I’m beginning to think Wicked Wike is the heir apparent to Tinubu. I don’t see anyone in the Tinubu camp capable of filling his shoes and the way Wike is dishing out political knock out blows and uppercuts left right and center!

I’m not talking about presidency, I am talking about the political God father……or Lord of the political terrain for those who don’t like to hear Godfather!

I’m not sure it’s a good thing f that happens though!

kmst:
You must be a brain dead fool
The man pulled 6m with only social media structure!

That’s the point, that is his peak votes. In a 2 horse race with Tinubu, North despite what they say will align with Tinubu

1/ because Tinubu has only 1 term to go. The north will rather endure a known quantity for 4 years than GEJ mk2 who will want 2 terms once he gets to office.
2/ because it means Atiku isn’t contesting and there is no heavy weight in the North that can pull the votes AS a VP.
3/ Becauae Obi is unelectable has has athe toga of a tribal hero
4/ like it or not 1966 coup has not gone away. So if an Ibo becomes president it is not an Ibo like Obi.

VnAhunnaPl:
Peter Obi is the only candidate that can give Tinubu a good fight.

Obi v Tinubu, 2 horse race? Tinubu will win by 10 am.

Story for the gods! Tell that to your wife.

Even ugochinyere wey become your spokesman abandon you.

helinues:
Abi, including Pdp and LP members

The opposition is a joke. PDP presidential
Candidate and governors were making noise condemning the SOE yet They couldn’t get their NASS members to toe the line of the party? If this were APC and they were against it, not a single APC member would vote for it. This is the difference between PDP and APC…. Lack of party discipline. The whole crisis was caused in a PDP state.

These are the people that want to run a country? These are the people that want to unseat an organized and disciplined party?

TechBaron:
I was telling a friend this morning that Tinubu has a way of always getting what he wants... And that's because in Nigeria, every consequential person has his price, and baba is ready to pay!

Back then people were complaining about the country turning into a one party state.. Now, none of the arm of government is independent... The president has control over everybody, from top to bottom!

It's the system.

There's nothing anyone can just do about it.

There's no remedy!

And some people think they can form coalition?

They don’t know who they are dealing with. When we tell them that Tinubu is the biggest political maestro this country has ever produced by a long shot they think we are just making noise.

If you couldn’t stop him from getting to the seat, you can’t remove him. The man is 4 steps ahead of the next best.

Dickson and Ugo Chinyere were making noise. No objection! They say Northbwas against Tinubu, all lined up behind him. Asari Dokino that was making noise a few days ago now says agreement is agreement!

Jagaban Borgu! I doff my hat!

ruggedtimi:
From ordinary change seat wey no go cost her 3 secs...she don dey fall her /husband hands for the country. Definitely her husband no go fit align with Senators again...

Even yesterday a Senator tried to speak from a seat that wasn’t his. Akpabio pointed it out to him and he said sorry band promptly moved to his seat.

Nobody heard anything about it.

I thought no read a story a few years ago that she died!

discusant:
*NDIGBO THIS FIGHT IS NOT YOUR FIGHT!*

The country is boiling again.

Emotions are high once again.

But Igbos must be very circumspect this time.

Nigeria is a country with no soul nor spirit.

It was an artifical construction.

We must tread with caution.

Remember 1966.

The crisis was in Yorubaland.

Between Awolowo and Ladoke Akintola, the Premier of Western Region.

The press called it Wild Wild West

Then "Operation Wetie" started.

Then the constitutional crisis.

Awolowo was thrown into Enugu prison by Balewa.

Then the state of emergency by the government of Balewa.

There was nationwide anger and frustration.

Then a group of military officers intervened to save the situation in 1966.

It was termed "Igbo coup".

The source of the crisis was forgotten.

Operation Wetie was forgotten.

Igbos became the devils that didn't want Nigeria to work.

Igbos became scapegoated for a crisis that started from Yorubaland.

Then the killing of Igbos started nationwide.

The pogrom was bloody.

No ethnic group spoke for the Igbos.

Ojukwu retreated to the East.

Igbos retreated to the East.

Ojukwu released Awolowo who was imprisoned by the Balewa government.

Awolowo returned to Yorubaland and teamed up with the rest to join the war efforts against Igbos.

