Ucheosefoh:
If I may ask what were our past leaders doing in office all this years starting from Shagari
, Buhari, Babangida, Abacha, Abubakar, Obasanjo and Yar'Adua that the railway were decaying ?

My brother those people killed rail system for their trailer business to strive. Haven't you noticed that a particular tribe owns all the trailers businesses. That is why they are not supporting GEJ bc he is spoiling their monopolised businesses in many sectors.
Haven't you noticed also that he is being criticised more by these same people who will oppose anything good for the country.

duni04:
So is the PDP supossed to report to the press, or to the police or EFCC?

You read when they reminded him that his immunity will soon be over. Even if they report him now, there is nothing police, efcc or court could do. The best place to prosecute him now is the court of public opinion so that when he is eventually arrested after his tenure nobody will say he is being persecuted bc he belongs to opposition party.

Why wont them fail,why they are busy looking for answers everywhere.

...why won't they when Facebook, Bbm, Twitter, 2go and baba Ijebu will not allow them to read.
The same reasons there was mass failure at the law school...

wabuk:
Go and. Write it down fayoose will not finish his tenure in ekiti

Is it because Apc lost at the poll and now at the Tribunal? We should learn to accept defeat once.
I see another looming nationwide crisis if GMB loose again next year. Election are not won on social media. APC should connect with the masses, that is Fayose's plus.
Apc won in Osun and nobody is disturbing Ogbeni Rauf, they are all waiting for tribunal's decision, that is how to be a looser.

But why waiting till the day the tribunal threw out their (Apc) case against Fayose? Were they thinking Fayemi will be returned? I suggest they reconcile and stop allowing third party to make them throw stones into their own homes. Ekiti belongs to them all.

It happened to one of my friends, they will kidnap you, collect your ATM card, force you to disclose your pin, pass the card to another member, go to ATM Machine, withdraw till daily limit, keep you till 12am if you still have money in your account to withdraw more and if not, release you to go.
Olorun ma je ka rin ni ojo ti ebi n pa ona. May God continue to order our steps.

holluwai:
Abbey!!!, someone better tell him to get ready to relocate outta this country if GMB becomes president tomorrow

...and this is the definition of democracy Buhari is coming to offer?

UnknownT:
And he was sacrificed by GEJ to appease the Arewanistanis. Good for both parties

Even the Director General that exposed that our population census were fraudulent was kicked out bc he dared exposed the fraud of the past. I remember how this same ACF and Kwankwaso led his recommendations for sack. When it concerns the North, the more you look, the less you see.
They want GEJ to "defeat" Boko Haram but don't want him to appoint non Northerners as NSA, Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence.

Anaskie:
Its a fair judgement.

I can't fathom why the topshot lawyers representing PDP should make such a grave error.
Its elementary law that before you serve through substituted means, you should obtain the leave of court. And we are even talking about service outside jurisdiction which is governed by the SCPA!

Non-service is very fatal as it even affects the court's jurisdiction to try the matter.
The learned silks should have known this.
I'm very, very surprised.

Even the new wigs in my office can't make this fundamental mistake. Instead for PDP to engage seasoned, current and practising lawyers, they keep engaging this political lawyers (SAN) who are out of touch with current trend in legal matters. I am ashamed to see the useless mistake our learners silks are making this days.
One wonder if they ever qualified for such privilege in the first place.

balash:
Lol well to be frank is this the way to ask an unbeliever to embrace jesus and quit evil ways? U want to convert a son and u telling him to his face that his father is going to hell?? How are u sure u going to heaven yourself regardless of the fact that u a pastor?


Talk warmly with an unbeliever and they would be pleased to embrace a new faith, but act like an and your formal church would be a car park for them. Jesus never talked rudely to an unbeliever to embrace the lord.

You can't. publicly insult someone father publicly and u expect him to love u, no matter what the case may be, be warm in your speech when preaching and u will touch lives, am a muslim and I can't deny some alfa don't also preach in a vulgar way or thereabout. Religgion is something sacred, its not because u know bible or quran then u have to bring out P.A system and disturbb my peace, first learn how to speak respectably and warm then I will be pleased to listen..

