Very poor attention to details from a presidential media handle. How can Lokoja-Abuja road, Benue-9th Mile, Bama-Dikwa road and Maiduguri-Damaturu road be listed under Northwest project? It's called stats padding and dishonesty. Besides, these are all Buhari’s projects and next to nothing have been added to these projects by Tinubu. Nepotism is one he'll of a drug and it shows no Northerner is among the media aides of the president. No wonder they schemed Ajuri Ngelale out.

Even the Southwest projects listed there dishonestly excluded Lagos when the whole outcry is about Lagos and the skewness of projects in the first place. Or do we all now agree that Lagos is no-mans-land

Lol. Embarrassing. There is usually panic from the villa boys whenever Elrufai makes an appearance on TV. They may deny it but it has happened time after time. This was an attempt at damage control and to show that the President has not been biased in favour of Lagos. It was a PR disaster and it failed woefully.

Enice:
No! They're not scared of him. They've already seen his endgame! He wants to be arrested. They'll now say he was saying the truth that was why he was arrested to silence him. His already arranged scammers like obi, and the rest, will now come out to protest his release.
As the saying goes, you ignore an idiot! You don't join issues with him.

Lol. They are not meant to arrest him, we are not in a dictatorship. They should rather sue him if they think he's lying. We have seen Ribadu threaten many with lawsuits in the past, e.g Kano state deputy governor and Hajiya Na'ajatu Muhammed.

seunmsg:
So, where will Peter Obi now run to for 2027 ticket?

Quoted again for posterity. These madness that you Southwesterners are enabling and applauding in a bid to have Tinubu run unopposed will come back to haunt you. The madness of an election that took place in Rivers over the weekend is reminiscent of the worst years of PDP but you are fine with it. Posterity is not on your side and Tinubu will still not win his re-election in 2027. Buhari is clearly a better leader and democrat than Tinubu can ever hope to be.

Elrufai has said he has evidence and dared them to disprove him. He should have been sued instead of this watery rebuttal but they wouldn't dare. Elrufai always published monthly security incident report as governor of Kaduna, hence why it always seemed like insecurity was rife. He never paid media houses to suppress news as is obviously now the case. He ran an open government and everything was transparent. The current one is a master of propaganda and paying social media influencers to peddle lies and disinformation and do image laundering. Case in point, the 300-bed specialist hospital in Kaduna state commissioned by Tinubu that has turned out to be a ruse with rented ambulences and hospital equipment. There are several others.

Agbadorians are now recycling months old news to further their propaganda. Lol. When the coast is clear for Obi to be President, he will run for 2 terms.

gassbee:
What is giving elrufai this confidence that tinubu wil not win this election

Lol. The numbers are there for the deeply discerning. Tinubu cannot win the election in 2027 even if he rigs. He has no pathway to victory. Just wait till late 2026 and watch as events unfold.

micxwell:
If God says he is coming back there NOTHING can stop him.

But he isn't relying on God. He's actively laying the foundation in place to rig the election come 2027 but he'll be disappointed. Was it God that made Tinubu and Wike declare over 2 million votes in the Rivers LG election that the people of Rivers boycotted?

The Op is clearly a paid hack for Mattawale, the Defence Minister but ironically, he seems not to know that the insecurity is an indictment on his paymaster. Are governors now in charge of security or is the insecurity in Zamfara now being politicised by those who should be solving them just to gain cheap political points?

Nothing to see here. It's Reno Omokri, the pen-for-hire and attack dog. In the end, it's just a morally bankrupt man trying to feed. I guess the end justifies the means. Spits.

"...within a month..."

Try to understand when statements are in context. You guys are always so eager to tackle yourselves that you end up not even assimilating what you want to tackle.

Oh, so it's okay for a mentee to go rogue and betray his mentor as long as it isn't within a month? Tinubu’s own is okay because his mentees didn't betray him within a month. Okay.

epainos:
ElRufai is a terrible mentor since his mentee went rouge within a month after Elrufai leaves office. It says so much. Yet, he is still calling such his mentee.

The following Tinubu's mentees also went rogue according to you lots. Osinbajo, Ambode, Aregbesola, Fayemi, Sanwo-olu, etc. The difference is that you lot termed them betrayers instead of calling Tinubu a terrible mentor as you are now doing. Hypocrisy.

tfelicityk:
He can never addressed him as same mentee. He will still called him Mr. Governor or Your Excellency sir.

