Bit we ain't seeing the money


This time around the money is being shared by those in power,its not even circulating


Mtcchew

That era of emergency millionaires are over

Bye bye to looting

CharleyBright:
This Buhari govt to save?
Wetin concern agbero with overload?
A Buhari govt that got billions of naira from Swizz refunds and was talking about sharing it (or is it loot) to his almajiris, then going cap in hand to beg for about the same amount as loan from foreign countries.
If no be mumu, what do u call that?
A govt that knows nothing about proper planning and management will definitely plunge into recession even with abundance.

Your state Governor received from it


He used it to pay salaries and sponsor Nnamdi Kanu

It’s an abomination and a taboo for pdp to rule our land

• PDP for court today

• PDP agents ‘cloning PVCs’

• INEC is right, say SANs

HOUSE of Representatives Deputy Speaker Yussuff Lasun yesterday joined the battle to ensure victory for All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate Gboyega Oyetola in tomorrow’s supplementary governorship election in Osun State.

The APC lost in Orolu Local Government Area, which is believed to be Lasun’s stronghold. He is known to be aggrieved with APC leaders.

The supplementary election will hold in three units in the local government due to cancellation over hijacking of materials by thugs.

There are 987 registered voters in the three units.

Also joining forces with the APC is Social Democratic Party (SDP) candidate Senator Iyiola Omisore.

The election will determine the winner between Oyetola and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Ademola Adeleke.

Saturday’s election was declared inconclusive by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) which ordered the supplementary election in seven polling units in four local governments – Osogbo, Orolu, Ife North and Ife South.

There are 3, 498 registered voters in the polling units where the elections were cancelled due to various reasons, including hijacking of election materials, abscondment of presiding officer, disruption of election by hoodlums who were shooting sporadically, manual accreditation and over voting.

The supplementary election is a straight fight between Oyetola and Adeleke.

Adeleke has a marginal 353 votes advantage in the election in which Omisore finished third.

Omisore hosted an APC delegation of Ekiti State Governor-elect Dr Kayode Fayemi and Dr Olu Agunloye at his home in Ile-Ife.

On Monday, he received Senate President Bokola Saraki, who came to lobby him to support the PDP.

Omisore, who left the PDP for the SDP because the PDP ticket was skewed in favour of Adeleke, declined to give Saraki his commitment.

But after his meeting with the APC team, Omisore twitted under a photograph of himself with Fayemi and Agunloye: “With @OfficialAPCNg Ekiti state governor elect @kfayemi during his visit today. #goodgovernanceinosunstate #OsunDecides2018.”

In another tweet, Saraki Presidential Campaign Council spokesman Doyin Okupe said: “Omisore I’m told caved in to pressure from APC…”

It was learnt that Omisore, whose dad is the traditional ruler of Olode in Ife South where the election will hold in unit 07, 012 Adereti village with 812 registered voters, joined the APC for a campaign yesterday.

Also yesterday, the police confirmed the arrest of three people for allegedly buying Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and breach of the public peace.

The suspects, Alhaji Fatai Diekola, 61, Sikiru Lawal, 54 and Adekilekun Segun, 54, were arrested on Monday at Adewale Street, Alekuwodo area, Osogbo.

Spokesperson for the Osun State Police Command Folasade Odoro, a Superintendent (SP), said the suspects were arrested by the teams drafted to the state for election duties.

Odoro said: “The three suspects were arrested at Adewale Street, Alekuwodo area, Osogbo at one of the polling units where a re-run election is scheduled to take place on Thursday, September 27.

“They were said to be soliciting to buy additional PVCs from one Olawale Kazeem of 4B, Adewale Street, Alekuwodo area, Osogbo and Azeez Sulaiman of 3A, Akinlade Street, Alekuwodo. It was gathered that when the duo declined to sell their PVCs, they were allegedly attacked by the supporters of the suspects.

