Kalu believes some cabals ( with Tinubus) connect was behind efcc reopening of his case and eventual conviction . Nigger is still bitter, hasn't been able to shrug off the incident
No, I don’t think Kalu links Tinubu to his incarceration at all. He’s a good friend of Tinubu’s and the latter even visited him in the East after his release from prison…..but Kalu and Obasanjo do not see eye to eye at all. Who knows who is after his arse!

Why Kalu?

You are a yoruba man. Why the sudden hate on Igbos.

No matter how you twist your comment, it must be obvious.
Why Kalu? Is that not obvious? Kalu is the one bringing Lawan forward, singing his praises and saying 9 presidential aspirants will withdraw for Lawan. He also said he’s ready to be a sweeper at Aso Rock if Lawan becomes President. Does he not know that Lawan is also Hausa/Fulani like Buhari who has been on the seat for the past 7 years?
So, it’s not a matter of hating on Igbos….you should get the facts right! Kalu is the one showing himself to be a bloody Hausa arse-licker! shocked

All that needs to happen now is for Tinubu to align with NNPP ….then APC will be completely buried in the North and in the South West…. that would be good payback for Buhari’s betrayal.

Tinubu is everything wrong with Nigeria. He's corrupt , old, a tout, and disrespects everyone .

Tinubu said he doesn't believe in one Nigeria , why does he wants to be president of the Nigeria he didn't believe in?
Ko possible

Tinubu even went as far as daring president Buhari to a dirty fight if the president doesn't support his dead and useless ambition ...

PoliticsRe: Buhari’s Order: Sowore Asks Osinbajo To Resign by shinealight(m): 8:52pm On May 12, 2022
TheLawAsItIs:
I took my time to check out those countries' electoral system. I found out that most of them have a single term presidency. But nothing says a vice president who is on a single term should resign in order to contest for president.
The article below may help some of us see the wisdom in the idea of “Resign to Run” for all elected officials. As previously noted, nothing stops any country devising ways to create a fairer and more equitable system of governance suited to her people….that includes Nigeria!

Pros and cons of "resign to run" laws for elected officials
10.13.16
POSTED IN PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENT
NOTE FROM ROBIN: This is another post from our Public Sector Industry Group. Welcome, Ray!

Ray Poole
During this election season, we thought it would be timely to bring up what are commonly referred to as “resign to run” laws. So-called "resign to run" laws require that before an elected official may run for a different (usually, higher) office, he or she must first resign from the current office.

Presently, five states (Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, and Texas) and several cities (including Dallas, Philadelphia, and Phoenix) have such laws.

Although it may seem odd to someone in the private sector to have to quit one's current job before seeking a promotion, in the public sector context there are a number of good reasons to have such rules.

First, there is the fear that an elected official seeking another office might neglect the duties of the office currently being held. For example, in 2008, nine members of the U.S. House and Senate sought the Presidential nomination. They missed between 12 percent and 50 percent of their congressional votes while campaigning.

Woman Indignant….flickrCC.DavidJohns
"I have to quit before I can run for higher office? Why, that's un-American!"
There is also the concern that elected officials seeking higher office may misuse governmental resources, including their staff, for campaign purposes, as well as the concern that they may give short shrift to their current constituents while being overly solicitous of the constituents they hope to represent.

Finally, advocates of "resign to run" laws argue that elected officials may unfairly leverage their present position against other candidates, while retaining their current positions as a fallback.

That said, not everyone favors "resign to run" laws. Opponents of the laws argue that they make elections less competitive because those whose ultimate goal is a higher office may no longer seek lower offices first as "stepping stones." This could also deprive the candidates of helpful governmental experience at lower levels.

Perhaps even worse, constituents may lose all representation for months-long periods if their elected representatives have to resign before running for another office. Finally, opponents argue that "resign to run" laws discourage many qualified individuals from seeking higher office.

Most of us will never run for public office, much less run for one while holding another. However, it is good to be mindful of these requirements. Although few officials have been prosecuted or removed from office for violating "resign to run" laws, political opponents seeking political advantage routinely hurl accusations that candidates have violated the laws.

simplesearch:
Did you say this to governors going for second term both in your state and others since return to democracy in 1999 till date? From Tinubu to Orji Kalu and others etc.
Just because the Constitution allows it doesn’t make it right.
When people who still have some degree of inner sensitivity perceive “unfairness“ in any situation, they see it as a moral duty to speak out. This is how Constitutions get changed or amended to give a semblance of equity, fairness and justice in the running of governments in order to create a more balanced and just society.
Why should Presidents and their VPs, Governors and their Deputies, etc, sit in office while contesting for another term with private individuals who do not have similar access to government perquisites at the same time?
If enough people speak out against such unfairness (like Sowore is doing now) the Constitution can be changed to a single term of 5 or 6 years which will remove this kind of absurdity in governance!

They should resign even without being asked, Is it fair for them to be using State apparatus to feather their own nest? ….flying State-owned aircraft all over the place to promote their own personal ambition? Was that part of the bargain when they were being voted for?

Mumurist.
Go tell that to Sowore ( who is already screaming for the same thing) as well as other presidential aspirants who are having to fork out their own money to fund their personal aspiration. We are here talking of morality and fairness….it is somewhat different from ‘right’ or ‘constitutional provision’.
