Arresting this man was one of the many terrible mistakes Buhari did. The guy was not this popular until he was arrested, charged to a Nigeria court and the Nigeria court with the Nigeria constitution asked him to be free but no he wasn't released.

YesDaddyTill203:
Like I have previously stated. Even the Nigerians complaining about bad govt don't really care about good governance, what they really care about is that the person they support is in charge.
Just listen to all these NL wailing wailers. How can you support 5 members against 27? Just imagine if 5 members tried to impeach this Governor, these same people will be crying how illegal that it. They will be crying that this is the end of democracy.
But just because they don't like Wikez they are are willing to support a Governor setting the assembly on fire, they are ok with 5 members controlling the assembly and against a clear majority of 27. They are even ok with a Governor demolishing the house of assembly just to prevent the 27 members from doing what they are legally allowed to do under the law.
Now you can see that even the wailing wailers don't care about what is right or what is wrong, as long as the side they support is winning according to them.
If and when Wike and his own gang start to fo their own illegalities, then social media will be filled with cries of democracy is dead blah blah blah. HYPOCRITES.

I partly agree with u on a general note but specifically as it applies to Rivers I beg to differ, where the 27 majority elected to impeach an elected governor on the ground that he fails to do the biddings of his predecessor who helped him became governor? So it's been a show of illegality all along. No human is and can be God.

What a tragic way to end the year, 4 is now bigger than 27. Smh.

In just less than 3 months he got into office, Sim Fubara started fighting his political benefactor. Less than 3 months out of 4 years o!

Not new to Nigeria politics, remember Rotimi Amaechi NGF election during GEJ? It might be bad as u rightly said but worse than that is the 27 members decamping to another party within the same time!!! It's a season movie, the end is not in sight yet.

descarado:

Lots of things are very cheap in uk. The joy is you can get the expensive yet very good ones in charity shops if you know your onions. So you can literally furnish your house like a big man from charity shops. Some of the things there haven't been used but they are obeying the law of the land.
Also the so called bills are okay unless you are illegal who don't have a good job.
And you can still save a lot.

The problem with Nigerian is when they travel abroad, they want to show they have hammered and go on speedy credits. Big car,big mortgage,big everything all on credit. And then blame govt.
UK govt subsidised almost everything for her people cos they do not run capitalist economy.
Health is free. We don't add that at all.
We see that as our right. Very ungrateful people we are.

Even schooling. Govt is virtually sponsoring you in uni if you meet the requirement.

We are never satisfied.
Next April, an increment in minimum wage. How many times has Nigerian govt done that?


Thank you for this.
The "I have arrived" mentality of our people is what put most in trouble

Ayedatiwa knows well. He isn't fighting this battle after the President's intervention. Akeredolu's camp is just trying to soil him and Make him unappealing to the President's camp. Make him unworthy of any possible compensation from the presidency, as a result of disrespect to the wishes of the presidency

Very possible especially in APC setting

Let the Governor come out and be doing his job if he's capable health wise and if he's truly incapacitated let the deputy be declared acting till he's fit to resume.

misano:


I regret it o. As a Deltan, I regret supporting him. I will not support any Igbos candidate. The Igbos don't know how to build relationships with other tribes. After the election they are fighting in every region that Obi won. Truth be told Igbos will likely not be president in Nigeria. They will have to go with their Biafra.

I don't believe in this kind of generalization to start with, there are good igbos, there are bad Igbos, the same applies to all other tribes as well. Secondly, I support PETER OBI not igbo
Politics / Re: Aisha Yesufu Reacts As Governor Otti Spends ₦927M On Food, Others by Yelight(m): 11:15pm On Nov 20, 2023
Ekeke is the Deputy Chief of Staff to Governor Alex Chioma Otti of Abia State

This image has continued to move from timeline to timeline. But the comparison is not particularly fair. The Alex Otti government has since addressed it on radio. But it appears many on Twitter did not follow the explanations. I will go ahead and speak to it now.

