This sounds familiar. I wonder where I heard this before...

lolz....let wait till campaign,then we know where,will go hear more familiar sounds

Ojady:
Are these not PDP disguised as Labour party stalwarts?

When one sees photos like these, one wonders why those at the bottom come on nairaland and begin to represent these people shamelessly shouting Jagaban, Atikulated, Obidient...whatever, upandan.
The other day it was Tinubu to see Obasanjo, now Obi too.These people think they have everyone fooled like kids issued candy.

Sincerely, who ever wins this election is not going to change anything for anybody not in the political class of Nigeria. You can take that to the bank. Even Peter Obi is beginning to be suspect... I mean, watch his movements carefully, he is cozy with Errrybody - PDP O, Cultists...sorry Pyrates O, Christians O, name it. But not to anyone who falls under the "masses" group.

Should this not be alarming?.
I mean, the other 2 (Alhajis Atiku and Tinubu) we know, are confirmed "devils", yet they are select with their visits and dont appear to be
Everybody's friend like Obi. Something is fishy.

Nonetheless, All these folks are the same, they are only about maintaining their privilege/status. They are all on the same side?

Until such "high places" of darkness, blood sacrifice, witchcraft, occultism, materialism and pecuniary accumulation are challenged and pulled down, no progress can be made by anyone, even Obi, for that country.

We are watching! Carefully!!

CheapHomes1:
What has what you said got to do with the comment I made? Who is my oga and when did we have any discussion about atiku or oga?

comon sense is not comon

SenatePresdo:
If you ask Urchins what Tinubu actually did in lagos, they would tell you he increased Lagos Revenue.

Did Tinubu create any multinational company that yields money for lagos?

The Multimillion companies he's collecting Tax from, did he found them?

The population of Lagos that made it become a very large market, thus its increase in human capital and GDP, how is it Tinubu's doing?

Meanwhile,

Lagos monthly Revenue is nothing less than 150 Billion Naira, but Tinubu's Alpha Bet says its just about 45 Billion naira.

That means, he steals around 90 Billion from Lagos monthly, and still collects 10 percent inside the 45 Billion he remits. That man is probably Richer than Dangote and Obasanjo.

He's been the Ruler of the 5th biggest Economy in Africa for over 23 years.

Imagine looting the 5th biggest Economy in Africa for that years.

Yet he shouts Emilokan.

If 50 percent of lagos funds were invested in lagos, Johannesburg would be a child's play.

no Governor, president,Private individual 1999 to date is richer than Bola Ahmed...this man worth more than half of Nigeria Bidget..we are talking about trillions in Naira

CheapHomes1:

Then keep quiet,if u don't have anything to say..who is ur candidate

ceede2:
I won't be surprise if Peter Obi dump LP come 2023, before someone can talk about experience, competent, people need a track to prof the point, a slogan that says winner never quit, n quieter never win is not wrong

Don't be surprise if PO joint APC next year besides, I don't even bother to read the jargons up there.

the way u guys talk,sometimes amazed me..u talk like a fool who talk before reason,u talk like an agbero or tout...if ur offended,u can as well lick my ass..

SpecialAdviser:
Whenever such words are used including VOTE WISELY, some people feel attacked.

Why, I don't know

lolz..u urself no what vote wisely mean..here lies in ur answer

Staphylococcus:
A new Nigeria with Bola Ahmed Tinubu.


He has done before and will do again.

The track records are there for all to see.

Alaye no be by force..2023 Nigerian will decide

Parachoko:
I don't expect much from lowlifes filled with hate like you and the guy you are talking about

Anybody that wants me to die, nah the person and him family go quench.

I have the right to support whoever I want.

The same Asiwaju haters have been abusing since 2015 because he was sideline by Buhari, is the same person una wan dey blame for Buhari failure? Is Tinubu the President of Nigeria or he is the finance minister or CBN Governor?

My support is for Asiwaju, none of the contestant come close to him in terms of achievement.

Obi failed as the Governor of Anambra State, what he couldn't do in Anambra, nah for Nigeria e go com perform magic?

ur Cup of tea...swallow the curse in good faith....it will do u good..chatting with an urchin is waste of time...

Parachoko:
Peter Obi supporters is mostly made up of IPOB supporters.

Check most of Obi supporters even on Nairaland, they are the same people who have been calling Nigeria a Zoo since 2015.

Now,I can understand why that Alaye curse u,ur children and ur family..Just pray it doesn't come to pass..After APC 7 and half yrs of being in power and you still what them to continue,am sorry to say..Na instant dead for firing squad direct..some people are so wicked,cruel and inhumane.no conscience....evil shall not prevail

Wike should calm down and relax,he should take his time and watch SELINA TESTED,expecially EPISODE 28..the end of sibi..every beginning has an end and every end has a beginning...Life is not about initial gra gra

Watch how Afghaneasterns will twist the narrative to Tinubu, just because they're toddlers when PDP dragged Tinubu to the Code of Conduct Tribunal but lost big! Take a look at the piece below. No be Fulani write am. Na IPOBian write am:



Gov Obi: In the web of N250 million controversy

July 1, 2009

By Vincent Ujumadu, Awka

APART from the 2008 budget of Anambra State which polarized the state House of Assembly and led to its sharp division before the budget was finally passed after the intervention of the State Elders’ Forum, another issue that recently threatened the peaceful coexistence of the 30_member legislature is the controversial N250 million allegedly found with one of the aides of Governor Peter Obi.

Since that incident in Lagos over a fortnight ago, Governor Obi has been on the receiving end, with members of the opposition, especially the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) calling for a full probe into the matter. Some of those who are eyeing governorship seat in the state called for his resignation or in the alternative, that the PDP_ dominated House of Assembly should impeach him.

Shortly after the incident, the South-East zonal chairman of PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh who is from Anambra State visited the House of Assembly and castigated the lawmakers for not cashing in on such an issue to initiate impeachment against Obi.

To him, this is an opportunity the party was looking for to put Governor Obi on the defensive, especially with the 2010 governorship election in the state drawing near. As if that was the tonic needed by the house to begin another battle with Obi, the house set up a three member adhoc committee made up of Messrs Gabriel Onyenyeife, Chinedu Muokwe and Nnamdi Ezike.

In setting up the committee,the House observed that whereas the media , both internet and print were awash with reports that aides of the governor were intercepted with N250 million in cash and whereas the media assistant to the governor has dispelled the reports stating that the money belonged to a government contractor who preferred to carry cash to buy vehicles ordered by government, there was need for the House to get into the root of the matter. The house noted that since the governor himself had called for full investigation by the police, it was proper for it to look into the matter also as part of its oversight functions.

When the issue came up on the floor of the state assembly, the 2008 division of the members was reenacted as there was a rowdy session never witnessed since the inauguration of the House two years ago. At a stage during the debate, some of the lawmakers threatened to form a parallel House if the matter was not properly handled.

As it turned out, it was the same pattern of 2008 in which there were vocal 11 members against others who, based on their political inclination, would always find it difficult to see the good side of the Obi administration. One member for instance, Mr. Simeon Ohajianya representing Ihiala 1 constituency wondered why his colleagues should be pursuing an issue that had since been resolved.

Another member, Sylvester Okeke observed that unless there was another thing the house wanted from Obi, the issue of N250 million should be laid to rest. In the end, the committee could not submit the report and the belief in some quarters was that the matter has died a natural death.

Recall that Obi, who appeared surprised at the dimension the matter was taking, had earlier petitioned the Inspector -General of Police, Sir Mike Okiro urging him to investigate the matter, especially the angle that arms and foreign currency were found in his official cars that were going for repairs in Lagos which carried the said N250 million.

To him, the brouhaha over the interception of the said money was a grand political conspiracy to smear his image in what was a straightforward contractual and business transaction. It was gathered that the money in question had since been returned to the contractor who is already procuring the vehicles the money was meant for.

Indeed, when the opposition observed that the arms and foreign currency angles could not click, they dropped them and concentrated on the N250 million, which to them was the money belonging to Anambra people and which the administration of Obi was laundering.

The same issue came up again during the recent visit of members of the Nigerian Guild of Editors to Anambra State . The Guild was in the state for its standing committee meeting and seized that opportunity to visit some of the projects executed by the Obi administration. During a dinner in their honour at the Governor’s Lodge, one of the editors raised the issue and wanted the governor to clarify the situation.

Not wanting to preempt the on_going investigations by the Inspector-General of Police on the matter, Obi said though it would be better to allow the IG complete the investigation, there is the need for the editors to know that the matter was a genuine business transaction by the state government. According to him, the outcome of the police investigation would soon be made public so as to put the matter to rest.

Since Mr. Peter Obi mounted the saddle as the Anambra State governor in March 2006, one of the positive things often said about him is the transparent manner he has been piloting the affairs of the state. His admirers and even political foes would readily admit that if the previous administrations in the state had been prudent in the management of the finances of the state since its creation in 1991 the way he is doing, Anambra would have gone far in terms of development.

Those who commend Obi’s prudent application of financial resources in running the state refer to such issues as considerable reduction in amounts spent in the construction and rehabilitation of roads and building projects. For instance, most of the people who had toured projects executed by the state government in the past three years were surprised that government spent about N600 million to build the magnificent state secretariat in Awka which could easily pass for N1 billion project.

Also, road projects that would ordinarily cost billions of naira were done with much less amount because the governor would always insist on achieving the best with the least amount.

The answer to the governor’s style is not far_ fetched. Those who are familiar with what obtains in the state know that Obi uses only qualified contractors for all jobs in the state, rather than use such contracts for political patronage.

Even in the purchase of government vehicles, Obi would prefer to buy directly from the dealers so as to save money for the state and that was one of the reasons he was hated by professional politicians who depend mainly on government patronage for their upkeep. That was really why the recent report that Governor Obi’s aide was nabbed with N250 million in Lagos has refused to sink among unbiased people in the state.

Since the incident, Obi had been doing a lot of explanation. Last week, he was confronted by reporters over the issue and he gave details of what happened. The explanation ran thus: “Following the increasing incidence of kidnapping and robbery in the state, the state government held a meeting with the heads of administration in the 21 local government areas on the best way to handle the situation.

During one of the meetings, they agreed to purchase two vehicles each for the police and another set of Kia Optima cars for local government liaison officers who would be monitoring government projects in their areas.

“Each of the local governments chairmen then issued a cheque covering the amount for the car to be allocated to his council and a car dealer was contacted to make the purchase on their behalf. However, the dealer who was known to government decided to cash the money in Awka and joined the governor’s convoy going to Lagos .â€

It was obvious that most of the editors were satisfied after Obi’s explanations. President of the Guild, Mr. Gbenga Adefaye was particularly impressed with Obi’s performance as governor after what they saw on ground in parts of the state and could not hide his feelings. “We moved around Anambra State and it was amazing what we saw. The last time I had opportunity of moving around the state was 25 years ago. What we saw today was remarkable. We are not disappointed.

“We notice that there is a serious attempt to develop institutions that can run a thriving state on a sustainable basis. One would like to note the investment in infrastructure; in the health sector, in education. To sum it up, it is like developing a healthy mind and sensible workforce. Hopefully, when all these mature, they will turn around to pay back so that we can have a government that is accountable.

“My advice to you is that you cannot afford to go back. If you go back, history will judge you harshly. We are sure that whatever happens after this, nobody will be able to reverse the good things in Anambra State.

“But it will not be sufficient to keep what you have done in a closet. You don’t light a candle and put it under the table. You need to let the world see and know more about the work you are doing in Anambra. By the time you finish doing that, it would be a kind of mass mobilization of the people at the grass root and on their own, they will be able to come out and decide what direction they want things to go. I do hope that the people of Anambra will not deny themselves the opportunity of sustainable development,†he said.

Somehow, Obi's problem emanated from the fact that before he became governor, he had never been a politician. For instance, on the day first day he met Chief Victor Umeh, the APGA national chairman in 2001 and told him he wanted to contest for governor, Umeh was somehow unsure of him since he was not a major political player in the state.

But then, the APGA national chairman encouraged him and the rest was history.
Indeed, the opposition against him began early in his administration because the political giants saw him as a neophyte. “At a stage, I started asking myself why I had to get involved in it. But then, it became more and more a challenge,†Obi told the editors. But as he was busy trying to provide answers to the numerous problems facing the state, the impeachment came.

