Miffed by this, Tunde had the First Lady's ADC, Usman Shugaba, Escort Commander and other policemen attached to the first family arrested and detained.

But, let's be frank, are we sure Buhari is truly in power? How can an ordinary Personal Assistant have the First Lady's ADC, Escort Commander and policemen attached to the first family arrested and detained?? Such effrontery!
Something fishy is going on in that Aso rock that we don't know yet.

Buhari has no respect for his wife. It is an insult.

The best thing for Obaseki now is to negotiate for his future and chill down like Ambode that is if his stubborness and bad advisers him will allow.

Heffalump:
Obaseki is a smart man. You see, when your opponent or your perceived enemies are keen on out smarting you in the open, don't pretend to be nice or act docile otherwise you go down like a coward! Those planning his downfall at the national level should be prepared to meet him at the state level where he is the chief executive officer. The State has laws that must be obeyed, including Oshiomhole and his cohorts.

Infact, the Governor's advisers are doing very well. A solid man must stand and fight and not chicken out with ease. After all, he has nothing to lose. How many people can afford to be Governor?

He is actually not a politician the way he is handling this matter.

Politics › Apc Barred Its Members From Appealing Rivers State Chairmanship Judgement by tinsel(op): 7:36pm On Jun 11, 2020

June 11, 2020 Cletus Ukpong ,PremiumTimes
Rotimi Amaechi, Nigeria’s Minister of Transportation, lost out again in the crisis bedevilling the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, as a high court in the state on Tuesday declared Igo Aguma, of a rival faction, the acting chairman of the party in the state.

The APC has barred its members from appealing the judgement.

Mr Aguma belongs to a faction of the APC in Rivers that is loyal to Magnus Abe, a former governorship aspirant in the state.

Mr Amaechi is a former governor of Rivers and one of APC’s most influential leaders, but he has been having it tough getting the APC in Rivers to unite in the party’s quest to wrestle power from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the oil-rich state.

The protracted crisis in the party prompted the court to declare that the APC did not have a governorship candidate in Rivers in 2019, paving the way for Governor Nyesom Wike of the PDP to have an easy second term victory.

Mr Aguma, a former member of the House of Representatives and former political ally to Mr Amaechi, parted ways with him over his (Amaechi) insistence that Mr Abe would not be the APC governorship candidate in the 2015 and the 2019 elections.

Mr Aguma filed a lawsuit in December 2019 against the APC, including its national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, for setting up a caretaker committee to run the affairs of the party in Rivers.

The setting up of the caretaker committee contravened the APC rules, Mr Aguma had told the court.

The court presided by Justice George Omereji declared that Mr Aguma suffered injustice and his civil rights violated when the APC set up the caretaker committee.

The APC in its reaction to the development has barred its members from appealing the court judgment.

The APC National Vice Chairman, South-South, Hilliard Etah, said in a statement on Wednesday, “This is to categorically state that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has not delegated any authority to anyone, group of persons, agents or whatsoever to appeal the said judgement”.

Mr Etah said the APC was yet to take a decision whether to appeal the judgment or not.

Mr Abe said of the court judgment, “The only thing wrong with the judgment is that it failed to massage the ego of any individual.”

He advised Mr Aguma not to harbour personal or hidden agenda, but to “reach out to all persons of consequence in the party who are desirous of repositioning the party”. He said he should have the courage to move on if people do not want to join him to rebuild the APC in the state. “None of us can be bigger than the party,” he said.

The recent appointment of Mr Abe into the board of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation by President Muhamadu Buhari has also unsettled the APC faction loyal to Mr Amaechi.

It is unclear, for now, if there is a hidden plan by some powerful people within the APC to push Mr Amaechi aside and rebuild the party in Rivers around Mr Abe ahead of the 2023 general elections.

PREMIUM TIMES could not immediately reach the transport minister for his comment.

Igo Aguma didn’t even contest for the post of the state chairman in 2018. How come he is now declared by the court as the Acting Chairman.
Same Justice Omereji that was used by Wike in 2015 to do dirty job in their enquiry committee is giving judgement.

