If he is not powerful, then how was he able to remain in PDP while still serving as minister under APC? Do you think PDP would have spared any other person dare to do so?

What do you expect Fubara to do other than what he has been doing? Do you think governor too has no limit in exercising power within a state?

That's not Fubara business for him still remaining in PDP and working for APC, but as long as Rivers State is concern Wike is gone. Do you still hear of Amaechi the super minister that had Buharis ears. Don't worry it's turn by turn

Throwback:
Tinubu approached experts for advice on a Coastal Erosion problem, and such expert advice resulted in Eko Atlantic City as the solution.

Obi approached a mad man for advice, it resulted in the sack of Abia and Imo indigenes from the Anambra State Civil Service.

While Lagos is now competing with the economy of other African States, Anambra is struggling to compete with the economy of Kogi State.

Nigerians have a choice before them.

To vote a brilliant administrator or a dull administrator.

We all know the consequences of their past job in their respective states.

So who did he approach for advice that has tumbled the whole country that Nigeria and Somalia are now competing

This man is so powerful that some people don't know. Since I have been following Nigeria politics, no politician has ever serve in a government that is belong to opposition and still maintain his influence in his own party.

Which powerful 💪 and his lawmakers are jobless, only good at doing damage control from the media, come to Rivers State and ask he is gone, a man without a base is not has powerful as it stands, Fubara is just a gentleman if not you would have seen how powerful he is. That office in Abuja is his saving grace, but for Rivers State forget Wike

The Inspector General of Police, Dr. Kayode Egbetokun has said that President Bola Tinubu transformed his life in 1998 within 24 hours when he first met him as a young officer noting that President Bola Tinubu made a significant impact on his life and career.

Egbetokun who made the revelations at the unveiling of a book in his honour titled, “Readings in Policing, Peace, and Security” at the Police Conference Centre, Abuja said, “I thank the Almighty God by whose grace I’m alive today to receive this incredible honour. My life and career are a testament to God’s infinite mercy. It has been God for me.

“As I’m standing here today, my mouth is filled with testimonies. I would have loved to share some of these testimonies, but today is not Thanksgiving Day. I will, therefore, reserve the details of that for another day.

“I must, however, acknowledge the significant impact of a particular individual on my life and career. I met President Bola Tinubu in 1998, and that meeting produced a positive transformation in my life within 24 hours. That story is also a testimony that I would like to leave for another day“.

Egbetokun said the book would serve as a reference material and a source of inspiration for young officers adding, “The book will not only be a reference material, but it is also going to inspire the new generation of law enforcement officers in Nigeria. “

“I can also confidently say that this book is an indispensable result for scholars, policymakers and practitioners in the field of policing, peace and security.

In his remarks, President Bola Tinubu who was represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume described the book as a fitting tribute to the IG.

The President said Egbetokun’s
dedication to the principles of justice, peace and security has left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s policy landscape saying, “I stand before you today at this public presentation of a book that embodies both the essence and aspirations of our nation’s internal security efforts.

“The book ‘Readings in Policing, Peace and Security’ is a fitting tribute to Dr Kayode Egbetokun, our esteemed Inspector General of Police, a man whose dedication to the principles of justice, peace and security has left an indelible mark on Nigeria’s policy landscape.

“When I was asked to write the foreword for this remarkable compilation, I accepted without hesitation. This was not merely because of the gravity of the subject, Policing, peace and security at this critical juncture in our national experience, but also because of the extraordinary individual it honours.

“Dr. Ebetokun is a paragon of integrity and professionalism, a police officer whose career has been marked by a steadfast commitment to duty and an unwavering resolve in the face of challenges.”

Disclosing that Egbetokun served diligently when he was his Chief Security Officer during his tenure as the Lagos State governor, Tinubu said, “He is a man I have had the privilege to know and work with closely, particularly during my tenure as Governor of Lagos State, where he served with distinction as my Chief Security Officer.

“The Society for Peace Studies and Practice, along with its collaborating institutions, deserves commendation for recognizing excellence and celebrating it by bringing together renowned scholars and peace practitioners.

“Their efforts have resulted in this anthology of original research and reflective articles that delve deeply into the complex dynamics of internal security management.

“This publication is not just timely, it is a necessary resource that undoubtedly has a lasting impact on the practice of law enforcement in Nigeria.

“Egbetokun is one of those rare figures who has consistently stood tall and resolute in our nation’s security architecture. “

Well said, one man can not hold the party to ransom, what is he doing that others can't do, because he is good at bribing that's the only thing

vanitybutiwanti:
sharrap, how much Fubara Don chop? Naira is worthless now, wike was governor and minister of Education when dollar was around the 200-500 range, Fubara can never meet up, money that would have been used for other purposes is being used to bribe people blindly, he's also stealing like a mad man because he's unsure about Tomorrow, wike chop ministry of education and NDDC from 2011-2015, chop Rivers for 8 years, and is now eating FCT, NNPC and NNDC, and you think he is bothered about Rivers treasury?

