YOUR PARTY AGENTS SIGNED THE RECORD SHEETS WITHOUT COMPLAINTS OF OVER VOTING.
APC TI FAILED completely.

sinkhole:
The management of Ekiti State Government-owned Bamidele Olumilua University of Science and Technology, Ikere Ekiti has proscribed all the staff unions in the institution.

The acting Registrar, B.S. Momoh, said the step was necessary as the unions, through their actions, were distracting the university from its development vision and mission.

Momoh, in a memo to the university community, titled, ‘Proscription of staff unions in BOUESTI,’ listed the affected bodies as Academic Staff Union of Universities, Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, and Non-Academic Staff Union of Universities.

He said that the situation in the university had been “one day one trouble” since June 2, when the unions protested against the activities of the instruction’s Governing Council.

Momoh stated, “The management views these acts as unbecoming of and unexpected of responsible staff members hiding under the guise of union activism.

“BOUESTI, being a new university, certainly does not need these distractions if it must develop properly to fulfill the vision and mission for which it was established. It has, therefore, become imperative to ensure that irresponsible acts like these are avoided in our university.

“After a review of the incidents and in line with the directive of Ekiti State Governor and Visitor to the university, the three trade unions in BOUESTI – ASUU, SNANU and NASU are hereby proscribed with immediate effect.

“Members of staff are hereby enjoined to go about their normal duties without fear and desist from getting involved in unlawful activities.”

I can tell you n your likes want to give us another Buhari we say no ..they must all talk

iSense247:
Abdulkarim, I can't stoop so low to your level. Continue to misyarn all you want. What I know is that your lord Tinubu can never be president.

etrouble:
he former Minister of Communications and Director General of the Asiwaju Tinubu-Shettima Coalition for Good Governance, Adebayo Shittu, in this interview with ADEBAYO FOLORUNSHO-FRANCIS, relives the intrigues that led to his non-reappointment for second time as minister, the contentious Muslim-Muslim ticket and why some All Progressives Congress politicians are still angry with Tinubu

How will you react to the protest of the APC Northern Christians over Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s Muslim-Muslim ticket?

I don’t want to believe there is anything called APC for Northern Christians or Muslims. I see that as rubbish. The APC is not a religious organisation but a political party guided strictly by Nigerian laws and the constitution of the party. I have not seen in what way Tinubu violated either the constitution of Nigeria or that of the APC.

If he violates such a constitution, people should know what to do; head straight for the court. If it is that of the APC that Tinubu violated, of course, the party should know what to do. I suspect that some people who have been positioning themselves for the vice presidential candidacy ticket, with religion as the major determinant and not satisfied with the choice of Shettima, are trying to sensationalise the issue.

Are you saying their anger was not justified?

I am not speaking for Tinubu, but I want to say with all sense of humility and as a knowledgeable Nigerian who also happens to be in the APC, that the candidate was not elected as a flagbearer because he was a Muslim. He was elected out of the 23 aspirants because he was considered to be the most suitable person who could give other parties a good fight. And he also didn’t choose his running mate based on religion but on zone and who could best deliver the votes from the region that he comes from.

There are Christian candidates such as Yakubu Dogara, Boss Mustapha, and Babachir Lawal from the same region who can also deliver good votes. Isn’t it?

I can’t say unless you give me evidence of their electoral productivity. Elections are not a matter of people taking risks.

However, when you have people threatening that because they are Christians from the North, they won’t vote, they are just shooting themselves in the legs. Are you saying that Muslims did not contribute to voting for Yakubu Dogara during his election or Senator Elisha Abbo from Adamawa? Can they win without the Muslims’ votes? These are the issues. They ought not to have limited the whole thing to just religion. It is not even in their interests. In any case, the general election is near. Let’s see what happens.

Why did Tinubu refuse to address the grievances among co-aspirants and party chieftains such as Babachir Lawal, allowing them to linger for too long?

You cannot force an unwilling horse to drink water. Babachir is the closest Nigerian to Tinubu, and he has been touting this even when we were together as members of the same Federal Executive Council. He also never fails to mention that it was even Tinubu who recommended him to Buhari for the position of the SGF. If he now thinks the proper thing is for him to bite the finger that fed him, it is up to his conscience.

What exactly is Tinubu’s running mate, Shettima, bringing to the table?

As I mentioned earlier, an election is not where any candidate will want to take unnecessary risks. Remember that our vice presidential candidate is someone who for eight years sustained governance and orderliness in a zone nearly occupied by Boko Haram and ISWAP criminals.

Does that explain the reason Tinubu chose him?

Was that not a good enough reason to look for somebody who can be trusted to run good governance? We want to win votes, and we thank God we have somebody who delivers. It wouldn’t have made sense to pick a minority. It is about who can deliver the votes, and it is the prerogative of the presidential candidate to choose his running mate. It is not about religion.

We are preparing for an election. It is the prerogative of the presidential candidate to choose who he deems fit and whose votes can make him win at the poll.

By the grace of God, we will defeat Atiku even in Adamawa, his home state.

When exactly is Tinubu reaching out to the aggrieved Christian community?

