Lol...Now that this vagabond has been expelled from the PDP, and his Ibadan Amala Kanifa nullified by the court, where will he go next? SamGift0817: |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXEaaHi26CU There is this political vagabond and harlot in Ibadan. He is only loyal to his personal political interests and he his always ready to sacrifice anything, including friendship. In 2007 when he sought PDP ticket to contest for Senate and he couldn't get it, he went to ANPP. In 2015 when he sought PDP ticket to contest for Governor and he could get it, he went to SDP. Now that this vagabond has been expelled from the PDP, and his Ibadan Amala Kanifa nullified by the court, where will he go next?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXEaaHi26CU Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has launched a blistering attack on the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, describing him as a “vagabond” in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and accusing him of interfering in the party’s affairs in Oyo State despite what he called Wike’s failure to strengthen the PDP in Rivers State. Makinde made the remarks during a public address in Ibadan, shortly after Wike expressed interest in the activities of the Oyo State chapter of the PDP. The comments were delivered at a PDP event, which coincided with activities marking the 50th anniversary of Oyo State and the commissioning of a new party secretariat. Invoking a Yoruba proverb, Makinde said a seemingly peaceful household often remains so because the “vagabond” within it has not yet matured, before applying the analogy to the PDP’s internal crisis. “The vagabonds in the PDP, they grew up in 2015. They had their time—ten years, a whole decade—and they practised their vagabondism in the PDP. But they were expelled in November 2025,” Makinde said. He directly named Wike, adding, “Nyesom Wike is a vagabond who surfaced fully in 2015 and was expelled in 2025. Ask him what he has done with the PDP in Rivers State to now have an interest in Oyo PDP.” Makinde also acknowledged that he had previously aligned with Wike’s faction, particularly in the period leading up to the 2023 general elections, but said he had since distanced himself from the group. “Let me confess, I came into government in 2019, and towards 2023, I was yoked with them. But now I have repented. I am now born again,” the governor said, drawing applause from supporters at the event. He stressed that he would not allow the PDP to be used to advance the interests of another political party, a remark widely interpreted as a reference to alleged cross-party manoeuvres ahead of the 2027 elections. The exchange highlights the deepening rift between Makinde and Wike, who were once close allies and prominent members of the influential G5 governors’ bloc within the PDP. Tensions escalated further after Wike, on February 2, 2026, declared his interest in the “survival, stability and success” of the Oyo PDP, a statement seen by many party observers as a challenge to Makinde’s leadership of the state chapter. Makinde maintained that the internal crisis rocking the PDP had been resolved following the expulsion of key figures he accused of fomenting unrest within the party. Recalling events at the party’s elective national convention held in Ibadan on November 16, 2025, Makinde said the PDP expelled Wike, former Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, and the party’s embattled National Secretary, Samuel Anyanwu, over actions deemed inimical to the party’s unity. “In Yoruba land, we always say that if you see a house or a compound that is peaceful, the vagabond in that house has not grown up,” Makinde said. “But they have now been expelled. So there are no more vagabonds in the PDP.” He added that those expelled were now “wearing rags, dancing in the midnight,” insisting that the PDP had regained control of its affairs and was focused on rebuilding ahead of future elections... https://voicenews.com.ng/i-was-yoked-with-the-vagabond-towards-2023-election-seyi-makinde/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylnx-E1W_cA Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has condemned the Rivers State Government for denying access to the Yakubu Gowon Stadium for a political rally, describing the action as unprecedented and politically motivated. Speaking at the event, Wike said organisers had formally applied to use the facility but were turned down by the state government. “We applied to the state government to use the Yakubu Gowon Stadium, and they refused. Next time, if we apply and they refuse again, we will break it, and nothing will happen,” he said. Wike boasted that Rivers State was setting the pace in political mobilisation and would continue to lead other states in openly demonstrating support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. “I know after today, other states may inaugurate their own structures, but Rivers State will always lead