Dear Mr.
@PeterObi
,

Firstly, I would like to extend my congratulations to you on your participation in the last Presidential elections. The democratic process is an integral part of our nation's growth, and it is commendable that you actively engaged in it.

Now that elections are over and the Supreme Court has upheld the victory of Chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the President of Nigeria, it is now time for accountability.

As a concerned Nigerian deeply committed to transparency and accountability, I write this letter to kindly request that you provide a comprehensive account of the financial aspects of your campaign. Specifically, I am interested in obtaining detailed information regarding the money donated to your campaign and its subsequent expenditure.

I believe that sharing this information will affirm your dedication to good governance and reinforce the principles of accountability, which are vital for the sustenance of our democracy. Moreover, it will serve as a precedent for other political candidates to follow suit and promote a culture of financial transparency in future electoral campaigns.

I kindly request that you provide the following details in your response:

1. A comprehensive breakdown of all monetary donations received during your campaign.
2. A detailed account of the expenditure incurred during the campaign, including but not limited to advertising, logistics, personnel, and administrative costs.

I kindly request that you respond to this letter within a reasonable timeframe, preferably no later than tomorrow.

Thank you and see you in 2027.

NBC issues Final Warning to Arise TV

By Tunde Rahman

Former Vice President and roundly defeated presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, was a pitiful sight to behold on Thursday at the Shehu Yar 'Adua Centre, Abuja as he sat like a wreck after addressing what he called a world press conference. He had gone on a wild goose chase to the United States in search of President Bola Tinubu's certificate.
The former vice president however returned empty-handed after spending a fortune. Atiku himself admitted his exploratory journey was at a hefty cost.

At the press conference, the Waziri Adamawa discovered no new thing; he found nothing incriminating or untoward against the President. He is only currently engaging in political sophistry. Apparently deluding himself that he came back from the US with a smoking gun, at his press briefing, he sermonised on the important issue of leadership and responsibility. Alhaji Atiku assaulted the memory of the late irrepressible lawyer and human rights activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, SAN, claiming Fawehinmi inspired his shameful, worthless and self-seeking expedition.

Commending David Hundeyin, the rabble rouser who styles himself as an independent journalist, whose work he also said inspired him, it became apparent that both Atiku and Hundeyin were actually working together to embarrass President Tinubu.

Overwhelmed by his inordinate ambition, the failed PDP presidential candidate also shamelessly called traditional, religious, community and political leaders in the country including Labour Party's Peter Obi and NNPP's Senator Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso to rally round him in his political vendetta against President Tinubu.“This quest is not for or about Atiku Abubakar. It is a quest for the enthronement of truth, morality and accountability in our public affairs,” he said. And you wonder, what morality Alhaji Atiku was preaching. This is the same man who was indicted in the 2009 conviction of his accomplice, former United States Congressman William Jefferson, over bribery charges. Same man whose principal, former President Obasanjo, wrote a damaging testimonial on and whose years in Customs were signposted by corruption allegations.
If you have not read it, this is what former President Obasanjo said about Wazirin Atiku in Volume 2 Pages 31-32 of his book "My Watch": "What I did not know, which came out glaringly later, was his parental background which was somewhat shadowy, his propensity to corruption, his tendency to disloyalty, his inability to say and stick to the truth all the time,a propensity for poor judgment, his belief and reliance on marabouts , his lack of transparency, his trust in money to buy his way out on all issues and his readiness to sacrifice morality, integrity, propriety truth and national interest for self and selfish interest."

It is pertinent at this juncture to clarify some of the issues that emerged from the deposition by President Tinubu’s former school, Chicago State University, in order to understand Atiku’s deliberate and malicious distortion.
Speaking on oath in the testimonies contained in a deposition made in the Office of Angela Liu, Atiku’s legal counsel, in Chicago, US, CSU Registrar, Caleb Westberg declared that President Bola Tinubu attended and graduated with honours from the institution in 1979. He in fact asserted that President Tinubu is the same person who attended the school from 1977 to 1979. “We believe Bola Tinubu who attended CSU is the same person who is the President of Nigeria today. Tinubu is an unusual name in the US. He matched the records in the file against the information provided by the student or on behalf of the student.”

