LouisVanGaal:
Oga! The perpetuators of d violence are dey below '18' years of age? Were de teenagers? Are they not responsible for their actions? Why should the party be liable to bad conduct of dia supporters? If they had signed an undertaken to reach out to every of dia supporters nationwide it would hav been a different scenario..

Imagine that I am a family man with grown ups as offspring; shud de go outside and commit a crime, WILL IT BE FAIR IF I AM ACCUSED FOR THEIR CRIME? Considering that they have already reached d age of making sound judgement..there are good supporters and bad supporters of both pdp and APC in terms of Attitude.

When I was in my final year @ sku, our dean of students came to mobilise us to assist INEC under d capacity of Assistant polling officers, while Corps members as PO for d 2012 edo state guber elections, which oshiomhole won...On getting to my polling unit and after all accreditation..voting commenced, with d security operatives abandoning us (me + the PO) to ourselves and were led to a corner by some party chieftains for settlement. Imagine how the voters would tak it wen de feel marginalised cos de dnt possess d leverage to rig?...they would take laws into dia hands with d so-called operatives incapacitated cos dia integrity has bin compromised!

Had buhari the 'pocket' of an IBB, we would then say dat de wea paid to cos violence whc is logical..

So, its ONLY fair to put the blame on the rioters and the security operatives and NOT any party.

BossAyuk:
That makes no sense Oga

barcanista:
Kenyatta made lots of inciteful statements and there were lots of evidence and indictment against him. Please do a proper research on Kenya's post 2008 Presidential election violence

BossAyuk:
If I kill Buharis supporters and carry Jonathan's posters claiming he was cheated without receiving any instruction whatsoever from Jonathan, is it fair or sensible to call Jonathan a man of violence? Go.straight to.the point.

barcanista:
What is your proof against cpc? The Presidential committee neither indict cpc nor any of her chieftain. I insist that what happened in 2011 was perpetrated by fanatics and not cpc or her supporters. PDP led by Fayose in broad daylight went to court to beat judges, that counts. PDP BoT Chief alhaji Lawal Kaita promised to make Nigeria ungorvernable for Jonathan should he win 2011. I expect the President and DSS to arrest him and begins investigation from there if they were serious.

barcanista:
Your sentiment cannot replace facts. You have nothing against the cpc. Attributing offence perpetrated by fanatics to a legal entity without proof shows your degree of subjectiveness. I can shout Jesus is Lord to kill people, I can start burning houses with Jonathan's poster in my hand, I can start shooting any anti-jonathan supporters, but it doesn't translate to Jonathan supports violence. Be guided!

barcanista:
CPC have no history of violence, but PdP does! Whether the poster you quoted agree with you or not is immaterial until you substantiate with fact. I can commit crime and shout GEJ 2015, it doesn't mean that I'm backed by GEJ. Terrorists kill and shout Alahu Akbar, it doesn't mean islam endorse terrorism. Sometimes, we shouldn't be allowed to be blinded by hate and emotions

barcanista:
Did APC commit violence in 2011? Was any ACN/CPC/ANPP chieftain indicted for post 2011 violence? How can you assume the actions of some fanatical supporters to be that of the party? Did the party encourage or aske anyone to attack any? The man that promised to make Nigeria ungorvernable is a PDP man named Lawal Kaita. What is your point sef Mr Obinoscopy?

LouisVanGaal:
and what's d work of law enforcement agencies during elections? Had dey not taken bribes, they would have calmed dwn d uproar...rather de decided to stand on d side of cheats! Hope u ve heard recently how some of pdp chieftains hav celebrated d past elections de ve rigged

politricks:
Was this the question they asked you?.

JackBaueress1:
You're not making sense! Was there APC in 2011? Why do you agree APC is associated with violence during elections because CPC supporters killed some corpes in Bauchi? If you agree APC is a violent party, Do you agree other parties that merged to become APC are violent too?

politricks:
Dont mind the guy, i guess he schooled in france hence his statement.

