Obasanjo's enduring Mystique , power and influence stems from the simple fact that despite his non charismatic persona, he is always on the right side of history.

Obasanjo has been there, done that.
He understands Nigeria, Nigerians and the dynamics of Nigerian politics more than a lot of these hotheaded, dumb political neophytes.

And most importantly, he has an honest and dedicated commitment to the Nigerian project.

If I were Buhari, I would always take Obasanjo's counsel very very seriously.

You just closed the case.

The mods can close the thread at this point

You mean even the PDP have abandoned him? even Bode George, his very good friend has turned to an enemy?

Or did APC secretly take over the govt while GMB was on-board British airways flight to UK yesterday morning?

This life....hmmmm

So Nigeria will be forced to cough out $477m out of what we don't have??

omolami:
Recent events calls for suspicion on whether Osinbajo truly might have signed the document. resigning his post as VP even before the party won d election as proclaimed by pastor Bakare. We are concerned about Atiku representing Buhari in most events nowadays. If truly Osinnbajo signed such documents, then the North wants nigeria to split earlier than expected. We shall abhor Muslim/Muslim ticket and fight it to the end

I hope your hate and paranoia won't finish you eventually

So even if they told you that Osinbajo signed your imaginary document, you'll believe Atiku will become the next VP right? or what are you insinuating? i assumed intelligence is required for posting on this site?

Meanwhile, can you name the programmes where Atiku has represented GMB lately?

kemdaniels:
This one is strong jeez,and you need a really strong leader to oversee a country in such a state,not some old man who blieves in travelling to another country so often he looks like some puppet.

Your pedestrian postulation is even stronger

GMB's victory must have hurt you greatly You just had to bring his name in to explain why the currency of Venezuela is in free-fall

What other calamity will you attach to his first trip to the UK in 3 months? the migrant crises in south east Asia?

If GMB isn't a strong leader, who is? Bros J?

If GMB whom your master and his associates wasted taxpayers money trying to paint as a rigid, dictatorial, fanatical muslim and stubborn leader is a puppet of the west, I'm sure you wouldn't be caught dead mentioning arch angel Jona who COULDN'T control Diezani talk-less of his wife as the non-puppet?

Don't worry, the UK govt haven't forgotten he's the man who tried to crate one of Jona's fathers(according to GEJ himself) from the UK to answer corruption cases in Nigeria neither have they forgotten his govt jailed Britons and seized a British airways plane in retaliation for their reaction to the incident. If you don't know, they know and are very sure he can't be anybody's puppet

papaejima1:
Seems the guy rests in London every month. No?

NO

babadem2much:
He needs rest but he would have waited for the inuagural ceremony though.
my thought :
he may be acting on security reports

go rest come back n assume control with iron fist



#babaeverywhereyougo

sai baba

@the bold, do you know that's the first thought that came to my mind too??

GMB has obviously not forgotten the military part of him even if he's dropping General from his particulars

he was indeed a brilliant man

legend indeed

doctokwus:
If he starts listening to her,then how many other people is he going to listen to?
PMB is just sending a message that he is neither the efcc or a judge; if u have a case to answer its for d law enforcement agencies to so determine and for them to arraign u for trial,then a judge determines d culpability of d accused.
If he starts entertaining every person with a guilty conscience,then he wudnt do any other thing because the queue would stretch from Lagos to Chibok in Borno!

very true

Ama80:
He wud have at least listened to her. Wit da attitude, he has already pronounced her guilty. Hypocrisy and double standard. Na yr way. let's see how u treat ur ppl wit corruption tag.

he isn't pronouncing her guilty...

He just didn't wish to be disturbed. Didn't you read that even some of his associates didn't know about his trip and he went with only 1 aide?

Na because of Diezani he enter British airways?

ozoigbondu:
Cultism is a scourge

Yeah it is....

It's being the bane of ONELGA since 2010. The political crises in Rivers state simply exacerbated it

nwafuluozoh:
Amaechi's foot army decreasing by the day!

