I take my time to read over the crooked appellate pronounced majority judgement that affirmed Oyetola as Governor of Osun

What you people don't know is more than what you know in the legal processes or proceedings.

The battle just began.

Personally, I have been prepared for the upturned of the tribunal judgement at appellate court for the fact that, the present President of Appellate court is Tinubu stooge while her husband is just elected member of senate in Bauchi under the APC as a party and the game ended up with $2M bribe which the civil societies has petitioned. Let just wait and see how the game goes.

It was Nigeria of yesterday you can overrides on peoples will not this present time.

We all belonged to this country and have choice to our preferences. Therefore, No one can blame you for celebration of daylight robbery and stolen mandate which is the hope for common men in Osun, as will be retrieve back at the apex court.

The case is a win-win matter. Now, the battle just started.

But, if the appellate majority technical judgement that nullified the peoples mandate over the absent of Justice Obiorah who only absent in the court for a day out of the 6 months used to heard the case and when only 2 witnesses of APC presented to court out of the 22 witnesses of the so-called APC party can be used as a yardstick to nullified the tribunal judgement.

Or, we shall all know if the processes of judiciary is a continuous process or not? Because we don't know that if it's stated in the judiciary processes that once a judge is absent or relief or on official leave of office over an ongoing case as automatically truncated that case or what?

All the above will be heard in the Supreme Court.

The supreme court is there to take final verdicts and vindicate the true winner of the election, which I believed will upturn the appellate majority technicality judgement to the rightful owner of the mandate who is Sen. Ademola Adeleke.

If APC thinking is that the worse that will come is to have fresh election or rerun is a day dreams.

Therefore, here is the time we shall all know, if we truly have constitution that has veto over the edicts or acts of any government agencies in this country or not?

Today's majority judgement is based on the electoral laws implementations which used to overrode the Nigeria constitution.

Whoever celebrating today's majority judgements of the appellate court is beckoning of childish and comedic games, as the electoral acts can never superimposed the Nigeria constitution.

Victory for Sen. Ademola Adeleke retrieval of stolen mandate is certain at the apex court.

Over $900 million found in secret non-TSA accounts — Rep panel

May 10, 2019

QueenEsther Iroanusi

The House of Representatives said it discovered that over $900m was still “being held” by Federal Government’s ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) outside Treasury Single Account (TSA).

It accused the MDAs of failing to follow the TSA policy, leading to revenue leakages.

The House made the revelation while adopting the report with 20 recommendations by the Ad Hoc Committee on the Need to Ascertain the Proceeds of the TSA to Enhance Transparency, Accountability and Good Governance.

It accused the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, the Nigerian Ports Authority, the Federal Inland Revenue Service, the Nigeria Customs Service as well as other ministries and banks of various infractions.

The House asked the Ministry of Finance, the Office of the Accountant-General of the Federation and the Central Bank of Nigeria should intensify efforts to enforce full implementation and compliance with the TSA policy by all the MDAs.

It also wants the MDAs who had violated the TSA policy to be sanctioned accordingly.

Sanction and prosecute offenders

The lawmakers ordered that the Ministry of Finance and OAGF “should be directed to publish, sanction/prosecute with immediate effect all MDAs, private persons, private organisations as well as banks, where FGN funds are hidden based on the discoveries made in the report of the consultants engaged by the OAGF and review the compliance with the TSA.”

They said applications for exemptions/waivers must follow the guidelines on TSA implementation and duly approved and signed by the president only.

Presenting the report, the chairman of the committee, Danduram Abubakar, said during the investigations, overwhelming discoveries were made.

According to him, it was observed that funds belonging to the federal government to the tune of billions of naira and hundreds of millions of dollars were operated outside the TSA by the MDAs in collaboration with the banks.

Summary of Appeal Court judgement:

THE VERDICT

* Petition incompetent as per the reliefs sought. Petitioners did not prove over-voting

*Trial tribunal wrong in declaring the rerun election of September 27, 2018 illegal

*The tribunal ought not to have voided the results from the 17 polling units on the grounds that some portions of the results sheets were not recorded

*The only appropriate order is for a rerun election as provided under Section 140(2) of the Electoral Act, not to recompute the results and declare a winner

*The tribunal was in patent error when it set aside the rerun election after finding that the rerun was not marred by malpractices and non-compliance with the Electoral Act, leading to the unwarranted disenfrachisement of the voters in the seven polling units

Read what you posted here 10 times over and tell me if.it makes sense to you. This is just a script from Tinubu. What a judgment

Who Are The Yorubas?

