Hypocritical acts – Labour party blasts Wike for backing Tinubu

"We are hearing that our Governor...suddenly decided to form an alliance with Muslim – Muslim ticket..."

The Labour Party, LP, in Rivers State has criticized Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers state for allegedly supporting the Presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Tinubu.

During a briefing with journalists in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, the National Vice Chairman, South South of the Labour Party, Favour Reuben, accused Wike of acting out of self-interest.

What Labour Party's chieftain said: Reuben argued that Wike's previous descriptions of the APC as cancer and the PDP as malaria meant that he should have sought a cure for these "deadly diseases" in the form of Peter Obi instead.

In his words: “We are hearing that our Governor (Wike, who few years back declared our state as a Christian State because he was running for election, has made a U-turn overnight and suddenly decided to form an alliance with Muslim – Muslim ticket because of his personal interest.

“The Wike we all know is not a coward that will surreptitiously ask his PDP followers to work for Tinubu of the APC without coming out openly, but if this is true, then we are in trouble and our PVCs should speak for us, being the only tool at our disposal to usher in a Government that will ameliorate our suffering, both at the State and Federal level.

“Secondly, our Governor (Wike) said APC is cancer, while PDP is malaria, so I will be expecting the Governor to look for the cure of these deadly diseases and the only cure is the Labour Party driven by Peter Gregory Obi, who has been tested and trusted in Governance.”

Questioning Wike's values: Ruben finally noted that Governor Wike’s support for a man, whose region in the South has produced a president and currently the Vice President of the country, questions his principle of equity, fairness and justice.

NYSC Mobilisation & Academic Standards – Raising quality or adding pressure on students?

On September 29, 2025, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu approved a reform linking the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) mobilisation process to the National Policy for the Nigeria Education Repository and Databank (NERD). By invoking Sections 2(4)(4) and 16(1)(C) of the NYSC Act, Tinubu stated that no graduate, whether from a Nigerian or foreign institution, will be mobilised for or exempted from NYSC without proof of compliance with the NERD policy. In a common man's understanding, the Federal Government has announced that Nigerian students must now submit their final-year projects or thesis before they can be mobilised for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). This policy aims to improve academic standards, ensuring that no student skips essential academic requirements before entering the NYSC scheme . On the surface, this sounds like a laudable idea, but a deeper look reveals a different reality. In many universities, students are allowed to graduate and mobilised for NYSC  ...
