we really need the social media bill

macfarland:
"They fixed re-run elections for 6th of February with hope that Supreme court will send me away on 27th of January, they have perfected plan to arrest me on Wednesday 28th of January just to demoralise PDP members in rivers state so that they will be able to use federal might to win all senate, house of reps and state house of assembly seats in favour of APC. But when Supreme Court upheld my election, they felt disappointed and INEC shifted rerun elections. I called INEC chairman in Abuja that why did you shift the rerun elections, Professor Mahmud was only stammering with a filmsy excuse. I challenged him that Rivers people are ready and that he should let election take place as planned. That is to further tell you their calculated plan on Rivers State, but God disappointed them".

na wa. but the rivers state pdp lamented that the time given was too short.just days before the earlier scheduled February 6 elections. you can never please politicians.

we really need the social media bill

PRYCE:

Gej's was just one unit in ogbia where APC scored 0 not the ENTIRE Ogbia result...that of brass was a collation of ALL the UNITS in brass where PDP scored 5....
how are they the same?? haba...smh

pdp scored over 6000 votes in all the units of brass lga.apc scored over 21000. this was stated by inec @ the collation centre yesterday. lies are totally different from propaganda. you can confirm from inec website.

even if he did prostrate what's the need telling us if not to injure a man's pride and resurrect an already settled matter. bloggers are unhappy the beef was short-lived.

jusRadical:
This is no good news.

Gej (the supposedly corrupt president and the cause of all problems in Nigeria) made it N87 when the price of crude oil came down to around $67 per barrel. Now crude oil is around $35 per barrel and and pmb (the apc's messiah, saint, saviour, 'god', etc) is talking of N85 per lit of pms (if the info is true) and some people are rejoicing.


I am sorry for this company. oh sorry, country.

with goodluck it was 87 with subsidy. with Buhari it will be 85 without subsidy. hope that helps

is fayose supposed to make that announcement or ekiti state independent electoral commission?

if the federal government did not use it's might to rig the 6 local governments Dickson won. why will it suddenly want to rig just a single local government. elections will be held on a future date. a winner will emerge and results will be declared and nothing will happen. just curious if only app perpetrated violence, who attacked sen. lokpobiri's home with guns on Saturday?

if soldiers sent to maintain peace gun down a political thug during exchange of gunfire.the political parties will cry they are killing our members and agents.

the saddest part is after these deaths, acrimony between supporters, Sylva may still decamp to the pdp or Dickson may decamp to the apc in the future.

but the youths of this country will never learn.

Point of correction,caption should read
"Lady shot dead by Sheik Buhari's soldiers for burial".
Thanks.

may God not let this fate befall us. the truth is when people declare war on a country, there will be collateral damage in the battle. those who beat the drums of war should be ready to dance the dance. it is a pity. but there are more civil way to achieve a biafra if the igbos truly want. Gandhi didn't need violent protest to liberate India. even more recently scotland. for those who may say the protest was peace, it is a blatant lie as confirmed by nwazuruike. I sincerely hope we have learnt something from violent protests. may God keeps.
may God grant her rest

Good for you. what do you expect from people who are given to change? Change of course.I have no regret,cos l can not be cowed in this age of the wise. I never voted for them.

I thought the pdp was calling the shots in the senate.(saraki supporters club). so y blame apc now. I guess this bill is one of the dividend of an independent senate. just a thought.

it took 3days for bayelsa presidential results to come in during jega and Jonathan. or is fayose confirming that the presidential election was rigged in bayelsa? it is the terrain. but obviously the governor is shallow. the elections of Southern ijaw will be held. whoever wins will be announced whoever wants to take laws into their hands will be met with the full weight of the law. they can become martyrs of democracy on behalf of politicians it's their choice.

RIP. to the dead. apart from been a party agent. what is his name. which unit was he monitoring? what was his occupation? the pdp keeps painting the apc as using violence to intimidate bayelsans. just asking which thugs attacked the home of sen. lokpobiri on Saturday. holding him hostage with heavy shooting. are they saying apc members were attacking themselves? lesson. only FOOLS protect votes with their lifes.

@op Amina ibrahim is Gombe and not kaduna. That was cleared yesterday at the senate committee on petitions by her.