It was a situation where all the members of the House belonged to another party and I found myself in a situation where I was saying, please accept me. It wasn’t up to six months and I was impeached illegally over allegations of stealing N4billion. I did nothing to merit the impeachment except that some people said; we don’t want to see him,†he said. Obi jocularly told the editors that he was happy that the level of his stealing had come down from N4 billion in 2006 to N250 million in 2009.

Then few months after he came back from impeachment, there was 2007 election and, according to him, two months before that election, everybody already knew who the next governor was, adding that all he was doing was just marking time and waiting for May29, 2007. Even on May 27, 2007, when he wanted to leave the Government House to go to Abuja, security operatives said that he should not leave with anything, even his briefcase and they said it was a directive from the incoming governor.

We are facing a situation where our party does not have any member in the House of Assembly. I am the only governor of a state where most of the major political players are not with him. So what they do everyday when they wake up is to say, this man must go. If you go out there, they will tell you I am not doing anything, even when they see what I am doing. Their reasoning is that if they allow this man to succeed, they are finished politically.

They keep saying I collect N500 million every month as security vote and I have not seen 40% of that amount. In 2008, the House, which has no APGA member in it approved security vote for me and I did not spend 60% of it.

Again, in this state, I am the highest tax payer, having paid over N52.8 million in the last 10 years. No other person has paid close to that. I paid this tax even when nobody was taxing me. I came here to serve the people and not to waste their resources.

Apart from the house in my village, I have only one property in Nigeria and that is a house in Festac Lagos. No other place in Nigeria do I own a piece of land and they keep saying I have property in Abuja and all other places. So, the story of seeing guns and dollars in my cars was all part of the type of politics being played in Anambra State.

Omoh,do defend Tinubu no easy at all..all this calumny just to rope Obi..Alaye u dey try

That's why we need to ensure our country gets better.. Saudi Arabia don't even accommodate strangers even if they're Muslims. As long as you're not Arabs. Worse is if you're black. In fact, they hate Blacks the most.

Only Dubai tries to accommodate the Rich Black foreigners but now, they're driving them out too.


That's why we need to develop our country. That's why we need Tinubu, the most progressive competent liberal leader among the candidates need to be voted.

Tinubu's legacies as a Lagos governor include..

1. Creation of Agencies (which employed & still employs thousands of employees):
LSDPC, Public Works, LASTMA, LAMATA, LIRS, much more... Other agencies were then created by then Gov Fashola e.g LASRRA, etc.

2. Building of Public facilities: Standard Millennium Schools, Markets across the state, LASU projects and LASU Teaching Hospital, Other Major Hospitals/General Hospitals includes:

a. Ifako-Ijaye Hospital
b. Alimosho Hospital
c. Somolu Hospital
d. Mushin Hospital
e. Ibeju-Lekki hospital etc and several health care centres.

3. Massive Housing Estates across Lagos.

4. Development of Lekki Ajah axis and others.

5. Conceived the BRT project and constructed the dedicated BRT lane from Island to Mainland. BRT operation started fully under Fashola.

6. Massive Infrastructural development: Construction of Road networks all across Lagos. He invited President Obasanjo to Lagos to commission roads in Surulere, Yaba and other parts of Lagos.

7. Providing IPP to Lagos State Institutions, from General Hospital Lagos Island to Secretariat Alausa

8. Focus on IGR by making economic policies which led to enormous increase in Lagos revenue today. Ensured Lagos thrived despite Obasanjo seizing Lagos allocation for years.

9. Development of Lagos State Public Service & Secretariat Alausa encompassing many MDAs. Employment of Technocrats to head MDAs. 

10. Another big achievement was the conception and starting of Lekki seaport, Eko Atlantic, Lekki Free trade zone and other multi billion dollar projects on the Island.

11. In addition, Tinubu also brought in the First telecom into Nigeria.

Above all, ABAT brought in technocrats into the State Public sector as Commissioners, Heads of MDAs, which has continued till now. He recruited across tribes..

In summary, ABAT is the architect behind the modern Lagos.

Let each candidates list their legacies in relative to how they would improve the country or shut up their noisemaking. Simple as ABC. We're not gonna ride on blind faith like before. Let us improve the country. Tinubu is the only one who can.. The only progressive competent liberal Leader among all the candidates.
