OBJ has failed Nigerians in so many ways.He should stop using his baby (EFCC) to hound his enemies.OBJ should remove the log in his eye before trying to remove the spec in some else's.

Do u mean national thief or any thief

All is a cooked beans by PDP to distract Tinubu for this upcoming election- I'm not saying Tinubu is innocent.
Since he was not funded by Govt then, I think there is an excape route. He shld defend himself with d diff ways he solicited for funds without the help of FG.
PDP is too desperate for Lagos.

If there is any case against Tinubu the EFCC should act promptly,All these are insinuations.Today he has this tomorrow he has that cannot lead us anywhere.

He who cannot perform his conjugal dutiy na OBJ cause am. Did OBJ asked this pretender, the hater of democracy called Tinubu to maintain sixteen foreign Bank accounts? As usual with Lagos people after sserving his jail term, they will organise another owambe party for him. Lagos for criminal show.

Re: Tinubu Had 16 Foreign Accounts While In Office? by Demdem(m): 2:58pm On Feb 28, 2011
Oju yobo's response

THE Presidency yesterday described as “totally false, malicious and repugnant”, a report that President Goodluck Jonathan has voted N2.9 billion in order to capture the votes of the South-West geo-political zone.
The report is a “product of the mischief-driven imagination of its authors,” according to the Presidency, which stressed that on the contrary, Jonathan has been on a tour of all the states and the six geo-political zones to meet the people and sell his “agenda of transformation” to them.
President Jonathan “urges all political parties and interest groups to put the unity and well-being of the nation above sectional, group or individual interests and avoid doing irreparable damage to hallowed national institutions through falsehood and political skullduggery.”
Defence Minister, Adetokunbo Kayode, spoke in the same vein, describing as “wicked, untrue and totally baseless,” allegations that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has earmarked N2.9 billion “to capture” the South-West political zone in the coming elections.
“Such insinuations can only come from perverted minds.”
Speaking in Akure, the Ondo State capital yesterday where he came to prepare the grounds for the PDP presidential campaign scheduled to hold on Wednesday, the former Labour and Justice minister said the allegations were merely campaign of calumny against the ruling party by those who knew that the party was going to win in the zone.
The Presidency’s statement, signed by Presidential Spokesman, Ima Niboro, said Jonathan has shown “by word and action” that he is committed to free, fair and credible elections and that he is convinced that the meet-the-voter-campaign tours is working, going by the “tumultuous crowds” that have attended the rallies “and the increasing endorsements of the ticket by other political parties, royal fathers and interest groups.”
On its part, the Edo State government has denied a news report (not in The Guardian) yesterday with a headline, “Power show: Jonathan locks Oshiomhole out of Benin,” saying “the Governor was not locked out of the state as the story tried to portray.”
A statement by Peter Okhiria, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Adams Oshiomhole, added: “The issue of VIP movement is an age-long routine and it was clearly not target at the person of Governor Adams Oshiomhole. The incident was a normal security routine and we cannot query the judgment of the security agencies charged with the responsibility.”
In the meantime, the Alliance for Democracy (AD) rose from its National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting at the weekend with a resolution to support the presidential aspiration of Jonathan and his deputy, Namadi Sambo.
The AD’s National Chairman, Senator Mojisoluwa Akinfenwa, while addressing the meeting in Abuja said that unlike some politicians, Jonathan had remained a symbol of humility, and transparent leadership.
According to him, while it is a fact that Nigeria’s political landscape is populated by ‘bad opportunistic wealth-seeking political adventurists,’ whose primary purpose is seeking public office for wealth and family aggrandisement, the life of Jonathan has been that of humility.
He added: “We in the resurgent AD are proud to be identified as followers of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo and respecters of his legacies. If Awolowo were to be alive today, not as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he would have no hesitation endorsing the Jonathan/Sambo ticket because of all founding fathers of our nation, he was the only one who identified and promoted the cause of the nation’s ethnic minorities for a fair and equitable deal within the Nigerian polity.
“The Jonathan/Sambo ticket is seen as a fulfilment of this age-long vision and a fulfilment of the struggle and we as Awoists disciples, see it as crowning jewel on Awolowo’s earliest crusades.  
Thus in supporting the Jonathan ticket, we are not just supporting the man Jonathan, we are supporting a cause, a cause to which Awolowo devoted most of his political life; a cause that is now symbolised by the candidature of President Goodluck Jonathan.”
And, a former governor of Lagos State and national leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Bola Tinubu, has “wished the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its media allies well in their campaign by demonisation.”
But he warned that only solid and clear-cut programmes, not demonising political opponents by purveying falsehood, win elections.
[b]A statement by Olakunle Abimbola, his Chief Press Secretary, quoted Tinubu as saying: “If the PDP and its media allies feel the demonisation of Bola Tinubu would save them from the electoral hiding to come from the South-West and other parts of the country, they are entitled to their costly delusions.”
Reacting to a newspaper story (not in The Guardian) at the weekend, which claimed that the Federal Government was filing a charge against him for alleged breach of code of conduct when he was governor, Tinubu said the authorities were free to press charges if they had any proof.
But he warned that “if all the noise was still on the so-called foreign accounts, then the government was embarking on a 12-year blind alley, at the end of which they would have found it a waste of time.”
“I have said it before and I will say it again: if they have any evidence, let them go ahead and prosecute.  The so-called case is an object of cheap blackmail, from which nothing would come.  In any case, let us meet in court, if they have any case,” Tinubu stated.
He stressed that the alleged sale of some five houses in the United States, purportedly belonging to him, “added new comic to the blackmail and demonisation game.
“For 12 years, they have bandied around allegations about the so-called foreign accounts, with absolutely no shred of evidence.  Now, they are adding comical sales of non-existent houses.  It is election time, of course!” he remarked.
Tinubu said: “The PDP should keep on distracting themselves with these old wives’ tales,” adding: “By the time they are buried without trace after the April election, they would wake up to find it is too late.”[/b]

