But wait is it even constitutional for a sole administrator of a state to conduct local government elections?

Is there any law that says he cannot?

Try and get to read the powers conferred on him by PBAT when he was made sole administrator. It's within his limits.
Anyone not in support should take the National Assembly to court for letting PBAT do such.



Even that statement made by VP Shettima about the the President doesn't have the powers to suspend a State governor is somewhat controversial.......Reason....

Whatever happened in Borno State when Shettima was State Governor during PGEJ administration is completely different from the issues that occured in Rivers State.

The case of Rivers State has a State Governor having two different State Assembly headed by two different speakers.
Those on the side of the Fubara are just four members including his Speaker as recognize him. Those against him are seventeen including the Speaker.

So with this we have to be told which of the houses/gatherings is the legitimate for passing of budgets and screening of commissioners nominees to be appointed and others which falls under the purview of the State Assembly.


The courts has done justice to that and the rest is history.

I moved to a new house and all the wires from the pole to the house are black.

All the wires from the meter into the house are black.

All the wires to and from the phases are black.

The wires into the ELCB is black, live and neutral out of the ELCB into the DB are red.

I went to market yesterday to buy 6mm wire and they say they have only red, I said I want black and white, they said use tape to make the red black that they have only red.

I think that for my sanity I will keep looking for the wires of the proper colors and rewire the wiring.

I literally had to go to youtube before I could connect my inverter to the house because of this nonsense

I will also replace the ELCB with my own RCCB.

I have seen it trip off in response to an overload that caused a fire and also trip off when water got into one of the circuits of the freezer wires, so I am a convert through and through.

The house even has an earth fault and I wonder how easy it is going to be to troubleshoot

Except if the cables are substandard, just get a good and diligent electrician and let him trace the wires and run coloured tapes on the wires for proper identification at the necessary points through and through.

MaxInDHouse:
Please reread my post again before quoting me.
I asked a question try to meditate on that question!

I'm trying to wonder why and from where is your question coming from?

Did you read the actual post before raising that question or you have read it some place else and you are privilege to more information than what was written by the Op in brief...

MaxInDHouse:
Did you tell her you intended to become a pastor? Because it's rare for a lady today to turn down proposal of a prospective Daddy G.O o!

Did you read the post till the point where he said he had to be frying buns as a houseboy?

Did he say he was a G.O at that time or had the calling to be what he is today?

Softmirror:
The bolded statement shows the reason why most of you people's argument lacks substance. Try and find out the cost of a bag of cement in 1976 match it up with the price today that way you can have an idea of the value of #20 you are calling ordinary.

I won't say his intention was meant to look down on the #20. I would also say, he probably is one of those who never had the luck to have received that amount of money and get to spend it. He possibly may be a child even born year 2000'''.

Alleged Blasphemy: Angry Youths Kill Female Food Seller in Niger State




Source: The Bureau News

Whenever there's a purported blasphemy in that region, we hear the mob overpowered the security operatives and eventually killed their victim.....

if it's the southern part, you'll hear the security operatives shot at the mob...

At this junction PBAT should direct all security agencies within 48 hours to arrest everyone arrestable, the security operatives that were overpowered, the imans within that district, the local government chairman and district head and everyone present in that gathering . They are all complicit to that crime.

Let's just say this is true and not s story for reading sake.
You have done the right thing. You have done well.
Try as much as you can and let go of every regret, and any form of hatred towards her.....drop it on the ground and let go.
Move on with your life, seek God , seek Jesus Christ, desire the Holy Spirit, seek a higher and better purpose.

Bylaw:
I think hope uzordinma is surprising this somehow.
Incidents like this the first thing is to raise alarm

Yeah, but they are not raising any now.
Probably they feel they don't need any outside interference or intervention.

gidgiddy:
There are half a million people in IDP camps in Benue State due to insecurity there

Think about them before you think about the South-East that has no IDP camp

The situations are quite different, we all know that.
There are no IDPs in the South East yet but we know people are leaving their communities and settlements and relocating.
We also do know that the State governor and government are suppressing the truth from actually coming out.

gidgiddy:
You watched the video and cried? Did you watch the video VDM made in Yelwata where 200 people were killed, many roasted by their killers with petrol?

There are gun men killing people all over Nigeria and the APC government has failed in its duty to keep Nigerians safe, abd bring peace

But what is laughable are you people who only remember insecurity, only if it happens in the South East

It shows that you guys dont really care about insecurity, but only care about using insecurity to play politics

The only reason anyone even speaks about the insecurities in the South East is before these insecurities is self inflicted by those who are claiming the President is not trying to solve it. The same thing you supported to find the government that gives you liberation is the same thing that's killing those whom they want to liberate......I don't really see the thinking around such anyways.

A lot of persons get angry for they have not heard PO speak against any of these atrocious atrocities other than when he said they are his brothers and lives among them for he doesn't know such happens.