“However, timely intervention of the police operatives led to the arrest of the three suspects after they were attacked and wounded by the mob. “However, the wounded were taken to the Police Hospital for medical treatment and currently assisting the police in investigation into the crime and the recovery of the PVCs alleged to have been bought from other people in Osun State. The outcome of the investigation will definitely be made public.

“In the meantime, the Nigeria Police Force is assuring the good people of Osun State and other critical stakeholders of its renewed commitment and resolve to ensure adequate security for a free and fair re-run election as announced by INEC in Osun State.

“Members of the public are however advised to desist from any action that may elicit violence as any person arrested will be made to face the full wrath of the law.”

The brickbats continued yesterday between the APC and the PDP over the Osun State governorship election.

The governor-elect will emerge tomorrow after the supplementary election in seven units in four local governments.

The PDP plans to file a suit today on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s declaration of Saturday’s election as inconclusive.

But the APC Campaign Council urged voters in the areas where the supplementary election will hold to ignore the “ranting’’ of the PDP and turn out en masse to vote for the ruling party.”

The Chairman of the Council’s Media Committee, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said the PDP’s threat to challenge in court INEC’s declaration of Saturday’s election as inconclusive was “ nothing but sheer bravado’’.

Mohammed said the threat was because the opposition party was afraid of losing the rerun.

The chairman, who said the PDP might also have contrived the court threat as a way of distracting the APC and its members ahead of the rerun, called the strategy “dead on arrival”.

”The PDP knows that the so-called court challenge which it has threatened to mount will not fly, especially because the highest court in the land has already pronounced on the issue of whether or not INEC has the powers to declare an election inconclusive.

”The PDP is not unaware of the pronouncement of the Supreme Court in the case of James Abiodun Faleke Vs INEC and others.

“The apex court held that INEC has the duty of conducting elections and that, besides the constitutional provisions, it is guided by the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) and the Election Guidelines and Manual issued for its officials in accordance with the Act,” he said.

Mohammed said that since the PDP had boasted that its candidate would win if the Osun Governorship Election was conducted over and over again, the party “ should stop being jittery and put its money where its mouth is by willingly participating in the rerun.’’

He, however, said that if the PDP chose to boycott tomorrow’s rerun out of fear, the party’s right to do so would be respected.

”The PDP, after its failed mission to win Saturday’s election at all cost, is shopping for an illegal shortcut to victory by threatening a court action over an issue that has been settled.

“It’s a sheer waste of time. Let the PDP drop its pretension and get ready to be defeated in Thursday’s rerun.

“Alternatively, it can withdraw to save face,” the chairman said.

The APC also accused the PDP of cloning Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) with the intention of using them to rig the rerun election.

The statement said: “The APC has received fresh reports from our field agents on the ongoing cloning of PVCs by PDP agents. We view this development as bizarre and a sign of the desperation of the PDP to takeover Osun State by all illegal means.

“While we call on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to urgently investigate the development and promptly arrest persons behind the cloning, we strongly advise INEC to ensure that its voters’ register is not tampered with.

“Also, we call on INEC and security agencies to speak publicly on measures being taken to stop the ongoing vote buying by PDP agents, which has become widespread in the state.

The APC called for calm in the face of the already tense situation caused by the alleged PDP’s rigging plot.

“The Osun electorate must remain alert and resist any plot to subvert the people’s will and manipulate the rerun election.

“Commendably, the police already have in its custody a PDP stalwart who led other PDP leaders to buy up voters’ cards ahead of Thursday’s governorship rerun. There, however, remains much to be done to ensure the credibility of the forthcoming rerun election.”

Spokesman of the party in Osun State Kunle Oyatomi, said tomorrow’s supplementary poll “cannot be bought”.

In a statement, he said: “Sen Ademola Adeleke can’t win on the popular votes. First, he is the least educated and qualified candidate Osun has ever raised in its history of political contest.

“The fraud that brought him to this lever (manipulation of card readers and purchase of the PVC of ill-informed voters) that we are now discussing him as a potential governor, marks us as essentially an illiterate and backward democracy.

