that Asiwaju
Bola Ahmed Tinubu came to him in
private which he said was quite
unusual of him. He said Tinubu
asked him how much he had spent
and that he was ready to give him 2
billion Naira and a senatorial seat
from APC in Lagos State. He said he
refused the offer and stressed that
they could just imagine how smart
and clever Asiwaju is. He further
stated that Cardinal James
Odunmbaku (Baba Eto) was almost
at the concluding part of decamping
to PDP and that even he had even
concluded with the presidency in Aso
Rock before Asiwaju hijacked him
back with the position of Director-
General of Campaign of Mr.
Akinwunmi Ambode. He said they
could see that Tinubu is the smart
type. Senator Obanikoro further said
he was the only person that could
match Bola Ahmed Tinubu because
he said he knew his tactics. He
further emphasized that with cash in
his hand, Tinubu is nobody.
While Governor Fayose intervened by
saying that there was nothing special
in Lagos and that he normally visited
markets in Lagos every weekend and
before the people in the market
would recognize him, they would
have said so many things in his
presence that they won’t know.
Govenor Fayose further said he was
coming to Lagos to teach people the
market approach to sensitizing the
people on the need to support PDP
and dump APC.
After all this, the communiqué
prepared sequel to which the press
was allowed entry into the place for a
brief coverage before they were
dispersed again. At the end, they set
up various committees on such areas
as:
• SECURITY
• TRADITIONAL
• CONTACTS
• INEC etc.
Committee on contacts will meet
important personalities to canvass
them, they mention people like Jimoh
Ibrahim in Ondo, the Ogun people
mentioned Sen. Anthony Adefuye as
part of the personalities to be visited,
and many other personalities.
Committee on INEC would monitor
various INEC commissioners in
various south-west states and try as
much as possible to lure them with
money to compromise in favour of
our great party.
Committee on traditional rulers would
meet up all Obas in the southwest
for consultation on the presidential
election and use financial
gratification to lure them as many of
them really need stomach
infrastructure, according to Governor
Fayose. Governor Mimiko maintained
that many of those Obas are actually
hungry and with good amount of
money they could get them to
support PDP
Committee on security is saddled
with the responsibility to work with
the police and the army. Leaders of
the party further tasked the students
at both the National (NANS) and
southwest level, state level to
monitor various institutions, polling
booths and make sure that the
election would go in favour of
Jonathan. It was also observed that
the National body of student (NANS)
submitted a proposal for a youth
conference that will hold in FUTA in
January where the South-west
students would adopt Jonathan as
their presidential candidate.
Some leaders also talked about
APC’s strategy of deploying 10
persons per polling booth and that
they were aware of it and stated that
all leaders should task themselves to
use councilors in all their various
booths.
Lastly, the South-west coordinator
said the next meeting that would hold
in Ibadan which would involve fund-
raising for the presidential election
from stakeholders of the PDP south-
west and the meeting would be used
to shake Oyo once again urging that
the Governorship aspirant of PDP to
be prepared.
The meeting ended with closing
prayer from a delegate from Ondo
State.
