You don't even know that the Caretaker Committee has to be affirmed at the Convention.

Only the National Convention can confer leadership at that level. So whichever way like I always said, it was inevitable that the Convention should have taken place. It is people who didn't want it to hold that plan to kill the opposition. This NWC's tenure ends Dec 7, of which anything they do after then becomes a nullity, so what should they have done?

Absolutely!

Hopefully the cases in court can be trashed, especially the one in the court of Omotosho. That appears like a trap. Hopefully the appeal court can dismiss it and PDP can move on.

As for Wike and his co-sojourners, their expulsion was long overdue. Without tackling Wike’s arrogance, PDP would continue in the limbo.

The governor of Rivers state is in a dilemma, just like Adeleke. Fubara wants to remain in PDP, but he cannot, as he has to follow Wike’s direction. Given a choice, Fubara would have been in the convention. Sorry for going out of line with this.

Burob:
Are u not ashamed to type this kind of nonsense, 1 man is bigger than the great pdp?

What a big shame, this umbrella party has turned to.

And you are not ashamed that you support such a horrible person in your nation. No wonder the nation has been labeled different horrible names.

“… 1 man is bigger than the great pdp”? But you read that he had been expelled. Certainly you could not believe your eyes.

You stand for stability, yet you watched Wike hand over PDP to APC.
You stand for stability, yet you watch Wike staying in the party and working for/with APC.
You stand for stability, yet you watched Wike hand over PDP territories to APC.

Is this now cowardice? Maybe this governor is one of those “PDP in the day, APC in the night”!

Too desperate for money. He lost it all. His license may be in trouble. By now na “had I known”. Those years, na owanbe in Nigeria. Maybe also built a powerful house or powerful houses. Bought some powerful cars. Now wahala.
Make greed no let us lose focus abeg.

Too many illegal revenue collectors all around the nation. Hopefully states can put measures in place to checkmate the menace. Governor Alex Otti has excelled in that area. I think Obaseki put such measures in place until the man with English difficulty assumed the mantle.

This Yomi Fabiyi go explain tire ooo abi what is he trying to prove with all this his incoherent epistle. Baba ilesha is free. Thank God & he should be more careful with his doings & pray against temptation in which ever form. Shikena

Not just very incoherent, but absolutely defamatory. The lady can actually sue him.

Namaster:
"The Senate has ordered the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to refund ₦210 trillion in unaccounted funds to the Federation Account after rejecting the company’s explanations over the missing sum."

How can #210 TRILLION NAIRA go missing?!

Nigeria is a country of POOR people, yet some people are LOOTING TRILLIONS of Naira.

Despite looting Oil and Gas money, they are still NOT satisfied.
They still want to TAX Nigerians to death and LOOT that too.

MADNESS!

But it went missing!
Some of those who have ordered the refund May gave companies that benefitted.

Mrfixitt:
You leave military officers wey plan coup dey chase shadow. DSS una well done

They are northerners. Will they be tried? Let’s wait and see!

Gentledove2001:
Is like you have eye problem? Restore the integrity of Nigeria the way he restored integrity of Anambra State?

Ah, do you not think that you have sense problem?

doncartel:
Damagum of Pdp and Makinde should quickly visit Lt Yerima to learn how to tackle Wike.

You gan gan deserve an award for this comment.
By the way, why did Fubara not have this kind of formula? Who knows if Fubara was called a fool and an idiot several times, completely intimidating him?
Did you notice how that police officer, who by age is not the lieutenant’s mate, shut his mouth when the lieutenant warned him? The policeman shut his mouth. Maybe he instantly remembers his family and did not want stray bullets to touch him. Wike too was making that frantic call and the young man was not moved. Na Wike finally move after the shouting!
That young officer showed Abuja oppressed citizens what to do next time such things happen.

Gentledove2001:
And you want to rule a disgraced country? This man doesn't have sense at all. Why can't you insult the politicians without insulting the country.

Definitely. That way, he can restore the intergrity of the country. We need leaders like him who we can hold accountable.

