Obaseki would regret the day he joined tax collectors
Secondus NWC tax collecting team should pay the 192 ward chairman 10m from their own 20b tax fund

Las las wike, Secondus, obaseki, 192wards chairman altogether will receive thorough beating in September 19

Then obaseki will account for his stewardship at efcc office

Femi aribisala, Bode George , yinka odumakin, reno omkri, farooq kperogi, afenifere, ACF, re still coming with their own conspiracy theories of linking Tinubu to Dogara defection.

richiemcgold:
This is the most laughable news I've ever heard, walahi!

something Tinubu have been doing since in lagos.
They gave jimi agbaje contracts, and sponsor his primary in order to block other serious contenders. Jimi agbaje is Tinubu customer dadani. 2023 he will still clinch PDP ticket in lagos , and receive another lashing while cashing out .

Tinubu controls both APC and PDP in lagos

NBS was right after all

This one go cause madness for children of hate and perdition

Rice man looking for another cash out
Obaseki mumu never do

Make me sef go meet Edo malfunctioning ATM at Edo govt house and promise him 95% victory maybe small dollars go drop for my pocket

This one go cause madness for children of hate and perdition

mrvitalis:
That was a gift from the failed Nigerian army u dummy

slow-poke guguru is working army ko navy ni
Any local government chairman that commission this trash in lagos will be sacked not to talk of sanwolu cutting ribbon off this death trap

Obaseki that can't win his polling unit and local government is forming political gladiator
Win or loose Uche secondus tax collecting team have already cashout
Obaseki will be the one to face prosecution

mrvitalis:
This is embarrassing to say the least ....there is nothing here to show ...this is a regular road in owerri or pH or enugu that won't even get commissioned na

yeah world class bridge that a local government chairman will send his assistant to oversee was commission by enugu governor with aso ebi praise singers.

kingzizzy:
You forget that Tinubu is not a Northerner, a fact that will weigh heavily on how the average Northerner will vote

abiola , Jonathan did it , nothing special mtcheww.
It is political structure that wins election not nyamiris stupid postulation of north vs south

Already said it when his news of defection broke out.

Dogara want to leverage on Bala Mohammed abymsal performance in Bauchi to clinch ticket of a formidable party to contest in 2023.

He is smart, bauchi is technically an Apc state despite having PDP governor.
APC have 22lamakers in Bauchi assembly(over 2/3)
APC have 3 senators
APC clinched all the house of reps seats except dogara consistuency.

Dogara played a huge role on bala election.

Dogara (APC) vs bala Mohammed(PDP) is a walkover for APC.
Seems buhari is happy to see Dogara return, he will be able to convince the party to concede the party ticket to dogara. And also rally support from Bauchi apc leaders to support dogara because he is a Christian from minority side of bauchi, Buhari is crucial to dogara ambition .

I see dogara breaking the jinx, of becoming the first democratically elected Christian governor in Bauchi history

Despite the identification of access to potable water as a major factor in preventing COVID-19 infection, Eziama, a community in Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State, lacks access to clean water and currently depends on Idodo River for its water supply.

In a Facebook post by Mandela Washington Fellow, researcher, author, and founder of Haske Water Aid and Empowerment Foundation, Ms. Chibuzor Mirian Azubuike, alleges that the NGO has mobilised resources, alongside its partner, Hope Spring Water NGR, to sink “the only public borehole” in the community.

“This is as a safety precaution to stop the spread of COVID-19,” Azubuike said.
Haske, through its Facebook page, beamed searchlight on the agrarian community whose only source of drinking water is alleged to be the Idodo River.

In February, Researcher on Environment and Food Security, Dr. Daniel Ugwu, via his Twitter handle, @dannyugwu, noted that Eziama community “has never had a borehole (private or public) constructed for them before, either by government or private organisations.”
Ugwu said, “The river serves as the community’s source of water for drinking, cooking, bathing and washing.

“Some members of the community walk several miles to get to the river, these are mostly women and children.

“The elderly, mostly women, who cannot come to fetch water from the river, have to pay young men with motor bikes to fetch water from the river for them (the faire ranges from 50-100 naira per 20 litres of water, depending on distance).

“The same water used for drinking without any treatment is where the villagers ferment their cassava (used for fufu production) for up to seven days and also sieve the fufu inside the river, all of which flows down to where they are being fetched for the purpose of drinking and cooking.

“The people of this community are faced with severe #WaterPoverty and their plight deserves urgent attention.

“This thread is not to shame or embarrass anyone but to solicit for intervention so that the beautiful people of Eziama can live improved and healthier lives.”

Haske says the socio-economic life of about 2,000 people in Eziama community revolves around the Idodo River, which provides basins for fisheries and is also used to ferment cassava by almost every household.

However, due to various activities carried out in it daily, the river can only be accessed in the early hours of the day as a source of drinking water, by which time sediments from previous day’s activities might have settled at the base of the river, Haske added.

According to aid agencies, 60 million Nigerians, or 33 percent of the population do not have access to clean water.

Reports have shown that poor access to sanitation and potable water are two major drivers of water-borne diseases and COVID-19 transmission in Nigeria.

