I have a dream that things would be done the right way and d culture of impunity would be done away with in this country .
In a saner clime, the president won't dare reappoint him not to talk of the senate rubber stamping him.
They're are all being self-centred, greedy nd corrupt. To them our voices do not count.
I pity this administration on its much touted fight against corruption, it's just making jokes of itself

Election can never be shifted or postponed - APC

Election was shifted - GEJ.

Obanikoro can never become a minister - APC senators.

Obanikoro is now a minister - Nigerian Senate.


In as much as I commend APC for mounting a serious campaign to change the current government, we must first of all understand that there is a current government.


Up there in the Senate, David Mark and Ike Ekweremadu still lead the pack.

Guess who they work for.

Disobey them and see how far you can get.



....
BTW

We haven't heard much from the people who matters in the Nigerian Government.
The likes of Anyim, Ekweremadu, Mark etc have been working underground while the noise making jobs (okupe, Fayose, Fani Kayode etc) were shifted to the South West were Buhari thought he would win.
It was specially and tactically designed to counter the media propaganda which has always originated from the south west. (South West own the media). Hatred, religious fanatism and stupidityy made it impossible for some of us to reason beyond what we see on the media outlets.

The real meaning of power is that if GEJ approach Seun Osewa and asks him to use nairaland as his campaign tool, Seun would suddenly be faced with two options; agree to GEJs request or face being banned. Now that's something APC has no power to achieve.

If you ever think GEJ is foolish or clueless, think again because you would be disappointed after the election.

APC are only good at making noise.That is how GEJ would be asked to take a bow and continue come March 28 or whatever day the eelctions are held
bros no mind dem, I said it here last week that koro will be confirmed and nothing will happen. Apc members are just a bunch of noise making entertainers ,no wonder gej doesn't bother responding to their,it is just a bloody waste of time arguing with them. The talk with their mouths more than they think with their brains .

This is beautiful. Absolutely wonderful! Wonderful news.

Congratulations on your appointment, you will live and last long in office to continue the works you have been doing.

Nigerians are clearly so intelligent and the wisest of all and it shows in the state of the country.

The schools are world class, as are the medical facilities, infrastructure unrivaled, finance sector of envy and so on and so forth.

The very reason why the likes of myself work hard to obtain a visa to enter the magnificent country!

I applaud you all. Well done!

In spite of fierce opposition from lawmakers of the All Progressives Congress (APC), the senate on Wednesday screened Musiliu Obanikoro for a ministerial position. He was asked to take the customary “bow” – a preferential treatment for former senators – effectively confirming him as a minister. A row had broken out at the senate over the screening. The first attempt last week had ended in chaos. Obanikoro, former minister of state for defence, resigned his position last year to seek the Lagos governorship ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but lost to Jimi Agbaje. His renomination by President Goodluck Jonathan was opposed by senators of the APC over his role in the use of soldiers alleged to have manipulated the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti state. Gbenga Ashafa, the senator representing Lagos east, had raised a point of order challenging the attempt to screen Obanikoro. Ashafa, who said Obanikoro has a pending case in court, brought out a copy of The Nation Newspaper to butress his point. He further said David Mark, president of the senate and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), were joined in the suit. But Mark ruled him out of order, saying the court is yet to serve him in that regard. “You don’t serve me on the pages of the newspaper. As far as I am concerned, there is no case in court, so I rule you out of order,” Mark said.

David Mark is an enemy of democracy

This is a big shame on this country. i await March 28th, to see if our youth have learnt anything new and ready for change.
its just a pity. undecided

David Mark can be called an enemy of conscience here but definitely not an enemy of democracy. Democracy says the rule of law must be followed. The rule of law says one is found guilty on a court order and not on news media. David Mark says I will follow what the rule of law says. It is quite clear, David mark here upheld democracy as it is defined in our constitution.

The day the nigerian people start to understand what democracy really is, that day our liberation begins.

The decision to have Obanikoro confirmed wasn't his to take alone! His statement that he would not preside over a chamber where the tradition that predated him would be destroyed despite popular opposition to it is anti-democratic.

The Nigerian way - the corrupt way. APC Senators are part of the game even though they try to wear the yoga of righteousness. I find it hard to trust Nigerian politicians (irrespective of their leaning). Everyone of them seems to be in the political game for pecuniary reason - You grab your own, I grab my own.

The Nigerian Senate on Wednesday confirmed Musiliu Obanikoro as a federal minister, appointed by President Goodluck Jonathan, brushing aside allegations that Mr. Obanikoro played a key role in election fraud in Ekiti State.

Mr. Obanikoro was named recently in a leaked tape as a principal actor in the state’s governorship election rigging in 2014, sparking national outrage.

The Nigerian government has refused to investigate the claims.

The Senate approved Mr. Obanikoro’s nomination as a minister, Wednesday, after repeated deferments, despite protests from senators from Lagos State, Mr. Obanikoro’s home state, and other opposition All Progressives Congress, APC, who had vowed to stop the clearance over the Ekiti scandal.

As a former senator himself, the Senate allowed Mr. Obanikoro to “take a bow and go”, without answering questions, a privilege reserved for former federal lawmakers.

APC lawmakers responded by walking out of the session in protest.
