There would be an extension to change of candidates' names.it would be better for the party to reconduct a aprimary that wud produce olusola oke as the party's candidate.

So until olusola Oke wins the primaries, APC can't win in Ondo.

yaqq:
Oyegun is a corrupt leader....... He imposed Bello on Kogi just cos of money.

Do you have evidence of Oyegun collecting money to impose Bello.

More so, the decision of oyegun to pick bello have been upheld by the supreme court


If Ondo election is to be re- conducted as recommended! That means APC won't have aa candidate for Ondo governorship race cos deadline for submission was 21st sept and the appeal panel gave it's verdict on 19th sept.
So when will the election hold to meet up with INEC deadline.

More reasons Oyegun took that decision which won't go down with those who don't want APC to field Akeredolu as they prefer not having candidate than having aketi.

Same Tambuwal that ensured Dongara became speaker against the candidate Of Tinubu who happened to be Gbajabiamila.


These Northern guys sabi politics ooooo.
Dem go dey bite you dey blow you breeze.
Chaaii!! See as them dey turn a whole Tinubu to Hausa slippers wey dem dey wear go toilet.



They only want to pacify Tinubu to calm him down while they destroy him finally cos same Ondo politics will play out in Ekiti and Tinubu will be left with only Osun and part of lagos since the lagos votes has defied tinubu influence unlike before.

It's not when Tinubu is loosing out that we the SW should now be thinking of realigning.

As much as I did not vote PMB cos of Tinubu, I should not consider my stance cos Tinubu seems to be loosing out in the alliance.

He should not draw SW into his travail.

Did he consider SW when He went into alliance with the northern people ?


Was he warned by some Yoruba elders about this alliance.?

What response did he give to them then.

Same Yoruba including some of us clamoring now discredited afenifere, Yoruba council of elders and other yoruba social cultural groups when they warned Tinubu to ensure he does not use his influence to sell Yoruba cheaply cos he wanted power at all cost.

I remember then that same yoruba people began to cast aspersions on the elders by calling them all sorts of names cos of politics.

Now! The chips are down, the die is cast and the Tinubu's camp who called the blurf of the Yoruba elders now want to draw emotions from them and the SW to fight PMB and The north .
Nah!!!! It won't happen.

Let him face the consequence of his actions

Few months back on some social media, I was asking some salient questions like :

why did Tinubu keep mute on struggle of federalism

What happen to those agitation about state police and rightful position of the SW.

He had boast that should APC win! They will implement all these and many more.

Is it not funny that while @OP wants to impress a message to the northern people, he kept discrediting the yoruba's the more like Fayemi, fashlola, Amosun, ajimobi and others.

This to me is damaging control and another sell out cos you need to pass a message

I don't play ethnic politics but won't allow anyone to cast aspersions on the SW neither .



Tinubu does not own SW.
He is never the leader of the SW aand can't dictate our pendulum.

When he is down and done with, SW can't be down with him.

Hmmmmm!!!!

@OP

I don't think any sane Yoruba from core SW will buy those media emotional appeals from the tinubu camp.

I did predicted some days ago, that the Tinubu's camp will launch some media wars against PMB ministers to draw some emotional support while discrediting his perceived enemies.

Tinubu should note that SW does not belong to him and he can't dictate how and where our pendulum will swing.

The era of Imposition is gone.

SW wont depend on his direction to know the way forward.

In as much as Jubril is aa member of the house! He must subject himself to the rules and ethics of the house where he was part of the members that gave nods to committees of the house.

The ethic committee is like every other house committee just like the appropriation committee Jubril held then.

The house mandated the committee to investigate the allegations and Jubril is not greater than the house
He can't dictate for the committee on how to sit and where to sit.
Even when he held sway as committee chairman! He did not conduct his own hearings in the public.

Same jubriil was on TV then saying the budget was never padded! He blackmailed PMB for failing to sign the budget and defended dongara with his drop on all issues including his speakership position.

If he has aa personal issue with dongara, he should not make it official.
If he is not satisfied with the Outcome of the committee decision, he can take them to court .
He has done the needful by submitting evidences of padding to EFCc, police, DSS and others, these agencies are not court, he should allow them do their job if truly this govt is willing to fight corruption.
Sadly! PMB has said he NEVER signed a padded budget and this settles it all.

