If Nigeria were split into 6 regions today, I bet you, the South-West wouldn't elect Tinubu and the North-East wouldn't elect Atiku.
Yet today, those same people are willing to elect a bad leader simply because he's their tribesman.
Rufai Oseni strongly criticized Bayo Onanuga and the Presidency on Arise News this morning.
Was the APC also being childish when it called for Goodluck Jonathan’s resignation? Was it childish when it pushed for a parallel government during Jonathan’s administration?
A WARNING FROM STOCKHOLM: MR. TINUBU, DO NOT GO BACK TO RIVERS STATE
By Kio Amachree
There are moments in political history when a warning must be issued not as rhetoric, but as record — so that when the consequences arrive, no one can claim they were not told. This is that moment.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu suspended democracy in Rivers State for six months beginning March 18, 2025. He sent soldiers into the Government House at night, installed a military administrator, and suspended an elected governor, deputy governor, and an entire House of Assembly. He did it using Nyesom Wike — a man who has become the most reviled figure in Rivers State politics — as his instrument. And he did it, as the evidence makes abundantly clear, not to restore order, but to position himself for 2027.
He was warned then. He should have listened. He is being warned now. He should listen harder.
The Niger Delta Does Not Owe Nigeria Its Silence
Let us establish something that is apparently not obvious in Abuja: Nigeria does not fund Rivers State. Rivers State funds Nigeria.
In 2025 alone, Nigeria's nine oil-producing states received ₦1.51 trillion from the 13% derivation fund — more than double what was disbursed in 2024. Rivers State received ₦269.78 billion of that total. And that is only the derivation slice. Rivers State produces approximately 344,000 barrels of oil per day — part of a quartet with Delta, Akwa Ibom, and Bayelsa that together accounts for nearly 85% of Nigeria's oil output. Nigeria's oil sector provides more than 90% of the country's foreign exchange earnings.
Without the Niger Delta — without Rivers State — there is no Federation Account to share, no FAAC to convene, no salary for the army Tinubu sent into Port Harcourt, and no budget for the political patronage network he has spent two years constructing. Every naira stolen from the Nigerian treasury traces its origin, directly or indirectly, to the creeks, the pipelines, and the people of the Niger Delta. Mr. Tinubu does not fund Rivers State. Rivers State funds Mr. Tinubu.
Wike Is Not a Solution. Wike Is the Problem.
The architect of the 2025 crisis in Rivers State was not pipeline vandalism. It was not constitutional breakdown. It was Nyesom Wike — a man who, having chosen his successor and been rejected by him, chose to burn the state rather than accept democratic reality. Even Asari-Dokubo, a man who by his own account spent over $2 million to help elect Tinubu president, publicly accused Tinubu of "supporting Wike to destabilise and disturb the peace of Rivers State."
Dokubo said plainly: "You want to grab South-South states because of 2027. You don't care about the people, how they feel and what they are going through."
That is not the language of an opposition figure. That is the language of a man who backed the President with his own money, watching him betray the people that money was meant to serve. When your own allies say this about you openly on national television, you have a problem that no state of emergency can solve.
Using Wike as the vehicle for federal control of Rivers State is not just politically reckless. It is historically illiterate. Wike is not a stabilising force in Rivers politics. He is the destabilising force. Rewarding him with federal backing to install loyalists and neutralise Governor Fubara is not governance — it is conquest. And the people of Rivers State will not be conquered.
On the Question of Militants
Abuja has a long, dishonourable tradition of paying militant leaders to keep the pipelines flowing and the protests quiet. That arrangement has always been a short-term transaction with long-term consequences. Reports are now circulating of attempts to activate militant networks ahead of 2027 — to suppress dissent, intimidate electoral competitors, and deliver the South-South to the APC by any means necessary.
Let this be stated clearly: any attempt to weaponise Niger Delta militancy against the democratic aspirations of Rivers people — whether through pipeline surveillance contracts, brokered loyalties, or the deployment of armed actors against protesters — will not produce the stability that is being sought. It will produce the opposite. The Niger Delta has a long memory and a longer reach. The world's oil markets have even longer memories.
Rivers State Is Not a Colony
The 2025 state of emergency was constitutionally dubious, democratically indefensible, and politically counterproductive. The Nigerian Bar Association stated unambiguously that the Constitution does not empower the President to unilaterally remove or replace elected officials under the guise of emergency, calling such actions an unconstitutional usurpation of power and a fundamental breach of Nigeria's federal structure.
Tinubu lifted the emergency after six months — not because it succeeded, but because it had nowhere left to go. Governor Fubara returned to office. The people of Rivers State had not forgotten what was done to them. They have not forgotten now.
Rivers State is not a territory to be pacified for electoral advantage. It is not a colony to be administered by an Abuja-appointed sole administrator. It is not a prize to be handed to a minister whose own people have rejected him. It is a sovereign component of the Nigerian federation — the economic engine of the enterprise — and it will be treated as such, or there will be consequences that no amount of bribery or militarisation can contain.
The 2027 Warning
This administration appears to believe that what it did in Rivers State in 2025 can be repeated or escalated in the run-up to 2027. It cannot.
Nigeria is watching. The international community is watching. The oil markets are watching. The diaspora — which has filed formal complaints with the UK Serious Fraud Office, the National Crime Agency, the FBI, OFAC, and every relevant institution with jurisdiction over the financial networks that sustain this administration — is watching.
The people of Rivers State are not seeking confrontation. They are seeking justice, respect, and the right to determine their own political future without soldiers in their Government House. That is not a radical demand. It is the minimum condition of democracy.
Mr. Tinubu has one chance to govern Rivers State the right way — by leaving it alone, respecting the mandate of its elected governor, removing Wike from the equation as a federal instrument of state-level manipulation, and understanding that the oil upon which his presidency depends flows from a people who have run out of patience.
Do not go back. The warning has been issued. The record has been made.