the way. Support is not by mouth; we have shown commitment with action,” he added. The former Rivers State governor declared that political activities ahead of future elections had officially commenced, noting that ward-level inaugurations would soon follow. “I told you that by January, we would start playing politics. This is January, and we have started. If you don’t give us the venue, we will break it,” Wike reiterated. He also questioned the commitment of the Rivers State Government to President Tinubu’s re-election bid ahead of the 2027 general elections, suggesting that political rewards are tied to loyalty and visible support. “You cannot have a governor in the state while we are openly declaring support for President Tinubu, and you are not aligning. How then do you expect a reward?” he asked. According to Wike, political rewards are based on commitment rather than financial contributions. “You don’t need N600 billion. All you need is commitment. That is what brings reward, even if it brings envy,” he said. Wike further disclosed that the rally was a coalition effort and thanked President Tinubu for backing the Ijaw coalition in producing candidates for the February 21 by-elections in Khana Constituency II and Ahoada West Constituency II. He urged supporters to turn out en masse to vote, promising logistical support for mobilisation. “By February 21, go out and vote. We will provide the buses and ensure proper mobilisation for the Renewed Hope agenda,” he said. Also speaking at the event, Senator George Sekibo assured President Tinubu of Rivers State’s continued support, expressing gratitude for federal appointments and ongoing projects in the state. “No President has embarked on projects of this magnitude while also appointing Rivers indigenes. Tell the President we are grateful,” Sekibo said. The rally comes amid growing political tensions in Rivers State as alignments and mobilisations intensify ahead of the 2027 elections. https://voicenews.com.ng/wike-condemns-denial-of-stadium-access-declares-start-of-political-activities-in-rivers/ I have told the Rivers State Coordinator of the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, write again to the State Government, choose a date for the inauguration of the Ward Executive and if they refuse, we will break it by force, we will do the needful. Nobody can deny us the use of facilities that belongs to Rivers State. Heaven will not fall, even if heaven falls, everywhere will be at peaceNyesom Wike

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pr9_Xskk_U Ali Ndume, former Senate Leader and senator representing Borno South, has raised concerns over alleged discrepancies in the tax reform laws recently signed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, accusing the federal government of treating Nigerians with levity. Speaking amid ongoing controversies surrounding the legislation, Ndume said Taiwo Oyedele, chairman of the Presidential Committee on Tax Reforms, had acknowledged the existence of “differentials” in the law. According to him, Oyedele admitted that there were at least two versions of the tax reform law and that any corrective action would have to be undertaken by the National Assembly. “Even the chairman of the presidential committee on tax reform, Taiwo Oyedele, admitted that there are differentials, two versions, or at least two versions of the tax law, and that if something has to be done, it has to be the National Assembly,” Ndume said. Reacting to claims by Senate President Godswill Akpabio that there were no discrepancies in the tax laws, Ndume dismissed the position as a personal opinion. He insisted that his own findings, as well as the concerns raised by members of the House of Representatives, had not been denied. “That is his opinion, and as for me, I did a lot of research on it, and the House of Reps member raised that matter, and they didn’t deny it,” he said. Ndume further disclosed that the House of Representatives is still investigating the matter, stressing that his primary concern is the lack of transparency in governance. He warned against decisions being taken behind closed doors, describing Nigeria as a democracy that must be accountable to its citizens. “My problem is not whether there are discrepancies or not; I am worried about doing things behind closed doors. This is government of the people, for the people, and by the people,” he stated. The Borno South senator called on the leadership of the National Assembly to address the issue openly, adding that lawmakers should be free to express dissenting views without being labelled as rebels. “I called on the leadership to say, ‘look, there is a problem here, because what we passed is not what the president signed’,” he said. Ndume warned that the alleged discrepancies should not be ignored, noting that laws enacted under disputed circumstances could be challenged in court. He argued that contradictions surrounding the tax reforms could undermine their credibility