The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has shut down the Short
Messaging Service (SMS) platform which the Buhari-Osinbajo Presidential
Campaign Fundraising Committee launched two days ago to raise funds for
its campaign.
Gov. Fashola, who is the the Director of the Committee, disclosed this to newsmen today. He said the party had on Tuesday January 20th launched 5 platforms for party members to donate to its campaign fund, one of which was to use the SMS code 35350 which would be activated on some networks.

He said immediately after the party announced the launch of the platforms, NCC issued a letter to telecoms operators “not to carry political messages” thereby shutting down the SMS platform.
"It is with very deep sadness that I address you all today, because I never expected that I will witness in Nigeria some of the very distasteful and disgraceful conduct that the Federal Government, the PDP and the President have embarked upon, by way of repression of freedoms. I mentioned the commercial nature of the transactions we had with the businesses who were partnering with us and the benefits to the economy. I also stated very clearly that these businesses had no partisan relationship but are providing professional service. I said so, in order to protect their businesses because of the increasing intolerance we were witnessing from the Jonathan and PDP Presidential campaign and some Federal Government agencies that have taken a partisan position”, the Governor explained.Gov Fashola said the action of the NCC and by extension the PDP was a clear signal of dark clouds gathering over Nigeria
"Dear compatriots, there are dark clouds gathering, but I remain optimistic that they will yield to a glorious dawn. The promise of Nigeria is greater than the ambition of one man or a political party" he said

And the more apc sends der foot soldiers to throw stones and harass our self respecting president, the more pity we'll have for him? We all know GEJ will win again. Fashola codedly warned us not to vote Buhari cos he's old blive me. I would gave voted for Fashola or sule lamido. As for me I'll say let GEJ win so dat by 2019 it will be back to business as in party against party instead of this North/south west against the rest of nigeria which is seriously threatening our unity as a nation! By 2019 APC and PDP should produce northern candidates that way both parties will have to seek support from all over the nation than. Each party would fight to gave supporters from Igboebisi, hays as, Yorubas and all other tribes, Christians, Moslems, that is the only way this country can remain united.
OnPoint
You see am? And he's here forming hollier dan thou.
Gej's campaign is ongoing on the same platform...its obvious PDP has bribed NCC. too bad
Nwa snowy do you know your history! You want to vote Buhari okwa ya? Why dud Buhari put Ekwueme Vice President in kirikiri while he put shagari president under house arrest? You really do not know how much this man gates bios/ Christians. He's old and probably senile so if given another chance Lord help us!
Election election
Iti! NCC does not allow PDP or APC to campaign using der services get it?? Don't be a follower use ur brain. All d thief sin PDP left to join dem in APC so why do dey need to extort more money from their poor supporters? atiku, tiny u and obasanjo can do it for dem of would you have donated??
Thank you my sister! Chukwu gozie gi.
Fashola shut up, when LASSA did not allow PDP to pest posters did they say anything? LASSA just sued PDP for pasting posters around lagos,
Are you that prophet with the ability to see what you think is the future?
A beg say something else jor
That's d same treatment fashola mets out to jimi agbaje in lagos and prevents him from enacting campaign bill boards. What goes around surely do come around. Lawyer my ass
Don't mind d idiot. He thinks he is d only person that can abuse his office
Okpo, mana afa gi bu Chinedu
Are u for real. Good job for wat? U r talkin abt free n fair but dey r being partisan. Hmm this election will cause something worst in this country if care is not taken.
That's the problem...Now they are all eyeing PDP...If not 4 Doyin Okupe and Reno Omokiri that are just doing wat no one send dem am sure there would be peace amongst both parties,u will see that @ d end of it all diz pple would leave Jona
Which school did you attend or are you still in one? What is definition of free and fair when one is using power to suppress the other... think before you type next time.
*take this magical slap* you need your brain to be reformatted to see what even a blind man can see clearly
Wen they used LASSA against pdp in lagos nobody heard their voice mtcheeeewww
Support na busy body.
I like what was done...APC don't want people to have rest of mind,must everything be politics? imagine someone expecting his/her salary alert by all means and the rubbish text come in what do you think the person will say? If am the one I will swear 4 dem all naked nonsense. They have the money to be sending Sms they can't convert that Sms to money or recharge card and send to people atleast it's another means of touching lives from far. Mad people Fashola d Educated fool dey dea dey speak grammar wey pson no snd am. Am not against any party neither am I supporting any...Quietly sitting on the wall.

I was surprised to see that MTN now campaigns for APC through their network platform.

