I don't know how true is this report but news from "the cable" appears to be authentic most times.

Back to topic, I told someone that PMB is a colossal failure but Atiku is not only a serial loot but a hardened criminal. His desperation stinks and clearly shows what he aims to achieve by looting the nation's wealth to nothing.

In short, majority of these wicked politicians deserve to die. The poor masses are begging for paltry minimum wage of 30,000 but these idiots choose to settle for 20k when neighbouring countries earn up to 40k and to mention not being part of OPEC body should be a huge slap on our government.

The looting ongoing in APC/PDP can't be phantom. I wonder what will be left for future generation when oil becomes useless. I even read it somewhere that the current NNPC boss failed to remit 91 trillion not even billion to FG account since 2016. What a shame!

Imagine paying someone USD 90k per month for the wicked ATIKULOOT to manoeuvre his way to power and somehow get pardoned by the US team to clear his charges.

I really don't pity these politicians but the stvpid Nigerian youths and shameful elders shouting Sai Baba and Atikuobi. Am done telling people neither PMB/ATIKU can fix the economy but trust some people will say let's settle for the lesser evil. Na una sabi. I can't wait to leave this country. Am done believing there is hope here.

grin grin grin haba now bros. So after shouting Sai Babarisms in 2014 and 2015, you just dey wake up now like Shehu Sani say you suppose don find way tey tey? cheesy bros. no time, notin do you finally. sharp guys don find dia way since wit liberty of visiting at will.

But even on the outside looking in or on the inside looking at trends, would prefer Atiku handling the country's economy to Buhari - no contest. As all man with the means, who wish to, dey find dia way, make dem no dey selfish as to the well-being of fellow Nigerians at home.

The difference is, Buhari was rich enough to fund his campaign. We know where the monies came from

We also know tho majorly fund PDP presidential campaigns and you don't expect such a man not to recoup his monies if he wins

Waste of money to me. Does US politics look anything like Nigerian politics? The man will just end up confused when he realises that This Is Nigeria, not America. Many things are done upside-down and backward-forward here.

What strategy does he think he has in his head for something 'jaga jaga'? Can he he turn zigzag into straight line? These MAGA people come turn PDP to their own maga. Haba!

She is not an elected officer yet with access to elected officer's accant undecided

Where did she get billions from undecided

Choose your words carefully:

Her husband cannot afford nomination form
Her son rides an extravagant bike
Extravagant wedding for her daughter e.t.c

Don't you think EFCC should look into her case



and how much is $5m in naira that patience Jonathan have in her various accounts?


I'm sure you people don't understand what I wrote there


at first the guy that quote me made a baseless and incoherent comparison. the money Atiku spent on primary election own would send Aisha and her husband packing talkless of Dubai jamboree


comparing Atiku that will be elected in office if destiny and poll decides to Aisha that get only allocation to her office is baseless


just as mama peace can't be compare with an elected office so also is Aisha.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has hired Brian Ballard, a top US lobbyist, ahead of the 2019 elections.

The influential lobbyist has President Donald Trump as one of his clients. Politico Magazine, a top publication in the US, says Ballard is closer to the US president than perhaps any other lobbyist in town.

“He’s parlayed that relationship into a booming business helping clients get their way with the Trump administration — and his clients and even some of his rivals say his firm has a better grasp of what’s going on in the West Wing than almost anyone else,” the magazine said in a report.

“Ballard was one of the top fundraisers in the country for Trump’s campaign and continues to raise millions for his reelection campaign. Wiles, one of his top lieutenants, ran Trump’s campaign in Florida and delivered the nation’s biggest swing state to the president.”

Documents seen by TheCable showed that Nigeria’s main opposition party has agreed to pay $90,000 (N31.5m) to Ballard on a monthly basis throughout the duration of the contract.

TheCable understands that the contract which was signed on September 21, 2018 is for a year, meaning Ballard would rake in close to N400 million from the deal.


Ballard with Trump at a fundraising ceremony
“This contract is entered into between the Peoples Democratic Party of Nigeria (“the Client”), Plot l970 Michael Okpara Street, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, and Ballard Partners, Inc. (“the F irm”), 601 13th Street NW, Suite 450N, Washington, D. C. 20005,” the agreement read.

“This agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year periods on the anniversary of the effective date of the agreement unless either party terminates the agreement. Upon renewal this agreement may be terminated within thirty (30) days written notice by either party.

“Duties of the firm. It shall be the Firm’s duty to consult with the Client and advocate on its behalf those issues the client deems necessary and appropriate before the US Federal government. Issues and objectives may include, but not be limited to, enhancement of US Nigerian relations; strengthening and advancing democratic values and the rule of law in Nigeria, with a special focus in the coming months on maintaining political and security conditions free of intimidation and interference in order to ensure the success and fairness of Nigeria’s national election for president in 2019. It shall further be the Firm’s duty to inform the Client of developments in legislation and policy relevant to the Client’s issues and objectives.


The master strategist
“It shall be the Client’s duty to provide the Firm the information necessary to best represent the Client. It shall also be the Client’s duty to timely compensate the Firm for its services.

“Compensation. The Firm shall receive from the Client $90,000 a month, payable in quarterly installments for this agreement, plus the reasonable costs associated with the representation, including but not limited to, necessary registration fees; and travel expenses.”

Osita Chidoka, a former minister of aviation, signed the contract on behalf of the PDP.

This report comes two weeks after Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the party, led PDP stalwarts to Dubai for a strategy meeting.

So is your own brain functioning well why is Mrs Jonathan still being disturbed till date, did she hold any office while are husband was in power, was any money allocated to her, all she made was from gift same way Aisha is making so get some sense too, you are guys are free to do, but when others do it is wrong.

How much is 900m compared to the Billions APC realised from the sales of forms, get some sense, did you read the reason for the contract, you are only concerned about the money.
