I testify! He delivers! Recently bought Romoss 8+ from him. Years back he sold me the one I had previously! It got lost is the reason I had to buy another from him. He’s a nice gentleman who’ll patiently answer your enquiries about his items without been finicky.
Folks who are Atiquiet are the ones in doubt whether they are still Atikulating! They are revving the engine of Atiku’s getaway car in readiness for the impending trip to political oblivion! Saraki just zoomed off in the same direction! Some say Buhari is presently on a farewell visit to Abuja! INEC will shortly be out with the directional signposts both travellers need!
Here you have the answer. The era of free money hitherto made available to folks in ABUJA who live the false life by the corrupt governments in the past was gone under Buhari and they find that unbearable. Truth is, civil servants who live within their legitimate means in ABUJA are few and far between! They want the dirty days back! The elites don’t like Buhari for the same reason. The unproductive sector of the ABUJA economy-beer and pepper soup sleaze joints - have lost so much patronage they’ll pollute the very air Buhari breathes!
OkpaNsukkaisBae: Have you forgotten Ken Nnamani! Ex SP from SE... even Chuba Okadigbo na ex SP. CHECK YOUR HISTORY BOOK
This is not about who was who as it is about political sagacity! Ekweremadu has that in ever increasing measure. It is a necessary condition for an Igbo Presidency.
The People Democratic Party Kwara Central collation agent Hon. Isiaka Magaji has refused to attest to the report of Independent National Electoral Commission on allegations that there were massive fraud in some area within Ilorin west
However, the Collation agents of All Progressive Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP), APP among others attested to the records as provided by INEC officials, they also commended the conduct of INEC to ensure free and fair election.
Clevite: I tell you, the greatest undoing of PDP is their penchant for presenting not wholly presentable candidates. If PDP had presented Akin Ogunbiyi, the rest would be history by now; Osun would have been in their hands since September 2018.
The same mistake they made by featuring Ganiyu Ola-oluwa, a person widely reputed for his academic and intellectual deficiencies against APC's Dr Ajibola Basiru, the former Attorney General, in the Osun Central Senatorial contest.
Bullseye! PDP passed over the best opportunity they have in recent times to shove off APC!!
Strange how Nigerians especially the SW prefer stomach infrastructure to real sector growth! Eating their tomorrow today!! How else can one explain Oyo State et al not voting Buhari en masse! And to think the rail linking Lagos to Ibadan shortly to be completed is bound to give Ibadan economy a quantum leap!!!
gistyinka: In 2011, Bukola Saraki retired his father, Olusola Saraki, from politics by backing Abdulfatah Ahmed against Gbemisola, his own younger sister, in the governorship race. Their father had been the godfather Kwara politics for decades and the popular saying was: “Anywhere Saraki goes, Kwara goes.”
After controversially installing Bukola, his first son, as governor in 2003, Saraki – who was senate leader in the second republic – wanted the younger sister as the next governor and pulled every trick in the book. He failed, Bukola had his way and the conclusion was that Kwara now had a new godfather.
Well, not for too long. Bukola’s reign lasted for exactly eight years. He will not be returning to the senate and, except his party,the PDP, wins the presidential election and he gets a key position, the senate president may be on his way to political oblivion.
The nation’s number three citizen was defeated in the Kwara central senatorial district race by Ibrahim Oloriegbe of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who polled 123,808 votes to defeat Saraki’s 68,994 – a margin of 54,814.
A former governor of Kwara state and two-time PDP presidential aspirant, Saraki’s defeat is the biggest news so far in the 2019 general election. Here are five possible factors that may have caused Saraki’s fall.
THE ‘O TO GE’ MOVEMENT
For some years now, Kwara residents have been under the leadership of the Saraki family, a culture many refer to as the ‘Saraki dynasty’. Saraki’s late father, Olusola, was known for installing governors. In 2003, his son took over from Mohammed Lawal as governor of the state, an office he held for two terms. From there, he proceeded to the senate form where he is said to have been calling the shots in Kwara.
But as time went by, the people were said to have been “fed up” of the influence from Saraki’s family and gradually, a popular movement known as ‘O to ge!’ began. Loosely translated as ‘enough is enough’, the movement – or revolt as you may wish to call it – was spearheaded by key political figures in Kwara including Abdulrahman AbdulRazak, APC governorship candidate in the state, with the help of prominent figures there such as Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture.
