So of all the crime and killing and insecurity in Rivers state, the only interest of the police is to bring down biafra flag and not to bring down d crime.

Tolexander:
Good!

A man and his cabal can't hold us for ransom.
Ruling Nigeria is not by force. He has tasted it, not physically fit again. Next thing is to quit honorably.

Thewrath:
And you had to take your time and money to remind me?

Hotshawarma:
At least learn how to spell "dying" correctly before quoting me so that we can have meaningful conversation

adonbilivit:
No reason would be reasonable until you politicians stop getting treated abroad, sending your children abroad to school etc. #FirstThingsFirst, bring our President back to Nigeria

NaijaEfcc:
Some people will not sleep tonight, I mean zombies!!! God punish zombies

ephi123:
Should any sensible president sit in a foreign country endlessly? Failure of a president aka Mr Badluck Buhari

greatgod2012:
Leave the messenger and focus on the message!

You yourself, reason am now, the VP visited the President and not only one picture could be taken as evidence of their meeting only for the VP to just say the President is in high spirit.

What do they take Nigerians for
Are we all daft

Splashme:
Shame on Buhari

Shame of Sheriff the APC mole

Shame on Justice Okon Abang


Victory for Democracy's

Those of you below insisting President Buhari had nothing to do with it are babies in politics.

So, you really think the arrogance our controversial Justice Okon Abang of Abuja High Court displayed in this matter was without presidential backing?

The game of politics is about interest, interest ranges from that of the overall populace, a group of people, individuals etc. A close look at both the ruling APC, the Sheriff factional PDP and that of the victorious Markafi camp clearly point to the interest they all represent- The Political Elite

When you look at both the PDP and APC constitutions, they clearly tilt to favor the political elite in both parties. In fact, it is difficult (if not impossible) for an outsider to emerge candidate through a transparent process without the dictate of political gladiators or godfathers in both parties. These aspirants emerge candidates, win elections and continue to protect the same interest of the elitist group. Hence, the phrase, "All of them are the same".

Before the launch of APDA on June 5, 2017, I was of the opinion that the party is neither a PDP fall-back or a plan B for the Markafi camp, the judgement has clearly given the APDA an opportunity to affirm what they stand for as a party.

The APDA, unlike the APC and PDP, has a constitution that surrenders power to their the people. This is a party whose constitution erode delegate system to entrench direct primary system that will see all members of the party to partake in the election of party leaders, candidates and other elective representative.

The APDA as a party allows for a minimum of 25% elective and appointive slots of members of Youth age (18-35) in all public and party offices. It further state a minimum of 30% for women and 5% for people living with disabilities.

Why then should Nigeria people, youths and women continue to waste their time, resources and votes on the parties (APC, PDP) and factions (Sheriff and Markafi) that only protect the interest of the political elite at the expense of the common man?

I am very happy that PDP crises has settled and PDP political heavyweights will concentrate on their party. I am very happy that the Nigeria electorates will now have the privilege to discern that APDA as a party means business.

One truth we must tell ourselves is that, whether Markafi or Sheriff, PDP is DEAD!!! It has gone 6 feet in the Northwest, it is hopeless in the Northeast, it is the equivalent of Ebola in the Southwest, in the Southeast Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB calls the shot even when PDP controls government (due to the fact that APC is/was no option). In the Southsouth, the governments in power are as incompetent as the government at the center, the story is not different in the Northcentral.

The ruling APC has failed but the only option for Nigeria in 2019 is to embrace a party that they can be active stakeholders in determining candidates for elective positions, so as to have emergence of leaders whose loyalty will be to the Nigeria people not the political elite.



We are STRONGER TOGETHER!!!
