He posted details of Emeka's PVC as captured from an INEC computer .
So how does this in anyway constitute to invasion of privacy ?
For your information, anyone can approach their local govt INEC office to request for details of any candidate contesting an election .
INEC is compelled by law to give access to anyone seeking information as contained in INEC 's care be it PVC data and INEC forms submitted by a candidate standing for election.
No law was broken here and your fellow Obidients were twisting it that Lere had access to INEC servers which was a big fat lie...
bolaayenimo: I fully support this. In a saner clime now, he should have been invited by the DSS
How and when did a govt issued PVC become private property?
Anyone contesting a public office under an INEC conducting election loses all privacy as every document in possession with INEC is subject to public review
PVC information is public information as long as it is not used for impersonation.
Even at that, as a candidate running for public office, every relevant information submitted to INEC including your PVC details are open to public scrutiny.
ottersberger: So, let us not derail the discussion by injecting partisan loyalties or personality-driven arguments into the matter.
That being said, Anambra State did not operate an Office of the First Lady during Peter Obi's tenure as governor. I challenge you, or anyone else making a contrary claim, to provide verifiable evidence to the contrary. Not hearsay, assumptions, or political talking points, but credible and independently verifiable proof.
The issue here is not Peter Obi; it is whether the facts support the claim being made. If such an office is authorized by our constitution, yes or no?.
You are a liar to say Anambra state under Obi did not have a first lady .
You were the longest serving COAS in the history of Nigeria so much so your juniors even retired from the army before you and you left the country more insecure than you made it.
Oga go and face your venom milking snake farming business
ottersberger: In my knowledge, the office of the First Lady is not established, recognized, or authorized by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
The Nigerian Constitution provides for the offices of:
President Vice President Governors Deputy Governors Ministers Commissioners Local government chairmen Members of the National and State Assemblies Judicial officers
It made no provision whatsoever for a "First Lady" at either the federal or state level.
In constitutional terms, the First Lady is simply the spouse of the President (or Governor). Any activities undertaken by a First Lady are therefore based on convention, custom, or administrative arrangements rather than constitutional authority.
This has led to recurring debates in Nigeria because:
First Ladies often maintain offices funded by public resources. They sometimes have staff, vehicles, security details, and official programs. Some launch pet projects, foundations, or initiatives that appear governmental in nature. Yet they hold no elected or appointed office and are not subject to the constitutional accountability mechanisms applicable to public office holders.
Supporters argue that First Ladies perform valuable social and humanitarian functions, particularly in areas such as maternal health, education, women’s empowerment, and child welfare.
Critics argue that public funding and official privileges for an office not created by law raise constitutional and accountability concerns, a position I personally agree with.
Legally speaking, the spouse of the President is entitled to security and certain logistical support as a consequence of being connected to the Head of State. However, the existence of an "Office of the First Lady" as a governmental institution illegitimately derives from executive practice rather than constitutional authorization.
Therefore, if the question is strictly constitutional, the answer is no, the Nigerian Constitution does not create or authorize the office of the First Lady.
Should we then have one?. Must we continue the obvious wasteful illegality?.
Is now you remember that first ladies are not a constitutionally recognised office because of your hatred for Remi Tinubu.
Why did your Giringori own wife operate a first lady of Anambra office then?
Kanwulia: Tinubu should never be messenger not to mention president. You are not ashamed a non-Nigerian is ruling Nigerians BY FORCE! So sorry for you.
Kanwulia: OBI IS A NIGERIAN, TINUBU IS NOT! We have heard, but he can still exercise his right to contest. Go and concentrate on your rigging machinery ahead of 2027.
hegelian: then we vote him out too and make life a living hell for him too until we elect someone who is sensible enough to do the right thing by the country... what we wont do and shouldnt do is to enforce failure nor defend our oppressors...infact shorten election year to 2yrs so we can change them every 2yrs...we should never ever reinforce failure, u fail and u get booted out simple
Giringori will never EVER be President .
The sooner you realise this, the better for your own fragile mental state.
truthera: I came across a thread featured in the home page of this website titled "Kwakwansiyya Gives Reason On Why He Is Not Supporting The OK Ticket" in which Kwankwanso's supporter said the following below.....
I wonder why Peter Obi has continued to deceive himself that Kwankwaso a fulani man and his fulani movement Kwakwansiyya are happy with his presidential campaign? The sentiment shared by that Kwakwansiyya man is not an isolated one, he is only echoing the mindset of other northern fulanis in the NDC coalition..... Let no one be deceived that northerners especially fulanis will want or genuinely support an igbo presidency. It was not long ago that the video below was uploaded showing Kwankwaso dragging party membership card and cap from Peter Obi ....
I will not be surprised if Kwankwaso pulls out on the eve of the election to sabotage Obi's party..... I will reiterate, if Peter Obi genuinely wants the progress of Nigerians which I still doubt he does, he should collapse his futile presidential campaign and throw his full support towards pushing for a referendum that will totally decentralize or dissolve Nigeria, anything less is a betrayal to his people the igbos and all southerners who he hopes to ride on to win 2027 presidential election.....
You are just spewing trash.
The man stated his reasons and he never mentioned Obi's tribe but rather the lack of any legacy or network obi had built over is years as a politician and former governor.
If this was Amaechi, Roachass, Wike, Donald Duke , Solodu, Umaihi, etc, he won't be making this statement.
The reason is who Obi is and not where Obi is from.
There's an existing law in the US known as the Church Act that explicitly states that any church, religious body or figure who openly endorses any candidate will automatically lose their tax exempt status
This act is still in place although Trump has continued to flaunt it by protecting his fanatical evangelical Zionist pastors and the Chabad rabbis who openly support , campaign and direct funding to Trump.
Once the Democrats take over, they have vowed to lift tax exemption on all these Zionist entities .
I believe such law is well over due in Nigeria
If traditional rulers are barred from open partisan politics , why should these rogues in the pulpit be allowed to become political influencers when it is clear most are being paid or anticipating reward for endorsing a political candidate.
CodeTemplar: Anambra was described as a dot in a circle by Yekini's predecessor so use your brain. Ayetoro in the other hand is a coastal settlemwnt like VI.
Ofunaofu: You keep saying Obi has no pathway, yet you're the one making all the noise about him. That's a lot of attention for someone you claim has no pathway.
You don't want the free negative publicity we are giving your Giringori ?
ogascomax: You see the OK ticket you guys are banking on. It will backfire in the North and in Kano State. I just dey pity all of una. Instead of Obi to partner Atiku for us to chase Tinubu from office he is busy doing a spoiler thinking that he has a banger. That is dead on arrival.
Sshh!
Don't let Obidients know their Giringori is working for Tinubu.
