I don't know why some people r crying more than d bereaved.......wike and dakuku are from river state and I don't see why people who r not from river state crying about river politics.....if the election is found to be faulty and conducted against d electoral act, the tribunal is empowered to decide........anybody here who is not happy can assist wike or dakuku in funding d case in appeal court instead of the unnecessary noisemaking and a raw display of ignorance online

Nyson Wike would have won the election landslide under an atmosphere of free and fair but he deliberately wants to punish APC because his party was in power. A lot of APC members was killed by thugs because of hatred.
Justice shall prevail

He made a very huge mistake,he should have won without stress

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.

APC without sense, why would you bring in the Army to testify to a civil case? The police where the ones deployed to provide security and in same line there is always a police report which the officers return to the senior police officers, And there is an incident form usually signed by all the party representatives present on that day including the police orderly posted to that unit that is the only report that can be recognised by the court of law.

[quote author=MichaelSokoto post=37888760]ABUJA—The Nigerian Army, yesterday, narrated before the Rivers State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, how armed thugs invaded several polling units in the state on April 11, carting away election materials and ran into the bush.

Three senior Army officers who testified before the Justice Mohammed Ambrosa-led tribunal, yesterday, insisted that the governorship poll in Rivers State was marred by violence and sporadic gun shots by thugs, a situation they said scared voters away.

The officers, Captain Abubakar Mohammed, from Bony Camp, Lagos; Captain Fred Bala, from Maiduguri and Captain Isa Almakura, told the tribunal that they led different troops that were deployed in Rivers State during the governorship election.

Capt. Almakura, who covered Ikwerri Local Government Area, along with 30 other soldiers, told the court that the entire council was tensed up right from April 10 when his team arrived the area to provide security for voters.

He said that sporadic shootings in major towns of the council scared the electorates and forced them to stay away from voting.
According to him, at a time, his team got confused by the “bombardment of phone calls” from ad-hoc staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, who, he said were shouting for help and rescue from thugs that invaded their polling units.

“On our arrival at polling units in Osuala, Onuerelu, Omerelu and Alu, we found the INEC ad hoc staff, mainly youth corps members, mercilessly beaten by the thugs”, the Army witness added.

He said upon inquiry, his team was informed by the manhandled INEC ad hoc staff that the political thugs hijacked and made away with all the election materials.

The soldiers are unwilling to say the complete truth because some of their superiors will be implicated. We all know how it went down in Rivers. The complicity of the security agencies was glaring.

I know Wike would still have won but not by that margin. A lot of people died in the hands of PDP thugs and no arrest was made by the police. Yet some mischievous characters would stùpidly say GEJ was not desperate. What a joke.

The same Army that was beating Boko Haram mercilessly at that time could not apprehend untrained thugs. There was no result sheet at any of the poling units so that rigging would be perfected at the INEC office.

The nigeria army is a branch of the executive and the take instructions from the president. That was why gej asked them to lie that pmbs certificate is not with them. Immediately gej left the missing certificate was found in the army files. Waillers should keep quiet and allow the tribunal examine all evidence with a view to ensuring justice. If I were the tribunal wike should be punished for all the attrocities committed and apc rewarded with a viictory. One wonders how a man with dubious nature like wike should be allowed to rule

one thing u don't know is that if Jonathan have his way he would still do it to remain in power but Northern part of Nigerian was too hot for him hence there was nothing he could do than to let go. Who doesn't know that Jonathan rigged election in d south south and south east. U guys are always blinded when ever d truth unveil

Chukwumumu, shepopotamus (mama Piss who was suppose to be beside her husband on election day in Otuoke was in Ph this very day) who was in charge of their deployment ordered them to do nothing and allowed the thugs to have a free day since their activity will favour wike, his god son to win.

This is the truth that the pdp and the wailing wailers refuse to agree with, everyone knew that rivers belong to pdp but wike and his thugs never understood the laws of power, I tell people that the Lagos Gubernatorial elections would have assumed the dimension of the rivers election if the ruling APC in Lagos state had approached it the way the rivers pdp did considering how tight the race btw ambode and agabje was.
