How many votes did Wike rig for him in the 2023 elections? 270k. If he supports Fubara as it is now he will get close to a million in 2027.

Kobicove:
I'm not sure you fully understand how politics works in this country

What of the Dangote truck driver that killed Phyna's sister and her Okada rider? Have they prosecuted him?

Buccalcavity2:
All over the world drivers are responsible for traffic offenses....not thier hirer.

Most people at gun point will agree to almost anything just to keep breathing. Save yourself first and think clearly. Decisions are not cast in stone. They can be changed, especially bad ones.

brain54:
Fishing for sentiments...

Did you agree or did you agree not to give anyone 35% of rivers money at any point?

You can't fool all the people all the time!

What did he do wrong? Did he at any time refer to Wike? He only addressed the south south deputy chairman that it was wrong to refer to the governor and APC member as "so called governor". How's that an issue with Wike?

FreeStuffsNG:
Both sides should end up serving the political interests of his party. With this, he's throwing his hat into Wike- Futura feud and how does it serve the political interests of his party?

He should be consolidating on what Fayose exposed about Makinde instead of getting into Rivers political roforofo.

Rivers case is a peculiar case and he didn't show deft at all. Will he dare call then Governor Ladoja the political head when Pa Adedibu was alive? Or will he rate Gov. Abiodun over Pa Ọṣọba because Abiodun is Governor?


Even in his Ọsun state, was Governor Adeleke accepted as the political head of PDP before he was pushed to Accord. He is not playing the politics well and may cost him.

This is not his political battle and Wike is right to suggest he has been bribed.

It's actually a checkmate. They want Magnus to be his own man and stop asslicking frog voice. A busy man will mind his business.

AMINDA:
Just imagine! Magnus Abe? Is this a way of pacifying Wike or checkmating him? Serious institutions of state are now been used to curry favour and settle political debts, all because of the desperation and inordinate ambition of one man? All I see is panic.

Do you know what a party Congress means? Wait till after the APC party elective convention.

busterr:
Fubara is the most stuuuuuupeeeeed politician I know
He rushed to APC, now he won’t even be having support of people and APC people too
Another person will win, Rivers will go back to PDP

The only thing dangerous about Wike is the support he gets from the federal government. Check the trajectory of his politics. How many votes did he even deliver to Tinubu in 2023 that we won't hear word again? 270,000 votes. Now go and check the votes from Rivers state in previous elections.
Wike is breathing his last politically.

AMINDA:
Tinubu’s fate in the Southsouth will be sealed depending on how he handles the Wike-Fubara matter. He currently thinks he has both camps because Wike and Fubara appear to be supporting him but he would lose the support of one of the camps as soon as he picks a side. My money is on him to ditch Fubara because a desperate Wike with his back against the wall is a dangerous Wike. Tinubu would want none of that smoke.

On what grounds are they going to impeach him this time? Rather wike should be worried about his position in Abuja.

LottiOk:
Who are the delegates that'll vote for him in the APC guber primaries ⁉️

How and where will he get from nds to lobby delegates when wike's RHA members would scrutinize and close all avenues for him to use state funds for such purposes⁉️

Who in Rivers APC can outspend Wike in lobbying delegates ⁉️

Who'll trust him to win again knowing that he'll betray them and renege and n their agreement like he did to his political godfather Wike ⁉️

You guys should be realistic for once and stop reasoning like little kids, it's time to wake up to Reality and stop all these beer parlor rethorics and stop decieving yourselves and Fubara.
If you are close to him and he listens to you, better tell him to go make peace with Wike cos if he doesn't he might not escape another impeachment saga that'll remove him from even going for the APC guber primaries.

Insults, curses and vilify Wike all you want but it won't stop the Reality that he the current political godfather of Rivers and he gets what he wants and doesn't mind fighting dirty for it.

Keep your liking to yourself. What would you have him do? Remain in labor party where they keep insulting him after helping them to massive victories in 2023, with all the leadership squabbles going on there? So that at the last minute INEC will say he was not validly nominated.

kpakpakpa:
This man is slowly becoming desperate for my liking.
I don't see anyone winning in 2027 but Tinubu, if you like you can continue spending your looted money upandan

When meritocracy was the order of the day. Not now that quota system has destroyed the nation. Anything done on merit the Igbo can never be behind.

ShopRite in Delta particularly Asaba has closed. There are alternatives live Everyday, Roban, Gabs, Town square, Market square etc.

kedeojo:
There are many other supermarket offering same services and closer to the people now. Jendor at ajah which open early this year has reduced the custormers in both lekki and sangotedo. ShopRite is still bubbling in state where there are no or little competition. edo state and delta state is a classical example. shoprite outlet in Lagos is not more than ten in Lagos but the likes of Boku, Justrite, Jendor and others has over hundred outlets.

And now almost 100years later the people that wore clothes and suits in the 1930s are now squatting across bridge railings to shit into the lagoon while those who those who covered with banana leaves back then now wears designers and live like kings in luxurious mansions. Thank God o.

Richtaiwo:
In 1930, some people were covering their unclothedness with banana leaves.

I won't mention, they know themselves.

So you believe Lere the camera man.

DeLaRue:
The man also comes across as politically naive.

You have a Governor in the same party as you in neighbouring Osun, yet you did not support his re-election

It is amazing how power makes people lose sight of reality.

This Governor doesn't command any support outside Oyo State.

Nobody knows him in Lagos, Ondo, Ekiti, and Ogun. If you stop people on the streets of Lagos, or Akure, most of them won't be able to tell you who the Governor of Oyo State is. Even I don't always remember his name.

