I don't blame Saraki, my blame goes to the President for allowing him to emerge as the Senate President.
He has given one Primate Ayodele money to campaign for him to contest for President. We are waiting for him.

Can somebody please advise this useless woman to stop disgracing herself? Better go and look for productive business and stop all these unnecessary drama

This is a welcome development. People like Femi Fani Kayode & Reno should be ashamed of themselves now

A big thank you to the Vice President President. He has virtually done well in all the assignment before him

He did not just complete the 12 stations, but, he also bought more coaches and locomotive engine. I think, the present leadership have indeed made us proud and deserves our support for re-election

Very well, Nigerians have spoken. Like I said earlier, PDP remain rejected, we will never allow them again, never.

One of the reasons I hate FFK, is his garrulousness, just like his second mad man Reno Omokri accused him as a fake man who survive on falsehood

I don't know why some people will be making unguided statements here, we have said time without number that the president has done well, and obviously those against him are the beneficiaries of the corrupt past

This is another bad news for the corrupt guys and their cronies. Baba welcome to Lagos, Baba ekabooo

If not illiteracy, what will make any take Fani Kayode and those people he referred to serious? Well, we chosen Buhari for 2019.

Continue killing yourself because you don't Buhari, we will vote for again in 2019

kernel505:
You lack sympathy for lives of Nigerians.

May your family be among the next Benue kalamity, rather may you loze your source of livelihood as many others have lost theirs since Buhari came into power.

In recent times, the known sponsored blackmailers like Femi Fani Kayode, Reno Omokri, Abimbola Adelakun, Akin Osuntokun and Ayo Adebanjo seems to have gotten another contract from their corrupt cronies who are not happy with the ongoing anti-corruption crusade, to continually malign the personality of the Vice President.

These evil incarnates from my careful observation so far have chosen religion and ethnicity as their instruments with concocted falsehood against our own amiable Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo. An attempt that has always exposed their evil agenda to the populace.
As a young man who is passionately interested in the growth, progress and development of this country, I have taken it upon myself to be a guide to some few people who may not know the antecedents of Fani Kayode and other agents of doom mentioned above whose life depends largely on falsehood.

Fani Kayode's garrulousness, falsehood fabrications and even his negative life style does not come as a surprise to the Yoruba nation, because, it is hereditary, his father's betrayal of late Obafemi Awolowo was a testimony to that.

There is a Yoruba proverb that says "if the king sends you on an errand, use your sense". It is obvious Fani is not guided by his normal sense. No matter how much Fani Kayode might have gotten from his sponsors, he should have known that the integrity of Professor Yemi Osinbajo is of God and can never be dented by any devil incarnate. He should have known from his confrontation with his partner in crime, Reno Omokri that what God told us in Psalm 105:15 played out and that is just the beginning.

After reading through Fani Kayode's latest malevolent and disrespectful comments on an online Newspaper, Daily Posts about a girl yet to be released by Boko Haram on the account that he did not denounce his religion.

Can someone remind Femi Fani Kayode that Boko Haram was the legacy of his party? Or is it that Fani Kayode has forgotten that the funds meant for arms to fight Boko Haram which is popularly known today as Dasukigate was corruptly shared by the government he was part of, which later strengthen the insurgents? Or was Fani Kayode not aware that more than 80% of the kidnapped Chibock girls under their watch were Christians? Or is it that the quest for financial gain has affected his thinking faculty to the extent that he could not remember that the same Osibanjo he is putting all energy to malign is in the government that have rescued many Chibock Christian girls?
With all the above questions begging for answers, would it not be right for me to say the excess of intake of white powder may have been responsible for Fani Kayode's hypocrisy?

On the Dapchi girl to be released, the President indeed expressed serious concern over her ordeal.
In the State House Press release, President Buhari said Leah Sharibu will not be abandoned he is as committed to d freedom of the only Dapchi schoolgirl still in captivity as he was to the girls' freedom when all 110 were in the captivity of Boko Haram terrorist.

He said his administration will not relent in efforts to bring Leah Sharibu safely back home to her parents as it has done for the other girls after she was held back by the terrorists over her decision, as reported, not to convert from Christianity to Islam.

