Politics › Re: Tinubu Should Wash Hands Off Rivers Crisis – Frank Tietie by asfrank(m): 12:22pm On Jan 10
reddingtonblack:
If Tinubu didn't engineer the crisis you can defuse the fact that Tinubu gave enabling grounds for the crisis to linger on

Apparently he is playin both sides cos of his nature to always play politics with everything , Tinubu believes why have one when i can have both sides he wants to use Fubara and he doesnt want to let Wike down

Wike's effrontery to disrupt Rivers stems from the belief Federal might backing to ... Tinubu should have distance his office as backing anyone ..buh Tinubu lacks moral ground to call wike to order Wike is only tryin to emulate Tinubu style of godfatherism pocket Rivers like Tinubu pocket Lagos .
If Tinubu actually wanted Fubara gone, he would have been history by now. And he is not playing both, Fubara has nothing to offer Tinubu, absolutely nothing. While Wike is trouble and unnecessary drama to the administration, Tinubu in his character does not just cast aside people who are loyal to him. This is something you should know if you really understand and have followed the president.
Intervening in the face off is more in favour of Fubara.
Now have you asked what deal they made B4 the state of emergency was lifted? Who was the first to break the deal.
If you ask me, the president should stay clear and allow the two fight it out themselves, because it seems they are more than capable

I don't see anything here, they decided to pursue military careers in the United States Army, so it is expected.
I don't see any alien race here.
Politics › Re: Governor Fubara Begins Creek Road Market Construction(pics) by asfrank(m): 9:27pm On Jan 09
obaidan:
But wait o...where is the allegation that will enable the Chief Judge to nail the governor
Section 122 of the constitution allows the governor to spend for 6 months after the budget has expired and a new budget is not in place.
Fubara is allowed to work with the budget passed by the National Assembly for Ibas till June 30, 2026 All the governor has to do is to just ensure that he can defend that the spending falls either of these 2 categories
(i.) Necessary to keep government running, and
(ii.) Limited to what was approved in the previous year’s budget.
Maybe when i see other allegations sha but this one of spending money not appropriated, less than 10 days after the expiration of one budget? e no follow

However, the most important thing is that the Presidency is carrying Fubara on the shoulder.

Wikes boys have only spent just 2 months or so in APC, they are already causing commotion up and down, something with potential to cause division within the entire APC even up to the national level. That party is Bola Tinubus baby. Giving Wike one leg inside APC and also control of Resources of Rivers state is not what Tinubu will allow to happen......
wike essentially used rivers funds to scatter PDP.
Amaechi used rivers funds to be the major financier of the amalgation of ACN and CPC.
Dem sa Obasanjo used Odili to fund Yaraduas campaign and election and to fight Atikus financial warchest
Tinubu will be really wary of Wike having his foot in APC and unrestricted access to the resources of Rivers state

Wikes camp have been shouting like the underdog.
let see what the panel finds as an impeachable offense. But clearly the spending outside appropriation is justified, unless they are implying previous spending before the state of emergency was declared.

AMINDA:
Typical. He engineers crisis between two camps and then plays both sides. How can he wash his hands when he's a major player and instigator of the crisis? Was the agreement for Fubara to do only one term not brokered and signed in his presence? Why should a oresident be a party to such undemocratic agreement? He will now stay neutral because he erroneously believes both camps are working for his own re-election.
Explain how he engineered the crisis, or are you just saying so because accusing him serves your purpose?

obaidan:
Impeachment will not fly
Fubara not getting APC ticket will not fly
Wike should find another party for his candidate and meet Fubara on the field
The only thing that can stop an impeachment is negotiation or State of Emergency.
And he is gone once the House reaches a 2/3 majority on the Article of Impeachment. Even if it's illegal, he will have to fight it in Court as an ordinary citizen.
He is in a tight spot. I'm analysing base on what is available in the public domain and precedent
Politics › Re: Governor Fubara Begins Creek Road Market Construction(pics) by asfrank(m): 3:37pm On Jan 09
This is a fight Fubara can't win, he started fighting too early. I'm not privy to the conditions he agreed with Wike before emerging as Governor, first time his name was even mentioned was when the EFCC were after him. No one knew about him, it implies Wike did everything, and as such the terms were steep.
Politics is always about compromise, and when you bargain from a position of weakness, you get a bad deal. Fubara would have waited, bid his time, gained enough grounds, especially in the assembly, political leaders before making a move on Wike.
From events, it can be assumed that every reconciliatory agreement is in Wike's favour, he's the one dictating the terms. And when it becomes clear to SIM what the implications are, he starts to renege.
But the question is why accept a deal you can't keep?
Politicians renege, no doubt about that, but they do it with power to go ahead regardless. RMK and Gov. Abba Yusuf is an example.
Tinubu mediated the last deal and he is privy to the terms, if Fubara is guilty of going against it, I doubt he will give him his support.