I Ask This Question Because According To Page 11, Paragraph 1.4.3 Of "The National Conference 2014 Report", Under The Heading, "1.4 Continued Agitations In The Early Years Of Independence", The Latter Part Of This Paragraph Reads, "Before 1960, About 9 - 15 Demands For State Creation Were Expressed Including A Yoruba Central State, Ondo Central State And Mid-west From The Western Region; Cross River-Ogoja-Rivers States From The Eastern Region; And Middle Belt State From The Northern Region. No Other State Apart From The Mid-West Region Was Created Before The Collapse Of The First Republic In January 1966.

The Question Now Is, At What Point Did A Separate State (Ondo Central) Became Part Of "Today's Yorubaland?" When It Was Clear From The Above Submission In The 2014 Confab Report That It Considered Itself A Separate Entity. The Ondo Central Here Comprises Of Today's Ondo State And Ekiti State! I Ask Again, Who Are The Yorubas?

Adeleke Vs Oyetola: The Proceedings And Court Of Appeal Final Verdict


Breaking: A-Court upholds Oyetola's appeal, says Adeleke has no case

vanguardngr.com

May 9, 2019 11:41 AM



ABUJA – The Court of Appeal in Abuja, on Thursday, upheld the election of Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun State, even as it nullified the tribunal judgment that declared Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as valid winner of governorship election that held in the state in September,

The appellate court, in a four-to-one decision, held that the entire proceedings of the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, including its judgment, amounted to a nullity.

Justice Jummai Sankey who read the lead judgment of the appellate court, said it was wrong for a member of the tribunal panel, Justice Peter Obiora, who did not attend the entire proceedings of the tribunal, to deliver the majority judgment that sacked Oyetola from office.

The court noted that the 180 days allowed by the constitution for hearing of governorship election petition cases had elapsed.

Consequently, though Justice Sankey declined to give full details of her judgment, in her final analysis, she held that the petition Adeleke’s lodged before the tribunal was incompetent, including reliefs he sought therein.

She held that both PDP and its candidate failed to prove their allegation that the September 27 re-run election that led to Oyetola’s emergence, was characterized by irregularities and over-voting.

The court further held that the 1st and 2nd Respondents, Adeleke and PDP, also failed to prove that the re-run election was conducted with substantial noncompliance to the Electoral Act.

It held that the failure of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to produce the ballot papers and record of accreditation to disprove allegations in the petition, did not substantially affect result of the election.

However, the court disagreed with Oyetola’s contention that Adeleke’s petition against his election was statues barred.

Out of 12 issues Justice Sankey highlighted, she only resolved two in Adeleke’s favour.

“The appeal succeeds, accordingly, I allow the appeal and set-aside the decision of the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.

” I make no order as to cost “, Justice Sankey held.


Meanwhile, though three other Justices on the panel, Abubakar Yahaya, , Isaiah Akeju and Bitrus Sanga, agreed with the lead verdict, a fourth member of the panel, Justice Ita Mbaba, disagreed and upheld the tribunal verdict that gave Adeleke victory.

Justice Mbaba further awarded N200, 000 cost against Oyetola and the APC.

Meanwhile, the tribunal is currently deciding a separate appeal that was lodged by the APC, as well as a cross-appeal Adeleke and PDP filed to challenge the minority judgment of the tribunal that dismissed their petition.

It will be recalled that the tribunal had in a two-to-one split judgment it delivered on March 22, upheld a petition that Adeleke and the PDP lodged against the declaration and return of Oyetola as winner, based on the outcome of the supplementary governorship election.

INEC had at the end of an initial election it conducted on September 22, cancelled results from seven polling units in four Local Government Areas in the state, and ordered a re-run poll.

However, in the lead verdict that was delivered by Justice Obiora, the tribunal, noted that none of the parties disputed the fact that it was the State Returning Officer that cancelled the initial election

The tribunal held that the State Returning Officer acted beyond the power that was allocated to him under the Electoral Act when he voided results and ordered supplementary election in the affected areas.

“We hold that the cancellation was unlawful and ultra-vires of his powers.The cancellation cannot stand, being a product of illegality”, the tribunal held.

Moreover, the tribunal said the onus was on Presiding Officers in polling units where alleged electoral infractions took place, to cancel the result and report same to Ward Collation Officers.

It held that upon receipt of the complaints, the Collation Officer was mandated by the law to fill Form EC40G and submit to the Local Government Collation Officer who will in turn transfer the information in the Form EC40GI and hand same over to the State Collation Returning Officer.

The tribunal held that in the absence of evidence that it was Presiding Officers of the seven Polling Units that cancelled the results, the action of the State Returning Officer amounted to an act of illegality.

Maintaining that the petitioners successfully established a case of non compliance in 17 polling units during the initial election of September 22, 2018, the the tribunal, went ahead and deducted votes that were credited to both PDP and APC in those units.

