''Buhari, APC taking Nigerians for fools'' ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo says




Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says President Buhari and his party, APC, have in the last three years been taking “Nigerians for fools.”
The former president said this at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL) in Abeokuta the Ogun State capital, where he announced that his Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM) platform has adopted the African Democratic Congress(ADC) as a political platform to achieve the dream of changing the current state of governance at all levels in the country come 2019.
The former president lamented that the fortunes of most Nigerians have taken a turn for the worse in the last three years despite claims by the Buhari-led government that the economy was booming.
He also warnedNigerians not to accept the call for forgiveness by the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP). According to the former president who was a chieftain of the party until he tore his membership card in 2015, the party had sought forgiveness but has not deemed it fit to discipline its members who used eight years to bring woes upon the country through poor governance.

President Buhari’s re-election chances are as tall as El-Rufai - Reno Omokri

It is no longer news that President Buhari has declared his interest to seek a second term in office, much to the secret chagrin of his side kick, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, who, though he feigns delight at the President’s decision, is secretly disappointed. His over ambition is very well known in power circles and he was hoping that the President would stand down and instead pick him as his proxy. But that is not my focus for this piece. My focus is the reason the President gave for wanting to be re-elected President. A statement released by the Presidency, “the President said he was responding to the clamour by Nigerians to re-contest in 2019.” Notice the language. The President is not running because he has a good record of achievement (he does not). He is not running because he has plans to implement (again, he does not). He is also not running because he has unfinished projects to complete. President Buhari instead is running because of the “clamour by Nigerians”...

Mayaka was happy that he had finally gotten justice in the case that has lasted six years now. He had earlier made an appeal in February 2015, against an earlier court ruling but judges Wanjiru Karanja, Festus Azangalala and Gatembu Kairu rejected it. The judges said that the appeal case had no merit and upheld the finding of the lower court.Makini was ordered to refund KSh 205,000 (N625,837), as bride price and the fees his ex-husband had paid for her. “I am happy that there is justice for the oppressed.
