I feel because Oshiomole has been supporting his candidacy or probably because he never really send am since.

Now Oshiomole want his position in the senate and at the moment na Oshiomole and Ize iyamu dey control APC edo state structure.

I learnt he anointed Edo South APC senatorial aspirant in the person of Lucky Imasuen.

So Oshiomole is stilll very influential in APC and this guy can’t stand him as Oshiomole will beat him blue black even if he decamp and he is given the PDP ticket which I don’t even see him getting in PDP.

If he joins any of those unpopular party then he will just end up wasting his resources because it’s Oshiomole we are talking about here.

Note: due to recent happening in edo state. I am anti-Oshiomole but won’t stop me from realistically stating the fact.

vexing:
As far as Edo north is concerned, Alemikhena will beat Oshomole even if he joins APGA. He has been the only APC senator in Edo State even though PDP have been controlling all other senatorial seats for the past 8 years.

Oshiomole don run this one street!

He knew he stands no chance in a contest against Oshiomole who is currently seeking his position in the senate.

Omo guy don tear race!

As much as I don’t like Wike especially is recent ways of attacking and playing politics which I foresee will give him serious problem when his immunity as a governor is over.

But he made some salient point right there. Let’s be rational

The fair lady be crying shouting “Oga is not safe Oga is not safe. Nigerians please help.”

Like seriously, those people even have conscience? When dem dey power dey we’re treating the masses anyhow. Now it’s over to them.

Before nkor? All these big countries trying to be Africa brothers all have self interest first before any billions is dole out.

China, US, UK etc are not Father Christmas.

Anything when nor go benefit their interests and that of their ally in the long term they will never support it.

So if you say you are big enough to go against their interests at anything then be ready to big enough to fund and face your money and all other issues alone.

Na all these visionless African nations I blame.

Be running to all these countries for help, aids and support without also being useful

Ooops

This is very commendable of GSM because not all state governors do it promptly monthly.

This is one major thing that rate Governor Obaseki of Edo state high. Latest 24th of each month my wife don receive alert.

Same thing goes for pensioners. I learnt from my brother’s wife in high court that once she retires the following month she don already dey get her monthly alert.

Now Obaseki has also recently increased minimum wage and my wife is telling me it will also reflect in their May salaries.

We know it’s no biggie and the duty and obligations of every serious government to put the interest of their workforce salaries and pension payment first but not all state governors do it especially now that they are now complaining of paucity of funds from the center as excuses.

If the story is true, I think all these partisan traditional rulers should be checked

Ozigbo reasons not clear enough but the other guy reasons seems fair enough

Well in as much I can’t call Prof Osinbajo a betrayal because I don’t really know his agreement with Sen Tinubu back in the days before he was drafted as VP to run with General Buhari. But what Gov Bala has said is in order.

For me, there is some level of sacrifice and benevolence one will do for me in the past even while not convenient for such as a person at that time but person still do it against all odds, I will never hesitate to reciprocate same gesture when it’s my turn.

It’s has been my principle and that is what Gov Bala is saying about GEJ and that is what many Tinubu supporters excepted of prof Osinbajo.

Well it’s left for him to decide for or against and I don’t think being cajoled or blackmailed is the right thing

Toktee:
Some bastards called politicians made human their god thereby forgetting that there's hereafter.




OSIBANJO HAS NO GOD FATHER IN HUMAN.




NONSENSE.

It seems she has put a lot behind her from what I can see and decided to face the African reality of being a woman (mother) for once.

Congrats to her.

Don’t mind him and his likes. I don’t have any problem with anyone aspiring to any political position of choice. But it makes no sense to sit tight and be using your office resources and privileges to hunt your rivals and opponents.

If you feel you are qualified and have the popularity and resources then resign and jump into the ring and compete.

sapientia:
The only thing that matters to Malami is the fact that he wants to be a Governor

This is what happens when you have a a political megalomaniac as your AGF

For me I think it’s a two way thing.

Either Buhari free him at the peak of 2023 electioneering after he might have strike a deal with Kanu and his team to bolster his anointed candidate political chances.

Or he decide to call the bluff and keep in detention using perpetual courts adjournment until after he leaves office and let the next government decide what to do with him because to Buhari now he has been able to tame the succession advocates across the country in the person of Kanu and Sunday Igboho and would not want to free them so they can add to his many troubles presently in the country couple with the rising incidences of insecurities across the country.

I don’t get it, why is Russia denying that the body bags is fake?

Why not own up as the power figure they are with their full chest that their invasion of Ukraine brought about the mass killing of armless civilians.

Daddy GO with due respect. It’s no secret you supported this disaster regime to assume office in 2015.

Posterity will not be kind to you at all. It was only bishop Oyedepo that was screaming and warning Nigerians vehemently against this impending colossal disaster of a government and people called him an alarmist because he knew bubu antecedents that leopard will never change its spot. Shame!

I agree with you.

I remember when trump was doing all the paparazzi show man imposing sanctions on china which almost led to the demise of hauwei, you will never see china become on the offensive publicly trying to flex muscles as a world power with USA.

They prefer to work behind the scenes cunningly and craftily than doing a show man thing like Russia is doing to Ukraine.

Whether Russia likes it or yes, their fear factor don reduce

joyandfaith:
Historically, China is a pacifist state. I agree with you, China will not invade Taiwan unless WW3 breaks out.
A good leader should not bring war to his border. Putin made that mistake. US will do anything possible to prevent war in Latin, North and South America.

Una don start again!

