This man @PeterObi appears to believe that the rules do not apply to him, which is why he allegedly chose to disregard established airport regulations and procedures.
The moment airport authorities moved to enforce those rules and maintain order, he immediately resorted to the familiar victimhood narrative, attempting to portray lawful enforcement as political persecution.
That is both disingenuous and irresponsible.
You cannot knowingly violate laid-down regulations, disregard due process and then turn around to accuse the government of targeting you simply because you were held accountable for your actions. Compliance with the law is not optional and public figures should be setting examples not acting as though they are exempt from the rules that govern everyone else.
No individual, regardless of status, political affiliation or public profile, is above the law. Rules exist for a reason and they must apply equally to every citizen without exception. Accountability is not persecution.

I just read the statement issued by Bayo Onanuga on behalf of the Presidency, which supposedly trying to put a defence for the Chief of staff, Gbajabiamila.
However, I think the Presidency's statement was clearly intended to shut down public scrutiny. Ironically, it has achieved the exact opposite. It answered some questions, but in doing so, it exposed even bigger ones.
Let us assume, for a moment, that every allegation against Prince Adeyemi is true. Even then, the statement leaves glaring gaps that no amount of rhetoric can paper over.
You are asking Nigerians to believe that one private citizen woke up one morning, invented a presidential agency, forged his own appointment, secured office space inside the Federal Secretariat, recruited staff, held meetings with diplomats, corresponded with government institutions, allegedly opened a CBN account through official channels, and if the official budget documents are anything to go by, the same "non-existent" agency found its way into the Appropriation Act with an allocation running into billions.
If that is truly what happened, then this is no longer just the story of an alleged fraudster. It is also the story of spectacular institutional failure. Either government systems were astonishingly easy to deceive, or there are questions that still have not been answered.
The statement conveniently glosses over the budget issue. That silence is deafening.
How does a fictitious agency appear in the national budget? Budget allocations do not descend from heaven. They pass through ministries, the Budget Office, executive review and legislative approval. Who introduced the line item? Who processed it? Who signed off on it? Who failed to ask whether the agency even existed?
Those are not political questions. They are governance questions.
Then there is the issue of the Federal Secretariat office. Offices inside government complexes are not roadside kiosks. How was the space obtained? Under whose authority? How long did it operate? Who interacted with the occupants? Who looked the other way?
Again, silence.
Then comes the most curious part of the story.
The Presidency says the very person allegedly identified as the link between Adeyemi and the purported appointment, Dolapo Babatunde Tanimola, had died in a hotel fire just five days before Adeyemi's arrest.
That is an extraordinary detail. Yet we are given almost nothing beyond it.
Was there an autopsy? Was there a coroner's inquest? What did investigators conclude about the fire? Were his electronic devices, communications and financial records examined? If he was central enough to be named in the statement, why is the public expected not to ask what became of the investigation into his death?
These are not conspiracy theories. They are the obvious questions any serious investigator would ask.
The Presidency wants Nigerians to focus exclusively on whether Adeyemi is an impostor. Fair enough. The courts will determine that.
But the Presidency cannot ask the public to ignore the conduct of government institutions in the same breath.
This is bigger than one man.
If the council was fake, explain how it entered the budget.
If the appointment was forged, explain how government systems repeatedly interacted with the supposed beneficiary.
If official channels were deceived, explain where the safeguards failed.
If there was no insider involvement, show the documentary trail that proves it.
Accountability does not begin and end with charging one individual. It also requires explaining how the machinery of government appeared to validate, accommodate or fail to detect what is now described as a complete fabrication.
The public deserves more than a carefully written press statement. It deserves answers backed by records, timelines and evidence.
Until those answers are provided, this matter is far from settled.

NDC members protest against NDC 🤣
Just take a look at a party that wants to save Nigeria. They can’t conduct free, fair and credible party primaries.
NDC is currently stealing tickets from winners and selling them to the biggest bags.
Two major surprises I got from the ongoing war against terrorism being jointly carried out by Nigeria and the US are one, the decimation of lakurawas in Sokoto. I never imagined that a huge terror organisation like that is receiving sanctuary in Sokoto. Two, the neutralisation of ISIS Number 2 man in Borno. I know that bokoharam is borno, but to ever imagine that number 2 most wanted terrorist on earth is also there remains a huge surprise to me. Whoever that is making Sokoto comfortable for Lukarawas and Borno habitable for ISIS will not know peace on earth, their departure from earth will not be painless, and their eternity shall be in agony!
SAY NO TO TERRORISM
Rufai Oseni has used his brain for once in asking the simple and straightforward question.
Peter Obi, how do you intend to fund 10,000 MW of Power in 4 years.
A man that built nothing as Governor for 8 years ooooo!
Husband: Have you prayed Asr?
Wife: No
Husband: Why?
Wife: I got back from work tired a bit so I took me a nap.
Husband: Ok... Go pray Asr and Maghrib before its time for Isha.
The next day... the husband leaves town on a business trip... But a few hours after his flight was scheduled to arrive he didn't call or even text her like he usually does to let her know that he had arrived safely..!!
The wife calls to check up on her husband but he doesn't pick up.. She calls again; the phone rings but no reply what so ever.
She was starting to get worried after many attempts of calling her beloved husband and no reply at all... She thinks to herself something must have went wrong he never does that. He always calls as soon as he lands.
A few hours pass by... and suddenly the phone rings and its the husband. Wife all worried says: have you arrived safely??
Husband: Yes, Alhamdulillah.
Wife: When?
Husband: About 4 hours ago.
Wife in an angered tone: 4 hours ago? And you don't call?
Husband: I was tired so decided to take a nap.
Wife: A few minutes wouldn't have hurt you if you were to call me and let me know you'v arrived... Plus haven't you heard the phone ringing over and over again as I was calling you..??
Husband: Yes, I heard it..
Wife: And you don't pick up..?? What are my calls not important enough for you..??
Husband: You're calls are important to me, but yesterday you didn't seem to mind not answering the calls of Athan.. Allah's call...
Wife with watery eyes and after a short silence says: Yes, you have a point.. I'm sorry..
Husband: Why are you apologizing to me? You should seek Allah's forgiveness and don't repeat the same mistake twice. All what I want out of this world is that Allah unites us both in a palace in Jannah where in it we can start our eternal life together. Ever since that day the wife never delayed any of her prayers.

A man shares how relocating his wife to the UK turned out far tougher than expected. He advises men to truly understand their partner before making such moves, admitting he ignored his parents’ counsel.
For many couples, the UK ends up being a real test.
