Rubbish! Dementia have started affecting Sagay

This administration has made us realized that integrity has another meaning. Even those you hold in high esteem before now shows they are worthless on integrity scale. This administration made us know that not all the educateds are reasonable.even some youths that are claiming to be leaders of tomorrow turned out to be myopic minded if not, why is it difficult to differentiate a government’s property from personal? Asking for donations while being the president doesn’t make it government’s. He didn’t say he was building for government, it wasn’t placed under any ministry and government did not oversee the project,he clearly declared it personal so it’s disappointing when some people talk before reasoning. I think Politics should not wipe our common sense

Gandollar:
Nothing bro. They fall to see the sarcasm of his tweet.

They understood him but they have been blindfolded by partisanship. All they are concerned about is pdp, apc not governance. Most of them are just shouting, they don’t even know their right under law that’s why they are too concerned about parties and get deceived by the irritating words of the politicians.

Investigations has revealed that the initial plan of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was to proceed with the Presidential and National Assembly Elections in some states as earlier planned while holding those of the remaining states in a subsequent date.

But the insistence of the United States of America and other members of the international community frustrated the plan.

According to our findings, the decision at the meeting of INEC Chairman and 12 INEC Commissioners was for election to hold today in about 26 states while the remaining states will have theirs in a later day, but this decision was reversed at the meeting with international observers and other stakeholders during which the US representatives insisted on the presidential election holding simultaneously across the country.

Do it is not opposition again,it is USA that should be blamed? So these people are not ashamed to suggest staggered elections as expensive as the election is? Osun State style sweets dem well well hmmmm.

The campaign office of President Muhammadu Buhari has blamed the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the postponement of the 2019 presidential elections.

Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, announced at about 2:40 a.m. Saturday that the election had been postponed, barely hours after Nigerians were set to hit the polling units.

The elections would now hold on new dates scheduled as February 23 for presidential and national assembly elections and March 9 for governorship and state assemblies elections.

Mr Yakubu said the announcement came hours after a string of strategic meetings were held by top INEC officials to review preparedness for the exercise. It was concluded that a rash of logistics challenges that arose on Friday informed the postponement.

Ekiti, Niger and Taraba states were identified as some of the states that faced glitches of distribution of voting materials that would be difficult to resolve in time for the elections Saturday morning, thereby forcing the postponement.

Nigerians online expressed severe disappointment in INEC’s eleventh-hour decision, with many criticising the umpire for displaying stark incompetence since it had four years to prepare for the exercise.

Festus Keyamo, a spokesperson for Mr Buhari’s reelection campaign committee, also expressed sadness about the development, and quickly heaped the blame on the PDP in a statement released minutes after the announcement.

“We condemn and deprecate this tardiness of the electoral umpire in the strongest terms possible.

“President Muhammadu Buhari had since cooperated fully with INEC by ensuring everything it demanded to conduct free and fair elections were promptly made available to it.

“This news is therefore a huge disappointment to us and to our teeming supporters nationwide and around the world, many of whom have come into the country to exercise their franchise.

“We do hope that INEC will remain neutral and impartial in this process as the rumor mill is agog with the suggestion that this postponement has been orchestrated in collusion with the main opposition, the PDP, that was never ready for this election.

“We note that all the major credible demographic projections have predicted a defeat of the PDP and it seriously needed this breather to orchestrate more devious strategies to try and halt President Buhari’s momentum.

“It did the same as the ruling Party in 2015, when it realized the game was up, by orchestrating the postponement of the 2015 elections by six weeks. Now, it may be up to its old trick again.

“We have earlier raised the alarm that the PDP is bent on discrediting this process the moment it realized it cannot make up the numbers to win this election. We are only urging INEC not collude with the PDP on this.

“We are truly worried because as early as Friday morning, some known PDP Social Media influencers unwittingly announced this postponement, but quickly deleted the message and apologized to the public that it was fake news,” Mr Keyamo said.

