Is that your way of campaigning dearest customer?!

Well, We have heard you Customer daada.
Thanks for the info.

Btw, have you started the new career jagaban advised you to consider?!

Please, face the message and not the messenger. It appears you are ok that governance has broken down in Lagos State due to too much politics in the ruling party and intimidation of an elected executive governor. Is that not a cause for concern? Are you telling us that 'Jagban' is responsible? Don't you think Lagos State needs deliverance from the stranglehold of an individual or a cabal? I expect another diversionary propaganda from you as usual.

There is hardly any saints in politics. Nigerians will discover how honest the government in power now is when they are succeeded by the opposition. Nigeria is in the woods. The men of 'integrity' have done their best and we know the results. We need competent people to get us out of our dire economic and security challenges. Let's reject propaganda and divisive ethnic sentiments that is only benefiting the political class. Let us try Atiku Abubakar. If he does well, fine. If he doesn't, we vote him out until we get it right. Thank you.

Righteousness89:
Happy NEW YEAR THE WORLD'S Greatest And Boldest President!!!

I Love you and Love what GOD is using you to do in the USA!

I just like this man.

AgbariOjukwu1:
True.

But why if I may ask?

kayusely70:
A man playing god doesnt deserve any sympathy, he should roast in his own steaming stew

It is bad and condemnable for any mortal to play God. However, it is ironical that those condemning Amosun for playing God in Ogun State are OK with the one playing God in Lagos State.

Ovamboland:
No sane person will say such about Atiku with his well known antecedent. Do you know he bought NACHO when he ok presided over privatisation of government assets only recently sold it maybe to raise cash for this election.
That's one among many

Thank you very much Mr Sane. I know you are the Omniscient One Who knows what the incumbent is doing right now. I don't know of any saint in partisan politics. Those who claim that a person they don't know his mind and what he does in secret, is a saint are only being conceited and are as 'sane' as you are. Wait till the 'saint' gets out of power and is succeeded by the opposition, then you can know the true meaning of sainthood in politics. Nigeria is in the woods. We are looking for competent people to get us out of it. We have seen what one of them is capable of doing. It is only when we test the other that we can empirically compare and contrast. Any other thing is hatred induced, one-sided, partial judgment. Thank you.

Ovamboland:
So because politicians want to win elections, those struggling traders should wait......how wicked can the privileged be

Noone is saying the struggling traders should wait. The begging questions are: (1) why is the APC government only remembering to share 'trader moni' to traders a few weeks to elections, why did they not start it earlier(2) must the Vice President and other political office seekers of the ruling party, in spite of their busy schedules, be physically present in the markets for the scheme to work?

ItsMeAboki:
Let your principal dare go to America as an ordinary citizen not as a presidential candidate (without the privileged courtesy of immunity) just Fayose challenged Aisha Buhari to do same to clear her name - and lost.

Lets see whether he will return to 9ja without tasting American jail.

No one is taking panadol for anyone's headache; you must remember that Atiku is a public figure and a presidential candidate and therefore duty bound to prove his integrity as he is currently portraying to the electorate.

I never knew that the US law is a respecter of presidential ccandidates. Well, Atiku is already a presidential candidate of a major political party. There is nothing anybody can do about it. My point is that electioneering campaigns should be based on achievements in office, track records, competence and of course character. If the ruling party had done well enough, Atiku would not have been an option they wouldn't have bothered themselves about where he goes and doesn't. Thank you.

JuanDeDios:
Which sword? Yorubas and Igbos do business together and intermarry every day of the week. The idiots who spend all day calling people Afonja and Ipob don't represent anyone.

In other words, those doing so are neither here nor there.

nkemjacob2:
That video is cooked up.

I'm also an agent registering people in the trader moni.

Their is no such tin as providing ur voters card or caterial before then could register u.

OK.

revelation2013:
Nobody asked these guys to be saying these o. I was a tradermoni agent under my senior friend who was a contractor to BOI for more than a month and nobody asked us to tell the traders to vote for anybody. The only thing we advised them on is to make sure they pay back so they can get more.

