The lawmaker representing Bayelsa West Senatorial District, Seriake Dickson, has thrown his weight behind the return of his colleague from Kogi Central, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, to the Senate.

Natasha was suspended on March 6 after a heated argument with Senate leadership over a new seating arrangement, which she claimed was intentionally designed to undermine her.

It will also be recalled that hat the issue degenerated when she appeared on national television and accused Senate President Godswill Akpabio of retaliating against her for allegedly rejecting his sexual advances, an allegation Akpabio has denied.

Vice President Kashim Shettima described the former presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso, as a “fire-spitting” leader.

Shettima stated that what binds the political class together is stronger than what divides them.

Shettima said: “The game changer, is he still around? No, the game changer has left. But the enfant terrible of the Nigerian Governors’ Club, hate him, love him, but you cannot ignore him. Nasir Ahmed El-Rufai, former Governor of Kaduna State, and the fire-spitting leader of the Kwankwassiyya Movement, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. So many dignitaries, which reflects the eclectic crowd of friends that Mohammed Bello Adoke maintains. We have PDP.

“We are doing this because we do not want this great ship called Nigeria to sink because if we do not rise up, and now, they will sink all of us.

“I don’t own this party more than any of our members and I urge all members to prepare to show Nigerians that ADC is a different party," the interim Chairman, David Mark has said.

You're Shameless, Your Aides Left Over Non-Payment, Immoral Acts - Lere To Ireti

The Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ireti Kingibe, has been told to stop being shameless, stop immoral acts and pay attention to the welfare of her legislative aides, many of whom have left as a result of non-payment of their salary and entitlements for as much as six months.

Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, in a statement on Tuesday, said the FCT Minister will not be available to be used as a launchpad for Senator Ireti Kingibe's dying political career.

Ireti Kingibe had said on a television program that the FCT Minister was out of touch with the needs of the people and that "it’s not just about development, Wike's conduct is fuelling resentment among the FCT people."

In his reaction, the FCT Minister's Spokesperson said it was funny that Senator Ireti Kingibe, who treats her personal aides like slaves and has refused to pay them their wages is the one talking about someone treating others with disregard.

Olayinka said; "As at today, we know how many of Senator Ireti Kingibe's aides that have resigned owing to non-payment of their salary and immoral acts.

"We know one of her aides, who resigned because she allegedly had an immoral relationship with her boyfriend. We also know what strained her relationship with her third husband, Ambassador Gana Kingibe, a former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF). But we will keep our gunpowder dry for now.

"However, Senator Ireti Kingibe should tell the people of FCT what she did with the an 'envelop of N3 billion' that was awarded her last year and how many contracts for constituency projects she has sold for between 15 and 20 percent of the contract value.

"As for the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, he will not be distracted by someone like Senator Ireti Kingibe, who has no other credible identity to present herself with, except the name of someone she is no longer married to.

"The Minister will continue to bring infrastructural developments to both the FCT city center and satellite towns. Just last week Friday, commissioning of 16 projects to commemorate the second year of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration was concluded, and by this time next year, more projects would have been commissioned."

Kenneth Okonkwo, a former chieftain of the Labour Party (LP), says President Bola Tinubu will coast to victory in 2027 if the African Democratic Congress (ADC) presents a southern presidential candidate.

Okonkwo, who was the Labour Party (LP) campaign spokesperson in the 2023 elections, spoke on Tuesday during an interview.

He said the opposition coalition must field a northern heavyweight if it is serious about unseating Tinubu.

“My strategy this time around is that I am going to support a northerner in 2027,” he said.

“It must be a northerner that the whole north is willing to support. If the whole north is willing to support an Atiku, why not?

“If the whole north is willing to support a Tambuwal, why not?

“The person must be qualified, and if he has experience in the presidency, it is an added advantage. When he pairs with someone from the south, that will push him through.”

Local Government Election Will Show Whether Wike Controls FCT - Kingibe

“A former president of Nigeria sent someone to tell me not to waste my money on the PDP 2022 primaries because Wike had raised the stakes to $30k per delegate; $30k multiplied by 774 delegates,” he said.

Lifestylecom:
Publisher of Ovation magazine and former presidential candidate, has alleged that Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), paid $30,000 per delegate during the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) 2022 presidential primaries.

