Recall that Fayose, who is known for his outspokenness, described Wike as a “troublemaker” and that it is better to be with him than against him.

He also advised Fubara to clothe Wike in a garment of honour and to close his eyes completely to avoid seeing anything that could cause problems between them.

In May 2023, former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, warned Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, against falling out with his predecessor and political godfather, Nyesom Wike, if he wants to govern the state peacefully.

Fayose gave the warning at a State Banquet held to honour Wike after he handed over office to Fubara.

Recall that Fayose, who is known for his outspokenness, described Wike as a “troublemaker” and that it is better to be with him than against him.

He also advised Fubara to clothe Wike in a garment of honour and to close his eyes completely to avoid seeing anything that could cause problems between them.

Obj did that and sacked or better still, suspended the governor. However, the court later ruled that going by the provisions of the Constitution, the President has no power whatsoever to remove a governor or any elected officials even in the State of Emergency situation. That was why Goodluck Jonathan couldn't removed those governors in the North even when he declared SoE.

I'm quite appalled by the illegal act of suspending the Governor when the constitution is clearly against it.

Politics › Before Tinubu, Obasanjo Was First To Declare Six-month State Of Emergency by Giftimoni(op): 9:38pm On Mar 18, 2025
Before Tinubu, Obasanjo was the first to declare a six-month state of emergency in Plateau State in 2004 due to clashes in the state between Muslims and Christians, which, at the time, reports say spread to some parts of Kano State.

The OBJ government accused Governor Joshua Dariye of not doing anything to douse off the killings in Plateau and said it feared the crises may spread further. Dariye was therefore suspended and Maj-Gen Chris Alli (retired) was appointed to administer the state for a renewable six months. But it wasn't renewed after it ended in November. Dariye, however,, came back with some skepticism over some allegations against him in the UK. But still, that's not reason enough for him to be denied resumption into office by Obasanjo.

Does it work? Partly yes. Alli handled the affairs of Jos almost like the military he was. The bloodshed significantly reduced, and people were able to move around, unlike before the state of emergency. We enjoyed relative peace on the Plateau at the time. I still remember this.

With the recent development in Rivers and the president's decision to suspend Fubara's government, we hope it turns out to be effective in calming situations down and not result in some political assassination.

Meanwhile, how independent panel knocked Supreme Court over judgment.

Politics › Understanding States Of Emergency: Context And Constitutionality by Giftimoni(op): 9:03pm On Mar 18, 2025
A state of emergency is a situation where a government takes extraordinary measures to protect its citizens and maintain law and order. According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, it's a national danger or disaster situation that requires the government to suspend normal procedures to regain control.

In Nigeria, the President can declare a state of emergency under Section 305 of the Constitution. This allows the President to take measures that wouldn't normally be permitted, such as suspending governors or state assemblies. The President must then notify the National Assembly, which can approve or revoke the state of emergency.

Nigeria has a history of declaring states of emergency, including in 1962, 2004, 2011, and 2013. These declarations have been made in response to various crises, including political unrest, ethnic and religious conflicts, and terrorist attacks.

In the current situation, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared a state of emergency in Rivers State, suspending the governor, deputy governor, and state assembly for six months. The President has also appointed a sole administrator to manage the state.

Section 305 of the Constitution outlines the conditions under which a state of emergency can be declared, including:

- *War or imminent danger of invasion*
- *Breakdown of public order and safety*
- *Clear and present danger of breakdown*
- *Natural disasters or calamities*
- *Other public dangers threatening the Federation*

The section also specifies the procedures for declaring and revoking a state of emergency, including the role of the National Assembly.

Do you think a state of emergency is necessary to restore peace in Rivers State?

The Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom WIke, has said that the Rivers State Governor, Sim Fubara, surrounded himself with those who wanted to be governor of the state.

Wike made the revelation while speaking at a grand reception in his honour by the Kalabari people of the state on Saturday.

According to him, the people advising Fubara do not mean well to him and want him to vacate the seat for them.

He mentioned the Secretary to the State Government, Tammy Danagogo, who is one of the people who started the face-off between him and his successor, leading the state into crisis.

The minister said, “The problem started when Danagogo, the Secretary to the government, used his elder brother, who is a justice, to use an exparte order to justify that 27 members of the Rivers Assembly have defected. Unnoticed. He also used the same order to say that the state governor can present the budget to three or four lawmakers.

