BelieveAfrica:
This is coming two weeks after such heavy allegation was made. And even the response was shallow and failed to make compelling argument. What's the extent of the contractual agreement between ESI and NDDC? Was due process followed in those award of contract?

What is not heavy? Daring the FG to make public the audit report is not heavy? Nawa for you o.
The onus lies on Wike to provide further details regarding contractual agreements and all what not, not Mrs Amaechi. He made the allegations.
Dem no dey rush matter like that. Wike has to be allowed to fire another shot. Naso dem dey handle this kind matter.

Max24:
Why can't she and her husband sue Wike if it's a lie. They can sue him, is it slander or libel. If it's sure for Ameachi wife let her challenge Wike to prove himself in court otherwise I will believe what Wike said. Ameachi said he does not like money and they are hungry, let them prove it in court.

You no sabi law at all...
The burden of proof lies on Wike who made the allegations.
Sue this, sue that...what sense would that make when the so-called audit report is still held on to?

FreeIgboho:
Did she tell you it was because he sprayed her more money or had better car?
They simply matched. Not because of money or car

Wetin pass you pass you.

What tangible reason did she advance as to why she left her boyfriend?
She just said 'he sprayed her money', they started vibing'.....

Do those statements make any sense?

Anyway, na wedding excitement still dey sha*k her, the marriage journey just dey begin.

PlasmaTV:
Yet, Obi defeated your boss in Lagos and even in Bourdillion. Una no dey shame?

And eventually won the presidential abi?

Poormanpikin:
Political intolerance.
Peter Obi must win the next Presidential election.

Obi's best bet is Vice Presidency.
Any contrary move, he and Atiku will loose again.
Only an Atiku/Obi ticket can displace Tinubu.
Mark my words!

SmartPolician:
You people knew that your father was a monumental disaster of unparalleled proportions, yet you didn't compel him to step aside in 2019?

When Escobar's tenure is over, I am sure he will receive worse words for his maladministration. Those close to him should tell him to jettison his second-term ambition now because nobody will forgive him..even if he asks for it.

Lol.
I do not think so.
Buhari was not a disaster.
We just understand things differently.

owobokiri:
It takes a peculiar brand of madness to state that the number of Anglicans is anywhere close to that of Catholics in any South-east state.
No time for petty arguments here..
Take care

Perhaps the latest version of the same madness you described is what is needed to think that Anambra is all about Catholicism. That is not just madness, but also sheer unwellness.

Common sense should have triggered you to rationalize and appreciate the unprecedented growth of the pentecostal faith in Anambra, and the South east, over the last decade.

Where do these new faiths draw their congregations from? From the sky, I guess. In case your brain is incapable of understanding, let me make it simple, the growth of the pentecostal, and other faiths, simply means a depletion of the Catholic faith. It is that simple. The Catholic faith no longer has that sort of towering influence you are ascribing to it.

I will give you a clear instance, when we talk religious electoral influence in Nigeria, aside from the Sultan of Sokoto and powerful Emirs in the North, we talk of personalities like the Adeboyes, Oyedepos, Enenches etc, before talking about the Kukahs and co. The late President Buhari even visited the RCCG headquarters to push his election as president in 2015. Current President Tinubu benefited hugely from his wife's pentecostal faith and membership of the RCCG to emerge as president.

As a matter of fact, Sen. Oluremi Tinubu's pentecostal affiliation historically neutralized the once unmovable religious conundrum, and delivered the first Muslim-Muslim presidency in Nigeria's democratic dispensation. So, make we leave all the Catholicism hype. It has waned significantly.

Certainly, insanity is what has kept you in a forlorn detachment from the reality of a new Anambra that has been freed from the once tight captivity of your Catholicistic mind world.

TheStranger:
And Babangida couldn't overthrow him until Tunde Idiagbon was lured to Saudi Arabia

And this is supposed to be a statement of fact?
What did the 'almighty' Idiagbon do upon his return from Saudi Arabia?
Perhaps he is still in Saudi Arabia.
My brother, Buhari had a reputation of inspiring confidence among his team, and allowing them prove their mettle, capacities and shinning.

KEVIND:
There's no reason whatsoever unimaid should be renamed after Buhari.
Buhari was a failure in all his lifetime, he did not contributed anything meaningful to the Nigerian society both as a civilian & President. Instead Nigeria care & fed him since his youth till his old age & death.

You really need to go get some healing.
Every Nigerian, who is well, knows of Buhari's effort in birthing the 2nd Niger Bridge after almost four decades. He significantly improved the Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, constructed the Lagos-Ibadan Railway, Apapa-Oshodi-Oworonshoki Highway, Bonny-Bodo Bridge, and several other initiatives.

