Omeokachie: What is wrong with the current order of the election? |
Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by Omeokachie: 9:17am On Mar 16, 2018 |
Ijaya123: Good question. It encourages here mentality. Once the presidential election is done, people lose interest in every other election. This is one of the reasons we have highly incompetent persons as lawmakers because there is no interest from the people to participate at that level. However, if major awareness is created starting with the legislative elections, you will find situations where even unknown parties could win one or two seats. This will never be the case should the presidential elections come first as the defeatist mode sets in and whichever party wins the presidential would have a field day. We need diversity to check the executive arm and deepen the Democratic experience. 1 Like |

OlujobaSamuel: You are only sure of loyalty once you get the mandate. Have you heard of people collecting money and voting otherwise? The control will not be as strong because once they win their seats, you are then at their Mercy. Ask Kwankwaso and what happened at the governors forum election. |

Nobody is giving them bribe again. They are just wasting their time. Most of these National members will not come back. Bravo to Baba Buhari and Prof Yemi Osinbajo, forward ever, backward never. |

We Have Powerful Chess Players In The Senate. They Planned Everything Frm The Outset, Ensuring An Opposition Became The Deputy Senate President. Thus, He Has Become The Queen; Checkmate Is Within Reach. Does The President Have A Joker? Apc Needs To Put Its House In Order For Cordial Relationship Between The Executive N D Legislature. This Will Determine D Fate Of Apc In 2019. |

evanstinobbc: If you were honest with yourself, you wouldn't think of voting him. I've never loved Jonathan, I knew from Buhari antecedent, he was never honest, and always tribalistic. I wasn't disappointed. |

Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by ProYouAdminsUK: 3:09pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
But that shouldn't affect the results of the elections even if people lose interest. There is basically no reason for the reordering other than a selfish agenda by some corrupt APC federal lawmakers and governors to work to prevent the president's re-election once they have secured their own re-election. Omeokachie: |
Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by Omeokachie: 3:18pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
ProYouAdminsUK: I see no selfishness, rather I see the opportunity it would afford lesser known political parties to win some seats. If it will not affect the outcome of the election as you said, why then is the President jittery and his loyalists at the national assembly claiming that it was aimed at the president? It only points to the fact that this reordering will change the face of our elections and Democratic experience for ever should it happen, which is why the presidency is kicking very hard against it. |
Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by ProYouAdminsUK: 3:27pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
What concerns the national assembly whether or not little known parties win seats? How does that affect anything? The only reason is anti-Buhari agenda. Buhari is a movement in the entire northern states and if these corrupt lawmakers succeed in rigging him out of office, expect an explosion of anger from the northern masses, who are the most politically sophisticated group in Nigeria. Expect many mansions ans convoys of northern politicians to be attacked and set ablaze. Omeokachie: check my signature. |
Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by Omeokachie: 3:35pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
ProYouAdminsUK: Aha! Like dogs and baboons being soaked in blood? Lol. Buhari will lose and nothing will happen. He lost 3 times in the past and heavens did not fall. If you are thinking about the future of our democracy (And not about an individual - Buhari), then you should be happy that the more we widen the scope of the political space to accommodate lesser known parties that do not have the financial muscle to rig elections, the better for our Democratic survival. What concerns the legislature? Well, it is their duty to make laws for the good of the country and its future survival, and are not elected to babysit Buhari and his personal political ambition. |
Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by ProYouAdminsUK: 3:48pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
So these lawmaker people who make laws for the good of the country is delaying passage of an annual budget by about 5months? It is obvious the only logical reason for putting Buhari's election last , is to give corrupt lawmakers the chance to secure their elections first, so they can all switch to prevent Buhari's re-election. Omeokachie: |
Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by Omeokachie: 3:54pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
ProYouAdminsUK: Are you aware that Buhari directed all ministers and agencies to go and defend their budgets before the national assembly just yesterday after meeting with the leadership of the national assembly? So were you expecting the national assembly to pass the budget without defence by the executive arm of government? The problem here is that we are not holding the executive arm responsible to do their own part of the budgeting process. If you believe that Buhari has done so well to earn a reelection, the order of election shouldn't throw him off balance, don't you think? Only the guilty is afraid. |
Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by ProYouAdminsUK: 4:18pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
All agencies are not required to defend budget at the NASS, there are about 500 agencies, the NASS are just making excuses to continue to delay passage. Only ministries need to defend as it is assumed the mda have been audited by the ministries that they work under. Between the budget office and the ministry of budget and planning, NASS can get all the answers to any quesions the may have. We are not 5 year olds . Nigerians know what is going on. Omeokachie: |
Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by Omeokachie: 4:31pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
ProYouAdminsUK: "Also, over 70% of these MDAs were yet to submit their budget breakdown. “At the meeting last night, President Buhari was surprised to find out that not all minsters have appeared before the Senate,” “President Buhari apologized for thinking the blame was on the National Assembly,” the source who pleaded anonymity added. President Buhari also gave a one-week ultimatum to all heads of agencies who were yet to comply with the requirements to do so. This will be communicated to the heads of agencies by the SGF." I have copied excerpts from last nights meeting between the president and the leadership of the national assembly. We must ensure we hold our leaders to account. While Buhari is apologizing for the action of members of the executive arm, you are here making excuses for him. Buhari will leave and You and I will be the ones that will be affected by their inaction. |
Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by ProYouAdminsUK: 4:49pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
MDAs are not required to submit budget breakdown thier budget breakdown are already included in the budget defended by their ministries. NASS are just choosing to request it in order to waste time. The source quoting the president is likely only claiming anonymity because it is not true. If a ministry had truely not been to defend the budget don't you think we would have heard about it by now ? Wouldn't the NASS have raised the matter with the presidency by now (the 6th month since budget was prepared)? Omeokachie: |
Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by Omeokachie: 4:58pm On Mar 16, 2018 |
ProYouAdminsUK: Guy, You are on NL, abeg read news na. It made FP, and also the SGF addressed the press after the meeting on the outcome. I wonder where you got the idea of anonymity from. Just follow the news, and you can debate from an informed position rather than preconceived bias. I'm out! |
Re: President Buhari Meets With National Assembly Principal Officers by ProYouAdminsUK: 8:50am On Mar 17, 2018 |
The SGF never said anything on camera that collaborates this anonymous source. Making FP does not make a news story true. I always debate from informed position. Omeokachie: |