The President said he is fully conscious of his duty under the constitution to protect all Nigerians, irrespective of faith, ethnic background or geopolitical location and will not shirk in this responsibility.

The President also made it clear that he is equally mindful of the fact that true followers of Islam all over the world respect the injunction that there is no compulsion in religion.
To this effect, no one nor group can impose its religion on another.

He said his heart goes out to the isolated parents who must watch others rejoice while their own daughter is still away.

The lone Dapchi girl, Leah, will not be abandoned.

Furthermore, those sponsoring Fani Kayode should know that the well meaning Nigerians are fully with the Vice President and by extension the President. Never again will the Yoruba allow him to replicate what his father did to Awolowo.

Finally, Fani kayode should be ashamed of himself and stop making public comments as history does not speak well of his lineage. Maybe he expected Professor Yemi Osinbajo to have betrayed President Buhari during his medical vacation in UK, the way his father betrayed Awolowo.

God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.


Yahaya Wada

The race for 2019 general election has commenced with maximum alacrity. To some politicians, it is a matter of life and death. Why others sees it as a normal perennial political activities that will come and go.

It is no longer news that the timetable for 2019 general election was released late this year by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). With the release, the level of politicking has taken a new face; with those who mean well for the country supporting Buhari/Osinbajo for re-election, and some other with selfish desires, affected by the anticurruption crusade of the present government looking for alternative, doing whatever that is humanly possible to unseat President Muhammadu Buhari and Prof Yemi Osinbajo.

In their quest to pursue this evil orchestration against the Buhari led government, they have identified some of their cronies who are very good in fabricating falsehood, using their expertise to deceive and mislead Nigerians as they have done in the past. But, guess what, Nigerians have gone pass that.
The major areas identified by these evil incarnates in their myopic sense to mislead people are to:
1. Fabricating falsehood using religion sentiment against the present leadership
2. Concocting unfounded allegations using ethnicity against the leadership.
3. Misrepresenting facts in order to score cheap political point.
At the moment, the known individuals put forward to do these aforementioned dirty jobs for them are: Femi Fani Kayode, Dr. Zunaid Mohammed, Reno Omokri, Ayo Adebanjo, Akin Osuntokun, etc. It was not clear whether if Odumakin accepted a role. At the point of writing this article, it was reported that the advocators of this evil strategy are said to be looking for more persons especially from the North Central zones who will use and misrepresent the herdsmen farmers conflict.
It was also reported that their effort to co-opt a particular known voice from the South East did not yield results as the person in question told them that the ongoing construction of 2nd Niger bridge has made him to be indifferent, that even the Jonathan he supported never did anything for the eastern region.
Furthermore, the quest to get the names of other recruits is on. I will definitely keep the public posted as soon as that is uncovered.

In view of the above, it is incumbent on all of us to inform Nigerians about the plans of corrupt elements and their cronies to portray the present government in the bad light even when the evidences at our disposal is proofing otherwise.
There is a proverb that said: "a fool at 40 is a fool forever. Within the 8 years of Obasanjo, over 16 billion naira was channeled to power sector, it ended in the personal pockets with the power at 4000mgwt, yet you expect Nigerians to reject Buhari/Osinbajo that increased the generation to 7000mgwt without spending much. What do you take us for? Before PDP took over the mantle of leadership in 1999, textile factories and railways were very efficient and effective, before God's intervention in Nigeria's affairs in 2015, the textiles and the train were dead. And you expect Nigerians to reject Buhari/Osinbajo who within 3 years despite the meagre revenue at their disposal have revived and provided enough coaches for train to work again and have contracted so many rail line to connect Nigeria cities. What do you actually think Nigerians are?
For 16 years, despite the massive revenue that came your way, you never make an attempt to construct Second Niger bridge, but, you expect Nigerians to reject Buhari/Osinbajo that has commenced the construction. What do you take us for?

Let me reiterate here that no amount of campaign calumny against the present leadership can fly. No doubt, we are not yet where we ought to be, but, with the resources available, the present leadership deserves commendation.

