The problem of Rivers is not with your successor but you yourself you are the problem, take your eyes off Rivers and concentrate on Abuja and Rivers will be normal again
My friend resign and stop being a public nuisance, were you not part of the previous government, when ever these people want to embezzle they will always fabricate lies against their predecessor in order to diverts people's attention from them
EreluRoz: I don't like anything about this Igboho and what makes him a celebrity and what nonsense Yoruba nation is he fighting for? Who sent him? Who is he?
Let him continue his fake liberation jamboree after 4 years he will become a cat again and run to Benin Republic,
PrinceOfLagos: See the CBN building in Lagos that Sen. Ali Ndume wants to remain empty just to avoid political consequences.
Did we built this gigantic building with money from the federal government coffers for rats and mosquitoes to occupy them?
Are we really serious people in this country ?
Shame on Ali Ndume
That is not what we are saying, in this world of insecurity a CBN building standing in a congested street with no perimeter fencing and a keke napep parked few centimeters from the main gate, is an economic sabotage, no document is safe in that your massive building you are promoting talk less of a nation's money, get this right and stop being sentimental
Shame on bola Tinubu for making the north think that they are more important than other region of the country .
Nemere2020: The Tinubu-led FG has relocated the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria Headquarters from Abuja to Lagos.
All these relocation relocations, if Tinubu wants he can relocate the Aso Rock villa to Lagos, all we know is that after 4 years they will still be brought back to the North
Look at this lunatic, foolishly comparing a man collecting few wraps of dollar bills and putting it into his pocket with a CBN governor who is ditching out millions of dollars in bullion van, acquiring 4 of the most established banks in the nation to be his personal property, you people are too sentimental
You guys should keep deceiving yourselves. Did Emefiele open any account in the name of GODWIN EMEFIELE? Did he collect interest in any account in his name or did he hedge against currency depreciation?
Stop writing rubbish here, if you don't have anything to contribute go and stiff your gbamuru and sleep. They are talking of the brazing destruction of the national economy by a useless idiot and you you are trying to bring in sentiment
This corrupt lawyer will find it very irritating to wait for another 4 years before the next set of election cases to come up, so he has to be digging dead and buried cases and coarse his would be victims to go to court so that he can suck them dry.
SadEast419: Obi came third in the just c0ncluded presidential election while Atiku came second. By 2027 atiku will be 82years meaning he w0n't be able to contest again. Do you this this will pave way for obi to gain more supporters? What if PDP choose their presidential candidate for SE, do you think most of his supporter for that region will follow him?
Even if the constitution should give a waiver to Peter Obi to contest for third term in Anambra State governorship election 2027, he will fail woefully
as for me, a political party who does not pratice grassroot politic will continue to fail. therefore obi need to go back to PDP to claim his mandate. It will be hard for non apc or pdp candidate to win a presidential election in nigeria.
inoki247: Lol wetin this Taraba dey even contribute....
You hardly hear any News Abt dem contributing anything...
See what this one is vomiting out, you will just be sitting down in your thatched house in your muddy village and be writing rubbish, just for record sake, if you ever do eat cow meat, over 70% of the meat you are consuming is coming from Taraba state, and that is the same trend for other food items you consumed
I don't agree with you on the education policy, no amount of investment done on education is a waste, even before the advent of Kefas's free education policy most schools lack basic infrastructures, in the state university and colleges students normally received lectures from the windows of their lecture theater, so the fact that there are two hundred pupils in a class receiving lesson, which I doubt anyway, does not make the policy a wasteful venture, what this governor need in that sector is prayers and encouragement, we should not be unmindful of the smile he has put on the faces of the less privileged who ordinarily would not have had the opportunity of being in school
FreeStuffsNG: Gov Hope Uzodinma pushed for Lawan emergence as APC consensus presidential candidate, alleges Lukman
08 November 2023
From the former director general of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), Dr Salihu Lukman came the startling revelation that Governor Hope Uzodinma worked assiduously for the emergence of the former Senate President Ahmed Lawan as the consensus presidential candidate of the ruling All progressive congress (APC) in the build up to the 2023 poll.
Lukman, in a piece titled “Agonising Experience of Being APC Member Message to APC Leaders” expressed surprise that Uzodinma is among those in the good books of President Tinubu.
Lukman who was the immediate past national vice chairman North West of the APC claimed that he was among party leaders that rose to the occasion and resisted the attempt to impose a Presidential candidate on the party.
