My friend, why must you pursue your objective until you fall off the cliff? Despite Barcanista political leaning, which we all know, his comment was fair and square. But then the successful candidates are enfranchised to pursue their interests as they wish lawfully. Or should they be ensconced in 'Siberia' because of their filial background?

Dude I know why I quoted him, if na pdp he will will gang up with his fellow janjanweeds to make noise...what will they be called?? ain't it hypocrites?? Some people lost their lives and all he can see are those that won, that means he don't care who dies so long ashis party wins in 2015 which is so so impossible

Nigeria will be receiving a new supply of arms and weapons
from no less than Russia, the United States' archenemy.
According to portal channelstv.com , citing a report by
global political risk consulting firm DaMina Advisors,
Russia was more than eager to supply the Nigeria n army
weapons and helicopter gunships so as to fight and defeat
the Boko Haram insurgents. The report noted, however, it
was the country's scheme to amp its influence over other
major oil producers as well as a means to scout new
markets for its sanctioned local arms.
But Daniel Wagner, CEO of Country Risk Solutions, said that
Russia agreed to the sale meant more than just the usual
desire to help extinguish extremist movements from a
certain country. Rather, it was more of the need in "finding
alternative ways to bypass the conventional arms trade."
Russian President Vladimir Putin, often described as this
generation's global bad boy, could benefit from the arms
sale as this will somehow counter that image.
Russia's economic prowess is currently on a downhill
because of the sanctions it received, triggered by the
Ukraine crisis. Wagner said it is without doubt that Mr Putin
believes the arms exports will translate to much needed
incomes for his country. The agreement with Nigeria calls
for the sale of helicopter gunships and other significant
equipment. Russia had even suggested extending a loan to
Nigeria just so the weapons deal will start rolling. Mr Putin
believed Russia will greatly benefit from the sales not just
from Nigeria but from surrounding countries as well.
Based on data from the Stockholm International Peace
Research Institute, in 2013, Russia was the world's number
three arms exporter, next to the United States and China.
The U.S. accounted for over 36 percent of global arms
exports, China with 11 percent, and Russia, at 5 percent.
Apart from a change of suppliers, Nigeria has also closed a
training programme provided by the US government's
military for the Nigerian Army. It came a month after its
request for Cobra attack helicopters got rejected by
Washington.
"Like it or not, the Kremlin is having success in expanding
its military and commercial footprint in areas where the
U.S. and the West appear to be having declining influence."
Wagner wrote in HuffPost . He added the Nigeria arms sale
won't be the first. "On the grand chess board of global
geopolitics, Russia is scoring some real points."

@omojuwa is a cyber fraudster an apc supporter that will just be a mole....say no to #jimiagbaje

The leader of South South Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos, Sunday Ekanem, has warned the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) against the impeachment of Preasident Goodluck Jonathan.

Ekanem said there would be crisis in the polity if the plan orchestrated by the opposition party to impeach the President succeeds.

Ekanem who spoke to Daily Independent at the state Secretariat of Lagos PDP said the entire Niger-Delta areas would be a no go area for APC in 2015 general elections.



Ekanem who is also a member of PDP caucus group in Lagos State stated that it was wrong to link President Jonathan with the ongoing crisis in the National Assembly and use that as a crime that would warrant his impeachment.

“The police in Nigeria are an institution and when they discovered that there was a threat to public peace, they subjected every member of the National Assembly to scrutiny on that day not knowing that the Speaker came with his thugs that day to cause mayhem,” he stated.

He said President Jonathan was the most abused president in the country despite his decision not to interfere with some key institutions in the country like Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Army, Police and others.

Ekanem further advised the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, to do the necessary thing and resign his position as the Speaker of the House.

“In America where democracy works, opposition party cannot lead the House. Therefore, it is incumbent on the Speaker since he has joined the opposition party which remains a minority in the House to quit the position as Speaker,” he stated.

He stated further that until the country is able to draw a line between politics and law, the country would continue to have problems.

barcanista:

Yes he relinquish his position by means of defection

barcanista:
When you wan get sense?

barcanista:
Since he can't keep up with the responsibilities of his job, he should at least do the honorable thing by tendering his resignation letter to the National Assembly, at least to keep a part of honor to himself

Did tambuwal do that?

omenka:
Yes he is. Hungry for a seismic shift in the status quo just like majority of Nigerians!!

Can't wait to see this man disgraced in 2015.

