Since he had a guest (the first lady) who ceremonially in the Nigerian political context is more powerful than him, he should have exercised some decorum. He should have been wiser. On the part of the first lady, she should have tolerated him there and kept the caution for later.

Both of them acted badly, my conclusion.

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, says no one can expel him from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

He said he has been a member of the party from its inception and has contributed meaningfully to its growth.

joelbooks:
When we say Nigeria is the GIANT of Africa, it is a FACT. The US threatened Nigeria expecting Nigeria to beg. Instead, President Tinubu didn’t address the bully, didn’t lead or send a delegation of high ranking political office holders to Washington. The US saw that Nigeria isn’t cowering and has now sent congressmen unceremoniously to Nigeria who weren’t even received by the presidency or high ranking federal political office holders.

South Africa has a lot to learn from Nigeria in dealing with a bully instead of running straight to Washington to convince Trump.

Wike is behaving as if Tinubu will not finish 8 years

Nobody is seeking for your forgiveness. You can go ahead and do your worst.
In as much as I don't support balablu, I will never entertain the idea of supporting a Fulani again. Go and gather your kinsmen to vote for a Fulani man because you want t o revenge, you all will fail.

Even Jonathan who spent 6 yrs in power has since moved on.

Make una get real sense for once. Was Tinubu and Jonathan in one party as at that time?

2027 is the turn of the south. Atiku refused to support Jonathan in 2015 because he claimed it's the turn of the north.

I fine it difficult that Omisore believed Osun APC will stop a sitting governor from joining them only to hand over their party ticket to him

A former National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Iyiola Omisore, has faulted his exclusion from the party’s Osun State governorship primary, describing the move as “a complete farce,” while accusing the screening panel of bias and procedural breaches.

Addressing journalists in Abuja on Saturday, after a meeting with the APC Screening Appeal Panel, Omisore, who spoke on behalf of the affected aspirants, alleged that former Governor and Minister of Marine Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, had unduly influenced the process to give an advantage to Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji.

Earlier, the APC Screening Committee had disqualified Omisore and six other aspirants from participating in the December 13 governorship primary over alleged irregularities in their nomination documents.

Those barred from the race include Omisore, Babatunde Oralusi, Oyedotun Babayemi, Dr Akin Ogunbiyi, Benedict Alabi, Adegoke Rasheed Okiki, and Senator Babajide Omoworare.

According to the committee, the aspirants failed to submit proof of sponsorship from at least five fully registered and financially up-to-date party members in each Local Government Area, as stipulated in Articles 9.3(i) and 31.2(ii) of the APC Constitution and Paragraph 6(c) of the party’s guidelines.

Only Mulikat Abiola Jimoh and Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji were certified fit to contest the primary.

Omisore dismissed the basis for the disqualification, insisting that none of the aspirants received any formal communication outlining the alleged breaches.

He said, “Well, that panel report is the jokiest report of the year. It is quite unfortunate that people have taken partisanship beyond politics.

“We know the panel produced multiple reports, and the one submitted to the secretariat was not the original. As we speak, none of us has been shown the report or told why we were disqualified.”

He further challenged the committee’s assertion that some aspirants did not meet the required number of nominators, arguing that the party leadership already had complete access to the membership register.

“I am the only one who has met them. But we have the same reservations. So far, so good. All of us will meet the appeal panel individually. But I asked them, ‘What are the allegations, because we haven’t seen any.


“We haven’t been written to. So, what are the bases of the disqualification? You said we didn’t have nominators, five per local government. But the law says, he who alleges must prove. They should have used another method to disqualify us,” Omisore said.

He said the development underscored deeper concerns about the fairness and transparency of the party’s nomination process.

“But you can know from our pedigree that the disqualification wasn’t the right word to use for us because we are germane in this thing. We are the veterans! You can see for yourself that where you have disqualified people like us in any contest, where do we go from there?” he added.

Omisore voiced confidence that the National Working Committee would revisit the matter and potentially reverse the decision, pointing to what he called growing signs of factionalism within the Osun APC.

“As a person, I look forward to good things in my life. The NWC, in their own wisdom, have the list of members of the party, and we have over 13,000 members of the party who are financiers.

“And all of us aspirants are guilty of the same thing, the same system, the same way. That’s the issue, and it calls for caution,” he said.

He has gone to ADC.

That's where his people are at.

CodeTemplarr:
[b]For example, a former senior aide of his gave an explosive interview in November 2025 in which he alleged that Matawalle provided “36 brand new Hilux vehicles” to notorious bandit commanders while he was governor and even maintained contact with these commanders after he became minister.

The aide also claimed that Matawalle purchased stolen livestock from the bandits at discounted prices. These allegations were not vague hints. They were specific actions accompanied by dates, names, and places, and they were made by someone who had worked closely with him.

This is not where the claims stop. While serving as governor, Matawalle was accused by his successor Dauda Lawal of harboring bandit leaders in the government house and turning the machinery of state toward enabling banditry rather than fighting it. According to reports, Lawal alleged that ransom payments to abductors often passed through government channels under Matawalle.

The accusations were so grave that Lawal called for Matawalle’s removal from the defense ministry on grounds that someone tainted by complicity should not be anywhere near Nigeria’s security apparatus.Nigeria history books[/b]

Kobojunkie:
Despite a lack of training, many (almost 50% of married women)
women in Nigeria are breadwinners in their non-polygamous marriages. Given that they there training has them believing their life isn't worth much without a man in their lives, many hold fast that Mrs. badge like their lives depend on it, resorting to carrying on the additional burden of being the breadwinner in the marriage for this reason. (If we check polygamous marriages, we may find that many of the wives in such cases also find they have to carry significant weight on their own, too.)
