Tenses: Wike erroneously thinks he will only be victimised in PO and Atiku government but he should know that if tinubu returns he will be incapacitated and cut to size.
Sheriff was right about the political jobber who has been lucky so far in his lootocracy career.
anonimi: No room for Wike, Fayose in PDP again —Sheriff
Also reacting to the judgment, its apparent beneficiary, Senator Sheriff, vowed to put in place a machinery that would not give room to people like Governors Nyesom Wike and Ayodele Fayose of Rivers and Ekiti states, respectively in any future arrangement in the party.
“I will engineer a restructuring of PDP such that characters like Wike and Fayose cannot find a way through to attain any position of prominence in our party in the future. They have brought shame and agony through the application of their crude and godless politics which is at variance with the principles upon which our founding fathers built our great party.
“We must find a way to sieve things so that only men of character and integrity can come through for positions of responsibility at all levels of our political engagement in the country.
“We must urgently steer the ship of PDP clear of the path of infamy which Wike and Fayose has brought our party, making Nigerians to mistaken PDP as a training ground for thugs. That is the urgent task we have. We cannot continue to advertise thug brand and expect Nigerians to take us seriously,” he said.
robosky02: He said: “This so-called ‘Rainbow Coalition’ is a toxic distraction, a political mirage, and a well-calculated vehicle for personal ambition
If beggarly Wike betrayed the party that made him from LGA chairman to minister and governor, why would he not betray Tinubu and APC for his own personal ambition, just like the master strategist did to get the job of president?
anonimi: Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant
Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT
Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.
Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.
The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.
The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.
The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.
Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.
2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury
Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.
ddippset: Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.
Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku. He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.
He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party.. Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.
This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.
He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.

How do you explain this phenomenon of expensive petrol despite paying subsidy to importers?
What is Tinubu doing with our money?
anonimi: NNPCL’s subsidy payment jump by 47.9% to N7.1trn in 2024
November 26, 2025
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) paid a total of N7.1 trillion as subsidy for premium motor spirit (PMS) in 2024, this sum represents a 47.9 percent increase from N4.8 trillion recorded in 2023.
This is despite the government’s announcement of subsidy removal in 2023.
The company explained that the amount, which it termed ‘energy security expense’ arises when there is differential between the exchange rate used to freeze the premium motor spirit ex-coastal price and the prevailing rate at the point of import settlement.
According to the report, government had instructed that NNPC Limited cannot sell its PMS above a certain regulated price. It added that the cost of petrol import is usually much higher that the regulated price.
mohbadliveson: This is the winning team whether Atiku steps down or not
NDC: Peter Gregory Obi (65) / Musa Mohammed Rabiu Kwankwaso (69)
Kwankwaso is not interested in next year’s election. He has obviously negotiated with Tinubu for 2031, with renewed hope that the master strategist of treachery won’t get a 3rd term for life president, like Obasanjo failed in 2007!
Kwankwaso has a job to keep Obi from ADC and help Tinubu win again, just as Utomi did in 2023!
lexylaw40: The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.
Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."
The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.
"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.
"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.
"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.
Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.
The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.

HacheNoire: Gradually, we are getting there! Nothing is impossible if you believe! By the time dumb Trump is done with the world, we should be at NGN5000/liter.
Why did dumb Tinubu fail to crash petrol prices below N185 promised in his renewed hope agenda?
Gerrard59: Those who kicked against subsidy removal 14 years ago are at fault, including Yar'adua who reversed the sale of the refineries. By now, we would have become a major refining and petrochemical hub and have trains criss-crossing (passenger and cargo) the country.
Nigerian elites are largely unintelligent and incompetent. Nothing surprising.
Nigerian elites like this one that is supposed to be a god of men, and was Buhari’s 2011 running mate in 2011 when Tinubu called the old soldier expired in his failed attempt to use kachalla Ribadu on ACN platform to deny Jonathan the job of president?
AMINDA: Governments exists to make life easier for their people and not vice versa. Tinubu cannot continue to run a developing country like Nigeria with total and mindless capitalism.
Atiku will reintroduce subsidy and bring succour to Nigerians.
Why are you mixing up Tinubu lootocracy for capitalism?
The master strategist of a-looter propaganda politics continues to pay subsidy illegally under a different name to his Malta blending plant fuel importers, a labour in vain attempt to destroy Dangote’s PDP licensed private refinery.
The question is why petrol is so expensive despite paying more subsidies on imported fuel than when PDP gave us cheap petrol, less debt and better exchange rates.

Emekaonline: You keep on attaching OBJ statement on Tinubu. When will you be bold enough to start attaching OBJ statement on your corrupt Atiku?

