Politics › Re: Northern Politicians Afraid Of Tinubu's Second Term Restructuring. by Ofunaofu: 7:30am On May 13

WizardOfNG:
You and your co-travellers are just unprogressive nuisances. Look at what is shown below and you will note that it is the template Tinubu is following holistically.

No Government has fought to deliver full local Government autonomy as Tinubu has done.

We have regional development commissions for every geopolitical bloc of Nigeria today and something your SE has begged several Government for with Tinubu now being the President to oblige.

Regional development commissions, run well, can be arbiters of regional autonomy.

There is so much more that is real and factual towards restructuring of Nigeria Tinubu has done and I am always taken aback to note how unprincipled you lot are with your dishonesty and denial of korokoro truth because I will never deny facts and reality against even my worst enemy.

That is what being principled and upright is about and I personally feel I owe it to myself to be that always rather than be lying shamelessly against others I don't like.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/punchng.com/swest-govs-propose-six-regions-demand-lg-autonomy-resource-control/%3famp

You clearly don’t understand what restructuring means, and that’s the irony here.

There is no local government autonomy in Nigeria today, what exists on paper is financial autonomy, and even that has not been meaningfully implemented in practice because governors still have enormous control of the entire LGA funds

As for regional commissions, how exactly is that restructuring? Nigeria already had the Niger Delta Development Commission and the North East Development Commission long before Tinubu became president. Nobody called those “restructuring” then.

So because Tinubu created a South East commission, suddenly it has become restructuring? That logic is as confused as your argument.

Restructuring means devolving powers from the centre to the regions/states, policing, resource control, fiscal federalism, constitutional autonomy, not creating more federal agencies controlled from Abuja.

You wrote plenty of grammar, but very little political understanding.

Politics › Nyesom Wike’s Closed-door Meeting With APC Chairman Hangs Siminalayi Fubara’s Fa by Ofunaofu(op): 7:54pm On May 12

Nyesom Wike’s closed-door meeting with APC Chairman hangs Siminalayi Fubara’s fate

Political tensions in Rivers State have intensified following a high-profile visit by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe, in Abuja.

The meeting, held on Tuesday at the APC chairman’s residence, has sparked widespread speculation across Nigeria’s political landscape, particularly because of its timing and the ongoing crisis involving Rivers State politics.

According to Daily Post, observers believe it may be connected to the escalating political struggle in Rivers State, where Governor Siminalayi Fubara is currently facing mounting pressure.

Recent developments suggest renewed friction between Fubara and his predecessor, Wike, as loyalists of the governor allegedly suffered setbacks during a recent screening process for the Rivers State House of Assembly.

Reports indicate that several aspirants aligned with Fubara were disqualified, fueling fears of a broader political strategy aimed at weakening his influence.

The situation has also raised concerns about Fubara’s political future, with speculations circulating that he could face obstacles in securing a platform for re-election under the APC structure.

Wike, who is a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) but serves in President Bola Tinubu’s cabinet, has previously made strong remarks suggesting that Fubara’s return to power is unlikely.

Political analysts suggest that the latest meeting with the APC leadership could signal deeper realignments ahead of future elections in Rivers State.

However, neither Wike nor the APC chairman has issued an official statement clarifying the purpose or outcome of the discussion.

As the political atmosphere in Rivers continues to heat up, stakeholders are watching closely to see how the power struggle between Wike and Fubara will ultimately shape the state’s political direction.

Politics › 2027: Atiku Rejects Presidential Ticket Zoning To South, Says It Will Hand Tinub by Ofunaofu(op): 2:12pm On May 12

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has cautioned opposition political actors against zoning the 2027 presidential ticket to the South, warning that such a move could ultimately hand President Bola Tinubu an easy path to re-election.

In a statement issued by his camp, Atiku argued that presenting another southern candidate against a sitting southern president lacks political strategy and has no historical precedent in Nigeria’s democratic experience.

According to the statement, opposition parties must focus on building a formidable coalition capable of defeating the incumbent rather than making what it described as sentimental or symbolic decisions.

Naija News reports that Atiku’s camp questioned the viability of a southern opposition candidate unseating a southern incumbent president.