He further claimed that even after that, forces of reaction within the APC attempted to both sabotage and undermine the electoral prospect of the APC and all its candidates, especially Asiwaju Tinubu who was the Presidential candidate.
“I am not making any claim and I am not demanding anything extraordinary. My expectation is that President Asiwaju Tinubu and all his appointees, especially those saddled with the responsibility of managing his relationship with party leaders and members, should do so with humility and respect to other party leaders and members,” he said.
” As things are, it would have been more rewarding if one had been antagonistic, or opportunistic to the person of President Asiwaju Tinubu. When, for instance, party leaders who were boisterously opposed to the Presidential ambition of President Asiwaju Tinubu are today appointees in the Federal Government, and in the case of Governors such as Sen. Hope Uzodinma, who financed the attempt to manipulate the emergence of Sen. Ahmed Lawan as the consensus Presidential candidate of APC, emerging as the Chairman of Progressive Governors beat the imagination of every founding leader of APC, and in every respect heartbreaking.”
The Kaduna born politician remarked that it was incumbent on President Tinubu to live up to the expectation of returning the APC to its founding vision of becoming a truly progressive party.
Lukman who is on verge of concluding work on his book detailing his experience in the APC disclosed that he had met with Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, Chief Bisi Akande, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun and Comrade Adams Oshiomhole who all chaired the party between 2014 to date on the way forward for the party.
He expressed concern over the antic of party faithful and officials in the corridors of the presidency hell-bent on stopping him from accessing President Tinubu to write the Foreword to on his book aimed at righting the wrongs in the party.
He noted: “Disappointingly, we are getting to a point whereby, once you are marked as someone whose views are not in agreement with the priorities of elected leaders, access is blocked.
“As things are, work on the manuscript APC and Transition Politics has been concluded and I am confronted with a brick wall. Access to both President Asiwaju Tinubu, Dr. Ganduje and many of the appointees close to them is hardly available.
“It is my hope that President Asiwaju Tinubu will write the Foreword. It is also my hope that both President Asiwaju Tinubu and all our elected and appointed representatives today, will always remember that the struggle to reform the APC and return it to its founding vision predates the emergence of President Asiwaju Tinubu as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. If anything, President Asiwaju Tinubu provided leadership to that struggle and deservedly, he is today the main beneficiary.
“Therefore, let it be known, blocking access to President Asiwaju Tinubu, or refusal of President Asiwaju Tinubu to be accessible will not end the struggle for the reform of APC. Both President Asiwaju Tinubu and all his appointees must recognise that, indeed, reforming the APC is an integral part of the struggle for the development of Nigerian democracy.”
Continuing, he stressed: “Eight years after, we are still on the starting line. APC is becoming more and more a replica of PDP with all the negative attributes. We have spent eight years under former President Buhari motionless, in terms developing the needed initiatives for party building. Are we also going to experience another era of zero initiative for party building under the leadership of President Asiwaju Tinubu? Where is then the claim of being progressives? Where then is the justification or any link to being an awoist?
“It is no doubt agonising and troubling that President Asiwaju Tinubu is starting his leadership tenure of APC by sending a very strong disturbing signal that reforming the APC is not his priority. Because reforming the APC is not his priority, out of all the leadership materials available to the party, Dr. Ganduje is his best candidate.
“Having achieved producing Dr. Ganduje as the National Chairman, whether party organs are functioning or not, it is not President Asiwaju Tinubu’s headache. It was also the reason why even if the emergence of Dr. Ganduje meant marginalisation of the people from North Central in both the party and the Federal Government, it is not important.
“Perhaps, we need to remind President Asiwaju Tinubu and all APC leaders about Frantz Fanon’s timeless warning to the effect that ‘Each generation must, out of relative obscurity discover its mission, fulfill it, or betray it.’ President Asiwaju Tinubu and all APC leaders must be reminded about that APC founding mission of changing Nigerian politics, which is basically about internal reforms within our parties to facilitate the emergence of candidates for electoral contest through democratic means.
“President Asiwaju Tinubu and all APC leaders must not indulge themselves to imagine that simple defeat of PDP and producing former President Buhari and now President Asiwaju Tinubu as Presidents of the Federal Republic of Nigeria equates to the political change Nigerians are desirous of.
“So long as APC will allow a situation that could be interpreted to mean consolidating the old political paradigm that promote lack of accountability and imposition of leadership, it means betrayal of the founding mission of APC.
“We can deceive ourselves to imagine that we can continue to succeed in emerging victorious in elections and successful leaders surround themselves with sycophants who only tell them what they want to hear, it will not change the reality of betrayal and it will not protect leaders.”
