Okutanla1:I bet you did not read the whole article. You do not have an open-mind to issues. Of course, it was Tinubu who nominated Osinbajo but because he had no other option. You can go ahead and ask those mentioned in the story for fact-finding but I guess you're in so much love with your role model Tinubu |
DON'T CLAIM THE GLORY BECAUSE WE KNOW THE STORY It will be my joy if you patienctly read through this great revelation..... Osinbajo’s Road to Abuja: The Untold Story Olawale Olaleye Since his emergence as Nigeria’s number-two citizen, different accounts had been flying around on how Professor Yemi Osinbajo, actually secured the coveted vice-presidential slot, a majority of which revolved around the person of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, his former boss. Indeed, the recent revelation by Chief Bisi Akande in his book, “My Participations” was equally slanted to further pin down the narrative. You may recall that in 2016, Professor John Paden, authored a biography, ‘Muhammadu Buhari: The Challenges of leadership in Nigeria’, where he dismissed speculations that Tinubu, influenced the emergence of Osinbajo as Buhari’s running mate, but contended that Buhari, instead, chose Osinbajo despite a lot of pressure from Tinubu, who was interested in the position. That book raised a lot of dust and as expected, Tinubu’s soldiers went for the professor. But, regardless of whichever version you must have read or heard, what you are about to read now is the untold story of how Professor Osinbajo, became Buhari’s running mate and eventually, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It happened that the All Progressives Congress (APC) was almost running against the deadline for the submission of names of its candidates ahead of the 2015 presidential election. There was no debate about its presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, who had emerged at a convention held in Lagos in December of 2014. But the party had been held hostage on its choice for the running mate. In the forefront of the confusion that had ensued as a result was Tinubu, who didn’t hide his desire to fill the slot. He hinged this on the understanding he allegedly had with Buhari in the early days of their proposed alliance, before the merger that eventually culminated in the formation of the APC, now boasting several other tendencies. With a bigger house made possible by what was known as the ‘legacy parties’ and other individuals, who championed the change movement, a Muslim/Muslim ticket had become arguably impracticable. This much was canvassed by a majority of the actors with stakes in the party, especially, with the increasing attacks from the Boko Haram terrorist group. They had considered a Muslim/Muslim ticket a very hard sell. However, with 24 hours to deadline for submission of names, coupled with the fact that Tinubu had made a smooth choice of a running mate nearly impossible, including the fact that he was made to chair a selection committee, which failed to fly, because of his vested interest, Buhari then decided to take the bull by the horn, being the candidate. While the underhand intrigues subsisted, Buhari had set up a team of some persons, including a former governor of Zamfara State, Abdul-Aziz Yari; former President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki; incumbent Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal and his predecessor, Magatakarda Wamakko, amongst others to shortlist names of likely candidates for him, from the South. Interestingly, it seemed there was a consensus that with the role of the Southwest, the running mate must come from the zone, reason other interested folks from other parts of the country could not fly. The committee had completed its work and submitted a list of three names to Buhari. First on the list is a former Osun State governor, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, followed by Senator Olorunimbe Mamora and third, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. Please, follow the trend and how Osinbajo’s name first featured in the 2015 theatrics. Armed with the list and wary of the deadline staring him in the face, Buhari left for Tinubu’s house in Abuja, first to explain that a Muslim/Muslim ticket was not going to fly, meaning he would be unable to run with him and that in the alternative, he (Tinubu) could recommend anyone from the list to him as his preferred choice for the slot. At least, he thought it was okay to do him that honour. Unfortunately, Tinubu didn’t receive the news well and flared up so bad that he was alleged to have engaged in war of words with Buhari, who stormed out of his house, after Tinubu had insinuated betrayal. Amongst those in Tinubu’s house at the time were Chief Bisi Akande, Rauf Aregbesola and Adams Oshiomhole. But only Oshiomhole walked Buhari to his car as he made to leave the house. From Tinubu’s house, Buhari stopped over at the home of a former governor from the Southern part of the country and told him all that transpired, and went back home – angry and disappointed. Getting home, he sent for Saraki and when the former Senate President got to his place, he narrated what happened and the embarrassment meted out to him, saying if Tinubu wanted a fight, he was ready and he would give it back in full dose. But Saraki pleaded with him that it was too early and that the situation was not what they couldn’t manage well before the elections. Saraki immediately contacted a former Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, and hinted him that there was fire on the mountain and that he needed to come around to join forces with him to manage the situation. Amosun left his home in Abeokuta, first for Lagos and then Abuja, and straight to Buhari’s home. Thus, when he got there, he was intimated with