“At the core of the question is: how does a Southern opposition candidate realistically unseat a sitting Southern president?” the statement read.

“Nigerian political history offers no precedent for such an outcome. To insist otherwise is to enter the contest already defeated.”

The statement suggested that if the opposition insists on zoning the presidency to the South, it may as well allow Tinubu seek another term without fielding a rival candidate from the same region.

According to Atiku’s camp, the strategy lacks the political strength and national appeal required to dislodge an incumbent president.

The former vice president’s camp also criticised proponents of southern zoning, describing the agitation as “intellectually dishonest” and disconnected from present political realities.

“Defeating an incumbent president requires realism, not romanticism; strategy, not sentiment; honesty, not selective memory,” the statement added.

It further urged opposition leaders to decide whether their priority was making symbolic political statements or genuinely winning power in 2027.

The statement stressed that opposition politics should be guided by electoral calculations and national coalition-building rather than emotional considerations.

On the issue of fairness and power rotation, Atiku’s camp argued that the South would have spent more years in power than the North by 2027.

According to the statement, the South would have occupied the presidency for 18 years, while the North would have held power for only 10 years within the same democratic period.

“It becomes difficult to understand the justice in an argument that seeks to deepen an already existing imbalance under the guise of equity,” the statement noted.

The camp also accused some advocates of southern zoning of selective memory, recalling that many of them supported former President Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential bid in 2011 despite widespread expectations that power should return to the North at the time.

“It is intellectually dishonest for those who supported a Southern presidency in 2011 to now posture as custodians of rotational justice,” the statement said.

While acknowledging the Southeast’s legitimate ambition to produce Nigeria’s president, Atiku’s camp criticised what it termed “transactional political bargaining” and “symbolic tokenism.”

The statement warned against arrangements allegedly designed to satisfy individual political ambitions without establishing a credible and sustainable pathway for the region to attain power.

“Principles do not become sacred only when they align with personal ambition,” the statement concluded.

It urged opposition parties and stakeholders to focus on building a broad-based national alliance capable of defeating Tinubu at the polls instead of becoming entangled in divisive zoning debates ahead of the 2027 general election.

This is the same way they praised him for appointing Christopher Musa as Minister of Defence after the same man was removed for incompetence as Chief of Defence Staff by the very same Tinubu

Crime › Abba Anas Adamu Laushi Kidnapped, Killed On Kaduna-Abuja Highway After Ransom by Ofunaofu(op): 2:09am On May 12

Abba Anas Adamu Laushi, a governorship aspirant of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Jigawa state, has been killed by kidnappers after a ransom was reportedly paid for his release.

Laushi was abducted along the Kaduna-Abuja highway last Friday while travelling to purchase his nomination form for the governorship election.

The former lawmaker was said to have been kidnapped alongside another person after which the abductors demanded N75 million as ransom. The second victim reportedly escaped from captivity.

However, Laushi was allegedly killed by the kidnappers after the ransom had been paid. His remains have been transported to Kano for burial.

Laushi was a former member of the House of Representatives where he represented the Birniwa/Guri/Kirikasamma Federal Constituency of Jigawa state between 2007 and 2011.

Before his death, he was seeking the governorship ticket of the ADC in Jigawa state

Politics › I’ll Work With Obi, Anyone That Emerges As Ndc’s Presidential Candidate - Kwankw by Ofunaofu(op): 9:59pm On May 11

I’ll work with Obi, anyone that emerges as NDC’s presidential candidate — Kwankwaso

Former presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, has declared his readiness to support Peter Obi or any other presidential candidate produced by the Nigeria Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections, insisting that the party’s decision would be supreme.

Kwankwaso, who recently aligned with the opposition coalition in the NDC alongside former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, said the party had already agreed to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to Southern Nigeria for a single four-year term.

The former Kano governor appeared on Arise TV PrimeTime programme and confirmed that the decision was reached after consultations with party leaders and stakeholders across the country.

“If the party decides that I will be anybody’s running mate from the South, I am ready”, he affirmed.

