Wole olanipekun, defending Onnoghen and defending Buhari at the same time. Chopping from here and chopping from there. No single principle, no single integrity. Typical double-faced Yoruba man.

This is why my millionaire friends in Lagos a d Abuja always swear that they can never use a Yoruba man as their lawyers.

he is doing his job oga...it shows he is not partisan..

Quality20:
Seems ds guy is actually a full member of pdp in spirit and was only in APC to win d Senate seat

he is reasonable individual...the president shd quit this useless blame game..get to work,initiate process to prosecute those he claimed stole..he is sounding like a broken record...

memgbe:
oga AA has the best structure at the moment, loyal followers, and then people are beginning to see nwosu as a Lasser evil

its means na zombies full imo...Wat make him a lesser evil..? wat structure do AA have over pdp

frowland:
You were born yesterday?? You can rig and lose or is it unusual for losers to rig?
Rivers 1m,
Akwa Ibom 1m,
Delta 1m,
Enugu 800k,
Anambra 700k.
No be rigging be that? Just that in the north, they didn't allow him to write those ridiculous numbers in his favor.

oga quiet ok

memgbe:
thank you my brother, you must rooted in the state to have observed this

except imolites are senseless..if nwosu wins no one shd say igbos no get king again or no one can tell igbos who to vote... between AA and pdp or apc who get structures

frowland:
Secondly, GEJ rigged almost all SE and SS states 2015. Infact, same template for presidential was used in almost all SS/SE states that threw up Hope as senator under PDP which ultimately denied Imo state Senate presidency. Don't let me start now.

in ur mind u think Rochas ll be senate president

When will you shout OTO GE in Abia state the poverty capital of the east

ayoncox:
A colleague of mine at work who served at Awka during his nysc said the average Igbo man seems not to be grateful. He mentioned all the good and great things Obiano is doing in Anambra most especially in the schools. The internet facilities, solar power, heavy duty generators tracking of performance of teachers. He later on said, if he were to be a governor in the North Central or west they will just tell him to continue. It was then I got to realize that most at times, the problem of the average Igbo is that they feel they are better off than others so they even take their governors likely and the poor performing ones they will not push out only to go other people land and say we have our right, whereas charity begins at home, go home and support your governors and develop the east stop shouting we developed Yoruba land, it is foolishness

u are an idiot...so pple shd live wer de resides and go wer do you have sense at all....mad man tribalism kill u dee

OmoManU:
Blame it on Ambode

That's why Fashola would always remain a better administrator, during Fashola's time, as the rain is coming like this, Fashola would have started clearing drainages and canals but this big head prefers window dressing projects to impactful projects. Tho by Nigerian standard, he still does much than most Governors o but Lagos always need something far better

if I slap u there...like say during fashiola time no flooding...

is justice eyo ita related to professor eyo ita

this is one of the reasons we can't see true reforms in Nigeria a senator saying the president ll determine who heads a legislature elected by pple...nawa are the legislatures toddlers who don't know wat is good for them...it's a pity thank God Buhari ll go 2023...this is becoming a disguised monarchy...anyway agege just showed if anybody contest against him let's assume any position is zone to ss he ll loose

omoteacher:



He is very bold to have confessed in this religious society we are. It makes me remember' blood on the alter' by mount Zion films.

your head de dee blood on d altar...nna these men are human after all...i read wee yonggi Cho can't visit a woman house alone to avoid temptation and stories that touch...it's not easy to be a man of God

Hedonisst:
Na so. All these Jankara "credentials" that are merely used to decorate profiles. How many of the Master's theses did he write by himself? Oshisco.

go and get it na since its sold in the market

this is impressive if a large of number of northerners can be so educated like this guy it ll be a plus....

remember that movie the senator... great actor Wer im de dis days self...

fasbat:
. The gap between APC and PDP was small last term but it widen this session

that's wat de told u abi...by hw many margin is d gap...apc no get two third majority that's means pdp can always play a key role in everything esp if apc is divided

OKorowanta:
Forget PDP APC arguments, Akpabio was clearly robbed.
Somebody said they weren't up to 150 in his polling unit but INEC announced over a thousand votes for PDP.
Only a few people knew Ekpenyong was contesting.
He didn't even campaign and was only drafted to fill the void.
Akpabio get him own for body but dat guy still cannot win him if not for INEC...
Its better to conclude PDP outsmarted the opposition.

meaning saraki was Robb too then....

