Jobless for 7 years in a foreign land? Who has been paying his bills?

you should know that he has been doing menial jobs then. This is official job. He might have even built a house in Nigeria in 7 years of staying in UK. That is the power of hard currency over naira.

Zionmdde:
Very good their names are there in the public

Rivers people should do what they wish with these names
If they choose to fold their hands and watch 26 slaves ruin their state, then no problem too.

Where are does people who said the Ijaw lawmakers have ported to Fubara's camp. Ten of them from Ijaw extraction, supported the impeachment notice. Wike knows the Ijaws are with him. Why will they continue to host Wike. Fubara just allowed bitter and failed people to kill his governorship. Only God can save him and I honestly pray so. Let nobody should ever accept or listen to those people. They are bunch of failures. When Edo central people used to behave like them in politics, they suffered and they couldn't produce governor but when they retrace their footsteps, they are enjoying the office now and Okpeboho is an action governor who will not neglect his people. Shun nzogbu nzogbu politics and ways of life.

Sugarboyy:
The way they were making mouth, those that were supporting Fubara and claiming Rivers residents, you would think those 27 HOA members don't reside in Rivers State anymore.
They know where these guys has been holding their sittings, why haven't they gone to chased them out of Rivers State? Their own Na to come online and beat chest.
Minus Fubara, Rivers State Ship 🚢 will still sail

You should know they are nzogbu nzogbu people na. Fubara just took advice from mad men. They are about to destroyed him. Fubara was so stupid to think that he can influence rivers court against Wike boys but forgot the supreme Court is the final judgement to the case of decamping. Truly he is a baby politician. Igbos Obidients are mute now. Zombie people. Amen sure my Benin people should know them by now and keep a long distance. We in Edo north don't fall easily. Even with their useless top to bottom approach, they didn't win the least office in 2023 in Edo north, that is the state assembly. We no dey follow crowd and sentiment. Many Edo north leaders fought Oshiomole who is the ultimate leader for now, against supporting the current deputy governor of Edo state. We listen to the revered royal majesty Oba of Benin who said, the governorship should be zoned to Edo central but abure the national chairman of labour party still went ahead to give the ticket to a Benin man. If most Apc leaders has supported Oshiomole by giving the ticket to the current deputy, he would has still win, cos with the popularity of the deputy governor and the determination of political leaders in Apc and some in pdp to stop asuen who Obaseki backed, Apc would have even scored more votes. Edo central has the least voting strength.

Fiscus105:
Hope you know the pipeline that take crude oil that Tinubu is using to manage Nigeria, pass through the backyard of these boys? And that Tinubu boys can't be everywhere pipes pass?


5 mins is too long to destroy a pipe.

I'm very sure, you are still a kid during the time of Yar'Adua, if not you will understand what I'm saying.

if he his impeached, nothing will happen. Do you know how many prominent Ijaws behind Wike. Did they not host him just last week. Asari will be dealt with, if he try nonsense. Tompolo will act has nothing is happening.

discusant:
See brainwashing by an Agbadorian. You thought you were talking to Beati. Beati is the legendary lady who accepts anything told her.
Tinubu merely wants Wike in control of Rivers State by 2027 so that Wike can once again do the fraud of election rigging in Rivers state for Tinubu, as Wike did in 2023.
Tinubu compensated Wike for fraud by appointing Wike from PDP as FCT minister.

keep decieving yourself cos you hate the truth. Where you people not urging Fubara to ignore the peaceful resolution reached in the villa in the presence of rivers elders. You igbos are about to end Fubara's governorship. It's a political war between a godfather and a godson. Wisdom is profitable. Why Fubara want to represent the budget, because he knows the implications but the Wike boys are determined to destroy him just like how Fubara would have also destroyed them if he has gotten victory.

Sugarboyy:
Do you think Fubara would have soft peddled towards Wike, the 27 HOA members and Wike's supporters in Rivers State if the supreme court judgement had been in his favour?
In politics, you don't pity your enemies, you crush them when you have the power to.

thou I want peace but you are right cos if Fubara has won at the supreme Court, Igbo Obidients will urge Fubara to even killed the lawmakers not even chasing them from rivers. Now that it backfired, they are saying Tinubu has hand in it. Did they not tell Fubara not to listen to Tinubu about representing the budget. Truly the saying that what elders sit and see, a child climbing a tree will not see it. That is the case of Tinubu and Fubara. Nzogbu nzogbu people are about to end the political journey of Fubara. Only God can rescue him. If you think there will be war if Fubara is impeached, you are decieving yourself. Law is law. Fubara just fumbled in all this. Abeg igbos pls anytime I am contesting election, pls insult me oh cos if you do, then my chances of winning is so high. Make Una no support me oh, bikko.

