Belafonte:
Lol. You need healing

Belafonte:
Lol Obi is done as a viable presidential candidate in Nigeria, not with his tacit approval of the online lynching his Obidient mob have been indulging in for months now, abi na him refusal to condemn ipob? He will always be a local champion like Ojukwu. He can be president in Biafra land though, I have no beef with that

Curse777:
Without Jagaban on the ballot or Atiku

Strictly

Peter Obi vs Kwankwaso.....

Kwankwaso would kill and bury obi with atleast 5 million votes

Maize247:
Nice one. Very soon Charley boy cup will full

WorldRichest:
Cry weep, wail, even kill yourself, Emilokan Asiwaju Jagaban will appoint whosoever he wishes

tinsel:
Do you think he is a fool? He knows there is no case at the tribunal.

garfield1:
See,Nigerians wants appointees that has little or nothing to do with active politics,people with personal or private records outside politics or govt,new names and she's got it.judging her based on imo will be difficult because most imo people don't like uzodinma because of how he came into power plus his party.
But if we must be honest,from what I've seen in imo,the major problem is insecurity which may be political.this doesn't concern her.aside that,hope is doing averagely ok better than rochas.the major economic issue in imo is the incessant sit at home which is also beyond her.for tinubu to pick her firstly into his advisory committee and then as a minister,she must be doing well.

PoliteActivist:
So we're back to my initial statement - he can only leave VOLUNTARILLY!

garfield1:
That means she's not a technocrat because she's a commissioner?

saintkeppy:
A Technocrat penciled down for appointment in Asiwaju's cabinet.

Dr. Betta Edu from Cross River State is another emerging Technocrat, Young, Beauty with Brains.
It's good that we have new faces that will help deploy their competencies in delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda at least in the next four years.

Aufbauh:
The only Person I've eagerly wanted to see his name in the ministerial list and I wasn't disappointed is Comrade Nyesome Wike.

The man that logistically promised to deliver Obi but ended up delivering Jagaban realistically.
If he wasn't in the list the Obidenses would have gone to town by now, mocking and taunting their silent nemesis.

The Labour Party (LP) has rejected a planned nationwide protest by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in demonstration against the removal of fuel subsidy by President Bola Tinubu.

The party also called for the immediate dismissal and prosecution of Melee Kyari, Managing Director of Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL).

Addressing newsmen in Abeokuta on Thursday, Abayomi Arabambi, the National Publicity Secretary of the LP faction led by Lamidi Apapa, said the NLC can go ahead with a strike and ask workers to stay away from work until their demands are met.

He, however, said the directive of the Joe Ajaero-led NLC on the affiliates and state councils to mobilise ahead for a nationwide protest “is capable of setting Nigerians against the Tinubu administration for violent overthrow.”

“Our party noted that the NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, without facts baselessly accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of showing enormous disdain and contempt for Nigerian people and workers by the declaration of war of attrition on Nigerian workers and masses without any care, leaving them in the throes of hopelessness and helplessness.

“Labour Party agreed with the NLC leadership only on all lawful demands but disagreed totally with a resolution calling for mass action.

“Calling on Nigerians wherever they may be to begin mobilization to take action on their own against a legitimate government, even to the extent of directing associations, individuals and other entities, including the ones already on the streets, to ensure that government listens to the people, is a treasonable felony offence.

“Workers can be called to embark on a strike by sitting at home until the government meets their demands,” he said.

Speaking on the call for removal and prosecution of the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) Mele Kyari, Arabambi said, “Kyari’s leadership of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation and later Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited as a property of Nigerians failed to ensure that Nigerians are in the loop of the operations of the crude oil.

“The Lamidi Apapa-led executives of the party cannot ignore the pain presently suffered by Nigerians of all classes and therefore would want to have the president take decisive actions that would open up the national asset for a clearer assessment of the revenue and its possible impact on the people.

“This call by the Labour Party is critical to the yearnings of the Nigerian people and owners of the labour movement and the Labour Party.”

The Senate has set aside its own rules to pave the way for Monday, July 31, to commence the screening of the 28 ministerial nominees submitted by President Bola Tinubu.

By the provisions of the Senate Rules, the senators are not supposed to sit on Mondays.
Chairman of the Senate Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Senator Yemi Adaramodu, who dropped the hint while briefing journalists after the plenary, said there’s going to be thorough screening for each of the nominees.

He said the Red Chamber had to postpone its annual long recess, which ought to have started on Thursday, to enable lawmakers to screen the nominees for as long as the exercise would take them.

The spokesman ruled out the tradition of automatic “bow and go” for any of the nominees, except where necessary, assuring that the 10th Senate would not disappoint Nigerians.

He said the screening exercise this time around will be thorough and it will not be just ‘bow and go’.

According to him, “The 10th Senate will scrutinise the character, personality and the ability of every nominee.

“Thorough screening for anybody who will be minister entails he/she must have ideas about everything, but in core specialties like health, judiciary, yes, the minister must be a professional.

“The character of the nominees must carry the resume, but we will not manufacture questions and allegations against anyone.”

Senator Adaramodu advised that now that the names of the nominees have been read out, anyone who has anything against them, like petitions, can channel such to the right quarters in the Senate.

On the fraud allegations against some nominees, like former governors, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, he said all the nominees have gone through security screening checks from the executive.

He said: “However, if there is any red flag raised, we will look into it, re-emphasising that Nigerians will never be disappointed by the Senate as “the team will bring oxygen”.

The spokesman said, “Although the Senate is not supposed to sit on Mondays, but because of the importance attached to this national assignment, we have suspended all our rules for them to commence the exercise next Monday.”

derecho:
Is it the SSS that we know or is there another one?
If the SSS could not advice Buhari against Tinubu, then they are equally corrupt.

PoliteActivist:
Sooo why no Anarchy and chaos when soldiers (whom NOBODY voted for) pushed out duly and popularly elected governments??

(At least BAT is already in control - he can use any excuse to stay in power - like that the SC is compromised!)

PoliteActivist:
Every wise person knows Tinubu is going nowhere.

A better academic question worth discussing is:

What happens if the SC removes Tinubu but he ignores them and continues (mis)rulling the country?

siremmyt:
Nobody is talking about Osun state and Lagos state but if it's another region or geo - political zone, people will been raised concerned.

Note; Tinubu is the former Governor of Lagos state and Osun state as he state of origin as people as claimed. Nobody is talking now.
Yoruba people love peace, leadership role and understand politics.
Pls let us embrace unity, humanity,love and peace in this country.

Congratulations to The People Of Niger On Their Liberation From The Hands of Corrupt Politicians,, Other West Africa Military Should Emulate

Ebubu2:
so someone that does well for himself as a politician and did well for his state can’t be a leader of Igbos? Or is it because he’s from an “inferior clan of Ebonyi”, unlike Obi Anambra and Ott Abia ?

obailala:
The money is inside my nose.

Looks hurried.

No state of origin or state representing, no profile and no portfolio.
