Howmanage: if what i read here are true sentiments on the ground, then collectively Yorubas are ingrates who are being gleefully escorted by other Nigerians on a march to extinction.

caseless: I'm cretinous imp!

caseless: What a gagarntuan piece from an intelectually rich nigerian!!
All these pdp-tilted journalists who are intelectually arid but take delight in hatchet job at the progressives are getting their share advalorem. The milieu of progressives is guaged with like minds who are equipped to raze down asinines like aribisala and momodu down in proportionality. These intemperate numskulls who are given token to write their crass piece about our progressive leader will be swept into the hypabyssal soon as our political orogenesis begins.
And as for their lobster-like e-worriors like phockphockman, sincere9igerian, and others...u've enjoyed our fluffy altruism for too long. Just be on the lookout for our invasion.
Well to the APC , the hub of mental magnitude and supracrustal consangnuity.

egift: Na today. Chief Tom Ikimi, like any other Nigerian is free to make that choice. APC thank him for his efforts towards the party and the Nation, and wish him well he decide to move on. But the quest redeem Nigeria from the claws of the killer party will not end. God bless Nigeria.

APC...Nigeria...Progress!!!

sopoundz: haha sorry 2 b disappointed... The clueless man is naw making u yu guys run helter skelter...

VICTORCIZA: it's obvious you sold your shame!!!

phlemzy: They are assembled in Nigeria.

A Lagos-based lawyer and activist, Mr. Fred Agbaje, has said that the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is no longer relevant in the South-West politics.

He said if Tinubu were still relevant to the people of the region, APC would not have lost the Ekiti State governorship election to the opposition.

Agbaje said the era of taking voters for granted and imposing candidates on them had gone and that if care was not taken, the APC would also lose to the opposition in its controlled states in the region.

In an interview with our correspondent on Thursday, the legal practitioner said, “With the revelation coming from the South-West, the people are saying they are tired of one man dictating the affairs of an entire region.

“People are not fooled anymore in this part of the country. They are no longer blind. Tinubu is like an iroko tree which cannot make a forest. People can no longer accept one person dictating the political and economic fortunes of this region.

“Nigerians need genuine leaders who place the interests of the people above their personal aggrandisement, especially in the aspect of parties imposing candidates on the electorate.”

Agbaje added that the Ekiti election also proved that the power of incumbency was no longer an issue to be reckoned with in Nigerian politics.

He said, “This also shows that the President could not be sure of re-election in 2015 if he does not meet up with people’s expectations. Incumbency is nothing when the people’s will is strong.”

But Tinubu’s spokesperson, Sunday Dare, said it was not possible that the loss of Ekiti State governorship election to the Peoples Democratic Party could decide the political relevance of the APC chieftain.

“It is illogical,” he said.

Dare said the APC leader became a champion when the PDP lost governorship seats in five states to it, adding that the loss of one state meant nothing to the party.

He said, “Do not forget that this is a democratic dispensation; the will of the people must be respected. Tinubu has repeatedly said that as long as elections are free and fair, there is no need to fight.”

Dare, however, said President Goodluck Jonathan and the Independent National Electoral Commission had questions to answer over the Ekiti State governorship election held two weeks ago.

He said, “There are still many issues arising from the Ekiti State election. Why did the President victimise the opposition leaders? What role did INEC play in the election that gave a win to PDP?

“These and many other questions need to be answered before we can say APC lost in Ekiti.”

Likewise, the spokesperson for the All Progressives Congress, Lai Mohammed, also said the loss of Ekiti to PDP had no scientific background to prove that Tinubu had become an irrelevant politician in the South-West.

He said, “When elections like this come, many political scientists arise and say lots of things that are irrelevant.

“It is not true that Tinubu is no longer relevant. Ekiti election had nothing to do with him.”

berem: Declare Okorocha's seat vacant? That's laughable and impossible! If anyone's seat has to be declared vacant,it should be the presidential seat in Aso Rock.

waternogetenemy: Anioma has oil like Anambra that was neglected by the Federal Government. omg! Ndiigbo have suffered.

They should carve Anioma out of Delta State ASAP, whether it will be south south or south east does not matter.

Dont know how much oil but it is said to be abundant oil deposits.

Acidosis: Yes my friend. Its called Population density. Would you say because Lagos is over-populated, they deserve new states?

You should have asked for population figures


For your mind now, you and your "likers" don outsmart me.

rozayx5: wow nice, seun or mods can you put this on frontpage
also thanks to Akpabio for giving us constant light from Ibom power plant here in Eket

fkaz: If you talk of population,
5 more state should be created out of lagos state
4 more state should be created out of kano state
3 more state should be created out of rivers state
3 more state should be created out of oyo state etc

The igbos agenda for this national conference is not reliable, No geo-politoical zone will agree to create a state for south east out of pity without considering themself also and that will make the whole thing look stupid. The condition for creating a state is in nigeria constitution, if any group of people meet the condition let them create it. But is state creation the problem of this country?

berem: Na today? Jonathan does not have the complete balls to make Nyako be impeached. Lai lai!

Acidosis: North Central needs more states. Kogi state specifically; On travelling by road from Egbe in Kogi state to Ayangba in the same Kogi state, travellers spend over 7hours by road (without traffic jam)!!!

Very funny country, creating useless states without specification. The entire Bayelsa state is not even up to 6 local governments of the total 21 l.gs in Kogi state.

Of the 23 solid minerals in Nigeria, Kogi has 19!!! Yet no meaningful development. Lokoja is the first unofficial capital of Nigeria, yet no meaningful F.G project in the city town.
We can no longer take this nonsense.

Create Okun state now!!! For the Yoruba citizens of Kogi state!!!

If you create 10 states, Okun state must be included; if its 1, then it must be Okun state!!! Enough is Enough.