Godblessme1:
Ijaw political leaders are so weak. Like Jonathan like fubara

Dey no born that person well to try this in Edo State.

Useless oshomole wanted to try this to my esan people lol he felt something great more than him

Shut up your mouth, if not for the likes of Ize iyamu, Jarret tenebe the Apc chairman in Edo state and others prominent Benin and Edo north leaders, Oshiomole would have given the ticket to the current deputy governor who is more popular and outspoken. Una wey be like igbos, always crying like kids. Is Oshiomole not still incharge now. Oshiomole's factor contributed about fifty percent to Okpeboho victory and that is why he can't do without Oshiomole. Who is the commissioner of health, who do you think nominated the chief of staff, Gani Audu from eskako. Go and thank firstly the great Oba of Benin who has been saying the governorship should be zoned to esan. Abure the labour party chairman from esan too, supported olumide akpata a Benin man after collecting money against his fellow esan brothers in the race. Noise maker. The illegal removal of council chairmen by Okpeboho was not his making cos Oshiomole and co has finger in it but just uses the governor to hatch their job.

Jorussia:
I don't support This impeachment Journey by Wike and his co travellers.Wike doesn't have forgiven spirit and he can't last long as a godfather in politics.I am surprised he is serving under the govt of the most successful
godfather in our political history and he hasn't learnt this trait from him.Wike should put his emotions under control.This impeachment is simply unnecessary.He has successfully demystify the governor and the governor is going to be a lame duck till 2027.

A governor that has no control at all over the house of assembly,is a lame duck governor. Fubara is defeated already and I don't see the need for this impeachment to over heat the polity.I am from Edo State and this is one of the problem I have with my brothers from core Niger Delta states,they drink ogogoro and start doing gra gra.I love wikes dedication to service of the nation,but on this his impeachment journey,he should calm down, everything nor be by gra gra.You don show fubara say u get level pass am,wetin u want again?

Wike should have stop at the supreme Court victory. No need for impeachment. He should have waited till 2027 to boot him out if he thinks he can. Where are the useless elders in rivers state now. They all took side differently due to their personal benefits.

Seefinish:
Tinubu and Supreme court want to set fire on Nigeria Delta but unfortunately this fire will consume Tinubu's 2027 political ambition and Wike
We are watching

keep quiet, Tinubu has no fault in all this drama happening in rivers. That how you people in east always blame others for your woes. It is a political fight between Wike and Fubara. Cry victim mentality.

LagosOrigin:
That's above the entire budget of Ogun and Osun states combined

Chei

Also the entire budget of south east states.

Rutherford2019:
Fubara is as weak as Jonathan
Just raise 5k youths in each LGA of the state, arm those youths and name the them name like Operation Restore Order,give commissioner of police 1B naira, place few policemen on monthly stipend.
Both Wike and the Assembly guys will never step foot on Rivers state until he finish his 8yrs

You think is easy. Wike has federal might and the commissioner of police can't work with Fubara except he want his career to be over and also suffer huge loss. Hope you saw how they dealt with Obaseki last year. They changed the commissioner of police and his replacement immediately suspended Obasek's vigilante group who he has positioned to be his political thug on election day. Fubara fought too early and it turn out against him. He just need wisdom cos the assembly members want him to be at fault and carry out impeachment.

Only God knows who is lieing among the two arm of government. Let them continue the back and forth since they don't care about rivers people who choose or were they imposed on them.

He just nailed it. Igbos will really be hurt. If El Rufai was an appointed minister, he will not have castigate Tinubu but it was is selfish interest now.

Skooltynz:
But he won 12 States in the last election with the strategy na?

how many did he win in the north. Expecially core north.

Desperate bigot who try to use religious sentiment and propaganda to enter aso rock. Same Muslims, he told the Christians and further called one of the famous pastor to informed him about the religious war. If he like, he should be sleeping mosques, he will still not be supported by the northerners. Yes daddy crooner.

LagosOrigin:
Peter Obi man

This man like Peter Obi so much that he supported his presidential election with his full chest and made all his followers to support him whole heartedly

A tribalist like Obi, why will he not support him. I like the way he is now humbled. He town his puppit to labour party arm.

