Any review should be DOWNWARD review of the tariff.


If smaller operators can't compete they should close shop. It is not by force

abi oh! Upon the upward review they are still saying its for our interest.

Same way Pmb refused to congratulate APC's Bello of Kogi state. So Wht your comment on that?

Let him be a fair father to all. Since he started that policy of not congratulating elected governors, he should have sustained it to remain a man of honour

By Emmanuel Aziken,

Political Editor The People’s Democratic Party, PDP has faulted President Muh-ammadu Buhari for quickly congratulating Mr. Godwin Obaseki on his declaration as winner of the Edo State governorship election, saying it is a reversal of his Inauguration Day declaration not to be beholden to anyone.

The PDP’s comment came in the face of strident condemnation by the state chapter of the PDP of the declaration of Mr. Obaseki as the winner of the election. The PDP’s candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu in a press conference in the hours leading to the declaration on Thursday had alleged subterfuge on the part of the Independent National Electoral Commission and the All Progressives Congress, APC saying that the results were cooked up ahead of the election. He also asserted that the results did not even reflect the huge turnout of the people on the premise that those who cooked the result did not envisage the huge turnout.

Edo PDP in a statement also issued by its spokesman, Chris Enehikare noted several incidents of disruption of collation in places where PDP showed strong dominance, the open inducement of voters with money to vote and the willing collaboration of some electoral officers to allow what the party described as an electoral heist.

The assertions were denied by APC officials who challenged the PDP to prove its case in court.

Meanwhile, the national spokesman of the PDP, Prince Dayo Adeyeye in a statement issued yester-day faulted President Buhari’s congratulation saying the president had not shown himself to be a father of all especially given that he had in the past not congratulated PDP candidates who won governorship elections.

He said: “President Buhari’s congratulatory message to Godwin Obaseki has finally revealed his hand in the Edo Guber Election imbroglio. We note with sadness that he had never extended similar congratulatory messages or goodwill to PDP candidates who were victorious in various Elections since he assumed office.

“In Bayelsa State where his Party with the support of security agencies virtually declared war on Governor Seriake Dickson and the people of Bayelsa, the President refused to congratulate the PDP Candidate who against all odds managed to survive the APC onslaught. His aides claimed then that the President was not in the business of congratulating election winners.

Why the sudden change of heart now if we may ask? The only plausible explanation is that the President was eager to confer legitimacy on an otherwise badly flawed Election in which his Party acted like Shina Rambo, the notorious Armed Robber. Only that this time they were robbing the people of their votes.

“The action of the President belies his statement that he belongs to nobody but belongs to everybody . The President has shown where he belongs. We recall that President Jonathan dutifully never failed to congratulate opposition candidates who won elections during his tenure including Adams Oshiomhole. That is what is expected of a statesman.

“We did not lose the Gubernatorial Election in Edo State. We can therefore not be described as “bad losers” according to the APC State Chairman in Edo State, Anselm Ojezua. We were robbed by very shameless election riggers.

“We fully support the Edo Chapter of the PDP in the total rejection of the election results. We also fully endorse their determination to employ all legitimate means to reclaim their stolen mandate. Finally we wish to warn Nigerians that our democracy is in grave danger.

Since the advent of this administration, no election has been free and fair. We go for elections as if we are going to war; and virtually all elections conducted by INEC have been either inconclusive or blatantly rigged.

“Today Rivers State has no representation in the National Assembly. No thanks to the powers that be. If we do not collectively rise to resist this anti people onslaught we might as well say bye bye to democracy.”

PDP have a Point cos the president should be seen to set the standard, what ever stopped him from congratulating Dickson should have stopped him from congratulating Obaseki shikena

TonyeBarcanista:
When did I become a prophet? Well I predicted and projected victory for Iyamu based on free and fair contest

I respect ur analysis on some issues but for this edo governorship u were too partisan to be objective. Conduct the election ten times in this edo state ur candidat won't still win apart from the inducement by both parties of course the election was as free as we can get

dirtymoney:
Edo is the second most under developed state after Bayelsa in the Niger Delta.
And believe me, ND has cared nothing about any state being part of it.

