Kingspin: There is an open link btw APC and brainwash.

Thank you bros, you see on Friday when Aliyu was saying how much he loves the PDP I knew it won't make it to the Front page.

Fast forward to Saturday when the same gov fearing what EFCC might do to him should Jonah win (even though this faction has existed for months) Nairaland mods couldn't wait to make it front page.

This is typical of Nairaland to promote ACN governors whatever their failures.

This is the main reason some of the govs left.

Former governor of Kwara State, who is also the new leader of Kwara politics, Senator Bukola Saraki, was recently made to face EFCC fire, thus, reinforcing the fear among the governors that they might not be safe after leaving office, if Jonathan is in charge

When nonentities leave the PDP it makes front page.

When the likes of Gov Aliyu says they're remaining part of PDP the news gets hidden.

Here's Gov Babangida Aliyu (Link) saying he's not leaving the PDP.

[size=14pt]Its official, Nairaland is now remotely controlled by APC.[/size]

Nairaland mods are shameless APC sympathisers

All anti PDP threads gets Front Page

If Gov Babangida Aliyu leaves the PDP it makes Front Page.

Here's Gov Babangida Aliyu (Link) saying he's not leaving the PDP.

slim fit :
You and obj think alike. By the way we didn't vote for him you people did so face your anger to obj not yoruba people. Dick head.

Its you that should face your anger to obj, I mean 10,000 of your people just lost their jobs.

plaindealer: The richest man in Africa and industrialist obviously has more sense than you...

By the looks of it he's not as intelligent as you think. Maybe he hasn't seen the memo that we no longer want to feed an ungrateful nation from 2015 should Jonny boy lose.

iterator25: And.. warri people are from which country? Ode

You be real mumu, because how many times have you people said "Nigeria ni baje"?

Keep to your slogan as we keep to ours, thank you.

Warri no dey carry last.

@REHOZIBAH

If Ogbeni was doing so great without a cabinet, then he should not bother with a new cabinet fvck it.

And come to think of it, he could save even more money if he abolish the state civil service, this would double his cost cutting.

I think yourself and Gbawe are genius, this is why both of you see the incredible development in Osun which others don't see.

Don't mind the highly acclaimed political analyst Sincere 9gerian, the dude is just a mischief maker.


See you in Rauf's office next week bro.

Here it is, no need to go to any blog.

