"Before I assumed office, Anambra had over 1,000 active gully erosion sites. We cannot solve this alone — we need collaboration. And despite giving him just 5,000 votes in 2023, President Tinubu has shown us love Imagine what more we could achieve with stronger support in 2027?”

BREAKING: 🇳🇬🪖TROOPS ARREST FATHER, SON FOR TERRORISM IN SOKOTO FOREST
Troops of the Nigerian Army, supported by French Special Forces and the NCTC-ONSA tactical team, have arrested two suspected terrorists a father and his son in Bauni Forest, Tangaza LGA, Sokoto State. The suspects, identified as Muhammadu Ali and Umaru Ali, were apprehended during a coordinated operation. Recovered items include one AK-47 rifle, a magazine with three rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, ₦9,760, and three motorcycle tubes. They are in custody for further investigation.
Political will is a major issue; it's, in fact, more complex than finance.
The construction of the 4th Mainland Bridge alone will lead to the demolition of over 800 houses in the Ajah Axis.
The 7th Axial Road under construction will cut through ancestral communities and farmlands in Ibeju and Epe.
The Lagoon Road from VGC to Freedom Way will pass through Ikate Elegushi Land.
The coastal road displaced some communities in Okun Ajah and Ibeju.
If you are an indigene of any of these communities, would you be happy to see your ancestral village displaced and your people roaming around resettlement camps? Can you sacrifice your village for a road?
Whoever told you that these are simple political decisions to take is a joker. When PBAT gazetted the Lekki Free Trade Zone, the people reacted angrily; Action Congress lost the LG and House of Reps seat. It took the Lagos State Government a lot to manage the violence. The MD of the LFTZ was unalived over the land dispute.
Do you know that the government must resettle and compensate each of those communities? You think taking these decisions is a joke? You want a bridge, but you don't know the long, painful process that starts with stakeholder engagement.
You are very naive. Some natives don't care about your bridge; all they want is their 6 plots of farmland preserved, and they will fight till the end to hold on to the land.
If Peter Obi can’t manage relationships within his party and amongst his lieutenants, can he really handle an opposition National Assembly and a set of governors who are against him to achieve his lofty plans in the 4 years he has limited himself too?
One of the major qualities of a president especially one for a country like Nigeria is the ability to manage different interests, and Peter Obi has shown he absolutely lacks that ability.
Two Notorious Terrorist Leaders Haruna Balatoni and Black Neutralised in Plateau Military Offensive Another Fatally Wounded as Six AK-47 Rifles Returned
By: Zagazola Makama
Troops of the Nigerian Army have recorded major breakthroughs in ongoing offensive operations against armed criminal networks in Plateau State, neutralising two notorious terrorist leaders, critically wounding another and recovering six AK-47 rifles previously seized from security forces.
The latest developments followed sustained military offensives at Dajin Madam in Wase Local Government Area of Plateau State on November 8, 2026.
Security sources disclosed that HUMINT reports received at about 8:53 a.m. on November 9 indicated that the intensity of the military operation had resulted in the neutralisation of two suspected terrorist leaders identified as Haruna Balatoni and Black.
Another notorious figure, identified as Dogo Mai Kunkuru, was reportedly shot in the chest and left in a critical condition, with sources indicating that his chances of survival were slim.
In a significant development on November 10, the sustained military pressure reportedly compelled the terrorist network, through an intermediary identified as Ali-Kwara, to return six AK-47 rifles previously seized from security forces.
The recovered weapons are currently in military custody.
In a related operation, troops of 173 Battalion deployed at Mansur rescued a kidnapped mother and her daughter and recovered 39 cattle.
The developments represent a significant disruption of the criminal network's leadership, weapons stockpile and capacity to sustain operations in the Wase axis.
The recovery of the six rifles is particularly important as it restores weapons previously lost to the criminal network and provides an opportunity for further intelligence exploitation.
The latest successes underscore the impact of sustained offensive pressure, intelligence-driven operations and military presence in dismantling armed groups operating across Plateau State.
The reported deaths of the terrorist leaders and the condition of Dogo Mai Kunkuru are based on preliminary HUMINT assessments and remain subject to independent military confirmation
Yet again ibos are doing what they do best: destroy the image of Nigeria abroad! I have never seen a more vile people. Everywhere they go they bring problems, negativity and loathing. They have thing nack for creating enemies and sowing the seeds of anger in their host.
Why must they always commit crime? When do you ever hear any positive thing from these ibo vermins? I am so sick of sharing a national identity with these things called ibo. See, we had better prepare our minds for the time when we will have an opportunity to get rid of these ibos in Yorubaland. Nothing good can come from them being in our society!
A Nigerian man, Chibuzo, chopped off a Malaysian police officer’s wrist and was shot dead minutes later.
26-year-old Malaysian police officer was seriously injured after being attacked by a Nigerian man Chibuzor, who was armed with two machetes at Desa Aman Puri, Kepong, on Wednesday evening
The officer reportedly lost his right wrist while trying to defend himself. He was rushed to hospital and is now in stable condition, undergoing surgery in an attempt to reattach his hand.
The suspect, a Nigerian national, later attacked police again near a playground and was shot dead by police during the attempt to arrest him.
This is like saying the sky is blue and water is wet. You didn't have to have above-average intelligence to see that Obi is incompetent. Some of these people knew, but the momentum in 2022/2023 was such that they kept quiet and hoped to eat if Obi had won. Well, the whole obidient cult is unravelling and what's essentially left is the core ibo/ipob faction.
