Have they arrested the useless Reverend Father of a Governor before mass the arrest of innocent citizens? Nonsense.
givedemwotowoto: The development followed the blockade of Obi's convoy by angry youths during Tuesday's visit to Benue State for his political campaign ahead of the 2027 presidential election, and to pay a visit to the Yelewata, where he was billed to meet and commiserate with victims of the June 2025 attacks.
The police have paraded 46 suspects in connection with Tuesday’s ‘attack’ on the convoy of the presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, Peter Obi, along the Makurdi-Gboko federal highway.
Addressing journalists in Makurdi, the Commissioner of police, Cletus Nwadiogbu, said the investigation is still ongoing as key leaders of the youths are being trailed, warning that the police in Benue State will not allow any act of political intolerance as the general election approaches.
The development followed the blockade of Obi’s convoy by angry youths during the visit to Benue State for his political campaign ahead of the 2027 presidential election, and to pay a visit to the Yelewata, where he was billed to meet and commiserate with victims of the June 2025 attacks.
However, trouble started a few meters away from the airport when his convoy ran into a full roadblock on the two-lane Makurdi-Gboko federal highway by the angry youths.
The blockade led to traffic congestion as the road was closed to all users while the police did little to disperse the youths from the highway.
Reacting to the situation, the NDC presidential candidate called on young Nigerians to avoid being used as tools by the ruling class that has created the poor economic conditions they now live in.
“It is ridiculous. Our experience this morning is very very worrisome. We arrived Makurdi at 9 AM, but on our way to the Yelewata community, to console and show solidarity with the family affected by the killings of over 270 persons in that community, and support them in any way I can, only to be blocked by thugs shouting, ‘Peter Obi go back!. Peter Obi go back!’
“And I was wondering: are we still in Nigeria? Because, even the campaign I have started, I should be able to move around freely. But we didn’t want to go on and cause confusion and possibly endanger the lives of other people, so I decided to remain as civil as possible.
“I am using this occasion to appeal to the security agencies, the IG of police, and other agencies, to please intervene and be able to call various state governors to order. I was a state governor myself. This rascality cannot be allowed. We are a country, and can we confront these people on our own if these people cannot provide us with security?
“We can not go on this way. This is unacceptable”, Obi lamented.
On his past, Keyamo noted that the prevention of Obi from proceeding to the venue of his visit should be condemned by all.
“Whether the protest was as a result of internal squabbles within the NDC (as posited by the Benue State Government) or sponsored by the APC or any other rival party, this should not be part of our democracy.
“Some have also accused Obi of attempting to whip up fresh emotions by attempting to visit Yelwata where the unfortunate killings happened more than a year ago just for political reasons, hence the blockade.
“That is still not acceptable; everyone should be allowed to move about freely and play their politics without such crude interference.
“However, there is no better time to draw attention of Nigerians and the world to the spin that the partisan section of the media usually put to such incidents.
“Many a time when an angry crowd confronts or molests an APC candidate at any level, the partisan Press shamelessly dubs or spins it as ‘rejection’ by ‘Nigerians’. When it concerns the opposition, then it is ‘attack’ by ‘sponsored thugs’ or ‘hoodlums’.
“Just check most headlines today. This is what is unacceptable. In fact, many opposition leaders openly boasts that the APC candidates cannot go to some parts of this country and shout ‘APC!’ without being ‘stoned’, ‘beaten’ or molested, yet the partisan Press do not call out such leaders and even help to accentuate such statements. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander.
“The Press must extricate itself from such partisanship and be fair to all. Whoever is angry at any candidate of any political party should display the anger with the ballot paper on voting day by a simple thumbprint, not by violent acts during campaigns”, Keyamo stated in a tweet via his official X handle.
Benue State Denies Blockade
The Benue State Government on Tuesday rejected allegations by Obi that thugs working for the state government blocked him from accessing Yelewata community.
In a statement issued by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Tersoo Kula, the state government denied any involvement in the incident and described Obi’s allegation as unfounded.