On the insinuation by Atiku’s lawyers that the Bola Tinubu who attended the school was a female on account of a clerical error spotted against Tinubu’s name, Westberg disclosed that the admission letter issued to the Nigerian President evidently proved he was a male and attended the school between 1977 and 1979.
Probed further to confirm if the Tinubu that enrolled at the school was a male or female, the registrar insisted, “Tinubu applied to the university as a male and a letter of admission was issued to a male.
“There were materials in Mr. Tinubu’s records that show he was a male in the application to CSU. Mr. Tinubu identified himself as a male. His letter of admission identified him as a male. It says: ‘Dear Mr. Tinubu’”, he said.

It is relevant to point out that in the US, premium is not placed on certificates, otherwise called diplomas, as we do here. Certificates are merely ceremonial. The emphasis is on transcripts. Employers and schools offering admissions for higher education will only ask for previous transcripts.
In most cases, the certificates are also printed by third party vendors. Many certificates are left uncollected because what is important is the transcript. The CSU has diplomas that students didn’t pick up in its possession.
“I have the diploma that was made available to Mr. Enahoro-Ebah in our possession because Mr. Tinubu did not pick it up. I do not have the diploma that was submitted to INEC in our possession because he had picked it, ” Westberg clarified while responding to another question.

Other matters also came up during the over five-hour interrogation session that I do not want to bore you with in this piece. However, it is surprising that Atiku and co would claim President Tinubu forged his certificate simply because the CSU Registrar said it could not authenticate the certificate presented to him by Atiku's lawyer as the document Tinubu presented to INEC for the 2023 Presidential Election. He said he cannot confirm because only Tinubu has the certificate which he ordered and which had been picked up for him and that the school does not keep students'certificates. Nowhere in the interrogation did Westberg use the word fake or forged as Atiku's lawyer tried to make him say so. Fact is there is no scintilla of doubt that President Tinubu attended and graduated from CSU. As my colleague, Temitope Ajayi, pointed out in his widely-publicised tweet, “You can only forge a certificate you never earned." President Tinubu honourably earned his degree and he had no reason to forge the certificate of a degree he had in his kitty. He graduated Summa Cum Laude, with distinction. He was on the Vice Chancellor’s Honour List for all his years in the school. Insinuation by anyone that he forged a certificate he worked for is sad and misleading.

Indeed, attempts by some to liken the situation with those of the disgraced former House of Representatives Speaker, Salisu Buhari and former Minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun are disingenuous.
Former Speaker Buhari forged the certificate of Toronto University he never attended. He was removed from office for the forgery. Former President Obasanjo later pardoned him. As for former Minister Adeosun, those who brought her to limelight and sponsored her for the ministerial appointment arranged a fake NYSC exemption certificate for her to scale Senate screening. The same people did her in when disagreements broke out between them, giving her away as a certificate forger over which she eventually resigned. The cases are markedly different: President Tinubu earned his stripes.

In the final analysis, it is yet unclear how Atiku plans to benefit from whatever he claims to have brought back from the US. Certificate forgery was not pleaded in his election petition now at the Supreme Court. Without being a lawyer, this is a civil case and I understand you can't make new pleas or present new evidence in a case that has passed the court of first instance and is at present on appeal at the Supreme Court.

What the Waziri Adamawa has demonstrated in all of his Shenanigans is that he is a sore loser. Will he gain what he failed to get at the ballot through his present indecent and unpatriotic overseas search and unfounded and hollow discovery, making a mountain where there is even no molehill, uneccesarily heating up the polity and denigrating the Justices of the Supreme Court? I don't think so!

Obidients Fight Dirty, blocked Each Other Over their own Fake News

Feintline:
Leave all these your lie lie grammar.

Listen, No matter the third , fourth or fifth vendor grammar. If your certificate is real, your school or college will authenticate it wherever and whenever they are called to.

CSU under oath blantly, boldly and clearly denied the certificate your master submitted to Inec.

There is no grammar or apian way to cover it up. The certificate was forged. There is no explanation.

Why are you lying ?

You know I like to do my due diligence before I take sides.. this morning I emailed my school to get a diploma replacement and that's the message i got..

BAT may have a point here.. just maybe.. you have the right to your own interpretation.

Chai, why do these people behave like animals

I asked my dad this question. Why are we like this 63 yrs after?

His answer..

You need to be here 59 yrs ago! This place was a bush!

1. After 59 years, we have at least a fairly looking city of Abuja. Note, Abuja was a thick forest 59 years ago.

2. 59 yrs ago, we had only one university. The. UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN.. Today, we've 154 universities just in 59 years

3. 59 years ago, we had less than 200 qualified doctors in the whole country. 59YRS after, Unilag alone produces 250 doctors per annum.

