The truth is that ebilokan lied to us about his 2011 expired looter being a change messiah when he was nothing but a clumsy shege master.
Emergingnation: Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party
National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.
During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.
He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.
His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.
“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.
“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.
“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.
Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.
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.
Oakenshield: it will be hard to defeat PDP in Akwa Ibom because Akpabio rigged his way to be SP. Umo Eno is no big name in Akwa Ibom just been a governor. His defection na to cover for that short criminal Udom.
Even crossriver is a core PDP state but because PDP had two useless aspirants,we instead preferred Otu and not APC
Like Okowa, like Akpabio, like Udom.
Lily-livered looters who allowed themselves to be intimidated into joining Oshiomhole’s Association of Past Crooks, APC.
Nehyooh: What I admire about the Chinese is that; they go for knowledge in a developed countries, and then return back to their own country to implement and use what they have learnt to improve their nation.
But my Naija people no dey look back , I no blame them sha, corruption don spoil our nation. All man for himself 😅
Who has allowed corruption to spoil our nation if not 200 million of us, who therefore must WORK to fix it
badoh: I see Atiku loosing again in 2027 after several attempts. Sometimes, patience pays by looking at the bigger picture ahead of you. If Atiku had supported Jonathan in 2015 for reelection, he could have been president today, however he miscalculated thinking situation at that time will swing in his favour and now paying the price of impatience.
What came out of his support for Obasanjo’s second term in 2003, when he refused pressure from the north to run against his boss?
Was 2003 not the first time that Buhari asked for the job of president and failed

psalmsjob: What's this clueless talk from a clueless man.... Of course when you're clueless as a president the national assembly will veto bills.
The fact that the national assembly is not "fighting" the executive under Tinubu administration is because Tinubu is a good leader.
Ebilokan is truly a good leader looter who has done what he promised, to make life better for all of us.
So who is clueless 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.
However, pump price of fuel hit N537 per litre days after Tinubu ended subsidy.
On Tuesday, the price climbed further to N617, a development that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) attributed to “market forces”.
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.
King Wasiu Ayinde Marshall, a Fuji musician who performed at the rally, interrupted the president’s speech with chants as the crowd cheered.
On the campaign podium with the president were Vice-President Kashim Shettima; Pa Bisi Akande, interim National Chairman of the APC; Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to the President; Senator Gbenga Daniel; among other bigwigs of the ruling party.
Tinubu went further to say Nigerians would defy the acute fuel scarcity at the time and trek to cast their votes.
“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/N500 per litre. Go and relax, we will crash the prices,” he had said.
SoftSport: Jonathan's time was good, but Tinubu's Assembly is doing better now, actions speak louder than words, and they’re really trying to fix the economy and help the people.
Actions indeed speak louder than words.
Ebilokan is doing well.
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.
PresidObi: Nobody has paraded someone with a bullion van on his head.
Failed society.
Indeed we are all failed citizens of our country, since nobody has paraded any of the 150 governors who failed to employ technicians, engineers, clerks etc to provide ordinary water in all buildings.
PigTormentor: Like Trump who became president after 34 felony convictions. Yeah we don hear.
Is that why Amercians are equally flooding Nigeria to japa here and work on making our own country better than their America
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.
bcomputer101: Hmm... Nigeria under Tinubu is a colossal disaster
APC is high on promises but low on delivery, more like nonexistent on delivery actually.
Fashola to Nigerians: 'If You Want to Have Stable Electricity Supply, Vote PDP Out in 2015'
Jul 11, 2014.
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, while marking his 2,600 days in office at an elaborate ceremony held at the Blue Roof of the Lagos Television premises, has said voting out the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) from power in next year’s general election is the only way the country can have stable electricity.
According to The Nation, Fashola said electricity crisis in the country is caused by lack of ideas and insincerity of purpose on the part of Federal Government.
"Yes I agree with you that it is possible to generate electricity and to make sure that everybody in this country has electricity, we have to do the right thing. But you know what, the only way that you and I will have electricity in this country will be to vote out the PDP.
More than 10 years after loquacious Fashola was bragging in balablu chohocho vibes
pendy79: Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, on Sunday evening boasted that he could provide uninterrupted power supply to Lagos residents between six and eight months.
Fashola spoke at the commissioning of 8.5 megawatts Lekki Independent Power Project (IPP), the fifth of such power projects in the last five years in the state.
The governor said the addition of the Lekki IPP was a testament to the fact that stable power does not require rocket science to achieve in the country.
While challenging power distribution companies in the state, Fashola said, “Let the Eko DISCOs sign a contract with me, giving part of their concessioning to the state government, in about six to eight months, there will be power in all homes in Lagos State,” Fashola said.
He added, “So, let no one say that he has no money to deliver power for the entire country. This is the limit to which the law allows us to do, but we have done this to make a statement that power can be generated. So, when they come with lies that power is impossible, you can tell them that we have power here; we make it possible”.
The project, courtesy of the state government, in partnership with Heritage Bank, is to serve Lagos State Water Corporations in Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Victoria Island and Ikoyi, as well as over 25km of public lightening in the Lekki axis.
Commissioning the project, Fashola said he felt fulfilled with the conduct of youths that delivered the project, despite the difficulties in getting to the finishing point.
He said it also showed that the money to improve the Nigerian economy is here, “since we don’t need the World Bank to come and do this for us.”
Also, General Manager, Lagos State Electricity Board, Damilola Ogunbiyi, said the state had shown that reliable and sustainable power projects are possible through the youths.
Ogunbiyi said though it had been a successful story, the state was just scratching the surface in its “aggressive development plan” in the area of power.
Promoter of the project, Faruk Agoro noted that the new IPP was an innovative idea of world-class natural gas-fired power generating facility, sold to the government by youths and it was bought into, to support government institutions, especially in the area of water supply and security.
The Lekki IPP is 8.5 megawatts, with the capacity for 30 megawatts.
This brings the Lagos IPPS to a total of 47 megawatts of electricity in total, powering several public institutions around the state.
The generated megawatts is however still a far cry from the over 10, 000 megawatts power deficit in the state.
Inobeyourmate: Howbideints go castigate our beautiful woman for saying nice things about Seyi Tinubu, those mumus really have you when you have anything good to say about anybody related to Tinubu 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Since Umahi has been denied by his people, hopefully this beautiful damsel will get ebilokan the needed SE votes in 2027 to continue APC shege for another four years.
WizardOfNG: Senseless bitterness and hate can be blinding. Everyone knows there is no State in Nigeria better than Lagos at delivering on announced plan vitually 100%.
Also, there is not APC, PPD, Labour etal at State level. Just the will , or lack thereof, of the Governor to deliver.
I agree with you that senseless bitterness and hate can make someone blind in Stockholm syndrome fashion, to the deprivations of basic things as he rationalises it away in different ways.
What do you have against holding overpaid political office holder and leaders looters accountable?