The political crisis in Taraba State continued on Friday as members of the state cabinet, re-instated by the Acting Governor, Garba Umar, refused to resume work. Mr. Umar had on Thursday asked the commissioners to continue in office and ignore a statement read by an aide to ailing governor, Danbaba Suntai, announcing the dissolution of the State Executive Council.
The council members were appointed
by Mr. Suntai before his accident last year. However, apparently doubting the loyalty of some of the commissioners, Mr. Suntai’s handlers promptly made the governor dissolve the cabinet upon his return from the United States where he spent 10 months receiving treatment.
In a series of dramatic fast-paced event that have become regular in Taraba in the last one week, the ailing governor’s spokesman, Silvanus Giwa, announced the dissolution of the cabinet on Wednesday, supposedly on the governor’s instructions. Emboldened by the position of the state parliament that Mr. Suntai was unfit to rule and that his deputy should continue as Acting Governor, Mr. Umar announced that the state executive council was still in place. Commissioners give reasons Investigations by PREMIUM TIMES in Jalingo, however, revealed that members of the State Executive Council did not return to their offices as directed by Mr. Umar.
When asked why he did not heed Mr. Umar’s statement, the Commissioner of Finance, Iliya Wanabiya, replied, “Ask me that question on Monday; I will only be able to answer that question on Monday.” Also, Timothy Kataps, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice who after Mr. Suntai’s dissolution of the executive was appointed the Secretary to the State Government, told PREMIUM TIMES that he could not return to the post of a commissioner.
“I cannot do that. I was appointed by the governor; I cannot reprobate and approbate. I have sworn an oath of office before the governor and he has not told me he has reversed that decision. In any case, I am the only SSG who swore to an oath of office, I remain the SSG,” Mr. Katap said. A similar view was expressed by the Commissioner for Information, Emmanuel Bello. “I am not resuming.
The governor has dissolved his cabinet and that remains the case. We have all been dissolved,” Mr. Bello said.Taraba’s funds Meanwhile, Mr. Umar has also directed the state’s bankers to respect only cheques verified as originating from the governor or himself, amid controversy over who takes charge of the state. The acting governor’s statement comes amidst fears that Mr. Suntai’s handlers could seize on the confusion and his apparently frail state to loot the state of funds. Mr. Umar acted for the governor while the latter was away on medical trip for 10 months.
Lawmakers have asked him to continue as the acting governor but Mr. Suntai’s supporters insist the ailing governor remains in charge. A statement by Mr. Umar’s spokesperson, Kefas Sule, late on Thursday said, “The bankers of the Taraba State Government are reminded to note that all financial instruments relating to the State Government’s accounts should be honoured only if they are in tandem with the provisions of the law, in which case, it must contain either verifiable signature of the Executive Governor of Taraba State, his Excellency Governor Danbaba Suntai or verifiable signature of the Acting Governor of Taraba State, his excellency Alhaji Garba Umar, Acting for the Executive Governor.”
The statement also called on the people of the state to disregard Wednesday’s announcement of the dissolution of the State Executive Council and the appointment of a new SSG as well as Chief of Staff. “The announcement is a mere attempt by a cabal to hijack the machinery of governance in the state and not a directive that was given by the Executive Governor, his Excellency Danbaba Suntai,” it said.
Speaker’s actions illegal Meanwhile, a member of the Taraba State House of Assembly, Joseph Kunini, has disassociated himself from the position of majority of the lawmakers and the Speaker, Haruna Tsokwa, directing Mr. Umar to continue acting as governor. Mr. Kunini, the majority leader of the 24-member Assembly, said the position taken by the speaker and 15 other members of the assembly, as contained in a statement, ‘does not have any force of law.’
“It’s either Mr. Speaker Haruna Tsokwa is completely ignorant of the provisions,” of the Nigerian constitution or “he is been sponsored by desperate power seekers and mischief makers,” the lawmaker said. The lawmaker, who is part of a camp of 8 lawmakers in support of Mr. Suntai’s return and actions, said since Mr. Suntai has transmitted a letter to the speaker of his return, he had since automatically resumed office as governor.
The Speaker and the majority of the lawmakers had doubted the authenticity of the letter and after meeting with the governor concluded that he was not yet fit to lead the state. They advised him to return to the U.S. to continue his recuperation.

If Awo was greatest Nigeria politician how come he didn't win the presidency? Awo is only respected in his SW enclave, he did not win anywhere in the north or east so how can he be a national hero. Local champ Yes national hero No.

The real shocker will be the Niger Delta repatriating all its money from the rest of Nigeria.

This way you keep Lagos and we keep our money.

I hope this extra 2.7 billion naira is spent on the people who provide the raw materials. I hate to see our money being wasted on the SW and the North.

Yorubas are now claiming Lagos was built by them, same way the Hausa man will claim they built Abuja.
Jonny boy should do us a favour by not giving a dime to these lechers.

Imagine what this extra 2.7 billion naira would do to the Niger Delta if it was invested there.
Resource control I say, you guys have been milking us for too long.

Didn't even bother watching it because there's no way Fashola will rise up as a statesman God forbid. Fashola is a local champ and should remain so, don't bore us with long epistle. You will never make vice president excerpt vice president of Odua republic.

One of the five northern state governors who have been consulting on the state of the nation, Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, on Thursday met with President Goodluck Jonathan at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. At the end of the closed-doors meeting, Aliyu told State House House correspondents that it was wrong for people to believe that he and his colleagues were nursing personal grudges against the President.

He said while he and his co-governors were at liberty to disagree with a particular policy and the process, it would be wrong for them to disagree with the President because they did not put him in his current position.

Contrary to the belief that they are mobilising against the President, Aliyu explained that the purpose of their nationwide consultation was to insulate Jonathan who people always accuse in the event of any ugly development.

He said since a governor was free to consult with the President anytime, he was in the Presidential Villa to clear one or two issues bordering on infrastructure, airport in Niger State and roads.

