Ambode should not start talking about people..he should focus on ideas like fashola and forget PDP

According to Channels TV, APC will be choosing a running mate for Buhari before the end of today.

People currently being considered

Fashola
Amaechi
Oshiomole
Osinbajo

I think with Fashola this will be a winning team

cramjones:
Even if one does not have any sense at all, at least a retard should know that whoever steps on the toes of two strong generals - OBJ and GMB, will be utterly crushed. This is the begining of the end of President Jonathan and all those who have destroyed Nigeria. Everyday our people are bombed to oblivion, and our President does nothing! Just as OBJ exposed the ineptitude, ineffectiveness, inefficiency, carelessness,
cluelessness, callousness, insensitivity and selfishness of Goodluck Jonathan in his book titled "My Watch", so shall the crumbs of GEJ's government be made bare for our brooms to sweep!

We are watching!

i thot your work was done on nairaland

When anyone make this kind of claim, I will check the post history to confirm if such tallies with the history, and they never disappoint.

Here is a liar claiming to have burn his APC membership card today.

Most of these TANoids are very dumb

You exposed him and he ran!.. eyah wheres op after this

With Buhari having over 3000 Votes and Kwankwaso's box full with as much as Buharis this will be a close call.

Kwankwaso has surprised many and would not be surprised if he has over 3000 votes also.

Very shallow analysis from afar patience young man...

Wow see PDP struggling to look for what to call achievements what a shame!..after 6 years?

so another four years of mediocre achievements..hes time to retire GEJ, thanks for your service but we no longer require it.

APC bringing back the Nigeria we used to know..Organised!

It is obvious Atiku is not like minds as the APC. Just like buhari said, even if he had dollars to share he would not share it to buy votes.

A party of change should not condole this and should disqualify him before he turns the party to something just like he bribed NASS during OBJ.

What how he will run this time.

Run run!

Why does GEJ want another term, he knows he is not fit for the job! well maybe the other 4 Presidents have pushed him to it.

Baba iyabo is confirming a lot of things we all suspected..it is well!

It simply shows how much the people hate the current government and anyone that has been part of it

lol all of Jona Ministers cannot even win their party's governorship tickets.

People Deceiving People party..now deceiving themselves when there is no one to deceive again.

Abeg go sleep obanikoro or take commissioner from Fayose

Jonathan seemed like a different PDP candidate initially..better dont vote people, vote party

PDP will always be PDP no time to test to confirm. I say APC any day!

APC upped the GAME! PDP doesnt have a choice than to look for credible human beings than their previous evil candidates

APC delegates will surely not be voting Atiku

Baba iyabo means it that Atiku will not become President

In his latest book titled My Watch scheduled to be launched in Lagos this morning, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has chronicled the genesis of the uneasy relationship between him and his former deputy, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, as well as how his aides planted moles within Atiku’s camp to monitor him.

Obasanjo, who denied ever seeking Third Term in office, blamed Atiku for what he described as a campaign of calumny against him on the issue after buying up the media.

From Obasanjo’s account, it would seem that his relationship with Atiku began on a sour note:

“By the Constitution, I had to inaugurate or prorogue the National Assembly on June 4, 1999. The most important officer in the National Assembly is the senate president and that office had been zoned to the South-east. And here was where Atiku Abubakar, my vice-president, first showed his hand and his character.

“Without seeking my view or approval, he started planning the installation of Chuba Okadigbo as the senate president. I did a background check on Chuba including his past as a student and made enquiries about him in the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) under (President Shehu) Shagari and no one would recommend him for the post of senate president.

“I left Atiku to go on his chase while I carried out a meticulous and detailed investigation and background check on each senator from the South-east. The one that appeared most appointable was Evan Enwerem. I canvassed the senate across the board for his election and he was elected. Atiku did not expect it and he felt sore.

“He began to strategise for Enwerem to be removed and Chuba Okadigbo to be installed. His strategy worked because I was at Abuja airport to receive a visiting head of state when the news reached me that the Senate had impeached Enwerem and elected Okadigbo. I was not perturbed. I came to understand from some senators including Florence Ita-Giwa, who later became my Special Adviser/ Liaison Officer to the National Assembly, that Atiku distributed US$5,000 each to some senators to carry out the ‘coup’.

“That was the beginning of bribing the legislature to carry out a particular line of action to suit or satisfy the purpose or desire of an individual or a group. The National Assembly had tasted blood and they would continue to want more. From the day I nominated Atiku to be my vice, he set his mind not for any good, benefit or service of the country, but on furiously planning to upstage, supplant or remove me at all cost and to take my place.

“That was what I brought him for, but he was impatient and over-ambitious. He was not ready to learn and to wait. His marabout, who predicted that despite being elected as governor, he would not be sworn in as a governor, which happened, also assured him that he would take over from me in a matter of months rather than years.

“All his plans, appointments of people and his actions were towards the actualisation of his marabout’s prediction. Once I realised his intention and programme, I watched him like a hawk without giving any indication of what I knew and letting down my guard. I could not succumb to the distraction, diversion and malevolence of an ambitious but unwise deputy.

“The work in hand was more important than a confrontational relationship with my deputy, a man over whom I knew I had far more experience and outreach in all matters. To alert him of what I knew he was up to, would only lead to lying, denial, more mischievous plans and more duplicity on his part.

“He was better managed that way. What was important was not allowing myself to be surprised or outmanoeuvred by him. I must always seize the initiative and know what was going on if not in his mind, but at least in his camp. That I did very effectively.

“Sometime in the fourth quarter of 2004, an associate of Atiku came to my residence at the Aso Villa from Atiku’s official residence. He felt uncomfortable and I tried to make him feel at ease. Then, he settled to tell me the story of what had just transpired in Atiku’s residence. I listened with rapt attention.

