The price was fixed at the party’s national executive committee (NEC) meeting.


“I, Hon. Aminu Suleiman (D.G TSO) would like to officially state that I have signed a cheque to the tune of 100 million Naira, for the purchase of nomination and expression of interest form for our Leader @officialABAT. God bless,” he tweeted.

“I am a businessman. I mean well for my country. Asiwaju Tinubu’s ambition is in national interest. We are doing this for Nigeria, ” he said in an interview with The Nation.


Suleiman described the former governor of Lagos State as the best aspirant in the party, stressing that he is endowed with an uncanny capacity, wisdom, experience and competence.


Suleiman said many Nigerians were rooting for Tinubu because he is a bridge builder,  patriot and believer in national unity.


He said Tinubu is acceptable to most Nigerians because of what he has to offer in terms of leading the country to the horizon of progress.


Suleiman recalled that he threatened to sue Tinubu, if he refused to throw his hat in the ring. He said:”Asiwaju is a man of immense capacity. He is the best aspirant. He has exposure.


Tinubu is one of the frontline runners for the ruling party’s presidential ticket.


Hon,. Suleiman added “Our problems are insecurity, economy, fiscal policy. He will rebuild Nigeria. He will continue from where President Muhammadu Buhari will stop.”


Suleiman hailed the President and the national leadership of the ruling party for promising a level playing field for aspirants.


He also hailed the decision to choose the standard bearer through indirect mode at the primary.


The TSO Director General said more Nigerians have enlisted in the vanguard for progress because Tinubu is the symbol.


He said the former governor is acceptable to the North because he has build an enduring bridge of understanding across tribes.


Suleiman said: “We from the North appreciate what Tinubu has done for Buhari. We need to pay him back. He has done so much. We need to pay him back.”


Urging the Southwest to unite behind Tibubu, he added: “Southwest should wake up. You lost Awolowo, MKO Abiola also lost. Osinbajo should not divide the Southwest.  He should support his leader. You don’t bite the finger that has fed you.”


We @edge don’t feel Osinbajo is biting any fingers here, we feel he is expressing his fundamental human right enshrined in our constitution to freely seek elective office is part of that right.  


Suleiman applauded Tinubu’s temperament, particularly his forgiving spirit and sense of accommodation and tolerance, stressing that he is accessible, loyal, generous and prepared for betrayal.


But the former Lagos governor is up against Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, David Umahi, governor of Ebonyi; Chris Ngige, minister of labour; Yahaya Bello, governor of Kogi; Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation, among others, for the APC ticket.


Earlier at the party’s NEC meeting on Wednesday, President Muhammadu Buhari had warned against the imposition of candidates.


“I enjoin you all to follow due process in all the party processes and more importantly to develop more mechanisms against corruption,” the president had said.


“I call on all party members to abide by all extant laws, rules, and regulations and to leaders of our party to avoid imposition of candidates that cannot win popular elections.

“This dictatorial behaviour cost us many strategic seats in the past. In the recent past this led to some of our strong members unfortunately opting to go elsewhere because of unfairly oppressive behaviour of party leaders at state level.”

Could President Trump issue an executive order to abolish birthright citizenship?

-
Image
President Donald Trump’s recent claims that he has the authority to end birthright citizenship through an executive order have sparked a heated debate. However, most constitutional scholars argue that such an action would be unconstitutional and likely to face legal challenges. *The 14th Amendment* The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1868, explicitly states that “all persons born or naturalised in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside” ¹. This amendment was initially intended to grant citizenship to recently freed slaves, but it has also been interpreted to confer birthright citizenship on anyone born on American soil. *Supreme Court Precedents* The Supreme Court has consistently upheld the birthright citizenship provision of the 14th Amendment in numerous cases. In United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), the court ruled that a child born in the United States to Chin...

FIRST INAUGURAL ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU 29 MAY 2023 THE NIGERIAN IDEAL My Fellow Citizens,   I stand before you honoured to assume the sacred mandate you have given me. My love for this nation is abiding. My confidence in its people, unwavering. And my faith in God Almighty, absolute. I know that His hand shall provide the needed moral strength and clarity of purpose in those instances when we seem to have reached the limits of our human capacity.   This day is bold and majestic yet bright and full of spirit, as is our precious nation.   As a nation, we have long ago decided to march beyond the dimness of night into the open day of renewed national hope.   The question we now ask ourselves is whether to remain faithful to the work inherent in building a better society or retreat into the shadows of our unmet potential.   For me, there is but one answer. We are too great a nation and too grounded as a people to rob ourselves of our finest destiny. ...
