governor without vision, no developmental blue print, borrowed over N90b yet owing civil servants over 4months salary.
the only thing he taut as achievement is a few poorly-constructed make-shift roads with open gutter drainage.ing
Now he is deceiving us with we are chasing cultists in eagle Island of all places (tell that to a baby who grow up in potorico )
if he's really serious in rendering his fellow thugs homeless he should go to diobiu and town areas of PH especially the water fronts.
chase cultists in eagle Island ko
chase wike boys in super Eagles ni

Are you a cultist ? Why are you digressing from the issues at hand, when we want to talk about development you can bring up your lies, as far as I am concern there's nothing wrong in what the governor has done. Except you are one of the cultist that his abode was destroyed

Otapipia:
You see your life too? How could you not have seen that the man has made his point by not chickening out when the conspiracy to edge him out was rife? Whether he remains the chairman or not, on lookers will know that Sheriff is not a to take for a ride except you're ready for a battle.

Rat killer I believe that is your name, what you have failed to understand in all of this Sheriff's issue is clinging on to power, have you forgotten that he was only to stay for ONLY 3months? But the other day he said he will be here to 2018, that is what is wrong with our politicians, they don't want to leave, can't they take a cue from GEJ?

The day Sheriff made that statement i knew his intentions for the party are not good.

Over to the
Activists and patriots on this forum.. should Saraki resign?

Punch newspapers thank you very much for your polls on Saraki and his deputy, if they should resign over the alleged forgery allegations against them, you have seen the result, majority are calling for their resignation.

Now pls kindly do another asking these same people and more if PMB should resign because he has a case in court bothering on no WAEC certificate, if you don't do it then you guys are the biggest hypocrites I have seen.

The factional National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ali Modu Sheriff, has said he is ready to vacate his office only if the party’s leadership ask him to leave.

Sheriff’s comment follows the leadership crises currently rocking the opposition party after PDP claimed that the tenure of the factional leader had elapsed.

The party went ahead to inaugurate Sen. Ahmed Makarfi as the Chairman of a National Caretaker Committee to take over the leadership of the party.

But speaking when some state chairmen of the party paid him a solidarity visit in Abuja yesterday, Sheriff maintained that it was wrong for a faction of the party to attempt to push him aside when he was elected by the members of the party at its National Executive Committee meeting.

According to Sheriff, “I’m ready to go. I’m not saying I must be the national chairman at all costs. I was invited to lead the party and the election that brought me to office was done at the NEC Hall of the party at its national secretariat.

“Four other aspirants contested against me at the NEC meeting.

“The governors invited me among others to be considered by the NEC and the NEC sat and elected me as the national chairman of the party

“There’s nothing personal about my being there or individual pride about it. It is about the rule of law and the rule of law must not give way to illegalities.”

The former Borno State governor told the state chairmen that he was aware that his tenure would end in 2018, stressing that the former chairman that he replaced, Ahmed Mu’azu, was elected in 2014.

“Ahmed Mu’azu got his election when former President, Goodluck Jonathan was elected as the party’s presidential candidate in 2015. I replaced him. So, my tenure would expire after four years in office,” he added.

You see yourself, Sheriff you see your life ? Now you have changed your mind because you know the courts will disgrace you, you are now looking for soft landing, are you no longer selling forms again for Edo elections ? Please party leaders just text or call him by phone or send WhatsApp message to Sheriff to go he has done enough, I pity that Cairo from my state following him around.

Sheriff just go no worry, but the court will still rule and disgrace you because you brought it on yourself, by we would have forgotten about you but you insisted on staying back, now you begging party leaders to fire you .

ON THE RECENT DESTRUCTION OF CRIMINALS DEN IN RUMUOLUMENI COMMUNITY BY THE RIVERS STATE GOVERNOR. his excellency GOV. E. N. WIKE CON.

