He will win via rigging more than he rigged the last time, what he shud be thinking about now is post elections violence and his violent ousting

Svoboda:
Think critically. How can one more southerner in an already crowded pool of southern candidates benefit Tinubu, a southerner? Haba! Stop grandstanding abeg.

Bentacur007:
You are just consoling yourself

Bentacur007:
Are you pained?

Urgent1Million:
I'm still wondering why Jonathan is allowing his name to be used for comedy.
I expected him to have issued a statement to clarify his position on this matter.

Bentacur007:
If Wike believes that his PDP faction is authentic,why not leave other faction to waste their time and efforts..Why is Wike always on panic mode..My mind is telling me something

One thing I have noticed about Tinubu supporters, especially most of those of his ethnic stock, is the fact that they would rather look for silly things to diffuse attention to rather than say the truth and hold government accountable.

Since the Oyo kidnapping happened, not once, I mean, not once has this people called out the government for its failures. For heaven’s sake, even in our constitution it is stated there that the primary responsibility of government is security. It is when people are secure that you will build infrastructure for them. It is a secure people that will stay alive to enjoy the benefits of a repositioned economy; since that’s the only thing Tinubu supporters have accepted he achieved.

However, rather than hold Tinubu accountable for failing on this basic task of ensuring security for his own kit and kin, his supporters are rather looking for who posted what, and who retweeted what?

And I ask… the posts you are vituperating about, are they wrong? Or you simply hate hearing the truth?

Now, to the post you people are saying it’s mockery of Oyo kidnap victims, how is it mockery because I can’t see it?

Peter Okoye simply made a post recognizing people’s right to choose their preferred candidate to vote but stated however, that everyone will be held accountable for their choices and that choices have consequences.

Now, someone responded in agreement to him and attached the pictures of the Oyo Kidnap victims plus other victims of mass slaughter by bandits as a direct consequence of the choices some people made in 2023.

Now, I ask, where is the mockery?

Is Peter Okoye wrong to state that choices have consequences?

Or the respondent who attached pictures of victims of banditry wrong to attach those photos as a direct consequence of the choices some of you made in 2023? Is it not?

We had different candidate who dwelt heavily on how he was going to end insecurity and ensure that every inch of Nigeria is accounted for but you dismissed him and went for someone who didn’t even say anything about what he would differently from the Buhari administration regarding insecurity.

Now, people are telling you that everything that has happened in this country since Tinubu was sworn in 2023 and the things happening now, are all direct consequences of the choice you made in 2023 and you dare call it mockery?

Is it mockery or you’re just too dishonest to accept the truth and make amends?

And what I find most heart wrenching is that Obembet who made that post is supposedly a MOD on this platform which is pathetic.

I will conclude with this…. In 2014, prior to the 2015 general elections, over 200 children were kidnapped in Chibok, Borno State. Tinubu, Buhari and all their lackeys championed the “Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG)” campaign against the Jonathan government until it became a global phenomenon drawing the attention of Michelle Obama and other American celebrities.

Was that act mockery of the Chibok girls or genuine outrage and desire for a change of administration to someone who could do better?

Owoino:
Yes Peter Gringory Obi will be sworn in if he gets the majority votes and 25% in 24 states and that's something that Gringory will never get

Hedonisco:
Insha Allah.

That will be a defining moment for Nigeria.

slivertongue:
Wike is tenant in power and his arrogance will end in 2027.
when a mad person runs away with your cloth, you do not chase the deranged person naked; otherwise, those who see the chase will simply conclude that two mad people are running.

Na ontop everything una go blame Wike ni? Blame am for PDP, blame am for APC still blame am for NDC. Wahala o

But there's nothing silly about what he said.
The use of drones will greatly reduce our reliance on the use of Able bodied soldiers.

That way we can attack actual terrorist hideouts without having to risk human lives.
We can even have military drone centers on most highways as their response time will make it harder for kidnappers to operate on our roads.
Think about it.

Bayo Onanuga is nothing but a fool and a specialist in failure just like his dementia-ridden president

He had shares in the bank and one of the primary benefits of owning shares is receiving dividends. That is not a complicated concept to grasp.

Unfortunately, this is what happens when someone convinces himself that education is a scam.

