Ok... so On what condition will wike support pdp presidential election bid and work against tinubu as it is supposed to be .

At present, Wike will not support any presidential candidate from the PDP for whatever condition because he's working for the ruling APC government. Also because the South has 8 years by the unwritten constitution which every one is aware of. So, it's unreasonable to work towards unseating the incumbent only to install another southerner from another party since they'll all want to spend 8 years.

Besides, if PDP is to come into power now, it is the turn of Wike because Atiku is not an option (even if he's not joining the coalition). Apart from Wike, PDP has no candidate that's that popular and credible.

So, my own verdict is that the PDP should go and put it's house in order and prepare for 2031. By then, I know that Wike will be fully prepared because I don't see him defecting to any party.

The EFCC has no business issuing this defense. It's appalling how some people would always blame their internal party problems on third parties. Even if your governor is asked to port to another party, he would not if he does not have a reason to.

The reason many of them have been defecting lately is because this is the first time they've had enough funds in terms of allocation to pay salaries on time and have more than enough left to do projects and infrastructure that makes life easier for their people.

In order words, Tinubu's government is different positively.

Wikes new quarrel is with his Yesterday best friend and G5 members Makinde

The sooner they suspend this man for blatant anti party activities the better for PDP

A member who is glaring trying to pull a political party down and the political party is still holding meetings with him and signing agreements

If PDP cannot discipline Wike, then they should never win any election in Nigeria again, they should just dissolve that party as it is a source of fraudulent politicians gaining power and decamping thereby betraying the electorate while the party that should discipline its elected members and reiterate its governance program looks the other way

If Wike is suspended, the defections from PDP to APC you witnessed in the last couple of weeks will be a child's play. What will follow will be a tsunami of defections and will be to no other party than the APC.

So, PDP should not even think of trying that. They don't have such stamina.

AK481:
This thing is clear. Wike Is anti pdp.

The resolution agreed were all in his favour , yet he is not satisfied .

He will support tinubu in 2027 ,even If pdp present a jesus christ .

Wike is not anti-pdp. He sustained the party when the people fighting for the tickets all took flight and were only present when elections were around the corner. But he stayed and sustained the party and he still does up till date. This is why it's been difficult for the party to suspend him despite working for the ruling party.

I am not his fan but the fact that I don't like someone doesn't mean I would discredit his efforts and genuine intentions.

What I think he hates and which I hate too is that when we all have a meeting and we have agreements, if it's not okay by you, say it right there and let's discuss it. We might be able to see things from your own perspective and we iron things out maybe by shifting grounds and reaching compromise.

But we have agreements and you leave and are doing something else, completely different from what we agreed!

I would pull out completely and will forever find it difficult to trust you again.

And this is why God himself will need to intervene before PDP can come back to power at the center.

Peace!

OneCandleAway:
Does he think he can port to APC with this kind of attitude?

Of course he's free to port if he chooses to.

Don't forget that his contribution in terms of finances, influence and most importantly, delivery of territory will go a long way in securing a valuable position in APC!

Trust me, APC wants him but he's not a man to be cajoled. If he wants to do sth, he will do it and heaven will not fall. Haters will only make noise and keep quiet as they've always done since they don't call the shots.

Only those with myopic foresight will see nothing good in this Lagos - Calabar coastal road project. Someone said "It's just a difference of 120km/58km" but one is 13 hours and the other is less than 6 hours.

If not for anything, the economic benefits, value and opportunities it will offer alone is enough to support it (if you're not an enemy of progress!). But you are busy looking at the cost! Smh.

Unfortunately those who will benefit the most are the ones who, out of hatred for PBAT, fail to acknowledge it and see it as unnecessary, but when it's completed, I'm sure they'll see it a the viable alternative to their village and even want to abandon the 13hr road!.

Whether anybody likes it or not, the road being constructed is already providing indirect means of livelihood for thousands of people providing services for the workers constructing the road.

