The governor urged Ni­gerians to disregard the or­chestrated opinion polls be­ing published since Saturday in some newspapers, adding that: “Fake opinion polls won’t assist the APC, the way it did not assist the party in the June 21, 2014 Ekiti gov­ernorship election.”

Claims on ING, Tinubu Hiding from His Own Shadow – Fani Kayode

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, PDPPCO Thursday took a swipe at the National leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, described as baseless and false his claims that the PDP and the Presidency offered him the position of vice president in an Interim National Government (ING) if he would dump his party’s Presidential candidate, General Muhhamdu Buhari, retd.

According to PDP, the government or the party was not in any way trying to frame Tinubu for murder and that no one from the government approached him to be the Vice President of anything, just as it described him as having sn overinflated opinion of himself.

In a statement by the Tinubu Media Office had said, “From what can be gathered through informed sources, the PDP and Jonathan Presidency had recently tried to fracture the APC by offering Tinubu the position of vice President in an interim government if he would agree to Part Company with the popular Buhari.

Once Tinubu rebuffed the offer to participate in the interim scheme, the presidency decided to change tactics. It would no longer try to entice Tinubu with sugar but would now move to silence and if necessary neutralize him.

First Lady's Comment On Buhari And The Mass Hysteria by Sabinus Eboh

First Lady, Patience Jonathan

Our gentle, soft-spoken Patience Jonathan caused a great stir in the buildup to the 2015 presidential election last two weeks in Cross River State when she insinuated that Muhammadu Buhari, the All Progressive Congress, APC Presidential candidate for the 2015 general election in Nigeria, may be suffering from brain damage due to old age and that anybody that mentions change should be stoned.

Since that statement, all hell has been let loose with an exhibition of mass hysteria from the main opposition party.

They APC has reacted by calling her a crude woman with a threat to pull out of the non-violence accord signed with the ruling People’s Democratic Party, PDP in Abuja.

The issuance of threat and violence by the APC anytime aspersion is cast on their candidate smacks of hypocrisy on their part. As far as one could remember, APC has remained the greatest culprit in character assassination and attack on personality instead of facing issues.

If we recall vividly, APC, through Lai Mohammed threw the first stone when they referred to the President as running a ‘clueless’ government. Bisi Akande followed on the heels when he referred to the President as a ‘kindergarten President’, alluding that he is learning on the job.

OBJ's Birthday And A Football Show: The Politics Of Old Age - By Sabinus Eboh

Anybody conversant with Obasanjo’s politics in Nigeria will definitely know where he is coming from. The recent football show by OBJ in the course of celebrating his 78^th birthday is part of his deceptive and diversionary tactics to sway the gullible minds to his selfish plans. Nigerian politicians has always shown that for you to be a politician you must first be a good comedian.

This attribute has been so exhibited by no less a person than OBJ. It was OBJ who during the PDP campaign rally of 2006 in Ogun state, when it was rumored that Yaradua is dead, in the most dramatic and comedic manner put a call through to Yaradua on his sick bed, with his phone on speaker, to the hearing of all present, ask the now infamous question “Umaru are you dead?”  The rest today, is history.

The Governor in a statement on Wednesday said the APC should stop acting as if Nigeria belongs to the party.

Fayose said: “By turning themselves to advocates and defenders of the INEC Chairman, the APC and its agents have shown that they have a deal with Jega to manipulate the elections and that deal will be frustrated if he is asked to leave office.”
