What is he coming to do? We don't want Bulaba in Anambra.

You don't want him but you cry for not getting appointment from him. You can hate someone and expect him to like you too.

ABUJA,




The Northern Renaissance Network (NRN), a prominent advocacy group championing integrity and transparency in Nigerian governance, has issued a scathing statement calling on Dr. Oby Ezekwesili, former Minister of Education, to clear her name amid serious allegations of accepting bribes. The claims, made by Dr. Sandra Duru in a viral video, allege that Ezekwesili was paid by Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan to defend her in a controversial sexual harassment case involving Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
In the video, Duru alleged that Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan admitted during a phone conversation to offering financial incentives to Ezekwesili and others, whom she reportedly referred to as “useful idiots,” to support her claims against Akpabio. Duru further claimed that Akpoti-Uduaghan attempted to bribe her to join the campaign, an offer she says she rejected.
The NRN expressed deep dismay at the allegations, describing them as a “serious betrayal of public trust” and a “grievous dent” on Ezekwesili’s reputation as a longstanding advocate for good governance.

“These accusations strike at the heart of the values of honesty, accountability, and moral rectitude that Dr. Ezekwesili has publicly championed,” the group stated, noting that her entanglement in such a controversy risks undermining her legacy and Nigeria’s broader fight for ethical leadership.


The group emphasized the gravity of the claims, warning that they suggest a deliberate attempt to manipulate public discourse for personal or political gain. “These allegations, if left unaddressed, cast a dark shadow over Dr. Ezekwesili’s contributions to Nigeria’s democratic and social development,” the NRN added.


In a direct appeal, the NRN urged Ezekwesili to provide a transparent and detailed response to the allegations, clarifying any involvement with Akpoti-Uduaghan and refuting the bribery claims. “Silence or evasion is unacceptable and will only deepen the erosion of her hard-earned integrity,” the statement read. The group stressed that Nigerians deserve full transparency from public figures who claim to represent their interests.



The NRN led by its spokesman, Agada Abuh Theo reaffirmed its commitment to upholding truth, justice, and accountability, calling on Ezekwesili to act swiftly to restore public confidence in her character. Failure to address the allegations comprehensively, the group warned, could irreparably damage her reputation and the broader struggle for ethical governance in Nigeria.
As of press time, Dr. Ezekwesili had not publicly responded to the allegations or the NRN’s statement. The controversy continues to spark debate across social and traditional media, with many Nigerians awaiting her response to the serious accusations.

She has been exposed. The manner they kept attacking tinubu just because his brother lost was so alarming. Nobody say you can't criticize a government but be constructive about it. They join some northerners to try and ridicule the government. Just look at thier evil plan. Tomorrow they will say yorubas are slave to northerners, who are now slaves. A former vice president of world bank and former minister of education could be used to carry out the lies against SP. What a pity on her side.

Anijay1212:
Omo see as wind don blow and fowl nyash don open. Dear senator Natasha, the day of reckoning is drawing closer.

Desperation for higher position has landed her in mess.

[quote author=happiness32 post=135209334][/quote]Igbos with love of money. Imagine Ezekwesili could descend so low to senator Natasha. A former vice president of world bank, also for minister of education. All thier evil plan has been revealed and more revelation are coming. Obi might be among those plotters.

PressMyButton:
But Obama was born in the US, there's no basis for comparison. It's funny that people like you that will not allow your fellow Nigerians hold a public office in your state, is here trying to rationalize a Mauritania. Can an Edo man become Governor in Anambra?.

You are going to far, just as them to make any igallas in anambra to be a local government chairman. They are the most toxic, wicked in Southern Nigeria.

ShinjaWWest:
Anyone Igbos support always end up in failure

Anyway God bless the good people of Southsouth and southwest

Honestly the truth. Make una run from their support oh cos they are cursed.

Coldie:
A word is enough for the wise.

People like u and gidgiddy should be able to see past your nose.

There’s an orchestrated plan to fuel bigotry against us in preparation for 2027. Apc and Yoruba ronu plan is bigotry. Stop falling for their traps.

