A republican and a donor to Democrats.. He is the Wike of American politics, One leg in PDP another leg in APC..

The question to ask is for how long as he been both? What is the history of his parents and friends?
These things don't add up anyway?

Who masterminded the death of JFK?

After the last elections, armed people took a walk against the president.
Now we are having a snipper shot at a presidential aspirant!!!
Nothing adds up.

This is what happens when people don't take out quality time to seek a pathway to peace. They never envisaged the resistance. What a shame people people who think they have power to weild not knowing they don't possess such.

Fubara is not taking any chances

Those chances he is not taking will create a 🔨 that will plunder some career judges and everyone will rest a bit.

yarimo:
FUBARA looking for an excuse to defect from PDP so that he can claim division in the party. FUBARA should know that, he can't decamp to APC. going to labour party that is the end of him politically

He can't even think of that because if he does, he will need to peacefully resign or the National Party will take him to court and ensure he looses it. If he claims theres division then he'll be asked in court whats the difference between his and the Amaewhule team. He will be the one explaining.

I do not understand why this administration keeps sending trucks loads of food stuffs to State Governors who in turn give such to those in their political party and keep for election purposes!!!?

EreluRoz:
Asiwaju is playing very dirty games with the northerners but one thing I'm sure of is it'll will eventually backfire, he should settle the aggrieved members of our party who helped him to win his election. It's sad to see people who couldn't even deliver their pollin unit now in aso rock forming cabals. Imagine Femi Gbaja, Akpabio and Faleke who couldn't deliver their pollin unit witchunting Elrufai and Yahaya Bello. I don't like it at all

Nothing will backfire that has never backfired.
We will not continue to walk around in circles. This same witch-hunt you're talking about, are you sure these same men did not witch hunt others when they were governors!!!!!
Why cry fowl?

gare:
Fubara is working and doing very well even more than most governors without interference.

This is just them trying to be relevant, the government is still spending, they can't impeach him they're only just trying to save face, the earlier they know they are gone the better for them. So they can use their time to better their lives and that of their families, because this is just a waste of time,they can't stop the state from spending even if they get a court judgement, which they tried to secure but no judge will give that order.

Who is the person that gave that order that the court or judge should not entertain their request in the Rivers State?

PaNnamdi:
Are u scared of USA don't u know the availability of resources in rivers can attract massive international sympathy? am not from rivers so if it requires carrying arms to defend their state from external threats so be it they should.but the only genuine way to stop the wike madness is for all southern states to unite for a single cause and all this rubbish would stop

Unfortunately it does not work that way.
Who are the Southern States Governors that will stand to come fight Wike?
Are you referring to those whom Wike himself used State resources to fight opposition on their behalf or gifted them State funds to alleviate their infrastructural development and poverty. Apologies they don't exist. There is nobody who would want to use financial resources even if they give them the entire State funds for 12 calender months to challenge Wike. Such person dont exist now as a governor and even past governors.

Agugbadin:
Illegitimate assembly members,when the judiciary makes the right pronouncement that this former legislators remain sacked,having defected to another party and hence lost their seats,the tension in Rivers state will die down.

Judiciary has made the right pronouncement. It's the rest of us that's interpreting it the way we deem fit depending on our sentiments.
Those who understands it knowing have gone to the SC and they are making their supporters feel they are on the right .

figment232:
oko jumbo passed the budget so whats all d noise about

A man who was suspended from the SHA is the one who is passing a State budget!!!
Please who lifted their suspension?

IfnobeGod20:
That was the same issue I raised when the Supreme Court made the judgement. The Supreme Court just compounded the whole issue because if today an election is conducted into Local Government council, no single opposition will win election. The governor will just hand over names of those to announce and before the final collation of results, you may just hear the results had been announced.
Until the constitution is tinker with and the conduct of the council election is done by the INEC before we can averagely say the local government is autonomous.
One very big issue again, the Supreme Court had said in the past that the state governor has the right to replicate the LGAs, which gave birth to LCDAs in many states of the federation. If the governor have the sole right to replicate the LGA, any local government area not in the good book of the governor, the governor will just wake up one day and replicate it and turn it to mushroom LG.
Just I had always say, if the judiciary doesn't kill this country, it will remain small because their ruling is somewhat contradictory. Your ruling empower governor to manage the affairs of the local government areas and can conduct election for them but your another ruling say you grant local government financial autonomy. Why can't we have holistic provisions that will make truly the Local Government Areas the third tier of government in the constitution than subjecting the local government to half baked system.

There has always been financial autonomy in the constitution. What the court just did is to place emphasis on it.

