he has always been a fake man, so am not surprised he chose this wrong party!

APC has no business in Igboland, Rochas just handed an APGA party to APC and used power of incumbency to win re-election. APC will be booted out of South East in 2019! No matter what happens at the centre we don't care!

PDP needs a well managed and transparent primary process from the ward level up to Presidency in order to manage this defections

They can not do horse trading and imposition of candidates

PDP should not take these defections and goodwill of Nigerians for granted

I will like to see a proper transparent Presidential primary and ahead of that candidates running on PDP platform should be made to debate 3 times on the following topics and in different locations

Abuja debate should focus on National Security/Boko Haram/Fulani Herdsmen
Lagos debate should focus on Nigerian Economy/Diversification
Port Harcourt debate to focus of Post-Crude-Oil Nigeria as per electric cars in the WEST /Environment Protection/ Nigerian Diversity

Imagine the kind of following PDP will generate from the likes of Saraki, Atiku, Kwakwanso, Tambuwal, Sule Lamido going round the country in a marathon debate on Nigeria geo-political issues. That will take the Presidential run to levels that Buhari will not be able to keep up with.

But if PDP do the backroom horse trading like before, then that will hand Buhari the race!

where is the plane?

Welcome Home Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki, the next President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

where is the plane?

Another 2019 campaign stunt based on something that is not really there!

Please call us back when you have the plane jare

if this is true someone in INEC needs to go to Prison for it!

this nonsense must stop

I hope this can usher in a new beginning in which INEC will start providing a feedback/report on election that represents reality

No one expects INEC to be responsible for the behaviour of politicians, but INEC must report events as they are. Any attempt by INEC to report some electoral eutopia that don't exist simply makes INEC complicit in the rigging system


I think we need to even get to a point where it becomes a criminal offence for INEC representatives at polling units not to report electoral malpractices as they see them and it should be punishable under law if proven in court


In the same vein the wages of INEC permanent staff should be reviewed and ensured its a living wage!

Newpride:

when next you see your parents call them fools! They obviously gave you no home training!

idiot!

goshee:
and in a sane country an illiterate should be in the seat of power abi, in a sane country people should be dying like chicken, in a sane country the minister of finance should be a certificate forger, in a sane country terrorist Fulanis should be killing with presidential protection, in a sane country people should be spending years in IDP even when there is no war or any natural disaster, in a sane country govt should be comparing deaths with the past administration, in a sane country tinubu, amaech, oshomole, and their likes should be bishops and pastors, in a sane country buhari who disrupted democracy should be enjoying democracy and to save space. your brain is as dead as those NL residential Zombies led by Sarrki

Don't mind the fools, they hold Saraki to a completely different standard and will not subject Buhari to 1/10 of such standard

Yusuf Buhari is an IT Mogul commanding million dollar investments eventhough he has not worked before in his own right and his father kept on declaring 150 cows and 2 houses as their only assets for over a period of 12 years before 2015!

coleon:
Your comment stinks of contradictions and parochialism. In his capacity as the senate president, how has saraki fought corruption? By jerking up NASS budget and approving buying of cars! You even said saraki commands good followership and I laugh in Spanish, you think that followership is not because of the #1000.00 he shares to Alfas every morning in Ilorin.
Outside Ilorin saraki is a nobody in Nigeria, he should contest the presidency and let's see that followership.I don't know when u were born but from your comment it seems u are an indomie generation child because if u have lost money in societe generale bank u will know that saraki is nothing but a dignified theif.

I am pretty sure I am older than you. I am surely old enough to know not to call a man not convicted by any law court a thief.

Saraki may have come from PDP before becoming an APC Senator but this is the closest split in the Senate since 1999 between number of ruling party and opposition Senators. And yet under Saraki's leadership the 8Th Senate has passed more bills than any other Senate in the history of Nigeria, his Senate leadership has also managed to keep the executive honest without any real threat of the Senate President being impeached. It takes a lot of political skill to navigate this situation as smoothly as Saraki has done in a Nigerian political climate always driven by money and tribal politics.

When he was Chairman of Governor's forum he commanded a lot of respect among his peers. He is still doing the same in the Senate. In Kwara he had the foresight to betray the will of his own father and support someone outside of his family to succeed him as Governor. That for me is leadership and foresight.

Ability to win Nigeria's Presidential election does not equate to political sophistication. Our politics at the moment is quite backward and primitive and as such is not the correct benchmark to rate an aspiring world class politician. It does not matter what happens in 2019, the fact remains that Saraki is a far better poltician than Buhari!

SternProphet:
It appears you are mixing up anti corruption and not spending money. They are not the same. There is just a slight increase in the budget over the last elections. The other monies are for security agencies to tackle ongoing challenges.
More importantly it is virement. They are moving money around in the same budget. The Senators have to sacrifice their fake / bloated constituency projects for security and elections. Pure and simple

Just so you know, Nigeria does not have N9.2 trillion sitting somewhere waiting to be spent on 2018 budget. The money will have to be sourced

Our ability to fund our budget is subject to the gyrations of the price of brent crude in the International Oil Market! So the Buhari presidency can not make savings from an Imaginary budget (in the words of Abaribe) to fund this 242billion naira election!

they are the same, the reason they are not the same in Nigeria is lack of focus.

the objective of an anti-corruption fight is to recover wasted resources and also reduce future waste in government. part of reducing waste include the current government not spending too much

locking up 100 big men will not put garri on anyone's table. The reason you lock people up is to deter future politicians from wasting our resources so that there will be more money to invest in the Nation.

Anti-Corruption fight is not an end in itself, it is only a means to an end. The end being reduction in waste of Nigeria's resources.

