Congrats to the new speaker of the house of rep. Hon dagora. I can bet with my balls that he will get all the pdp votes. Gbaja is going nowhere. APC should have allowed the decision to be made in the house. Now pdp will never support the APC anointed candidate. And for the other parties they are off shoot of pdp. So you can guess how they will vote.

I agree with the post that the OP's rank in MuMU army is general, did he get that info.

ITs common knowledge that Osinbajo will be restricted only to ceremonial duties, like attending church related events and weddings on behalf of FG he will never be trusted with any responsible portfolios like sambo got.

If an American had committed a crime against Nigeria, would the Americans give him up for trials in Nigeria? Whatever Kasamu may have done let him face the music according to Nigeria laws in Nigeria, how are we sure he will get a fair trial in the US. His sins notwithstanding he is a Nigerian. Let's not forget.h

I hear Tinubu is proposed the Electoral fraud star Rufus Akeju to take over from JEGA

One wonders why the governor of Oyo state Senator Isiaka Ajimobi who was declared the winner of the 2015 governorship elections by the highly compromised Resident Electoral commissioner Mr. Rufus Akeju, is refusing to collect the tribunal summons and barring his aide from doing so on his behalf.

It will be recalled that the Accord gubernatorial candidate Senator Rashidi Ladoja petitioned the electoral tribunal over the out come of the elections which he believed to have been massively rigged by the Oyo state Resident Commissioner Mr Rufus Akeju in favor of the All Progressive Candidate Senator Isiaka Ajimobi.

Senator Ajimobi continues to evade the tribunal's service so much so that the lawyers of the Accord guber candidate had to seek the tribunal's permission to serve the governor through a substituted service which the tribunal has granted.

It is curious that Senator Ajimobi who Rufus Akeju said has won the elections free and fair, will be running from Pillar to Post if he had truly won. ITS TRUE WHAT THEY SAY, THE GUILTY ARE ALWAYS AFRAID.

I don't see Senator Isiaka Ajimobi of Oyo state in the list. He is most likely to lose. Considering he has been refusing to receive the Tribunals summon.

Na so o! Politicians don't lie, they are just economical with the truth. ;DNa so o! Politicians don't lie, they are just economical with the truth.

Wetin the bros the sell! Already billionaire before 40. I happy for u o!

Good idea

Good a enough reason to change the traitor, he doesn't seem to know the true definition of loyalty. Assuming Op your source is accurate.

Why am I not surprised by the xenophobic attitudes of ordinary south Africans if the above picture is real.

Though the national elections have come and gone, the joys of victory and the agonies of defeat have been heard, there is no better time than now to X-ray how Professor Attahiru Jega and some of his men performed.
‎
If the INEC boss deserves kudos for a job well done, the same cannot be said of Ambassador Rufus Akeju, the Resident Electoral Commissioner of Oyo state. The last national and state elections in the state was a sham to say the least.

To think that one would get anything different from Rufus Akeju than what we got would have been asking too much from a man who has practically sold out whatever integrity he had on the altar of avarice.

Before the elections, major political parties in the state, except the APC, made representations to the INEC chairman on why Akeju should be redeployed from the state. They cited facts and evidence that he was,at a time, a former Personal Assistant to the APC National leader Senator Bola Tinubu and a card-carrying member of the All Progressive Congress.

However, professor Jega refused to budge not minding that similar allegations were made against him in Osun state which a court of law later substantiated. Jega held his ground indicating that the INEC boss might have had other motives in Oyo state rather than free and fair elections.

Today, we have the 2015 elections in Oyo state as the worst ever conducted in the annals of the pacesetter state. An election that was skewed,from the beginning, in favor of a party.

How Akeju and his co-conspirators manage to sleep at night without an iota of guilt should be worthy of study. A deliberate act was embarked upon by the INEC to subvert the will of the people of Oyo state through a fraudulent election. 

Aside the shoddy distribution of electoral materials and voting being allowed to run into the night in most places, particularly in the national elections,systematic fraud was executed in the governorship and Houses of Assembly elections that will bring tears to the eyes. ‎

These are acts would have been practically impossible to achieve without the intervention of top INEC officials in Oyo state.

It is sad that the law gives some sort of immunity to INEC officials who are quick to make public, election results that are crooked and ask the aggrieved to go to court. 

Should any of the parties involved in the Akeju-supervised charade-labeled-elections go to the election tribunal to challenge the processes and the results of the election, it would be a miracle for some INEC staff not to spend time in jail, with Rufus Akeju leading the Pack.

It is said that some people strengthen society through a purposeful life, the reverse is the case with the Oyo REC. Come to think of it, what can one possibly expect from a man of Akeju's age who goes about with a gold chain around his neck like a  love-vendor and a peddler of cheap narcotics ? A man so close to vanity will stop at nothing to sustain his vain life style.

Ambassador Rufus Akeju has truly left a mark everywhere the soles of his feet touch. One thing that distinguishes him from others is his desire to rig elections and subvert the will of the electorate for his paymaster whose boots he licks with so much vigor that one wonders why his Tongue is not black yet.

The truth is that some of the aggrieved will go to the tribunal and the treachery of Rufus Akeju the Oyo state Resident Electoral Commissioner against the people of Oyo state will be exposed.

