SMH
Unfortunately this is not a proper way to articulate your opinions. You are too crude and rude. Remember I told you to take it easy. This is an online forum, not a boxing ring.

By the way, it is called IQ, not highQ

Ire o!

richiemcgold:
Oga take it easy na. Wike himself ascerted in this report that he made behind the scenes moves to block allocations of Adeleke's government. If you are blind, not everyone is.

richiemcgold:
No wonder wike was once accused of sabotaging the government of Gov. Adeleke of osun state.

This is PDP to PDP o! What anti-party can be more than this?

The trillions of naira debt by NNPC that was cancelled by Tinubu.

Tinubu and his boys has finished this country.

Tinubu gave Lagos a poverty rate of 69%. That's why he's replicating same on national scale. Many tribes never knew the meaning of ebinpawa till Tinubu went into the presidential seat.

Ttalk:
I expect Obidients to come up with facts and prove Reno wrong. Let them show that the. account number presented by Reno as Obi's fraud bank account is fake.

They should tell us Obi didn't invest state money in the bank to yield profit and show how Obi build Schools and hospitals better than other states in the SE.

That's how you convince people and not the intimidation, abuse and insult they throw on SM.

Reno Omokri is lying machine for Tinubu

Reno Omokri challenged anyone to debunk his statement that poverty level doubled in Anambra during Peter Obi's tenure as Governor of Anambra state. He offered a prize of Naira equivalent of 10,000 dollars.

A twitter user has debunked the claim by Reno Omokri and Reno has not responded since 2024.

Now notice how Reno Omokri didn't mention poverty level doubled this time around. He is now saying it was a 29.7% increase.

Please how is 53.7%- 41.4 %= 29.7%?

Reno Omokri can't even do simple maths.



Tinubu was governor from 1999-2007.
From the NBS report of 2003-04 when Tinubu was still governor, poverty rate in Lagos was 69.4%.

Tinubu gave Lagos a poverty rate of 69.4%. No wonder he's replicating same on national level

Ttalk:
My grouse with Obi is painting a picture of who he's not. It is open secret that you represent the worst version of a Nigerian politician, nonetheless, you go about portraying different colour when you are stench with filth and dirt.

In governance, your performance was poor, in corruption, you top table, someone who cannot manage small Anambra want to manage Nigeria

My name is Reno Omokri. If I am lying, I challenge you, Peter Obi, to sue me.

Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bayelsa State, under the leadership of Governor Douye Diri, yesterday, endorsed President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.

At a special stakeholders meeting of the party convened by Diri at the DSP Alamieyeseigha Banquet Hall in Yenagoa, the Senator representing Bayelsa Central, Dr Konbowei Benson, moved the endorsement motion, which was seconded by a former Speaker of the House of Assembly and former deputy governor, Peremobowei Ebebi.

Chairman of the new caretaker committee of the party, Dr Dennis Otiotio; Senator representing Bayelsa East, Benson Agadaga; the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri; Managing Director, Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Dr Sam Ogbuku; Managing Director, Niger Delta Basin Development Authority, Prince Ebitimi Amgbare, as well as the ex officio member (South South) of the APC National Working Committee (NWC), Godbless Diriware, were among stakeholders at the well-attended meeting.

It was the first expanded meeting convened by the governor since becoming a member and leader of the party in the state in October 2025.

Diri expressed delight that the Bayelsa APC, as one big family, has resolved to work together to deliver Tinubu for another term.

He underscored the need for members to imbibe the spirit of forgiveness, humility and rise above politics of bitterness and divisive tendencies for the sake of peace, development and progress of the state.

Diri also urged members to play by the rules and engage in politics of consultation, stating that those interested in political offices in the next election should shelve their ambitions for now.

He said: “Here we are today in a very big family of the APC. Let me use this opportunity to appreciate the old members of the party for the reception accorded to me and other Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) members who crossed over. It was a welcome like no other.

Also, former Niger Delta militant leader and activist, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, has pledged support for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, and Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Asari-Dokubo, now a paramount Ruler in Degema Local Council Area of Rivers State, pledged when Wike paid him a courtesy visit at his residence in Degema.

Expressing appreciation for the visit, Asari-Dokubo said Wike stood by him during difficult periods of his life, stressing that it was time to reciprocate the gesture.

Recalling his past struggles, he said, “As far back as 1992, I did not imagine I would be what I am today. You are my friend, and whatever is going to happen, I will stand by you to ensure success.”