He became friends with those who cast him into prison at the expense of Igbos.

At the end of both the progrom and civil war approximately 5 million Igbo lives were wasted.

Because of a crisis they knew nothing about.

and for involving in a fight that wasn't theirs.

I can see a pattern emerge here once again.



The Corper who rightly called EmiloRogue a terrible person is not Igbo.

But Igbos una blood too dey hot.

You want to save Nigeria again.

Stay in your region and allow Nigerians cancel themselves.

Don't be a hero.

Don't waste your lives.

Don't draw unnecessary war on Igbo land.

Let the saviours emerge from Yorubaland.

Let the deliverers rise from the North.

The Igbos must remain calm as spectators.

Nigeria is a country without soul or spirit.

It only has a body clothed in evil.




You can see the bile and poison that constantly emerge from their hearts and mouths in anything that involves Igbos.

Their target is not Rivers.

They are baying for Igbo blood once again.

Don't try to save Nigeria.

The country was set up for the destruction of its inhabitants.

Don't allow vultures like Bayo Onanuga and imbeciles like Tope Fasua spit over your graves once again.

1966 must not be re-enacted in Igboland, their nemesis.

I just say make I download a piece of history for your guidance.

Nigeria can only make progress in darkness.

Nigeria is irredeemable.
The Igbos narrowly escaped being slaughtered in the aftermath of the June 12, elections, largely due to the wisdom displayed by Prof. Humphrey Nwosu in refusing to play the hero in officially and duely announcing Abiola as the winner of the election as desired by the cunning Yoruba. If he had done that, the Yoruba would have receded to reap the benefits then and the igbos would have incurred the angst of the Fulani north for a trigger to our massacre. Sure, it almost happened.
Now another scenario beckons.
*Do not die in their war!*

Ojukwu did not release Awolowo. To start with Awolowonwas a federal prisoner. Ojukwu had no power to release him. If you had any ounce of intelligence, that would have triggered an alert that what I am writing here is not possible.

Awo was Pardoned and released by Gowon

Below is the official gazette.

As for the rest lets just say the evidence of the lie about Ojukwu lie is typical of the Ibo propaganda. Who is the chief supporter who led Fubara astray? A certain UgonChinyere from IMO. Did you hear his Nay voice When the vote was called in the house?

The crisis was indeed in Yoruba land but who staged the coup and then just as you are doing now, when it backfires you say nothing to do with us! Who are the majority of people encouraging Fubara and his illegality Obidients and ugochinyere now you say e no concern you?

Who were the people that hijacked endears riot and started looting and burning?

You always instigate or add fuel to crises. When it backfires in you as it usually does since you don’t use your brains, you then say nothing to do with us leave us alone.

It’s your MO and we know!

BREAKING: Wike’s ally, Ojukaye Amachree, accompanies Administrator of Rivers State, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (Rtd) to government house in Port Harcourt, Rivers State

Ojukaye Amachree is the Director of Energy Security within the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA)

🤔🤔🤔

Ton

So you see the reach of the people against you and you are allowing obidients to deceive you?

helinues:
Suspended not removed

These people went to school, the school didn’t stay in them.

Peterobiisathie:
we are not following the rule of law in this country
what is Fubara's Picture still doing that office?

He is still the governor

Impliment:
What is the meaning of cases being defective?

Basically technicality. You don’t have locus standi etc


In the case of Plateau, the attorney general did not have the mandate of the sole administrator to take the case to court. So the case was dismissed and not heard.

Jagaban is not your mate!

ElRufai lied. The Supreme Court decided that the cases were defective and did not delve into the issue.

harrypetty:
So the law of the land is no longer enough to guide us again. Na the whims of political egos remain abi. Keep allowing illegality because you think it doesn't concern you. Sha don't wail on the day it will concern you well well.
Cos if you do, na your tears we go take drink gari o

What law as he broken. The law gives the National Assembly 48 hrs to cancel the order. The suspension does not take effect Until ratified by the assembly and if it isn’t end of story! The assembly can either defeat the proclamation of amend it.

I really am tired of being quoted by eeediots with stooopid emotional comments.

He declared SOE according to the law, the process is not complete until ratified by tue assembly. That’s the process.

I repeat this was a genius move by Tinubu. It has saved face for 2 groups who driven by ego refused to back down and would have created a crisis that would have affected the rest of the country.