JackBaueress1:
there was no APC political party in 2011. was there any?

JackBaueress1:
. And what's the truth?

“Though our party has no history of violence"

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured Nigerians and the international community that it will do all in its power to ensure that the 2015 general election is violence-free, saying the rising apprehension about the polls among the populace is inimical to the conduct of a successful election.

In a statement issued in Lagos yesterday by its national publicity secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party, however, said its efforts should be complemented by the PDP-led federal government, which has a propensity for using the security agencies to harass and intimidate the opposition and ordinary citizens.

It also said the federal government should take all measures necessary to ensure that the elections are free, fair and credible, since rigging and other acts of electoral malfeasance constitute the immediate trigger for anger and violence during and after elections.

“We have heard from Nigerians who are so afraid about possible violence during the forthcoming election that they are even willing to relocate to other countries until after the elections. But, as the biggest opposition party in Nigeria and a major stakeholder in our nation’s democracy, we are assuring, on our part, that there will be no violence.

“Though our party has no history of violence, we have commenced a nationwide effort to sensitise our members and supporters to the need to eschew rancour and embrace non-violent methods, even in the face of the kind of provocations to which we were subjected during the Ekiti and Osun governorship elections, when our members were needlessly harassed, arrested and detained by partisan security agencies acting under orders from the federal government.

“If the federal government allows a level playing field for all contestants, if the security agencies stop acting as the armed wing of the ruling PDP, if the electoral umpire will carry out its duties without fear, favour or bias and if citizens are allowed to exercise their franchise unmolested, the stage will be set for a non-violent, free, fair and credible polls. In other words, the government has a major role to play in making the forthcoming polls peaceful.

“On our part, in addition to other efforts aimed at ensuring a peaceful election, we pledge to accept the result of an election that is not only free, fair, credible and transparent, but one that is also seen to be so. We hope other parties will make a similar pledge,’’ APC said.

This story has been debunked on the same twitter yet this stoopid OP is still carrying it.

D9ty7:
The mod on night shift is asleep when this topic was posted. Seun and his goons who only respond to the title moderators but are not moderating anything.

Vibra:
I wonder where the mods are when it's clearly stated
Rule 8:
8. Don't post false information on Nairaland

nduchucks:
Absolutely not!!

You may have missed my initial post on this issue where I stated that even in the most "advanced" countries, the representatives are not supposed to be experts in every area. They routinely hire experts/consultants to draft legislation and their staff is made up up additional experts for support.

Having said that, no sane human being can justify a N100million fee for such a service. The fee is another evidence of how wasteful and corrupt the system is. The unfortunate truth is that, if the man has a valid contract, he will be paid the N100million.

nduchucks:
If you think the members of the house committee on Finance cannot use the expertise of experts in the field, then you are dellusional. Do you know how many areas of finance they have to deal with on a daily basis? They most definitely need experts to support their decision making processes.

Buhari said Abacha is not corrupt until a competent court said so, and president jonathan confirm it, that Abacha is not corrupt to the extend he return some founds recovered from the family account abroad back to the family.

So let Buhari be

The trial judge handed down the order after the Federal Government yesterday dropped criminal charges filed against him over monies allegedly looted from the federal treasury during the Abacha regime.
At the resumed hearing yesterday, Abacha was represented by Abdulahi Haruna and Rueben Atabo while Daniel Enwelum appeared for the prosecution.
The prosecutor informed the court that the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Bello Adoke (SAN) had on June 17 filed a notice to discontinue all charges against Abacha which Abaca’s lawyers said they were not opposing.
In the notice, the AGF who is the chief law officer of the federation asked the FCT High Court to strike out all the charges “because there are fresh facts and documents available to the Federal Goverment”.

fkaz:
My brother we are still on same page, here is Buhari comment

Buhari, in his own comments yesterday, described the allegations of looting against Abacha as "baseless", because according to him, "ten years after Abacha, those allegations remain unproven because of lack of facts".

Do you have anything against it?
