the truth is ameachi will show his real self to his party when he is shoved aside without a single office...It will be clear as day light to ameachi that he was just a tool used by the west and north to take over power...Ameachi would be crowned the greatest political fool that ever walked the surface of this country called Nigeria..

Lets keep our fingers crossed and see how events unfold after may 29th..

We are watching, but if he is shoved out there is absolutely nothing he can do.

Only because they don't have access to such funds. Trust me, same will happen in this government only they will be wise enough to be discreet about it.

Notice that part of the reasons why Tinubu opposes Saraki is that there is an allegation against him. This man is a politician. He brings people like Buhari, Osinbajo, Femi, Fashola with clean profiles and record of hardwork so that they will be popularly accepted and the party's image will progress though he himself remains a thief. So monkey go dey work and baboon go dey chop for secret. Well so far as his choices always perform I don't care. At least he is a thief with vision. A thief with care for progress and development.
Femi Gbaja wetin is not a clean politician in any way,just that Nigerians have a very short memory.
That man collected a large amount of money on behalf of his client in d US and escaped to Nigeria wt d money.
He had to later refund d money to escape extradition and prosecution.

Very possible, anything to keep him outside the cabinet will save them his lousiness.

Tinubu said It behind camera........."I lack nothing, I have. Everything. I could. Ever want, but Nigerians are. Suffering and we must do something before we go." So everything he's doing now, all. The people he's fighting are people he's sure would do a good job. So no worries. Jagaban knows what he's doing.

How I wish this swearing in would come and go so that GMB would release the list of his ministers make we rest from fake pdp sponsored sites. For the idiots praying that Amechi would not any appointment so that they can laf, make my words, Amechi is not only going to be appointed minister, he is going to be very powerful in GMB 's govt. And for those that are praying and waiting for conflict between tinubu and GMB, una go wait taya!

Sahara reporters and co will be claiming ignorance to reveal this kind of news to the public. Am waiting to see how the image of the next government will be represented by various media house who helped to incite the massess against the outgoing govt. The lies, propaganda, misinformation, etc really tore the nation apart. But we must move on and accordingly this time..

If this is true, I think I agree with Tinubu. He's one hell of a brilliant politician. I wish they had zoned the position of the Speaker to the SS though so Iriase would have been the choice.

See how an adult is rooting for a person he labels a thief!!! Is this change? Celebrating criminals.
Well I guess he must also be a thief and at the right time they will all end up in prison. No matter how long it takes and hopefully very soon, the light of truth will remove the darkness of criminality, evil and injustice.

Former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, is leaving no one in doubt that he calls the shots in the party as he has penciled down his key men to lead the new National Assembly, NASS, to be inaugurated early June.
With the party’s power sharing formula, Tinubu has positioned his men to takeover available positions zoned to the regions. APC zoned the Senate Presidency to the North-Central, Speakership to the South-West, Tinubu’s region, which also produced the Vice President, the Secretary to Government of the Federation, SGF to the South-East and the Senate Majority Leader to the South-West.
Going by the zoning arrangement, the battle on how to fill the vacancies has started in earnest with Tinubu said to have lined up three strong contenders to take over the leadership of the 8th NASS.
He is alleged to be backing Senator George Akume, former Benue State Governor and long time political ally from the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN to be the Senate President.
In the same vein, Tinubu is backing Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, his political protégé to take over as the Speaker of the House of Representatives, while at the same time positioning his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, to be the Senate Majority Leader.
Though he is said to be facing stiff opposition from those backers of Senator Bukola Saraki, mainly from the party’s governors, Nigerian Pilot learnt that he is playing a religious card in pushing the candidature of Akume and Gbajabiamila.
Tinubu’s argument, it was gathered, is that if Saraki is allowed to be Senate President, and Hon. Gbajabiamila becomes the Speaker, it would open the party to criticisms given the fact that the President-elect is a Muslim and both Saraki and Gbajabiamila are also Muslims.
According to Tinubu’s argument, the religious balancing would come only when the Senate president is a Christian and the natural choice is Akume.
The former Lagos governor also allegedly blackmailed Saraki’s backers with a case of N21billion preferred against the former governor of Kwara State by the Special Fraud Unit of the Nigeria Police. He purportedly told them that the party cannot be championing anti-corruption and at the same time promoting someone who has such a “dirty” case still hanging on his neck. This, according to insiders, has ruffled many feathers in the APC hierarchy with many afraid the party may slide into a one-man show.
The zoning of Speakership to the South-West, it is understood, has caused a friction between Tinubu and Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, the party’s national chairman, who had passionately pleaded that the party zone the slot to the South-South in order for his preferred candidate, Mr. Pally Iriase, from Edo State to get the office. For all Odigie-Oyegun’s pleas, Tinubu reminded him how he also went against the wishes of many and installed him as the APC chairman.
With the Vice President-elect, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo being Tinubu’s ally, Odigie-Oyegun’s argument is that it would amount to unexplainable greed for the party to allow Tinubu to also take the Speakership slot.
However, Tinubu is understood to have stood his ground, threatening to throw the Speakership position open to contest, a position he well understands he would have upper hand because of the number of House of Representatives members from the South-West as compared to Odigie-Oyegun’s South-South.
If Tinubu bulldozes his way through as he is bent on doing, it means that he would have been responsible for three of the four most powerful positions in Nigeria. He singlehandedly nominated the vice president-elect.
Meanwhile, the zoning of the SGF to the South-East has opened a fresh battle on who succeeds Chief Anyim Pius Anyim between Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu and Dr. Chris Ngige, all former governors and eminently qualified for the office.
Insiders in the party are favouring Onu, arguing that he is more of a stabiliser, tilting towards a technocrat than Ngige who is seen as an everyday politician.
Onu’s maturity and for the fact that he comes from the All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP wing of the APC, may stand him in good stead ahead of Ngige who comes from the ACN wing of the party. ANPP has not really benefitted much in terms of sharing positions in the party and if it is still denied this, it may cause great disaffection in the party.

[size=16pt]Rubbish
You mean by your dictionary,you can just echo a cooked up story from sensational journalists who obviously were not paying attention in journalism school when the doctrine of "when in doubt,leave out" was being taught.

I can as well tell you that by the same our Nigerian dictionary,your alleged N2trn naira campaign spenders are nothing compared to the N4trn Thiefnuubu stole from Lagos in 16 years,which is more than the $30bn his oil company stole from subsidy scam and N3trn tax evasion,N980mln Fashole and OshomOLE used in buying bullet proof cars and N500mln Ekitigate bed scandal by Fayemi
