Diri is very jobless to have spent these minutes to defend Tinubu's corruption route. The sad part is that if he were truly on the side of the opposition, he would have still condemned this project. Talking about small Bayelsa and meagre resources is very hypocritical. Nothing has changed about Bayelsa comparing its size and huge resources that should justify Donald Duke to visit your swamps and one city under developed state. And coming to talk about Bakkasi to spite Duke is simply a sheer demonstration of ignorance. So you wanted Gov Duke then to fight or oppose President Obasanjo or the International Court alone? All these BoiBoi Governor eh.
CharleyBright: I stopped watching Jounalist Roundtable show and indeed TV News because of this buffooon called Babajide Otitoju. He is a staunch supporter of Bola Tinubu and you can easily tell this from his brown envelop bias analysis. Infact the entire crew of Journalist Hangout are Yoruba and pro Tinubu. You can't get unbias analysis from them.
That Guy is one of the most biased and politically compromised Journalists this country has ever witnessed. His views are so distasteful that I totally stop watching Tinubu's TVC. Yet he claims superior knowledge on all matters, like the worst form of Reuben Abati of Arise TV.
Instead of going about on his knees to beg Kogi People for forgiveness and refunding their money that he stole, he now wants to go to the senate to steal more? Well, it will be shameful if he wins the general election.
SonOfWords: PDP as a political party has lost its steam.
No sensible politician is going to want to risk his or her chances come 2027 by contesting on a platform with two factions, a perpetually drunk anti-party spoiler and a plethora of court litigations.
So what will happen to Senator Natasha and others that Wike's Boys are selling forms to?
I think Ihedioha has nothing to lose. The Imo State Governorship Election isn't taking place in 2027. So by the time the election takes place, everything must have been settled and clear. I'm sure, if the odds are against the ADC and or if Obi wins in 2027, Ihedioha will naturally defect to the NDC.
Gradually, This Man and His Terr0r Group Are Becoming More Audacious. He should also demand for Muslim-Muslim Candidates across all states of the South West. Then it will be easier to declare a South-West Caliphate. We Dey Watch.
What is ongoing there is less than 20%. They haven't even completed half of one side of the road. Travelling on that road remains a nightmare and waste of one's productive hours.
Unfortunately, Mr President deosnt care. He is busy with his demonic desperate politics. And Benue People will vote massively for him in 2027 to continue to heartlessly govern over their consistent elimination by Cruel Jihadists.
osuofia2: Why is ADC behaving like kinda garden politicians, their legal team should have advised them, the same Issue Obi had with LP , and elrufai with SDP, they were people who were members of political party before you guys came and you want to hijack it from them. Tinubu no be Jonathan o
Many Kaduna People believe that this Man actually won the 2023 governorship election in that State but was robbed of the victory by the APC. If this planned defection happens, then it's a big win for the ADC.
At the national level, their spokesperson, Barr Felix Morka, holds another appointment dashed him by President Tinubu. And the so-called Chairman in Rivers State, Tony Okocha, still retains his NDDC appointment while functional as the State Chairman of the Party. I'm sure this Ogun Chairman will be removed for daring to issue this directive, regardless of the constitutionality of it.
MT: Whenever a Governor relieves someone of his or her post with immediate effect, just know that there is a serious in-fighting.
We would hear from the former SSG soon anyway.
What are the roles of these "senior special assistant, special adviser" - waste of taxpayer's money.
Can they ever advise the Governor on any matter?
They can but the Governors don't take any of such pieces of advice. So these Guys just remain there without giving any advice and just collect their salaries and allowances.
FCT Minister, Chief Nyesom Wike has exposed how a former governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi got a Luxury Rolls Royce Car from Senator John Azuta Mbata.
Wike exposed this while speaking on a special edition of Politics Today on Channels Television on Friday.
Amaechi in defending his claim of not being rich, corrupt and greedy like Wike had revealed that he was yet to use even a Rolls Royce Gift to him over 10 years ago.