Firstly, people started accusing America of carrying false news and propaganda for saying Russia invasion of Ukraine was imminent.

They called them war-mongers. And then their intelligence was right and people started shifting the goal post to America is a cry cry baby scared of this scared of that saying Russia was only carrying out a military drill.

From military drill to Russia is only trying to teach the comedian Ukrainian president a lesson and from a mere lesson teaching to, they are only trying to surround the whole of Ukraine so that they can effect a power change and move out thereafter.

Before you know it they started targeting and shelling key infrastructures and when all these keep failing and not achieving its purpose, they are now targeting civilians.

And people keep giving one thousands and one reasons why Russia is right and never wrong as they keep changing and becoming more brutal.

Now, it’s china is not Russia like say 1 person go fit fight hundreds even if na super man.

heniford2:
China nobi Russia anything can happen at anytime.

How is it very bad?

With the present day harsh economic realities and without any plan of the federal govt to formulate policies that will help cushion the effect of inflation and cost of diesels how do you want them to survive?

Alexpre11:
Very bad

This is just sad!

I wonder why the armed forces keep waiting for bubu to tell them in capital clear terms to go after these blood thirsty terrorists before they will stop handling them with kid gloves?

It’s Atiku and you’re correct judging by how he stylishly supported him in last election and how he has been doing same from behind the scene this coming elections

festacman:
Farooq Kperog is obviously either Atiku or Tambuwal man. Trust Northerners even when they are the minorities up there to pursue Arewa agenda.

Did anybody notice how he threw up religious sentiment around erudite Prof Osinbajo?

Pray what is the difference between the set of Southern candidates he listed and the Northern set of Atiku Abubakar and Tambuwal? They are all selfish. They looted.

That's how they are desperately trying to recruit Goodluck Jonathan to do 4 years and hand power back and he is even thoughtlessly considering the offer.

Farooq Kperogi is not any less a bigot and a northern supremacist than Pres. Buhari. The handwriting is clear.

I will give to my state governor - Obaseki on this since he became governor not just active civil servants only also retirees. Salaries are paid promptly

China has always preferred its economic power over anything else that is why they are at the top of the pyramids.

Obaseki won his second term election in PDP. So his case is different

Pierocash:
Those that defected to PDP like obaseki and co should be sacked too

Which appeal court judgement? Has the appeal court rule yet?

Esama:
The judgement of appeal court real humble this man.

Obaseki did and Oshiomole didn’t he even empowered them - Bob Izua cousin Kabaka became the next and even deadlier Bob Izua until they were tamed by Gov Obaseki who now collect most revenues via POS devices straight to the statement government coffers.

Cantonese:
That’s the initial gra gra that we should expect from the touts.

When Brig. Gen Buba Marwa banned the NURTW activities in Lagos as the governor, the touts reacted this way. Brig. Gen Marwa simply sent the then Operation Sweep for enforcement. When they started shooting the touts dead and arresting them at the bus stops, they all disappeared. They could not dare return until the administration of BAT. The result is what we see today with the likes of MC. Oluomo.

Oshiomole chased them away too with the likes of Bob Izua, hiding themselves at a time.

Gov. Soludo will find a solution to their stupid acts and deal with them effectively.

Honestly speaking, Tinubu will perform well and the antecedents are there unlike the current deadbeat illiterate at Aso-rock although Tinubu is a thief and him and his cronies will loot.

tollyboy5:
Ok that's someones opinion tho. Its doesn't prove anything.

Yeah you are right but it had me thinking especially coming from a Russian

I saw this comment by a Russian on twitter and it had me thinking


“Mr. President! He is a strategy genius! Today Russia is at an economic level comparable to third world countries! Tomorrow will be worse than in North Korea. The day after tomorrow China will do to you what you did to Belarus. You will be their footstool! �”

PressMyButton:
Aside Buhari, which other politician has more followers than Tinubu?. I guess you're mistaking followers in this context as "Twitter/Instagram followers"..Lol. That's a slow reasoning you've got top of your head.

Honestly speaking, I don’t think there is any Nigerian politician who currently has the enormous contacts and followers nationwide and beyond within the business and political circles as Tinubu.

He seems to have been so intentional and laying the foundational works of being a president behind the scenes.

He has been a benefactor to too many people who really have a say about elections. Reasons APC has been playing all sort of gimmicks postponing their conventions and all. This obviously means those that calls the shots in APC and present day government may not actually want his presidency.

Many have failed to realize that Tinubu is a huge force to reckon with in this coming elections.

I don’t like him because is one those very corrupt politicians who still believe in the old ways of playing politics of god-fatherism.

But the reality is that should he win the presidential primary from any of the top two largest and well grounded political parties in Nigeria, he will use his enormous questionable wealth, large networks of friends, political and business ally, those he has render business and political Favour for across the country and world at large to prosecute the elections.

Winning elections in Nigeria is hard and require a lot which is chiefly money and that he has en-mass by crook over the years being the d’facto governor of Lagos till date.

Again, Tinubu will undoubtedly perform well unlike this colossal disaster illiterate currently in Aso Rock. although Tinubu is gonna loots and also enrich his cronies but he will certainly take Nigeria some positive steps forward judging by his antecedents.

This won’t happen. If he tries it his political career will be dead.

The only thing he can do is remain in APC and strike a deal with PDP to sabotage and scuttle APC chances in the next gubernatorial election.

If he tries to act god by publicly coming out to campaign against APC or decamp outrightly to any opposition party it will be suicidal for his political career.
