NwaAmaikpe:





Southwest will betray Atiku like they have always done.
That is the sad truth.
They will rather vote Buhari hoping that it will afford their kinsman a shot at the Presidency in 2023.

If only they knew that voting Buhari means that they may not even live to see 2023 because of the hardship and anguish he will bring.

The learned ones will vote APC
Their illiterates will vote Buhari
Their youths will vote Sowore
Their non-indigenes will vote Durotoye.

South West is actually the problem.
They see APC as their regional political party.
But they don't know that AD is different from APC.

They are highly educated and most of them have been exposed to life in the Western world, but they never understand the big picture.
Bola Ige did not die for the Yorubas to enslave their future.

That's a sad fact.

How do you describe not voting Atiku as "betrayer"?. I thought you would've realised the fact that everyone has the right to exercise his/her franchise willingly for whoever he/she wants.

You really need to consult your dictionary before you use any word. Stop showing us how half educated you are.

Amumaigwe:
Jobless Afonja spamming every thread with this same meaningless post. Go ahead and vote Jubrin and be relegated to 5%. Join the moving train before it is too late oo.

Why don't address the questions he asked and avoid insults. Those who insults don't have anything meaningful to contribute.

Corrinthians:
Please Id like to ask a couple of questions.

- After the defeat of the preferred candidate of Ndigbo in 2015 presidential election, they rented the air and cyberspace with cries about Yorubas being "betrayers".

- Not done with calling them betrayers, they went on to call them "Hausa/Fulani slaves" because they chose to vote a Fulani man, Buhari, who triumphed over their preferred candidate.

Now..

1. What makes Yorubas betrayers for choosing to exercise their freedom of association? Did they cut any deal with the Ndigbo to support Jonathan? Who were the political leaders that made the deal with Ndigbo on behalf of Yorubas?

2. What makes Yorubas slaves? Since when did forming political alliances in furtherance and promotion of a people's collective interest amount to SLAVERY?

3. What did Yorubas do then which Ndigbo aren't doing now, especially with one of their sons chosen as the VP candidate same way a Yoruba son was picked by Buhari?

Lastly and most importantly..

How would Igbos feel if those same words they have been using to describe Yorubas since 2015 is now used to describe them?

I've never seen a people that talk anyhow without subjecting what they are about to say to moral test like this igbos. once you're not in the same camp with them they see nothing good in you.

johnlvis:
Only PDP governors support sports in Nigeria. True or false?

You should be sad about this news. This is the same governor that claims his state cannot increase minimum wage beyond the present 18000 naira.

What a shame!

Kennedy94:
I still don't know where sheu stands...He is neither here or there

He is simply on the side of objectivity. He must insult Buhari before you know he doesn't support him

bedspread:
Is this the first time Atiku is coming into the Country?? He has not been searched all these while until now!!

U guys should keep throwing your Penalty to corner!!

Searching whoever comes into the Country is supposed to be a Normal thing!!

And Bagges scale thru Machines, usually not done manually or by police Army and all dt!

RED Desperation!!!

If he was searched before you won't see it into the media because he didn't need your sympathy then. He needs it now from people like you and so he made a huge cry over a mere routine check. He wasn't arrested neither was he harassed. They left him when he passed the security test. So what's the cry about?

habiham:
Why now And when last you check tinubu and others

If they are checked you won't see it in the media because they are not looking for cheap political sympathy.

afroniger:
Does that mean that the likes of Amosun and Okorocha that lost out could not afford to pay those sums for the tickets they lost or what??

Good question! your education is not a waste like some people

maestroferdi:
When will the first Christian lawmaker be elected in Saudi Arabia?

Islam and hypocrisy are 5 and 6...

when did US become capital of Christianity just like Saudi Arabia?

my friend if you don't know what to comment leave the thread na....is it by force?

Maxymilliano:
Ebun Adegboruwa is entitled to his opinion, as well as his interpretation of the law. As a lawyer you cannot practice without being called to Bar.