Dissatisfied with the decision, Oyetola and the APC lodged separate appeals.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he ordered the IDF to continue “massive attacks” on the Gaza Strip, speaking at a government meeting in Jerusalem on Sunday.

"I instructed the IDF to continue massive attacks against terrorist elements in the Gaza Strip. I also ordered the reinforcement of the units around the Gaza Strip with armor, artillery and infantry," stressed Netanyahu.

He also expressed condolences to the family of Moshe Agadi, an Israeli who was killed during the weekend by a rocket attack on Israeli's coastal city of Ashkelon.

Earlier, Israeli forces conducted raids on alleged Hamas targets in Gaza, claiming it to be a response to hundreds of rockets fired on Israel from there. At least two Palestinians have reportedly been killed in these attacks.

The Players With The Most Career Goals In Soccer History!


CONNOR FLEMING MARCH 20, 2019

CRISTIANO RONALDO AND LIONEL MESSI HAVE BOTH ENTERED THE TOP 10 FOR MOST CAREER GOALS IN SOCCER HISTORY, BUT WHO’S AHEAD OF THESE TWO LIVING LEGENDS?

This list for the players with the most career goals in the history of soccer stretches from players who played in the early 1900s to the present day. Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi score at an unprecedented rate in today’s game, but there are those from history whose rate of scoring was even more impressive.

The Guinness World Record for the most goals scored in a specified period is 1,281 by the Brazilian great Pele, born Edson Arantes do Nascimento.

Pele scored these goals between September 7th, 1956, and October 1st, 1977 — a period of 1,363 matches. Pele scored the majority of his goals with Santos FC in Brazil, but his record also includes matches with the Brazilian national team and NY Cosmos in the North American Soccer League (NASL).

While this is the total officially recognized by Guinness, the Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation (RSSSF), which documents only official games, puts his match total at 767 from 831 matches — a rate of 0.92 goals per game.

The players with the most career goals in soccer history:


The RSSSF’s ranking of the top 10 scorers in the history of soccer is as follows:

#1: Josef Bican (Czech Republic) - 805 goals from 530 matches (1.52 per match)

#2: Romario (Brazil) - 772 goals from 994 matches (0.78 per match)

#3: Pele (Brazil) - 767 goals from 831 matches (0.92 per match)

#4: Ferenc Puskas (Hungary) - 746 goals from 754 matches (0.99 per match)

#5: Gerd Muller (Germany) - 735 goals from 793 matches (0.92 per match)

#6: Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) - 700 goals from 987 matches (0.71 per match)

#7: Lionel Messi (Argentina) - 683 goals from 857 matches (0.80 per match)

#8: Ferenc Deak (Hungary) - 576 goals

#9 (Tied): Uwe Seeler (Germany) - 575 goals

BUHARI SHUTS DOOR ON OSHIOMOLE/TINUBU
The rebuff of Bola Tinubu and Adamu Oshiomole marks a significant milestone in the further widening of the divide and/or crack in the national APC between the Tinubu led group and the El Rufai led group. It is clear the El Rufai led group anticipate to play the major role in formulating the next face of the APC against 2023 presidential elections. El Rufai is expected to contest for president. This is while the Tinubu led group had already begun auguring for the same position.

I am loving this good news the battle line has been drawn and to those doubting this I can only pity your madness and warped mind in advance. El Rufai recent outburst in Lagos (Tinubu's terrain) is a testament to the fact that El-Rufai's camp is with the President.

This is how reasonable leader that has the interest of his people at heart talk and defend the sovereignty of the land he swore to protect not some miserable elements in Aso Rock saying trash about his country while making empty jokes about the weight of his IG while the country burns and you still see some goons chanting Buhari till 2023 like miserable almajiris.
Long live Prime Minister Netanyahu
Long live Nation of Israel

*Breaking news:* Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu just made the following speech in front of the Knesset:

----

To Ismail Haniya, and the leaders and operatives of Hamas:

We, the people of Israel, owe you a huge debt of gratitude. You have succeeded where we have failed. Because never before, in the history of the modern State of Israel, has the Jewish people been so united, like one person with one heart. Everyone in Israel, from Left to Right, secular and religious, in united in the knowledge that there is no accommodating an enemy that is sworn to the genocide of our people.

And now, as you continue to launch deadly missiles indiscriminately, intended to maim and murder as many civilians as possible, while you take cowardly refuge behind your own civilians - you continue to inspire us to hold strongly onto our unity. Whatever disputes we Jews may have with each other, we now know that we have one common goal: we will defeat you.

But we are offering you now one last chance. Within 24 hours, all rocket fire - and I mean all rocket fire - will cease. Completely. Forever.

