How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals

AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.

Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.

The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.

In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.

He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.

Tinubu rules out alliance with CPC

Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”

Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.

The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.

“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”

Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”

Gilbert Chagoury are actually close to every past Ruler in Nigeria and it was only Obasanjo that didn't give them much breathing space perhaps Baba didn't like their ways and means or that they failed to play ball with Baba.

They have been here like forever but more prominent with Abacha and now Emilokan so much so they gave him a GCFR!

OOOKEWALE:
You people are fond of twisting history to suit yourselves. Chagouri is a business man like Dangote. Reasonable Businessmen are apolitical. They are not beclouded with emotions like the lots of you. They are "Any Government In Power". They understand that Its only about interests not personalities.

May be na chagouray dey feed NADECO Abacha secrets

Hehehe! The main issue is that they were all consumed by worser forms of all they fought for. All the NADECO democrat rhetorics where just farcade and charade.

Kukutente23:
Or maybe na Chagoury dey feed Abacha NADECO secrets

chukwutee:
Pity obi benefited so much from abacha appointment, so I’m surprised that people are still wondering why he’s always praising abacha! The same man that hanged the precious sons of south south and directed his henchmen to pour acids on their corpse.

In my opinion, the question would be what are/were the reasons for fighting? If it is for power just like the newspaper column just above your post, then expect to be worse cause it was never a genuine one.

Gotocourt:
The issues Nigeria is facing now is that power is in the bad guys hands 📌💯🤷🏿.

Kukutente23:
When you mean every past Nigeria ruler, is Jonathan among or not?

SadiqBabaSani:
No wonder the Pretending democrats are all behaving like Abacha

Hi

OOOKEWALE:
Nobody is defending Chagouri. It is obvious you people lacked the common sense to reason with your brain. Whatever the sentimentalization you may have, it does not change the way of the world. Your Principal moving with the same structure of corruption he so vilified in 2023 is also towing the same path of Chagouri. Chagouri allegedly funded Michel Aoun(former Lebanese president and a Christian) who was in a political alliance with Hezbollah, which the U.S. classifies as a terrorist organization. It is more of Business Relationship.

Get Educated.

Lukuluku69:
Was Jonathan amongst the past Ruler? If your answer is yes, then you have the answer to your question.

Kukutente23:
But that's a lie

Lukuluku69:
Whatever makes you sleep that night.

Obasanjo went in hard against them and they had to relocate to Benin Republic in 2006, go find out when they return and continue Business as usual.

They have been here since 1971. Gilbert Chagoury and his brother Ronald Chagoury. They only left briefly when they fell out with Obasanjo. They came back when he left and they have been here ever since....

So, whatever your opinion is, that is of no consequence.

Kukutente23:
Your opinion is also inconsequential and false as well
Rest

Lukuluku69:
Lol

You don't have to cry over that and if you are still I'm doubts as to their reach and influence, Wikipedia has an Article on Gilbert Chagoury and Ronald Chagoury involvements in Nigeria space since 1971.

Go give it a read.