Time and again, Mohammed lamented about the “Saraki dynasty.” The minister once said: “The main issues here have to do with how our state has been governed in the past 50 years, 40 of which have been dominated by a single family. What has happened to the commonwealth, which has been cornered by a single dynasty at the expense of the people?”
Fun fact: With what we understands that some of the voters did not even know the name of Saraki’s main challenger; they were simply motivated by “O to ge”.
Another key factor that led to the ‘downfall’ of Saraki is the popularity of President Muhammadu Buhari. The president, it was gathered, is even more popular than Saraki in in most parts of the state.
Interestingly, as the results of the presidential election tickled in, figures showed Buhari was having a comfortable lead in Kwara against Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, despite Saraki being his (Abubakar) campaign director-general.
Apart from the fact of the dwindling influence of the Saraki family following the ‘O to ge’ movement, the presence of Lai Mohammed, the information minister, helped boost the president’s popularity. In fact, in the build-up of the elections, Kwara was one of the major states of interest for the president and of course, the minister acted as the president’s front as events played out.
SORE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PEOPLE
It is believed that Saraki’s not-so-good relationship with the people of Kwara robbed him of some votes in the senatorial election.
Some reTheCable claimed to TheCable claimed he does not have a good relationship with the people like his late father Olusola. “He is not free with his people like his father was,” a resident said when asked about the senate president. “People used to throng to their house when the father was alive but not anymore.”
OFFA ROBBERY
On April 5, 2018, armed robbers attacked banks in Offa, Kwara state, killing 33 people, including pregnant women and 12 police officers. It later emerged that some of the suspects had links to Saraki and the Kwara state government. This created a major PR disaster for Saraki as he became publicly involved in a spat with the police hierarchy.
The tragedy shook Offa to his very roots and apparently tarnished the image of Saraki in the state, and this might have contributed in no little to cutting down his influence and hurting his political fortune.
While addressing a press conference in Lagos earlier this year, Oloriegbe had accused Saraki’s family of not sharing in the “common heritage” of the people of the state. He also made it a point of duty to restore the state’s “lost values”.
The APC candidate had said: “In the past 16 years, our society has been in the grip of people who do not share our common values and heritage. They are dealers whose concerns are at variance with the people’s aspirations. They are leaders with (an) inordinate appetite for wealth acquisition. They are political voyagers and power merchants. They don’t share our Islamic values and culture of leadership.”
‘WRATH OF CIVIL SERVANTS’
A key factor that dealt a massive blow on Saraki’s ambition is the “poor welfare” of workers in Kwara state. Residents who spoke to TheCable complained the civil servants both at state and local government levels are usually not paid their salaries – and when they eventually get them, the salaries come in percentages.
“Sometimes, they pay workers as low as 30 percent,” a resident said, adding that workers have been abandoned over the years.
But Saraki is not the governor – so why direct their frustration at him? “Ask a typical Kwara man what his issue is and he may tell you Saraki has no paid us,” another resident told TheCabe. “It is true he is not the governor but he is the one calling the shots; so the people know if Saraki wants salaries paid, they will be paid.” Many believe that Kwara resources are still under his control.
escodotman: Ike Ekweremadu, the Peoples Democratic Party candidate and deputy senate president has been declared winner of Enugu West Senatorial District for the fifth time in Saturday Presidential/National Assembly elections. Ekweremadu polled 86,088 votes to defeat his closest rival, Mrs Juliet Ibekaku-Nwagwu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who scored 15,187 votes. The Returning Officer, Prof Douglas Nwagbo of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) announced the results in Awgu on Sunday. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that with the victory, Ekweremadu holds the senatorial mandate for the 5th time. Reacting to the development, the deputy senate president said he was humbled by the result because it was the first time a senator would be voted the fifth time in Nigeria. He applauded the Independent National Electoral Commission for the smooth and peaceful conduct of the elections. (NAN)
mabaz: APC already expected this. Osun state gubernatorial election showed that. The main thing is APC still won. You will not see such close margin in other SW states.
Beyond the fact that APC won in Osun State party faithful must learn to tell the truth to power. I’m cocksure APC members in Osun State know Aregbesola damaged the image of the party in the State. The current Governor is well educated, cultured and a team player. It is hoped that his performance- if he remains governor- will shore up the image of APC before the next cycle of elections otherwise the PDP will have the day!