PMG2024:
Ask yourself, will USA change the name of Harvard University to honour a past president?

Will UK rename University of Oxford or University of Cambridge in honour of a late King or Queen or Prime Minister?

Will University of Toronto alter its name to immortalise a politician?

These are centuries old institutions of learning yet they have three things in common - excellence, consistency, and legacy.

We must stop renaming our educational institutions after politicians. University of Maiduguri is 50 years old this year for heaven's sake.

It is very wrong.

There is nothing wrong with renaming Unimaid after the late president. It does not matter whether it is 50 or 100 years old.

Nigeria is not the UK or US. The late president deserves the honour.

LordIsaac:
Wrestling power from Tinubu will be equivalent to being rescued from kidnappers and handed over to armed robbers.

That analogy is misplaced as far as I am concerned.

Tinubu's father does not own Nigeria.

No one does. It is thinking like yours that keeps us grounded on our knees.

Urgent1Million:
So the first lady comes before the vice president in his list.
WTH wrote that speech for him!!

Una sef!!!
Perhaps the first and second ladies should be acknowledged at the end of his speech.

Incase you do not know, it is only logical and natural for a wife to share in the reverence accorded her husband.

MartinCorridon:
Atiku had 2023 ... all advantages to his side and still managed to mess up his chances.

2027, the opposition is in worse disarray and you expect him to win ?

Nigerians should be praying for the country to improve no matter the leader... but unless God removes Tinubu, no Nigerian politician can.

Obi blew Atiku's best chance in 2023.
And the same Obi is planning to do so again.

D00msDay:
This mentality of urz makes me sick. Removing this evil party should be our priority, not who becomes president or not. Is Peter Obi bigger than Nigeria?

I wonder o.

Peter Obi that could not even perform in Anambra.

omoredia:
No dulling. But if Peter Obi is not the candidate then it is better Tinubu remains

Peter Obi will not be the candidate, and there is nothing you'd do about it.

teadrake:
What is the meaning of all these? This must be fake news because of the way he dressed.

How is it fake news?
Make una dey try study small.
Amaechi holds a significant traditional title in the Daura emirate.

Willy2025:
Seriously, I don't care about his demise. This is a man who had the opportunity to write his name in gold in the history of Nigeria by giving us a worthy successor, after a lackluster 8 years, in the person of Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, but was non-challant thereby allowing Emilokan to take over. I don't owe him any RIP. Pls, click like if you think alike and let's share love.

Lol.
Give you Osibanjo indeed?
How much work did Osibanjo put into becoming president?

Buhari was an outstanding leader, hate him or like him. Dying at 82, he must have been fulfilled.

TheStranger:
Them don start again, na so them package a weak man and sold to Nigerians, forgetting that it was Tunde Idiagbon that was the backbone of that administration.

There is no such as Idiagbon was his backbone.
Buhari is known to show deep respect to his team, especially his next in Command.

He is not the type that is given to self showmanship. Osibanjo shone under Buhari too.

Thundafireseun:
Who else noticed that Jonathan hasn’t sent his condolences yet….Something is truly fishy

Lol.
Small minds everywhere.
What has that got to do with burying the dead?

immortalcrown:
A former president was buried and no president from another country attended the burial? Something is fishy here.

Nothing is fishy anywhere.
It is the small minds of many Nigerians that is, as always, playing a fast one on them.
This is a typical muslim burial. No one waits for dignitaries before conducting islamic burials.

Presidents from other countries will certainly start coming for condolences afterwards.

How many presidents attended Yar'dua's burial?

hisexcellency34:
RIP but who will inherit his 12 million votes in the North?

Atiku is the most likely.
He already has 6million+ votes of the North.
He just needs to work with the Buhari structure.
Just that he lacks consistency.

Mabuggi88:
Go and do your research. I did mine because I loved there for 3years

For 3 years you say?
I am an indigene of Anambra, and stay there for significant amounts of time, yearly.

Kalulu44:
Nope, you're wrong. Just like Lagos so is Anambra. Lagosians will rather die than see another party not APC win Lagos. So is Anambra. Anambra respect and adore Emeka Ojukwu and will not want the only political party "APGA" he created just go away like that.
So Anambrans will want APGA to remain but can vote Obi in presidential election.
My honest take

Lol.
What the Anambra people of today yearn for is real and impactful development.
Leave this Ojukwu sentiment, please.
Obi won't get the ticket of the coalition, so the talk of voting him in the presidential election is out of the question.
Did you hear of the unity pact by the coalition?
The whole idea is to cage those who loose in the coalition primary. Obi will very likely be one of them. They will be obliged to work for the winner.