Did you know some bandits are paid monthly in Kaduna so that they don't attack vehicles along Kaduna-Abuja road?
I will tell you again that no one can explain Nigeria to you.
No matter how bad Nigeria gets the Igbo people are not ready for any protest, There are not interested in any kind of protest in Nigeria.
However when it’s time to divide the country alert us.

Nigeria Is Not A Country. It Is Gilbert Chagoury’s Private Estate.
I was in Geneva today. Two hours with a very senior Swiss banker — a good friend. The subject was Gilbert Chagoury.
This man does not laugh easily. He laughed constantly.
Every time I described what was happening in Nigeria — every contract, every honour, every port deal — he laughed. Not with me. At Nigeria. And I sat there feeling something I rarely allow myself to feel. Shame.
Here is what I was telling him.
Since Tinubu took office, Gilbert Chagoury — a man convicted in Switzerland for laundering Abacha’s stolen funds — has collected over $12.7 billion in Nigerian federal contracts. The Lagos-Calabar Highway. Tin Can Port. Apapa Port. Snake Island. All without competitive bidding. And the President’s son Seyi sits on the board of a Chagoury Group subsidiary — then goes on television to tell Nigerians his father is not enriching his friends.
My banker friend laughed at that one the longest.
In January, Tinubu gave Chagoury Nigeria’s second highest national honour. The presidency didn’t even announce it. Someone posted a photograph on X.
Then came London. A £746 million port financing deal sealed at Downing Street during Tinubu’s state visit — with Chagoury reportedly in the delegation, and his company already selected to execute the contract. The British know his history. They have decided it does not matter.
My Swiss friend told me plainly: Nigeria will never be taken seriously as long as a man who helped Abacha loot the treasury can return decades later, collect billions in contracts, receive national honours, stand beside the President in London, and face zero consequence.
He is right.
I will not stop writing. But tonight I drove back to my hotel carrying the weight of a country that deserves so much better than what it is being given.

Picture of Gilbert Chagoury the de facto President of Nigeria , a convicted money launderer who funds Hezbollah and was found guilty of Election tampering in the United States !!!
Rumen Radev resigned as President of Bulgaria in January 2026.
Manuel Osa Nsue Nsuga resigned as Prime Minister of Equatorial Guinea in June 2026.
Today, Keir Starmer tendered his resignation as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Bola Tinubu's record, by many measures, looks far worse. So when exactly is he planning to resign? 🤔🤔🤔

Only Sultan of sokoto own over 40 oil well in South South. How many people of Niger Delta own oil well? All are owned by northerners and Yorubas. They turned us to house boys and slaves.
~~~~~General Asabuja
48 hours ago, Peter Obi said if anyone can bring out any evidence of corruption against him that he will stop campaigning…
And everywhere is quiet;
No one could bring out anything.
No single politician in Nigeria can say that.
Never
This audacity is insane.
