Mariangeles: If Atiku had been playing this type of politics right from time, he would've been a force to reckon with by now.
Onu n'ekwuru oha. The voice that speaks for the people.
Atiku’s generosity, commitment and loyalty to the wrong person is why we didn’t get the chance to experience his better governance 23 years ago. The bankrupt, ex-convict who reneged on the promise of one term like Mandela that he made to those who enabled him to be president in 1999.
Atiku needs to be more blunt and honest about his own plans, and speak directly to us the people who will benefit from his leadership.
aieromon: According to sources available to us that time, Obasanjo said he will do a single term but after that, he decided to go for second term. I was physically present at Rivers state Governor’s Lodge when the heat became too much and Obasanjo in the presence of all of us knelt down in front of Atiku begging him to allow him do a second term. I think that was how Atiku missed the opportunity by agreeing to Obasanjo’s plea. His thought was that at least, if Obasanjo completes his second term, he will hand over to him but you all know the story of Third Term Agenda and that was how they fell apart. Atiku had the best opportunity to become president in 2003 and lost it. He had the support of PDP governors then.
Around November 2002, 15 of the 21 Governors from the PDP including me, had an ad hoc meeting at my lodge in Abuja to decide who should be nominated by the Governors Committee for election by PDP as the presidential nominee for the 2003 Election.
The Governors Committee decided almost unanimously to get a new candidate instead of President Obasanjo as the Committee was of the view that because of his military background, he was intolerant of dissent and had displayed very dictatorial and vindictive tendencies against those he perceived to be independent-minded and disloyal to him.
Immediately after the Governors meeting, I led the delegation of Governors to meet the then PDP Chairman, Chief Audu Ogbeh, at his residence around 2 am.
As the leader of the delegation, I spoke and communicated the views of the Governors to the Chairman, which was that the Governors had decided not to support President Obasanjo as PDPs nominee for the 2003 General Election.
The party chairman tried to persuade us to review our decision but when he saw our resolve, he told us that he would inform the President. I was later informed by Chief Audu Ogbeh that after we left his house he put an urgent call to the President and informed him of our decision.
What then followed were intense consultations before the PDP annual convention which took place in January 2003. Two days before the party convention, the Governors had a breakfast meeting with President Obasanjo.
I recall that at that meeting, the then Vice President Alhaji Abubakar Atiku told the President in the presence of the Governors that he was known to be very dictatorial, vindictive and unforgiving. The President appealed to the Governors to support him and assured both the Governors and the party leadership that if he was allowed to continue for the second term, he would adopt a more democratic approach.
On the basis of the President's assurance, given at that breakfast meeting, I led the move for the Governors to support his presidential nomination for the second term. However, notwithstanding my support for President Obasanjo's nomination for a second term, the President after the nomination, acted very shabbily towards me.
When I met him soon after the convention, he told me that he had learned that I had put forward the view that he was unsellable, unmarketable and unelectable. He then vowed that he was going to make sure that I was unsellable, unmarketable and unelectable.

According to Adesanya, Atiku met the governors the first day of the convention; they urged him to leave Obasanjo and seek the nomination himself. Atiku demurred; he also deflected the suggestion that he join Ekwueme. Finally, Atiku arranged a meeting between Obasanjo and the now irate governors. The governors railed that Obasanjo was hypocritically pursuing them for corruption, while turning a blind eye to corrupt politicians within his own Administration. Atiku supported the governor's position, telling Obasanjo that significant corruption was not the exclusive ambit of the governors and that serious transgressions occurred in the executive branch: he said it would be unjust to focus exclusively on gubernatorial excesses. Assuming the role of mediator, Atiku then asked both sides to affirm their mutual support and cease the antagonism being fueled by elements that wanted to destroy the PDP. The governors agreed to bury the hatchet, if Obasanjo would shelve the dossiers. Having demonstrated his influence with the governors, Atiku continued to play coy with Obasanjo.
In the end, Atiku extracted an extraordinary concession from the President. Obasanjo agreed to relinquish the entire domestic agenda to Atiku, including the appointment of key economic policy-makers. Since Obasanjo focused on the world arena during his first term and aspired for recognition as an international statesman, Atiku said that is where he would like Obasanjo's attentions to remain. Obasanjo would serve the role of a "super Foreign Minister" and ceremonial Head of State. As Adesanya understood the agreement, Atiku would be allowed to direct domestic economic policy while Obasanjo busied himself with debt relief, NEPAD, conflict resolution and other measures to shore up Nigeria's image abroad.
OBJ camp - visit Wikileaks and type the following in the search bar NIGERIA: DIFFERENT INSIDER VIEWS ON THE PDP CONVENTION
The President was dazed, Abayomi recalled. Jarred by the unexpected possibility of defeat, the usually know-it-all Obasanjo eagerly solicited counsel on how to escape the closing vise. Early that day, the dominant theme was to seek a court injunction postponing the convention. Proponents suggested the delay to afford Obasanjo time to marshal support and undermine Ekwueme's momentum. However, this idea was ultimately discarded, partially because of apprehension over the public's reaction. More importantly, the push for an injunction became less urgent when the President's advisors began to sense their man was regaining ground by the hour.
The President owed much of his recovery to his own tenacity and, at times, shamelessness. He pulled out virtually all the stops to clinch the nomination, according to Abayomi. For most of that day, the President's diet consisted of liberal portions of humble pie. The President pleaded and cajoled; on at least two occasions his eyes welled with emotion as he pursued fence-sitting delegates and governors. However, Obasanjo saved his best to keep Vice President Atiku from defecting.
With rumor swirling that Atiku would opt to run with Ekwueme, Obasanjo wasted no time visiting the Vice President's residence. Obasanjo begged, declaring he would not leave Atiku's home unless the Vice President accompanied him to win back the delegates and governors. The performance had the desired effect. Atiku joined Obasanjo in publicly lobbying the conventioneers. While it might not have been Obasanjo's finest hour it was the defining moment of the convention. What had been a suspenseful contest would now turn into a rout.
VOsimhen144: Atiku and Tinubu are the same, make them no whine us.. even former president Obasanjo can never endorse this Atiku for Nigerians.