004gist:


Tinubu has sent him. It's a game plan.

Obi should move into PDP becomes the presidential candidate while Atiku blessed him. Look for a younger and smart candidate to be a vice president.

Who will give Obi the ticket in pdp. Someone than ran before primaries. You igbos always look for free things.

phransix2:
The President should call the gladiators to order. They are heating up the polity already, the peace in that region is important and can not be over emphasized. If Rivers boils the whole South South boils and you know what that means to our economy.

If Wike feels the Governor he brought in isn't dancing to his tune again why not wait for the next election and you pull the plug since you said without you he is nothing. Practice politics like a gentleman.

People of Rivers you guys have a part to play in all of this, you don't need to sit on the fence or be two faced, pick your stand and make the world know.

There is no longer need cos if Fubara had listen to the peaceful resolution brokered by the president, he won't have find himself in this political tight corner. The assembly members are now tossing him around like ball cos they know they are at advantage. He allowed nzogbu nzogbu ways to derail himself. There is no were in the constitution that said a decampee loses is sit. He approached rivers court and get judgement against the assembly members but forgot it will be challenged to the supreme Court for clarification. Supreme Court did the right thing but as usual, cry victim mentality zombies want the supreme to say otherwise. Same supreme Court affirm his election as governor and they were good then but now that it favoured their now enemies side, they are calling the court all manners of name.

masterflowx:
Imagine Tinubu supporters hailing wikéd Wike because of his mumu behaviors.
I wish opposition could come together and form a formidable front to challenge Tinubu in 2027.
because I don't want to see wikéd Wike at the corridor of power beyond 2027.

What will be said of you igbos that aslick Wike for good seven and half years until he dumped Obi for Tinubu and you people begin to show your witchcraftness. Tinubu tried to bring peaceful resolution but same Fubara who listen to failures decided not to honour the now bone of contention, representing the budget. Haven't lost which many of us knows what will be the outcome in supreme Court, he now want peace because he knew the implications of he continued to listen to crisispreneurs and bitter and emotional people. Let there be peace in rivers.

ivandragon:
The Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road is not a bad project, but there are too many unanswered questions about it...

1. Why the absence of competitive bidding for such a massive project?

2. Where are the necessary assessment reports that would have clearly defined the route and environmental impact of the project?

3. Why award the project to Hitech? A company with dubious affiliation to Abacha and a close confidante to bat, with ST even having majority shares in one of the sub-companies under Hitech.

4. Last year, the Minister of Works condemned Julius Berger for wanting to do a project at about N2.5b per kilometre, but has no qualms awarding the coastal highway at N4b per kilometre. Why the double standards?

5. The FG has quietly released over N1trn for the first phase of about 47.7 kilometres. That is over N22bn per kilometre. How much of its own funds has Hitech expended on the project?

6. Akure-Ado Road is less than 60km and awarded to 2 contractors. Lokoja-Abuja, less than 100km, awarded to 2 contractors. Other roads less than 50km are being awarded to two different companies to start from different ends. So why was a 700km Road awarded to one company?

Is not every project they bid for cos president and governors can choose the contractors they like to use, expecially a very important and complex projects. Stop the hate and bitterness cos we are in the season of lent.

UgoFly:
If he is really concerned about the prosperity of Nigeria, then he should hand over to Osibanjo or PO. At what age does he want to contest for the next election? Is it fair that a man of his age will rule the most populous black nation in the world for 8 years?!! The cost of bread rose from 500 in 2023 to 2,500. I can't even eat bread now! Breaaaaadddd!!!! One mudu of garri rose from 300 to 1,500. Drinking garri is now for the high and mighty! Gaaarrrrrriiiii!!!! Dangote is struggling to make fuel cheap but evil transporters are still increasing fares because of high cost of import duties from this government. When will a man buy car?!!!!! How will a marry train children in this economy?!! All the girls are entering prostitution to survive!!! Churches are filled with men and women asking for financial breakthrough without salvation!!!! What we need right now is Nigeria breakthrough ooo. Pastors are prophesying visa approval for Nigerians?!!!! Visa approval and foreign citizenship is now a great miracle!!!!! Ewooooooooooooo. Who go epp us ooooo

Obi had nothing to offer. He couldn't build a general hospital in Onitsha south. In Edo, Oshiomole transformed all general hospitals in the state. All LGA has. Osibanjo is far ahead of Obi a million times. Obi who struggled to even read physiology.