He is the one that raised allegations, he should equally go and defend it .

Hence, he will become social media legislator when he get suspended by the whole house including those that pushed him to fight the institution that made him.

Another sinner who is under trial for corruption and embezzlement has finally seen the light as his defection to APC means he is now a saint.

Watch out how the APC apologist will defend him and claimed his trial was orchestrated by past administration to blackmail him.

He will be seen too be dinning with PMB and they will raise up the once upon a time filthy hands as Holy hands while they deceive the gullible .
Watch how the corruption trial will be thrown out after some legal abacraadabra.

Just the regular noise from the EFCC and their empty threat with shabby and hasty cum untidy investigation that will finally kill the case in the court.

By now! EFCC should be counting the numbers of corrupt Nigerians that have been jailed through their investigations but alas! It's the usual pattern of newspaper conviction


EFCC should have followed same pattern by arresting madam patience just as They have done for other cases but their singular act of doling threats why madam patience equally do her own threat shows the case is gonna end in a showbiz

These guys have finally displayed their level of mental slavery.
What a shameless talk and threat from people whom I expect to hold their own people accountable for the indiscriminate and wanton looting of their resources by their own.

The type of threat I expect is for them to tell FG to equally probe those within their circles who have been linked to corruption and are shielded hence, they will be force to act otherwise in a more legal way

Some people No get shame at all .
No thanks to FG who have lost trust with the people with its flagrant display of partisanship in the fight against corrupt people

Vanguard newspaper just helped PMB to pass the message in the way he best understand since we are told PMB loves carton so much

This will catch his attention more than a lengthy article that his aides will hide from him.

afroniger:


As an outsider I will like to ask you this and please answer in all sincerity. If indeed the delegates list were truly tampered with and there's evidence to prove that, what do you suggest should be done? Would you consider that fair to other candidates of the election and that it should be swept under the carpet? Forget Tinubu for a minute.

There should be substantial evidence to prove that the list of the delegates was tampered with.
Moreso! Those involved should be dealt with if truly it was doctored.

Note that there is no perfect process of election.
The only reason the election could be cancelled is a proof to show that those delegates alleged to have being doctored would have change the outcome of the election to make it substantial enough.

Evidence must abound that those who were smuggled as delegates did vote for a particular candidates.

What if the doctored delegates did vote for the man who raise complain to the panel.?

I doubt if there will be evidence to show that any doctored delegates votes could be traced to any of the contestant since its secret ballot voting except the delegate want to implicate himself as getting involve in malpractices and that could earn him or her a jail for criminal offence
Despite evidences of malpractices! If such is not substantial to decide the outcome of an election, such election still stand and could pass for being fair in the eyes of the law.

Good aft

babyfaceafrica:
did u see the primary results..if aketi no do well..he will lose even in APC strongholds...

I watched the primary and so far, the process is fair

If Aketi lost, note that he is representing APC and that means it's APC that lost the election and they have lost a state then.
All parties involve should close ranks and support who has emerged.
That's the spirit of sportsmanship in politics

Flyingngel:
I remember in one of Tinubu open letter that it is not every fight that he wins. If that his statement is a anything to go by then he shld have move on.

He doesn't own the entire yoruba land except the yoruba's accept that.

Nice thought.
In politics, you loose some, you gain some.

bcomputer101:
APC can't afford to loose in Ondo State.
So Akeredolu is not marketable.
We need somebody who is love by Ondo indigine.
Somebody who can hold Mimiko by his balls.


We want OLUSEGUN ABRAHAM...
@OP, come to Ondo state and ask everybody on street who dey want as dere next governor.

If APC cannot give us either OLUSEGUN ABRAHAM or OLUSOLA OKE, dey should forget it.

i thought some folks said Tinubu supported Aketi by decoy

How come we are having skirmishes after the primaries.
How come Tinubu is yet to come to terms with the outcome of the primaries

How come Tinubu supported same candidate you claim was not marketable in 2012.