Amaechi took up a fight bigger than him by the way he tried to remove the national chairman of his party. First is Magnus Abe's NNPC appointment and this one now. They will finish him politically.

I laugh at those who are so confident that Obaseki have lost this battle.

One thing is sure, Obaseki wouldn't have been grandstanding if he hadn't a game plan.

Like the Igbos will say, "if you see someone dancing alone on the road, just know that there's something beating the drums from the bush".

Mark this, the Judge will give temporary injunction on June 17, pending determination of the case; an injunction that will restrain Ize-Iyamu from participating in the primaries. An act that will serve as moral booster for the Obaseki camp.

Obaseki is not Ambode!

Edo is not Lagos where all touts pay homage to Bourdillon.

Las Las, APC will still lose Edo through illegality.

Politics › Failed In Abuja, Obaseki Dispatches Emissaries to Bourdillion Written By Mayaki by tinsel(op): 5:09pm On May 31, 2020

Failed in Abuja, Obaseki dispatches emissaries, SSG Osarodion Ogie to Bourdillion
......as APC Governors plan visit to Tinubu

By John Mayaki

The chips are down and the haughtiness of the man who said his ambition is non-negotiable has mellowed. His name is Godwin Obaseki and his emissaries, led by Osarodion Ogie, are meandering around Bourdillion, gearing ahead for APC Governor’s visit to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The mission is simple: to lobby, plead, and negotiate, so that favour may go in the direction of the recalcitrant Obaseki.

This effort comes after their attempt to meet with the President became futile, revealing the great disquiet, desperation, and an atmosphere of looming failure in that camp, which now drives their attempts. Is it not rather ironic that a man, who went from podium to podium, channel to channel, displaying a megalomaniac attitude, declaring his 2nd term ambition sacrosanct and undebatable, is now going state to state, door to door, seeking support and assistance?

From Abuja to Lagos, Obaseki’s footsteps is filled with proverbial lessons: the man who exalted himself to the ranks of the gods but who must now recognize that he is a simple human. That recognition begins with this visit to Bourdillion and it is made remarkable by the fact that this same Obaseki, the man being led to beg, had called APC leaders “thieves” who want him to share the state’s money.

But even in this new repentance, Obaseki is not entirely sincere and penitent. While he understands that his best bet is to remain in APC and heal the wounds he had inflicted on the memory and conscience of the party, he is as well scheming and plotting behind the scene, planing a defection to the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) - the party that has extended the collection date for its nomination form of today’s meeting with the National Leader of APC collapses.

Even in the Bible, the Christian wisdom prescribed, as a condition for forgiveness, a contrite and repentant heart. That is missing in Obaseki. The same bible made it clear, in the book of Revelation, that for the kingdom of God, lukewarmness is not a virtue—one must be entirely hot or exactly cold. It is also the same for Jesus’s who not only denies us the opportunity of serving two masters but add that “no one who puts his hands in the plough and takes it back is fit for the kingdom.” Governor Godwin Obaseki has been dilly-dallying, hopping left and right, stand neither here nor there, not hot for APC or cold for PDP, a trait that makes one unfit for serious consideration.

But serious consideration has even, at this point, deservedly almost eluded Obaseki. He made a lot of unforgivable utterances and went ahead to carry out ear-cringing, jaw-dropping actions against the same people he is today seeking their face. Judas, the only Bible character Obaseki can truly be likened to, did not enjoy the privilege of comprehensive clemency.

Obaseki arrogated himself far too high as if he never knew this day will come especially when he believed that unseating the National Chairman of the party would drop the APC second term ticket on his lap. And so, in the process of his mindless arrogation, he had boasted too frequently that he commands the respect, admiration, and good works that will defeat any co-aspirant for the governorship.

So far, no bad has been done to Obaseki, except the demand to come now and walk his talk, to subject himself to a party referendum and prove, as he has countlessly said, that he has done well and holds the loyalty of greater party members who are satisfied with his achievement. It is no more, no less.

Tell Godwin Obaseki that there are only two options available to him - to either prepare for direct primaries in the APC or conclude his negotiations with the opposition party.
