Tinubu doesn't betray. Check his records.

AMINDA:
Make Tinubu put body by betraying Wike first. Then he will find out. Agreement is agreement! As far as this Fubara matter is concerned, Tinubu must fold.

you have just vomited nonsense. you expect Tinubu to jettison a seasoned politician Wike for a starter Fubara.

Paganizonda:
The easiest way for Tinubu and Apc to win Rivers State is for Fubara to be on Apc ticket & for the entire structure to be handed over to him. As it stands Majority of Rivers people hate woke & his people. Rigging def go dey very difficult now. The smoothest path to Apc victory is for them to hand over everything to sim.

were you there when he made the statement.

LagosOrigin:
I see Wike is battle ready to deal with tinubu because why would he make this statement just a day after APC endorsed tinubu and Fubara for a second term.

Wike wants to fight dirty

DR Congo is loaded with foreign based footballers. Some of them were born outside the country and perhaps they play for better teams than our boys. Try google to get more information about DR Congo boys.

RollinTNDA:
They look too soft and too Fresh for football
Europe don use money finish these ones.

Look at congo...
Na strong strong faces dem get.
To show you how hungry they are to win

Who is talking about election here. The President didn't get anything from the Region in the last general election and i don't think he is hopeful of a change. Let us discuss performance for now and discuss election matters when it is the time.

fineboynl:
There is a federal government project in the south east. This is visible if you travel allot.

But that doesn't mean it's automatic election wins in the region

“By the third discussion, President Buhari went further. In his considered judgment, he stated plainly that Professor Osinbajo was by far the best person for the job.”

So, Ojudu expected the President to tell Osinbajo not to contest. Who does that? No disciplined military man will ever support Osinbajo with his relationship with Tinubu. It is the highest level of betrayal.

They follow their leader who has his own leader too. Don't be deceived.

Kukutente23:
They are following their leader in the person of Sir SIM Fubara

Na today. It is a waste of time defending any politician in Nigeria.

bunmioguns:
"Wait, wait, wait! Boma Goodhead in APC? The same Boma that was shouting 'Shoot me! Shoot me!' at the DSS during the National Assembly siege?

Omo, this life no balance at all. It means in Nigerian politics, there is no permanent enemy, only permanent stomach. From calling APC a 'party of darkness' to now wearing the broom and 'Renewed Hope' cap.

I guess the 'Spiritual Assignment' Fubara talked about has reached her side too. I want to see her first press conference in APC livery. Nigerian politicians will humble you. Integrity: 0, Survival: 100

The Hungry Man Amaechi should revive PDP in the State

hotseat:
One knew it was just a matter of time for the four remaining hapless members of the RSHA to join the bandwagon.

They knew that they would be left out in the cold should they decide to remain with the PDP in the State which is now only existing in name.

PDP in Rivers State is gone with the wind!

Remaining the Grandmaster himself - H.E Emperor Wike, the Wicked One, the self-acclaimed Madman who would later join the team after completely annihilating the Fee Dee Fee at the federal level.

Fubara has definitely read Wike's books on how to play the political chess game and he's not doing badly.




@hotseat

It is your thought. Nobody hates a political party because it doesn't have a life of its own. It is the people that make a political party.

UTILITYMAY:
But wait ooo!
Will the people of Rivers now vote for APC (Fubara) in 2027 because they love him? Considering how deeply they hate APC.

Just one issue on a landed property, you will never buy land to keep again.

LeonOgu:
I believe you have little knowledge of properties. So buying house or land is a long term liability?

what you like say. nothing has ever happened with outcome of elections in Nigeria and whatever happens nothing will happen in 2027.

Streetinvestor2:
You forgot to add Kanu in sokoto. SW president disgrace in the North and SE will make Guinness record.let see how the rigging u are all betting on will happen in 2027 and nigeria will still stand. I will be happy if u can come join the rigging in SE for SW president .We will provide good accommodation for u

Buhari never said that Tinubu should leave his Ministers. He only told the Ministers to answer and not mention his name if they are invited to defend their actions while in office.