I am sure my principal has been doing his best to reach out to the Christian community. At least other Christians in the country are rubbishing what Christian Association of Nigeria and other religious bigots are saying. We don’t owe anybody an apology to prove that point.

What is Tinubu doing about the reported internal wrangling among co-aspirants and party chieftains tearing the party apart?

We have seen the result of his face-off with Aregbesola (Minister of Interior, Rauf) at the last Osun election and how Osinbajo has gone quiet after the primary.

Osun’s case is a local problem and cannot be used as a yardstick. This is because a lot of people in Osun are saying they don’t have any problem with Tinubu. They stated that their grouse was with Governor Adegboyega Oyetola.

..was he (Oyetola) accused of not performing up to expectations?

No, he performed very well. The major allegation against him was that he was not providing state party leaders and supporters with “stomach infrastructure,” which became a problem. That was why I said it was a local problem.

Other than that, the people, including some PDP elements, kept saying they would definitely vote for Tinubu in the presidential election. I am sure you have heard or seen some of these video clips online during the Osun election.

In any case, wherever there is a presidential election, only one person will win.

What about Amaechi’s recent outburst and the allegation by APC’s youngest aspirant, Nicholas Felix, that he was shut out by Tinubu’s camp?

Wasn’t Nicholas the aspirant who stepped down for Osinbajo? I don’t know about that because Osinbajo himself was visited by our principal after the primary. Is it somebody who is an appendage to Osinbajo, with due respect to him, that is now complaining?

A lot of these things can be politically settled. It is not everything we should be bringing to public space. They don’t have to involve people who will further inflame passion.

With regard to Amaechi, who alleged that APC delegates were induced to vote in the presidential primary? Is he saying all those who contested with him and supported Asiwaju were also bought with money? That is ridiculous.

As the Bible says, let him without sin cast the first stone. I want the public to disregard those statements.

Due to rising insecurity, naira devaluation and economic challenges faced by the country, there is a palpable fear among Nigerians that Tinubu may not have the answers to all the challenges. What do you think?

Do you see a better alternative to a Tinubu presidency? Can you name a better candidate than the one you have in mind that can surmount all these challenges? This is the same Tinubu who ran Lagos State for eight years excellently. That record remains the most relevant among his peers, politically speaking. He has the best testimonials of those who have ever governed any state in this country.

When you came in as Minister of Communication, many people believed your position was a sort of compensation for something by Buhari’s administration. How true is it?

Are you implying that Buhari just picked me from the streets? Of course, I worked for his success.

In 2011, I was the governorship candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change in Oyo State. As you can see, he didn’t pick me up from the streets. And when we came together for a merger with other parties, I was one of the representatives of the CPC in the merger committee. I am bold to say nobody has done better than me in Oyo State. What should Buhari have done? Will he take the chance on a stranger who had nothing to do with the formation of CPC and APC? My appointment came as a natural course of events.

What you are saying, in essence, is that your ministerial position wasn’t a form of compensation for loyalty. Isn’t it?

Loyalty can’t be in a vacuum. I was a major player. We are talking about a governorship candidate here, not an aspirant. I contested the election while he, on the other hand, ran for the office of the president.

In the end, neither of us made it in 2011. I consistently contributed to the activities of CPC and APC. Tell me, should he pick other people than me who have contributed more than any other party member?

What about the political intrigues that led to your removal from office as Communications Minister?

I was never removed as minister because I served my complete term in office. However, I was not reappointed a second time. I have put all the circumstances of my non-reappointment behind me.

Clearly, some people were envious and blackmailed me with speculation that I caused the defeat of APC in Oyo State. The question is how? Did anybody do anything when I was crying out that the former governor was messing up APC in the state?

The governor would not allow free and fair congresses or primary elections and was dictating everything with a number of people supporting his move.

See question

If you're educated then it's all a waste of time and resources. Your parents should sue all the schools you attended for a refund because they scammed him.

So, why do companies conduct exams and interviews before employing workers? Do you even know how daft you sound with that senseless question?

Well, I'm not surprised, like tinubu like followers.

May God forbid BAT things!!!

Tinubu is campaigning vote my votes and the votes of Nigerians

We Nigerians are setting a standard for who we would vote

What's wrong with tinubu telling us his ideas himself

mrvitalis:
Buhari didn't conduct any interview he only read speeches ...he was never grilled thy journalist like they do to obi

Any one runing away from live interviews is hiding a big flaw and his handlers know that fact ...any body who refuses to attend this year's debate should not be voted

abobote:
He went there to beg for Atiku

If Buhari conducted one hour interview in 2015 we won't be here today because we would have seen how empty he was

Vulturereloaded:
Hmmm. Though i am a tinubu supporter, but the future of his country scares me under APC.

Are you sure we should not let Peter Obi take it from here?

SmartPolician:
Nigeria is a not a serious country. That's why Nnamdi Kanu calls it a zoo. Tinubu can be president without granting one interview. All he needs to do is buy up some idiots to vote for him. He's already on course - we saw that in APC primary. He has been looting Lagos State money since 1999 so he has a lot of money to throw around.

