Trajectory of CAN Elected Presidents from inception to date - Dominic Cardinal

(1). Ekandem (late) from 1976 till 1986.

(2). Anthony Cardinal Okogie from 1988 till 1995.

(3). Prelate Sunday Mbang from 1994 till 2003.

(4). Primate Jasper Akinola from 2003 till 2007.

(5). Archbishop John Onaiyekan from 2007 till 2010.

(6). Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor from 2010 till 2016.

(7). And the current president.... Reverend (Dr) Samson Ayokunle, who was elected in 2016.


Does it mean CAN as a body of Christ did not see any Northern Christian qualified to be the Association's President since 1976 to date ?

Why the predominance by Southern Christians....?

Does this imply that the northern Christian are less Christians or is it because they are in minority in northern Nigeria.

Are they also minority in the Christian family in Nigeria?

This is amazing as Equity, justice and fairness is not playing in CAN.

Yet Can is promising Fire and Brimstone against APC for not finding a Christian Northerner to be VP Candidate....when they could not find a worthy Northern Christian to lead their Association for 42 years now....

He Who Calls for Equity must come with Clean Hands.

Ile la ti n ko eso rode !

AntiTerrorist:


Are we now in 1979? Was there APC in 1979?

The issue is that APC is an Islam'ic terrorists party and their candidates are a drug baron and a terrorist sponsor.

If you field moderate muslims like Zulum and Oyetola, I will not complain.

GeeX:
Y'all can keep pretending you don't know it's Nnamdi Kanu's IPOB boys who are behind these attacks since Ikonso was killed.

When you start reaping the fruits of insecurity in the south east, don't call anyone o. Keep killing security agents and keep celebrating online. E go soon clear, na season film.

I just hope we can the history of how Book Haram started in the North with many sympathizers from the region. Such sympathizer were the ones been mainly terrorized presently. Let us open our eyes and don't allow the same thing to happen in Southeast.

Darkharvest:
Its none of my business.

Why are u here then?

ValCon888:
At the end of the day, we still depend on science to save us from the pandemic.
Religion plays no part in the advancement of the human race.

Please who grant these knowledge to the scientists?
Definitely every success Humans have achieved in the field of science and technology or any other fields of knowledge is due to the permission if the Creator of all that exist.

Wilstino:
There is a disconnect in all these. How comes a a Kano/Northern Commissioner would come out to spew such negative things about him.

He is a stakeholder in the system and privy to happenings within.

Perhaps Onyeama judgment might have been beclouded by the good relationship and gestures he obviously enjoyed.

Anyway, you can't please everybody but time shall tell.

The lesson here is that, by and by death will come to us, be careful what you do or how you treat people today, because people will use that to Judge and talk about you when you gone.

COVID-19: Why I ‘celebrated’ Abba Kyari’s death – Sacked Ganduje’s Commissioner, Magaji

The immediate past Kano State Commissioner of Works and Infrastructural Development, Engr Muazu Magaji, who was relieved of his appointment following alleged unguarded utterances he made against the person of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari, has finally cleared the air of what he actually meant.

The former commissioner in a statement he issued on Sunday, said he did not celebrate Kyari’s death but people misunderstood what he meant.



Governor Abdullahi Ganduje had through the state Commissioner for Information, Malam Muhammad Garba, in a statement said the Commissioner of Works and Infrastructural Development, Engr. Mu’azu Magaji removed from office following his unguarded utterances against the person of the late Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari.

He explained, “I want to sincerely clear up what a lot of people may have misunderstood and set the record straight. As a Muslim and a patriotic Nigerian, I was only misunderstood by people to think that I celebrated Kyari’s death, the truth is I did not.”

The former Commissioner added, “Not only that, I made several posts mourning Kyari’s death on my same Facebook and through my special assistants, but the general public couldn’t commend such, rather tend to capitalize on a phrase post that was given another set of definition and direction as well as negativity in other to tarnish my reputable image as a member of Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje istration and his loyalist and that of our national party, APC.

