When you hear the term 'party agent' you'd imagine a decent looking fellow. I'm really sorry to say so but this fellow isn't.

CreampieAngela:
Corruption is not restricted to looting public funds alone, this itself is a corrupt practise. An Helicopter bought with tax payers money, meant for the police to help protect public life and properties, is being used by a private individual to attend a private function. This is highly unacceptable and condemnable

When you are in power you write the rules of engagement. Just pity those who've been sold down the river. Can't imagine what they'd be thinking now. Don't worry, perhaps in 200 years if you hang around long enough.

Nope! Don't think it applies in the scenario you just painted as the president was a sitting president not an about to be declared winner president.

In such an instance the law clearly stipulates that the vice assumes office in event of the demise or in capacitance of the sitting president.

The Kogi case is totally different. If Audu (rip) had been sworn in before he passed, Faleke would have done a waltz and a jig to the office of the number one citizen of Kogi state. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case.

So what is Faleke's position and who is Yahaya's running mate.

WaffenSS:
Audu was never declared governor-elect by INEC, the only body constitutionally empowered to do so. Thus, Faleke was not yet deputy governor-elect and cannot therefore have any claims to succession.

His position died with Audu.

But what is Yahaya now saying. Why the contradiction. Why is he compelled to be the deputy then.

texazzpete:
PDP will almost certainly win Bayelsa state. And i suspect the APC leadership already know this.

But the true talking point is how well a fight APC is putting up in what was supposed to be an easy PDP stronghold.

i expected it to be a PDP whitewash. 2019 should be rather interesting

With the way things are going in the country by 2019 the balance of power between the PDP and the APC will have equalised. That is leaving sentiments and sectionalism aside and based on pure performance.

Those are d kinds of touts that make laws for us.
He shud av asked Facebook,twitter to also register with CAC.What of lindaikeji,is she registered with CAC,or has anyone successfully sued her, despite her númerous disputed gossips? Anytime they are cornered they either whip up sentiments or divert from the issues by issuing empty threats.

Pally, it works. Nigeria runs on hot air, federal, state and local.

You can never really make it in life or amount to much working under such lax conditions.

I am typing this from work and I've been here for up to an hour on a Saturday for starters.

Pheals:
no excuse every 6hours

Hmm. Must be a faulty engine leaking hydraulic.

This is very, very dangerous and so, so unfortunate. The Nigerian state must de-escalate the situation with immediate effect and enter into dialogue as a matter of urgency with the aggreived parties.

I absolutely agree and have been saying this for years. People make up nations and not the other way round. The quality of a country is about the quality of its people. Nigeria owes its people. It has an obligation to negotiate with, appease, provide for, secure its people and strengthen its uniom. If Nigeria was a father is this how it treats its children?

makizee:
Can't Fayose notice that The government has continued to ignore him and his rants and just give it a rest

But it is on record for 2, 5, 10 years down the line when hind sight will be 20-20. Let's see how it all goes.

Remii:
is sambo dasuki the highest beneficiary of 1983 coup? why will buhari take it out on him alone? why no ibb? I think we should let the court do their job for all to see

Which court?

baby124:
Let all the fake banks recruiting Nigerian women into prostitution die a natural death. The real banks that have depositor confidence will survive. Banks are NOT supposed to have government funds. Are they CBN

Ask me. They will rob their customers, owe their clients and ride roughshod over real investors. Thank goodness their sugar daddy has withdrawn his largesse. Let us see how these round tripping, two timing, money launderers will cope. We have just four mobile networks and five oil majors and there is virile competition. We don't need more than five serious, viable, business oriented banks.

bettercreature:
Ben Bruce is attention seeker! why wont they depend on federal government when they dont have control over their resources,government should allow resources control then see if states will not be able to take care of themselves,he is talking about America where most states control their resources

We are talking about generating revenue through enterprise not states depending on the same resources and consuming them like the Federal government. We should eject this jaundiced mentality from our system. The real and ultimate resource any government has and should have is its people. They own the land and all that is on/and in it. The government's sole responsibility is to put the people to work. The worth of any country or nation are its people not its minerals. Nigeria is the way it is because it is a country filled with poor quality citizens and not because we don't have minerals underfoot.

eledalo:
You claim to be one of his close advisers and regularly meet with him. Can't you tell him this to his face?