What kind of i.diots and and lu.natics  people do we have in government? Even this post sef is supremely re.tarded. These clowns have been peddling the same rubbish for 12 years, but they are yet to take their accusations and evidence to the court of law, all these fools do is talk rubbish and play their sick and twisted, dumb, and silly political games like little kids.

This is a sad reflection of everything that's wrong with that country because even if he did they are peddling all over the place for 12 years, do you really need 12 years to dig up proof than one man did what you've been alleging?

How long have the man been daring them to take their case to court if they have anything against him?

What a group of shallow, incompetent and bumbling idiots. They shouldn't be running a kindergarten school, talk less a country.

Well, let me inform you all that the most powerful president Nigeria has ever had is Obj. with all this federal power and might he could not do Tinubu anything! How much less when is no longer in power.Obj and his evil team will only keep trying.Come to think of it, not that Tinubu is that powerful, is just popular with the people and the people has seen what his team can bring to table when it comes to people oriented programs. let me also remind the house that the Man Tinubu was the only past governor who was invited by the most vibrant EFCC led by Ribadu him self and not been detained.If they think they can dig up something now because Tinubu is on the verge of installing a generational change in the federal government, i don't only wish them good luck, i wish them good time.A-N-U-O-F-I-A smiley

Democracy dividends CANNOT be obtained through ACN - Autocrats Congress of Nigeria- old men imposing their wives, kids, in-laws, relations and maybe even househelps on their party members.      
Progress CANNOT come from ACN- Alliance for Corruption in Nigeria with Tinubu as their leader and Achike Udenwa as frontliner.      
Shine your eyes, identify, scrutinise, select and mobilise support for your national and state assembly legislator candidates on individual merit basis NOT on party basis.

[size=14pt]Fellow Nairalanders,

I think it is time we start telling ourselves the truth. The above post is true and nothing but the truth. Tinubu is a man I respect alot and he his a man of courage and highly intelligent. At point in time in his political journey, he missed it. Power is really intusticating him now. We all know how he has been making governance difficult for Fashola via "Ikuforiji and True face of Lagos". I am not a politician but I am abrest of what is going on around me politically and otherwise.

I have never seen a winning team changed. Why on earth will the party leaders opted for Adefulure to deputize BRF instead of the popular demand Mrs Sarah Sosan? We all know that due to the popularity of BRF, Tinubu could not subtitute him. We all heard about the level of imposition that welcomed the ACN primaries both at the state and federal house of assemblies.

Something is going on for your information, Lagosians are planing to surprise Tinubu, by VOTING for BRF as the Governor and other credible leaders under the platform of other parties apart from ACN. Can the supporter of Tinubu kindly explain us the polical antecedent of Remi Tinubu which qualifies her as the Senatorial flag bearer of ACN in the Lagos Central District? We all know he owns LCC and the anti-developmental project of Lekki-Epe Toll gate. 3 tolls in less than 15km. Lagosians are not daft.

I am not against his person but I am against his power drunken attitude? Why on earth should BRF Governor of Lagos State, will not have the power to choose his commissioners? Tinubu said so last week that BFF does not have anything to do with the appointment of Commissioners.
Do you still want Lagosian to sit down and look at the way and manner Tinubu has been robbing us blind? One thing is sure, we electorate are gradually wrestling our right from the dictators like Tinubu, who at the April pool, does not have more than one vote.

Time will surely tell, Tinubu will be disgraced. Mark my words.

You can call me names but this is a gospel truth.

Additional truths - Adedibu's son, Bukola and Gbemi Saraki, Iyabo Obasanjo, Akinjide's daughter, Yaradua's nephew
All in PDP

Yes by all means frown at Tinubu's nepotism, but if you are going to start telling us the truth, make it whole
Partial truth is deceit
PDP is not better.


If you want to vote for others, go ahead but make sure the people don't decamp to PDP
Gov Orji of Abia left PPA for APGA then PDP
Ogun State people "dealt with" Osoba and voted for Daniel. Now they cannot seem to get out of the lesson they are learning from PDP - both Obj and Daniel
And Akala? The less said, the better