SillyMods:
Disgraceful youths.

Buhari has proved to be wiser and smarter than our so-called economists who know nothing about practicals but theory.

Many times Buhari has floored them on economics matter:

1. During the debate to fully float the Naira against the president's position not to do so, Buhari was eventually proved correct by attaining exchange rate stability without floating the currency.

2. PMB, against noise and wailing banned access to 42 items including toothpicks to save dollars. Today, most of those items are locally produced thereby creating local jobs and increasing wealth for the entrepreneurs who took adantage.

This time, the best president in Nigeria's history says that in a bid to encourage local food producers and make them competitive, the CBN should not provide dollars to food importers. Wailers and wailing zombies are masturbating and bringing up voodoo economics to tell us why it is wrong for the president to say/do so. Please tell us how best to encourage local production if not by making them more competitive? How can people produce locally if the imported goods remain cheap or slightly dearer?

Una no get sense I swear. And this senseless thinking is being led by a wannabe presidential candidate who was a deputy governor of CBN when GEJ sacked Sanusi. The idiot stood by GEJ. He was also alive when Jona the fisherman was ordering Emefiele to release billions of dollars for looting (in the name of fighting insurgency) but kept quiet.

IPOBites and sense are words and their opposite.

You want Nigeria to be like China, Korea, Japan, etc, but you don't want to take the hard decisions! Hypocrites and unpatriotic souls.

Thumbs up my brother.

hisgrace090:
There's hardly a country that doese not import food they're not sufficient to.

How are we going to reduced unemployment if we keep on importing what we can produce in this country with the vast and fertile land. Let's encourage those that want to go into farming which is what the president is trying to do. Sai Buhari

Positivepoint:
I am surprised no body talking about his religious beliefs?

Because he is white and most likely to be a Christian.

iammo:


Airport flooding happens when the rain volume or snow volume is unprecedented due to unpredictable climatic change, its like an arab complaining about sand storm or northern America complaining about hurricane or Asians complaining about earthquakes and blaming anybody and everybody

I know Nigerians cry fustration, but then we aint rich like we think we are, standard infrastruture cost real money... 80% of Nigerian income comes from Crude oil sales, we produce 2million barrels per day with a population of 200 million citizens with millions of und aliens, yet we somehow want to compare with qatar of just a million population for millions of barrels, or china with almost all youth actively working without waiting for government and paying tax to develop their infrastructure.

face fact wailing like looser without doing anything is counter productive and when i see fools driving out foriegn investors on social media, i just laugh.. afterall most nigerians in other countries enjoying best of infrastructure are lazy people waiting on goverment benefit or crime loving deplorables

only in Nigeria do we have a 40 years old that who claims to have master plan to turn his region to next dubai if they disintegrate through war but after leaving years in United kingdom with top most infrastructure and economy ,his highest taxable income is £1000, and he works in a cubicle based internet podcast station


..

You have just hit the nail on the head which is a good lesson for those who can reflect.

deepwater:
It's like it is going to take INEC three (3) Eke market days to call the results abi?

Do you actually know the number of days it took to announce 2015 presidential election?

LiveByNight:
Nope they rigged by counting manual votes despite asking for over N200 billion to conduct an election

This shows that this country is finished and should be burnt to the ground

If it was manual voting why not use just N500 million. For the elections?

This is a sham that has been rejected by even the international community

Sanctions loading

Buhari will not the accepted as the winner internationally

Please can you share any link to the International community rejecting the election if you are actually sincere.

DonPablo007:
People are getting paid to come for campaign.
We have heard of different states that they mobilized people with funds to turn up for campaigns.
We are not afraid of campaign crowd
We are gallantly confident
Come fail buhari
Sai atiku
Sai Saraki
Sai PDP

Nigeria shall be great again

Do u actually believe all the people in the crowd are paid to attend the rally? Sai Baba as we love him unconditionally

Centcanada:
It is not by populations. Some people even CE down there just to mock you.

If your statement is applicable to other parties then no problem.