The government said the claim was an attempt to drag Governor Hyacinth Alia and the Benue State Government into what it described as a possible internal political matter within the NDC.
“We wish to emphatically deny that the government of Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia has an idea of what Mr. Obi is talking about,” Kula said.
The statement also questioned whether Obi visited Makurdi on Tuesday, citing what it described as his antecedents of making untrue statements against the state.
The government said Obi was not a threat to Governor Alia, adding that even if he posed any security concern, recognised security agencies, rather than thugs, would be responsible for handling such a situation.
It said Governor Alia was committed to peace and the rule of law, insisting that his administration does not “engage, patronize, or deploy thugs as instruments of governance or security.”

It is well, we'll get it right someday, I believe in Allah!!!
Freshtruth: President Tinubu’s wife, Remi Tinubu wants Nigerians to praise her husband because he is now sleeping at 3am every day trying to solve Nigeria insecurity problems. “My Husband Now Sleeps At 3am,
I can assure you, we don’t have Mondays or Sundays. The President is working round the clock to get this matter resolved. At times, Mr President will sleep at 3:00am and God has been faithful".
How many hours of sleep does the First Lady think an average Nigerian gets a day.
What about the kidnapped victims who are in the bush for the past 3 months sleeping under the rain, sun and cold.
What about the fathers and mothers who are awake all night thinking about how to feed and pay their children’s school fees.
The president doesn’t should be awake all night if he has to, to make sure Nigerians are protected.
Thunder fire you for playing politics with a sensitive matter of this nature, it will never be well with you, one way or the other, you'll feel the pains of these families, na swear I swear for you!!!!
Actions like this are why I want to me more Christianed!!!!
[quote author=Chickenandchips post=139544299]Lady arrested after using torn Bible pages to smoke weed
A disturbing video making rounds on social media has sparked widespread reactions after a Nigerian lady was reportedly apprehended for smoking weed wrapped in torn pages of the Bible.
In the viral footage, the woman, dressed in a colourful outfit and a white hijab, was seen holding what appeared to be cannabis rolled with pages allegedly torn from a Bible while being questioned by a man behind the camera.
During the exchange, the woman openly admitted to the act and appeared unbothered by the accusations levelled against her.
“I am very proud of what I’m using,” she said.
When asked whether she was smoking the substance, the woman responded, “Yes, to pray!”
The man recording the video claimed the woman had previously undergone rehabilitation after authorities reportedly removed her two children from her custody over concerns about her mental and emotional condition.
According to him, she had shown signs of recovery after receiving treatment and allegedly promised to stop smoking weed before she was allowed to return home.
He, however, alleged that the woman recently relapsed and was again caught smoking cannabis wrapped in pages torn from the Bible.
“She tears a portion of the Bible and wraps the weed with it. This is what she’s smoking,” [/b]the man said in the clip.
The narrator further claimed the woman caused a disturbance near the entrance of a children’s school earlier in the day, prompting concerned individuals to intervene.
[b]“She has deteriorated seriously and has been causing nuisance,” he added.
You see your life outside the window? Nothing you don't attach ethnic sentiments to.....what happened to 2014/2015 demonstration? Abi it is a different God they now worship?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8dnpvRNDi8 Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has strongly rejected allegations by Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, that he is working as an agent of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to destabilise the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Wike made the remarks on Wednesday while speaking with journalists during an inspection of ongoing infrastructure projects in the Jahi and Kuje districts of Abuja.
Describing the accusation as “embarrassing and baseless,” Wike said the claim reflects inconsistency on the part of the Bauchi governor.
According to him, such allegations are not new, noting that many individuals who previously accused him of disloyalty to the PDP have since defected to the APC.
“These accusations of me being planted are not new. Those who made them before—where are they today? They are now in APC,” Wike said.
He questioned the credibility of the claims, arguing that he has remained in the PDP despite openly supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu since the 2023 elections.
“I have said clearly that I will not leave the PDP. At the same time, I will continue to support the President. That has always been my position,” he added.
Wike also accused Bala Mohammed of political inconsistency, alleging that the governor had previously sought his support to influence the emergence of the PDP National Secretary—an appeal he said he rejected.