Every candidate seeking for election into the office of the President of Nigeria must not only possessed at least a secondary school cert, but must also submit same to INEC. Failure to produce your certificate on demand by INEC means automatic disqualification.

That's the crux of the hues and cries ...

what section of the Nigerian constitution are quoting? pls tell us��

Bolusticus:
It is just in our blood as Nigerians to be wasteful and unrealistic.

The 74 other candidates individually know quite well that they do not even stand a chance of winning guber elections in their respective states let alone a presidential election.

In this era, where we have failed governors, dancers, comedians/actors and and serial looters in the business of making and amending our laws as well as determining our national budgets, they are rushing for presidency as if that it is the only way they can contribute to national development.

Being technocrats, publisher, professors etc isn't the only requirement for governance, it is about galvanizing grassroots support to make our society a better place.

honestly we share the same sentiment, everybody is just pursuing self agenda. if not we need the right people to occupy the national assembly than the presidency. that's the truth. what can an upright president do when the national assembly is filled people who don't have the interest of the nation at hand.

That's why I'm so disappointed in our young politicians. we cannot take power from these old self centered men without forming the majority in the national assembly.

WHEN WE ARE TRULY READY FOR CHNAGE WE'LL WORK FOR IT

Olukat:
It's obvious zombies have a different meaning to "abandon"
I wish PMB could initiate any project the way GEJ did during his administration.
Itakpe/Warri line is an industrial line already concluded to a standard gauge rail system.
Running around Nigeria looking for tapes to cut won't add value to this confused administration.

honestly, u guys are so shameless and uncalculated in your defence, everything has been done before Buhari yet nothing was working before he came on board....will u die if u give simple kudos for a job well done?

6Ebisco:
The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has explained that he may not honour invitation to attend the inauguration of Dr. Kayode Fayemi because of the erratic nature of politicians.

The Governor added that he had promised to appear at the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) on October 16, which he said coincided with day of the swearing in.

The governor also advised that whoever emerges Speaker in the state House of Assembly should work for the progress of the state.

Fayemi had on Wednesday disclosed that Fayose was specially being expected at his swearing in on Tuesday, saying he is free to attend the ceremony as Ekiti leader.

Speaking at a press conference in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, Fayose said the EFCC may have the opportunity of harassing him if he reneged on his promise to appear before it next Tuesday.

“Politicians are erratic people, if I should attend the programme, some politicians may use the chance to harass me even when they are not sent by Fayemi.

“This will further destroy relationship. Issues between me and Fayemi is not personal. I have been cooperating with the committee set up by Fayemi on this transition

“Again, I have to be in EFCC office in Abuja on Tuesday. But let me say clearly that I am ready to appear before any Panel set up by incoming government to probe my administration”, he said.

Fayose stated that he has not committed Ekiti to any debt, either by way of bond or bank loans since he took over in 2014.

“Contrary to what they are saying that I have committed Ekiti to a huge debt, I didn’t commit Ekiti with a dime. Whatever we do in government, history will forever remain after us”.

He urged Fayemi to deploy the N327 million kept in bank by his administration to complete the new Oja Oba market for the use of Ekiti traders.

The Governor added that he decided to abandon the civic centre project started by Fayemi and constructed a new market because it was not a priority to the people of the state.

Fayose said the newly built Ministry of Finance shall be named after former Minister of National Planning, Chief Ayo Ogunlade to appreciate his contributions to the state.

The governor said he decided not to name any project after himself on the basis of his belief that such was morally wrong.

“The flyover, the new governor’s office, the roads, the Oja Oba market, the Funmilayo Olayinka Women development centre and other projects will speak for me even if I refuse to name projects after myself,” he said.

Fayose said he won’t dabble into the crisis rocking the State Assembly, which culminated in the removal of the Speaker, Hon Kola Oluwawole and his deputy, Sina Animasaun on Thursday.

Three All Progressives Congress (APC) and 11 members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday removed the principal officers and installed an APC lawmaker, Hon Adeniran Alagbada, as the new Speaker.

