BuhariLooter: Igbos should be thinking of how to increase exports from the SE like Singapore and not Presidency, all the Igbos want is enabling environment, open the Eastern Seaports and waterways, patronage of their goods by other Nigerians, fix the federal roads and they will be fine.
globemoney: Go to school you will refuse and now nwabobo is swindling you with fake news. Anambra is still the least indebted state in Nigeria and that’s despite projects completed by Obiano in less than 6 years, far more than what the China vp wannabe Peter Obi did for Anambra
Blue3k2: Lol you're not going to call the mod again sissy? Your clown culture is hilarious. Ignorance and hypocrisy are your two biggest virtues. You make noise but when its time to back your points you run away.
nwabobo: Nwanna, Obiano has finished Anambra. The damage that has done to Anambra finances will take decades to correct.
Not only has he liquidated a significant portion of the dollar investments left by Obi, he has borrowed more than all governors before him combined.
Obiano has taken our domestic debt to over N30bn from N2bn Obi left it at and foreign debt has ballooned from $25M to $107M but people like globemoney are here defending the failed governor due to crumbs they get from Ifeanyi Aniagoh.
Blue3k2: Lol you're not going to call the mod again sissy? Your clown culture is hilarious. You make noise but when its time to back your points you run away.
Blue3k2: Lol calling and instead of debating point. I guess you guys really guys are judt hypocrital clowns. You call me illiterate then run mods like a little girl.
ChristianNorth: Garfield1 is a failure. Anyone he supports, loses. Tinubu is smarter than everyone of you combined but I don't understand why he is so serious about Gbaja.
IMO, it is a political suicide.
If I were Tinubu, I will cede that position to MB and Deputy Speaker to SE and then support SS for DSP and Lawan for SP.
These would give him powerful alliances for 2023. Take it or leave it, without SE he can never make an incursion into SS politically and without SE/SS it will be difficult to have MB (Nasarawa, Taraba, Plateau, Benue) are Pro-south and last year they applied to join the Southern Leaders Forum.
CyynthiaKiss: Maybe those that are criticizing Nnamdi Kanu want him to turn to gay like thèse below.. All from a particular group . (Yorob muslin) That is what they adore and worship... If not why would Yoruba Musliñ worry about what husband and wife do in their bedroom ?
I expect nothing less from the op whose kinsmen assisted in electing a lifeless being as president. Need i add that his region is controlled by a drug barron
buharitill2023: Op is jobless, and he could not use his joblessness to ask the VP of the jobless aggressive lazy idiotic pigs of Bia-fra terrorist organization why he is a drug dealer and a wheeler dealer.
cute9ja: Holding your leaders accountable has nothing to do with law suits For example, the first question is very simple. Where did he serve and it what year? Several Nigerian leaders have been held accountable in recent times concerning their NYSC. A Finance minister resigned because of NYSC An APC governorship aspirant and current minster of communication was yanked off primaries because of NYSC Who is the lazy Nigerian youth, the one that asks questions and demand accountability from leaders, or the ones that keep quiet and form voltron for their ethnic champions?[/s]
If you want accountability as you pointed out, start by organising a protest against the likes of ganduje oshomole maina babachir and every corrupt politicians. In addition write petitions against the above mentioned persons. Approach the court to order the anti corruption agencies to commence investigations and if possible institute criminal proceedings against these politicians. That way i will acknowledge you as a hard working, patrotic citizen rather than a lazy youth that is chasing shadows where non exists
mekaboy: This investigation is useless as it does not provide jobs. Atiku is a job creator, Obi is a job creator, Nigerians need jobs.
Buhari worked under Abacha and till today, he has never condemned Abacha for looting. So you don't expect over 180 million to gamble with their destiny under a failure, because of fake integrity.
The same buhari wanted to jail Atiku for attempting to search briefcases containing the same foreign currency for which FELA was jailed. So that anti- corruption has cost us over 12 million jobs. Made us poverty capital of the world.
It's stale news. This would have worked in 2015 when Nigerians never knew how incompetent buhari was have you ever heard Aisha Buhari blame corruption as the reason we are suffering in this administration? She knows it's the incompetence of her husband and the cabal running Nigeria on his behalf.
This Administration is rated higher in corruption.
So Carry this rubbish to his 150 cows in daura, it will make more sense to them.
The Vice Presidential debate has further strengthened what we know about PDP's Vice Presidential candidate, Peter Obi. His half-truths and misleading exaggerations have once again been brought to the fore.
There are many things that are unclear, for which Nigerians demand answers:
1. Where did Obi serve under NYSC and in what year?
2. Obi's resume is silent on his early employment history. Where did he work before he became the chairman of Next International?
