I dont like Saraki too but how far can we go with this useless politics we play in this country? Buhari is just fighting his enemies with state owed agencies using tax payers money.

maiTurawa:
PMB is working very hard to ensure this country works but some bad citizens are pulling us back. All PMBS Decisions are not shrudded in mystery but all of us to see and under pin his sacrifices to this country.

Anyway, AYN RAND and Nathaniel Branden says "FACT DONT VANISH"

Princedapace:
When is Minister for Finance getting her own invitation and for the law to be applied here too?

U see, I dont have issues with what Saraki or what is his name is going through now, like I have always maintained, these politicians are evil and they dont care about anyone..

The issue here is that Buhari seems to protect his friends so much.. It is not about APC, if u are loyal to Buhari, he will protect u no matter what..


The worse part of it is his silence when critical issues are raised...

Look at the case of Minister of Finance...habaaa

The forced used in chasing these politicians, we also need such force to chase fulaniherdsmen who are killing people anyhow..

Pls, it is not a crime to love a politician but make una get small conscience sir.

CharleyBright:
EFCC and DSS anf the Nigerian Police Force have all become attack Agencies for Buhari to intimidate the opponents.
Nigeria is under a Dictator.
They will soon go after Pastor Oyedepo with some spurious allegations for asking Buhari to resign if he can't stop the killings of Innocent Nigerians.
Where is Abacha today?
The Lord prevailed then and Nigerians were happy.
The Lord will surely prevail once again and Nigerians will be happy.

So he should support pdp abi

Rubbish plus nonsense...

prof12:
Faroooq or what's your name, you will die a HATER of Buhari.

Leave Buhari alone, relax and preserve your life for future

Everything has its time. If you believe in God then you should know is Buhari's time.

Is only God that can take Buhari out of Aso Rock Villa not some dark hearted people like you and some sick oppositions.

edupedia:
....i know him... he is a zaky-zaky follower.... he never saw anything good in Buhari before he was elected because of his sect... he stays in the US and is under investigation bythe FBI as an agent of Iran....

Alleged o whittle down Tinubu’s political influence in S’West

Say some govs working against Tinubu’s interest in Osun

As the 2019 presidential election draws closer, some political associates of the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, have expressed fear that President Muhammadu Buhari may turn against Tinubu after the 2019 elections.

Tinubu’s associates, who served in different capacities while he was the governor of Lagos State, equally doubted whether Tinubu made the right judgment to support the president’s re-election in 2019.

Some of his associates recently spoke with THISDAY in confidence, wondering what would likely be the fate of the APC leader if he “eventually helps Buhari win a second term in office as the president of Nigeria.”
One of the associates, who served in the Lagos State Executive Council between 2003 and 2007, noted that the president might want “to use Tinubu to win Lagos and South-west and afterwards, dump him.”

He disclosed that Tinubu’s political allies “have been putting pressure on him to reconsider his decision to support Buhari’s re-election.”
“It appears Asiwaju is resolute to support Buhari despite the way he was treated after he helped Buhari win 2015 presidential election.”
The associate said even though Tinubu shrugged off the warning of his trusted associates repeatedly, realities would eventually dawn on him at last that his judgment to support Buhari’s re-election was not right

He explained that Buhari “has never been comfortable with Tinubu’s vast financial resources”. According to him, the president was also said to be uncomfortable with Tinubu’s political influence, not only in the South-west states, but also across the federation.
“Buhari may choose to cut him to size after his re-election,” the associate said.

Another associate, who is working closely with the APC leader, noted that many of the people to whom Buhari had concentrated powers had not hidden their disapproval of Tinubu.

“When the time comes, the president will simply become inaccessible. The sharks within the administration will turn against Tinubu. They have done it before. They are going to do it again. But Tinubu is not looking at issues from this perspective.

“Buhari could not have come back to Tinubu if the Minister of Works, Power and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola could really secure him victory in Lagos State. Buhari returned to Tinubu because none of his new friends could help him win election in Lagos and South-west states,” the associate said.

He revealed that Buhari actually preferred Fashola; Ondo State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Akeredolu; his Ogun State counterpart, Sen. Ibikunle Amosun; Ekiti State Governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, but could not depend on them alone to win the majority of votes in the South-west.
Another associate said Tinubu’s political allies were jittery “due to how Buhari treated the APC leader shortly after he was elected president.”

“Despite his contribution to Buhari’s election, he was at a time denied access to the president to the chagrin of his supporters,” he added.
He said the APC national leader should learn from the treatment meted out to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who, despite his support for Buhari after losing the APC’s presidential primary, was isolated and had his business interest harmed by a government he helped put in place.
He explained that the first thing they did was “to turn against his business interest.

They claimed the contract between the Nigerian Port Authority (NPA) and Intels, in which Atiku has interest, violated the 1999 Constitution.
“What did Atiku do wrong? What offence did he commit? They simply consider him too rich and too powerful for them. Thus, they tag him a threat to the Buhari government. That is the way they see Tinubu,” he said.

