I will support direct primary for political parties than this so called delegates bullshit.

Political parties should go tech, let all valid members of parties vote online and choose candidates to represent them, let candidates use media and town halls to sell their ideas to parter members. Let all members of a Political parties have valid card that comes with a serial number. Let primaries be conducted state by state. This is what Americans that we copied our democracy from do.

This delegate thing we practise in Nigeria is a scam and fraud.

Do you know delegates for comon House of assembly election expect you to bribe them with close to 400k each to vote for you, depend on who you are running against.

I will personally be writing a petition to Efcc to send spy across political parties primary.

Vote buying is serious business during parties primary and that is where bad leadership and corruption starts from.

You expect a candidate to spend over 50million to bribe delegates and you expect the candidate not to get back his money when he gets into office? We are not serious yet in this.

You see corruption, is every where in this corrupt..

Voice Of The Masses.

I saw this man today controlling traffic.

Every President in the world pay rent..

When they same nnpc will employ shell to come do the job.... ?

He has always be there... He is not PDP spokesperson but a presidential campaign spokes person.

What do you call this?

Let's stop been stupid for heaven sake,this a movie called FACE OFF...

Bolaji Abdullahi has officially resigned his position as National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) as well as his membership of the party.

After Senate President Bukola Saraki dumped the ruling party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday, it was widely expected that Abdullahi, being his loyalist, would follow suit.

There were widespread reports on Tuesday that Abdullahi had done just that, but he vehemently denied it.

However, on Wednesday, he confirmed his exit from the ruling party, saying his “personal stake in the issue of Kwara makes it incongruous” for him to continue to sit as part of the working committee of the party.

Abdullahi complained that he has recently had to endure the “flagrant usurpation” of his role as the spokesman of the party in a manner that he considers “unbefitting of a ruling party and inconsistent with my ethical standards”.

He added that in a situation whereby his loyalty is constantly brought into question, his subordinates deployed to subvert his office, and his views constantly second-guessed on the basis of his political affiliation, it became imperative for him to review his position.

“Clearly, I cannot continue to function as the spokesman of a party whose expectations of that role is incompatible with my personal principles,” he said.

“In the same token, I can no longer justify to myself that I should remain in a party which has now made it clear to the world that the political group that I belong is no longer wanted, and which has hung my membership of that group as an albatross around my neck.”

THE FULL STATEMENT
PRESS STATEMENT BY THE NATIONAL PUBLICITY OF THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC), MALLAM BOLAJI ABDULLAHI
AUGUST 1ST, 2018.
In view of recent political developments in the country and within the All Progressives Congress (APC), I have decided to resign my position as the National Publicity Secretary as well as my membership of the party with effect from today.

In the last few days, I have had to endure the flagrant usurpation of my role as the spokesman of the party in a manner that I consider unbefitting of a ruling party and inconsistent with my ethical standards.

I have served the APC honestly and to the best of my ability and when I stood for and won my election at the last convention; it was a keen desire to continue to do so. However, in a situation whereby my loyalty is constantly brought into question; my subordinates deployed to subvert my office; and my views constantly second-guessed on the basis of my political affiliation, it has become imperative for me to review my position.

Since assuming office as the spokesman of the party, I have tried to set a new template for public political communications in a way that departs from the vulgar abuse and verbal aggression of the recent past, where cheap lies and crude propaganda were normalised as politics, and even celebrated as measures of competence. Unfortunately, those who felt I was not “forceful enough” framed my ethical disposition as evidence of a lack of commitment to the party.

The unlawful dissolution of the validly elected party executive in Kwara State earlier in the week was only another phase in the unrelenting assault I have had to endure. As a national officer of the party, who sits in that Committee, courtesy should demand that my views be sought on a matter that concerns my state and in which I am directly involved. That action was, to say the least, disrespectful.

