nicedayontop: I lost my respect for Bala Mohammed during Buhari govt when he publicly asserted that herdsmen are free to carry AK47 around.
So, I am not doubting this allegation of financing terrorism against him. He was one of the spokespersons of the killer herdsmen during Buhari govt.
How much respect do you have for Tinubu who never said anything about the killing of Deborah in Sokoto for alleged blasphemy

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.
Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.
Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....
However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.
Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

chisomkachy: The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.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.”

saintopus: My mind tells me Tinubu, if he continues in his reform, Nigeria may experience an unprecedented boom 💥 that we have never seen in Nigeria in a long time.
We can do it.
It’s now 27 years since Tinubu has been posting 20 million Lagosians in the same way to keep them in bondage to his TAX monster plan.
What good life have Lagosians seen in those years?
What unprecedented boom in government services and public utilities has occurred since 1999 to reflect the 100 times increase in IGR and budget from greater tax burden on Lagos people?
If he is stealing all the money to bribe politicians and buy votes from deliberately impoverished and badly educated people, to retain power then why do you think he will change his winning strategy in Abuja
How much of what he and All Promises Cancelled, APC pledged to do in the last decade have been fulfilled?
If they have failed to fulfill their past pledges, then why should any reasonable Nigerian believe their new ofege lines
Instead of making things better for us like we were promised, APC and Tinubu have made everything worse. Everything. Worse.
Nemere2020: The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Chief Olawale Edun has said the last time Nigeria’s economy looked stable was about a decade ago.
He made this statement during his maiden press conference as Minister of Finance where he outlined President Bola Tinubu’s vision, agenda and strategy for the economy.
He said, “I think as we all know, we are not where we should be. The economy is barely growing above the rate of population growth.
“But it was not always so, and I think in trying to look at the way forward, if we now have a situation of slow growth, double-digit inflation, weak/depreciating exchange rate, as well as security concerns that are resulting in an economy that is not growing and not taking Nigerians out of poverty.
“If we think back to the last time when the economy was stable- when it was growing, when inflation was low, and the interest rate was affordable, that period was about a decade ago. Growth was about 6% in 2013 and 2014.”

Did one northern governor share wheelbarrows to people?
When we learn to begin our charity from home, then we will start the journey of redemption from debilitating tribesmen zoning and rotation to avoid marginalisation in sharing the national cake, which is mostly baked in the scorched earth Niger Delta.
edet19892015: Unless you understand your role in society, you can never make any meaningful contribution.
According to the Greeks, they are three types of people on Earth, 1. The idiots, 2. The tribesmen, and 3. The citizens.
Studies show only 10% of Africans are citizens. The remaining 90% are either tribesmen or idiots.
1. When the Greeks used the word "Idiot", they did not use it as a curse word. Idiots are people who just don’t care. If they sit for exams, they will cheat. If they are in government they will steal.
An idiot does not care at all, if he eats bananas he throws the peels anywhere instead of putting them in a trash bin.
IDIOTS won't attend monthly neighborhood meetings. They won't pay security dues. They won't contribute to community development. Even when they see or know about something that will harm others in the community they won't report it. When they see/know/have something that will benefit their community they won't share.
In fact, Idiots don't care to register for or vote in an election, yet they complain the most. If they register to vote, IDIOTS will sell their votes for peanuts.
According to the Greeks, some societies have more idiots than tribesmen and citizens.
2. The next set of people are "Tribesmen", these are people that look at everything from the point of view of their tribe.
These are people that believe in you only if you are part of their tribe. It can be terrible to have a tribesman as a leader, he will alienate the rest.
When the Greeks talk about tribes, it’s not just about ethnicity, they also consider religion, gang membership, group membership, party membership and even cult membership as a tribe.
A great percentage of Africans are tribesmen, because they view everything from the point of view of their tribes. They trust only their tribesmen
3. The last group are "Citizens". These are people who like to do things the right way. They will respect traffic light rules even if no one is watching them.
They drive within speed limits. They respect the laws, and won’t cheat in exams. In government, they won’t steal. They are compassionate and give to others to promote their well-being.
Citizens often promote projects that benefit everyone. The Greeks called this group "The Citizens".
Some countries have more citizens than tribesmen and idiots, others have so many idiots.
A tribesman can become a citizen through orientation. And an idiot can become a citizen by training and constant enforcement of the law.
But things fall apart if you elect an idiot or tribesman to lead you if he has not been reformed.
Where do you belong? Are you an idiot, a tribesman or a citizen? Reflect on your life. Reflect about your immediate community, city, state and nation.
olaiya2007: 2026 shall favor me and my family amen
How much has Tinubu favoured those who prayed like this, with petrol rising to almost N1,000 instead of the crash promised by him, just like APC has been promising Nigerians since before 2015
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.
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.
FORMER Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Prof. Tamunoemi David-West, said that Nigerians should expect sharp drop in petrol price from the current N87 to about N40 per litre, saying, “the president-elect, Gen. Mohammed Buhari, will reduce the fuel pump price to N40 per litre.”
Since we got independence 65 years ago, how much of this type of prayer have we prayed?
Why has the prayer failed to make our country like Singapore that broke free from Malaysia five years after our own independence? Or like Qatar and UAE that got independence from Britain 11 years after us and one year after the Biafra war ended?
When did South Korea end its war with their North Korea neighbours? When did China abandon unhelpful communism to embrace deregulation and privatisation capitalism that led them to awesome economic success for widespread prosperity and peace?
Do you think that the people of these five countries pray more than Nigerians? Or what else is the secret of their recent development success
anonimi: Neo-black Problem: Must Blacks Be Ruled by Whites in Order to Prosper?
In short, the neo-black dilemma may be framed as follows: is it better to live under white rule without political dignity but with basic life-sustaining standards for many;
or to live under black rule with illusory political dignity and without basic life- sustaining standards for the majority? @ @ The path forward for Africa lies in cultivating higher and adequate levels of personal and communal agential integrity as well as full personal responsibility and productivity. Not to mention creativity (including epistemic creativity), productive justice (such as merit and freedom), harmony and reconciliation at local and international levels, and a proper domestication of capitalism and other related values and institutions.
Africa must stop wasting her time on dreams of socialism because it is a system of wealth distribution primarily. Whereas, capitalism is a system of wealth creation primarily, and wealth has to be produced before it can be distributed.
DeltaBachelor: Chai. God please save us from these people and their “Renewed Shege “ .
I hope they are not trying to dish out Shege Banza or Shege Pro Max this year ?
How will God save us from these people if we don’t work together to reduce our tribesmen zoning and rotation mechanisms to choose political office holders in local, state and federal governments, both in the legislative and executive branches?
What happens to faith WITHOUT works is dead maxim? Are you trying to mock God and make Him a liar, which is what we allow our politicians to be