I will take my money to the bank of the man endorsed by both Obasanjo and Obi. QED!!!
anonimi: The Vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Peter Obi has advised Nigerians not to allow few politicians determine the future of the country but see themselves as stakeholders by being actively involved in the forthcoming general election.
Mr. Peter Obi stated this while addressing members of the Igbo Community in Benin on why Alhaji Atiku Abubakar should be elected as president.
Richtaiwo: Atiku’s only campaign point for 2027 presidential election is Tinubu. He still hasn't told Nigerian what he can do. What's the latest on Tinubu’s FBI records? Has he finally discovered Tinubu did not attend the university in Chicago?
Life can be hard for those who are struggling with their auditions and visions. May they find happiness and healing quickly.
Atiku’s vision as a successful businessman with consistent deregulation and privatisation policies laid out the foundation for PDP’s 16 years of prosperity, cheap petrol and less debt & tax burden. He is ready to redeem Nigeria from APC’s extreme poverty and insecurity shege curse.
"Tinubu made living in Nigeria expensive. I will make Nigeria affordable again" - Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
anonimi: ‘How Atiku saved Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president’‘
A new book has revealed how former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, saved ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president in 1999.
According to the new book, entitled ‘’Too Good to Die: Third Term and the Myth of the Indispensable Man in Africa,’ Atiku made all his resources available for Obasanjo’s presidential campaign.
The book, written by former chairman of National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, Chidi Odinkalu, and Ayisha Osori, author of ‘’Love Does Not Win Elections,” also revealed how Obasanjo beat late Alex Ekwueme to the presidential ticket of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 1999 election.
Quoting an account from Atiku, the authors said the trio of Ibrahim Babangida, Theophilus Danjuma and Abdulsalami Abubakar wanted PDP to adopt Obasanjo as their presidential candidate “because they considered him the best person for the job.”
“Implicit in their position was their belief that they knew how to manipulate Obasanjo and the fact that Obasanjo did their bidding in 1979. They felt secure that he could be managed again,” the authors wrote.
Atiku was reportedly asked to join a team to Ogun to inform Obasanjo that he was going to run for the highest office in the land.
“When Atiku and Obasanjo discussed the call to serve as president, Obasanjo said he could not be president because he was a nearly bankrupt ex-convict. Atiku, through General (Aliyu) Gusau, paid money into Obasanjo’s account to begin his financial rehabilitation.
“Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar helped out by granting him an unconditional pardon. Atiku put everything he had at his disposal to support Obasanjo’s emergence as the PDP presidential candidate and, when he joined the ticket as the vice-presidential nominee, continued to make his assets available to Obasanjo and the campaign.
anonimi: How Indorama sustains manufacturers, boosts Nigeria’s FX earnings
Indorama Eleme Petrochemicals Limited (IEPL) has emerged as a major value creator in the Nigerian economy. It is responsible for the survival, growth and sustenance of many manufacturing companies in Nigeria today. A large number of plastic and allied firms depend on the Eleme-based company for petrochemical resins (or polymer resins) which serve as their raw materials.
The petrochemical company is just one of the several subsidiaries of Indorama-Nigeria Group, which also comprises Indorama Eleme Fertilizer & Chemicals Limited (IEFCL), Indorama PET Nigeria Limited, and Indorama Port Operations.
Since Indorama Corporation of Indonesia became core investor in the old Eleme Petrochemicals Company Limited (EPCL) in 2006 through privatisation programme of the Federal Government, the group has become a game changer in the Nigerian economy.
The petrochemical company has solved the major challenge facing a number of manufacturers— poor access to raw materials. Rather than scramble for foreign exchange to import inputs, the company ensures that manufacturers have access to their critical raw materials, enabling them to save costs and improve margins.
The major resins used by plastic and allied companies are polyethylene and polypropylene. Indorama produces about 45 grades of these products for various industries. About 600 of such companies in Nigeria depend on IEPL for their survival. They are estimated to have over 90,000 workers.
WizardOfNG: Whatever. Keep worshipping the North. So what if they supported Tinubu? Was it not the least they could do after the SW helped Buhari become President after three futile efforts? Go and sit down bro. It is we in the SW who will show them Shege rather. Non of you are even aggrieved Atiku, showing disdain for you in the South, seriously attempted to replace Buhari in 2023 which may have made it a possible 16 years of Fulani rule for Nigeria.
Why did Tinubu sell out Yoruba people in 2011 for the HoR Speaker position? Are you sure that Jagaban of Borgu is not a northerner Tapa who was adopted from Oshodi like pharaoh’s daughter adopted Moses/ Musa?
What else could make Tinubu a serial betrayer of Yoruba people and other southerners
anonimi: How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals
AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.
Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.
The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.
In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.
He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.
AMINDA: Jonathan was president of Nigeria when Tinubu called him a drunk fisherman and Wole Soyinka called his wife a Shepopotamus. Atiku only called Bola by his name.
Are we even sure that Bola is the name given to him by his Mogaji mother, since it has no prefix nor suffix
WizardOfNG: Why will an imperialist born-to-rule Northern supremacist not believe he can address a Southern President as he wishes rather than as decorum dictates he should?
Afterall, Southerners are beneath them.
How does Atiku address Obasanjo?
Is Obasanjo a northerner? Is he a northerner because he said that Tinubu is the worst rogue politician? Or what else makes Obasanjo a northerner?
5 mind-boggling revelations from Obasanjo’s ‘My Watch’
5. Tinubu was one of the most corrupt, of the 36 governors
Obasanjo never got along too well with former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, and unsurprisingly, Tinubu got a mention in the former’s book.
Obasanjo revealed that then EFCC boss, Nuhu Ribadu tried to investigate almost all the state governors during his tenure but that of the 28 confirmed to be manifestly corrupt or tainted one way or the other, Tinubu’s case was one of the worst.
Lagos — ABIA State governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu and his Lagos State counterpart, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not escape justice but would be made to face the full wrath of the law following their recent indictment for alleged corruption by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Chairman of the commission Mallam Nuhu Ribadu who made the vow yesterday said the duo must account for their stewardship and may be thrown out of office.

