That media assistant does not make sense at all. He is accusing Senator Abbo. of assaulting a woman when Senator Abbo acknowledged it and, in a nationwide broadcast, asked Nigerians to forgive him. We insist that Senator Akpabio should also apologize to Nigerians.
Secondly, he should address the senator properly. You are an aide to the Senate President, and you are referring to yourself as "Rt. Hon," so why don't you refer to the senator as a senator when he had a first time in the Senate and it was only his second term that was invalidated by the court? |

AMINDA: Elrufai never supported BAT because PDP won Kaduna? Who did Sanwo-olu, Gbaja and all the Lagos boys support in Lagos? Why did Tinubu lose Lagos to Obi and Osun to Atiku? Elrufai was not on the ballot, Tinubu was, except you expected him to rig the elections like in Rivers. Before you come and say "but APC retained all senate seats in Lagos", just know that the fact that APC won all the Senate seats in Lagos even proves how Lagosians were intentional about not voting Tinubu, specifically. They had nothing against other APC contestants. Tinubu was grossly unpopular and we all know GRV would have won the gubernatorial but for voter intimidation and suppression.
Elrufai will not be on the ballot in 2027 but Northerners who ditched their son, Atiku and supported Tinubu due to the influence of Elrufai in 2023 will simply take their votes elsewhere. Betrayals have consequences. Middle Belters and Northern Christians are massively voting for PBAT in 2027. I am one of them and we are seriously mobilizing. It's a joke to even say that El Rufai influenced Northern votes for PBAT. He lost all senators to PDP and out of 16 House of Reps, he lost 14 or so to LP and others. He is bad news to the North even in his native Kaduna state. |

How did Bachama came into contact with Islam? Till date 2025, out of 100 Bachama you will only see 1 who is a Muslim. 2. Bura and Babur are the same tribe. 3. Gombi is the name of a place but never a tribe. The tribes in Gombi LGA are Hona, Ga'anda, Lala and Bura. |