all that had happened, but he was particularly worried about deadline and pleaded with Buhari to let him take it over from there. So, he left for Tinubu’s place to close the deal. By the time he got to Tinubu’s residence, Oshiomhole had left but still with him were Baba Akande and Ogbeni Aregbesola. Typical of Amosun, who would not waste time on anything, he told Tinubu that Buhari’s mind was already made up, but that he should decide now, who he wanted as the running mate, at least, that only the individual he chose would be presented to Buhari and not give him the pleasure of choosing from a list. Still angry and disappointed, the first person Tinubu suggested in that rage was Oshiomhole. But as if planned, there was almost a unanimous opposition from everyone in the room. Then, Aregbesola suggested Osinbajo and he (Tinubu) opposed it, saying Osinbajo was one of those, who campaigned against a Muslim/Muslim ticket and must therefore not benefit from it. Now, let’s digress a bit. Tinubu’s anger against Osinbanjo was this. The former Lagos governor had set up a team of persons close to him to ponder the Muslim/Muslim idea and the best way to push it forward. Those on the team included Professor Yemi Osinbajo, Senator Tokunbo Afikuyom, Mr. Wale Edun, Mr. Dele Alake and Mr. Dapo Thomas. The team met regularly at a private Guest House on the Island, Ikoyi to be precise. But Osinbajo had during one of their meetings said pointedly that there was no way he would defend a Muslim/Muslim ticket in good conscience especially, with the state of security in the country. He asked on what account would he go back to his family and say he was part of such a decision? Of course, Tinubu got a feedback from the team and held it against him, even though Osinbajo didn’t mean any harm. Therefore, at the mention of Osinbajo, he revolted almost instantly. But he needed to give a name and time was fast going before deadline. So, he asked to see the list brought by Buhari and on sighting it, he said, “Okay, let’s run with Oyinlola.” To that too, Baba Akande protested and it was back to square one. Again, Aregbesola prevailed and contended that, like it or not, Osinbajo remained a member of Tinubu’s political family and therefore, still his best bet. After a few minutes of grumbling, he reluctantly agreed to Osinbajo. And Amosun asked him repeatedly if it was a deal and he responded in the affirmative. Final answer kind of thing! Mamora was not even to be considered as far as Tinubu was concerned. Those who know Lagos politics would understand why. When he finally agreed to Osinbajo, Aregbesola even pleaded to be given the honour of being the person to break the news to Osinbajo. But Amosun didn’t have the patience to acquiesce to that request. For him, time was of the essence and that assignment was handled business-like. Therefore, how Baba Akande handed them a note with Osinbajo’s name and ordered them to Buhari is still a mirage. Besides, Aregbesola did not go with him. Anyway, in the presence of all, Amosun made a call to Osinbajo to ask, where he was and that a plane would be sent to convey him now to Abuja. But, incidentally, Osinbajo replied that he was in Abuja already, because he had a case at the Supreme Court. Great, everything seemed to be working together for good, he reckoned. Then asked him to come immediately to Ogun House in Abuja, and when he arrived, he first congratulated him saying, “You’re the next vice-president of Nigeria.” With a confounding gaze, he conveyed him in his (Amosun’s) car and drove straight to Buhari’s house, with Kemi Adeosun, former Minister of Finance, sitting in front of the car. Getting to the candidate’s residence, Amosun asked Osinbajo to wait downstairs, while he went upstairs to see the president and told Buhari: “I have him sir,” and Buhari asked: “Who?” and he replied: “Your running mate”. The APC candidate then came downstairs, where he first met with Osinbajo for the first time as introduced to him by Amosun and immediately, ushered them to a sitting area in the kitchen, where his nomination form was filled in a hurry. Osinbajo, filling his form in Buhari’s dinning area, was guided by Mrs. Adeosun, Amosun and Sarki Abba, one of Buhari’s domestic staff, to hasten up the process. Buhari, too, was there watching them complete the process. This is why for those, who know the story, how Osinbajo later turned out to be Amosun’s enemy remains a mystery to them. But with this insider picture of how Osinbajo ‘walked from Lagos to Abuja’, readers can now decide by themselves, the person, who actually made Osinbajo the vice president. To do this, however, five centres must be factored into account. The first is the team set up by Buhari, which included him amongst the three potential candidates. The second is Aregbesola, who consistently mentioned him until it was approved. The third is Tinubu, who reluctantly agreed to his choice, without which they probably would have been unable o move on. The fourth was Amosun, who had to run a major and serious race from Abeokuta to Lagos and Abuja to make sure that phase in the life of APC was closed. The fifth and most important is Buhari himself. He could have rejected him if he wanted to. After all, he was going to be working with him and definitely should have a say in the choice of his partner. But if you asked this writer, no one person made Osinbajo vice president. The coming together of everyone as designed by God did the job. Therefore, no one person can claim the glory. This, in a nutshell, is the story of Osinbajo’s journey to the seat of power, Abuja. All the additions and facts deliberately mutilated by Baba Akande are curious. But, it is understandable. Above all, if you are in doubt, many names are mentioned here as witnesses to the journey, you can check with them all.