Princedapace:
These are the people we should trust with 25% of our tax? hahahaahah, if to sey the masses get sense eh, this tax wont even stand until proper way of handling corruption is dealt with. This new 25 percent will still be stollen and nothing wil happen. Like these politicians do have agreement not to try one another. Look at Buhari telling Tinubu to leave his ministers. Can u imagine? Like presidents arent tried too. Like, just go and steal as u like. Omo, If i cant find legal way to avoid tax, I go run go ghana. I will gladly pay 30 percent of my money to Ghana than to spend even 3 percent of my sweat to these old men who loot with no mercy.
There is no measure to fix leakage, no measure to fix corruption, so, we go dey work for these men to loot?
My anger is I source my income abroad, so i go dey fund the life style of these wicked men with their side chicks? God forbid. The only reason they are fighting now is maybe this man didnt agree to their terms. If u no join them, they come aftyer u. Look at ex Delta state governor is now campaign DG for Tinubu. hahahaha, these men no rate us o.

The protection I think Fubara was talking about is pre-State of Emergency Declaration. Personally, what did the PDP do to support him against Wike and House of Assembly members prior to the declaration of the state of emergency. I did not know and really wants to know.

Are you not ashamed of vomiting this rubbish.

Nackzy:
Tinubu sees his reelection as a do or die affair

Are they to serve Tinubu or the country.

Racoon:
For Reno Omokri, FFK and Mahmud Yakubu to even appear for screening tells you how Nigeria now is a butts of shamelessness, rewarding pyscophancy and asslicking under this rudderless government.

Let see how all their past virtuperations against their vomit will be legalized and how well it repairs an already badly damaged Nigeria diplomatic relations by the ayes have it rubber-stamped stooges.

There is nothing mentioned here that has never been demanded for.

Akinpedia:
As Nigeria approaches the 2027 presidential and gubernatorial elections, citizens and civil society organizations stand at a critical juncture to demand transformative accountability from candidates. This advocacy brief outlines the Top 7 Non-Negotiable Demands—rooted in recent calls from credible sources like Yiaga Africa, Chatham House, and Open Government Partnership reviews (2024–2025)—urging leaders to prioritize electoral integrity, security, anti-corruption, economic relief, youth empowerment, judicial independence, and transparent governance.​

These demands emerge from widespread protests, stakeholder forums, and policy analyses highlighting systemic failures in security, fiscal mismanagement, and democratic erosion, as documented in reports from ThisDayLive and The Nation. By committing to these action-oriented reforms, candidates can restore public trust and chart a path toward sustainable prosperity.​

Nigerians must hold aspiring leaders to these standards, ensuring promises translate into measurable policies that unlock the nation's potential.

Electoral and Constitutional Reform for Credible Elections

Transfer the authority to make appointment decisions, such as selecting the INEC chair, to an independent and non-partisan selection committee. Additionally, enhance and reinforce INEC’s institutional independence through comprehensive measures aimed at rebuilding and restoring public trust in the electoral commission’s impartiality and effectiveness.

Amend the Electoral Act and the constitution to explicitly mandate the use of electronic results transmission for all elections, significantly accelerate the timelines for both pre-election and post-election petitions to ensure swift resolution of disputes, enable voting rights for citizens living in the diaspora, allow for independent candidacy without party affiliation, and implement measures to reduce barriers that currently limit the active participation of youth and women in the electoral process.​

Security Sector Strategy and Accountability

Commit to a comprehensive national security strategy that includes clearly defined, measurable timelines aimed at significantly reducing incidents of terrorism, banditry, kidnapping, and communal violence. This strategy should also incorporate specific civilian protection metrics that are tailored to assess and improve security conditions within individual states and localities, ensuring that efforts are both targeted and effective in safeguarding communities across the nation.

Enhance and strengthen the oversight and accountability mechanisms of security agencies by implementing comprehensive measures such as regular and transparent public reporting of their operations, activities, and detailed budgets. Additionally, establish and support community-based early-warning systems and response mechanisms that actively involve local populations in monitoring and addressing potential security threats in a timely and effective manner.