“Right from day one, we sat down together and we looked at the situation on the ground in the country and we decided to take a major decision, including zoning the presidency to the South for four years and after that, the Presidency will return to the North”, he added.

Kwankwaso added that many northern politicians who joined the party accepted the arrangement because they believed it was the best way to address long-standing political tensions over power rotation.

“We believe that the best place to take it is to the South so that we can eliminate the confusion that emanated from the death of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua. What is key now is not the Presidency from the North or South, but rather to have quality leadership, people who are enthusiastic, determined and committed to give the country the leadership it deserves,” he said.

Kwankwaso revealed that he and Obi had already held discussions on tackling insecurity, particularly in Northern Nigeria.

“Peter Obi and I have discussed a lot of ways we can tackle insecurity. I have worked together with people across board and I am sure of my capacity.”

Kwankwaso also hinted at a possible future alliance with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar despite their political differences.

“We might still work together before election days. We had to leave because of issues that are very detrimental. So, we are not fighting anybody,” he stated.

The former Kano governor argued that the 2027 election would largely be driven by young Nigerians seeking a new direction for the country.

“The fact remains that so many things have changed in this country but we have to realize that it is the turn of youth.I remember my daughter told me to work with Obi in 2023,” Kwankwaso added.

According to him, both the Obidient Movement and the Kwankwasiyya movement share similar ideals and could work effectively together.

“The Kwankwasiyya are disciplined and positive, so are the Obidients,” he said.

Kwankwaso also criticised governors across the country, claiming many were depending heavily on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for political survival ahead of 2027.

“Our governors have made so much mistakes. I can tell you that all the governors are relying on Bola Ahmed Tinubu to win elections,” he said.

“Things have changed. Northerners no longer want rice or chicken like the other party does.”

Politics › Supreme Court Will Disqualify Jonathan From Contesting 2027 Presidency – Keyamo by Ofunaofu(op): 7:52am On May 11

The Supreme Court will most likely disqualify him - Festus Keyamo speaks on Goodluck Jonathan’s reported presidential ambition

The Supreme Court will most likely disqualify him - Festus Keyamo speaks on Goodluck Jonathan?s reported presidential ambition Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Olorogun Festus Keyamo, SAN, has declared that former President Goodluck Jonathan remains constitutionally barred from seeking the presidency.

Keyamo, who spoke in an interview on Sunday, May 10, insisted that the former president’s reported presidential ambition was headed for a dead end in court.

The minister referenced the factional crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, pointing out that Jonathan’s reported association with the Turaki Umar faction, a faction he argued has no legal standing to field candidates, compounded what he described as an already hopeless constitutional situation for the former president.

“Jonathan is not constitutionally eligible to run it is as simple as that. The Supreme Court will most likely disqualify him. And I think he knows because they are dangling the ticket of the PDP that does not exist in law before him, the Turaki-led PDP that cannot field candidates. That is double tragedy for him. But I think they just want to participate in an academic exercise,” he said.

Jonathan served two oaths of office, completing the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s term from 2010 to 2011, then winning a full term from 2011 to 2015, a tenure profile that legal analysts have long argued renders him ineligible for another presidential run under the two-term limit enshrined in the 1999 Constitution.

As the 2027 general election approaches, one of the most commonly used phrases among Nigerians, especially voters...is “Vote wisely.”

Yet, the phrase is often misconstrued as an attack on a particular candidate. In fact, many Tinubu/APC supporters seem to interpret it as a direct jab at Tinubu, reacting hysterically and launching venomous verbal attacks at anyone who says it.

Ironically, if “Vote wisely” sounds offensive to someone, perhaps they should ask themselves why

It is on record that Tinubu was the first politician in the Fourth Republic to create a faction within his own political party.

When he could not hijack the party Alliance for Democracy (AD) from its original owners, he created a faction and eventually decamped to form the Action Congress. (AC)

Ironically, many of today’s “Mandate standers” are unaware of this history , perhaps because they were toddlers then, or not yet born. Instead of reading history, they prefer the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway propaganda machine that portrays Tinubu as the man who built Lagos from scratch and personally tamed the Atlantic Ocean