It's not compulsory it should be Abraham or olusola, whoever the party through its delegates picked becomes the party 's choice.
This is APC and not ACN where the choice of one man becomes the choice of every party members by force.
Good morning

babyfaceafrica:
let the person who fund his primary,help him win election then,let them leave tinubu alone

Did Tinubu complain to you that they are disturbing him

In politics, we only have permanent interest.
If a tinubu could support GEJ in 2011 and later kicked against him in 2015 shows these politicians need one another to protect their interest.

The idea of reaching out to every party leaders and candidates after the election is a norm in politics.
The choice is left for Tinubu to accept the overtures and give his own conditions for support or reject it.
That does not mean Aketi won't win or loose with or without Tinubu.
2012 have proved that with Tinubu, he dd not win, let him reach out to the people of Ondo who are the determinant of his ambition.
The idea of making a tin god out of a single man should be condemn in totality.
Every candidate could reach out to party leaders for supports but should never make such leaders a sole determinant of his or her political career.
Good morning

bolinxman:
I'm from Ondo State,Tinubu influence is not all about financial aspect,but he has the needed political foot soldiers within Ondo state that will make Aketi's political aspiration a mirage,he needs to beg him. Aketi's attitudinal dispositions and his unguided utterances before the primary election has revealed that he is an ingrate.

There you go again, making a tin god out of tinubu. How come his foot solders did not ensure victory for his candidate in the primaries.
How come same men could not ensure victory for Aketi in 2012 when Tinubu was fully in charge of Aketi.
I think we must understand the fact that law of diminishing returns will always set in for any system be it political or otherwise.
You can't have it all every time.
APC now have so many interest and Tinubu interest is one out of many.
I don't understand why an Aketi should go and BEG a tinubu before he can succeed.
Haba! When are we gonna be free of godfatherism.
I am sure Mimiko begged Tinubu before he won his own election.
We as young minds should seek for a system that will promote mentorship to godfatherism so that the system won't be control by one man and the whole state or nation will be at his mercy.
Good morning

babyfaceafrica:
aketi played local politics,but election is a different ball game...I doubt if aketi can fund an mobilise to win,primary election is different

Yes I agree that Aketi needs cool cash to run the main election!
Have we wondered to know those who funded the primaries for him to beat the candidate of Tinubu.

Politics is about interest and those who have interest in him could finance his election in as much as their interest will be protected.
No be only tinubu get money to spend for election.

Mynd44:

Elections are won using structures and finances everywhere in the world. Tinubu has both.

Well greased structures that are waiting to be activated media guys, social media people just waiting for instructions and money to spend on campaign materials for media etc

Akeredolu does not have these. It is also what differentiates those times Buhari lost to when he lost to when he won.

Same reason why a relatively unknown Ambode won Jimi Agbaje.
Reason why Fashola won Obanikoro
Reason why Ribadu lost Adamawa
Etc.

How come Tinubu can't use same structure and finances to ensure victory for his candidate (Segun Abraham)

Note that in politics! What Aketi is doing to reach out to all leaders of APC is normal and even if Tinubu refused, same people who finance Aketi will eventually bankroll his election.
It's normal to make overtures to even your political enemies.

In view of the economic situation in the country, Muslims in Nigeria have been reminded that the slaughter of livestock especially, rams during Islamic festivity of Eid-Adha is not compulsory according to Islamic injunctions.

An Islamic Scholar, Imam Abdulhameed Shuaib Agaka told Economic Confidential that the sacrificial ram for Sallah celebration is permissible but not obligatory compared to the five pillars of Islam.

He said: “Considering the current economic situation, Muslims should prioritize their need and ensure they provide basic necessities for the family, especially accommodation, feeding, medication, education and mobility.


“It is after meeting the basic essentials that surplus income could be utilise for Sallah ram and other celebrations.”

Quoting from the Holy Quran, Dr. Agaka said: “La yukallifullahu nafsan illa wus’aha- which means Almighty Allah does not place burden on a person beyond his ability in any situation.”

The Muslim Cleric added that “the ceremony is symbolic in exemplifying the absolute submission of Prophet Ibrahim and Ismail to the will of God.”