That's the same way they discredited Tinubu's effort when he initiated the filling of Bar Beach front at the time the Atlantic Ocean overflew it's boundaries and was threatening to overrun Victoria Island. They termed it a waste of funds and needless venture. Today, the same effort has lead to creation of a magnificent modern city known as the Eko Atlantic City where thousands (if not millions) of people now work and earn a living.

As a matter of fact, many blue chip companies are now moving their head offices to the same location.

In addition, those who built the Third Mainland Bridge in the 80s also had that foresight when it looked like a waste but today, the absence of the same bridge in Lagos is better imagined than experienced!

Therefore, I don't join issues with children of hate. When the road is completed, it's not compulsory to use it as the old road is still there, open and available! But the Lagos - Calabar coastal road will be new and tolled ... and we will gladly pay the toll fees and get to our destination on time!

Peace!

See confidence.

Now and and again, I still go back to listen to the famous and now historical 'Emilokan' speech to remind myself of the importance of self belief in my professional and business circles.

When you tell a sitting President, it is my turn, and there is nothing you can do about it, and you make it happen. It is incredible.

As far as I am concerned, that Emilokan speech is an epochal political speech in the history of Nigeria. It will never be forgotten.

You can say that again!

9jatriot:
Can't this IPMAN consider building their own refinery if they do not like Dangotte? Must they import?

God will bless you for this comment! I hate it when people keep complaining without making the move to challenge the status quo.

IPMAN should build their own refineries and crash the prices beyond what Dangote is offering.

Sitting in one place to make the kind of complain you weren't making when the whole thing was favoring you will not change anything!

Even the Dangote fuel is still overpriced and we all know but for now, it's the only refinery we have and we are bound to buy at whatever price he offers.

Peace!

Are you a trained professional educator? Did you go to school and became an expert education administrator at a professor level?
If you are not then you can't comprehend his explanations and by reason of your knowledge gap, you are part of the ọlọmọlanke he is referring to niyen.

Please go to school, study very hard such that years from now, you will tell people how Prof. Oloyede referred to you as ọlọmọlanke which served as motivation to you to become a professor.

One cold bottle for you 👍

May be the the reason is to stop the truck drivers from depriving themselves sleep which is also major cause of accidents during the days. I just hope the Enforcers Enforce with caution to avoid more disasters.

I think you have a valid point there

It is actually safer at night as the roads are free and there are no much vehicles on the road.

Besides, 90% of the tanker accidents that have ever occurred happened in the daytime.

At some point, Atiku needs to be fair to Nigerians.

We are not yet fully ready for someone of the same tribe to succeed someone from his tribe. Tafawa Balewa was succeeded by an Igbo man (Ironsi) who was succeeded by an Angas (Gowon) who was succeeded by a Fulani (Murtala Muhammed). Murtala Muhammed was succeeded by a Yoruba man (Obasanjo) who was succeeded by a Fulani (Shagari). Shagari was succeeded by Fulani (Buhari) who was toppled by IBB, whose exact ethnic identity is still controversial. IBB was succeeded by a Yoruba man (Shonekan) who was succeeded by a Kanuri (Abacha). ABaqcha was succeeded by an Hausa (Abdusalam Abubakar) who was succeeded by Yoruba (Obasanjo) followed by Fulani (Yar'adua) and Ijaw (Jonathan). Jonathan was succeeded by a Fulani (Buhari) who was succeeded by Yoruba (Tinubu).

If we want to be fair, an Igbo, Edo, Itsekiri, Efik and so on also deserve a shot. But rotating the presidency among 371 ethnic groups is impractical. But moving the presidency twice in one ethnic group in one succession is unfair. When Buhari succeeded Shagari then, we saw the mess both of them left, and the further mess IBB (who has also been rumoured to be Fulani) left that Nigeria is yet to recover from.

Atiku has aspired in every election since 2007. Even as he aspires for 2027, he has not yet come to explain to us how he'd be different. The outcome of his first outing with Obasanjo ended in disaster especially in the gross mismanagement of power sector reforms, sale of government assets, dollar subsidy in the name of defending the naira, getting debt relief to borrow new debt instead of plugging the funds into building a new national or regional grid or rapid industrialization and political indiscipline through electoral fraud him and Obasanjo masterminded.