Agbejo eti kan da, agba osika ni. Even when they are not addressing him, because of the life he lives, he will think he is the one they are taking to.
For example, if the pastor say don't drink, don't smoke, don't womanise, He will think the pastor is talking to him. Tell me, which of the above a sinner will hear and be comfortable?

Awaja:
To me he has d power to fix Nigeria nd turn it to Iran ,
another candidate would've done APC a little favour not d already rejected bulari

When he was in CPC in 2011 and lost the election, the North has not known peace till date, now that he has extended his nest to ACN/Apc southwest, I pray we do not have a repeat of northern crisis in Southwest if he losses again.

Pataki:
Suddenly the FP is now awashed with anti-Buhari thread.


You cannot suppress the truth. Buhari has what it takes to lead this nation out of the doldrum that Jonathan and his PDP has candidatbrought us into.


CHANGE IS COMING.

E ni ti Sango ba t'oju e wo'le, ko ni ba won bu obakoso. We have been there before, if not for tribal politics, APC has better candidates that could do better than this old and expired man, Rochas is there, Fashola is there, Oshiomole is there etc but bc of the mentality that it must be North, see where we are. (Rochas and Nda that was allowed to contest was just to give it color that Christian & other tribes are allowed to contest, they know what the are doing and who will fly the flag ab initio).

Okeikpu:
All ds old f00ls hardly die on time ⊙︿⊙ Look at Buhari for example.... (¬_¬)

My fear now is, if he chooses a Southerner and a Christian as his VP and dies few days into the government and the VP becomes the president, the North will say they are short changed again and yet they presented a quarter to die man again like in the time of Yar Adua.

Frankenstein:
Wow. America and Britain are afraid of Buhari because the general will arrest and imprison corrupt Yanks and Brits once he steps into power.

Don't forget he won't be a Military dictator by then again, so all his actions are subject to check and balances by the Legislators and the court. Wake up, the game is different!

Eziachi:
This are pure lame excuses.
So many years after Buhari left power, he is still holding the press down from exposing his corruption according to your ideas?
You forgot that OBJ looked even under his pillow to see if there is something he can pin on him but found nothing?
You think Jonathan and PDP will ignore it if they know anything substantial to pin on him?
If you are really old enough during the military era of Buhari, you will know that decree never deter good journalist at the time from exposing things of which likes of Dele Giwa paid with his life.

My people have an adage you are not expected to see blood in the mouth of a witch when she kills. I wish him well 2015 is close, may the Lord keep us all. I witnessed his rule as military head and God willing, we shall all see that what an elder sees seating, even if a child climbs Iroko tree, it can't see it.
Finally, integrity dictates that when you make a promise, you keep it, in 2007 GMB promised he will not contest again, in 2011, he made the same promise. He has not kept any. Even if they say GEJ made the same promise, it is not to the whole nation but to selected few but GMB was to all of us. He that wants equity, must come with a clean hand.

Immune1:
The army seem to be making some progress because of the help they are getting from the locals in these Nothern hot-spots; truth is if my brother is a bokoharam member, its only me that can identify him quickly. The point am making here basically is that Nigerians are begining to see that the fight one that can only be won if more people are involved.

Buhari is one of the persons who ordinarily- if he truly has Nigeria at heart as he says he does- should be constantly canvassing for more people support for the soldiers and FG......but he didnt ....thats my point.

I agree with you on this. i hv said it before, all these days, some prominent Northern leaders by their words and actions have been giving tactical and unconscious support to BH and Buhari, Sultan, El-Rufai etc are some of them. They even pleaded with the President not to use force on them and suggested he dialogue with them like Niger Delta Militants, not knowing that some of them were only using delay tactics to buy time for BH to get more daring and empowered.