Urgent1Million:
I really feel for Reno Omokri.
Dude has hustles so much that Tinubu should have noticed him and given him one small appointment even if it's special assistant on market affairs to Seyi Tinubu's housemaid.
But Tinubu has continued to ignore him due to extreme trust issues.
I have no doubt that Reno will soon insult his own parents just to have access to a piece of bread.
I just hope depression will not get hold of Reno in addition to the hunger that's dealing with him.

Meanwhile, it's a pity how Reno ended up describing himself in an attempt to take a jab at El-Rufai.

I don't expect your region to love him cos he has really exposed the hypocrisy of Obi and others.

RevDesm0ndJuju:
That's why you can't see beyond your nose.


It's apparently glaring that a merger won't work for the simple reason there are too many over ambitious candidates out there not to make it work


Obi in LP (that's if Abure doesn't mess him up

Atiku is still shopping for an SPV knowing very well that Wike will never see to Atiku ever getting the PDP ticket .

Then there's Kwankwaso and his own movement in the NW.

Add Amaechi who contested the APC Presidential ticket and came second after Tinubu .


Do you guys think such an over ambitious bunch can ever come together in a merger ?


Their over ambition will not allow for such and will be the reason that the scenario of 2023 is repeated for the sole benefit of Tinubu.

Leave them, it is already a walkover for Tinubu. Those you mentioned are desperate power seeking politicians. Pdp and labour party chieftains and elected representatives have been moving to Apc unlike in 2014 where five serving governors and numerous federal and state lawmakers defecting to the newly formed Apc. Failure is waiting for them. Ameachi that has been rendered useless by Wike in rivers is the one to be the SDP presidential candidate.

Giftimoni:
Gbam

When the time comes the master strategist will deployed arsenal to him. El rufai will still fail. Tinubu is not Jonathan.

kmst:
Tinubu the master strategist had planned
A. Distabilize the opposition parties
B. Outrightly rigg and damn the consequences

El rufai being smart as he is has seen this long ago but waited until the hunger resonates among the northern masses to strike.
In my humble opinion, he isn't agrieved with that ministerial job Fgs he has been a minister and a Gov, instead he sees an opportunity far ahead - 2031 beyond...the time for the Northern presidency.
Perhaps he worked so well for tinubu in 2023, Tinubu to some extent was impressed but confused at the same time...why would El rufai all of a sudden fight so hard for him? as such never trusted El rufai, the rest that happened is history.
El rufai's plans to become a kingmaker in north seemingly passing away slowly with Tinubu not giving him recognition. His relevance simply going into oblivion.
He lost his patience waiting on Tinubu's reward for his fight 2023.

He knows tinubu's game and has outlined a counter attack at it quite well...
Since Tinubu wants to cripple opposition and distract them with so much noise, keeping them endlessly working on trivial matters until election day...why not turn the table around?
But how can he do that while in Apc... impossible.
He would be dealt with as an individual right before the plan matures infact he is obviously not in the grand scheme of things anymore.
Not that they don't need him, they do but intend to use his shadow just like buhari whom they use to decieve the north to remain quite but disown daily. Reason why? Tinubu doesn't accommodate those with wings around, they must bend the knee entirely.

He has to decamp but to where?
There's heat in all opposition parties but SDP's problems seem negligible, why? Tinubu hasn't considered SDP to be of any relevance yet.

The grand plan...break Apc from inside by pulling away with as many as possible, this means Tinubu now has work to do... remobilize and fix the Apc in the north.
But let's ask ourselves, is this the best time to look for disciples in the North? With so much hunger and anger in the North? Hell no, Tinubu should be relying on defenders in the North right now not new disciples...that task is a lot harder to complete, and cannot be completed before the deed against him is done already.
In other words... Tinubu now has work to do abeit a harder work than the opposition, completely keeping him busy with calculations within his own party as well as the opposition parties while distracting him from gaining any positives regarding economy-The end result, more hunger and anger among the masses for which he will simply act as an amplifier to every inch in the north.
Wonder why the TikTok account?
Don't forget, you may hate El rufai but the Muslim north see him as one of the most intelligent currently, he has their ears even to the inconsequential aboki on the street in the north.
Busy presidency scouting the north for replacements in capacity close to elections? All will not be well.

El rufai knows even a coalition can't win against a united APC with the current machinery in place in the north.
The machinery is his target, break it? Destroy it? Walk away with any vital components? Whatever he can get away with gives the opposition "Call a friend" card.
What's in for him? 2031!
His relevance will still be preserved should the opposition win even if he's not on the ballot.
Tinubu wins- he's a gonner afterall!

