emekatimsu: Hungryman,the day i see a pol party in Nigeria that have you as an exco member or political office aspirant,then i will fully support and believe that true change has started. Just go tru the names you listed out in your APC formation and you will hv to agree with me dt ds are the same sets of politicians with same mentality that have been recyclying them selves in political office in Nigeria.
That is not the type of change i want, i want a hungry man like you to be there because there is no garantee that they will make any diffrence. Been a strong opposition with Ex PDP formation does nt count for me because if not they wia fustrated out frm PDP,i can bet with my Joystick that they will still be there ruining abuses on APC..
Even coming to the names u listed,one can see that southerns/christain form a Minority in the party.

Is APC a "party or rebels"? Yes, it has among its members those who left the PDP out of frustration. Some left because they failed to win concession within the party and others because they were uncomfortable with the direction the party was headed.

On the issue of circling and recycling same ol' politicians. There is nothing we can do about that since most of us have decided to be critics outside of the arena. We claim to have solutions to the problems bedeviling the nation, but do nothing about them yet we yearn for a change . We have become merchants of doom, armchair critics and spectocrats who supposedly want the best but see only the worst in every party.

As long as PDP remains in power, we will never get a "credible" opposition because we practice a "monetized democracy". PDP controls the politics and economy of this nation and has at its disposal illegally acquired wealth and state resources to muscle any opposition. So any party that wants to challenge PDP's monopoly will have to break the bank(also steal from the public purse).

The president himself acknowledged the need to have a "Strong National Opposition" which is what APC stands for. PDP will only sit up when we have an alternative national platform because it will encourage competition. So why do we have to throw the baby away with the bath water? Our democracy is not yet mature, and there is no political party anywhere in the world made of saints and perfectionists.

PDP will forever remain in power with this mindset of yours which reeks of religious bigotry and hypocrisy!

You must be joking! I listed 17 powerful key positions in the PDP, with christians occupying 13 out of the 17 and you call that "more balanced"? Are there no christians occupying positions in APC which the @Op out of mischief left out. You stink of Hypocrisy!

Forum(Christian)

I am yet to see any muslim PDP member or
neutral observer protest against the
marginalization of muslims in the PDP.

Before some people start calling for my head and
calling me an Islamist or Boko Haram, let it be
known that I am a Christian but I vehemently
oppose the hypocrisy currently being displayed on these boards. Agreed that Christians are in the minority in APC's interim management executive committee, but so far party members who are
these boards. Agreed that Christians are in the
minority in APC's interim management executive, but so far party members who Christians were part of the ratification process of the executive, they should be given a chance. Those promoting this ethno-religious dichotomy amongst us, unite in ethno-religious looting.

I wonder if anyone in the Presidency appreciates how bad this development looks against the backdrop of a much touted anti-corruption campaign.

The presidency does not give a damn! The anti-corruption stance is a ruse. His henchmen have no qualms in corruptly using state resources in the furtherance of mainly parochial goals of self-aggrandizement.

thelastPope: What kind of ridiculous defence are you putting up for this guy like this. Dont you have some ounce of integrity? And I was just commending you the other day. You disappoint big time!

How can it be a typo when the you type 1988-1994. A typo would have been either the first date was wrong or he last date was wrong. But both dates reflected a proper time frame or duration. How can that be a typo? Moreover, you mean this guy or any of his staff, after collecting millions in the name of constituency projects that are never done, has never checked out his own profile? Where do you want to pull out the rabbit from the hat here. I am really interested in your dimension. This is not only fraudulent, this also shows most of these guys are not competent legislators. They are just kparaga legislators. No wonder they spend all their time attending political meetings where they can fight the executive. This is pathetic stuff. Incredible!!!

Guy file that under, who gives a shiit about anyone's commendation on a faceless forum? When did you become an apostle of truth and integrity? You can accuse him of incompetence which most of our lawmakers truly are. But fraudulent, you have no substantial evidence to prove that. You can "only" use the documents he submitted to INEC which was deposed to an affidavit in a court of law to nail him, and not details displayed on a website run by the "management" of the national assembly through her IT department susceptible to human errors. Also We do not know if he is the only one with errors on his profile page or if more(lawmakers) are affected and if he/they have forwarded their complain. Has anyone tried to confirm if he truly attended those schools and the years spent? No, But because he is an in-law to Tinubu, its enough grounds to persecute him even when we haven't conducted any search on his background! If at all we have to blame him, we should endeavor to do same to INEC, management of the NASS and the equally irresponsible candidates from other political parties who contested against him yet did not bother to double-check his info.

Some who have read the president's mid-term report called it a compendium of errors(mostly typographical), yet the president appended his signature on it. Does it mean the president's responsible for those errors? The bottom-line is we have a lot of incompetent hands in the Public/civil service.

Those who contested against him have access to his personal information and if they don't it can be obtained from INEC's office, yet none has gone to court to challenge him for either falsification of document or false declaration. Nigeria is the only country where people petition against another, online and pages of newspapers, and not to the appropriate quarters.

Politics › Re: Ogun PDP Suspends Gbenga Daniel & 12 Others by takedat(m): 10:53pm On Jun 28, 2013

Those in the PDP national secretariat knew of his anti-party activities in the run up to the 2011 elections but turned a blind eye after OBJ hijacked the PDP's machinery from him. At the time he was the chief sponsor of PPN and its candidate, he was also heading GEJ's presidential campaign committee in the south west as a PDP member. Note that PDP in Ogun state is highly factionalised, there is the OBJ faction, Daniel faction and the Kashamu faction so which of the factions suspended him?

Recently Jonathan's right-hand man, Orubebe was suspended for anti-party activities by Delta state PDP but the national secretariat of the party declined to ratify his suspension. So those who think the party will ratify Daniel's suspension because of some featherweight politicians are in fact dreaming.

Politics › Re: Tinubu Son In Law, Hon. Oyetunde Oladimeji Ojo In Alleged Falsification Scandal by takedat(m): 6:00pm On Jun 28, 2013*

Does it mean INEC and those who contested against him did not spot this "error" in his bio-data/profile? Has anyone taken him to court in respect of this allegation, particularly those who contested against him in the election? Even when the tribunal nullified his election and ordered for a re-run, it was based on technical ground due to the failure of INEC to include the logo of another party on the ballot papers. Is it not possible that the error on his profile page is as a result of negligence on the part of the national assembly management/web admin? You can only use the documents he filled and submitted to INEC backed with an affidavit to nail him, and Since 2011, not even one of his political opponents in the election has approached the court of law. Then this allegation lacks substance!

Sincere 9gerian: But supporting your president is the RIGHT thing to do. That you support your president does not mean you cannot criticise him or his ministers but such criticisms should be SPECIFIC and CONSTRUCTIVE. When the time for elections come, and Jonathan becomes the candidate in PDP or whatever party, then you can oppose him. But now, he is the President of Nigeria, not PDP, and we should all support him.

Those who are really supportive of his administration are his critics because they do not want him to fail, unlike his grovellers and loudest praise singers listed as sincere Nigerians. Criticism is the grist of democracy, either politically motivated or patriotic. Delivering the goods is the most effective antidote to criticism. Those who unleash destructive governance must not expect constructive criticism!
