This man is very courageous and fiery. I think Edo people are behind him that's why... Just like when Ortom was fighting against Godfatherism in Benue state. Ambode couldn't do jack because people were against him unlike Obaseki. God willing, he will surely succeed.

Cherrybae:
PDP is afraida of facing APC in the polls. See the wailers and stupid ipobs masturbating on the thread.

The court already made it clear in a ruling of a gov candidate in Kogi that a deputy been disqualified has no effect on the gov candidate who was fully elected.

Appeal has been filed and all will maintain status quo.

APC will won both Bayelsa and Kogi state.

It's a done deal. Ipobs shame unto tehee

Sorry, you have a very poor English command and your diction is highly lacklustre. Please try and work on it before you continue to disgrace your family in the public forum, since you don't have shame. #spits#

Can you Imagine, Bello's ADC??
They are out to rig out PDP by all means

Prompto:
Igbo people sha wan push this man inside well.

See this one?? Must you people here tribalize everything on this platform
What has Igbo got to do with Edo State Always spewing trash and nonsense every time you open your gutter mouth. Mtchewwwww

I knew that he would be pushed out of APC immediately Pastor crossed over to APC. Pastor was cajoled to jump ship and to be given ticket, so as to push out Obaseki. But I see Obaseki finishing APC before he finally jumps ship as expected.

But on the other hand, I thought the Party supposed to screen their candidates who obtained the nomination forms to stand for an election. And to even think that the person even won a national assembly election. APC is party of rogues and criminals

Can you imagine, 5 different names
If APC knows what's good for them, they should mount pressure on that bastard to resign immediately, just after getting the so called injunction. Because this case is as good as a lost one. No court can absolve these irregularities. Nawa oooo

garfield1:
Not when they are sworn in

This guy I can see you are always emotional in handling political discourse. There are several instances sworn Governors have been sacked in our political history, but you have decided to turn blind eyes on them.

sarrki:
Apc is not joking in Kogi

The truth is Pdp are just online campaigning

Don't worry, you will cry after election

And to think that it was Femi gbajabiamila that uploaded the pix is a lot to say how dimwitted they are. Or can we say that they all the posses the ability to memorize everything that would be discussed extemporaneously
Or better said, they are there for the sake of paparazzi and jamboree

fergie001:
Ok......I just assumed cos of his perceived Federal might.

So where are you @ in KG?

Omo, this your illustration is wicked....

The fate of Yahaya bello was concluded the day he decided to go tribal. Now, the card that would play a role in this election has shifted from nonperformance to tribal superemacy. Yahaha bello is directly fighting against 55% population composition of the state (Igala) and indirectly against 25% population composition of the state (Okun). How can a paltry 4Lg that make up the Ebira will be able to defeat Igala with 9 LG and Okun with 5LG and equally bassa with 1 LG. Lokoja LG is the PDP strong zone which the non indigenes, Okun and a handful of Bassa people populated. So technically Bello is fighting with 4LG against 17 LG. And that 4 LG he has, with Natasha who's very strong and also an Ebira will divide his votes substantially. Now You can see that with even his rigging machinery, his defeat is very so glaring. Now the card that is playing now in Kogi is tribal superemacy. Igala people are saying, let Ebira vote for their son and let us vote for our son.

fergie001:
I will be surprised if he doesn't t win....

Oga, I'm on ground with happenings. I can say categorically that it will be easier for a chimpanzee to dine and wine with queen Elizabeth at the burkinham palace than for yahaya bello to return to the Luggard's house.

If you like, declare total freedom for the Kogites, Bello is already a goner

To the Lawyers/political analysts in this forum, what's the implication of this judgement??

The Intrigues, the Betrayals and Back-bitting: How the Kogi Governorship Election will be Lost and Won.

By Ebere Levi

A transition, from Bello to Wada, may be afoot in Kogi state, an impeccable source who is privy to the on-going muted political realignment in the state has told The Source.

