GloriousGbola: like i said - we were there when these things happened and we were all following politics. some of us have fought bitterly over some of these issues in the past. back in the day
I don’t know SW politics to the core enough to give full narration of how things went down during OBJ period, I followed media and argument from Yorubas then.
So maybe, y’all are right with your SW political stands, but won’t still change the fact that Tinubu eliminated Funsho because he needed to take full control of Lagos.
All this whattaboutism to dodge the answer staring you in the face.
Was Ihedioha impeached? If I used the example of Ngige you would have had a point because there were rumors OBJ wanted him removed but his was a court judgment.
All these guys I posted links for where removed in a mago mago way (won't lie I supported OBJ for this action) with the police being used as instruments to carry out the fait accompli because he knew the governors could mobilize support to twart the impeachment.
GEJ tried that stunt with Ameachi using the then police commissioner Mbu but e no know say Rotimi himself na proper.
Honestly many of the current governors don't know what they are enjoying under PMB because the kind stunts wey some of them they pull they won't have tried it under OBJ.
Can you imagine Edo governor Obaseki locking out opposition members from the state assembly and OBJ will just be looking at you?
I read the links you posted. All of them, and never did I read anywhere OBJ brutally ordered a governor to step down, all were played politically using the sitting Governors’s opponents, not some brute kind of shii, except that 5-man example Dayo gave.
OBj dey two?? One would think just like Odi brute order, OBJ was ordering governors down.
chrisooblog: Now you have changed it to rarely thank God we're making progress.
Well the reason why it's 'rarely' deployed now is because PMB has decided to act like a democrat. You seriously think he couldn't have removed Fayose and Wike if he wanted to?
Tbis mean you’ve not been getting my point since.
donstan18: I sincerely do not think I’ve ever seen federal government interfere in state government issues. I might be wrong, but it hardly happen, not like they don’t have the power, but they rarely do, hardly ever do, reason I initially asked why some of you believed the police was reporting to OBJ over state politics issues in 2006 and not Tinubu.
raumdeuter: They are very similar. You know Bola Ige was called Cicero of Esa Oke. He could speak for hours and lambast anyone, He even spoke Hausa
Bola Ige being from Osun and a top AD member, supported Akande over Omisore. Since Akande was his deputy when Ige was Oyo governor in 1983. He insulted Omisore as a thug with little education
So when Ige visited Ife, Omisore and his boys led by Fryo removed Ige's cap and harrased him. One Odunayo Olagbaju was killed and a few weeks later Ige was killed. I know this Fryo, he was a SUG thug in OAU and used to harras boys those days. He was one that if he meets you, he will simply dip his hand into your pocket and walk away with anything he finds inside
The day Ige was killed, It was in the evening around 7-8pm When all his security details went for dinner at the same time. A whole Attorney General his entire security detail from the Police went for dinner at the same time (donstan18 note this) Before they came back Ige was already killed
Fryo was arrested, he hired Keyamo and confessed that he was sent by Omisore seeking protecting from death penalty. Later Omisore was arrested, Fryo was arrested, Omisore won his Senate election while in prison, He was released immediately for Thanksgiving and Fryo later released
Just as you’ve perfectly narrated this, I’ve seen perfectly told stories too by people who 100% believe Tinubu killed him because he was one of SW politicians who could stand on his way from taking over the Region.
That’s why I might give up on this, no evidence.
That’s all, but like I’ll still say, we know the truth.
You're simply catching cruise I swear. Cos I can't believe you're asking this kinda question.
LiveLongNprospa even made it clear Police take control from FG, yet you're adamant. Guess you know LiveLongNprospa is PO Supporter, hence has no reason for the clarification, cos it favours his Camp's Agenda against BAT.
Chill Bruh.... BAT has no hand in the death of Williams and Bola Ige. If he does, same David Hundeyin you so much believe in his half cooked gibberish would have published another senseless propaganda on it.
I didn’t argue that to be very honest.
Just letting you know that FG hardly interfere in State government issues.
