Dapo Isa goal

I know very well

Brother I just gun for the message

The messenger is an unrepentant Pdp apologist

When someone is a traitor this is what happens

Aro should chill

Party supremacy is above personal beliefs

Seriously personally Atiku has nothing to offer Nigeria

If truly he headed the privatization of Nigeria asset then and bought half of it sold half to cronies

Then he can’t tell me he loves this country

Any Pdp supporters hates Lai Mohammed

He’s a nightmare to there propaganda and lies

Minister of Information of Culture Alhaji Lai Mohammed yesterday described the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s victory in the House of Representatives by-election in Kwara State as the breaking of the Berlin Wall of the state’s politics.

Mohammed, the APC leader in Kwara State, was alluding to the dominance of the Saraki dynasty in the state.

Speaking at his country home of Oro during a victory rally organised by APC supporters, Mohammaed said: “It was the will of the people that prevailed. God has turned the seemingly political impregnability of Saraki’s dynasty to foolishness. APC is God-ordained for this state and the country.

“With this victory you have broken the Berlin Wall and same will repeat itself in 2019 elections.”

He added: “One thing I requested from President Muhammadu Buhari before I left Abuja for the election is the provision of adequate security before, during and after the election. And the security agents discharged their duties professionally.

“This accounted for the peaceful conduct of the election. I have been participating elections in this state since 2003, this has been one the most peaceful.



“Some PDP members were peddling rumours that I was going about with security agents to intimidate opponents. There is no truth in that.”

All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Raheem Olawuyi won the Ekiti/Irepodun/Isin/Oke-Ero Federal Constituency by-election.

Returning Officer Prof. Abimbola Adesoji announced at the Irepodun Local Government Secretariat in Omu-Aran, that Olawuyi polled 21, 236 to defeat his closest rival Saheed Damilare of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who polled 18, 095.

Other contestants in the election were Femi Ona-Ara of Labour Party, Ajadi Olayemi of Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) as well as Olaniyan Ayorinde of Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN).

Abimbola gave the total number of registered voters as 168, 707, accredited voters as 41,185, valid votes as 39,599, rejected votes as 1, 331 and votes cast as 40,930.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that some cancellations arising from snatching of ballot boxes and over voting were reportedly experienced in three polling units in Irepodun Local Government Area.

The affected units as listed by the Presiding Officer in charge of the council included Registration Area (RA) 02 of Esie-Ijan Ward where two ballot boxes were reportedly snatched and 955 number of registered voters lost.

Other areas were Oro Ward 1 RA 02, Polling Unit 01 where a case of ballot snatching was recorded and a total of 297 registered voters were affected and over voting in Oro Ward 2 RA 10 Polling Unit 01 with 474 registered votes lost.

Election cancellation was also recorded in Ile Apaasin RA 04 Polling Unit in Isin Local Government where only 59 voters were accredited but turned in 377 votes.



Some Independent National Electoral Officers were attacked and injured.

The declaration of the results was witnessed by notable officials, including the Kwara State Commissioner of Police, Mr Bolaji Fafowora, the state Resident Electoral Commissioner Malam Garuba Madami as well as his Imo and Lagos counterparts, Mr Emeka Nzeonu and Mr Sam Olumekun.

Party chairman Bashir Bolarinwa, governrship candidate Abdulrazak Abdulrahman, among others, hailed the process and the victory.

Olawuyi described his victory as one for the people.

Olawuyi said the success was a sign of more victories to come for the APC in the 2019 elections

“This is a happy moment for me because we have been doing this for a long time.

“When your time has come, no one can stop you but at the same time, I give glory to God, because it is the best time Allah has created for me.

“My party believed in me to put me forward for the assignment and I thank God I have delivered,” he said.

Olawuyi, who described his party as the best in Africa, said he was never scared of the opposition because he is a grassroots politician loved by his people.

He said because of the fact that his people loved him and followed him with passion, he would always defeat his opponents in a free and fair election.

Olawuyi said the state government’s statement that the election was between the PDP and the security agencies was laughable because it was what they were used to.

He is now sure of an APC victory in the state in the 2019 general elections because of the spirit the electorate have demonstrated.

