They become monsters that will be difficult to deal with."We have no thugs in the APC, all those that campaign with us, we try to empower and give them employment so that they can be off the streets. "If you don't find job for this people, they are the one who become soldiers for Boko-Haram, kidnappers and involved themselves in other criminal activities. "For us as state government, we must continue to govern and these are very serious issues for us." He said politicians should conduct themselves during the campaign and avoid using hate speeches, adding that campaign should be issue-based. Governor El-rufai reiterated his commitment towards ensuring that whoever was found using the social media to incite the killing of people in Kaduna would be brought to book. "We are determined and we are doing that vigorously. We do not care about what people said, either you call yourselves Bishop, Imam, Sheikh, Chief or District head, we will bring them to justice. "We are on the trail of those who have done that, some in Abuja, some in Lagos and we will bring them to Kaduna and charge them for hate speeches and we will not politicise it, because the protection of lives and property should never be politicised," he explained. He appealed to politicians to put the people first, saying they should adhere to the tenets of religion, as no religion preaches hatred. In This Story: #NasirElrufai #KadunaState Sharing is caring.

| 2019 Election: Oshiomhole Chides APC Governors Posted: 05 Dec 2018 02:48 PM PST
Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has described some state governors on the party's platform as poor students of history.The Chairman spoke after receiving the APC women leaders from Edo State and Abuja, who paid him a solidarity visit in his office in Aso Drive, Abuja.Governors Rochas Okorocha of Imo, Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun and Abdul-Aziz Yari of Zamfara are aggrieved that their preferred candidates lost during primaries.Oshiomhole said, "Those who think our political future is tied to them, they are poor students of their own political history, Daily Post reports."Some of these people who talk as if they are invincible, they have forgotten that they have run elections in the past and lost until they abandoned their parties and joined us. So if they return back, history will repeat itself."Whether you are a big or small man, the rules are not supposed to discriminate. Our popularity in Imo and Ogun today is much higher. It is not that once you are a governor you have high electoral value. "Yes in APC, our governors have high electoral value but we also have a few who are electoral liabilities." The former Nigeria Labour Congress President said Nigeria needed to go back to the era where institutions were respected and protected and not powerful individuals. He added that the actions of the two governors would not affect the fortunes of the party in the elections. "In Imo state today, APC will win more votes. My focus is on ordinary Imo voters because on that day, the governor would have only one vote, his son-in-law would have only one vote while his Commissioner for Happiness would have only one vote. "But artisans, traders, teachers and workers whose salaries are not being paid have the same weight of vote and they are excited about the renewed possibility of a new government coming with fresh ideas free of all the encumbrances of the present system. So in Imo I'm very confident. "Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is from Ogun State. The state is one of the most enlightened States in Nigeria. They have a huge history; they are not in a political kingdom headed by one person. "If they were looking for true reconciliation, they wouldn't have done what they did (defection of aides). That is not how democracy works. Nigeria must grow beyond this syndrome 'I'm the governor, I will decide.' You have only one vote. With due respect, I was once a governor. Overall APC is much stronger now". In This Story: #Oshiomhole #YemiOsinbajo #APC #RochasOkorocha Sharing is caring. Share this story  | ||

Bishop David Oyedepo, the Presiding Bishop of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, aka, (Winners' Chapel), has reacted to report that President Buhari was cloned in the United Kingdom, UK.The reports making the rounds had it that Buhari was dead and the President in Aso Rock was Jibril El Sudan.But, Oyedepo, speaking from Living Faith Church at Canaan land, Ota, on Sunday called on Buhari to as a matter of urgency, address the nation on the 'serious allegation'.The cleric, urged the congregation to pray to God to deliver Nigeria from slavery, shame, and reproach.Oyedebo noted that the report flying about "claiming among others that President Muhammadu Buhari had died in the UK while undergoing medical treatment," was disturbing.The Man of God explained further that he had read article which claimed "The cabals in Aso Rock had procured a Buhari double in Sudan and made him Nigeria's President. "That also the representative of Jubril's family who discovered the gigantic swindled suddenly showed up in Abuja and demanded to be compensated with the power-sharing arrangement at the federal level in perpetuating plus 50 percent of the Nigerians Oil revenues for 10 years in the first instance. "The question is, has Nigeria now become a population of fools?'I believe it is time to come out of our slumber and salvage this country from slumber, if this evil tide is not dealt with decisively, Nigeria may be about to be re-colonized again but this time by another African country, what a shame and misfortune that would be, God forbid. "If everything going on this issue particularly this outburst by the newspaper are mere speculation then let our President address the national issue right away to clear the nation. "If the president will not address the nation on a subject as sensitive as this, it must have been proved beyond any iota of doubt that maybe he is not our president. On this note, we will rise and pray to God to rescue Nigeria, deliver this nation from slavery, restore the dignity of this nation, destroy the hold of evil men of our nation and deliver this Nation from shame, and reproach."
