Answer

All points on the object have the same angular speed. Not all points on the object have the same linear speed.

Work Step by Step

Since the entire object is rotating, every single point must be rotating with the same angular speed. However, the linear speed, which is equal to $v=r\omega$, differs, since the radius from the center differs while the angular velocity omega remains the same.
