Mogidi:
What did Buhari do in the energy sector that saw improvement in electricity?

You guessed it>Nothing.

How can someone take credit for doing nothing?

Very soon, they will say Buhari brought the trains back. By now, you should know their existence is based on lies. Buhari has not done a single thing since getting into office other than to travel around and drink champagne at events.

MyMouth:

Between you and ffk, who the legislators go listen to? Tomorrow shall tell!

Don't get it twisted, these people at the top visit sites like this for opinions and ideas. My rep does and his successor is doing same.

seunmsg:
Dogara and his group should please shot the fvck and respect the decision of majority of the APC representative elect. Two people can't be speaker at the same time. Since the party have chosen a candidate and he his not the one, he should quietly respect the party decision and withdraw from the race. The overall interest of the party should supersede all personal ambitions.

The APC should allow Dogara and Gbajabiamila test their popularity in an open contest, let's see who is more popular and acceptable to the reps. It is called the Nigerian House of reps not the APC House of reps. copy?

Opinedecandid:
Are you just realising this?

Bigger Shame.

They should allow a free and fair election, that's all.

The Yakubu Dogara group in the House of Representatives has released yet another statement condemning the leadership of the All Progressives Congress.

In a statement by the group signed by Abdulmumin Jibrin,it lamented that “The APC leadership keeps telling the public that an election was conducted and Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila got 154 votes while Hon. Yakubu Dogara got 3 votes; this is a blatant lie and fraud, and it’s shameful for the APC leaders to descend so low.

“The mock election actually showed that APC has made a mockery of itself because we walked out of the venue even before they perpetrated the illegality. Hon. Dogara was not in the hall as at the time they said he was nominated but the APC leaders planted someone who impersonated one of us and another person was also planted and he accepted the nomination. This is fraudulent, shameful and dishonest. It was all arranged and done by APC leaders.

“We never participated and we rejected the election because it was not in tandem with the spirit and letters of the constitution. The numbers allocated to us was a fraud, and we do not accept it.

“The stability of the House is very important and the House needs to be left alone to elect its speaker. We will never allow the number four citizen of this country to be pocketed by one selfish and greedy individual.

“We want a courageous speaker who is free from the apron strings of a godfather and not one that will create special bedroom in the pocket of an individual.

“After such huge intimidation, blackmail and inducement we are not surprised that they gave out such a number. On Tuesday, the real picture of the strength of our candidate – Hon. Yakubu Dogara – will emerge.

“We are shocked and surprised that barely two weeks after taking over as the ruling party, is this the change we want to offer to Nigerians? Is this the departure from the past that Nigerians want? We have never seen this kind of manipulation in the political history of Nigeria. We are being intimidated and threatened because we toe the path of honour.

“We decided to follow our conscience and do the right thing for our country and we will not let this country down.
Despite the mockery of an election by the APC we are going ahead on the 9th June 2015 to nominate Hon. Yakubu Dogara on the floor of the House as Speaker.
They don’t understand the dynamics of an election of House leadership; this is the House of the Nigerian people, we are going ahead to nominate our aspirant who has what it takes to lead us. Dogara is stainless, and he comes with integrity similar to that of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Due to the huge amount of threat and intimidation to some of us, we have decided to write a petition to the President of the Federal Republic to intervene and call the party leaders to order. We are very confident that the President will look at the matter in a very just manner.

“We are also going unveil our legislative agenda today by 8pm.”

PassingShot:

What difference would it have made?

Will it have changed the fact that he was approached with an offer?

Will it have changed the fact that he "defected" because of the offer?



Fyi, I DON'T KNOW A SINGLE NAIRALANDER OFFLINE. I DON"T EVEN RESIDE IN NIGERIA.

Liar liar, pants on fire. No nairalander lives in Nigeria. The young man followed his conscience, so will you guys allow him be.

PassingShot:
What can you say about the attached conversation between you and another Nairalander here; where you confessed to have been offered a position of Special Assistant to a minister by PDP?

And it was after that offer that you switched to PDP in anticipation of a PDP win which NEVER happened. That disappointment and failure is what gave birth to your campaign of calumny and hatred! So, shove your pathetic life in your anus.

Look boy, it's your life and you're free to live it as you desire BUT don't come here with a posture of a patriotic citizen. For all I care (and many more), you're a typical Nigerian politician who stands for NOTHING and will fall for ANYTHING.

Not all of us are blind. You blackmailer forgot to hide the last line of the chat where he said 'he would have accepted the offer if it was Buhari'.
Now I fully believe you guys are out to tarnish his image.

We sympathise with the people of Borno. Where is our president sef? Oh, he is far away in Germany quaffing champagne. What an insensitive president. Does he even have human feelings at all?

barcanista:
The patriotic firefire. The great defender of democratic process and opponent of imposition. I loyal Sir


Trust me he won't default. You know APC has officially labelled him a rebel. PDP is his hope of continuous survival in the House.

APC southwest, you mean.

Mogidi:


Why won't secret ballot help them considering the party's hierarchy won't know who they voted for?

If you were an APC senator backing Saraki, would you prefer an open ballot or a secret ballot?

Secret ballot, straight . Anonymous voting is the best.

barcanista:
My brother, they have no choice but to support anti-APC candidates. If you recall, APC wrecked a heavy blow on PDP through Tambawal's emergence as Speaker against PDP's Mulikat. That single act wrecked PDP's political calculation

The dynamics changed, voting Dogara won't make much of a difference but the game PDP plays after voting him is what matters. Buhari will definitely prefer a Dogara to a Gbajabiamila. You also need to remember Dogara was part of the G37 that decamped to APC, so the question is can he be trusted? Voting Dogara is just about 5% of the work that needs to be done, it is not the master stroke.

Mogidi:

Secret ballot would help the opposition more, that was why APC hierarchy decided to conduct their mock election using open ballot. Check @saraki's timeline and you'd see what I mean.

Secret ballot won't benefit them in the main election. What the PDP should kick against is the use of electronic voting. History is being replayed here, the PDP has more to lose, many people won't understand this.

barcanista:
Any PDP NASS member, especially those from the SS, SE and Ekiti states that vote against Saraki and Dogara in favor of APC's anointed shall be treated as "enemy" within. We inturn won't support such person(s) when the "time comes". I shall keep record of the voting. I hope that they don't want to be given another Amaechi/Dakuku treatment.

Fayose have suffered a lot, Ekiti people have suffered, the SS, SE, Tarabans etc have been insulted a lot for standing with PDP of which those members benefited from. They can't afford to sell out

I am hoping they see reason with the knowledgeable ones amongst them. The election will probably be secret ballot and it won't be electronic, so there's a possibility some will sell out.

Some of PDP NASS members are just too greedy, all they care about is the money which Tinubu and his minions will gladly give to them. Unless the PDP finds a way of making these people see the bigger picture, the Anini of Bourdillon will have his way.

barcanista:
Come cry on my shoulder baby...lemme wipe your tears with my lips.. These issues aren't disappearing anythime soon

Ashawo, na im you be lol

barcanista:
Should PDP queue up behind Dogara and he emerges Speaker, it means PDP will have the Deputy slot and will defacto call the shots in the House, just as APC called the shots in the 7th House. This will weaken the APC and also a precursor for 2019.

La barca, it's much more difficult than that. It is not over until it is over

onatisi:
This is a mock election among apc members only to see who apc members like to present for the speaker ship position. The house hasn't even been sworn in so don't get too excited .

Leave him, let him blab. Dogara's guys are not joking o. The word in their camp is Tinubu would be put to shame.

APC just selected its speaker, Nigeria's House of Representatives' speaker would be elected on Tuesday, until then we dey laugh o

Rilwon:
Where is bayswater

He is here. Fayose is just being graceful, Daura President's hands were tied.

Fashola will definitely get a high profile appointment in this administration, if buhari should do otherwise; he will regret it.

Mynd44:

I don't relate with Homophobes, religious bigots, tribalists, sexists, rapists and other forms of annoying people.

I consider them scum of the earth and so I don't get infected by them, I stay away.
Please understand, it is not you, it is me

And what are you? Are you in anyway better than those things you listed above? Abeg shift jare or better still declare yourself missing.

Why will Boko Haram not have a field day when our president and the vice president are on excursion. Useless duo

OkutaNla:


Bro, election don end o. This kind thing for relevant during campaign, but right now it is at best circumstantial. Come on, really... You can do better than this.

The moral of the story here is Buhari does not have any integrity. He is a barefaced liar. That man has corruptly enriched himself and his family over the years.

;DBaba does not have answer to these problems. The best he will do is to ask Oshinbade. One Chance kaabo, se daada lo de

PassingShot:
Hmmm. But he was meant to leave in the afternoon today nah.

Anyway, dear president, please do quick and sell off some of the 10 presidential jets we have now. We cannot afford to maintain all of them

I pray your hopes won't be dashed. Nobody wants buhari to fail but his body language exhibits failure.

This is an old pic, son of anger, may thunder fire you there if you have a bad motive for posting this old pic.

HungerBAD:


When your mates got admission to the university, you said you preferred to attend the poly. Now see you? When did the observers like us on nairaland equal threat?

Go back to school.

That's what your likes do.
Pardon my hate statement against Buhari. Odenson lol

HungerBAD:


barcanista, the OBSERVERS are watching you.

Are you trying to threaten him subtly?

That is Adeola of Sahara Reporters. The other guy in the video is Omoyele Sowore, the owner of the news site.