I doubt this is Amaechi's handwork because nothing called APC is allowed any space in ONELGA and it's environs bro

Ask those who know that area...it belongs to Felix Obuah aka 'Go-round' the PDP state chairman

Hmmmmm........

why the desperation??

PORT HARCOURT – At least twenty six suspected cultists have been reportedly killed by men of the Rivers state Anti Robbery Squad, SARS , in a forest around Obesemini community in Egi part of Ogba Egbema Ndoni local government area.

A resident of one of the nearby communities told Vanguard the incident happened yesterday afternoon.

The source who chose to be anonymous said security operatives stormed the hideout of the suspected cultists and opened fire on them.

Continuing, the source said the security men abandoned the corpses of the cultists in the bush.

Some of those killed were allegedly behind bloodletting in the local government area, where no fewer than forty persons have been murdered by the cultists in the last three months in the area.

When contacted, the state Police public Relations Officer, DSP Ahmad Muhammad denied knowledge of the incident, thus confirming speculations that the Police would be discreet about it.

A top security source who seemed anonymity told Vanguard that the operation was carried out by SARS. ” The ops was conducted by SARS (Police)”.

Meantime, the Police command has announced restriction of movement from 10pm to 6am Saturday morning, adding that movement would be further restricted from 10 am to 6pm Saturday.

The sycophants know you only do that to get the notice of folks given to vain glory and GMB isn't one to pander to the gallery so they would rather not waste their funds....

I guess they'll try to devise another means to get his attention because all those adverts are simply business moves, nothing about genuine concern or affection.

nice

where do i start this sweet laughter from??

There was indeed a party

You mean all the time the shameless basket mouth was ranting and insulting GMB, Amaechi, Tinubu, APC etc, he wasn't even a member and PDP didn't bother to find out?

If this is how PDP and GEJ selected those who ran the country, it's no wonder we are where we are today.

FFK, Oya.....abuse their lineage as only you are able to do

Sorry, anything from that hustler Sam Nda is not worth anybody's time.

i understand my friend but no matter how many strokes you use, it won't hide the fact that his prediction of January 2014 came to fruition

Sam Nda Isaiah wrote this piece a little over a year ago. How apt it turned out to be

My people, it's worth a read

Bamanga Tukur was finally thrown out last week. President Jonathan and Dame Jonathan finally threw in the towel and withdrew their support when it became clear that insisting on Bamanga was increasingly becoming implausible. It was a great pity that a person of Bamanga’s pedigree and upbringing would have to be removed, kicking and screaming without any form of self-respect. I refrained throughout from making any comments on Bamanga because of my indirect personal relationship with him. I could not believe at a point that Bamanga could say that he was the only one who could guarantee that Jonathan is returned as president as his reason for wanting to remain. That level of sycophancy was extremely embarrassing to some of us. Bamanga has made good as a person from a very early age and it is really a thing of sadness that he had to be doing this now. Thank God he has finally been saved from himself. Pity!

But the opposition APC is not happy that Bamanga left eventually. Two people that would have made APC’s 2015 job easier were President Jonathan and Bamanga himself. Bamanga continued to fragment his party, speaking “anyhow”, suspending governors and insulting others that they (APC men) could afford to go on vacation for a few days if they wanted to. A few months ago, I confronted a leader of the APC accusing the leaders of wasting too much time. He asked why I was so worried when Bamanga and Jonathan were excellently “doing our work for us”. We had a good laugh. It was true. The APC will miss Bamanga sorely.

But, as I once said on this page, the disorder and total confusion that has now engulfed the PDP is clearly God-ordained. It is God’s hand that is at work to save the weeping people of Nigeria. And, no matter who emerges as Bamanga’s successor, the PDP will continue to slide until it finally crashes.

Twenty-four hours to the emergence of the new PDP chairman, a fresh crisis had already started. The governors wanted Alhaji Gambo Lawan but Dame Patience wanted and insisted on Alhaji Idris Umar. I don’t know what her business in this matter is. I tried to find out who Diezani was supporting, to know where the pendulum would eventually swing, but I was not successful. This means that whoever emerges would start with unnecessary problems. But, more importantly, the coming PDP crisis that would make the Second World War child’s play and make a complete fool of whoever is chairman has been reserved for the time after President Jonathan has declared his intention to seek re-election.

