Ordinary Wike you can't challenge, it is Tinubu you want to challenge 😏

PDP don turn to Tinubu ally.

How will you challenge a constitutional provision? They just want to buy time for Fubara.
Remember that constitutional provision when a fulani president will sack lagos state governor and install a kanuri sole administrator because of choas caused and sponsored by the same federal government. It might take a while but it shall surely happen. Tinubu should teach all and sundry how to use power. It is either he remains in power forever of face whatever he's dishing at some point.

So this Utomi is this foolish?

Comparing the issue in Lagos State House of Assembly to a nearly two year of political war that was already involving bombing of government properties is the height of foolishness!
Fool tell me anytime in river state that there were no bombing of pipelines. Why didn't government declare state of emergency in Lagos during end sars?

madone:
These days some people just add voice to issues without thinking.
Lets compare lagos and Rivers state issues
1. The matter was between speaker and governor, state House of assembly was not demolished or pipeline was bombed and nobody came online to threaten violence in the state.

2. Rivers state waring fractions were invited by the president just the way lagos state was invited. But lagos matter was resolved immediately unlike Rivers fubara went back and broke whatever agreement that was reached and still granted interview telling the media that he was deceived into settling.

3. The violence in the lagos ended in the state assembly no state owned property was demolished. Budget was not read among 4 people. No disruption of government activities. Governor was not making careless statements like fubara.
You don't have sense with all due respect sir.

Obasa's crises does not involve pipeline blast and Sanwo-Olu! The House complex wasn't brought down!

Sanwo Olu didn't incite the public that he'll get back to them when the time is right!

Sanwo-Olu didn't present budget to just 4 members of the house!
The state assembly complex was collapsing so needed to be rebuilt which the governor is doing, pipelines have blown from time immemorial and I don't know why you attributes that to the governor, Agbotos have been causing havoc in Lagos state like every other state, the 27 lawmakers who defected automatically lost their seats like what happened in plateau state which the supreme Court ruled. Tinubu needs river state for his reelection since North have abandoned him.

@hy can't Tinubu call Wike he employed to order? Is Wike not the main player in this whole nonsense? Tinubu is part of the fight. HOA members are fighting for Wike, Wike is fighting for Tinubu and Tinubu is cheering them up from afar. If you still don't know about this then you are dull.

There was no bombing of national assets and no threat of burning down the state and country by indegenes or politicians. There was no burning of the Assembly. When the President called them to order, they complied, but when the President mediated in Rivers crisis, he was called different unprintable names.

Lastly, Tinubu’s SoE is to protect Fubara from impeachment. If not for the SoE, Fubara would have been impeached overnight in one beer parlour since he has burnt down the State Assembly complex. So Tinubu actually checkmated the Assembly by the SoE which had stopped the planned impeachment. Now, Fubara can come back in 6 months, but if Tinubu had waited for about 48 hours, the kindergarten governor would have been impeached and he will not have the opportunity of coming back in 6 months which Tinubu just granted him.

Utomi and his gang are so dumb
Why no state of emergency in Lagos during endsars when all you mentioned happened? You simply don't have sense sir.

If Tinubu is not on a move to take River state why didn't he call his mad dog wike to order and order his mad dogs to behave? Or are you saying that Wike is not answerable to Almighty Tinubu? You think all of us are fools like you.

I'm not supporting bad thing Fubara showed no signs of someone you can trust, it's their battle not ours. If he is not smart enough to deal with Wike and Tinubu, he is not smart enough to be Rivers state governor.
Keep setting bad examples. Maybe when a governor criticizes a president, the president will sponsor chaos in his state and declare state of emergency and suspend the governor. You won't stay in power forever. It will surely turn and we will all see it.

Why can't he? I hate him but he's got all the powers to do that. The only thing is that it will make him more unpopular over there.