Meti99:
Till today EFCC doesn't know what to do to Yahaya Bello one out of ordinary 36 governors,
Now imagine running after 774 local government chairmen..
It will be too complex for any organization to run after ..
Restructuring is the only answer

EFCC does not want to arrest him. If they do they should approach the court if they have a solid case. It's an abnormal practicing fe of arresting someone , squeeze information out of him and then take him to court. It does not work that way. The logical and ideal way is to approach the unbiased judge or AG with your proofs , you'll be issued a warrant and then you go after him. Put out in public, any person hiding such from the law would be apprehended and arrested, be it whoever and even if a sitting governor would lose their immunity. These things are simple. But we know who we are and why we choose to arrest some and leave some.

7upnigeria:
Is Tinubu the supreme court?

But sha, many state Governors are about to receive POLITICS 101 lesson from Tinubu. Wike has a better relationship with traditional rulers in Rivers state, Fubara go hear am. The Local government elections in Rivers will not come easy. Wike will definitely use Federal might to back his CANDIDATES while ALL BAD BOYS arranged by Fubara to do any funny arrangement should watch their back for BULLETS and surprise visits by men of the Military.

Politics at the LGA can't be done with bullets, the same way it's done at the State level . All I see it's either a show of who can pay more to get votes or it's going to be a popularity, more accessible and acceptable contest or a mix of all. Remember the LG level is the level of the ordinary man at the village. It's either the people(masses) do it right or they themselves will suffer their actions.

Kobojunkie:
Let's visit the meaning of Federalism. Please pay close attention to not just the definition of the term but also the example of current states that implement the system.
The constitution, the legal contract/agreement upon which the federation of Nigeria is defined does not talk about federalism. What it instead does is describe the design and structure of the system .

The bolded is just what needed. As long as the design does not in any way specify federalism but rather made mention of a design and structure that looks like a federal system of government then it is not. We are good in lifting patterns but tailoring it in ways not done elsewhere.
There's no federal system all over the world that has 2 federal houses made of Senate and HoR. There's no federal system all over the world that talks about 3 arms of government and 3 tiers of government.
So when people especially the politicians who think they know it and those who are given to wishful thinking come up and say we practice a federal system it's like they don't even know what they are system.
If it's not specifically stated in the book then it does not exist.

ogugwa1992:
https://gazettengr.com/documents-show-edo-apc-guber-candidate-okpebholo-submitted-forged-birth-certificate-to-inec/

What I don't understand is that why is a man who was born in either 1970, 1972, 1977 be writing WAEC in 2008? What exactly was he intending to use the result for?

Kobojunkie:
1. Everyone is accepting it probably because like always the Nigerian people remain ignorant of their very Constitution and the many political manipulations of their political class.

See, I don't need to be a lawyer to know what the Constitution says or understand that it is being violated. I simply need to educate myself on what it says to know this. Before all of this the Constitution never granted Governors access to the Special account they were to maintain, and neither did the Constitution grant Governors control over LGs. The illegal control and dipping into LG accounts are criminal offenses and all implicated governors ought to be punished. However, this decision by the Supreme Court does three things
● It exonerates the Governors by insinuating the Constitution is to blame.
● It illegally grants the FG direct access to the LGs, shifting power over the LGs from the National and State House of Assembly into the hands of the FG. That power shift moves Nigeria well away from true federalism as currently defined in the Constitution
● Removes full control over election and removal of LG chairmen from the hands of the people at the local level to the FG. If the people have a problem with their LG chairman, they now have to tangle with FG if they wish to have him or her removed from office

The ruling benefitted the politicians. State governors cannot be impeached and prosecuted for what are crimes against the people. And the FG now garnered more control over issues at the grassroots level. The people get absolutely nothing but a lopsided government at the end of it all.

2. Peter Obi does not enjoy impunity in Nigeria so you are free to demand he be prosecuted for crimes committed during his tenure. So what exactly is stopping you from doing that?

Please can you help me with the section of the constitution that talks about true federalism or you can also explain to me. Let me understand what is true about our type of practice.
Thanks.

signature2012:
Whether you like or not; this man is the best person to rule this country.

You are just being a tribalist and religious fanatic to be supporting Tinubu.

Ask yourself, in the last one year, how has life treated you in the I country?

For people to be saying Buhari’s Administration is far better than Tinubu….Ha!!!






Don't say because you are close to APC politicians, and feign away from the truth.
Posterity will judge you and your family o..

Before you say PO is a better person and how has life treated Nigerians for the past 12 months. Remember, Nigeria is made up of 36 States and an FCT.
Now truthfully say how was Anambra State when PO was governor and how was life there?
How much wa PO paying as minimum wage during his administration as governor compared to Lagos and FCT?
How much was the price of food stuffs?
What's the IGR ?