Chai Bonario, it really is a pity that you want to be a party to an obvious plan for Islamization of this country. Don't let your thumb dig your grave.
Story for d gods
THIS WHEEL OF CHANGE WITH START IN YOUR FAMILY. BUHARI WILL COME AND RULE YOUR FAMILY. FOOL
Which dirty wheel of change. Buhari produced a certificate with a total of 21 subjects for WAEC. Pls which WAEC is that one? Even junior WAEC no reach 21 subjects. If change means Tinubu and Atiku are lurking in the shadows behind him, Omo you have just spelt doom for yourself
He's Tinubu's puppet. The biggest thief is that Ambode. Chai, I feel bad for ppl falling for this scam
Stupidity is your middle name. If not you would know that in every country you raise campaign funds from the masses!
YoU should shut up. So everude Nigerian will be able to attend one fund raising event?? Or have the time to pay into bank account? Please reason be for you speak
You're a very smart child. I wish I have money to.dash you for this comment. My sister and I said same thing before I saw your comment. It's funny that APC are not concerning themselves with bringing PDP or GEJ down through dirty and silly means. They're keeping it classy, not because they don't have dirt or secrets ooo. During PDP rallies, all you hear is Buhari this, APC that. Really sad and pathetic. Sigh. Sai Buhari
Face of a thief and liar. If it doesn't cost millions of pounds then it costs what? Keep on deceiving yourself. Why does he want to be president by all means? Abeg, this his corruption anthem Na just boju boju. Buhari and his cohorts are just as corrupt.
God bless u beta pikin
You're another smart child. Bless you baby.
You are heartful.if dere is any word like dat
As in eh! Let be wise, networks don't carry political messages!or is pdp doing it and denied them? That write up above is just to get people's sympathy .
NO POSTPONEMENT, ELECTION MUST HOLD!
POWER ABUSE
Nice comment
Thank u for this mature comment. You will live long!
What's your proof idiot
Baseless crap
Fashola is not lying, Ap needs funds, is not like Jonathan they raise 21billion plus for, that what we saying, pdp are sentimental and stupid, u can't expect Apc to raise fund the way pdp did, moreover most of you commenting on this blog , have you guys gotten ur PVC?
Shut the fuck up .... compare the content of that story to this.... full
GEJ we know, GEJ we want. Buhari we totally reject. Fashola, what you are doing to Jimi Agbaje is being done to Buhari. #GELtill2019.
No it's just pure wisdom that you lack
Fund raising is fund raising ... can't remember anything like an informal fun rausing ..... all I see in your sentences is hate hate hate ... hater
All I see is your support for PDP don't be ashamed to support d party you want to na ...... you just saying its both APC and PDP to be on a neutral side loool
As far as the service is paid for I see no wrong doing in that ..... they re private companies
You're an ungrateful motherfucker .... I can't believe anyone would open his or her mouth and say BS about fasholas time as the Lagos state governor go to Europe and live there .... mad person
You're just a sick tribalist ... go seat your ass somewhere
All I see is people talking BS concerning this especially many tribalistic people
Up GEJ, pdp will surely win,,,,enough of the blabinsssssssssssss.
This election must hold
See Linda Fashola is MAD , who is he talking to now, which one be SMS, make they hold meeting raise money na, chai me + vote never i dey craze?. abeg God bless you linda post my comment jare
The country shouldn't be about one tribe or the otherothermost....... a person had six years to rule our beloved country and many of you just deem it fit he goes another extra four years ?????!!!! I mean were you all brainwashed or something well I don't blame you most of you just want it to be someone from your tribe whether he does good or evilevil.... Nigeria is sick ..... the northerners should just go and the biaphrans should follow soot cos its all a combination or crazies in this Nigeria
Everything that goes wrong now is PDP,how long can APC continue to play victim? It's funny that you can dish it out but you can't take it.
We need peace in our country Nigeria. Vote GEJ 2015
Fashola, am so disappointed in you, you a hypocrite. If am GEJ i will make sure that APC will go no where the same way you are treating AGBAJE, You use LASAA to deny him publicity, your policies are criminally minded for the rich. You are a toy to Tunubu, always crying for something but has a destructive and selfish motive in your dealing, you will soon come down and all your evil will be exposed
GOD will help Agbaje to will this state.
How cowardly can PDP get? Must Jonathan go this far? If you did well in your office, you won't be getting so worked up! If you like engage all the govt agencies against APC, change will surely come in Feb 2015
PdP and APC are both stupid and foolish at the same time, but the most useless one is Apc and its accumulation of Stuarts all around Lagos. Fuck u all......
How does that affect the free and fair election before??
okay
God bless you
Hypocrisy...
Fashola can't work with GEJ... He doesn't like ibos!
They stopped PDP my dear..which led to them doing it by force and haphazardly
Good job NCC. Why would apc do such a thing? If dey ddont have money, dey should just back off.
For me, it GEJ all d way
Tank God ncc stopped dem ohh apc.apc wants to steal people's money ohh.hmmm netwrk providers subscribe for ppl n steal without customers consent n APC wan use me shine.tank God ohhh.if dey need support their members go d secetrait n contribute.bonario ur just ranting APC APC but u no no ur sectarian lol.NCC una do well ohh taught dey ve sold buhari recharge cards n yam de money still never do lol
Lol.....una sabi
GEJ all the way till 2015
The Nigerians know their mode of operation,even the people in the village had made up their mind on where they are going,certificate or no certificate,block sms or no block sms,Is GMB all the way.But let me say this for record purpose,the so called NCC don't block or make comment when some ANONYMOUS numbers are calling campaigning for GEJ and PDP.My question is this where did they get my number from and that of some people who they called?Do they enter into contract with tha mobile network providers just as that of the APC,or they clone or use the power of incumbency to get it from INE???We should be just in our ways,GEJ Govt and PDP as a party isn't just,even their Party leadership made same statement recently.Any unjust leaders will be removed with our mandate in this coming election.Those who are still intoxicated with The PDP dose of lies should better wake up.
When Apc started all this nonsense, you where sleeping.
Fashola should keep his dirty mouth shut. Is the money they are collecting for Lekki Toll gates and the new Ikoyi toll gate not enough for them? Lagosians pay the highest tax in Nigeria. People are also paying for using television and radio. Landlord are paying for Land Use Charge. LASAA and LASTMA are exploiting the masses in Lagos indiscriminately. All the projects institutions that are set up by Fashola are just for their own selfish benefits. Now he wants people to be sending their hard-earned money to support Buhari. Wicked exploitation ever. Hmm...l sorry for Nigeria in the hands of APC. Vote wisely...vote Jonathan.

