Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, has tackled Nasir El-Rufai, former governor of Kaduna, over his comment against the administration of President Bola Tinubu.
 Onanuga said the former Kaduna governor is always trying to elevate himself, giving the impression of having more “height” than he actually does. 
 Nasir’s penchant for reputation savaging is almost pathological. Why does he do it? Very early in my interaction with him, I appreciated his talent,” Onanuga posted excerpt from Obasanjo’s book.
 
At the same time, I recognised his weaknesses; the worst being his inability to be loyal to anybody or any issue consistently for long, but only to Nasir El-Rufai.

He lied brazenly, which he did to me, against his colleagues and so-called friends. I have heard of how he ruthlessly savaged the reputation of his uncle, a man who, in an African setting, was like a foster father to him.  
All these was because Speaking in an interview with Arise Television programme, El-Rufai said Tinubu would require a miracle to secure re-election in 2027.

Egbema Kingdom Underdevelopment Rooted in Deprivation, Marginalization, and Ethnic Bias, ___ Egbema Agog,

By
Egbema Kingdom Underdevelopment Rooted in Deprivation, Marginalization, and Ethnic Bias By EgbemaVoice, The Niger Delta youth leader, Comrade Mingo Meshach Sayami Ogumaka, has expressed deep concern over the prolonged marginalization of Egbema Kingdom in Warri North Local Government Area, Delta State. He criticized the Delta State Government for decades of neglect, leaving Egbema Kingdom lagging in development and infrastructure. Comrade Mingo lamented that the current administration, led by Governor Sheriff Francis Oborevwori, has perpetuated this trend. Despite touring other oil-producing kingdoms across the state, the governor has not visited Egbema Kingdom to witness firsthand the challenges faced by its people. "Projects are awarded, commissioned, and appointments are made, yet none benefit Egbema Kingdom. Our people are suffering in silence," Mingo stated. Egbema Kingdom, one of the most populous riverine communities in Delta State and a major oi...

Edo-Delta Egbema Political Space: Leadership Disputes Hindering Development, Youths Urged to Learn from the Past,

By
Egbema Kingdom Political Space: Leadership Misunderstanding Contributes to Underdevelopment in Edo and Delta States By Egbemavoice, Niger Delta youth leader, Comrade Mingo Meshach Sayami Ogumaka, has exposed the root causes behind the underdevelopment of Egbema Kingdom, which straddles Edo and Delta states. He pointed to persistent leadership misunderstandings and the lingering effects of colonial-era divide-and-rule tactics. Comrade Mingo described Egbema as the most populous and one of the oldest Ijaw kingdoms in southern Nigeria—yet it has suffered decades of underdevelopment, neglect, deprivation, marginalization, and oppression by both the Edo and Delta state governments. He traced this back to tribal sentiments and biases harbored by successive state administrations. Egbema Kingdom’s plight began during the days of Bendel State, before its division into Edo and Delta states. The kingdom spans both states but is united under one traditional throne, with its headquarter...

Egbema Youths Council: Cautions Isoko's Youth Group (ISOPLOT,)

By
....... Demands Immediate Implementation of Supreme Court-Ordered Delineation, By EgbemaVoice, The Egbema Youth Council (EYC) Worldwide, the Apex Youth Body in the Egbema Kingdom, strongly condemns the publication by a group known as the Isoko Political Youth Leaders of Thought (ISOPLOT), which called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to suspend or cancel the already concluded delineation exercise in the Warri Federal Constituency. In a statement signed by Barr. Amatelemowei A. Sode, President General of (EYC) Worldwide, the Council described the call as misleading, divisive, and politically motivated, designed solely to stall a legitimate, court-ordered process. The Supreme Court of Nigeria clearly mandated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct a fresh delineation of wards and polling units, a directive INEC is now faithfully executing. EYC therefore commends INEC for upholding its constitutional responsibility and urges it to resist pressure from el...

Speaking during a media chat in Asaba on Tuesday, the Ovie of Idjerhe Kingdom urged the Federal Government and security agencies to launch an immediate investigation into those behind the protest, which he claims is aimed at sabotaging national oil and gas infrastructure for selfish gain.

He argued that those protesting the company’s operations are effectively exposing their involvement in crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism. “Their activity is nothing short of criminals openly identifying their intentions ...
