Nigeria is a country where nothing ever works. It is when everything is working that you can re-brand; but when you have corruption, poor electricity supply and people are hesitating to employ graduates from our universities because of deteriorating standard, what are we re-branding?
– Chief Ayo Adebanjo, a chieftain of Afenifere, describing the re-branding project as a waste of time.
I am deeply saddened and disturbed by the recent political situation in Ekiti State. The President and Vice-President should not be dragged into an internal political campaign of Ekiti State, as they are the President and Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not of the PDP. Yar’ Adua and Jonathan should stay off the Ekiti re-run. They should focus on national development.
– Gen. Adeyinka Adebayo, President of the Yoruba Council of Elders, condemning the visit of the President and his deputy to Ekiti State ahead of the re-run governorship election.
If your intention is to go and serve, why do you have to kill and maim in order to go and serve? It is up to the people to say we want you or we don’t want you. What is important, and I think this should be very seriously considered, is the provision of a level playing ground for both parties and that the referees should also maintain their integrity as imperial arbiters.
– Chief Ayo Ogunlade, former Minister of Information and National Planning, condemning the spate of violence in Ekiti State.
What the PDP is now trying to do is to undermine the Electoral Reform Committee report and to produce, officially, a one-party dictatorship because if you limit the number of political parties as recommended by the committee, PDP will automatically form a one-party state.
- Alhaji Balarabe Musa, National Chairman, Conference of Nigerian Political Parties, explaining why some governors defected to the Peoples Democratic Party.
I wish to state emphatically that Alhaji Lai Muhammed, on interrogation, could not substantiate the allegation or disclose the source of his information on the alleged plot. He also failed to identify the governor of the North-Central zone alleged to have been involved. Chief Bisi Akande also failed to volunteer a statement or show up at the police station to justify his allegation.
– Mike Okiro, Inspector-General of Police, on the allegation by the Action Congress that there was a plot to kill former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
