Sonofgod1990:They warned him now. |
rapheal5:Ma fi lo mi mo moje. Ohun ti akata ba nje ni o nfi lo egbere. It means it takes a scammer to know another scammer. I saw his post and what he said was touching. Check all my past posts and comments I am not like that. Owo mi ma re o fun fun nene. Count me out of fraud. |
Primafacie:So he should accept what he did not say. You just try anything illegal. |
We go declare a state of emergency on any state where that rubbish takes place |
Sonofgod1990:You don minit? |
Jorussia:It will be done ✅ |

Agbegbaorogboye:When my time comes, you will see me in glory. Hallelujah |
SENATOR SERIAKE DICKSON GIVES DETAILED UPDATE ON WHAT TRANSPIRED TODAY; Today at the sitting of the Senate, the issue of the President’s proclamation of a state of emergency in Rivers State came up for discussion and as I have stated repeatedly, I raised my objections in the closed session on how the declaration fell short of constitutional prescription, based on my view as a Democrat, sworn to uphold the Nigerian constitution. The Senate did not undertake the debate in an open session however, it was quite robust. I want to thank Sen. Aminu Waziri Tambuwal for his strong support of the unconstitutionality of the declaration, especially the aspect that deals with the suspension of the elected officials of the Rivers State government. At the end of the day, majority of the senators supported the proclamation as no room was given for an open debate at plenary. I left the plenary before the Senate President was directed to report the outcome because I didn’t want to be present while what I opposed is being reported. I believe Senator Tambuwal, Senator Abaribe and others equally left too. I want to make it clear that as I stated repeatedly, I spoke and voted against the proclamation in our closed session, supported by Senator Aminu Tambuwal and a few other senators who were not recognized to speak. And so I want to thank all the senators who shared the view that I vigorously canvassed. I am however aware of the efforts made to modify the declaration as a result of the concerns and views we have expressed and canvassed the past few days. Though I acknowledge the effort being made by the leadership and President to moderate the terms of the declaration and to create a mechanism for oversight, theoretically this does not counter the primary issue of constitutionality. The beauty of democracy is such that the minority will have their say while the majority their way. I would have wished for a more robust and open debate so that all views and opinions can be openly canvassed as I requested even at the closed session specifically and thereafter, the majority can have their way but as it is, both chambers have decided and the ball is now on the court of the other arms of government, especially the judiciary, in the event of any challenge. My attention has also been drawn to a viral video showing parts of the unfortunate exchanges between the Senate President and I before we desolved to the closed session. As I said on the floor, the Senate President was very unfair to me by trying to censor my freedom of expression and by deliberately misrepresenting the import of what I said in the broadcast yesterday which was the same thing I said on the floor today. It is my opposition in principle to the declaration of a state of emergency, as well as the suspension of elected officials. I thank all those who have called to commend my composure under unnecessary and unexpected attempt at intimidation. Everyone, including the Senate President, knows I have long gone beyond that stage in my life. The Senate as I said is a meeting of equals and everyone should be respected just as we accord respect to the Chair. No senator needs the permission of the senate president to express an opinion in an interview on a topical matter of national interest that is in the public domain. I intend to meet the Senate President to formally express my displeasure, to prevent a reoccurrence. I thank my constituents, Nigerians and all people of goodwill who have called to express solidarity and urge them not to be dismayed at the direction our democracy appears to have taken. For someone like me who has been in trenches over the years, all these challenges are actually a call to duty and I therefore implore all people of goodwill to come together and ensure that participatory democracy is promoted in our country. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Rivers State. |
Justnation:You are wrong. Where did I boast of election rigging? All I am telling you is that, you should stop threatening us about 2017 election and when the time comes it will be sorted out. By then you go know say Ashiwaju is not your mate when it comes to politics. You just wait and see |

PRESIDENT TINUBU SALUTES NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR PATRIOTIC STAND ON RIVERS STATE EMERGENCY PROCLAMATION President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday lauded the National Assembly for its decisive and patriotic ratification of the State of Emergency proclamation in Rivers State, a critical step to restoring stability after a protracted political crisis that paralysed governance in the state and endangered national economic security for over 15 months. The President specifically commended the National Assembly's leadership—Senate President Godswill Obot Akpabio , House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas, other principal officers and members—for prioritising the security and welfare of Rivers State people above partisan interests and other considerations. He further acknowledged the lawmakers' diligent review of classified security briefings, underscoring the urgent need for intervention to prevent further escalation. "The crisis in Rivers State was at a perilous tipping point, threatening the security of vital oil and gas installations and undermining the national economy and the significant progress we have made in the reforms initiated since our administration commenced in May 2023," President Tinubu remarked. "As I detailed in my address to the nation on 18 March, the near-total collapse of governance, threats to federal economic assets, and the risk of widespread violence left no room for hesitation. This emergency measure is a lifeline to safeguard livelihoods, secure critical infrastructure, and restore democratic accountability." The President affirmed that the six-month emergency will empower the newly-appointed Sole Administrator to stabilise Rivers State, address systemic breakdowns, and facilitate dialogue among conflicting parties. President Tinubu also reaffirmed his administration's commitment to deepening collaboration with the National Assembly to advance peace, economic resilience, and equitable development across Nigeria. "Today's decision exemplifies what our nation can achieve when unity of purpose and patriotism guide the action of leaders. We remain steadfast in pursuing a safer, more prosperous Nigeria—one where every citizen's potential is safeguarded and nurtured," he said. The President thanked all Nigerians for their understanding and urged all stakeholders to support the restoration of peace in Rivers State.

[quote author=nasoeb post=134635401]It is all clear that to Nigerians that the president has NO constitutional rights to suspend an elected governor/ house of assembly members. But the president has gone ahead to do it and damn the voice of the people. It is also a common knowledge that most of these lawmakers realized that the President's action is completely wrong but still went ahead to vote in support of it because of their SELFISH INTEREST to re-contest for the next election and not have their party frown against them. But we the citizens need to show these politicians that they SHOULD BE AFRAID OF US INSTEAD. We need to start punishing every politician representing us and shortchanging us for their selfish gains My constituency is Bonny/Degema constituency. And my representatives are Senator Ipalibo Banigo and Hon Cyril Hart. I voted for you both. But you have shown your selfishness. COME NEXT ELECTION, I VOW TO VOTE AGAINST YOU.[/quote There were Senators and Representatives from the PDP, Labour Party, and NNPP. None of them walked out. None of these opposition Legislators complained that the process of securing a two-thirds majority was not transparent, free and fair. None of them challenged the result of the voice vote. So, if you think the National Assembly got it wrong, then you should name the Senators and Representatives whose voices were not heard. If you can't do that, then rant your piece and grant us our peace. |
While el-Rufai was giving a press conference inciting Nigerians against their lawfully constituted government and condemning the Rivers Emergency Declaration, his own son was at the House of Representatives and did not challenge the declaration. He cannot get his son to do his dirty work, so it is you here on social media that he has come to incite, because your life and future do not mean as much to him as his son's life and future. |