*Coalition to embark on "a reclaim Nigeria Diaspora protest" around world
About 30 different Nigerian diaspora organizations under the aegis of Coalition of New Nigeria Diaspora Movement (CNNDM) has said it will embark on "a reclaim Nigeria Diaspora protest" around the world to expose President Bola Tinubu and demand his immediate resignation.
The group also demanded the European Union, United Kingdom, United States of America and others, to as a matter of urgency, place visa bans on all the Justices and Judges of the Appeal and Supreme Courts who gave the judgements that legalized Bola Tinubu as President of Nigeria, adding that the Visa ban should also be extended to their families.
Addressing a press conference Monday, Secretary General of the coalition, Jackson Ude, said CNNDM has also agreed to help mobilize and support any group in Nigeria to join the movement and the 30 days mass protests of reclaiming Nigeria.
Ude said "In our determination to save Nigeria’s democracy, deepen democratic institutions and values, protect our shared common interests and protect the integrity of our country, the leadership of 30 different Nigerian diaspora organizations concluded a meeting that began one week ago to review the sham judgement of the Supreme Court of Nigeria on October 26, 2023, and demand that Bola Tinubu must resign to save the integrity of the Nigeria’s presidency.
"It is our believe that Mr. Tinubu not only rigged the 2023 Presidential elections, but he does also not possess the academic credentials to run for the elections. Tinubu forged the Chicago State University degree certificate and as such, committed forgery for which he must be prosecuted. Tinubu is also a member of a drug cartel in the United States of America as per FBI documents recently released. He committed drug crimes.
"Not only did Tinubu compromised the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, which conducted the 2023 Presidential elections, Tinubu has also compromised the Judiciary in Nigeria, which was why the Supreme Court, regardless of all the overwhelming evidence of his election fraud, forgery and his criminality, went ahead to legitimize his Presidency.
"Against this backdrop, millions of Nigerians in diaspora under the aegis of Coalition of New Nigeria Diaspora Movement, CNNDM, have agreed and decided to save Nigeria and her democracy, demand immediate institutional reforms, demand the immediate resignation of Bola Tinubu so that Nigeria can begin the urgent process of cleansing herself, and rebuilding an integrity-based leadership selection process. T this end, here is what we agreed:
"CNNDM agreed that a Reclaim Nigeria Diaspora Protest would be held around the world to expose the criminality of Bola Tinubu and demand his immediate resignation.
"CNNDM agreed to help mobilize and support any group in Nigeria to join the movement and the 30 days mass protests of reclaiming Nigeria.
"CNNDM agreed that Nigerian Americans should begin reaching out their congressmen and pressure them to push the U.S Congress to begin an inquest on the 2023 Presidential elections in Nigeria, the Chicago State University and Bola Tinubu certificate scandal and why the FBI refused to prosecute Tinubu for all his crimes.
"CNNDM agreed to raise $10million for the 30days protests and litigations that is being planned against Bola Tinubu in the U.S for his crimes.
"CNNDM demand from the EU, UK, U.S to as a matter of urgency, place visa bans on all the Justices and Judges of the Appeal and Supreme Courts who gave the sham judgements that legalized Bola Tinubu as President of Nigeria. The Visa ban should also be extended to their families.
"CNNDM agreed to mandate the Contact and Mobilization Committee to announce a date for the protests soon."
The coalition vowed "to continue to pile pressure locally and internationally to force Bola Tinubu out of office. The group will mobilize Nigerians and protest in every country Tinubu intends to visit to show to the world that he is a certificate forger, a drug criminal and unfit to lead any nation.
"This action is aimed at reclaiming Nigeria from the hands of criminals who have taken over the country.
"CNNDM believe that Bola Tinubu remains an illegitimate President of Nigeria on account of his drug crimes and certificate forgery for which he refused to declare when he sought to run for the 2023 Presidential elections."
Foolish man, you ran away to Ghana and be spying nonsense, the other day it was because of you that ECOWAS did not invade Niger, it is because of you that the Ghanian President visited Nigeria to present a lecture, and today it is because of you that the supreme court brought forward it's judgment, who do you think you are
When you were in the APC and looting the country dry it was not an Islamic party, now that you have been side lined and nothing to rape it has suddenly becomes an Islamic party
Legalaffairs: Kperogi, ok we have heard you. Go and rest. Update this your view and defence forever and it can't unlearn or wash off what we know and read from the CSU deposition. We can't take your view against what we deduced from the CSU deposition.