And one last thing, Impeachment is constitutional, nothing can stop it, except Tinubu is ready to declare another State of Emergency.

Politics › Re: Rivers: Bekee-led APC faction Rejects Impeachment Move Against Fubara, Odu by asfrank(m): 6:00pm On Jan 08
What agreement did this two people sign before the state of emergency was lifted?
From public data, SIM wasn't going to come for a second term, a controversial one, but he accepted it.

He has been making inflammatory remarks of late, and wike is one that doesn't back down from a fight.

My own opinion, both of them should be allowed to fight it out. Fubara has proven he is up to the task, which explains why he's taking decisions that will heat up the situation further.

Tire me oh!!! Propaganda full ground here. Does the president even need Wike to influence judge's..
This guy's haven't really understood who Tinubu is, the man can't use an unstable character like Wike for highly sensible matters.

Don't look too far, turn around you should find someone throwing waste bin beside the road. Is that Government? Setting up businesses along the roadside, when when they are chased away, government is evil.

We like how organized other countries are, but we fail to understand is that the citizens are the ones holding everything together.

An average Nigerian is corrupt, all he needs is the opportunity. If he complains, then it's because he or she is not in position to loot.

We are just too stubborn in this country,

Svoboda:
But Uba Sani fighting El rufai is ideal. Why did Tinubu take sides so soon with Uba Sani and turn his back on El rufai rather than remain neutral?
I don't like it. Which why I said they should learn how to massage their ego.
Moreover the conflict between the two started after the Ministerial Snub, El rufai was already on his way out.
Politics › Re: 'We May Ask The President To Choose Between Us And Wike’ – APC NWC Member by asfrank(m): 9:41am On Jan 06
The president is not going to do such, seems you don't even know the person you are working with.
He understands the importance of everyone working together, don't expect him to choose. What he is going to do is simple, allow the two to sort it out themselves.
If it turns out that Fubara is coming for a second term under APC, don't expect Tinubu to back him, that's not how he operates. Ambode's experience should have been enough clue as to what is going to happen, Fubara moving to APC is not a guarantee that he wins a second term.
He made a grave error by fighting Wike, less than a year into his administration, when he is yet to consolidate power.
I like stability, it enhances growth, policy continuation and unity within the state. Lagos is an example, it cost nothing in the end.
But on the other end, Godfatherism is not ideal, but yet again you can't get into government without the help of powerful people in Nigeria.
Learning how to massage their ego while you go on with your work is the best way, Kogi state looks like one for now.

franvincoop:
Stop trying to defend the indefensible.
All tiers you say.
FAAC meeting you say.
Now tell me if the National Assembly was a party to this cancellation.
All budgets whether reconciliation or not must be passed by an act of the National Assembly first with the President giving his assent.
This is the 2nd time within 30 days that Tinubu is trying to bypass the National Assembly and commit unconstitutional acts.
But I don't blame Tinupoo, na dat Natasha pant sniffing Senate President I blame.
This is the worst National Assembly since 1999, even Ahmed Lawan was better than this.
Mr the National Assembly has no business with finances associated with the Federations Account. That matter is strictly between the federating units, FG, states and LGAs.

Atiku's convoy during the last election era was crazy. It's going to be a disaster if Obi doesn't settle for VP 📌💯.
You talking last election, he uses convoy on a normal day with sirens blowing.
He is obsessed with power, Buhari's presidency would have been his, of only he was patient. He left Tinubu after the 2007 elections and went back to PDP, if only he stood firm, 2015 would have been his.
He just can't stay outside the power corridor, which is why he contest after every 4 years

My own be say make everybody stay after primary election...

Think say Atiku form coalition for someone else to come and try his luck.
The way power sweet Atiku, the man moves in a full convoy that rivals most state Governor's. And you think he will easily deny himself the chance of being the No.1 in Nigeria?
The best deal Obi is going to get in ADC is VP. He promised to be on the ballot, he didn't promise which position.

They have been selling it since 2003, so don't start with that.

Nigerian politicians are all the same, the earlier you figure this out the better.
I don't like Obi for one reason, he claims to be what he isn't and his followers make matters even worse, by ascribing infallibility to him.

See them change narrative, because Abua, Enugu states are mentioned.

Normal thing for government to borrow, provided it's solvent enough to repay, and most especially if the funds are used for strictly capital projects. These projects should be primed to generate revenue, from which the loans are to be paid back.