“Look at Danagogo, who wanted to be governor. He was so pained that he was not given the ticket; he was the one following the governor, and he (Fubara) did not know. He will lead you (Fubara) to hellfire.

“You (Fubara) surrounded yourself with people who wanted to be governor, whom I said ‘no’, these people don’t mean well for Rivers State.’ They are the ones surrounding you, giving you advice. Do you think you will succeed? They will give bad advice, and look at what bad advice is doing to you. You are already down 2-0, and there’s more to come. They come there and abuse me and you are happy; you don’t know it is you they want to destroy.”

According to the Deputy Chief Whip, other lawmakers too would narrate to the committee what they know regarding the alleged case of sexual harassment levelled against Akpabio by Natasha.

“All the parties involved would appear before the Committee, including the Senate President. He would come and testify and his testimony would be recorded, likewise other senators,” he stated.

Natasha, a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had on February 28 alleged that the incident occurred in December 2023 when she and her husband visited Akpabio’s residence in Uyo, the capital of Akwa Ibom State.

She alleged that during the visit, the Senate President held her hand, led her around his house, and then made inappropriate advances towards her, even in her husband’s presence.

But Nwebonyi, who represents Ebonyi North, accused his colleague of diverting attention, adding that the upper chamber is not perturbed by the allegation.

“In criminal prosecution, there is what we call prima facie evidence, that is evidence on the surface. If there is no prima facie evidence, then there is no case.

“She knows quite alright that what she is saying is to divert attention but we are not disturbed because we know the truth.

“On the alleged date of the incident, so many senators were there. I am one of the star witnesses, I will come and tell the world what I saw,” he added.

The 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, Adewole Adebayo, has vowed to run for the number seat in the country in the 2027 elections.

He said, “Let us understand something. I don’t worry about that; everybody who is coming in knows I will run in 2027.

“Any coward who will feel threatened by people coming to his party can not be president.”

Adewole’s comment follows the defection of the immediate past Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, to the party on Monday.

Following his defection, El-Rufai has been making political moves to woo some politicians to the SDP.

Adebayo also described El-Rufai as a hard-working and patriotic Nigerian, adding that the ex-governor is very effective in an area where there are no effective people in government.

He said, “The reason why I welcome El-Rufai to my party is that I see him as a patriotic Nigerian, hard working, very effective in an area where we don’t have effective people in government, that’s all.”


He expressed confidence that he would be the party’s presidential candidate in 2027 regardless of the political stature of politicians defecting to the party.

The politician said he is not afraid or threatened by the defectors, adding that every party member knows he will contest again.

Politics › Big Men With Private Jet Will Soon Hear From Us- Keyamo Hints On Aviation Reform by Giftimoni(op): 7:25am On Mar 14, 2025

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doK5pkvIHmg

Speaking at the 2025 ministerial press briefing, Keyamo disclosed that a task force set up under his administration discovered extensive abuse of private jet licenses, leading to massive revenue losses for the country.

“We inherited a major problem when we assumed office, and we have decided to tackle it head-on: the illegal use of private jets for unauthorized charter operations. These private jets have been operating largely unchecked, doing whatever they like. Beyond that, they also deny the federal government substantial revenue,” Keyamo stated.

The minister emphasized that this illegal practice has persisted for nearly 50 years, with many influential figures advising him against addressing the issue.

“When I came into office, people told me, ‘Minister, don’t bother yourself with this. These are the big men who own Nigeria; you cannot tackle them. Just forget about it.’ But I refused,” he revealed.

Keyamo explained that the federal government has lost approximately ₦100 billion in revenue over the past decade due to illegal charter operations.

He detailed how private jet owners evade higher fees by obtaining Private Non-Commercial Flight (PNCF) licenses—which are meant for personal or corporate use—while secretly using their aircraft for commercial charter services.

“These licenses come with significantly different fees. The PNCF license is much cheaper because it is meant for private use—flying company directors, family members, or personal business trips. But if you want to operate commercial flights carrying passengers for a fee, you must obtain a different, more expensive license,” he explained.

Beyond financial losses, Keyamo highlighted the grave security risks posed by these unregulated private jet operations.
