It is a one-off match. If we go through Napoli, Bayern is a game we should be able to win.

Kenplay:

Kenplay:
[s]Please get a life, I dont know your age but I believe by having access to internet you should at least be sensible. Leave Edo people do decide, not everyone loves slavery[/s].

Rivers State elections have always been filled with violence even before Wike contested. Wike was declared winner of that election by INEC no matter whatever rigging that went through and the election results were contested up till supreme court and he still won there but in Imo State, how do you explain what happened there? someone that came 4th in the election with low score compared to those he contested against becoming the governor is nothing but a scam! I was an INEC ad-hoc staff and we were told that if the Card reader stops working we should revert to voters register so, card reader cannot tell you the number of people that participated in an election. During the Governorship election in my polling unit, the card reader was not able to authenticate anyone so, we didn't use it at all. I'm no fan of Wike but I prefer him to APC any day.

[s]Oga shut up and stop saying what u dnt knw or the nonsense u read on blogs! Were u in rivers state in 2015? Now let me tell u wike won peterson hands down in 2015, the issue then is like the issue in edo currently. The people fell out with amaechi and after abusing ikwerre youth, though its true its the turn for rivers south to take the seat and thats y he nominated peterson from okrika under apc platform. Though wike was his man b4 then when wike under his judicial influence returned him as the winner after celestine omehie was declare winner after election poll and staying some months in office.
Lets remember that amaechi won the election via tribunal.[/s]

Cantonese:
If there was no election in Rivers state in 2015 how did Wike become the governor? Please enlighten us.

zumazeks:
[s]You self check the nonsense you wrote up there.
So Jonathan helped Wike to rig him in, and the same Jonathan couldn't rig himself in shey?[/s]

Kenplay:
Why are you so pained?, since Obaseki refuse to bow to Oshiomole by giving him Edo state allocation you people have been so angry, why? Must everybody be a slave like your tribal people?

Cantonese:
Come on brother, where did Wike go wrong with his comment? They say those who go to equity must have clean hands. Wike did not pick on either Ganduje or Uzodimma publicly. They made the public move first, but unfortunately with a very confident person and strong person.

Is the Ganduje dollar video a public secret? Did Uzodimma actually win the election in Imo state? How can you logically declare a candidate who came 4th in an election the winner? Did you not hear Ganduje say publicly that Wike would be sent to an isolation center? Did Oshiomole not truly call Iyamu a thief? Did you not hear Iyamu three days ago publicly admit that he was a cultist? Has he renounced even as a Pastor?

Did Wike not clearly win the 2015 election in Rivers state? Was he not the first? Are you not aware that all candidates after the election go to the highest courts in an attempt to secure victory? Once again how is it logically possible for the 4th in an election to become the 1st? This broke all known records. It's only in this government that you can find such political abracadabra.

Without deceiving ourselves, governorship elections in states are beginning to assume the status of wars. They say all is fair in a war. Were you not a witness to what played out in Osun state? What about Kogi state and the security men shooting at voters from helicopters? Did you not see Yaya Bello's margin? Now established by the supreme court? Baba once beaten twice shy. Truthfully APC has taught other political parties how to weaponise themselves and secure their positions.

Under this APC federal leadership governors do not see eye to eye. The NGF has lost its relevance. Now governors disrespect each other.

Please blame Uzodimma and Ganduje for their utterances.Those who live in glass.houses must not throw stones. I bet with.this Uzodimma will shut his mouth. Ganduje has already shut his...I pressume.

Truly Edo is not Lagos. Even Oshiomole has shut his mouth.

endy69:
in the case where the card reader stops working or faulty what happens? Educate on election

Idiotseverywher:
. Tessppidd, most of you from the north think the police and army can easily be used by your brother to rig election in the south, you are dreaming, you will be suprised what will be happen at Edo, I know you have no same but APC can not rig Edo election,

Naijabad:
Edo no be Lagos where a sitting governor chickened out.

Even if obaseki loses the election (which is most unlikely) posterity will remember him for being a MAN.

