Nigerians should hold Gov Òdodo, Yahaya Bello & SP Godswill Akpabio wholly responsible.”

Her warning comes a few hours after she vowed in a statement to go ahead with her scheduled visit to her constituency for the Eid-el-Fìtr break and the rally planned for her homecoming.

She also urged her supporters to disregard speculations making the round that she has cancelled her scheduled visit.

The embattled lawmaker stated that she has a statutory function in her capacity as the lawmaker representing her constituents.

She urged her supporters to troop out en masse to celebrate the Eid-el-Fitr with her.

On Monday, the Kogi State Government banned rallies and public gatherings in the state over ‘security reports’.

The government also stopped fishing and other activities, arguing that they recently resulted in the loss of two lives in Kasemiya, Katubo and Umozu Ette, all in Kogi Local Government Area in Kogi West.

The Commissioner for Information, Kingsley Fanwo said the move was to prevent any form of security breach that might destabilise the state.

Similarly, the Kogi Police Command warned Akpoti-Uduagan to cancel her planned Sallah rally.

Why do I say this?

1. His mismanagement of the economy and encouraging his appointees, through his silence, to blame it on his predecessor (PMB).
2. His meddling in the Lagos Assembly leadership tussle that resulted in returning a speaker that was validly removed.
3. His undemocratic removal of Rivers state governor and the elected reps there, just to ensure that Wike has the final say. He could, and should have allowed Fubara to be impeached if he could not mediate properly. That would have been democratic and heaven will not fall had Fubara been impeached.
4. The revelation that the NASS members were bribed to support his military-styled removal of a sitting governor - something he had vehemently condemned in the past!
5. His son's involvement in how the country is governed.

I can go on and on. He is becoming a tyrant and he may easily destroy what is left of our democracy.

He is another disappointment. Seems all of them are, sadly so.

Agbegbaorogboye:
This is patently false
You need to understand the basics of how democratic systems work

Agbegbaorogboye:
Which kind talk be dis
Is a resolution of both Houses what is required to amend the constitution?

All offices for administration of political entities are created by the constitution. None by an act of the assembly and I don't think the constitution gives the NASS the powers to create political offices.

Sole Administrator is unknown to our laws. Let's look at an hypothetical situation where both houses pass a resolution for the COAS to take over the reins of govt because the president is incapacitated, will it stand?

How Senate Approved Rivers Emergency Rule Without Getting Required Two-thirds Majority – Tambuwal Exposes

Former Governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has argued that the Senate did not meet the constitutional two-thirds majority required to approve President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s proclamation of a State of Emergency in Rivers State.
Naija News reports that the Senate, last Thursday, held a closed session to deliberate on the president’s proclamation and later approved it during plenary through a voice vote.

However, Tambuwal, who represents Sokoto South in the 10th Senate, disclosed to Sunday Sun that the necessary two-thirds majority—73 out of 109 senators—was not reached, thus violating Section 305 of the 1999 Constitution, as amended.

Tambuwal, who was present during the closed session deliberation, emphasized the constitutional requirements for declaring a state of emergency.

He stated, “Section 305 of the Constitution is very clear. It is unambiguous, the language is very plain, of the Constitution as to first, how the president can declare a state of emergency and what is required of the legislature, the two chambers – both the Senate and the House of Representatives before passing such a resolution.”

He further explained, “What is required is that you must obtain and have two-thirds of all the members, of either of the two chambers, in support of the resolution.”

Regarding the Senate’s approval, Tambuwal noted that he observed there were not enough senators present to meet the constitutional requirement.

“I don’t know whether members of your team, who are members of the press corps, had the privilege of checking the (Senate) register to see whether there were up to 72, 73 senators on the floor. From what I saw, there was no such number on the floor on that day,” he said.

He added, “So, if you juxtapose that to the requirement of the Constitution which says that the Senate must have two-thirds of its members… to pass that resolution, it means that what was done fell short of the provision of the Constitution.”

Tambuwal also pointed out that the National Assembly ignored its own precedents in approving the proclamation.

He highlighted previous instances of state-of-emergency declarations, such as during President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration and under President Goodluck Jonathan in 2013, when the required two-thirds majority was strictly adhered to.