I give you formal notice that our tanks are massed at the Gaza border, with artillery and air support at the ready. We have already dropped leaflets over the northern parts of the Gaza strip, warning civilians of our impending arrival, and that they should evacuate southward, forthwith. If you fail to meet our ultimatum, we are coming in, and, with God's help, this time we will not leave. Every centimeter of land that we conquer will be annexed to Israel, so that there will *never* be another attack launched at our civilians from there.

Even so, we will continue to keep the door open to allow you to surrender gracefully. The moment you announce that you are laying down arms, we will halt our advance, and there we will draw our new borders. If you continue to attack our citizens, we will continue to roll southwards, driving you out of territory that you will never again contaminate with your evil presence.

It pains me deeply that your civilians will be made homeless. But we did not choose this war; you did. And if our choice is between allowing our citizens to be targeted mercilessly by your genocidal savagery, versus turning your civilians into refugees, I regret that we must choose the latter. If only you loved your people as much as you hate ours, this war would never have happened.

To the rest of the world: Israel are tired of your ceaseless chidings that we should "show restraint". When you have your entire population under constant missile fire from an implacable enemy whose stated goal is the murder of every man, woman and child in your land, then you may come and talk to us about "restraint". Until then, we respectfully suggest that you keep your double standards to yourselves.

This time, Hamas has gone too far, and we will do whatever we have to in order to protect our population.

Hamas, once again, I thank you for bringing our people together with such clarity of mind and unity of purpose. The people of Israel do not fear the long road ahead.
Am Yisrael Chai.
THE NATION OF ISRAEL LIVES !

What Ojukwu saw more than 50 years ago when he tried to liberate his people from Northern bondage is what some people are seeing now

I keep saying it anywhere I go that Ojukwu is truly a political prophet of no pair I am loving the movie happening now in the country .

El-Rufai is on a mission to send a strong message to Tinubu

Fulani army of killers, a finger of the northern elites to legally arm the North.

By Yomi Lawal

In 1953 the North massacred other tribes in Kano over the excuse that they were not ready for independence. To help them, the rest of the country handed them political power and control.

They claimed they were educationally disadvantaged, a situation caused by the elites themselves through their own nobility system which ensured non nobles were not educated. To pacify them, the rest of the country gave them a lower educational hurdle and handed them the keys to choice admissions at the detriment of the children in the south!

Then they said they were not well represented in government, and we gifted them federal character in 1979 with which they again brought in inept and poorly educated characters to lead more qualified southerners.

Again they said claimed they had no resources. The rest of the country handed them control of our resources and they proceeded to own oil blocs in places where they can't successfully locate its position even on a map!

Then they claimed they were underdeveloped and like fools, we gave them more local government in sparse places than we had in denser locations in the south! With that they began taking the lion share of the resources they contributed nothing to!

Yet again, they claimed they weren't getting justice im courts, and we gave them sharia courts for them to be judged by their religion in a secular country where the southerners are not judged by Christianity nor traditional religions!

Oh, "we are not enough in the armed forces", and we allowed them join with promissory notes to pass their exams, exams they eventually refused to sit for!

Then just in 2018, we demanded state policing! And these same elites of perdition said State policing is bad. Only for the defence minister Dan Ali to say a few days ago that the Northern traditional rulers should set up community policing!!

The community policing is supposedly in response to high profile kidnappings of the northern elites who curiously are getting released within 24 to 48hours of the kidnapping!

Just as they used the war they brought on themselves to take billions of dollars from the national coffers without accountability and no progress to show for it; they are using this plan to legally start arming the North in broad daylight whilst seizing weapons, including machetes, hoes and ordinary catapult from southerners!

Now is the time to wake up you people. If the North needs community policing then the South must have its own community police!

There must be an end to the northern elites profiting from their crimes at the expense of the south in furtherance of a systematic jihad with a goal to dip the koran in the atlantic ocean!

If herdsmen can bear arms, farmers in the south can bear arms too. If there is a federal government recognized community police in the North, the South must have a federal government funded community police too!

Stop responding to acts orchestrated by the northern elites, acts designed to fool you into easing your grounds and resources to them!

How can they have ALL the heads of agencies that control intelligence gathering and guns from the North, and then claim they can't respond to the insecurity in the same North if the mayhem is not by their own design?

The last time they accused southern traditional rulers of complicity in ordinary peaceful demonstrations, they invaded their palaces with guns! But the the Northern traditional rulers accused of the same thing are given a fiat to create their own police?

I am not stupid, are you?

