They removed subsidy saying that the money will be channeled into health care and education but they have increased the school fees of federal schools and my question now ism what are they going to do with the money that they are extracting from us?

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is running market economy with little government intervention , allowing private ownership/ market forces to determine all business decisions concerning how a business is run.
This type of economy leads to greater efficient allocation of scarce resources, productivity and innovation.
It’ll ultimately free up resources for government to fund education,health, transportation, agriculture and social investments for the benefit of the down trodden masses

Fugazy2023:
Loyalty pays. You may not like it but it is what it is. I know some of you don't like a loyal friend but that is your problem.

I quite agree with you but in order to maintain equity, fairness and justice, the North Central should retain the position of the National Chairman due to the fact that the:

SOUTH WEST: has the President, Chief of Staff, Senate leader and APC General Secretary.

NORTH WEST : Speaker House of Reps , Deputy Senate president .

NORTH EAST: Vice President, APC Deputy National Chairman ( North), Deputy Senate leader

NORTH CENTRAL: Secretary to Government of the Federation

SOUTH SOUTH: Senate president

SOUTH EAST: Deputy Speaker, Senate Deputy leader
But in view of the fact that majority of the APC votes in the presidential election came from the first four zones above, the North Central geopolitical zone should retain post of the National Chairman and probably reserve it for tGovernor Yahaya Bello , when he finishes his tenure soon.

Okwyjesus:
Balanced

Honourable James Faleke is missing in action. I think something is not correct with the list, because Hon. Faleke was Tinubu’s agent during the June 2022 APC presidential primary election and also the secretary of the 2023 APC presidential campaign council.
Hope he has not fallen out of favour with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, due to his constant quarrels with Femi Gbajabiamila , over the appointment as the chief of staff.

i forgot to add Wasiu Taiwo, scored on his debut for Eagles against USA at the Gold Cup in '95.

Going down memory lane, I remember the Green Eagles of the 1973 All African Games that won the Gold Medals like Emmanuel Okala, Tony Igwe, Morton Owolo , Sanni Muhammed, Victor Oduah, Dominic Ezeani, Sunny Oyarekhua, Kenneth Olayombo, Haruna Ilerika, Yakubu Mambo and Josiah Dombraye.

SalamRushdie:
This is sign that our economy has gone worse under Tinubu , if Dangote became poorer it means every Nigerian has also become poorer whether we like it or not

On the contrary, our economy is getting set for the upward trajectory. It’s a sign of redistribution of wealth, as more Naira will now be taken from the rich, by the government ,to execute projects for the common good of everyone..

solmusdesigns:

You can't appoint a chief of staff without approval from Senate
Senate inuaguration is in June
.

The position of the Chief of Staff is not recognized by the constitution, it’s not subject to Senate approval. It’s just a position meant for the administrative convenience of the president. It’s meant to ease and streamline the heavy work schedule of the president

MisterBanny:
It's no longer news that Buhari failed us. That's why Nigerians came out in their numbers to unanimously elect Tinubu to right the many wrongs of Buhari's maladministration and it's attendant consequence on Nigerians

Let’s put it in another way and see whether your statement makes sense- It’s no longer news that APC failed us. That’s why Nigerians came out in their numbers to unanimously elect APC to right the wrongs of APC maladministration and it’s attendant consequence on Nigerians .
This means It’s either APC did not fail and Nigerians unanimously re-elected them or APC failed, but Nigerians still preferred to put up with their failure.

sirchim:
You can say that to a primary school pupil. Save your breath jor, we all knew who won the election.

What you know is irrelevant , it’s hearsay and not admissible . It’s what INEC announces that stands. Your personal opinion does not count, it is for your own consumption. If by tomorrow evening, if you’re asked who the president and commander- in-chief of the armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria is, remember to say it’s Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Keep what you think you know to yourself.

Cruztvblog:
Days to expiration of her husband’s regime, first lady Aisha Buhari has pushed for severance packages and privileges for wives of president like their spouses.