Great2017:
If River's election is repeated even tomorrow, Wike will defeat any candidate sponsored by the APC including Amaechi and Tinubu. But, Uzodinma cannot win any credible gubernatorial election in Imo. He has never won any before. Is Uzodinma not a Supreme Court governor? If you call Wike a Supreme Court judge, who then won the election? I need a name supported with facts. If you ask about that of Imo, Emeka Ihedioha won the election.

[s]LAGOS – The ongoing probe of Ibra­him Magu, suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), is already raising dust in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over the fate of Asiwaju Bola Tinu­bu, former governor of Lagos State and the party’s national leader.

Magu is currently being inves­tigated by a presidential panel led by Justice Ayo Salami over allegations levelled against him by the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.

Malami, in a memo to President Muhammadu Buhari, had recommended Magu’s sack. He anchored his recommendation on sev­eral grounds ranging from diversion of recovered loot to insubordination and mis­conduct.

One of the allegations against Magu is the dis­crepancies in the figures of assets recovered.

It was said that while he claimed that the commis­sion had recovered N980 billion worth of assets, what is in the account is less than N100 billion.

Shortly after Magu’s ar­rest and detention, some protesters took to the streets of Abuja to demand the ar­rest of Tinubu over two bullion vans, believed to be conveying cash at his resi­dence on the eve of the 2019 general election.

In February, 2019, viral pictures on social media had shown the two bullion vans being driven into Tinubu’s residence as many people looked on outside the com­pound.

In response to the con­troversy generated by the incident, Tinubu had said the bullion vans contained money belonging to him and not the government.

He had said: “Excuse me, is it my money or govern­ment money? I don’t work for the government.

“I am not in an agency of government, and let any­one come out to say I have collected contract from the government of President Muhammadu Buhari or the APC in the last five years. They should prove it.

“I am on my own and I am committed to my party. So, even if I have money to spend on my premises, what is your headache?

“If I don’t represent any agency of government and I have money to spend – if I like, I give it to the people free of charge as long as it is not to buy votes.

“Who are those moni­toring my house or bullion vans? They must be mis­chief makers because they report falsehood. They are liars and idlers.”

However, a credible source in the presidency told Daily Independent that beyond what was publicly stated in Malami’s memo to the president, one major issue against Magu is his perceived selective investi­gation and refusal to investi­gate the bullion vans allega­tions even though President Buhari, who has made the war against corruption one of the three cardinal agenda of his administration, had given him “unfettered ac­cess to go all out and probe anyone irrespective of his status in the society”.

Daily Independent re­called that in 2018, Magu had challenged those ques­tioning Tinubu’s source of wealth to write a petition and see if he would not act on it.

Magu had said: “You know what? If you are really interested, write a petition and see whether I won’t act.

“Go and write a petition and substantiate in the pe­tition and find out if I won’t act. It is not for us to listen to people on radio and begin to act.

“Yes, we have intelligence but the surest way to get ac­tion is to go and write a pe­tition and substantiate the contents of the petition and see whether I will not act.”

However, despite several petitions on the need to in­vestigate the content of the bullion vans, Magu failed to act for unknown reasons.

When he was queried by journalists in November 2019 about the petition, he responded swiftly: “Do you want me to start discussing Tinubu’s petition here? No, I can’t. Next question.”

Speaking with our corre­spondent, our source said though two petitions were written against Tinubu on the bullion vans, Magu was instructed to go ahead with his investigation and he set up two teams to probe the two petitions.

“He was instructed to go ahead with the two peti­tions and he actually set up two teams to investigate it. The outcome of the investi­gation is what he has failed to reveal.

“I want to believe with Magu’s exit, the new EFCC chairman will continue from where he stopped and I won’t be surprised if the bullion vans petitions are revisited.

“Nigerians want to know and the administration wants to prove a point that it is not selective in its an­ti-graft war.”


When contacted, a close associate of Tinubu said they believe that the protest in Abuja on the bullion vans was sponsored by some indi­viduals to embarrass Tinu­bu. He, however, said they didn’t know those behind it.

When asked if Tinubu would not be affected in anyway, he said Tinubu had nothing to do with Magu’s appointment and would not be affected even if he was removed.

“It has nothing to do with Asiwaju and it will not affect him in anyway.

“In the first place, he was not the one who appointed Magu and he never recom­mended him for the position.