We and benin people have never had any issue until Peter obi won Edo state in 2023, since then between then and now this is the third major issue we are having in a space of less than 2years. Last year it was the Amaka ekwo issue where she said they should certain things against benin people on TikTok, next came the oba of benin issue, now this igbanke issue.

Difference between me and the rest of you is I know how to see through these things why all of you always fall trap to it.

Right now am supporting Peter Obi, but there’s signs I will see I will tell the south east to overwhelmingly support Tinubu. But until then I will keep campaigning for Peter obi.

U guys should continue to fall trap to childish gimmicks by Yoruba ronu, I go continue to laugh una.

Yoruba ronu politics is very easy to emulate but una no just too get sense to see through them

So you mean Yoruba people tell that goat to insult oba of Benin. Na Benin's I blame sha, when they carry obi for head, some of us from other zone in the state told them how toxic igbos are. Today we are witnessing it. dem no born any igbo to insult otaru of auchi, their people wey dey there go suffer the consequences. During campaigns, you will see igbos insulting some Benin's face to face for supporting other candidates but non of them tried that nonsense in Edo north. We don't tolerate nonsense over there. We pay you back instantly anything you do.

Putindbutt:
Tell me any other person who can do that?. Tinubu publicly said without him, Buhari can never be President, that Buhari failed three times and cried on TV before he went to him and told him he would win the next election. Then Tinubu declared "it is my turn". Tell me any candidate who can do that to a sitting President and get away with it?. After that declaration, all the talks about anointing a candidate was thrown out and a rule was made that all candidates should contest on a level playing field.

You are correct. Nobody except Tinubu could say such and get away from it. The man is too bold. I pray his policies birthed a new and glorious Nigeria. I so much like his audacity and political sagacity. He prove to us that he can put people to their places. He demystify the northerners who are so greedy and power hungry. Natasha's leak chats and audio will further dent the image of north who some even went to use Natasha to get to Akpabio and intimately Tinubu. They go learn new lesson. He might handover in 2031 to a Christian northerner expecially north central to spite them. Now I understand after he was declared winner, Elumelu address him as the last man standing.

TheNobleProphet:
NOT true with all due respect!

The game changed for all Northerners when Tinubu "singlehandedly" and "openly" challenged Buhari because most of them including Buhari were "antagonistic" towards Tinubu and his mandate but they failed woefully.

That was what made most of them queue behind Tinubu after he won the presidential primary.

Don't mind that guy, ask him if El rufai delivered Kaduna delegates for tinubu. He supported ameachi so that he can deputize him. Tinubu manouer it's way to get the apc ticket and El rufai and co has no choice than to support tinubu instead of atiku become of thier ambition too.

Igirigimercenar:
North shame on you. You go dey form alliance with a Yoruba man just to spite an igbo man

You have been used and dumped. Yorubas will be the greatest undoing of the north. You see that northern holds on Nigeria, Yorubas are out to cut it off and deflate that egos of yours. Yorubas will make sure that your influence and powers in Nigeria are reduced to nothing. INEC chairman will come from the south south, let me see how north will decide the winner of the 2027 general election

Do you expect to form alliance with you toxic igbos that keep insulting them and killing them. They will still be the next president after tinubu cos Tinubu will handover to them and probably a south south will deputize. The way obi even ran is propaganda election in 2023, which core north will trust any igbos again. Only the yorubas can still have mercy on you people cos they tolerated you people in the past but they just prove to you people in 2023 electioneering campaign that they have what it takes to tame you people.

TallNigerian:
LOL. Women and short fuse/irrationality are like bread and butter.

Gradually, the truth is staring at them in the face and they are shamefully retracting their statements. Unfortunately, so many men in the world never get this opportunity to redeem their name after being falsely accused by serpents and Jezebels such as that one.

I really pity that woman's husband. But he is clearly a simp, a rich one unfortunately. Imaging marrying someone who sued you to court for reneging on your promise to marry her ab initio. That man go suffer.

Akpabio is no saint but this woman is foolish, dull and anything but smart. How did she become Senator sef? oh, I forgot, anybody with money (even better if you are a seductress) can be anything they wanna be in Nigeria.