Show us where in that comment, the country was insulted. Was he Mr. Trump who used the words “now a disgraced country”? Don’t be a coward. Face Mr. Trump and accuse him of insulting your country. When the same Trump called Buhari a weak man, you all kept quiet. Why not face foreigners who see the irresponsibility in the country once and demand a retraction of their accusations?

Jovi10:
Hey can't play for the pride of their country, smh
How many European footballers get paid to play for their country? They see it as an honour.

When you hear that footballers play for free, then look for Gabon, Equitorial Guinea and such tiny countries with one or two big players, who also sponsor their national teams. European countries, plan, budget and pay their players appropriately.

If your country is failing, admit it and hold the leaders responsible.

Just imagine what APC reduced our country to. Aside from being called poverty capital of the world, Nigeria is called a disgraced country. Shame on our horrible leaders and their supporters.

stuffs2002:
Na Wike dey cause all your family problems na

You hate Wike so much just because he refused to support the fraud called Obi in the last presidential elections.
Same way IPOB/OBIDIENTS have been begging Tump to attack Nigeria just because the fraud called Obi lost the presidential elections

The problem with all these IPOB/OBIDIENTS is that they allow themselves to be moved solely by their emotions

Ahh. But you forgot to look at your own family first. You no see how BAT/Wike misery, hunger and suffering dey smell there?

The problem with APC supporters like you is that poverty is nothing. Now IPOB invites Trump to attack Nigeria, forgetting that your Tinubu and Buhari long ago in 2014 invited America to intervene in Nigeria. While your Fulani brothers are enjoying themselves in forests around your community, you are busy looking at people who live their lives in joy and wealth. Fraud is a leader who is unable to tell his lineage, education and source of wealth. Ask your oga if e fit answer you.

Emanodimo:
While we praised him for his stand, he knows nothing about the status quo of the matter than I have my order. They are not allow to think or act otherwise outside the order. And that makes them a zombie.

if it is a military regime, Wike wont near there. In a civilian regime, the military answers to the civilian authority. However, civilians should tread with caution cuz power lies in the hands of gun not mouth.

Why has Wike not commanded them to fight bandits? Why does Wike approach the IG and the heads of security agencies, if he could command like that? His own authority ends in his office.

The soldier stated clearly that he was there on the instruction of the Vice admiral. Even the officer would not dare leave that place under any circumstance and Wike understood it. Even Wike’s security understood it all clearer. He was lucky that he met a cool headed officer. If he met someone of the same thinking, his family would be grieving by now.

And by the way, the minister’s respect daily diminish in the eyes of decent citizens.

stuffs2002:
Only a matter of time. Illegality cannot stand the test of time. The military will lose the land

No wonder there’s so much poverty in the land. Continue.

Ttalk:
It is even an impunity for a retired CNS to be ordering a serving military personnel on his personal business.

Where did the retired CNS derives his power after retirement

Go and learn. Some of you who completed your secondary school education one, two or three years ago, never let people with knowledge teach you.

Maybe you think that the retired CNS allocated power to himself. Since you can read, I advise you to check the benefits given to a retired CNS by military authorities.

Serving or retired, the man has and will have his compliment of security until he dies. As the CNS, you saw that he had a serving lieutenant on his land, protecting it.

To the SA gutter, he should keep his gutter mouth to himself. Unfortunately he can not take off the uniform. The soldier is more useful to the nation than the gutter man, who absolutely serves no use. I wonder how the unlearned man called a whole lieutenant “a small boy”. That was very uncouth. Hopefully he can dare look at the soldier face to face and return in one piece, to confirm if he met a small boy.

ALTERNATEID:
Sorry but we are no longer under a military dictatorship. In a democracy, the military is subjected to civilian control.

Nobody has the power to deploy soldiers for an internal operation without the approval of Mr. President. So, it is illegal to deploy soldiers to go and be protecting a private land of a retired soldier.

Again, it is illegal for anybody to obstruct FCT officials from carrying out their legitimate duties. If we allow just anybody to use access to military boys to stop government officials from doing their jobs, then we are creating a banana republic.

