These planless Apc folks trying very hard to blame their ineptitude on the past government, can someone tell this people that Nigerians are tired of their gimmicks.
Whose permission does the finance minister need to spend, did she spend it on herself or on the nation.


Everyone can see this people have nothing new to offer except Blaming the previous government for any and every thing.

do you seriously want an answer to your question? She needs an appropriation bill and the approval of the national assembly. Its not all about apc and pdp.sometimes think nigeria. Its 2.1 billion dollars of nigeria money unaccounted for.

metuh dared buhari to tackle corruption and not talk alone. But he is subtling scared by crying witch hunt and politicizing the fight even when it hasnt started. He is already laying the foundation for shouting witch hunt.by alleging some imaginary people in the administration are corrupt. Does the appointment of political appointees equal good governance? Metuh's priorities clearly explains why pdp recked nigeria especially in the last 7years. buhari was not elected president for 30days but 4year

lies lies lies. It was this same newspaper that reported the 8 governors went to that meeting to request Oyegun to resign. Today they are reporting they went to impose a list. Vanguard newspaper got this one wrong.

that of pally frm edo state.pls get ur facts b4 u spill shit.

mr. Scholar the senate caucus ìs dìfferent from the HOR caucus. Alimekhena is the only Apc senator in the south south. Pally represents owan federal constituency. Common sense. Do you expect a representative member to norminate a senator? Talk of facts. If you are not enlightened enough you ask questions or read and observe comments. Just my take.

saraki said the south south caucus of the Apc norminated Alìmekhena as deputy whip. Lol. Alimekhena is the only Apc senator from the south south. I never knew a sìngle person could become a caucus.

that statement after a meeting with the president clearly amplify what the president thinks. It is the party which writes the SP stating its choices for the various positions. It is a norm. Even among Apc senators saraki group does not enjoy a majority.so it is a loose loose for saraki if he decides to fight on. Let us not be hypocritical. On this one Apc leadership is right. Saraki is just stalling he knows the truth.

when people say Apc leadership should stay clear they amaze me. Is Saraki going to pick the minority leader etc for pdp?NO. does his group enjoy majority within the Apc caucus?NO. The positions of majority leader,minority leader etc are party positions within the assembly. His job is to read the letter sent by the national secretariat. You cannot be a majority leader or minority leader without the party approval. Its the norm anywhere in the world. He knows he has been boxed to a corner. He is just stalling.

Johnrake69:
The leadership of the Apc still don't understand how house politics is played. Once your on the loosing side you will remain there till the end of that dispensation. Giving directives to the speaker on who to make a principal officer will never fly. Those principal positions is the only way the speaker can reward his inner caucus in the house that fought for the victory.

it is not the duty of the speaker to appoint principal officers.they are party positions.the party writes the speaker. For example the pdp will write the speaker in the case of minority leader etc. Thats why akande was house leader after loosing to tambuwal. Tambuwal had no choice. They are party positions. And sarakì and dogara do not even enjoy majority among Apc legislators. They dont have a choice.

[quote author=byrron post=34609456]Prof can lie:
He said, “The bulk of the APC senators were having a meeting with the President and in their absence, PDP senators and Senator Saraki’s supporters in the APC went to the chambers and started the proceedings and nominated Saraki unopposed as President of the Senate.


The Truth:
Early yesterday morning the APC, apparently aiming to undercut the agreement reached between the Saraki/Dogara groups and the PDP, summoned a meeting with all senators-elect and members-elect using the name of the president, Muhammadu Buhari who had just returned from his outing at the G7 summit in Germany.

To give vent to the meeting, security was tightened around the National Assembly complex and senators-elect and members-elect were initially refused entry. However, supporters of Saraki and Dogara were quick to dismiss the meeting as they alleged that the president did not summon the meeting as they accused the party leadership of using the name of the president.

Meanwhile, word of the development in the National Assembly reached the ICC, forcing a break-up of the meeting as APC senators-elect waiting for the president started dashing back to the National Assembly.

ANOTHER LIE FROM PROF:
“It was an attempted coup in the first arm of government in Nigeria and it is a very serious assault on democracy in this country and if I was the President, I would refuse to recognize the result of such an illegal exercise and insist that a proper Senate is convened to elect its officials.”

The Truth:
security was tightened around the National Assembly complex and senators-elect and members-elect were initially refused entry (on whose oder? Tinubu's order i guess as the senior prefect of Nigeria).

Tinubu and co should be held responsible for disenfranchising its members from voting at the NHA floor where they were meant to be as elected senators of the FRN and not as errand boys to tinubu that can be summoned at any time of the day by fraudulently using the name of Mr President to achieve his own ulterior motives.
Tinubu and co deceived the APC elected senators by lying to them that Buhari was going to have a meeting with them which apparently turned out to be false,apparently aiming to undercut the agreement reached between the Saraki/Dogara groups and the PDP.

if the president didnt call the meeting why were the leaders waiting? The S.S.A on media this morning said PMB called that meeting Saraki boycotted. So please be guided

liars. Shehu Garba the spokesman of mr. President confirmed this morning that PMB called the meeting.and was furious that Saraki and his group dìsregarded the invitation to attend while other loyal members attended. He also clarified that PMB didnt come when he was hinted about the development at the national assembly which rendered the meeting pointless. This was Garba this morning on sunrise on channels. Unless you say Garba is telling lies against the president.Stop spreading lies. Tìnubu is not the problem of pdp. Bad governance ìs.

