WOW . . . . is this the change we were promised? |

^^^^ apparently yes! |

And they say Sanusi is lying . . . . . . . . Legislooters! The only obstacle towards a free and fair election in 2011 is Jonathan. With his ambition of do-or-die as his father OBJ, we will see more automatic tickets in the coming days. Lord be our saviour |

jabbok: What concerns Jonathan with the Reps passing the bill? Are u responding to the post or u are responding to what is disturbing your mind about the chances of your other fake friend's 'consensus' candidate in PDP. Concentrate abeg. |
Re: Reps Pass Bill To Make Lawmakers Automatic Party Nec Members by Gbawe: 10:27am On Dec 09, 2010 |
jabbok: I sense that no matter what desperate Jonathan does he will be defeated. This is the plan hatched by Nwodo and the Reps to give GEJ an advantage after Jonathan's failed in his crude attempt to amend the electoral bill to allow his appointees become delegates. Of course the reps and senators in Nigeria , without doubt, are the worst in the World. They are some of the best paid worldwide yet easily the most indolent. Laws and bills that can accelerate the development of Nigeria are never passed by these thieves masquerading as lawmakers. In Jonathan they have the perfect hostage i.e a desperate President who will allow them do as they want so long as he gets the PDP ticket and ultimately the keys to Aso Rock in 2011. This is pretty much what obtains everywhere else and with everyone i.e virtually all self-serving leaders are wringing one payday or another out of GEJ. Case in point OGD and the Ogun State impeachment debacle. When the fireworks begin (and it surely will) I hope we will all remember to blame Jonathan and his selfish ambition that is now proving very costly to achieve with all the terrible precedence being set everywhere and the crude inducement/pacification of misrulers and self-serving leaders. I have always said that Jonathan's ambition is very dangerous for Nigeria. We are all seeing how desperation has blinded GEJ to decency and what Nigeria really needs. |

mogentle: My friend, Nwodo came up with this idea. Search Nigerian newsources. Does it make sense and is it priority for reps , at this point, to insist on being automatic NEC members if a certain desperate candidate does not require their services perhaps to neutralise the influence of the Governors (as Nwodo put it) ? |
Re: Reps Pass Bill To Make Lawmakers Automatic Party Nec Members by Nobody: 10:40am On Dec 09, 2010 |
mogentle:Don't show how naive u r by taking this recent NASS action as an unconnected event. We know who is giving them the impetus to come back en-mass come 2011. If Jonathan wants to be president at all cost, how can it be a crime for the legislators to do the same? The equilibrium has shifted, and this election will surely make or mar Naija. |
Re: Reps Pass Bill To Make Lawmakers Automatic Party Nec Members by Gbawe: 11:02am On Dec 09, 2010 |
jabbok: Indeed. That is why I said we must remember to blame GEJ when there is a strong and , maybe , even violent reaction to his incessant attempt to occupy Aso Rock by force in 2011. This is the same guy who confessed that he was not chosen to be VP because of his political sagacity. He stated that others are far better than him. The system believes this too and this is why Jonathan does not have natural support. Nobody genuinely believes his political ability is above that of others. He then only has our money , to be used as bribe, as his most potent tool. His attempt to bribe his way to the Presidency next year will surely be resisted . We will not have another "Shagari" in power , just to please some selfish enemies of Nigeria's progress, when others who are far more competent and deserving than GEJ abound. http://saharareporters.com/news-page/wikileaks-cable-nigeria-i-lack-administrative-experience-jonathan-tells-us-ambassador The most revealing part of the cable was the point where Jonathan confessed to his ineptitude, “I was not chosen to be Vice President because I had good political experience,” he said. “I did not. There were a lot more qualified people around to be Vice President, but that does not mean I am not my own man.” Further, he said, “not a politician” and had very limited experience as an administrator". |

^^^^^^^^ I' M TIRED OF PDP, pls VOTE THEM OOOOOOUUUUTTTTTTT.!!!!! |
Re: Reps Pass Bill To Make Lawmakers Automatic Party Nec Members by excanny: 12:02pm On Dec 09, 2010 |
I wonder the kind of law makers we have in Nigeria. Anyway, there's a 0.000000001% possibility to find a honorable member of the PDP. I can not still fathom why these people would still go ahead to pass this bill after there was a resounding NO by members of the public at the public hearing organised by this same NASS. I know that Jonathan who can stop this madness would be happy with the recent development. The only hope we have now is stopping these self-serving legislators is through the courts. I hope that the likes of Olisa Agbakoba, a champion of the masses, will take the NASS to the cleaners at the courts like he's always done recently. I wonder what Nigeria did to be punished with these sets of people in government. |