And he will get it cool by now it's clear that the next elections strategy that will be adopted by APC and agbadoid urchinus would be outright rigging and voter intimidation angry

Propaganda can't sell anymore cool obidients full ground
You can only rig election where you are popular. Imagine rigging for APC in Upper Iweka onitsha. How is that possible. Tinubu is only popular in south west now. He will certainly win 90 percent of lagos votes this time because because will be bullied but you can't say that anywhere else outside south west

While it is true Peter Obi can pose a significant threat, especially as he performed well in the last election... something fundamental will work against his emergence ...and that's the Northern factor.

Anyone thinking the North will back another Southerner , who will start a possible 2 terms of 8 years .. against a Tinubu who have used a term and after 4 years power goes back to the North does not know Nigeria's politics.

If the North want to gamble in 2027, they would rather gamble with a Northerner...if he loses, they wait for their turn in 2031...if he wins..that's a luck well played....rather than support a new Southerner which will have a possible 8 years tenure.

The only viable option will be for a Peter Obi to sing an agreement to use just one term of 4 years, so that power can to back to the North....But, will he agreehuh Even if he agrees, can the North trust himhuh These are the issues.


Well, I still see no alliance that will unseat Tinubu.
I am an Obidient, but I would like to see Atiku/Obi ticket. Obi should swallow his pride and deputize Atiku. A common northerner doesn't know of any agreement and would hardly vote for a southerner and an Igbo man. An igbo man can not be president from opposition. If Obi emerges, Tinubu will sponsor a northern candidate like that will collect votes that he won't get. My opinion. The collective aim is to boot Tinubu out of office

The proponents of the coalition are all seasoned politicians. When the time comes, the game plan would unfold.

Until then, APC can continue chasing shadows.
I like this comment. Atiku was naive in the last election. He would not have allowed Obi to leave PDP, and he would have ceded PDP structure to Wike and the G-5 governors but instead he stuck with Ayu with no political value while banking on the cabals to deliver him. If he had made peace with Wike, He would have been occupying Aso Rock by now. I am sure he won't make such mistakes. They should form a merger, where Atiku will be the flag bearer and Obi the deputy. They should woo Kwankwaso, Saraki and Tambuwaal. With that Tinubu is a gonner

If the election in 2027 have any resemblance of being free and fair Tinubu dont stand a single chance not a single chance he would lose before 12 noon

No body on earth can rig election in the North East and North West if you are unpopular

Tinubu rigged because he was popular somehow not now again

South East... Them no born him papa well to come rig here

3 zone gone... The rest 3 zones he is not sure of winning 2 south South and middle belt rigging can give him victory here but net votes would be so small it would be meaningless
The only way Tinubu will be booted out is if Atiku becomes the presidential candidate and Obi deputizing him. I am a strong Obidient but politics is not all about emotions. If Obi becomes the presidential candidate, Tinubu will sponsor a candidate in the north to make sure that who doesn't vote for him will vote for the candidate. An Igbo man can not be president of Nigeria from Opposition. I am an Igbo guy from Enugu, residing in Anambra and have not gone out of south east. They have to also form a merger and not coalition. Anything outside this will automatically play in the hands of tinubu once again.

Sim used "power" to bring down the state assembly complex and unlawfully, unconstitutionally declared and seized the salaries and allowances of the lawmakers for close to 2 years. And even after supreme court judgement refused to pay them.


Part 2
If i were Tinubu, these senators that are supporting Governor Sim will be given the same treatment as the 27 lawmakers, I'd use "power" to unlawfully, unconstitutionally seize their salaries and allowancess for 16 months and declare their seats vacant and advise them to go to court, And even when they get judgement in their favour in the supreme court, I'll refuse to pay them. Then they'll will understand what evil is.

Tinubu could have easily calle his attack dog Wike to order and ask him to call his attck dogs to other if really tinubu wated to resolve the issues. Are you saying that Wike is not loyal to Tinubu? Tinubu just want to take River state by all means because he knows that north is not sure for him
