Kemistri4: Some previously very popular politicians has gone into hibernation ahead of next year's election
So here's my List
1) YEMI OSINBAJO
What I loved most about this one is the sharp sharp pictures his photographer always produces. But since the primary election, very little is heard of him. Sha, he should loan that his brilliant photographer to LP, PO really need it. Their photos and videos are poor quality
2) ROCHAS OKOROCHA
This one was very outspoken as governor and senator but it seems Uzodinma has humbled him in Imo . Did he even win a return ticket to the Senate? 0 votes in the presidential primary despite asslicking northerners by speaking hausa. Last I heard, the court granted him medical leave abroad. It seems it'll be a while before he surfaces again
3) ENYINNAYA ABARIBE
This guy calls himself "MMAGHA ND'IGBO" (Sword of Igbos) . He was very popular as Senate minority leader. Always castigating Buhari and his policies. But since defecting from PDP to APGA, very little is heard of him
4) UDOM EMMANUEL
I remember when NL frontpage used to be filled with testimonies of Udom's rule in Akwaibom. I rarely see it now. Since the PDP presidential primary, I've rarely heard from him. Is he going to the Senate or not?
5) ABUBAKAR MALAMI
Last I heard of the AGF, he was contesting for Kebbi gov. Did he win the primary? I rarely hear of him anymore. Indeed, life and position is transient
Add to this list guys, let's discuss and have fun
Osinbajo was never a politician. He was opportunist to be nominated as VP

Emmamay10: That is the bitter truth. All indicators now are in favour of Atiku. Obi could try later when the Nigeria political atmosphere favours igbo extraction.
future impossible tense. It can never favour them because after election they will go back to 'no leflendum no erection"
buksarki: There is no way this rubbish will not make front page, all the rubbish he has been saying against Buhari and Tinubu never for once make frontpage. Watch and see .
are you saying lalasticlala and myn44 will also move this to FP?
As long as God spares their lives, either Atiku or Tinubu will be President. My money is on Atiku. He’s the best candidate. Also, the math favours him. NW has 22.7 million voters. SW has 18.3 million. Twitter has ZERO. It is all a matter of mathematics. Not emotion!
No fewer than 21 cows have been shot dead by unknown gunmen who invaded a settlement Odogwa community in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Chairman of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria in Rivers State, Mohammed Abubakar, disclosed this at a media briefing in Port Harcourt.
Abubakar said the incident occurred at about 9pm on Wednesday when the cattle rearers went to town to buy some beverages, saying of the 21 cows killed, 15 were pregnant.
He expressed shock over the attack, because according to the him, the cattle rearers have been living in harmony with members of their host community.
Abubakar said, “They shot 21 cows and before the Miyetti Allah people came back, the gunmen had escaped.
“The cows were littered on the ground dead, just like that. Some just gave birth; some are pregnant. More than 15 were pregnant.
“In the morning, they went back to find out what had happened to provoke the attack and they took their complaint to the monarch of the community and other residents there.
“They too expressed surprise that they don’t know what happened. We have been living peacefully with the people in this community for long, even when our cows destroy crops, we pay for the damages.
“We also pay for the place we are living, yet this sort of thing happened to us. If there was anything wrong that the cattle rearers have done that the people don’t like, they should tell.”
Meanwhile, the Chairman of Northern Community in Rivers State, Musa Saidu, has sued for peace and called for a thorough investigation into the incident.
When contacted, spokesperson of the state police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, said she was in a meeting and asked our reporter to send a message.
She had yet to give a feedback as of the time of filing this report on Thursday.
Former Aviation Minister and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Femi Kani-Kayode has said the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu played a major role in the national recognition accorded late M.K.O Abiola.
Fani-Kayode disclosed that Tinubu fought for the restoration of June 12 which was declared Democracy Day from 2018 till now by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Recall that Buhari changed Democracy from May 29 to June 12 in 2018 and in the following year named the National Stadium in Abuja after MKO Abiola specifically on June 12, 2019.
Abiola who has been immortalised as the hero of democracy for winning the presidential election on June 12, 1993, declared himself the President on June 11, 1994, and was arrested and detained by the late military Head of State, General Sani Abacha.
He died in the gulag of the military dictator on July 7, 1998.
On Tuesday, Fani-Kayode on his verified Twitter page said Tinubu has committed himself to democracy by playing a great part in the revival of Abiola’s June 12 mandate.
Fani-Kayode said, “Bola Ahmed Tinubu fought for the restoration of MKO Abiola’s June 12 mandate and 20 years after he was martyred, he ensured that the National Stadium was named after him and that June 12 was declared Democracy Day. There is no greater evidence of his commitment to democracy and justice than this.”
The Chief Whip of the Nigerian Senate, Orji Kalu, has said he would bring military forces to “comb” bushes in Abia State and “kill” those behind insecurity in the state.
Mr Kalu stated this on Saturday during his visit to the Umunneochi Local Government Area of the state as part of his ward assessment tour of Abia North District which he represents.
Mr Kalu, a former governor of Abia, also posted a video clip of the visit on his Facebook page.
He said the insecurity in the state will end after the bushes would have been combed by security agencies within the next four months.
“What is happening in Abia is not acceptable to me. We will comb the bush in Umunneochi Local Government Area; we will comb the bush in Ohafia Local Government Area, and we will comb the bush in Arochukwu and Bende Local Government Areas,” he said.
The senator said bushes in the other parts of the state would also be raided by security agencies to destroy camps of criminals operating in the state.
“I am warning everybody, do not allow your children to live in the bush. Anything they (military) see in the bush, they will destroy,” Mr Kalu said.
He said the raid would resume in November but did not give details.
“We will come with the Nigerian Airforce. We will come with the Nigerian Army. We will come with everybody,” he said.
The former governor of Abia State also bemoaned the impact of the sit-at-home order in the South-east which is enforced every Monday by the outlawed Indigenous People Biafra.
“We want peace here. We want our businesses to continue. The Igbos are losing N25 billion each day they close their businesses. And they cannot continue. I wish I am still the governor of Abia State, but I am not the governor,” Mr Kalu said.
The Senator, a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said he would hold a meeting with the state governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, next week to ensure “we reposition the state and cooperate with the Federal Government of Nigeria.”
He said he is a patriotic Nigerian, and that he has always stated his stance on the Igbo cause.
Mr Kalu said he acted in the overriding interest of the Igbos when he was the Abia State governor.
“President (Muhammadu) Buhari will surprise you people in the next four months. Warn your children to leave the bush, because we will comb the bushes,” the Senator told his constituents.
“Anything we see in the bush, we will kill because we have disturbed the president so much that there is insecurity (in the South-east). The aircraft will come here. It will be a surprise raid. So, people living in the bushes should leave. All parts of Abia, we will comb it,” Mr Kalu added.
Worsening insecurity Abia State has witnessed increased criminal abduction lately, especially in Umunneochi. Several people, including clerics, have been abducted by gunmen in recent attacks.
About 10 days ago, gunmen abducted a catholic priest and a seminarian along the Okigwe-Umunneochi Road, which is between Imo and Abia States.
The victims were released two days later after reportedly paying ransom to their abductors.
Barely 24 hours before the attack on the clerics, gunmen abducted a police officer at Mbala Divisional Police Headquarters in Isuochi Community, Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State.
In July, gunmen abducted some travellers in Lokpanta, a community in Umunneochi Local Government Area of Abia State.
Last month, gunmen abducted scores of passengers along the Enugu-Port Harcourt highway between Leru and Ihube Communities of the council area in the state.