and effectiveness. “This is not something they can just bury, because the way they are going about it is full of contradiction and controversy,” he said. He also dismissed claims that the tax reforms were already being implemented, insisting that implementation would be impossible while multiple versions of the law remained in circulation. “As I told you, there are different versions out there, so which one do they implement?” Ndume asked. Accusing the government of personalising national issues, Ndume warned that failure to resolve the matter could have serious consequences. https://voicenews.com.ng/ndume-raises-alarm-over-alleged-discrepancies-in-tinubus-tax-reform-laws/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvn-7PKH4Zs A light and humorous moment unfolded in Akwa Ibom State when Governor Umo Eno publicly chided a foreign contractor for presenting architectural drawings of a mortuary before showing plans for the hospital he was commissioned to build. The incident occurred during an official project review session, where the contractor began his presentation with detailed layouts of a mortuary facility. Midway into the briefing, Governor Eno interjected, drawing laughter from officials and onlookers as he questioned the logic of prioritising a mortuary over the hospital itself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmkctXUggo4 Nigerian comedian and actor Bovi Ugboma has delivered a passionate and hard-hitting message to the Super Eagles following their exit from the Africa Cup of Nations, urging players to understand the immense national responsibility that comes with representing Nigeria. Bovi made the remarks in a video shared on Instagram on Thursday, reacting to Nigeria’s 4–2 penalty shootout defeat to hosts Morocco in the AFCON semi-final in Rabat, a result that ended the team’s title hopes. According to the entertainer, football remains Nigeria’s strongest unifying force, cutting across religion, politics, and ethnicity. “If there is anything that unites Nigeria as a nation, it’s football. Mark my words,” Bovi said. “Football is the only thing that brings Muslims and Christians, North, South, East and West together.” Addressing both current and aspiring Super Eagles players, Bovi stressed that choosing to play for Nigeria comes with enormous responsibility, regardless of challenges within the football system. https://voicenews.com.ng/bovi-warns-super-eagles-against-personal-glory-says-football-has-power-to-unite-nigeria/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjyRY6ZGUCg Former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has weighed in on the crisis rocking oil-rich state, saying only fasting and prayers can save Governor Siminalayi Fubara. Fayose advised Fubara to reconcile with his estranged political godfather and predecessor, Nyesom Wike, who now serves as the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. “Many prayers would be said to save Fubara. So many fasts and prayers would be the only thing that would save Fubara in this one,” Fayose said. Fubara and the Rivers State House of Assembly have been at loggerheads over the governor’s inability to present the 2026 budget. The lawmakers have initiated impeachment proceedings against the governor, accusing him of spending the state’s funds without approval from the parliament. Most of the Rivers lawmakers are loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, who is campaigning against Fubara’s re-election. Wike had accused Fubara of reneging on the peace agreement they both signed before President Bola Tinubu lifted the emergency rule in Rivers, paving the way for his return to office.

Activist lawyer and public commentator, Deji Adeyanju, has criticised the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, accusing him of dishonesty and claiming that he has lost political relevance. Adeyanju made the remarks while reacting to a viral post in which another political commentator questioned Obi’s credibility over statements he made during the last general election. The exchange has since reignited debate on social media, drawing sharp reactions from both supporters and critics of the former Anambra State governor. In his comments, Adeyanju alleged that Obi had repeatedly misled Nigerians and advised former Vice President Atiku Abubakar not to consider him for any future political arrangement, including a possible vice-presidential role. “Obi lies for a living, so stop worrying yourself about him. He is no longer relevant in the scheme of things. Atiku shouldn’t even consider giving him the VP slot,” Adeyanju wrote. He also referenced Obi’s past association with the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), recalling that the former governor had once pledged not to leave the party but later defected. According to Adeyanju, the move further demonstrated what he described as Obi’s political inconsistency... https://voicenews.com.ng/obi-no-longer-politically-relevant-lies-habitually-adeyanju/