SimplePlan34:
APC wants all the oil producing states from rivers to akwa ibom to delta by stolen mandate. Nigeria is finished. But I tell u Akpabio will win d senate seat just watch. We are now in full dictatorship. D rule of law has been set aside.

oga go and sleep akpabio case has been settled...

Okon Bassey in Uyo


President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday alleged that the votes of the people of Akwa Ibom State were stolen during the recent presidential and National Assembly elections, vowing that they would be reclaimed through proper channebookSpeaking yesterday through the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, at a town hall meeting held by the elders and stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Uyo, the state capital, the president called on the electorate in the state to defend their votes during Saturday’s governorship and State Assembly elections in the state.


Buhari said it was doubtful that the former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio lost the election, alleging that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) robbed Akpabio and the APC of victory at the polls.


He maintained that all the wrongs done during the presidential and National Assembly elections would be addressed through proper channel.
“What happened on February 23 was robbery. The votes of the people were stolen but we are not deterred. The president sent me to thank you today. We are going to make sure that everything that was stolen on the February 23 would be restored.


“It is not possible that Senator Godswill Akpabio lost. We are in no doubt that Senator Akpabio is the elected senator of Akwa Ibom North West senatorial district. I and Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the party have been in the opposition for long and we cannot be defeated anymore. “Everyone of you should go out to vote on Saturday and defend your votes; we cannot be cheated; not only you but tell your neighbours to vote for Obong Nsima Ekere and all APC candidates. Wait for your votes to be counted. It is the duty of the federal government to provide security and we will do that. We will recover every one of our votes.


Also speaking, Oshiomhole said the party was not in the state to lament but to thank the people of the state for doing their jobs and voting President Buhari.


He alleged that INEC colluded with some of the electoral officers to deny the state of its electoral victory on February 23, even though he claimed that the people voted for the party.

“We have not come here to brag that our mandate was stolen last week. We have come to thank you that you voted for President Buhari, and all members of the party. You did your job but some armed robbers in INEC stole your votes. “You think that those who stole your votes will have peace? We have come to reaffirm our commitment with democracy. We have come to affirm that no robber will go unpunished but when an electoral umpire is corrupt and collude with the opposition, we have the witnesses and we have lawyers to deal with that.
“On Saturday we are not going to wait for them to steal out votes. We call on Akwa Ibom people to protect their votes. We must maintain our sanity even in this hour of provocation. Those who committed democratic abortion would be brought to book,” he said. In his speech, the APC governorship candidate in the state, Nsima Ekere encouraged the people not to be deterred by the February 23 elections but to go out and vote during the March 9 elections, saying the party is sure of victory.
He said the people of the state were in need of change and proved it during his campaigns across the 31 Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the state.
Ekere assured the president that after March 9 elections, the state would not be in the opposition but would be reunited with the centre
“Thank you for what you are doing for APC. The people voted for you; that vote is a revalidation of what the people want. You put Nigeria’s economy back on track.


“We are here because we have faith in you and Mr. President. The opposition and INEC have no choice than to give us back our mandate. Whosoever shall attempt to work against the collective will of Akwa Ibom people, we shall collectively resist.
“We send a message to the electoral umpire and the other party that they must respect the votes of the people, every vote must count. Akwa Ibom people love APC”.

Desmond is both Afonja and IPOB by blood. Father is a Lagosian while mother is Deltan.

who ask u?

FedericGodwin:
Igbo people remain in the most tribalistic, greedy, integrates, and very unfortunate tribe on earth. When ALL was sacked and replaced with their son, nobody asked gej to put a northerner in replacement. Now, they want another igbo to replace him.
What's your population and landmass of your states?
Shame on you guys. The hatred your parents inculcate in you will ruin you all.

emefiele is not igbo he is from delta state

rusher14:
You were in all 3 states on election day?

the matter tire me...one person no fit cover one local govt talk of three big northern states let d guys Jones his fellow fools...not us

obailala:
The NASS may be a separate independent arm of government, but it is always in the best interest of the executive to ensure (via lobbying etc) that the elected heads of the legislators are in sync with the ideals of the president if the president must have a good ride. This is the standard case all over the world, including the best democracies. There is nothing wrong/ illegal/ undemocratic about the executive being concerned and being involved in the selection process of the heads of the NASS.

then do it with wisdom carry everyone along OK in us d republican don't control house of reps de still exist...remember on d day of inauguration of 9th nass the nass members ll elect their leader's dat day on d floor of d house

Gandollar:
I should be the one telling you to Google facts before reacting here. The delay in budget passing was because the parastatals refused to send in their budgets as and when due while some refused to come forward to defend their budgets. These hampard the work at the committee levels and delayed the process.