“I married my husband as the wife of a former president. I am going in a few days as a wife of a former president a second time,” Mrs Buhari narrated.” They should consider us as former first ladies. They should incorporate the first ladies, give us some privileges that we deserve as first ladies, not just the former presidents.”

The first lady made this call at President of the Defence and Police Officers’ Wives Association (DEPOWA), Vickie Anwuli Irabor’s book launch in Abuja on Friday.

Though Nigerian Constitution does recognise the office of first lady, Mrs Buhari’s advocacy for privileges for wives of former presidents contradicts calls by critics who see huge severance packages and privileges attached to public offices as an unnecessary burden on the country.

Former presidents, former vice presidents, governors and their deputies enjoy large severance packages and privileges after four year tenure in Nigeria, a practices that cost the country and states huge fortune.
See more posts [url] https://cruztvblognaija.com.ng/2023/05/27/first-ladies-should-also-get-severance-benefits-aisha-buhari/[/url]

It means that wives of Public Servants, who have served for 35 years or have attained the mandatory age of 60 years at retirement, also deserve severance packages and privileges.

LesbianBoy:
The fact that yaradua was honest about how the election went doesn't mean it was the worst. Because I can see all these APC supporters always saying that rubbish. He was just an honest man that admitted the election was flawed. But you see this 2023 election, it was actually the worst. Atleast then people voted and there was rigging. In this year own, open threats, violence, insults, announcing the president elect in the midnight, not much celebration, ethnic profiling to the extent that even those that were yoruba were suspected to be igbos and refused them from voting!
This is the worst election not just in the 4th republic but in the history of Nigeria

The 2007 election was adjudged to be the worst in this fourth republic, not only because of Yaradua’s admission, but because it was conducted 100 % manually, without technology like card reader, BVAS , IREV, server , etc. If the 2023 presidential election was massively rigged as you have insinuated , then how could you explain why:
1. Buhari lost Katsina state , even as a sitting President.
2. Tinubu lost Lagos and Oshun states
3. The Senate president, Ahmed Lawan lost Yobe state .
4. Femi Gbajabiamila also lost Lagos.
5. APC chairman, Adamu Abdullahi lost Nasarawa state
5. Governors El- Rufai, Ganduje, Bagudu, Masari, Mai Mala Bunu, Inuwa Yahaya, Sule Abdullahi, Lalong, Sanwolu, Ayade, Hope Uzodinma could not deliver their states and yet, you think it is the worst election.
I believe you can only rig at your strong base, but these people, with all their power of incumbency could not even win their states . With all due respect, Peter Obi was never in my contemplation to win the presidential election, he was only their to decimate Atiku’s chances, and hand the trophy to Tinubu on a platter of gold.

bennybuhari:
Fashola couldn't complete the major road in Southwest as Minister in eight years. Failure

Fashola is the poster boy of the Buhari Administration. He has been the hero behind the huge achievements of this government in infrastructural development . He is the reason

sirchim:
Then why didn't your Eyeneck send the results immediately to the IREV as they promised?

Are you not aware that the Supreme Court recently ruled that the BVAS is the primary source of records and not the IREV or the server?
No wonder, just like 2019 you have all gone to lay siege to hack the INEC server/IREV .
For your information, no law compels INEC on electronic transmission of results, what the electoral law says is immediate transmission .

sirchim:
With a RIGGED mandate, not a GENUINE one. He himself, knows he never won the election on a clean sheet. If you claim Jagaban, then beat the TSUNAMI himself on a clean sheet.

It’s an insult for a bronze medalist (3rd position) to be challenging the gold medalist (1st position) , without following due process by first sorting it out with the silver medalist ( 2nd position) .
The feeble tsunami that cannot even match a wind , claims a stolen mandate that never existed.