When Ihejirika came, before the appointment of NSA Dansuki, he killed many of the Boko boys, the same Northern Leaders started accusing The President and Ihejirika of ethnic cleansing and even threatened to report Ihejirika to ICJ. The moment Dasuki took over, Boko boys started having upper hand. For me, I blamed GEJ because he played into the hand of some hawks who do not wish the country well. But again, I understand his predicament, he need extreme caution because anything he does or fail to do will be misinterpreted either on ethnic or religious ground. All of us criticising him should go back to history, it is still recent.

Secondly,
I know Buhari may be the APC flag bearer but for some of us who witnessed his military rule may not support his ambition because most of his selling are not realistic or true and do not meet the current reality of the nation.
Corruption
I strongly disagree with the propaganda that Buhari is corrupt free. During his rule with late Gen Tunde Idiagbon, he made several decrees to ban free press even if the publication is true. We all got to know about GEJ corruption because the press are given freedom to publish anything even if it is a lie or exaggerated. For him to claim now that he is not corrupt is a lie. He cant be trusted, because we are not privileged to know all that happened during his iron reign and does not have house of Rep or Senate to submit his budget to except the so called PRC who are soldiers that were trained to obey the last order.
Many supporters will be disappointed bc this is democracy, all his actions will be subjected to Legislators and Judiciary. Even if he arrests anybody for corruption, the person must be charged to court and the drama will begin thereafter.

Thirdly,
Now that he seeks to be the president of the country, what support does he want from the former leaders and Nigeria? This is a man that has not contributed anything, suggestion or advise to the government since he left office except inflammatory statements that gave birth to the crisis we have in the North today and by extension, the birth of BOKO crisis. Buhari does not attend Council of State meeting and the only time he associated with GEJ government was when he was given Centenary award (selfishness). That is not a leader that could be trusted.

Boss13:
This man should just give it up. PDP Lagos state delegates do not want him and yet he wants to contest under the party. The handwriting has been on the wall for long, but he refused to read and interpret.

He should seek ways to reconcile with his party members rather the foment more troubles.

He should just decamp to APC, he will be accepted and be rebranded.

.

I expect the Returning officer to come up soon to say that it was an error when he announced that they had 806 delegates, he meant to say 860 delegates. That settles the matter.
But how are we sure that it was not Koro that imported the 'ghost' extra delegates and now worked against him?

bamidele029:
Of course he should reject it. How can there be 806 delegates and then 860 votes
That one no be election

The figures are the same, just re position the 0 and 6, the figure will balance either for 806 or 860.

madridguy:
So where were you when my good friend, General Andrew Azazi " Late and former National Security Adviser said " Boko Haram is PDP and PDP is Boko Haram, if PDP want an end to the group, they know what to do.
GEJ replaced this man with immediate effect before he was later killed alongside Patrick Yakowa " Late Kaduna State governor on their way coming back from Oronto Douglas father burial. I stand to be corrected.

Sorry Bros, I just dey observe events. Probably according to you, it is PDP that bombs whenever they (PDP) organise any programmes and give total calm and bomb free gift to APC Programme. Like I said earlier, I am just observing.
It is either APC is sponsoring Boko Haram or it (APC) is getting sympathy or support of Boko Haram as some of us are supporting either of the parties here.

In a sane society, this is how it should be. Deputy succeeding their superior for continuity. It gives room for growth.

Have just observed that all APC leaders and their anointed are winning? Now I know the reason why some of the leaders can not be subordinate under anybody in other parties, they want to be in charge. The godfathers!

Was there bomb blast during the primary? I know there won't be any but if it is PDP primary or any special program, scores would have been killed. Just observing sha!

DavidHume:
Hmmmmm........my questn is which democratic governor as emerge as a governor of ds state (Lagos) and who is a full indegene of lagos........you better stop acting as a learner

Gomina Lateef Jakande
Chief Michael Otedola...

tit:
There is statute of limitation.
You cannot catch him again.

Statute of limitation does not cover crime. Crime could be prosecuted anytime however long unless it was not an offence as at the time it was committed.
More so, the perjury on Inec form is recent.

9jauk:
Best summation by all standard...Goodluck got it wrong this time around.

