Only fool's and youruba Muslims are supporting tinubu, he's no longer a regional candidate but a youruba Muslim candidate.

See those 2 BATIDIOTS up there consoling themselves on their pains

Their master won't stop disgracing himself, giving his Twitter urchins difficult work to do by always defending and translating his statements

Evil people flock together,awon eleribu Omo ale

PandoraObi:
Ahmed Datti is enlightened and vast learned, he is treading with caution, he knows the Biafra party now labour party is capitalising on IPOB miscreants and agitation for the campaign, he doesn't want a country that will plunge him into chaos

This may seem as an unpopular opinion.

Shettima is quite visible and active for Tinubu and APC campaigns.

Okowa is a bit mute; the North know the South is divided amongst itself (SE especially, yes our tribalism goes all the way down to L.G.A), hence the house cannot stand and votes will be shared between PDP, APC and LP by narrow margins.

Datti on the other hand isn't doing visibly much to secure support for Peter Obi in the North. I can't begin to count the number of places PO travels to weekly to gather support, but he can't do it all alone.

All the same, 2023 elections is going to be quite interesting.

The Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu/ Kashim Shettima presidential campaign flag-off on Thursday in Ilorin ended in tragedy as a vehicle allegedly belonging to one of the top dignitaries crushed one Toyin, a younger sister to the woman leader of APC in Kwara state, Alhaja Tawa Agaka to death.

The tragedy occurred at the Metropolitan Square, venue of the campaign flag-off, along Asa Dam road in the state capital.

The presidential campaign flag-off which attracted high ranking party members, was led by Nigeria’s first lady, Mrs Aisha Buhari who was supported by the Kwara state Governor, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, his wife, Amb. Olufolake, wives of Tinubu and Shettima Sen. Oluremi and Nana.

Also present were other first ladies from APC states, Kwara state deputy governor, Kayode Alabi and top party officials from Abuja and across the country.

According to an eyewitness, Toyin’s life was cut short at the venue by a vehicle on reverse which pinned her to another vehicle. The driver of the vehicle who was reportedly shocked by the consequence of his action, tried to drive away in panic. There were however conflicting claims over who owned the vehicle involved in the accident.

One eyewitness told news that the vehicle belongs to the Kwara first lady while another dismissed the claim, saying the first lady’s vehicle was nowhere near the incident.

Throwing more light on how Toyin’s life wss cut short, another eyewitness said, “Toyin was at the back of the vehicle and the driver of the vehicle reversed unknowingly, the driver hit her and pinned her to the vehicle at back until she died.

“Everybody shouted, and the noise attracted the attention of dignitaries at the event.

“She was rushed to hospital but all effort to revived her went in vain.” The eyewitness revealed.

The witness revealed further that, following the mishap, the driver in panic, frantically tried to move the vehicle away from the victim.

The dead victim,Toyin and the injured ones were rushed to the hospital where Toyin’s death was confirmed and battle commenced to save the lives of the injured.

Toyin, before her tragic death was a leader of a group in kwara APC, named CK .

When contacted, Toyin’s elder sister and Kwara APC woman leader, Alhaja Tawa Agaka told journalists on telephone that the death of her sister came to her in rude shock, leaving her numb with sorrow.

According to her, she was there at metropolitan square the venue of the campaign. She was on the high table with the other top notches of the party, enjoying the fun of the flag-off when suddenly there was an outcry of accident. She went over with others to see what was happening, only to meet the lifeless body of her sister on the floor.

”I was at the high table at the event. I just heard the noise and we went there to confirm the situation and on getting there to see the victim, she turned out to be my sister”.

Agaka said she is still in shock over her sister’s tragic death.

” I’m devastated. I’m still in shock. I can’t believe Toyin is gone“

She told newsmen that Toyin has been buried according to Islamic rites and Fridau prayer will be held for her at Agaka compound at 9am on Sunday.

Pierocash:
.People like you are the reasons young Nigerians don't think they can make it in Nigeria.

