TinubuDeDrugLor:
Some of you Yoruba's urchins are so disgustingly useless and foolish.

Bererebe still talking nonsense.

Tinubu is just deceiving himself. He know he won't be President.


Tinubu will never be President of Nigeria.


Peter Obi will save nigerians from the hands of economic terrorists like Tinubu and APC bandits.

It will never be well with anyone supporting this evil APC government that has killed Nigerians in their millions.

Sowore, on Saturday in Ondo State, asked Nigerians to vote right and avoid electing a “sick president” in the 2023 general elections.

Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) has said that Nigeria can’t afford a sick candidate or President to manage it, being a sick country.

Sowore, on Saturday in Ondo State, asked Nigerians to vote right and avoid electing a “sick president” in the 2023 general elections.

The AAC Presidential candidate made this known while speaking at a marathon held in Ilu-Titun in the Okitipupa area of Ondo State, stressing that Nigerians would define the future of the country for another round of years with their vote next year.

He however, challenged Nigerians not to vote based on ethnicity but rather support a candidate that is “competent and exposed” in the next year’s election.

He said; “It’s for everyone to vote right and ensure that the next four or eight years in the country does not fall in the hands of the very sick candidate.

“We (Nigerians) know them because Nigeria herself is a sick country. We can’t afford a sick candidate or President managing a sick country.”

According to him, “I invite other presidential candidates to participate in the marathon and see what happens. So, vote for a candidate who is vibrant and exposed, and I’m not asking anyone to vote for me based on ethnicity but I want it to be about competence, exposure and ambition.”

Sowore is among eighteen presidential candidates that would be participating in the February 25, 2023, presidential poll.

He would be facing other top presidential contenders; Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi of the Labour Party (PDP) and Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in the race.

With less than two months to the 2023 poll, all eyes are already on Nigeria as its citizens prepare for the exercise even as the various candidates continue to solicit support from the electorates.

Nigeria’s electoral body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured that it would conduct a free, fair and transparent election despite repeated attacks on its facilities by suspected arsonists in some areas of the country.

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi yesterday attended the Crossover night at Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry Uke, Anambra State.

According to a motion picture of the event, the former Anambra governor was given a standing ovation by worshippers who expressed excitement having him in the church.

Obi who addressed the adorers in Igbo expressed optimism that the country would change for good as Nigerians elect new leaders in the new year.

Rev Fr Ebube Muonso blessed the LP candidate for victory in the upcoming presidential election, stressing that Obi is the Moses sent to save the nation from its current woes.

Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, all appears not well in the All Progressives Congress (APC) as one of the major contenders in this year’s presidential primary of the party, Rotimi Amaechi, on Thursday kept mum on the ambition of Bola Tinubu – the APC presidential candidate.

News Direct reports that Tinubu won the APC presidential primary in June this year with the former Rivers State governor, coming in distant second position.

But Amaechi, who decked in a northern traditional title turban during a visit to Ondo State governor on Thursday , failed to make any comment on Tinubu’s presidential ambition following Governor Rotimi Akeredolu’s request that Southerners must support the ex-Lagos governor as it is the turn of the zone to produce Nigeria’s president.

Akeredolu had explained that since President Muhammadu Buhari from the North is spending eight years, then it is the turn of the South to produce the next President for another eight years.

However, Amaechi, who said he was in Akure for the Presentation of Staff of Office to Olu Falae as Olu of Ilu Abo, reportedly brushed aside the governor’s comment on rallying support for Tinubu.

“Because of my campaign for Presidency, I knew Chief Olu Falae. We visited his house in Akure. So I came to visit Chief Olu Falae whom you have kindly recognized with the Panel report,” Amaechi who was conferred with the title of Dan Amanar Daura by Emir of Daura early this year, said.

Reacting to Amaechi’s seeming cold attitude towards Tinubu’s presidential ambition during the Ondo’s visit, a Facebook user, Tolu Babalaye, said the behaviour of the former Transportation Minister signalled that all is not well in APC.

“Rotimi Amaechi did not talk about APC 2023, something is amiss. Peace,” he said in a comment on Gov Akeredolu’s Facebook page.

Another Facebook user, Baba Oluwadarasimi, said : “His body language and his followers are not in tandem with Jagaban Presidential ambition. They are still lamenting the defeat of the APC Presidential primary. Trillions of Amaechi and his cohorts cannot stop the emergence of ASIWAJU Bola Ahmed Tinubu Jagaban as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria come 29th of May, 2023.