sheddybest:
Mark is the SENATE Leader NOT the MAJORITY Leader. Please note the difference

really? There is a position for minority leader,and minority whip.but no position for majority leader and majority whip. Even in America the senate leader is from the major party in the house and it is a caucus decision. Just curious pdp will also take minority leader. Lol. U get the logic now?

is everything about tinubu? Has anyone stopped to think what saraki may have traded to get the support of people like orji,akpabio,egwu etc. What is this obssession with tinubu? If nigerians voted 4 change and because of a single person's ambition the natìonal assembly is still been controlled by the same cabal should we not be worrìed? Or you think pdp supported dogara just to spite Apc for fun? The issues at stake far out weighs tinubu. Its about total change.not cosmetic change. we have only nigeria. Pdp at both arms failed nigeria for 16years. We should not cut our nose to spite our face. Tinubu is not the problem of nigeria pdp is

it is only people who are naive think the Apc has no other cards to play. There is the card of blackmail.not against the saraki and dogara alone but against their supporters. It is not a good tool but those who play wìth s..t should not complain against fly. There are examples okadigbo,wabara,enwerem etc. Saraki and dogara cannot fight the party.to go into alliance with the same people who the populace rejected is unacceptable. Let no one deceive you. Buhari from the tone of that statement is not amused.

as senate majority leader which majority will he be leading?lol. Pdp. Always giving us something to talk about. Maybe apc will produce the minority leader. Pdp and impunity are synonymous.

zubby29:
d drama starts.i forsee apc loosin kwara,zanfara and kano

in which election?

ìf 57 out of 108 endorsed saraki. Would 51 at a meeting changed anything? Enough of these buhari called a meeting.

there is noting as bad as trying to reason with a half educated man. Buhari is supposed to release ministerial list when the senate that will approve has not been inaugurated. Buhari is supposed to solve power problem pdp dropped to less than 2000mw, buhari is supposed to undo what pdp did in 16yrs in a week. Its no point trading words with people who tink lik this.

metuh wants the Apc to trade the 4 states as compensation for accepting defeat. Impossible! Metuh is clever by half. Tribunal cases are won at the tribunal and not on the pages of newspapers. Pdp should start putting their defence together and not heat the system and threatening nigerians with truncating democracy.

always looking for a scape goat. Those who turned the north against jonathan.are blaming muazu. Even gov. Aliyu and lamido who lost their states are blaming muazu. Even yuguda and bala from bauchi as muazu. Will blame the chairman. Even jonathan who didnt govern for 6years will blame muazu. Pdp

pdp never ceases to amaze me. Joda has met with sambo twice, lai mohammed agreed with this fact when he said the buhari team were told hand over note will be a week before hand over.leaving no time to study the notes. Why will a ceremony(inauguration) committee be meeting everyday and a more serious handover(transition) committee meet once in 2weeks. Buhari said he would tackle boko haram in 2months when he would have finally assumed office in that march interview. Can't metuh understand English? It is good metuh mentioned amanpour as source for the boko haram statement. When and where did buhari say he would make the naira equal to the dollar? Metuh said Buhari has started breaking his promises. The truth is pdp wants and are sinking the country not minding the effect on nigerians because they feel they have nothing else to loose. Dropping electricity to 2,800mw, increasing overhead bills with the employment of extra hands in an economy in crisis already where it is difficult to pay salary as it is. They will pay for their indiscretions. And when the time comes they should not cry witch hunting.

my kid sister just saw the transformation and asked if she bathed with Hypo

i don't blame fayose. I blame the people of Ekiti. If it is reported in the international media it will read "the governor of a nigerian state",

EUROBOMBER:
With the way things are going it is looking like Nigeria belongs to the North especially now that they were able to seize power from Jonathan this year as they boasted earlier.

Imagine planning to install another Hausa/fulani as Senate majority leader to work with Buhari also from the core north.

who is to blame? The SE and the SS didnt return a single ranking senator back.on the platform of Apc. There is nothing fishy in the sharing. The Apc is making do with what they have,

karma, what goes around comes around. When he sponsored the chicken impeachment little did he know he would be paid back in his own coin. Ì love this news

Why are you not worried about ND wealth in the hands of the northerners and westerners?

those in the hands of my people how have they used it to better our lot?

obailala:
A lot of Niger-Deltan's and GEJ supporters make a huge mistake by assuming that a probe or search for any missing $20bn automatically means an attack against GEJ or Niger-Delta.

What these people fail to realise is that the oil cabal members responsible for these thefts are mainly from outside the Niger Delta and if these monies are recovered, the ND will still get the largest portion of the funds. Sometimes I just wonder how an entire region filled with educated and enlightened people can just be so myopic.

please dont judge the region wìth the myopic comments of a few ígnorant people,ít ìs like equatìng boko haram and extremist wìth islam, the millitants and the ND offìcìals are only loyal to their stomach and their greed. Ì am a niger deltan and we know them