“So, if those who appoint­ed him say it is time for him to go, what is Asiwaju’s busi­ness with that?”

On the bullion vans al­legations, he said: “Asiwa­ju has stated his position that he is no longer in gov­ernment and he has not received any contract from the government in the last five years. So, that settles the issue.”

Garba Shehu, Senior Spe­cial Assistant to the Presi­dent on Media and Publicity, on Tuesday said he had not been briefed on who suc­ceeds Ibrahim Magu, sus­pended acting chairman of EFCC.

There has been no official statement from the presi­dency since Monday when Magu was arrested and brought before a presiden­tial panel headed by Justice Ayo Salami in Abuja.

There has been confusion and anxiety in the commis­sion’s headquarters over who takes over as acting chairman.

The anxiety stems from the fact that Magu’s suspen­sion has not been officially communicated to the head of operations, Mohammed Umar, who, according to the EFCC Act, is the next in command to the acting chairman and acts in his absence.

Also, there appears a jostling between Umar and the commission’s secretary, Olanipekun Olukoyede, over who replaces the suspended acting chairman.

When contacted by Dai­ly Independent, Shehu said he had no knowledge of the development as he had not been briefed.


“I don’t know who takes over. I have not been briefed,” he said.

Presidential Panel Grills Staff Of EFCC

Meanwhile, the Presiden­tial Panel investigating ac­tivities of suspended acting chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Com­mission (EFCC) on Thurs­day grilled some of the staff of the agency.

These staff have been accused of committing sev­eral atrocities — including blackmailing and extorting suspects, appropriating exhibits to themselves and selling off forfeited or seized assets without remitting the proceeds to government cof­fers.

Sources said some of the staff who were grilled on Thursday were Bashir Ab­dullahi, Ishiaku Sharo, Bala Silas Sanga, Abubakar Ma­daki and Ibrahim Ahmed.

[s]Oh! I was just catching cruise dude! What is my business with Edo state!! It isn’t my business who wins or loses the election. I just commented for the sake of it...

You carried the matter on your head like Gala seller so I decided to help you patronize your market. I’m busy with work now so you can continue selling your wares somewhere else.

Bye[/s]

obonujoker:
I'm telling you there's bias ... that's why Messi has been given almost all those years...

Can you tell me why Madrid would win the league with 100 points, 121 goals and 32 home wins; and yet Mourinho won't win the best coach of the season that year??

jpmoriarti:
It was a dangerous play and a foul was rightly called. I don't know where you're bringing red card to the equation. His studs were not showing.

To justify all your recent VAR thievery, everything now for Barca merits a red card or penalty awarded and somehow we were supposedly let off the hook. So we must also be benefiting from VAR largesse.

That's how small minded Madrid fans reason.

obonujoker:
[s]This is better explanation, so Messi is always given the award... Even the seasons Ronaldo win the golden boot, they still have Messi win the best forward, why?

The year Mourinho won the laliga with a record 100 points in laliga, most home wins and highest goals scored in laliga history, you know what?? They still gave Pep best laliga coach

The year Ronaldo won laliga best player and best forward, he didn't even win the league except champions league under Ancelloti

The year Ronaldo won 5 trophies with Zidane, Messi still won laliga best player

The year Suarez won the laliga golden boot, they still gave Messi best forward

The year Antoine Greizmann won the league, why didn't they give Messi best player, even though he won the golden boot and most assists??[/s]

Enyimbamercedes:
Do you agree that NTA and Channels are propaganda stations? Now tell me which will have wider viewership; NTA which absolutely nobody watches,Channels is a bullshit station...smart people hate bullshit

3 minute clip on the internet? I bet the entire Edo have smart phones to watch the 3 minutes clip

Now picture an electronic screen showing this for free to a lot of people who will actually stop and watch it!... priceless!!!!

obonujoker:
2010/2011, why didn't Ronaldo win the best forward, although winning the golden boot??

2011/2012.... Why didn't Ronaldo win the laliga best player,seeing that he was decisive in Madrid winning the league that season??

2014/2015... Ronaldo won the golden boot with a record 48 goals... Why didn't he win best forward that year??