Freshtruth:
Atiku must step down for Amechi and obi to battle for ADC ticket The north has rule for 8years is now the turn or south . Oga rest

You want the single practicable permutation in all of these?
By 2027, democracy will have stayed for an uninterrupted 28 years in Nigeria, since its return in 1999.
In the 28 years, Southern Nigeria will have, by 2027, ruled for 18 years (Obasanjo's 8 years + Jonathan's 6 years + Tinubu's 4 years), while Northern Nigeria will have being in power for 10 years (Yar'dua's 2 years + Buhari's 8 years).

This is simple. The North should produce the next president to close the ten years disparity; and like him or hate him, Atiku is the best card.

Some non-critical individuals may want to ask about the North's dominating rule during the military. Anyways, I will wait for that before I respond.

JAWBONE:
Slaves of the Iragbiji slave master will soon come and cry like one of them above.

The difference between what Peter Obi is doing and other politicians is that other politicians only do this 3 month to elections.

Peter Obi has consistently identified with the average Nigerian election or no election. As Governor he was accessible, as Presidential candidate the same thing.

This is not an act, it is his nature.

I don't expect slaves to understand this. Of course, a slave cannot run shoulders with his master.

Lol.
It is not an act indeed.
Have you been with Obi before?
Una go just dey talk wetin una no sabi.

ADCagent:
We at our great party ADC knows that Obi is an upright and trustworthy person, that is capable of sustaining our democracy and making Nigeria work again.

Wike was right about Obi, biko.
Lets stop all of these saintly imaging of Obi.
If not for dishonesty, why would Obi conduct LGA elections just 3 months to leaving office?
Obi only conducted elections to put Obiano in check. That was dishonest.
I am an Anambra man, Obi is no saint, just like me and you.

Buccalcavity2:
Yet Buhari nominated Ngozi Okonjo Iweala for WTO,bigger than AFDB? Until he gives you his kidney and makes your kinsman president that he will not be a tribalist? Victim mentality, mischief and blackmail will not win elections!

You dey mind them.

They are permanently in the captivity of hate.

owobokiri:
This funny Anambrarian feom Okitipupa..,
What is the percentage of non Catholics when juxtaposed to Catholics in Anambra or even Imo state..?

You just showed how ignorant you are.

If you do not know, the population of Catholics and Anglicans in Anambra are not far from being at an equilibrium, this is without accounting for Traditional Worshippers, Methodists and Pentecostals, among others, who also represent a significant number.

Perhaps you are incapable of recognizing that only Catholics have emerged as governors of Anambra state in the last 26 years.

I guess, for you, the reason for this is superficially due to their number. Anyway, analyze however you deem fit. I have said what I said.

Mabuggi88:
65% Anambrarians are Catholic, it will difficult to have a close associates that is not a Catholic in Anambra. You can use other biased base to justify your assertion but definitely not about catholicism

That can not be correct by any means.

So, what percentages do you allocate to Anglicans, Pentecostals, Traditional Worshippers and Non-worshippers, if Catholics take 65%?

Justnation:
Jonathan is a good and detribalised leader.

This is what PETER OBI would have done also.

Tribal leaders we have today would have nominated their own irrespective of competency.

Vote PETER OBI , forget tribal sentiment

I can bet you that not only will Obi be tribalistic about that nomination, he'd ensure he nominated a Catholic.

Yes, say I said it. I am from Anambra as well. You want proofs?

The first time he wanted Obiano out, he brought Oseloka Henry Obaze, a Catholic, to become Governor. The second time, it was yet another Catholic, Val Ozigbo, to replace Obiano.

Kptech:
Lol
Ass licking 🤣.... This one de find appointment.
Well, I kuku trust Tinubu

Oga, you did not read the post.

I can help you. Start from the paragraph where you have 'In a statement titled.....', count the paragraphs, start from the 9th to the 15th or 16th.

Bro, I am yet to see such brilliant, articulate and factual remark as those of Dr. Saraki in the last few years.

Just go read am. He intelligently roasted Akpabio by saying the National Aseembly was drifting and not as virile as it should be. He also finished Tinubu by talking about how subtly he is influencing a one-party National Assembly.

In the same speech he acknowledged Akpabio as his friend and for not minding the President's body language in inviting him.

If you have mastery of the art of reading between the lines, you will doff your cap for the writer of that speech and Dr. Saraki. It is so glaring that Dr. Saraki played a significant role in the content development and construction of that speech.

I am surprised I am speaking this way of Dr. Saraki. I think that this is the most highly I have ever spoken of him.
