Tonim: M. Buhari has ruled for 8 years. It’s now the turn of a Southerner to rule for the same 8 years.
Why did Tinubu break that cycle twice in 2011 and in 2015? Any idea why he made Jonathan a one term president, by asking Buhari to come out of retirement to get the job of president after three failed attempts
BY next year, the south would have ruled for 17 years and the north for 11 years of our 28 years of enduring democracy since 1999, due to Jagaban of Borgu's Machiavellian greed and selfishness to please his fellow northerners as usual.
Anguldi: Atiku is contesting for Academic exercise 📌💯.
Will Tinubu even allow him to contest and be on the ballot with his legally crippled ADC party, which Amupitan's INEC and Wike's courts are hellbent on preventing from existing, just as they killed ADA party before it was even born
iwaeda: Wike Boasts Of Helping APC Use Judiciary To Kill Osun LG Funds Case, Warns Party Leaders Against Ingratitude
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly boasted that he assisted certain elements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in deploying the judiciary to frustrate the Osun State local government allocation lawsuit.
In a video now circulating widely on social media and obtained by SaharaReporters, Wike made the claim while addressing a crowd in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The former Rivers governor accused the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, of benefitting from judicial actions against the Osun State Government without knowing those who did the work behind the scenes.
The suit in question led to the withholding of local government funds in Osun State, a development widely seen as targeting the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as opposition in the state.
Wike, who spoke angrily, suggested that the court action supporting the APC’s position against the Osun government did not happen by chance, boasting that powerful political forces worked quietly to ensure the outcome.
“Don’t take our support for Mr President for granted,” Wike warned, in an apparent message to APC leaders defending Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “You have to be careful about the statements you make. You have to be very careful.”
He accused Basiru of political ingratitude, claiming the APC was enjoying in Osun State without understanding who engineered their advantage.
“Today, you are enjoying in Osun. You don’t know those who did the work,” Wike said. “You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State.”
sleek214: Atiku will fix all challenges Nigeria is facing .
Vote wisely. Vote for a competent leader not a repackaged fraud that failed woefully as a governor.
Unfortunately, Atiku and ADC won’t be on the ballot next year.
Amupitan’s INEC and Wike’s courts are doing an amazing job of keeping the party out of our political space.
Atiku is also not helping himself and our country with his needless arrogance that chased Kwankwaso and Obi out of their coalition, after his ill thought out interview.

Indeed the problems are surmountable, and we were on the right path with PDP privatisation and deregulation policies driven prosperity, peace and security until 2015.
That year, Tinubu conned us into allowing Buhari to be president, four years after calling him expired. Can anyone imagine that Tinubu bragged about going to Kaduna to beg Buhari to be president and make Jonathan a one term president, so he can get his own turn after eight years of wrecking Nigeria?
Is anyone else more wicked and more selfish than Tinubu in our country? Who is this person
Has this progressive governor of Ajasin’s state employed up to 19,500 teachers as well as healthcare workers and other civil servants like Makinde?
Abi he is simply a progreThief politician like Fayemi, Tinubu and other APC leaders looters.
Babasessy: The Awolowo rebirth in the Southwest has inspired gongs, songs and rhetoric of sorts. But they have missed one point.
It occurred to me in Abeokuta last week amidst the big crowds and euphoria of the swearing-in of Senator Ibikunle Amosun as governor. In all the states from Lagos to Edo, where Awo has witnessed ideological resurgence, hardly a single family member has played a role.
So we have an Awo family without an Awo. That is an irony. But history overwhelms us with this sort of twist. Obafemi Awolowo toiled for his reputation. His roots were lowly, he toiled to school both home and abroad, launched into careers in law, business, journalism and eventually politics. He carved a niche for himself, and became the first methodical and charismatic leftist in our history. Other leftists abounded but they did not inspire comparable drama and following.
He faced tribulations, went to jail, failed in elections, won a few, but he imprinted his ideas and legacy in the country, and no single mortal has beaten him in the history of this country. His greatest achievement was in the area of ideas, and that was how he fashioned a family. Most families are born of biology but his issued from ideology. That family suffered with him.