News Direct reports that there has been reports that Amaechi is unhappy with the way Tinubu is politically romancing with Governor Nyesom Wike of the Peoples Democratic Party, to the detriment of APC in Rivers State.

Prominent Pan-Igbo socio-political pressure group, the South East Revival Group (SERG) has called on Nigerians to ignore those it described as a few inconsistent and selfish Igbos fueling the anti-Peter Obi campaign ahead of the 2023 presidential election.

This is as the group said they are on a wild goose chase believing that any of the current presidential candidates are interested in uniting the country through fairness and equity as they are equally selfish.

SERG stated this while reacting to the reports credited to some elites of South East extraction who have been making anti-Peter Obi comments in a statement signed by its President and National Coordinator, Chief Willy Ezugwu.

Both the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftains have urged the South East to support their presidential candidates to get support for the emergence of a South Easterner as President after their tenure.

But insisting that there is no going back in the “total support for the Labour Party presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi across the country”, the SERG said that “the fact that individuals who are part of the country’s failed leadership are exposing themselves is a good development in the build-up to an emerging new Nigeria.”

The SERG said, “We recall that in 2017, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Arthur Eze, had called for support from the people of the South East for the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, stressing that it is only through President Buhari that the quest for Igbo presidency can be actualized.

“Arthur Eze, who is the founder and chairman of the oil exploration company, Atlas Oranto Petroleum, made the call in Abakaliki during Buhari’s visit to the state in 2017.

“At the end of the day, the Governor David Umahi he was positioning for President got disappointed when he didn’t get support from the President to emerge the presidential candidate, despite dumping his party, the Peoples Democratic Party to join APC in anticipation that President Buhari will endorse him.

“The same game is on ahead of the 2023 general presidential election, and this time, Anambra State Governor, Prof. Charles Chukwuma Soludo is the pointsman they are using to deceive a few Igbo elites that a support for APC or PDP in the presidential election will ensure that a President of Nigeria of Igbo extraction will be made possible whenever the PDP or APC candidate may have finished his tenure.

“If the support of the likes of Arthur Eze and David Umahi for APC did not translate into support for an Igbo to emerge Presidential candidate of the party in 2023, which is what is fair and just, it will be unthinkable to believe that the emergence of an Igbo as president will be possible as being promised over the years.

“It is unjust, unfair and devoid of equity for a Northern to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023. How can a Muslim northerner replace a Muslim northerner in 2023? Is it just? Is it fair? Is equity not lacking in that?

“Nigerians of good conscience know that PDP unjustly denied the Igbos the presidential ticket contrary to its zoning arrangement as enshrined in the party’s constitution.

“In the same vein, it is unfair and unjust to the South East was a Yoruba southerner to succeed President Buhari after Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, a Yoruba, completed an eight-year tenure as President and the Yoruba has a sitting Vice-President who would have completed his eight years in 2023.

“As for Senator Adolphus Wabara who claimed that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar will hand over to an Igbo, how can that be when no South East man or woman was good enough for the position of a Vice-President in Atiku’s government in 2023?

“Is Senator Wabara telling us that an Atiku who desperately and deliberately usurped the turn of South East in his party and ensured the total desecration of the provision of the PDP constitution on zoning will now hand over to a South East person after his tenure?

MegaMillions – MPU
“In 2019, Atiku Abubakar enjoyed the total support of the Igbos but he paid the Igbos back by blocking every possibility of a South Easterner emerging presidential candidate or even a vice presidential candidate. So, where is his love for Igbos?

“Therefore, we are happy that the 2023 presidential election has become a tool in the hand of God and individuals who hate Nigeria and love only themselves are being exposed on daily basis.

“We’re equally happy that people of good conscience across the country, who are obviously in the majority, are rooting for justice and equity, which is what the presidential bid of Peter Obi represents.

“It is a quest for true unity, peace and prosperity of Nigeria as a country.

“Nigerians have seen that Peter Obi is competent, prepared and divinely favoured to win the 2023 presidential election.

“Peter Obi himself has on several occasions urged Nigerians to vote for him as a Nigerian, not because he is an Igbo man.

“That is a man who has a heart of a true leader and is ready to bring about a new Nigeria where peace and justice shall truly reign for the benefit of Nigerians from all works of life, irrespective of political party affiliation or religious beliefs.

“Peter Obi represents the true Nigerian spirit, not the selfishness of the leaders who have kept the country in captivity over the years”, the SERG stated.

