You need to watch the video and listen to every word he says. I'll provide a summary.

Derecognition

Governor Wike removes Sir Celestine Omehia's picture and signs the order. He thanks the Speaker of the House of Assembly and his colleagues.

He says that he received the resolution of the House the previous day and he reminds everybody that his predecessor, His Excellency Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi did not recognise Omehia as a former governor. He then says that when he came on board, the House of Assembly decided that Celestine Omehia should enjoy the status of a former governor. He says that he has never disrespected the resolutions of the House of Assembly and so he complied.

He said that the Assembly said (the previous day) that they now have better facts. He says that the facts are that the Supreme Court ruled that Sir Celestine Omehia was never governor of Rivers State because he never stood for any election.

He said that the Assembly decided to protect its legacy by doing the right thing. He said that in this country people will praise you when you do what they like, but they won't praise you when you do the uncommon thing. He said that many people will bring in politics, but he doesn't mind. He said that the hallmark of leadership is correcting a wrong thing that was done.

He said that he called the attorney general of the state when he got the resolution and the attorney general said that the House of Assembly had no power to overrule the Supreme Court and declare Omehia a former governor.

He said that he saw on AIT that they said that Omehia was his ally, but now he is a member of PDP Presidential Campaign Council. He asks what has that got to do with the House of Assembly doing the right thing.

He said that if this had not happened, nobody would have known that such a huge amount of benefit was paid to the former governor. He said that he was sure that they had said that no benefit was paid, but yesterday everybody discovered that the benefits were actually paid.

He said that he doesn't give a damn about what anybody says because in politics anybody can say anything.


Political rallies in public schools

He also announces that political parties would not be allowed to have their rallies in public schools without approval of the commissioner of education. He says that there are often fights and violence at political rallies and that they could destroy school property and therefore he is taking this measure to protect the schools. He said that he would be blamed if school property was destroyed and he wants to prevent that.

He says that you have to apply 2 weeks ahead of any rally in a school and you must pay 2 million naira in case anything is destroyed. He said that government will not pay for any repairs and therefore the party must pay for the repairs. He said that the order applies to all political parties.

He also said that any local government chairman or commissioner can stop any rally that doesn't have permission.

He said that no rally will be held while school is in session.

Madman from Ogoni

He said that people can say anything and that people are always insulting them on the radio. He said that a madman from Ogoni said that they were embarrassing Rivers people. He threatened that he could go to construction site to see if the contractors were working, but if he does so people will say that it is because the man is not with him.

billionman:
Direct monetization of Twitter

Omahleigh:
An edit button will take away the credibility of twitter

ahnie:
The internet is learning to forget
No sordid past to nail anybody again with.

Buddha3:
So Twitter is billing users to be able to have access to the "edit" option and people are brainwashed enough to actually be paying real money just to use an app service?

If a Nigerian app was to be behind this madness, Western societies would have been quick to scandalise the person(s) involved and gone as far as terming it fraudulent.

This is insane and first hand robbery!

jaxxy:
how does the edit button help if it also distorts or hides the truth which is necessary for twitter to thrive?

the edit button should have limits or trails.

There are other ways to make money of twitter.

kingxsamz:
This ruins all the fun tbh.
What makes Twitter better is the fact that you can't take back what you said unless you delete it. And even if you delete it, the post would still be seen by others for some time before it becomes available.
Not a great update at all.

Twitter Blue is a version of Twitter in which users pay a monthly fee for extra benefits (premium services). It has existed since June last year. The edit function, which was released a few days ago, is only available to users of Twitter Blue.


You can still see the original version of the tweet (after editing) by clicking on the message at the bottom of the tweet.

The first screenshot below (This is an edited tweet) is of an edited tweet, while the second screenshot shows what you'll see when you click the pencil icon. The tweet that says, "This is not an edited tweet" is the original tweet and you can still see it if you click the pencil icon.

Twitter’s edit button is rolling out in the US for paying subscribers

The long-awaited edit button was introduced in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand on Monday, and now it’s coming to the US

Twitter’s edit button is finally arriving in the US. The company will begin gradually rolling out the long-awaited feature to Twitter Blue subscribers in the US on Thursday afternoon, Twitter spokesperson Joseph Nuñez said in an email to The Verge. Lucky subscribers in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand have had the ability to edit their typos since Monday, and now it’s coming to the US.

I’ve already seen a bunch of edited tweets on my timeline. The key has been to look for a little pencil icon on tweets in your feed or in tweets themselves. If you want to see an edit history, click on a tweet and then on the pencil. Tweets can be edited up to five times and only 30 minutes after someone has posted the tweet.

Once the ability to edit a tweet has rolled out to you, you’ll be able to find it in the Labs section of the app that’s available to Twitter Blue subscribers, which costs $4.99 per month. Some tweets can’t be edited, like replies, retweets, and polls. You can see the full list of what can’t be changed as well as read more details about the edit feature in a Twitter support document. The feature is still in testing, so some aspects could change down the line.

Twitter first announced it was really, actually, for real working on an edit button on April 1st, meaning nobody actually believed the company until the feature was officially revealed a few days later. I personally still thought it might all be some elaborate ruse, but here we are. Fingers crossed Elon Musk keeps the edit button around if he ends up actually acquiring the company, though everything with that situation is still pretty messy.

Here's an example from my timeline. The first screenshot shows the edited tweet. The second screenshot shows what you see when you check the original tweet. The third screenshot shows the reactions.

Nyne:
Are igbos going to tell me that Abiola was not competent in 1993, hence his lost ?

Why did he lose in all eastern states in 1993 ?

The result is as shown below;



Waiting responses.

Please note: You all know how Abiola looked back then . He was physically fit, he was 55 during the election. So what happened?

Wow! You mean, Anambra is no longer in the East?

More reactions.