He said as a Peoples Democratic Party governor, he also discussed the issue of the Saturday special convention of the party with the President.

He said, “Let us get something very clear, in politics, you may disagree with a particular policy, you may disagree with the process but you cannot be said to disagree with the President because you did not put him there. Nigerians put him there and God put him there.

“This is the mistake that people make. They want to put people against each other. Even in your house as a father, sometimes your child may disagree with the way and manner to do certain things but that doesn’t mean he is not your son. I think that is the misnomer that many people have been giving out.

“We have many issues on ground and unless they are discussed, there is no way you can solve them. I don’t think it is against the President. Some issues came up and they have been discussed.

“You remember our problems in the Nigerian Governors’ Forum. We are discussing how to resolve them. We want to insulate clearly Mr. President out of it because every issue that happen now, they say the President is involved even the simple election that took place for the youth council in Niger, many people wanted to bring politics into it.

“I have heard people saying it should not be held in Niger because the governor is against the President. I think that is a misnomer and I think a local approach to the matter.”

Aliyu denied involvement in the formation of a new political party called the Voice of the People.

He vowed that he would not leave the ruling Peoples Democratic Party unless he was dismissed from the party.

“I am not a quitter. God took me to PDP. My prayer was to be a Head of Service and God said I should be governor under PDP and I am not thinking about quitting now unless I am dismissed. But I am not jumping from one party to another,” he declared.

The governor faulted the recent expulsion of some commissioners and personal aides of the Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, from the PDP.

Sorry folks, big disappointment to APC

amarilo: Before this business is dominated by Asian people( Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladesh and Sri Lankans) but recently I started noticing that Nigerians are delving into the business and they are doing quite well. In Manchester many of them, saw two in Oldham two weeks ago and loads of them in London and Birmingham.

Nigerians no dey carry last for sure.

Na Warri no dey carry last

This would give the Almajiris time to catch up. Great idea!!

Kalamaya: I notice the same thing at a function in osogbo, Osun state today. Infact there was more journalist than the normal invited guest. Though i knew it was a sham interview they were arranging with people.

Am sure they're sahara reporters (aka shakara reporters).

emiye: Not surprised, since GEJ is using reputable oil thieves like tompolo ,dokubo,... to "secure" our pipelines

Haha!!!
My friend enjoy it while it lasts. You won't see any oil after 2015 should APC rig the elections. You guys should be happy its only 150,000 barrels of oil, could be worse.

As predicted, the raw material will not be allowed out of the Niger Delta from 2015 so what is he going to refine.

I think this is something he would live to regret.

Daniel Day-Lewis has his hand round her...I won't even say what I think.

Why was it located between Ogun and Ondo States? If you ask me I'd say the location was wrong and it was bound to fail.

black_beau: So,they destroy stuff,hold the nation to ransome,kill people,rape people,kidnap people and they are rewarded with a good job while I sit here and pray for any job. Na wa oh.I sha need to learn how to destroy things.seems that is the ticket to getting a better life in nigeria.

If you have no oil in your state then its pointless, no one would give a damn, sorry.

Which tribe is Tope Ajayi? Just wanna know for future reference.

I can see UPN winning at least two Yoruba states.

ciphoenix: Miniature "human brains" have been grown in a lab in a feat scientists hope will transform the understanding of neurological disorders.

The pea-sized structures reached the same level of development as in a nine-week-old foetus, but are incapable of thought.

Just wish I could raise enough money to get one for dayokanu. Half brain is better than no brain.

spartan66: Choi!!! Na which kain akamu journalism kon be dis one naw?

The writer speculates lagos would be a magnet for islamic terorists and pirates due to its impressive growth rate, hence its ranking as one of the world's worst cities! Na wa o!

Boko haram is expected to flood Lagos in future cause of Yoruba muslims who want same thing as their Northern counterpart>>>>to islamize Nigeria.

We don't need foreigners to tell us Lagos is shyte because we know.

Lagos is so fvcked up the slogan "Eko ni baje" was created.

Sad to say the rest of the world sees Lagos as "baje" no matter the slogan or how loud you say it.

[color=#000000]Scream "Eko ni baje" till tomorrow but the rest of the world ain't gonna buy that crap.[/color]

Save your voices.