How is this different from the Enron barge scam
Judge hands out prison time in Enron barge scam
Ex-Enron, Merrill execs sentenced. A repentant Boyle gets nearly four years for his involvement in barge scandal
May 13, 2005
Former Enron executive Dan Boyle was sentenced to nearly four years in prison Thursday, while Robert Furst and William Fuhs, both former Merrill Lynch bankers, received more than three years — all for their roles in the Enron Nigerian barge scam.
Boyle, sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison and fined $320,000, was the only one who appeared repentant about pushing through a sham sale of energy-generating barges to the bank so Enron could pump its earnings and bolster its stock price.
"I'm the only one responsible for my actions and omissions and for the pain I caused each and every person I affected," the Clear Lake resident told the judge. "I'm truly sorry."

ityP: Even Atiku is poor at managing people. See what's happening in PDP as we speak. Asiwaju won't allow it
Please why should it be up to one person to be a dictator managing a political party because they have no ideological principles?
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.”
Oakenshield: Such statements means only one thing Ruling party is sponsoring crisis
If it worked in 2023 to make ebilokan's turn possible with the help of wicked, ologogoro Wike then it is going to be tried again and again. Did Makinde and Ortom not fall yakata for the gimmick?
Can you imagine how Jandor was also planted in PDP for Lagos governorship election. The question is why the opposition PDP so slack
anonimi: 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.
Onyiridike: Rubbish! He should pray that the North doesn't vote against him.
If the North chooses to align with SE and vote against him, election will be concluded by 2PM and Tinubu will be on his way to Lagos.
If you remove North West votes from Tinubu in 2023, he stood no chance. Yet Yorubas are everywhere insulting everybody as if Yoruba votes alone will make Tinubu president.
Some of us have even taken the joke further and now saying that Nigeria is ebilokan’s slave plantation that his son would succeed him in 2031.
No doubt, We are confident Nigeria will be in safer hands come 2031
Nigeria Seyi 2031
Is this the plan?
Lagos is not enough, ebilokan’s son must succeed his father as president in 2031?
Are we all slaves to their family? Are they turning out country into their own personal slave plantation?
Is that why they are making us suffer in extreme poverty and giving us juju-laced daily bread palliative instead of JOBS to earn a living in dignity?
Glimpsetv: A large crowd of Lagosians was filmed in a long queue struggling to collect a loaf of bread. To maintain order, several military personnel were on the ground to control the crowd. This has triggered a lot of reactions online.
Watch the video, share your thoughts in the comments.
bennybuhari: The first son, Seyi Tinubu shares throwback picture. He captioned it ' We all have our younger days'
Since the father made clueless Buhari president to replace better performing Jonathan, more Nigerians have become worse extreme poverty paupers with unemployment and underemployment in an hyperinflation economy.
For us, it is more realistic to say- we all have our HUNGER days
This is something that even his father confirmed in his own self evaluation of the two years of hitting the ground running cluelessly in stark incompetence.
