lexy2014: if you say "With Tinubu, Nigeria shall rise", did Nigeria fall?
are you saying that for 8years Nigeria was on the ground?
how come that after 2years of tinubu administration, you are still waiting for nigeria to rise?

Good question, especially when we consider what APC promised before we allowed them to deliver their change.
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.

The Appeal Court did not rule in APC's favour but they want to scatter everything and create chaos where there is none.
Court of Appeal only treated the preliminary issues, did not pronounce on the main issues,
The judgment does not contain any order of reinstatement
Federal High Court judgment in APP vs OSSIEC & ors subsits.
APC lies deflated as Osun state Government is vindicated,
Appreciates President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Security Operatives for upholding the rule of law.
Osogbo- 14/02/2025 – osunstate.gov.ng
It would be recalled that the Court of Appeal delivered a judgment on Monday 10th February on the Appeal filed by the APC against the judgment of the Federal High Court between the PDP vs OSSIEC and others. People should also recall that, immediately after the judgment was delivered, the APC went to town with Propaganda, that the judgment delivered by the Court of Appeal has reinstated their YES/NO local Government Chairmen back to the local Government Councils. It would also be recalled that, the Government was very prompt in debunking the false claims of the APC on the judgment.
Yesterday, the Certified True Copy of the Court of Appeal judgment was released, the CTC clearly shows that, the Court of Appeal did not treat the merit of the case, that would have made the judgment obtained by the APP which equally nullifies the YES/NO local Government Election but only treated the preliminary issue of whether the Originating process filed by the PDP was competent or otherwise, which is a mere technicality.
Consequently, the Court of Appeal found that the Originating process filed by the PDP was incompetent and was struck out along with the suit no: FHC/OS/CS/94/2022 For the avoidance of doubt, the prayers of APC before the Court of Appeal are as follows:
RELIEFS SOUGHT FROM THE COURT OF APPEAL
(A) An Order allowing this appeal. (B) An Order setting aside the Ruling delivered by the Lower Court on 15th September, 2022 and dismissing the 1st Respondent’s Motion on Notice to amend dated 29th August, 2022 (but filed on 2nd September, 2022). (C) An Order granting the Appellants’ Motion on Notice to dismiss suit dated 28th October, 2022. (D) An Order setting aside and nullifying the Judgment of the Lower Court delivered on 25th November, 2022. (E) An Order invoking Section 16 of the Court of Appeal Act to determine the suit of the 1st Respondent on the basis of the Originating Summons dated 27th July, 2022. (F) An Order dismissing Suit No: FHC/OS/CS/94/2022. (G) An Order restoring the Appellants back into their offices having been duly elected by the citizens of Osun State. (H) Such further or other orders as this Honourable Court may make in the circumstances of this appeal.
And from the CTC of the judgment of the Court of Appeal, the Court held as follows:
In the circumstances; with the resolution of the two issues in favour of the appellants, it follows that this appeal is meritorious and it is accordingly allowed. The amended originating summons is hereby struck out for incompetence. Consequently Suit No: FHC/OS/CS/94/2022 be and is hereby struck out.
Cost of #250,000:00 to the appellants against the 1st Respondent.
From the two extracts above, it is very clear that only prayers a, b, c and d were granted while the Court of Appeal refused other prayers including the prayer G where they specifically prayed the Court for reinstatement.
Consequently, the current position of things as at today in relation to the YES/NO local Government Chairmen of Alhaji Gboyega Oyetola is the subsisting judgment in suit no: FHC/CS/OS/which equally nullified the local Government election conducted on 15th October, 2022 and which has not been invalidated in anyway by the current decision of the Court of Appeal which is based on preliminary issues, majorly on technicality, rather than the substance of the case.

anonimi: World Bank offers Nigeria forex rate advice, as Tinubu eyes N200/Dollar rate[
April 23, 2023
The President-elect said he would work with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to *bring down the exchange rate to N200 in his first term.*
“My administration will collaborate with the Central Bank to harmonize the fiscal and monetary policy to achieve immediate stabilization of the value of the naira against the US dollars and other currencies and in the short term, strengthen the naira by boosting the supply of foreign currency and moderating demand.
“The short-term goal is to achieve a naira/dollar rate of 300 naira/US$ and gradually achieve a less than 200 naira rate over the next four years, Tinubu stated.

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.
PressMyButton: Sumall sumall, everything is coming down, the goal is 15% inflation. Wailers, continue wailing, we like it like that.