My utmost wish is for the hijacker of the peoples' will to be joined in the suit with INEC, in his personal capacity, for knowingly manipulating the outcome of the results of the last elections, in favor of his party as evidences abound of his willful betrayal of the mandate entrusted to him to be an impartial umpire.

Oloyede Maculay writes from saki in Oyo state.

The wife of the newly elected governor of Oyo state, Mrs Florence Ajimobi on thursday, ordered her aides to beat a top civil servant in the ministry of establishment, who is also married to a Permanent secretary in the state to pulp.

Details of what transpired between Mrs Ajimobi and her victim is still hazy, it may however be a direct consequence of the hostility the Ajimobi's government is showing the civil servants in the state whom the governor is accusing of not voting for him.

Eye witness reported that the Governor's wife gave Mrs PS a few slaps before ordering her aides to make sure she lands in the hospital. Presently Mrs Perm sec is recuperating at the University Teaching Hospital in Ibadan.

More details as events unfolds.

Gen. Buhari has not told us what he would do. He is only saying "Change" "I will fight corruption" "I will fight Boko Haram". What SPECIFICALLY will he do and how? It is easier to criticize than to act. Every football watcher seems to know how to play ball better than Messi and Ronaldo!! But give him the ball, nah so so mouth!! Corruption in APC is far worse than PDP- at least we know all the corrupt present and former governors surrounding GMB. What will he do about the exchange rate they are using to campaign against PDP, when most of the world currencies have fallen against the dollar-Euro, Japanese yen, Cedi, Naira, Russian, S/Africa etc currencies. Google "global exchange rate - historical data" you will see that it cannot be Jonathan that has depreciated MOST of the world's currencies, it is due to GLOBAL ECONOMIC RECESSION made worse for ALL oil producing countries (Except Saudi Arabia) by fail in oil prices (from $130 to $53 now) it only shows that GMB and most of APC leaders don't know ANYTHING about monetary economics or are DELIBERATELY misleading the people. I believe In Jonathan than Buhari.

After what can be described as a traumatic and horrid governance style of the Ajimobi led APC government in Oyo state. Where almost all critical sectors of the state are suffering from severe neglect.

Senator Ajimobi is seeking to govern the state again beyond 2015, by giving out a pack of rice that is less than ten milk cups.

Am sure he thought that with this gift, the people will forget his many errors. What manner of "stomach infrastructure"

He has failed, and it is insulting to the intelligence and political sensibilities of the people to think he can persuade them to do the same mistake twice. Oyo vote wisely.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA! GOD BLESS NA

CityNG:
Thank you for providing a very hearty laugh.

First of all, your embassies abroad are eh laughing stock of the world and second yes it possible for foreigners to love Nigeria more than some looting Nigerians.

Get a grip and do some real work like providing healthcare, school and power.

Just as you love other tribes than urs. Nonsense

I hope APC will respond appropriately without insults.

In his village practising subsistence farming

op am so in agreement with u

Its shocking that Obj continues to ebarrass himself with his relentless attempt to portray GEJ as incompetent. For pete sake he should put a lid on it already.

If GEJ is deficient, OBJ is even more so for his lack of dicernment. If he had been more sagacious he would not have presented GEJ with the opportunity he now enjoys.

All ObJ is saying against the president is just because he has refused to dance to Baba's selfish tunes. GEJ is God's project like him or hate the will of God will manifest.

The reported trip to the United Kingdom by Governor Abiola Ajimobi just hours after the state capital was thrown into panic by his party members is most unfortunate to say the least “Under no circumstance should the Chief Security Officer of the state abdicate his major role and go on a leisure cruise abroad while Ibadan was literally burning. If this had been done by a PDP governor Lair Mohammed will be all over the place crying insensitivity

That Ajimobi thought it wise to travel a few hours after the mindless violence on leashed on the people by rival groups of APC that resulted in the death of a police inspector and serious injuries to some policemen and civilians is appalling.

With Rotimi Ameachi of the APC threatening unimaginable violence and parallel government if they fail to win at the centre,” one can not be surprised with what is happening in oyo state at the moment.

In another development an APC house of assembly member in Oyo state Ibrahim Bolomope representing Egbeda state constituency is currently been quizzed by the police for gun running. I fear APC is set to operate with instructions from the Boko Haram work book as 2015 approaches.

Can anyone tell me the relationship that exist between a person's age and his or her ability to lead well?
Is been youthful the most important leadership trait? how is it in Nigeria we are clamoring for youths to come take leadership positions when they have not presented themselves to receive political tutelage from the so called aging generations.

How many educated youths are members of political parties, and active at the ward, local, state and federal levels?

I am 41years old, am actively involved in politics in Oyo state, u will be amazed at the number of youths that are educated who actively participate in politics. very few. Am sure the same applies through out the country.

In my opinion the Nigerian youth is not ready for leadership positions, though they have excelled in other areas of human endeavor, however not in politics,

Political leadership is learnt, what you are thought in school is different from what obtains outside of campus. We need to understudy some of these leaders we are abusing at the moment. So we can earn their trust and commitment.

That's when power can be easily transferred from one generation to another. Nobody will just thrust leadership at you just because you are young, that u are a success in the banking, oil and gas or any field for that matter doesn't mean u will succeed in politics.

So my advise to all youth is to be actively involved in political activities. Under honest leaders. It is not the aged politicians that are preventing the youth, its the youth that is not ready.

Should the BRICS countries follow through, it will be a welcome development
