This is one smart governor that was able to see before hand,the selfish wicked political plans of Tinubu to hijack the finances of Ondo state via prodding him to decamp to ACN so he(Tinubu) would have a free hand to ra.pe the state treasury like he's doing in Lagos.

Smart guy

Mimiko: I Had No Pact with ACN

Ondo State Governor Olusegun Mimiko has dismissed allegations by the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) that he reneged on an agreement reached with leaders of ACN that he would quit Labour Party (LP) as soon as the court declared him winner of the April 14, 2007 governorship election.

In his first press interview since he assumed office as the governor of Ondo State in his office in Akure on Monday, Mimiko said he never had any agreement with anybody that he would switch over to ACN, saying such insinuations were only products of propaganda.
Mimiko who said he had since addressed key issues over the allegation, that he had deliberately opted to be silent over abuses poured on him by ACN leaders, saying he had opted to toe the path of honour by declining to respond to such abuses but rather to address issues generated by the development. “I have responded to key issues but I have not responded to abuses. I didn’t have any agreement with anybody to move to ACN,” the governor said.

ACN leaders had at a presidential campaign rally in Akure in February 2011, accused the governor of reneging on the agreement he had with them before his court victory in February 2009 that he would defect from Labour Party describing his action as a betrayal. But Mimiko who said he would never abuse anyone said at no time and place did he reach such an agreement with anybody.
Mimiko who recalled that since the advent of civil rule in 1999, he had moved from Alliance for Democracy (AD) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) before finally defecting to Labour Party (LP) prior to 2007 general election, stressed that in all the instances that he had changed parties, his reasons for leaving such parties had always been justifiable.

According to him, he left AD prior to the 2003 general election because it was obvious for all to see that internal democracy was dead in the party adding that he again left the PDP to contest the 2007 election on the platform of Labour Party because some perceived powerful elements in the party had shut the door against his governorship ambition and thrown the key into the water.

He added that before his eventual decision to switch over to Labour Party, his numerous admirers in the state had moved ahead of him, emphasising that there is no reason for him to leave the Labour Party now. He said even though it was his desire to see his party winning more states and securing more elective positions in the political landscape, yet he was comfortable governing on the platform of Labour Party.

Arsenal and spuds having a romantic affair in 4th and 5th position.

If the season still had about four games to go,then spuds or Liverpool might even fancy beating this present Arsenal squad to the fourth postion,in which case Arsenal would have finished the season either fith or sixth on the EPL log

I really pity the season ticket holders that had to put up with live poo performance.

The fans should start bringing anti Wenger and anti board banners and placards to the stadium and training ground.It's no mean feat to cough out 50 quid a week and get this kind of performance,heads gotta roll;under normal circumstances

If a prominent Nigerian writes and says negative stuff about America the way Campbell does Nigeria,he would not even be allowed to enter the American Embassy in Lagos,not to talk of an entry visa to the US

Campbell at a time,appeared to be IBB's pseudo-campaign manager,at most other times he appears as the doomsday prophet that was given a specific assignment to make prophecies of doom and inflamatory comments about Nigeria.I wonder what his aim is?how can a diplomat be so insensitive and stupid in his utterances about another sovereign nation

This indeed is a very good decision to deny him entry visa.

Commot dia jor which one be fairness and sportmanship? tell that to Andrew dunce Bynum when the overfed ogre was sticking an elbow in a defenseless midget halfway in the air. Fairness and sportsmanship will be extended to only those who deserve it

Yea I remember.That was a disgraceful move by Bynum,I think frustration just got the better of him and his team mates

Arsene Wenger has a day job with Eurosports,why wont he just do us all a huge favour and quit the Arsenal gaffer's job seeing the board would rather be content with an automatic CL place year in year out than sack AW

INEC should sanction CPC for flouting the codes of ethics of the 2011 elections

Gbawe:
My brother, how am I doing that on this occasion? The ACN caucus leader has announced the reasoning behind the stance of the Party as far as the office of Speaker is concerned. You are the one who chose not to believe him in pandering to vague articles written by faceless folks who may be merely articulating their personal opinions.

You do enjoy this sort of hide and seek,don't you?

Now switch places,let's assume your party,the ACN was the mainstream party with majority seats in the upper and lower chambers of the national assembly,you and I know that not anly the office of the speaker would've been a subject of zoning,but Tinubu would have outrightly imposed whoever he wished to be speaker on the other members,for good measure,he might even go ahead to impose the speakers' aides

Gbawe:
You say they lie about their real position. Do you have exhaustive proof of this ? If you don't then simply give ACN the benefit of the doubt by accepting the official explanation they give for the choices they have made .

Really,no no no,I mean like R-E-A-L-L-Y?
Please

^^^
Oh stop being mischievous Gbawe,must you always seek to rationalise the irrational,just because you must jump to Tinubu's defence.I did not condemn their position,it's the lie they're trying to sell to the public as the reason for their position is what I'm against.

In any case,politics is a game of numbers and interests,the Ahe opposition(including tCN and the other members of the jokers)will of course have their say,but PDP will have it's way

Proscribe CPC not NYSC – Omo-Omoruyi

Following the successful conduct of the 2011 general election in most parts of the country, Professor Omo Omoruyi is today a happy man. The former Director General of the Centre for Democratic Studies, CDS, spoke to Vanguard last week in Benin City and urged Nigerians to commend President Goodluck Jonathan for the successful polls.

He frowned at the killing of NYSC members in some parts of the North and called for the proscription of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, and not NYSC as being suggested by some Nigerians. He said Jonathan’s emergence as President was a dream come true for the minorities. He also spoke about his former boss, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), other national issues and Edo State politics. Excerpts:

With President Goodluck Jonathan’s emergence as President-elect, what do you expect from him now?

Jonathan now has a mandate and that mandate must be implemented to the fullest. He also has independent source of authority which is not dependent on the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, because many Nigerians voted for him and those who voted for him are looking forward to a restructured political order.

They are looking forward to a restricted moral order, a restructured social order. The young people in this country need employment. It is not just a promise, people want to see the jobs.

So what are they gonna do about it.It's not democracy anything,it's just a ploy by the ACN to frustrate any attempt to revive the PDP in the SW,it's more of a smart political calculation than a point for democracy

Maybe Arsene Wenger wants to set an unassailable record as the premiership coach to go ten years without winning a trophy.I seriously suspect he coulb be up to that.

Conclusion: Arsenal needs deliverance.

Yes,deliverance from the opinionatedness of Arsene Wenger

Who can stop wind with his bare hands from getting into his house

Anybody that thinks the die-hard northern hegemonists who believe that the presidency is their birthright will not attempt somthing stuupid has got to be the most naive.
However,I don't think it could be exactly as reporteed here,they will not achieve anything significant as the security agencies will clip their flailing wings

Congratulations AW for another empty season
The best transfer we will make in the summer might just be trading off Arsene Wenger and bringing in a manager that is ready to win trophies