You're too daaft to realise that it's not about the money, ingraates and betrayer should put in their place to serve as a deterrent to other upcoming political betrayer and Ingraates.

Sit back and watch as the game unfolds

Take it easy ndoo, you're so pained and fill with so much bitterness it is over for Wike in Rivers State just accept and I will not disturb you again 😭

asiwaju60:
Local government election can't be use to test influence in nigeria politics because governor candidates will surely win.

The upcoming bye election in the state will be major test for SIM if is going to survive beyond 2027

The structure is at the local government if you must understand every state with its own pattern, for Rivers State of you control the LGAs you almost sure of winning the elections

vanitybutiwanti:
shut up igbo man, LGA election is under the purview of RISIEC, an institution controlled by the state government, its expected that fubaras candidates will be rigged in, why not wait for an INEC conducted election, let's see if Fubaras candidate will win.

You want the party to ditch the 3 senators, multiple Federal House of Representatives lawmakers, and other core PDP members on wikes team because a man that joined mainstream politics yesterday? You think everything is about money?

Cry cry baby 🍼 take it easy sorry you guys lost our in the scheme of things the Treasury is not within your reach 😂😂😂

WIKE was the one supposed to leave the party not a whole seating governor, that shows the governor is a baby governor

When obaseki left for another party and won does that make him a baby governor. Wike can keep the party, but mark my post PDP would not win in 2027 if Fubara is not there

SpatialKing:
He will definitely lose Rivers if he defects

Not at all, you don't even understand the politics in the state, wait for the LGA elections to come and go and see what will happen in the state all Wike loyalists will be chased away from Rivers State.

yarimo:
FUBARA defect and lose your seat as governor, baby governor decivied by paper weight politicians in rivers state

Fubara is not defecting today or tomorrow he will leave after PDP primaries then loosing the seat wouldn't be if any importance, you call him baby governor and he is giving Wike and his lawmakers shege, see the group of friends with our salary since January and you call him baby governor

BREAKING: PDP Moves to Halt Fubara’s Defection, Sends Party Leaders to Meet Him in Rivers

Photo of Daniel Daniel Daniel Daniel Follow on TwitterAugust 20, 2024 2 minutes read

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has made an effort to prevent Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, from defecting from the party.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the PDP has sent a high-powered delegation to meet with him in Rivers State.


The delegation, comprising top party leaders, including the BoT Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara; former Chairman, Ahmed Makarfi; elder statesman, Olabode George; and Senator Abdul Ningi, arrived in Port Harcourt on Tuesday to persuade Governor Fubara to remain in the PDP.

Recall that for months, speculation has been rife that Governor Fubara had left the PDP. To this, the governor had maintained silence on his next move, fueling further speculation.


Addressing the delegation, Governor Fubara expressed doubts about his membership in the PDP but acknowledged that the visit by the BoT had reassured him of his recognition as a party member.



“But, so far, what is important this afternoon is that we are still members of the party, and the owners of the party have visited us.


“So, for those people outside who are carrying all sorts of rumour and propaganda, at least, this visit will put that propaganda to rest, and to tell the world that we are and we still remain members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),” he said.


The Chairman of the BoT, Senator Adolphus Wabara, revealed that the party was desperate to prevent losing Rivers State to the APC, citing the strong opposition presence in the state.

He said, “We were scared Sir, when we heard or read speculations, perceptions or what have you, that the party, if we are not careful, might lose Rivers State. Of course, if we loose Rivers State, Nigeria has lost its future,” he said.

“We don’t want what happened in 2015, and 2023 to repeat itself. These men and women you see here are very neutral. But as the conscience of the party, we must go by the rule of law. And anything you do, going by the rule of law, can never be wrong. It may be delayed, but it cannot be wrong.”

Wabara added, “I don’t want to describe it. Otherwise, as a Governor, we have former Governors here, I doubt if they would have taken as much as you have. So, on behalf of this party, once again, let me thank you for your resilience, your wisdom, and for the fact that you are still in this party.

“And to assure you that the Board of Trustees under my watch and with these serious minded Nigerians, will deal with the matter as constitutionally allowed.”

They know what to do hand over the structure of the party to him and expel Wike from the party, if not they can kiss Rivers State good bye

vanitybutiwanti:
you're an idiiot, you that never voted or supported fubara is now licking his ass and sucking his dickk? Who qualifies as a slave between us? You neglect happenings in your own region and dabble into affairs of a man that was rigged in, aren't you stupiid and jobless? I pity your father for wasting scarce funds in an empty vessel like you.