I always tell those who care to listen that the biggest bane of democracy is that a very enlightened voter and one urchi.n have one vote each. Just imagine that Wole Soyinka, as educated and enlightened as he is, has one vote which is equal to a vote of one almajiri on the street of Kano.

Serious issues o, hope they can settle

The Senator representing Osun East and Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Customs and Excise, Francis Fadahunsi, has said that opposition parties in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, have made up their minds to sack the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan, if he made any attempt to frustrate the sacking process against the President, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), next month.

Fadahunsi, in an interview with journalists in Abuja on Wednesday, said majority of the senators across political party lines had already passed a vote of no confidence on Buhari because of his administration’s inability to address the worsening security situation in the country.

He expressed doubts about the President’s ability to tackle the security challenges currently facing the country in six weeks since he couldn’t do so for seven years.

He said, “We have been talking and giving suggestions on how we could end the insecurity challenges facing the country but the Head (Senate President) is hooked to the Villa. He has been frustrating all our moves to take drastic measures against the President.

“We have now made up our mind to strike now that the iron is still hot instead of wasting our time, cooperating with the Ahmad Lawan leadership while the nation is being destroyed by terrorists with no plan by the government to stop them. We won’t wait until we are all killed.

“We have now decided to pull out of the ‘rubber stamp’ arrangement so that the whole of Nigeria would know that we have not been in support of the failing economy, the huge debts accumulation, falling naira, insecurity across the country and the unprecedented forms of corruption going on in the polity.

“Unfortunately, the man heading us now (Lawan) was leading the opposition lawmakers before and was challenging the rots in the system then. Now, he doesn’t want anyone to challenge Buhari’s government when things are falling apart every day. Any leader that opposes such a challenge in a democratic setting must also be challenged because we are elected by the people.

“Go and interview most of the senators. There is no effective oversight of the ministries, departments and agencies of the Federal Government. Buhari will bring the budget and his people here will want us to pass it as he brings it. No examinations and heads of MDAs are doing what they like.”

Fadahunsi vowed that the impeachment proceedings would commence as soon as his colleagues resume their current six-week annual vacation on September 20.

“Those who voted for Buhari in 2015 thought he could contain the insecurity, being a former military general. Unfortunately, things are getting worse under his watch and he appeared helpless. That is why we resolved that if we come back on September 20 and discover that the situation is still the same, with no appreciable steps taken, we would impeach him.

“We will first impeach anyone who says we will not impeach Buhari. If anybody tries to block us here, whether the Senate President or anyone in the Senate, we will remove the person. Mr President is finding it difficult to sack his non-performing security chiefs while those terrorising the nation are not being arrested. There was tension everywhere and something drastic had to be taken,” he added.

The Peoples Democratic Party senators had walked out of the red chamber during plenary on Wednesday last week after Lawan blocked moves to commence impeachment process against Buhari over the security situation in the country.

Reacting to the development, presidential media aides, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, had both condemned the action of the opposition senators.

Adesina had said, “I think it (impeachment) was just bravado, and sadly, security is not something you subject to bravado. You don’t begin to issue flippant ultimatums in something that is a matter of life and death.”

Also, Shehu said, “The performative and babyish antics of those senators staging a walk out notwithstanding, Senate President Ahmad Lawan’s refusal on Wednesday to entertain the ridiculous motion to impeach our President was quite appropriate and correct.”

Tinubu and Buhari has the same similarities. Both are empty. Both hide behind aides to issue worthless statements. How can a presidential candidate not have the faculty to do a live interview even in his TV station and wants to be president?. Peter Obi has granted several interviews. Atiku has recently done one but Tinubu has done none. The only reason is his EMPTINESS. You can't give what you don't have. Recently, we were told that aides are preparing manifestos for him. I wonder who will have the time to read such crap. This reminds me of the Next Level Manifesto of Buhari which was done by aides. Buhari may not have read up to 2 pages of that document and his tenure is coming to an end. Tinubu should submit himself to countless interviews before Nigerian youths will even begin to take him serious. This is presidential race and not village union meeting.

The THUGGERY nature of a street urchin type of Dino is an early indication that the PDP got it wrong with another wrong inappropriate appointment.

CLEARLY, Dino IS THE BEST THE PDP COULD OFFER FOR INFORMATION MANAGEMNT OF THE CAMPAIGN OF THE PARTY’S PRESIDENTIAL BID.

A most FAULTY staggering move tells us where this is headed. The trash can of political history in Nigeria.

Redman44:
Hey, measure the feelings on the streets. People are disenchanted with APC and it is so sad that Tinubu is the APC candidate. All the recent stories about Tinubu and the exposes by David Hundeyin about the current governments ineptitude will work against the APC and Tinubu. An Osinbajo candidature would have helped the APC. See, lots of youths all over the country are OBIDIENTS.

Redman44:
Honestly, I don't see Tinubu winning the elections next year. Too many odds against APC. Apc will lose more states in the governorship elections. Yes, people will still vote for APC but the votes for LP and PDP will be more due to economic conditions in Nigeria. The battle is actually between LP and PDP. Labour Party and the OBI-Datti ticket is making serious inroads into Northern Nigeria. The election will be too close to call between the three parties.