No two Govt Houses are the same. Each has their peculiarities. What we inherited in Abia was a Govt House with over 700 staff. We reduced them to over 500 (through reposting). But the overhead and personnel costs of the 700+ personnel are part of the figures you’re seeing.

You’ve seen images of really decayed roads all over Abia State, but that decay permeated every structure of the state, including govt offices. We have been able to renovate some offices, e.g. the political block that houses many appointees, the protocol building, the banquet hall.

The SSG’s official residence, the Chief Judge’s and the Chief of Staff’s were all in terrible shapes and had to be renovated. In fact, the Chief Judge’s was unlivable. And the renovation is still ongoing. She is putting up in another apartment until hers is completed.

The renovations also came with furniture, as the last administration carted away most of the furniture in their offices when they were leaving. Shortly upon assumption of office, Gov Alex Otti set up a judicial panel of enquiry to recover all stolen Govt assets.

The Commissioners’ Quarters was totally abandoned. It was overgrown with weeds. It was built with govt funds and the Alex Otti administration insisted that commissioners would live there. Govt was not going to give them money to go rent apartments. But it also had to be renovated.

Further, a lot of agencies are directly under the Govt House, instead of ministries. Examples are:
a. Fire Service,
b. Homeland Security (used to be a full fledged ministry but now an agency,
c. State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA),
d. Umuahia Capital Development Authority,
e. ASOPADEC,
f. ASEPA,
g. Abia State Orientation Agency (ABSOA),
h. Infrastructural Promotion Agency,
i. Public Procurement Bureau,
j. Marketing & Quality Control Agency,
k. Abia State Signage and Advertisement Agency (ABSAA),
l. ABSEDA and others.

The costs of running these agencies, including personnel, overhead & capital were charged to Govt House. I am not sure that Ebonyi State bought 20 Toyota Hilux trucks for any special military operation. But Abia did for “Operation Crush”. That cost is part of the report.

The agencies above were what we inherited. Gov. Alex Otti earlier constituted a civil service reform committee to look at these issues and advise govt on how to rationalize them. They are done with the work and will be submitting their report any moment from now.

Worthy of note is that the immediate past govt stopped paying salaries in February. From June, our first month in office, Gov Otti insisted on paying twice every month to clear the March-May backlog. Those payments - some of which were to the Govt House staff - are in this report.

On the one reported as “propaganda”, the Ministry of Information is a full fledged ministry. In fact, the current Information Ministry used to be 3 ministries under the past administration. Gov Otti merged them. Under the ministry is the Abia Broadcasting Corporation (BCA), Abia Newspaper and the State Tourism Board. Each has its staff. The cost of running these is in the report you’re seeing. It was not for propaganda. The Alex Otti administration is fortunate to be loved by the people and does not spend money pushing narratives.

Abians themselves, who appreciate the hardworking government, help us tell our story. In summary, what you’re seeing is like a movie trailer. It does not show the entire picture. The entire picture will show after an audited full year financial statement.

Thanks to all of you who called/texted to seek clarifications. Ours is a govt that is fully committed to making life better for the people. His Excellency Dr. Otti is actually his own critic. He’ll never do anything to shortchange the people who entrusted him with their mandate.

This thread was posted before I saw a sensational tweet by Sahara Reporters, claiming the govt spent N927m on food.

That post is false. Even the document SR published captured meals at N223.3m.

But I will urge everyone to await the govt’s official response on that.

Thank you

This is a different case, in Zamfara, one of their party members took them to court while in Bayelsa the deputy governor presented forged documents. So they are different senerio

A religious leader should be neutral. Keep your candidate to your chest. You can only urge your members to vote wisely but mentioning a candidate to be voted for is not biblical.

Very biblical sir, study the bible very well and you'll discover it is the sole responsibility of God's servant to tell the people who should lead them.