You are Professor maybe, but I have come to understand that you will fail woefully on any exam centred on the content of the CSU deposition.
Be calming down before you end up carrying a fight you intend to separate.
You are overworking yourself on this issue. Why don't you help Nigeria from other angles? We are faced with the worst economic crisis presently, I will beg if you detour towards that area and leave CSU and Tinubu forgery alone. No amount of propaganda to change the narrative will work on the intelligent Nigerians.
Did I say you writes like a paid hand these days?
There is just no way you can convince somebody who for eight years believed that President Buhari was cloned to accept that Tinubus 's certificate was not forged
Well at least he went to a secondary school that exists, unlike your President who went to a secondary School in 1970 even though they school did not exist until 1974
Which secondary school, he has no O Level, there is no Peter on that WAEC certificate, they said it belongs to his elder brother, let him come out and defend himself, that's all we are looking for
sanusi4truth: Yes Tinubu applied as a male but he submitted documents showing female and the security number shows female. Of course he came to Chicago as male but the records are female.
Jobless people, you Will continue wasting your data on futile argument for the next eight years on some thing you know nothing about, who is in the position to clarify conflicting academic documents, the Registrar, he has testified under oaths and you people are still hallucinating
PrinceOfLagos: You have to be in some special kind of mighty level for the number one president of the world, the united states of America president, Joe Budden, to personally take photos with you with his own phone.
Our daughter Ngozi Okonjo Iweala is bigger than Bola Tinubu in levels and glory.
Don't worry in the next 18 months she will come and lie down on the floor to beg Tinubu for re endorsement when her tenure fishes, it was just by miracle that Buhari reluntantly endorsed her the other time
See the happiness on President Joe Bidden face as he personally snaps with our daughter Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.
Look at you, it is now that he has become a religious bigot, before the election when the Aso Rock cabal were messing around with Tinubu he was the only man who has the guts to stand up for Tinubu even at the expense of his personal relationship with Buhari, let me tell you unequivocally that El Rufai present travails is orchestrated by his Muslim brothers in the North, because he refused the presidency to remain in the North
She'll definitely feel sad unless she's the one that rejected the nomination.
No sane person will ever reject the opportunity of being a federal minister which is a once in a life time privilege not more when she is a woman, who is Kwakwanso to tell her to resign, is she not having a family to advice her, all those who criticized her nomination were thinking that when there is a replacement it will favor their candidates but unfortunately it did not

undisputedKOC: Igbos are the biggest enemies of the South South, all that fake love you show us only happens when you need our help to escape your Fulani masters and Yoruba tormentors. Igbos always claimed they voted for GEJ, yes you did, but Ijaws are not fools, we know you supported GEJ because of your hatred for Yorubas, not because you love us.
Igbo political character, motive and motto has always been "Anyone but Yorubas". Igbos will always go in the direction that destroys Yoruba political interests. This was the only reason you supported GEJ; but later it was still the same Igbos that ruined the GEJ govt and made other Nigerians to despise our great Ijaw son and vote him out.
Now that no Yoruba or South West is contesting for Senate Presidency, only South South, Igbos are showing their true colors and exposing their hatred as usual by maintaining a political stance that if Igbos can't get Senate Presidency, then their Northern masters should have it. Typical slaves with their wicked and hateful spirits.
How many times have Igbos been Senate President since 1999? But greed and hatred won't allow you wicked tribe to support others genuinely. It is the turn of the South South to have the Senate Presidency in Nigeria whether Igbos like it or not.
You claim to love South South, always attaching yourselves to us by force with fake love, but now when there's no Yoruba candidate contesting to direct your hatred on, you expose your true colors as the enemies of the South South.
Igbos were the biggest enemies of the South South during the era of regional government; Igbos were the most wicked enemies of the South South region during the civil war, commiting all kinds of wicked atrocities and evil against our men, women and children - we have not forgotten this; and now in 2023 Igbos are the biggest problem for South South to win Senate Presidency. We will not forget this wickedness.
Don't worry, when the time is ripe, you Igbos should come and beg South South for Presidency votes, and we will remind you about how you worked tirelessly against the emergence of a bonafide illustrious South South son, H.E. Godswill Akpabio. And like his name states, Godswill, let me tell you it is GOD'S WILL that Akpabio will become Senate President at this time and there's nothing you Igbo saboteurs can do about it.
They will always work against any that is not ibgo. bad politics