The people of the state will vote on Saturday, November 16 to either re- elect the incumbent, Yahaya Bello of the All Progressives Congress, APC, or elect his main challenger and younger brother of Captain Idris Wada, the immediate past governor, Engineer Musa Wada of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP .However, a shocker, it has been learnt awaits the incumbent.

APC “Judases” Versus Bello
Though prominent APC stalwarts in the state have been visible at Bello’s campaign rallies to drum support for him, this magazine has been informed they are, actually, selling the governor a dummy as they are allegedly not with him body and soul.

Rather, several prominent party chieftains, especially from the Igala axis where the PDP candidate hails from, are said to be secretly rooting him.

According to multiple party sources, aside APC bigwigs, non partisan prominent citizens and most elderstatesmen in the state are not also enthusiastic about Bello’s reelection.

“Forget the raztamatazz at Bello’s rallies and physical presence of these party chiefs at the rallies, all is not well within the Kogi APC.

Those who pull the strings and levers of power in Kogi APC and Kogi politics generally, have, since, even before the primaries, resolved that Bello does not have the experience and temperament to govern Kogi and must, therefore, not be returned” , one of the sources informs.

Musa Wada
Musa Wada: Another Wada in the Government House?
“I can assure you that Governor Bello will be facing a grand sabotage from the within, from his own party on the election day.Virtually all party leaders, who are currently mouthing support for him, will bare their fangs at the eleventh hour.

For them, it’s anyone but Bello. And of course you can tell who the main beneficiary of such internal insurrection in APC on election day is”, one of the sources said.

The Source gathered that in Igala land, the largest ethnic group in the state, across party line, Wada’s candidacy is seen as a pan- Igala project hence APC chieftains there are silently working for their kinsman.

“Bello’s impeached Deputy, Simeon Achuba and his sucessor, Edward Onoja are both Igala but this pales into nothingness. It will not translate into meaningful votes for Bello. Infact, Achuba is now openly working for Wada”, the magazine was further informed

According to an APC stalwart in Okene who pleaded not to be named for the fear of victimization , “The Igala nation has decided to take power back and restore hegemony over the other two minority ethnic groups in the state- Okun Yoruba and Ebiraland. Irrespective of party affiliations, Igala sons and daughters see Wada’s ambition as a task that must be achieved”

How Beautiful is Okun as a Bride?
For both Wada and Bello, Kogi West Senatorial district also known as Okunland and hugely populated by the Yoruba or Okun Yoruba as they are also called, is the beautiful bride in the coming election, and hold the ace.

Okunland, the home senatorial district of Senator Dino Melaye, Senator Smart Adeyemi, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Kola Ologbodiyan, James Faleke, a sitting House of Reps member, and running mate to the late former governor of the state in the November 2015 gubernatorial election, Audu Abubakar, and a host of other prominent politicians, is therefore, being fiercely courted by the two main candidate.

Dino Melaye
Dino Melaye: Will he bounce back to the Senate
Some political analysts say the current political configuration in Kogi favours Okun land as the decider of next week’s election.

Okunland is yet to produce governor since the creation of Kogi.The nearest it got to occupying the exalted position was former Speaker of Kogi state House of Assembly, Olufemi Clerence’s brief stint as Acting Governor.

The dilemma facing the people, as far as gubernatorial election is concerned, is whether to believe Bello’s mantra of the next governor after him being an Okun Yoruba, or support Wada who has an Okun son, Engineer Samuel Bamidele Aro as a running mate.

The likes of Senator Adeyemi and Faleke allegedly with governorship ambitions are said to have anchored their support for Bello on his promise to facilitate the emergence of an Okun son as governor at the end of his second term in 2023.

This Magazine was told that had Audu Abubakar, an Igala son, not died on the cusp of victory in 2015, he would have done one term-owing to constitutional limitations having been governor between 1992 and 1993 and 1999 and 2003- and facilitated the emergence of Faleke as his successor.