Abdulrazaq said: “This victory represents a great leap in our people’s lifelong yearning for political freedom, good governance, development, accountability and integrity.

“It is the beginning of the end for characters who have held our dear state to ransom, characters who have made Kwara and its people the butt of national jokes!

“The outcome, more than anything else, asserts the fact that our people have had enough of the status quo. They are saying enough is enough and the time to move Kwara to the next level is now.

“As we savour this well preserved victory, we therefore urge our people to not relent as we head to the general election where, God willing, we will see to the end of a status quo that represents backwardness, corruption and disdain for socioeconomic advancement of the people and the state.

“One of the secrets of our success in this by-election is the suppression and almost total eradication of criminals and armed thugs hitherto used in rigging elections in Kwara. Kwarans will never forget the 31 lives lost in the Offa robbery; we will ensure that their lives were not lost in vain.

“We thank the security agencies for their efficiency and disciplined discharge of duties.

“We thank the electoral commission for conducting a free and fair election and resisting desperate attempts to subvert the rules and manipulate the poll. We urge these government agencies to keep up the good work.”

Igbo people made their choice the same way Yorubas made the choice to vote Buhari not Jonathan...Until 2019 reaches before you can start calling it a political miscalculation.

Regional politics is not good for any region

The Yoruba played it in second republic

They were left out of the federal politics

Seriously I love people of the southeast

That’s why o talked so much about them

God knows

But seriously i swear I hate Ipobs miscreants

With the political calculations power is to return to the south.

Southeast have been left out of the equation

Why ?


1) political miscalculation

(2) political confusion

(3) political blindness

(4) political blunder

With the return of democracy in 1999,

There was a gentleman agreement with the stakeholders also adopted by political parties and regional leaders

In this regards Obasanjo used the tenure of the south from 1999 to 2003

The power returned to the north Yar’adua (2007 to 2009 it was cut short with the sudden death of President Yar’adua

Power returned to the south again in 2009 President Gej From 2009 to 2015

In 2015 President Muhammadu Buhari Was elected with the present political permutations Buhari tenure ends by 2023 God willing


There is still time to remedy this if not

I see Osinbajo and El-Rufai In 2023 when power return south

Thank Gifford’s there families

Bolustical:
Yesterday's victory in Kwara was just for testing microphone. Party never start.

BTW, the 2019 election is already revealing the deceits of those who say they are not for anybody but are openly coded PDP members.

This is a patriotic statement

bounty007:
Now wey you don cancel the " trash" ..you don happy ba?
Why you no cancel picture join?

See as you be...

Oya go collect 30.000. And clap for your self..

We are not here to play

What happened in Kwara is testing the microphone

Lol


You better go back to your people

Northern and southwest is for baba and Osinbajo

Sai Baba All The way

OneManLegion:
I don't understand why El-Zakzaky is still detained in spite of the judicial pronouncements ordering his release. One of Buhari's failings is he has only continued the sad trend of undermining the institutions by our political class. Even if he's a good man and his intentions are pure, he has to bow to the orders of the courts in order to serve as a reference point to others that no single person is above the law.

It's unfortunate he missed this. Anyway, I still maintain that he is the better option than Oga Atiku. It also my hope that the incoming president will consolidate on his achievement and strive to be better at respecting the judiciary because the law is all we have, at the end of the day.

He’s the commander in Chief

He has security reports me and you don’t have access to

Stalwert:
Patriot, I salute you sure.

CAN should have demanded the release of all corruptionists.

I am back fully to deal with all enemies of the state


Buhari & Osinbajo 2023 is Divine

CAN and JNI are calamity to global peace

omis1:
as for me 2019 is all about moving away from this mediocre government of buhari not osibanjo nd obi.
as old as u are,u are still tribalistic,u a disgrace to urself nd d people that look upto u

Stop deceiving yourself

You are from Obi side

Likes on Nairaland does not translate to vote

The real voters are out there

You guys will be shock to the marrow

oilPUSSY:
It's definitely going to backfire..
Na look I dey look them..

Backfire?

What’s the total vote of your region?

Have you guys ever supported the southwest?

The way it backfired in 2015? Shay ?