40. *Niger Delta Ministry-Orubebe, etc.*

*All these happened yet some people kept quiet, now they are talking nonsense.*

*Bishop Bolanle Gbonigi led a delegation to protest the lopsidedness twice. "Jonathan promised to do something about it; he never did". "OPC founder, Faseun, took two-page advert in The Guardian in November 2011 to draw attention to it; nothing was done to correct it".*

*Many have forgotten it was like that in the First Republic. Akintola kept drawing our attention to it, but his outcry was overshadowed, indeed drowned, by the crisis in the Action Group. He always spoke of Ikejiani, Iketa-ani!!!*

*An aspect of efforts to correct it with Richard Akinjide as Education Minister led to crisis at Unilag instigated by Dr. Ben Nwabueze, now Professor. Akinjide sought to replace Prof. Eni Njoku with Prof. Saburi Biobaku. You may wish to that he was stabbed by an Adams, a Yoruba student in our accustomed detribalization and liberalism. Until Akinjide became minister of education under Balewa, the Yorubas hardly got federal scholarships. If at all it was tokenism.*

*Among the first set of Yorubas to benefit from Akinjide's attempted redress in 1965 was Professor Akinyemi to pursue his higher degrees at Cambridge. At the time just go to Yaba Tech, or NBC, especially Voice of Nigeria headed by Chinua Achebe, yes the same Achebe.*

*Go to all the Federal Govt parastatals of that era. What of federal civil service, particularly the upper echelon. It was then speculated at the time that the reason Zik did not cooperate with Awolowo in 1959 to form Govt was so that he could put his people in different vital positions in pursuit of his dream that it was a matter of time when the Igbos would dominate and rule the whole of Africa. At the time Njoku was at Unilag, Kenneth Dike was the Vice Chancellor at the University of Ibadan, appointed over the head of his superiors, "Oladele Ajose" who was in fact the only black already on the Academic Board of UI; Dr. Sanya Onabamiro; and Dr. Victor Oyenuga. Dike and Hezy Oluwasanmi were on the same level, the fourth ring. Dr. Francis Ibiam was chairman of Council. So, he went to London University to lobby for Kenneth Dike, his kinsman.

Incidentally, Dike was in Canada at the time on sabbatical.*

*The Yoruba academics then led a protest delegation to Chief Awolowo at Oke Ado. He calmed them down and said the answer was in the West setting up its own university. He asked them to give him a paper. That was what led to the founding of the University of Ife!!!.*

*While Dike held sway, the halls, catering, drycleaning services were all dominated by Igbos.*

Let me add to this, President Goodluck Jonathan removed General Dambazzau as the COAS and replaced him with General Ihejirika, he removed Afrikiya Gadzama as DSS boss and replaced him with Ita Ekpenyong, The economy team of this govt is dominated by Southerners but nobody is talking about it because it does not suit their narrative.

*Ibrahim D Itsenyabi*

PROPHETmichael:

So all of a sudden, Tambuwal is now corrupt for saying the obvious?

Just like he became Saint for defecting to PDP.

Forgive me, I am madly in of President Muhammedu Buhari second term bid because am a Cross Riverian.

In 1999 we gave PDP 100 percent votes and lost Bakassi to Cameroon.

In 2007, We gave PDP 100 percent votes and lost 76 oil wells to our neighbouring state, Akwa Ibom.

In 2011 we gave PDP 100 percent votes and lost the bid to reclaim Bakassi.

That's in 16 years, we benefit the minister of environment( less than three years) Justice (less than a year, I stand to be corrected) power( less than a year) Culture(less than a year).

But in 2014, we denied APC, stadium, Cultural center for campaign, and a head teacher of primary school gave them their small open, watering field, In 2015 we gave him 0.55 percent votes and benefits this much:

1. A Minister of Niger Delta.
2. Chairman of NDDC.
3.Special Adviser on Prosecution
4. Head of service to the federation.
5. Chief Justice of the federation
6. Auditor general of Nigeria.
7. Chief of Naval Staff
8. Chairman Lottery Commission
9. Over 20 chairmen and of federal Universities and polytechnics and colleges of education in Nigeria.
10. Our only federal road that was a Death trap rehabilitated.
11. Our state headquarters linked in the recent map of rail way.
12. Thousands of our unemployed sons daughters benefiting from Npower program and our primary school pupils who can't afford Snacks to school are now been fed daily etc.