Smart Adeyemi: Another shot at the Senate
Audu’s unexpected death just hours before the result of the November 2015 election was announced paved the way for Bello to become governor. Having come a distant second behind Audu in the primary election, the APC controversially picked him to replace the former governor ahead Falake who was on the ticket as Audu’s running mate. Bello was to inherit Audu’s votes and squared up against Captain Wada and beat him in the ensuing supplementary election.

Informed sources told this Magazine that a majority of the Okun political class, traditional rulers and intelligentsia do not buy the argument that the route to a Kogi governor of Okun extraction is shorter, via Governor Bello than it is via Musa Wada.

They insist that political, ethno-religious and population configuration of the state as regards permutations for an Okun governor in the near future favours an alliance with the Igala, the most populous and homogeneous ethnic group.

“Our best bet is an alliance with our Igala brothers an sisters.They have the population and will also deploy it for the purpose of determining who becomes governor or which zone produces the governor. Musa Wada is running with our son, Aro, it is politically wise to line up with them and politically suicidal not to do so”, a very prominent Okun politician told The Source.

An Ex APC chieftain from the area who said he does not belong to any party says Okun has a rock solid prospect of getting the governorship seat through Wada.

His words: “Aro is a bird at hand. We can not hope and wait for the uncertain why the certain is with us. After eight years of Wada, Okun and Igala will cooperate to produce an Okun governor.

I can tell you that Bello has no capacity to facilitate the emergence of an Okun governor. Ebiraland does not have the numbers, the population, to swing it.

I can also tell you that in the event of Bello’s victory, his attempt at installing a Christian Okun governor at the end of his tenure in 2023 will be frustrated by a highwire ethno-religious gang up by his own Ebira kinsmen and the Igala who share common religious identity- Islam. If that happens, the likely unfortunate scenario will be the emergence of an Igala governor with an Ebira deputy- both Moslems”.

Between Aro and Onoja:
Keen followers of Kogi politics are of the view that following the controversial impeachment of Achuba, governor Bello would have pulled a masterstroke on the PDP and Wada by picking an Okun as replacement.

Had he done this, he would have pre-empted Wada/ PDP choice of running mate from the area.

According to observers, if Bello had picked Achuba’s replacement from Okunland, his sing song of an Okun Yoruba replacing him in 2023 would have sank and sat well with the people because with their son on the ticket, the prospect of an Okun governor will look real and nearer.

They contend that picking an Igala, Edward Onoja, as Achuba’s replacement, and then running mate, is a fatal political calculation on governor Bello’s side. First, Onoja, they predict, will not attract meaningful votes in Igala nation; many having openly said what they wanted is number one (governor) and not number two(Deputy).

Secondly, they said it is quite unlikely that the Igala will sacrifice Wada to please Onoja and by extension, Bello.

So, while Aroh will be working to deliver Okun to the PDP, Onoja will be at pains explaining to his kins why they deserve second fiddle(himself) instead of the first fiddle(Wada).

Kogi as a Theatre of War:
Though the two main parties, PDP and APC, have asked their members to be calm and law abiding during the election, this magazine has learnt that political thugs from both parties are waiting in the wings to perpetuate large scale rigging and violence.

It was also gathered that non of the parties is prepared to be out-spent on the election day as various vote buying innovations will be allegedly employed to entice and sway voters.

The Lastline: Melaye Versus Adeyemi
In Kogi West, two battles will rage on two frontlines:Bello Versus Wada and Melaye versus Adeyemi.The Court of Appeal recently annulled Senator Melaye’s election and ordered a re-run with Senator Adeyemi who previously represented the senatorial district in the Senate.

The rerun will be taking place simultaneously with the governorship election.

With Bello’s vow to ensure Melaye is defeated, pundits say Okunland will be a hotbed of fierce and intriguing contest on November 16. Bello and Adeyemi, according to a political analyst, will come with federal might “but mark my words, Melaye will stop them, he will defeat them. He will prevail because he is close to the people”

BREAKING: Appeal Court declares Akpabio winner of senatorial election.
Godswill Akpabio has been declared winner of the senatorial election for Akwa Ibom North West District.