Am i the only one? I have never come across anyone who says he would vote for Tinubu

[s] “We all recall that early this year in January when he declared to contest for that office, Bola Ahmed Tinubu was seen traveling to the nooks and corners of this country campaigning and soliciting for the support of traditional rulers and Nigerians even before the primaries.[/s]

[s]“He is here because he’s mentally alert and his intellect is sound. And don’t forget that up till today he has attended so many town hall meetings and rallies.

“We need to face issues. Is the man ready mentally? Does he have the intellectual capacity? Does he understand what we are talking about? Is his speech directed to issues that are happening around him? [/s]

Before Osuntokun appointment as the DG, he was the Zonal Coordinator (South) of the campaign council.

He was a former managing director of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) and served as the director of publicity for the 2003 presidential campaign of the PDP for Obasanjo.

He was also the campaign coordinator for the 2011 presidential campaign of the PDP for Goodluck Jonathan.

OBI'S ANAMBRA VS TINUBU'S LAGOS!!!

This is my reply to a Tinubu supporter who told me that why she is supporting Tinubu is because Lagos is more developed than Anambra state. It's a little long but it's an interesting write up. Please take time to read through. God bless you.

To start with, I know you have made up your mind to vote your preferred candidate and that's okay by me. I am not necessarily replying you so you can change your mind but if you do that will also be great however I am replying you mainly to put the records straight.

1: It is absolutely improper for APC to use Lagos to campaign for presidency when APC has been in power for almost eight years. The proper thing as a party is to use their performance for the past seven and half years to campaign but because they know they failed Nigerians so they don't want to use their performance to campaign. So APC is now two; Buhari's APC and Tinubu's APC. Tinubu cannot separate himself from the current APC Central government. APC as we all know according to Federal Government figures has put more Nigerians in poverty. According to their own government agencies figures APC government has put Nigeria in worse situation economically than they met Nigeria. For Tinubu to distance himself from the current APC Central government performance and be using Lagos to campaign when he Tinubu was an arrow head in bringing the current APC to power is a clear indication that APC as a political party cannot be trusted. In my opinion no sensible Nigerian should vote such a party especially at the presidential level. For me it will be complete foolishness to still vote a party that every statistics available shows they performed far below standard.
Again Tinubu told us that he already has his team to work with if he wins and when you look at his so called team they are the same people in this current government that has put 133 million Nigerians in poverty. My dear, that's a clear indication that we are headed for a more serious disaster if we ever elect APC again at the centre sentiments aside.

2: You said you asked your friends that live in Anambra and they complained of insecurity, lack of good roads and other amenities. Well my question is when did you ask them? Did you ask them when Peter Obi was in power or now after almost nine years Peter Obi left office? Did those your friends experience Anambra before Peter Obi came in and did they witness Anambra under Peter Obi? The truth is that everybody is entitled to his/her opinions but truth remains one.
And that truth is that under Peter Obi Anambra state was declared the safest state in Nigeria for five consecutive years by the then IGP Mohamed Abubakar as even reported by The Nation Newspaper of 11th April, 2014. You can verify it ma. So under Obi, Anambra was far safer than Lagos. Obi was the first governor in Nigeria to demolish houses used for kidnapping. It's also verifiable ma. It's very wrong to use the state of insecurity in Anambra now to judge Obi that left office for about nine years ago. It's just like judging Yaradua's performance in office with the present state of insecurity in Nigeria.
You said your friends complained of bad roads. Well, under Obi, the Federal Ministry of Works declared Anambra state as the state with the best network of roads including rural roads. Obi also won the UNDP price as the best governor in Nigeria in implementation of MDG goals. The MDG is a global development indices used in measuring development performance of public office holders. Obi was the best in Nigeria again defeating Lagos. I can testify to the road infrastructure during Obi because I was living in Enugu by then and Obi even used to repair and reconstruct Federal roads that pass through Anambra state. I am telling you this one as what I personally witnessed myself.