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.’’

According to him: “The theme demands our collective attention and serves as a stark reminder of the need to create an environment where every worker feels safe, valued, and empowered to contribute to the growth and prosperity of our nation. As your President, I assure you that this administration is committed to creating such an environment for the common good.”
On the economic hardship, he noted that while it is a global phenomenon, its effects on Nigerians are particularly severe.
Tinubu said: “I am aware of the peculiarities of the economic hardship Nigerians face—rising living costs, hunger, insecurity, unemployment, and the loss of livelihoods. These challenges are real and demand definitive solutions, which I am poised to address as your President.
Nigeria loses 47% of dollar millionaires, retains 4th position in Africa
Nigeria has lost nearly half of its dollar millionaires over the past decade, with the population of high-net-worth individuals falling by 47 per cent between 2015 and 2025, according to the 2025 Africa Wealth Report by Henley & Partners in collaboration with New World Wealth.
Despite the sharp erosion in private wealth, Nigeria retained its position as Africa’s fourth-largest hub for dollar millionaires, with 7,200 millionaires, 20 centi-millionaires (individuals with investable wealth of at least $100 million) and three billionaires, trailing only South Africa, Egypt and Morocco.
The report showed that South Africa remained the continent’s wealthiest country by number of dollar millionaires, with 41,100 millionaires, 112 centi-millionaires and eight billionaires. Egypt followed with 14,800 millionaires, 49 centi-millionaires and seven billionaires.
Judolisco: oga you're still capping or playing politics with your views... How much is fuel in other countries.... You want Nigeria to be great but you don't want to pass through what great nations went through to be great.
How much is minimum wage in other countries compared to the total package of their president?
Do they have free education for all children in these other countries, in schools with adequate numbers of well paid professional teachers?
Do they drink water from shitty boreholes in the countries?
Ofemannnu: These are oppositions that wiuld rather take Nigeria back to when states owe 10,20,30 months salaries. High cost of living is global. Nigeria under Tinubu is doing better because senior citizens that are pensioners can go to any federal hospitals and get free medicals. If you have 100 children and you are poor,You can put them in any federal govt technical colleges.Tuition is free and food is free.To cap it all,your children will be given #22,500 every month and a whole lot more. President Tinubu is also building massive infrastructures all over Nigeria such that have never been built before by a President. No other previous govts have been able to do even a tiny bit of all these..
If balablu bulaba Tinubu is building infrastructure, then why do we have worse roads than when PDP gave us cheap petrol and less debt burden?
How can you explain this voodoo nonsense government?
LottiOk: 🎶weda U like or u no like. After U hear me speak u talk. Some dey like dey poof jeje, if some no like dey hang well well🎵............... Fela Anikulapo Kuti - Army Arrangement.