“The essence therefore is to be obedient to Almighty God, live peaceful with our neighbours including those that we don’t share the same tribe, culture or religion and pray for our nations.”


He said for those that can afford Sallah rams, they must follow the principle of Zakat. He said the ram should be shared into three parts.

“The first part is meant for the family, second part should be given as Zakat (gift) to the neighbours including Non-Muslims and Muslims that could not afford it and the last part for the less privilege in the society,” he concluded.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Edo State yesterday disclosed that its smart card reader in Akoko- Edo local government area has been stolen.
The claim was part of a statement released by the Administrative Secretary of the Commission on behalf of the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Sam Olumekun and made available to newsmen in Benin, the state capital.

It noted that the smart card reader was stolen during the training of presiding officers and assistant presiding Officers.


“The Independent National Electoral Commission, has observed the ploy to tarnish the good image of the good people of Akoko-Edo local government area especially the inhabitants of Igarra.

“It is a challenge for the people of Akoko-Edo to fish out the Impostor who during the training of presiding Officers and Assistant presiding Officers made away with the training smart card reader, which has not been configured for election.

“However, the Security Operatives are on the trail of the Impostor, and his co-horts.

“INEC is using this medium to send a warning signal to all those who may be planning to disrupt the commission’s processes on Election day to have a re- think, because the law enforcement agents will descend on them.”



http://dailypost.ng/2016/09/11/edo-2016-smart-card-reader-stolen-inec-laments/

it actually begins with them cos it's leadership by example



This is another scam from the APC led govt.

If the presidency still keeps all the presidential jets but tell you and I to be prudent! That's what?


If the Presidency and the cabinets break trafic rules citing VIP and want you and I to be discipline by obeying traffic rules.

If those in Govt live a large life and embrace foreign products! Patronised foreign goods and go for medicals abroad with the tax payers money but want you and I to patronised local products! Then what do you call that !


If same people who preach change of attitude are harbingers of corruption and wine and dine with corrupt elements! Then the change must begin with them.

If the crooner of change still use public funds to finance their elections, lie to electorates on what they cant do by promising to do it just to get our votes and getting involve in malpractices and manipulation of process to get their selfish interest, then they need the change to begin from them.

If the same people denied their own campaign promises and keep lying just becos of their inefficiencies, then the change must begin with them.

If same people can't be trusted Cos of their acts as leaders , then they need serious change of attitude.

change must begin with them cos they promised change and we did not promised them change

Nigerians have done their part, they must fulfil their own part.

Oshiomole seems to have adopted the cry cry baby mode!

Was it not same Ize-yamu Oshiomole appointed to head one of the sensitive post in his govt.
How come he appointed someone he claimed was rusticated for misdemeanour.

Politicians' mouth and stinking gushing taps are same.
#nocontrol

dfrost:


I've not seen any dress code for politicians. It is also good not appropriate what suits you.

Personally I prefer jean and tees/checkered shirts but my boss stipulates otherwise. I didn't argue. What you think is appropriate for you might not be appropriate for the occasion.

We borrowed the western culture of dressing and grooming for white collar vocation. Civil servants are white collar workers because most times they sit behind a desk.

The Japanese used to wear samurai outfit but they embraced the western ideology and had to change that too.

I personally find Fayose amusing in his theatrical mode (gbòmó cutting et al).

Nice!

Is it the pomo cutting of Fayose you have issue with or his mode of dressing.

Note that almost all govs are culprit of such Act .
We have seen a rochas Okorocha roasting corn by roadside, an oshiomole eating corn. On the road, el-rufai eating sugar cane on the road and even most gov now adopting the stomach infrastructure style now!

in as much as there is no dress codes for govs and others in position of authority, that should not generate furore except we want to imbibe in totality the western culture where we must always be in suits while in the scorching sun .

dfrost:
The point is not wearing tees, but a political office holder? Haba Fayose reason am well na. Between MZ is a technie, blueto. Fayose isn't.

Vocation determines/dictates what we wear. Case in point (albeit someone earlier posted it), MZ wore a suit for a function with the PMB. Ciao.