This APC govt shall never Know peace all through their useless govt for being this diabolical

El-Rufai Tells Lagosians How To Defeat Godfatherism

“Here in Lagos, you have over six million registered voters; only about a million voted (in 2019 general elections); five million did not vote. If I want to run for governor of Lagos, I will start now.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKMAY 06, 2019



Nasir el-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, has advised Lagosians on how to defeat godfatherism in the state.

El-Rufai gave the advice while responding to a question on godfatherism, at an event organised by the Bridge Club tagged: 'An Evening with His Excellency Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State', which held in Lagos on Sunday.

He said addressing it would take early preparation and study.

He said: “Let me tell you something, sir; you know Kaduna State used to be like that. There were three or four politicians in Kaduna that you could not become anything unless you had them on your side.

“Those were the godfathers of Kaduna politics and you had to carry them along and you know, the three words, ‘carry them along’ mean paying them regularly. But we chose a different path and the long and short of it now is that after this election in 2019, we have retired all of them; we had to.

“Here in Lagos, you have over six million registered voters; only about a million voted (in 2019 general election); five million did not vote. If I want to run for Governor of Lagos, I will start now.

“I will commission a study to know why those five million registered voters did not vote; where do they go on election day? Then I will start visiting them for the next four years. I will try and get just two million of them to come and vote for me; I will defeat any godfather. The key is to go to the people. The card readers and the biometric registers have given us the tools to connect directly with the people.

“I assure you if you do that for the next four years, connecting with the people; the tin godfather, you will retire him or her permanently. But it is hard work; it requires three to four years of hard work. So, if you want to run in 2023, you should start now. Many of the godfathers are either on paper or in the mind of people in politics. They are defeatable.”

The Governor also lamented the quality of leaders in the country, stating that Nigerian leaders are the least qualified with questionable qualificiations.

“In most of the developed worlds, the best and the brightest are in politics and public service. I urge you to google the profiles of the captains of the USA, UK, Japan, China and Singapore over the last 10 years and compare their educational and experience profile with ours; you will understand why we are where we are.

“In Nigeria, we have people that never went to school in our National Assembly. We have people with questionable qualifications as state governors. We will go nowhere as long as our best and brightest people that sit in rooms like this, are not in politics or public service."

A Voice of Prophecy and the signs before the Rain....

Elrufai was in Lagos, hosted by a club...The Club President is his personal lawyer, One Mustapha chap like that....So they gave him audience, they said they wanted to hear from him and " Correct" an impression he has in the eyes of many....

The Image correction is Political, a subtle Campaign has begun.....He has one feet inside the water...He tests the depths....He measures the temperature of the polity, it would give him ample time to prepare...

So they gave him audience, he spoke about himself, then they moved to Q & A session......Someone got up and asked him how to eradicate Godfatherism...He mentions Lagos....

Please, a moment of Silence.....



Elrufai would elaborate on godfathers, he mentions those ones in Kaduna..He said they have been permanently confined to the dustbin of History......He said it can be replicated in Lagos....

Elrufai shakes tables....This table has one bad leg....

Elrufai is prepared, he says there are six million registered voters in Lagos...But only 1 million voted....He speaks in crypted diction....He does not hit the nail on the head, he is diplomatic in his response ,,,,

Yet he sows the seeds of discord.....

Let's go back to the issue of " Image and correction"..….He is there to correct his image, for whom and what purpose?? He also details the demographics or Voting pattern in Lagos....He says all that has to be done is to meet 2 Million of those that did not vote and convince them....Then a Godfather can be demystified....!!!....The Plan makes sense a bit, but it is inconclusive....

Elrufai knows more than he said.....

The Campaigns for 2023 has begun...The Purveyors of Divide and rule creep stealthily into the arena...They have but one purpose, to neutralize all dissenting voices.....Lagos has been used as a launch pad...They now make inroads into fortresses.....

We warned about this!!!

Interesting times would come earlier than expected ..For now, no one knows when the rains would begin....

But we hear the prophecy.....

And we also see the signs that heavy rains make their approach...

1. How come buhari scored 15 million votes both in 2015 & 2019 election despite an expansion of PVC holders from 56 million to 72 million?

2. How come all the 3 southern regions of Nigeria have a low turnout ratio of 29% in the South west, 29% in the South South and 24% in the South east?

3. How come total no of accredited voters does not match total no of vote cast? About 750,019 votes are missing.

4. How come inec lied that there were no e-collation & e-transmission of results?

5. How come changes in marginal turnout of voters declined in all the three southern regions by: 11% in the South west, 20% in the South east and 37% in the South South despite a 29% expansion of PVC holders from 56 million to 72 million?

6. How come turnout of votes in Borno & Yobe were very impressive despite security challenges and over 1.7 million internally displaced persons in that part of Nigeria?