LeoDeKing:
Just give it to this man. Only God knows how he does it. Within few minutes of his intervention, sworn enemies become friends. He just resolved the long standing feud between two men from different political parties.
Yet some retards who can't resolve little differences between people in the same party are comparing their punctured brains with him. Imagine, they even went public physically assaulting themselves and the chief lamba clown is even talking about "his preferred" chairman.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu won’t betray anyone, he is already planning ahead for the next election, by trying to bring as many A- list powerbroker on board as possible.
He did the same thing, on his assumption of office as the Governor of Lagos state and that is why he has a firm grip of the state.
Under Governor Ganduje’s watch as an incumbent, APC lost the presidential , senatorial, house of reps ,governorship and house of assembly elections in Kano state. Isn’t it obvious who controls the state.

mandavodigital:
Why do Nigeria do not want Bola Tinubu?

Nigerians do not only WANT him, we NEED him at this critical period, to continue the development of critical infrastructure, provision of adequate security, economic development, good governance and fight against corruption.

LeoDeKing:
The same constitution says FCT should be treated as a state for the purpose of election. If you like, wake Albert Einstein from the dead to come give mathematical coloration to it, that is your business.

It does not take rocket science to establish Tinubu’s victory, having scored the highest number of votes and 25% in 29 states already in the kitty . He has won fair and square, with or without 25% in FCT. Nothing makes residents of the FCT more Nigerian or important than the rest of us.

LeoDeKing:
Yes it has a special status.
But considered one of the 37 states for the purpose of spread during election.

The mathematical interpretation of the provision of the constitution on this requirement is as stated below:

2/3 ( 36 states + FCT)

= 2/3 * 37 states
= 74/3 states
= 24 . 667 states
= 25 states ( approximately)

As illustrated above, the use of the word AND in the constitution, with regard to this requirement, means PLUS. It does not mean OR , or separate the FCT for any special requirement.
Therefore, it’s not compulsory to score 25% in the FCT

lonecatt:
head of states that you went to lobby just as you have been trying to lobby opposition leaders
Tinubu will be disgraced

Maybe you are referring to Tinubu’s extension of olive branch to Bode George .
It’s not an indication of weakness on the part of Tinubu , but because of a friendly request from Governors Nyesom Wike and Seyi Makinde , in furtherance of the working relationship between the G-5 and the APC, during the 2023 presidential election , since Bode George also belongs to the group.

David160:
Tinubu is the north's bitch.. He won't do anything that will upset them in anyway.
Under buhari both the executive, judiciary and legislature was held by the north... Almost all service chiefs, key appointments were all held by the northerners... Now they're demanding senate presidency and key ministerial positions or they withdraw support.
Tinubu supporters can't condemn dem or even call out the fulani herdsmen killing the poor farmers in the SW.
Tinubu will keep dancing to the north's tune.. They have him 60% of his vote.. He's dere bitch.. 🤦‍♂️

Whether Tinubu dances to the tune of the north or not, does not concern you. Where were you when the north gave him 63. 5 % of his total votes ?
The north stood by him when you were busy condemning the Muslim/ Muslim ticket, questioning his health status, saying that he was too old, calling him a drug lord , accusing him of certificate forgery and dual citizenship.
They stood by him through thick and thin, from the APC presidential primary to the general election, on the 25th February, 2023.

Akwamkpuruamu:
They're afraid of their shadows

Live broadcast of proceedings of the presidential election tribunal does not make any difference, don’t we watch live broadcast of football matches, even with VAR. Has it stopped the referees from being biased ?
Even if the court proceedings take place inside the National secretariat of the PDP at the WADATA HOUSE or inside the Labour Party secretariat, or both, it does not stop anything.

