Tinubu yesterday claimed that he wasn't interested in a one party state for Nigeria.

But his body language and actions show that what he actually wants is a strong and stable APC, coexisting with other weakened opposition parties.

He doesn't want a one party state but he wants a highly weakened opposition.

Weakened by Federal power, weakened by Federal resources.

Kudos to Seriake Dickson.

I have got maximum respect for politicians who are standing up to Tinubu despite very many others bowing and cowing in fear to a Democrat by mouth but a tyrant at heart!

Even though they are not saints themselves but maximum respect for the likes of Seriake Dickson, Rotimi Amaechi, Nasir El Rufai, Peter Obi, etc.

Unfortunately Fubara has already bent over backwards and is currently licking the feet of his oppressor in chief at Aso Rock.

A man who preaches democracy but unconstitutionally removes an elected state Governor,,
Giving a very powerful and very colourful democracy day speech at the "hallowed" chambers of a group of lawbreakers who had the temerity to decide on an elected state Governor's removal using a voice vote.

A voice vote for a two-thirds majority!!

Even in Lucifer's hell, that wouldn't be possible!!


Hallowed chambers indeed!!

Unfortunately the so called Hallowed chambers is not a house of honourable men, but men with chequered pasts , some like the President with criminal convictions.

Look at Akpabio he should really be in jail but once he ed the APC all sins forgiven or forgotten for now. A man that contested at the primaries for Presidency but somehow with our " criminal judicial ⚖️system" still became a senator 😞.

The National Assembly is filled with DISHONOURABLE men.

This one was blind when Fubara burned down the State of Assembly in Rivers. He was blind when Fubara prevented elected house from doing their job..
This one should go and read up in what democracy means

What did you do when the problem started until it escalated

A leader like you could have brokered peace

A senator was handcuffed and dragged out by Trump security agents in America.

A drastic problem need drastic response

By now many pipelines would have gone in flames in Rivers but for the emergency
pipelines are more important than human lives bn wasted weekly in Benue & plateau ba?

Pipeline is more important than ur life?

What talk! Had the FG not declared a State of Emergency in Rivers State there would have been a conflagration there. The numbskull who demolished the House of Assembly complex to prevent his impeachment will light up the entire State in flames at the sure sitting to impeach him. To say otherwise is to live in denial of the obvious!

Valid point from Dickson. Though the emergency was necessary but restoring the elected government at this time would have helped him score more political points
Speaking from two side of the mouth is called hypocrisy.

Have they solved the root cause of the problem, if no, why should he be restored.

I know you well na though didn't know you Tinubu. See, the initial calculations was simple, obi to win SS/ SE while Tinubu neutralize him with NE/ NW overtaking obi. Obi to win NC while Tinubu knocks him by winning SW. Unfortunately, obi struggled to win SS and lost north central so how did he win? The calculations for the spread was never in his favour

Quite sad
APC will never win a single state in South South

2027 will be Nigerians VS APC
Hmmmmn, how did they manage to 'win' Rivers back then? Cos no matter what people claim, as far as 2023 results record indicates, they 'won' Rivers. So it will be difficult to judge with how people will vote which is obvious BUT concern should be what results will be declared.

I don't subscribe to this assertion, how could anyone believe that?
Can't you also see What is happening in Rivers State presently?
There is a clear road map to Rivers State of emergency, that is for Tinubu and Wike to loot state fund and place Wike's people to all position. Why didn't Tinubu recall Sim on June 12th? The simple truth is that LGA election hasn't taken place which is one of their aim.

Can Tinubu accept this from anyone? Can Wike accept this from anyone? Is Rivers State the only State that a predesor assisted a successor? It happened in all the state including Lagos State.

Why is Rivers different? Because one man just want everything to be done by him. Even Tinubu is not acting in Lagos the way Wike acts in Rivers.

The worst is that Rivers people are welcoming the evil and atrocities with glove hands by their body language.
Well written statements. I laugh, when some people give the excuse that the state of emergency declaration in Rivers saved Sir.Fubara from impeachment. That is a pure lie.

How you guys conveniently lie to yourselves never cease to amaze me
As in are you guys really sane, rational and logical humans?
The mastermind of the whole fracas in Rivers is a minister appointed by same Tinubu. The House is fighting his war with the gov. He issued threats and made inflammatory statements so many times against the governor and government of the state and even threatened other states.
Yet it is the governor that should be removed to foster peace.
I don't know what you guys think you're doing but be rest assured that you can't build a country on lies no matter how many people choose to embrace the lies

PBAT saved Fubara from being impeached. River State issue is more than meet the eye.

Sim Fubara is coming back.....
PBAT has no business engaging in illegality to save anyone
Are you saying if a gov commits an impeachable offence, and he happens to be close to the president, all the president needs to do to save a friendly gov us declare a state of emergency and sack the gov and legislature?
Are we in a jungle or banana Republic?

blackgold2018:
for him to say this speech. Don't you think Sim is playing to the media. Like pressing APC button just for it to seem all is settled.

If all is settled. You will hear it from Wike. Even Tinubu would ve re installed him yesterday if all is settled. Tinubu has already settled Wike from the states allocation.
So be calming down. The rift is still on. And we re patiently waiting when the 6months elapses. And see whats the president's motive. We already know its all about his Rivers votes in 2027

Ok bros, time as it is said is a revealer.
