Sadly for you, the person you quoted wasn't even talking to you.

Don't be a hypocrite.

President Bola Tinubu and President of the Senate, Senator Godswill Akpabio, are among the eminent Nigerians slated to grace the unveiling of Peace in the South-East Project, PISE-P.

Chairperson, Media and Communications Committee of PISE-P, Mrs Mary Ikoku, disclosed this, yesterday, in a statement in Umuahia.


Ikoku described PISE-P as a non-partisan advocacy organisation working toward the restoration of peace in the South-East through a non-kinetic approach.

She stated that the unveiling ceremony would coincide with the grand reception organised in honour of the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Benjamin Kalu.

Ikoku also listed other prominent Nigerians that are expected at the event to include the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, and members of both chambers of the National Assembly.

Others from the private sector are business magnets, Aliko Dangote and Arthur Eze, media moguls and politicians across party lines, amongst others.

The royal fathers of the day are the Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, and Ooni of Ife, Adeyeye Ogunwusi, with members of the Abia Council of Traditional Rulers.

The statement read in part: “The PISE-P team and his community take immense pride in the remarkable achievements and tireless efforts of the Deputy Speaker, who has consistently demonstrated a profound dedication to the wellbeing and progress of our people.

“As the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, he has played and still plays a pivotal role in shaping policies that address the needs and aspirations of the people of Bende LGA, the people of the South-East and nation at large.


“The PISE-P unveiling will mark the formal declaration of peace in the South-East as well as initiate the project’s implementation.

“The project aims to end not only insecurity in the region through dialogue with the combatants and key stakeholders but the rebuilding of South-East, using the projects eight pillars.”

Look in the mirror.

Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, on Wednesday, declared his interest to contest in the Edo State governorship election next year on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.


Ize-Iyamu was the party’s candidate in the 2020 election.


He said the party was sabotaged by its leaders outside the state but insisted that the APC must win the election this time and that he remains the best candidate for the party.

Ize-Iyamu stated this when he met with the members of APC’s state executive at the party secretariat.

At the meeting, he lauded the leadership qualities of former governor now a senator, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, who he said was the only National Chairman of the party under whose leadership the party provided money for candidates during elections.

Ize-Iyamu also commended the leadership of the party for keeping the party intact despite being in opposition in the state.

‘We must win’
According to Ize-Iyamu, “Next year is critical. We’ll be going into elections again. By September, there will be an election for the office of the governor and by November, the new governor will be sworn in.

“That is why our party must do everything possible to ensure that we win that election. All the work you have done so far, all the dedication, the commitment of our members, everything will be nothing if, by next year, we are not in the government house.

“When you look at the calibre of people here, you ask ‘How can APC be in a position?’


“It was a mistake. It was an error and by the grace of God, it will not repeat itself. That election must be won.

“We did not win that election not because our party was not on the ground, not because the candidate, my humble self, was unpopular.

“We lost that election because our leaders outside the states chose to work against us. That is the truth. Some of our governors chose to work against our party.

“Somebody told me today, I didn’t even know before; one of our APC governors brought money to be given to the deputy governor.

“So they took it to my running mate Gani Audu. And the man said ‘Oga, the governor said before I give you I should call him to talk to you’.


“So he called and Gani took the phone and the APC governor asked ‘Is that Philip?’.

“He said ‘No, this is Gani Audu’. And he (the governor) shouted ‘Gani who? Please give the phone back to him’.

“And the man collected the money and said it was a mistake. By the grace of God, affliction will not rise in this election. We will win,” Ize-Iyamu added

Held hostage by Tinubu?

If Lagos was held hostage and they continue to be the best state in terms of invested infrastructure and the destination for almost everything good about Nigeria, then I would love my own state Oyo to also be under hostage.

Maybe if someone had held Edo hostage, it won’t be the slum it is now with the level of underdevelopment in that state.

DomPerignon:
This one that has been in power since 1999 and who served 8ys under the dissatrous Buhari govt ?


Well, the people whose loyalty and love is ever fickle will now start singing his praises.

Mynd44:
Edo is not Lagos. One has to agree with this because the level of undemocratic nonsense happening in that state can't happen in Lagos or any state with strong democratic positions

The rift between Governor Godwin Obaseki and his deputy, Philip Shaibu, may have taken another dimension as N345 million was allocated to the Office of the Deputy Governor in the 2024 Budget as against the N19bn allocated to the Office of the State Governor.

An analysis of the budget which the governor signed into law on December 15, 2023, showed that the Office of the Secretary to the State Government got N8bn far higher than the N345m allocated to the deputy governor’s office.

The document also showed that while the House of Assembly got N13bn, the Office of the Head of Service got N968m.

A source close to the House of Assembly said the slash in the allocation to the deputy governor’s office was connected to his ambition to succeed his boss as governor of the state.


It was gathered that some lawmakers believed to be loyal to the deputy governor opposed the decision of the members of the assembly to pass the budget as presented by the governor.

Lawmakers in that category were said to have described it as an “unfair appropriation” but that they were overwhelmed other members.

An insider claimed that the budget has divided the lawmakers, but a principal member of the House of Assembly said there was no division in the House.


PUNCH reports that Shaibu had last week said his office had not received any allocation in the last six months owing to the tension between him and his principal.

The deputy governor, who stated this at the unveiling of the Correspondent Office in Benin on Tuesday, said he had been running the office and doing other activities through goodwill and contributions from friends.

He said, “You know there is tension between the governor and me. And for six months, there has been no allocation to my office. So, whatever I am doing is contributions from friends and my goodwill; and I am still standing very strong.”

Portable defeated him blue and black and not by fluke.

I think Portable have more endurance than Charles Okocha and seems to be more on target than Charles.

If Portable blow have more power, he would have knocked Charles Okocha to the ground patapata without him rising again because the amount of punches he landed on Okocha head is enough to do the damage.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Daniel Bwala, has suggested that the current administration of President Bola Tinubu may end up like his predecessor.

He noted that this was exactly how Nigerians were told to be patient for eight years while the Buhari administration was busy doing very little or nothing at all.

Bwala said that Tinubu has already spent 31.8 percent of his first term in office and has only succeeded in raising the sufferings of Nigerians during this period.

“When people talk about being patient and waiting, you have to look at the time frame the public officer is expected to execute the work,” Bwala, who was the spokesperson of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council for the 2023 elections, said on Channels TV on Monday.

“The President has just been voted into a term of four years. He is eight months into the term which constitutes 31.8 percent of the total time that he has.

“He has less than 70 percent time in government, when is that going to happen? When President Buhari took over in 2015 it was the same language and we patiently followed and he finished the first term and finished the second term.

“When there is a fundamental problem with policy, time is irrelevant, 30 years it will not work. Most of the economists I’ve listened to have faulted the President’s budget with which he was supposed to deliver the agenda flat-out…

“We want to see deliverables. Nigerians are tired of English, Mathematics, Economics, Science, and Technology. We want to see practical things,” he said.