Clevite: Osun people are still really angry against Aregbesola. To be candid, Aregbesola seriously damaged Osun people's psyche against APC. Osun was an undisputed stronghold of the APC. That was between 2011 and 2014. But Aregbesola overrated and overreached himself. He and his Tinubu cult of Lagos took the people for granted.
Talk of being full of oneself and arrogant?! He rode on a voyage of self-will, closing his ears against the people's cry. He disregarded the civil servants, serving and retired, thinking he had the the masses always in his pocket, regardless of the cries and protests of the working class.
The error of his judgement now stares him in the face and his Party is now suffering for it.
PDP would have taken over the State since September 2018, if they had presented a more acceptable gubernatorial candidate and if there were not too many opposition candidates dividing votes unnecessarily.
The only saving grace for the APC not to lose the State to opposition in the next four years is if the current Governor perform to the acceptance of the people. Any thing other than that, I see PDP taking over Osun State in the next four years.
The malady that afflicted PDP when it failed to present Akin Ogunbiyi its best candidate who looked set to defeat APC in the guber is unexplainable.
Donmedra: This was 2015 election result in the same osun state
APC :383,603
PDP:249,929
APC won with −133,674 margin
No thanks to Aregbesola the uncultured, crude and meddlesome pseudo-illiterate of a politician whose 8 years as Governor of Osun State was largely characterised by solo decisions that left the citizenry pauperised and the students walking long distances to access education very much unlike all that Chief Obafemi Awolowo stood for!
Thought APC said PDP was dead in Osun State! No thanks to Aregbesola the pseudo-illiterate former Governor whose voice is the only audio his ears love to hear!
olisaemeka1: young man don't get on my nerves ...I can see you modified this earlier post just to justify your ignorance ....If we talk of profiling then you would be profiled as vindictive and someone who does not take corrections .....
Simple question ....have you seen the car in question and made your clarifications on a first hand basis ....if no then shut your trap.....how can you judge an engine from an exhaust pipe that is already further darkened from the shadow of the car in the pix....I have said b4 I do not know the moniker n I do not support people been ripped off ....but don't come here making assumption's with out facts ....that said allow the seller sell his car in peace .
Your presumptuous and abusive tendencies are legendary. Decent minds don’t use abusive and foul language on others.You appear incapable of decent conversation even where you disagree with the other person! I will not forget to remind you to make responsible posts especially given that the internet never forgets! Folks following up on our conversation can reasonably profile your persona by now! So long my friend!!
Whoever did this just postponed the evil day. Now, the polls will be rescheduled to another day when attention will be focused on the place and soldiers bullets will home in on the ballot box snatchers who having discovered rigging impossible became rabid!
Oga, na this your plenty grammar dey tire me. This should be my 4th post on the thread, and never ever insulted you.
If you noticed something about the car, say it in plain terms. The so-called exhaust isn’t even clear in the image sent, and sincerely didn’t notice anything a ‘professional’ like you would have noticed.
For instance: If a red exhaust connotes a damaged ejector system - say it in plain terms rather than forming one Mr. Perfect or Mr. Know-it-all or Mr. Grammar.
For me, I am just an end user that wants to sell off an old car that served me well for 3 years to the best bidder.
As best as I know, and for long that I have used it, I’ve never had engine or exhaust issues - those that have bothered to call have been intimated on the minor issues that needs to be fixed (basic body work and servicing the legs, fan belt etc).
So you don't come on a thread and make vague comments. Be precise with your narratives...if factual, you could also be enlightening the seller too... Which isn't a bad thing. We all learn every day.
You also need to learn how to construct your sentences... Using verbose terms and complicated arrangement/choice of words doesn't make you the best spoken person, you only make yourself the worst communicating member of the discussion.
Keep it plain and simple...that always wins... Go ask those writing IELTS.
olisaemeka1: I hope you know I'm not in any way related to the moniker advertising .....but you don't just come and degrade a pdt because of pictures online with out seeing it first hand ..you won't want same done to you ....it's very negative bro
Nope! Am not being negative!! Friend, I merely raised a poser about the exhaust of the advertised car whereupon the op and his storm trooper launched a blitzkrieg at me! They abused me to no end!! If an advertiser does not want posers raised about the advertised item that falls far short of advertising best practices and itself raises a red flag! Africans have not come far enough largely because we are unduly sentimental about things. A mere objective poser about an advertised item without more does not amounts to demarketing. There is nothing personal about this.