Anti‑Corruption Reform and Institutional Independence

Ensure and guarantee full operational and financial independence for anti‑corruption agencies such as the EFCC and ICPC, enabling them to function without external influence or interference. Additionally, fully implement comprehensive beneficial‑ownership registries along with mandatory public asset declarations for all senior officials to promote transparency and accountability throughout the government.

Accelerate the implementation of comprehensive legal reforms aimed at significantly enhancing the prosecution processes for cases involving grand corruption. These reforms should also include robust measures to provide strong protection and support for whistleblowers who expose corrupt practices. Additionally, it is essential to improve and strengthen the coordination and collaboration between financial intelligence units and prosecuting agencies to ensure more effective investigation and prosecution of corruption-related offenses.

Economic Relief, Transparent Fiscal Policy, and Social Safety Nets

End regressive subsidies that disproportionately benefit higher-income groups and replace them with carefully designed, targeted cash transfer programs along with transparent, means-tested social safety nets. These measures will effectively protect the most vulnerable and poorest populations while simultaneously restoring much-needed fiscal space for sustainable economic management.

Publish open budgets and actively strengthen fiscal transparency initiatives, including comprehensive participatory budget processes, to significantly reduce financial leakages and effectively restore and enhance citizen confidence in public financial management systems.​

Jobs, Youth Inclusion and Skills Development

Implement a comprehensive national employment and skills-acceleration plan that strategically connects public investment, expanded apprenticeship programs, and targeted private-sector incentives. This integrated approach aims to generate sustainable and meaningful job opportunities specifically designed for youth and individuals returning from conflict-affected areas, ensuring long-term economic stability and social reintegration.

Reform the hiring and procurement processes to specifically prioritize youth-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), ensuring that these businesses receive greater opportunities and support. In addition, establish clear and measurable targets for increasing female and youth employment within all federal and state programs, creating accountable benchmarks to track progress and promote inclusive economic growth.

Access to Justice and Judicial Independence

Safeguard the independence of the judiciary by firmly insulating judicial appointments and disciplinary processes from any form of political interference, influence, or pressure. Additionally, ensure that courts receive adequate, consistent, and transparent funding to enable them to function effectively and uphold justice without bias or external control. This comprehensive approach helps maintain public trust and the integrity of the judicial system.

Strengthen the provision of legal aid services to ensure wider access to justice for all individuals, especially those from marginalized communities. Implement measures to fast-track the resolution of court backlogs, with a particular focus on electoral disputes and human rights cases, to uphold fairness and accountability. Additionally, enforce strict timelines for the adjudication of corruption charges and security-related prosecutions, ensuring that these critical matters are addressed promptly and effectively to maintain public trust in the justice system.

Open Government, Transparency and Anti‑Illicit Financial Flows

Commit to adopting OGP-style open government commitments, including key areas such as open budgets, transparent public procurement processes, and comprehensive beneficial ownership disclosure. Additionally, establish clear and realistic timelines to ensure the full and effective implementation of these commitments, promoting greater accountability and transparency in government operations over time.

Implement more robust and comprehensive controls on illicit financial flows, enhance and tighten anti-money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) measures significantly, and establish a system of automatic, transparent public reporting on progress. These steps are crucial to effectively move Nigeria off international grey lists and improve its global financial reputation.

You don't understand Naija's politics at all. If Wike defects now, who will bury the corpse of PDP. For Jagaban and Wike to fight may be after 2027 general election.

muyico:
How Wike go feel now?? Same party
But I no trust this man call fubara
Maybe after re election
He fit defeat to PDP
Politicians not to be trust

If Wike defedct now, who will bury PDP. You are very far from the game.

Dalohad:
Wike how far, you still dey wait to defect to APC?

If APC give Fubara ticket, try rebel am make body tell you.

So, you tour the whole Osun to know the feelings of the people just like that. You are part of the people that will push Jackson inside the pit.

TheWebbers:
Even if this guy go sheet and piss party, he will win by landslide.

I was in Osun recently and I did personal survey. The people dont give a hoot about party. 99% of them just love their governor.

