A lot of people are attacking Tambuwal for defecting, I think we should reason with him and put ourselves in his shoes before we attack the guy cos if I were his shoes I would do same. First and foremost if Hon.Aminu Tambuwal remains in PDP he wouldn't win in his ward even if he wanted to return to the house because they is no more structure of PDP in the state, every body has moved to APC, . Secondly, if Jonathan was able to put his house in order and kept PDP as a party united the present governor of the state Governor Aliyu Wammako would have still been in PDP and the political structures in the state would have still been for PDP, but the reverse is the case. If a governor decamps everybody in the state joins him, so everybody should cut the speaker some slack, the guy just saved his political career in his state.

Apparently overwhelmed by the goodwill trailing his defection, House of Representatives Speaker Aminu Tambuwal yesterday said the All Progressives Congress (APC) will sweep the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) off power next year.

He also spoke on why he defected to the APC.

Tambuwal, who made a grand entry into the Extra-Orddinary National Convention of the APC at the Old Parade Ground, Abuja assured the 5,287 delegates that God will help the opposition to deliver Nigeria from the evil it had been plunged into.

Clad in white Babanriga and accompanied by 100 members of the House of Representatives, Tambuwal mounted the rostrum amid ovation.

Armed with a broom, the symbol of the APC which he shook in the air intermittently, an elated Tambuwal gave PDP a quit notice, saying the ruling party cannot dare God.

He told the excited delegates: “Come May 29, 2015, we shall, insha Allah, sweep away the PDP government.

“APC is a party that is giving Nigerians hope and is a party we believe that by the grace of God, and not by the power of human being, shall deliver this country from the evil that it has been plunged into by a certain cabal.

“It is an honour and privilege to join you all today at this Special Convention of our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). I am really glad to be part of the APC family.

“Indeed, I have been overwhelmed by the massive outpouring of goodwill and welcome that I have received from the members of our great party and other well-meaning Nigerians since the formal notification of my membership of APC. From the depth of my heart, I say, thank you.

“And in appreciation of your warm hand of fellowship, I hereby rededicate myself to the task of building and growing our party, and helping our party achieve its mission of lifting Nigeria to glorious heights and restoring hope to the citizens of our great country.

“In this regard, I hereby call on all other like-minded Nigerians to join this movement to deliver on the promise of a new Nigeria.”

The Speaker explained why he decided to pitch his political tent with the APC.

He said: “The APC is the party where the progressive ideals of good governance to which I subscribe are wholeheartedly embraced and applied for the betterment of Nigeria.

“I have embraced the APC platform as a veritable instrument for genuine change and enduring national development. We must constantly remind ourselves that Nigerians yearn for true change and APC represents the hope for this change, and a promise of a brighter tomorrow.

“The work may appear tedious and the road ahead may appear long and hard, but our party is amply endowed with all the key ingredients of success. We need unity and solidarity in our ranks in order to face the challenges ahead.

“In the weeks ahead, we will engage party men and women and Nigerians on the future direction of our nation and means of rescuing her from the malaise of youth unemployment, insecurity, institutionalised corruption, poverty, socio-economic decline and infrastructural decay.

“May Almighty God guide our deliberations at this Special Convention, guide our path, bless our great party, the All Progressives Congress. And may He bless and protect the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

A former head of state and presidential aspirant, General Muhammadu Buhari, who also spoke at the convention, said the opposition came together to form a formidable party to save Nigeria from the ruling PDP.

He said that the party was committed to the principles of internal democracy and assured all that APC will deliver the nation from corruption, insecurity and infrastructural decay.

He said: “We should do all we can do, whatever sacrifices the party can make to come together to get the PDP out of the way. We did that when we merged as a party; we can still do it.”

Imo State Governor and presidential aspirant Owelle Rochas Okorocha said President Goodluck Jonathan was not the problem of the APC, but how to produce a presidential candidate that is electable and who can defeat the PDP.

He said: “We will give Nigeria a purposeful and visionary leadership. We must act purposefully. With due respect to his office and without using derogatory words, President Goodluck Jonathan is not a problem of APC; the only problem of APC is the ability to produce an acceptable candidate.

“I want to govern Nigeria. But if my presidency will be the one that cannot end insurgency in the Northeast, put food on the table for Nigerians, unite Nigerians to the extent that an Igbo man will be a Yoruba man, may it not work – in Jesus name.

“We must stop singing the song of ethnicity and religion in Nigeria. We must get together and take over this country because the PDP has failed Nigerians.”

The Chairman of the convention committee, Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State, called on members at the grassroots to register in the continued voter registration because it is vital for the desired change.

Yari said: “With the support of Nigerians, our party will lead Nigeria to the promised land.”