Continue to exhibit the character of a frustrated loser, nothing for you or Wike it over for him and your likes in Rivers State shame on you all 😧

vanitybutiwanti:
I have nothing to prove to you Mr Igbo man, go through my post. Now gwr lost and get a life.

I already have a life it is you that's a slave to darkness that should seek for deliverance and light 😂 that should help you survive because you are done 👍

vanitybutiwanti:

Which Rivers man you be, name your location you live in Rivers State

vanitybutiwanti:

You better focus on your state and talk about your state politics meddlesome interloper, elections are not won on social media idiiot, if election was a social media thing, Fubara won't be governor today mumu man always jumping on bandwagon, at the end of the day, you will still cry and clamour for biafra as a typical loser idiiot.

EXCLUSIVE: LP CANDIDATE OLUMIDE AKPATA IN SECRET ALLIANCE WITH APC

... Sponsored to waste votes in Edo South Senatorial district*


Fresh facts have emerged revealing stunning details of how Labour Party Governorship candidate in Edo State, Olumide Akpata is working in secret alliance with All Progressives Congress(APC) and is being sponsored by the party to waste votes and undermine the chances of Peoples Democractic Party(PDP) in Edo South Senatorial district ahead of the forthcoming Guber Election in Edo State.

Akpata has been a very close friend and business ally to President Bola Tinubu and their relationship dates back to 2001 when Tinubu was Governor of Lagos State. It is said that Tinubu played a major role in Akpata's emergence as NBA President and the President was also instrumental to his recent decision to join Labour party in July 2023 and has been a major financier of his Governorship bid right from the Primaries.

Insider sources in Aso Rock reveal that President Tinubu and APC are behind Olumide Akpata's Governorship ambition in Labour Party. Their ultimate agenda is not to support him to win, but to use him as proxy candidate to divide the votes in the cosmopolitan Edo South Senatorial district which is considered a PDP stronghold and which also has the highest number of registered voters in Edo State.

The Labour Party whose flag Akpata will be flying in the Guber race, won last year's Presidential election in the state, a reflection of the Party's popularity in the State.

Akpata deliberately set out to leverage on the existing "Obidient Movement" built around Labour Party Presidential Candidate, Mr. Peter Obi. The movement is very popular in Edo State and the APC considers it a major threat and stumbling block to their quest to take over Edo hence the secret engagement of Akpata as a 3rd force to whittle down PDP's influence in the zone.

"Akpata was neither a member of Labour Party nor part of the Obidient movement during the 2023 General elections in Edo State. He was no where to be found when the likes of Dr. Isaiah Osifo and Dr. Azemhe Azena who are now candidates of APGA and NNPP were championing Labour Party in Edo State" A Labour Party Chieftain disclosed


Findings show that Akpata is being sponsored heavily by the Presidency through the office of the Chief of Staff to President, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila. In February, he received $850 thousand dollars from the Presidency to grab the Labour Party ticket against Kenneth Imansuangbon, Hon. Sergius Oguns and other Aspirants from Edo Central Senatorial District. He also received additional N1.6 Billion for his Ward campaign tours and N450 Million Naira for TV ads specifically in May 2024.

It may be recalled that the Labour Party Primaries that produced Akpata was characterised by serious controversies and has been the subject of unending litigations in court over allegations of manipulation of delegates list, bribery, corruption and sharing of 1,500 Dollars per Delegate.

With barely a month to Election, Akpata was last week sighted in Abuja holding late night meetings with Gbajabiamila and Vice President Kashim Shettima at the Borno state Governor's lodge in Asokoro. It is believed that President Tinubu has more than a passive interest in Edo State and has mandated the trio of VP Shettima, Senate President Akpabio and Tinubu's Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila to deploy all necessary resources required to assist Akpata to remain in the race against PDP.

Wasted funds because PDP would still win the election, the APC candidate is nothing to write home about, it's a shame that's the kind of candidate APC can produce. The forget this election and come back in 4yrs time again

vanitybutiwanti:
na your papa go die for slavery for fubara, mumu igbo man, a meddlesome interloper.

We go see who go cry last last, all Wike structures in the state has been dismantled, of he likes he can collect all the structures in PDP and APC we dash, but he and his goons will never smell the resources of the state ole

Misterone:
See goat! My believe is someone like you with your sense of reasoning will be poor. You've never involved yourself in a business deal that is worth up to a 100 million. That's why you have this kind of sentiment.
A business deal worth billions is not signed in a day. There have to be agreements on the meaning of every letter of the words written in that contract.
A case in point, something that you and your obi-silly will know of;
⅔ of 36 states and the FCT. Is this statement not easy to read and sign off? But it has so many meanings. That is why you need to check and cross-check. Ode!

Don't need to join issues with someone that reasons with his dick