Yet he thinks it's his turn to contest.

Mr Tinubu was a factor in all 6 Southwestern states for nearly 2 decades before contesting for President.

You obviously did not read the body of the article. The estate is known as Goodluck Jonathan estate just as they have Gowon estate in Lagos.
It doesn't belong to him.

tega192:
I really like this , omo even good luck, this life no balance

Can you count the number of benefactors that wike have betrayed?

AMINDA:
As much as we all want to see Wike get his Karma, Tinubu proves yet again that he only cares about Tinubu. Wike destroyed the PDP on his behalf and requested for only one thing, the Rivers state structure. Yet, Tinubu is now aiming to take that away from him to consolidate on his own re-election. The list of betrayed allies continue to grow. His newfound friends will soon find out. Ganduje is also somewhere licking his wounds, forgotten. He was the darling of Agbadorians just a while ago. Lessons.

Show us Lagos-Benin-Ore road at night too, then we can begin the discussion.

Just like the way you are wasting your life on Nairaland.

yarimo:
ALEX OTTI only mission as governor is to waste tax payers money off abians.

Is it dash? Are other states not receiving?
Oga it's not favor.

DomPerignon:
The governor projected revenue of N83.2 billion from FAAC, N67.1 billion from VAT, N26.5 billion from grants and aid, and N168 billion from other federal channels. Combined internal and external revenue for 2026 is estimated at N607.2 billion, leaving a deficit of N409 billion (40% of the budget), which Otti said will be financed through concessional loans. “We shall borrow only when necessary, and such funds will be deployed exclusively for projects capable of repaying themselves in the medium to long term,” he said.

The entire capital expenditure is from Federal handouts and loans guaranteed by same FG.

And tomorrow their people will come here and say they are being marginalised despite their states being a welfare state hooked to the FG.

Because of re-election.

givedemwotowoto:
Few months later he has denied his own people who are one of the worst hit in recent times.

Who is responsible for Brigadier general M. Uba's death?

fergie001:
Court links Ahmed Gulak's death to the activities and sit-at-home order of the IPoB, whose leader Nnamdi Kanu rightly admits leadership.

Does it matter? A vice principal was butchered and 25 girls kidnapped. We should be talking about putting an end to all forms of killings and terrorism.
Even countries at war have not recorded the kind of horrific casualties and killings as it's seen here.

godliman:
Please those from that axis educate us, was it a Christian dominated community?

Our banking systems are not "start ups" friendly. The interests and pattern of repayment puts pressure on the borrowers and there is hardly a period of morotarium, but then you still have a good point.

SmartPolician:
We are saying the same thing. You need to understand that many Americans you hear their names today borrowed money to start their businesses, ran it at loss for years and never gave up.

Today, their companies are some of the biggest the world. A very good example is Elon Musk. That's why those guys will always be up there - they don't think us. Their investors have a higher risk appetite than we do.

That's why someone said that nothing may happen in 10 years, but 10 years can happen in a week. Experiences shape such quotes.

He meant you should not borrow to start a business. When your business has started showing signs of growth you are free to borrow because by then you have tested the waters and knows what works. Borrowing to fund an untested business and start up is the greatest risk you will ever take.

SmartPolician:
I listened to one speech by Coscharis founder telling his audience not to borrow business money. Instead, they should work hard to make money they would use to start their businesses.

You see, that's the danger of people of old generation advising people of new generation. He still has the mentality of those who go borrowing go sorrowing. He probably didn't know there are thousands of entrepreneurs who built multimillion-dollar companies after raising capital from angel investors and venture capitalists.

NASCO or nothing. Or are my generation not here?

You think Pentagon and CIA are not already using satellite and local intels to monitor suspicious movements?

SenatorCharles1:
Too much of talk and threats will give enough time for the terrorists to relocate to other locations even to the southern part of Nigeria. They should have invaded by now and start killing the bandits before announcing their intentions. Osama Bin Laden was taken out without much talk.

These terrorists may even go as far as kidnapping a whole village or community to use as human shields against any imminent strike

The sponsors of these terrorists are trying hard to confuse Tinubu under the false guide of only God knows what, to allow for more time to re-strategies and move bandits to more hidden locations.

Is Reno Monkiri aware of this?

saintopus:
Well, é no surprise me atall, anyway wetin shock me na countries like Russia also being in the list.

Exactly. The comment I wanted to make. But the Delta government are not developmentally creative. They don't know how to woo investors.

Cleanmouth:
They should relocate to Asaba or Agbor na. Lagos will be too far.

Read again. Mathematics used to be compulsory for all students. Now it's no longer a compulsory subject for Art students.

Justseyii:
Exactly, nothing changed

And that is why you are still "nothing"

meditator:
Oga I rather be a Deji than Obi

Will you keep quiet?

TimeManager:
It seems we are forgetting a very important part of this whole process. The President did not singlehandedly approve the pardon. A Presidential committee was inaugurated from across the spectrum and they came up with recommendations which were submitted to the council of state for approval.
Unfortunately, some people read only to comment and get likes but not to understand for future reference. This goes to show the level of our educational systems, producing graduates who are quick to talk but slow to understanding.

-Kiss the truth!

Is it not obvious? You are jealous. What you term arrogance is the everyday natural confidence of the Igbo man.

mascot87:
Oga,no one is jealous of you. I just don't like your arrogant nature. Why would I be jealous of someone I am better than. Rest

39? Hmmn. Anyways Happy birthday to the lyrical genius.