3. Who funded the acquisition of Obi's house in London just 3 years after graduating from school...Next International or Obi?
4. How much did Obi earn between 1984- 1987 to afford a posh property in London?
5. Is there any truth to the allegation that Obi's business deals in Brazil in the late 1980s involved illicit drugs?
6. How much taxes did Obi & Next International pay between 1984 and 1987 or was Obi & his company exempted from Tax?
7. Why did Obi hide his ownership of flats in Ikoyi & London? Is he hiding the source of funds?
8. How many shares did Obi assign to his company, Next International when he invested Anambra's money in Intafact Beverages
odiks: 1. When Atiku was campaigning for the pdp primaries, he visited and consulted regularly with the SE pdp leaders. What was the difficulty and rationale not consulting these same members on your choice of running mate zoned to the region?
2. Since 1993, when the concept of geopolitical zones were introduced into our polity, the political leadership of every zone have been consulted for political nominees zoned to their geo political zones..Why is the SE case different under Atiku?
3. In 1993, the northern political leadership nominated Kingibe as MKO running mate even though MKO had in mind Boss Mustapha. Why is the case of SE different under Atiku?
4. In 1999,the northern political establishment nominated Atiku a governorship elect to be obasanjo running mate. Obasanjo had other candidates in mind. Why should SE case be different under Atiku?
5. In 2007,the northern political establishment nominated Yara Adua as obasanjo successor . Yara Adua also wrote officially to the Niger delta leader Edwin Clark to nominate his running mate zoned to the region. Edwin clark nominated GEJ. Why should SE case under Atiku be different?
6. In 2015, Buhari equally wrote and declared in public for the SW APC leader Tinubu to nominate his running mate. Which was zoned to the region.
7..In the history of pdp, no running mate of any president has been selected from a non pdp state. Why is the case of SE under Atiku different?
8. SE has 3 pdp states and Governors. So why settle for an APGA ex Governor from a non pdp state ,when we have 3 ,100 percent pdp states ?
9. Is Atiku meeting with obasanjo a card tearing member of the pdp and founder of the ADC party for endorsement more important than meeting SE pdp lesders to discuss the choice of a running mate ,zoned to the SE?
10.. Would Atiku had treated the SW or northern pdp leaders with such levity or political ambushing?
11. Or is it because the SE Governors have been the most loyal to the pdp when others like Atiku , Saraki and others defected or that.,the pdp does not reward loyalty or the normal use and dump attitude of Atiku?
12. Atiku or any nigerian politician cannot serve just one term.. It has never happened..If Atiku was not power drunk, after spending 8 years in office as VP, he will not be seeking the position of president on every political platform.
If the deputy senate president and SE Governors were not consulted who did Atiku consult or he feels,winning the pdp flabmgbearership is as good as winning the elections? Buhari is still very and extremely popular in the north..
Basher8583: Ranting on social media will not help you. You can't have a certain win is a disorganised region. You have to be united before such win can be certain.
[/s] You are not from the east and as a result, i understand the reasons for this novice post.
devindevin2000: Simple: The governors betrayed Atiku. They had agreement months before primaries that if the delegates they controlled voted for him/Atiku, he will pick Soludo as VP, proposed by the governors. Guess what? Atiku found out that the delegates they controlled mostly voted for Tambuwal, reneging on their agreement.
So Atiku winning with delegates not controlled by the governors, decided to work with those Igbo leaders responsible for those delegates voting for him. These leaders, along with SS leaders, adopted Peter Obi.
These governors are charlatans, they want to eat their cake and have it too. They know what they did but now forming betrayal!
Also, not connected with the agreement, Atiku did not want a VP controlled by special interest or outside forces that will cause problem between him and his VP in the future. He wants a man with his own mind, political clout and with no godfathers! A man just like himself with success in business, strong financial war chest and served in government at various levels. Also Atiku has known Obi for years, worked with him, even at banking level for his business.
KEVIND: A former National Security Adviser, Colonel Sambo Dasuki (rtd), 13 former governors and seven ex- ministers have been barred from travelling out of the country under Executive Order 6 (EO6) issued yesterday by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The restriction followed the judicial affirmation of the constitutionality and legality of the Executive Order 6 (EO6).
The watch-list and restriction were put in place pending the conclusion of the cases against those affected.
Also on the watch list seen last night by The Nation are: ex-governors Saminu Turaki (Jigawa), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Adebayo Alao-Akala (Oyo), Gabriel Suswam (Benue), Rasheed Ladoja (Oyo), Orji Uzor Kalu (Abia), Danjuma Goje (Gombe), Attahiru Bafarawa (Sokoto), Muazu Babangida Aliyu (Niger); Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Gbenga Daniel (Ogun); and Ibrahim Shehu Shema (Katsina).