Even the five State governors have deliberate refused to come together to tackle this regional menace but they are using it all for their gains a d blaming the FG.
Another administration will come and they will continue the blame throwing and torchlight.

ddippset:


You're kidding right..

"He won't bend to Tinubu"

How?
Lemme guess.
1.By telling Ibas not to step into Rivers state.
2.By warning Akpabio and the Senate not to dare to confirm the SOE by using voice vote to declare two thirds.
3. By running to the Judiciary warning them not to do the right thing, and not look at Tinubu's face.

Tell us how he must not to bend to Tinubu.

If he was actually and truly winning, there would not have been a declaration of a State of Emergency and suspension of the two arms of government.


Also if he was truly winning, we would see in the final outcome of the LGA elections holding today in the State.


Moreso, someone who is winning won't be telling his supporters and followers to stop causing him more trouble!!!!

None of these aides can speak for GEJ.
When was the last time they spoke on his behalf on national issues of interest.



They all cannot deny or confirm anything.
There's no word from GEJ.

The former first lady came out to say she supports the incumbent first lady and her husband.

If there is a new information, Nigerians will hear from the right source.

ddippset:
And to set the records straight..

Yes it started out as an issue between Fubara and Wike,,

But it ended as an issue between Fubara and Tinubu..

In local palance I say; "Tinubu bought the fight"
after he kept seeing his Goliath getting bloodied daily by a David

We have passed this level of sentiments and emotional tally bending narrative.

If David was winning, he won't bend to Tinubu, no never at least not in the manner we have all seen.
Remember today is the Rivers State LGA elections and we will see the outcome of the exercise and subsequent swearing in of Chairmen and others.
We will see and hear the placement of all LGA elective positions and let's see what manner of peace was brokered again if David was actually winning.

ddippset:
Fubara has accepted to go back to being Wike's slave boy.

So what do you expect Ikenga to do?

Continue fighting for Fubara's rights while Fubara is fighting for Wike's rights?

Was he or anyone of them fighting for Fubara's rights?

Since the money stopped flowing everyone minded their business and returned to their personals.

I don't know about other States but in Bayelsa State, someone is saying six hours of light been enjoyed by him in his area........


Is that six hours daily or weekly or monthly, because the Bayelsa State I know, within the Yenagoa LGA, that is mischievous.

There are places in the Azikoro village referred to as town, they have not seen light in a year. PHED brings light for two days bring bills the third day and the day after they start going about to cut light. They do that for three days bringing light for one hour and coming out to cut residents who have not paid and the moment payment is made, the light situation goes off till the next month and this is repeatedly done every month all over the State.

Today is the Rivers State LGA elections.

Please kindly inform us what's happening in your LGA, your Ward and polling unit.

Please no fictitious story, no third party comments, no heresay.

Only personal live accounts of whatever you see from a radius of 10 poles.
Thanks.

PDP is so foolish to allow this one hold them captive, how can a tenant be threatening the Landlord; shame on them

Who is the tenant?
Are you serious?


The bitter truth is that it's the PDP who is the tenant and not the other way around.

The real landlords of the PDP are those who are the fund raisers and managers of the PDP, who are committed to it.

Rivers State monies will no longer be used in funding the affairs of the national PDP till commitments from other States governors and co, are seen financially and otherwise who also want to be seen to call the shots.


We have not heard the voice of Hon. Ugochinyere from the Easter region anymore......I wonder what happened.

Racoon:
This is the distorted mental of an average politician. So providing Portable water is now dividends of democracy? Do Wike not make us of same domestically?

So what is unique about this? Our forefathers didn't had portable water but they made use of the rivers and lakes, yet they even outlived our generation. So why bragging about with rubbish.

Even if Wike makes use of it domestically, it's also good that as a Minister he is also ensuring that the people get to see and use portable water in those areas.


There have been other ministers before him, what was the reasons given by them not to provide portable water for the locals ?

Yes, we shouldn't be celebrating provision of such in this era but there are places even in your LGA and probably your community where portable water has not be seen or used for the past 16 years by a majority, so it's good to thank the government of the day even if you dislike them and urge them to do more and not settle for such things like that's where development starts and ends.

Saao:
i was aware he ware implementing the judgement by written to the state Assembly to resubmit the budgeted every other things before his eventual removal. Beyond that if someone refused to obey judgement the best thing to do is to go back to court and file contemplate against him not to take illegal means. You can now see that edo, osun are now doing same. President should be a leading light not a destroyer of democracy

No he wasn't trying to implement anything but trying to stall the process and play man in charge of the situation.


You say they should go back to the Supreme Court and put a contempt of order against the governor!!!!


Let's say they do that and the Supreme Court tells the IGP to enforce the Court judgement whole also informing all security agencies to be on standby and alert for breakdown of law and order and if the State governor has been harassed by the IGs men, what would be the next thing because i believe the governor will want to do some form of resistance through his supporters and all......




