right now the subject is about tinubu and his greed for power without a hoot about how further down he has taken the country. Please don’t derail us by trying to talk about Peter obi, if you don’t like him then there are other options but please don’t try to abuse our sensibilities trying to sell tinubu that grabbed power but so clueless on how to govern but to greedily hold on to it.

Vice President Kashim Shettima has stirred fresh political debate after declaring that Nigeria’s presidency cannot be attained through coercion, while also suggesting that there are more qualified leaders from the South-East than Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Speaking on the country’s political climate, Shettima stressed the importance of inclusivity and consensus-building in a diverse nation like Nigeria. According to him, leadership must be built on trust and broad national acceptance rather than pressure tactics.

“In a multi-ethnic, multi-religious politics like ours, nobody can bulldoze his way to power through deceit, intimidation, threats or blackmail,” he said. “You get to power by building bridges and reaching out.”

The Vice President, however, expressed support for the emergence of a president from the South-East, describing it as a potential step toward healing longstanding historical divisions dating back to the civil war.

“I am for the emergence of a Nigerian president of South-Eastern extraction to heal the wounds of the civil war,” Shettima noted, though he criticized what he described as certain confrontational approaches adopted by some political actors from the region.

His remarks took a more direct turn when he asserted that the South-East has individuals he considers more qualified for the presidency than Obi, referring to the former Anambra State governor in pointed terms.

Shettima highlighted former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha as one such figure, praising his national reach and political experience across different regions of the country. He also commended former Ebonyi State Governor David Umahi for his infrastructural record, describing him as one of the most effective leaders to have emerged from the South-East.

Drawing from Nigeria’s political history, the Vice President emphasized the role of grassroots mobilization and alliances in achieving electoral success. He referenced the late Shehu Musa Yar’Adua’s strategy of building nationwide support networks, underscoring that political victories are often determined by coalition-building rather than regional popularity.

Shettima’s comments are expected to generate reactions across the political spectrum, particularly among supporters of Peter Obi, who remains a prominent opposition figure with strong backing among young voters and urban populations.

Political observers say the statement may also signal early positioning ahead of the 2027 general elections, as conversations around power rotation and regional representation continue to shape Nigeria’s political discourse.

As debates intensify, Shettima’s remarks have once again brought to the fore the complex dynamics of leadership, regional equity, and political strategy in Africa’s most populous nation.

Pity obi benefited so much from abacha appointment, so I’m surprised that people are still wondering why he’s always praising abacha! The same man that hanged the precious sons of south south and directed his henchmen to pour acids on their corpse.

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Terrorists Brutally Flog NSCDC Officer in Ekiti Captivity Video, Begs "I Use Allah Beg You" — No Rescue Operation Launched

A disturbing video has emerged showing a Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) officer in captivity, being brutally assaulted by his terrorist captors in Ekiti State. The footage, shared by activist Rinu Oduala, shows heavily armed men repeatedly flogging the officer with a cane while he cries and pleads for mercy. Our grandpa will pretend like he didn’t see how the country he is presiding over has become a jungle under his watch

The distressed victim is heard speaking in pidgin English: "I don dey look. Sorry, I use Allah beg you," as the attackers continue their assault. Oduala expressed outrage that as of the time of her statement, no visible rescue operation had been launched by security agencies to locate or free the abducted officer.

The most important thing is that u understood the message of Garykoeman clearly, Gringory Obi is wasting his time doing boy boy.

Just less than a year ago, the Agulu nomadic politician was doing same waka waka laboring in vain for The LP.

Jonjam269:
The serial party defector Peter Obi is merely putting on a show for the public, labouring in vain and staging the last performance of a tired, worn-out masquerade before fading into political irrelevance.

garykoeman:
Obi will ended up embarrassing himself by the time APC is declared winner.

Atiku has already seen the hand written on the wall. Reason he stayed away from any campaign.

ADC I repeat only existed online.

Offline they are not visible.

Turji however denied claims that he was paid ₦30 million as part of the engagement.

Notorious bandits leader, Bello Turji, has confirmed that he held peace talks with officials of the Zamfara State government during the previous administration led by Bello Matawalle who is now the Minister of State for defence.

Turji however denied claims that he was paid ₦30 million as part of the engagement.
The real headline should be the most notorious terrorist in nigeria and the present minister of defence are allies and occasionally hace a tea meeting.

In an audio message circulated online, Turji rejected allegations made by Musa Kamara, a former peace mediator appointed by the Zamfara State government, describing the claim of a ₦30 million payoff as “a lie.”

“By Allah, since I was born, I have never possessed even five million naira,” Turji said. “What I am doing is not for personal gain. We were never given that ₦30 million you are talking about.”

Turji said the meeting with state officials was part of a peace initiative and insisted that he did not personally benefit financially from the process. He accused Kamara of giving “false testimony” and betraying the trust established during the negotiations.


“We agreed on peace when the Zamfara State government appointed you,” Turji said. “But what you are saying now is full of lies. I did not even receive three million naira.”

The bandit leader also accused former political leaders in Zamfara and Sokoto states of fuelling violence in the region, alleging that they armed groups and encouraged the formation of vigilantes that targeted Fulani communities.

“We say openly that former governors of Zamfara and Sokoto, alongside Ahmed Sani Yerima, are responsible for the calamities that befell these states,” Turji claimed, calling for their arrest and investigation.

In the message, Turji sought to portray his actions as a response to insecurity and alleged injustice, insisting that he was not acting on behalf of any political interest.

“We are not politicians, and we are not tools of politicians,” he said. “There is no human being backing us.”

Turji, who has been linked to mass killings, kidnappings, and large-scale displacement across Zamfara and neighbouring states, did not address specific accusations of attacks attributed to his group.

Instead, he framed his comments as a personal defence, saying he was answering “before Allah alone.”

Nigerian security agencies have repeatedly identified Bello Turji as one of the most dangerous armed group leaders operating in the North-West, with the military previously declaring him wanted over terror-related activities.

Earlier this week, there was a report that the Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu has petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS), claiming that Primate Elijah Ayodele, Leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church asked him to purchase about 1,000 trumpets valued at roughly N150 million, adding that his refusal allegedly led to a prophecy predicting he would not become governor of Oyo State.

Primate Ayodele has since dismissed the allegations.
After they will say don't speak against the men of God but is this type also a man of God?

Today, the Internet has been agog with a series of SMS allegedly shared between the minister and the Primate.

The SMS, which are screenshot into 27 places, are presented below:
