johntolu: Power remains in the South till 2031unless Tinubu is 'taken out', before 2024. A President of South South extraction might be President if BAT is not on the ballot in 2024.
Is there a presidential election in 2024 and why South South?
PureFace1: With all the anti people policies so far that seem not to be ending anytime soon, Tinubu have no chance for second term even if he want to rig, i don't see how he can easily pull it off.
If Tinubu beat Atiku again then it is 100% rig, with all the policies that seem not to give a fvck about Nigerians survival there's no way in hell he is going to win even South west won't vote for him.
People are going to vote for Atiku not because he is going to turn things around or because he is better than Tinubu, they are going to vote for Atiku because Tinubu just put Nigerians through so much suffering and they can't just bare to vote for him again, 2027 is for Atiku as long as he play his card right.
As much as I despise Tinubu for his cluelessness, I would rather vote him than vote for a northerner. What the hell are you guys thinking? Does this country belong to the north?
Antoeni: Why is The Nigeria Police Not keeping Him With Them Still That 25th September ? He SHOULD Remain in Custody, Useless Senseless Irresponsible NLC President
When they keep Ajaero and silence him, silence every opposition in the country, then there won't be anyone to speak for you when they come for you. Think about it.
RenaissanceGuy: All over the world, people vote with sentiments, so Nigeria is not the only place. The same way some voted Obi out of tribal sentiments was also how some others voted for Tinubu or Atiku out of tribal sentiments. And Blacks in America do the same, and so do white. So spare us all these repetitive jargons of whether Obi is learning lessons or not.
Spare me that bullshit please, many guys in your camp knew and still know that Obi is the best but would rather vote anything but him just to teach him and his 'aggressive' supporters a lesson. Obi is learning his lessons effectively 😂😂😂
Abeg, make nobody dey wait FG ooo. Make dem better organise local vigilante if they NPF no dey listen to their pleas.
Organize local vigilante and arm them with what? Dane guns I suppose? The governors with the current security arrangement where the president holds the sole power to direct and enforce can do nothing. Give governors some real powers over their state security and then we can ask where are the governors. When even an ordinary DPO doesn't have regard for the state governor, what do you expect?
Hoebeedients will definitely love this sad news. Watch them flood the comments
The seeds of hate in them germinate with inbuilt fertilizer.
Just type RIP and move on if you don't have any reasonable thing to say, you're being too petty for an adult.
What have the Obidients got to do with this really sad news coming out from a country where the president cares only about himself and his cronies.
Are you ashamed that the president you support cares more about his private jet than the lives of the ordinary Nigerian? Until Nigeria happens to you, you won't know the Obidients aren't your problem.
Not sure all these explanations are necessary, Okupe has moved over to the other camp, he should stop disturbing our peace. Contrary to what some other people think, you Okupe didn't betray Obi, you gave your best to his campaign but you have left him now to pursue your interest, that's life and nobody can hold it against you. All I ask is that you give it a rest, you don't owe anyone any explanation.
yarimo: the party issue statement on rude invitation by RUFAI
Ok, let him ignore Rufai and Abati and present himself before Okinbaloye, Uzono, Okikiolu, and Maupe Ogun-Yusuf of Channels or Nkoli and Adaora of AIT.
yarimo: is speaking to other media outlet among criteria for someone to contest for an election in Nigeria constitutionally?
How are Edolites and Nigerians in general supposed to know if he's competent for the job he seeks if he doesn't speak with the media? Okpebholo is hiding because he doesn't have what it takes.
yarimo: Is granting interview to Aries TV among criteria for someone to contest in and election in Nigeria constitution? Just asking
How are people supposed to guage the mental and intellectual capacity of the candidates to be able to make informed decisions? It's not about Arise TV, there are other outlets he can speak to: Channels, TVC, AIT and a host of others.
This question has become necessary given the refusal of Edo State APC to allow Monday Okpebholo their candidate engage the media on his plans for the state. Is it because of the claim that he's very poor at spoken English or because he has nothing to offer.
Trump and Harris are going to debate on Fox News in a few days/weeks but here, APC hide their candidates from debates and other media engagements.
How do we know the intellectual capacity of Monday Okpebholo if he doesn't speak to us?
mohbadliveson: Rufai Oseni, His Gang Of Sinuous Fawns Can’t Force Okpebholo To Attend Interview On Arise TV – Afegbua
Prince Kassim Afegbua is the Director of Media, Edo APC Campaign Organisation. In this interview with TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI, he speaks on allegations that the party's governorship candidate, Monday Okpebholo has shunned several invitations to grant interview on Arise Television. He also shares his thoughts on developments in Edo state ahead of the September 21 governorship election. Excerpts:
There are talks on social media that your candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo has refused several invitation by Arise Television for an interview while the governorship candidate of the PDP, Asue Ighodalo appeared on the TV station on Monday. What is your reaction to that?
We are professionals in this game. Do you invite a governorship candidate to come for an interview when you are interviewing his opponent? Rufai Oseni was interviewing Asue Ighodalo and he said to him 'Tell the APC candidate to come here for interview oo. We are waiting for him'. Is that the procedure in journalism? If you want to invite a candidate for appearance on your TV programme, you will now be telling the candidate you are interviewing to tell his opponent to come for interview?. When you have professional quacks having opportunity of a platform to ventilate their partisan posture, you don't glamourise them by honouring their invitation. They already have a bias mind and they have taken a position which is antithetical to journalistic practice. We all went to journalism school and we are gifted differently. Some have platforms which they want to use to 'begin to shine' so to speak. However, journalism must be journalism and there are ethics that must be adhered to. If you want to invite our candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo for a discussion, you don't take a partisan position and you want us to expose him to that kind of interview. At any rate, our candidate has been busy campaigning all over the state. We needed to cover 192 wards. Don't forget that the #EndBadGovernance protest took away 10 days from our schedule. So, we need to cover a lot of grounds for those days lost. Those who are banking on state power in Edo and are planning to manipulate the election can sit down at home and not campaign. On our part, we are campaigning everyday. At times, we close as late as 9pm before we return to our homes. So, if Rufai Oseni and his gang of sinuous fawns who are behaving like members of Jacobian scandal club of post-independence America are the ones who think they can decide the future of Edo, he will be making a big mistake.We are going to campaign in places where they don't even have electricity to watch Arise television. The people can't even boast of owning a television because Obaseki has killed the political economy of Edo state.
So, what has your candidate been telling the people of Edo so far?
You saw the kind of visuals all over the place as a result of the bad governance that Obaseki has foisted on the people. Everywhere we have bad roads, bad health centres, bad schools and all. You don't need to come to Edo to see all these things. They are all over the internet. There is flooding and erosion and nothing has been done. When you have such a government that is dominated by MOUs without fulfilling campaign promises, you need to prevail on the people to come out en masse to vote for the APC and our candidate. Our candidate has been raising serious issues during the campaign. He has promised to give interest-free loans to market women. He said he will fix those markets that got burnt in Edo state, particularly in Benin which Obaseki abandoned. Obaseki promised to build the markets but uptill now, he has refused to build. All the roads he constructed, after two years have become pothole-infested roads. Rather than focus on governance, he is busy quarelling with everyone in Edo. He is quarelling with the Oba of Benin. He withheld the artefacts of the monarchy, demolished the Central Hospital to build his own museum. Hospitals that were built by Adams Oshiomhole he has taken it over and handed them over to his friends as consultants. General hospitals in Edo are a complete eyesore as we speak and here is a man who claimed he is finishing strong. So, what are they going to tell the electorates in Edo? When you ask them questions on what they have achieved in the last eight years, you see them blabbing. As we speak, Edo is owing N570 billion and it is number two in the states with the highest debt profile. He is also owing $153 million, which is additional N200 million. In total, Edo is owing almost N800 million under Obaseki's leadership at a time when the allocation of Edo has increased. In one year of Tinubu's government, we have gotten over N270 billion, in terms of their IGR which is N64.7 billion; 13 percent derivation which is N22.3 billion; FAAC allocation N184 billion; N10 billion security support and N7 billion palliatives. Even it has gotten to a point that when they get support from the federal government, they hide them. The 20 trucks of rice that they got, they went and hide them. Their plan was to rebag the rice the rice to bear the logo of Edo state government. Dangote brought 30,000 bags of rice but they hid them and never let anybody know about it. The federal government also brought several trucks of fertilisers but yet, farmers have not seen one grain of fertilisers. They think it is by blackmailing us with Arise Television that will make Edo people vote for them. They are making a big mistake. https://thescrutinyng.com/2024/08/28/rufai-oseni-his-sinuous-fawns-cant-force-okpebholo-to-attend-inteview-on-arise-tv-afegbua/
Ok, if he won't appear before Rufai Oseni and Arise TV, he should appear before Seun Okinbaloye or Geoffrey Uzono and Channels or even The AIT Kakaaki crew.
