The attached picture is a little eye opener to you. He is Obidient, and only cares about the Obidient movement. In due time, you all will understand.” Advertisements “As for Abure and the police arrest, PO never wanted to get himself involved. He knows Abure’s records and his doings, and has since distanced himself from Abure.” “But the pressure was too much from Senators and House of Reps members under the labour party, calling for him to intervene. For those who may not understand, check the time Abure was arrested, and the time it took PO to issue a statement. It was because the police blatantly refused Abure bail on self recognition, and told everyone at the station that the case will be transferred to Abuja today. They had to pressure PO to issue a statement. Even in the statement PO issued, he never exonerated Abure of wrong doings, neither did he dismiss the accusations against Abure as frivolous or unfounded. PO was only angry at the way and manner Abure was humiliated during his arrest. He was against the overzealous attitude of the Police, despite knowing Abure’s status as the national chairman of an opposition Party.” “As for the police, when they came to the hotel in Benin to arrest Abure, they claimed it’s over fraud, forgery and other financial crimes.” Advertisements “But on getting to the station, they changed the reason of his arrest to attempted murder, and possession of firearms. I don’t know their reason for doing so, but what i know, the IGP has invited Abure countless times, over several petitions against him, but he has been evading the invitation. The police tried to arrest him few months ago, but he kept running and using DSS details to cover himself.” “Senators and House of Reps members under labour party were told openly yesterday at the station that Abure’s case is from Abuja, and the IGP is interested. That he will not be granted bail, but will be transferred to Abuja today. But as soon as PO issued his statement, the police back tracked, agreed, and granted Abure bail in the early hours of today, on self recognition, but asked him to make himself available this morning in court. They released him because of the upcoming labour party’s primaries.” “Abure’s enemies only took advantage of his current corruption case with labour party to strike, knowing fully well that his support base has weaken, and he has lost his goodwill in the side of Obidients.” Advertisements In Summary. Is Abure corrupt? Yes Is Abure a thief? Yes. His he the one killing LP? Yes Did he misappropriate funds? Yes Did he betray LP candidates? Yes Did he sell LP tickets to opposition? Yes Did he forge documents? Yes I @PIDOMNIGERIA, i will not speak without evidence. I will never blackmail anyone for money, or with information at my disposal. I will never promote propaganda. My post or whatever i say may not happen immediately, but with time, everything will come to pass. As for my investigation into Abure’s corruption case, and the labour party’s wahala, nobody gave me a kobo to do so. I did it on my own with my personal funds. I have my ears and eyes on ground. I have people on the field. I am neutral and i do my job without biase or favoritism. Even if PO misfires tomorrow, i will be the one to call him out. Fucck Abure and his Exco. Fuck Apapa and his faction. I am Obidient. My loyalty is to Nigeria, and my support is for Peter Obi alone.

France are not the only ones going for back-to-back triumphs on Sunday - if Les Bleus beat Argentina, BBC football expert Chris Sutton will have successfully picked the winner of two successive World Cups.
"I've had another good tournament," Sutton said. "And I'm pleased to say I've beaten the challenge of Kent the gibbon in Zagreb Zoo. He went very quiet once Croatia lost in the semi-finals."
Sutton is predicting the outcome of every game in Qatar, and became a TV star in Japan when he correctly called the Blue Samurai's shock win over Germany in the group stage - sharing his celebrity status with a Tokyo otter called Taiyo, who also got that one right.
Sutton was correct again when he backed Argentina to get through their semi-final, and was also spot on when he said France would join them in the final.
He picked the winner in two of the four quarter-finals - getting the exact score in Morocco's win over Portugal and France's victory against England - and from five of the eight last-16 ties.
He has an overall success rate of 56% for the tournament, after he chose the right outcome in 26 of the 48 group games.