No one needs to demarket a man who is so inept and corrupt that his cluelessness is plain to see.
badoh: This Rufai seems to be burning energy seriously and I think he has an agenda he's pursuing. He's definitely positioning himself as a spokesperson in the govt of either Atiku or Obi if any of the two wins. My question is even if govt intends to bring back subsidy say like 600, it means he'll pay 700/ltr as subsidy, how is that sustainable? Also, did he factor that Nigeria's pms will be the cheapest and smuggling of petroleum products will ruin the plan as it will create artificial scarcity and queue at filling stations will start again. Don't you think the gains that have been recorded via the reforms introduced by Tinubu administration will be affected, the macro-economic stability will be affected, ratings from international agencies will be seriously eroded making Nigeria to go back to square one.
How was subsidy sustainable for PDP’s 16 years of cheap petrol, low tax & debt burden with widespread prosperity etc?
Why is Tinubu borrowing more now that he has billions of dollars in subsidies saving?
ElSudani: If subsidy was not removed by now Tinubu would have spent at least $36 billion on that nonsense. When he took over we had around $3 billion dollars only in foreign reserves no lender was willing to lend us money. Our oil already sold upfront! We should all be grateful for the courage of Tinubu to stop the madness. As for people who are asking for it to be returned a part of me secretly want them to succeed so they can experience real hunger and poverty. But I also know it's all a scam, if they win they will find every reason in the world not to return it.
How much has clueless and corrupt Tinubu burdened us with in debt
Judolisco: Rufai do u want subsidy or not... Fuel is expensive right now all over the world because of the isreal-Iran and United states war..... Should the government fold arms and watch people suffer.... Dem suppose dey slap mouth of people like rufai
Before the war started in February, why did Tinubu fail to crash petrol prices below N185 promised, despite paying subsidies illegally to importers of fuel from their Malta blending plants?
Do you know why Tinubu is not just incompetent, but also a greedy rogue?
9jatriot: I have a feeling that this subsidy plan that Atiku has been parading around for sometime now must have been because Atiku got wind of this plan. If anyone recalls, Atiku came out of the blue to suddenly start saying he will bring back the subsidy. Even after he did that, Amaechi, who had not yet been briefed, said something different; an ADC spokesperson also said something contrary to his statement. Amaechi has since been doubling down on it. What I think must have happened Atiku first heard about it, then later told Amaechi and co, then Kwankwaso and Obi heard about it, which is why they are all now singing subsidy,
You mean Tinubu’s N10 subsidy for consumption, on a price of N1,350?
Is this what you are comparing with Atiku’s detailed production subsidy plan?
Image123: So how much are you buying fuel now since you claim subsidy is back?
Subsidy is not back, since Tinubu is a clueless liar who announces things that he has not done, and is not going to do.
Happy now
Deltafirstson: Although the pump price of fuel was N197 when President Bola Tinubu took over on May 29, 2023, the product now sells for N617 per litre – less than two months after.
In his inaugural address, Tinubu announced that subsidy was gone, fulfilling a promise that all leading presidential candidates made during the campaign.
Nigerians have been lamenting the hardship occasioned by fuel price hike. Amid the lamentation, a video where Tinubu campaigned to slash the price of fuel went into circulation.
Checks by Daily Trust affirmed the authenticity of the video uploaded on the YouTube page of Channels Television.
At his campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State capital, on January 25, 2023, Tinubu spoke on a number of issues, but those of fuel scarcity and naira redesign made the headlines.
However, Tinubu who spoke in Yoruba language, also assured the crowd that though people were saying petrol price would hit N200, it would be reviewed downward under him.
“The great Nigerian youths, the great Nigerian students, the confident Nigerian youths. This is a revolution. This election is a revolution. They are plotting, but they will fail. They said fuel price will increase and reach N200 per litre. Go and relax, we will bring it down,” he had said in the 7th minute of the video.
rossipki: What's wrong with introducing a one-month discount? How is it "irresponsible" to ease the burden on the masses? The fuel subsidy is still in place and is going nowhere. You and Rufail should go and get a real job like real men, and stop disturbing people.
What is irresponsible is criticising Atiku’s production subsidy policy and then doing a balablu bulaba wicked stunt of it to scam people.
Do you understand how irresponsible Tinubu is? Or do you need further explanation

