But the truth remains: the fire burning down your neighbour’s house will eventually extend to your own if you do nothing to stop it. This is not a curse; this is reality. The impunity you give these bastards with your silence will grow to be an impunity that you ultimately dread.

The governor of Ebonyi State challenged Nyesom Wike; immediately the APC chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, changed face.
The governor said that he has all it takes to consume Wike and that Wike should be called to order.
Tinubu didn't call Wike to order in Rivers; I pray he doesn't call him to order in other too.
Tinubu is an antiparty agent.

Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.

President Tinubu will have to choose between former IGP Adamu and the governor’s preferred candidate, Aliyu Wadada.
Both have been loyal party members who stood through thick and thin on the mandate ensured Asiwaju’s 2023 victory. I personally think Governor Abdullahi Sule supports Wadada because he is the only one that gives him “Yahaya Bello and Ododo” vibes.
What then, should be the fate of Nasarawa State’s most preferred candidate, former IGP Adamu?
My father never sat at the head of the table.
Always the side.
I asked him about it once when I was twelve.
His answer is the reason I always put food on the table for my family:
