Never will pdp rule again.your an evil man.even if you want apc out,why not front another party? Your one of those suppressing the youths from taking over

Let's be sincere. Which other party has the structure to challenge a ruling party? It took more than four parties and strong propaganda to defeat pdp, the then ruling party in 2015.
APC have all state apparatus available to them, it's going to be difficult for pdp to challenge them in 2019 but they (pdp) have strong political players and many of us would better Buhari not to return.
Its like you guys don't get it yet, our issue isn't with APC or PDP, we don't want Buhari to return!!! We can't continue to suffer.

benben1000:
I'm talking about state party structure of APC. PDP can upstage them if they had built on Agbaje's structure. Agbaje almost defeated Ambode if you look at the result. So it can be done but must be from another party not APC for the people to have influence as you said.

Thats why i cant agree with this. I am not even talking about other parties. Ambode hasn't done badly, so why not give him a second chanxe. The so called mandate group are just angry for selfish reasons. Ambode is supposed to control the party structure as governor of the state but Tinubu established the mandate group because of his greed.
If he bypassed the mandate group, he has every right to do so.

It's appalling to read an article trying to make us understand or buy the group's actions.

benben1000:
Mandate Group runs Lagos state politics not Tinubu. They are like board of directors of a company with a chairman called Tinubu. You can never be elected CEO of the company without the support of the board of directors and the chairman. The office of the CEO being the office of the Lagos state Governor. Many decisions the CEO/Governor takes even while in office must be supported by the members of the Mandate Group.

This is rubbish. A state with more than 20million people, a certain group can't determine their fate. Democracy is government for the people and not for a mandate group.

It's okay to have a group of top political players in a state but it is stupid for them to decide the fate of a performing governor because they are unhappy.

To even make things worse, this useless group is loyal to "ONE MAN". If it is this group that determines the governor of Lagos state, then it means Tinubu is god over Lagos. Tueh... *spits*

Saraki is smart and intelligent but APC propagandists wont let us rest with their criminal tag even when he hasn't been found guilty of any crime yet.

Oshiomhole will fight everybody if this is true. Has he made any announcement yet?

I want to see APC crumble but why is "pdpvanguard" the source?

Hmmn

Which one is miss earth again?

Free the man

Nigeria’s former finance minister, Kemi Adeosun, has left the country, a day after her resignation, sources close to her told PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday.


Mrs Adeosun, finance minister since November 2015, stepped down from office on Friday after owning up to parading a forged youth service scheme certificate.

President Muhammadu Buhari accepted her resignation on Friday night, 69 days after PREMIUM TIMES first published a detailed investigation of how she obtained the fake document and went on to secure plush employments with it, including as head of Nigeria’s finance ministry.

Mrs Adeosun explained in her resignation letter that the PREMIUM TIMES investigation was true, but said she did not know the certificate was forged as she relied on associates who helped obtain it after she returned from the UK.

The former minister expressed her gratitude for the honour to serve her country.

Although Nigerians welcomed her resignation, which many even complained was long overdue, they also demanded her immediate prosecution. Some civic groups have already instituted legal action to compel federal authorities to file charges against her.

But a day after she stepped down, Mrs Adeosun, who was born and raised in England, departed the country, according to her associates who notified PREMIUM TIMES of the development Saturday evening.
“She has left Nigeria,” a source said. “She most likely is in the UK by now.”

When PREMIUM TIMES called her Nigerian line several times Saturday night, it rang through each time in the Europe internal phone ringing effect.

Telecoms experts who also dialled her number at PREMIUM TIMES’ instance Saturday evening also said the telephone certainly did not ring in Nigeria.

The government investigation into the scandal was coordinated by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, PREMIUM TIMES found

Nice. But why this people too like beads

Royalty!!

Then they should scrap the NYSC. They shouldn't make it mandatory when we are trying to enroll into the military or trying to get a government job. Everyone should be treated fairly. Joe Ibokwe is just being foolish.

iammo:
I can bet my last cent, premium times is owned by a southerner. while northerners cooperate in protecting their own and their members, southerner keeps attacking each other. you would think north only have huasa/Fulani as its only inhabitants, but it is a diverse ethnic groups, protecting common interest of enjoying southern resources, using southern sea port, and most especially sell agricultural produce to southern market at any price they deem fit(e.g local rice been expensive than foreign rice). ironically southern lawyers backed by tinubu, went ahead to procure a judgement which prevent any action been taking for buhari's lack of producing the basic educational certiface required for a fair contest from a southern judge. my simple question is what if North decides not to zone presidency to south come 2023, are we southerners going to still play the game fairly?

Don't play this game. I don't think there can be unity in the south. The south west have sold us countless number of times. The average yoruba man don't even see us as one. I can't remember how many times I have tried to correct yoruba folks that I am not Igbo or how many times they try to sideline people that aren't yoruba in my office. To them, you are either Igbo or yoruba. Truth is in every sphere of life, Northerners see themselves as one but southerners don't. You then don't expect us to unite politically. Everyone should continue to fight for his or her interest until we learn to appreciate each and every ethnic group

But President Buhari, who assured government officials who spoke to him that he would take action on the matter, took many weeks trying to understand the issues.

Lol

Realhommie:
Agreed her profile ain't that impressive for a position as tasking and very sensitive as the FM. But note she's only there for the time being on acting capacity pending when Buhari appoints a new finance minister.. I'm sure they're shopping already for Mrs Adeosun's replacement.

This lady is not a new appointee as she's already minister for state, budget and national planning. Some criticisms against the president with respect to lopsided appointments are justified but most definitely not this one.

I didn't see anywhere it was stated she's a temporary replacement oo. And then I said i'll be able to judge better when I read more about her. FM is so sensitive that not all qualified people are able to do the job, so why give someone the job because she read accounting? From what OP posted here there's nothing impressive relating to the post of Finance minister.
Taking nothing away, she's had a good career but Buhari, i think, appointed her because she was in his cabinet already and maybe the closest qualified of all his cabinet members.

madridguy:
Good profile.

Abeg how is this profile good for the position?
A BSC in accounting doesn't qualify you to be finance minister. I'll just read about her before I comment but from this, it isn't good enough.

zinnydan:
She doesn't love you,unless she attends jw

Why only jw?

Lool

Nice

If Nigerians can look beyond senatorial zone, i think Saraki is one of pdp's top three candidates. Kwankwaso and Atiku might have more followership, Saraki is a different kind of politician.

Lol

Does he want pdp support or what? I don't understand the letter mbok

Oboy

Thank you OP, nice history but why human names, i am not sure typhoons are named too

This is bad really. This is terrible. You see the disadvantage of a poor database?
What percentage of Nigeria population are over 18? How many of those are into active politics? How many are APC members? After seeing what Oshiomhole did in Edo state gubernatorial election in 2016, i am not surprised that he is perfecting plans to rig the 2019 election.

My problem is with whoever will come to this thread to support this rubbish or shout Sai baba, i respect your opinion but you'll never go unpunished.

Jeez! See lies

Hmmn