Kogi people, behold your next Governor.......Senator. Mrs. Domitila

The most gullible set of people in all of these are the men (or people who call themselves men) actively supporting the Delilah blindly. Y'all are worst than simps.

Most men expecially on niaraland knew she might be lieing but because of hatred for tinubu and APC.

Putindbutt:
Ipob, keep consoling yourself, una dey collect wotowoto back to back.

Honestly ipob members are really not ok mentally this period. Supporters of evil. God chooses who will lead. What I know before is that after election loss, you study were you did bad and improve on it but obidients said nothing like that. Last last thier Mr saint may be involved among those who use Natasha to try and get at Akpabio and the ultimate target Tinubu. Very soon Nigerians will know the real saint a d devil's. I am loving it. I speak same language with Natasha even thou my tribe is part of edo state but our forefathers we're together will her tribe. I was defending her when the case arise but I think critically and I was convinced he was just lieing against Akpabio. Natasha is devlish. He is not contented. If you were removed from the juicy position, is she not still a senator. If not for friendly ties Akpabio has with her husband, how can a non Niger delta hold that crucial and vital position. Fowl yabsh dunn open. More terrible revelation is on the way. I just want to know, who are the promoters. She want to be either kogi state governor or minister of petroleum and embezzle like Diezani. Fear women.

ogaemma:
Akpabio is spending billions for damage control, the same way Tinubu is spending billions to stop the FBI to reopen his drug files.
In the end, the TRUTH will always prevail.

Igbo boy sorry oh. Una lies has been busted. We are getting close to more revelation and we will know those who pride themselves as saint but devlish.

Karlifate:
LMAO!

Una never see anything

Atiku, El-Rufai & their other gang members want to get Tinubu via Akpabio, but BAT is more shrewd & ruthless than them.


Una never see anything yet

The game never start

Now Tinubu will deal with them all. The knew things are gradually changing for the better but they keep gaslighting the government with propagandas of all magnitude. If I am tinubu, I will first of all shut down Arise tv immediately now. I keep telling my friend that Rufai and co are been bankrolled. The manner they trow tantrums on the government. You can't see that ugly fool commend the government in areas they tried. look at the manner obi and co were against the coastal road, simply that it will open alot of opportunities and create jobs and development. No south south opinion leader condemned it but obi took it upon himself. Their evil plan has been revealed and many more are coming.

RenaissanceGuy:
Natasha never said Akpabio attempted to rąpe her. It was a case of "He knows I'm arrried, but still asking me to date him". So I wonder what the Sandra lady and Regina are on about.
It's just a game of who can outwit the other through propaganda and bribery and hard lies.

Even with this obvious video and audio facts. You are still saying nonsense. You people have succeeded in killing the political rise of Natasha. Why is it that anybody you people support always fail. You people need deliverance.

lionshare:
It was clear to me from the start that her main grievance seems to stem from being removed from that juicy committee.

That was number one, oppositions knew it will be difficult to defeat tinubu in 2027. When they remove Akpabio, some northerners will mobilize others, expecially igbos lawmakers to vote a Northern SP and then impeached Tinubu. Arise tv has also been a platform they use for propaganda against the government. I trust Tinubu cos many head will roll. When you see the way that ugly Rufai talk, if you are smart, you will know he has been bankrolled. Natasha is finished cos Tinubu will make sure the police get down to the root with no interference. Ordinary two years out of power, the north can't bear.

Jestin:
All this stupid people always take Nigerians for granted. You increased salary with just 5k with this current economy right ? Ozuo

Tell us your state so that we can check if he has be paying the minimum wage.

ClearFlair:
God is with Peter Obi. I've never seen a person pull such a crowd in just a few months. Millions of votes without handing out money to anyone is astonishing. Nigeria has not seen his kind in a very long time.

The most amazing thing was how he united all tribes and pulled votes in every region. Even beating APC in their stronghold. Peter Obi is proof that citizens and not politicians will decide the future of Nigeria.