First of all I praise the steadfastness and efficiency of the Rivers State governor in tackling developments and the rise in criminality that has bedevilled our State lately, His amnesty offer & equipping of the Police and Military must be encouraged by all well meaning Nigerians.

Having said the obvious, It is my hope and candid opinion that such fights of good over evil in pursuit of peace, fairness, equity & justice must and ought to be done within the ambits of the law.

The office of the Rivers state Governor is a creation of law as enshrined under S. 5(2)(a) of the constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria AS AMENDED. I thus find it so disturbing when on the 28th of June 2016, the Governor His excellency Chief Ezenwo Wike, announced that every den of criminals shall be destroyed and the property used to build barracks and police stations; a threat he has already made good by destroying the criminal den at Eagle Cement Road Iwofe, and the property of an alleged criminal hideout rumoured to be situated around St. Johns along Iwofe/Coe road, as great an idea as this may appear, I wish to point out that I know of no known law that empowers the governor to be both the judge and the prosecutor at the same time.

Firstly, According to S. 36(4) Of the constitution of Nigeria as amended, the accused remains innocent until the contrary is proven by a competent court of law, and the acts of the governor as displayed above to my mind, appears to adjudge the accused as criminals until the contrary is proven.

Secondly, the acts of destroying and forceful acquisition of the properties of convicted kidnaps, armed robber etc Appears to be a borrowed leaf from Anambra State under the previous administration of the state.
Maybe, I need remind his excellency being a lawyer himself and a member of the prestigious Body of Benchers that the Supposed Act of destruction of criminal dens in Anambra state was pursuant to a legislation passed by the Anambra state house of Assembly, I believe, a power which the governor acted on in accordance with S.5(2)(b) of the C. F. R. N 1999. And I doubt because I know of no known law or legislation in Rivers State empowering the Governor to carry out his above Actions as at today.

Lastly there is no known law to my mind that stipulates that failure to report the criminal acts of a tenant shall have consequences on such landlord, if this is true, why then shall a landlord be forced to loose his property for leasing his house to fellow country men for a fee? Will such law not make Landlords weary of giving out such properties to strangers? Will such fear not mean that we treat our selves as suspects? Will such suspicions not cause disaffection in society instead of National Integration?

I therefore call on the Rivers State Government to act within the law rather than perceived abuse of Executive powers as these will not support the social contract theory, hence the aggrieved must be duly compensated and a proper legislation made by the Rivers state house of Assembly to guide and legalise the future acts of the Governor in these regards; hence I call on all well meaning Nigerians, civil societies and journalists to do the needful because today its not our properties involved but can we say same about tomorrow?

Caveat: This article is not intended to sponsor one political party over another, as I hold the office of the Governor in high esteem and will never be reduced to a pun in the hands of anyone or group of persons.

My friend carry your local ESq and go and sleep, how many times have you written to the Federal Govt over their constant breach on the law, please just allow the governor do his job where were you when Amaechi destroyed Ateke Toms shrine? Did he go to court to get judgement? Or did you send him an open letter ? Whatever you call yourself I beg to allow the government do its job and stop come here to do your law assignment or looking for relevance.

The Port Harcourt Division of the Court of Appeal has reserved 26th September for hearing of an appeal by a former Leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Chidi Lloyd.

The chieftain of the All Progressives Congress from Emohua Local Government Area is facing trial for alleged attempted murder, in a case related to the fracas in the Rivers State House of Assembly in July, 2013.

DAILY POST recalls that a Port Harcourt High Court had discharged and acquitted Lloyd after months of incarceration under former Governor, Rotimi Amaechi.

But the present government decided to revisit the matter, which border on alleged attack on the member representing Obio-Akpor Constituency 2, Michael Chinda.

The PDP administration, under Governor Nyesom Wike believes that the case against Lloyd was not judiciously disposed.

As a result, Lloyd had approached the Appellate Court to challenge the fresh charges.

Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal has fixed 26th September to begin hearing of the appeal, after the State Attorney-General, Emma Aguma, asked it to dismiss the appeal for lack of merit.