TonyeBarcanista:
That the card reader captured 290k voters doesn't translate to ONLY '290k' voters were accredited. I'm well aware that majority of electorates voted without card reader due to mal-function of the reader. There is NO section within the Electoral act that nullifies voting without the reader. The petitioners are yet to prove their allegation of electoral malpractice. It will boil down to forensic analysis and checks whether the votes were inflated or not. IF inflated, the tribunal will CANCEL the identified inflated votes and examine whether a re-run in the affected areas will be able to affect the result. I make BOLD to state that the APC petition is DEAD on arrival and an exercise in futility

ìt means 290k was accreditted. This includes successful and failed.like she mentioned and u ignored. It also means only 290k inec voter cards were brought to the the various polling units.and those were read. In any case inec had said unlike the presidential election,the card readers would be used for the governorship election without reverting to manual at anytime.

most newspapers just write trash now. Everybody quoting a reliable source.

jamesharryson:
Please tell me what evidence are these people talking about. The case of him alone doing most works in lagos state is it not enough for him to be invited for queries? His actions as the governor of lagos state are they not enough to invite him for queries? If it was a poor fellow, his house would have been overtaken by the almighty toothless EFCC

if the pdp had evidence. Tinubu had no immunity for 8years. Why did the pdp federal led government and their efcc not bring hìm to justice? Did they just stumble on the facts after 8years? It ìs just cheap blackmail by pdp. Election is over

those who have evidence of corruption against Ameachi should gather same and submit to the efcc. If they refuse to act, use the court to compel them. I have not heard anyone say they have submitted a petition yet. The sss,efcc will screen ameachi before any appointment and if he is clean the Nays can go to ..... When the pdp was in power why did they not prosecute Ameachi accomplices? Or did he steal alone? Or the accomplices had ìmmunìty? Its not enough to mouth corruption without proof.

misleading headline. Doguwa did not mention tinubu. I do not understand the joy people derive in misleading others.

PROVACATEUR:
Oga stop interpreting nonsense for us, we all can read the tweet we are seeing here

ís that buhari tweet? He made the statement on live television. That tweet by sahara reporters is mîsleadíng. And the guy you just lambasted ìs absolutely right about what pmb actually saìd. I watched it live. He also said they now call hìm Babagoslow

lionduke:
The best way to go about it is for EFCC to invite Dansuki to explain what he knows about the said funds, charge to a court of competent jurisdiction and not to lay siege in his house.

they had a search warrant to search his house. For example if they hard invited him he wouldnt have come with those guns or dollars or even any incriminating documents. Search with a warrant is totally legal.

dogara can not dictate to the APC loyal lawmakers who to normintate as a majority leader. When they talk of federal character. Why will the 2 leaders of the National Assembly be from the north? Saraki and Dogara. 39 Apc lawmakers cannot dictate to the 174 loyal Apc lawmakers. Its not done.how ever one try to paint it.

thats an empty response. All emotion and no substance. If the senate actually amended their rules then he should simply just tell the world when it was done. Ike at plenary replied Marafa that the senate amended its standing rule. Pdp said the clerk did. Somebody is definitely lying. He should answer the invitation.

chicken heart. Why didnt he mention it at the NEC meeting? Anyways. Supremacy rests with the people who entrusted it to a political party to run a country on their behalf.the people voted Apc on the ballot not lawan or dogara or saraki. So if the project fails Apc will be held accountable not dogara or lawan or even tinubu who can pitch tent elsewhere. The people handed that supremacy to the parties. Dogara has no valid arguement.

after a month did metuh just remember? Metuh should also be asked what makes a committee juicy. And which are the juicy committees? Atleast femi and lawan did not promise to trade off the deputy senate president position.

doctokwus:
I don't see this ending without crisis of its own.
How can a fmr senate president, David Mark not automatically become d minority leader.
PDP is either being naive or somebody has just allocated to himself authority he hadn't to assign offices.
Let's see how this unfolds but I don't see d positions so allocated standing d test of time.

it was reported weeks ago that david mark turned down the minority leader position.and it was agreed James manager from delta should occupy it. Pdp is just acting a script.they already know their principal officers.

do we have to teach metuh everythìng? Who appointed zakari a inec national commissioner? It was jonathan. As a commissioner is she not in line to take over as a commissioner? Besides she is the most senior national commissioner.and it is temporary as she ìs due for retirement july 30.

just curious. Since it's only the president's letter that is read on the floor. Was the letter from the zonal causes written by the president? Lol. really why didn't saraki and dogara think of this excuse. Lol. Really lame excuse.

waley007:
The immediate past chairman of INEC,Prof Atahiru Jega has just been appointed as chairman of EFCC by the president. This would be with immediate effect.More to follow_sahara reporters

seriously you are not funny.

the same ozekhome who is the godson of tony anenih.and who also prosecuted the buhari had no certificate case in court only to withdraw after the elections.the same man who asked for amnesty for kidnappers last year. I didnt expect anything less from him. But i know y he is pained.