‘Everyone Who Came Close Saw A Huge Leadership Deficit’: Ex-Peter Obi Campaign Spokesperson Ndi Kato Mocks NDC Candidate As More 2023 Campaign Allies Dump Him | Sahara Reporters https://t.co/u1CnYXTsag
A couple of days ago, we rolled out 11 new electric buses across Lagos, the first batch of 50 from our partnership with Oando Clean Energy Limited.
After a successful test run with two buses, we are now scaling up. Working with the private sector allows us to cut down on emissions, clean up our air and make daily commuting better without waiting decades to get it done.
These 11 buses are on the road now and the rest are on the way. We are building a transport system that actually works for Lagosians today and holds up for the future.
The man who didn't handle affairs competently in LP, and who is yet again failing to handle his camp's affairs competently in NDC is somehow framed as a man who can handle the very complex politics of governing Nigeria. Talk about a joke.
The thing is that even the supporter of Obi know he is incompetent. The core of his base, the ibos, pretend he is a messiah because their own agenda is seeing an ibo in Aso Rock, even if it's a goat raised in iboland. You now have another group, the non-ibo camp who are around him because they are looking for power themselves. A prime example is Aisha. She wanted to go to the NASS, and she knows that nobody will take her seriously in a serious party. Obi was her ticket, and he failed to deliver even as Kwankwaso, his vice, got all his people what they want.
Imagine the VP on a ticket having more leverage than the presidential candidate!
Obi is a failure, everybody knows. What is clear is that he is on a journey to nowhere! Come January 16 we will throw him and his mob into the dustbin of history. NDC will kick Obi and his mob out, and all those left around him will subsequently find their way.
LOYALTY IS NOT STUPIDITY. BUT IN OBI'S CAMP, LOYALTY HAS BECOME FOOLISHNESS.
Let us stop lying to ourselves.
If this is how we are preparing for an election less than three months away, then we are a joke. We are not ready to take back what is rightfully ours. We are ready to lose again, beautifully, with fine English and motivational quotes.
We are devouring our own builders, then wondering why the house is collapsing.
1. AISHA YESUFU — THE WOMAN WHO CARRIED US ON HER HEAD
@AishaYesufu declared for FCT Senate. The party cancelled the primary. No contest. No fairness. The ticket was handed to someone else as if she were nobody.
Wike mocked her on national television. Dickson spoke down to her. The campaign council list came out, and her name was missing. She STILL stayed.
A man would have left.
I would have considered stepping back. No one is a fool. You cannot give your all and not be compensated at the very least. Not necessarily with money, but with respect, with a fair process, with protection.
Aisha stayed not because Obi's system works. She stayed because Aisha is Aisha. She is the exception. Do not use her to cover up shame.
2. MORRIS MONYE — THE MAN WHO USED HIS OWN MONEY TO BUILD THE MOVEMENT
@Morris_Monye was Director of Mobilisation.
He said it with his own mouth: He spent N40 MILLION of his personal funds. There was no bank account for his directorate. Not a single naira came from leadership. Peter Obi never once asked, "Morris, how is mobilisation going?" Nothing. Zero communication.
His businesses were attacked because of Obi. He resigned in frustration, then returned to APOLOGISE for being hurt. Apologise for spending his own money!
Then he pursued what he wanted from day one — ANIOCHA NORTH, DELTA STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. Not House of Reps. Not Senate. State House of Assembly.
He says he WON the primary. Then APC defectors who had just entered NDC in Delta arrived. Suddenly the story changed: "You lost the primary." He alleges the returning officer wrote a result to favour another person.
He ran to @PeterObi late at night. Obi gave him "fatherly counsel." The NDC spokesperson @TheoAbuAgada then said national leadership had no hand in it, that it was state leaders — Utomi, Ochei — who decided.
So Morris dropped the case. Out of respect for the Principal. Out of respect for the journey.
He dropped it. Again.
He swallowed it. Again.
Is this how loyalty is rewarded in Obi's camp? You spend your money, you lose your ticket, and you go and apologise.
3. DR. YUNUSA TANKO — THE MAN WHO WATCHED ALL OF THIS HAPPEN
@YunusaTanko was in the room when Morris was counselled to keep quiet. Tanko was Obi's spokesman in 2023. National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement.
Tanko followed Obi from LP to ADC to NDC.
Tanko was the voice,
the face, the shield.
October 1: He was demoted from Coordinator to Adviser.
October 25: The NDC unveiled its National Campaign Council. Ibrahim Abdulkarim, @ziter001, was named Director-General. Obi was Co-Chairman of that council. Obi and Kwankwaso had been given the power to nominate its leaders.
And then came the announcement praising the new DG: loyalty, consistency, sacrifice, stood firm. The exact qualities Tanko had given for three years, now credited to another man. Then came the final insult in that same announcement: "We are not here merely to make noise. We are here to organise." Translation: Tanko's era of noise is over. We need builders now. Builders like Ziter.
Ziter updated his bio:
DG NDC National Campaign Council.
Tanko was then made to repost it. Twice.
And call him "Boss."
"Congratulations once again, Boss. The assignment has begun, and we are ready."
BOSS. The former Coordinator calling his replacement Boss.
That was the stroke that broke the camel's back.
Five days later, Tanko resigned. Eleven days later, SDP unveiled him as National Coordinator for Adebayo. They gave him the title Obi refused to give him & you want to call him a traitor?
