Yeye stale news. All those listed here decamped more than a month ago. Obidients and ADC trying to water down NNPP reps we decamped yesterday even after their Kwankaso joined ADC.

Unfortunately, the opposition itself cannot really be trusted as a decent alternative. Also, it would be hard for anyone to believe anyone will only run a single term. Even if Obi wants a single term, once he's in office interest that benefits will find excuses. It happened with Jonathan so no one can trust that.

Atiku was the one who spearheaded zoning in PDP to be in their constitution back then thinking he will succeed OBJ and that's why OBJ was even forced to abandon his support for Odili and chose Yaradua but now same Atiku is claiming NE hasn't ever been in power which is right anyways.

I personally don't see a way out because if Atiku spends 8 years, Kwankaso and El Rufai or Tambuwal ambitions will be over.

Also, the North would rather in my opinion do another 4 years waiting and get their 8 years but in politics nothing is decided.

However, one major factor is the governors. You can't claim someone with 31 governors with must of them facing reelection will work against their party especially with new electoral law. The reasons Atiku and Obi were able to win some states last time was the governors were majorly leaving.

Then of course, there's the God factor.

DomPerignon:
Keep dreaming.

Even your Obi that joined ADC to be Atiku's running mate is not even sure of that fake promise.

Uwazurkie was right about you people

I'm actually teasing them..they said Obi will win the Presidency and I only said let him win ADC ticket first

Jokay07:
It's not as if Wike is strong, Wike is just smarter than all of them.
Wike group approach a a federal high court in Abuja to stop Pdp from holding convention, Instead of Makinde to appeal the judgement in Ibadan in his own turf/territory, he went and obtain a state high court judgement.
Makinde played a kindergarten kind of politic there.

Are Wike and Tinubu really smart or opposition are just dumb and stupid? When you look at the way people who lead us think you will wonder if they are truly the best we can produce. How did these guys become successful in business? How can you be so foolish and stupid at the same time? All the judgements in Wike's group favour had always been because of basic strategy.

For over a year, Wike warned and was shouting that they should leave Anyway alone to finish his tenure, they said No, just a month to the end of the tenure they suspended him. Who does that? Allow him use that one month and replace him. Na that foolish mistake dey cause all these madness now. I'm disappointed how Makinde and Bala are governors. It's probably why both never made major progress in their states anyways. Look at Osun too, Adeleke wanted to corner all LG funds and refused to do election, by the time SC handicapped him, the councils were empty when judgement favoured APC and they took over. If he had conducted elections as fast as possible and not sat on LG funds, the councils wouldn't have been empty but now he's using emotional blackmail to blame APC. All of these are just not only corrupt but stupid join sef making Wike and Tinubu look brilliant.

Why are idiots always blaming the judiciary?. Even the losers (Makinde and Turaki) will never say the judgement was fraudulent because they all knew they were banking on luck. There was two different judgements stopping the convention but they still went ahead forgetting that an Oyo state high court doesn't have appeal or SC.

All the judgements against them has been based on the fact that they ignored court judgement not to hold that Amala convention. Makinde just wasted Oyo state's money on that nonsense.

Continue banking on luck o and not facts.

DomPerignon:
Una go just dey run mouth.

Kwankwasso defect to ADC it is ok and a sign that Tinubu is on his way out.

But 31 governros in APC is irrelevant.

You see why Uwazurike's Law is valid?

I don hear. 10 months to go. Make Obi win ADC ticket first.

31 APC governors equals 31 votes, Kwankaso former governor with depleted base 100m votes. Interesting times ahead.

In all this, the werey called Baba Tinubu hasn't said a word or even changed his mood. Fear who no fear Tinubu o.

elder1002:
Doings.

Seem this south eastern governor's have a whatsapp group that they motivate themselves to do better .

Its more of a competition.

While other states are looting, this governor's are doing the basic duty of a government needful.