Fayose said: “I won’t dabble into what is happening in the assembly. Whether they elect Oluwawole or Alagbada, such person must believe that he was elected to serve Ekiti people.

“I enjoin them to cooperate with Fayemi to move Ekiti forward. I don’t want to hear of any impeachment against Fayemi, if truly we are here to serve”, he advised.

PDP Convention: ‘Bidding’ opens as Saraki doles out $1,000 per delegate

Senate President Bukola Saraki has reportedly started paying money to delegates at the Peoples Democratic Party’s national convention, marking perhaps the first move in an expected flurry of payouts which aspirants are keen on raining on delegates to win support for the presidential nomination.

Mr Saraki paid out $1,000 per delegate at about noon on Saturday, hours before voting opens in the convention, PREMIUM TIMES learnt from delegates, including those who received the largesse.

“We have received our first goodwill from the Senate President Bukola Saraki,” a delegate from Nasarawa State told PREMIUM TIMES. “It is our first dollars here, but we know more would still come from other aspirants, they have been calling us since yesterday.”

A spokesperson for the Saraki campaign did not immediately return calls for comments. But two sources in his campaign who were amongst those who coordinated the payout stashed in campaign paraphernalia have corroborated the claim to PREMIUM TIMES.

The top lawmaker is perhaps the first to pay out cash to influence the choice of delegates. At least 4,000 delegates are expected to vote for 12 aspirants when the exercise commences at this stadium in a few hours’ time.

It is still early in the day, as politician insiders tell PREMIUM TIMES that the payout would rise as voting kick off.


“Do not be surprised if they hike the rate to $4,000, this is not your average convention,” a source attached with the campaign of one of the top-four contenders told PREMIUM TIMES

ManirBK:
Delegates for Saturday’s presidential convention of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Port Harcourt have complained about hunger occasioned by inability of the convention’s welfare committee failed to distribute snacks and water across the delegates.
The delegates who expressed anger over the manner they are being treated despite their early arrival at Adokiye Amiesiekema stadium, noted that even bottled water brought did not go around and the security arrangement in the stadium did not oes not allow for easy movement.

The convention has been delayed as leaders of the party and aspirants are said to be holding a crucial meeting to iron out some conflicting issues before the convention.
Some delegates in Cross River, Delta, Ebony and Edo states, told Daily Trust that they are bitter because welfare committee would have been very active to prevent anybody from collapsing because of starvation.

As the time of filling this report, a van suspected to have carried some foods is packed inside the main bowl of the stadium, but protocol operators are not.

ManirBK:
The failure of the 12 presidential aspirants of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, to agree on a consensus candidate has delayed the start of the party’s convention in Port Harcourt.
The 12 aspirants met earlier in the day but after almost an hour of deliberation, there was no agreement on a consensus candidate.

According to a reliable source, the meeting ended in deadlock as all the aspirants vowed to continue with their campaign.


“It was difficult to agree on a consensus candidate as each of the aspirants argued on their individual strengths and urged others to step down. The power brokers in the partyare looking at this and how to avert any post-convention crisis. Meetings and consultations are expected to continue,” the source said.


Few minutes after the meeting, there was celebration in the camp of the governor of Sokoto state over the rumour that the former Accountant – General of the Federation and governor of Gombe state, Ibrahim Dankwambo has agreed to step downfor the former speaker of the House of Representatives.


However, the rumour has been denied by the Dankwambo camp. One of his aides who craved anonymity said it is not possible for the two-term governor to step down for Tambuwal who recently re-joined the party


The convention originally billed for 10am is yet to start as at the time of filing this report at 5:05pm.

Olusola Fabiyi, Abuja
The Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State. SenatorAdemola Adeleke, has described the ongoing rerun election in seven units in the state as a ‘coup ‘.
Adeleke, who spoke with our correspondent on the telephone, said that supporters of the PDP were being denied access to ballot papers in the governorship rerun election.

