  “If not for the intervention of Mr. President, Nigeria would have faced the worst economic sabotage, and Rivers State would have been up in flames. I thank the President for a swift intervention in Rivers State crisis, especially on the state of emergency that was declared and assented to by the National Assembly.” PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | APRIL 13, ...

  “In interpreting the Constitution and Laws derivable from the GRUNDNORM, what’s not expressly provided is subject to discretional authority, which President Tinubu exercised in the suspension of Governor Siminalayi Fubara, Deputy Governor Ngozi Odu, and Members of the Rivers Assembly for six months” PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | MARCH 24, 2025 Whether they expected it or not, members of an ...

  “So, will Okpebholo advance his defence today by limiting the number of witnesses to be called, and reducing the allotted number of days thereof; relitigate the pre-hearing call for the tribunal to dismiss the Plaintiffs’ petition; or align with INEC’s counsel, Agabi’s claim, and aver that his (Okpebholo’s counsel, Ikpeazu) “did justice to the case during the cross-examination of ...

  “If he does, then he’s good to go for the position! But should Seyi run for Governor, as his father seeks re-election for President in 2027? Besides such being novel in our clime, Seyi’s ambition can jeopardize Tinubu’s chances at the poll.
