This is a big gamble.

If truly that the ruling party has the might to influence gubernatorial elections,why didn't Omo agege (APC candidate)comes out victorious in the last election on Delta state

God want to liberate Nigeria and Delta state

Tinubu will be betrayed by these emergency political friends

The table will turn against these political prostitutes,a dark horse will emerge from nowhere under another party and he will wrestle and clinch power from the incumbent.

This will shake the state politically to it's very foundation

With Delta and Rivers State gone from PDP, what serious opposition can the APC expect in the next election?

Politics in Niveria is all about money. PDP was able to make a grand show last election because of Okowa. Without Rivers or Dleta State money, which PDP State Goveenor will fund them? For quite some time during the Buhari era, PDP existed only because of Wike.

The fault is not with Tinubu. The fault is with the Supreme Court who set a very bad and terrible precedent with the Plateau State case on the sacking of the Plateau State Governor, Deputy Giveenor and Ouse of Assembly during the Obasanjo era.

The Supreme Court claimed to be ruling on jurisdiction, yet it dipped its hand in the substantive matter by recognizing the legality and authority of the Sole Adminsitrator appointed by Obasanjo under the State of Emergency.

What else then do you expect politicians to do rather than take advantage of the bad precedent? If there is anybody to blame on the Rivers State issue, it is the Supreme Court.

There are two things involved here:- it’s either you are lying through your teeth and distorting facts or you are saying the Yoruba populace of then were dumb.

And where are the facts to back all these claims of yours?

The NCNC was founded by a Yoruba man and largely fielded Yoruba candidates in the Western Region 1951 Elections. Though AG won them plurality of votes, there is nothing strange about Yorubas voting for NCNC. The Yoruba are not dumb as you may want to portray with your rhetorical and fallacious question that portray being clever by half.

What would you rather say about Igbos who voted again for Azikiwe after he was indicted in the African Continental Bank scandal and chose the option for a new election to be conducted instead of resigning?

Penguin2:
Just so you all know that the bigotry and Igbo hate didn’t start today.

It started since Awolowo planted it on the night of the inauguration of Western Regional Assembly when he convinced Yorubas that were elected on the platform of NCNC to defect to AG so that AG can become majority and he (Awolowo) and not Azikiwe, can become Premier of Western Region.

Since then, that region has not recovered from Igbophobia and bigotry. With some exceptions of course.

1. NCNC was founded by Herbert Macaulay, a Yoruba man, and it is a testament to the accommodating nature of the Yorubas that Azikiwe not only became a member of the NCNC but also rose to its leadership.

2. It is evidence not ronly of Azikiwe's disdain for the Yoruba but also of his pipe dream of subjugating them that he couldn't find any Yoruba NCNC leader to be Premier of the Western Region except himself, a South Easterner.

3. It is on record that no sooner had Azikiwe taken over leadership of NCNC that he began filling the key positions with Easterners and in particular people from his Igbo ethnic group. By his actions, he directly or indirectly transformed NCNC from a national party into an Igbo or Eastern party.

4. By the benefit of hindsight, it would have been a disastrous mistake if Azikiwe had been made Premier of Western Region instead of Awolowo. We all know that Azikiwe's leadership and legacy in the Eastern Region is far beneath what Awolowo's legacy and contributions to the development of the Western Region.

5. A careful examination of Zikism and the Zikist Movement reveals their death as a result of the fact that Azikiwe was unwilling to make the required personal sacrifices unlike Mathma Ghandi. Hence it was only Awolowo that was able to found and lead a party based on ideology in the entire country. It is little wonder that NCNC became a party synonymous with corruption with flag bearers like Mbadiwe and Okotie-Eboh. Even Azikiwe was marred in corruption scandal keeping Government Funds in African Continental Bank, a bank founded by him and in which he still held shares while being Premier of Easteen Region.

6. It is no wonder that when corruption was rife in the First Republic with NCNC politicians and Azikiwe associates like Mbadiwe and Okotie-Eboh as poster children of corruption, the First Military Coup by Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna sought to free Awolowo from prison and hand the reigns of national leadership to him to change the course of the nation.

It was a well known fact even by that time that it was only Awolowo as Premier of the Western Region that had demonstrated exceptional develomental leadership not marred by corruption.