Wike can say na Tinubu save Fubara
And Fubara is saved from impeachment.


Be under no illusions neither side would have backed down.


All these commentary by Atiku and other fifth columnists shows they are irresponsible leaders if they can’t see where this was heading

The assembly will likely not ratify the proclamation in which case Fubara and the assembly will be back in 0ffice tonight. When Fubara is impeached don’t point fingers at Tinubu, he tried to avert it.

owobokiri:
Because he started fighting for the survival of the PDP against the evil machinations of Wike his benefactor?All of a sudden, his file has now been opened. EFCC has now become the attack dog of the president in power under the evil party of witches and wizards called the APC.

Person wey no thief Dey get file?

EarlierDawn:
Would Buhari have declared a state of emergency and sacked Fubara if it had happened under him?

Buhari wotuldn’t and this is the reason why.

The toga of a military dictator clearly haunted Buhari as civilian president. He went out of his way to be seen as a rule of law president and a democrat even when the right move was t be decisive and tough. This is a major reason Buhari disappointed on many fronts.

The issues with rule of law, rights etc is that it assumes you are dealing with Responsible reasonable citizens. To start with no responsible country has a governor and the house in a war for 2 years such that you pull down the assembly, pass laws with 10% members of the house deny salaries to elected officials etc et.

Buhari wouldn’t but that was why his regime was what it was.

Those criticizing Tinubu are the same People always shouting Obasanjo was the best president (not me). But nobody flagrantly broke the law, violated the constitution like OBJ!

Buhari Did many good things but biggest failings And what’s sticks in the minds of people despite his huge infrastructure drive etc are rooted in the fact that he was too weak to do what needed to be done.

Nigeria is not for ice cream sellers!

Seezion2:
Following the role he played that led to the declaration of state of emergency and the removal of Fubara as governor of Rivers State, FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike must've incurred the wrath of Nigerins and there's no way they could keep it to themselves, thus storming his official Facebook page to unleash their anger after he made a post of a meeting he chaired as the minister of where project worth over N2B was approved..

Check below for screenshoots.

I like how obidients always say Nigerians like they speak for all Nigerians.

Mumusaphire:
sorry, how is it serious that tinubu cant call wike to order or sack him as well?

Why is our level of thinking so poor?

I have asked How does sacking Wike solve the problem.....nobody Has answered.

Do people not realize sacking Wike only makes matters worse because if he is sacked, He will only dig his heels even more in Rivers because he can’t afford to lose his control of Rivers?

Are the assembly members going to stop impeachment proceedings or suddenly become buddies of the governor because Wike is sacked? Or that is In fact when they will escalate their war against the governor Because he Cannot afford to lose on both fronts ?

Why don’t we ever think things through before we talk?

Gggjhhj:
Some of you write like you think from your anus, if Wike is removed as minister, that is his end

There should be an IQ test before people are allowed on social media and the internet. Certain levels of stupidity should not be On display for the world to read.

The world talks about Nigeria and its youthful population. The fact that these are mostly daft and poorly educated should not be on display to the world. A family hides its retracted offsprings in shame.

hopedey:
Tinubu committed an impeachable offense by suspending an executive governor that was voted for without the senate and house of representatives deliberating on it.


Time will tell

He hasn’t suspended him.! He has only started the process. The suspension only takes effect if the house passes it. If the house passes it there is no impeachment, if they don’t Then by law, there was no suspension.

Nigerians don’t understand official processes. Just like you shave not defected until you write a letter resigning from your party and formally register with another party.

JASONjnr:
So apparently, because she's a woman, she's truthful at all times?

Saying that a man held her hands is a sexual harassment?

Many senators who went to the said birthday party .the December she claimed she was sexually harassed said she was throwing herself on the senate president and went to sit next to him and he told her to go to where other senator ls where seated.

You people are insinuating nonsense....

Since you don't want to be reasonable.... Do you have evidence of her claims? Can you go to her privately and beg her to tender her evidence of sexual harassment?

If you can't make anything about her claims.... Please stay away from making stupid comments....

Natasha is a scumbag, but recall is an exercise in futility. I don’t know why people bother or the thought process that even goes into expending energy on fruitless ventures.

