The Process that Made Fubara Governor Was a Very Stolen Mandate - Cole

Jonathan the weakling asked his Ministers to resign if they wanted to contest in the next elections and join politics.

Tinubu the strongman cannot reign in his Ministers to resign if they want to face politics.

Life is wonderful. None of Obasanjo's Ministers dare play politics when he was the Boss. You don't need to go far to know who gives Wike the relevance. A president who is more interested in politics than governance.


Newsdesk
President Goodluck Jonathan officially instructed his ministers with political ambitions for the 2015 general elections to resign on October 15, 2014.
During a Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on that date, he directed those planning to contest for elective offices to submit their resignation letters by October 20, 2014.

Key details regarding this event include:

The Valedictory Session: A valedictory session was held on October 15 for seven ministers who had indicated they would be leaving to pursue governorship bids.


The Ministers Involved: The seven ministers who resigned following this directive included Nyesom Wike (Education), Musiliu Obanikoro (Defence), Labaran Maku (Information), Samuel Ortom (Trade), Emeka Wogu (Labour), Onyebuchi Chukwu (Health), and Darius Ishaku (Niger Delta).


Reason for Resignation: The directive was issued to ensure that government officials did not use state resources or machinery to fund or influence their personal political campaigns for the upcoming 2015 elections.

Earlier in the same year, on February 12, 2014, President Jonathan had also accepted the resignations of four other ministers, some of whom were reportedly leaving to further their own political interests.

Typical mindset and quote of suicide bombers "All men will die"!

Unfortunately true.

IgOga:
A cowards speaks a thousand times to show strength the brave acts to show strength. The brave speaks to warn the coward of his eventual downfall.

Let him continue. Even Tinubu the Colombian ally has no view on what Trump did to Maduro. UK Prime minister is still gathering evidence before he would comment on the situation


Power is power.

Ghana condemned the action.

South Africa condemned it too

The man who dies fighting is better than the man who dies hiding. Although Maduro took a sword to a gun fight, he still wished everyone happy new year when he was shown to us this week. All men will die.

The fanaticism we are seeing today is on a high level. Followers of Abrahamic religions be doing too much. They play god than the God they claim to worship. Most of them are not well grounded, that's why they want cult following and scared when individuals make their own decisions. IfManBeGod

Food4Thought:
No. 1 was an insult to the entire nation. Slowing down his pace and then asking the coach for a sub is the height of disrespect to his teammates in particular and to Nigerians in general.
Going forward he should be a good boy, humble himself and apologize to the entire nation otherwise the coach should start shopping for his replacement, after all other countries don't have Osimhen in their teams yet they are doing fine.

No. 1 is the definition of SABOTAGE. I can pretend to ignore the main crime of his disrespect to his team mate even though I don't tolerate indiscipline but you see those 2, those are what toddlers do that you teach them a lesson in life that it's not all about them. Talk about throwing tantrums...

Anyone who angers you controls you and this lad has let anger control him. Anger is now his Master.

I didn't enjoy the AI language here

Food4Thought:
Osimhen overreacted. Simple! It's normal to react but overdoing it is abnormal. You don't allow your emotions to becloud your sense of reasoning. Osimhen did. He was pointing finger straight at Lookman. That's irresponsible of him. He is a fine player but he should work on his bad attitudes towards teammates. He should apologize to his teammates.

These two are enough to drop him on the bench for the next games

1. Osimhen reduced his pace and later asked Eric Chelle for a sub. In the 68th minute, Moses Simon replaced the Galatasaray man.

2. After the game, Osimhen ignored the team and strutted to the showers. This is not for first time Victor Osimhen is snapping.

In this life, no one, absolutely no one is indispensable. Boy has a lot of growing up to do. He needs a mentor. I know Oliseh once mentioned this.

On the other thread, my fellas are justifying his behaviour. No worry. That sub you asked for, dem go sub you for the next match when e de sweet you.

Talent can take you to the top, attitude will determine your altitude at the top.

It's even wrong to have the Governor automatically becoming the leader of a party. This is the main problem Nigerian parties are having today. Once the Governor is the leader, you will have no check on him. This is why many of them now go for second term ticket untested.

manuelkel:
Yes big fact truth, but Osimhen's case is different from the one Sir's referring to.
Osimhen never parade himself as being bigger than anybody. He overreacts when you wasted his efforts, and it's obvious because he's a good finisher. He hates 1vs1 gambling.

It's a team sport, it's like you forget that he shouldn't do some things on field with his team mates and to the coach. Or wasn't it this guy who fought his coach?

DenreleDave:
Oshinmen keep getting angry on flimsy stuff.. Reason why no too league wants him... He is a talent but attitude matters more for these big teams

Attitude determines your altitude

manuelkel:
You can drop Ademola but you see Osimhen, you can't drop him, he's the real deal. The real f*****g deal.

no player is bigger than the team

A man who can control his urge for women has mastered himself.