In a spoof of Jesus Christ, these were the men who followed him in his teachings, and endured with him in his temptations. So he formed a kingdom for them in the Southwest, in the old Western Region, presiding over his projects, his legacies and people.
In all of these, the family he had was not his flesh and blood. In another spoof of Christ, who were his family anyway? Those who were with him must be counted as his family. So, I combed in the ambience of Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), and I found none. I went to Ogun, I frisked the crowd under Amosun’s bower, hardly any. Around Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in Osun, I could not lay a finger. With Governor Kayode Fayemi in Ekiti, where are the forbears of Awo? Yet, I can hear the chants of Awo. Hardly in any of the inaugural speeches or any of their other public intervention would you miss the philtre and filter of Awo from these gentlemen. To parody Novelist Joseph Conrad, they are the sparks from Awo’s sacred fire, the messengers of the might within the man.
Already all of them are pursuing the legacy ideas of Awo: free education, free health services, infrastructural development, urban renewal and economic engineering.
Lagos has posted itself as the John the Baptist. The others are putting up valiant efforts, and the world of course is watching to see how well they will perform. It will call for great work, resourcefulness and cooperation. They are the real Awoists, and Awo was a man of rigour and vigour.
The Awo son that many expected to take after the father was Olusegun, who unfortunately died in a car crash. We shall never know if he could have pulled it off. But the others have not shown much of the paterfamilias’ brio and depth. In the past decade, under this republic, they have blended with the wrong crowd. Even H.I.D, hobnobbed with Alao-Akala, who brought illiteracy to governance; with Oyinlola who turned the grace of office into a hell-hole of despots; with Daniel who could not arrest his quick fall into megalomania.
I wrote once that this woman whom Awo once described as the jewel of inestimable value has lost value to his cause. If he came back to life, he would have committed the extraordinary act of divorce after death. Even his newspaper, The Tribune, has so stumbled and fallen that it swims in Awo’s vomit.
CyynthiaKiss: Nigerian Christians are endangered species under Tinubu’s satanic/demonic government..
Nigerian Christians are in big trouble!!!
Did insecurity ever get this bad during the 16 years of PDP prosperity, peace and security, driven by deregulation and privatisation policies?
Did we ever invite America or any other country to invade our territory, to kill innocent northerners under the guise of looking for Muslim terrorists accused of Christian genocide
What exactly is Tinubu useful for? Is there anything he has done right since 2023?
yarimo: With all ADC noise they are not up to 1.5 millions ameachi you must not accept that fraudulent primary election
If you accept APC and Tinubu’s biggest fraud on Nigerians, then what is your point here?
What is the subsidy you are FORCED to pay APC government for the massive corruption in their oil sector since 2015?
Abi, when did you ever buy petrol less than N70 in the last 11 years of APC’s incompetence, cluelessness and corruption
anonimi: Petrol should never cost more than N70 per litre, says APC
January 19, 2015
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as mere tokenism the reduction of petrol price from N97 to N87 per litre, saying the petroleum product ordinarily should sell for N70.
On Sunday, the federal government announced the reduction of petrol price, citing the fall of global crude oil price.
But the APC through Lai Mohammed, its spokesman, on Monday accused the government of making a show out of deceit, saying “a 10.3 per cent slash in the price of petrol was a mere tokenism at a time the price of crude oil has crashed by about 60 per cent”.
It argued that the pump price of a litre of petrol should not be more than 70 Naira, alleging that at N87 per litre, the government was forcing Nigerians to subsidise the massive corruption in the oil sector by N17 for every litre of fuel.
Moroccoguy: Is this a joke or what, Atiku has done it again king of primary and 2nd runner up of every election.
Unfortunately for him, Amupitan’s INEC and Wike’s courts are working overtime to ensure he is not on the ballot next year. They have Tinubu’s instructions to get ADC out of the way by all means, just like they killed ADA party before it was even started.

Codedworld1: But if not that we Nigerians are just a foolish person. Same state as a representation down to the local government but we choose to call tinubu where other elected personel failed in their job. Honestly we are not ready let's keep doing content with our lives.