Finally, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari and his ever reliable Vice, Professor Yemi Osinbajo should be ready for more frivolous accusations and unfounded allegations from the individuals mentioned above and should not be perturbed or distracted, because, Nigerians aware of their antics.

God bless Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Wada Yahaya

That is a fact, they corrupt elements and their cronies are responsible for the so called fulani herdsmen killing in order to distract Buhari, but, it did not work for them

Taking into cognisant the unforgettable pains and trauma displayed & are still displaying by the cronies of GEJ after d massive defeat in 2015 2 PMB, it vindicates us & shows d obvious diversion of public funds. Well, this pains will continue to stay with them until they repent. Thank God for the change.

Once again, congratulations to the couple.
This wedding has renew my belief in the Vice President as a true man of honour

My brother, thank you very much for your position as it is patriotically based with evidence. Saraki is already a drowning man.

Long but interesting report.

Time seems to be on the part of the president as the 2019 elections is just in less than 1 year.


People are just getting unnecessary emotional about this election sequence while ignoring the other valid points raised by the president in withholding his assent.

They need to go back and take another look at those bills. If they want INEC to conduct local government elections, it has to be via a constitutional amendment.

The president equally queried why 2 grounds for challenging the outcome of an election at an Election Tribunal was removed.

A lot of both readers and the media has not deemed it fit to reveal which justifications for challenging election results were removed to be able to establish if it will be in the overall benefit of the country or the NASS was just being selfish. This is even more important than the election sequence everybody is singing about.

It is quite ironical that it is the president they call illiterate that has been regularly communicating with the NASS on bills he is withholding assent while giving justifications.

I never heard of GEJ/Yaradua communicating with the house in this regard. For Obasanjo only few occasions.

GEJ simply collated their bills in one corner of Aso Rock and was enjoying his fisherman soup and kain kain. At a time, there was a report of almost 200 bills awaiting Presidential assent/assent decline. It was only the constitutional amendment he vetoed at the tail end of his administration. That was a credit to him I must say, as the amendments sought to water down some powers of the president, and he definitely cannot be there for ever.

They should go and work on the amendments with more zeal and give critical attention to the points raised by the president, otherwise the Supreme Court will just throw the Act to the dustbin based on its contradictory stance with the constitution.

There is even a subsisting Supreme Court judgment in this regard during the Obasanjo time.

Okowa should learn how to lie and stop disgracing himself

Nobody is giving them bribe again. They are just wasting their time. Most of these National members will not come back. Bravo to Baba Buhari and Prof Yemi Osinbajo, forward ever, backward never.

Reading through the comments, I realised that few people are boiling with envy and hatred. Sha, let me wish the beautiful couple a happy married life. Congratulations to the Osinbajos

Congratulations to the couple. May God continue to bless their wedding

Stories.

Very well response to Fani Kayede. The man has indeed lost the essence of his humanity.

When my brother drew my attention to the article with the above heading, the first thing that came to my mind was wao this look like a Femi Fani-Kayode's kind of malignment. And guess what, I was right, the malevolent indeed emanated from Femi Fani-Kayode. 


As a person, since I realised that Femi may be having some psychological problems due to   the influence of too much intake of some substances, I decided not take him seriously and respond to his comments on any platform again. But, after reading through this his evil motives article which I think may affect negatively the emotions of some gullible ones, I have decided to write this rejoinder.


After a thorough research about Femi Fani-kayode, I have come to realize that he enjoyed and survive on falsehood. During the time of Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, he was regarded as the attack dog of that administration; he abused people at will; his name calling and open denigration of Former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and anyone not on the same page with Obasanjo then earned him a ministerial position. 

Am going through these memory lane to at least make people understand the person of Fani Kayode. In July 2013, when he was still a believer of the then newly formed APC party, he attacked Jonathan from all dimensions to the extent of calling him the worst and the most corrupt President to be elected in Nigeria (Femi Fani Kayode on YouTube). His malevolent and malicious stand against anybody rooting for Jonathan then made him to undertook a vicious attack on Igbo ethnic group during the deportation of some destitute from Lagos to Anambara State and the subsequent apology tendered by the then Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola. In his reaction, Fani Kayode said, “If I were Governor of Lagos state I would never have apologised for the execution of a legitimate and lawful exercise which was absolutely necessary and which was done in the interests of my state and my people, no matter how many cows I had been offered or given by the kinsmen of those affected". 