They seem to have learnt from their colleagues in Nigeria and have gone further.

Good day, fellas. How many of us used this stuff? The shock wey this thing give me ehn!

The last time I used it and even laid eyes on it was 2007/2008.

PaNnamdi:
Fubara should use rivers oil to exchange for arms from Nigeria and let USA come into river state to rescue them from unfolding genocide in the state

Why would USA come into to Rivers State to rescue. I thought you would also volunteer to carry arms and aid the governor as a true patriot.

Adakintroy:
Someone died and several are in the hospital. The only thing I see is that it was done by an amature. A real Hitman would not miss for that distance. Niga just graduate high school.

It's not about a real hitman. It's about the odds not been in ones favour. A head shot would have been clean but from the looks of it, Trump got lucky and at the point of contact he tilted his head and the bullet grazed his ear.

I will not be surprised if all this was an act.

Moventist:
Fubara is a cool guy that's why wike is still trying to misbehave. But trust Rivers, no one is a king. Wike has long lost his relevance in the state. Currently, Fubara is constructing six flyovers and 25 bridges across swamp forest which are more costlier than flyovers . Zonal and general hospitals are being revived. The most cherished is everyone is given free hand to operate

When the bolded is completely done within reasonable time frame then it will be applauded. As regards costlier, it does not really matter, because all projects in the nation are over over bloated.

kingsways:
Jokers


They are not members of the House

Are you sure?
If they are not members of the house why would the governor put a resolution via the court not to entertain no impeachment notice from them who are supposedly called non members!!!!!

The best thing anyone could say is that the Rivers State does not have any SAM(State Assembly Members).

Sermwell:
Someone who is far more experienced than you in politics is telling you something and you're here arguing rubbish!
Without even being told, don't you know that move is trash?
A whole former governor is telling you something and you have the guts to doubt?

The masses are indeed gullible and stupid

He is more experienced because he was a former governor or what?
We are moving away from the old ways and whatever it takes will be done. Appendages, stooges and godfatherism will gradually be on the downside.
Does he not also know that the LGA have their own Local Assembly just like the State Assembly.

adamusuleiman1:
https://dailypost.ng/2024/07/13/lg-autonomy-let-restructuring-follow-bode-george-to-tinubu/

The elder statesman that said he would go on self exile if Tinubu wins the election and court case is not appealing to the President to go further to restructure the nation.
It's now all these PDP loyalists and apologists are seeing things differently. They never saw it during their years of plenty and abundance.

Afonjananawerey:
Who will charge them to court

There are lots of people who will write petitions against them regarding any fraudulent acts. The EFFC will be so glad to have numerous cases to investigate and prosecute. It will also enable the FG to employ more persons into the EFFC and other security personnels involved in financial mismanagement.
Remember immunity can't be given to these particular tier of government.
We are getting there. It's just a matter of time.

atiku4President:
Good Congratulations to local government areas that their chairmen are not in the same party with the governors. The chairmen will have enough funds to loot, sorry to work with.

There's little to what you can loot when immunity does not cover you.
It's either you work and eat or you eat and spend time in prison. It's all the choice they have.

sammiy:
This is a long overdue judgement, lets trust that this will bring good developments to LGAs. However, i doubt that the judgement will be implemented immediately except the FG is ready for a showdown with state governments....A lose-lose situation! nobody wins.

i will expect both FG/SG to agree a window period for implementation to allow for states to prepare & conduct elections because an immediate implementation could further impoverished the people that the judgement seeks to liberate as some Govs could stop paying salaries if allocation stops immediately and the logistics of FG paying those worker directly could be cumbersome.

The law will take it's course. There is no turning back. There are no sentiments. Everyone will uphold the constitution of the FRN and the judgment of the SC. If the governors like they can instigate the LG staffs, that will not change anything.
Unlike the governors , LGA chairman don't enjoy immunity so they should be mindful and careful if they feel they can be protected by any godfather.

BERNIMOORE:
Fubara has deceived those urchins Jumping up on CTC appointment, One chance

implication now is that FG Now controls whoever is elected LG chairman, The FG will easily select and this Gives APC candidates more advantage, so we expect even fubara chosen ones I mean the few ones he can influence to Rebel against him.....and join with APC FG....of course the FG will dangle the carrot....VERY INTERESTING....when a child is tall like the father, he got no experience and tricks like the father..

The FG cannot control whoever is a LGA chairman. There are certain things that cannot be sustained even with greed.
Little steps irrespective of our corrupt values we will get things right as time goes on.
LGA chairman should as a matter of fact be careful otherwise I see many of them spending prison time like crayfish in a sack bag if they behave like the governors.
