Senator Ali Ndume has urged President Bola Tinubu to prioritise maintaining a strong relationship with former President Muhammadu Buhari, warning that Buhari’s influence in Northern Nigeria remains significant despite no longer being in office. Speaking, Ndume said that while Buhari may have only one vote, his popularity among the Northern masses—especially the working class known as the Talakawas—should not be underestimated. “Buhari’s followership has diminished naturally because it is different when you are not in power and after spending like eight years in power,” Ndume said. “Of course his popularity, everything has diminished, it is natural, but you can’t write him off especially with the Northern masses. The followership of Buhari has been occultic. You cannot explain it. “If Buhari is coming here now, you will see people rushing to see. Everybody including those in the vegetable market will rush here. Buhari is still with the Talakawas.” The senator’s comments come hours after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar led a delegation of opposition leaders to visit Buhari in Kaduna—a move that stirred speculation about shifting political alliances. Ndume, who has been critical of the Tinubu istration, revealed he also plans to visit Buhari soon and emphasised the political weight the ex-president still carries. “Tinubu should be worried if Buhari is not on his side,” he said. “Every number counts and Buhari has one vote. Tinubu should also be worried about my position. Because I have one vote for him. He does not have a vote for me.” Ndume urged Tinubu to declare a state of emergency in Nigeria’s security and economy sectors. “Let the president forget about everything and concentrate on three things – security, welfare of citizens and economy,” he said. “His attention should go there as number one, then he should create a state of emergency in those areas.” Suggesting how the president should have handled the crisis in Rivers State, the lawmaker said: “I feel that the president would have worked seriously on bringing them and solving the problem rather than declaring a state of emergency. Call them, seat them down and say ‘go and sort your problem.’” https://www.vanguardngr.com/2025/04/tinubu-should-be-worried-if-buhari-isnt-on-his-side-ndume/ |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkss2frErVo Funny how the Senator representing Anambra Central in the National Assembly, Victor Umeh, openly dared the embattled Labour party chairman Julius Abure and his national working committee to try recontesting if he feels labour party people love him that much and don't want to lose him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSnHbKtZlZk Jake Epelle, a prominent human rights activist and Executive Director of TAF Africa, has strongly condemned the recent appointment of s in the 23 local government areas of Rivers State, calling the move unconstitutional and an affront to the nation’s democratic principles. The appointments were made by Vice iral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas (rtd), raising eyebrows across the state. Epelle, in an interview on Thursday, accused the state government of undermining the Nigerian Constitution. “Rivers State people are smarter to know when people are trying to play on their intelligence. This is simply ‘Demo-crazy.’ What they are doing is further denigrating the constitution of Nigeria, which they swore an oath to uphold,” he said. Epelle expressed disappointment at the appointment of Ibas, labeling him as “illegal” and questioning the motives behind the decision. “I will not mince words to describe the so-called sole as illegal. His appointment is illegal. I think they are pushing us to the limit. Rivers people are resilient and peaceful, but this whole drama is becoming laughable and very unconstitutional,” Epelle remarked. The human rights activist also raised concerns over the perceived lack of oversight, particularly from the National Assembly. He expressed bewilderment over why the legislature seemed to be allowing the situation to unfold without intervention. “The instruction the president gave him was to make regulations. I don’t think that he was sent there to make appointments. Are they telling us that they plan to extend this so-called emergency rule, when there are many states that are calling for emergency rules and they are looking the other way?” Epelle asked, referring to what he described as an ongoing “rigmarole” aimed at undermining the peace and economic stability of Rivers State. He also criticised the financial aspect of the istration’s activities, specifically questioning the proposed budget, which he believes is a tool for siphoning public funds. “Look at the so-called budget that he wanted to present, I see it as a way of siphoning funds,” he added. Furthermore in his remarks on the suspension of Rivers State Governor Fubara, Epelle questioned the sincerity of the federal government. “Anyone who is in a responsible leadership position will say a thing and keep his word. What they are doing right now doesn’t look to me like suspension but removal. They should be bold enough to say that they don’t want the democratic systems and values that are attributed to Rivers State to continue.” Epelle further warned about the potential consequences of these actions, drawing a parallel to the early stages of violent conflicts. “This is how genocide starts. The National Security Advisor needs to watch it. This is when to tell the president the truth. With the way things are going, it looks like they have deceived us to say suspension when they mean removal.” https://www.arise.tv/ibas-was-appointed-to-make-regulations-not-appointments-human-rights-activist-epelle-slams-fg-for-misusing-emergency-rule-in-rivers/ 1 Like |