7. How come inec did not use the e-collated result for audit re-confirmation as earlier promised during one of their press conferences.

8. How come changes in marginal turnout of voters in Northern Nigeria grew by a paltry 6% despite an expansion of PVC holders from 32 million to 40.2 million?

9. On the National level, how come turnout ratio of eligible voters fell from 50% in 2015 to 38% in 2019?

10. Lastly, why is inec finding it difficult to allow PDP to inspect their election materials?

The end of Buhari and Mahmoud is near.

You dont even know that it's the presidency that has rolled out the witch hunt to throw Fowler out

They are so deluded to the extent that they end up in self deception like miserable zombies from the pit of hell. I have never seen their types before in my life so confused set of beings

My struggle for Lagos PDP chairmanship is to save party from Olabode George – Adewale
MAY 4, 2019

Otunba Segun Adewale, popularly known as Aeroland, is not a stranger to crisis, especially when crisis in the Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is concerned.
He had earlier had a running battle with some leaders over the chairmanship of the state chapter of the party, but had to step aside to allow Hon. Adegoke Salvador ascend the position following the intervention of the national leadership of the party.
But, with the defection of Salvador to the All Progressives Congress (APC) just before the 2019 election, Adewale is back again laying claims to the chairmanship position. When PATRICK OKOHUE met him, he spoke about his motivation, noting that his interest is to see things done right.
Many things have happened in the Lagos chapter of the PDP, especially as far as you are concerned, you even left at a point to contest the governorship of Ekiti State on another platform, but now you are back claiming chairmanship of the Lagos PDP, what is going on?
This is my letter dated February 26, 2016 confirming my position and that of my executives, signed by Ali Modu Sheriff and Prof. Wale Oladipo, the letter was addressed to the Commissioner of Police, Director of SSS and INEC, so there is no confusion about it, this letter states that I am supposed to be the chairman from May 2016 to 2020, but then there were challenges everywhere.
People went to court and we also got judgement from the court and my name was also there too. But during that crisis, because this time there were two opposing groups in Lagos, when we did our congress, Chief Bode George also did a congress on his own and appointed chairmen as he has been doing since 1999 and we have been failing.
We also did our own and I became the chairman, because I didn’t come from Chief Bode George he will not allow, because he has personified PDP Lagos as his own personal business, so he didn’t allow and for a year and half we kept fighting and when the election was getting closer, the national leadership of the party, through Uche Secondus called us to order and said we should reconcile.
So when we reconciled they said give Bode George as the leader, who has been in the corridors of power for so long, he knows these people and because of that they will always say let us give it to Chief Bode George and once that happens,
it means that year we are going to fail again, I knew we were going to lose the 2019 election, but if I keep fighting and we lose the election they will blame it on me, so I had to step aside and they said they wanted Adegoke Salvador, Salvador never won any congress, he was chosen.
But George started having problems again with Salvador, because Salvador too wants to win election, so Salvador was forced out of the party, he had to go to APC.
Was it Salvador’s exit that created the current problem?
In a way yes, with that there was a vacuum again and the constitution in section 46, 47 states that if the chairman of the PDP leaves, the only way to fill that vacant position is by one Congress or the state executive committee comes together and vote for a new chairman from the same Senatorial District as the last one that left, very simple.

But Chief Bode George and the National Vice Chairman, South West, Dr. Eddy Olafeso did not even mind our constitution at all, they jettisoned the constitution and only went ahead to satisfy Chief Bode George and said Dominic you are the chairman, without election, no congress, no ratification by the state executive committee.
But that happened before the election and you did nothing then, what happened now?
I was supposed to start fighting again, but it was about three months to election, so I decided to hold my peace and allow the decision of Olabode George and Olafeso.
All the monies that came into the party within that period they held on to the money, and I know it’s because of the money they are doing what they are doing, but we don’t care about the money, we want to win election.
A lot of the South South, South East people are dying for us, every four years they go and vote for us, let us go and win, but because it was just three months to election I allowed them, but I was fighting indirectly.
Dominic has 90 days to end his tenure, so after election there was vacancy again.

The constitution does not allow acting chairman, it must be chairman, after that George wanted to field another chairman and we said fine go through the constitution of the party,
but he refused, so I said if that is the case me too I am a chairman, that is what happened, so, I am just claiming to be chairman, because if he can on his own be doing that every four years without recourse to the constitution, I can also lay claim to the position,
I have documents and judgement that confirms that I am also the chairman, because sometimes to solve a problem you have to create another problem, so, I am trying to create a problem for that problem that Bode George causes to be solved, otherwise we have already lost 2023 in advance, because Dominic did not even win his polling booth, Bode George did not even win his polling booth.