The source cited how the presidency “played former APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, against Tinubu”.
“In order to satisfy Tinubu, the presidency has suddenly realised that Odigie-Oyegun is weak and undeserving to remain as the party’s national chairman. The plot to deal with Tinubu is well known to some privileged northerners within the president’s inner circle. Tinubu cannot deny that such a plot exist,” he said.

An entirely different source shared the fear of Tinubu’s political associates, disclosing that some South-west governors had started working subtly against Tinubu’s interest in Osun State just after APC’s victory in Ekiti State.

Already, the source claimed that some South-west governors “have started promoting the candidacy of the Secretary to Osun State Government, Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, in the presidency against Tinubu’s interest and contrary to understanding they reached before Ekiti State election.
“Tinubu agreed to support the Fayemi candidacy on the ground that he would be given privilege to choose the governorship candidate in Osun State. They all agreed to this condition at a meeting facilitated by the Presidency. But they have started breaching this agreement. Subtly, they have been funding and promoting Adeoti against Tinubu’s interest. They are simply working to whittle down Tinubu’s political influence in the South-west states,” the source explained.

VULCAN:
If you had bothered to peruse a few of LibertyReps posts you would have known that he is no Jonathan hater.

I was a Jonathan supporter myself but as the election drew near he lost my unwavering support(although NOTHING in Heaven or Earth could have made me support Buhari)and I sensed he was going to lose for a myriad of reasons. One of which was the lacklustre campaign, another was his condoning Tinubu-Jega moves.

But the real reason he eventually lost was only revealed to me as I watched him on Buhari's inauguration. Jonathan was elated that day- no acting. The man was so happy to handover. That's when I realised the man was actually tired of the post and if you know inside stories of how he got there it's clear The Presidency was what his wife wanted not him.

My anger with Jonathan was due to his all round cowardice. Nothing stopped him from damning his wife and cronies and inviting Atiku (not because Atiku is a saint but definitely because he was and remains the only man who can beat Buhari) to hand over the PDP primaries. Atiku would have won 2015 election and Nigeria would be better off today

Instead he just meekly went to slaughter (against opponents that were highly determined and ready to use all manner of demonic lies and propaganda against him).

He was and remains a weakling. A good man. A man that will never shed blood. But a weakling just the same.

The biggest lesson I learnt from that drama is

Never Give Power To A Weak Man, For He Is Bound To Lose It

hush15:
You are absolutely right. Hate and lack of reasoning, couldnt make people beyond their nose. GEJ far out bettet Buhari in everything despite his errors. He even admits his mistakes but the pschophant we have now believes he is infallible. I must give it to GEJ, he is still the best Nigerian President yet

Omeny:
You are a true Son of your Father.

God Bless You.

LibertyRep:
I am convinced that PMB isn't what he was projected and packaged to be in the build up to 2015 general elections. Kemi's case is a huge embarrassment or how do we explain the fact that it took the President six good months shopping for her.

But the blame will still go to PDP for messing up greatly and to GEJ for being acutely docile and ineffectual so much that GMB became an option in the first instance.

Except integrity has another meaning, no Nigerian politician has it yet.

achorladey:
What context are you talking about? Do you read the concluding part of the post? Must the christian leader legislate into private issues of intending mature christians who want to get married? Heb 5:13, 14. Must the leaders be an ARBITER on such issues?

Law of love I know is better and superior than legalism and legalistic approach attached to christian life and issues.

When they change their latest policies and rulings on this same issue dont cry blue murder or FAULTY WISDOM on all the mistakes it would have resulted into. More mistakes will result from this latest policy and more of their adherent will not only CIRCUMVENT it but become HARDENED about hiding their medical predicament about matters of this nature.

Redoil:
What do you expect from people whose palm has been gressed

Paperwhite:
Vote buying is an electoral fraud so it have electoral consequence.

achorladey:
1 Cor 7:23 ..........Stop becoming slaves of men, you are bought with a heavy price. Policies, decrees like this only makes you as a Christian relinquish some of the freedom Christ bought for you at a high price. Policies like these not supported scripturally will only make Christian under this denomination enslaved, hardened, disillusioned towards issues bordering on premarital activities.
So where is the faith, where is the love? These are the qualities that should supersede all this minor issues. Issues that should never be legislated upon in the christian community. It seems Christians never really love one another, its just loved expressed from a distance after all because love as described in
1 Cor 13:5-7 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Keywords:does not dishonor other........ Self seeking....not delight in evil......always trust.......always hope....... Romans 13:10 loves does no harm to a neighbour. Whose is that neighbour.....your partner in marriage to be........intending marriage spouse........
key all these into this latest policy or decree you will agree the policy becomes meaningless.

achorladey:
What led to all of this? This is because individuals who calls themselves Christian are not mature enough spiritually to discern what is right and what is wrong. In mans quest to be led man totally forget they will surrender their freedom to such leaders. What will such leaders do to such freedom given to them? They continually legislate and use authority to subject those under their leadership knowing too well their followers are too weak to decide simple matters on marriage including those bordering on premarital activities. Christians are becoming too weak to read, meditate and ponder hard on the scriptures they carry about. They want to go the easy way, everything in black and white written for them. Unfortunately they will still have difficulty applying the policies their denomination is giving them.

