maasoap:
The losers can go to tribunal or take to the streets, soldiers who were just returned from the sambisa forests are on the wait. Lol

PassingShot:
That's where they "lost" it - if indeed they lose the election.

Esseite:
When they are empty, they go insulting... was it not the Remi squabble and the threat not to set feet in lagos that made him take upon that trip to lagos?

He has no issues with Saraki neither has Saraki done anything against him, why is he speaking against him?

For GEJ, likewise majority of APC including lai spoke against GEJ, Now all but Dino have gone mute on the comatose we current live in.

Esseite:
Tinubu is likewise called a thief in lagos, he has not spoken about him, but on Remi Tinubu whom he had a squabble with. Its not his business.

Esseite:
If not for anything, i like how vocal Dino is no matter whose ox is gored.

He spoke against GEJ
He spoke against Tinubu
He spoke against Buhari
He spoke against osinbajo
He spoke against himself on joining APC
He spoke against the IGP

Take it or leave it, he fears no one and corrects his mistakes where neccessary.

Abuja – The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has cleared the air on media claims that it has frozen the accounts of musician, David Adeleke, aka Davido and that of his uncle, Ademola Adeleke, alias ‘dancing senator’.

The commission said in a statement signed on Sunday by its spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, that there was no truth whatsoever in the claims being perpetrated by The Peoples Democratic Party and some politically motivated elements out to spurn the image of the anti- graft agency.

Wilson said, “The attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC has been drawn to media publications alleging that it had frozen the account of Senator Ademola Adeleke, candidate of the opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP, in the September 22, 2018 Osun State governorship election and those of his family members, including the musician, David Adeleke.

“The Commission calls on members the public to disregard the report, which is patently false and contrived to dress the agency with a partisan garb in the unfolding political contest in Osun State.

“For the avoidance of doubt, at no time did the EFCC place a freeze order on any account belonging to members of the Adeleke family. “The purported freeze order which has unfortunately been amplified by pliable sections of the media without any attempt at confirmation, is alien to the Commission and another example of fake news.

“The EFCC frowns at the seeming attempts by faceless forces to drag it into the political fray and, for the umpteenth time, restates its neutrality as a law enforcement organization that is sworn to uphold the law at all times, irrespective whose interest is at stake,” the fence said.

The Accord Party on Wednesday expelled the former Special Assistant to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Doyin Okupe, over alleged anti-party activities, which the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party said had caused chaos and anarchy in the party.

His expulsion is coming a day after he was appointed by Senate President Bukola Saraki as the Chairman, campaign media council, of his 2019 presidential campaign.

The National Secretary of the party, Mrs Abiola Ajaja, said the party took the decision after they invited Okupe severally and he declined to honour the invitation and also refused to desist from his negative actions.

She said that the party’s NEC had been on the issue of Okupe’s disobedience to the party for a long time, adding that today, the people that agreed that he should be sacked outnumbered those who wanted him to be cautioned.

“The third issue we deliberated was that of Doyin Okupe, who has been expelled from our party on grounds of anti-party activity. We have been on it for a very long time, he had been invited severally but he refused to come, and still he did not desist from his anti-party activity which has caused chaos and anarchy in the party.

“So, we have actually agreed today through vote, that he should be expelled. The people that supported his expulsion outnumbered the number of those who wanted him to be cautioned. Nine voted that he should be expelled, while four voted that he should be cautioned, and one absented. We are also hopeful of having a presidential candidate; by the grace of God we shall have”, she said.

The Accord scribe disclosed that during the NEC deliberations, they considered the possibility of waving the nomination and expression of interest fees for women, adding that the NEC also resolved to cut the nomination and expression of interest fees by 50 percent for youths.

“The outcome is very important and interesting, we have deliberated on so many issues, but the most interesting party of it is that we are considering waiving all the payments for women, we are trying to encourage women to come into our party by canceling all the money they are supposed to pay including expression of interest and nomination fees. Women who are ready to come now will come and contest without paying a kobo.

“Secondly, we deliberated on the not too young to run law passed by the National Aassembly for the youths, so we have decided to bring them on board, because Accord is for women, Accord is for youths, starting from eighteen years to thirty five.

“The youths who want to come and join us to contest the election will pay half of the price of whatever the fee is for the nomination and expression of interest form. They will pay half to the party in order to encourage them”, she said.

The All Progressives Congress(APC) now has 15.6million members nationwide, according to party chairman Adams Oshiomhole.

He disclosed this on Wednesday when he presented President Muhammadu Buhari with a new party membership card.

Oshiomhole told the president that the APC under his leadership, took advantage of modern technology to come up with a new membership data base, saying that the party currently has 15.6 million registered members.

“Today to talk about the size of our party, the largest party in the world and in Africa, we need to have evidence that can be verified by a third party or by members.

“We have taken advantage of technology to produce what I believed is the best or the first in Nigeria.

“We now have as at last week when they started printing of membership register, about 15.6 million registered APC members across the country,” he said.

Fact checking however showed that while APC may have registered 15.6m members, it is not the world’s largest. The Chinese Communist Party has 89million registered members, while India’s ruling party, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has a membership of 110 million as at 2015. In Africa, South Africa’s African National Congress had 769,000 members as at 2015. The PDP membership strength is unknown.

The APC national chairman added that the party membership data base was designed to ensure that the membership status of anyone could easily be verified at the touch of a bottom.

Oshiomhole further added that with the development, the party had credible and verifiable persons to conduct direct primaries on the basis of its membership register.

However, he said the party would not in any way nullify or change the decisions of its National Executive Committee (NEC) at its sixth meeting, which allowed for indirect primaries, for logistics reasons

He said the APC will strive to give practical expression to its decision as transparently as possible.

This, he added, would ensure that the APC would not only be the largest, but the smartest, most democratic and most cohesive party in the country.

I still believe what is currently playing out is an attempt to shake Ambode up and force him to fall in-line with the desires of party leaders. This is really not about Tinubu as being speculated. Ambode has not done well in terms of returns to party leaders and they are fully out for him.