“What stops the current National Assembly from making reference to its own precedents that are domiciled within its own library, within its own records? I can’t understand that. So, it’s part of the problem,” he added.

If that's the case then the pdp can choose not to recognise anyawu and nothing will happen cause it's the internal affairs of the pdp and no external party has any authority to interven.

Recently, a topic was moved to the front page of Nairaland, claiming that Anambra is the 5th largest oil-producing state in Nigeria. This information is entirely false.
https://www.nairaland.com/8374415/anambra-state-now-5th-oil

The source of this misinformation was a Twitter account named "IntelPoint," which has around 3,000 followers. The infographics shared by this account cited the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) as their source.

However, this is misleading.
According to the official NUPRC website, the latest annual report for 2023, which was released in 2024, clearly shows that Anambra is actually the 9th largest oil-producing state by output. In 2023, Anambra produced 3.9 million barrels of oil, placing it in the 8th position.

Here is the accurate ranking of oil-producing states in Nigeria based on the 2023 NUPRC report, listed in descending order of output:

1. Delta - 131 million barrels
2. Akwa Ibom - 80 million barrels
3. Bayelsa - 60 million barrels
4. Rivers - 56 million barrels
5. Ondo - 12 million barrels
6. Edo - 11 million barrels
7. Imo - 5 million barrels
8. Anambra - 3.9 million barrels
9. Abia - 2 million barrels
10. Lagos - 0 million barrels

For more details, you can refer to the official NUPRC 2023 Annual Report here.

It's crucial to verify information from reliable sources before believing or sharing it. Let's stay informed and help stop the spread of fake news.

Oh! So that’s the reason the government built a kennel and called it a school?

The state governor has never heard the word climatization ? You see why we need to stop electing illiterates who disguise as intellects.

tollyboy5:
So we should maintain substandard building design because this is not UK.

CoronaVirusPro:
Stop calling those buildings a school. By standards, it is certified multistory kennel.

CoronaVirusPro:
They be building kennels and calling it classrooms

Does the Governor see same kennels in the UK and US

Be building schools like animal husbandry

NEVER liked Tinubu but always thought he was a political SAVANT.

But declaring a SoE in Rivers was a BIG mistake.
It's downright RETTTARDED.

His base in the North has been FRACTURED.
S-Easterners HATE his guts.
He LOST Lagos and Osun state last time.

The S-Southerners were wishy-washy and supported anybody and everybody.

But his actions TODAY will succeed in UNITING the SS against him.

He's putting soldiers in the SECOND-LARGEST economy in Nigeria and the most POWERFUL and POPULOUS state in the South-South.

It's STUPID!

Especially when you consider the fact that Nigerian Soldiers are a bunch of INCOMPETENT and MALICIOUS ghouls with a hard-on for DEFENSELESS civilians.

They'll HARASS and KILL innocent people and the South-South will NEVER forget that.

Meantime, the SW stands ALONE.
The Yorubas have NO allies.

Tinubu is a MONUMENTAL disaster!

Urgent1Million:
It's not the first time there's been a pipeline explosion.
There wasn't any investigation as to the possible cause of the explosion.
The president just assumed that it was an act of sabotage.
Really?
Do you really think it's the best way to handle it?

AS E BE SO NA CIVIL WAR DON START SO OOOO CAUSE CREEK BOYZ AND DOKUBO DON BEGIN BURN DOWN EVERYWHERE SO OOOO

Urgent1Million:
It has been the plan all along.
They just needed a reason.
They thought Fubara would've delayed in accepting the supreme court judgement that was why the Assembly gave him the 48 hours ultimatum. When they realized that plan failed, the assembly adjourned indefinitely and they paid boys to blow up pipelines so they can blame Fubara.
It's a well written script. I just wonder the kind of incriminating documents of Tinubu that are in Wike's possession that would make Tinubu play Wike's cards like this.
This can only be the work of a heavy political blackmail.

FreeSpirited:
Tinubu is so predictable.... All of these because of 2027..Behaving like a military dictator. Abeg are we in Military regime?
What a crooked, corrupt, despotic, subversive old man. Tinubu you may not die well at this rate.. Since you decide to destroy all our democratic institutions
