zoedew: Two expired and corrupt politicians. Atiku and Jefferson issues in US. David Mark has nothing beneficial to the public good to show for all his years in politics. Am no fan of Tinubu either and wish we had an alternative to him in 2027 but not folks who flock with Babchir Lawal the Grasscutter SGF!
How come incorruptible city boy is borrowing more than when your two expired and corrupt politicians’ party gave us widespread prosperity, cheap petrol and less insecurity for 16 years
May Day: Hunger, unemployment, insecurity real— Tinubu
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.
Lanretoye: See his mouth like structure of criminality.
aregbeshola ,ameachi,malami,elrufai,David mark and the rest are not past crooks?…be like them no tight some screws for your head before spanner lost sir.
You are talking about yourself since you’re as clueless as city boy, with your failure to understand what GREATER means.
Image123: The chief structure of criminality, bighotree and fascism himself.
This title belongs to no one else but city boy.
NwaIdeato: I didn't have to listen to his begrudging speech against Buhari in his address to the APC members in Ogun state, but those words " Yoruba Lokan" did I punctuate and highlight from Tinubu's ramblings..
it's the entitlement of this geriatric narcissist that sickens me to my bones...so it's only his personal and ethnic agenda that matters to him? Other Nigerians out of a 200 million population don't count? honestly Tinubu has buried his presidential chances with those dangerous words alone, the Fulani people he has been tapdancing to have also taken note of this statement....basically what's the difference between Buhari and Tinubu? one is an unrepentant Fulani supremacist while the other is a very dangerous Yoruba supremacist, and trust me Tinubu will be MORE dangerous than Buhari if he ever gets into Aso rock.
Lanretoye: See his mouth like structure of criminality.
What structure of criminality is greater than that of Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Crooks, APC
chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.
Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.
Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.
The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.
The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.
Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.
The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.
But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.
During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).
The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.
Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.
Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:
“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.
“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”
Mrsoft3: If your go to person is very dark man in terms of fighting for your right I truly believe you are lost.
The country is a failed state when a mannerless individual becomes the go to person for human right activity.
I dont hate very dark man, he is a strong man for what he is doing. I serious condemn when people dont have respect and manners of approach in their doings.
You might not understand this, but we have seen alot of activists and we have seen what they truly stand for, their sacrifices has never gone unnoticed. But as youths our duty is to demand from our leaders what belongs to us and not put our hope in an individual just like me and you.
We have the power to choose, we have the power to ensure the right people are in the right places, when we gail to do our due diligence the price we pay is looking up to someone like VDM.
I just pray we get it right eventually.
Since when did prayer and faith without works stop being dead
Btruth: Such a beautiful city before had now turned to a city of horror 😢.
God will never forgive those who smuggled or invited bandits, terrorists and others into this country. The blood of the innocents will forever be on their head. 😭
Do you mean city boy and his fellow APC demons who did that in 2015 to chase out a southern president and end 16 years of PDP prosperity, driven by deregulation and privatisation policies
MikoB: Atiku greediness destroyed him, in life not every opportunity is for you to grab, there are some opportunities that look good outwardly, but are destructive, pdp had the opportunity of producing the next nigeria president especially with the failure of buhari's govt,
Atiku should had influenced the pdp in chosen a marketable southerner and match the person with a popular northerner and by also making sure there is no division in the party, it would have been a foregone story by now because pdp would have won easily....
Are you sure you knew what you were talking about here
anonimi: Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant
Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT
Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.
Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.
The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.
The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.
The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.
Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.
2023: PDP and politics of healing Wike’s self-inflicted injury
Then, the race began in earnest for three years now, reaching a frenzy with the works of the two PDP committees on zoning. The first was the Gov Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi committee on the zoning of the PDP party offices. The Ugwuanyi committee quickly told the world the committee’s assignment did not cover zoning the office of the president. Though this was true, the question is: why didn’t the Ugwuanyi committee zone the PDP chairmanship to the North without aligning it to the divide that would produce the PDP presidential flag-bearer? The second committee headed by Gov Samuel Ortom of Benue state was specifically on the zoning of the presidential ticket and, with the votes of the representatives of all the 17 Southern states without any exception, the Committee unanimously recommended throwing open the PDP presidential ticket, which the PDP NEC simply upheld.
