Giadom stated that no politician, including Governor Siminalayi Fubara, can secure electoral success in Gokana Local Government Area without Wike’s endorsement. He made the assertion while speaking during Wike’s thank-you visit to the people of Gokana, where he described the area as a stronghold firmly loyal to Wike and President Bola Tinubu.
Emphasizing Wike’s influence, Giadom assured that the people of Gokana remain unwavering in their support, describing the community as a no-go area for any other political contender. He stressed that any political ambition within the area must align with Wike’s leadership.
Echoing similar sentiments, former Senator Magnus Abe affirmed that the loyalty of the Ogoni people remains with Wike and President Tinubu, praising Wike’s unifying leadership style. Abe stated that following Wike’s direction guarantees political success and assured that the people of Gokana are firmly committed to Tinubu’s leadership without the need for further campaign visits.
The Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Dumle Maol, and the Chairman of Gokana Local Council, Confidence Deko, also pledged total loyalty to Wike, assuring him of the community’s readiness to follow his political direction when elections approach.
Responding, Wike expressed gratitude for the warm reception, explaining that his visit was to appreciate the people for their longstanding support and unity. He commended the community for standing together in support of President Tinubu and noted that members of both the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and APC in Rivers State are working collectively under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) presidential candidate and former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke, has called on opposition parties to form a united front to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. In an interview with Symfoni TV, Duke cautioned that Tinubu is an exceptional and formidable political opponent who cannot be defeated individually.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Emphasizing that the political framework inherently favors the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) because they control state power and law enforcement apparatuses, Duke warned that division and ego among opposition figures effectively work against their own interests. Using a striking analogy, he described taking on the incumbent as trying to fight a lion that has been given horns using only a knife and fork, concluding that the opposition would end up as “dinner” without a cohesive, unified approach.
The Federal Government has issued an urgent flood warning through the National Flood Early Warning Systems Centre, cautioning that 915 communities spread across 19 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) face severe flooding risks from August 27 to September 9, 2026. In addition to these critical-risk zones, the centre flagged 429 communities in seven states as high-risk and 656 communities across 13 states under a moderate flood-risk watch.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The 19 states categorized under the critical-risk threat are Kogi, Benue, Rivers, Edo, Delta, Cross River, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo, encompassing major cities like Lokoja, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Ibadan, and Onitsha. According to Usman Abdullahi Bokani, Director of the Erosion, Flood and Coastal Zone Management Department, this impending threat is driven by factors such as continuous rainfall, saturated soils, rapid surface runoff, strained drainage networks, and swelling river levels. Residents in these vulnerable areas have been strongly advised to ready themselves for potential emergencies and identify secure evacuation routes.
African Action Congress (AAC) 2027 presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has cautioned citizens against falling for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s stance on reversing the fuel subsidy. Atiku, who is running under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), previously pledged to restore the subsidy if elected, arguing that the current administration’s removal of the policy has brought no advantages to the country.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In response via an X post, Sowore rejected Atiku’s remarks, asserting that the AAC remains the sole political party that has steadfastly opposed the subsidy removal from the outset. He accused Atiku and other establishment politicians of shifting their stances based on political convenience and foreign capitalist interests, stating that they should not be permitted to rewrite history or masquerade as genuine opposition figures. Sowore further claimed that it was the AAC’s unwavering position at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt that actually rattled the Tinubu government, rather than any actions from Atiku’s camp.
