instead of reminding us everyday that buhari is a serial loser, why don't you tell us how your jonathan is going to win the election? Don't forget, this time around you can only rig the election were you are popular. The last time I checked, jonathan is not very popular in four regions of the federation..

Continue typing trash with that your tecno phone.
You don't judge popularity on Internet.

A statement of results which qualified him for a certificate has already been produced - fact!
Have you seen the folks at Cambridge, who addressed other ancillary matters in two different press statements, dispute its authenticity? Of course not!

I am afraid El-rufai is absolutely right on this score, some of you just can't help showcasing your limited intelligence to the rest of the world.

Have you ever seen anybody who got employed with mere statement of result?
Keep deceiving yourself.

meforyou1:
Buhari is a product of quota system. He has no school cert. To hell with dwarfish el rufai

He traveled to London for two weeks for reasons best known to him, Why didn't he bring the photocopy of his certificate.


APC Mumu people.

To prove that I'm brainless as you said , show me Buhari's certificate.
Or Sharaaaaaaaap.

I insist, Buhari is certificateless.

Buhari could not remember the name of his running mate, blame Jonathan.

APC mumu people.

All enemies of Nigeria, be it boko haram, kidnappers, armed robbers or APC will be defeated.

gabriel212:
Why is the presidency trying to bring in the SOUTH WEST into the feud so that we can reason he was fighting our course by trying to make Adeshina the AfDB Head? If he has issues with Morocco he should sort it out by not involving any ethnic group for political sentiments.

Why read tribal sentement in everything?

May APC only see the change they're looking for in the states they govern



Amen.

PedroJP:
It is more like all corrupt pdp members leaving to have another gathering called APC.

Yeaa, APC is PDP's dust bin.

There appears to be no end in sight to the diplomatic spat between Nigeria and Morocco, as Nigerian officials have insisted that a phone conversation did take place between President Goodluck Jonathan and Morocco’s King Mohammed VI last Friday while the monarch was in France.

According to sources in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the conversation focused on the president seeking Morocco’s backing for the election of Nigeria’s representative, Minister of Agriculture, Dr. Adewumi Adesina, as President of the African Development Bank (AfDB) in May 2015.

Morocco recalled its Ambassador to Nigeria for “consultations” on Monday after Nigeria’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement refuting Rabat’s earlier one, that Jonathan was snubbed by the Moroccan monarch.


However, sources informed THISDAY that in furtherance of Nigeria’s objective to secure the presidency of AfDB, Vice-President Namadi Sambo had been designated special envoy to solicit the support of three countries, Morocco, Algeria and Egypt.

It was gathered that just last Thursday, the Foreign Ministry had received instructions from the Presidential Villa to facilitate Sambo's visit to the three countries.

In line with the instruction, the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Ambassador Danjuma Sheni, reportedly made phone calls to the Nigerian missions in the countries to inform their hosts of the vice-president’s visit. The ambassadors of the three countries in Abuja were also formally informed of the impending visit.

Accompanied by Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sambo was received by Algerian authorities last Saturday. His next port of call was supposed to be Rabat, but ahead of his visit, Moroccan authorities summoned Nigeria’s charge d’affaires in Rabat, Mr. B.B Hamman, and said they were not interested in receiving Nigeria’s special envoy.

In off the record conversations with highly credible sources, THISDAY gathered that Nigeria’s position on Morocco’s occupation of Western Sahara has been a bone of contention in the diplomatic relations between Nigeria and the North African country.

“Morocco has been lobbying Nigeria and other African countries to withdraw their recognition of Western Sahara as an independent state, but we cannot do that because a focal point of our foreign policy is that there should be no colony on the continent.

“They probably also felt slighted that Vice-President Sambo chose to visit Algeria first, as Algeria is also an ardent supporter of the Saharawis,” one foreign ministry source said.

“So we played into their hands by soliciting their support for Adesina’s election. We didn’t know they would turn a non-issue such as a phone call into a big one. If they were not interested in receiving the VP, there was no need to make it public, after all, this is not unusual in diplomatic relations,” the source added.

Another source accused the Moroccans of deliberate mischief by taking advantage of the impending elections to allege that Jonathan wanted to play on the sentiments of Nigeria’s Muslim population.
“How does a Moroccan King backing any candidate influence votes in Nigeria?” the source queried.

The source further explained that Nigeria recalling its Moroccan ambassador in retaliation does not arise because Nigeria does not have an ambassador in the country at the moment.

“The last ambassador withdrew to participate in politics. We have a charge d’affairs, but you only recall officers of equal rank. It is unfortunate that they are making an unnecessary show, and recalling their ambassador.

“But it is also possible he is being recalled for punitive measures, maybe he misled his country on why we were sending an envoy there in the first place,” the source added.