Democracy is a scam if one country can decide how crazy another's democracy is crazy. Demonstration of craze...

This is why it will not work in Africa because it's crazy how the demo works here. The rulers have figured out how to manipulate the system to benefit them without direct responsibility.

In 1999 - 2003, the Executive did not like the Legislature and orchestrated the removal of the Senate and Reps different times. However you must be aware that the leaders of those houses were not 100% clean. Do you remember Salisu and Toronto Certificate? Within four years, the Senate alone had three presidents. Salisu Buhari’s removal over the Toronto certificate scandal was justified on ethical grounds, but the speed and coordination of the process revealed something deeper, the executive influence was never far away. Evan Enwerem and later Chuba Okadigbo fell amid allegations of misconduct, yet the pattern suggested that leadership crises were being managed politically, not institutionally. Accountability was selective, reactive, and often convenient for the power brokers. Nigeria began its democratic process on a faulty foundation. The Governors will learn after the 2003 tsunami by the PDP how to grab it in the next paragraph.


In 2003–07, the major issue of this tenure was the attempt tamper with constitutional limits through political pressure. Even though Obasanjo denies it today, there is enough documentation on how the third-term agenda was not just about tenure elongation but it was a stress test of whether constitutional rules could withstand executive might. The Legislature was flooded with inducements and intimidation. That the amendment failed remains significant, but equally significant is how close it came to succeeding. Democracy survived this phase by a narrow margin, not by institutional strength but thank God it survived. Credit to Sen Ken Nnamani.


In 2007–11, this tenure combined electoral legitimacy collapse, legislative scandal, and executive weakness. The 2007 elections severely damaged democratic credibility, yet governance proceeded without correction. Yar Adua's attempt to correct the anomaly of an election succeeded a bit when he set up an electoral panel to review our electoral system. Inside the Legislature, the Patricia Etteh crisis and later the Dimeji Bankole era exposed how leadership of the House became entangled with patronage and post-tenure criminalisation. The defining rupture, however, was Yar’Adua’s illness and death. The secrecy surrounding presidential incapacity paralysed governance and exposed a constitutional vacuum. The “Doctrine of Necessity” that elevated the Vice President was a timely fix but it also confirmed that Nigeria’s democracy often survives by improvisation rather than adherence to clear rules. Thank you Dora Akunyili and we can't forget the role of Mr Aondoaka and those who claimed that the President could rule from anywhere in the world. A pattern that will be repeated later under Buhari and now, Tinubu. This period was where the Governors started learning to cut their teeth. They became more influential in Nigerian politics. The Governors' Forum was influencing national politics. This was the period of one party state by PDP that made Ogbulafor boast that PDP will rule for 60 years. Obasanjo had taught the Governors lessons but Yar Adua and Jonathan's scholarly approach to democracy may have cost us a lesson on tight fisted executive.

In 2011–15, the main issue of this period was oversight without enforcement. The National Assembly appeared assertive, especially during the fuel subsidy probe, which revealed massive corruption. Yet the failure to secure decisive prosecutions weakened public trust. You must remember that Farouk Lawan was recently forgiven in the Tinubu's presidential pardon list but what he did at that time was a symbol of the corruption at the top. At the same time, electoral reforms under Attahiru Jega restored some credibility to elections, creating a contrast between improving electoral process and stagnant governance accountability. Democracy looked better at the ballot box than in outcomes. Change became possible but the Governors played a major role in redesigning how party politics was. The party was no longer the class captain, each Governor was now taking hold of the party structure at each state.

In 2015–19, this tenure was dominated by open institutional confrontation. Bukola Saraki’s emergence as Senate President against party and executive preference triggered years of conflict. His trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal placed the Judiciary squarely within political struggle. Simultaneously, the Executive openly disobeyed court orders in security-related cases, signalling impatience with judicial restraint. This was not just an executive–legislative problem, it was a systemic breakdown of respect among arms of government because APC was in power, so yih can't blame the opposition. Power was increasingly exercised as moral authority rather than constitutional obligation.
The first attack on the judicial system began here with the Onnoghen trial by the Buhari government. The death of the media also started during this time. APC, which had oiled the machinery of the media to their advantage could not let the same machine take them out. They came out hard on critical thinking and through the Minister of Information, the Press review started here.