I am not a politician and not even Buhari's supporter but I believe these guys are saying what they weren't sent to say.

You may be right Sir. But you can only vouch for yourself, not others. You really cannot blame Nigerians, especially the opposition for suspecting the motive for this 'trader moni' less than two months to elections. If the PDP were the ones involved in this scheme, I am sure the APC, who claim to be saints, in their usual holier than thou attitude, would have demonized them as corrupt vote buying thieves. The ruling party cannot be said not to have a political undertones in this particular 'trader moni' issue. The other day, I saw the governorship candidate of the APC and the Lagos State governor accompanying the Vice President while he was embarking on the scheme. Please, with their busy schedules, can't the scheme go on without their physical presence?

I respect the late Francis Adekunle Fajuyi for his principles, unalloyed loyalty to the late J T U Aguiyi Ironsi, as well as his friendship and courage. It shows that not all Yorubas are traitors as alleged. How I wish Igbos and Yorubas can remember this and sheath their swords.

TEYA:
Buhari is not without fault. There are many things he got wrong as a president, but he is by far better than the crook atiku. Baba is using trader moni and Npower to utterly destroy the sleep of pdp. Baba come back in 2019 and take us to the promised land, Nigerians are yearning for your leadership.

Sentiments aside, you can't say which woman is a better cook just by tasting the one cooked by one of them. Taste both. We have tasted President Buhari's food as both military head of state and now as executive President. Let us in turn taste the food cooked by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar as executive President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I don't want to hear "he was the best President Nigeria never had".

Ihateyoumod:
This govt has time replying these PDP miscreants, do what is right and forget bout what critics say, they r only trying to distract u from doing the right thing, but 10k is too small......30k would a made more sense, since u r targeting petty traders

Mr non miscreant, so going around to share money close to election time is 'doing the right thing'? What about improving the economy, beating down prices of essential commodities, building of infrastucture, job creation etc. Those are wrong things, aren't they? Rather, not getting people out of penury, only to give them handouts close to election is to you, the right thing. I thought the APC government claimed there is no longer going to be free money?

helinues:
Trader moni dey give Pdp sleepless night. Why Una no share our yams to the masses when you had the chance?

I get property before Na story..

You are so right. PDP get corruption before, now na APC get corruption, abi? So sharing of money to the masses to buy votes (bribery) is now acceptable because APC is involved, isn't it? I thought you people claim you voted PDP out because the party was corrupt. Now you turn around to support same openly. Is that not hypocrisy? It means subsequent governments should not fulfill their promises. When the elections are close by, the Vice President should simply go round and share money to buy votes.

haryorbarmie83:
Why pdp no share same for the masses to get them back in power, instead they share billion of dollars to there own people, never we experience pdp era again in Nigeria .

So it is proper for the APC government of 'integrity' that is supposedly fighting corruptioin to be equally sharing money to buy votes? Is bribery not a corrupt practice?

post=74315281:
He said the congress report noted that Jennifer Douglas Abubakar, a US citizen, who is the fourth wife of Atiku, from 2000 to 2008, helped her husband bring over $40m in suspect funds into the US including at least $1.7m in bribe payments from Siemens AG, a German corporation, and over $38m from little known offshore corporations.

Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has a sealed indictment waiting for him in the US. The day he visits the US, not as a candidate in an election, he will face charges.”


A self acclaimed multi-billionaire , after raping the country so bad!
Only criminals can support a rogue

Sir, don't you think that if the current government headed and populated by 'holy politicians' has been able to improve the economy, provide infrastructure, create jobs, defeat or curb Boko Haram, protect the lives of citizens, reached out to and fairly treated 'enemy regions', display impartiality in the fight against corruption, stopped trying to take Nigerians for granted by constantly blaming the past governments etc, there would be no need to split hairs over the visit or otherwise of a 'criminal' to the US. People would simply overwhelming vote for the incumbent 'saints' to continue based on their performance.

Kabongo1:
People are hungry and all we hear is Atiku cant go to America. Can the government prove he is corrupt pr was this his only case of corruption?

Keyamo should bring up tje electoral promises made in 2015 aand show us which of them, they have achieved.

