Palmer. Receive sense

Colwill almost gifted them a goal. Always has that tendency for brain farts

Lol.. Davido game na oyibo man style game. Ajebutter soft boy game.

Broski came to Port Harcourt when I was in 500 level for a show at Pleasure Park, and boys started doing their usual. Pressing breast and collecting phones in the crowd etc.

He went back on stage and said something to the effect of 'Port Harcourt, na so una dey do'?


Na so boys light the place up and he straight up ran away. Na Duncan Mighty help carry am comot that day.

And for those of us who aren't PH boys, Pleasure Park is in the middle of two of the largest military bases in Nigeria, 6 Division HQ Nigerian Army, and 115 Special Operations Nigerian Air Force.

That was the smart thing to do no matter how rugged he is

Even if that was portable, he would have taken cover

Omoapena:
After watching most of Gazzuzz videos on TikTok, I feel it will make sense. Just that, there won't be much space for loads in the trunk..

How many times a day do you carry people with loads that won't fit into the trunk? Not worth wasting an extra 10k or more a day on fuel.

Omoapena:
Has anyone considered converting their car to CNG?

I'm considering doing it, do you think it will be a good move?

Shey you were arguing with me the other time. Its not even up for debate IMO. Every Bolt driver should do it. It will take less than 3 months to recoup whatever you spend doing it.

Realmrsean:
no even be say him dey control state funds like before

Itsrm will be disappointed I bet

One guy who used to be an insider exposed Chris on nairaland long ago. Let me look for the thread.

raumdeuter:
So what is the goal of National PDP to allow Wike (who is 1 leg in APC) to dictate their affairs unless its to lose

Wike is standing on Jagaban mandate, PDP National will want to win presidency in 2027. So how will that happen?

PDP governors were negotiating with Buhari in 2019 to give him 25% in all their states. That's how Buhari got the spread. The same thing will happen in 2027. Lets not deceive ourselves, there's no one who does not know Tinubu will win in 2027.

raumdeuter:
He has 2years to do all that. He is the governor, He can easily switch delegate list or discard and reapprove another delegate list, Choose direct or indirect primary. or make the venue of the primary to be in his Governors house

Unless Wike can control the PDP National to gegenpress Fubara out of the party which looks very unlikely at this point, Even if that should happen, Fubara can decamp to APC if APC and PDP blocks him then that is where the wahala starts. If he is very strong he can even move to a new party like Orji Kalu moved to PPA and made TA Orji win

Fubara has enough time to plan things, Wike with his gragra don give am enough time

If Wike stays in Tinubus good books there is always the Federal might option on election day

1yr to last election, Wike looked like a sworn enemy of APC by election day things changed

Why does it look unlikely? Remember that the governors control the party. Not noise makers like Daniel Bwala and Dele Moomodu.

Of the PDP governors, Makinde, Bala Mohammed and Fintiri are his allies.

Peter Mba of Enugu is a protege of another ally of Wike.

Edo will likely be lost to APC.

Delta and Akwaibom are first time governors and I'm not sure where their loyalty lies.

You are left with Diri and Adeleke.

The court has even just affirmed his right hand man Sam Daddy as the national secretary of the party.

Who is this person that will make it unlikely for Wike to control PDP national? Why do you think they have been unable to suspend him?

BlueRayDick:
Omo! U need to give it up for itsrm, he's been unwavering in his loyalty to and believe in the Wike mandate

Na why I talk say his analysis of this current situation may be more of emotions than being realistic, e get why.

We all know what happened. Atiku was shitting his pants. They had to summon an emergency meeting to mount pressure on Tambuwal.

OasisX:


.....má Nigga. Don't gree for anybody. Stay gallant on this table, dem no fit fall you bruh shaking or dragging.

I be one man mopol

Sportsweb:
Fubara porting to APC will stop all these noise from Wike camp.

Porting to which APC? With the state structure of APC firmly in Wikes hands?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I agree with BlueRayDick that Itsrm is just emotional about it.

2 years is a whole lot of time to change the narratives of any state politics.

Imo and Ebonyi are poor examples, because the governors then (Rochas and Umahi) defected, having a lot of time to change all unchangeables.

If Tinubu had shown his cards in 2017, Ambode won't have lost, or at least, easily. Tinubu waited till it was late; a kind of wisdom Wike does not have

I can't say if Fubara will be relevant then, but saying only death will make Wike irrelevant is funny.