But seeking to draw blood from the brewing diplomatic row, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has asked the federal government to come clean with Nigerians on the cause of the ongoing diplomatic face-off between Nigeria and Morocco,
which had forced the Kingdom to recall its Ambassador to Nigeria, while portraying Nigeria as a liar.

In a statement issued yesterday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the president must in particular clarify the thorny issue of whether or not he spoke with King Mohammed VI of Morocco.

“According to published reports, the Nigerian Foreign Affairs Ministry had said President Jonathan spoke on the telephone with the Moroccan King. But the Kingdom, in a very scathing statement, said no such conversation took place.

“The statement said ‘Morocco is surprised at the incredible twist given by Nigeria to an alleged phone conversation that never took place between HM King Mohammed VI and Nigerian President’.


“This is very serious because, in effect, Morocco has called Nigeria a liar. Therefore, it behoves President Jonathan to personally intervene to address such an international embarrassment.


“The questions seeking answers are: Did President Jonathan speak with the Moroccan King? If not, who is responsible for this egregious misrepresentation that has embarrassed a whole country and its leader?” it queried.

APC said Nigeria, because of its much-acclaimed leadership role in Africa, must not allow such a diplomatic faux pas to go without being addressed, adding that other countries are keenly watching the row between Nigeria and Morocco.

“Before anyone accuses us of politicising this issue, we make bold to say that we, the APC, and indeed all Nigerians are stakeholders in the Nigerian project. When Morocco branded Nigeria a liar, over whether or not our president spoke with the North African nation’s King, it did not mention PDP or APC. It made a collective reference to Nigeria.

“This is why we feel strongly that this issue must be addressed urgently. Until then, all Nigerians, irrespective of their political leanings, will remain liars in the eyes of the international community,” the party said.
Also, the APC presidential campaign organisation said the president by the diplomatic spat, had added one more in our diplomatic reversals with the country’s face-up with Morocco.

Addressing journalists yesterday in Abuja, the campaign organisation’s spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, said: “Right from Gen. Murtala Muhammed, Nigeria has been the pride of the black man. Before the Saharawi Republic, Jonathan stabbed the people of Palestine in the back.

“In international relations, domestic interest is part of international policy. In the case of Mr. Jonathan, it is the other way round. He is dictated to.

“Israeli President, (Benjamin) Netanyahu told his people that he just called the Nigerian president and he will now reverse his country's decision and that was what happened.


“You have a country that is serving other nations and not serving itself,” said the statement that appeared more like a personal opinion tainted by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, rather than the position of the APC, which sought clarification on whether a phone conversation took place or not.

However, it was not all knocks for the Jonathan administration, as the APC campaign body hailed the federal government and the military for their recent efforts at confronting the insurgents in the North-east.


Shehu said the ongoing international efforts to contain the attacks in the North-east, especially the collaborative engagement with Nigeria’s neighbours, has resulted in significant progress being made and should be commended.

So that Tinubu control the water I drink? Chie! Chie! Chie

That's the reality if people of Lagos failed to vote APC out.

Apc should remove the log in their eyes before blowing the dust in Pdp eyes. #war against boko Haram is war against the north-apc.

The same people talking of corruption as if they're not more corrupt than PDP. People of Lagos are protesting the planned sale of Lagos Water Corporation to one of Tinubu's companies.

omolami:
I wonder why APC senators are crying wolf where there is none concerning d comfirmation of Obanikoro as minister. The rule in d senate which is well known to all members is that an allegation which has not been proved does not hold water. secondly, on Obanikoro's issue the capt who claimed to have recorded the meeting has been on the run and thus cannot come openly to prove d allegation, reminicence of Chibok girls matter. Nigerians are wiser bec we cannot allow another chibok game to occur. Thirdly, even if d Apc senators are alledging corruption, what of Saraki who has N21bn case hanging on his neck in d court of competent jurisdiction? what is he doing in d senate? is not bec he is yet to be proved guilty? What of Goje who is having a case of over N10bn on his neck in court, what is he doing in the senate? is it not bec the case is yet to be disposed off? What of Ndume who is facing case of alledged sponsor of bokoharam in d court? By all standard what is such Ndume still doing in d senate is it not bec his case has not been done with? Therefore Apc hypocracy is well documented and known. The president of d senate is a well respected man who knows his onus and will not allow few apc senators to put the NASS in disrepute, he has done the needful. Anyone not satistied can go to court.

You're right.

Tinubu is trying to add one more corporation into his already thriving large criminal empire.

This TINUBUsation of Lagos must stop or be stopped. How can one person arrogate people's wealth for himself.





Seun, obinoscopy Ngwakwe,

maestroferddi:
Lagosians have a choice: vote in the Landlord and his latest stooge or vote for a man that can make a basic necessity like water accessible to all.