“What is happening in Osun State now is not an election. What we have is a coup. That is what we are witnessing now.
“Our supporters are being harassed and are not allowed to vote at all. Let the whole world know that this is not democracy, ” he said.

useless man, honestly with politicians like this it'll be hard for Nigeria to make headway...U MEAN INEC OFFICIALS ARE ASKING WHOM THE ELECTORATES WANT TO VOTE FOR BEFORE GAINING ACCESS TO BALLOT PAPER? OR ALL ELECTORATES THAT WANT TO VOTE FOR PDP WROTE IT ON THEIR FOREHEAD?

U can impress those who have chosen wailing over common sense with this ur mumu report

Then Bam!! PH girls will start hassling to come visit you.

To comot na wahala

From there Co-habitation have started by force

I cover my house with the blood!

And Warri too

FarahAideed:
INEC clearly wants to give undue victory to the APC ..I advise senator Adeleke to reject this re run immediately and proceed to court...this re run is designed to assist APC

you must be a poor child of history. The same thing happened in Kogi in 2015 when APC was leading. You won't die if you INEC credit for a job well-done.

HardexyAA:
If the election is not rigged, it could be true, because as it is at the moment, Omisore is the most popular candidate. I live in Osogbo.

God's decision cannot be rigged. If the prophecy fails that means it was not God that spoke to him...lazy fake pastors everywhere.

unite4real:
It only requires common sense to know Saraki was just politicking with his statement. Have you not observed that when the British PM and her German counterpart visited Nigeria, their iteneries involved visiting other countries? Program was planned long time ago before arrival. Are u saying that after they observed that they couldn't communicate with Buhari, they quickly called the next African leader to say HEY WE ARE COMING TO SEE YOU TOMORROW, WE CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE IN NIGERIA. You took a statement from someone desperately seeking the number one seat and you agreed. What about the one day the British PM spent in Kenya. Was it because of same reason Saraki gave?

Hey! you really not bother yourself replying these people. you can't force them to see anything good in this government. Their sense of judgement has been configured to validate anything that speaks ills about PMB. Pls stop trying to make them reason because they won't. Saraki must always be laughing at them whenever he gets home after speaking his nonsense in public because he knew those blinded by hatred have no time to think over before gulping everything down the throat.

Be very sorry for yourself. I am not from Kogi but i have friends there and i know how things work.

You are being subjective and emotional. i am simply being objective and dealing with facts.

This is the problem, you're not from kogi state yet you know more than someone from kogi state from hearsays.

Racoon:
Does Buhari needs the NASS reconvening to sign the electoral act or provide good governance It's a global practice that legislatures are always on recess @ this time of the year.Besides there is no national emergency that is warranting this now.

Former Kano Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, has confirmed that authorities have sealed the Eagle Square.

Kwankwaso had announced that he would make his presidential declaration for presidency on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) on Wednesday.

The Kwankwaso Campaign Organisation, in a statement made available to DAILY POST, expressed disappointment that the Federal Capital Territory Administration(FCTA) suddenly turned down the request earlier approved “for some flimsy reasons”

It said: “In a letter dated August 27th, 2018 and signed by Usman Mukhtar Raji for the Facility Manager and received on August 28th, 2018 barely 24 hours to the scheduled declaration, the Abuja International Conference and Eagle Square, managed by the Integrated Facility Management Services Ltd has reversed itself in respect of approval granted the organizers of the declaration of Senator Kwankwaso.

“We at the Kwankwaso Campaign Organisation sees the development as a handiwork of the government in power who will not see anything good in growing our fledgling democracy as no level playing field has been created to allow for viable opposition in the country.

“Even at that, earlier Tuesday morning the Abuja International Conference and Eagle Square, managed by the Integrated Facility Management Services Ltd refused us access to inspect the premises demanding us to present a police permit, when actual approval for the use of the Eagle Square has been sought and paid for more than one week to the said declaration.

“The above development will in no way dampen our morale to go ahead with the declaration or chicken-out as it will only embolden us to legally pursue our fundamental right to freedom of movement and association.”

All these politicians they only asked to present police report for holding such an envisaged magnificent rally. How does that amount to denial to use such venue?