Those who said OBJ did brought links that had Supreme Court in it, same people that claimed the presidency has no business with judiciary when i brought up Wike’s tax rants.
raumdeuter: I the Policemans voice, I'm not here on my own orders, I am here on instruction of the IGP, I cannot call the IGP, You can call the IGP yourself
chrisooblog: I believe you must be a young guy in your early to mid-twenties for you to have mentioned the bold because no one who was old enough during the OBJ days would say that.
You of all people should have listed when and when Obasanjo heavily interfered in State government issues?
chrisooblog: Police answers to Abuja. Just because the FG government looks the other way doesn't change that fact.
If the state has so much control over the police in their domain what stopped the police in Benue from stopping herdsmen killing that year shebi the governor controls them?
How did Wike stop IPOB and ESN terrorism in Rivers state?
Governor wey wan stop rubbish for en state, go stop am.
chrisooblog: Nobody is sure of anything but as a logical human being I go by evidence to come to my conclusion.
If Harverzt ends up only scoring 6 goals and providing 4 assists at the end of the season no jupiter will then come and say he's a generational talent because certain chelsea fans said so
This is why I won’t argue further, since there’s no evidence.
But still, we all know the truth. We know what we’re doing.
chrisooblog: Whether state government is in the know or not FG is still in charge. As a policeman you might enjoy favours in the state you're posted to but it's FG that will determine how your career will pan out. At the end of the day power pass power. There's no way even if there was an attempted cover up on Tinubu's part that OBJ won't have deployed his full federal might including police to deal with him. In football terms that's akin to a tap in 2 inches out.
I sincerely do not think I’ve ever seen federal government interfere in state government issues. I might be wrong, but it hardly happen, not like they don’t have the power, but they rarely do, hardly ever do, reason I initially asked why some of you believed the police was reporting to OBJ over state politics issues in 2006 and not Tinubu.
GloriousGbola: the reason why there is agitation for state police is because nigerian police are a federal appendage in the end they are completely outside the state govt chain of command
of course when you see madmen like yeye bellow, you know why this is an issue. imagine if he had control of police or military. it would have been a full bloodbath at obajana
any governor who has personal issues with the police commissioner will find this out very quickly
same with the army. the army does not answer to state government
which is why the lekki massacre cannot be place on LASG. all LASG can do is call for support
but it is someone in the military heiruchy who will shout kill the motherfkers!
I know about the Army not answering the Governor, but police??
chrisooblog: You can't compare PMB to OBJ. When it came to dealing with governors OBJ was a tyrant. Fayose, Dariye are just a few governors that can testify to OBJ's ruthlessness. Someone that will get police to barricade state assembly buildings so that 3-6 members will impeach a governor he doesn't like.
So because PMB is doing democrat with Wike you think he can't deal with him? What stops the IGP from changing police commissioner? How did weak GEJ show Ameachi that year? Was it not police?
Army that Ameachi used in 2019 wasn't Wike crying up and down?
PMB just respects governors that's all nothing stops him from using police to treat your f-up.
I understand you but you didn’t get my point, I mean... You mean police will skip reporting to the Governor on state government issue to report to the President?
GloriousGbola: you will have to ask David hundeyin that question
but do you think if they tied that money to actual drug transactions, Bola Tinubu would not have seen jail time?
for me and this is just conjecture - it was probably a case of ok - yes this money is yours, but you did not follow the following rules when bringing it into the country, which is why we flagged it as drug money - so even though it is not drug money - there is a fine/penalty for not declaring money of Bleep amount so therefore . . .
but like i said - only Bola Tinubu and the Agent on the case can answer that question. we have to wonder why david hundeyin did not interview the agent, or maybe publish details of his interview with the agent.
chrisooblog: It's not a low key thing it's just a clear case of giving a dog a bad name to hang it.
One thing I have noticed about Nigerians is that once we have made up our minds about someone especially the one we don't like no evidence on this planet will change your mind.
What’s actually giving you the mind to defend a politician when it comes to political murder?