What Agbaje pointed out is nothing but the truth. How will a bank executive resign her position and relocated to become a health care assistant and all you could do is to justify it by saying she earns a decent pay. What kind of life is she living there and how much does she earns? You are talking of fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram, those people running away from Nigeria are not even in there region of bandits and Boko Haram,these are Southerners using Boko Haram as the excuse to japa only to end up with lower standard of living,while those who are directly affected are not even considering japa as an option.

People tend to use exchange rate to measure wealth,but you are wrong. Exchange rate is not and indices to measure standard of living. You measure standard of living using what is called PPP(Purchasing price/power parity). That is what is used to determine standard of living not exchange rate. There are people in Nigeria here who have never touched dollar or pounds in their life ,but have higher standard of living that so many of their counter parts abroad.

Quit this your japa mentality and build yourself here,there is honey and gold in Nigeria here. You can't convince someone like me to japa,I will rather go there to invest and return home just to spread my business nothing more.

I stand with Agbaje.

Truth be told, Agbaje is not alone in this warped thinking that the average Nigerian, who has a reputation for being longsuffering and sanguine, endured excruciating and sometimes humiliating visa application processes, saved up millions, and left their families and friends behind to journey to a faraway land on a whim.

Thortp:
Oga Sir, Let everyone decide on what they want.
Not everyone is after wealth or status in the society.
All some people craves for is simply rest of mind, considering the high level of insecurity in the country.
A presidential convoy was attacked in Nigeria for God's sake.

I see many people leaving in droves even to neighbouring African countries if Nigeria's situation remains the same after a year from now.

What insult can be higher than that?

Pastor Olumide Akinbobola is the presiding pastor of the Last Trumpet Bible Church, Koye-Oke, Olambe in Ifo Local Government of Area of Ogun state. The church celebrated its 15th year anniversary penultimate Sunday during the event, he took time to share his thoughts with EJIKEME OMENAZU on the state of the Nation and on issues ranging from Christian Association of Nigeria’s (CAN) National Prayers Day at the National Ecumenical Centre, in Abuja, 2023 general elections, among others. Except:

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) recently held a National Prayer Day for peace and unity towards the success of 2023 general elections during this election year. How do you see this development?

I see the national prayer as long overdue. The sacred book enjoined us to pray without ceasing, in season and out of season. The Abuja prayer meeting is in line with the will of God. In 1Tim 2: 1-2 God said that Christians should pray and make intercessions for all men, particularly for men in authority so that we may all lead a peaceable life. Nigerians need prayer more than ever with the wave of insecurity and reckless acts of terrorism in the country. In my opinion, both Muslims and Christians should engage seriously in petitioning God to intervene in the affairs of the country thing. It should extend to the six geo-political zones of the country. We must constantly remind God of our powerlessness and ask him to step in. Whatever is handed over to God is safe and secure.

Due to the controversies it attracted, would you say that the Muslim/ Muslim ticket (MMT) of All Progressives Congress (APC) did more harm than good for the country?

The Muslim/Muslim Ticket (MMT) of All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate in the forthcoming 2023 general elections is in bad taste, considering the polarity of religion in the country. It is a threat to Nigeria’s unity. However, we should not see it as a major issue in the 2023 general elections. This is because people who oppose the Muslim/Muslim ticket (MMT) can look to other parties as options.

Would you say that APC by insisting on Muslim/Muslim ticket has succeeded in dividing the Northern Christians who now see themselves as marginalised?

The Northern Christians should not see themselves as marginalised as long as they believe in whom they are serving. I see no reason why Muslim/Muslim ticket will divide them. It will unite them more going by the reaction of Northern Christians. Many Northern Christians in APC are resigning en masse to join other parties who fielded Christian/ Muslim ticket.

How do you see the move by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the Pentecostal Felloship of Nigeria (PFN) to ensure massive Christian participation in 2023 general elections?


The move by CAN and PFN to ensure massive Christian participation in 2023 general elections is a wake-up call and it is step in the right direction. This is because faith without action is void. As we are praying to God to give us good leaders, we should also encourage Christians to get their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and vote for the right leaders. The Bible says: “Righteousness exalts a nation”. God has a part to play and we have our part to play. A man of God once said that putting everything on the shoulder of God is an irresponsible faith. We should go beyond prayers. We should encourage our Christian brothers and sisters to get their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and vote out bad leaders who are responsible for the catalogue of woes facing Nigerian people. The future of Nigeria is in our hands. The choice is ours. We should not tamper with the future of coming generation.