Ignorance everywhere, pls what indices are u using pls let's know where to start comparing state by state

Akpan107:
The Niger Deltan region has always been suffering due to air, water and land pollution. in this case, the government will suffer more, atleast, let the world know we are not cowards. true resource control or regional system of government is the only guarantee for total peace in the Niger Delta.

very funny, who is the we, do they know u? These guys are on a mission for themselves alone. The poor villagers and their chldren are the once who would suffer. And guess what, they won't be beneficiaries of any negotiations

basilo101:
we hope they export the fishes and earn FOREX to get us out of recession

at least their coming generations won't suffer from years of negative effects of the chemical destruction years after these criminals have squandered whatever they get from negotiation. Who says we we can't make it an export item?

undecidedYoruba:
A crude oil delivery line belonging to the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company crossing Afiesere- Iwhrenene communities in Ughelli North Council Area of Delta State has been blown up by suspected militants.

A militant group, the Niger Delta Greenland Justice Mandate, claimed responsibility for the attack, which occurred at about 1am on Tuesday.

The spokesperson for the militant group, Aldo Agbalaja, confirmed the development in a statement sent to our correspondent.

The group, which is simply called Greenland, threatened further attacks while disclosing that Tuesday’s attack was carried out as part of ‘Operation Crocodile Tears’, a planned series of attacks on oil facilities, which it declared earlier.

It said, “As a mark of our faith to totally grounding the Nigerian oil economy, the gallant “Opudo” strike forces brought down the Afiesere- Iwhrenene major delivery line in Ughelli North, leading to the UPS/UQCC operated by NPDC/SHORELINES at about 1am today 13th september 2016.

“The Niger Delta is not a conquered territory and our people have never succumbed to intimidation before, rather we match force with the oppressor’s brutality.

“The Nigerian government should already know that the people of this part are not fools, who will not be able to see when they are being treated with disdain.”

The militant group reiterated its call to those living and working around oil companies within the upland region of the Niger Delta to vacate such premises to avoid being injured during attacks.

Warning that it was running out of patience with such people, the group said, “For the last time, leave these areas if you live around them and if you love your lives.”

it's expected, negotiating with any group was wrong in the first place (my opinion) cause the probability of a new group springing up is 100 percent. Exactly the way the miscreant collect deve where one group after collecting will disperse into forming numerous other groups for same purpose. U begin to wonder if Yar' Adua didn't give any amnesty or the ND region is now 10 times its population. Funny enough go to Warri, P/H, Yenagoa etc where the real ND citizens are u will see that they don't get a dime

jerryunit48:
Even with oyel money self , I have said it before Okowa is clueless since he assumed office there has been no real project executed in the entire Delta state

It will be unfair to blame Okowa who just came in. The past 2 successive governors basically grew up in the town but chose to fill their pockets instead. Ibori even used DLA and 'delta owned' Niger Cat to construct some roads that have since become dilapidated. But Uduaghan did next to nothing

nobilis:
This your response is part of what is the problem with Nigeria.
Inability to separate your emotions and sentiments from reality.

I neither hate nor love Okonjo-Iweala.
The questions I asked are valid questions any right-thinking Nigerian should be asking.

But obviously, we are so shallow-minded that we fail to hold our leaders, both past and present, accountable for their actions. We are so petty that we wear our emotions and sentiments on our sleeves and allow our politicians to sway us by mere words.

Well, we get the leaders we deserve sha.

A look at the number of likes and shares he got says a lot about people on this forum, a finance minister who had to resort to borrowing to pay salaries at the twilight of her tenure. Smh

newbornmacho:
You may as well extend your memory and nistalgia to the time when whites ruled Nigeria and things "worked" . you wrote this lengthy epistle with no mention of the causes of militancy, you compare lagos a place the represents the conspiracy against the Niger delta with warri a place that has suffered and is still suffering at the hands of hausa-fulani feudalists and their Yoruba accomplices, and you expect to be taken seriously. You want the owners of the oil to be content with welding and catering and even prostitution while the thieves cart away everything to their regions? Clap for yourself. Militancy was caused by marginalization and will continue until redress is made.

Aside Tompolo and a few amnesty billionaires who has militancy helped

yorubasmustprosper:
Catering, bricklayer, technician, capentery, welders etc and the major oil workers and owners of all blocks are who?
The whites and the Hausa-Fulani..

What a thinking... Clap for yourselves.