Are there dress codes for politicians.
Just wanna know from you.
Is it not appropriate to wear what suits you

bulletproofmonk:
I have it on good authority the whole thing was a decoy.

I think Tinubu just outsmarted his opponents in Ondo.
AKETI had been his candidate all along.
Abraham was a decoy.
For those who think otherwise, just keep observing. Sooner or later, it will become clearer.

Just wondering why Abraham would not show up till late, giving Aketi all the chance in the world to woo other contestants delegates right at the primary floor. Abarahm showed up at the venue after Aketi had garnered all the needed delegates to win. Abraham was also first to concede victory to Aketi while Oke and Borofice are still complaining. U really believe Tinubu/Abaraham mumu like that?

Where did Aketi get his financing?

Even Tinubu sef no complain about the apparent change of delegates names at the last minute.

Bro! Tinubu is not a coward to be playing decoy.
He has not hidden his support for Abraham up till date and Akeredolu was never his candidate.

Tinubu can't be timid too start hiding where his supports base sticks.

The contest was so close between Abraham and Akeredolu with a diff of 34.
Tinubu should check within his camps, he got some fifth columnist working against his interest

If Abraham had won, are you gonna say it's a decoy as well.
The facts remain, Tinubu 's candidate did not carry the day despite the good fight he gave.

Cngrats to Akeredolu! Alll he need is to mend fences and reach out to all candidates and work with them.

I foresee a coy played by the opposition to link Akeredolu emergence to Tinubu to stain him as having godfather just as they did to him in 2012.

Let's not help them echo falsehood

The intrigues of politics is in play.

All roads leads to 2019

I love what is playing out in the house.

I knew it was a strategy for Jubriin not to mention Gbaja in the first place but now that Gbaja have team up with others against jubrin, he got no choice than to mention him as well.


Over to those who were clamouring for Gbaja as speaker. Can we jettison jubrin allegations or agree that there is no clean person in PDP and APC even if the person is the anointed candidate for the party

Ajibel:
My problem is this. Is it that people don't understand what the FG is proposing with the bill?

Again, this bill is in draft and is being worked on by the vice president who is the leader of the economic team and not the president, so why all this mindless attacks on the person of the president?

I think most of those against the contents of the bill are simply against it either because they didnt read it or they read but didnt understand what they read.

I say this because those opposing the bill havent raised a point from the bill and give reasons as to why they disagree. All they've been saying has been about Buhari's past and all other BS.

This is the area the minister of information and all media aides of the president and govt should have come up to educate the masses on the importance of the bill to avoid misrepresentations but alas! They are failing and leave the people to guess either wrongly or rightly .

More reasons I won't blame those who are opposing the bills cos govt has kept the people in the dark.
If a policy is for the good of the people, Govt should be glad to give details about it and what the people and the govt stands to gain as well

From the info being circulated, Gbaja also got cool insertions as his own share just like all other principal officers
He knows he needs to quickly align with other principal officers if he wants his poo to be covered as well.

jubrin the accidental corruption whistle blower seems to be on his own

The recent issues of the PDP chairmanship stool where 2 courts of codinate jurisdiction gave 2 conflicting orders thereby thwarting the much publicise convention in PH today is worrisome

I feel the way out of this mess or poo of conflicting judgements are .

Determination of jurisdiction : Before courts should grant to hear any case, they should first of all determine their jurisdictions as regards that case If not, then the parties should have recourse to the state high court where the cause of action arose or where the defendant resides. 

sharing of court orders through weekly publication [/b]This is another area where courts can avoid conflicting orders . I remember the days of Gani fawehinmi , there were publications of courts judgements weekly .
These avails every court the privileges to get afore info on the judgements or orders from superior courts or coordinate jurisdiction .
The judges are not wizards or witches to know which judgement have being passed in time pass and they cant be reading such on pages of newspapers as well

[b]
prove of court orders or injunction by defendants or prosecutors The onus of proof lies with the defendants to prove that the case to be heard by a co-odinate jurisdiction have being decided by same court of co-odinate jurisdiction b y bringing same to his attention   since  a high court is bound to follow decisions of the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, being superior courts. It is, however, not bound to follow a decision of a court that has co-ordinate jurisdiction .