Even if dem wan loot at least show workings

Nothing of such. Mbah is way ahead of others. You said that because you can't stomach the idea that he's far ahead of Otti in delivery. Check his road, smart schools and legacy projects, not the poultry Otti built called smart schools and over hyped 5km roads. Abeg talk true you won't die. After all the value of education is to be able to use your head.

Tears of Obidients flowing everywhere. Many of you are either brain dead or plain ignorant. When court gave judgement to stop Makinde jamboree una dey praise am because one Oyo judge who retires in few months use Makinde to collect benefits. Knowing that he can't be sanctioned. He took his retirement pay from Makinde and now the foolish Makinde and his gang of praise singers are pained. The law is the law, stop blaming Tinubu or Wike for the foolishness of Makinde.

If Makinde laboured to build PDP will he be doing everything to destroy it? Is it today that parties endorse candidates outside their party? If Wike works to see PDP endorse Tinubu how is that one party state? Imagine following people like Obi, Atiku and Amaechi who cannot build businesses or party and nurture it very well to lead a complex nation like this.

The bigger tears await ADC and all those clowns that will be retired next year in January by God's grace.

mrvitalis:
Who is talking about selling to Nigeria? Lmaooo with your 200 billion dollars GDP? Lmaooo

Allow aba import raw materials duty free to make products they can only export and not sale to local market

Who d hell cares about local Nigeria market? Lmaooo

We are talking about Aba competiting with turkey🇹🇷, Bangladesh Vietnam for USA, and European market

So you want duty free import? Where is your brain. You're not even saying Abia should be making those raw materials locally to help create more jobs. The same import that destroyed jobs over the years is still what your advocating and you think you understand how an economy should be ran??

mrvitalis:
Because of government useless policy on fabric importation... Making aba made wears uncompetitive globally

I have made the analysis here severally

Aba can generate 60 billion dollars from garment and lather industry

If govt doesn't allow for importation, Abia shoes will be expensive. Also, mind you the real raw materials Abia uses are also imported. People like Peter Obi and his cronies used cheap imports to make money and that destroyed manufacturing sector. Even Dangote is now producing locally but Obi doesn't even have a local palm oil mill. He's still one of the largest importers today in the country. He understands trade but obviously doesn't understand manufacturing because if he does, he would practice what he preaches. He may not be as corrupt but even Buhari wasn't corrupt but was also very confused.

Tinubu failed in security and health but on reforms he has done very well and reforms are actually what we needed to survive. With time reforms bring benefits, OBJ started banking reforms and that has helped us till date with stronger banks. GEJ did power reforms and decade later Abia is getting uninterrupted power..with time other states will follow. Na reforms we really need not lies they are all telling. Obi hasn't even promised any reforms.

Says Reconciliation Efforts Will Continue After National Convention,l


The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has said that the National Convention of the People’s Democratic Party scheduled for March 29 and 30 will go ahead as planned, saying efforts at reconciling with aggrieved members will continue after the convention.

The Minister, who also said that the PDP will shock Nigerians by using the 2027 general elections to show its strength, dismissed the appeal filed at the Supreme Court by the Tanimu Turaki group, noting that it has no effect on the convention.

Speaking after inspecting the Moshood Abiola National Stadium Velodrome, the convention venue in Abuja, on Friday night, the Minister explained that reconciliation is a continuous process.

He was accompanied by Chairman of the National Convention Planning Committee, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, PDP Board of Trustees Chairman, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, Chairman of the National Caretaker Working Committee (NCWC), Mohammed Abdulrahman, National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, and other members of the NCWC, as well as Chairman of the Rivers State Elders Council, Chief Ferdinand Alabraba, former Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Chibudom Nwuche and others.

The Minister emphasized that the convention will proceed, while efforts to resolve internal disputes will continue afterwards.

“There is room for accommodation. The PDP is a very large party. Look at the umbrella, it is wide enough to accommodate everyone.