Earlier, Wike explained that his visit to Degema was part of efforts to sensitise the people of the area on the decision of his political family to support Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, adding that it was also important to pay him a courtesy visit.

Meanwhile, the Rivers Elders Council has also endorsed Tinubu for a second term under the platform of the “Renewed Hope Family,” an initiative championed by Wike.

Chairman of the council, Ferdinand Alabraba, declared the endorsement during Wike’s “thank-you” visit to Akuku-Toru Local Council Area of the state.

Former Kano State governor, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau, has dismissed claims that Governor Abba Yusuf would be guilty of betrayal should he defect from the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), insisting that political realignments are personal decisions shaped by prevailing circumstances and consultations with followers.

Shekarau, in an interview with an online platform, DCL Hausa, faulted recent remarks by the leader of the NNPP, Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso, who suggested that Yusuf should relinquish his mandate if he leaves the party.

According to the former governor, such a position contradicts established political precedents, including actions previously taken by Kwankwaso himself while in office.

“I listened to some of my brother Kwankwaso’s remarks. To me, Kwankwaso has either forgotten what happened in the past or he thought people have forgotten,” Shekarau said.

He recalled that Kwankwaso defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) during his tenure as Kano State governor without vacating the governorship seat.

“When he was in PDP, he left with the governorship seat to APC. Why didn’t he drop it for PDP? The way he took PDP’s seat to APC is likely the same way Abba will take the NNPP seat to APC,” he added.

Shekarau argued that if such actions are now considered offensive, then the precedent had already been set long ago.

The former governor also revisited events surrounding the formation of the NNPP in Kano, attributing his eventual exit from the party to unresolved disagreements over power-sharing arrangements.

He said that after he and Kwankwaso left the APC for the NNPP, several meetings were held in Abuja and Kano to agree on the sharing of elective positions and appointments among stakeholders.

A committee was subsequently constituted to work out the formula, with Governor Yusuf appointed chairman because he was to secure the governorship ticket.

“Abba spent about three months without delivering the assignment. Suddenly, a list came out and there was no single person from our side except me,” Shekarau said, adding that Kwankwaso openly queried the development in his presence.

According to him, the failure to resolve the matter led him and his supporters to set up a 30-man committee, which eventually recommended their exit from the NNPP.

“I rejected the arrangement because I could not take a senatorial ticket alone while my people got nothing,” he stated.

Shekarau maintained that political decisions, including defection, should not automatically be framed as betrayal, stressing that leaders often act after wide consultations and in what they consider the best interest of their followers.

“In life, one chooses for himself. If you have tangible reasons and the people you are with are okay with it, that is all,” he said.

He concluded that Governor Yusuf should be allowed to make his choice without being demonised, noting that Kwankwaso himself had defected severally — from the PDP to APC, back to PDP, and later to the NNPP.

[b]“If Abba has his own reasons and those around him agree, I don’t see any betrayal here,” Shekarau added.

What manner of entitlement is this? Is the presidential ticket is birthright?

President Trump threatened to intervene on behalf of the protesters, saying,

“We are locked and loaded and ready to go.”

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded by saying "Iran will not yield to the enemy.”

You go soon change mouth, just a matter of time.

The Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, Lere Olayinka, has mocked the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ajibola Basiru, over interference in Rivers State politics.

In a post on his Facebook page, Olayinka said Basiru, who failed to secure the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship ticket in Osun State, wants to wade into the political tussle in Rivers State.

According to Olayinka, Wike’s influence will secure more votes for President Bola Tinubu in Osun State than Basiru.

He said, “Someone that wanted an APC Governorship ticket, but couldn’t get it.

“Na him wan come another State come help another person.

“In Osun State, Wike’s influence will still give President Tinubu more votes than Ajibola Basiru.

“Wike’s message to Ajibola Basiru is simple.

“Dey your dey, make I dey my dey. No dey do cho cho cho come Rivers. Make he no carry his shoulder enter another man’s territory.

“Politics is local, it is grassroots based.

“In 2023, as a serving Senator and Spokesperson of the Senate, Ajibola Basiru lost his re-election bid.

“You wey no fit win your own election as a serving senator and Senate Spokesperson, na you go come Rivers come help person?

“But make Mr Ajibola Basiru use that shoulder wey him dey carry up and down to bring all parties in Osun State together for President Tinubu, the way Wike has done in Rivers State first.”
