PDP FAILED FOR 16 YEARS!!!
When did it become a crime for politicians to play politics?
Were they not voted in to play politics?
Will it be wrong to develop our roads, infrastructure, free education, return oil blocks to the State instead of individuals?
What is this noise all about?
Jonathan was voted for by the South West in 2011, the same SW voted for Buhari in 2015, what is all this noise all about the SW going for Buhari?
Obasanjo, the direct beneficiary of #June12 is from the same State with MKO, why didn’t he play politics and declare June 12?
Jonathan had opportunity for 5 years to do same, he rather gave Abacha from the North posthumous honor, pardoned Ex-convict from the West, Alams from the South…
What do you call that?
Is that politics or chemistry?
16 years opportunity to acknowledge #June12 they refused to use the #PoliticalUndertone…
So are you expecting Buhari to use Biological or Chemical undertone to take such decision?
Why are you guys fixated about those supporting Buhari, is it not a choice and must you dictate to others?
You brought up religious sentiments prio to 2015 election, yet blamed Buhari fr being the religious bigot….
Jonathan was running from one Church to another, Sambo openly told them in the North that they must not vote for Buhari because Osinbajo is a Pastor of a big Church….Who is a religious bigot here?
I mean, who was running from one religious organisation to another in 2015 because of politics? Pastor Bosun came up with that sudden apostasy, wrapped up Jonathan PDP politics in the name of “wake up call” message.
I’m happy that I’m still here. I asked him when most of you were analyzing that heretic message that “Jonathan is fulfilling prophecy”…..
I asked a simple question: “Which prophecy is Jonathan”? Pastor Bosun went ahead to say “even if the Islamic party (APC) presents a Christian Governor in Lagos, you must not vote for him, you must vote for the other party(PDP)…… Wait, who was using religion?
Obasanjo removed Senate Presidents at will, removed any opposing voice, removed Fayose for a small insult, removed Ladoja with thugs in Ibadan….Who are you calling “DICTATOR”? Muhammadu Buhari………
Obasanjo withheld Lagos State fund for 3 years, not minding how Lagosians would eat, Yaradua got there and released the fund…
NASS members were abusing Buhari openly, messing up everything at will, Fayose has been abusing Buhari for 4 years now…..
Not a single State in Nigeria has been denied their constitutional rights because of politics till date, all their funds, Paris fund, bail out, FAAC etc… But who is the DICTATOR? BUHARI.
Jonathan ensured that NASS opposition members were locked out including Tambuwa the Speaker of the house. They had to climb gate to gain access…..
Jonathan empowered OPCs in Lagos and they were destroying anything in Ikorodu to Ojota that looked like opposition party. Orga of DSS was used to invade APC secretariat, Journalist arrested and Newspapers siezed, we forgot all these….
Ekiti was militarised, Fayose was given power from Aso rock to order Military guys at will. Fayemi the incumbent at that moment was rendered powerless that he was shouting when Police commissioner was used by PDP and a guy was shot…All these videos and pictures are still here (google is your friend)…
But who is the dictator? BUHARI. Jonatahn met FX+ECA at $62 billion+. He DEPLETED it to less than $30 Billion in 5 years Jonathan sold crude oil for 5 years at an average of $100 per barrel of 2.2 million daily (2010-2014). Did he add a DIME to Nigeria purse in 5 years? NO.
Buhari the ILLITERATE sold oil at an average of $50 of less than 700,000 barrel at some points because of militancy, yet had moved that FX to $47 Billion in 3 years. Don’t say how much did he borrow if you don’t even have the figure borrowed between 2010-2015 without adding a dime to FX. Who is the ILLITERATE? BUHARIIII.
Jide Omokore, Aluko and oil goddess Alinson made an oil deal of N1 trillion and chose not to remit to Nigeria under GEJ. Did anyone raise eyebrow? INTEL of Atiku refused to remit to NPA, not until last year that “ordinary” Hadiza the NPA boss challenged INTEL and insisted the funds must be remitted.
A Christian Professor had been leading JAMB all through Obasanjo to Jonathan yet for 40 years of JAMB, only N52 Million was remitted to FG….A Muslim Professor who was appointed just in two years of handling JAMB remitted over N15 Billion……FIFTEEN BILLION ooO….
So who is following after righteousness? For five years of Okonjo Iweala was paying over 45,000 ghost workers unabated, yet just within 3 years, “ordinary” Kemi Adeosun removed such nonsense…I ask again who is more effective? Ordinary Abuja metro lane took 11 years from OBJ period that he initiated it.
Stop dividing us over religion, who is fooling who? Please wake up.!
With whose money did he buy the vehicles. People should for goodness sake start asking questions.
…but see workers’ salaries as luxury for workers
So how many cars did he donate to Ondo State University?
With which funds? His salary or state budget? Only if politicians can take the basic needs of man seriously like the way they can die for personal gains. Nigeria is an example of failed country.
I hope you are not owning salaries
And he failed to pay our pensioners their pensions and gratuities but donated 18 vehicles for Buhari campaign.
Good.
He use state money to buy vehicles for buhari campaign. That’s not corruption.
Can you see what a government that has not pay his staffs salaries for months is doing with the money? It’s a pity nigerians that all these people we votes for never have us on their mind but time shall tell
No 30k minimum wages
Pls, what is your argument? Do people not critics Jonathan? What of father ibaka in 2015 you are talking of. And can buhari win without the vote of christians? So what is it. All this have also be in politics before now ? You are only carried away by the love for your cadidate weither he is good enough or not. But that is you, all is not new even apc use the same in 2015. God bless Nigeria
Form whose money?
What a misused of priority.
It’s a shame, we we the good people of Nigeria fail to see that this PDP and APC and not interested in the good of this country.
It’s well, we should do away with these two parties so we can move forward
State fund?????
He needs to explained to the people of ondo where he got that money??????? Used in getting the 18vehicles
Opeyemi David Obale, we welcome constructive and objective criticisms from everywhere but such should be based on truth and verifiable facts.
No father Xmas anywhere. Expecting something in return ???
Looking for federal might favour. How is it explainable that a state that is owing workers can afford such luxury? It is a complete misplacement of priority.
Donating to buhari but you can’t donate to common man on the streets
My brother i don’t know why Nigerians can’t see that even the educated and young ones behave like illitrates and i think we black do most things based on sentiments and resentment.
From the state confer I believe..definitely not from his own purse…
How that take help our economy?
Good one sir
Who is the donor: Akeredolu or the state he governs?