"I have always said that in any group, there will be grievances. You cannot expect that in a family of two or three people, everyone will always be satisfied let alone a party with millions of members. There will always be a few who are not happy. We have agreed to sit down with them, understand their concerns, and see how we can accommodate them. What is most important is the overall interest of the party.”

On the zoning arrangement, the Minister confirmed that positions have already been allocated across regions.

“We have already zoned our positions. Every zone has its own slots. The presidency has been zoned to the South, while the chairmanship is zoned to the North. We believe this consensus arrangement will make the process easier.

"For the first time, the PDP is presenting a unified front, rather than the usual ‘unity list’ that often reflects internal divisions. There are no factions everyone has agreed on the direction we are taking.”

The Minister also addressed the level of preparedness for the convention, saying; "We are fully prepared. This visit is to assess final arrangements. As I said, we are about 95 percent ready, and by tomorrow, everything will be set.

"Seating arrangements for all states have been completed, and the VIP section is ready. We do not expect more than 2,500 delegates.”

The convention is scheduled to hold on Sunday, March 29, and Monday, March 30.

If I remember correctly, AD in 2003 refused to have a Presidential candidate and adopted Obasanjo instead. Not sure anyone saw it as one party system then. I see PDP doing better than ADC.

Enjoy...for now

E reach to enjoy the peace and national calm since your new messiah HellRufai was locked up. Hopefully he has learnt. I pray he won't allow the noisy Obidients to mislead him again.

reddingtonblack:
If there evidences as you claim then why are they not in court, why are there no trials, all the xtains and journalist you know he killed... Why have they not found him guilt

the case iCPC is charging El rufai for in court as nothing to do with abduction or all the nunsense you alleged ..why ??

You can sue a governor due to immunity and he acted in that capacity. That they weren't in court doesn't mean it didn't happen..we all know Audi Maikori at least if you don't know others. Would you like me to share the news link??

esnbrutality:
El rufai mother died because SW jailed him for corruption but

Ganduje
Okowa
Akpabio
Wike


etc etc etc.....are all walking freely.

Awon sophisticated betrayals.

Pains! I'm sure you're sad the North didn't burn as you prayed when HellRufai was arrested. Man spent over 39 days in jail. Isn't the Lord good??

VOsimhen144:
Why do you think Tinupoo paused the Tax system he implemented?

He's patiently waiting for his second term in office so he can start the Tax system,

he know if he starts the tax system now the hardship will be demonic and would affect his re-election.

I can't wait to see Nigerians suffer so hard next year, I will NOT help anybody to survive next year.

How is paying taxes exactly a bad thing? Tax is paid on interest not capital and one reason the nation refused to progress is our overdependence on oil. That's a fact. You can support Peter Obi in peace but don't always shut off your brain while doing that. No let God take away the brain from you o.

ogolemati:
you know if agbero chairman had fulfilled just one of his positive promises just one I won't bother.but he is a wonderful failure .the criminal agbero union smuggled into aso rock is a weapon they fashioned against Nigerians because of the hate they have for the country

Only low IQ people think the way you do. $7b backlog that was cleared na beans? $50b and still counting reserves na joke?

Let me tell you the benefits of reforms because obviously as an Obidient your brain cannot accommodate it, when OBJ did banking reforms with Soludo, many shouted but that move alone saved our nation till today. We didn't see the results immediately. When GEJ brought power reforms that allows everything ObJ refused in power, 12 years after Abia started enjoying uninterrupted power.

Now our numbers are making sense and the reforms are making us see improved investment inflow into the country. Even the rice you always wanted to shout about is coming down.

There's Calabar to Lagos today and Badagry to Sokoto roads going on, economy needs fast and cheaper transportation to work. That will be another master stroke. See Lagos Ibadan expressway today, almost no free land there again as everything has been taken over by companies but it took more than 30 years of that road for that to happen. Immediately Buhari fixed the road, companies started moving in. Same will happen to those trans county highways I mentioned.

I hope your brains and those of everyone in your camp will understand.