It is clear no one can approach him let alone pass advice. Couple that with the 'yes men' and you have a cocktail of misadventure. It is good for a leader to be hard but it is bad for him to be feared.

damton:
Very soon dem go soon chop inside Water closet

And what's wrong with that. Saturday mornings with a mug of smug coffee before taking a dip. But the packer is....quite....disconcerting.

james1:
Have you seen any leader the world over who wants to be or is a good leader but takes side with corrupt people?
What have you got to say with the type of men that bankrolled hos campaigns?
Do you think they did for free? Pls be realistic.
Pmb may want to do good things for nigeria but with tinubu and amaechi by his side?
You want to claim you did not hear about the remita payments amounting to 25billion naira? There is more to come.

Why can't pmb explain to nigerians what really happened to the 25billion that disappeared when he was ptf chaiman?
Politicians are politicians and will do whatever it takes to get what they want.

Buhari knew this would be his last chance to fulfill a burning wish, be civilian president before the"end" and he gave everything including his personal integrity to get it.to all those who voted for him I hope your eyes are begining to open?

Yeah. That case. I remember it well and have some information on that but it involves certain parties that are late now.

avelock:
Unfortunately what Mr. Aregbesola said is true but what they should help us ask Oga Aregbese is what did he use the billions he borrowed with because the loans repayment weaken Osun Allocation by over one billion every month. Argebese pls answer us

Easy na. You can do the math. 1 billion in interest payment monthly means 12 billion p.a. Divide that by 0.2 and look for a 60 billion project or series of executions. I just wonder how foolish a bank(s) can be in giving out such an amount on a non productive investment.

mrvitalis:
Oga stop complaining.... Who will go into the agriculture for u.?
So if people farm and sale there goods they will dash government the money?
.. U as a Governor can allocate 200000 hecters for government farm
.. with ur university agricultural faculty.. . U can plant say banana there.... One hecter can take 2000 banana tress... Multiple by 200000 that 400. Million banana trees... Say 300 million fruit after max 2 years
If u sale one bunch at the export market for $10 oga that will give u $3bn dollars
U can settle all ur doubt and improve ur state



... . Think Nigerian leaders think

They can't think and neither will I if I were receiving free money monthly to spend. The allocation and rent seeking system of government we operate is like water on the fire of critical thinking. It promotes mental retardation, laziness and corruption. That is why the change we clamour for is of the game and the rules, not of the players or the referee.

sameer1212:
Aregbesola why na? Why you they give wailers chance to insult you? Nawa to you o

That is all you can say. You can't even address the topic and ask proper questions. Even in the face of impending doom you remain playing sordid party politics.

mastengsynergy:
Tinubu boys. APC with Tinubu on board = TROUBLE. He want to force his boy Faleke on Kogi. Democrats indeed.

Told you he was not a democrat.

The best days of the APC are a distant memory.

I am not one to criticise President Buhari for attending the summit on climate change. He should be there. But you cannot take your eyes off the people and what is happening on the home front especially when he has a weak government structure and overbearing influence on every aspect of governance. Like I will always tell my fellow professionals. If you have to travel a lot on business marry an equally dynamic woman as gate keeper and do the scheduling. If Buhari is to be absent frequently then he needs a strong, virile cabinet, not a government of housewives who cannot take decisions and raise the family properly. It will affect his government and his image down the line.

dammytosh:
I hear you but great organizations don't REMOVE THEM THE INSTANT THEY DON'T MEET expectation.

I pray your company will outgrow that mentality soonest.

Keep up the good work of providing jobs for the youths. God Bless You.

