Rubber stamp national assembly ?

Nigeria is totally gone

Imagine what a rep member is saying

Peace is all we need.
Nigeria needs healing.
Let love lead.

For the love that binds us, I hope I get an assistance of any amount to help solve a health-threatening challenge. The hardship is much.

The rubber-stamped stooges or another NASS?

COMRADES, the National Assembly had no other options than to accept the Tinubu and Wike's devilish proposal against Rivers State

Do you mean RUBBER STAMP national assembly ?

Immediately I saw the news of explosion in river state yesterday I knew it is the hand work of APC government to justify their plan of declaring state of emergency in river state and fubara fell for BAT trap.

Wike will really learn the game BAT is playing with him in a hard way.

Then let them approve it on television

The president can't really make the pronouncements without consulting the house of assembly

Ugoshiyere, nice job.
You did a really good job at ensuring Fubara didn't retrace his steps.

Falana, you gave Fubara bad advice and ensured he stuck to it. Nice job.

Obidients, thanks for infecting Fubara with your generational bad luck.

See you all in 6 months.

Allow rivers rest Lagos-Ibadam express news media 😒😒

Orangutan is a TERRIBLE president

In other words, the state of emergency is here to stay.

As it stands , Wike might become the second version of hope uzodinma....who operates activities of the state from Abuja........

Wike might have just created a huge rift for himself by himself against the good people of River State .....don't let anyone deceive u.....

For having destroyed the state assembly , fubara effed up sha.....fubara sef Na really kpomo!!

The coming days will be interesting.

Very soon Tinubu will remove ALL of them and will put Oluomo, Sego, Ridwane, Koko Zaria, Jalupon, Edaomoibi, Ejo, Jewondu, Abu as NASS .

Creek boys will start sabotaging oil installations in Rivers now.
Tinubu just did this to please wike.
Only god knew the agreement between the two prior to 2023 elections.

National Assembly and the Nigeria Senate will always speak in Tinubu language. Who born them well to speak against Tinubu here. What I only know is that power is transient.

This is how you do things. You make sure the law is on your side. You dont go demolishing assembly, withholding pay for elected officials, appointing cabinet and approving budget with 4 because you have opposition like ugochinyere, alatenuje elders, and militants edging you on. You are the governorer of a state for Gods. Sake!

What law did Wike break, you can’t point to one but in your foolishness you put your governorship on the line!

He should be grateful to Tinubu who has just saved him from certain impeachment!


Meanwhile Natasha will be pained she is no longer top story

What was he suppose to say? He is just a spokes person and said what happened and you are saying imagine what he is saying. Was he suppose to say things differently or what?

but all obi Mumu are billionaire's now

Politically,that’s the right move from the President
As the GCON,he has the right to interfere in a state where the government hasn’t been able to take control of its constituents or constituency.
But as a country filled with diversity,we will always bring moral sentiments to whatever judgement a current istration commands.

It’s easier to cut out a rotten finger than cutting off the whole hand

Who told you the creek boys blew the pipeline previously?

How are you sure it wasn't Fubara's enemies who blew it up to implicate Fubara since the dunce already said boys were waiting for his sign.

Tinubu don answer them