If the court proceed to hear the case after the proof, , then the judge would have acted improperly and should be sanctioned appropriately but in the case of PDP, I am yet to read where such actually happened for the judges to decline hearing .
I am aware that during Saraki issue, his case was kicked out by Justice Abdulkadiri kafarati of the FHC in Abuja when The FG lawyer prove that such case have being heard by another FHC in lagos .

www.herald.ng/sarakis-case-abuse-court-process-says-judge


sanctions should be given to lawyers and members of the bench

There should be a disciplinary actions to anyone who aid and abet abuse of court process , The NJC should rise up to the challenges and ensure that the system is sanities of any judges who have abuse the system and work hand in hand with the politicians to destroy the temple of justice
The lawyers both from the prosecution and defendants have being culprits of these shameless act not absolving the willing judges as well who wants cases to be decided in his temple to boost his CV. The Chief Judge of the FHC should ensure fairness in assigning case and look out for any judge who loves to entertain a particular case from a particular set of people .

Its also funny that FG knows which court to go if they want a particular sets of judgements or order and will frustrate every efforts to appear before another sets of judges cos they find them not friendly in judgement

The case of Dasuki comes to play

protections of the judiciary members
[/b]You will all agree that the judiciary have come under attacks that are unwarranted most times due to their judgment which some elements find not favorable.
The politicians and the executives have use this tools to intimidate some judges and a situation where the  promotions of these judges are being influenced by them speaks volume

How come we have executive [b]IMUNITY but not even the CJN got any immunity let alone the president of the court of appeal nor the chief judge of the FHC .
yet, Governors and President got while the SP and Speaker are working out theirs .
I believe if this is looked into, The idea of judges getting intimidated wont arise and they will be able to dispense judgement without fear or favor .

It was in this country that A governor in the SS region locked the court cos he felt the judge in the state wont do his bid despite outcry and directive  from the NBA,NJC
This shows the greater influence of the executive on the judiciary and this is worrisome .


Personally , I am not too comfortable with happenings in our political system and the arms of govt, we need to sanitize the system and build a workable institution .

The legislature should make laws for the interest of the state and the people

The Executive should execute orders and laws and obey every judgement irrespective of their disposition towards it through the AGF and all its agencies

The Judiciary should live up to its names ( Hope of the common man) by dispensing judgments in fairness and truth  


SENATORBAYOR member of Political Forum

I feel we should have got over this buck passing and blame games with excuses for this govt .
I was part of those who worked for the emergence of this govt and I have all the campaign promises in print and media which the APC used as a campaign to tell Nigerians what they will do and how they will go about it.

I have all the words of lai Muhammed , PMB, Tinubu and other notable members of the party in video as well where they told Nigerians their plans and even boasted that no amount of dilapidated economy is above their solutions

During the electioneering period, I still remember that Soludo gave out indices of impending issues pertaining to oil drop , economy and others and fayemi gave a beautiful analysis of how it will be resolve and even boasted that even if it crashed to zero! It won't affect govt performance

I even remember how sanusi lamido gave a gory account of the rot in the system during his travails and APC said they will revive it when they get to power

I also remember when metuh told Lai muhammed that the country resources can't support the bogus campaign promises of APC! Lai said it's becos PDP are bereft of ideas on how to think inward that they will surprise them with the programe especially the feeding of school children and 5k for the jobless youths as soon as they win election

Till date, APC controls the media but sadly, There is no good news to propagate and Nigerians are tired of same old stories of blames .

The foundation of APC and the in fighting brought us to this mess and aggravate the already dilapidating economy .

The Party lost focus and focus more on power tussle within their ranks while they engage the media with attempt to tag past administration in order to engage us while the economy was on a free fall.

Till date, The Govt does not have economy policies and its fiscal and monetary policies have being on trial and error .
We know PDP and GEJ were bad and we are aware of the rot in the system despite that it wasn't as bad as we have now , hence APC and PMB should stop reminding us of what we know, rather they should tell us what they have done to right the wrong of the past .