The problem is you Buhari supporters and Buhari himself don't understand this simple fact! The budget itself is bloated and this failure falls squarely on Buhari's lap. He is supposed to announce a streamlined budget and he has not done this in the last 3 years.


see Abaribe questioning Saint Buhari's budget and why he keeps budgeting billions for buying computer and cooking equipment every year and yet we are fighting corruption? Anti-Corruption should start from a streamlined budget!

SternProphet:
DO THE YOUNG IGNORAMUSES UNDERSTAND THIS BUDGET

This is a virement financed supplementary budget. They are going to take money from not important projects to finance this expenditure. The budget has not changed.

Nigeria's youth is completely gone. No more brains. Anyway when PDP has raped your country for 16 years and your heroes are Fayose, GEJ and Saraki,maybe you are entitled to ignorance. The 2014 elections cost about N120bn so whats the problem with a supplementary budget asking for mo ey transfer from other areas within existing budget for elections and security?

Mr Wisdom is the money for the original budget plucked from air? 120billion or 244 billion is still too much for a government that has made its mantra anti-corruption


This is more money to fund future corruption in government!

I am fighting corruption but I will never do anything to streamline spending!

This is the kind of nonsense that Buhari's Government has become.

ofwest47:
Illiteracy is a decease, Kwarans will continue to remain impoverish as long as they remain illiterate . Remember Saraki's father Shola, used these Ilorin ilitrates to acquire billions during his life time; all he needs to do is to appear in public like this and throw up hundreds of Naira into the poverty ridden crowd as a means of welcoming him for which most of them getting injured during the scrambling for just about N100. And that is what
Bukola is also undertaking we have heard of an occasion where he Bukola gathered women and threw numbers of 4yards of Ankara cloth to them which resulted in scrambling to which some of them dying in the process.
At the end of the day he still used these impoverished semi_ demi ilitrates to make his billions.

do you know what literacy means?

loyalty to a political leader does not qualify kwarans as illiterates

Saraki has the temperament of a Good Leader and a Great President

Very loyal to his loyalist that is why he commands a lot of wilful loyalty in Kwara State and NASS. His fellow Governors were also very loyal to him when he was Chairman of Governor's Forum

For me amongst the current front line politicians, Saraki is the best candidate to emerge President in 2019. I will happily vote him

we need a President who understands the rule of law and importance of building institutiions to take responsibility. We also need a President who can appreciate our diversity as a Nation and help build a modern economy. Buhari does not understand or represent any of the above!

Buhari does not even know how to fight corruption. A useful fight against corruption will start from streamlined budget that reduces waste, reduce the size of Government and plug all wasteful Government expenditures like the subsidy scam which Saraki helped to expose.

Most Nigerian Politicians are exposed to corruption allegation. it makes no sense trying to refight the fights of yesteryears, we need to wipe the board clean and start afresh with very stringent Government procurement policies that makes it harder to steal rather than wait for people to steal so that you can arrest your political enemies among them!

make sure you have evidence to show in court before you waste our time with arrest

how much did Ekiti election cost?

why do we spend so much money on a process that means nothing?

if the election will not reflect the will of the people then lets cancel elections in Nigeria

all election rigging by the Government happen between the polling unit and collation centres

INEC can take some simple steps to ensure our elections are no longer at risk of rigging and hence no need for 30,000

denko:
Ekiti should not sleep because they are planning to change the result.

Oshiomole is trying to bring his collation center rigging strategy from Edo to Ekiti

Ekiti people must resist Oshiomole

Oblang:
So for ur mind u don't know there are conflicting results on social media...

again in the end it is not the place of INEC to react to this conflicting results in the social media.

INEC should do their jobs with due deligence. There are trusted media houses who are following the result on ground!

Fuckingmallam45:
Mr man calm down nau, this is not d first election that INEC have been through and this will never last, so gather ur set nd wait for d right call

In elections sanctity of the process should matter more than the result.

INEC behaviour is aiding rigging. it does not matter who wins, whether PDP or APC

I blame INEC for the shambles!

naptu2:
Furthermore, Nigerians are very emotional. What usually happens is that some people release fake results, the people become worked up and then INEC releases its results and people end up rioting because of conflicting results. That's the reason that the law was originally put in place.

my dear this is nonsense

The secrecy is the reason our elections are shambles. if the results are announced at the polling units then the final result should be the sum of all the results announced at the polling units.

INEC should do more to encourage transparency. Disputing the results announced by the media is not the answer. INEC should learn to be accountable. Their attitude at the moment is giving room to changing the results at the collation centres!

This behaviour is quite primitive. The funny thing is all Nigerians know this is what politicians do and hence why INEC is disputing the results!

greggng:
Because Nigerians are so gullible that's why fake news sell easily. So don't blame Inec they don't have luxury of time to be explain from time to time ....

so why is INEC so interested is disputing the results in the media. they should do their jobs with due deligence and it should not be their jobs to deny or agree with the results in the media


the denial of the results already announced shows INEC has something to hide!

why is INEC concerned about disputing results already announced in the media if they have nothing to hide

INEC should go to hell

Serious countries announce results at the polling units and hence before electoral commission conclude their job media houses are able to sum the results and announce.

The final result by the electoral commission is not usually far off from that announce by the media

so why is our things always different? Why is INEC disputing results by social media before they even collate results

INEC is so corrupt! they are the reason for the madness we call elections!

2019 everyone should go and buy their own guns and their own armoured tank!

Buhari does not do peace, fair play or justice

if you want Buhari out of office you must shoot him out of office. it is that simple. The election will not be free and fair