AS 22 STATES MAY DECIDE THE OUTCOME OF CONVENTION

  Convention venue still uncertain
Olawale Olaleye
 
Despite the fact that the outcome of the national convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) slated to hold December 10 rests solely with the 22 swing states not controlled by the APC, the leadership of the opposition party is still rooting for a former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, as its presidential candidate as its joker for the 2015 elections.

Unfortunately for those pushing for the Buhari candidacy, it only appears a sure bet in the event of a consensus arrangement as former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar is likely to spring a huge surprise if a primary election is held, THISDAY has further learnt.

Also, after a lot of debate on the choice of venue for the convention, the convention committee is yet uncertain of where the convention will hold. Initial position had favoured Benin City, the Edo State capital, but subsequent arguments on the ground of not being central enough has caused the committee to have another rethink. As at last night, the committee has not settled for any venue.

Interestingly, the presidential primary of the APC is increasingly looking like a battle between Buhari and Atiku even though there are two other interested aspirants: the Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and the publisher, Leadership Newspapers, Sam Ndah-Isaiah.

Whilst it is believed that the 14 states controlled by APC governors may have clearly aligned depending on the disposition of the governors in those states, the 22 other non-APC states are simply up for grabs, depending on how swiftly each of the aspirants is able to move and secure the support of the state delegates.

The states in question include Abia, Anambra, Enugu, Ebonyi, Delta, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Ondo, Ekiti, Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba, Adamawa, Katsina, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kebbi, Kogi, Niger, Plateau and Benue.

The reason for this is not far-fetched. The 22 states which obviously will determine the outcome of the national convention of the APC have no clear leadership and structures for easy coordination, meaning that they could swing either way depending on who poaches the hardest. But particularly instructive is the fact that they would ultimately determine the presidential standard-bearer of the APC.

Although for the purposes of the election, the leadership of the APC is said to have assigned and shared the 22 states amongst its 14 governors for easy “zonal coordination and mobilisation”, it is also expected that how well the governors handle the delegates in these states will determine where they swing at the convention.

The snag however in this method is that the “supervising governors” in the various zones may have their influence whittled down because they will not have the capacity to enforce any order, or punish any member (in any state they are supervising) that chooses to differ from group position.

But regardless of this reality, the APC leadership, which had previously failed to push through a consensus arrangement, is said to be rooting for Buhari as its candidate, consensus being the only way a majority of those who make up the leadership believe guarantees his candidacy.

Unfortunately, Atiku and those loyal to him have stridently opposed the idea, insisting on a primary as part of the thrust of the APC at formation. It is believed that Atiku is banking on his power of mobilisation and delegates’ poaching by insisting on primary.

Buhari is hitherto believed to have been laid back and said to have initially carried on as if the APC ticket was just his for the asking, until the past week when he literally swung into action, meeting and canvassing for delegates' votes across the country.
This, many believed, may enhance his visibility and chances at the convention, coupled with the support of the party leadership he seems to have already secured.

On his part, Atiku is said to stand out as one aspirant who knows the nuances and cadences of the game and much of this experience is manifest in how he has deployed his political arsenal: giving his time and resources to the venture of convincing delegates on why he is the best man for the job. Atiku is said to have spent the last one month meeting with delegates across the federation and had reportedly visited no less than 27 states in all.

There is therefore the belief that Atiku comes to the race prepared and with a lot of experience; unfortunately, he does not seem to have the support of the APC leadership and a majority of the governors.

However, expected at the national convention are about 10,000 delegates from across the country to converge on the venue initially mooted between Lagos and Edo States, a source has said.

While the Edo venue was initially knocked off on the grounds of capacity to suck in such a crowd, the committee members were also said to have turned down the option of Lagos for reasons of feared interference and distance as a majority of members are said to have frowned on the distance, especially for those coming from the far north.

It was against this backdrop that the committee allegedly resolved to hold the convention in Abuja as the alternative. But for reasons of political symbolism, the committee members, THISDAY learnt, reverted to Edo, being the home zone of the president and discarding outright, the factor of capacity to accommodate the crowd.

Given that over 10,000 delegates are billed to converge on the national convention, the modalities for choosing delegates from each state, THISDAY gathered, are dependent on the number of wards and local governments that each state has.

The source noted that since the states are bigger than one another in terms of population as well as local government areas, there was no way the number of delegates could be made equal but clearly on the number of wards and councils that each has in effect.

Perhaps, the reality of the extent to which the situation is still fluid is what many believe is responsible for why the aspirants are making some last minute push for delegates’ votes, realising that the game, as it were, is still anyone's until a winner emerges.