Richtaiwo: So for every N100 from VAT, N10 goes to federal Government while states share the 90%. Is it not appropriate that this VAT be shared on the basis of how they are earned?
Because Lagos State has the highest VAT and it is very unfair to give Lagos same amount as Anambra with the lowest VAT. Why is derivation only applicable to oil?
What percentage of the total FAAC monthly revenue comes from VAT?
Racoon: Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.
Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.
His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.
The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993
It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.
Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.
He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.
“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’
Kalulu44: Ok o, he has the time unlike most of us. I'm an Enyimba fan, but preparing to watch another of my beloved club in Man United. So which time will I have to create Enyimba's own. I just wish all or most of the NPFL matches are posted here and we follow it up from there with more volume
Keep wishing o. If the people of Manchester simply wished instead of working to hype their own HOME team, how would you be even aware of its existence talk less of making it your BELOVED team to the point that you have no time to create threads about Enyimba that you CLAIM to be a fan of?
FSBoperator: So that we can go back to importing crap that we can easily make here in Nigeria ? Your importer retail based reasoning is why you guys can never see eye to eye with Tinubu's re industrialization policy . Our industries died under Alex Ekwenme as VP and head of the Presidential Economic Team. It was Ekwenme that liberalised imports of certain goods to give his kinsmen an economic platform. That import racket is what destroyed our industrial base and saw to strain on FX. Alex Ekwenme remains the worst of the worst of you ask me as his policies such as constructing a one way inland port in Onitsha just to handle importation of finished goods for Onitsha market instead of using that money to expand ports in Calabar , Warri and Koko or even build a new one in present day Akwa Ibom. But his parochial tribalistic mentality and desperation to get landlocked Onitsha a port will not let him see the bigger picture. Today , Onitsha port is desolate because no port exists just for one way traffic and the waterways upriver to Onitsha are too shallow for deep haul vessels. Shipping companies will prefer using a port that they can offload and unload. Onitsha does not provide that as it produces nothing of export value. Secondly, only low berth vessels can use Onitsha and so their cargo haul is limited. Transporting containers from China in smaller haul vessels down to Onitsha isn't cost effective. Dredging the Niger is also not an option as it is too expensive and is a continuous exercise as more silt makes it's way into the river than you can dredge especially during the rainy season. But you guys will say it is Yoruba people that are preventing your jetty in Onitsha you call a port from not functioning.
Three years after crashing the exchange rate why has Tinubu failed to reduce imports and increase exports to achieve his N300/$1 short term target?
Do you think he was drunk on expensive ogogoro like Wike when he made the promise? Or maybe he was just suffering from balablu bulaba Parkinson syndrome attack when he made that promise?
FSBoperator: Because Nigeria has grown . The Federal and state govt wage bill 20ys ago is not the same today. Your population has grown and so govt provides FX to importers to bring in food . We are spending more on security than we did in 1999-2015. Dollar which our crude is priced and sold in, has also lost its purchasing power in the inflated global economy of today compared to 20ys ago
Which one of these things is the same thing as Tinubu failing to make a dollar exchange for N300 in the short term before making it N200/$1 by May next year?
Kukutente23: Some malnourished sheep railed against subsidy removal in 2012 only to embrace it with full ebi in 2023 To them what matters is not the pain and suffering but who is administering it
Wow, I love this excellent play on words that make the point so clear.
FSBoperator: Atiku is dangling an unrealistic and an unfulfillable policy to the masses just to get them to vote him into office. Atiku is so invested in his soothsayers that he pays to tell him he will be President one day . How is he going to subsidize crude to local refineries that do not exist outside Dangote ? Is he going to re establish the crude for refined products deal that saw to off shoring of refining Nigerian crude to foreign refineries and then placing waivers on importing the refined crude and then paying the subsidies on it all over again thereby creating the same corrupt ladden system that gulped trillions to personal accounts ? Even Atiku knows he won't implement his subsidy regime under any guise
Subsidy is gone forever .
Tell your state governors to use the windfall from it which they are collecting via FAAC every month to subsidize education, health and agriculture.
If subsidy is gone forever then why are the 36 governors’ 23% share of the FAAC of less value than when PDP paid subsidy legitimately and gave us cheap petrol?
Why is Tinubu borrowing more than PDP presidents, if subsidy is truly gone forever? Why are roads in a worse condition all over Nigeria?
Nwaokunkpara: What is too hard for the present administration to make our existing refineries to work and provide them with crude oil which will reduce the price of fuel and on the long run reduce the price of other goods and services?
The present administration CLAIMED that NNPC refineries have been operating since 2015, and one of them has been exporting fuel since December 2024.
Tinubu even tried to ridicule Obasanjo by inviting him to the refinery.
A-looter Propaganda Congress, APC is a band of evil people led by Satan in human form as Jagaban of Borgu.
Putinofrussia: Over to you sir,baba Atiku. Are you selling a failed subsidy methodology?
How is Tinubu subsidy removal a success if roads are worse than when PDP gave us cheap petrol and less debt burden?

What Tinubu and APC can’t destroy does not exist. 11 years of change and 3 years of reform with subsidy removal TWICE along with huge debt cum tax burden on people, why should we have roads worse than when PDP gave us cheap petrol and cheap dollars without piling up debt?
“This is how the Benin–Asaba Expressway looks yesterday, Thursday, August 20, 2026. Look at how cars and trailers are stuck because of the bad road.

AWONEYAN: You guys are given this Atiku Subsidy undue attention.
It's DOA
Is it DOA because the master strategist of a-looter propaganda politics is still paying subsidy illegally to his Malta blending plant fuel importers?
Do you know why petrol is so expensive despite his illegal payment of subsidy to importers, in his continuing attempt to destroy Dangote’s PDP licensed private refinery?