The God that I worship and posterity won't forgive me if I don't reciprocate this kind gesture.
Thanks so much.

Shelumiel:
I do know why Muslims keep playing victims when I come to issues like this. In southern and eastern Nigeria, freedom of worship is given to each and every person (so long as it is within the confines of the norms of the people living there ). But you cannot see that in Northern Nigeria . An example is Katsina: You will hardly , I repeat , hardly see a church in Katsina . In fact , most churches are located within the barracks of soldiers or policemen . This evil trend should stop if we are to call ourselves "one Nigeria ".

Likewise the same scenario in Eastern part of Nigeria. Abia is a good example as there are only two mosques in Umuahia

Cyberl33t:
I don't think any sane person wants Buhari as a president anymore!!

He should just retire in peace...

Just as no sane person will want PDP back.

ariesbull:
But this same person stopped Lagos metro about 30 yrs ago....when would yoruba be political wise

Now they are enjoying Abuja metro









The presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, Gen Muhammadu Buhari, has said he cancelled the proposed Lagos metro rail line project that was initiated by the government of Alhaji Lateef Jakande because he did not want to take more loans or devalue the naira.

And he has been in power for the last 30 years. What stop other istrations to do it?

MisterGrace:
Two Christian governors convicted while the muslim ones jolly about.

We know your plans so that they won't help their people separate from you "if" the separation move finally materializes.

I pity the Christians in Kaduna, Jos, Bauchi, Adamawa, Maiduguri and other core northern states.

Maybe the money was stolen from muslim state.

Ganiyat72:
This present pope is more or less a political pope. I'm a Muslim but I can authoritatively tell u that all Muslim terrrorism aka jihad.

This trash cannot come out from a true Muslim because u don't really know the concept of Jihad.

Justice28:
Wether electronic voting machine or not, Buhari is going out come 2019.
You can't just wake up and call hard working Nigeria Youths Lazy and go scourt free. Mtcheew

You are among the lazy youths and that is the statement is still hurting you.

BafanaBafana:
They could have made the bridge shorter and saved a lot of money.

You may be right but u have to consider the amount of money to be paid as compensation to the house owners on that land.

Cutehector:
Since buhari entered office, evil has been befalling Nigerians... Don't know if anyone has observed?

Is he the person making way for the Antichrist to come?

Have u also noticed that there is no more falling of trailers.

ofeco:
PMB always criticised obj, Musa and GEJ istrations for being undemocratic and corrupt but he keeps using their policies and actions as precedent. that means is not different from them.

Has any president seek NA approval since ECA was opened by Obj?

Skmoda360:
no be this woman dey lead protest for the release of chibok girls up and down early last year or thereabout.....em don give her cash...lobatan!!!

Because u are only interested in hearing negative things about the president.

anyimontana:
With his NEPA certificate,meaning he graduated as a nepa staff,I don't think your husband pa buhari knows the meaning of the word "accolades"

Present ur best certificate and see where it will take u to.

Drnice2:
Did U notice anything in that pic? They are not walking side-to-side unlike the way Trump welcome other Leaders. Sure, they will both talk as friends cos it's unprofessional to snub his guest, but deep inside Trump he's furious about Jubril.

Continue wailing because u are only interested in negativity.

Aldebaran:

I hope he won't tell Trump that Nigerian yoots are LAZY this time

Only the lazy ones are pained by the president statement.

ClintonEmex:
It's a political propaganda and if Buhari likes, let him build bridges in all the big rivers in Nigeria; he'll be defeated and sent back to Daura.

What if it happens the other way? Then u will be in state of depression for another 4 years