“Such a person should not have qualified to be taken as ‘O’YES Cadet.

‘The PDP and Adeleke family would be disappointed on Thursday.

Kennydoc:
I feel for you sha. I never imagined you'd be in this situation after Osun election. I can only imagine the kind of cyber insults, mockery, bullying, humiliation etc you would have been dishing out on PDP members if the election had gone the other way. Chai! I guess it will breed some humility in you and your ilks as we await 2019 election. Now you know that "Buhari's victory" is far from being a certainty like you guys had been insisting. The quietness of Sarrki, deomelo, NgeneUkwenu, CilicMarin and other BMC members is a big delight to me. I pray you guys will be silenced like this after 2019 election, AMEN!!!

Keep shut
Your party pdp is rejected by God and Humanity

*Tinubu should put his hears to the ground

* The pranks is getting much and people are losing interest already!

* Sanwo-olu won't win the heart of the masses

* one tenure would do Lagos state more bad than good




The rift is going a direction we patriot don't want. We all want a better Lagos where every Lagosian enjoys the dividend of democracy.
A true patriot, ready to listen always. No wonder he's well respected and followed! Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a leader and we respect him without remnants. He is indeed someone every leader should look forward to.
I implore Jagaban to keep his ears to the ground and hear the cries of the masses. Just with an online poll, 60% of Lagosians wants Ambode to continue a second term in office! Bringing someone new to the polity now won't do the party any good during the forth coming general election!

I make my consultations everyday and I can assure you (Asiwaju) that the polity is getting tense! People have started saying different things about the whole issue. Tinubu should know that people are getting the picture of the whole thing by the day! He should know by now that irrespective of his motive with this matter, the masses are solidly behind Ambode!
You can't force anyone down the throat of Lagosians, they have full orientation!

Conduct an online poll today and see how many people would vote in their masses for Ambode. Forget the endorsement by some group of people, the true political power belongs to the people!

I really still can't wrap my heads around what is going on in the in caucus, but I want to assure you that I know what the populace are thinking!


Sir, the Yoruba people would say "eniti o ba month ibi ti oro nlo, ota oloro ni ooo". You and I know Ambode would never be anything without you Jagaban, but he has rose to become something and now enjoys the mandate of the people of Lagos.
Let me give you a permutation sir!

Imagine Sanwo olu is choiced at the primaries, yet Ambode accepts his defeats. He dances to the tune till it is just 2weeks to the election whn you and the Lawmakers won't be able to impeach him anymore. Then he starts the anti party rage and supports his kinsman who may bear the flag of lagos PDP(otedola). Oga Ambode to some extent has the lagos polics force chapter command on him. He could still use the power of incumbent to influence the results! This will serve a big blow on us who won't for anything change the directions of our political might.

On nairaland, a true patriot I have been following anonymously for long also couldn't forge ahaed again, Sarrki just dropped his guards and.......
Sir, thay is not even the issue... I'm so concerned about your political empire that would be drastically affected if Lagos should snatched away!

I really don't want to say much, I just hope the right thing is done immediately and Ambode is allowed to sail through to save the face of APC that couldn't be saved in Osun, we all know Osun is long gone!
Maybe you don't know Oyo state people too are seriously not happy with uncle isiaka who allowed some people with 'carton crown' disrespect the great monarch of ibadan (olubadan).

Sir, you can put your own house in order still! I'm sure you know how close lagos governorship polls has been over the years even since 1999, pdp are always close, but this time........

Sir forgive my harsh words, im a patriot and love my state! I really don't want it go backward!

No matter what, APC should try again next time. PDP all the way.

South East especially Abia and IMO should key into this revolution. Ekiti and Osun election has made us to understand that SW are ready to cleanse their States off bad leadership no matter the Party, This has already sent a stern message to other SW state government that if you don't work, you will be voted out and this will force their government to be up and doing.

