Wike Is 001 Of Tinubu’s Political Family In Rivers – Magnus Abe Declares.

In a personal statement released on Tuesday, Abe likened Tinubu’s leadership to that of a father whose influence may not always be visible but is deeply felt by those who believe in him. He recalled a past radio encounter in Port Harcourt where a caller once questioned his unwavering support for Tinubu despite not receiving any personal benefit, stressing that his loyalty was never driven by expectations of reward.
Abe explained that his confidence in Tinubu stemmed from a strong conviction that the President would govern differently from his predecessors and place Nigeria on a better path. He noted that recent policy outcomes and economic indicators are beginning to reflect that vision, reinforcing his belief that the country is moving in the right direction.
According to him, his appointment to head the NUPRC is not merely a personal milestone but further evidence of the President’s commitment to rewarding loyalty and promoting competence. He said the decision reaffirmed why many supporters have stood by Tinubu over the years and why more Nigerians are now aligning with his leadership.
The former lawmaker dismissed claims that Nigeria is sliding into a one-party system, arguing instead that the growing support for Tinubu is rooted in trust and confidence in his leadership. He described the President as a leader who values genuine loyalty and consistently elevates capable individuals, declaring his continued allegiance to Tinubu.
Abe also paid glowing tribute to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, whom he described as the “001 of the Tinubu political family in Rivers State.” He credited Wike with playing a decisive role in securing Rivers State for Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress during what he described as one of the most challenging elections in the country’s history.
He further praised Wike for reshaping the political structure in Rivers into what he called a unique and inclusive coalition, known as the Renewed Hope Family, which he said continues to drive political success in the state. Abe expressed gratitude for life and good health, attributing his ability to serve to divine grace, and urged Nigerians to remain resilient, support ongoing reforms, fulfill civic duties such as tax payments, and stay hopeful about the nation’s future.
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.