With the humongous IGR Lagos is generating per month, is it beyond reason that the city should have adequate water supply at an affordable rate?

But we all know wetin dey. The cabal is at work with their insatiable greed for filthy lucre.

God help Nigeria!

For sure, Lagos water cooperation will be privatised to one of Tinubu's companies.

May God save us.

GEJ till 2019.

A recent study by the World Health Organisation says 66 million Nigerians do not have access to potable or safe water, a situation which has given rise to water-related diseases, costing the country a whooping sum of $2.5billion as people throng various hospitals for treatment.
The situation is worse in Lagos State which accounts for about 21 million people without safe water. Indeed, it is said that over 40% of them do not have access to pipe-borne water from the state’s water corporation, hence their reliance on various alternative means of water supply. The most common is by sinking wells and boreholes.
From Lagos Island to Lekki-Ajah and Lagos Mainland, the situation is the same as residents pay through their nose to get potable water. A beautician, Mr Majekodunmi Adebari, who recently moved to his new apartment in Agboyi-Ketu said he spent N300,000 to sink a borehole.
Similarly a resident of Pero in Agege local government, Mr Mudasiru Gbadamosi,claimed he spends about N3,000 per week to get potable water.
In the face of this, the Lagos State government recently revealed its intention to partner with the World Health Organisation, WHO, to provide potable water for residents. According to the plan, the Lagos State Water Corporation will be operated by a Public Private Partnership, PPP. But the plan has been widely criticised by civil society groups which are of the opinion that Lagosians will be forced to pay for the services they don’t enjoy.
At Onipanu, for instance, residents claim most of the pipes are rusty with water being supplied only twice per month. In places like Baruwa-Ipaja, Gowon Estate, Amuwo-Odifin, Agbado-Ijaye and Ikotun, to mention but a few, residents claim they do not feel the impact of the state water corporation.
To make matters worse, some areas cannot dig or sink boreholes or wells due to the topography.
Also, a recent study kicks against the proliferation of boreholes in Lagos, reason being that the ground water could have been contaminated by salt water from the Atlantic Ocean.
Last Tuesday, Ikeja and its environs witnessed a large turn out of protesters under the aegis of civil society groups who came out to register their grievances with the intention by the state government to privatise the state water corporation. They were led by Environmental Rights Action, ERA/ Friends of the Earth Nigeria, FoEN, in collaboration with other stakeholders which delivered a letter to the state house to press home their demand that the privatisation plan be shelved.
Though the state governor was absent, the letter was, however, handed over to one of the workers as the protesters promised a follow up.
Director, Corporate Accountability ERA/FoEN, Akinbode Oluwafemi, is of the opinion that the state water corporation should not be privatised. His reason was that the action will increase unemployment rate, even as residents would be compelled to pay more for less services. “Lagos State water should be controlled by Lagosians, not by the World Bank,” he said.
Corroborating his view, Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Lagos State chapter, Comrade Idowu Adelakun, said the state water scheme should be managed by government which had the responsibility to provide potable water for residents.
Some of the protesters claimed water is a fundamental human right which should be managed by the government. According to Mr. Victor Oni, an advertising agent: “Privatisation has been bastardised in Nigeria. Government will deliberately ruin some public corporations through corruption and inefficiency.
“They will turn around to sell the corporation to their cronies who in turn will strip those companies of their assets, sack the workers and pretend to make it work while charging unjustifiably exorbitant fees.”
By and large, the masses do not benefit . Though we may make a case for it when the government is ready to privatise governance and the economy, as both are afflicted with same illness.

Mrs, Abiodun Irokwe, a business development consultant, added: ‘’Why is government privatising parastatals? Can’t it manage them effectively? My own opinion is that government should stop privatising. Instead they should improve the management performance.
In a similar vein, Miss Chinaza Ezechi, a self-employed worker, said that though she has not enjoyed tap water even for one day, she will not support privatisation of the water corporation. According to her: ‘’Why should they privatize it, even the so called PHCN that was privatized, now charges higher than when it was in the hand of government. In my area, we don’t enjoy electricity, yet we pay power bills. Even if the water corporation is privatised now, the charges will also rise like PHCN bills and not everybody will get the water and they will also pay for the services they don’t enjoy. Government should wake up and know the root cause of why there is no water and sack those ghost workers in that ministry. Government shouldn’t privatise all their ministries. They should do their job and provide us with all the social amenities they have promised. It is not too much for them to do; just give an order and it is done.’’
Among other things, the civil societies advised government to fully uphold the human right to water as an obligation and to reject contracts designed by or involving International Finance Corporation IFC, which operates to maximise private profit.
Meanwhile, a copy of the letter to the governor reads: “We urge you to reject water PPP projects in Lagos. The models upon which these proposals are based have failed to uphold the human right to water and have locked government into long-tern contracts.”