The FCT Minister further claimed that during the 2022–2023 election period, Mohammed privately approached him in Port Harcourt to propose support for Tinubu, despite later aligning with former PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.
“The same person who came to meet me to support Tinubu later moved to Atiku. This is the kind of inconsistency Nigerians are watching,” Wike said.
He criticised Mohammed’s recent political stance, describing him as unstable and lacking in clear direction.
Wike also dismissed the governor’s demand for the position of PDP National Secretary for his faction, arguing that such a request was unrealistic given his current political standing.
“You cannot negotiate from a position of weakness and demand such a key position. That is not how it works,” he stated.
Despite ongoing tensions within the party, Wike maintained that the PDP remains strong, pointing to the successful conduct of its recent national convention as evidence of its resilience.
Reaffirming his loyalty, he insisted he has no intention of leaving the party, even as he continues to back the current administration.
Meanwhile, Bala Mohammed had earlier accused Wike of political persecution during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily. He alleged that the FCT Minister was behind legal actions initiated against him, including petitions to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Mohammed also criticised President Tinubu’s administration, describing Wike as a negative influence and accusing him of working against the PDP from within.
“You cannot be in two places at the same time,” Mohammed said, questioning Wike’s dual alignment with the PDP and the APC-led federal government.
The exchange highlights deepening divisions within the PDP as key figures continue to trade accusations over loyalty and the party’s future direction.
During the past week, Omoyele Sowore said that the only opposition in Nigeria is himself thereby downplaying Peter Obi and other candidates. Now Peter Obi and Others were invited by Rabiu Kwankwaso to Kano where the massive crowd that came chanted Peter Obi's name.
Sowore has now come out again to criticize Peter Obi saying that the crowd that came out in Kano was rented, further stating that the crowd that welcomed him in ABia is real. It should be stated clearly that the reason Sowore went to Abia was to stage a protest for Nnamdi Kanu release, a man who is very popular in the south east.
This attacck is now confirming that Sowore is truly sponsored by the APC and President Tinubu. Watch video:
You're delusional, this cheap propaganda kill you there.

As of early 2026, Siminalayi Fubara is recognized as the leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, according to a statement attributed to the party’s national chair in January 2026. This follows significant political realignments within the state. Key points as of March 2026: Leader: Siminalayi Fubara. Context: This leadership position follows the political shifts occurring after the 2023 governorship election. National Context: The APC continues to organize its national structure, with a 2026 national convention committee recently formed. Note: Rivers State politics is often characterized by intense factionalism, and the political landscape can shift rapidly. AI can make mistakes, so double-check responses
Glimpsetv: Isaac Fayose, a businessman and activist, expressed strong disapproval after spotting posters of President Bola Tinubu, First Lady Remi Tinubu, and their son, Seyi Tinubu, across various locations in Lagos.
It is important to note that the posters were not campaign materials but were put up to welcome the president back from his recent visit to the United Kingdom.
Reacting to the posters while pointing his camera at them, he said in Pidgin, “See wetin I see for Lagos. You yourself see wetin I see for Lagos. Baba, mama, son — dem be the rulers of our country now. Na dem dey rule us now. You dey see? Everywhere for Lagos.” He said this as he focused his camera on the posters while driving through the streets of Lagos.
He continued, “You see, this is what I mean. This is the first time we will have president the son, president the mother, and president the father.”
“Is it normal?” he questioned. He then went on to say, “Don’t let them scare you. These people will not come back. Vote, let our votes come in bulk. You can see the teaser coming.” (a statement which many have linked to the crowd spotted when Peter Obi visited Kwankwaso in Kano in a trending video).
Again, he said, “Let our votes come in bulk, or else you will buy fuel for ₦5,000 per litre. Or else, it will be a family heritage, and you and your unborn children will be in bondage forever. Open your eyes! This is the first time we have a government of the family, by the family, for rice.”
Speaking further, he said, “If you have a problem, they give you rice. They kidnapped your uncle, they give you rice. There is no fuel in your car, they give you rice. There is no good school, they give you rice. Bad road, they give you rice. They kidnapped you, they give you rice.”
