Sokoto State is fully batified.

MasterTeeUSA:
You draw the assumption based on Tinubu being the only reason for the North to vote on Feb 25th. You forget there are House of Reps, Senators on the ballot too. You think most voters split votes? I completely disagree with that. APC structure...those running for Senate and House play local politics...they are the DARKHORSES because they want to WIN as well

donphilopus:
Who are the rest? Rest like Obi and Atiku? Funny you.

Presidential election in Kano is between Tinubu and Kwankwaso. Atiku would come a distant third while void votes might be higher than Obi's votes.

Wow,I am currently at the Millennium City Awka now,I am handling a business here,the city is the best so far in the south east

When I saw the thread where they claimed Shettima was saying the northerners are not working for him, I didn't bother to click on it because I know he was misconstrued.

The Hausa/Fulanis are overwhelmingly supporting Tinubu. If the literates and semi-literates could still be supporting Tinubu the way they're doing now, that means those who don't have access to the internet amongst them would be far more in number.

Las las Tinubu would win this election.

Carmal90:
This is how this man claimed neither Buhari nor Atiku will be president in 2019.
That you rightly predicted that election will be postponed in 2018 doesn't make you a prophet sir.

Six villagers have been killed with three soldiers injured by armed invaders in a fresh attack on Ikobi community of Apa Local Government Area (LGA) in Benue State, according to the military.

One of the locals said that soldiers of Operation Whirl Stroke (OPWS) stationed at Agagbe responded to a distress call and during the process, they had encountered armed invaders at Tse-Abwa, Mbapa council ward in Gwer West LGA.

Another local explained that the soldiers had on Saturday responded to the distress call when Ikobi community in Apa LGA was under invasion, adding that the soldiers repelled the attackers but were later ambushed on their way back to Agagbe on Sunday at Mbapa council ward of Gwer West LGA.

“The incident occurred in the communities bordering both Apa and Gwer West LGAs,” he stated.

Similarly, a resident of Ikobi said six persons were killed by the armed invaders in the community at the weekend while a few others were still missing.

The resident added that four of the deceased were killed on Saturday while the other two were killed two days earlier.

“On the 2nd of February, armed invaders macheted a man called Usman Ochowechi in his farm close to his village of Oloke in Ikobi and they sent him a message that he should tell the Ikobi people that they are coming, which they did, attacking and killing two persons.

“Miss Eba Usman was still missing on the 3rd of February in Ikobi Ochekwu, Apa LGA. They came back again on 4th February and killed four persons in the same Ikobi. The deceased are Edeh Baba, Innocent Owoicho, Ochekpe Ajekpa and Abugbe.”

Corroborating the Ikobi killings, a lawmaker representing Apa constituency at the State House of Assembly, Abu Umoru, confirmed the killings to Channels Television’s correspondent on the telephone.

“It’s a confirmed story, suspected herders invaded the Ikobi community and so far, six lives have been lost within the past four days. They could be more. We had to put a call through to OPWS and the commander has mobilised soldiers to the community.

“People have fled their homes so we can’t even know the exact number of casualties for now,” Umoru said.

Meanwhile, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Benue State, Catherine Anene, said she does not have the information.

But, OPWS Public Relations Officer, Flight Lieutenant Katty Audu, in a statement confirmed the attack on Ikobi community, saying three soldiers were wounded in the encounter with armed herders.

“Troops of Operation Whirl Stroke received information about an attack on Ikobi community on the 4th of February 2023 at about 5 pm and responded immediately. The gallant troops moved to the area and cleared the community. The rampaging armed herders fled towards Nasarawa State on sighting the troops.

“The situation though dicey has been stabilised. The operation continued the next day, 5th of February 2023 in adjoining communities. While the troops were moving towards Agagbe, they had contact with some bandits.

“The bandits fired at the troops and our troops engaged them with superior firepower that lasted for about 30 minutes. Three of our troops sustained various degrees of injury. The injured troops are currently receiving treatment,” Audu stated.

Local sources had earlier told Channels Television that a soldier was killed and two of his colleagues were seriously injured after an encounter with the gunmen who invaded the rural Ikobi community over the weekend during which six people were killed.

One of the locals who spoke to Channels Television said, “Two soldiers sustained serious injury and one was killed.

Moh247:
On the contrary... He is pushing blames on cabal an imaginary entity while making Buhari and Tinubu look like the victims

It's gaining slow traction many are now seeing Atiku and Cabal as one and working against Nigeria

Moh247:



FFK is good at his game

No wonder Obasanjo, Jonathan and now Tinubu are using him to run campaign media

She needs to be reminded that in politics, minority will have their say but majority will have their way.

Asiwaju Tinubu lokan!

The Minister of Information Alhaji Lai Mohammed on Tuesday accused opposition parties of stifling the efforts by the federal government to reduce the pains caused by the cash swap policy.

The Minister who made the allegation at a press conference in Abuja drew the attention of Nigerians to the court orders seeking to stop the government from doing anything about the deadline for the currency swap.

Mohammed said: “Let me use this opportunity to assure Nigerians that the Federal Government is mindful of the inconveniences currently being endured by citizens as a result of fuel supply disruptions and the recent redesigning of some Naira notes.

“Government is working assiduously to restore normalcy to these critical enablers of economic activity and to take added measures, where necessary, to alleviate the pains of Nigerians.

”Recall, ladies and gentlemen, that after his meeting with Progressives’ Governors on Friday, Mr. President Buhari urged citizens to give him a seven-day window to resolve the currency crunch that has emanated from the implementation of the Naira redesign policy.

“Unfortunately, on Monday (yesterday), some opposition political parties ran to court to obtain an injunction restraining Mr. President and the CBN from extending the Feb. 10 deadline for Nigerians to exchange their old notes for new ones. The court action came after a number of opposition parties threatened to boycott the 2023 general elections if the deadline was extended.

“These curious actions by the parties concerned is clear evidence that the opposition has turned this whole issue into a political game, preferring to make Nigerians suffer more on the altar of unconscionable political gamesmanship. “Or how else can one explain the fact that these unscrupulous opposition parties do not want any action that could reduce the pains being experienced by Nigerians? “How else can one explain the fact that they have decided to legally hamstring Mr President, in particular, from providing any relief for Nigerians suffering from the cash crunch? It is bad politics when you put the interest of desperate political parties over and above that of Nigerians, the same Nigerians whose votes you earnestly seek.

“One thing is sure though: the desperate actions will not save these sinking political parties as voters have already seen that they are the real enemies of the people and not President Muhammadu Buhari or the All Progressive Congress (APC). And despite the antics of the opposition, rest assured, ladies and gentlemen, that the government is willing and able to take decisive steps to bring succour to Nigerians in the shortest possible time.

”Finally, please permit me, on behalf of the Federal Government, to most sincerely congratulate Nigerian Artiste Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, for her 2023 Grammy Award. By dint of hard work and uncommon creativity, Nigerian musicians have continued to take the world by storm and make the country proud. We hope this remarkable achievement by Tems will spur her to greater heights and serve as an inspiration to other artists who are also eyeing the highly-coveted honour.”