I have listened to Asue Ighodalo and Olumide Akpata speak and discuss their agenda and plans for the state, Monday Okpebolo should also speak. You guys can't hide him they way you hid Buhari and Tinubu who turned out to be failures.
Typical of Omockery, very childish and petty. Does he have any other job other follow Obi around, monitor what he does and doesn't do?
He slowpoke should rather worry that South East governors, Tinubu and his security agencies have allowed a non state actor steal the initiative from them.
Shame on Omockery, shame on all that delight in his foolishness.
Steeze? Is that what Sunday service ought to be? Do we go to church to show class, style and wealth? How about going to worship God I'm truth and in spirit?
Sincerely, I don't care how one comes to church, whether by jet or on leg, I care more about worship of God.
I do not know anyone who has said that the Yoruba is the cause of all Nigeria's problems, perhaps that's what you think yourself. You guys should stop creating silly posts here.
Buccalcavity2: Instead of the deflection, lets condemn what is bad. Political choice is individual rights. Make your choice and let others make Thiers. CJN's son can choose who he likes just like Toyin Abraham should not be vilified for her choice. Whether her choice favors you or not!
Of course political choice is individual, I don't know why Oba Rilwan Akiolu, Remi Tinubu, MC Oluomo and many others don't understand that. I don't know why they had to physically assault the Obidient woman for choice. Can you tell me please?
Shikena: Truly hillarious lol. Nothing wrong with that though. Family is family and his political choice is his right. Na overzealous Obidients too mumu to understand that basic tenet of democracy with their past attacks on people not sold on their saviour.
You guys come online and post lies hoping for them to become truth. Some Obidients may have acted unruly but you Batists are the worst of it. Don't we all know how it started? How you guys made a caricature of Peter Obi immediately he left PDP and picked up LP ticket? How you guys described his supporters as 4 people tweeting in a room, how he was never gonna win one ward even in his Anambra, how he was never gonna get up to 200 supporters in Kaduna.
Have we forgotten Sam Omotsaye and his Obituary story soon after Peter Obi emerged LP candidate? Have we forgotten how Tinubu kept talking about Obi in his campaign rallies instead of speaking to issues about governance?
You guys are terribly good at lies and you always hope that nobody picks the lies to debunk them.
malali: At least he has come out to address it, this shows his concern for the state workers who are eager to know his stance. Some state governors pretend like they did not hear the news that 70k is the new wage
I really don't care about the expression of willingness to pay, because I know these men aren't stable, their words aren't their bonds. I'll only take them seriously and perhaps clap like some are already doing here when they actually implement the law.
While it's true that Tinubu changed Egbetokun's life certain things, however, are better left unsaid. Given the very sensitive nature of the office of the IGP, Egbetokun should be careful not to be seen to be serving Tinubu as a way of reciprocation and not Nigeria.
In sane and mature democracies, holders of such offices carry themselves in a manner that don't betray their political leaning and interest.
Having said that, it's very clear that Nigerians aren't safe with Mr Egbetokun because his allegiance is not to Nigeria but to Tinubu and so he ought to resign from that office.
Ikumapkayi: So, you support a Bishop who calls young people out to protest knowingly fully well it will turn violent. Many of you and all these naysayers will eat your words when things get better in this country. Tough times don't last but tough people do.
Where did they Cardinal ask youth to protest? Why are you people so mischievous? Come to think of it, what's wrong with protest?
DevilsEqual: This isnt the point. The lady failed at the Olympics and Obi had no words of encouragement for her
That Igob-USA girl isnt the only Nigerian born athlete to win a medal for another country. Obi didnt say anything about Yemisi
The fact that the center of his epistles have two Igbo athlete and nothing for others shows the kinda person he is and that was Reno's point
I wonder how u all couldnt get his point
Why wouldnt Obi congratulate Tobi earlier in the year ? Everybody celebrates a winner but why Favour Ofili this time? not like she won a medal
Why not Tobi this time? cause she also didnt win a medal
Lets be logical please. This isnt a market square
Who did Peter Obi mention in that post which you guys are ranting about? Favour Ofili and the Nneka. Why did he pick them out for special mention? That's what your retarded brain can't comprehend.
Reno's arrogance makes him think he knows all and knows better than all. The longer his posts and claims go without challenge, the more he thinks he knows. Challenge him with facts, counter his false claims with superior arguments and he blocks you.
If not that many of us don't want to give him the relevance he so craves, we would have taken him on all the lies he posts as facts.