7. I am often surprised when some uninformed people, primarily of Igbo extraction, claim that Awolowo introduced tribalism into Nigerian Politics, when it is a clear historical fact that Azikiwe was one of the earliest champions of tribalism. Azikiwe saw no wrong with nepotism and tribalism and even gave a public lecture on the benefits of tribalism in forging national unity in the Princess Alexandra Auditorium at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1964 after he became President of Nigeria.

If you think those claims are easy to prove in court for Nwaebonyi, then you need to think twice.

First establish through proper investigation that the victims are genuinely hunters and not kidnappers, before talking of compensation.

Extra judicial killing is bad and should be condemned. But are the victims truly hunters? What are Hausa/Fulani hunters doing in Port Harcourt? Is there any evidence beyond their claims that they are hunters? Mind you, no professional hunters association has come out to lend credence to the claim that they are hunters. Furthermore, why moving such large cache of arms across borders in inter-state travel? Are those arms registered with the Police? Is the movement of arms known to the Police and authorized?

There should be no hurry to compensate and thereby compensate rhe families of kidnappers or criminals.

I hope that Okpebholo governor will read this and get all the facts of the incident before wasting Edo people's money in paying some useless compensation! Those guys were the kidnappers who had been terrorizing the south all these years!

Our southern governors and political class need to do away with their slave mentality of trying to please the northern political elites in everything! It is disgustingly shameful the way southern leaders shiver at any slightest show of dissatisfaction against the south by the northern political elites

While I condemn extra-judicial killings and mob Justice, the attempt to explao away the large cache of arms found with the Housa or Fulani travellers by labeling them as Hunters begs a lot of questions.

1. What means of identification was on then to identify them as hunters. Professional hunters have several associations and some even have uniforms. Not a single hunters association in the country has come out to identify with the victims and not a single.uniform or identity card has been presented as evidence to support the hunters traveling claim.

2. What are Hausa/Fulani hunters really doing in Port Harcourt, assuming they are genuinely hunters? Is it believable that they left all the north and middle belt to hunt for bushmeat in Port Harcourt? Do the swamp forests in and around Port Harcourt look like good game hunting grounds compared to the Northern Savannah and Middle Belt Forests?

3. Assuming without conceeding that the Hausa/Fulani travellers are truly hunters as claimed, what is the rationale in carrying large cache of arms across inter-state borders in a region and country rife with insecurity? Did they get permission from the Police to move such large cache of arms and are the arms duly registered with the Police?

4. What genuine explanation is available for the large amount of.money found with the travellers running into millions of naira?

I very much question the label of Hunters given to the Hausa/Fulani travellers. There are so many questions begging for answers. Focus should not only be on finding their killers but also investigating the Hause /Fulani "Hunters" to unravel their mission and purpose in the south. 9f they are indeed kidnappers, then the remaining travelleds should not go scotfree just as the fate of the people that murdered their colleagues.

I don't believe the lawyer. He carefully avoided commenting on the allegation that the lady didn't want blood to stain her car. Secondly, how was it that a good Samaritan Uber guy was the one that eventually took the victim to hospital? What about the lady's own car that was said to have been driven behind her by her driver?
And the claim hhat the collision deployed airbags and set the lady on fire? Very ridiculous.

Finally, under what conditions will airbags deploy from motorbike hitting a car? Airbags typically deploy from head on collisions or hard rear collisions. Can we see a picture of the car at the accident scene to confirm instead of the purported report of witnesses that the lawyer claimed indicted the motorbike for the collision?

While it is a fact that charlatans exists in almost any religion including Christianity, this is no opportunity for any chest beating by a Muslim least of all.

If there is any religion that has al the hallmarks of serving a false God, it is Islam.

In Christianity Jesus and Yahweh are distinctive names but Islam curiously does not know the name of its God, choosing to use Allah which was an appellation used to refer to one of the pagan dieties that existed well before Mohammed was born.

Allah in itself simply means "the God". So if you ask a Muslim the name of his God and he says Allah, it is like asking someone the name of his King and he says "the King". It is common knowledge that "the King" is at best a title and never a name.

So someone who does not know the name of his God should not abuse others about false gods. A child that does not know the name of his father shouldn't be found labeling anyone a bastard.