I hate paying LAGOS TAX, Because my money dey go one corrupt politician pocket |
Bolaji26:Something in me don't want to believe this. There is a limit to how much you can place a bet on most sportbet sites. |
Don't go into sportbet unless you understand the system. It is so unfortunate that many people place bet base on emotion and the little information they know thinking they will win. It does not work. If you know the secret I know about sportbet and you have my kind of discipline to only place a bet when all the factors are green, then you won't be in this condition. Bros...you're suffering from greed, not sportbet. How can you use money that is not your own to place a bet. That's foolishness. For a while now, I have been helping some Nairalanders to cash out on Nairabet because I know a secret loopholes in the system. People pay me to tell them this secret. Anyway, if you cannot pay me....just jump and pass before someone starts to say that if I know it, why didn't I tell my family, friends and neighbours? He get reason. Even though, I don't place bet everyday, anytime I need fast money, I just look at the secret and make cool cash on Nairabet. Eh, I'm not enticing you. I'm only letting you to know that even if a odd is 1.14, it does not mean you will win. The sportbet company use psychology to deceive many people, I have been able to decode their secret. Without knowing anything about a match, I can correctly predict the outcome based on the odds given to the games. I specialise on over and under 2.5 Remember, I don't do this everyday, only when all factors are green and when I need quick money. I have made crazy with this system during champions league matches and international country matches....it works like kilode. See the last bet I placed below.

softwareman:Ask yourself, if you find yourself in the place of power tomorrow, will you recommend people that you don't know? RCCG as a church has the highest number of intellectuals among institutions and associations in Nigeria. In case you don't know, one in every 10 christians you see today belong to RCCG or has attended RCCG parish before. Do you know that a lot of MDs and CE0s are members of RCCG? Are you saying that because they are RCCG members then they should not be given opportunity to serve? RCCG has over 23,000 parishes in Nigeria alone. Let Farooq come up with substance, are you saying if I got an appointment tomorrow, you will link me to the VP because we both are members of RCCG? Bros... you can only recommend people you know and trust and that you have worked with over the years. The people he appointed, were they qualified? |
fadsam:No need for insult or argument. Give me your email and I will send you video NOT picture of my latest win. When you have a strategy that works. Is it a bad thing to teach others too? Or you think everything must revolve around you alone. Chop alone kind of person. Money answers to value. The more value you give, the more money you get. Or do you think because I am making money with my Strategy, I should give it to the world for free? May be you have been scammed in the past and this made you close your eyes to every other opportunities...it will not help you. I am a digital marketer, and I only sell what works and will solve people's problem. You gerrit ? Cheers |
Tonight is for Action. So many of my students are making money for every match in this champion league and Europa with the secret I shared with them. I always look forward to international matches because I must surely collect some cash from Nairabet.

