Story for the gods.......in olamide's voice

galadima77: and one should assume he wont get any preferential treatment abi?

that is not a new thing naa.all men are born equal does not mean all men are equal.preferential treatment is bound to be.....even if u are his lecturer you will accord some prefential treatment to baba OBJ ebora to ilu owu.

The National Publicity Secretary of the All
progressives Congress, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, says
the party is aware that there are many spies of the
Peoples Democratic Party within the APC. He,
however, maintained that they would keep fishing
out spies of the PDP from the party.
Mohammed, said this during an interview with our
correspondent.
He said this while responding to questions on why
the APC waited for a former Governor of Borno State,
Ali Modu Sheriff, to join the PDP before accusing him
of being a Boko Haram sponsor.
A former Governor of Lagos State and national leader
of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, also alleged three
weeks ago that a leader of the party, Chief Tom Ikimi,
was also a mole of the PDP.
The APC spokesperson said because the APC was a
combination of three national parties, it was easy for
the PDP to plant moles in the APC.
He said the issue was also more complex because in
a democratic setting, it was improper for a political
party not to allow an individual to join its camp.
He said, “Sheriff was always the PDP’s mole and we
even suspected him of being a Boko Haram sponsor
when he was in our party. You see the APC is a
combination of the Action Congress of Nigeria, the
Congress for Progressive Change and the All Nigerian
Peoples Party. Sheriff was from the ANPP.
“It is difficult spotting moles of the PDP in our party
but every now and then, their actions give them
away and we begin to watch them. And we will keep
fishing them out.”
When asked what the difference between the APC
and the PDP was since almost the same politicians
made up the two parties, Mohammed said the
ideology of the APC was what made the difference.
“There is a difference, we are progressives. The
moment you join our party, you will be given our
manifesto and that is what will guide you,” he said. www.punchng.com/politics/well-keep-catching-pdp-moles-says-lai-mohammed/

The founder of DB Records and top entertainer, Dapo
Daniel Oyebanjo, popularly known as D’banj seems
to have proposed to Adama, his rumoured girlfriend
and daughter of billionaire oil magnate, Alhaji
Mohammed Indimi.
Adama who had been seen in the company of D’Banj,
has been flaunting a diamond ring in new pictures
she posted on Instagram, prompting rumors of an
engagement. The big question is, has D’Banj
proposed to her? Is D’Banj rumoured to have dated
Nollywood diva, Genevieve Nnaji in the past ready to
settle down?
D’banj is a Nigerian singer-songwriter, harmonica
player, and businessman. He has won several music
awards, including the awards for Best African Act at
the MTV Europe Music Awards 2007, Artist of the
Year at the MTV Africa Music Awards 2009, Best
International Act: Africa at the BET Awards 2011, and
Best-selling African Artist at the 2014 World Music
Awards.
He adopted the stage name D’banj, a combination of
his first name Dapo and his surname Oyebanjo.
D’banj is currently best known internationally for his
2012 summer hit “Oliver Twist”, an uptempo dance
fusion of Afrobeat and electronic dance music that
topped the African charts 2011 and was a top 10 hit
in the UK singles chart in 2012 reaching No. 2 on the
UK R&B chart. www.vanguardngr.com/2014/09/dbanj-proposes-girlfriend/

SirElaw: Anybody can declare his/her presidential ambition, even my humble self, but would that get me elected?

.gbam!!!u are very much on point.

Atiku can never be my president, am not saying he can't win presidential election or that he can't secure the APC ticket rather what am saying is that if he becomes the president I will leave nigeria that same night to GOD knows where? even it has to be niger republic,somalia,mali or better still USA,in short any country will be okay for me in as much as atiku is not the president of such country. it is only in nigeria that people who have not achieved any meaning thing in their previous post will be thinking of contesting for the highest post.