Egyptians you see today, tomorrow you say see them no more, how is market Chidi Lloyd, if it was a sane country or government whether you are opposition or ruling party he should be in jail cooling off, instead you contested and lost that's God first punishment for you atrocities, secondly your sins in the house is now being visited since you APC in Rivers State say we will not see peace, everyone of you will also not know peace.

Every atrocities that saint Amaechi swept under the carpet is stinking and there's need to clean the house, it very unfortunate that yours came first, would advice you don't waste your money because the whole world saw your actions. Egyptians we have seen you today how is market now.

Well I am looking beyond Bello not paying salaries, I know that is not a good thing, but I don't think Federal Govt has the power to stop Governors from travelling, these are all signs of dictatorship, we should not all this to continue, I am not holding brief for the governor's.

But once we see a bad process we should speak against it, there are better ways to make the Governor sit up, but by restricting is movement, that's wrong, he is not a criminal, he should not be treated that way.

ChangeIsCostant:
A peace move has been initiated in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA of Rivers State as known notorious cultists have embraced Amnesty for the sake of peace. The terrorist group known as ONELGA Militant Group have dropped their arms in a measure to embrace peace.

The group led by Don Wanny signed a peace agreement in the presence of the ONELGA Council chairman, Isaac Umejuru and ONELGA Peace Development Group headed by Bright Abali.

ZUBY77:
I don't play hatred game but I like to point out mistakes when men seems to be blinded by whatever they believe in.
The confusion that came with Religion is why we are where we are today.

Buhari said "We must learn to respect other people's Religion so we can live in peace"
If the Christian believers are as violent as his Muslim fanatics, someone would have yanked that cap off with his head.

By making that statement, Buhari simply told the Muslims and Christians to kill anyone who doesn't respect their Religion.


....And for the record, I don't care about the two Religions or any other Religion for that matter. So this is not me against you.

The simple answer to your observations is that those with caps on are fanatics, while does without caps are not , like Fashola he is a Moslem but his cap is off. But you should that Buhari doesn't care about Christianity.

If there is any element of truth in this stories then it is bad, I expect that EFCC should have the facts they need before you go and bring someone for questioning and I wonder why you have keep him for over 1month still questioning him.

All this is wrong, take this guys to court see you have overwhelming evidence against them which they made us believe I see know reason why they have assault them and keep them this long in custody

If your Dieziani has invested half of money looted in Niger Delta, the story would have changed. Diezaini was extravagant showbiz wastful spender while tinubu is strategy in spending. He imvest in project that bring development. Thats alot of differences my brother.

What are we even talking about here? That it is ok for one to still and irrespective of where you invest the money makes you the bad person? That's is wrong a thief is a thief whether you steak and invest in Nigeria or abroad a thief still remains a thief and they all should be punished for it, it shouldn't be selective, that is my stand, I am not saying those that stole during GEJ administration should be made to answer for it, but it should include the others from other parties.

SLIDEwaxie:
army generals earn more than NNPC chief

They don't, is that what your dad told you? Or you just assume. I am from private sector and Oil and Gas industry I do have a knowledge of what this GM and above take home and I don't even see any government sector or military establishment pay that to its personnel, you can't match the salaries of the Oil and Gas Industry to that of the civil service

HonSuQMaDIQ:
Op, don't you know that an army general earns far more than a Shell MD?

Who told you that? Get you facts right before you come here, don't come and confuse gullible Nigerians. Not in a hundred years will that happen, the allowances only is more than that of Generals

double0seven:
He ended the letter with "Your Brother and son"

Under what condition can that old man with moustache standing with Fayose, qualify as Fayose's son

You know what that is? Sign of sycophancy.