Finally, all lands in the FCT are vested in the Minister of the FCT. He has the power to allocate and cancel the allocation. If the former CNS is dissatisfied with the decision of the FCT minister, he should approach the court and not resort to self help. Obstructing FCT officials including preventing the minister from accessing the land in such a rude and unprofessional manner is unacceptable. Those soldiers should be made to face disciplinary action immediately.

Democracy demands respect and accountability. It does not invest absolute or limitless power on the holder, in this case, the man known as “Abuja landlord”. Democracy does not confer the right to seize people’s legitimate properties.

Common sense should tell everyone that the said retired military officer did not allocate the land to himself, neither did he suddenly arrive on and occupy that land. Somebody gave him his allocation documents and he lawfully occupied his land. News has carried it severally how the minister has oppressed citizens over their lands, claiming that they were illegally allocated.

If the minister, at will, continues to cancel legitimate allocations, then he must expect resistance from certain individuals, in this case the equally powerful like him. Is there any difference between military dictatorships and the actions of Mr. Wike in the recent times?

As you have seen, the defence headquarters backed their soldier and the former CNS. Certainly Wike did not expect such resistance, as he had become used to having his way. Even his security detail could not confront the soldier, proving to you all, the orderliness within the security agencies. I believe that the barking minister could not do more than that, as one more step would have proved fatal.

How do you determine “their legitimate” duties? Is it not in this same Nigeria, that out of vendetta, legitimate lands and properties have been taken over by political opponents? Why have you not used the word “banana republic” when such acts are carried out? Or are you part of those who choose selective justice, especially when it favors the political party or individual that you support?

Let’s wait and see how Wike will revoke that allocation and his demolition agents move into that land to destroy the man’s property. The defence ministry supported their retired member and the serving soldier. Oya, wait for the disciplinarian.

Now that the defence headquarter has spoken in favour of the soldier who confronted the garrulous Wike, let’s see how he can revoke a military man’s land approval and escape unscratched.

yarimo:
This is very unfortunate from the arm force, they are not above the law.

No be only “arm force”, na leg force. Go school una no go gree. Na to support APC up and dan.

grandstar:
Most of the pogroms you referred to were ethnic in nature and not religious. I am not young. I was in secondary school when Buhari first came to office.

I prefer to deal with facts and not with sentiments.

Muslims have it far worse than Christians.

If you were in secondary school during Buhari’s Presidency, why shoook your mouth in this issue, without knowledge of all that happened since the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

If we mentioned “ethnic in nature”, you probably would have said “religious in nature”. Research for better information, or you may ask me for information for free.

Lalami3232:
So you wan marry a rich young man . Now let me ask you a question, don't you think a rich young man deserves something fresh(virgin) and not a leftover (non-virgin)? Since we all deserve the best na

What do I even know sef aside enlightening my fellow men nationwide with the good news of DNA test

Where did you read “rich young man”? Na people like una be APC supporters. Always out of touch with the reality.

grandstar:
But Boko Haram has attacked Mosques in the past.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/5/2/nigeria-mosque-attack-death-toll-rises-to-86

The issue here is not that Christians are being killed. Muslims are the primary victims and not Christians.

That is the koko.

Do you know the origin of the Fulani bandits was to checkmate the Hausa people. Why? Because of cows feeding on their crops.

Oga, I am very certain that you were not born yet when religious crisis popped up its head in this country, with Islamic jihadists making it their religious duty, according to their book, to wipe away those they call “infidels”. Maybe you are not even aware that infidels who shared the same faith were first killed inside their worship centers when they started their crisis.

Before you join us issues here, please ask those who had first hand experience in Kaduna, Kano, Borno and Sokoto states. If the issue of endless killing of innocent Christians did not come up, would you not remain silent, clapping your hands and watching those who are your enemies systematically getting wiped out?

Maybe your fear is that of all nations and Presidents, it is dangerous Donald Trump and the Americans who have risen in defence of innocent Christians. Maybe you have not realized that eliminating the vampires that you all support will bring absolute peace to people of all faith nationwide. What your leaders failed to do, another country has volunteered at their own expense to help out.

