Tinubu is doing well but on this particular emergency ruling, i no too support am.

Why is he taking so much side with Wike in this political fight between two people. What agreement to they (Wike and Tinubu) have secretly? Is it because he wants to use Wike to destabilize the opposition party for his second tenure that he is giving Wike a field day in Rivers state? Omoh, questions full my mind concerning this emergency ruling.

If the presidency succeeds in lobbying the NASS for this shenanigan to go through at the chambers today, then there'll be no need for 2027 elections because the WILL of citizens would not count at the ballot.
You are expecting elections in 2027? Your votes WILL NOT count in 2027.


Did they count in 2023?

Same mistake he wanted to make by planning to attack Niger republic before the north forced him to stop

If the oil revenue is cut drastically with pipeline bombing, shebi there won’t be money to steal?

Follow Wike enter hole at your own risk and open the door for the military to legitimately come in and overthrown the entire government
Just shatap! Before Tinubu comes in, there have been 2 explosion, after coming in, explosion has stopped. Do you see that you are not thinking well

Exactly.

Let us see what the noise and complaints by PDP, Atiku, LP, Obi, NNPP etc amounts to.

If they can't block this vote then we know they are inconsequential olodos of nothingness.

Abati is the most clueless of all the wailers. If he can't mobilise senators and representatives to block the vote, what is the point of talking about impeachment that is even more difficult. Having a PhD is obviously not a sign of having sense.

Finally, they amount to nothing. SOWORE was pro-government during Jonathan government. That was when I know he is an IJAW boy. We have known him since his SUG days at UNILAG but that was one thing nobody knows. It was during Goodluck Jonathan's government he put his full BioData on Wikipedia, his village on the Ondo State Riverine area, the IJAW sect, his ancestors, their gods, etc. Thank God, I saved it in Archive. During his travail under Buhari, they removed it and placed the current one because Ondo Women plan to demonstrate for his release.

The above shows people in opposition always have interest personal to them.

Stop them before they stop you. Kill them before they kill you. The President only needs simple majority and not 2/3 majority in emergency situation to declare State of Emergency. Before then, provocative threats backup with actions that have precedents and which have huge impacts on the economy of the nation is a declaration of WAR. In Warfare Studies, there are different classes of Warfare. PSYCHOLOGICAL WARFARE is a great study. RUSSIA go to War over an intention of UKRAINE (NATO).

National Assembly don't to have wait until Trans Niger Gas Pipeline is completely burned down and all other key strategically located infrastructure is brought down. Militants cannot determine the cause or course of judgement delivered by Supreme Court. Militants cannot determine judgement to be delivered by Supreme Court. The major difference between Animals and Human beings is the Rule of Law. You cannot use militancy to subjugate or subdue Court Judgement.

The opposition is only playing with fire. The baby lion you failed to kill today will finally grow up to kill you tomorrow.

Babajide Kolade Otitoju, the veteran polemist and strong admirer of PBAT stood on the noble path of truth, looked in the camera yesterday 19th March, 2025 on his Journalist Hangout programme and interpreted the suspension of the Governor as ILLEGAL.

Considering the fact that TVC is owned by PBAT he still stood his ground for the truth and posterity.

The respect I had for Jide increased yesterday to 100x ³.

Any lawmaker who agrees with this Illegality will be rejected in his constituency.

We are waiting !!!
Babajide made me love journalist hangout so much, but he changed during the last election with biase journalism made me dislike him.

Let me ask you a question?

Let’s say he sacks Wike, does it stop the impeachment process? Are the other faction going to stop their war with Fubara? Do you not realize sacking Wike only makes matters worse because the Wike faction then have to take out Fubara by any means necessary? The answer is no! If Fubara is impeached, what will the militants do? Do you now understand why he can’t sack Wike and can’t allow the impeachment. Therefore SOE is his only tool at the moment to save Fubara from impeachment.

Opposition is already destabilized.

He will get any number he wants,wike needs to pump more dollars to akpabio to share, as for the green chamber, he will still need to pump in more dollars. Las Las he will spend more than half of 36 billion from renovation of the ICC to replace Fubara and in turn, the replacement will do exactly what Fubara refused to do, which is syphoning state allocation to him (wike) in the end, it is the Rivers State people that will still loose out.

What beats me is a chambers occupied by different parties, different tribe, different ethnicity and different religions unite to do the wrong thing, but never for the right things.

