barcanista:
I strongly disagree ma. Kano Politicians and even Government officials are loyal to Buhari FIRST before Kwankwaso. A Buhari singlehandedly sent Kwankwaso packing in 2003, and a Buhari endorsement returned Kwankwaso in 2011.

How?

If the strategy to make an Igbo person vice presidential candidate is to deceive Igbos into voting APC, then they must be dreaming. They have tried it with Okadigbo, Umezuoke etc and failed. Even Bashir Tofa used former governor of Central bank of Biafra, SILVESTER UGO, yet Igbos voted for MKO Abiola. I don't love APC, but the advice I will give them is to stay clear of EzekweSILLY of a woman, because her chibok activities has portrayed as hypocrite. What did she do when the whole of Igbo land was under the grasp of kidnappers, is chibok girls more valuable to her than Igbo land?
So unfortunate.

BREAKING NEWS.........................




Kwankwaso, Atiku Abubakar, Buhari, Okorocha, Nda Isiah screened and confirmed for APC Presidential primary.

Plshavmercyamen:
Nwanne, Owelle is going for second tenure and every machinery to get him there is already in place and only needs proper fine tuning when the time comes. Though, the decision to re contest is not an easy one for Owelle cos of his promise not to go for a second term and he would want to be seen to be a man of his words. And if worse comes to worse, Owelle is more favourably disposed to Iheanacho's candidacy. And as regards Osita, he wil remain the nat'nal organising sec. Of the party. Udo diri gi

Hmmm.

chimerase2:
stop playing politics without common sense
When did rochas decamped to APC
Cos u can't tell me all he has been doin is only in this past 5 months
And mind u he hasn't done anytin since the pass 6 months now
So this pass 6 months now has been useless and worthless and dat is becos of his romance with APC same thing with amechi

Don't mind the lying mouths of berem and Abagworo, all the things Amaechi has been doing since 2007 has been converted to APC achievement by them.
painful.

Abagworo:
Whether Okorocha contests or not, Imo will never go back to Egypt after exodus. The level of development in virtually everything is miraculous under APC and continuity is needed.

Mtcheeeew.

Obiagelli:
I think we have to wait and see, i just mailed someone that should know.

Don't worry about Imo, concentrate on Lagos.

Obiagelli:
Who are those contesting the apc ticket for imo?

APC has no place in Imo state. Imo is APGA /PDP state.

MRLINGTON:
Ion think there's anything stopping our governor our governor from entering Douglas house again..Ohakim nd Ihedioha are bin disqualified by their people..charity begins @home nd they already started failing...Roch as till I graduate from skul He remains Our Governor Our Governor nd we are He's People He's People...after Sam Mbakwe..Hes d best Imo has seen..Ohakim is more like Udenwa...ntn we see!!! not in favour of any party sha..i just said wah Iav seen nd know very well

Okorocha has declared to run for presidency.

abdulwastecx:
Design by Chinese
financed by Chinese
constructed by Chinese

In a country of 175million and a very high unemployment... I am still shock at the cost of thaf project, $850million for a 200km rail standard guage line ( $4.25million/km)

That's still less than what Tinubu and Fashola spends on a kilometer of road.

iterator24:
lets see if they'll buy bullet trains

Already, the Chinese said they will participate in the running of the rail system, so they will also buy the bullet trains. The most important thing is infrastructure which the best president in the History of Nigeria has provided.

Collynzo9:
Both of them have no chance.
Looks like you guys haven't realised how popular APGA is in Imo. Martin Agbaso of APGA won in 2007 before he was cheated out, they voted APGA again in 2011 and resisted all attempts to rig, APGA will again in 2015.

APGA /PDP any of them is ok for me.

Collynzo9:
What an absolute waste of time!
They are battling themselves over a seat that APGA has already won.

I don't have problem with APGA winning it. Anything that will stop APC from entering DOUGLAS HOUSE again is okay for me.

berem:
Since Rochas has vowed not to contest for a second term,he should be sure of loosing in the presidential primaries.

He has stolen Imo state to stupor and nothing left to steal again hence his decision to quit.

Have you been unleashed.

holatin:
let the best man win

Point of correction, let the better man win, because the contest of Imo governorship is who emerged between Ohakim and Ihedioha.

waternogetemeny:
Ihedioha is next in line for the House of Reps Chair, so why is he contesing for Gov?

I rather vote that Rochas than Ohakim. After 2019 vote Ihedioha. I dont believe in recycling leaders.

But Okorocha said he is contesting for presidency, or is he going to eat his vomit again?

Results of the November 29 primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State to elect the state House of Assembly candidates for the 2015 general election showed that over 90 per cent of the successful candidates are those either in the camp of the immediate past governor of the state and front runner in the current governorship race, Mr. Ikedi Ohakim or the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, who is also a frontrunner in the governorship race.
A breakdown of the results across the state shows that majority of those who emerged are either former aids of Ohakim or former appointees in his administration, who are still staunch members of his team and those in the camp of the deputy speaker.
The results expressed strong indications that the two contenders of the governorship seat did their home work well in terms of mobilisation of party faithful and their strength in the party.

Is the office of speaker jinxed? The occupants goes in a happy fellow and come out battered.

The Peoples Democratic Party has filed a fresh suit seeking an order compelling the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal, to declare himself as no longer fit to represent the Kebbe/Tambuwal Federal Constituency.

The suit is filed while the one instituted by Tambuwal seeking to stop his removal and declaration of his seat vacant on the account of his defection from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress is pending.

