APC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Naija Politickering

We are waiting to see

Is NLC now a political party?

.

...

Wishing them a wonderful life outside the barracks

New rounds of ramblings don start be that

that is what I will call a case of thinking ahead,

why why why?

Na wao

Really ?

And that is what I call a rear show of a large heart

The man na 2 in one?

I hope we can all emulate this

and put aside undue sentiments

and handle issues they way they ought to be handled

arms folded and waiting as events unfold

Lilimax:
The growing production of shale oil and gas in the United States (US) has drastically affected
US imports of Nigerian crude oil and liquefied natural ...
A potential set back to us if I may say

It's high time Nigeria focused on the real sector and give the necessary support it requires

I would say this is better for us

We would now be forced to look into other sectors

and take our minds off oil

I believe we were doing better without oil than with it

This is coming a bit late

I hope it would not end up as a futile activity

This gonna be interesting

If this guy succeeds in picking the PDP ticket,

he'll surely give APC a run for their money

Now now now


Na to fear fear be that ooo

if this is true and not mere propaganda


Chai naija politicians

Associates of All Progressives Congress, APC
leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu are lining
up three possible running mates for Major-
General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) should the
former head of state prevail in the
forthcoming presidential nomination
convention of the party.
The synergy between Team Buhari and the
Tinubu camp was formally brought to public
light last Wednesday when many of Tinubu's
political associates, including his wife, Senator
Oluremi Tinubu got prominent presence at
Buhari's public declaration for the presidency
in Abuja.
The three prospective running mates,
according to Vanguard sources are Prof. Yemi
Osinbajo, a former commissioner in Lagos
State, Senator Ajayi Borofice presently
representing Ondo North in the Senate and
Mr. Wale Edun, a former commissioner in
Lagos State.
Two other choices in the consideration of
Team Buhari, the immediate past governor of
Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and another
former governor of Ekiti State, Otunba Niyi
Adebayo were said to have been taken off the
radar by the Asiwaju forces on account of
political differences.
The intrigues in the relationship between Dr.
Fayemi and Tinubu reached a crescendo last
week when Tinubu absented himself from the
commissioning of the Ekiti State Government
Liaison House in Lagos.
On the scheduled day of the commissioning,
the APC leader was said to have become
invisible, sources close to the development
told Vanguard, a fact that seemed to underline
the increasing political disconnect between
the once close men.
The projection of the three men, Borofice,
Osinbajo and Edun by the Tinubu camp follows
the rejection by the mainstream of the party
of a Muslim-Muslim ticket that would have
seen a Buhari- Tinubu ticket.
Sources say that Tinubu may have lately
withdrawn himself to that fact and is now
believed to be preparing himself to position
his own man to be a possible number two
man for the country.
The consideration of Osinbajo Vanguard learnt
is based on the twin factors of his relatively
clean character and respect in the Christian
community. Osinbajo, who served as attorney
general and commissioner for justice in the
Tinubu cabinet has won a respectable image
as a senior pastor in the Redeemed Christian
Church of God.
He is said to be fairly close to Pastor Enoch
Adeboye, the general overseer of the RCCG.
Those rooting for him say that positioning him
on the ticket would balance any insinuation
on the country drifting towards an Islamic
path as some critics of Buhari have sought to
assert.
The consideration of Senator Borofice, it was
learnt, was aimed at strategically breaking up
the hold of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
in the Ekiti/Ondo axis, where the PDP is
presently known to have set its foothold.
"By bringing out Borofice, who is about the
only APC senator elected official in the Ekiti/
Ondo axis, we can push for presence in the
two states given that the PDP is in control of
those two states," a close associate of Tinubu
said at the weekend.
Edun, who is reported to be the third person
under consideration served as commissioner
of finance for the two terms Governor Tinubu
between 1999 and 2007 and he is said to be
in position to bring relative youth to a
presidency under Buhari's watch.
"Our consideration of Edun is on the need of
young blood given that Buhari is now of age
and would need, young savvy men to keep
him in track," a source said.
Both Osinbajo and Borofice were acclaimed at
Buhari's declaration. Edun's presence at the
event could not be confirmed at press time.
One other prospective nominee, Senator
Olurunnimbe Mamora Vanguard learnt was
like Dr. Fayemi not being favourably
considered by the Tinubu camp ostensibly
because of his independent trait, which
reportedly came to fore in the testy days
leading to Governor Babatunde Fashola's
certification of a second term ticket in 2011.
Mamora was also present at Buhari's event.

Outgoing Minister for State for
Defence, Musiliu Obanikoro declared
yesterday that his interest in taking a shot at
the governorship of Lagos State, was to rescue
the state from unnamed individuals that have
put the state in bondage and to stop the
commercialization of its governance.
The minister who spoke when he inspected the
ministry's Quarter Guard set by the Defence
headquarters in his honour as part of
activities marking his sendforth yesterday also
expressed hope in the success of the ceasefire
deal struck between the Federal Government
and the Boko Haram sect, saying it will bring
about the much needed peace in the North
East.
Obaniokoro expressed gratitude to President
Goodluck Jonathan, the Minister of Defence,
General Aliyu Gusau and the staff of the
ministry for the support given him while in
office.
His words: "We came in at a very difficult
time for the country and I thank God we have
been able to strongly put in hard work to
ensure that value is added to what we met on
the ground, and some of the successes that
we have seen in terms of stability in the
country is part of the contribution that we
have also made as part of the ministry of
defence family.
"Funding will always be a challenge, the
commitment and the effort we have put in so
far with Mr. President at the helm of affairs;
we are making progress. From a nation of
anything goes to a nation where we are
bringing about stability. We have conquered
the issue of militancy in the Niger/Delta; the
Boko Haram issue will also be a thing of the
past.
"I'm excited; things like this don't come easy,
a lot of sleepless nights have gone into it. We
must salute Mr. President for the courage and
the conviction that we must have peace than
to have war," he stated.
On his ambition to govern Lagos state, he
said, "Lagos is under bondage and for the
liberation of Lagos; I want to liken it to
General Gowon's phrase that it is a task that
must be done.
"As a native Lagosian, I am committed to the
liberation of Lagos. Commercialisation of
Lagos as a way of governance is something we
must put an end to," Obanikoro said.
The permanent Secretary, Aliyu Ismaila and
staff of the ministry expressed happiness with
the minister for his commitment while he
served and wished him luck in his future
endeavour.
"ObaniKoro is going and leaving us with mixed
feelings. Firstly, he has created a gap, a
vacuum that will be difficult to fill. As staff we
see him as somebody who is result-oriented,
one who at any given time, wants to add value
to whatever he is doing.
"He is committed to his job, a patriotic
Nigerian who believes in the leadership of this
country. He has provided us a pact and we
are following. We wish we will also be with
him in Lagos so that he gets his ambition
fulfilled. We are sad but we are also happy
for him. We pray that God Almighty will
answer his prayers."

If he were to be a black guy

I hail thee

Fayose better thread softly

barcanista:
Mr. Seun you are a pitiable person. I expect that you would have done some sober reflection by this time. Is it because we call Jonathan Mr. Clueless and the PDP a Killer Party that you want to Gag our views? Do not use your own hand to ruin your forum-It is just a brotherly and friendly advise.

RUBBISSSSSSHHHHHH