Atiku may need to accept he had his chance and the results are not encouraging.

As for the matter of rotating the presidency, we must understand that unity is a fundamental ingredient that we need as a nation. Many may call for secession. Without seceding, look at how Simon Ekpa encouraged his people to murder his people. If Nigeria secedes, these pockets of violence may be spread into smaller groups as they'd still cry marginalization. For now, let each state invest in internal security. Set up vigilante groups, so that your own people would police their communities. Instead of using the funds to sponsor unproductive Hajj subsidies which add no value to the states, use them to pay those vigilante. By the time people feel safe, secure and can fend for themselves, no one would care so much about who is in Abuja. Until such a time, let the presidency rotate between north and south, but not between north and north or south and south.

His followers know this but just will not agree with you!

Martin Luther King - " I had a dream "

Forget 2nd term, that is a foregone conclusion. Pray Tinubu doesn't do 3rd & 4th Terms ni

Someone who mocked a sitting President for crying and being a serial loser.

Someone who faced President + Vice President + Senate President + Party Chairman + CBN Governor and flogged them COMBINED.

Someone whose own Party did fuel scarcity and currency shortage just to stop him. Used Muslim-Muslim ticket..

and you are here still dreaming about 2nd Term

Enemy plenty but PBAT na one of a kind!

Hoelujohn:
Trying to link it to Tinubu's achievements is crap.

That is not even my point (tho, it's still Tinubu who made it possible via increase in federal allocation)

My point is that we've been complaining of brain drain in the health sector and been looking for solutions, only for a governor to take the lead by increasing the minimum salary for doctors to 500k from 150k.
...and all you could say was that the things 150k would get two years ago, 500k would not get it now.

With your statement, do you think other governors will be encouraged to do the same? Since they know you don't appreciate anything, so their efforts will be seen as wasted!

We all know that your governors don't bother performing and now I know why.

You don't ever appreciate performance!

Even if they kill themselves for you, you would still complain that they were supposed to have died on a Sunday.

Dennisochampa:
Would you have preferred for the salary to stay at 150k cos I don't know what you guys want at all....

We understand things have increased.. But now salary have increased by more than 100 percent....

Make them begin borrow to pay salaries

God abeg o...

Imagine o, salary increased by about 250% and that one is here vomiting! Spits

Hoelujohn:
If you actually have something upstairs, you would know that what #150k can buy 2 years ago, 500k will struggle to buy it now. Kiss the truth

In other words, he has not tried or he has done a bad thing!

Let me reserve my comments because I don't want to talk.

casualobserver:
when we tell people that 2027 is a done deal and the work now is for 2031/2039 they insult me. The job that made Tinubu president in 2023 was done in 2015. If you are commenting on politics and you think Obi or Atiku can win this election, just know you dont understand politics.

I told you after the election , that If Obi was wise he would keep quiet and stop courting attention. people voted for him because they didnt have enough time to examine him, the more he talks the more people realise he is unelectable! Atiku cannot get 1m votes outside of PDP and PDP is not giving him their ticket.

I agree with you 💯. A lot of people believe that politics is a game you start planning just when you need to win! Unfortunately, I don't blame people for their shallow understanding. As far back as 2015 when Tinubu was working for 2023, a vast majority of our Gen z were kids in primary school or JSS classes!

Before you even make contribution to political topics at all, you must check the antecedents. That is the only way you would not argue of point. Else, you will just keep sharing whatever you were told and not what you witnessed.

I think HE Peter Obi and his obidients should start working on 2038 after the northern tenure. The 2027 election is as gone as a ship that has left the shore. And he needs to be really smart about it because people like Nyesom Wike and Dave Umahi will most likely be in the race by then. And since we have seen their performances, they are going to pull crowd.

Just my personal opinion!

ArcSEMPECJ:
His impacts and donations are based on the needs of the schools or hospitals he visits as building a school hall , hospital etc is also one of his legacies....