One thing irrefutably stands out – Wike shot himself in the leg. Here was a man who had an overarching influence on both committees but could not insist that the ticket be zoned South. Many had wondered why? The reason is also relatively in plain sight: the Southeast factor. As the clamour for zoning of the presidential ticket of the PDP to South reached its crescendo, many had pointed out the fact that though the PDP Constitution had prescribed zoning of the office of the president to be between North and South since the South-west and South-south had taken their turns in producing the president and the vice in this current dispensation in the persons of Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan, zoning this time around, should not just be to the South but the Southeast.
Atiku Abubakar went a step further by offering to step down from the race if it would be agreed that the touted zoning to the South would mean micro-zoning to the Southeast. Wike and the rest could not take the Atiku challenge maybe because Atiku would likely back Peter Obi, who was his vice-presidential running mate in 2019 and an ally. The prospects of Peter Obi picking the ticket if PDP zoned South was so real compelling Wike to go for an open contest, believing he could pick it up ahead of Atiku, Tambuwal and Bala Mohammed, given his large war chest.
ddippset: Says a man who hijacked the party and singlehandedly produced the last 4 National Chairmen of the party for his own selfishness.
Says a man who accepted nomination to be running mate to Fulani Atiku. He knew it was injustice to give Atiku the ticket yet he lobbied to be the VP.
He knew the party had to go South for the 2023 election, yet he still put Secondus as National Chaiman just to hijack the party.. Only to push Secondus out because he wanted the ticket 2023.
This man remains the biggest problem of PDP.
He can only deceive and fool his minions, not reasonable people.
WizardOfNG: You sure Wike is the "Ologogoro" and not the author of this post I quoted? Lol.
Can you share evidence of the author bragging about being a drunkard
jaybenugo: River state governor, Nyesom Wike, said he was drinking a 40-year-old whiskey when the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar led protesters to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) headquarters in protest, IGBERETV reports.
The national chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu and Atiku Abubakar led other leaders of the party to protest alleged irregularities that marred the conduct of the presidential election. The party had asked that results collated from the exercise be cancelled and elections be redone in areas that had problems.
Speaking at an event, Wike mocked his party members referring to them as a “students’ union” chanting “aluta continua”. He said;
“What is in us is greater than what is in them,” the governor said in a mix of English and pidgin.
“As they were protesting, I just sat down and I took one 40-year-old whiskey. I called some of my friends ‘o boy, sit down. Make una sit down open 40 years.
OredoPikin2: My Edo or another Edo? Jokers Make ADC just give Obi ticket Wetin una see for 2023 na child's play. Same Edo that has started tinubu must go protest already Is like you are not following news🤣🤣🤣
Why should anyone or any party give him ticket instead of fighting for it?
Why do you want to set him up for another Tinubu covert agent to lure him into helping Tinubu continue APC extreme poverty shege and insecurity for another four years
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.
WizardOfNG: Edo Local champion-noisemaking you are engaging in is naive. Nothing for Obi in 2027. I suspect you know this and this is why you are even pleading ADC give him the ticket.
For where? Obi don lule as far as ADC ticket is concerned. That is the birthright of Atiku, Obi's boss and "elder brother". Let us see if Obi will beg to deputise Atiku soon. Lol.
The way ologogoro, FCT land grabber Wike begged after his oversabi loss

Peter Obi called Atiku structure of criminality in 2023 only for the same Obi to run back to same Atiku in 2026 Tell us what has changed?
What changed is your capacity to tell propaganda lies, if you don’t provide evidence of obi calling his 2019 presidential candidate a structure of criminality.
Meanwhile, we know what changed in the political mercenary who is currently in Aso Rock from 2011 to 2015. Abi you don’t know what changed with city boy in that period
Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”
Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.
The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.
“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”
Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”
Richtaiwo: It is rather unfortunate that you are only now realising that the Agulu messiah is a habitual liar, carefully presented to mislead the headless mobs.
All this while, you dismissed widespread criticism as falsehood, despite consistent concerns about his credibility and intentions by Nigerians. How can someone who struggles to point to any significant achievement after eight years as a governor claim he will rescue the nation as president and believed him? Nigerians are right by voting against him. As Bob Marley once said, some people may be wrong at times, but it is unlikely that everyone is wrong all the time.
Who is a more habitual liar than the city boy who fought for and grabbed power to run cluelessly with it like a headless pig 🐖?
chopnaira: Peter Obi lied to me. I started insult!ng Tinubu and supporting Peter Obi. Now Peter Obi has joined the same Atiku, who they once said was b@d.”
- Apostle Kassy Chukwu tells his church members.
