fergie001:
I understand money has been flying around, good money but this case is just brass unconstitutionality at its peak.

What was Tinubu thinking?

oyichi:
you dey mind them? Useless president- useless supporters

oyichi:
dreamer, ndume and his likes have rejected it already, it's not about party here

fergie001:
73, actually...... It's difficult and almost impossible.
Only a mad Governor will openly tell his NASS members to endorse that.

The House of Reps have entered an Executive Session to decide what next to do so as not result in a chaotic atmosphere.

IgOga:
They need just about 20 opposition senators.

If the SoE fails in the national assembly Fubara will be impeached within the next 2 weeks and Tinubu will say to Rivers State we told you to accept SoE.

In Nigeria if the president supports the impeachment of a governor...that governor is gone....It may still be the best outcome for Fubara

Some constituents of Kogi Central Senatorial District have initiated a recall process against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, citing a vote of no confidence in her representation.

The recall process, witnessed in Okehi Local Government Area on Wednesday, saw a large number of electorates on the queue to register their support for the recall process.

One of the electorates, Nura Ibrahim, said the exercise is being carried out beyond party lines because of the growing dissatisfaction among constituents with Akpoti-Uduaghan’s performance, particularly in addressing key issues like poverty, infrastructure, and education.

“The decision to initiate the recall process was not taken lightly, with key stakeholders stating that they had tried to engage with Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan on several occasions, but their efforts were met with disdain and arrogance,” he said.

The recall process is expected to take two days across all polling units in the five local governments of Kogi Central.

During this time, constituents will be required to sign a petition calling for the senator’s recall.

However, our correspondent gathered that constituents were reportedly tricked into appending their signature after a town crier went around Okehi on Tuesday, inviting people for money.

Our correspondent also contacted the state Resident Electoral Commissioner, Gabriel Longpet, who denied any knowledge of a recall.

“I am not aware of any recall process, apart from the unconfirmed reports flying about on social media.

“No one has contacted me about any recall in any part of the state,” Longpet said.

PUNCH Online recalls that Akpoti-Uduaghan is currently serving a six-month suspension after she allegedly ran foul of Senate rules during a face-off with the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio

She subsequently accused the Senate president of alleged sexual harassment.

PUNCH Online reports that a petition for recall of a lawmaker shall be presented to the Chairman of the
Commission by representatives of the petitioners, having notified the member sought to be recalled, in writing, of the receipt of the petition.

According to INEC’s regulations and guidelines for a recall, such notification shall be delivered to his/her official address, and the presiding officer of the applicable legislature will be copied and published on the Commission’s website.

Also, the commission will ascertain that the petition is signed by more than one-half of the registered voters in the member’s constituency, and the list of signatories to the petition shall constitute the Register of Petitioners (Form EC41) for the purpose of the recall.

According to the guidelines, verification shall be carried out in the Polling Units at the constituency of the member sought to be recalled.

He was advised against Naira devaluation and petrol price deregulation at a go, he did not hear.
He ended up plunging the country in economic abyss. Today he added yet another stupid feather to hat of "terrible" government.

So the demolition of the state assembly complex is what?

JagabanBorgu:
U can talk too much if u want, talking is what the average Nigerian does.
By this time come Friday, this talk will disappear from social media like it never happened and u all will start looking for another thing to talk about.
That's the average Nigerian, driven by emotions, talk and talk and talk, I'm sure u have created at least 5 topics about this already and all of them is driven by the urge to talk.

JagabanBorgu:
In Nigeria, everyone can write epistles displaying all wisdom and competence, but when it comes to taking actions, they are all run and hide, so this gent can write this epistle as someone who was part of the process of restoring peace to the Niger Delta but went AWOL all the while this issue was on ground.

I hate to read stuffs like this . This is pure intimidation by all means. This is not appropriate at all. Even APC members all feel sober in their inner mind.

PRESS STATEMENT BY SEN. BABAFEMI OJUDU, CON

Back to Ground Zero: Who Advised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Do This?

I have just picked up my phone after breaking my fast to find multiple missed calls and countless messages about an alarming development: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reportedly declared a state of emergency in Rivers State.

If this is true, then I must ask: Who advised the President to take this course of action? Whoever it is, they are certainly not a friend of his administration, nor do they have the best interests of Nigeria at heart.

How could the President willingly walk into a raging inferno with his eyes wide open? No, no, no… this must be the work of fifth columnists. The Tinubu I once knew would not have made such a reckless and unnecessary decision.

To what end? This is a simple political dispute that requires a simple solution. Call the two gladiators, sit them down, and read them the riot act. One of them, after all, is your own appointee. What will it benefit you, Mr. President, to keep Wike and lose the Nigerian economy?

The Dangerous Economic Implications of This Decision

Does the President realize that the Niger Delta crisis twice pushed Nigeria into recession under President Muhammadu Buhari.

Has he been informed that at one point, Nigeria’s oil production collapsed to below 400,000 barrels per day, down from 2.5 million barrels per day? That catastrophic drop in production was a direct result of political mismanagement and conflict in the region.

It took years of painstaking effort and immense risks to stabilize the region, stop the sabotage of oil infrastructure, and restore some level of production. I should know—I was part of that difficult and excruciating process.

This decision threatens to undo all that progress.

If the situation escalates, we risk another shutdown of vital oil production facilities. We risk renewed pipeline sabotage, illegal oil bunkering, and militant activities. We risk another economic nosedive—at a time when Nigeria can least afford it.

The global oil market is unforgiving. Investors do not wait for internal political conflicts to be resolved. They simply take their capital elsewhere.

Mr. President, this is not just about Rivers State. It is about Nigeria’s economic survival.

And What About the Soldiers Fighting to Keep Nigeria Safe?

While we waste energy escalating political battles in Rivers State, thousands of Nigerian soldiers are still fighting for their lives—and for the nation’s survival—against insurgents, bandits, and kidnappers in the North East, North West, and North Central.

These are the real emergencies. These are the crises that demand decisive leadership.

The men and women of our armed forces are stretched thin, battling terrorists and criminal networks daily. They do not need yet another crisis to divert resources and attention.

Nigeria cannot afford to be fighting on multiple fronts—politically, economically, and militarily. Mr. President, do not open a new war front in Rivers State while real wars are still raging elsewhere.

This Is Not the Way to Manage This Crisis, Mr. President

This portends disaster—for your administration, for the economy, and for the nation.

A state of emergency is not a strategy—it is an admission of failure. There are far more effective, far less destructive ways to handle this situation.

I urge you, Mr. President, to rethink this decision before irreparable damage is done.