If you are a wise person, then show us where Tinubu called other elected leaders when he was making Buhari president in 2015, four years after calling him expired.
If you are ready, show us any single thing that has changed for better since Tinubu begged Buhari to come out of retirement and make Jonathan a one term president 11 years ago.
HacheNoire: How do you expect the government to take Peter Ogbudu serious?
Should I remind you that Peter Ogbudu was a drug addict that was rehabilitated in the United Kingdom, and previously spent TEN years in a psychiatric home in Lagos, Nigeria?
Y’all expect the government to react to everything but never consider the mental status of the messenger!
Have you considered the mental status of the current tenant of Aso Rock and his drug addiction
Racoon: Festus Keyamo Defends Tinubu From Drug Trafficking, Says Tinubu Mistakenly Shared Flats With Drug Lords
The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mr Festus Keyamo, has distanced the All Progressive Congress presidential candidata, Bola Tinubu, from being a drug baron who was involved in the traffic of narcotics in the United States.
Keyamo, who also doubles as APC Presidential Campaign spokesperson, noted that the former governor of Lagos State only shared a block of flat with drug barons about 30 years ago in the US.
His reaction is coming following documents of a Chicago District Court indicting and convicting Tinubu of drug dealings and money laundering in 1993.
The document which emerged online two days ago, described APC standard-bearer as a drug baron, adding that Tinubu entered a plea bargain, leading to the forfeiture of his assets to US authorities in 1993
It was also pointed out that Tinubu forfeited the sum of $460, 000 dollars in his bank account at First Heritage Bank to the US government.
Speaking on Wednesday on Channels TV, Mr Keyamo dismissed such claims, insisting that Tinubu was linked to drug peddlers who were his neighbours.
He said: “What happened was that Tinubu went to open an account. The address which he used in opening the account was the address used by these people. I think some blocks of flats. Maybe, he was happy to be in that block of flats too.
“So, they now link it that the other people they were investigating for narcotics are in the same address used by Asiwaju to open that account.’’
markjam05: My brother this is a topic for another long discussion but you're not far from the truth. There are so many ingredients that culminate to this anomaly.
It is essentially the system, it rewards impunity, it does not punish impunity. Its a deeply corrupt system, these are not leaders at the helm of affairs cos no leader would want to see his followers suffer, these are overlords protecting thier estate through their proteeges, Sons, families and cronies.
Odewaleadesoye: …...whether we agree with his policies or not, politically, Tinubu is exceptional.
Of what use is Tinubu’s master strategist politics, if he is clueless about governance?
If Tinubu builds people instead of just stealing money to build wealth corruptly, then why is Lagos State having less than 5% schools run by government, after 27 years of progressive governance and 100 times increase in the state budget
Arostar2023: You and Ironface are obviously same. Why attack Obi? Is he the only one in the opposition? What about the mighty Atiku? It’s clear that you are on a smear campaign.
The issue is about Obi being unserious because he wants the job of president handed to him by consensus and stepping down of other candidates.
How is the man who rescued Obi from political obscurity in 2019, anything like this
psalmsjob: Lack of reading and comprehending rearing its head again or just plain miscellaneous...the guy you quoted didn't say peter obi should take them to court but to dispute the figures on his arise tv at least raise objection to the figures but you're instead capping rubbish.....i guess all the opposition party inuding peter obi knows that they don't probably even have up to those numbers so are quite to hide their shame
markjam05: From the Desk of the Mace thief. What a Joke... but hey welcome to Nigeria where thugs and gangstars have hijacked the political space.
There's something about political office in Nigeria that once the holder loses an election he immediately has severe withdrawal symptoms that the only way to cure it is to go back to be reelected by any means necessary.
Any idea why 200 million Nigerians allow thugs and gangsters to emerge from among us to hijack OUR political space?