The problem was only 10 per cent Bamanga, even though Bamanga was most unfair to himself by allowing himself to get into that rubbish. Jonathan and his 2015 ambition constituted 90 per cent of the problem. And the president’s 2015 problem is not really the fact that he entered into an agreement with anyone in 2011 not to contest or “it is the turn” of the north. It is simply because he has so mismanaged the country that there is the genuine fear among most Nigerians that, if allowed to remain in power beyond 2015, he could irreversibly destroy the country.

But, again, tell me which PDP chairman has left the throne without having to be forced out? President-elect Olusegun Obasanjo started scheming to remove Solomon Lar, the pioneer chairman, even before he was sworn in as president in 1999. The same Obasanjo forced Lar’s successor, Barnabas Gemade, out. Audu Ogbeh, the best of them all, was forced out by the same Obasanjo with a gun cocked to his head. I cannot immediately remember the circumstances under which Ahmadu Ali left. His successor, Vincent Ogbulafor, was removed by Jonathan and sent straight to the EFCC so he could answer to charges allegedly committed six years before he became chairman. He is still in court trying to avert a jail sentence. Dr Bello Haliru, who took over from Ogbulafor in an acting position, had to leave because the chairmanship slot was zoned by the party to the north-east. He was appointed minister of defence by Jonathan who subsequently disgraced him out of office. Bamanga Tukur’s PDP adventure is now history. The next PDP chairman may not be as lucky as Bamanga.

really??

PDP belongs to the cattle rearers i guess

Na joke i dey o

I laugh in ogbia language

See billions flying all over the place??

I'm very sure these contracts have already being paid in full and Jona's friends are not interested in completing them. Why should they when their friend was poised to 'win' the election?

GMB, pls listen to the cry from ogbia o and come to their aid from the hawks preying on them

mployer:
well, He said the economy is worst of it but statistics said otherwise.


But Frankly speaking they should stop talking about GEJ government and concentrate on how to deliver on their promise... Gej didn't inherent a buoyant economy either.

Even Aragbesola said he couldn't Pay his staff salary because Gej made economy bad, yet his state allocation was paid in full.

Can you give a honest statistics of what GEJ met and what he's leaving?

No be small thing

hadura29:
Noo my lord I was just being helpful ni ooooo..... Sowi sir....










Kikikikiki

Hahahaha

No problems

MaziOmenuko:
I have something against this dude: He accepted the controversial advert from Gov Fayose insinuating that GMB will die in office! I read his wishy-washy excuse and attempt at explaining this horrid act few weeks past.

This was part of his explanation:



A fellow nairalander asked then:



I am not comfortable with this at all!

Well, you have a point but I think this even helps confirm again that GMB has a large heart.

He obviously looked past this flaw to the other qualities of the guy. I think that is a strong message being passed: No witch hunting.

grandstar:
okay. I get your point

Thanks bro

Burger01:
Baba would tell you 'thank you but I've made my choice oo'

He will just say "get the behind me, saTAN"

hadura29:
Let me give you his number.... So that you can remind him....

You need lessons in sarcasm and humour my friend

Roric:
I and mine would be Fools.............!

Yeah right

arewafederation:
What is wrong with GMB? Isn't he supposed to islamize Nigeria?

I think he has forgotten....we need to remind him

omenka:
Well, I don't know him but I trust Baba to make very wise choices.

Wish him well.

He's a very calm and articulate person. Not garrulous at all. I think he's even a conservative christian.....heard sometime ago that he attends Deeperlife church. (this isn't an addition to his CV o...for those eager to misunderstand me)

He's a very wise choice in my estimation if it turns out to be confirmed.

Femi Adesina is a fine journalist. Love the way he and Orji Kalu have maintained their relationship despite being on opposite sides of the political divide.

I believe it's a very good appointment.

Congrats to both GMB and Femi