Because of the strong condemnation from all the media all opposition the senators will be afraid of the people so it will be difficult

Re: Tinubu's Men Struggling To Get two-thirds To Back Rivers Emergency Rule - Cable by Inosky: 8:24am On Mar 20, 2025
Definitely, he'll rather use Rivers money to lobby each of the lawmakers than not get it. Now, that a lot of them are outside the country for Hajj is even the best, they send their account details, then will do Whatsapp voting in support. Game over.
Is it not those corrupt men and women, rubber stamp lawmakers?! Nothing good comes from them, just have your money to bribe them. I wonder what they're even doing in Saudi Arabia??!

If the National assembly block the State of Emergency, the state house of assembly will be more embolden to impeach Fubara, and this time around they will get security cover and the whole state will be militarized to safeguard national assets. Backing the SOE means Fubara will get a reprieve and have the six months window to seek genuine reconciliation
HOA will just wake up and impeach the governor on their own just like thathuh

The question I am still asking people is:

Why did Tinubu declare a State of Emergency in Rivers State?

Because Wike and governor Fubara dey quarrel?

Because two people dey quarrel you rush go declare SOE!

If this is allowed to stand, then I know that the NASS is an assemblage of jokers!
It's Fúbara and Rivers lawmakers that has issues, Wike is just a supporter of the law makers has Fúbara too has many supporters both online and offline.

Most Nigerians can’t see beyond their noses. Most Nigerians are shallow thinkers. Better pray he gets the votes needed because the alternative will be unimaginable.

Imagine what happens if the house returns and succeeds in impeaching Fubara? They had not impeached him his boys Had set off explosions....some say 3.

The reason Tinubu has the power to suspend a governor and the house under emergency rule Is THEY ARE THE CAUSE of the problem!

This is different from other Past situations.

Instead of him ab initio to call fubara & d RSHA to meeting & tell fubara to submit d budget & order RSHA to approve d 2025 budget,and charge fubara to pay the assembly members.
The urge them to work together for d betterment of rivers state & nigeria shikena but he choose to connive with wike & amaehwule to declare SOA in river state.

Have they not started the process already?, the Rivers chief judge that could help Fúbara has already been indicted, they will impeach him and that could have been worst than this soe.

It's the haters of Mr President that carries this issue on their head,Mr Fúbara I believe deep down in the corner of his heart will be thanking Mr President for saving him from the
Law makers.

Simple Majority is even if whoever gets more votes the ayes or the nays.

2/3rd is 2/3rd

Sheuns:

Define 2/3rd
Una, even in your ONITSHA main market or Ariara at Aba or Alaba market in Lagos, they do elections. Uncivilized crude traders know the difference between simple majority and 2/3 of members. 2/3 + 1/3 = 1. Majority is not necessarily 2/3. That is not even the issue on ground.

There is a serious problem on ground. Militants and militancy cannot determine the course of Law. Militants cannot determine the execution of Supreme Court Judgement. Militants cannot determine the resolutions of National or State Assembly. If Emergency rule is not declared and the RSHA impeached the Governor, militants cannot resist the impeachment. There is a Rule of Law.

Kidnapping for ransom was started by the militants. It was after the Amnesty program by the Yaradua government and the settlement of ODI invasion by Jonathan that Boko Haram gained momentum. Senator Ali Ndume as at that time said Boko Haram needs amnesty like the Niger Delta militant. That was Boko Haram before integration into ISWAP and radicalization by Al-qeda and groups.

I refrained from making statement when I read Atiku's statement. Atiku made statement that Tinubu made the militants to return to the creek after Yaradua settled them. He said Tinubu wasted all the efforts made by Yaradua to solve the militants problem. I wept bitterly because people like Atiku did not know there is a problem on ground.

The death of the Battalion Commander, his assistant and other soldiers at Warri revealed a lot of things. Also, the divestment of MNOC because of safety of their investment and men in difficult challenging terrain means a lot.

Constituted authority was not destroyed in Edo under Obaseki and in Rivers under Fubara when Parliament was not allowed to function but it was when the governor and the Parliament were suspended that constituted authority was disrupted.

Atiku didn't realize that pipelines and oil installations would still be blown and vandalized in future whenever the Ijaws don't have their way. Therefore, it is not making political statement that matters but looking into the future. The Ajaokuta Kaduna, Kano Gas Pipeline, Warri to Kaduna oil pipeline, WAGP and others are under threats. The MNOC divested their portfolios in Nigeria because of these threats.