The spokesperson also urged Nigerians to support INEC in its challenges, and prevent the commission from being compromised by the opposition.

“We do not want to be forced to a situation of announcing our total loss of confidence in INEC, because we know where that would leave our democracy.

“It is in the light of the above that we wish to appeal to Nigerians and our supporters to be patient, calm and resolute despite this temporary setback.

“Let us not give anyone, especially the PDP, the opportunity to plunge this nation into a crises, which is what they earnestly desire. Its imminent defeat is just a few days away.

“Lastly, we wish to draw the attention of INEC and the world to observe that the PDP has clearly and openly said it plans to announce parallel results through some funny device it has procured or developed.

“We wish to reiterate that it is only INEC that is legally and constitutionally empowered to declare results and it constitutes an offence for anyone to do so.

“We urge INEC to speak up now and warn the PDP to desist from this ignoble act that is capable of plunging the nation into a crises of immeasurable proportions,” he said.

Mr Keyamo did not attach any evidence to corroborate his claims against the PDP or other opposition elements he accused in the statement.

A spokesperson for the PDP did not immediately answer calls seeking comments in the early hours of Saturday morning.

This man is a good example of a useless,shameless,senseless failure.must wverytbe about blame game? Must everything be attached to d opposition? So the opposition is the one in charge of INEC logistics? Why not ask INEC what happened to logistics after releasing billions of naira to them for the election. It’s a shame if the excuse for the most expensive election is logistics. Also it would have bn better if d allegation of d opposition announcing a parallel result came from an illiterate than a SAN. You are a shame to your people.

Racoon:
The government is still not ready to conduct free fair election.

I think Nigerians mentality and mindset is still what’s stopping us from having a free and fair elections. If all these supporters could think right and be objective, there would be no violence and rigging would be difficult because you don’t know my mind and decision, I will just go out and vote and leave those power mongers wondering what would happen.

No, it’s not his conscience. They failed to play like a sane human being so,they are exhausted,they can no longer defend the case without him being sentenced as an accomplice.

Kagawa10:
Liar. The swiss bank asked the worldbank to oversee Abacha loot. That was all. As simple as Abc.

That’s why I told you to limit ur manipulated facts to ur less informed followers. One of the conditions to release $320million abacha loot was to spell out what d money would be used for and how it would be accomplished and that’s y they involve world bank in d whole thing. You can still go find the news.

Kagawa10:
I would rather a president that made a mistake pronuncing a number but has many project to his name despite earning 60% less unlike Jonathan, than a looter like Atiku who privatised our amenities and infrastructures to his cronies. A leopard can't change his skin.


Tradermoni is supervised by worldbank which the Swiss bank asked to supervise Abacha's looted funds released to Nigeria.

In fact, I have to hail the master plan of Osibanjo to come up with tradermoni because this looted money that the Swiss bank didn't want to be added to our federal revenue/reserve could be loaned out to petty traders such as fruit/vegetable sellers, mtn card sellers etc and then returned back into federal pockets. Sense won't kill Osinbajo.

He's putting smile on the faces of petty traders as well as the face of our federal reserves. Best Idea to ever come up with than Falana asking us to take the Swiss bank to court over such condition.

Please kagawa or shinji, next time you want to manipulate facts to defend disappointment,pls d it with people that are les informed than you.the money th Swiss bank asked d world bank to monitor was d one they said they are sharing 5k monthly stipends to poor families not tradermoni. Tradermoni is another prodigal project entirely.

How do you people even reason..

Don't blame him, you should notice he's doing the work or all his colleagues, so i don't think he heard when Atiku said he deposited money at fmc yola for whoever can not pay their medical bills and it's been on for over four years but because he didn't come to social media to say it like the tradermoni he's not a humanitarian.