You do not have the faintest idea of the Fulanis, Hausas or any other tribe nationwide. If you need to discuss and learn from me, let me know.

FIRDAUS3:
your quote and point of reference are enough in measuring your hypocrisy, for countless numbers of time, Muslims were been killed by dreadged Boko Harams, no public sympathy, now you are calling on foreign Agency to help you out whilst you kept mute during the turn of the Muslims.

killing of innocents people is totally unacceptable and Nigerian government should do more to protect the life of every Citizens irrespective of faith and tribes.

Now that your security agencies have failed; your government has failed to provide adequate security; killing by your group continues on a daily basis, with your people not giving a hoot about human lives, can you tell us how the nation should be rescued from the killing grip of your people? If not, then please tell us who the hypocrite is.

ChizzyBuna:
I thought they said Virgin make best wife

Ned married Regina as a Virgin
Now see how a virgin is destroying a man's legacy.

Where are those "Marry Virgin Crusaders" of Nairaland, come and explain

Well, you sound like one of those teenagers too who married men in their advanced ages.

They say “ an elder who plays in the sand with a kid, whatever he sees, he must take it”.

The man married an inexperienced teenager and expected to shape her into a woman of his own age and grade. Unfortunately that plan became the issue that they both presently face. The young woman was totally immature and not prepared for marriage. The man did not allow her enjoy her youthfulness. She showed it to him in the house. Why allow drug users stay in his house? Why allow them go in and out of the house? Why not take measures long ago?

By the way, did you not read the young woman saying that she wanted to leave him long ago? Why the constant beatings? Why the slaps? I am one of the man’s fans. Unfortunately on this one, he made too many errors. If the lady leaves, I think he should simply continue his life with the remaining wife and children. Enough of marrying women in the name of religion or tradition.

More evidence to Donald Trump and the Americans.
More evidence to the rest of the world.
Now let’s hear what APC will present as defence. Who knows, they may say that the event took place during the Jonathan days. Reno Omokri and group may blame Peter Obi!

FreeStuffsNG:
Smh. If a whole Professor could be this dragged by an individual alleged to have struggled to even earn a 3rd class from the university then it seems Anambra people don't have regards for education niyen.

Soludo reached his pinnacle as a Professor and managed the Central bank. Both milestones are huge and opportunity well above what Mr Obi can now attain in his age.

Central Bank Governor in terms of scale of national responsibility trumps the Governor who manages only a subnational unit.

It's completely preposterous that a former CBN Governor and Professor like Soludo could be addressed in such condescending tone by an individual with no track record of professional career or educational excellence like Mr Obi. Smh.

Does Mr Obi know what it takes to build career and reach the pinnacle of that professional career? This is why it's not good to elect people who have not built professional career into such offices like Governors.
We don't do it with Presidency so we shouldn't do it with our Governors too.

If you want to be a President or Governor tomorrow, go build a career first even if you still want to be doing buying and selling like Mr Obi as side hustle.

If you cared so much about educational qualification, the man that you support should have showed you his documents right from birth until this day. His educational qualification was, is, and still a national and international topic.

If you knew what it meant by building a career, you’d be questioning your oga himself.

Nefort:
What you are talking about has nothing to do with political career. In terms of political career Peter Obi is very right to say he is above Charles Solido. Where is the lie?

Except for educational qualification, Obi is miles ahead of Soludo.

First Soludo must ask Obi how he kept peace in the state for eight years.

Thundafireseun:
Which Victory??

You obviously don’t know the full story….

Beg me I will give you the full story….

But for highlights… Obasanjo played 90% role in Obi’s APGA VICTORY

Oga, face Ogun state. You have no single idea of politics in that area.

id4sho:
Chai, a whole emperor is weeping

The so called emperor received two blows. First was the judge in Oyo and the next was INEC itself that recognized the same Damagun’s faction that successfully did the Ekiti primaries, witnessed by INEC. Emperor in pains. Maybe he needs Omotosho to carry out some correction.

Do not be surprised that the entire camp of the emperor has one leg in APC like him.