MasterJayJay: How Tinubu’s Daughter, Folasade Wrote Oba Of Benin To Introduce Pastor Isi Ibhaguezejele As New Edo Market Leader
President Bola Tinubu’s daughter, Chief Dr. Mujidat Folasade Tinubu-Ojo (FCIML), the Iyaloja-General of Nigeria and the National Market Council of Nigeria, wrote to His Royal Majesty, Omo N'Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo Oba Ewuare II, asking the monarch to provide Pastor Isi Ibhaguezejele with the necessary support to succeed in her role as Edo State Iyeki-Elect (Market leader).
The letter sent to the Oba of Benin, dated April 30, 2024, was signed by Folasade, the first daughter of President Tinubu.
The letter reads, "Your Majesty, my name is Chief Dr. Mujudat Folasade Tinubu-Ojo (FCIML), the lyaloja-General of Nigeria, and the First Daughter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR).
"With greatest sense of responsibility and utmost regards to our Royal Father, His Royal Majesty, Omo N'Oba N'Edo, Uku Akpolokpolo Oba Ewuare II, The Oba of Benin, I humbly write to introduce PASTOR MRS JOSEPHINE ISI IBHAGUEZEJELE as the Edo State lyeki-Elect.
"With the development, it is her responsibility to see to the day-to-day affairs of the traders in the state (Edo State).”
"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you give your daughter every necessary backing to succeed in this great and noble assignment as I look forward to your fatherly blessing for her to be fruitful in her newly assigned responsibilities," Folasade added.
In January, just weeks after Isi Ibhaguezejele was installed as the market leader, known as Iye-Eki in Edo State, traders from various markets across the state's three senatorial districts took to the streets to protest her leadership.
They accused her of extortion, harsh treatment, and meting out ill-treatment towards them.

Success truly has millions famzing to associate even if they CONTRIBUTED absolutely nothing to the work on the road to success. How is your son contributing more to your personal wellbeing and national league/economy to be your pride
I want to sell a script to a Hollywood studio. The story is about a guy who owns a farm that constantly runs at a loss but never quite shuts down.
The farm is massive and underutilised, and the protagonist has all the opportunities in the world to improve its output and get a bumper harvest.
He has access to credit, machinery, free irrigation and gifts from neighbouring farmers, but all he ever does with these things is drink and smoke them away while his family suffers.
Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world
Apart from drinking, smoking and generally being utterly useless, his other pastime is to pump out children at an industrial rate. Needless to say, he takes no care of his children whatsoever, and many of them fail to survive childhood.
Those who do survive have to leave the farm and hire themselves out as hired labour to the neighbouring farmers, having picked up some survival skills from home.
With time, a number of them rise through the ranks and become senior managers, directors and even shareholders in these other farms while their father continues mismanaging his farm.
When good news about some of these successful children gets home, their father is filled with pride and joy, but when they end up on the wrong side of life, he acts as if he never knew them.
The successful ones make efforts to revamp their childhood home by sending back money and volunteering their skills and time, but all this guy ever wants to do is be a 62-year-old underachieving idiot carried through life by charity and luck.
Famzing” diaspora success is dishonest I’m sure before the end of the second paragraph, you figured out whose story I was telling. The 62-year story of post-independence Nigeria — which the Hollywood studio would surely reject for being too sad with no redemption — is that of our fictional antihero.
Nigeria has refused to grow up and achieve something, but it somehow feels as if it is living vicariously through the achievements of its estranged children around the world.
Remember how everyone from corporate brands to Abike Dabiri made a big song and dance about supporting Anthony Joshua the “Nigerian,” whose only chance to become someone in life came when his parents emigrated from Nigeria?
Remember how things turned when he somehow lost against that chubby Mexican dude whose name I can’t remember? Remember when the Super Falcons won the female AFCON title and received a congratulatory tweet from the president, only for them to have to stage a protest before being paid their camp allowances?
That’s what we do in Nigeria. We try to live vicariously through the achievements of people who have achieved great things under their own steam, simply because said people happen to be called ‘Ifeoma,’ ‘Efe’ and ‘Ayotunde.’
Even when Nigeria had absolutely nothing to do with said success, or in fact happened in spite of Nigeria, as with Divine Oduduru, we bask in the reflected glory of their personal achievements.
Sometimes when those people wear a Nigerian flag or post something about Wizkid or Jollof Rice on Instagram, we go crazy with the Nigerian flag emojis because oh my god, they identify with us!
This is not about being a Killjoy Somehow, the complete failure of Nigeria and our complicity in its failure is more bearable when we point at Nigerian immigrants doing great things in life and say “I knew Femi before he started calling himself Anthony.
His father and I were classmates in Aiyetoro.” It is unclear how exactly this helps our situation but hey, it’s also unclear how chugging the amount of alcohol we do helps either.
Escapism is a key part of our culture, and anyone who dissents must be a non-Jollof-eating, vegetarian heretic, and possibly also an atheist.
Now while all this is painfully cringey to my eyes, some will also point out that Nigeria is not the only country that has a weird obsession with its diaspora population.
Even ‘first-world’ countries like Ireland continue to have deep emotional and economic connections to their diaspora, and in any case Nigerians proudly supporting Anthony Joshua or the NBA’s Giannis Ante…African-sounding-name is basically harmless fun. They’re not hurting anyone. Why be such a killjoy, David?
The reason this matters can be found in a quote that has been dubiously attributed to Russian President Vladmir Putin, where he describes Africa as the place where its diaspora does not invest in, but returns to only to die and be buried with their ancestors.
While there is no concrete evidence that Mr. Putin ever actually made that comment, the truth in it is painfully poignant.
For diaspora success to be meaningful to Nigeria, it must correlate to on-ground results in Nigeria. The example of Somalia shows that having a well-educated, globally successful diaspora while being an absolute basket case are both possible at the same time.
This should have been done before the military handover.
Twenty six years late but good.
As good as the abandonment of free basic education despite growing revenues, debts and annual budgets
What then is the meaning of the P for progressive in APC? Can you please tell us