Complaining about how the president, his wife, and his son’s images were seen across Lagos, he said, “Now imagine if they are doing second term.”
He went on to advise Nigerians to wake up and take back their country. “When we vote, don’t be scared that your votes will not count.” Switching to Pidgin, he added, “All those governors wey dey with them, maybe dem don chop our money.”
He questioned the removal of subsidies, saying, “You removed subsidies, you cannot have savings. They told us when they removed subsidies they would be saving at least 1 billion dollars every month. How much have they saved?”
He went on to allege that the NNPC has now stolen Nigerians’ money. Speaking further, he said all the governors defecting to the APC are not doing so for Nigerians but for their own benefit, alleging that they must have done something wrong in the past and are trying to avoid being probed. He advised Nigerians to come together, saying it is time to vote them out.
Fayose also questioned Seyi Tinubu’s official capacity.
The posters have surfaced amid growing speculation and endorsements from groups like the Independent Civic Movement for Project Seyi Tinubu, which has publicly tipped Seyi Tinubu as a preferred candidate for the 2027 Lagos elections.
Watch the video, listen, and share your thoughts in the comments.
I disagree totally with Sowore on this, please, where did the clown visited, and where did he visit during the previous adminstration? On his submission here, he's a clown who's on a cheap paid propaganda mission.

The Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has issued a fresh warning ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general elections—and his message is one that raises serious concern.
According to him, the 2027 presidential election may not produce a clear winner. He warned that the process could be inconclusive, creating tension and uncertainty across the country. But that’s not all.
Primate Ayodele also revealed that there could be violence in some northern states, a situation he says may significantly disrupt the governorship elections in those regions. He cautioned that these developments, if not properly managed, could affect the credibility and smooth conduct of the entire electoral process.
The cleric, known for his prophetic warnings on national issues, urged stakeholders, security agencies, and the government to take proactive steps to prevent crisis and ensure a peaceful election.
As Nigeria prepares for another critical election cycle, the question now remains—will these warnings be taken seriously, or ignored? Only time will tell.
Na the stupid people wey still dey go Nigeria compromised court rooms I blame, embrace lawlessness so Tinubu and Wike go see mad citizens govern tire... Rubbish, just imagine the height of embarrassment to your fellow professional colleague just because you're opportune in a very corrupt system. Thunder fire the judge
shortgun: NO JUDGE HAS THE POWER TO ORDER A LAWYER TO KNEEL IN COURT
You're shameless, you elder brother Umahi, if he's blackmailed should go to court and prove his innocence, not using state apparatus maintained with tax payers money to intimidate Nigeria citizens.....you're so shameless and a disgrace to your family.
chukwutee: Last resort of every woman na to blackmail you. Tell the world what the minister bought from you that amount to 250m!
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Osun State, on Monday said it refused to register some underage secondary school students brought for voters card registration in Ede North local government area of Osun State.
The social media was awash over the weekend as image surfaced showing some students with school uniform at one of the voters registration point in Ede. The picture was said to have been taken on Friday.
Reacting to the outcry, INEC in a statement by Musa Olurode, its public relations officer, admitted the presence of the students but said the commission refused to register them in line with extant laws guiding election in the country.
Osun people are wise now because they will not tolerate what really happened in the 2022 gubernatorial elections in Osun state. The electorates voted against the time stipulated. Where the people of Ede carried rechargeable lighter lights to vote till midnight.
It is disgusting to allow underge students to register for the ongoing vote registration. It is unacceptable to have happened in Ede where Mr. Governor came from. There is no way to rig the incoming gubernatorial elections in the state because Ademola Adeleke's defeat is sacrosanct.
Let us call a spade a spade and follow the rules of laws. Mr. Governor does not need to induce his students to vote for him when they are underage. It has that Ademola Adeleke cannot withstand the doggedness and sagacity of Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji, AMBO. AMBO has become a giant for the other contestants. Let us come down, AMBO will emerge victoriously...