Tntsi:
It's very simple. Unfortunately criminally minded people try to twist it for their criminal purposes.
The drafters of the constitution did not have anybody in mind when the constitution was drafted. It is what it is.
These matters have been brought before the supreme court of Nigria in 2003 and 2008. And the lordship ruled just as it is in the constitution.
It is simple. If you will be president of Nigeria, winning the FCT is not mandatory. It is optional. But getting a 25% of votes in the FCT is MANDATORY

Thanks for the explanation. The mathematical interpretation of the provision of the constitution on this requirement is as stated below:

2/3 ( 36 states + FCT)

= 2/3 * 37 states
= 74/3 states
= 24 . 667 states
= 25 states ( approximately)

As illustrated above, the use of the word AND in the constitution, with regard to this requirement, means PLUS. It does not mean OR , or separate the FCT for any special requirement.
Therefore, it’s not compulsory to score 25% in the FCT

Parachoko:
So why are you wailing?
Akpabio performed better as a Governor than Obi, yet, you're here wailing bitterly
Akpabio is fit to become the Senate President and there's nothing wrong in Asiwaju supporting him because he also supported Asiwaju.

Don’t mind them, in addition to stepping down during the APC presidential primary, it was even Tinubu that facilitated Akpabio’s defection to the APC, when he was the PDP’s minority leader during the 8th Senate

helinues:
Except if we want to be deceiving ourselves, this Obi's supporters are not ready to accept the outcome of the presidential election even if SC made their decisions.
Election can only be fair if they are the declared winner.
It's time to monitor them keenly, acclaimed Lekki massacre na something not to forget in hurry.
Shine eyes on them

In my own opinion, the best news to the Obidients is not only when they are declared the winner but also if the APC is proscribed /disbanded and Tinubu is confirmed dead and buried . They are too desperate to see the backs of Tinubu and APC.

Guyman01:
That was a slip, he had earlier mentioned 2005 and I was expecting the presenter to call his attention to the slip but he also missed it.
This is not supposed to be news to open a thread

It’s not supposed to be news to open a thread because the calamity was made by the ‘Almighty and infallible’ Peter Obi but when the president elect , His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, made a Freudian slip about PDAPC, it went viral. Different strokes for different folks

Gbogbowa:
you better face reality many APC governor lost their state to OBi and ATIKU so how did Tinubu win? He only grab power through Yakubu period. Apc lost kastina, kano, kaduna, lagos, imo, ebonyi, cross river, plateau, Nasarawa, Abuja

Tinubu won the presidential election because in most of the states where the APC lost to the PDP, the margins were very close, but they led PDP with very wide margins where they won, even in states like Lagos and Kano , where they came second, they still led PDP with wide margins.
Sorry for not mentioning Peter Obi, I never reckoned with him as a serious candidate, because I don’t know how he could have won without the massive northern Muslim votes , as well as the Yoruba people and since they won’t vote for him, I can’t see him emerging victorious. Strictly my opinion.

tuborme:
Nigeria will be a great country if Obi is allowed to rule

Peter Obi should forward his CV to Tinubu, before it’s too late. He can still be considered as the Minister of Education of the Federal Republic of Nigeria , since we now have the largest out of school children in the world

lhordspy:
That is the new reality, my friend.
'Pikin wey say im mama no go rest, im self no go sleep'
We are all human being, put yourself in Tinubu's shoe. Will you also be happy to embrace people who antagonised you on your way to success and still hellbent on dragging you down even after you made it?

According to them, Tinubu is in possession of a stolen mandate,they are already in court to reclaim it and until the supreme court gives its judgment, they can’t partake in sharing what they are in dispute of. Chikena.
Moreover, Nigeria is made up of several hundreds of ethnic groups , it’s not compulsory that Ibos must be included in everything, especially where they did not contribute.

Bhella5:
I have been an Arsenal fan since the days of Lee Dixon. I have witnessed 3 EPL as a proud gunners. Tinubu is an equivalent of Azikiwe so Alaye shift.

I’m an Arsenal fan and I also support APC/Tinubu but Tinubu himself does not only support Manchester United, he is a shareholder.

helinues:
Who cares.
You people should ask Obi to appoint his inaugural committee.
You can't reap where you did not sow
This Ohaneze would just open their mouth gbau after drinking ogogoro and kolanut

Ask them how many non- Ibos are in Peter Obi’s legal team,currently defending his fake claim of stolen mandate at the presidential election tribunal. It shows their level of hypocrisy.