DonFreshmoney:
Makinde has a point there. Tinubu is just playing to the gallery with the state police. Watch him use state police to campaign for 2027 then abandon it if he wins. The question is why didnt Lagos join their sister states to create Amotekun?

iamfraud:
People like Esnbrutality will still find ways to blame it on the government

Validated:
Sorry. You cannot buy constitutional breach. If the man did not resign APC has no candidate in Rivers. The supposed next in line did not also resign before the primaries. Even that one withdrew from the race officially.

lol. The law only requires him to resign from PDP before joining another party. Announcing his resignation on the floor of the house or not doesn’t affect his ability to join another party. That is just parliamentary procedure and nothing else.

Once there is an evidence that he submitted his resignation letter to the ward chairman, he’s good. All others are procedural.

Fubara is fighting in proxy, wise man.

If the rat will not eat the corn, he will rather waste it. If I go down, we all go down.

Speaker asked to produce evidence of Chinda’s defection to APC, resignation as Minority Leader


The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbass, has been asked to produce records of proceedings in the Green Chamber to show that a letter announcing Kingsley Chinda’s defection to the All Progressives Congress, APC, and resignation as Minority Leader, was read on the floor of the House.


The request was made by the Incorporated Trustees of the Association of Legislative Drafting and Advocacy Practitioners, who recently filed a lawsuit asking an Abuja Federal High Court to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from recognising Chinda as a governorship candidate of the APC.

Chinda, an ally of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, minister, Nyesom Wike, emerged the governorship candidate of the APC in the May 21, 2026, primary election, following the last-minute withdrawal of other contestants – incumbent Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Tonye Cole and Alabo Dakorinama George-Kelly.


However, the Incorporated Trustees of the Association of Legislative Drafting and Advocacy Practitioners, whose members include indigenes of Chinda’s Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency of Rivers State, approached an Abuja Federal High Court seeking to stop him from taking part in the 2027 poll.

The plaintiff argued that the lawmaker’s defection was inconsistent with the provisions of Section 68 (1) (g) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, and pronouncements of the Supreme Court of Nigeria on the defection of legislators.


To back up the claim that Chinda’s defection did not follow due process, the plaintiff has requested the Speaker of the House of Representatives to produce evidence that a letter notifying the House of the development was read on the floor during plenary.

The request was made via a letter, dated May 26, 2027, signed by Jesse Williams Amuga, Esq., Administrative Secretary,

Association of Legislative Drafting and Advocacy Practitioners.


The letter read: “Request brought pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 2011: Request for the Hansard and Votes of Proceedings and Order Paper of each day of plenary sessions of the House of Representatives, National Assembly, during the month of March and April, 2026, or any other date to ascertain whether the records can confirm the date on which the Rt. Hon. Speaker or any other presiding officer of the House of Representatives read the official letter of resignation of Hon. Kingsley Ogundu Chinda to confirm cessation of his membership of the PDP and also to confirm his resignation as the Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, National Assembly.

“We write on behalf of some of the 500,000 registered constituents of Obio/Akpor Federal Constituency, currently represented by Hon. Kingsley Ogundu Chinda.

“We write to request a formal letter of response to the above-named subject-matter.


“This letter that we are requesting is a condition precedent under Section 68 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 which we seek to tender as Exhibit in a lawsuit.

“We, as lawyers representing the constituents, previously wrote a letter expressing the intentions of the said constituents. A copy of the said letter dated October 2025, to the said legislator, is enclosed/attached.”

The letter was copied to the Deputy Speaker, as well as the Clerk of the House of Representatives.

Following the lawsuit filed against Chinda’s candidacy in the 2027 election, a group, the Centre for Constitutional Governance and Electoral Integrity, CCGEI, had, in a statement, declared that the Rivers lawmaker had already resigned as Minority Leader of the House of Representatives before participating in the APC governorship process and had not taken part in any PDP-related activities since then

Bluearrow:
Candidate eligibility is the case here, not party primaries.

AsomughaChuks02:
Some Obi supporters are saying that Seriake Dickson the NDC national leader humiliated Peter Obi here by ordering him to stand and explain himself while his aide photographed the incident.

What is your opinion of this awkward set up?

maestroferddi:
Oga you are constituting a nuisance here, I have to say...

You just talk for talking sake...Your likes are the reason people run away from this platform for fear of being infected with intellectual vacuity...

No be only you dey support Tinubu but your own don dey turn to mindlessness...

michelz:
You're obsessed with the enigma Obi. You even had to include his name in your monicker. Do you also dream of him every night? Do you wish he was your father, or husband?
Do you wish you were from his tribe? Do you secretly wish he was your president instead of the Chicago miscreant?