Do you think this is because we are all thugs and gangsters too

Is it possible that the people are protesting against Kwankwaso making himself a willing tool for Tinubu to continue his worsening of APC extreme poverty and insecurity shege, instead of working to return Nigeria to the deregulation and privatisation policies of PDP that gave us 16 years of prosperity, cheap petrol, low debt, low unemployment, low insecurity etc
SadiqBabaSani: Smile, all these propaganda doesn't change the fact that Nigerians over 80% of them are dissatisfied with the leadership of the current government and would vote this government out before 12pm on an election day.
Your unsubstantiated claim of 80% is laughable when only 10% of us voted in the hyped 2023 election.
Did you vote in 2023? How many of your friends and relatives voted
lamentor78: No Nigeria politician is as patriotic as Tinubu which year did you hear Tinubu resign from one party to another, once they lose primaries they hate the party that brought them to power
You should find out what patriotism means and then rewrite your comment.
keemsleek: School is not a scam. There is difference between name changing, merging, and porting. SDP and NRC were the only parties then so he was in SDP ( I'm sure u heard the story) After Abdulsalam was going to hand over to civilians AD came up and lost the Presidential election, it was more of a regional party so they changed the party name from to AC then ACN and finally became a national party when they merged with CPC and part of ANPP to form APC.... unlike Obi, who ported, jumped from party to paApgafrom Apga to pdp to LP to ADc now NDC.
Hope you get the twist now.
Alliance for Democracy, AD did not become Action Congress, AC.
Rather, Tinubu left AD to form his own party, AC. The AD had a presidential candidate in 2007, just as AC did.
Bentacur007: Yarimo come and see ooo They are porting ooo Don’t blame Peter Obi.. He is very wise than you think
If Obi is truly a wise person, then why was it so easy for his own protégé Obiano to kick him out of APGA in 2014, five years before Atiku redeemed him to be his VP candidate?
If Obi is truly a wise man, then why did Utomi deceive him in 2023, like Kwankwaso is doing now?
Unreliable, untrustworthy, unprincipled, party-hopping Utomi was incidentally the first presidential candidate of ADC.
lexylaw40: The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
The governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in Oyo State, Tawfiq Akinwale, [/b]on Wednesday [b]stated that the “President-elect” Bola Tinubu asked popular economist, Prof Pat Utomi to step down for Peter Obi in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.
Akinwale made this revelation while he appeared as a guest on a radio programme on 101.7 YES FM, Ibadan, Oyo State, while alleging that Obi received campaign funds from Utomi, whom he described as Tinubu's "son."
The LP aspirant, who spoke in Yoruba language, said "In the buildup to the 2023 elections, Obi who had purchased the nomination form of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), suddenly announced his exit from the party.
"Initially, Pat Utomi had secured the LP's presidential ticket, but when Peter Obi said he resigned from the PDP and joined the LP. Bola Tinubu, a master political strategist, quickly told Utomi, that everyone knows to be his son to step down for Obi.
"The “president-elect” saw in Obi's presidential bid, a good chance to reduce the winning chances of the presidential candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar.
"What Peter Obi didn't know is much more that what he knows, he started collecting campaign funds from Utomi, while Tinubu was giving the money to Utomi.
"This went on until Obi's presidential campaign got to a stage it went beyond target. Obi was used without him knowing," Akinwale said after announcing his departure from the party.
Obi defected to the LP after resigning his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and also withdrawing from the presidential race under the party.
The former governor consequently joined the race for the party’s presidential ticket, while Professor Pat Utomi, in June 2022 stepped down for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, LP, unopposed in Asaba, Delta State.
kedeojo: Can you be bold to mention your state and let compare and contrast between Lagos governor's since 1999 to your own state. the time start now.
Lagos is my state and we have a great legacy in the four years of progressive UPN governance before Buhari’s only successful coup against democratic institutions in local, state and federal levels in legislative and executive branches.
Splashme: The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.
Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.
The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.
Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”
The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.
Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.
He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?
IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.
Sunkab: .How much have you spent on the party or candidate you are supporting? Since you must spend money before supporting a candidate.
I have spent and continue to spend money on candidates and parties that best represent my governance principles for deregulation and privatisation policies and free education for all children as well as pipe borne water supply, among others.
I am also spending my time, talents and other resources to promote these policies in local, state and federal governments.