If the apostle is not a liar, then he should say when Obi told us that Atiku is bad?
The Atiku that brought Obi to national attention in 2019, five years after his Obiano protégé refused his godfather moves and eased him out of APGA?
mascot87: All parties buy votes including Peter Obi and Atiku so rest Mr Man. Hope the money paid to Obidients during the election are still there too.
Is there any worse politician who brags about buying votes, to fight for and grab power before running cluelessly with it like a headless pig 🐖?
NaijaRoyalty: …Says Buhari doesn’t have my kind of money
However, Buhari doesn’t have the kind of money I can steal neither does he have the money I can collect. He doesn’t even have the money for Lagos votes. So, whatever I promise, it’s for real and is coming from my pocket. It’s not until I go to Alausa before I get money to give you.”
Addressing APC supporters on the need to deliver votes, Tinubu said handsome cash rewards await those who can deliver votes for the party.
He said he would not make mistakes of the past where people would collect money in advance and not deliver on election day.
Tinubu added, “Those of you that say you come to Bourdillon for mobilisation, it is mobilisation that we are doing here or don’t you understand? Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, our members, how we used to do.
atobs4real: They should just close down the state and the governor should exit
Was that how Tinubu suggested that Borno should be closed down for Shettima to exit when APC was playing politics with our lives in order to make their 2011 expired Buhari look like a messiah
montestic: A national leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and former Lagos State Governor, Senator Bola Tinubu has renewed his verbal attacks at President Goodluck Jonathan, describing his administration as a failure.
According to the APC chieftain, the President’s incessant excuses to Nigerians is testament to his inability to continue to preside over the affairs of the nation and urged him to resign.
Tinubu made the remarks on Friday, in Benin City, while commissioning the new six lane New Lagos Road and the Ewohimi Hospital in Esan South East of Edo State.
He said: “A nation fails because of the leadership failures, if there is a good leader at the top, a nation will not fail. Because the fish start getting rotten from the head. The poverty, insecurity, unemployment which we are witnessing today in this country is because the head has failed.
“Let them stop giving us excuses that Boko Haram is in my government, fish them out. That we have saboteurs in the military, you are admitting failure. No excuse of failure, Mr President we chose you to lead this country, resign if you cannot enough of the excuses”.
Tinubu, who described Governor Adams Oshiomhole as a man of honour and one capable of leading Nigeria, pointed out that the governor’s developmental strides in Edo state is an indication that the APC has a reservoir of credible people capable of becoming president.
“Many people like you would have fell into the temptation of naira and kobo. But you stood for the progress of Edo state. We share in common the determination to make progress, you had the opportunity to be in labour party, you had that option clearly, but you chose to be with the progressives that you know”, Tinubu added.
Lexicon123: Exactly! One of the best states to live in Nigeria some years ago.
This is why the country needs to be more proactive in its handling of insecurity, not the usual “we condemn…” like iron-condemn scavengers!
What else can a clueless city boy do apart from simply condemning insecurity so he doesn’t lose sight of his reelection
Maxymilliano: The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has explained why he delegated some members of the party to respond to questions posed to him. According to the former Lagos Governor, he adopted the delegation method “to show team-ship”.
Tinubu spoke at the Chatham House lecture titled: ‘Nigeria’s 2023 elections: In conversation with Bola Ahmed Tinubu’, monitored by The Nation.
At the lecture, Tinubu after his opening remarks, assigned Kaduna Governor Nasir El-Rufai to speak on how his (Tinubu-led) government would address insecurity and asked the Director of Strategic Communication of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Aleke, to respond to the question on oil theft.
Willy2025: This is getting serious about this time of the year. Jos North has always been a hot bed of violence between the Plateau indigenous people and the Hausa/Fulanis. This is a sponsored violence just when everything is getting set for the 2nd term victory of PBAT. The President should not hesitate to deploy the military might to put an end to all these orgy of violence. I know that food is done P.Obi and his 2k online data boys. They surely capitalise on this.
Was this how the BAT 🦇 sponsored violence in 2015, just when everything was getting set for the continuity of PDP’s 16 years of widespread prosperity
Kaczynski: There are lotta cheap apartments some places, she just want to live in one where the water is being pumped and rent for cheap. She should go and move in back with her parents if she can't afford house rent.
Is rent cheap in Lekki, where people are drinking shitty water, even though city boy’s master plan has raised tax burden, IGR and budget 100 times to N4.2 trillion over the past 27 years
davidotokiblog1: but this isn’t just about a private individual it’s about broader economic conditions and the role of government in creating a stable environment for businesses and citizens.