When a cornered coward writes, it reeks of fear..

has these mindless blowing of pipelines and polluting and degrading the environment changed the ownership of these blocks. I was born and raised in Warri, my dad an artisan back then used to take flight from Benin to Warri due to affluence in the town. He was either working for a staff of NNPC, Shell, Gulf or Seismograph companies, Servicing companies just to mention a few. Our dream was going to school and working in these companies.Go to the town now u would not see a trace of these companies. In their place we now have few barely literate individuals who have become billionaires from violent agitations. I have a dream that one day my beloved city will bounce back but we need more of these re awakening

sunnyflakes:
I am an electorate in oredo ward 7 I wont tell u my unit for security purpose. Forget about the over a billion naira advertisements of Obaseki seen everywhere the feelers on ground clearly shows Iyamu is leading which is why oshiomole advocated for a shift in election date.

u see again[color=#000099][/color] who said there won't be voters for PDP but bros let's not make it look like they can get more than 30 percent of the votes in that ur ward and in the entire state

handie:
If u follow this election on twitter and Nairaland, you'll get the impression that Ize-Iyamu has already won the election. But if u come to Edo state, you'll know that Ize Iyamu can't win more than 6 local government areas. On this election postponement, there's more to it than meets the eye. How can a state that's safe enough to host the president just 3 days ago suddenly become unsafe for elections? What's the security situation in Edo state? Is it any worse than Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states in 2015? I'm in Edo and as far as I know, Edo is safe. The police should come clean with us.

Don't be surprised cos most of those on those platforms aren't from the state. Was at Egor, Ikpoba Okha, Oredo this week u will begin to wonder which Edo state they are talking about

America no dey see or hear about this human right violation

Hmmmmm, impressive

30 to 35 is too late, any lady that is serious minded should consider this before she is 25 cos when does she want to have chidren, after menopause

CaptEColeJnr:
When will these people have sense?
How do you expect to gain acceleration and run at full speed with those burden of load on her body!

Plain stupidity if you ask me

Don't u think also removing the pant and bra will also aid acceleration

rabex123:
dats not the point..at least its a step to decency..dress naked or with bra and pant and behave like a saint Make we see.

food for thought

repogirl:
And ofcourse Germany won

before nko, wouldn't there be a winner. Sincerely, can u wear such for about 6 billion people to watch for free

toshino4real:
They won't comment, hypocrites

u can say that again!!!

Qmerit:
Real voters re not seen up there why

true!!!

Winneygirl:
They look great.
I also believe that Okocha is preparing a bright future in football for his son.

if he doesn't have the talent try the best he can, it won't result to anything. Otherwise big teams in major sports would have been dominated by children of the affluents

Nicely written

AntiWailer:
And when Northerners areappointed into key positions for defence hypocrites like you screamed.

So ur hope and aim is a coup.

They should try it.

u have a point there, The President may be seeing beyond our sights

Living4christ:
Head-Bashers

Am sure even sick muslims will not say this about Christians. Grow up

NextGovernor:
Example. You can see that hole was dug for long from the picture and now 2 months to election, he wants to deceive people with this nonsense he is doing trying to form working. Him jazz go fail this time.

Don't make me laugh, how do u know the age of the HOLE from this pix. In making ur point pls let us know the length of the entire project, u don't judge by just a section of less than 100 metres u snapped, the area also pls

IllegalMoney:
God bless u
Those holes that Oshiomole digged up across Benin city is causing serious problems to communities where those holes are located

Someone reading this will think the whole of Benin has these holes u are talking about. Let me educate u a little. The on going storm water project for Uwelu East starts at Uwelu Powerlines by Adolo College road through Uwelu spare parts mkt, Evbuotubu through Ekenwan road to Ogba river a total length of over 7 km comprising of both trapezoidal drains, single and double cell box culverts at different sections. Those HOLES as u call it are foundation trenches for these concrete structures. For that length of construction and with the bad state of the economy (where money is not available for work for months and don't forget that very rich states like Delta, Akwa Ibom who don't have such gigantic projects can't even pay saries for months) about two or three buildings after Ogidan barracks are some metres away from the eroding trenches and this is not unexpected. As of last week work is on going at both Evbuotubu axis by Norman Edwards schools and close to the beginning by Adolo College road. My friend do ur research and SAY NO TO HEARSAY