Refusing appointees on what grounds? Which particular appointees are those you talk about?

Always at loggerheads with the executive because for once in history, the assembly became truly independent. Is it because they didn't allow the paddings to continue or is it because where they spot paddings from the executive, they too will insist on their own paddings? You want to chop but you don't want others to chop? Is that it?

Buhari said he came to fight corruption and the Nass helped him expose some corruption cases he could have missed and Nigerians were happy. But you seem to suggest that they should have covered these frauds up kwoo?

leave those guys their brains don't function well...they think we are running a monarchy..to pass sm bills u need two third majority of d house that means smtimes u need to lobby members to have ur way...if apc make the mistake of imposing nass leaders then pdp ll help dem reset it...its called check mate in chess...this is presidential system so stop shouting party supremacy..it wrk in parliamentary system... leaders of nass ll be elected in nass nt out side

eLcastro:
lol....you want another saraki to destroy apc.,I like your idea tho..but that way know a pdp annioted candidate will win....all you need is a pdp block vote to be the SP...the pdp will always have the block vote since they opposition so they can cut deals....apc can't ever bring block votes...cause if they agree on one candidate then there won't be a contest in the 1st place

hw did saraki destroyed apc you guys like cheap propanganga...let the nass decides their leader's outside dictating is bad for their independence...

Effiongdbest:
I'm not Igbo nor speaking for Igbo presidency but a restructured Nigeria OK young man!!

Stupid.

who called u igbo oga and who told atiku alone can restructure d country...jst stop dat stupid mentality of elections were rigged

FriendNG:
The next Senate president is Senator Ahmad Lawan. Some people want to decieve themselves by referring to the north as 1 region while the south can be micro zoned to SW SE SS.

NW produced the president
SW produced the VP
NE will produced the Senate president
SS can produce the speaker if at all they will

Northeast rightly owned the Senate Presidency. They contributed to the Apc project more than all the 3 southern region. Even the last Senate presidency belongs to them before it was hijacked by Saraki.

Should they decide 2 vote their son (Atiku), then Buhari will have been in Daura by now.

the best is allow everyone contest so d senators can vote their choice let them campaign...moreso nobody own d sp seat..

Effiongdbest:
All I'm saying is that they can't be thinking in their mind that we are easily manipulated just like that. We voted for Atiku because he promised to restructure but the North rigged it in favour of Buhari , and the SW too rigged in favour of sane Buhari so why shouldn't we see these yorubas as traitors?? Or you think their sudden goodwill is for no reason? They are doing this so we can support their 2023 aspirations that's all, not cos they love us and we know that very well.

u no get sense so na for una side dem no rigged...buhari has won stop this stupid mentality of de rigged...more so 2023 is still miles ahead and if the igbos want the presidency de shd play the politics or keep quiet....democracy is a game of numbers

capitalzero:
any attempt to make gbajabiamila speaker will cause rebellion in the house. speaker and vp should not come from the same zone.

they won't hear na as if other regions no be human being...gbajia shd remain majority leader

fasbat:
President Buari must have learnt his bitter lesson during the fiasco of selecting the leaderships of the legislature last term, so Rt Hon Dogara should forget the idea to staging any coup to get the speakership in June, Buhari will be involved in the processes now,also the party APC will be tougher in terms of party discipline...

it's d duty of nass members to elect their leader's...if apc would be wise equity shd guide them more so carry everything along to decide who become nass leaders if de try to use that useless phrase party supremacy...pdp ll twart it...remember everything ll be voted for in the house...this is not dictatorship wer d president decides everything

Effiongdbest:
We know them too well my dear. Snakes and unreliable chameleons.

is there anything wrong In that shd others wait for you.... since you are not interested in d presidency....let me state it clearly no region can produce d president without support from another three region at least...

FriendNG:
Keep on deceiving yourselves. So the north is 1 region while the south can be micro zoned to SW SE SW.


NW produced the president
SW produced the VP
NE will produced the Senate president
SS can produce the speaker if at all they will

So northeast should be sideline according to your biased thinking. They contributed more than all the 3 southern region. Even the last Senate presidency belongs to them before it was hijacked by Saraki.

Ahmed Lawal is the next Senate president. If not for you guys selfishnes you want to reap were you never sow. You have this sense of entitlement.

will u keep quiet... the best is for everyone to contest the position let the senators vote in the house let me see if lawan ll get it...u northerners think u own d country without votes from d south Buhari wouldnot been president
