PANDEF should respect the president's decision.

This is not the time for politics, they should see it as a way to protect the people of Rivers state.

Okay. So seh una wan go to court ni abi what's next after this revelation?

Perhaps, the FG could have waited for like just 1 month to watch and monitor the consistent pipeline vandalism..

What was even PANDEF position before the SOE was declared?

tamonokare:
Tinubu check mated all of you.

So tinubu fears pipelines explosion like this and he was allowing wike and his boys cause problems in rivers? Now jungle mature he rushed to call SOE?

If he likes he shouldn't caution wike he will see more of what he's looking for.

fuckingAyaya:
why ain't he protecting the people of benue state and some northern states from the numerous attacks of herdsmen and terrorists? Or are their lives less important to that of Rivers people?

...obviously because they are not from oil rich states so their lives are not so important. The government would rather offseat the state power structure than go directly after the pipeline vandals to protect the interests of the elites who own the oil infrastructure rather than protecting the interests of Rivers people. That is why they are putting up the guise of keeping the peace in Rivers state instead of going after the pipeline vandals.
The speed at which power was yanked from Rivers state is suspect when not a single person has been arrested for issuing threats of chaos or causing pipeline explosions.
Where was the NCDC, JTF and other Fed Govt agencies when pipeline vandalism was going on at the time?
What have they been doing up until now and why is no investigating the reasons why they failed to do their job of ensuring security?
How can Fed Govt be paying all manner of agencies and security contractors hefty sums to protect our pipelines and other National assets and still after all that, our oil pipelines were blown up with such ease only for the same Fed govt to turn around and blame the incident as a consequence of the fight between Fubara and his state assembly members.
Why is no one asking these questions for heaven's sake?

point out the vandalism ... Tinubu heard a bomb blast people in Rivers did not hear

With the sporadic responses of the FG under 24hrs how are we sure it is not Tinubu/wike that strategized and played the bombing script, do you see FG talk about investigation cheesy

Tinubu took the hard choice of state of emergency, breaching constitution, when calling Wike to order could have solved the crisis

Remove wike in River crisis and stability will be restored whatever Tinubu is expecting from wike 2027 ... i hope it is the whole Nigeria votes

Babaginda annulled june 12, we've seen Tinubu annulled lagos assembly and rivers people mandate, face of democratic hand of babaginda

What was Tinubu responses then and lets see the real hypocrite

At every state of emergency declared in Nigeria, Tinubu condemned it who is the hypocrite

We all agreed Fubara did wrong But the supreme court judgement as consolidated and cured it ... moving forward lo kan

Bwtween Fubara and Wike who is said there cant be peace on National Tv, but Tinubu fold his arms n watch
the bomb blast they used as an excuse to snatch rivers where are the evidences or investigation that depict national asset were destroyed

it is a shame on Nigerian, Wike wants to make Rivers his personal property ... Tinubu should go n ask his predecessors Pharoah, Adedebu, and Abacha in hell

It was so wrong for militants to blow pipelines in protest against Fg and Wike. Fubara believes in violence if not he won't have demolished house of assembly for stupid reason,he could have also rebuke the militants publicly for threatening to blow the pipelines.
What did he expect Fg to do after blowing up the pipelines ? To clap for him?

so after "protecting" the governor from impeachment, why is tinubu not "protecting" the allocation of rivers state but giving his sole administrator access to the states funds?

Re: Rivers: Tinubu Used Pipeline Attack As Pretext For Emergency Rule — PANDEF by IgOga(m): 9:46am On Mar 21, 2025

Fubara literarily said publicly that he will signal the youths when the violence is to commence

It was clear that the Rivers State House of Assembly will impeach Fubara and there will be violence

When the first 2 pipeline incidents happened, the president said the governor did not call him to request for security or even report the incident.....indicating the governor may have directed it himself.

The president's rationale is that Rivers State may soon enter a phase of civil war between Ikwere and Ijaws and discussing with his security chiefs and the leaders in the national assembly invoked the state of emergency.

Justification will be debatable but the utterances from the governor and the determination of the Rivers House of Assembly is a sure path to destruction.....and if oil if affected Nigeria's economy will go further down...it is a national security issue

Truely some of the dumbest peolple live in Nigeria. Like if there was gonna be chaos in Rivers, state of Emergency would be the cause.
The said pipeline that was blown started working the next day. Hmm