We are a growing organisation so we cannot afford to keep dead load. When we get too big then we can afford redundancies. Nigeria has so much resources that's why we can afford bad leadership. If we had no oil for instance we will naturally elevate our thinking. I simply cannot afford to pay someone who doesn't produce.

dammytosh:
Are u employed ?

Do you get your final appraisal for the whole year in February ?

No sir, I employ people, several, and in the Nigeria of today I appraise them from the first day at work and to stay competitive I remove them the instant they donot meet my expectation. That's because I'm in business of course. I have no time for sentiments. But I can understand politics is different so carry on. Enjoy.

dammytosh:
When you allow a clueless President to rule for 6 years and diplomatic ties have been damaged.

I remembered they said the same thing about Obasanjo in 1999

I love the wailer"s strategic game sha. It is a win win.

1. If BuharI did not travel any where they will still say he is too old to govern and he is using pampers.

2. If Buhari had defeated Boko Haram since, they will say he simply called his boys to order.


I am waiting patiently for the first quarter of this tenure before appraisal instead of following election losers way of thinking.

Hmmm....first quarter abi. So let me try to fathom which kind of a game we are playing? Basket ball or American footy? Because it all started out as, 'let us judge after two months, then three months, then the infamous first hundred days, then 6 months, then by December. Now by the first quarter i.e. May 29th 2016. Abeg which kind of game has the players pursuing after an athletic, sprinting goal post. I know not one.

adaweezy:
Has the elections been concluded Yes or NO

Exactly. The elections had not been won so the APC remains in control.

seunmsg:
Ordinarily, this matter should not generate so much controversy as it it currently generating if politicians are ready to do the right thing irrespective of personal interest. Audu and Faleke contested jointly and won the election. After Audu's death, it's only normal for Faleke to step up and take over the mandate.

Bringing in Yahaya Bello after over 90% of the election had been concluded and won is very pointless. It can never withstand any legal scrutiny. APC should do the right thing and stop courting trouble.

My friend there is also a moral case for the alternative candidate at the primaries. Audu had not completely won in order to 'activate' the powers of a vice. Faleke for all intents remains a 'nominee' until the elections are won. The same case making the ballot one for Audu is the same case making it one for the entire APC. Audu was not declared winner. The rocket had not lifted off. It was still on auxillary power when it exploded so its NASA's fault not the astronauts.

Just restructure the country and most problems will disappear. Maintain the status quo and continue running in circles while the State of the Union degenerates.

pdppower:
If they were not caught they could perhaps have done worse things to their victims. So they deserve what they got.

And so....why do I have this sick feeling that in no distant future they will be back to that community with the scars and fury to bear. Why do I have this sick feeling that it is better to kill rather than just wound the apex predator of the jungle.
When these guys maim, rape and comit all manner of inhumane acts perhaps it is because....do the math...

TimeManager:
O YE WAILERS MAY YOUR TEARS BE FULL. I Am Surprised That FFK Has Yet To Use His Anti-Wailing Syrub. First Of All, I Am Particularly Concerned About The Phantomed Missing And Killed Soldiers That Only Existed In The Figments Of Imagination Of FFK And His Wailing Family.It is a known fact that PDP has created some media platforms in the last one year and has invested heavily in them in the last couple of months but unfortunately, their bids to get the international attention on the alleged missing soldiers has not favoured them so far. But i have an excruciatingly bad news for them, this propaganda aint flying. FFK, MIZMYCOLI, PDP,.... Get the real families(not paid) of those soldiers on board so it could add weight to your claim,afterall we could see the families of the abducted chibok girls. Stop running with spurrious propaganda thinking the int'l community would jump right behind your spinless back. And for the rest of the write-up and those names he quoted, its a complete hogwash.
No Lie Only Truth!

Like you, so the former government handled the Chibok matter and the rest they say is history. Unfortunately this time around it is not about a school of pre purb girls but a band of brothers with a means to call back. The government had better apply wisdom or else.

dustmalik:
First of all, none of these is actually proven or admitted by the military. Besides, there is no where in the world where the military admits to every casualty it suffers.

Just listen to yourself.