See Kuramo beach where we used to flex before is now the most expensive in Africa, it won't happen overnight but will happen once structures are in place.

20 years ago, Lekki Epe was forgotten, but when the road camp under Fashola everywhere is totally occupied now.

Insecurities and other sectors are what needs to be improved upon but when terrorists and their financiers are arrested, you lots will claim they are victimizing them.

Clearing that $7b really increased investors confidence but enemies will keep crying. No be today interests rates are 20+ percent.

Govt needs to find a solution to insecurities, that's the major problem I have with these govt. They need to call the bluff of any religious or tribal fanatics from the North giving excuses for these bandits and terrorists.

reddingtonblack:
You people will just be making biased statements, El rufai kill kaduna xtains, he kidnapped opponents ... till date no evidence,
We cant use illegality to correct illegality, if El rufai is bad becos he detained people illegally then the govt detainng illegally is as bad as El rufai

You have taken the man passport, he is a noted man in the society he cant run away .. the court should have just granted bail pending the conclusion of investigation for his trial ..very simple

BUT Tinubu want to show might, humiliate him even though they know they have no strong case.. Its unreasonable for us cirizens to support Abuse of office cos it will get to us tew

Person wey slap your slap go fit ask you to kneel down nd raise up your hands all day

You obviously are sick for saying this. How can you say there are no evidences? Ask the journalists and critics he locked up. Tell that to Daddyata's family. Una just dey pained as Obidients because you guys felt the North will burn and you can have reasons to blame Tinubu but even the North looked the other way as the wicked midget cum Obidient saviour was locked up. With all your sudden useless support for him, Obi still won't get get ADC ticket.

Kastonkastroll:
I'm not even a fan of elrufai but I just feel the government treated the man unfairly. Just look at the baseless charges against him by ICPC and you will know the agency just wanted to nail something on him either by hook or crook. Things that every public servant in Nigeria is guilty of.


And now that he lost his mother, you are granting him bail that was previously declined. See Nuhu ribadu and his friends should leave the man alone.

E don do!

You are only pained because you're an Obidient. Do you know what HellRufai did to people while he was in power?. Some were even jailed 6 months without getting to court at all. We pray that our wicked leaders gets served the same potion they give but somehow clowns like you find excuses to plead for them. Go ask those who suffered in his hands and Malami's hands.

Your likes today support Emefiele, the man who destroyed the nation with his fellow corrupt bankers and power brokers. Y'all need to receive sense o. I pray it's not too late.

Sorry guys I'm the keke driver

I ran away with the purchased goods because hunger wan kee me. I am a die-hard Tinupoo and APC supporter.

I voted for Tinupoo thinking he's a master strategist and ready to make Nigeria 🇳🇬 a better place but he failed me. Now hunger wan kee me… na why I run away with op goods.

Op no vex abeg 😂

Now that you have admitted. I hope he can pursue you and track you down.

Hypocrisy of Obidients all over the thread. They don't want to call Makinde names they normally call Wike. Just same way they want to praise Otti but never see anything good in others even doing better than Otti.

Security operatives believed to be personnel of the Department of State Services DSS have arrested a prominent Islamic cleric and former governorship aspirant in Kaduna State, Sheikh Ahmad Tijjani Umar 24 hours after he hosted presidential hopeful, Peter Obi.
While details of his arrest remain sketchy as at the time of filling this report, the development however underscores the deeply troubling state of Nigeria’s democracy, where freedom of speech and movement is increasingly threatened, and where citizens and perceived political opponents face harassment and unnecessary persecution.

Meanwhile, Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has condemned and raised an alarm over the arrest of the religious leader.

According to Obi, Umar was arrested shortly after he hosted him in Kaduna State on Sunday.

Taking to his X account on Tuesday, the former Governor of Anambra State described the development as a threat to freedom of speech and movement.

He submitted that such troubling developments in Nigeria’s political space must be nipped in the bud.