Momodu and Wike both contested in the 2022 PDP primaries, where former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar was elected as the party’s flagbearer.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, Momodu said a former Nigerian president had warned him not to contest the primaries, citing the amount of money that Wike was offering delegates.

“A former president of Nigeria sent someone to tell me not to waste my money on the PDP 2022 primaries because Wike had raised the stakes to $30k per delegate; $30k multiplied by 774 delegates,” he said.

“What I expected of him was that if you weren’t going to support a man, if you’re going to run, run a fair race, and let’s leave it there.”

Momodu described Wike’s transformation since becoming the FCT minister as troubling.

“When a man who had been a nobody gets power, he begins to change slowly and steadily,” he said.


He added that Wike, once respectful of Rotimi Amaechi, former minister of transportation, has changed drastically.

“The oppressed man respects only one man: the oppressor. Wike used to respect only one man—Rotimi Amaechi.”

The Ovation magazine publisher also alleged that Wike has developed a heavy drinking habit.

“Wike is consumed by the power he holds. The spirit of power and money is demonic when not managed properly,” Momodu said.

“He drinks early in the morning. He introduced me to Akeshi, a strong alcohol, saying it helps him function. This is someone in public office.

“My appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is that no matter what you are expecting to gain from Wike in 2027, Wike is not the kind of character you should promote; he is not the kind of young man who should hijack our common patrimony,” he added.

The Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Ireti Kingibe, says the people of the nation’s capital will deal with FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike in the coming local government (LG) election in Abuja.

According to her, Wike does not understand the needs of the people and he is not meeting their needs.

“The truth is that the people of the FCT resent Wike,” she said. “They are not happy with his attitude and his failure to meet their needs.”

She said the forthcoming local council elections would serve as a referendum on the minister’s performance in the territory.

“The people will show him who owns the FCT during the council polls,” she added.

Nyesom Wike, minister of the federal capital territory (FCT), has said Nigerians don't really know the personality of the 2023 Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Peter Obi, adding that his supporters are only throwing their weight behind him based on emotions.

The Minister also said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is on a mission to rescue Nigeria, calling for patience with the president administration.

Wike also said that the coalition leaders are only interested in “rescuing their stomach” and not Nigerians.

The minister urged the Nigerians to be careful of “propaganda and blackmail” from politicians and appealed for patience and continued prayers for the Bola Tinubu-led administration.


He said many of the coalition leaders failed to deliver meaningful results to the country when they had the opportunity to serve, noting that their recent move shows that they cannot stay out of power for a very long time.

Okey Ikechukwu, Executive Director of Development Specs Academy has said the coalition should prepare for a fight with the APC and President Tinubu, I don't see them as sufficiently strategic to be able to defeat the APC. While the Obidient movement is growing stronger, they must realise there are no polling booths on the Internet. Labour Party must make a distinction between mandatory expenses and discretionary expenses instead of generalising the "we no dey give shishi" mantra.

Also, Ikechukwu said obidients and labour party are wasting time no speech making and self-adulation .

“This government ultimately has been a failure. When you talk about the quality of life, the cost of living, this is the highest cost of living crisis that Nigeria has faced in the last 40 years,” Rhodes-Vivour said on the programme.

He lamented the nation’s security situation, citing thousands of deaths across different regions of the country.

“You look at security: over 10,000 people have died in the North, and about 7,000 people have died in the South. On the international tourism index, we have gone from number 8 to number 6. You can talk of policies all you want, but if people are experiencing hardship, simultaneously, you are renovating the vice president’s residence.

Hmmmm, addressing protesters, JUAC President Rifkatu Iortyer criticised the FCTA for failing to release overhead funds, which she said were crucial for daily operations.

“We cannot work when overhead is not released. Some officials even claim overhead is only for directors. That is false. It is used for office maintenance and work-related needs,” she stated.

Edo Will Deliver 2.5m Votes For Tinubu In 2027 — Governor Okpebholo

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fFfJ-WjEdw

The Governor of Edo State, Sen. Monday Okpebholo, over the weekend, said he would utilise his developmental projects in all parts of the state to deliver the 2.5 million votes he recently promised to President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

To achieve this, he said he had taken construction to rural areas that were largely abandoned by the former government, including the community of the former governor, Godwin Obaseki, where he stated that he was tarring roads in the eight communities that comprise the area.