Abia must Liberate himself from PDP into APGA while IMO must Liberate himself from APC into PDP

You kind of sound patriotic in your submission

But Ade the dancer is not the right choice for osun

Oyetola is Good

•He was attacked, says Adeleke

There was tension in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, yesterday as members of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) clashed over an alleged plot by the PDP to buy up Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of Thursday’s governorship election rerun in four council areas.

The police are holding a PDP stalwart, Fatai Oyedele, popularly known as Diekola. He was said to have led some leaders of his party to Ward 5, Unit 17 in Alekuwodo to buy up cards, but the PDP said he was canvassing for votes.



Agents and leaders of the APC and the PDP were in the area to woo would-be voters, an eyewitness said, adding that there was a misunderstanding that led to a clash.

The incident could not be confirmed from the Police as the cell phone of the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Command, Folashade Odoro, was switched off.

But APC Spokesman Kunle Oyatomi denied that the party’s supporters were involved in any clash. Oyedele was caught in possession of 62 PVCs, he claimed.

Oyatomi said: “There was nothing like thugs attacking anybody. That is absolute nonsense. We don’t have thugs. He was caught with PVCs and the Civil Defence officials arrested him.”

The Director, Media and Publicity, Ademola Adeleke Campaign Organisation, Mr. Olawale Rasheed, said that not only was Oyedele attacked by the “APC thugs, also scores of supporters of the PDP in the areas where the rerun election will be held on Thursday were attacked”.

Rasheed called on security agents to forestall further attempts to attack the PDP leaders and supporters to stop the party from winning Thursday’s rerun.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Sunday declared Saturday’s governorship election inconclusive due to irregularities.

The commission announced Thursday for the rerun

The PDP and the APC are the top contenders in the election.

The APC candidate Gboyega Oyetola has said the arrest of the PDP chieftain has confirmed the general opinion that PDP was out to subvert the will of the people.



The Oyetola Campaign Organisation, in a statement in Osogbo, alleged that the PDP chieftain and two other officials led thugs to the controversial polling unit in Ward 5 Osogbo, an action that led to the cancellation of the election in the ward. The result, it said, was rejected due to the difference between the result and the card reader’s record.

The statement reads: “We are vindicated today that the security agents finally nabbed one of the PDP vote buying and selling dealers, who has been the Harrowhead of procurement and commodification of Permanent Voters Card (PVC). We had expressed concern to the security agents about the violent posture of the PDP and the way they were monetising votes before and during the last Saturday election.

“Despite the commitment of President Muhammad Buhari and Governor Rauf Aregbesola to ensuring that the election is peaceful and devoid of any violence, the same set of people arrested have been attacking APC members in Osogbo, the state capital and openly distributing money even on the eve of election.”

The organisation claimed that on Saturday night, the PDP chiefs invaded a coalition centre in Ward 5 Osogbo and forced the APC and other party agents to sign a doctored result that was later rejected at the local government coalition centre. “This singular action substantially contributed to the inclusiveness of the election that will cost the INEC, Security agents and political party a lot of resources,” it said.

“To us, APC government as acknowledged by the local and international observers has provided a level playing ground for the free, fear and transparent election in Osun and peoples must not allow to subvert the popular will of the people.”

“ As a candidate in this election, we wish to state clearly that the arrest of Diekola is one out of PDP hundreds agents and dealers purchasing voters card in all the affected units in Ife South, Ife North, Orolu and Osogbo local governments.”

“While we commend the police for the arrest, we urg them and other security agents to be on alert to prevent individuals who are hell bent on subverting the will of the people, and demand that the police must investigate Diekola thoroughly and prosecute any individual connected to the criminality, no matter how highly placed in the society.”

“This election is about the future of the state and no matter any interest , the popular wish of the majority must be protected; the choice of the people must emerge, that is the very essence of democracy.”

PDP spokesman Diran Odeyemi denied that Diekola collected voter cards. He said the PDP chief had gone to the area to seek votes for the party’s candidate when thugs descended on him.

“Let the police show proof that he was arrested with the cards”, he said, adding that the action was to intimidate PDP supporters
