You are even a bigger clown. That is what the pdp counsel even said not inec. Go back and read their interview again before talking rubbish

Okpebholo1:
Did you read what I said at all that inec said they need to prepare a schedule and involve all parties?

APC members never tried to stop the inspection. They got Intel that obaseki was planning to send people to attack inec office and they simply went there to keep vigil...don't say what you don't know...even your LP has removed themselves

but u can't afford a reasonable drink urself except ur friend buys you a cheap drink . Drunkard has been active in Politics since 1998 and his projects are still there intact since the days of him serving as our Obioakpor chairman whereas many myopic minds calling Wike names can't even boast of a reasonable project from there respective States or reasonable achievements in there lives .

membranus:
Did you take time to read the attachments to his rejoinder before coming to your own "jaundiced" opinion and bigotry tirade?

SmartPolician:
Aba Branch is the name of a popular motor park in Ehime Mbano in Imo State. These ne'er-do-wells have sworn to turn Imo State into a battlefield for their SENSELESS Biafra secession. No gainfully employed young person takes up arm to fight for or join this SENSELESS struggle.

Ironsi already abrogated the resources of all the regions to the centre, thereby ending the regional autonomy. It is called unification decree for a reason. Gowon acted on what was on ground already.

"It was the decree that started the death of regionalism....General Gowon further compounded it by promulgating the Decree 14 of 1967 which broke Nigeria into 12 states and provided military governors for each state. With decrees 34, 8 and 14 regionalism was finally buried"

So, trying to pander to the feelings of your host or so is dishonest. When you have taken all the resources to the centre, what remains?

Aguiyi Ironsi abolished regionalism and resource control...Gowon, out of necessity due to Ojukwu's rebellion, further buried it by breaking it up into 12 states.

APC won clean and clearly

Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has lashed out at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike over his recent outbursts on the just concluded local government election in the state.


DAILY POST reports that Wike had in an interview on Channels TV on Tuesday expressed resentment on the move by the Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara to conduct the Saturday election despite a court judgement.

Recall that Justice Peter Lifu of the Federal High Court in Abuja had in a judgement declared that the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission, RSIEC, violated requisite provisions by not publishing the mandatory 90 days notice before fixing the date for the election.


The court barred the Independent National Electoral Commission from releasing the voter register to RSIEC for the conduct of the election.

Justice Lifu also barred the Inspector General of Police and the Department of State Service, DSS, from providing security for the polls.

The judgment followed the suit brought before the judge by the state chapter of APC, faulting RSIEC’s move to fix October 5 for the polls.


But the election was held on Saturday as directed by Governor Fubara.

The governor’s loyalists who contested the chairmanship positions under the platform of the Action Peoples Party, APP, won in 22 out of the 23 LGAs in the state.

The state has recorded a series of violent clashes between supporters of Wike and Fubara during and after the poll.


On Monday, arsonists alleged to be Wike’s supporters set the Ikwerre Local Government secretariat ablaze.

There were gunshots in some other secretariats following moves by some political thugs to prevent the newly elected council bosses from gaining access to their offices.

Wike, in his first public reaction to the controversies, accused Fubara of derailing Nigerian democracy by refusing to obey the court judgement.


The former governor also alleged that Fubara’s move to remove the Speaker of the House of Assembly, Hon. Martin Amaewhule triggered the unending crisis.

However, in a swift response, PDP in the state urged the Minister and his supporters to seek redress in court if they were not okay with the election.

In an exclusive interview with DAILY POST, Sydney Gbara, the PDP publicity secretary in Rivers State wondered why those who were eagerly agitating for the election were now against it.

He said, “We are aware that no court judgement can stop an electoral process. What we know is that if you are not okay with an election, you can approach the court after it is conducted. So they should go to court.

“Let me take Nigerians back, conducting the local government election was one of the items on the presidential peace proclamation made by President Bola Tinubu in 2023. They (Wike and his supporters) have been willing to see the election conducted.


“At one point they even instructed the assembly that if Fubara refuses to conduct the election, he should be impeached. It is now surprising that when the RSIEC drew out the timetable for the election, they are now doing everything possible to stop it.

“This is where the conversation should start from and not whether there was a court judgement or not.

“In fact, it got to a point where the assembly elongated the tenure of the previous LG Chairmen and that was the first of its kind in the history of Nigerian democracy. Now the governor said he is ready for the election and the same people are now speaking from the other side of their mouths, saying the election should not be held.


“Where has Governor Fubara gone wrong? The Supreme Court has given judgement prohibiting caretaker committees and said every state should have elected LG Chairmen and they have a time frame of 90 days or else the state will not get allocation.

“Governor Fubara is just being obedient to the Supreme Court judgment. Anyone who wants to truncate the process does not mean well for Rivers people.”

Sydney Gbara described Fubara as a hero, stressing that “he will continue to be our hero for standing firm to ensure that democracy stands in Rivers State.

“Innocent people were killed in cold blood all in a bid to frustrate the electoral process. The truth is that they came late because Rivers People have decided to move on with Fubara.”

maasoap:
You can call yourself the leader of the party in your state but the question is, who are party members following?

Softmirror:
Some how, Tinubu has been able to bring life back into the LGA.

jmoore:
So an airline operator can go into dangote refinery to buy aviation fuel?

If that's the case, why can't anyone go into dangote refinery and buy I truck of petrol?

Were the airlines importing the aviation fuel by themselves?

Is there a label on the product to distinguish imported from made in Nigeria?

vanbonattel:
A man that is worth at least 10 million votes across Nigeria as at today.

God bless Peter Obi

helinues:
Pdp was doing just fine until Peter Obi joined

First, GEJ loss

Then Atiku

Then the scattering of the party before the 2023 election

He moved to LP, another rounds of confusion already started.

Should we say Peter Obi is a bad omen?

EreluRoz:
Nigeria's problem is very big, these marketers are actually the ones killing the country.
If Obi hadn't read it's ugly head by causing big distraction in the last presidential election we won't be where we are today.

If you all want to remove asiwaju let a strong northerner come out and Obi should deputize him, that's the only out else asiwaju remains your president for eight years.
