This guy is a big disappointment
I used to like him because of his wonderful movies back then but he metamorphosed into something else the moment he joined politics.
So many of them that care less about ordinary people thinking it Will always be a smooth sailing for them with the influence of their godfather are now struggling with the reality
I don't see him winning his reelection.
Can one join a coven without sucking blood?

Definitely. But if I were him, I would receive the certificate first. Then when I assume office as COS, I resign the other.

Under the current APC govt, nothing, I repeat absolutely nothing would happen to Senator Lawal, the judiciary has been compromised.
We really need a new Nigeria, even if the start is rough, we need some sort of revolution, and it's sparking off. Mark my words, if the revolution happens fully, then people like Lawan will be one of the scapegoats.

Many of the so called politicians are after their pockets, like you rightly said, what if Tinubu is removed by the tribunal? He would be left jobless for a season, or go and bribe the judge just like wat the senate president did, when he lost the APC presidential Tickets, no election but he was given the ticket to run for Senate.
I am still thinking Lawal may face some lawsuit on that. Does not the electoral laws stipulate that you cannot contest two different elective positions the same season? He was in the presidential race, then senate. Nigeria has really gone to the cultists.

Insinuations are that Femi ignored his elective position for a promised COS position. But my question is, what if Tinubu is removed, what becomes of his position as a lawmaker?

Few days ago, I hailed Shekarau for rejecting his elective position to senate, even when he has been declared winner and some people said it's because he knows he may be removed eventually. I challenged them to point out any politician in Nigeria who ever did such.

Now, to drive home my talk, look at Chimaraoke Nnamani. PDP has written to INEC to withdraw him (which was Shekarau's situation). He has opportunity of not spending money on campagn and all but he is still campagning, and has been 'accused' of killing his former LP oponent. That is the typical greedy Nigerian politician. His mindset is, I will fight them in court, and meanwhile, I will remain a senator and be 'chopping'. That is how dark and ignoble our politicians are. That is what the new Nigeria wants to flush out.

JUST IN: After Rejecting House Of Reps Certificate Of Return, Gbajabiamila Get New Appointment

After Rejecting House Of Reps Certificate Of Return, Gbajabiamila Get New Appointment

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Femi Gbajabiamila is a leading candidate for the post of chief of staff to president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the next administration.
Gbajabiamila was conspicuously missing at the International Conference Centre (ICC), Abuja, on Wednesday when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) presented certificates of return to elected members of the 10th House of Representatives.

Gbajabiamila was re-elected to represent Surulere 1 federal constituency, Lagos, for the 6th Consecutive tenure during the February 25 presidential and National Assembly elections. He polled 19,717 votes to defeat his closest opponent, Bosun Jeje, of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) who scored 5,121 votes.

However, gathered that the speaker may eventually not represent his constituency in the 10th Assembly as he is likely to be considered for the position of chief of staff to the president-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the new government.

A source familiar with Gbajabiamila confirmed that the speaker, being one of Tinubu’s core loyalists and having worked with politicians from every federal constituency in Nigeria in the last 20 years, is more likely to be considered for the plum job.

When asked if Gbajabiamila will abandon his fresh mandate to pursue the chief-of-staff job in Tinubu’s government, the source said, “That is what we are hearing. If you notice, he didn’t come for his certificate of return on Wednesday. The truth is he doesn’t need that certificate; he has everything to function optimally as chief-of-staff to the president in the new government. He has worked with politicians in every federal constituency and across political divides in the last 20 years.”

When contacted, the special adviser to the speaker on media and publicity, Mr Lanre Lasisi, said his principal was not able to attend the presentation of the certificate ceremony. He, however, declined further comments on the matter.

“He was just not able to be in Abuja for the ceremony,” Lasisi said.

Gbajabiamila was first elected to the House of Representatives in 2003. Since then, he has won elections in the subsequent five election cycles. During his 20-year journey in the House of Representatives so far, Gbajabiamila served as minority whip, minority leader, and majority leader before he was elected as Speaker in 2019.

Senator representing Kano Central Senatorial district, Ibrahim Shekarau has insisted that he will not accept the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Senatorial seat.

The former governor was reacting to his declaration as winner of Kano Central Senatorial district on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party by the Independent National Electoral Commission after the February 25 presidential and parliamentary elections.

The former governor of Kano State who didn’t show up to receive the Certificate of Return issued to Senators-elect at the International Conference Centre, Abuja on Tuesday further clarifies that he has since left the NNPP.
His Media aide, Sule Y. Sule made the clarification to journalists on Wednesday that his principal wouldn’t collect the Certificate of Return.

“We have already made our position clear on the issue. Senator Shekarau is not interested and will not collect the certificate of return. As a matter of principles and personal conviction”, Sule said.

Recall that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC declared the former governor winner of the Senatorial election under the NNPP, following the February 25 by the Returning Officer in Kano.

ganisucks:
So INEC believed the allegations leveled against Doguwa, but chose to ignore those raised against Wike and APC Lagos. No, this isn't about the election. This is a witch-hunt.

The worst thing about this, is that the man he fought blood and sweat for: Tinubu, is yet to say anything about this. He is instead, going around brandishing his certificate for all to see, and calling it his world cup trophy. He hasn't made any moves whatsoever to broker peace between Doguwa and those forces moving against him. What a selfish old man.
It was an inec official who declared the result that reported he did it under duress, and the law stipulates such should be thrown out. He has not offended anyone but God and Nigerians. His actions were rather too brazen for his godfathers to come and support him openly.