3: You tried to compare Anambra and Lagos in terms of infrastructure and booming business activities.
Well, with every honesty it's very wrong comparison unless we just want to be insincere or just to score a political goal. Lagos was not built by any state governor not even Tinubu. Lagos was built by the Federal Government of Nigeria and that's the truth. And for being the Capital it's natural for Embassies and business headquarters to be in Lagos. Lagos was Nigeria's Capital for many decades. It was natural for Lagos to be the way it is. It's just like Abuja now. If our capital moves away from Abuja will any state governor claim to have built Abuja? Comparing Lagos and Anambra in terms of infrastructure and booming businesses is like comparing Lagos and Ekiti or comparing Abuja and Katsina. Again mind you FG has refused to allow other Ports to be operational except Lagos for whatever reason. Just imagine all goods coming into Nigeria coming through Anambra state only.
Anambra can actually be compared with Lagos but not as you are comparing but by using global development indices checking how it was when a governor came into power and how it was when the same governor left power. By this it will be a standard measurement. With this we can now measure Lagos and Anambra during the time of Peter Obi and know how the two states performed during that period. The comparison is done towards the end of this write up.
You also said that Tinubu sustained Lagos without Federal Allocation. Now truth be told it was not as though Tinubu did investments that brought economic boom in Lagos that made him sustain Lagos rather it was that he collected taxes from Lagosians and Lagos businesses. His idea of growing public wealth is in widening tax net and not necessarily economic policies and investments. That's why he seems to be obsessed with Agberos and tollgates. For him it's all about tax. I am not trying to run Tinubu down my sister but I am saying the obvious fact which even him Tinubu has said.

4: Let me give you few developmental achievements of Obi as a governor which he defeated his Lagos counterpart.
a. He won the best governor in MDG goals in Nigeria defeating the entire 35 other governors including his Lagos counterpart. This means Obi improved Anambra more than he met it more than other state governors did to their own states during his time.
b. Obi won the Governor of the decade award. Again he was the best governor in Nigeria for the entire decade defeating his Lagos counterpart.
c. Obi moved Anambra from number 26 in WAEC to number 1.
d. Anambra was the safest state in Nigeria as declared by the then IGP. Anambra was even safer than Lagos under Obi.
e. The Federal Ministry of Works declared Anambra as the state with the best road network in Nigeria defeating Lagos.
f. Under Obi Anambra was the least indebted state in Nigeria. He improved Anambra without borrowing. I can give you more but let me stop here for now.
Please you can get most of the things I shared here at Peter Obi: A complete Profile (Vanguard Newspaper of 13th October, 2018)

5: Let's now use the international indices for measuring performance and show Anambra and Lagos under Obi. There are six indices we will use. The data is from a global renowned independent data organization called Global Data Lab (GDL): What we are checking is how did Anambra and Lagos improve under Obi. What are the rate of development for each state at the period and which state developed at a higher rate? I didn't want to bore you with the details of figures, I only extracted the percentages of growth to make it easier and less cumbersome. The figures are available at Global Data Lab Website.

https://globaldatalab.org

The percentages are from 2007 to 2014.

A: GROSS INCOME PER CAPITA:
Lagos:. 0.92% growth
Anambra: 4.450%growth.
Anambra performed better than Lagos.

B: LIFE EXPECTANCY:
Lagos: 2.26 growth
Anambra:10.12growth
Again Anambra outperformed Lagos.

C: HUMAN DEVELOPMENT INDEX:
Lagos: 5.40 growth
Anambra: 15.82growth
Anambra added more value than Lagos.

D: HEALTH INDEX:
Lagos: 3.89 growth
Anambra:16.30growth
Anambra still beats Lagos

E: EDUCATION INDEX:
Lagos: 10.73% growth
Anambra: 22.5growth
Anambra is still far ahead

F: INCOME INDEX:
Lagos: 1.86% growth
Anambra: 9.42growth
Anambra still on top.

The indication simply is that Obi left Anambra better than he met it when compared to his Lagos counterpart.

6: The last thing that we must look at is the character of the individuals. While I always maintain that Obi is not a saint but truth is that we all know that he is better in character. He is far more trustworthy. When you look at how the two of them left office it's very clear. While the Lagos man did law to make him milk Lagos money in the name of pension and other entitlements running into millions upon millions of naira Obi doesn't collect shishi from the State government. Obi also cut down the cost of governance which was why he didn't borrow and he was still able to meet the MDG goals. This is very rare in Nigeria.

We must also agree that the Lagos man is no longer as healthy as he was in 1999. We all know what we suffered in Nigeria because our current president was not well. Please I am not mocking Tinubu because of sickness but I am stating an obvious fact.

Madam with every sincerity, if you have a personal company and the Lagos man and the Anambra man apply to manage your company, who will you employ among the two? Please see Nigeria as your personal company.

May God bless you immensely. Thanks for taking your time and for reading through.
