All accredited voters of 818,215 voted only for Buhari and Atiku

Sowore and his family members voted for Atiku or Buhari
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nationwide,All accredited voters, voted for only Atiku and Buhari

Atiku is too desperate to be the president of Nigeria.

What a shame!

The most sensible reply on this thread. These pdp mofos has turned nairaland to dumpsite, simple computation is difficult for them to do. 33 states have no rejected votes and votes for other candidates except for buhari and atiku which can never be possible. The accredited votes equals the votes of buhari plus ➕ that of atiku Wonder shall never end

With the comments I read so far it clearly shows that kids have taken over nairaland and they refuse to use their brains effectively. No where trader moni or market moni agents put on any thing that has political party logo on it, they put on trader moni vest, they are BOI staff and bith the trader moni and market moni beneficiaries data were taken electronically not by the one you prepared to tarnish the VPs image. Don't let hatred turn you people to dunce. Its election and not war for heaven sake. I pitty your offsprings

President Muhammadu Buhari has rejected the National Assembly’s approval for refund of N488.7 billion to State Governments for projects they executed on behalf of the FEC

Buhari communicated the decision through a letter read by the President of the Senate, Sen. Bukola Saraki, at plenary on Tuesday.


The president said he rejected the National Assembly’s approval because it violated the provisions of the Public Procurement Act, 2007.

He noted that whereas the Federal Executive Council (FEC) approved a total of N487.8 billion for the purpose, the National Assembly jerked up the figure to N488.7 billion.

He said the amount approved by the lawmakers was N890 million higher than that approved by FEC.

Buhari said a review of the NASS’ approval, communicated through a July 27, 2018 letter, also revealed discrepancies in the number of states submitted by FEC and those approved by the lawmakers.

He said, “While FEC approved reimbursement to 25 states, the National Assembly approved reimbursement to 21 states.


“The National Assembly did not approve any reimbursement to four states, that is, Bauchi, Delta, Kogi and Taraba, whereas FEC approved reimbursement for them.

“Note that the amount approved by the National Assembly for reimbursement to 21 states is higher than the amount approved by FEC for reimbursement to 25 states.”

The president added that the amount approved by the lawmakers for each of the 21 states was higher than that approved by FEC for each of them, except for Adamawa, Jigawa, Kano and Niger.

He urged the Senate to note that the Public Procurement Act 2007 empowers the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) to approve vendors for contract sums.

According to him, the amounts presented to the national assembly for approval were duly certified for reimbursement by the BPP before they were approved by FEC.

Buhari said this was after the projects had been inspected through a programme under the chairmanship of the Minister of Power, Works and Housing.

The president noted that there was the need for compliance with the Public Procurement Act, 2007.

“I wish to request that you forward to us details relating to the amounts approved by the National Assembly for the 17 states in excess of what was certified by BPP, for necessary verification and approval.

“Furthermore, I wish to request for a review of the reimbursement earlier submitted in favour of Bauchi, Delta, Kogi and Taraba states,” the president said.

In the meantime, Buhari has told the lawmakers that the federal government will proceed with the implementation of the reimbursement on certain grounds.

First, he said where the amount approved by the national assembly is the same as the amount approved by FEC the jointly approved amounts would be refunded.

He identified the states in this category as Adamawa, Jigawa, Kano and Niger.

Second, the president said where the amount approved by the National Assembly was higher than the amount approved by FEC, the amount approved by FEC would be paid.

The benefiting states on this are Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Ebonyi, Benue, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Gombe, Imo, Kwara, Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Osun, Oyo, Plateau and Zamfara.

He said the four states (Bauchi, Delta, Kogi and Taraba) excluded in the NASS approval would not be refunded until their consideration by the lawmakers.

In style indeed

Abudu Balogun represented Ijebu North/Ijebu East/Ogun Waterside Federal Constituency at the Green Chamber between 2011 and 2015, on the platform of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) which later merged with other parties to form the All Progressives Congress (APC). He speaks on the crisis rocking the Ogun State chapter of APC.

What is responsible for the current crisis in the APC in Ogun State?
Well, crisis is a very large word to use. I will say that there is a disagreement within the party. In politics we disagree to agree. What led to this disagreement? For me, I will not blame any other person than my governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, and what he did is also universal with most governors presently serving in the country. Until we are able to take the hands of the governors off party administration in the country, we will continue to have these problems. I think it is an aberration that the governors are called the leaders of the party in their states. I believe that governors, just like other office holders, should face their duties, rather than getting involved in party administration.

Party administration, should be left with the party administrators as it was done in the days of the late sage, Chief Obafemi Awolowo. The disagreement was caused by the high-handedness of some of our governors, particularly my own governor. A lot of people are looking at it from the last primaries, but I will take it from the congresses.

How do you mean?
Don’t forget that we had crisis in the party in 2014 which made some of us to leave
the party with our leader, Chief Olusegun Osoba. By 2015, our leaders in Yoruba land, Senator Bola Tinubu, Chief Bisi Akande and all the governors in the South West reconciled all that were aggrieved and urged us to move on. It was based on the reconciliation that everybody returned to the party and as a follow up to that, we also held a meeting with Amosun. When we say we, I meant members of the 7th Assembly caucus, all the Senators and members of the House of Representatives. We met with him to tell him that there was no crisis and that we don’t want any more crisis in Ogun State.

At the reconciliation meeting which was widely reported in the media, the governor reminded us that we have had crisis and that he does not want us to have further crisis again in the forthcoming primaries and elections. He said he was interested in the governorship slot and that he was looking at the Yewa-Awori zone of the state to produce the person that will succeed him and solicited our cooperation in this regards.

We were 12 or 15 at the meeting and he insisted that the governorship slot is his only interest. He told us that he would not get involved in other political offices, saying it was our local arrangements. The governor said he knew that some people from Ogun East are eyeing the governorship seat, that he would appeal to them to see reason why they should support Yewa Agenda. But on the day of the congresses, he came with a prepared list for party positions and we were just told to vote and affirm and since we had made up our minds that we don’t want crisis again within the party in the state, we just allowed the sleeping dog to lie.

For the party primaries, Mr. Governor wrote 40 names for all the 40 offices in a state that is as sophisticated as Ogun State, and called it consensus arrangement. Who reached the consensus? Where was it reached? I don’t know because I was an aspirant for House of Representatives for Ijebu North, Ijebu East and Ogun Waterside Federal Constituency. Nobody reached any consensus with me. We are about three or four in my constituency and what I heard next was that the governor has picked somebody. I rejected the move and said all aspirants should be allowed to go to the field and contest for the position. The governor, as far as I’m concerned is the cause of the crisis arising from the primaries. He wrote 40 names and did not carry anybody along and failed to consult anyone, even the leader of the party in the state, at least the national leader, Chief Olusegun Osoba, was not consulted. If Mr. Governor is the leader of the party in the state, by APC arrangement we have a national leader in the state. How would my governor be promoting candidates’ names without the courtesy of going to meet Osoba, to reconcile with him as regards the primaries? He never did that. He was all alone nominating people for 40 elective positions. Where is that done in a political party? All other aspirants feel that the governor was trying to short-change them, more so that we have agreed at our stakeholders meeting as directed by the national leadership of the party that we should go for direct primaries.

We are all prepared based on the resolu ion that we are going to have direct primaries and on that basis aspirants purchased their forms from Abuja to participate in the primaries. The next thing the governor did was to announce that he had adopted 40 names for elective positions that was the genesis of the crisis.

The governor has insisted that there was no primary election, except the one which produced Abdulkabir Adekunle Akinlade, saying the primary which produced Dapo Abiodun was a sham; what do you have to say to this?
There were two sets of primaries don’t forget; there were governorship and legislative primaries. The governorship is the main thing the governor is fighting about, saying that he conducted a primary and it was going to be upheld, but we all know that is not correct. One, the governor’s camp or group resorted to what the national chairman of APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, called ‘self-help.’ They did not participate in the primary ordered and supervised by the NWC’s election panel led by Mohammed Indabawa, a retired Commissioner of Police. In line with APC guidelines, the national headquarters of the party sent electoral panel to all the states, including Ogun. On the day the panel was to meet with the aspirants at MITROS Hall in Abeokuta, you all know what happened that night, when there was a shooting and everybody ran for his life. Now, the primary was fixed for Wednesday, but the governor in his wisdom, went to self conduct his own primary on Tuesday. And on Wednesday, they announced their own winner as Adekunle Akinlade. And you saw the state chairman of the party raising the hand of Akinlade as the winner of the primary. And the question you would want to ask yourself is this; does that fall within the purview of the state chairman? No! To conduct the primary is the sole responsibility of the national headquarters of all political parties. What was done in Ogun State was an aberration.

Secondly, the state party chairman and his members of exco had been barred by an injunction of the Federal High Court from participating in the conduct of the primary; because of the congress I earlier talked about, which is now a subject of litigation. So, what the party chairman did that day
is even in contempt of the court. The only primary that was genuinely conducted took place on Wednesday and was supervised by the NWC’s election panel. And that was the one that produced Prince Dapo Abiodun as the governorship candidate of the party.

What about the legislative primaries?
For these, the NWC sent another delegation for the exercises. But again, my governor, in his own wisdom, hijacked the duties of the committee. Because the committee had guidelines to follow – they were supposed to have called a meeting with the aspirants, brief them on the modalities, including asking them the list of their agents to use. For instance, I am an aspirant; nobody invited me to a meeting. I did not know any modality; I did not know what to be done. I was in my ward with my supporters on the day of the primaries, waiting for the electoral officers to come, only to be told that primaries were being held here and there, without anybody being carried along. It was conducted by the governor and his team. Don’t forget that the governor himself was a senatorial aspirant for Ogun Central. You all saw him on the national television saying he was conducting primaries and had visited 11 wards to monitor the primaries. An aspirant conducting a primary is an aberration! This is not done anywhere. So, the electoral committee sent to conduct the legislative primaries, either handed over their duties to the governor or Mr. Governor hijacked their duties from them. All these reasons were the reason we petitioned the electoral appeal committee, that there was nothing like legislative primaries. And that whatever must have taken place was done by the governor and his team. And this is not in tandem with the rules and guidelines of the party.

You have accused the governor of causing the crisis in the party but the governor himself alluded to the fact that a Lagos cabal is in concert with Aremo Olusegun Osoba to disrupt peaceful co-existence in Ogun APC. How will you react to that?
You know politicians can make claims a lot. Some politicians will tell you good night whereas it is indeed good morning. They would tell you it is black, whereas it is white. Some people that are making claims know inside them that what they are saying is not correct. What are you saying about Lagos cabal? I have taken you through what transpired in terms of reconciliation, that’s how we have been cooperating with our governor that we don’t want any crisis. But for God sake, the governor went and wrote 40 names without consulting the leader of the party, Aremo Olusegun Osoba and we that are aspirants in the party. So, how does Lagos cabal now come in? Did anybody from Lagos come to conduct primaries for us? Did anybody in Lagos tell our governor not to meet us as aspirants for us to agree?

But the governor is still insisting that on May 29, 2019, he would hand over to Akinlade as the governor. What is your take on this?
Once the governor is able to reconcile himself with the South West leadership of the party; don’t forget the national leadership of the party has empowered the South West leadership of APC to go and settle whatever differences therein. And going forward from there, I can see the governor is still pained; albeit it is a self-inflicted pain to have boycotted the primaries conducted by the national headquarters of APC. I am sure it has dawned on him that he made a mistake boycotting that election. Yes, he wishes to hand over to his anointed successor, unfortunately, the person did not win. And seeing the reality on ground, the governor, I am sure, will reconcile with and eventually work for Dapo Abiodun. There is nothing like I want to hand over to Akinlade; in which party? Dapo Abiodun is the governorship candidate and that is the person my governor is going to hand over to in 2019

I read most of the comments and was so bittered within me and I almost weep for the future of this nation. If the youths can be so myopic and running their mouth uncontrollably like this towards the truth being said, then the future of their land is not guaranteed. Seun Osewa needs to review the policy of this platform, people don't show intelligence any longer. All they do is to abuse or spew trash just because of their hate to other people. For most of you that didn't know that NK very well, he came in to this country without using Nigerian passport and there are many means you can do that through the back door. I don't blame those agitating for biafra I blame government that can't provide job for our youths.

Come to think of it, how many doctors, bankers, teachers, engineers joined NK carrying flags and stick around all in the name of agitation. Its only artisans that couldn't have stable electricity to work and touts u will see disturbing the peace of a land.

Let's reason beyond sentiment and hatred. Nigeria is being failing for very long time and not today but that doesn't mean Nigeria can't find its right path. Let's all join hands and help this Nation.

Hofbrauhaus:
One day...One day. I shall sleep in Nigeria and wake up in BIAFRA..one day!

I refuse to raise my children as Nigerians. I reject it! I refuse it. I better die than raise my children as Nigerians..I reject it!

Amen!!!

Why not Christians having a body that can give bonds to nations to help them boost their economy.

There are too many kids on nairaland these days. Their hatred for this present government has turned them to retards that they are ready to support anything that can bring down the government. To the extent that they don't know the difference between NLC and ULC. Who is ULC or rather what is ULC. If you believe any strike will hold Base on this empty talk, am sorry for your future. Keep dreaming!!