A former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, is
considering to declare his 2015 presidential ambition
on Wednesday, September 24, 2014.
As part of the preparations, sources close to his
campaign office at Jabi, Abuja said several venues
were being considered for the declaration.
Some of these venues include the Eagles Square,
Sheraton Hotel, Hilton Hotel, Yar’Adua Centre and the
National Stadium.
It was also gathered that some of his staff were sent
on retreat last week on how to handle the declaration
and the campaign that would follow.
Atiku is a member of the All Progressives Congress
and he is expected to battle for the party’s sole ticket
with the likes of a former Head of State, Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), and Kano State
Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Nwoye emerges new Enugu deputy governor
AUGUST 28, 2014 BY IHUOMA CHIEDOZIE
6 Comments
Ralph Ifeanyichukwu Nwoye on Thursday emerged as
the new deputy governor of Enugu State.
The office had become vacant after Mr. Sunday
Onyebuchi was impeached by members of the Enugu
State House of Assembly on Tuesday.
The new deputy governor, a clergy of the Christ
Ascension Church, was screened and cleared by the
the house of assembly following his nomination by
Governor Sullivan Chime.
After the house had returned from a short break
during Thursday’s plenary session, the speaker, Hon.
Eugene Odoh, read a letter forwarded to the
lawmakers by the governor, urging them to
expeditiously consider, and approve Nwoye’s
nomination.
The break was occasioned by the receipt of the letter.
Relying on the provisions of section 191 (3) of the
1999 Constitution, as amended, Chime in the letter
said Nwoye’s nomination was sequel to the vacancy
in the Office of the Deputy Governor.
After the letter had been read, the Leader of the
house, Hon. S. K. Ude-Okoye, seconded by the Deputy
Leader, Hon. John Ukuta, moved motions for the
immediate acceptance and consideration of the
letter, and for the nominee’s screening.
Nwoye was then ushered into the chambers of the
house for screening, but he ended up just taking a
bow after a lawmaker, Hon. John Anichukwu, pleaded
with his colleagues that “the reverend gentleman
standing before us be allowed to take a bow and
leave the chambers.”
Ude-Okoye supported the plea, noting that Nwoye
had been screened and cleared by the house in the
past, when he was appointed as the commissioner of
environment and solid minerals, and had also
appeared before the legislators when he served as
the elected deputy chairman of Nkanu East Local
Government Area.
Moving a motion for the house to clear Nwoye, Ude-
Okoye said, “By age he is qualified to be the deputy
governor of this state, he is qualified by birth.
“He is qualified as a full Nigerian, and by educational
qualification, he is qualified to hold this excellent
position.”
The house leader added that Nwoye was also
qualified due to his conduct as a member of the
Peoples Democratic Party.
Nwoye was described as a loyal party man.
“He is qualified by the conduct known by this house
as one-time commissioner for environment and solid
minerals of this state, and one-time deputy chairman
of Nkanu East.
“Twenty-four of us are members of the same party
and Rev. Nwoye is our party member and a loyal
party man.
“I am moving a motion that this house clear Rev.
Nwoye as the deputy governor of Enugu State.”
The lawmakers, through a voice vote, unanimously
adopted the motion and cleared Nwoye.
The development came barely 48 hours after
Onyebuchi’s impeachment on Tuesday by the Enugu
State House of Assembly after a panel of enquiry
found him guilty of allegations of gross misconduct
levelled against him by members of the house.
Onyebuchi was accused of running a poultry in his
official residence, in spite of a resolution of the house
which outlawed the practice, and also refusing to
represent the governor at official functions.
Having denied the allegations in his testimony before
the investigative panel, Onyebuchi has said he will
challenge his impeachment in court.www.punchng.com/news/nwoye-emerges-new-enugu-deputy-governor/

Chime am really disappointed in you,despite your achievements as my state governors achievements means nothing to me again with this impeachment. why give a dog a bad name just to hang the dog. ONYEBUCHI relax, chime has finally mada you more popular and an hero

ENUGU -The Enugu State House of Assembly,
Tuesday morning impeached the Deputy Governor of
Enugu State, Mr. Sunday Onyebuchi who was
indicted for alleged misconduct
The
24-
member House unanimously voted in favour of
Onyebuchi’s removal from office after adopting the
report of the 7-man panel that investigated
allegations of misconduct leveled against him.
The impeachment proceeding was presided over by
the Speaker, Mr. Eugene Odo while the House Leader,
Mr. S.K.E Udeokoye moved the motion which was
unanimously adopted.
The impeachment panel had on Monday submitted
its report in three volumes and indicted the Deputy
Governor saying he was guilty of all the three
charges preferred against him.

atlwireles: Feb 2015 is about 7 months away. All our questions will be answered. Expect at least 2 PDP senators from Oyo and at least 6 house members.

in that case expect 3 PDP senators from ekiti state and 100% PDP federal reps from ekiti!!!!like you rightly said feb 14,2015 will settle these

sigmundfreud: I sincerely hope those 3 will not be contesting due to that o.

. I think so as well but come to think of it who else can they present to face GEJ only time will tell

atlwireles: We already have a majority leader from Oyo state and God willing she is the speaker in-waiting. Ekiti will not produce members with the seniority needed to campaign for a leadership role in the house. Thinking PDP will lose any of its current seats in Oyo stste is too amateurish. PDP is more stronger in Oyo state than Ekiti.

