Wike is not the clown that PDP and APC supporters seem to take him for. Goodluck Jonathan propped Wike up in politics of Nigeria. It's difficult for Wike and others in the SS to forgive Atiku and Tinubu who brought down Goodluck Jonathan from office of the President of Nigeria.
Far north states shall vote mostly for Atiku, except the most enlightened ones who shal vote for Labour.
Anyone who believes that Wike or his Rivers people, shall support Atiku is on a wild goose chase. At best, Wike supports Tinubu, but his Rivers people shall vote mostly for Peter Obi. Nobody in the SS can forget in a hurry what Tinubu and Atiku did to bring down then president Jonathan Goodluck.
naptu2: Some supporters of Peter Obi, under the platform of a group called Tag Team, have planned to hold a mega rally at the Lekki Toll Plaza on October 1st, 2022. However, some supporters of Bola Tinubu have also planned to hold a mega rally at the same Lekki Toll Plaza at the same time as the Peter Obi supporters.
THE PRESIDENTIAL CONTEST IS NOT BETWEEN TINUBU AND OBI. But it's like people of the SE and SW think that the next presidential election is between Peter Obi and Bola Tinubu.
These SE and SW rivals must wake up from slumber, before they make another Fula, Atiku, to succeed another Fula, Buhari, as president of Nigeria beginning May 29, 2023.
Tinubu is fronting for Atiku. Tinubu will subtract from the massive votes of Peter Obi in the SE, SS, SW and NC. This is to enable Atiku to win. Tinubu mouthed return of presidency to the South. Tinubu shall step down for Obi if Tinubu truly wants the presidency to come south in 2023.
Nnamani, your brain has been consumed by the name PDP. You became governor through PDP, and Senator after governor through PDP. So you think that other voters are like you milking from PDP in politics.
Fejoku: LMAO. The foolish foster president can say whatever he's programmed to say but reality will soon hit him and his handlers very hard which is that NIGERIA MUST DIVIDE. The current Nigerian government built rail lines and petrol refinery in Niger republic but my region was totally left out of the whole plan with no rail line, no refinery even when oil and gas is being pumped out of her. There's no federal government infrastructure in a whole region that holds one of the largest African ethnic groups yet I'm expected to remain a Nigerian. That will never happen. Freedom all the way is what we want and that is what we must get. Freedom for BIAFRA remains sacrosanct.
6th of January 1966 was date Buhari conveniently chose as starting date of killings in Nigeria. That was the date of the Nzogwu-led military coup.
But before 6th January 1966, people like Buhari in far north Nigeria had since started to massacre Eastern Nigerians in the far of north Nigeria.
BadRadio: The President has dropped a video tweet in his official twitter handle on Tuesday 9th of August, emphasising on the need for Nigeria to be united despite the struggles.
You killed about one million of 'yourselves' to become one. What sense did it make to kill a million people in order to have a country to remain one? No sense. Only parasites would make sense out of that; parasites who believe that cheap cash from crude oil is all a country requires to survive.
Not the Nigeria which you and your types in the sharia states strive to become an Islamic Republic of Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws, the same thing Boko Haram, armed Fulani herdsmen and bandits strive for.
Shey na Buhari dey rule US, UK, France, Spain, Sri Lanka, Argentina and rest, wey dey go through the worst economic challenges of their past 30 - 40 years?
Una fit follow global economic development with una dull brains?
Abeg, carry on with the Big Brother wey your brain fit carry.
By nearly all ramifications, Buhari is the best president Nigeria has had. I can defend this anywhere with facts.
Do the leaders of the countries you mentioned go abroad for common ailments, for an example? Another ForwardNever and BackwardEver Nigerian?
About 40 Church goers killed in Owo Church. For what?
If the suspects are Nigerians from the north, what's the use of continuation of one Nigeria when we all know that Islamic terrorists from the north have been fighting for a Nigeria to be governed with Sharia criminal laws, the same unconstitutional Islamic sharia criminal laws adopted by the political and religious leaders of the 12 northern Nigeria's sharia states?
ManirBK: Congratulations, Sir. Once again, the children of hate are put to shame. If God loves you, you need not to worry over the haters. Go! Go! Go! Sheikh Pantami, may sky be your limit.
Security was mentioned in the award, yet Nigeria is suffering from the worst form of insecurity under Pantami.
Apart from his avowed disbelief in one Nigeria, Tinubu is the most prominent destroyer of Nigeria's unity through his jumping on the presidential race after being warned by unifiers in his southwest region, that it's the turn of the Igbo to present a successor to President Buhari.
In the last 48 hours, our attention has been drawn to a viral video of a song that has raised concerns and commentary across Nigeria.
For the avoidance of doubt, between August 4 and August 6 2022, the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) was in Ikeja, Lagos, for our 46th Annual General Meeting. This event was attended by over 2,000 of our members who came to Lagos from all over the world.
As part of the activities we were at the Isheri Primary Health Centre on Thursday 4th August, where we provided free medical services to the Isheri Community. Over 300 people were assisted with various forms of medical treatment. We were also at the Police Hospital, Area F, Ikeja, where we donated substantial quantities of PPEs and other medical supplies.
These were part of our NAS Medical Mission which was founded in 2012. In the 11 years since then, we have organised over 50 free medical missions that has made a difference to many disadvantaged communities across Nigeria.
Part of the annual general meeting was the review of all our advocacy, humanitarian and operational activities for the year. This, then, as usual, culminated in a celebratory procession. An aspect of this yearly process that we have undertaken for the last 46 years. In our view, it proceeded without event, until this extremely limited video made this appearance.
