Maybe it's time to consider it.

I believe Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan. Not because of anything she has said or done, but because of Godswill Akpabio’s brutish reaction and her well-oiled bullying by the senate and its president’s lackeys. No matter who you are, if a woman accuses you of sexual harassment, there’s only one way to go if you’re innocent: create the conditions for independent investigation of the allegation, knowing the only possible outcome is your exoneration. Again, only if you’re innocent. Her coup-like excommunication from the senate and the latest attempt by her ‘constituents’ to recall her inadvertently expose a desperate, despicable plan to shush her rather than establish the veracity of her claims. Everyone knows there are no Nigerian constituents with the time, finance, single-mindedness or effrontery to organically institute a recall process against a lawmaker for “misconduct”. The tomfoolery should stop already! How many thieving lawmakers have faced a recall for pillaging our commonwealth at our collective expense? Everyone knows, even if not many would admit it, that someone — personally or by proxy — is the instigator-in-chief of this recall attempt. And how can that not be Akpabio, the uncommonly corrupt former governor who stole N108bn from Akwa Ibom State (according to the EFCC), attempted to arm-twist the commission into submission via the courts but failed, only to then deviously defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), following which the case fizzled into oblivion while he himself subsequently transmogrified into Nigeria’s third most powerful official? The relentless politically-coordinated attacks on Natasha have all the trappings of ‘maradonic’ moves with which Akpabio pulled himself out of that EFCC rabbit hole and to the helm of Nigeria’s upper chamber. There are no two ways about it: the more Akpabio fights Natasha, the more he implicitly convinces us of his culpability. The more he fights, the more he dirties his already-soiled apparel, the more we think ‘he did it’!

Mentally detached from this country as of now. I don't think I'd comment about anything Nigeria politics and the everyday struggles. We talk too much with little or no action.

"I found the courage to speak up" Nigerian senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan spoke to Sky's @annabotting about being suspended for six months after accusing the senate president of sexual harassment. He denies the allegations. trib.al/coroPDg 📺 Sky 501

When President Olusegun Obasanjo suspended Governor Joshua Dariye after imposing a state of emergency on Plateau State in May 2004, Governor Bola Tinubu of Lagos State declared it illegal.

The Supreme Court decided that the statutory allocations due to Rivers State should be withheld because the Governor did not recognize the House of Assembly, and did not present the budget before the said House for passage. President Tinubu claims that Governor Fubara, who had written to the same House to enable him present the budget, has failed to obey the Supreme Court. The same Tinubu went ahead to appoint a Sole Administrator after suspending the Governor, Deputy Governor, and the members of the House of Assembly. Now we are reading that the withheld allocations will be released to the Sole Administrator who is nothing but an impostor concocted capriciously by the President. So, the allocations were withheld because there was no House of Assembly or the Governor did not recognize the House, and did not present the budget, but you have now suspended both the Governor and the House and proceeded to appoint a Sole Administrator and handed over allocations to the Sole Administrator. How do you reconcile this? If it was right for the allocations to be withheld because there was no House of Assembly or due to the governor’s refusal to present budget before the House, on what legal, moral, or logical basis are you releasing the same allocations to a Sole Administrator after suspending the Governor and the House? Is the Sole Administrator a constitutional substitute for the House of Assembly and the Governor? Is this shenanigans all about stealing the allocations of Rivers State? Is that what this impunity is all about? Which budget will the Sole Administrator now use to appropriate the allocations of Rivers State? State funds and allocations cannot be appropriated without being enabled by an Appropriation Law. Sections 120 and 121 of the Constitution are very explicit on this. Tinubu has defecated on the Constitution of Nigeria.

Nobody's gonna do anything, and nothing will happen. Too docile a people. Should leave this place.

@vanguardngrnews I refuse to believe we are this docile a people.

The Chibok girls abduction in Borno was Jonathan's fault but the vandalization of pipeline in Rivers State is not Tinubu's fault GEJ was blamed for insecurity in the North, not the Governors But Fubara should be blamed for pipeline vandalization not Tinubu. APC maths is tough

FLASHBACK: How Tinubu rejected State of Emergency Declared by Jonathan dailytrust.com/flashback-how-…

Every Rivers indigene should be repulsive after yesterday's draconian proclamation. This usurpation should be repelled by every well meaning rivers resident and Nigerians the federation over.

In all this mess happening in rivers state I cannot even hear them talking about what rivers people want, everything nah bout wetin politicians want.

If you’re a Rivers person supporting a state of emergency in Rivers state, you’re a proper big fool!

@basilabia A despot, an usurper.

What Bola Ahmed Tinubu has done today with the state of emergency declaration in Rivers State is sacrilegious. This despot is going to destroy and capture Nigeria if we do not resist.

When I see people tweets about Rivers State, and they say; "he should negotiate with one man and his master" I feel total disgust. Because, tell me how resources meant for state development should be bargained for? You people are mad, that's the only explanation.

The unilateral decision of President Bola Tinubu to remove Governor Similaya Fubara of Rivers State from office is not only unconstitutional but also reckless. It has plunged us back into a state of lawlessness, hugely undoing the progress we have made in these 26 years of democratic journey. By disregarding the rule of law, the President has shown a dangerous willingness to trample on democracy. The declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State is not just reckless—it is a clear attempt to return us to a state of nature and tighten its grip on power at all costs. It is a degrading back door imposition of martial rule on a strategic part of the federation with all the implied negatives . The political situation on the ground in Rivers does not justify such an extreme measure, and it is also a biased interpretation of section 305(1) of the 1999 constitution. A state of emergency does not mean an elected Governor can be removed unilaterally. This decision does not align with democratic norms or good governance. Instead, it appears to be a predetermined action serving specific interests rather than the collective good of the people of Rivers State and Nigeria. This action constitutes an unconstitutional overreach, setting a dangerous precedent that threatens democracy, the rule of law, and the separation of powers. If left unchecked, it could foster a culture of impunity. Having already been grappling with non-adherence to electoral qualifications, rules, and massive rigging, adding arbitrary removal of elected officials will push us to a state of nature and anarchy. I appeal to the National Assembly and all stakeholders not to allow this to stand, as it only deepens the culture of impunity and brigand already threatening our democracy. A new Nigeria is POssible! -PO

The people have a duty and a right to resist anybody who they did not vote for stepping into Government house and running their affairs. Such dictated takeover would be either banditry or a coup d’etat on the Rivers people. What is tragic is that those doing all these anti-people things are on video and press report records lampooning similar decisions in the past.

Tinubu the usurper.