Is this how Tinubu’s gbajẹnsinmi petrol subsidy that he calls discount, is a wasted investment
By the way, are you one of those privileged APC supporters who are buying petrol less than N70?
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.

Chucks13: How can someone be more evil than a ex governor who spend 8 years in.power without building a single school, no single road, owed workers total of 18 months wages, used workers wages for personal use, stole $35m and laundered it to South America in his daughter account, lies so much at 66 years, filled with bitterness and bigotry, a failure, sacked non Anambra igbos from the civil service, credentials forger, looted ecological fund the list is endless. ...are these not the worst wickedness?
No.
None of these things compare with growing budgets 100 times to N4.2 trillion over 27 years and still have less than 5% schools owned by progressive governments.
Do you have records of Tinubu, Fashola, Ambode and Sanwo Olu employing 19,500 teachers in the last 27 years? This is the number employed by Makinde in just five years of having a tiny fraction of what Lagos has.
igwe4life: On its way to Jigawa State en route from Kano, the convoy of President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday ran into hundreds of protesting youths who hauled missiles at it in the ancient city.

Is that how Tinubu’s master plan for Lagos has changed it from grass to grace and from fire to frying pan despite squeezing out increased IGR from the people to grow the budget 100 times to N4.2 trillion?
Ordinary water, he has failed to deliver.
anonimi: Lagos, 3 other African cities rank among world’s least liveable in 2026
July 15, 2026
Four African cities have been ranked among the world’s 10 least liveable urban centres in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) Global Liveability Index 2026, reflecting the continued impact of insecurity, pressure on public services, infrastructure gaps and governance challenges.
The annual index assessed 173 cities across five indicators: stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education, and infrastructure. Each city received a score out of 100 based on how well it performs across these areas.
This year’s rankings placed Harare (Zimbabwe), Lagos (Nigeria), Algiers (Algeria) and Tripoli (Libya) in the global bottom 10, alongside cities affected by conflict, economic challenges and weak infrastructure.

The balablu bulaba clueless town hall clown is too dumb to talk about governance. He has nothing to offer there, which is why he delegated El Rufai and others to answer questions for him in London.
MartinCorridon: This FG is one of the worst in history. Check my post history. I am pro APC and pro Tinubu. Both have been massive failures. I was extremely critical of OBJ. But he's been the best since 1999. Governance has gotten progressively worse. I have NEVER earned in Naira. Buhari's calamitous rule made me really rich. But what of the majority, over 90% that were impoverished? I supported Buhari replacing GEJ in 2015 because GEJ was really clueless but after Buhari showed he was 1000% worse, the worst thing Nigerians did was not replacing him in 2019 with Atiku. This is not because I feel Atiku is a Messiah but we REALLY need to change since Buhari had confirmed himself as a failure. Global oil barrel prices will go up ... FG will say that's the reason fuel is expensive. Then it will go down and then they say since revenue e has reduced, thats why fuel is expensive.
It is this hope for a messiah that has led us down this past 66 years.
Jonathan was far better than Buhari, just as he was far better than Yar'Adua. Atiku is better than Buhari and Tinubu definitely, because his deregulation and privatisation policies was the spark that made the difference in Obasanjo and PDP administration's economic boom that saw Nigeria grow to be the biggest in Africa.
Heffalump: Mba should hide his pride and consult with his Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi that turned around the education sector in Anambra state during his tenure, from being a backward state in education to frontline state. A feat no one else can challenge in Nigeria, both past and present Governors. You can't hide the light, no matter how dubious you try. Obi is a winner all round.
Kindly share the number of teachers employed by Obi in his tenure, so we can see if he surpassed the 19,500 employed by Makinde.

Memory Lane: the first full-year Lagos State budget (Year 2000) in the 4th Republic was in the region of 40-something billion Naira. And it was described as “unprecedented” back then.