We had about 11 House of Representatives candidates that won election, but none of you heard about it, INEC had to ask for a rerun, there was not a single statement from the PDP to say this is cheating, Rita in Ajeromi Ifelodun is still doing a second rerun, Rita won, we won in Ojo, we won in Surulere, Oshodi Isolo, another one in Ikorodu, Somolu, but there was nobody in PDP to even write a statement condemning the act of INEC, rather PDP executive through Chief Olabode George are now supporting APC that took our positions, saying that those claiming to have won election on PDP platform are not even members of the PDP,
we are now the ones testifying against our own, we can’t continue that way, that is why I am fighting, I am not fighting because of me, I don’t need any chairmanship, I am busy, I have over 100 staff, over 18 branches I don’t have time,
I have a lot of challenges on my neck, but our generation is dying, we can’t allow somebody with one leg in PDP, another leg in APC.
From your explanations, your intentions are clear, but earlier while you were trying to resolve your differences with Salvador, Secondus came in, but in this instance have you also tried to approach Secondus to try to seek solution to the face-off?
The Solution is in the constitution, we cannot continue to jettison the constitution because of Chief Olabode George.
Since 1999 Chief Olabode George has not won any election, I am not talking about winning election in Lagos, I am talking about winning his polling booth, if he can give me a document that he has won his polling booth I will leave PDP,
I will not even do politics anymore, he has not won his polling booth not to talk of winning his ward or local government.
Infact in 2017, going into local government election when I was chairman, Chief Olabode George went on air, on Channels Television to say that the PDP was not contesting election, that the people should vote for Labour Party.
Meanwhile without any financial support from anybody we won six council seats. George and his group could not even win one seat.
I used my personal funds to fight, we actually won 21 seats, but those six seats we had to fight before the names of our candidates were announced. The only thing they are saying now is that Aeroland is now in ADP.

But is that claim not valid, because you contested governorship seat in Ekiti on ADP platform
Yes, I contested on the ADP platform, but I am not a member of ADP, and if anybody say they saw me somewhere decamping to ADP let them show evidence, I did not decamp.
How can you contest on the platform of a party when you are not a member?
Yes, let me tell you what happened, I left Lagos because I knew nothing will happen in Lagos, because when they told me to hand over to Salvador I knew its another failure, so why should I be wasting my time,
so, I went to Ekiti State, but when I got to Ekiti State I met another younger version of Bode George in the form of Ayo Fayose, that one said it will be over his dead body that I will contest on the PDP platform in Ekiti, what will I do, I want people to know me, so I had to use another platform.

There were so many platforms begging me, so I choose to use ADP, that is what happened, so immediately I finished the election I went back to my ward, because politics is local, even if you are at the National level, you have to go to your ward.
It is only if you guys go to my ward and they say I am not a member of the PDP that is when they will have a point, I have been back to PDP in my ward since July, both in Ekiti and Lagos.
What I did initially in Ekiti State is that a lot of people who didn’t want to vote for PDP because of Ayo Fayose, so rather than allow them vote for APC I said no, those are the kind of people I have and after the election I took them back to PDP and the Secretary of PDP in Ekiti State was there at the meeting ,

I even donated millions to support Abubakar Atiku’s campaign and I have been giving millions in my ward. I have reintegrated myself back to the ward.
Afterall, Atiku was in PDP, left for APC and now back in PDP, Bode George and Salvador were in Labour before they returned to PDP, so there is no big deal about it, but you can’t force me to remain in ADP.
It’s like when Atiku came to PDP I will say no you are an APC person, no, it is what you want and what does the constitution say?
That is what I am saying, the constitution says even when you go another party and you come back they will accept you, but they give you a time frame within which you can contest, if I want to contest for anything now I have a time frame.
But, Bode George that went to Labour nobody is talking about him, infact Fayose went from PDP to APGA, to Labour, back to ACN to support Fayemi to become governor and back to PDP, so what are we talking about, my own case is that I wanted to contest election and they didn’t allow me and some people gave me their platform,

I never decamped, they are only using that as an excuse. What we should be talking about is what have I contributed to the party, in 2015 when I contested we won seven local governments, I have the results, I lost three local governments to rigging, that time we had eight Assembly, six Reps.

Now, to even have one Rep is struggle, we don’t have a single Assembly now in Lagos State, it is getting worse, must we continue in that, no, it can’t continue, that is the reason why I am fighting,
I am not fighting for myself, I have no time, but somebody must stand up to Chief Bode George, you have been in charge since 1999 and you have been failing, what do you want again.
Talking about standing up to Chief Bode George, many people within the party see it as a herculean task; do you think it is a battle you can win?
I have already won; I have taken over the Secretariat, though I didn’t put anybody on ground because it is expensive, but I can do whatever I want to do at anytime, I am the chairman.