Now are you saying a thief in New York should be regarded a honest man in Nigeria and given a position requiring integrity? Considering again that he hid the record of his disbarment from his declaration to INEC?

There is nothing political about punishing a thief and a dishonest person. Imaseun does not deserve to be a Barrister or Senator at all with such records and conduct. He is already rubbing the image of the Nigerian Senate and the title of "distinguished" Senator in the mud.

Ok. Fubara is gone for good!

What the ruling means is that: Only the Sole Administrator can authorise the Rivers State government to challenge the proclamation in court. Any other person is meddlesome interloper unknown to law...So says the supreme court!

Oya ipob obedients come and cry as usual!

The lawyers that filed the Plateau case actually goofed although there is the question of who is the rightful representative of the State (i.e. the elected Governor or the Sole Administrator). The decision of the Supreme Court to decline jurisdiction nonetheless appears to have given recognition to the Sole Adminsitrator and consequently his mode of assumption of power. I expect that Plateau State Governor’s lawyers then to have raised the issue and requested for status quo to be maintained as required by law prior to the determination of the matter. And the status quo would have been that the Governor remains the representative of the State.

The decision to pursue technicalities on such a serious matter is quite sad. While some say that the Supreme Court never made any pronouncements on the merit of the case, the decision to recognize the Sole Administrator on whom the constitutionality and legality of his assumption of power is being challenged, and then consequently deny jurisdiction amounts to an indirect pronouncement. I would have loved to see the full details of the case and the single dissenting judgment.

Correction:

I have gone through the details of the case and in my opinion, the Supreme Court did grave injustice to the nation and people of Plateau State. The decision to recognize the Sole Administrator as the representative of the State is just indefensible.

The goods do not have to be proven to be stolen goods before you are arrested. They can conduct their investigation thereafter and set you free if proven innocent.

For more than a year now, Rivers State House of Assembly has been demolished and no replacement built contrary to the "alleged" reason for the destruction that was given by Fubara.

The assault on the legislature just to avert impeachment has been such that there is effectively no legislature in the State for more than a year now. That is a clear violations of the Constitution that is not present in any of the other States being cited in comparison by you.

There cannot be any valid democratic Government without a functioning legislature. It is a grievious aberration and assault on the Constitution because in such situation the Governor becomes a dictator.

Finally, the attack on pipelines and oil installations following threats obviously supported by Fubara to avert impeachment constitute economic sabotage against the country. A single State cannot hold the whole country to economic ransom because of their own internal issues.

All the foregoing clearly create enough grounds to declare a State of Emergency. The trouble at the Lagps House of Assembly is localized and no one is Issuing threats or blowing up things. Stop being sentimental.

While I can say that the State of Emergency declaration may be a but too early, there are clearly grounds for the declaration. At least 2 cases of oil pipeline explosions have been recorded within 24 to 48 hours following threats by militants supportive of Fubara and Fubara didn't dissociate himself from the threats or warn against it. So it his clear that Fubara may not be able to effectively carry out his role as Chief Secueity Officer of the State.

You mention Benue, Kaduna and other Northern States. The truth is that those States are not as strategic economically to the country like Rivers State. When pipelines and oil installations get blown, it directly affects the National Revenue from crude oil and cannot be ignored, unlike banditry that is largely localized to the area experiencing the challenge.

Imagine how the Senate have abandoned their duty and be discussing irrelevant issue because of a clout chaser

The Senate action in clearing Akpabio of the sexual harrasment allegations and passing a vote of confidence in him while the matter is still in court is laughable and highly condemnable.

How can Akpabio sit and be a judge in his own case and then telll us the outcome is fair, just and sincere? Such kind of action worsen the public image of the Senate among right thinking individuals across the world.

And regarding your recommendation, suspending Natasha beyond 14 days is a violation of the Law and Senate Rules. The Court has repeatedly ruled against the National Assembly and the Senate on several matters of suspension of members. Senators and Housw of Representative members are not employees of the National Assembly. They are elected to represent their constituencies and you cannot deny any constituency of representation according to the Constitution.

I Regarding the issue of distraction that you claim, it is a function of the type and quality of people that are in the Senate.