With propaganda, he has shown us that he is religious and tribal bigot. He will struggle to have half of the votes in 2027. Many Christian were decieved by obi about APC with Muslim Muslim ticket want to islamize Nigeria. Only in south east he will get huge votes with us inconsequential to determine him to be president.

Okoyiboz3:
Is Otti paying minimum wage to the specified category of workers. Yes or no?

We don't believe in nsobu politics of follow-follow. Ask the hard questions and stop this disgraceful behaviour.

don't mind them. Igbos obidients said he is the best governor in Nigeria and couldn't pay 70k. A rich state for that matter. Edo state governor that they hated for no reason, yesterday increased the minimum wage to 75k with a lot of workforce in the state government. Those cleaners who were on contract services under obaseki, my governor has now regularize them as government worker. Otti his just doing average cos nothing spectacular about him. Which signature project has he done or doing. Okpeboho is about to deliver the first flyover and an important one to checkmate the hold up along ikpoba hill axis. No be by cho cho cho but showing workings.

Penguin2:
Fergie001 I told you, didn’t I?

I told you that in the nearest future, stakeholders will start to impression on Atiku to shelve his ambition. Atiku might want to be stubborn at first but with time, when the voices become many and louder, he would have no choice but bulge.

Will that favour Obi? I can’t tell you yet.

You can call me a dreamer, but 2027 will not be as easy for Tinubu as you’ve been thinking.

Obi was also mentioned by the man to leave the stage for a better, younger and inspiring, full with ideas. The northerners might just draft Akuwunmi Adeshina the president of Africa development bank. He visited some northerners with political influence recently. If he contested, I will not only vote for him but work for him, under any party. He is far better than obi. Through his position, Nigeria had benefitted so much. He was an excellent minister under Jonathan.

Apcshit:


Atiku should be an elder statesman ans support the obedient movement and Peter obi

Which obidients and Peter obi. Hope you read what the man said. He says atiku, obi and tinubu should leave the stage for younger, vibrant and idealistic person. The northerners will not support Obi and that is clear. They don't even mentioned obi in their political trajection for 2027 election.

Vision101:
Yes ooo. Wike has proof of performance as governor but Obi has no proof of performance. You gerrit?

Ask him which office will he have implement it. He was governor for eight years, he didn't occur to him to visit Egypt.

saintkel:
The kind of hypocrisy in Nigeria stinks abeg....so Wike can go to China n brainstorm....but Obi going to Egypt is cluelessness?....

Why did obi not visit Egypt as governor. Visiting Egypt to consult without a office is the highest foolishness one can think of. How would he implement it when he is not the president.

dedonfranco:
Very funny.... Plz give VDM that 50 billion naira all villages in Nigeria will have water.

So in your mind, na borehole they will do. They will probably construct dams and lay pipe that will connect various houses.

yarimo:
Defect and lose your seat is only applicable to rivers state, according to Obidients, Falana and ugochinyere

The bunch of nusiance will turn blind now.

Whynotthetruth:
If he messed Anambra State up like you said and made them poorer...why are Anambra State people worshipping him till date and NOT other politicians from Anambra or elsewhere?

If you say anambra people worship him, let him deliver the labour party governorship candidate. We can show you numerous Anambaraians who insulted him before, expecially the ones in nairaland. You can't compare him with soludo.

Happy Workers Day, Nigeria!

nlfpmod, you like?

Has a governor, what did he achieved in agriculture. Talk is cheap.

Tochi3:


..Thief'nubu is not from Lagos..he is from Iragbiji from Odun state..



..the indigens of Lagos rejected Thief'nubu.before..& they will reject him again..the votes Thief'nubu snatched & grabbed Was due to violence & intimidations..with the magic of inec..

..his maladministration has shown that those who rejected gim did the right thing before..& they are desperately waiting to do it again..

Thief'nubu is a no no..

Obi's propaganda of apc muslim muslim ticket lead to fear of most Christians voters to vote against tinubu. In 2027, tinubu will win with more than 200k vote to his closest rival. Over 90 percent of yorubas voters who voted obi won't vote him again.