Tambuwal’s suit comes up for hearing on December 3.

Justice Ahmed Mohammed on Monday granted an ex parte application seeking leave by the PDP to commence its suit against Tambuwal.

The office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives; Tambuwal himself; and the Deputy Speaker, Mr. Emeka Ihedioha, are the respondents in the suit.

The court after granting the leave also ordered the plaintiff to put all the respondents on notice.

The court also directed that the court order and the motion on notice to be filed by the plaintiff should be served on the three respondents.

The PDP, in its fresh suit, maintained that by virtue of section 68(1)(g) of the Constitution, Tambuwal’s defection from the party, which sponsored his election to the House of Representatives, amounted to losing his seat.

The plaintiff contended that under section 68(2) of the Constitution, it was mandatory for Tambuwal, as Speaker of the House of Representatives, to declare as vacant the Kebbe/Tambuwal seat, whose occupant had defected from the party which sponsored him to the House.

They are also seeking an alternative order compelling the Deputy Speaker to declare the seat vacant in the event that Tambuwal fails to do so. The prayers being sought by the PDP in its suit filed on November 24 and marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/901/2014, read, “An order of mandamus compelling the 1st respondent (office of the Speaker) to give effect to the provisions of section 68(1) (g) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) by declaring the Kebbe/Tambuwal Federal Constituency seat vacant.

“An order of injunction restraining the 2nd respondent (Tambuwal) from performing or continuing to perform the function of the 1st respondent in the House of Representatives or sitting or continuing to sit in the House of Representatives as a member.

“In the alternative, an order of court compelling the 3rd respondent (Deputy Speaker, Ihedioha) to declare the Kebbe/Tambuwal seat vacant by an order of mandamus in terms of relief (a) supra.”

While moving the ex parte application seeking the court’s leave to commence the suit on Monday, the PDP’s lawyer, Chief Mike Ahamba (SAN), said section 68(1) (g) of the Constitution was not “self-implementing.”

But he added that the provisions must be given its effect by virtue of provision of section 62(2) of the Constitution by compelling Tambuwal to declare the Kebbe/Tambuwal seat vacant.

The matter was adjourned till December 12.

Meanwhile, Tambuwal has petitioned the Chief Judge of the Federal High Court, seeking protection in a fresh suit filed against him by a member of the House, Mr. Abidun Akinlade.

The suit, NO. FHC/ABJ/CS/871/2014, has Tambuwal, the Independent National Electoral Commission and the Federal Government, as respondents.

According to Tambuwal, the suit was assigned to Justice E.S.J. Chukwu of Court 8.

In the suit, Akinlade, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State, is seeking a “judicial interpretation” of an earlier judgment of the same court, where it held that there was no division in the PDP.

The aim of the fresh suit is to justify the PDP’s stance that the defection of Tambuwal from the PDP to the All Progressives Congress on October 28, was “illegal” and in breach of Section 68(1)(g) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

But in Tambuwal’s petition, dated November 30, he said he had no confidence in Chukwu to treat the case without “bias”, having given a judgment in 2013 that there was no division in the PDP.

Caseless:
Phockphockman, get out of this thread.

nduchucks:
Tabuwal has no legal leg to stand on here.

It's like a traffic violator asking for a judge to be removed because the judge had ruled on Running the red light in the past.

Those of you who know what a functioning traffic light is, will understand.

Who hacked nduchucks account? Because, I've never seen him talk truthfully like this.

baLLoTBOxX:
but yet you moved the one favouring PDP. I remember the OAU incidence where you/your mods moved about 4 threads filled with lies about the true incidence, when they had close to 3 threads showing pictures and video of the incidence. I strongly believe your site is fast losing its unbiased self. I wonder why you would make Someone like ngwakwe a mod, someone who is clearly partisan.

Cry no more my baby.

Seun:
Both news articles - the one here and the one presenting the same story a different way - have the noxious stench of propaganda.

This is the end the matter. This thread should be given a permanent bedroom in Politics section. Putting this to front page translate to DOUBLE POST.

NgeneUkwenu:
It seems the mods no longer move threads created by progressives to the front page!

Almost all threads there are created by Ishilove, Ceo4eva, phockphockman, Sunnybobo3 and other yeye handles here! I maybe wrong though!

So my handle is what you called yeye, apologize to me before I pounce on you.

I mean it.

Empero1:
Obviously , almost all of you above did not know the full meaning of this said court order . For one , the speaker is not yet removed from his seat , no ,and no court in the land has the power to do so because of his defection from one political party to another . The level of his popularity among his colleagues is the only thing that will always determine his fate . The court only asked him to vacate the seat on his own volition and principle ( which I am certain he's not ready to yield to ) , else his former party the PDP can decide to initiate moves to impeach him through the instrumental of 2/3 of the house members as stipulated in the constitution .

Now , the problem is that , it will be a herculean task for the PDP to secure support of 2/3 of the members of the house of representative to impeach him citing the current political atmosphere and the level of his popularity among his colleagues . Clearly , he will serve his tenure till the end of this regime , I can bet any of my valuables for this .

The constitution stance of how primus inter pares of any arm of the the house of assembles should emerged is very clear . It is he/she who secures majority votes from the members of the house that do emerge victorious as the primus inter pares , not necessary a member from the dominant political party in the house . In summary , his popularity and acceptability among his colleagues is what will keep saving him till the end .

If only you know the injury this will cause his gubernatorial ambition. He who can send you out of a seat can also make you never to be able to seat again.