The Edo State governor is just acting comedy. If I were PBAT without fear or favour and out of respect inform the Oba of Benin to counsel the State governor. I'll withhold the LGA funds from henceforth and institute a court proceedings against the State governor and government .

ExudeLoveToAll:
Fighting? You don't have to use words that doesn't correlate the exact things on ground, they were having political impasse and that happens all the time. During Obj his National Assembly wasn't with him on different issues, Buhari also had issues with the national Assembly, they do all the time it doesn't warrant state of emergency rule..the law doesn't even give credence to this scenario

You're just being sentimental and emotional about the issue...



The State governor refused to recognize the State Assembly headed by Speaker Ahmaewule.

The State governor was only working with four members he recognized who were actually on suspension and that suspension lifted up by one of them who later became CoS, abandoning them to their fate!!!!!...
These ones were approving State budgets and screening political appointees for the State governor!!!!

So even after the Supreme court judgment the State governor was still acting out his script and you expect what to happen?


That the Speaker Ahmaewule group should just wait till the first tenure is over and the State governor should smile and say he has won or what are you implying?

Saao:
whatever it is, the best is to go back to court. The president shouldn't have done what he did and refused to correct himself. That singular thing he did will speak against his administration even if he performed excellently well

Which court are you referring to?
The one that has pronounced judgement that the State governor did not accept and recognize or the one the governor was waiting for CTC of the judgment through his lawyers or counsels?

Softmirror:
Oga you go talk taya. 😁😁😁😁

There's nothing here indicating that he engaged in any criminal act he is accused of?

Saao:
Samething applied to governor suspended by the president. It's only state of Assembly that can remove the sitting governor not president

Are you referring to the State Assembly that the State governor refused to recognize or the one that their building was bombed by yet unidentified persons that will suspend the governor?


Or probably those three members who were holding meeting in the governor's quarters?

ExudeLoveToAll:
Is there insurgency in my state? Which powers are you talking about? Even when there is insurgency you can declare state of emergency but keep democratic institutions working. It happened in bornu state during good luck

So how will PBAT keep democratic institutions working in Rivers State when the Rivers State governor and State Assembly are fighting?


Please take sentiments, emotions and party followership aside and respond.
Thanks.

DIVINEEVIDENCE:
I don't understand how governors take decisions and lawyers eventually come out to tell them its unlawful.

What exactly is the function of all the advisers, special advisers, senior special advisers and what-have-you that surround them as aides?

What exactly is the job description of government house advisers bikonunu?

They occupy offices and given portfolios doesn't mean their services are needed.

richiemcgold:
It was not Jonathan that made the earlier declaration of stepping aside. It was a so-called aide. It wasn't Jonathan that also made this rebuttal; it was another so-called aide. I'll rather believe what Jonathan himself says, not all these so-called aides. For now, I keep my fingers crossed.

You're keeping your fingers crossed for GEJ to come and contest against PBAT and Atiku and probably PO so that what will happen?

Well, keep crossing your fingers....

jattopeter:
Dont mind them , they though we have forgotten so soon , the role he played in bringing this evil part into Power.

The ropes Atiku is climbing shows that he is not a good strategist and he isn't fuelling himself with the right thoughts and it shows in the perspectives all around him.

I keep wondering in a country where the office of the president is between the North and South, a Northern leaves his main party where he is supposedly the most senior ranking member to get that position after the incumbent which comes from the South when it is rotated and he chooses to leave the party to side another Northerner who now becomes the President and he Atiku for whatever reasons believing that PMB will just do a single term of four years and when that did not happen he left again......I wonder if PMB has done just that single term of four years will Atiku do a single term of four years!!!!!


I just can't think whatever he was actually thinking and all those around him...!!!!

There's seems to be something properly beclouding his senses and PO seems to be walking that same path on a different approach and perspective.

slivertongue:
Atiku is only the formidable person who can defeat tinubu.

Atiku lost his only chance the moment he left PDP and joined with the APC to oust PGEJ.
Any other thing afterwards is programed to failure and he knows it

LagosOrigin:
Why didn't he announce the amount let's see if it's something to write home about ..

This terrorist organization government will no longer fool us

From my understanding it will be that same amount that they are receiving while in service inclusive of all entitlements as one single bulk sum monthly basis.
It's different entirely from what pension is. This is way better.

This is the most weak submission, unintelligent statement and excuse for them to give regarding the loan approved by them for the State Governor.

casualobserver:
The problem with the Nigerian masses is they are poor educated, poorly skilled, lack good work ethic, too religious, lazy and most importantly have a sense of entitlement. If I can do something without employing a Nigerian I do. The average Nigerian worker generates more stress than any value or output they provide.

Passport is N100k, if you can afford it fine, if not too bad, work harder.

Argue with yourself on the rest. I am done here.

I have been waiting for the bolded to come forth. The same people who don't even know what is hard work or working hard do that and make it like others don't do anything.
Kudos to your sensibilities. You are just the typical Nigerian politician who would turn around some day on their talk because they only talk for the present and not consider the future.