Why should we wait for the never happening renewed hope of All Promises Cancelled, APC leaders looters when we can work for the return of Prosperity and Development Party, PDP?
PDP’s deregulation and privatisation capitalism policies gave us 16 years of high employment productivity before we allowed Tinubu to replace them with Buhari in 2015, which was four years after calling him expired!!!
Does this waist focused senate president want us to have renewed hope of looking for where to eat free food and die in stampedes, because Tinubu is clueless about creating jobs for earning a living in dignity

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.
thesicilian: It is not my business whether you're a "Tinubu supporter" or not, I'm not interested in your political affiliations. There's hardly any major city on earth where minimum wage earners can afford to rent a 1 bedroom apartment without having to save part of their income for many months. That's assuming you want a comfortable 1 bedroom apartment, with it's own toilet, kitchen and bathroom at least.
But a minimum wage earner in Lagos should be looking for a single room, not comfort. There are many very standard single rooms you can get for between 10k - 20k per month, depending on your taste. Again, I don't think there's any major city on earth where a minimum wage earner lives in comfort.
Is that how things work out for Sicilians in Italy such that Nigerians are selling their family properties to pay traffickers for a risky move through the desert and the Mediterranean Sea to get to Italy and other western countries?
Why do we rationalise our suffering due to the looting of our commonwealth by wicked leaders? To gain what? To be confirmed as Stockholm Syndrome patients
anonimi: The migrant crisis in Libya and the Nigeria experience
The drive for survival and for greener pastures has continued to force millions of West African young men and women to gamble with death in attempts to cross over to Europe and other parts of the world. This quest to escape poverty, hunger, unemployment and insecurity, among other reasons, caused a major segment of Nigeria’s population to seek alternatives for better livelihood prospects for themselves and their families.
Those seeking economic survival see irregular migration as the best alternative, given the difficulty and resources involved in migrating through regular and legitimate routes. In many instances, very few of the original number who set out on these dangerous journeys live to tell their stories. While many regularly drown in the Mediterranean Sea, many also die in the deserts, and others are sold as slaves in a modern slave market.
Most of the victims of this trade are from West Africa. Many of them leave home with expectations of getting to Europe and other destinations perceived to have better economic prospects for them, but they end up in the slave merchant nets in North Africa. The victims are put in camps and sold in open markets in Libya, while the international community watches in silence. The geographical location of Libya renders it a transit route for migrants journeying to Italy and many other parts of Europe.
YourGFsnatcher: This is not about politics. If you are from middle belt you will know Obi has just lost a great amount of support because of EL-Rufai. As at now, the only thing that concerns middle belters is security...and we know who our enemies are... EL Rufai is number one. ADC is dead on arrival.
I like Obi, but he just made a political suicide aligning with these monsters. Good luck to him, but we will never vote any party with EL rufai or Atiku in it
What do you know about El Rufai that Tinubu is unaware of, since he was his Chatham House resource person for answering questions on insecurity
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.
Atiku believes in ranching, deserves our votes – Ortom
Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom has disclosed that the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is a sincere advocate of ranching as solution to the lingering herders crisis in the country.
The Governor who spoke Thursday at his reelection campaign rally in Katsina/Ala also stated that the former Vice President was not a religious fundamentalist.
He reiterated his appeal to the electorate in the state to vote massively for Atiku who was on the same page with the people of the state and all PDP candidates in the forthcoming election.
He observed that while President Muhammadu Buhari was canvassing for the opening up of cattle routes which would impact negatively on the land of the people of the state if implemented, Alhaji Atiku had been establishing ranches for his cattle and even proceeded to build feed-mills.
He said, “ranching is critical to the survival of our state because it remains the best solution to the incessant crises between farmers and herders with monumental loss of human lives and property over the years hence we must vote against those who opposed it.
just2endowed: H People have been saying tinubu is wicked but to me an average Nigeria on the street is full of greed and wickedness. Imagine bus driver and agbero are not reducing transport fair despite reduction in fuel prices?
The massez are not enjoying any fuel reduction.
Check air transport, tickets sold as high as 500k.
Omo, Transportation cost is now hell. May God help us in 2026. We can blame the government for not providing public transport system in many part of Lagos but the wickedness of an average Nigeria is mild blowing.
If the average Nigerian is wicked, how is it an excuse for leaders looters like Tinubu to be wicked also?
Do leaders offer themselves to SERVE the people by promising to be as wicked as your average Nigerian? Or do they promise to be EXEMPLARY leaders?
What is the point of paying taxes to them and allowing taxes to be collected from corporations on our behalf, if they are not held to a HIGHER standard of behaviour than us?
Why do you think that the UK had five PMs in just six years if they were not held to a higher standard than the ordinary people of Britain
thesicilian: No one can save 100% of their salary unless you account for other sources of income. Even a hypothetical situation needs to be realistic for it to be taken seriously.
This is a simplifying assumption that makes the idea easy to understand.
kpakpakpa: South east is for ADC if obi is on the ballot.
It's a wise move
Obi doesn’t have to be on the ballot for the south east to be for ADC since Oshiomhole’s Assembly of Past Criminals, APC is not an option seeing as they have treated the five states with the worst kind of discrimination.
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.”
You have to first understand what a word means before you can use it very well.
Do you know what failure means?
Otherwise you would be using the word for the Lagos TAX monster planner, who steals money for employing teachers and workers to make education free for all children and water available for all residents.
NaijaRoyalty: Tinubu will lose sleep today . Infact, he will not touch his wife, remi, in weeks to come because of the gathering of this political gladiators under one party, The ADC
The same gladiators that helped tinubu win in 2023 have left him for Peter Obi because of Tinubu many failures .
We move...
Who are these same gladiators that helped Tinubu win in 2023?
Jayhome24: Call efcc pls and provide your evidence.
EFCC is useless in the state capture system under Oshiomole's Assembly of Past Criminals, APC where sins are forgiven for everyone who remains loyal to the Ogas at the top.
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:

kpakpakpa: Stop shifting the goal post sir, you said Tinubu looted Lagos state dry with heavy tax, the I ask you which state is better than Lagos presently? Now you are saying another thing.
Stay one place so as not to confuse the thunder
Is this the address your thunder is headed, to destroy the looters of Lagos commonwealth for 26 years, who have now upgraded to looting Nigeria's commonwealth
anonimi: The eyesore on Bourdillon Road 2nd January 2025
Beyond his neighbours, there is something about the sight of people hanging around a president’s residence that does not speak well of his leadership capabilities. Maybe no one has nudged him to see it, but the impression that spectacle on Bourdillon Road generates is that Tinubu enjoys the sight of suffering humans and thrives in—and through— their poverty.
If all these years, impoverished people hang around you and you remain comfortable enough to keep them just so they can be handed tokens of your large heart, then it means you have a pro-poverty mindset. Such a frame of mind is oriented toward cultivating poverty rather than stimulating abundance.
That is why he could unproblematically relate the story of his “friend” who went from using five Rolls Royce to a far-less valued car and not consider the import of the nonsense he was saying. That spurious account was an indication that this is a man for whom poverty—of others, not himself—is an ideal.
Richtaiwo: In his speech, Pitobi was declaring war again, apparently the only campaign strategy he knows, just as he once did in that now-infamous “yes daddy” leaked phone conversation, where he generously managed to offend Muslims and common sense in one breath.
Given his remarkable talent for taking counsel from a certified madman and landing face-first every single time, one wonders what exactly prevents him from seeking advice elsewhere. Surely, the world is not so short of sane people that he must keep recycling the same disastrous consultant.
At the very least, someone might have whispered the elementary truth to him, and to his equally excitable followers, that politics is governed by logic, persuasion, and reason, not war cries and emotional tantrums. The electorate, inconveniently for them, are human beings, not barbarians waiting for battle drums.
But then again, expecting clarity from Pitobi may itself be an act of wild optimism.
kpakpakpa: Tax monster? How much is your income that you are complaining of tax? To me that tax law is good for the poor.
And which state is better than Lagos in the whole of Nigeria? This opposition you guys are doing is same as the laptop boys on this forum. You don't have direction anymore
The whole Nigeria that is the extreme poverty capital of the world with the highest number of children out of school, due to the lootocracy template of progreThieves like Tinubu
Why compare with others when you have a rich progressive heritage to benchmark with? Nigbati oruko re o ki n se Olanreyin?
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.”

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.