On Friday 29th of October, 2021, I received shocking news of my life. I got to my office at 7:55am, only to be told that the company I worked for had been sold off and the new management would take 3 months before they continue to operate as they needed time to reshuffle many things. Before that time, the company had been struggling to pay salary. The Chairman had said the cost of doing business in Lagos is no longer profitable. Hence the need to sell off and relocated back to Canada. We were all greeted with surprises. At least salary used to come late, but now...no hope of salary again! We had just collected our salaries, two days before. That was 27th of October. It was the earliest in recent times. If I had know the company would be sold, I would have managed my salary very well. But I thought I would always have another salary like most people think. I had only 55K left with me home and abroad. Chai... that was when my brain started to look for network of what I can do to sustain myself before I would get another job. Design new CV Notify a number of friends that I was looking for job Then, I also had the thought of starting an online business. Since after the crash of MMM, I had desist from anything online business But I am, looking for cash to sustain myself as I don't know where I would get my next salary from. So, all option looked credible and legitimate. That was when I started looking for a way to earn money online. So, I started searching for ways to earn but couldn’t get anything. LOL... (It was not funny then sha) I had to diligently go deep into research, experimenting with different side hustles. After much research, I discovered something. There are many clean ways to earn my salary online or more every month using just my android phone with internet. But there's a particular side hustle that never gets old. It can be done from anywhere so you don’t need to be wearing a suit and going to an office. …and you will still earn enough to live the good life. I’m sure you want to know what it is. Relax, let me tell you about it. It is earning commission for RECOMMENDING high-value digital products from Top Experts. Now guess what? There is: No product creation No product importation No product warehousing No shipping & delivery No customer service No recruiting Simply select and RECOMMEND a high-value digital product from a Top Expert and earn a commission for doing so. You can recommend these digital products in various niches, they include: Finance Health Information Publishing Travel Ecommerce Social Media Advertising Etc... This is by far the simplest side hustle anyone can start WITHOUT technical skills or experience I have several secondary school mates doing over half a million naira a month from just this side hustle alone (And they are complete newbies with zero experience) I mean how does one explain a 400L student legally earning N500k a month in this current economy? I don't even know how many Doctors or Professors make that much in one month. Anyways, how do you start this simple side hustle and start earning as soon as possible? STEP 1: Locate and join a platform where these top experts have listed their high-value digital products. STEP 2: Choose a HOT Product to RECOMMEND to people who need it. STEP 3: Get access to an Effective Online Selling System that SELLS the HOT product 24/7. It is important to have access to an effective online selling system...a system that doesn't require guesswork. This makes the selling possible even for newbies who have never sold anything online. But you might be asking yourself where you can locate these products and how exactly do you create an effective online system that will sell the HOT products especially when you've probably never recommended any digital product before? That's where I can help. But I can't just help anybody, you have to be ready to put in the work. So, if you are ready to kick-start, I have a NEW detailed video training put together by my mentor that explains the 3 steps I described earlier.

It is quite simple. You may be experiencing the excruciating pains of poverty or the pleasures of life at the moment. This one thing can keep you going or change the course of your living. The most profitable business you can invest in before the year ends is to INVEST IN YOURSELF! Start by reflecting on the current year so far, Jot down your successes and failures Note the causes and links to those successes and failures. Plan not to repeat the causes of failure and disappoints while you plan to consolidate on your strengths in the new year. Write down how much you want to make in year 2022. Assuming you plan making a gross total of N36 Million Naira next year. This means you should be targeting 3 million Naira per month And about 100,000 Naira per Day. Now ask yourself, what business can I do to earn 100K PER DAY? This certainly cannot be a 9-5 job You can do Freelancing, Graphics Design or internet business or real estate. Next, you need to get a HIGH income skill. The truth is that not that people don't have one skill or the other, but many people lack high income skill that can make people pay huge for their service. Imagine going to a location in VGC to cut your hair at a price of N4000 and the same hair is cut at N400 in many locations. What do you think will make the difference....location, quality of customers, value delivery and ambience. same way with high income skill. While some people earn N50K on a monthly basis, some are earning 50K on a daily basis. You can get a high income skill through personal reading/study or through online video course. But the best way is through mentorship especially with someone already making waves in that area. Please note, no high income skill come that cheap, as part of investing in yourself you must be willing and ready to spend some money in exchange for the skill you want to acquire. If you are looking for a high income skill to learn before year 2021 ends, I will recommend https://7starplans.com While we enjoy the season, we must invest in our personal growth too. Peace unto All |

ekineme:Bro, this is Nigeria. I won't be surprised if someone has been paid to give provide false information to the panel so they may use the same false information to discredit the report. Panel only acted based on what they were told. We should be asking Mr Solomon whether he was at the panel and gave the true report...only then can we know what to say. Also LEKKI TOLL might be written being the incident that excited the killings in the said location |