Awon Ole. As if they don't get enough money already. [img]http://www.punchng.com/admin/pictures/leisure/PunchAdmin01_EDITORIAL%20CARTOON%20%20DEC.%209,%202010.jpg[/img] |

It would be in Nigeria's best interest if we worked to loose as many of these deadweights we can come next election. |
Re: Reps Pass Bill To Make Lawmakers Automatic Party Nec Members by desgiezd(m): 6:19pm On Dec 09, 2010 |
excanny: They would have bothered had we voted them into office but since our votes didnt count to them, why then should they bother themselves about our feelings. |
Re: Reps Pass Bill To Make Lawmakers Automatic Party Nec Members by jamace(m): 6:27pm On Dec 09, 2010 |
Did they not say, the bill was going to be put to public debate, to hear from Nigerians before anything else or am I missing something here? |
Re: Reps Pass Bill To Make Lawmakers Automatic Party Nec Members by tolu001: 7:11pm On Dec 09, 2010 |
hmm. . . this GEJ and his desperate attempt to hook onto power by all means is not a good omen for nigeria. I guess this is their way of reciprocating his "kind gestures" after they have been given automatic return ticket (i wonder what happens to democracy where they power lies with the people). GEJ is just a toy in the hands of his handlers, he is totally clueless |
Re: Reps Pass Bill To Make Lawmakers Automatic Party Nec Members by Nobody: 7:31pm On Dec 09, 2010 |
You guys will know how connected this is to Jonathan when he signs the bill into law. If there is any one time the President's veto power is helpful; this is the moment. If Jonathan signs this bill into law, then he is clearly the brainchild of the bill. But at the end of the day, this is a waste of time. This bill will be challenged and defeated in court. Just like it is the prerogative of Political parties to choose for themselves who their flagbearer will be, it is also the prerogative of the parties to choose their NEC members. You can not legislate who the leaders of a political party should be given that the party itself is a congregation of free people who have chosen to associate freely given their fundamental human rights of freedom of association as enshrined in the constitution. Where is the freedom of association? where is the freedom of choice? where is the democracy? when the NASS want to legislate on who can and can not be an NEC member of a political party?. This bill is an excersize in futility and one of the Political parties should immediately challenge the bill in court and also immediately obtain an order of mandamus compelling the NASS to abstain from interfering in the private affairs of Political parties as that is the position of the law. |

mikeansy:why not hit the nail on jonathan's head ? This is a useless bill.if i may ask,why passing such into law when the national assembly members are not made of pdp members only ? Is the law binding on AC,and other oppositions members ? Mschew |
Re: Reps Pass Bill To Make Lawmakers Automatic Party Nec Members by excanny: 8:40pm On Dec 09, 2010 |
Just to give the house a review of what went down at the public hearing on this bill organized by the NASS. jamace: Members of the public and www.thewillnigeria.com/politics/6724-NEC-Membership-Stakeholders-Boo-NASS-Critics-Are-Ignorant---Mark.html |
Re: Reps Pass Bill To Make Lawmakers Automatic Party Nec Members by excanny: 8:49pm On Dec 09, 2010 |
^^^ It seemed the public hearing was a charade after all, since the NASS still went ahead to pass the controversial bill. With the likes of Mark, it appears Nigeria has a long, long way to go as a country. |
Re: Reps Pass Bill To Make Lawmakers Automatic Party Nec Members by Canisma(m): 9:06pm On Dec 09, 2010 |
I ve always luvd my gej, and as a federal public servant, i owe him my support for his goodies. But then, the truth must be told. He has not done enough to prove his accusers wrong- they say he is weak. Signing this bill will confirm that, pointblank. I just hope he does'nt. The fact is this, GEJ is the best candidate so far but he is running under the worst party so far too. PDP is a mess we all have to live with. Now they have stolen the ddc machine. Who will save us from them. Nigerian politics is as exciting as seasonal movies and IM LUVIN IT. |