Even though I'm a born again Christian, i think we southern Christians are unnecessarily heating up the polity with this unpatriotic rejection of this new incorruptible CJN appointed by president Buhari. Muric and other Muslim organizations must stand up to defend this new CJN against the hypocrisy of we southern Christians. When GEJ suspended CBN governor Sanusi, we Christians laughed and said nothing to condemn the move all because he was exposing GEJ's corrupt government. Now Buhari has suspended this thief called onnoghen and every Christian is spilling thrash. We Christians are indeed a problem in this country. In my next life i will be a Muslim

You don't need to wait till your next life to change ur religion. You are the one sounding like a dumb here. Nobody since this issue has started has ever brought religion into it, you are the one talking rubbish maybe to get likes from some people on here. You are such a hypocrite. E pele o, holier than thou burn against Christian.

socialmediaman:
Coming from youths, that’s disappointing! If you give some people opportunity, they’ll do worse than Buhari when it comes to freedom of expression.

You had better not allow anyone to play with your brain. Who are the national committee of Yoruba youth? Abi youdon forget say na dis people? When they can just sit somewhere and write something and tell you a body wrote and even protested. You can reason that through their social media claims of "4 million people decamped today, 5Million decamped tomorrow" in a state o as if people in that state are not working they are all card carrying politicians. You just read news and smile at their style of play.

"I presume Atiku may have traveled to the US under the umbrella of the diplomatic immunity of Saraki's official delegation.

It is possible that the trip was listed as an official trip of the Senate President of Nigeria, and the delegates to accompany him included Atiku.

Otherwise, why would the Nigerian senate president be there on a trip with Atiku. This trip was taken solely for the purpose of removing the cloud of imminent arrest and prosecution from Atiku if he traveled to the US.

Anyone that knows the working of diplomacy will realize that the US will not selectively arrest Atiku or any other member of the Saraki's delegation on this trip for as long as the tag of legislative delegation from Nigeria covers him.

This gimmick will only work on the gullible and uninformed. What we are asking from Atiku is to travel to the US as a private citizen.

He needs to take this trip on his own without any government of Nigeria official who is covered by diplomatic immunity."

Buhari may be bad as claimed by some Nigerians but Atiku is not and never an option

Hmmmm does that mean Osama Bin ladin could have traveled to the USA under his country's diplomatic immunity? Even charles Taylor and some other drug lords that are on USA watch list because being in the entourage of a powerful government official in their various countries would be one of the cheapest things for them.

We youth see are accomplices of their evil acts. No matter who is caught under any administration, let's join hand to deal with that person, our weapon is the Social Media, let's use it to our advantage.

All I know is, If Hausa Man enter and jail Ijaw man, one day Ijaw man will be there and the truth will be laid bare.

Who cares if they jail themselves and we have our way?

We need to stop supporting them, how many of Walter Onnoggen's children are on NL reading and commenting, let's not phycologically injure ourselves because of these nogooders.

You are very correct, but two wrongs will never make a right. It's not about the tribe or religion, it's about the timing and the political undertone. Were they not aware of this since 2016? Why are they just doing this when it's election time and they know most if the post election cases would pass through the man? Is it not just to get to him and make him agree with their terms? Why is it now that they are going after whoever they deem strong to be a hindrance to their plans. Corruption should be fought with clean hands and mind not with sentiments and selfish interest. Fighting corruption with sentiment and biased mind is itself corruption.

It is only pdp members that love corruption, the man is under investigation and so the accounts has to be frozen pending the outcome of the investigation.

Why not ask akpabio that is not corrupt and doesn't like corruption also doesn't have more than one bank account that you have the checkbook with you for your school fees? Or better still you can take from saint obanikoro's just one bank account.

Nkemakonam62:
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) does not have to engage in violence to win the forthcoming elections,Cochairman of its Presidential Campaign Council, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, said yesterday. Tinubu, who was responding to allegations from certain quarters that the APC was preparing grounds for violence during the elections, said those making such allegations were already sniffing their defeat at the polls. He said the cries of violence were also indications that those making the allegations had already conceded defeat even before the first ballot was cast in the election.