“He went on to say that Atiku told him that for him to become the President of Nigeria, the 2007 elections were only a formality.

“The seven ingredients he needed for his enthronement were already in his hands. He controlled the National Assembly because both the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives were in his pocket. He controlled twenty-eight out of thirty-six governors. He had control of the media. His influence over the judiciary was overwhelming.

“What he needed was foreign endorsement and for that he had employed two lobby groups in the US and one in the UK. And finally, the money for the elections was in his purse.

“When the man finished, I thanked him without passing any comment. The man was surprised at my reaction and asked, ‘You have nothing to say to these?’ I said that I had nothing to say and I immediately called my ADC, Chris Jemitola, to play a game of squash with me.

“On our way to the squash court with my ADC, I said, ‘People at times make plans and leave God out of their plans.’ My casual remark struck Chris and he said, ‘Sir, that was a profound statement.’ I said that I made the statement because of what I had just heard of Atiku’s plan. I was not convinced he had put God in his plans.

“Atiku was confident and God was laughing. Most of Atiku’s ingredients soon started to fall out of place one by one. The first was the party, PDP.

“He thought I was powerless and had no clue about the execution of his plan with his group; part of his attack on me was for national chairman of the party to give the first salvo, then other things would follow as his grip on the party would be firm and consolidated.

“That salvo came in the form of a letter to me from the chairman of the party, Audu Ogbeh, who had fully defected with (Iyorchia) Ayu to Atiku.

“The letter, which was not the product of any issue or matter discussed with or at any party meeting, came suddenly. When I received it, I could read the sinister intention behind it.

“I spent that night writing my reply and I sent it in the morning. My reply was clear. I wondered why Atiku and his group did not realise that with my reply, the battle line was clear or maybe they thought that the seven ingredients would remain intact to the end.

“My assistants had moles within the Atiku group. Anything that they planned would be reported. That was the case after Ogbeh’s letter. They decided that Ogbeh should appear remorseful and come with the National Working Committee to apologise to me. It was not from their hearts, but to lure me to a ‘killing ground’.

Dont know why im not impressed with this guy..most of what he listed is what a normal public administrator will do in Kenya or South Africa, not to talk of the western world..So to me i cant categorically call them achievements will be more of duties.

Supo Shashore/Abike Dabiri to me would take Lagos to a level where Fashola would seem like childs play

With oil at over $100 per barrel he tried o..ha the guy delivered!

We will see what APC will do at $70 per barrel..u will understand what achievement really is

He cant do anything to earn my vote, but to change his reputation in my mind after he leaves Feb he can do the following:

1. Begin packing his load out of Aso rock
2. Give us peaceful 3 months before he leaves
3. Tell Abati and Okupe to SHUT UP!

Deputy Governor Lagos State!

Is this debate still holding?

sandraokosun:
CLUELESS is when you change unilag to m.k.o abiola university and change it to unilag within 2 days

MAULAG was a very funny one, it shows the kind of advisers this guy has

ola6:
In the history of Nigeria, I have NEVER seen a governor this spineless, cowardly and political weak as Fashola. Haba, 8 years as the governor of a state as powerful as Lagos state and you still could not defeat a former Governor?! As you are a governor, so was Tinubu, yet he has and will achieve more than you in this life and the next. What a coward! So ashamed of you! But if its helpless citizen, you can deport, arrest and fine them abi? Disappointed!

Another senseless post!

What a senseless post! where did you see fashola say he had chosen someone, its a different case if Fashola came out to present Shasore and he didnt win!

Why am i wasting my time with this thread, OP go to your state and sort out who the next governor will be

It is time Fayose (Mr. stomach infrastructure) is told he wont be in office forever.

No week goes by without some form of drama surrounding this man..you would think a man that has a second chance will do things differently. But he has proven drama cannot be separated from him.

Ekiti people hope you are enjoying your new Governor!

Abati and Okupe over to you....

A former Nigeria’s High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Dr. Christopher Kolade, on Thursday condemned President Goodluck Jonathan for not showing the right leadership in the manner he had been handling his responsibilities as the nation’s leader.

He spoke at the sixth Christopher Kolade Symposium organised by the Nigeria Leadership Initiative, an organisation he was a pioneer patron.

He made specific reference to Jonathan’s decision to honour a political rally in Kano shortly after a bombing that killed several people early in the year, saying the best he could have done was “to postpone the political event.”

For choosing to continue with the programme, he said, the President did not demonstrate that he was sensitive to the pains of the people.

While chiding the campaigns of pro-Jonathan non-governmental organisations, the respected statesman said, “Nigeria was, at every other time, better than now.”

He said those who said the country “had never been this good” were lying, and that at over 80 years he could tell that the country had a robust history.

He lamented the drift in leadership quality, a situation that he said should worry Nigerians.

“If we get to a point when we do not care how the country is led, we have lost hope. The country is where it is today because some people sacrificed. Unfortunately, beyond stealing, our leaders are not ready to sacrifice anything,” he said.

Kolade said he took up a responsibility to lead the Subsidy Re-investment and Empowerment Programme to demonstrate his love for the country. Rejecting the appointment, he said, would have amounted to wishing the initiative failure.

He said he rejected allowance offer because he was financially stable. The second reason, according to him, was to enable him to quit when he noticed it was not going to succeed without the hassle of “waiting till end of the month to collect allowance.”

The former envoy said no Nigerian was happy with the leadership style and the manner the public institutions were operated.

He, however, said many had not made up their minds on what they would accept, tolerate or resist.