He will move with the one PDP Senator left in the State, the remaining House of Rep Members that are yet to move to APC, the House of Assembly Members and his cabinet members to move with him.

Inspirer1:
we will start seeing defections to Accord party in Osun state

Dr. Wale Boluwaduro was the Commissioner for Finance during Aregbesola's regime. Next complaint?

Franklyspeakin:
Haaaaa a commissioner of finance from aregberascals govt is a very bad idea

Did you know that Remi Tinubu was at the centre of the ceremony. The Governor should know where to sing. He looks unserious all the times.

mrvitalis:
If you watch that video and blame Adeleke then you are a very stupid person

This was the same rubbish Patience Jonathan did around 2012 that eventually lead to Ameachi leaving PDP and Jonathan loss

A first Lady is an absolute nothing compared to a governor, the fact she was invited to the stage to sit with people of authority is enough respect

The First Lady should have sent a note or an aide to inform the Governor that he should respect time and go straight to his speech. I have nothing to about the Governor. You can only give what you have.

I am not Yoruba but who is stopping anyone from leaving Lagos. You need to suspend this your parochial idea for a moment so that you can think very well.

AqualinaXYZ:
My Rivers state is capable



Remove Igbo people business in Lagos and see Jigawa IGR bigger than Lagos



Igbo people no just wan get sense and stop investing in Lagos upon the open hatred melted before una face



I saw a news this morning where Yorubas are objecting a Sea Port Authority project being proposed in Delta state



I just laughed bcuz this is what I’ve been shouting about



South southerners the Yorubas don’t love u



They remember the southern unity when Hausa Fulani they show them shege



They remember southern unity because we have crude oil



Remove crude oil from south south and they’ll hate us more than they hate south east



If u get ear u listen

if the man in Aso Rock is lifeless, how do we descibe your entire family to the tenth generation.

Goo0dHardDick:
A very welcome development!

Annie will be dancing azonto wherever she is Right now.

When exactly is Donald Trump coming with his boys? The lifeless man we have in Aso rock has completely destroyed this country far more than beyond

If he has fever, you definitely have malaria. No matter how much you try it, you can never separate Makinde from the crisis. He was with Wike from the beginning. So, if he cannot sit down with Wike to resolve the crisis they both started, he has a serious problem. Makinde's name is among the ten members that killed PDP.

gare:
It's like you have fever, Makinde or Wike that has succeeded in burying the party.

You should know that it is not possible to separate Makinde from the crisis except you do not have knowledge of the beginning of the crisis or you intend to protect Makinde because of reasons best known to you.

gare:
It's like you have fever, Makinde or Wike that has succeeded in burying the party.

You are very far from happenings in Nigeria. I hope that somebody will assist you with a report of the total collapse of PDP.

kelvindj98:
Can someone explain this crisis, I am confused. Why won't PDP want the incumbent Governor to be their nominee for the election. Is it like the case of Ambode in Lagos?

It is an entitlement issue. He was singlehandedly sponsoring the party after the 2015 general election. With the arrangement to have a Wike/Tambuwal combo in 2023 and the betrayal that followed through Tambuwal's stepping down for Atiku to be the PDP's 2023 Presidential candidate, Wike is hellbent on showing who owns the PDP. For me, those still interested in PDP should sit down with him and navigate the way forward. This is the advice of HE Bukola Saraki, HE Sule Lamido and HE Ayo Fayose if it is not becoming late because I don't Wike can leave PBAT now but in Nigeria's politics, you can never say. Legally, Wike's people are the exco of the party. It requires political solution.

AMINDA:
But Atiku is no longer in the PDP and PDP has zoned its ticket to the South, why then is Wike still doing everything he can to ensure the PDP doesn't field a candidate? Don't forget that Wike kicked against the micro-zoning of PDP ticket to the Southeast and still lobbied to be Vice to Atiku after losing the PDP primaries. It was never about the South.

why are you ridiculing yourself.

chiagozien:
Only foo00ls see Kanu as a terrorist.

Reasonable people know he's a Freedom fighter.

So, attendance at a conference is a demonstration of leadership. Guys, find something reasonable to write about.