Brown roof dwellers Bot is back, you and your people are so shameless, spit

There are times I wish you people whether Obidients, IPOB, Militants, Etc can have your way So you cann reap the rewards of your foolishness. The problem is because we are one country we also pay for it because when you destroy your zones in the name of gra gra and false bravery, it is our zone you run to and overcrowd and overwhelm!

There is a reason the SW is the safest and most peaceful region. Nobody invests in regions with instability, its also why were are the economic hub of Nigeria. Teerorism has killed the North, IPOB has killed the SE, militancy has driven investment away from the SS. All new major oil investments are offshore. Dangote just announced a new port and a new cement factory. I can’t remember any major investment in any of these zones plaques by Terrosism, banditry or militancy.


So continue with the bragging, false bravery and no gree for anybody mentality. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. There is a reason nobody is investing in these zones and flocking to the SW. We are peaceful people In deed not talk. We solve problems maturely! What is the gain in bravery in a desolate abandoned land?

id911:
Constitution was amended after that debacle to give clarify that the President can't do such in a democratic settings.

President can declare the SoE but can't suspend elected officials. That was why President Jonathan couldn't remove the Governors when he declared SoE in some states in the North East.

It is not enough to say the constitution was amended. State the section that was amended and the amendment to it.

Yesterday there were reports of a so called amendment that gave the president the right to suspend a governor. It turns out while the senate indeed passed the bill, Buhari never assented to or signed it! Even a so called Lawyer made a mockery of himself on X by citing an amendment that was not signed into law!

There are many Bills that are passed by one house but not the other or passed by both but not signed b the president.

Educated people should post like educated people. When you submit your dissertation or thesis you cite references. You will get marked down for not doing so. These are fundamental training expected of an educated person. This is what going to university is all about...the thought and argument process!

billyG:
WIKE is the cause

Ok so Tinubu sacks Wike! What next? Is it a Wike that has been sacked by Tinubu that will sit down and watch Fubara win in Rivers?

Please sometimes we should even try and pretend we have a brain and can think. Contrary to what some may think it doesn’t hurt to use our brains.

Pierocash:
Stupid talk. So they are aware that the 27 dishonourable lawbreakers initiated impeachment proceedings against Fubara, but suddenly fail to be aware that this cartel and gang of 27 lawbreakers avoided budget presentation, and have been harassing Fubara and CJ , but they still turned around to blame Fubara. These guys have been hitting up the polity since the supreme Court injustice, yet tinubu and his men still turned around to still blame Fubara. Wicked , dishonest, and crooked elders

Fubara was only playing to the gallery. He was at a scheduled event an hr later Which means he had no plans to present any budget. He knew what would happen would happen. That’s why he came in through the entrance he did.

Most Nigerians can’t see beyond their noses. Most Nigerians are shallow thinkers. Better pray he gets the votes needed because the alternative will be unimaginable.

Imagine what happens if the house returns and succeeds in impeaching Fubara? They had not impeached him his boys Had set off explosions....some say 3.

The reason Tinubu has the power to suspend a governor and the house under emergency rule Is THEY ARE THE CAUSE of the problem!

This is different from other Past situations.

benuejosh:
Tinubu is doing well but on this particular emergency ruling, i no too support am.

Why is he taking so much side with Wike in this political fight between two people. What agreement to they (Wike and Tinubu) have secretly? Is it because he wants to use Wike to destabilize the opposition party for his second tenure that he is giving Wike a field day in Rivers state? Omoh, questions full my mind concerning this emergency ruling.

Let me ask you a question?

Let’s say he sacks Wike, does it stop the impeachment process? Are the other faction going to stop their war with Fubara? Do you not realize sacking Wike only makes matters worse because the Wike faction then have to take out Fubara by any means necessary? The answer is no! If Fubara is impeached, what will the militants do? Do you now understand why he can’t sack Wike and can’t allow the impeachment. Therefore SOE is his only tool at the moment to save Fubara from impeachment.

Opposition is already destabilized.

If it fails, the next step is impeachment. And we know how the militants will react to impeachment. Crude production will go down, Naira will fall. More hardship in an already hard economy.

The same Nigerians opposed to SOE will be Scrambling up and down pointing fingers at the same President who tried to avert it .

Nigerians are funny people!
