President Muhammadu Buhari has asked his supporters to suspend campaigns for his re-election in order to avoid breaching the rules of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).The president said this in a statement which Femi Adesina, his spokesman, issued on his behlaf.

Buhari said he appreciated his supporters’ enthusiasm “borne out of their desire to garner support for an administration that is actuated by nothing else, other than service for motherland”.

He added that that there would be ample opportunity for them to showcase his administration’s achievements and campaign for him when the time comes.

“It has been observed that some fervent supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari have begun what may be interpreted as political campaigns in their advocacies and advertisements in the mass media,” the statement read.

“We appreciate their enthusiasm, borne out of desire to garner support for an administration that is actuated by nothing else, other than service for motherland, but we hereby appeal for patience, so that the game can be played according to the rules.

“The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has a timetable for political campaigns, and we urge committed supporters round the country (and beyond) to be mindful of such. There will be ample time ahead to trumpet the good works of the Buhari administration, and solicit re-election, all for the good of our country and her people.

“While a chronicle of the achievements of the administration is in order now, outright canvasing may amount to jumping the gun. We are an administration committed to due process and scrupulous respect for rules, law and order.

“We appreciate our massive supporters nationwide, and urge them to exercise restraint till the race commences officially as stipulated by law.”

In a statement by Femi Adesina, media adviser to Buhari, he asked Buhari’s supporters to be patient while…..

The Ibibio seem to have gift for naming villages and towns similarly. I guess it is universal as the meanings of some renowned towns and cities in the world may leave one in fits of laughter!

I would like to do the same if I did come by the means someday. My mum dreams of visiting America one day.

Cutie, I actually didn't mention Achebe hall. I only made an analogy between what I read in one of Achebe's books "There was a country" and what the lunatic did at Uniben.

nma4god:
you went to MOUAU?

No, but why did you ask?

This incident reminds me of how a lunatic took the chalk and taught a class local history during Achebe days as a student, as narrated in his work.

I have come to the conclusion that the only religion worthy of being a member is that of love and humanity. Religion, if it must exist, should be universal in humanity and love and not as a tool for stupidity and exploitation.

There is a case of robbery and one man is more concerned with how another man spelt lord. Na wa!

Her body, her business!

Easier said than done, we will still talk about this policy implementation in the next five years!

The prevailing sentiment is seeing Africa, a continent, as a country. In that regard, one may not blame them as we Africans tend to see ourselves as one once we are out of the continent without regard to the states created by colonialists to break our solidarity.

Looking like armed robbers? Those guys are armed robbers!

The key word is rehabilitation and not retributive. It is the way to go!

He seems to have come of age

My kind of guy!

I advise the university to involve the law enforcement agencies to get her to come forward. Sexual harassment claims are capable of undermining the integrity of any institution in this age!

BluntBoy:
That is not the issue.

The issue is that no one called them GEJ's nephews. No one even thought much about them until a Fulani man became president.

During the last administration, there were those who believed that GEJ was behind the Boko Haram problem, and it was a reason quite a number of northerners voted against him. I was in in the north at the time, precisely Maiduguri, though I am from the south, so I am informing you from experience. So tagging or associating the alleged herdsmen attacks on others with Buhari is not new. It is perennial to Nigerisns!

Don't say men, they are boys, stupid and randy boys!

Quite unfortunate to see this scene playing out under a supposedly man of integrity. Buhari seems to have squandered every bit of goodwill he enjoyed before he became a president!

I advise people to choose private schools, if they lack funds to school abroad and have to do it in Nigeria. The public schools have become largely antiquated. Even the operators of public schools are aware of this embarrassing fact!

Did my HIV test a week ago, will go for another in three months time.

BreakupNigeria:
Where did you get your statistics that yorubas number 42 million and Igbos 30 million from??
You shouldn't be proud of Bayelsa because they are way down the table, almost at the bottom, a place reserved for Northern states Your line of defense that Bayelsa has a small population does not hold water because Ekiti and Ebonyi equally have small population but they are way doing relatively much better.

Enrolment rates fluctuate year in year out. States should be judged based on performance. I am very sure that the Bayelsa at number 31 will not occupy that the same position when results are out. Shalom.

Teeisaac:
Bayelsa boy no like sch .na our oyel Dem go dey shout up$down

You are not smart, my friend. Bayelsa is the least populated state in Nigeria with just eight local government areas, which means we can't compete with highly populated states in terms of JAMB enrolment except people have stopped enrolling for JAMB. I think we should be judged based on performance, and I can bet you we will come out among the top ten at the end of the day. What I am saying is this: Please judge us based on quality and not quantity. Shalom.

I was feeling weak for a while, so went for the test yesterday. The waiting period was not easy. A lot crossed my mind. And then I was called in again and told the result showed negative. The sigh of relieve was unfathomable. Abstain from sex and be careful with sharp objects. Go for test in another hospital.

None of my business!

Dear brothers, we have to be careful how we deal with women.

Senior citizens of the Republic!!!

You are not smart @OP