Furthermore, Femi Fani Kayode continue his vicious and garrulous attack on Jonathan, until he got what he wanted, the Former President could not bear it any longer, he then brought him into his government. 


Now, let me address the issues he raised in this present article.


With the reality staring on his face that the present government is not ready to succumb to his cheap blackmail, he is now taking a dangerous dimension of using religion. 


The first allegation he made according to him was that one Sheik Abubakar Gero Argungu preaches against Christianity and that the present government did not do anything about it.  As an individual from the North Central where he (Fani Kayode) regarded as middle belt for his selfish and evil mind, am disturbed and regarding it as hypocritical hearing from the same Femi Fani Kayode who openly criticised Buhari led government over conflict that ensued between Nigeria Army and the members of Islamic Movement of Nigeria in Zaria, Kaduna State and the continue detention of their leader,  Sheik Ibrahim Elzakzaky. Is it that Fani Kayode has forgotten that Elzakzaky is a Muslim? 


As for the farmers herders crisis, we are all aware that the killing predates the present government and the government has taken so many measures to finding a lasting peace between farmers and herders. Fani Kayode in his usual belligerent manner has forgotten that the Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo who is now his target led committee set up by the National Economic Council to find lasting solutions to killings by herdsmen across the country. The committee as we are aware recommended increased military presence in Benue and other states affected by the attacks. In the same light, the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Office of the Vice President Laolu Akande recently released steps taken so far by the Federal Government to bring peace to the troubled states, and the move is already yielding results with the arrest of some armed herdsmen and even some being killed by the military.

  

When a former Minister who is supposed to be a statesman in his own right decided to chase a rat, it is most unfortunate. 

I am not ready to join issues with FFK using religion as a base for an argument with a man who seems to have lost the essence of humanity. But, my question again to him over his misleading comment that the states affected by Herdsmen killing are Christians, I don't know how in his usual unsubstantiated manners came up with that, but, most importantly is that nobody can use religion to cause disaffection among us that are Indigenes of North Central again. Who doesn't know that killing between farmers and herdsmen is beyond religion? 

 

On the issues of restructuring, it is obvious Femi Fani Kayode thinks he can take Nigerians for granted. We all know the Vice President's position about restructuring, just recently He made the presentation at a National Security Summit organized by the National Assembly in Abuja advocating for State policing. This is verifiable. 


On the issue of militancy and insecurity in the South/South and South East, Femi Fani Kayode will definitely be on the wrong side of history for his malicious intent against the Vice President. It is on records that Professor Yemi Osinbajo used all the available means to quell the crisis in those two regions. It is very fresh in our memories how the Vice President toured the Niger Delta States negotiating with the Militants and their leaders in search of peace when the President was in UK receiving treatment, which was successful. Today, peace has returned to that region with no more bombing of oil facilities As for the South East and IPOB, we knew steps were taken for peaceful resolution but, it did not work, until the military were drafted to restore normalcy in that region. But, what even baffles me here is the hypocrisy of Femi Fani Kayode, the same man who in 2013 reacted to some Igbo leaders and the South/Southerners in a very damning way. Here is the excerpt from his comments in 2013: "If anyone thinks that they can intimidate us into keeping quite when their leaders say such things, then they will have the biggest shocker of their lives. We shall not be silenced and they shall not pass. Lagos and the Yoruba generally have much stronger historical, cultural and trading ties with the Bini, Itsekiri, Urhobo, Isoko, Hausa-Fulani, Tapa, Nupe and Ijaw than they do with the Igbo". He also injected his venom at Bianca Ojukwu all with the intention to disrespect Igbo leaders.  Now he pretends to love these same people he lashed with his mouth then, think about it before you commit yourself to this fake man. 