Remember change can be Negative too
Bye Felicia (Badluck Jona) sai FeBuhari 2015

APC want to hack NCC....bt OGA JONA no go allow dem..We need Someone like Jonathan in the sit. JONATHAN JONATHAN JONATHAN
APC should go and hide
@Andrew Malaete, Please can you explain how this will cause problems for these telecoms industries? I guess you are the one who has not applied common sense and reasoning in your comment. Sit back and think again then rephrase.
Vote GEJ and stop violence
GEJ...... we are with you
Vote GEJ and stop violence
Vote GEJ and stop violence
And the embezzlement of land by Tinubu, Fashola and their cronies? Is that not cash equivalent. Please don't throw stones when you live in a glass house. Who is funding Buhari's campaign? Lagos state IGR (otherwise known as taxes paid by hardworking Lagos residents) and the poor people in Rivers State. So shut that trap!
Yes but not with thieves like Fashola, Tinubu and Amaechi.
shouldn't Telecom companies be allowed to take money and do as they please ? not sure I get the point of shutting that down
Imagine useless pple will prefer to send those codes to support a campaign while many are there wandering and suffering in the boko haram War-Abiding zone... selfish
So NCC has the power to shutdown SMS messages,yet never deemed it fit to caution operators agaainst the unsolicited and distracting SMS messages they irritate us with despite the outcry.Shame on them if truly they are guilty as alleged.
KUDOS for NCC! this is to show that APC is involved in some conspiracy to deceive Nigerians! #GEJ4naija
this is pure extortion of the masses! and they have the guts to call GEJ a corrupt leader, they must be referring to themselves! #GEJ4naija
Once an aboki, always an aboki. They don't know anything.
I live abroad and have done so for many years. My family is wealthy and are not affected by the corruption and incompetence of GEJ and his cabinet. I've decided to not try to enlighten Nigerians about the the horrors they will face if they by some moronic machination re - elect this weak zombie of a man. Nigerians go ahead and support him. You all deserve the mess you're in. You live in a country where bombs are dropped at least twice a week but cannot hold your president to account. Your homes, offices and schools will be bomb sites. You will beg in Chad like the former indigenous of Baga. You will live in constant fear and you will love it.
What is the NCC saying about PDP offering Oyo state voters the realisation of an Ibadan state if they vote in their favour?
People will always slander the goodluck movement .. But for this buhari apc movement.. I don't tend to see any hope for this country .. Buhari youve had your chance to make this country a better place .. What did you do with it ??? Nigerians and sourcing out goodluck for every problem in the country .. How would expect change.. ?? Change first starts from the little common man .. Fighting like dogs all in the name of politcs.. Fashola the man with the words ... Everyone seems to know alot about you .. Buhari you dont have to be a president before you help you country in your own way .. Nigeria needs change..