Shayetet13:
Your hypocrisy stinks to high heavens. You are the person who opened a thread analysing Atiku's english after his plane was raided by security.

Uncle keep To your atikulation

I keep to mine

Politics is interest

It’s also choice

BafanaBafana:
Keep dreaming. Who dash pdp NC.
Atiku will win only one state in the north which is Taraba.

You know how it works

TarOrfeek:
I patiently wait for the mathematical inconsistencies that will see APC win the election.

A divided N
A whole SW

vs

A whole SE
A whole SS
A whole NC

If APC wins next year, this country will become an Islamic state.

Self delusion

That was why you guys hyped the Fulani herdsmen stuff high

I know it was politically motivated by pdp

Who said to you North is divided?

Northwest for your information will never cede power to NE

Buhari is seen as a unifying factor in the north only hate by the looters

Earthquake2:
Your English is very disastrous

The day you realized English is not your mother tongue that it’s just a language

That day will be the beginning of your deliverance

In 2015 Election The southeast And South South Never voted for Apc they cast there votes massively with high rigging for there preferred candidate Gej of pdp

Having said this the southwest were Osinbajo hailed from voted Pdp in some states even while there own is contesting


Immediately after the election Ipobs was given birth to just because they lost the election

All of a sudden they are now interested in unity of the country since there own son was picked by pdp


The question that I asked many is will the southwest trade there own ?

El Rufai is a foolish man

Did you also tell Buhari before you steal kaduna state money ?

Kaduna State Governor Nasir el-Rufai on Tuesday said he settled for Dr. Hadiza Balarabe, a fellow Muslim, as his running mate in the 2019 governorship election in the state because she is the right person for the job.

The governor, who received in audience the people of Sanga Local Government Area at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim Government House, Kaduna, who came to thank him for picking their daughter as his running mate, said he based his choice on competence and performance.


“Muslim-Muslim ticket is not a religious ticket but a competence and performance ticket,” the governor said.

Balarabe’s choice as el-Rufai’s running mate had generated criticism in the state.

But el-Rufai, while responding to critics, said before he picked Balarabe, he consulted President Muhammadu Buhari.


He said, “About a year ago, the Deputy Governor, Barnabas Bala, told me that he was going to contest the senatorial election, I was in a dilemma to get a replacement for him.

“So, we started with a list of people for consideration, and I had up to 32 names, including the names of some people seated with me here today.


“Then, we started selection and dropping names based on merit. From 32 names to 17 to 12 and then five, three males and two females.

“At that point, and as usual of us, when we are taking serious decisions, we consult President Muhammadu Buhari, because he is the only person I know that has worked in the army, he has been Governor, Minister and President.


“So, when I told him, he said anyone older than me should be dropped. Then one name was dropped, remaining two men and two women, then he said ‘since you are interested in a woman, pick the best woman’. That was how I picked Hadiza, because she was the best.”

The governor added that most of his Muslim-Muslim critics were those who did not vote for him in 2015.

He said, “The people that have criticised me most on this are people who never voted me in the first place. So, are they not supposed to be celebrating it. In their own opinion, I have made a wrong choice? Then, why are they mourning?”

I think that is his project

It’s on course

Nemesis001:
What's bad about what he preached

Buy enough data and watch and stop blabbing

Nemesis001:
You are jobless Sarrki, you need help.

Is the preaching ok or not ?

I say it boldly without mincing words

Nairaland of late are taking sides

Any news that degrade the Buhari led government is always aired

The one that says good about the government is confined to the background

It’s a forum and everyone should be able to air there views

My view though

The people commenting should be allowed as far as the rules are obeyed

SarkinYarki:
The only thing these Buharist know how to do is stoke ethnic and religious tension ..Buharism is The worst thing to happen to secular Nigeria

Keep quiet

Nonsense

Is that ok to preach?

If you didn’t believe Buhari or like him we are on diffyside Of divide

The temple should not be used to preach hatred

We are all human first

Are you not a Pdp supporter?

So what makes you better than others

The so called Glorified religious leaders need to Be cautioned

If this is in the north or southwest am sure that the press would have aired it including Nairaland