4. In fact, 30 yrs ago, Lekki Peninsula was a mangrove. Today, it ranks among the fastest developing estates in the world.

5. There was no Nigerian Pliot 59 yrs ago. Today, we have female Nigerian pilots flying planes with international airlines.

6. The first African nation to participate and win a junior world cup. We've won it 5 times. We have even won the Olympics Gold medals in football and High Jump. We have won more football laurels than the United Kingdom

7. The total National Income of the Nation was less than 1B USD 59 years ago. All the so called Cotton, Groundnut pyramids, Cocoa etc generated less than 1B USD as of 1960. Today, Nigerias' FDI is 20B USD per annum. That's progress. We seemed not to measure.

8. ANPA - Association of Nigerian Physicians in Northern America, New York branch has 5000 Nigerian Doctors and Medical Professionals. 2nd highest ethnic group of physicians in the United States and UK after India....that's progress in intellectual development.

9. Within 59 years of corporate existence, we've produced a Nobel Prize Winner, a Pulitzer Award Winner, and other professional leaders of global repute

10. In 59 years, we now do Renal Surgery, IVR, Organ Transplant, and some good scientific breakthroughs.

11. We have dropped fetishness and poor hygiene to an extent that Polio and Cholera had been almost eradicated. This had dropped the number of children per woman from an average of 8 in 1960 to 3 -4 in 2019.

13. We contribute about 5% of global fossil fuel. This had earned Billions of Dollars, though not properly managed, but had kept our finances as a nation.

14. We had fought the Civil War and recovered, we had survived about 5 military regimes and survived. We had had 20 years of uninterrupted democracy.

15. Most of us reading this post are living in a "Cement Building" wanna know how houses were built 59 years ago,? Pay a visit to your granny's building in the "village"

16. There was a story that the Entire Northern Nigeria had less than 10 graduates as of 1959. The dearth of human capital was touted as the reason Sir Ahmadu Bello deferred independence to 1960 for fear of dominance of the fairly educated south. Check the number of graduates ABU alone produces per year as of 2019.

17. 1960, the Oba or Igwe or Emir of your village was a god! They even have power of lives! 2019 , you can take him to court if he infringes on your rights....!

18. Almost 2 million Nigerians write JAMB per year. That's 2 million people who can at least read and write. Check the population of Nigerians that can read as at 1960.

19. How many military generals do we have 59 years ago? How Many Naval Admirals? How many Airforce Commanders? How many professors? How many Vice Chancellors , How many Military Bases, Banks? Bank Directors and Managers? SME Directors, Music Producers, World Class Singers and Composers, Authors, Doctors and Nurses, Engineers, Architects, Business Men and Women?.....etc......all we have then were itinerant subsistence farmers and the elites are village teachers isn't it?
The entire SW Nigeria had only one TV and One Radio Station as of 1960. Today, we've over 200 functional private radio & TV stations just within 59 years

20. I think overall, we've tried as a nation.

We've tried MAMSER, SAP, AGOA, NEPAD, VISION 2010, MDG, VISION 2020, MILITARY, PARLIAMENT, DEMOCRACY, EVEN, WE TRIED ABACHA.....!

In all, we are not there yet, but I think we've tried.

ENVIRONMENTAL INFRACTION: LAGESC SEALS AGBADO OKE-ODO MARKET

… Three Suspects Arrested During Raid

The Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) ‘KAI’ has enforced the closure of the Agbado Oke-Odo market due to identified environmental infractions like street trading, hawking, indiscriminate dumping of refuse and lack of general hygiene.

Speaking on the closure today at the Command Headquarters, Bolade-Oshodi. Corps Marshal of the Agency, CP Gbemisola Akinpelu (retd) said the operation was based on the numerous petitions and complaints from Lagos residents about the deplorable level of filth, environmental degradation at the Agbado Oke-Odo market area and our intelligence team investigated these claims which turned out to be true, resulting in the closure of the market till further notice and arrests of suspects for obstruction.

Akinpelu revealed that three suspects, namely Taiwo Abeeb, M, 53; Ismaila Adeniji, M, 35 and Akeem Kelani, M, 40, were arrested for obstructing and attacking operatives on lawful duty with dangerous weapons and ammunition which resulted in a deep wound on a KAI operative.

Maintaining that the suspects will be charged to court for onward prosecution, the retired Commissioner of Police emphasised the need for markets to embrace a high level of hygiene through appropriate dumping of refuse via approved PSP operators, adding that the setbacks, lay-bys of external market premises must not accommodate street traders and hawkers.