The APC leader spoke to reporters after a meeting with traditional rulers from the South West in Abuja. The traditional rulers were led by the Ooni of Ife,Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. Tinubu said neither the party nor its presidential candidate,Muhammadu Buhari, wanted any Nigerian to be a victim of violence during the elections and therefore did not need any form of violence to win the election. The APC, he pointed out, was working hard to win the elections, while those alleging violence were busy looking for excuses for their impending defeat. On his meeting with the obas,Tinubu said: “The royal fathers spoke of the need for a peaceful election. When you have the belief that you can get a proper result, you work hard because you want peace. “When you believe that you can win, you don’t want violence. We all love our children, our brothers and our followers and none of us would want our followers to become sacrificial lambs.

“We won’t encourage violent disruption of any election because we are confident of winning. Those who are crying wolf before the election have already accepted defeat before the election as far as I am concerned. “I am very happy and proud of the very promising situation. When you have the endorsement of your royal fathers, it means you have the people with you and the voice of the people is the voice of God. I am elated.”

The APC chieftain appreciated the royal fathers for their support and for not giving up on the APC and also for visiting the President to encourage him. Taking a fresh broadside at Alhaji Atiku Abubakar,the PDP presidential candidate,Tinubu said he (Atiku) did nothing to help Lagos State as Vice President when the Obasanjo government seized its local government allocations, but merely asked them to go and comply with Obasanjo’s directives. He said: “Atiku was Vice President of this country when the local government allocations for Lagos State were seized. “When we led a protest to Atiku then, he said: ‘Go away; go and comply.’ Without the allocations, you cannot bring development. “When we said we needed power to power Lagos and the industrial base in our region, they said no.

“They were taking away N250 million from our allocations every month for being innovative and creative. “Everywhere we turned, they rejected us and punished us. But we never gave up. “Today, we are in that progressive development championed and led by President Muhammadu Buhari. Thank you for not looking back. Thank you for visiting and encouraging him.” Tinubu also spoke on his purported collapse on Monday after the inauguration of the APC Presidential Campaign Council. His words: “Fake news and whoever is manufacturing it, you better don’t believe them.” He also described as negative and fake news,reports of the alleged boycott of the campaign council by APC governors.

He said: “The point is, the governors had to stay back home because we all don’t have to converge in one place to decide certain modalities when we can easily go back to them on what was discussed and what we expect from their states. That is what we call structuring in an election. There are some jelly fish reporters around Nigeria these days.” At the meeting,Oba Ogunwusi said as royal fathers, traditional rulers would therefore continue to preach peace and peaceful coexistence. The Oni said: “My message to Nigerians in this time of election is peace, peace and peaceful co-existence all the way. “The power of every Nigerian and every electorate lies in the thumb. “As traditional rulers, we are fathers to all and in playing that role, we pray that there should be peace in this country. “

That is what we are preaching and it is very important to all of us to know that Nigeria is greater than any of us. So, we should continue to preach peace and identify with good things that will be beneficial to the nation. That is why we are here.” Hide original message The traditional rulers, who had earlier visited the President, also included the the Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Aremu Gbadebo; the Alayemore of Ido Osun, Oba Aderemi Adedapo; the Deji of Akure, Oba Aladetoyinbo Ogunlade; the Ayangburen of Ikorodu, Oba Kabiru Shotobi; the Olukare of Ikare Akoko, Oba Akadiri Momoh 1V, and the Oloye of Oye Ekiti,Oba Michael Oluwole Ademolaju Adugbole III.

How could he say Buhari is good? Some of us were shouting at the top of our voices that Buhari will set us back 30 years if he became Nigerias president. How come they didn't know he was going to be a disaster and they are claiming to be leaders? Leaders should be intelligent and should have foresight.