saintol:
I can not say what RCCG has done is good or bad. who am l? But I taught when a brother or a sister has seen someone he or she wants to marry, they are told to pray and seek counsel from God if the person is his wife or her husband first. What if both have prayed or probably it is show to the pastor in a vision by God that they are destined to be couple. Then prior to the marriage this so call test is conducted and it is now stated "scientifically" that they are not compatible. Which side will the church support, God's given vision or the scientific report? I know God performs things beyond human reasoning which we call miracle. All the miracles we have seen or heard him performed are beyond scientific explanation. What if the intention of God is to use them as a point of miracle which could even trigger many to even believe more in God? Have you forgotten God uses what is not to shame or surprise what is? And one other thing, that you are tested and found potent or free even before marriage does not mean after the marriage you will be potent or something evil will not occur. What if something now happened after the marriage such the one of the couple is affected? There could be a case whereby an accident occurred thereby rendering the man impotent, so of what use is the test you have conducted before the marriage. That which you wanted to prevent has now occurred after the marriage. how will you handle that? We should sometimes use something for something because what I have seen here is like wanting to use science to do what should have been done by the church itself which claims to believe in God through vision, "abi nna no dey see vision ni". This brings me to the story of Uzzah in the book of 2 Samuel. Read 6:6. Only God is wonderful in counsel.

Nothing should be "fishy" to you except you're lacking in understanding of INEC rules.......
1. INEC (through the Presiding officer) did collate and declare (announce) the result at each polling boot didn't they?....do you refute this fact?
2. There is no law that require INEC to paste results at each polling boot.....the law requires INEC to collate (of a polling boot) at each polling boot and transmit same to Collation Officers at higher levels



3. On the Ekiti State governor's action announcing results on TV and Radio......you're just in denial and supporting wrong. If not for immunity, he should have been arrested for that act. He went on air to announce result when INEC was collating result sent from polling boots in LGs and yet to announce the authentic result.

Go do something better with your time. The below link should get you thinking.

frowland:
The country is messed up mate. There is hunger in the land for a very long time, and you will not expect a hungry person not to accept money. Its practically impossible. After all, Fayemi, Fayose are different faces of the same coin.
Buhari bailed out ekiti since November 2017 and until now, Fayose have not paid a dime. Does that not also concern you? Where did all that money go? Start asking the hard question instead of supporting rogues. If fayemi cannot pay salaries, they should vote him out.

mapet:
Let me answer your two questions above.

1. Election results at each polling both was counted in the public space and not only announced to the voters present, but also made available to the media. That is why media outlets like TheCable, ThisDay, Vanguard etc. were able to publish as many as they got, even before INEC. Secondly, each party had party agents at each polling booth who by law are required to signed the election results after it had been collated and agreed to. Are you telling me that PDP party agents signed what they disagreed with? Pasting result in each polling boot as you said during Jega's era, is relative. Standard practices (law) say it must be publicly announced and party agents sign. So this holds no water

2. It is not my perogative to be "sure" election results were not doctored. What is the need for useless speculation that is not based on veritable facts? This is another needless question. If any party can show proof that indeed election results were doctored, let him go to tribunal

Ijaya123:
I hold no brief for anybody but you need to support your allegation with fact, if not it is just mere rant.

Sleekfingers:
Fayose fayose fayose you have nothing to worry about if your hands are clean.
Fayose find a way to apologize to buhari o. Or else prison awaits you o. I don talk my own o. Those supporting you on social media won't come and visit you or help you o. A word is enough for the wise.

kunletexs:
then somebody should also probe your past position to see if you have no skeleton in your cupboard

frowland:
Well that's all your opinion, let them go to court. Sentiments don't win any case.
Regarding bribery, let me tell you APC as a party will deny as there is no evidence that the person dolling out money was APC member neither will they accept giving out such instructions even though we know otherwise. If tinubu and his friends decide to doll out money to electorate, that is not the position of the party APC.
Secondly, regarding police brutality on agents, I am yet to see ONE agent out of 2300 polling agent who testified on any video so far that he was arrested or brutalized. Please show me any if you have.. unless they are kept secrete as you guys always claim but how can you keep 2300 agents maltreatment secret? How can that be possible?

Ijaya123:
PDP has been doing that for 16 years. Long enough to master the art. APC just dey learn.

Until the masses have a sense of value and self-worth, politicians will continue to have their way.

Hedonisst:
You people should stop being stupid abeg. So where is the "change" that Buhari and the APC promised? More importantly, where did Fayemi and the APC get the billions used in bribing voters?

Yet everyday, we hear the EFCC going after Metuh and others because of so-called PDP election campaign funds sourced from Dasuki. Is this not disgusting hypocrisy and madness? When will they investigate the source of APC's campaign/election funds?