Address of Governor Siminalayi Fubara At A Meeting with Simplified Stakeholders on Saturday, June 28, 2025
Protocols
I had a meeting with you on the 29th of May, 2025, here, and in that meeting, I did inform you that we are in a peace process. I know — and not just being in the process — I said it's ongoing.
I called for this meeting to address you formally, for you to have the first-hand information. It's not the one you are reading in the paper, it's not the one you are seeing on social media or wherever — you are now hearing from me.
We have fought. I think, in my own assessment and in the assessment of anyone here who is genuine in this struggle, you will know that we have done what we need to do. At this point, if you want to be truthful to yourself, the only solution is peace. I did say that there's no price that is too big for peace — I meant it, and I'm still ready to follow it to the end.
Nobody can take away the role the FCT Minister, Chief Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, played — that's the truth. Yes, we might have our differences, but nobody here will say he doesn't know the role he played. Nobody can wish away the risk he took. Yes, at a point we had our differences and if today there's need for us to settle, please, anyone who genuinely believes in me should understand that it's the right thing to do.
So, my dear fathers, brothers and sisters, no matter the level of peace that a mediator will arrange, the true peace is the one where both of you are sitting down together to say, “Yes, this is what we want.”
At this point, I've met him and we have spoken. You can't take away the fact that he’s hurt — he's a human being. I also have my own share of pains too.
If we believe that we are in one family and our interest is to support the President, then what is the issue? If you say you are with us and you believe in me, this is the time for us to show it.
Because it's not even about me as a person — it's about the overall interest of the state. In the midst of this crisis between me and the FCT Minister, look at the projects we've initiated. Many have been abandoned. We know the progress we would have recorded and the areas that would have been developed. So, there's need for this peace — that's the truth.
I can't abandon you people — that's one thing I need to say here. This is the time for me to prove to you that I care for you, and I make my commitment here that whichever way it goes, I will not abandon anybody. [b]But the sacrifice that we are going to make for us to achieve this total peace is going to be heavy, and I want everybody to prepare for it.
Without a total reconciliation — which, by the grace of God, the both of us have gotten to — there's no way we can make progress in this state. There's no way the President can come in to save the situation. So, I want to appeal to everyone — I have accepted that we must accept this peace, no matter how it looks, no matter how you feel, we must accept it.
In my place, there's a fish they call Atabala — you call it Tilapia. The native Tilapia doesn't grow big. The mother Tilapia used to tell the kids that if you want to grow up to my own size, hide your head inside the mud. Every one of us should understand that at this time, we've done our best, and what we need now is this peace so that we can grow. I know it's difficult and heavy, but that's the true situation.
~H.E Sir Siminalayi Fubara GSSRS. ● Governor Of Rivers State.
Those Behind The Coalition Are Political IDPs, Don't Pay Attention To Them - Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday described opposition leaders spearheading a coalition against him ahead of the 2027 presidential election as internally displaced politicians fighting for relevance.
Former Vice President Atiku and ex-Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, in March, rallied other opposition figures to forge a united front against President Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next national election.
El-Rufai dumped the APC and pitched his tent with the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in March.
Other opposition elements involved in the coalition arrangement are the Labour Party presidential candidate in the 2023 election, Peter Obi, the former Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, the ex-Senate President, David Mark, and the former Director-General of the Progressives Governors Forum (PGF), Salihu Lukman, among others.
The group applied to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the registration of a new political party – the All Democratic Alliance (ADA) – last week.
Tinubu, who spoke at a one-day visit to Nasarawa State, urged his supporters not to pay attention to the opposition figures as they were in a coalition to unseat themselves.
He said: “Just don’t pay them any attention. They are the political IDPs. Don’t give them a home. The hope is here.”
The President, who commissioned projects initiated by the state government, commended Governor Abdullahi Sule for bringing development to the state.