Don't mind him, of all he saw in the letter it was only that he could talk about, low minded people

hagmond1:
Tinubu worked for American companies Arthur Andersen,
Bola Tinubu was an executive with Mobil.
His political career began in 1992 not 1999, when he was elected to the Nigerian Senate representing the Lagos West

Top executive in Mobil, what was his position? Na you guys are holding brief for Tinubu, but do you that Diaziani was an Executive Director with Shell, so she may have acquired all that still from being a top executive, that is what we call top executive, not the Tinubu type

kahal29:
What happens if I NEC also shows up at his own primaries. Taraba case comes to mind

Which candidates bought forms from his faction, none, Edo PDP does not recognise SAS, the candidates doesn't recognise him so how does he intend to configure primaries.

phemmyutd:
Stop giving Us ghost reports.

Mention the name of people Amaechi gave the money to, their bank accounts.

Can't you see how Efcc are giving their own reports nowadays with exact figures, Beneficiaries, Account numbers, BVN, Date and time.

We want the same report against Amaechi and not beating around the bush for the past one year.

Who be the WE? Go and ask him don't you know the road to Govt house, or your own is just to make noise on NL, WE indeed.

Hold up nigga
Hold up
Said it saloon analysis
Do you even understand what happened?
Guess all you heard is buhari took silverbird from ben bruce.
Madam ben bruce wasn't servicing his loans that's why this whole thing happened
In pigin
Him no dey pay the small part payments that he is supposed to be paying! And this one don they go on for 5years now

Did you read my comments, please go back to it I never mentioned Buharis name on it, and I never said it was politically motivated moreover I never said he shouldn't be made to pay the price if he defaults but there should be fairness, do rush to attack me when you don't even know my point of argument.

Let all that are involved in it be made to pay the price you don't just single out someone and let the whole world know, everyone involved should have the same punishment.

2BB4CB3E:
The fact that your started your argument with that trash above doesn't warrant a reply but hey I have to talk na! Before you carry that thinking and become a governors wife or governor urself!
Now u say starting from the top abi
Why do you strongly feel that dangote isn't servicing his loans! Dude is worth 15billion$ that's the budget of this country! Do you have documented proof and guessing this is an idea that was shared in a saloon!
Like I said call it pdp or apc ur biz
He was owing end of discussion
When pdp enter(thats if they will ever see power again) they should do whatever they like

That where guys like you get it wrong, things don't work that way, that's what we call witch hunt, there should be fairness, if you desire peace you must fight injustice, so that tell me how much he is worth, you still don't have the details of Ben Bruce loan so let's, how do you know he is not servicing his own loan.

If we want things to work in this country an APC Govt should be able to probe APC and PDP people all together, if we go by your style then we will have sit tight President that wouldn't want to leave office due fear. We all need to change our mind set and work for the interest of all.

Put ur childish sentiments aside and think about your OWN life

What do you by start from somewhere? You guys the way you reason amazes me, even If they have to statr from where would you statr from? Is it not the guys that owe more you start from downwards, by the time this country go cash fire una eye go clear, make una dey side bad thing.

MalcoImX:
Fayose is foolish. Ben Bruce and even the clueless one got more brains when it comes to covering their tracks.How can you steal such huge amount and be making trouble for everybody. Ben with all his 'commonsense' noise quickly issued a plea from his constituency (Twittersphere), that his problem with AMCON will be resolved amicably - possibly begging them to give a little time and scurried to look for way to pay back. GEJ too, when he saw it'd be over managed to strike a deal - and at least he's been afloat up to this moment. Even though I don't rhyme with these men, they know how to preserve themselves.
But look at Fayose, threatenening to bring down everybody with him. He'll further alienate himself and the accomplice in crime may gang up to bring him down.

That's a Yoruba man for, always selling out since 1958

MissMetro:
Uju Stella made headlines after she called out Burna Boy saying he got her pregnant and doesn't want to take responsibility.

Well, she posted the picture above on instagram yesterday with her tummy visibly flat and it got tongues wagging with a lot claiming that she has done abortion and others claim she was never pregnant. Only a few think that it may be a throw back picture
