You've spoken the mind of many who are thinking the same but concerned about the online backlash they might suffer.
It'll help if pictures can be provided.

Dear Buhari the National Assembly is an independent arm of government. .

This is democracy.. Call all assembly members to a nice meal in Aso villa and resolve this issue amicably.

Actually I disagree with u. Last year the entire US govt shut down because of disagreement btw both parties. This is common with countries practising multiparty democracy

blackpanda:
Really?? Interesting u say that cos not too long ago this same wike swore he wont touch amaechi's projects in the state, including the monorail. So how did policy trump politics overnight

He was OBJ's candidate for 2015 before GEJ dealt with him. It was meant to be a Lamido/Amaechi PDP 2015 ticket.

I think he stands a chance in 2019

mo, are you preggy?

The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja today struck out the application filed by the embattled Senate President, Bukola Saraki seeking a stay of proceeding of his trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal over allegations of corruption.  

Justice Abdul Aboki who led the 3 man panel, gave the ruling after the defence counsel; Kanu Agabi applied for its withdrawal saying it would be better for them to base their application on the substantive motion which bordered on the jurisdiction of the tribunal to try the Senate president.

 The court asked the parties to file and perfect all their documents to enable the parties to get a new date for a hearing.
 
SaharaReporters learnt that Saraki and his lawyers changed their mind upon discovering that they had not filed the appropriate papers detail a reason for the strange appeal.

The Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court had already decided that the tribunal has jurisdiction in the case.

 Mr. Saraki's trial at the CCT will resume again on Wednesday.

If the state governors were averse to saving – and we readily admit that they were and still are – did they stop her and Jonathan from doing so? The subsisting revenue sharing formula gives 52.68 per cent to the Federal Government; a government committed to “efforts to save in the excess crude account and the SWF” would have still saved its own share, irrespective of the profligacy of state governors.

Just as the governors did not stop her and Jonathan from saving the federal share of the ECA, they did not force them either to deplete special funds or grant the waivers, exemptions and concessions that the Nigerian Customs Service said cost the country N1.4 trillion in the three years to 2014, in contradiction to her own claim of N170.7 billion for the same period. If what was happening under Jonathan was in conflict with her “high moral standards,” why did she not resign?

SamuelAnyawu:
Approach? That's the work of Amaechi as a Minister.. Should they beg him to do his job?

No effort was made by the president to soften his stance, only NASS is making such an effort because they understand what we the masses are going through. What kind of president would act like this for God sake?

They say when two Elephants fight, the grass suffers, NASS is doing this because of us, but the president could care less if we suffer or not as long as he shows everyone how POWERFUL he is, smh

No, Nass is doing this because ;

1. They can't muster 2/3 to veto PMB

2. The extent of their cannibalisation of the budget is now public knowledge.


By the way, you are not the only person whose week is going south (pun intended) cos of NASS acquiescence to PMB's wishes, it's major distressing news for all wailers who previously thought;

A. They can continue to perpetuate the Bubu hates the south narrative (as crazy & flawed a it is.)

B. The NASS will cut Bubu to size, Nah, dem nor reach, na learners dem be!!

“A debate about who is right or wrong is unhelpful in the circumstance; and in any case, does not advance the cause of our country men and women whose interest we have been elected to serve.

The duo of Goje and Jibrin also asked their colleagues to stop crucifying them and take responsibilities over the controversies in the budget to be able to resolve the impasse.

“However, we must put it on record that the details aggregated and transmitted to the executive are largely the inputs we received from the standing committees of both the Senate and the House of Representatives,

The issue Doutheast has is Anambra State. If not we could have united and achieved enviable strides. Nigeria is better as a united country than divided into tiny fragments and it is our duty to keep it united.

While illegal miners and Fulani herdsmen are worries that should be addressed (like I said we need another thread for that), comparing that to pipeline vandals is like comparing 'apples and monkeys' -- that's how far apart.

Read the article again with an open mind, and tell me the 2 other ills you mentioned are comparable to pipeline vandalism.