2 years? Lol

Maybe Obi fit dey APC then sef. [/color]

Someone said the three most influential politicians in Nigeria now are Tinubu, Akpabio and Wike.

Just like you have Guardiola in football, Dangote in Business, we have Wike in politics.

Some people are just brilliant at certain things.

He now effectively controls APC and PDP in the state.

Again, only death can stop him. Nothing about emotions. It's reality.

DissTroy:
Governors are just as powerful as the structures they control. Immediately they turn against those structures, their powers diminish.

The connection to the grassroots in Rivers and Akwa Ibom is PDP. The thugs, the most powerful ward leaders, the village heads, the youth leaders, the paramount leaders... These people might twist for national politics but at the state level, they are fiercely loyal to the PDP.

Imo wasn't APC. We know how Hope Uzodinma came to power and the opposition he faced. But he had 4 years of oiling the machinery. Even on election day, he had to use other means to escape the jaws of defeat.

Again, I ask, why do you think Wike kicks against any attempt at removing him from the PDP and has never declared loyalty to the APC, but only says he's loyal to Tinubu?

Why do you Akpabio refused to campaign for any APC Akwa Ibom Governorship candidate last year but focused on his Senatorship and national politics?

Answer the last two questions.

You just explained the problem with Amaechi. Wike directed his henchmen to work for APC and they did. That was turning against the structure but the structure still went with him. Amaechi asked his henchmen to vote for Atiku, how did that turn out?

I don't know why Wike has not left PDP. My guess is that he won't have the sort of power and control he has over PDP on APC.

Realmrsean:
I want to ask you a question.. short term perspective.. who do you think 💬 won the war, wike who wanted to remove fubara but didn't succeed or fubara who fought his godfather, and still holds his ground..

I know anything can come up long term, even both of them could even be dead

But for this short term brawl wey all of dey alive to witness the scores of their short brawl

Who will you award the winner 🏆?

Fubara wanted to impeach the speaker and take out the local government chairmen by appointing caretaker committee, he failed. Wike wanted to impeach Fubara and he failed.

None of them have won the short term war. Wike is poised to win long term.

DissTroy:
Maybe he's biased. Amaechi's defection to APC weakened his influence in Rivers State politics.

He claims Amaechi isn't a grassroot polician. Same Amaechi who used to ride all over PH City on a powerbike as Governor?
Same Amaechi who fought an almost god-like Odili to take out a sitting Celestine Omehia to become Governor?
Same Amaechi who would personally supervise demolitions and constructed smart and modern schools all over?

His shortcoming was even being so loyal to the grassroots; he awarded road contracts to indigenous contractors who embezzled the monies and did shitty jobs or skipped on the contract executions.

Defecting to APC and his arch-role in bringing down Jonathan are cardinal sins the whole Niger-Delta wouldn't forgive. It had nothing to do with him being a grassroot politician.

Wike was just an enforcer for Odili and Patience Jonathan. Amaechi played grassroots from day one as a student activist.

Is this worse than Wike handing over POs votes to Tinubu? Did the same people you say wouldn't forgive Amaechi not threaten to punish Wike in the governorship election after he rigged Tinubu in by voting against Fubara? What now happened?

DissTroy:
Nobody could have delivered Rivers Governorship to APC in 2015 and 2019.

Even Akpabio, arguably the most-grassrooted politician in the region, and unarguably in the state, can't deliver the Governorship of his state to the APC, even now as Senate President.

Ask yourself why Wike doesn't want to leave a PDP weakened at the national levell. At state level, PDP is like a religion in Rivers and Akwa Ibom, even against my own wish.

On one hand you guys said governors are very powerful. On the other hand, you're making excuses for a sitting governor who couldn't deliver the governorship to his party.

Rivers is a core PDP state as was Imo and Ebonyi. How did APC win there?

BlueRayDick:
That is ur opinion and not necessarily true .

Any other person can claim all of those things u listed up there were done by Fubara and his loyalists just to show they still have leverage in spite of the agreement signed . More like they showing they are still in the game and not down & out.

Freelers has already shown that Tinubu was ready to weild the big stick if Fubara had not signed and abide by the dictates of the agreement . U don’t expect his supporters to be the first person to break the truce na

This is funny.

Fubara himself was still taunting Wike after the agreement was signed that what they wanted was the red pen and they didn't get it. He was even publicly gyrating to the dey your dey song

But his emergency supporters who were on all radio and TV stations suddenly decided not to speak after the agreement when the man himself has not stopped talking.