fergie001: The political tension in Osun State took a new dimension on Monday, with the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) urging the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in the state after some people were reportedly killed.
Should they not call for Oyetola's sack and prosecution instead
press9jatv: The Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola, on Friday, urged security agencies in Osun State to take action and ensure that local government officials elected in the October 15, 2022, election resume their respective duty posts as soon as possible.
The Court of Appeal, Akure Division, recently upheld the appeal filed by the chairmen and councillors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, dismissing the suit filed by the Peoples Democratic Party against the election as presumptive.
Speaking in Osogbo during a meeting with the elected chairmen and councillors, Oyetola assured them that they would return to their offices, relying solely on the rule of law.
The former Osun governor, who was accompanied at the meeting by the state APC Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal, former Deputy Governor Benedict Alabi, Managing Director of the National Inland Waterways Authority, Bola Oyebamiji, and others, warned against acts of lawlessness.
Bobloco: The national leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has declared that the sacked Osun State Local Government Chairmen and Councillors can’t force their way back into office because a substantive judgment of the Appeal Court has since sealed their fate.
National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Debo Ologunagba, said this in a statement, in Abuja, on Monday.
He cautioned the affected local government political leaders to perish the thought of forcing themselves back into office as such will amount to a futile venture with dire consequences.
Ologunagba said, “The PDP also charges the All Progressives Congress (APC) to accept the reality and end its resort to self-help, misrepresentations, vituperations, violence and killing with the aim to trigger crisis and destabilize the State, having realized that it has irredeemably lost.
“The PDP asserts that the fate of the ousted Local Government Chairmen and Councilors was sealed by the Judgment of the Court to Appeal which nullified the unconstitutional attempt by the then Governor Gboyega Oyetola to illegally plant them as Local Government officers in the guise of an election.
“Having been roundly rejected by the people of Osun State in the Saturday, July 16, 2022, governorship election, the then Governor Oyetola and the APC ought to have known that attempting to side-step the laws and manipulate the process to illegally foist APC members and apologists as Local Government Chairmen and Counselors was an exercise in futility which was bound to fail ultimately.
“The APC is the architect of its misfortune. It should have known that disregarding and refusing to comply with the provisions of the Constitution and the Osun State Local Government Election Laws with respect to the requirement on notices, processes and procedures of conducting local government elections is destined to be fatal and irreparable.
“We counsel the Osun State APC to stop playing to the gallery by trying to bring in the exulted office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria into disrepute by hopelessly dropping the President’s name at public spaces in their desperate but pathetic and unrealizable attempt to garner undeserved sympathy.
“The APC should note that our nation operates a federal system of government with clearly entrenched devolution of powers among the federating units as well as the various sub-national tiers of government.
“It should therefore desist from the fruitless attempt to drag President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the Federal Government into the issue of local government election which, under the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), is within the purview of the State and has no connection whatsoever with the Federal Government.”
The PDP further said, “If the APC believes that it is truly popular in Osun State as it claims, it should rather get ready for election as already scheduled by the Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) instead of holding unto an imaginary strand of straw and instigating violence and killings in the State.
“Our Party strongly condemns the violence and killing of some youths today by APC thugs and calls on the Inspector General of Police to hold APC leaders in Osun State responsible and bring them to book for this heinous crime.
“The PDP calls on the people of Osun State to remain calm, law-abiding and get ready for the Local Government Election as they continue to support Governor Ademola Adeleke in his outstanding delivery of monumental life-enhancing projects and programs in the State.”