Can you just imagine! In a country where a lot of people hardly feed, where a lot of graduates do not have good jobs, where people's lives are being wasted by Boko Haram and armed bandits, where educational standard is falling, where most roads are not in good motorable condition leading to avoidable accidents, where our doctors and other technocrats are running abroad, the only thing a serious minded government concentrates its campaign on is the visit of a political opponent to a foreign land! How is that supposed to solve our teething problems as a nation?

ItsMeAboki:
It is not about getting a visa to the USA but but being safe from prosecution; the US is not like Nigeria where government may interfere and stall or interfere with cases with relative ease; there they have strongly backed institutions and practice true separation of power; even the president, Donald Trump, cannot save him should the justice dept wish to prosecute him.

OK. Let's see what happens to Atiku as he visits the US. Let's stop drinking panadol for another man's headache. If the ruling party have made slight significant achievements, I don't think they would lose sleep over Atiku's visit or otherwise to the US. Thank you.

jlinkd78:
How APC thinks that we are all foolish people in this country amazes me. How Keyamo does a lame image laundering for this govt by open lying and distortion of narratives has become a source of concern to any sane mind. They built all their campaign manifesto on d shaky foundation of Atiku inability to secure a US visa and that blackmail is about being pulled off their very eyes and suddenly they want to change d goal post. Now Atiku is about visiting d US as they v all urged him and d new claim is cos he is standing election not even cos he is already a President of a country that ought to be enjoying immunity. Honestly, if Atiku goes to US as a candidate u can be sure truly d US is in support of a regime change and defeat of APC at d polls is just imminent.

This is why an election campaign should be positive - built on achievements in office, not negative - built on the assassination of an opponent's character.

doctokwus:
Watch these devils and criminals in the evil party change the goal post soon,now they are aware atiku is about getting the visa they built their campaigns on.
Next APC campaign stance would be:'if Atiku is not corrupt and claims he wasn't indicted for fraud in the US,he should pay a visit to Jefferson in prison'.

Lol

deomelo:

What's next, Dangote called you to let you know he was not contacted or that he's unhappy right?


Must you people lie and fabricate tales from the sky?


Dangote was listed as an adviser and he is still an adviser.


Deal with it or do the needful.

Sorry Sir that I 'lied and fabricated tales from the sky' according to you and your party the APC, the 'famous truthful party'. If Dangote has no problems with his name being listed as an 'adviser' on how the APC can win the 2019 presidential elections (since he has suddenly turned a partisan political strategist) and he is still a member, not by blackmail, but by choice, that is absolutely in order. He has the constitutional right to. What any other group thinks is immaterial. As such, there is no need for any 'clarification' from the presidency or the APC.. It is the presidency and the ruling APC that gave people the leeway to make insinuations about Dangote not being happy or subtly protesting his inclusion. The APC leadership are human and prone to mistakes like other mortals. But their major flaw is that they are always on the look out for who to blame for their failures and mistakes.

deomelllo:
[s][/s]




Only ignorant and unintelligent ipobs scream and yell fire where there's non.


Dangote remains an adviser to the APC campaign so try not to kill yourself.

If that is his wish, that is OK. Dangote has the constitutional right of freedom of association. Then the 'clarification' by the presidency is not necessary. It is the ruling APC that is to blame for causing unnecessary confusion and controversy over this matter. The problem with them is that when they make mistakes, as every mortal does, instead of owing up, they start looking for scapegoats.

deomelllo:
There's nothing fishy, they did not refute anything, they basically clarified and asked you, people, to go back and read the list they put out.

Many ignorant Nigerians thought he joined the APC and they clarified that he's not a member of the APC and cannot be because he's not a card carrying member, he's only on the list as an adviser.

They educated the ignorant people because many of them did not read or even know the difference between counsel and adviser.

The begging questions remain: What is wrong in Dangote being a card carrying member of the APC if that is his wish? Did he break any law? What if some people do not like it or are 'ignorant readers' so long as Dangote himself is OK with it? Does it matter? What is the need clarifying such if there is nothing fishy or amiss? How can one be an advertiser to a political party on how to win elections if he is not a member or let's use the word partisan. The point is that Dangote is not happy with the desperate measure of the ruling APC associating his name in their Campaign Council as an 'adviser' or whatever without his due consent. Thank you.