The Africa Centre for Disease Control said over 50 per cent of people in many African countries are without access to basic water supply, even as frequent hand washing with soap and clean water is a major preventive measure against COVID-19.

The health agency lamented that people in the rural areas are the worst hit by the lack of access to water, adding that, “Preventive measures such as good hand and respiratory hygiene and maintaining physical distance are effective for preventing the spread of COVID-19.”

Despite Nigeria being a party to the United Nations Declaration of the Right to Water, which entitles every one living in Nigeria to sufficient, affordable, safe and acceptable water for personal and domestic uses, the Federal Ministry of Water Resources, in March, said majority of Nigerians are still exposed to unsafe and contaminated water.

The ministry said available statistics were not favourable to the country’s quest of achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 6 for water and sanitation, noting that it had become imperative for all water service providers, including state water agencies and community water committees, to develop their drinking water supply system.

Again, a survey conducted by Nigeria’s Bureau of Statistics and UNICEF revealed that millions of households in Nigeria were yet to have access to clean water sources.

The survey also showed that while the supply of clean water in Nigeria has improved recently, three in 10 people still lack access.

The United Nations Children’s Fund said 73 percent of the diarrhoeal and enteric disease burden is associated with poor access to adequate water, sanitation and hygiene, and is disproportionately borne by poorer children.

“Only 26.5 percent of the population use improved drinking water sources and sanitation facilities,” UNICEF stated.

Haske Water Aid and Empowerment Foundation on its website said the aim of its intervention was to “continuously make clean, potable water accessible to all rural communities in Nigeria, especially now that COVID-19 pandemic has increased the need to take sanitation and hygiene seriously.”

shachris02:
APC and their useless louts. Same tactics. No innovation whatsoever

say it without tears

zombieTRACKER:
This is the kinda yoot that snatches ballot boxes during election

e shock you Abi
Remember yahaya bello already hinted us of mass defection away from your favorite party.

ObaKlaz:
Another mole planted into APC on an undercover mission.

say it again without teary eyes

PDP is a sinking ship, yahaya bello hinted us already but we called him a clown.
Benue and zamfara governor re undergoing medical
By the time Apc unveil them ,PDP will recieve another shock again.

Politicians re not emotional baby like you, they always move to where their bread will be buttered.

Amitex:
This Dogara defection is suspect as far I can see. There must be something pursuing a frog jumping at day time.
My hunch tells me that the Bourdillion landlord is looking for a running mate that can balancr the religious equation.
It is only time that will tell but for the naive I say bookmark this.

hallucinations.

There re many apc bigwigs that re Christians e.g
SGF boss mustapha

AreaFada2:
Lol. Over-developed, over-educated and over-sophisticated skull miners are not benefiting from your "Tokyo" grade development.

Eko had to be taken over by Edo, named, managed and given an Edo monarch & high chiefs to even develop. It's now the pride of Yoruba people. The likes of you from Osun & Oyo hamlets now call it home. Our friends from across the Niger rightly call it "No man's land". Since we Edo are civilisers, not land grabbers. We only took bits of the Island for our sons: Eleko, Obanikoro, Eletu Odibo and others.

is that the reason why your state remains glorified village since its creation in 1991

nzeobi:
Dogara is a minority Christian, he cannot ever dream of winning the gubernatorial or senatorial election in bauchi.
It's apc chairmanship or VP in 2023

he can win under Apc.

Mazi of illiterates should change formation this pattern this boring and stale.

Ffk can never amount to anything again in nigeria political terrain .he should manage his loot well.

Cause he has insulted northern and Yoruba leaders unprovoked.

If ffk have an iota of shame he should have not traveled to zamfara to collect title in babanriga.


His past will continue to hunt.

Omo ale

AnanseK:
Not likely for Dogara to aspire for, or to become Bauchi Governor but permutations would place him in good stead for VP position to a certain well known Poltician. I suspect that he was persuaded by that prospect.

so it is easier for dogara to become vp of Apc than gov roadside political analyst have invade nairaland

Elineska:
APC National Chairmanship loading for Dogara...

the way you guys analyze politics like dunce

Dogara was the brain behind senator bala emergence as bauchi governor. He never lost his reelection like that bauchi noise making senator misau.

A huge loss to PDP in bauchi , a good addition to Apc in bauchi. If apc forgives his sin after the democratic coup in 8th assembly

Dogara is Bauchi governor in come 2023. Even before his defection
Apc has 22 lawmakers the majority in Bauchi house of assembly
Apc has 3 senators
And majority of house of reps.

Bauchi voted bala to punish Mohammed because of his poor performance and bala performance is much worse than his predecessor mohammed

Mehn people go hammer tomorrow

I'm sure obaseki aides will commence sharing of 5k and free bus for people to turn up at his campaign ground cos PDP na lazy strategist.

I remember how fayose paid all the transport workers in Ekiti 10k each not to work so that people will not see vehicle to attend APC campaign venue.

Last last fayemi trash his stooge eleka after he boasted on national TV that he is peter the rock

AreaFada2:
Lol. That "hole" was recently described by UK as more advanced than most parts of the West/Europe centuries ago already.