So, it is not human rights when Boko Haram kills but it is when soldiers killed Boko Haram? America should respect itself, Nigeria is a threat to them and they do not want us to grow and have influence in Africa. Remember what happened during Ebola case, they refused to give us their overhyped Zimap until God helped us to show them that Naija no dey carry last.
The truth is, America don't like us. The best Head of State to deal with them so far was Abacha.

BiHung:
OBJ wanted it so but didn't have the power to do so.

Only the court can. So OBJ used the court to achieve that.

Now ... The only thing GEJ can do is to make sure the court doesn't give the order. Once the. Court does, there is nothing GEJ can do.

Any attempt by GEJ to harass the judiciary's power will be considered as anarchy..and it seems that's what you are envisaging.

My dear, Burkina Faso plus Libya plus Egypt would be like cartoon

No contempt order will be issued. IG has not disobeyed any order of the court. Status quo could mean different things to different persons, depending on the angle you perceived it.
As at the time of the order, IG has withdrawn Tambuwal security details, stopped recognising him as the speaker, that is the IG's status quo.
But seriously, IG is right for refusing to recognise Tambuwal as speaker. Our constitution is clear on defection, police are empowered to enforce the law as it is. They don't need to wait for court interpretation before arresting a suspect or charge anybody to court. It is your duty to challenge them in court if you feel they wrongly enforced the law. That is why lawyer go to court for the enforcement of fundamental right when a suspect is detained more than 24 hours.
The constitution says, once you defect, you loose your seat. That is the law as it is, every other argument is sentiment not law.

akinsadeez:
Its getting very confusing. Some accounts have it that he was booed, others show the students hailing GEJ. which one are we to believe?

res ipsa loquitur the fact speaks for itself. You either believe the story with the picture or the story with no corroborative evidence. The choice is yours

soroptimist:
Sometimes i laugh at the juvenile thought-process of this 'tata' President that we have talking as if everyone/party must assist the PDP achieve its zoning policy even if its realisation will eventually hurt the existence of other party

What kind of a baby politician is GEJ who should be ashamed that his PDP Rep members betrayed him and his party by listening and following an opposition backed member than someone the party supports. Does that not signpost a lack of leadership quality in the so-called leader of the party that GEJ is?

Before anyone scoff at ACN's role in the emergence of Tambuwal,the fact remains that politics is about interest and the interest of ACN then was to make sure PDP does not have a foothold in the SW using every permissible political tactics

GEJ should quit sounding like a rain-beaten child and tell himself the home truth of the fact that he lacks the charisma to make people do his bidding. The reason people still defer to GEJ today is because he has the power to dispense political patronage n contracts

ACN's support of Tambuwal was done with a self preservation mindset at heart. It would be foolhardy to allow PDP produce a speaker that will be antagonistic and stiffling of its members potentials even if the person is a yoruba woman

Dimeji Bankole and Olubunmi Etteh's inglorious roles as Speakers of SW descent is still fresh in our memories

I beg to differ slightly sir, the issue you raised is not about ACN or PDP Reps betrayal but regional greed. The party zoned the speaker's office to the South West, yet the North used their numbers to hijack it, when you add their numbers and with the majority of APC/ACN from the west, they can achieve whatever they want. That is the reason I guess Jonathan does not want to table the National Conference report now bc the north will kill it with number strength while West APC members will join them notwithstanding the benefit to the region, just to continue to blackmail GEJ As a failure.

Imagine what would have happened if it was the north that the position was zoned to and another region hijacked it? Ordinary that Jonathan constitutionally finished the tenure of Yar Adua and stood for another election, see where we are now with most of the decampees, crisis, antagonism, insecurity coming from the North and Northerners with the support of the opposition party from the west and south.
Yet the North has:
Vice president
Senate President
"Speaker" of the House
Chief Justice of Nigeria
Chief of Army Staff
National Security Adviser
Chief of Defence
Inspector General of Police
Etc and the only position occupied by the South is being threatened daily and the one zoned to the west was hijacked by the North.