To be honest, none of those returning to the pdp deserved to be accepted back into the fold because it was them that brought this evil man on us, including Atiku and Saraki.

If not for the fear of what another 4 years of Buhari will present to us, we for vote am so that he can teach the remaining crossovers a terrible lesson just like SalamRushdie said.

I am not disputing that, but as long as there is always room to undo whatever has been done, that's what most of them shouting buhari should have done. I will always say it, it's not the matter of apc/pdp. People lost hope in d former president due to some issues and due to d media hijack by the apc, so if anyone thinks as at that time that buhari would be better than gej, fine, but as soon as they realize they were wrong, there is nothing bad in saying it to the nation that we were wrong, we thought he'd be better. That's what i meant. As a matter of fact, i think the leadership of Nigeria is like titrating, we keep shopping till we get one that fits. So i expects every one that shouted sai baba then to also advocate for his removal now since he didn't fit in to expectation.

SalamRushdie:
Just see how his tweet absolving Buharibof despotism came back to haunt him ..isnt God great!!!..If not for the suffering of innocent Nigerians I would have voted for Buhari next next month just so he will deal with Tinubu and Ameachi

There is nothing wrong in saying someone is good if you think so and saying he's bad when you realized it. That's what we call integrity. But our people prefers to stick with the person just to save their face that's why you see tinubu giving incoherent speeches, they all know the truth but it is hard to come down from the high horse of pride. I'm nit saying dino is a saint but that his act is a true act of activism /democracy.

[quote author= post=74462734]According to him, the hunger, poverty and under-development being faced in the country was because PDP diverted huge monies meant for the public into private use in its 16-year rule.

Your insanity and Dumbness seem hereditary. Even if i support apc, the person saying this lacks every moral right to say it and i will see him as the highest hypocrite. But since you yourselves are not sane and lacks common sense, someone that spent all the 16years with pdp now came here to say this like he's referring to some other people and you are here typing rubbish. I now begin to believe some of you are being pais to do this for real, if not, this is too ridiculous to celebrate.

If this convoy could visit sambisa or the killer herdsmen, things could have been a bit better. It's shameful how they made it so obvious that it is political by going in such numbers to arrest a harmless man. I once called them in the midnight while armed robbers were in my friend's house and even shot him, they told me on phone that they didn't have fuel in their van, but they can go in convoy to a place like this.

It's quite funny how they have returned politics to the akintola and awolowo time. Why being violent? I passed through a particular area in Lagos some minutes ago and these apc guys tearing down other parties poster and pasting their own or some of them will just paste it over the ones there.

Mr Festus Keyamo (SAN), Spokesperson of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Presidential Campaign Council, says the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), is not a threat in the 2019 elections.

He said that the PDP would never serve as a threat to the re-election bid of President Muhammadu Buhari

Keyamo made the claim on Thursday during the inauguration of the Women and Youths Wing of the APC Presidential Campaign Team in Abuja.

However, he called on APC supporters to intensify efforts towards ensuring that the party recorded massive victory at the polls.

“ They are no longer a threat to President Muhammadu Buhari because their effort is collapsing. They have more than four hundred groups but the groups are now dropping on weekly basis.

“ It clearly shows that they cannot function without public funds and they discovered that it is no longer business as usual,” he said.

Keyamo also said that the opposition party has been disseminating false information to tarnish the image of President Buhari which would not help them at the polls.

This man and his crew are not just boko haram physically but his mentality shows he is an extremist. Because, a supposed learned person should know the order his/her environment stands on. You are living in a country where constitutionally, they are not using Islamic Callender, and asking for the holidays in the Islamic Callender. Have you ever heard any Christian in uae protest against working on sunday? Why didn't he go to work today and tell the federal government that he doesn't want to go on holiday? Being religious doesn't mean you should lack sense. Imagine if you ask him his date of birth, he's going to answer you within January to December o. Go and settle where Islamic Callender is in use if you want and stop causing problems.