Quite recently, we all took the oath to do justice to all and not allow personal interests to interfere with our official responsibilities. With this obviously presumptuous action, and the decision to appoint as chairman of caretaker committee, the same man who had emerged as the chairman from the parallel congress in my State, the NWC has taken sides, violated its oath office and subverted its own credibility as an impartial arbiter. Yet, these are the same people that have continued to insinuate that others are serving interests other than those of the party.

Politics is local, and my personal stake in the issue of Kwara makes it incongruous for me to continue to sit as part of the working committee of the party. Clearly, I cannot continue to function as the spokesman of a party whose expectations of that role is incompatible with my personal principles. In the same token, I can no longer justify to myself that I should remain in a party which has now made it clear to the world that the political group that I belong is no longer wanted, and which has hung my membership of that group as an albatross around my neck.

Saraki officially dumps APC

The duo of ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, and ex-Military President, Ibrahim Babangida, were conspicuously absent at the conferment of National Honours, on the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993, Presidential election, Chief MKO Abiola, and others.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, informed the gathering that the two ex-Presidents, both expressed regrets for their individual absence.

He added that Obasanjo traveled out of the country to Norway, for a more important Summit.

The whereabouts of Babangida could not be ascertained, as at the time of filing in this report.

The national assembly joint session( house of rep and Senate) has just pass a vote of no confidence on the IGP.

The both house of the national assembly put the blame on president buhari for not calling his appointees to order.

His political career is dead......

Imo State governor and chairman of the All Progressives Congress Governor’s Forum, Rochas Okorocha, has said his party has derailed and now practises “Peoples Democratic Party kind of politics.”

Mr Okorocha, stated this on Thursday in Abuja at the declaration of Adams Oshiomole, former governor of Edo State, to run for office of national chairman of the party.

Mr Okoracha, who was at the event to show his support for the governor and endorse his bid, said he believes in Mr Oshiomhole’s capacity to address some issues in the party.

“Another thing I think Oshiomole will address is that our party has begun to play the same kind of politics like PDP. All of a sudden we have started derailing and playing the PDP kind of politics. This started by some of those people who found themselves in political office especially appointment, who did not win their booths and wards.

He said Mr Oshiomhole should also address the weakness of the party in the South-South and South-East. He said he believed Mr Oshiomhole can help strengthen it in those parts of the country.

He called on the aspirant to ensure he roots out “urban masquerades” from the APC and also bring to an end the principle of “monkey dey work, baboon dey chop”.

“Today, our party is going through some challenges and I must commend those who helped fight for this party even before this time, they have done well but the fight ahead, the challenges ahead are greater and we need great men like Adams Oshiomohle to do this job. For me particularly, Adams will strengthen APC in South-south and South-east.

Emphasising why the party needed to be strengthened in those regions, Mr Okorocha noted he is the only governor in the South-east and the Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, the only governor in the South-South under the APC.

“Suffice to say that as I speak to you today, I am the only governor from the entire South-east who is APC just like my brother, Obaseki is the only governor from the South-South from the APC. What this goes to say is that APC has challenges in the South-South and South-East for reasons not too far-fetched. For some myopic considerations and assessment, this party is not strong in those parts of Nigeria.

“For those our governors in the north, they won the election so easy, for as long as the name Buhari stands in the north. But its not the same thing talking about President Muhammadu Buhari’s name in the South-South or South-West. So if you see any governor emerge in the South-South or South-East, it is not with an ordinary strength, and I believe that Oshiomole coming in will strengthen this party in that part.

“Adams, your first assignment when you become the national chairman of the party is to ensure and channel that principle of ‘monkey de work, bamboon de chop. Because some of these people who are seated here before you, won their booths, delivered their wards but those who didn’t win their booths or deliver their wards are holding big jobs in the Federal Government of Nigeria.

“In this new dispensation, no more monkey dey work, bamboo dey chop. If you work, you chop, you don’t work, you don’t chop.

“We have a lot of urban masqueraders in APC now and you, must force them out. And I know Adams Oshiomole is a no nonsense man, he will stand forthright, he will face them both in debate, action, physical, mental, moral, spiritual; he can face the opposition. But I don’t know about the spiritual aspect.”