Quite contrary to the manner in which certain aspects of the video are being portrayed, no aspect of this procession or the event itself was political. Rather it was the typical climax of our annual general meeting. At no time in the history of this organisation has this event; or indeed any of our events had any slanted political leanings.
Let it be known that the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) does not mock or discriminate against the physical condition of any person. Never. It is an unfair characterisation and offends everything that we stand for. Indeed, this would cause offence to even our own members that are also, unfortunately, afflicted that this would never be condoned.
We must stress that we are apolitical. As an organisation, we have never had a preferred candidate in any political elections including the upcoming 2023 general elections. We have members who belong to different political parties and are absolutely free to support any candidate of their choice.
It is most unfortunate that political capital is being made of this with interpretations that are totally at variance with the philosophy of the Pyrates Confraternity. Unequivocally, we condemn this in very strong terms.
We understand that political merchants desperately seeking media mileage are all over the place misinforming and twisting events to suit their political agenda. However, we wish to reemphasise that the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) are not supporting or backing any candidate for the office of the President or any other office in the 2023 general elections and beyond.
As an organisation in tune with disadvantaged and voiceless people, we are committed to the enthronement of a just society in which no one is discriminated against based on tribe, religion, gender or disability. We are against conventions that are moribund. We have always stood for Humanistic ideals, comradeship and chivalry. Nothing that has happened can and will change that posture.
We are determined to continue to use our social programmes, intellectual platforms and our compelling songs to advocate for good governance and accountability!

Yes, the Pyrates Confraternity is "committed to enthronent of a just society in which no one is discriminated against based on religion, tribe..."
This is the reason why Tinubu's entry to the presidential race is condemnable, because Tinubu knows that rotation of the presidency between the various regions of Nigeria has been the case since 1999; and Tinubu knew, and was warned by many political heavyweights from the south that it's the turn of the SE region to produce a successor to President Buhari. Why would Tinubu say "it's my turn," when he should know that it's not his turn, and knowing full well also that he suffers Parkinsonism which will not allow him perform optimally as a president of a country?
PointZerom: Tinubu is full of Deception, he left rotten Lagos for me to repair, all you see booming in Lagos today was my handwork.
Tinubu should come out on National TV and tell Nigerians about one Project he started, I didn’t say complete, one project he started talks more of completing them.
I was removed as a governor because this same Tinubu wanted me to be paying him 50B in Naira and 5$m each month from Lagos revenue, I asked him where will I get the money from, I told him I have logos to fix and not his family to feed, he told me I will hear from him in the next election, that was how my removal started.
I closed down many Tinubu “Toll Gate” so that logosians can be free from paying too much Toll gate fee because everywhere was full of Tinubu Toll Gate, coming in your pay, going out you pay, it was much, I was fighting for Lagos people on a low key while trying not to let the public know what was going on.
For the record, Tinubu never started a single project in Lagos, not even half, if he said am lying, let him call me out on National TV and I will answer with my full self, I wanted to keep mute with all his lying going on, but I think Nigerians needs to hear the truth and vote wisely this time.
Dear Nigerians, Oshodi of Lagos was built by me, completed by me, and commissioned by me. They have nothing to lie about rather than my projects. APC government that failed Lagos state will also fail Nigerians if voted in again
Akinwunmi Ambode Former Governor of Lagos State
Tinubu could not complete Jakande's Lagos Metro Rail transport system he inherited from Jakande which was stopped by Buhari in 1984.
Shortly before his death, Jakande said the uncompleted Lagos Metro was his greatest regret in Nigeria's politics. Considering the high IGR of Lagos State, every governor of Lagos State is adjudged to have performed better than other state governors. But Tinubu is the least achiever of all the governors of Lagos State.
Certainty is most of the people in Rivers State are OBidient. No shaking. No saner person will go for the two old and most corrupt presidential candidates in the APC and PDP.
But who in Nigeria never knew before now that Bola Tinubu is suffering from Parkinsonism? Tinubu's hands shake on rare occasions he appeared in public. Here, Tinubu’s hands had to be held firmly by President Buhari and APC chairman, to enable Tinubu raise a flag.
Tinubu suffers incontinence and memory loss as well.
Sanusi studied Sharia during his Masters degree. What does he know about Economy? Chest beater since he made the statement: if you come to borrow to pay salary, I know your company is broke.
LegendHero: For anyone doubting the resolve of Wike to work for Asiwaju, this is your answer. I love the bolded, support who you will benefit from.
With Wike, Asiwaju can be sure of at least 25% of the votes which is a great feat considering the fact that both Obi & Atiku will dilute each other votes. If you fail to secure bloc vote from Rivers, where else will Atiku get the numbers in the South?
The only thing that can give Atiku a lifeline in this election is if Peter Obi withdraw for him coz for every one vote Peter Obi gets, it is -1 for PDP and +1 for APC.
God bless wicked Wike, the slayer of IPOB terrorists, and the nemesis of Atiku.
maasoap: A winner should withdraw for a loser? A real contender should withdraw for a clown? A candidate with foot soldiers should withdraw for a candidate with online ranters? A candidate with primary election that shook the whole Nigeria should withdraw for a candidate who was begged with party ticket?
Ori nta yin sir
The far north is voting Atiku.
The SE, SS, middle belt and enlightened ones in the SW and far north are voting Obi. The MURICS of the SW are voting Tinubu. Tinubu is too old, most corrupt and sick for any saner person to make him president of a country.