. PDP is more stronger in oyo state than ekiti haba,wait ooo do we now have two oyo state in nigeria or is it the same oyo state where I reside?let me ask you this,fine APC can't win the governor seat come 2015 in oyo state that is for sure.I doubt if APC will come second(pdP and accord) but can PDP win in all the local goverment of the state like what happened in ekiti state??if your answer is no,so on what Bases is pdp of oyo state stronger than ekiti pdp?mind you am not from oyo state but I was born,bred,schooled apart for my university decree which was in nearby ile ife in ibadan the oyo state capital.I know oyo state politics more than my state

tit: 1) He cant win pdp presidential primaries
2) he cant win pdp senatorial primaries
3) he cant win pdp gubernatorial primaries
4) he can defect to apc
**** 1) he will lose speakership
**** 2) he cant win apc presidential primaries
**** ...
**** 6) he becomes a has-been

. I agree with on your first point.but believe you u my lovely PDP will gladly hand over senatorial ticket,gubernatorial tiicket to him if he demand for it.if ribadu can be wooed back to be the PDP with ready made gubernatorial PDP ticket.you will agree with me that ribadu can't pull tambuwal crowd anyday anytime,and for the speakership it was not PDp that made him th speaker,I rest my case

atlwireles: The Nations is simply being silly. Nobody in PDP considers Tambuwal a member. With all due respect, he left the party last year August. We know come Feb 2015, you never hear his name associated with PDP ever again. The rightful person from Oyo state will become speaker from the PDP.

. DREAMLAND THING,if the next speaker will come from southwest then it will have to com EkITI STATE which is likely to deliver more federal honorable to PDP,mind you the only reason why oyo state almost produced the speaker in 2011 was because it was only oyo state that had a federal honorable from PDP in 2011.which is not likely to repeat in 2015 quote me.

Tambuwal must really be feeling like a DON toward. 2015,only him with four options,which include going for the presidency,senate,sokoto governor or better still defecting to APC......he better make a wise decision so as not to end up like na'abba...

Tambuwal’s comment
unsettles Presidency
House Speaker Aminu Tambuwal’s political hazy
future has unsettled the Presidency and the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP).
There were fears yesterday in the PDP that Tambuwal
is likely to defect to the All Progressives Congress
(APC).
It was also learnt that the ruling party has not
foreclosed “plans” to sack Tambuwal if he switches
over to APC, after making a “code statement”.
The PDP has used the ongoing vacation of the
National Assembly to woo Senators and members of
the House of Representatives to secure a comfortable
majority in the two chambers.
But it was learnt last night that Tambuwal has kept
his game plan to his chest. His decision on 2015 may
come be in the last minute.
There are rumours that he may either vie for a
presidential ticket or return to Sokoto State for the
governorship poll.
Investigation by our correspondent revealed that the
Speaker created unease in the Presidency and PDP
when he declared that “Nigeria deserves good
leadership in 2015”.
Also, when responding to a question on whether he
would defect to APC or not, he simply said: “Kowa ni
tsuntsu kukan gidan su yake yi”, which means “birds
of a feather flock together”.
Some Presidency and PDP chiefs, it was said
yesterday, regard Tambuwal’s comments as
“disloyal, lack of faith in the ruling party and a tacit
opposition to the re-election bid of President
Goodluck Jonathan”.
A highly-placed source said: “The comments of the
Speaker have caused some disquiet in the
government and at the party level.
“Some forces in the Presidency and PDP considered
Tambuwal’s comments as “anti-party” and lack of
support for Jonathan’s re-election bid.
“They are also claiming that the Speaker has
confirmed the suspicion that he has always had
sympathy for the opposition.
“These forces believe it would be a slight on the
ruling party for the number four to defect to APC.”
Asked of the next line of action, the source said: “I
think the PDP may not allow Tambuwal to beat it to
the game. Once he moves to APC, he may need to
vacate the office. This is why the party is already
consolidating its hold on the National Assembly.”
The PDP is wooing more lawmakers in the National
Assembly, especially members of the House of
Representatives.
The party is determined to have “a comfortable
majority” in the House of Representatives to take
charge.
“PDP has realised that it is a bit legally difficult to
sack some of its members who defected to APC from
the National Assembly. The process will have to go
from the lower court to the Supreme Court.
“The alternative is to ‘hijack’ the National Assembly,
especially the House, and dictate its pace.”
A source in Tambuwal’s camp said: “We know the
Presidency and the PDP have been uncomfortable
since the Speaker delivered his coded message.
“Their attack dogs have been abusing us in some
online media since Sunday. But they have forgotten
that democracy is about people and what they want
at any particular time.
“At the appropriate time, the Speaker will make his
plans for 2015 known to his constituents and
associates.”
Pressed to know the office the Speaker might seek in
2015, the source added: “Tambuwal has kept his
joker to himself. Not even his confidants can say his
mindset.
“He has some options which I think he won’t disclose
until the last minutes to the primaries for 2015 poll.
At best, you can say he is consulting.”. thenationonlineng.net/new/tambuwals-comment-unsettles-presidency/