In 2019–23, the tenure was defined by the open surrender of legislative independence. Unlike earlier Assemblies that at least struggled with the Executive, this one publicly embraced alignment as a governing principle. Legislative leaders openly described the National Assembly as a “partner” rather than a check. Oversight weakened noticeably. Budgets were passed with little resistance, confirmations sailed through, and major policy questions rarely produced institutional pushback. The loss of teeth was not accidental. Senate President Ahmed Lawan repeatedly framed the National Assembly as a “partner” of the Executive rather than a check on it. In public statements, he emphasized working “in harmony” with the presidency to pass legislation and implement national policies, warning against “unnecessary grandstanding” that could delay governance. Oversight weakened - bills, budgets, and ministerial confirmations proceeded with minimal scrutiny. A prominent example was Godswill Akpabio’s smooth confirmation as Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, which drew little interrogation despite prior controversies. Please off your mic. Committees that would normally probe ministers or government contracts rarely escalated findings, signaling a tacit decision that cooperation, not confrontation, was the guiding principle. The loss of teeth was not accidental, it was openly acknowledged, marking a clear departure from Assemblies that had previously struggled even contentiously to assert themselves.
Democracy during this period functioned procedurally but hollowly, with elections and legislative processes intact but scrutiny and accountability diminished.

From 2023–present, the current 10th National Assembly has intensified this pattern. It had easily won the worst National Assembly even before concluding its tenure. Senate and House leaders, including Akpabio, have publicly reinforced the idea that lawmakers are not elected “to fight the Executive” but to collaborate on national priorities. Akpabio stressed that legislators should support executive-led bills that serve the nation, even if critics label this a “rubber-stamp” legislature. Committees continue to exist, but oversight has become largely symbolic. Critical national issues, security challenges, rising inflation, and controversial economic policies see limited legislative pushback. What stands out is not conflict but its absence, making it clear that the Legislature now prioritizes alignment and on a mandate they wish to stand on with the executive over independent scrutiny. In practical terms, the National Assembly functions, but as a facilitator of executive priorities rather than a co-equal branch ensuring accountability. This Assembly has trashed any respect whatsoever you may have for the Legislature. Publicly singing on your mandate they shall stand, trying to praise the President's work and laughing over serious issues that affect Nigerians or completely ignoring them have made them weaker than the whisker of a cat.

Looking at Nigeria’s National Assembly from 1999 to today, a clear pattern stands out. Each four-year tenure faced big challenges, but the Legislature often let itself be shaped by politicians and party leaders instead of standing up to protect the people’s interests. The 10th Assembly shows this clearly. Leaders openly put the President’s wishes above their constitutional duty. They approve bills and budgets without asking tough questions. Committees that should investigate government programs barely do their work. By choosing to cooperate instead of check power, the Legislature has weakened democracy from within. At the same time, the Judiciary has often compromised, bending under pressure or choosing caution, which has limited its ability to fully check government power. Go to court!!!


This problem is not unique to Nigeria. In countries like Venezuela, democracy exists on paper but is erased by politicians who manipulate institutions for their own gain. We can see the same pattern here. But pointing out these failures does not give outsiders the right to lecture Venuezela. Even strong democracies like the United States struggle with their own political crises and institutional problems. True democracy only works when the people and their own institutions hold power accountable. No one else can do it for us.

This time around, the ministers and presidential aides will speak on behalf of the President during campaign

I thought their Emilokan knew it was going to be him, he did not even need any prophesy that he even asked El Rufai to speak for him during his campaign. He knew his 'team' but to cover Nigeria's back in international space after getting there, he is showing confusion. Mr Teamship, the man who can spot talents. The joke is on you.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtvPDLq2P3E[/quote]Even here where he wasn't debating with anyone, he still could not bring himself to answer questions. The world is watching Nigeria and they can see how we are making a full of ourselves.


Since APC came to power, Presidential Media chats are a thing of the past. They don't believe that giving accountability is necessary. Wike has more media chats than the President and what is he usually talking about? Politics! Not governance. If they were in opposition and PDP did the same thing, they would have screamed 🤡

Do not sell that building. I repeat, do not sell that building. Life comes with troubles but it's in seasons. One season, you were doing well and you thought God was favoring you, now you have a life challenge and think God has forsaken you

God is with the patient. You can still work your way towards another job, another business or something else but a landed property is an investment asset that yields more profit with time so I am surprised you even want to sell it to japa. You will regret that action. I think you need to calm down and redraw a plan. What you are doing now is irrational thinking instead of rational thinking. Take your time and grind, every business man has always faced a serious crisis in life. But what they do is to always keep bouncing back.

Go and watch My Worst Day with Peace Hyde and you will find out that every big man has his own wahala. This is your time to shine. What is this experience teaching you as a man

Everyman needs solitude, spirituality and faith. This is what makes men. You too shall rise above these challenges.

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse, has warned President Bola Tinubu and other political actors against rigging the 2027 presidential election, saying the international community is closely watching Nigeria.

Pearse issued the warning during an interview on Arise Television on Sunday, where he cautioned that electoral malpractice could attract serious global consequences.

According to him, the era of unchecked election rigging is coming to an end, stressing that international institutions and powerful global actors would not ignore any attempt to undermine Nigeria’s democratic process....

That's the fine art of living and becoming an adult, we don't take certain decisions, not because we can't do them but because when we weigh the actions against the consequences, wisdom is profitable to direct us to manage the situation.