The ex-ministers are Nenadi Usman, Bashir Yuguda, Jumoke Akinjide; Bala Mohammed; Abba Moro; Femi Fani-Kayode; and Ahmadu Fintiri.
Others include a former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshal Alex Badeh; ex- Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral A. D. Jibrin; a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Mohammed Dikko Umar; a former Inspector-General of Police, Sunday Ehindero; and a former Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Adesola Amosu; Chairman Emeritus of AIT/ Raypower, High Chief Raymond Dokpesi; Waripamowei Dudafa (a former Special Assistant (Domestic) to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan); a former Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Innocent Umezulike; a former judge of the Federal High Court, Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia;
Also on the list are a former National Publicity Secretary of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh; Chief Jide Omokore; Ricky Tarfa; and Dele Belgore (SAN).
Most of the affected persons are currently facing trial for alleged corrupt practices in different courts. The list was generated from cases and proceedings filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), the Nigeria Police, and 17 other agencies. The document indicated that many of those affected had earlier been placed on similar legal restrictions by the courts and security agencies including restriction of movement, seizure of passport, temporary forfeiture of assets, freezing of accounts and others.
Explaining the government’s action in a statement yesterday, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), Mallam Garba Shehu said: “Following the instant judicial affirmation of the constitutionality and legality of the Executive Order 6 (EO6), President Muhammadu Buhari has mandated the Attorney-General of the Federation and the Minister of Justice to implement the Order in full force.
“To this end, a number of enforcement procedures are currently in place by which the Nigeria Immigration Service and other security agencies have placed no fewer than 50 high profile persons directly affected by EO6 on watch-list and restricted them from leaving the country pending the determination of their cases.
“Also, the financial transactions of these persons of interest are being monitored by the relevant agencies to ensure that the assets are not dissipated and such persons do not interfere with, nor howsoever corrupt the investigation and litigation processes.
“It is instructive to note that EO6 was specifically directed to relevant law enforcement agencies to ensure that all assets within a minimum value of N50 million or equivalent, subject to investigation or litigation are protected from dissipation by employing all available lawful means, pending the final determination of any corruption-related matter. “The Buhari administration reassures all well-meaning and patriotic Nigerians of its commitment to the fight against corruption, in accordance with the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and the general principles of the Rule of Law.
“Accordingly, this administration will uphold the rule of law in all its actions and the right of citizens would be protected as guaranteed by the Constitution. “We, therefore, enjoin all Nigerians to cooperate with the law enforcement authorities towards ensuring a successful implementation of the Executive Order 6 which is a paradigm-changing policy of the Federal Government in the fight against corruption.”
A top government official, who spoke in confidence, said there is no cause for alarm on E06. The source said: “The ban is not different from the conditions given by the court in granting these accused persons bail. The E06 is like a codification of steps to prevent those on trial for alleged corrupt practices from tampering with assets.
“Some of these accused persons used to go to court for permission before they can travel out of the country. The E06 is not a new thing but instead of all agencies working at cross-purposes, a list was generated and backed with the Executive Order. “Some of those on trial, especially the Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) had been selling their assets. What will they return after being convicted?”
What is the name of Justice Umezulike that was buried about three weeks ago doing on that list? Buhari Apc and all its supporters are cursed. Our prayers are needed for the self acclaimed change mantra vagabonds.
adaphic: "The gang-up against Peter Obi by Umahi, Chris Uba, Ike Ekweremadu and some other Igbo politicians afraid of the towering influence of Peter Obi in the Atiku camp, has woefully failed.
Atiku reportedly told a stakeholders meeting this afternoon in Abuja that 'Sink or Swim, I will not change my choice of Peter Obi as my Vice President. This man stood by me all these months before any of you raising objections even came on board. I don't play with loyalty and honesty. Not only for his loyalty, he has the prefect qualities needed to run my government as my second-in-command. And he is popular; the masses love him. He's an acceptable choice across ethnic groups in the country. I have made my choice and we should work towards the victory of our ticket and our party'.
There was nothing those in opposition could say after that. Peter Obi's name has been forwarded to the INEC list by the PDP.
#Atikulated"
Good. The kind of mobilisation we will carry out for this combo will be unprecedented in the history of igboland. I feel sorry for the other parties in the east. They won't even smell five per cent. Those shameless governors want to reap where they did not sow. After voting for tambawal, they want to dictate to atiku whom to select as his running mate. Bunch of jokers.