Obi added that suppression and intimidation of opposition voices by the Nigerian government must stop, noting that the rule of law must pr

“I have just been made aware early this morning that Revered religious leader, Sheikh Ahmad Tijjani Umar has been arrested by authorities shortly after hosting me in Kaduna on Sunday.

“This development underscores the deeply troubling state of our nation and our democracy, where freedom of speech and movement is increasingly threatened, and where citizens and perceived political opponents face harassment and unnecessary persecution. This cannot be allowed to continue.

“This country must defend freedom and free speech, which are the hallmarks of every democratic society. Suppression and intimidation of dissent can never stand in a democratic society, and this Nigerian government must understand this fact.

“I respectfully call on all those bent on undermining our already fragile democracy to please stop and apply the rule of law and tenets of democracy in dealing with citizens,” he wrote.

Obi is more foolish than I imagined. You don't even know the reason he was arrested you started tweeting. Now if he was arrested for financing terrorism that will be a big stain or indictment on Obi to be seeing laughing with a terrorists financier for example. Obi needs to learn how to listen more and talk less. He's damaging his brand everyday.

Cum4me:
how APC will rule for more then 10 solid years and they can't provide common electricity and you're still been deceived with promises. Wake up brother wake up if Tinubu win this next election it will be complete 16 years of backwardness APC brought to us.

Like PDP provided. If you understand governance at all you will know that unless every sector goes the way of Telecom, Nigeria will not achieve anything. In America, power, rail, energy, agriculture everything are in the hands of corporations even defense. All govt can do is subsidize.

Anything else is just pampering and packaging failure.

This one na Tinubu fault again? Obidients keep falling low all in their desperation to tag Tinubu a failure but their messiah Obi couldn't help Anambra people from collect gala and malt to vote.

Average Nigerians are greedy and thieves. If tanker no fall you mean these people here won't eat that day abi?

DO you know that Fuulish man that calls himself President ... Ask Jonathan to resign then, the state of security then was not even as terrible as where we are now

That Uselezz old wag demonized Jonathan for Fuel increase that is not up to #100..under his own govt we are buying fuel over 1000 he is telling us its a necessary reform

As at 2014, Tinubu was agitating for eletronic voting But today the same Tinubu is telling Nigerians No network

A ma that told us #195 is high ... O lo fi okan ba le a maa gbe wa lé ... Any one that decides to still go vote APC again 2027 needs mental check at yaba

How can you say insecurity wasn’t this bad under Jonathan? You get brain at all? Yes both GEJ and Tinubu failed badly on security but under GEJ was a mess and Biharis carelessness led to Fulani militias madness we have today. If Tinubu can get serious with new intels from America and sack Ribadu with that foolish mindset of his brothers he (Tinubu) may just win the war

Kukutente23:
Hypocritus
Did you say this when Jonathan was in power?
I don't see any difference between Tinubu, FFK and Reno
Their words can't be taken seriously
They say one thing today and another tomorrow
Maybe that's why Tinubu made those two jesters his ambassadors

You can say that of Tinubu and FFK but Reno has always come with receipts. You may not like him because he holds your darling Peter Obi by the balls every time but Reno won’t say anything without receipts and when he gets it wrong he would apologize and come clean. We can’t say same for Obi, Atiku, Tinubu or Ameachi nor even HellRufai

Mitsurugi:
But the match continued. Even with CAF officials there at the stadium. Abi even if the ref no sabi couldn't they have advised him? Morocco too should have pressed there and then. They waived their rights when they took that penalty. If Morocco had scored and went on to win would there have been talk of Article 84 or kini kan?

You know in law, the courts can only uphold your prayers. I'm sure what Morocco prayed for was for the trophy to be awarded to them.

I would have preferred maybe a ban on the Senegalese coach and not to take the trophy..but what Senegal did is only a begining, knowing we Africans next tournament, everyone go dey walk out. So we really need to send a signal and can't allow that to happen. No team on earth can claim not to have been favoured ateast once before.