No need,his term in office ends in few months as directed by president Buhari last night.

First gentleman..

Few months ago, I said governor wike had the worst and not proactive social media handles.

The comment led to a gab of words between me and the S.A to the governor on new media.

Today I can tell you the young man is up to the task and I can proudly tell you that I am so pleased with the level of work him and his team are doing.

Nice work guys,my criticism then was for the guy to wake up and I'm glad you are up.

Wike is not just the governor of Rivers but one of the shining light of the PDP which we will use as a reference point in next year's elections.

This government of okorocha can lie ooooh... Plz chief press sec can u explain this?

Unity oil off eliozu new road sold for 220,i was there myself,not them say..

The president landed in Enugu enroute Abakilika because Ebonyi has no airport,he went to Anambra for campaign and not state visit.

How come APC members are all over the place celebrating that the president visited the southeast zone.

Remind me again,didnt Mr president visit Edo during campaign last year? Was it called visit to the south south?

Seriously let's try and say things the way they are.

SOS

This is the recently built Concord tunnel. The tunnel some of us have complained serverally but were tagged "PDP members". The tunnel may collapse any time soon. The government should as a matter of urgency close down the tunnel for emergency repairs. Quality construction is all we ask for.

What you get when President Buhari appoint's his 72years old friend as DG of NTA .Former President Obama now Chris Ngige...OK oooooh

Indeed Imo is finished under this man, may God help my people.

Uba just ended his political career... what a pity... igbo people...

When some of us shouted it here that Nnamdi Kanu is endangering the life of Ndi igbo in other part of Nigeria with this whole madness of break up,some people here that hardly know the cost of block or cement,went about insulting us.A good leader is that leader that listens to the rhythm of issues and know when to change course.

It is a clear fact that the so called restructuring the whole Nigeria is shouting for today,came from the agitation of IPOB.Mr kanu would have capitalised on that to drive home some of his demands and also use the IPOB platform to cause a change within the political landscape of the igbo nation.

But hey,the young man completely lost it in the alter of pride and arrogance. As it is today ipob is illegal in all the southeast state...No more procession or rally.

Don't mistake what southeast governors did yesterday for security and peace sake. Never.

They did that for 2019 election,IPOB was becoming a nightmare to some of them who felt their chances of coming back will depend on Nnamdi Kanu support.Already we can see what is playing out in Anambra.

Nnamdi Kanu as it is today may find it difficult to make any impart in the southeast,he may even be killed if he steps into igbo land to make noise

That is what happened to a man that put pride before his course.

Today,numbers of youth have lost their lives over this course.The so called supreme leader could not stay and fight instead he ran away like a chicken.

My dear Ndi Igbo,particularly the youths,don't let anybody deceive you,there is no part of Nigeria that is not marginalised,so don't let anyone deceive you that the north is our problem.

Nigeria's problem is bad leadership.

A house of assembly member in Imo state has come under fire from the youth of imo state after he gave out a motorbike to a youth of the state as empowerment.

Some youth who took to social media to insult the honorable member has this to say

"With respect Chinagorom Christopher Chinagorom Christopher you have just disgraced and brought to nothing Imo Youths. After a hard work of 6years for the deceitful government of APC in Imo State, all you could stoop too low before press men to receive is an Okada. What an insult to a graduate. If you need to be empowered, why not a sponsorship to do a master's degree program in choice university? When will our graduate youths start telling these criminal politicians that they worth more than Okada as empowerment"

Could it be that governor wike is the New whistle blower?

Nawa ooh some pipo can not just lose election without bad belle...the same etcha with police and army all over?OP recieve sense ijn....

I must commend vice president Osinbajo on the way he has went about the issues of governance with human FACE.The professor is approachable than his boss and I could say acceptable than Buhari..Take a look at his responds to the protestants of last week ,u will agree with me his a fine gentle man.

Maybe president Buhari should step aside for the vp,what do you think?