Another misleading information given by this unrepentant maligner called Femi Fani Kayode in desperate move to discredit the Vice President knowing fully well his integrity and acceptability by the people is his position that Buhari was imposed by the Northern Hausa/Fulani Muslim. Even a wheelbarrow pusher in Ajengule knows there is no way anyone could have won election without getting the needed 25% stipulated by the constitution in 25 States of the Federation. Fani Kayode had also forgotten in his slanderous article that President Muhammadu Buhari won 5 out of 6 States in the South West and got 25% in one State each of the South East and South/South. Another reason I said too much intake of white powder substance may be responsible for Femi Fani Kayode's self inflicted ordeal. 


With regards to appointments, the Vice President was right to have said the fact. For those who may not be conversant with the interview, here are his responses when the question about nepotism came up, the Vice President said:"look at the cabinet, for example, from the point of view of religion, it has an equal number:18 Christians, 18 Muslims; but, we have the Secretary to the Government of the Federation as well as well as the Head of Service who are Christians.

So we have 20 Christians to 18 Muslims; that is the structure of the cabinet. So if you take that narrative you may argue that perhaps the Christian have the upper hand; that's a possible narrative. 

"Let us look a little deeper into that... The South East, for example, has five states. Four of the South East states have senior ministers; all of them, except one, who is Minister of State for Education. 
"In assigning particular portfolios he does (have a choice). In the north, seven northern states have no senior minister, including the President's home state, Kastina. 

"Now, there are those who will say, if you are nepotistic; it's a narrative depending on how you want to run it". 

The above is an excerpt from the Vice President's interview. 
One important take away from the interview was that I later did my own research and found out that truly, the CEOs of various agencies are mostly from the South. 

Also very importantly, was the stand of the President to look at areas where such things are true. For example, given the example of security given by the interviwer, the President said he is going to take a look at it.  

For posterity sake, where has the Vice President falter? His responses above are verifiable and on records for anybody to read. You can also see why I said too much intake of white powder substance is affecting Femi Fani Kayode. 


My last response has to do with the dangerous angle taken by this wayward man who called himself Fani Kayode is his encroachment into the danger zone of the security agencies. The worst step anybody can take is to make any discouraging remarks on the Military personnel who are on the field to keep the country at peace. So for my friend Fani Kayode who I strongly believe is under psychological attack to say only the Christian Soldiers are in the North East to fight Boko Haram is abnormal. Let me take us back to the death of Col Abu Ali a young man who was nicknamed as Sarki Yaki as a result of his tactics towards the liberation of so many Local Governments that were hitherto under the insurgents. The late officer until his death was a Muslim from my State, Kogi State. In the same way, I lost my friend who was also a Muslim from my village. So, it is disheartening to hear someone say irresponsible things like the above just for personal gains or what is known as stomach infrastructure in Nigeria now. 


Finally, for anyone to think of dragging the Vice President's hard earned reputation into mud will definitely be an exercise in futility. 

The present Vice President, arguably has been the best, the most active and patriotic person to be in that exalted position. 


Furthermore, Femi Fani Kayode should go and look for productive business and stop all these unnecessary intendment to cause distractions which will never work. And at the same time go to the psychiatric hospital for diagnosis to avoid future occurrence of his unforgiving miscalculation.  


Comrade Wada Yahaya

Let me use this medium to say rest in peace to PDP. Reading through this lamentations of PDP, I have realized that their evil orchestration against Buhari have failed. Thank God for the gift of Buhari and his ever reliable Vice, Professor Osinbajo.

Very simple and humble Vice President. May God continue to strengthen him and Baba Buhari

Happy Birthday to an icon and a reservoir of knowledge and humility

Happy Birthday to our ever reliable Vice President Professor Yemi Osinbajo, may God continue to strengthen & protect you with many more years of good health. We will ever remain grateful sir.

Reading comments from the politically motivated writers, I realised that some of these PDP cronies have lost direction. Why criticising a man who is known to be a principled man.

Must some of these political downtrodden politicise every issues? The Vice President has shown that he is a responsible man

Còmmendable effort indeed