Meanwhile, loyalists of Wike have been talking. A local government chairman even called Fubara a mumu man. This is after the agreement you want us to believe has stopped the others from talking.

If that agreement had gone the way they wanted, they would have been every where gloating and celebrating the "death" of Wike.

BlueRayDick:
What were u expecting them to do instead? The moment he signed the agreement it means they've reached a truce na.

Why are u getting emotional with this thing ? They can't keep making threats knowing that a ceasefire has been reached by both warring sides na.

Why did the agreement not stop the protest in front of the government house?

Why did it not stop the Rivers State Elders from dragging Tinubu to court?

Why did it not stop PDP from dragging the lawmakers who left PDP to court.

Those who stopped talking did not stop talking because of any agreement. They quickly realised they are fighting a battle that has been lost.

DissTroy:
No single individual can pocket Rivers State. The man who would have been closest to doing so is Odili, yet he couldn't.
Wike wouldn't decide who becomes Governor in 2027.
You know how complex Rivers and its politics are? There are too many dynamic and incendiary factors at play to be controlled by one man for so long. Something would have to give way.

10 years ago, nobody thought Amaechi's influenced would have diminished so much in Rivers' affairs.
Odili was the most like Tinubu of any of the South South state 15 years ago.

Amaechi was never a grassroot politician. Even as a minister in Buharis government, he never had any real influence. Couldnt deliver the governorship election to APC and the party disintegrated under his watch. This was while he was a serving minister o.

raumdeuter:
2years still far and Wike showed his hands early which gives Fubara enough time to maneuver

If Tinubu don begin fight Ambode openly from 2015, Ambode could have used his governor power to buy support in those 2yrs before reelection, Na the shock factor few months to election catch Ambode by surprise because he was depending on the Tinubu structure before he could rally his own people the game was already over

No matter how long it takes, no one will risk his political career for Fubara. Have you not noticed that all the noisemakers who originally came out to support him have all gone into hiding the moment he signed that agreement in Abuja.

Only clowns like Chijioke Ihunwo are still talking.

Wike is believed to have the ears and eyes of the president and his chief of staff. INEC and the Judiciary are on the palm of their hands. Who is going to bet against them and support a man who doesn't even have control of his state HOA.

iamoyindamola:
Everywhere no be Lagos

What of Edo? Did they not pull the rug under Obaseki before he ran to PDP? Was he not a sitting governor? Where will Fubara run to?

OasisX:


....Wike's Luncheon shows the Structures are still firmly behind him. Funnily,
APC (faction) in Rivers State is on also on his side now.

The only think that can stop Wike right now is death. I won't be surprised if certain people are exploring that option.

iamoyindamola:
A sitting governor at that
Itsrm too they rate this wike sef

Okay na. The primaries will be conducted in 2026. Two years to go.

monerozi5590:
You are underestimating the power of a governor!

Dem dey pull rug under sitting governor. Ask Ambode

BlueRayDick:
That's what he's saying; that they are not afraid to write another one for Fubara come 2027 (even though we all know that's almost impossible if Wike still dey alive)

He should continue dreaming. He wants to write results for a man who won't even win the PDP primary election.

BlueRayDick:
Itsrm this man just confirmed what u’ve been saying all this while that dem dey write election result for Rivers state . He claims Labour Party won but na dem write the result cos Labour Party no get ginger

https://www.instagram.com/reel/C13yygXtW-G/?igsh=eml3N3QyN2h5MjJk

Ibime una people really get mind o

Na so the thing be na

But this guy no get sense. If results were written for Tinubu, does it not mean they did the same to bring the governor he's supporting?

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
SGF nko?

Seeing how the case turned out in court, I won't be surprised if some powers that be wanted him out.

Buhari is not particularly known for punishing corruption happening right under his nose.

And even if we agree that the SGF was indeed sacked due to corruption, it's just one out of hundreds if not thousands he appointed.

TrebleChamp:
SGF that Buhari sacked 1 year after Osinbajo panel submitted it's recommendation. The panel recommended that Babachir be immediately sacked and prosecuted for fraud, but Buhari waited 1 year to do the necessary but failed to prosecute him. Kindly name any minister that Buhari sacked for corruption reason? There were so many corruption allegations against Humanitarian Minister Sadiya Farouk, but your beloved Buhari turned a blind eye.

EFCC actually took him to court. He won

monerozi5590:
You guys ehn! Can you please tell us why Buhari sacked the SGF when he was the president and others too?

I said likely.

Buhari is more predisposed to covering up or not bothering about corruption going on under him.
