Yes, like the promise he made to Ikemba of Nnewi never to leave APGA.
Obi did not intentionally leave APGA, APGA cannot give him the needed vehicle to go for the post of President and at the same time Obiano was against Obi. Is like promising to remain in marriage for better for worse. But where your life is being threatened will you remain there.

Obi just dey open mouth to vomit rubbish
So the government should wait till the chaos escalated to something terrible before acting?
The president called the 2 waring parties for a meeting with no success, he had to take the drastic decision in the interest of the state and the country at large.
NB-: Some states are more important than the others in relation to the economy of the nation .

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%
Imagine! 100% this shows you are equally a big liar like him and every other politician.

We Yoruba can’t allow violence to occur.. It’s because rivers allow violence to occur in their state…. So blame rivers for that more so Tinubu took a great decision to save Fubara ass abi waiting Uba Dey call una Gov.. if not so wike and boys would have impeach me get the fact right…
That's the fact? Well I ask you these
How many persons died as a result of Wike and Fubara's issue? How many died from herdsmen/ farmer clashes.

Why was Fubara who was "elected" democratically suspended and Wike who is an "appointed aide" applauded by Tinubu.

So there hasnt been violence in the south west and never will be right? So if in future there is, the president should do same to the governor of the western state?

My issue isnt with this particular case, it lies in the evil presidence it ll set because this is just the begining of suspension for opposition governors.

. Don't worry,obi only said that such template maybe used to remove a Yoruba state governor when another president takes the mantle.

Lagos state house of assembly impeached Obasa the speaker constitutionally and what did your thin god do, He override them and returned Obasa in clear violation of our constitution

Relax your mind, you yorubas have set a precedent that will be used to checkmate your influence in Lagos state. Enjoy the power while it lasts

Imqgine listing Amabode as doing well ignoring Fashola. The best governor in Nigeria since 1999.
You should know why naw. They only started liking Ambode after his alleged fallout with Tinubu. I remember most of them used to call him “omo baba” and all sorts of derogatory names when he was governor

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
You don't declare state of emergency in a State over two cases that consign not the indigenes but two people where one is greedy...

Inshort the President shouldn't ward in in such matters but to use the Army and soldiers and also the court against whoever is found destroying or causing havoc in the State...

But the problem is that the person causing the havoc feels he has sacrificed his integrity, his life for the course of stay of the President, so making the President a weakling than a President....

Inshort any President that comes into Office from manipulations and rigging and whatever have you, can't decide on this kind of matter, that's why he ruled against the Government that he is in charge because he didn't get his mandate from the masses but from few he is loyal to see he makes happy...

This is why Yoruba Muslims love Wike because they know Wike dropped the cloth of honour, integrity and selflessness to serve their god and Master ....

When Wike single handedly picked Fubara to be the governor of Rivers State. did he ask for your opinion?

yes some have the masses at heart but climbing the leadership position, they are misguided and his initial plan is been tampered. Can you handle Nigerian problem as a president?
Re: Rivers: Tinubu's Emergency Rule Will Hurt Democracy For A Long Time - Obi by 43Ronin: 2:41pm On Sep 18, 2025
I like tinubu, he's got balls. This is exactly what GEJ should have done in Lagos during the occupy naija protest in 2012- Send soldiers to scare away the protesters, remove the subsidy & impose a Solad in Lagos. Use the solar to conduct LGA elections where PDP would win, use EFCC to chase all them obasa around till they flee cooperate or sleep in EFCC. Nobody fit fight FG

That is your opinion and you are entitled to it the very same way he is entitled to his so stop forcing your opinion down another person's throat by quoting on and off.

but obi not conducting local government election for 7 years and 10 months was not a slap on democracy?

Tinubu performed Excellently as former governor of Lagos which was why he was able to defeat Obi and Atiku who performed poorly and shamelessly in their respective states.
Obi beat tinubu in Lagos and Osun

Home and away.

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.
If you are defending a beg defend well, I bet you guys don't even know what is good governance. I was in Lagos during the era of Ambode you are defending. He turned clean Lagos to heap of garbage, dirty everywhere, he abandoned road maintenance, all the roads went from good to bad. is that what you are defending? In fact, I voted ambode, unfortunately, he didn't perform up to expectations. Sorry this response is meant for the guy defending them