At the convention were Governors Babatunde Fashola (Lagos), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo), Adams Oshiomhole (Edo), Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun), Magatakarda Wamako (Sokoto), Yari (Zamfara), Kashim Shettima(Borno)and Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano).

Some former governors at the convention were Senator Bukola Saraki, Senator Danjuma Goje, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, Senator Ahmed Sani Yerima, Chief Timipriye Silva, Senator George Akume, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Prince Abubakar Audu, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, Chief Segun Oni(Deputy National Chairman).

Other party leaders are: Former ANPP Chairman Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, Mr. Audu Ogbeh, Prince Tony Momoh, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Senator Chris Ngige, Alhaji Musa Gwadabe, presidential aspirant Sam Nda-Isaiah, Gambo Magaji, Senator Gbenga Ashafa, former Deputy Governor of Jigawa State Ibrahim Hassan Hadejia, Alhaji Murtala Aliyu, former Minister Salisu Nakande, former Deputy Governor of Borno State Adamu Dibal, Senator Joseph Waku, Gen.Mohammed Aboki, Prince Malik Afegbua, Senator F.S.

Former governor of Akwa Ibom State and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in the state, Obong Victor Attah, has told President Goodluck Jonathan that if the way the party is managed in the state prevails, there might be split and defecction of members before the next election.

Attah made this known in Abuja yesterday at a media meeting he held alongside other party leaders from the state, in­cluding Chief Don Etiebet, for­mer Petroleum Minister.

At the session where they ad­dressed the media on what they called the grouses of the leaders against the way, they alleged Governor Godswill Akpabio managed the party, they said if things continued the way they were, there might be decamp­ment to other parties.

In his separate address, Etie­bet noted that there had been many cases of violent attacks in the party and against party members, and if the situation persisted before the next state party congress, there might not be any such congress and that would truncate the course of de­mocracy in the state.

They stated that: “What we are saying today is the last effort we would undertake to ensure things improve or change for the better. But if nothing is done now, we cannot assure President Jonathan of a united PDP in the state or his chances of victory. No doubt, we are solidly for Mr. President but we won’t assure him of our support in 2015 be­cause there will likely be defec­tion of aggrieved members to another party.”

In a swift reaction, Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Pastor Anietie Ukpe, in a statement, described the allegations as un­founded and an attempt to paint the governor in bad light for self­ish political gains, challenging them to test their popularity and acceptance among the people in­stead of converging in Abuja to curry favour of the party leader­ship through the back door.

“The calls by the group for the sack of the Paul Ekpo-led party executive is the height of double standards because all were pres­ent at the congress that gave birth to the present leadership of the party in the state,” it stated.

PDP is telling lies here. Where is 4000 plus MW? I live in PHC along NTA road Road Mgbouba, everybody living here can attest to the fact that for over 3 months now we have not seen a flash of light how much having a 2 hours light for over 3 months

Oga probably the distribution company in your area is not distributing, I live in Irawo Ajegunle Ikorodu road in Lagos and I must say they have been serious improvement the light supplied

Nigerians can abuse English language for state. Everywhere "hater". No more criticisms in this world. I wonder if that word is in the dictionary for thesame meanings we put to it. If those people were haters, is google also a "hater"? Many of us don't know how much she would have lost in law suit if things went to court. Don't ever pray for someone to feed off your sweat while you eat crumbs. Runtown used to write songs for davido until he discovered that he wasn't getting anything from it. Now see where he is. I'm not "hating" cos I visit her site too. But if she's guilty so be it. I. Like her and I think she's hardworking. Will you also call those that are richer than her and yet do not like her "haters"? Example is wizkid and olamide. If she actually did what she was accused of and which google confirmed then its plagiarism or stealing and we know what those that steal are called.

Bros, your name fits you, I really don't know what is wrong with us in this country ooo, if someone is penalised for doing something wrong, how is it hating. If a lecturer fails a student or disqualifies him/her in an exam because he/she was copying or was involved in exam malpractice, who is to blame lecturer or student

Instead of us crying foul, we should learn from her mistakes, here are a couple of mistakes she made in her blog

1. She failed to register it has a business which would have treated the blog as an entity

2. She should have bought lindaikeji.com domain name since she started having traffic, in fact not just lindaikeji.com but also the .net,.biz
So even if google removed her blog, the domain name could still redirect her viewers to a new blog she could set up from wordpress

3. You can call this hating, but I think writing and uploading things u acquire like cars or houses on ur business isn't professional (shows she didn't see lindaikeji..com beyond a hobby), think about any serious internet millionaire who makes a living from a website like Mark Zuckerberg of FB or even our own beloved Seun of Nairaland, u don't see them putting up their cars or homes on Front page of their site.

4. And finally she should have been more professional and original with her writtings

Oya you can all lambast me and call me a hater ..