Buhari ofcourse sits on the sidelines... "He's not aware" his supporters, El rufai's target as well, besides Buhari won't mind, it's a fight against a Yoruba man fullstop.
Who else in the north? Ganduje?

In other words - El rufai saw the marking scheme of the assignment Tinubu has given the opposition the decided to add more complexity to the assignment, then turns the table around.
APC has seen the assignment and it's quite difficult that's why they're not sleeping anymore.
They thought the north was in the bag or at least a handful.
They where trying to focus on the SS but El rufai has now taken them back to think about the North again. Surely they will loose focus trying to keep the fire down while the opposition regroups to unite.

SDP is not his destination, it's a vehicle to arrive at his destination at least for now and the bargaining chip for him in hand.
He has no common vision with the opposition of Atiku or Obi, they need him and he needs them to stay relevant at the moment.
If El rufai isn't able to cripple Apc in the north, at least he amputates one limb and that limb won't be thrown away...it goes to SDP then Opposition coalition.


2023, P.O was a taboo in the core north, Atiku did well but not enough against a Northern APC machinery against him. This time around P.O will be branded an angel in the north...mind you...they are already singing and Atiku simply gains heavier weight with El rufai removing some of the roadblocks ApC placed for him giving him the machinery to use.
This means two things:
1. The gap APC has in the north is closed
2. SS becomes the decider...wonder the unrest there esp Rivers?

Nb: SE is constant "C" in the quadratic equation
SW: inconsequential...votes will cancel at worst negligible difference
NC: Negligible difference...

Coalition is the deal in 2027, a merger will fail cos of traps Tinubu has set in PDP and LP, wicked wike and his gang of estate loving supreme court judges will do the magic.

One term for P.O two terms for North?

Alot will be unveiled going forward
Keep your fingers crossed!

You just said nonsense. Which know political forces left Apc with him. Babachair Lawal that has not win is local government to any party he support. Ameachi is no longer relevant in Apc, Wike is there to checkmate him anytime. What influence do some former ministers under Buhari have. If you think the north will support Obi presidency then you are really not politically sound. El rufai will prefer Ameachi to Obi cos they see igbos has not stable. Where will Atiku features. 2014 can't be replicated again. Which serving governors and senators will decamped to SDP from Apc. We have seen many and house of rep members leaving pdp and labour to Apc. Time wasting on their side. Tinubu is not Jonathan.

Abaki5:
With this your kind of thinking Nigeria is far from getting better
You hold someone on the ground, you also is on the ground too
Continue time is coming when you shall celebrate with ndi Igbo by God grace

If you have lost one of your family members to his stupidity through ipob, would you have been talking this rubbish. He will be charged to court and sentenced to serve has warning to others. Don't you know the numbers of casualties and properties destroyed. If not his boys were resisted in Lagos, the cow wanted to destroy Lagos. Same Tinubu he woved to kill and destroy his family and properties, fools like you were in support then but you now want him to release him. Abaribe is one of the worst senator but he knows election is fast coming, he needed to do like he his supporting kanu to get reelected. Why did he not protest like this since 2023. Kanu will surely pay for his sins.

Cherrybae:
This man knows how to press the ipob / Obedient mumu button.

He is doing all this cos of 2027 to secure sympathy votes for standing by Kanu.

He has been in the senate since leaving as Deputy Governor.

No single projects traced to his name in his constituency

Only to press ipob mumu button and he will be re_elected.

Watch how the dumb and daft ipob will hail him here.

Ndi iberibe

Exactly cos he knows he have many dullards in his zone. Why did he not started this immediately he won election in 2023.

Sobalim:
Abaribe the man with iron balls

He doesn't have any balls, election is fast approaching and due to his non performance, he want to ride on sentiment to get reelected again. He knows most of his people in the senatorial district are not informed.

Armaggedon:
Awolowo and Abiola said so too. We know how they ended.

did Abiola not won even when hatred by your forefathers. It was only in south east that he lost. Apc has won all three consecutive elections without the south east vote and they will do it again.

Armaggedon:
Onitsha general hospital is not a public hospital?
Do you think the promotion of soludo by Tinubu supporters will make Anambra people vote for Tinubu?

Tinubu don't even need the south east support to win again. He knows were is votes will comes from and he has started strategizing about it. Bitterness don't make you to differentiate between Onitsha south and Onitsha north.