The former governor was first elected senator from the district in 2015 when he concluded his two terms as governor.

He was appointed into President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet in July, serving currently as the Niger-Delta minister.

Chris Ekpenyong of the Peoples Democratic Party was initially declared winner of the election by INEC, but Mr Akpabio challenged the decision at the election’s tribunal.

He lost at the tribunal and challenged the decision at the Court of Appeal, which declared him the winner today, effectively ending the long and tenuous battle for the senatorial seat.

Vatsyayana:
He will still have to share the LG with Natasha Akpoti who also has a stronghold in Kogi Central.

Exactly..... Lol..even rigging will not save APC this time. They should better concentrate in Bayelsa because Kogi is already in the bag. He finally nailed APC in the coffin immediately he went tribal. Now it's Igala plus Okun against Ebira. He's gone already as far as I'm concern

DonFreshmoney:
Arrant political nonsense..

Bello, is that your 4 years development story in Kogi? What have you done to better the lives of kogites?? What new roads have you commissioned, not that night audio flagging off??

Do you deserve second term? Lazy and corrupt youth Governor

Don't mind him, let's see how a paltry 4 LG would be able to defeat 9 LG from Igala excluding 5 LG from Okun side ....which I know with Dino he will never get a single LG from Okun. Ogorimagongo and bassa will never vote him. Lokoja LG which comprises majorly non- indigenes hate him with passion. So technically its 4LG against 17 LG

Lol....Bello and APC have resorted to propaganda as usually. Clearly, he has seen the handwriting on the wall. Funny people, I thought only Ebira votes would send him back to Luggard's house
Hahahahahahhah....APC will never know what hit them after 16th. Useless people

Seems this LYON of a club looks like actually a team to beat. They are actually making waves in this Champions league. A 3-1 demolition of Benefica to them is evident to substantiate their footballing prowess. I wish him luck against Leipzig in their next fixture hoping that they will top the chart and eventually scale through to win the coveted title.

In the history of America there are no president who is as bold as Trump who never conceal his intentions for political gain.
They are playing with fire, his coming as a president was divine, except God has decided otherwise, wait and see what will happen

Iffa hear say dem impeach trump.

Surely, it would eventually amount to effort in futility

US Congress Formalizes Impeachment Proceedings Against Trump.

The votes went across party lines, with all 194 Republicans and two Democrats voting against the process in a ballot which ended 232 to 196 in favour of the formalization of the impeachment process.

The lower chamber of the United States of America’s legislative body on Thursday voted to move inquiries into the impeachment of President Donald Trump from closed hearings to a public phase.

Speaker of the American House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said the votes will lawmakers decide whether Trump should be impeached based on the truth.

"I don't know why the Republicans are afraid of the truth," she said.

The BBC reports that Republican house leader Kevin McCarthy, said the Democrats are trying to get Trump out of office "because they are scared they cannot defeat him at the ballot box in next year's presidential election".

Trump reacted to the proceedings at the democrat-controlled chamber, on Twitter, describing it as the greatest "witch hunt in American history".

The ‘witch-hunt’ resolution approved by Congress will in the first stage, see the house intelligence committee, publicly grille witnesses.

At the conclusion of this phase, the intelligence panel will forward its report to the judicial committee.

Trump’s lawyers will be allowed to make arguments on considerations made by the judicial body in the lower chamber.

If satisfied that Trump is worth impeaching based on the evidence before them, the committee would send articles of impeachment to the Senate.

At this stage, Trump will be on trial at the upper chamber which is dominated by his party members.

It is for this reason that some experts believe the move by the lower house of mainly democrats are making a futile move.

The last time the US legislature embarked on an impeachment proceeding was in 1998 and the subject was Bill Clinton.
