I agree with Peter Obi completely. That was a slap on democracy. |

You politicians are all the same,no one is saint amongst you guys |

Xbox2005:This is the biggest lie in Nigeria. We know who is clean and who is a thief from their pasts. Peter Obi has kept all his promises 100% |
| Re: Rivers: Tinubu's Emergency Rule Will Hurt Democracy For A Long Time - Obi by PlasmaTV: 10:24am On Sep 18, 2025 |
I agree 100%. As I said before, in the coming years, a president who doesn't like Lagos state governor can yank him out and install his preferred puppet. Tinubu and Wike caused this. And they have set a terrible precedent. |

Xbox2005:The stiff belief that Mercedes is the same quality of car as Bajaj is what has kept this country in ruins. People who performed excellently should be rewarded with positions of authority. If not, you remain in this situation in Nigeria. |

vanbonattel:That's your view,which you are allowed to have your opinion,but as for me,l have not seen any outstanding politician among this present day politicians.its just a case of my devil is better than yours,that's what you are guys are doing. |

Xbox2005:But after tasting the terribly poor performance of this government, do you believe anyone could be worse than this guy in power? |
| Re: Rivers: Tinubu's Emergency Rule Will Hurt Democracy For A Long Time - Obi by Xbox2005(m): 10:38am On Sep 18, 2025 |
vanbonattel:my guy,I am apolitical,they are all the same to me.Its just a matter of turn by turn,they don't have the interest of the masses at heart. |

Xbox2005:Some do. I assure you that some people care about the people, no pretence. |

They have started again. Fubara I hope you won't allow them to fool you again. I bet you are wiser now.

Xbox2005:Obi Obasanjo Jonathan Chime Ambode |
| Re: Rivers: Tinubu's Emergency Rule Will Hurt Democracy For A Long Time - Obi by Xbox2005(m): 11:04am On Sep 18, 2025 |
vanbonattel:I swear to me they are just average politicians.let me start from the top as you mentioned.l was in Anambra state when obi ruled as a governor,I know the kind of backlash and criticism he received as a governor cos I was in onitcha, sokoto Rd precisely. Obasanjo who introduced money bag politics trying to buy third term,if not for the resilience of Abba ghali the then HOR oga,also it was under his nose most of the privatisation that happened in Nigeria. Jonathan had opportunity for the fact that we hard a favourably oil price increased during his time, but he was clueless and indifferent to a lot of issues which leads to the sorry state interms of insecurities e.g the Boko Haram issues,he was not tough enough to go against the saboteurs in his government. Chime,I don't know much about his own government as at the time when he ruled,so I can't say much about him. Ambode is also an average politician,he was also seen as a weak governor although,he tried to perform but due to the forces that brought him in,they cut short his stays. |

Obviously this will set a very bad preceedent before election i will not be surprised if this tactics will be used in future by some presidents to pause governors they know will not rig for them send in another Ibas to rig for them Nigeria is gone |

All i know as a Yoruba man, one day, someone from another region will declare state of emergency in Lagos and other parts of Nigeria and nothing will happen. When I see people justifying the aberration committed by Tinubu in suspending an elected governor, I always tell them that Tinubu will not be President forever. |

Dis nation eh, if u say d truth, they call u bigot, if I were Obi, I'll just let Nigeria be abeg.....it's now official, integrity doesn't pay in Nigeria |

So Obi would allow the two factions to start war burn oil wells. Kill innocent people because of a Wike vs Fubara war. This is why Labour Party is in disarray no foresight |

What can Tinubu say he achieved with the needless emergency rule if not chaos and corruption? |

I agree with Peter obi on this, as a lawyer this is called a precedent, since no court could upturn this disgrace, obj did it against ladoja, but the Supreme Court upturned it, now the same Supreme Court went silent in fubaras case meaning that I can be president tomorrow and even remove 5 governors on grounds of emergency rule. No wahala |

Of course! Military rule is an abberation in constitutional democracy. The illegality some in Rivers State is a template that has been set for posterity |

vanbonattel:Which promise. He is a bigot who lies effortlessly. Have he sue people's gazette and deji adeyanju. Someone because of desperation is busy romancing the structure of criminality he vowed to dismantle in 2023. He will never become president and so he should go and rest. |