People can invest their money, but when issues affect many citizens at once, it becomes a public concern. We can hold both individuals and government accountable where necessary without attacking each other.
How is this different from the post that you replied
That was back when All Promises Cancelled, APC told us that petrol should NEVER go above N70.
The only thing that has changed since 2015 with A-looter Propaganda Congress, APC is the change of all their promises.
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.
jahsharon: If the North likes, it can continue reducing its population. The Chief of Army Staff is from the Middle Belt, the Minister of Defence is also a recently retired Major General and a Christian from Southern Kaduna, if they cannot stop the bandits, then let them continue killing themselves. Tinubu will not carry juju and hunters guns to go and fight battles
Why did Tinubu not have the same attitude 11 years ago when he led other southerners to align with Fulani’s in switching PDP widespread prosperity to APC extreme poverty shege
EkoIle1: It is now abundantly clear that President Jonathan has finally bared his fangs confirming what was widely speculated. By declaring a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa, he has intimidated and emasculated the governors of these States. We are witnessing a dangerous trend in the art of governance and a deliberate ploy to subvert constitutional democracy.
The body language of the Jonathan administration leads any keen watcher of events with unmistakable conclusion of the existence of a surreptitious but barely disguised intention to muzzle the elected governments of these states for what is clearly a display of unpardonable mediocrity and diabolic partisanship geared towards 2015.
Borno and Yobe states have been literally under armies of occupation with the attendant excruciating hardship experienced daily by the indigenes and residents of these areas. This government now wants to use the excuse of the security challenges faced by the Governors to remove them from the states considered hostile to the 2015 PDP/Jonathan project.
Let me be quick to say that this administration will be setting in motion a chain of events the end of which nobody can predict. Experience has shown clearly that actions, such as this one under consideration, often give root to radical ideologies and extremist tendencies, a direct opposite of the intended outcome of unwarranted and unintelligent meddlesomeness. The present scenario playing out in the country reminds one of the classical case of a mediocre craftsman who continually blames the tools of his trade for his serial failure but refuses to look at his pitiable state with a view to adjusting.
It has become crystal clear, even to the most incurable optimist, that the country is adrift. That the ship of the Nigerian state is rudderless is clearly evident in the consistent and continual attacks ferociously executed by elements often referred to as the insurgents in some northern states of the federation, particularly Borno and Yobe states respectively.
Indeed, no part of the country is immune from the virulent but easy attacks, veritable indices of a failing state. Unfortunately, the tenuous and uncoordinated approach adopted by this government betrays a grossly incompetent disposition which stands at variance with current realities in the country, nay the international community where acts of terrorism are engaged and contained. No Governor of a state in Nigeria is the Chief Security Officer. Putting the blame on the Governors, who have been effectively emasculated, for the abysmal performance of the government at the centre which controls all these security agencies, smacks of ignorance and mischief.
Terrorist acts are perpetrated routinely and the government at the centre appears incapable of stemming the tide of the horrendous crimes unleashed on the hapless populace. The considerable ease, with which lives and property are destroyed on a daily basis, should excite deep introspection on the part of a government truly desirous of finding a lasting solution.
newnigerdelta1: Hope you are prepared as well because you will buy Petro for 5000 per liter....
There is no need to prepare for N5,000 petrol.
We should calm down and fokan bale for magic maker, city boy, Lagos master planner to crash petrol price as promised before he fought for and grabbed power, to run cluelessly with it like a headless pig.
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.
How come we are the 2nd highest hike in pms in the world
Do you think that is because we have the worst rogue as president, who uses balablu propaganda lies to cover his cluelessness in governance?
Should we not be following the example of oil-less Namibia to use the oil price hike windfall to crash petrol price below N197 it was in January 2023 when Tinubu promised to do that in Abeokuta
Lithiumite: I thought tinubu ordered the withdrawal of the police from vip protection duties,isn’t this a direct confirmation that the president was only bluffing......this is really sad.
It's really sad that you are just realising that your city boy has always been a balablu bluffer who is absolutely clueless about governance.
Nchoje34: Even in hotel we are no longer safe again I am still wondering what Tinubu will use to campaign next coming months
He will use Yorubalokan, Fulani hatred and southern zoning rotation with a little dash of stomach infrastructure to the 10% of our population that bothers to vote and determine everything about us.
anonimi: “The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.
He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.
The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”