If you are the chairman, who are the other members of your executive?
The executive that was appointed by Secondus during the reconciliation agreement is still valid. My interest is the chairmanship because the chairman left,
if Salvador was still there I have no problem, because during the reconciliation we all agreed, but now Salvador left, must we allow Chief Bode George to be the only one that will keep giving us chairman as he has been doing in the last 20 years and we have been failing, it is only a mad man that will be doing something the same way and expect a different result.
What is your relationship with Jimi Agbaje, because some people believe that you are fighting Chief Bode George because George’s group is fighting Agbaje and perhaps you are being sponsored by Agbaje?
Agbaje cannot sponsor me in this life, because Agbaje and I are not even in good terms, during the last election I told him this is the way we can win the election, he didn’t even allow me.

I was the DG Lagos West for Agbaje, he didn’t allow me, all my plans, everything I did, everything he was doing was in secrecy, when we said ok let us have the names of the polling booth agents,
let’s have a meeting, let’s train them, he kept telling me I am coming, so I don’t have any business with Agbaje, he knows that, even till the last day of election.
Throughout the election the only money I collected from Agbaje is N100,000, from the billions that entered Lagos, I spent my own millions on his behalf when he would not do the right thing.

Agbaje is very strong headed, he doesn’t listen to anybody, he want to do things his own way and that is why he keep failing, losing in election, everything is not about money, we can manage whatever little money he has, but he wants to do things his way, so Agbaje cannot sponsor me.
You said any attempt for Bode George to continue in the leadership of the PDP in Lagos State that the party has already lost the 2023 election, how do you mean?
Yes, that is very true and I will go on air to tell Lagosians, especially the South South, South East people, not to bother themselves because their votes will not count, because it is Chief Bode George’s people that will count the votes of PDP in favour of APC, so there is no need.

But what are your plans to ensure Lagos PDP does well?
That is what I am doing
What are your reconciliatory plans?
I am not reconciling anything with anybody; we have been doing reconciliations since the time of Funsho Williams, yet losing elections.

But are members of the party with you?
Yes, the members of the party that wants to win election are with me, those who have been benefiting from Bode George’s losses are with him, so there is no need for me to reconcile.

But, then there is division
Look, if we have 20 percent of people who are honest in Lagos PDP we will win the election, we don’t need 100 percent, that is what I am saying, there is no need for you to have 80 percent of thieves and you say you are working with them, you can’t pour a new wine in an old wine skin, it’s impossible, the bottle will break, so I will rather go with 20 percent and win the election, I don’t need the whole.

How can you have a party where we cannot count ourselves, since 1999 we don’t know our members and our strength, we can’t count our money, the money we are making maybe by dues and the rest, we don’t know, there is no accountability, again we can’t even count our votes, how do you win an election, three things.
We can’t count ourselves as members, how many do we have in ward A1, M2, we don’t know, no data base, we can’t count the total money we have been receiving from members, we can’t even pay our rent.
Despite the billions that enter Lagos we still owe the Landlord, we can’t even count our votes, with 18,000 polling units in Lagos, PDP has never put men in all the 18,000 polling units, so when we can’t even count out votes how do we win election.
Those are the three things I want to do, and once we do those three things we will win, do you know why?
Because a lot of Lagosians are suffering, they are under bondage, draconian laws everywhere, triple taxation, from the state, Federal, local government, all manner of taxes, even LASTMA arresting people against the law to raise money, so, the people who want to vote for you are there, but you have to put the right people at the polling units.

When I contested election, INEC gave the result sheet to a PDP agent, one of their person, to verify and assent, he said no that APC won the place,
he is dead now though, just imagine, we have won, INEC has declared, PDP was telling INEC that no it is APC that won, it happened either in G North or G South.
That is why I say that it is the PDP that is rigging for APC, APC is not winning any election, even Tinubu said that much after the first election this time around that APC only tried in five local governments,
that they failed in the rest, that is the point and the last election was against a ramshackle PDP, against a PDP that was still working for Asiwaju Tinubu, so we don ‘t need 100 percent members to join me, if we have 30 percent I am ok.

Quote
In 2015 when I contested we won seven local governments, I have the results, I lost three local governments to rigging, that time we had eight Assembly, six Reps. Now, to even have one Rep is struggle, we don’t have a single Assembly now in Lagos State,
it is getting worse, must we continue in that, no, it can’t continue, that is the reason why I am fighting, I am not fighting for myself, I have no time, but somebody must stand up to Chief Bode George, you have been in charge since 1999 and you have been failing, what do you want again.