It's no news that those Northern immigrants into Yoruba land who now call themselves Yoruba are the problem of Nigeria. Those who accepted being named deceitful, untrustworthy (Yoruba).

My part of it is smart enough to prefer Ado-Akure than Yoruba.

SW always caused problems for Nigeria, directly or indirectly. Whether Awo versus Akintola crisis that first ripped Nigeria apart causing state of emergency in Western Region, Western media egging on Buhari to overthrow Shagari because Awo lost to him, his folks betraying MKO for power, maligning GEJ due to tribalism, manipulating Oshiomhole to cause havoc in Edo all forms of poo over the decade, etc.

Notable Northern people like Lamido Sanusi and others have correctly fingered Yoruba elite for these atrocities.

While Yoruba masses like to worship one corrupt "leader of Yoruba nation" or the other, those leaders siphon both yours and my money and create millions of agbero, skull miners, one chancers, one million boys, robbers and other criminals.

hateful bigot , you couldn't mention how Yoruba has been undeveloping your hole.
Like Edo was created in1991 Yorubas have collecting their funds in order to ensure Edo remains a primitive state

jaxxy:
Obaseki will still win.

say it again without teary eyes

Dogara want to run as Apc governor though he is from a Christian minority side of Bauchi. He is influential in his constituency , he played a key role on emergence of current governor senator bala Mohammed. I see him clinching the Ticket.

Yahaya bello has already hint us , that PDP will be deserted soon, we called him a clown.

I'm waiting for more suprise

AreaFada2:
Well, by 6pm tonight go through this thread again and see. Check those who rubbish this man and where 90% come from in Nigeria.

About 13 years, registered for 9 years, is enough to understand how tribal bigotry works on NL.

I know I will find you here. Even the topic that doesnt relate to yorubas , you bigoted mind will still mention Yoruba's.
Is Yoruba did one that is collecting allocation that underdeveloped the hole you came out from

Unigrad:
From this, it shows you don't understand politics. As a governor, you are preview to get information that normal citizen can't have. It was even know that Oshiomole and his political boys were trying to used the house of assembly to impeached Governor Obaseki immediately the house is inaugurated and if they have succeeded to make Victor Edoror as speaker or make governance difficult for Obaseki, he got the secret information and played a fast one on Oshiomole and his boys. Let me remind you, have you forgotten what Oshiomole did when he won his governorship at the court? PDP house members tried to used their majority to impeached Oshiomole which Oshiomole got the info and relocate the house sittings to government house allowing only few ACN members to sit thereby preventing majority PDP members from sitting. He told a lie that he wants to renovate the assembly building. Oshiomole quickly removed the roof. Oshiomole later finally succeeded to buy some PDP house members and they decamped to ACN before influencing the house to impeached PDP speaker Mr Garuba Zakawanu, they now install Uyi Igbe as the speaker who was so loyal to Oshiomole and he was ACN member then. Nobody including you will fold your hands to be impeached as Governor or support someone who will make governance difficult for you without doing anything. Go check history, Oshiomole did worst to protect his sit as governor, he fought against his impeached. If you are blaming Obaseki now and praising Oshiomole, you are a hypocrite.
Everyone knows that for a governor to succeed, he or she must have a house of assembly that is loyal and agree to the terms of the governor. It's also on public records on how Tony Kabaka and Samson Osagie were ranting that Obaseki can never come back as governor of Edo State. They started it before the inauguration of Edo State House of assembly.
Anything about Edo politics, I'm grounded in it and no online individual can deceive me to believe what they stand for. Most people posting rubbish against the governor have been paid peanut with promise of something after victory. For me, I know Obaseki is not a saint but he has tried in governance and a second term will not be a mistake. Election are won on polling units and not online. Edo cannot be sold to political fews, Edoites is going to sound it that the power to elect a governor or any persons in political positions are with the people and not the political few or godfathers. Most of the crowd in rallies are paid 1-2k, you will see politicians displaying to deceive the people, it's a lie, most people that formed the crowd have been paid. Why do you think politicians steal, it's because to gain power, you will spend alot of money, they pay to get crowd in their rallies, they pay for the citizens to vote for them, they pay to party members and they pay to godfathers. Let me just stop here.

you lies fear me
Even you want to lie , try and use your sense, how can an assembly that was never inaugurate impeach a sitting governor?
The 9 lawmakers obaseki inagurated was even done in the midnight at Edo govt house

lexy2014:
U are already contradicting urself. Initially u said oshiomole had no beef with obaseki. But now u are saying oshiomole disqualified obaseki. Pls y did oshiomole disqualify obaseki?

Pls how much did obaseki spend in trying "to get oshiomole arrested and removed as APC chairman"? Pls who did obaseki order or pay to arrest oshiomole? How was oshiomole eventually removed as APC chairman? Can u pls tell me d role obaseki played in that process& how was he responsible for it?

But u still dodged answering d following questions:

If 14 Edo state assembly didn't "bow to obaseki", how does that concern oshiomole? What were they bowing for& not bowing for? Who are d oshiomole loyalists sacked& y were they sacked?

seems you have comprehension issue and your brain couldn't process the info I gave you.