Are you sure? Fubara was a betrayer to you lot but Uba Sani is a hero for doing the same to his boss. Continue. With Fubara, Tinubu had to forcefully intervene by declaring a State of Emergency in Rivers and empowering Wike to conduct a shambolic election all in the guise of structure. But the same Tinubu is openly encouraging Uba Sani and even engineered the rift between them. Yet you wonder why no one takes you all seriously.

abiolert2:
Maybe na your community people come vote , if you get mind , tell me the area you for vote make I expose your lies this minute, Una go dey complain about politicians and pastors for this country but you see our greatest problems na from unserious youths like you.

You are arguing with someone perched somewhere in a dingy hut in Ogbomosho. It's sad seeing how the SW is trading national goodwill for one man who only has his selfish interest as priority. Just look at what they are rationalising all in the guise of he's my tribal man.

Adetunde876:
It's obvious Tinubu will win or why the constant shouting on social media.

Once Tinubu wins El Rufai should just retire at his village.

The only people saying Tinubu will win on social media always have names sounding like yours. Ever asked yourself why?

zero8zero:
After the last LG election in Kaduna and ADC came last..

Of course. We all saw how APC came first in yesterday's LG election in Rivers state. Why not go ahead and swear Tinubu in then? Lol.

Because unless betrayed, the words of a Northerner is bond. It was payback.

Dead on arrival. Is Tinubu running a "Southern" government or a Lagos-centric government? The same North you seek to vilify gave Tinubu 5.6m votes to make him president. The South didn't vote Tinubu. He only won 4 states in the Southwest plus Rivers state under questionable circumstances. By 2027, nothing much will change in the South but there will be no 5.6m Northern votes.

Ttalk:
El Rufai I know you are regretting your actions

But you can never go back o

It's already too late o

Lol. Tinubu has no pathway to reelection. It will become clearer heading into 2027. Just wait and see.

The paid articles are now on overdrive. None of these shenanigans will save you come 2027.

BATified2023:
so u people still believe a governor only has one vote?

Why didn't Hope Uzodinma and David Umahi deliver their state to Tinubu in 2023? They won their reelection comfortably yet lost their states in the presidential to Peter Obi. Care to explain why?

Lol. The jokes write themselves. Opeifa, another uncouth a.reaboy and product of n.epostism under who's watch trains are derailing. Tinubu has the most overbloated cabinet in the history of the country but filled with so much incompetence. I thought they sold him as having the ability to identify talents during the electioneering campaign? This goes to show that he was only claiming the legacies of others who did the hardwork.

RealityKings1:
I don't see them sitting anywhere close to the ballot boxes since that's where they were posted.
Can you show me?

Continue to bury your head in the sand. The people of Rivers State boycotted the sham of an election.

What good is structure if the people are not with you? The people of Rivers State boycotted yesterday's election in a clear message to Wike and Tinubu. You can't buy love neither can you copy respect.

With Fubara and his men abstaining from yesterday's election, the peace between Wike and Fubara is akin to that of a graveyard. Tinubu still has his work cut out for him in the Southsouth.

yarimo:
keep fooling yourself by snapping picture before official time

Lol. Can you kindly share the ones taken during "official time"? We are yet to see the result from even one polling unit even though the APC was the only party on the ballot. They are still doctoring the figures. Embarassing. By the way, neither Fubara nor any of his allies turned up to vote during the sham of an election. Is that a sign of things to come? Tinubu had better extend the State of Emergency. It's not looking good for Tinubu in the entire Southsouth right now. Forget the defections and declaration of state of emergencies. The coast is still not clear yet for Tinubu, even in the South.

yarimo:
Everyone in rivers state is very happy to have WIKE as minister

True. They showed their happiness by coming out enmass to vote for Wike and his selected appointees during the LG election overseen by the military sole administrator imposed upon them by Tinubu.

helinues:
I asked again, is Wike the RO? You are too emotional for political discussion jare

Helinues, Wike may not be the RO but he singlehandedly appointed the RO. Tell him to tell the RO to release the results. After the edits of course. This was how polling units were like during the election. Rivers people spoke out loud and clear. I thought you all claimed that Tinubu has the Southsouth on lockdown? Tinubu only has half of his Southwestern base in his grip. He has no pathway to re-election.

This was how happy the people of Rivers State were and this was how they identified with the election. Wike is fast running out of leverages and needs the SOE lifted even more than Fubara. He's under immense pressure.

In one breadth the police claimed Elrufai brought thugs to attack himself and in the same breadth, claim the matter is still under investigation. State institutions are becoming partisan and compromised. This is a dangerous turn of events under a clearly desperate despot. Kaduna is a very fragile and volatile state and this should not be happening. The right to assemble is a constitutional right that should be protected and respected.
