Hahahahah!!!

Amaechi would have borrowed a trillion if in Wike's shoes.

Bayelsans will forever be grateful to you for creating that wonderful state that produced one of the best President in Africa.


RIP

Just like in the nearest future Lagos and the entire SW will be dominated by PDP

Somebody should wake me up when N1=$1.!!

Bollove:
Saraki is a pain in their ass and there is one person in this country that is very tough politically even beyond Amaechi and That is Bukola Saraki.

What of Tambuwal's case in the House of Rep last year before the elections?

Electricity consumers across the
country who are on estimated
billing are to pay lesser than their
counterparts who have been
provided with meters, the Nigerian
Electricity Regulatory Commission
has said.
The Chairman of NERC, Dr. Sam
Amadi, who said this in Abuja at a
press briefing in Abuja on Tuesday,
said a new regulation was coming
to compel electricity distribution
companies to provide meters for all
their customers within four months
or accept a cap on what they could
charge as estimated bills.
Amadi said after four months of
moratorium, the firms would not be
able to charge such consumers
beyond what would be prescribed
according to the region or zone
where the customer was based.
According to him, the ceiling of the
tariff, which a customer on
estimated billing can pay, is an
incentive for the distribution firms
to metre call customers, adding that
the capped tariff would be
significantly lower than what metred
customers pay.
The NERC boss said after 16
months, customers of a distribution
company who had not been metred
would be freed from paying any
tariff at all until they were provided
with meters.
He said, “In view of the Discos’
negative attitude to metering, an
option worth considering to
incentivise metering is to place a
limit on the ability of a Disco to
arbitrarily estimate consumers who
are not metered.
“This has the tendency of
encouraging the Discos to
accelerate the implementation of
metering plans that have been
talked about but not implemented
before privatisation and after taking
over the management of the
Discos.”
Amadi added, “The commission has
chosen to issue an order setting the
cap but with an effective
implementation date after a
moratorium of four months to allow
the distribution companies to
appropriately adjust their metering
programmes.
“All estimates being imposed by the
Discos within the moratorium period
shall be strictly based on the
commission’s billing estimation
methodology. As soon as the
capping regulation commences, the
extant regulation on estimation
methodology will be vacated.
“Metering is a critical component of
the business of electricity. It serves
as the only parameter for
quantifying energy delivered and
energy utilised by the supplier and
consumer respectively.”

If electricity problems could be solved in this country, Nigeria will be a great nation.

Good one

As a Chartered Chemist, I think I love this appointment.

This is one of the many fruits of propaganda. It is yielding its bountiful harvest.

augster:
I really dunno Saraki's problem.

He does not have any problem

In the right direction. Nigerians are tired of estimated bills since time immemorial

What do you expect when a judge presides over his own case?

The saibaba group will say "give us more time, after all GEJ didn't declare his. "

I really don't know why Nigerians
and politicians are acting like this.
Very hypocritical and selfish, filled
with so much propaganda and
hatred. Just not too long ago, a
speaker in the House of
Representative emerges against
party's opinion. Most people
celebrated that as a victory for
democracy. So why are they not
celebrating now that Saraki
emerges outside party's opinions?
I am reacting based on the recent development which shows that many people from a section of the country are highly pained because of the Saraki issue. This is very obvious on many news coming from Sahara Reporters.

The All Progressives Congress (APC)
bridge of change is gradually
undergoing avoidable turbulence at
the federal level and nobody seems
to be in control at the centre except
one, two or three ambitious
northerners camouflaging individual
interests as those of the entire
country. And without equivocation,
the avoidable leadership squabble in
the National Assembly must have
emanated from the antics of these
men who have stayed long enough in
the corridors of have now forgotten
that they have nothing more to
contribute to the country but trouble.
The unraveling power game, though
unnecessary, is a testimony to the
need for the altruistic leadership of
the ruling party to think deeply now
about how to rescue the party from
imminent perdition from inordinately
ambitious members. And the sad
truth is that the buck stops on
President Muhammadu Buhari’s table
as leader of the party; he must do
something to guarantee party
supremacy that governors under the
platform are demanding.
Now that the party with the ‘change’
mantra has mounted the saddle, what
Nigerians are being subjected to is
another theatre of the absurd as
senators’ and Reps are in leadership
contest. The man at the heart of the
bout is Dr Bukola Saraki who won the
Senate Presidency through
subterfuge in an election that
deliberately ensured that half of
senators were disenfranchised.
This development has kept mouths
agape while pundits are wondering if
the defiance to party order by Saraki
was not without the backing of
powerful elements within the fold.
Saraki had gone ahead to defy the
party on the list of other principal
officers of the red chamber. Speaker
Dogara equally played the Saraki
game in the appointment of principal
officers for the House of
Representatives.

APC never voted for Dr. Saraki and Sent. Dogora. You guys cannot eat your cake and have it. What goes around comes around. Law of Karma.

Most Rivers people will not key into this

Interesting times are here.!

This is a democratic coup de tat by PDP!!! Good thinking!! Good product

This really got me laughing my heart out. Maybe it is a democratic coup!!!

Lalasticlala! Does this merit a FP?

Dollyak:
If true, then Saraki is a political prostitute

Nigerian politicians have always been like this, devoid of political and sound leadership idealogies!

The Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) said it has adopted Senator
Bukola Saraki for the position of
Senate President in the National
Assembly leadership election to be
held today.
In the same vein, the PDP said it
has adopted Hon. Yakubu Dogara
for the position of the Speaker of
the House of Representatives.
In a statement by National
Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh,
the party urged its senators and
members-elect in the House of
Representatives to support its
candidates.
It said,” The party therefore urges
its senators and members-elect in
the National Assembly to act
accordingly.”

Wike will be like "I think I told you "!!

jorlons:
The earlier APC shows him the exit door the better the party will be for it. This guy has divisive antecedents and is most likely going to turn out as a traitor in the long run. His traits as a former PDP politician are beginning to re-surface.

The earlier the leadership of APC lets go of him the better. It's not a must for APC to control both houses. They should keep him at arms length henceforth.

He is a traitor like Amaevhi, my ex gov

This is certainly a glaring truth thrown to the face of the bearer. Vice and deputies are mere houseboys to their boss. This will be a bitter pill to swallow more especially if he is a Prof. it would not have meant much if it was ordinary person rising to that level of a VP, but as a Prof and moreso from a region with much ego, propaganda and bigotry, I think it means a lot.
My opinion though!

I did not read the entire epistle but I know the following words must be in the story.
1 Monumental
2Epic
3Cluelessness
4. Colossal
5. etc

The reason? People from those region love thos words, eg Lai Mohammed, Prof Wole Soyinka, Tinubu,

I am a TAN advocate, however, I sincerely wish Buhari succeed in delivering the dividends of democracy to Nigerians. This is so because if Buhari fails, we all will suffer. If he wins, we all win.!!!