Kindly name one hospital and other ones he built singlehandedly and post pictures. Those are the things that can further help his campaign not just donations to support. Anybody can support projects.

The donations he's made so far is enough to actually singlehandedly handle beneficial projects that people can point to.

Finally, let him build people. That's the smartest thing to do. When you build people, the people you build will always come through for you. It also makes your journey easier and shorter. But if it's all about you and you alone, when it's time for work to be done, you will also do it alone!

It's very bad not to have the people who have become somebody in the society on mere fact that they are connected to you.

HE Peter Obi making donations here and there #10m each time and place. You try sha o.

But, remember that the impacts of your donations is limited to the things your fans are able to lay claims to.

Why not take up projects (infrastructure and/human capital), have them supervised and have them successfully completed and then it's named after you to further propagate your good works.

That way, people can come up to say "he built a hospital for the Anglican community at so so place, he built a school for so so community in Anambra state, he constructed a bridge to control flooding at so so place in Anambra, he did this, he did that".

It is much better that way than donating to support.

As it stands, if I also make donations of #10,000 to that same building, it means we both donated funds. So, how are we different? Because none of us can lay claims to it.

Do things that your supporters will use as campaign points for people to see and make good comments.

Just my own personal opinion.

So far, Gov. Soludo has been the best governor Anambra has ever produced.

I see him going far in politics.

Nanalucky:
Atiku should no run......pls...if they want to win...,he should support another person

How on earth would you expect him to suspend his presidential ambition? It's never going to happen, he must be the candidate and he must get the ticket to run for president.

I don't even see this happening because up till now, Peter Obi is still looking at the coalition from afar as if he is not even interested. I believe the momentum has to be gathered first before he now comes in to claim the ticket. But right now I don't even know if he still remember of the Labor party or he has become. Or has he just stepped aside to know which party he wants to go next?

Anyways, wishes do come true.

Icetech:
Tinubu wants to cripple all political parties from inside.

Our hope is on God!

...
And you are proud to say this! If your unity and security is so weak to the extent an outsider infiltrates your party, then, the integrity of you and your party members needs to be critically reassessed.

Chienex24:
So obi means igbo.president and that is what you fear?? I can see the real reason of hatred against obi because he is not a Nigerian but an ignorant person! People are crazy

I have always said this and obidients never seize to disappoint. For them to comment or make a point, they must insult you. How has ruling Anambra without any visible impact translate to "people are crazy"?

You don't get elected by insulting people on social media. But I'm not surprised, majority of them are born after year 2000. And as such, they were toddlers and kids when he was governor. So, they would always swallow whatever they're fed hook, line and sinker.

Common respect for other people's opinion on Nairaland, mbanu!

Sharpsharp00123:
Provided we still have the 3 options of tinubu, Atiku, obi.

I will always pick tinubu.

Before u come here to attack me, check their records and legacies, if not for sentiment and tribal politics how can someone tell me that obi did better than tinubu as governor?

Obi funds were never delayed by federal government still he couldn't pay doctors n lecturers whereas we all know what happened between obj n tinubu still tinubu created local government council n employed more with no delay in salary payment.

Let's talk about infrastructure, let's talk about only lekki free trade zone n how much it fetches Lagos, tell me d equivalent obi did in anambara.

Like seriously let's leave tribal politics n sentiment aside obi no near tinubu, I know d Igbos anger that it should b their turn which is still understandable but that doesn't mean u should compare obi to Tinubu.


It's still ok if u tell me it's Igbo turn, I will understand but telling me obi is better than Tinubu can never work

I agree with you 💯

Pristine664:
The kind of news that get Obidients really upset. 😆
Somebody said in the other thread recently that he bought 50kg rice for 65k at a particular location. Obidients descended on him, insulted him and his family, claiming rice is still 90k and above everywhere, only for another person to confirm it with a receipt.

I still wonder why good news get them so livid.

Obidients can hardly can make comments without insulting the poster. I just wonder if that is how most of them were brought up.

DrAda:
Hmmm. Commendable but vague. I have so many questions

what are your questions?
