Twitter (Social Media) is a trove of information. A complete repository of knowledge. One can build industries on info gotten from here.

I am not getting into senseless arguments when people are making money.

So help me God.

In my lifetime, I have never seen a Presidential candidate that has no answer for “How”. That avoids solution driven campaign. Oh chim!

@ruffydfire You see how soft you were without any interjections? Spot your preferential treatment? See how you did not “Put it to him”?

Peter Obi: In four years, we will generate, transmit, and distribute at least 10,000 megawatts of electricity.

Rufai: How are you going to do it?

Peter Obi: I’m not going to tell you how I’m going to do it, it is not for you to know how. It’s for you to look at a man who is saying this.

REP. O. K. CHINDA - A PEOPLE-ORIENTED SERVANT LEADER!

On June 5, 2021, the Federal Government of Nigeria suspended the operations of Twitter (now X) across the country. The decision had serious economic implications, affecting businesses, entrepreneurs, and millions of Nigerians who relied on the platform for communication and commerce.

During that period, Rep. O. K. Chinda was among the few prominent government officials who openly identified with the concerns of ordinary Nigerians. He criticized the suspension, highlighted its adverse effects on citizens and the economy, and called for its immediate reversal.

His stance reflected his commitment to defending the interests of the people and speaking out on issues that affect their welfare. Through actions such as these, Rep. O. K. Chinda has continued to demonstrate the qualities of a responsive, people-oriented, and servant leader dedicated to the well being and progress of society.

Rep. O. K. Chinda, the man of the people and for the people!

"All for one and one for all"

I have met a lot of people that voted Peter Obi the last time and will be voting PBAT next year.

I have also met a lot of people that voted Peter Obi last time but will sit out this election because Peter Obi hasn’t been as inspiring as he was in 2023 and they do not consider the alternatives as better.

I haven’t met a single PBAT supporter that is now supporting Peter Obi or any other candidate( this is my reality)

I believe this administration hasn’t lived up to certain hype but I cannot deny that it’s been reform minded. Helping correct structural issues that have plagued this country far too long.
For example, the recent passage of the state policing bill is by no means a mean feat. That this administration makes it look easy or don’t blow their trumpet so loudly does not diminish the huge significance of the bill and the tireless work that they put into it.

The implementation of the Nigeria Payments System Vision 2028 ( championed by CBN) is another policy that has gone under the radar(I believe we should all read about the policy) . This is one policy that will revolutionize our financial system for good. One that will birth several financial innovation and products. There is no eradication of poverty without financial inclusion and it appears CBN is on an articulated agenda towards a sustainable path.

For some of us, there are enough reasons to stick around this current administration. The alternatives aren’t as inspiring and simply do not have what it takes to out perform this current administration.

Key safeguard against federal overreach (Section 214(6)):

The Federal Police shall not interfere with State Police operations or a State’s internal security affairs except in these limited cases:

• To contain serious threats where there is a complete breakdown of law and order and the State Police is unable to respond.

• When the Governor requests intervention.

• When a State Police is unable to function due to administrative, financial, or other problems.

Any such intervention requires prior approval by the National Police Council.

4. Removal of Top Officers (New Section 216)

• IGP: Removed only by the President on the recommendation of the National Police Council for specified grounds (grave misconduct, breach of Police Act/Regulations/Code of Conduct, conviction for fraud/dishonesty, bankruptcy, or mental incapacity). Requires two-thirds majority approval of the National Assembly.

• State Commissioner of Police: Removed only by the Governor on the recommendation of the National Police Council for similar grounds. Requires two-thirds majority approval of the State House of Assembly.

5. Funding Support (New Section 216A)

7. Legislative Framework (Second Schedule – Concurrent Legislative List)

• National Assembly may make laws on: establishment/organisation/administration/powers/duties of Federal Police; powers/duties of State Police; national minimum standards for both; policing standards, inspection, certification, complaints mechanisms, criminal information systems, inter-governmental cooperation, federal intervention, use of force, firearms, grants, and accountability.

• State Houses of Assembly may make laws for the establishment, organisation, administration, funding, and oversight of their State Police — but must comply with the Constitution and valid National Assembly Acts.

• States may set higher standards than national minimums but not lower.
• National Assembly laws cannot give federal authorities routine command, deployment, appointment, promotion, transfer, discipline, or control over State Police personnel (except for explicitly authorised federal intervention).

8. Other Related Changes
• Updates to various constitutional provisions (e.g., Sections 34, 35, 39, 42, 84, 89, 129, 153) to replace references to “Nigeria Police Force” with appropriate “Police”, “Federal Police”, or “State Police” terminology.

• Exclusive Legislative List adjustments (e.g., light arms for policing purposes; fingerprints/biometrics/forensics shared with State Police; Federal Police listed separately).

• Consequential amendments to the Third Schedule for the new bodies and their compositions/powers.

“ENTERTAINMENT SPEAKS EVERY LANGUAGE.”

Rep. O. K. Chinda once demonstrated his appreciation for the creative sector while speaking in support of a bill on the floor of the House of Representatives, where he highlighted the critical role of the entertainment industry in nation building and economic development.

In his contribution, he emphasized the importance of entertainment as a tool for job creation, youth engagement, cultural promotion, and revenue generation. His position reflected a clear understanding of the immense potential of the industry to positively impact society and contribute meaningfully to national growth.

This recognition of the value of entertainment underscores his commitment to supporting all sectors that can drive development and create opportunities for the people. It also signals a promising future for the entertainment industry in Rivers State, as stakeholders can expect greater attention and support under a leadership that understands its importance.

With his broad experience in governance and his appreciation for the contributions of the creative industry, Rep. O. K. Chinda continues to demonstrate a vision of inclusive development that embraces every sector capable of advancing the welfare and prosperity of the people.

OK Is Okay!