Before the World Cup started, Sutton chose 12 of the 16 teams that progressed to the first knockout stage, including England, who he correctly said would go as far as the last eight.
| Who did our pundits predict would win the 2022 World Cup? | |
|---|---|
| Brazil (7): | Micah Richards, Alex Scott, Ashley Williams, Gabby Logan, Jurgen Klinsmann, Rio Ferdinand, Karen Bardsley, Matthew Upson, Rob Green |
| Argentina (3): | Alan Shearer, Jermaine Jenas, Danny Murphy |
| France (2): | Chris Sutton, Danny Gabbidon |
| England (1): | Fara Williams |
| Games | Score | Sutton's prediction |
|---|---|---|
| THIRD-PLACE PLAY-OFF | ||
| Saturday, 17 Dec | ||
| Croatia v Morocco | x-x | 1-2 |
| WORLD CUP FINAL | ||
| Sunday, 18 Dec | ||
| Argentina v France | x-x | 1-3 |
I was gutted for Morocco, who were running out of defenders with the injuries they picked up before and during their semi-final defeat by France.
I also wonder about all the emotion they have used up during their incredible run to the last four, and whether they might all feel a bit flat now their dream is over.
Morocco will still be desperate to win this game and finish third, though, while I'm not sure what Croatia's selection or mindset will be like.
They drew 0-0 when they met in the group stage but this time, if both teams are as strong as they can be and go all out for victory, I would back Croatia.
I don't think that will happen though, so let's give the Morocco fairytale a winning finish.
Sutton's prediction: 1-2
France are quite a baffling side in that I watch them with high expectations but am always left a bit bored, and thinking there must be more to come.
The holders are efficient, rather than exciting, and at the moment they remind me of a Citroen cruising along an old autoroute. They've got a couple of gears left to find, but they might well get all the way to their destination without using them.
We'd all love England to be effective like that, of course, and for us to be winning World Cups by finding a way and without a lot of fuss.
I think the French public would prefer them to play like Manchester City or Spain - well, maybe Spain in terms of possession but also taking some shots at goal - and dominate games, winning with flair and doing it in style.
But their manager Didier Deschamps is pragmatic and is not bothered what people think. They were labelled bland four years ago too, but they ended up world champions.
Instead of trying to keep the ball, France don't seem to want it at at all. Morocco had 23% of possession in their win over Spain, but managed 61% against the French.
France don't play free-flowing football, instead they carry the ball forward quickly and pick their moments - and, with someone like Kylian Mbappe in the team, they can be devastating in those moments.
Mbappe has only performed in fits and starts but that has been enough. Olivier Giroud has been a revelation and Antoine Griezmann has linked everything up.
It has worked so far, so they are hardly going to change now, are they?
Argentina are the same in that they don't care about having the ball, but are a team powered by emotion rather than efficiency - and Messi's tournament has also been about moments, just like Mbappe's has been for France.
After losing their first game of the tournament against Saudi Arabia, they have been under pressure ever since.
They have handled that well, and also the expectations of their supporters - that has proved too much for them in the past but, here, their fans have lifted the team with their outstanding backing and they will outnumber France in the final too.
From watching them so far, I think they will try to stay in the game early on and then wait for the spaces to open up for Messi, which is when he has become prominent. Julian Alvarez has been superb and will be a threat with his runs behind the defence but, overall, France still have more firepower.
I have got a soft spot for Argentina, and not just because of Messi, but with regards to my prediction, I am going to say France will win because I have backed them since before this World Cup started.
In terms of how they will win it, I would love to say this will be a final for the purist where there is beautiful football from both sides, but I suspect it will actually be a stop-start game, decided by moments of individual brilliance.
A lot could depend on Polish referee Szymon Marciniak and how card happy he is, though.
I've watched Argentina a lot and thought a sterner ref could have punished them with more cards in some of their games because their players seem to be on the edge a lot of the time.
So, I would not be surprised if we see a couple of red cards, especially if Argentina fall behind. I love watching them because of how passionate they are, but they will fight and scrap to win at any cost.
I was there in Kazan when they gave Mbappe some rough treatment as France beat them in the last 16 in 2018, and there will be more of that this time, I am sure.
Argentina's players are fighting for their jersey, fighting for their fans and fighting for Messi, to send him out on a high. They will have to control themselves and harness their aggression, and I am not convinced they will.
We could see some dark arts from both sides because France are not afraid of a physical battle and, if Argentina do lose, they won't go quietly.