Always harassing our sons and daughters when they steal and loot the treasury.
Na only us dey thief money? Leave Deziani our daughter alone.
Stop being a dumb tribesman.
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.

There is a difference between fact and fiction. We need to face facts, Buhari is worse than GEJ when it comes to fighting corruption, at least that’s what the facts prove.
Most of us believed there was corruption under Goodluck Jonathan’s Government. I agree with those who did, there was corruption, but not as bad as it is today under Mohammadu Buhari.
In 2012, Nigeria was placed at 139th position, In 2014, Nigeria gained 3 steps and was placed at 136th position. Under Buhari, Nigeria has lost many positions down to 148th.
There’s no further proof needed that corruption has worsened under Buhari’s government compared to previous years.
ZombieDredd: Hahahaha What bunkum is this... SE was not even captured in the national budget and this one is capping.
So why have the 15 Se senators and the 43 reps been approving the budget each year since 1999?
Are you not the one spewing ignorant bunkum and capping arrogantly 3
Oladimeji556: The Nigerian Senate has officially passed the 2025 Appropriation Bill, approving a record-breaking budget of N54.99 trillion on Thursday. This budget, which includes allocations for statutory transfers, recurrent and capital expenditures, and debt servicing, represents a significant increase from the initial proposal presented by President Bola Tinubu.
SatoshiX: Unfortunately, most of them are ingrate. They'll never acknowledge or appreciate his efforts..
What efforts is there to appreciate?
The ebilokan dumb efforts that have worsened everything in just two years? Inflation, unemployment, extreme poverty, insecurity and even corruption plus debts.
Abi what area of life has T-Pain improved since May 2023
NewDigitalWorld: The newly appointed Board Chairman of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH), Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori, has stated that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is making significant investments in the South-East health sector to demonstrate the President’s special interest in the region’s socio-economic development.
That is T-Pain's way of saying thank you for the Biafuro people who were part of Pandora Bitter Obi's tribal headless mob that paved his ebilokan way to Aso Rock with their almost 100% votes to their son of the soil.
jameshankss: Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.
The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”
Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.
But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.
The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.
Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.
“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.
“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”
Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.
Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.
He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.
“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.
“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”
Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”
Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.
He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
dvCrown: I don't know why we celebrate double standards in this country? In one breath PDP cried that the local government Chairmen in Edo State must remain and sanity prevailed, and in another breath the PDP has disagreed with the court ruling in Osun and they want what favoured them be applicable in Osun State. Some Nigerian are blaming Oyetola, why won't the Governor do the same thing that APC allowed to happen in Edo State? Most Nigerians always shift goal in the midst of the game when it doesn't favour them.
What paragraph in the court judgement says that the LGA officials should return to duty
Nevertheless it determines all things that concern everyone, whether they are weak or strong.
So why should anyone who is reasonable fail to participate in the process of politics and governance in different ways

madridguy: GEJ that nearly assassinate Rotimi Amechi on live broadcast, or Jonathan that make the Rep members including their speaker Aminu Tambuwal to jump fence
Amaechi and Tambuwal were playing politics like Fayemi confessed about using Buhari’s 2011 running mate to scatter the fuel deregulation protests in 2012.
Where are the three of them now, a decade after helping T-Pain package his 2011 expired CPC candidate into the change messiah of APC, when he remained the shege master of cluelessness
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.

TruthsFM: BREAKING: Police, DSS Arrest PDP Thugs Attempting to Disrupt Reinstatement of Osun LG Chairman
Security operatives from the Nigeria Police Force and the Department of State Services (DSS) have arrested several suspected PDP thugs who allegedly attempted to disrupt the peaceful reinstatement of the duly elected Local Government Chairman in Osun State.
The security agencies acted swiftly to maintain order and ensure a smooth transition following the recent Appeal Court ruling.
Gerrard59: It has to be. I've had a thought about it. You will have well learned and exposed people turn into something else the moment they hold political power. It surprises, honestly. Because if this is how they - supposedly well educated and exposed ones - behave, then the likes of Uzodinma and Co should be forgiven. Others are Obiano who became a jogger on well tarred roads in the US and Orji Uzor Kalu whose daughter attended an elite preparatory school in the US but destroyed the infrastructural fabric of Abia.
Does that have anything to do with the absence of an adequate number of educated people in the various aspects of governance and political processes, thereby making the few who are involved to be beholden to the thugs, touts, uneducated/miseducated people and criminals
We can’t be catching cruise instead of getting involved with serious community issues, and then expect to get serious people in government. What is sowed is what is reaped.
