Governor Hope Uzodinma, who has been making clandestine moves to abandon his post before his tenure expires in January 2028 to chase a Senate seat and possibly the Senate presidency, now finds himself in a fix, or at best will be forced to abandon the plan outright.

yarimo:
ATIKU should just decamp to NDC immediately, someone somewhere must participate in primary election

You are a 🤡

When you see people dragging Peter Obi for no clear reason, just know, it’s rarely about him. It’s jealousy, anger, and ethnic bigotry showing.

I just don’t know why I laugh every time Bola Tinubu is suddenly “meeting global investors” whenever he’s in France for medical tourism.

Is it because it has become a camouflage routine?


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

DomPerignon:
Laws that Giringori influenced their passage :

1. Movement of huge cash amounts outside digitalized financial networks.

This law was passed because politicians like Giringori were found out conveying cash that was embezzled from public coffers.

2. The latest electoral amendments were influenced to check the rascality of people like Giringori who dumped a party after showing intentions to contest for a political position but having lost out ran to another.

I believe this my proposal should also be considered by the legislative and included in the Electoral act to stop people like Giringori desecrating the electoral process.

Are you proposing it here on Nairaland

You should be going to the national assembly DomPerignon

We appreciate your efforts and wish you well

madridguy:
Obi should be serious for a while and stop parroting around like a baby. Others people met the same man and they didn't go around with vuvuzela.

I was expecting pictures of Mr. Rick Swart with Tinubu....are they unavailable?

This must surely be the fictitious and faceless Mazi Isiguzoro ohaneze ndi Igbo

WizardOfNG:
What is this one talking about? Umahi signing is symbolic. Don't you get that?.

What is symbolic about signing the presidential reelection form of a notorious catastrophe

What happens after the audit......

I’m not sure SERAP has secured judgments in its favor in all the cases it has filed against government agencies, yet here it is being slammed with N100 million for defamation.

Tinubu have become so incapacitated to the extent that he can't sign his form

We are in trouble if this man is allow to rule us for another four years o

keemsleek:
And that will be the end of his political career. 3 term is ok for him. Let give women the chance to rule.

Either way, it's the end of his political career

But he shouldn't leave without a fight

He got nothing to lose

Desmond Elliott, will be so welcome to NDC

We wish her well in her future endeavors

The news must be coming from Upper Iweka fake news outlet. Continue

You and I both know so well that the Lagos–Ibadan expressway media is notoriously a well-known fake news propaganda machine

A former Rivers State Commissioner for Works, Alabo Dakorinama George Kelly, has been endorsed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, as his preferred candidate for the Rivers State governorship.


George is expected to contest the seat under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), signaling a crucial political move ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Sources told DAILY POST that Wike settled for George after a closed-door meeting with key political stakeholders in Port Harcourt on Monday. The meeting reportedly reviewed the political situation in the state and strategies for consolidating influence ahead of the next election cycle.


At the meeting were ex-militant leaders, including Asari Dokubo and Ateke Tom.

Our source said their attendance underscored the high-level consultations that preceded the endorsement.


George, a seasoned political figure in Rivers State, previously served as Commissioner for Works and is considered a loyalist within Wike’s political structure.

The source who witnessed the meeting said the development was part of efforts to maintain Wike’s political dominance in the state despite his current role at the federal level.

This comes against the backdrop of a protracted political crisis in Rivers State, driven by a bitter power struggle between Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his estranged political godfather, Nyesom Wike.


Since assuming office, Fubara has gradually distanced himself from Wike’s influence, leading to deep divisions within the state’s political structure, including the State House of Assembly and local government leadership.

The rift has triggered a series of political confrontations, alignments, and realignments, with both camps battling for control of the party machinery and governance structures in the state.

Efforts by President Bola Tinubu to broker peace between the two camps have so far yielded limited results, as tensions continue to simmer.


According to the source, “Wike’s endorsement of George is a strategic move to reassert control and shape the political future of Rivers State ahead of 2027,” he said.

As of press time, there has been no official confirmation on the latest endorsement

Amumaigwe:
Try and include the profile of Tinubu so we can rank all of them accordingly.

You want him to list those forgeries, identity theft and propaganda

Meddlesome Interloper

My problem with the APChit is this: they don’t demand this level of accountability from Tinubu and the APC, yet they turn around and demand it from the opposition.

Some are still asking Peter Obi to account for Labour Party campaign funds, even after he provided a comprehensive breakdown. First of it's kind in history

They’ve never asked Tinubu or the APC to account for the subsidy removal funds. Push them further, and they’ll say, “Ask your governor

I pity you

Will the notorious drunkard listen?

He’s been unusually quiet lately, perhaps reminiscing about his political future.

If Tinubu is voted out in 2027, what’s his bargaining chip? The People’s Democratic Party is practically dead, and the Rivers State structure he once bragged about is now in the governor’s hands. With the All Progressives Congress and the governor set to back candidates across positions, he may be realizing he has little left to fall back on.

DrMB:
Your political framing misses the point entirely. Whether this is APC propaganda or genuine analysis, the facts remain: Nigeria generates 4,000MW for 220 million people, the Pandora Papers exposure is documented by ICIR, and the offshore structures are Obi's own admission. These facts don't hurt Obi or his supporters, they actually help him, because a movement that honestly confronts its candidate's contradictions builds a stronger accountability framework than one built on personality worship.
If Obi is serious about structural transformation, his supporters demanding that he resolve the tension between his offshore wealth and his economic nationalism makes him a stronger candidate, not a weaker one.

Nice attempt at sounding objective, but you’ve dodged the actual question. If Peter Obi is so irrelevant, why the coordinated obsession with him? You don’t flood threads over someone who ‘came third’ that kind of energy is reserved for real threats.

And this sudden love for accountability’ is interesting. Have you held Tinubu to the same standard, on his long-debated background, records, controversies, identity theft, forgeries, brazen looting of state Treasury Or is scrutiny only noble when it’s directed at the opposition?

Have you held Tinubu accountable for the his campaign promises especially the promise to provide constant electricity?

You can’t preach accountability selectively and expect to be taken seriously

Right place at the wrong time. It would have worked 3 years ago. Now, they'll be so rigged out...

emotions aside

So because it didn’t work 3 years ago, we should just give up and quit?

Quitters never win.

happney65:
Obi this
Obi that
Yet they cant stop talking about him
Since yesterday he has dominated everywhere. Both social.media and the electronic and print media. Even oga presido doesnt want to travel again.

Truly,na Man you be!

Peter Obi is the biggest political figure in Africa. Anyone in doubt can argue with their keypad.

garykoeman:
She is only 6yrs older than Peter obi.

And she has the right to exercise her fundamental constitutional entitled.

At least Peter Obi’s age isn’t a mystery. How many extra years does Tinubu have on her?

Tinubu’s data boys are in overdrive. Since yesterday, the number of threads and articles about Peter Obi is telling. Isn’t this the same person they said came a distant third and ‘has no structure’?


Why are they so worked up over what he did or didn’t do?

Hardly anyone wants to take that risk and return to Nigeria under Tinubu. With insecurity, kidnapping, and banditry still rampant, the chances of living to enjoy that money seem slim.