Uglyboy:
Was there a rebuttal?
The answer is No.
The presidency only made it clear to wailers who were already wailing that Fangote has join APC.

Dangote has not deny being a member ot the APC campaign team.

And what is wrong with Dangote joining the APC if that is his wish? Why should the presidency make it clear to 'wailers' if Dangote is ok with it? So somebody can be a member of a party's Campaign Team without being a member of the party? You can continue your twisting of facts. Nobody is a fool except those who pretend to be. This matter is not about the 'wailers'. It is about the ruling APC craftily including the name of Dangote in their Campaign Council without his consent. Thank you.

Uglyboy:
Have you confirm if Dangote was dropped as an adviser?

Must you believe all this hungry bloggers?
Go and do your research.

The presidency only said he is not a card carrying member of APC but that does not stop him from being an adviser and it will be foolish of you to think that they did not discuss with Dangote before making him an adviser

Sir, you are just playing around with words. Dangote has the right to become a card carrying member of any political party. He also has the right to have his name in the Campaign Council of any party. If he is merely a member of the Campaign Council and not a card carrying member of the APC as you want us to believe, what difference does that make? Why then the rebuttal if Dangote and the ruling party discussed it as you are implying? Who asked for it? Why did it become necessary? Something is definitely fishy?

deomelllo:
[s][/s]


Clueless can't read and comprehend ipob, what's my business with your silly, irrelevant and off-topic rubbish.

When you lash ipob with facts here, they will climb fence and run after irrelevant nonsense


lol @ APC taking their website offline because of some random village ipobs..


This ipob is overestimating his miserable importance... Stop smoking akpu abeg..

Ipob this, Ipob that. That is your resort when your propaganda is exposed. Sorry Sir. It is not easy being a propagandist to a desperate and deceitful party.

PassingShot:
What arrant nonsense is this report about?

I guess this is all about the Dubai Strategy that has been falling apart.

The clarification by Adesina was in order to educate ignorant and frustrated wailing idiots that Dangote and Otedola were never named as part of the Campaign Team but as Special Economic Advisers to the president.

Which of this is not clear to the frustrated Atikulooted brains and their media?

Your propaganda is stale Sir. It was purely an APC 2019 Election Campaign Council. The APC clearly goofed by including Dangote's name in a partisan council without his due consent. The fault is your party's, not that of any other group. Thank you.

deomelllo:
Dangoted was never dropped and was never even a member of any council, he was listed as an adviser.


These silly kabukabu blogsite sef..

Sir, you speak from both sides of the mouth. Why list Dangote's name 'as an adviser' on the list of a partisan Campaign Council? To advise the APC on how to win the 2019 Presidential elections, isn't it? Did Dangote consent to his being listed as an 'adviser' on how to win the Presidential election for the ruling party?

Omotaday:
They clarified his status not denying putting his name on the list, nor Dangote came out to deny. Read the topic well. Dangote along Otedola are just part of the advisory commitee, to give advices to the president.

Mr man, I think you are just trying to be be clever by half by dancing around, playing with words. The people reading and following this matter are not fools, except those who pretend to be. The point is that the APC made a big mistake including Dangote in their Campaign Council list which they are obliged to correct or face the consequences, otherwise there is no need for this clarification. For your information, there is a wall of difference between governance and political campaigns. Serving in an advisory council is for the sake of governance for the benefit of all Nigerians irrespective of political affiliation. That Dangote chooses to serve in that capacity (if at all it is true) does not mean he is automatically a partisan politician neither can he be drafted into the President's reelection Campaign Council without his consent. Thank you.

uboma:
You are on point.


It would have been more damaging to APC if Dangote had clarified matters himself.


APC is full of lies....

I believe Dangote threatened to address a press conference or clarify the matters himself, as you said, if the presidency or APC does not correct the wrong impression about him themselves and immediately for that matter. Hmmmmmmmmm!