With the high rate of insecurity, hunger, killing, banditry, kidnapping, bad economy and dwindling value of naira, would you say that the current federal administration has fulfilled its mandate to Nigerians?

Without being bias, permit me to say that this is the worst administration in Nigeria’s history so far. They cannot be compared favourably with the past administrations. I came across the so-called manifesto of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2015 which says: Is the naira exchange of ₦250 to one dollar okay? They promised to bring a democratic change and we voted for them. They did not only bring economic hardship to Nigerians, they also brought insecurity, hunger, killings, kidnapping and dwindling value of naira. Nigerians have never experienced this kind of hardship before. They are in no way fulfilling the promises made to the Nigerian people since 2015.

What do you think the church should do to save the nation from more calamities in the years to come?

Number one, Nigerians should keep on praying to God. Let every pastor, Prophet and Evangelist enlighten their members on the need to vote for the right candidates. They should explain to them to know the importance of shuning inducement by politicians. Politicians will soon begin house-to-house campaigns, sharing foodstuffs and money. Some will be sharing ₦5,000, ₦10,000. They should not be carried away with their gifts. They should borrow a leaf from the Ghanaian electorate who rejected their politician’s foodstuffs and money.

Do you think the church has abandoned its core mandate of soul winning in favour of the pursuit of power money, miracles and worldly pleasures?

Let me say it in my mother’s tongue “tibi tire lada ile aye”. The earth is established with opposites good and bad, water and fire. In every action, there is an equal or opposite reaction. To be honest with you, there are some churches which are pursuing the core mandate of the church, which is, ‘Go ye into the world and be my witness’. But, they are few. There are also churches which are winning souls for Christ on a weekly and daily basis. There are still some churches investing in evangelism. But, because of the economic situation in the country, they are now abandoning their core mandate, thereby neglecting soul winning in favour of pursuing power, miracles and worldly pleasures.

The General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye has restated the fact that the church is wiser now and will not allow itself to be used by any political party or politicians.

Adeboye said this at the Special Prayer and Thanksgiving Service for businessmen, market women and their families held recently at the National Headquarters of RCCG, Throne of Grace, Ebutte-Metta, Lagos.

Tagged Oveflowing, It had thousands of Christians faithful’s which feature song rendition, prayers and prophetic ministration.

Adeboye, who was represented by the Special Adviser to General Overseer on Administration, Pastor Dele Balogun who spoke to journalists said that the church will continue to encourage its members to vote alongside performing their civil responsibility.

He said “I am sure the church is also wiser now, no church will allow itself to be used by any politicians. We know that we, Christian have our own civil responsibility. We cannot fold our hands. We are going to participate and vote in the coming election but we will not allow any politicians or any party to use us. He encourage politicians to trust God, shun violence and not use religion as a divisive tool.

He posited further by encouraging Nigerians not to give up on our nation. The nation will flourish and rise again. There is hope for Nigeria.

“Everybody knows that all is not well with Nigeria. My sermon is that we should not give up on Nigeria. There is no where we can go. All of us cannot leave Nigeria. I assure you that the eagle will fly again and our tomorrow will be alright”, he said.

He added that RCCG remain committed to its social responsibilities across the country. Last Sunday in October, we distributed food worth #2million at the RCCG, National Headquarters and we are trying to response to the Nigerians displaced by floods across the country.

‘Asiwaju Is My Friend But He Has Lost 40% Christians & Minorities Votes In Borno’ – Ibrahim Turaki

Ribadu spoke at the inauguration of the Directorate of Stakeholder Relations of the APC Presidential Campaign Council on Thursday.

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu has been warned of the strength of the opposition parties.

Former chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu said Tinubu should not take Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PD); Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP) and Rabiu Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNNP) for granted.

Ribadu spoke at the inauguration of the Directorate of Stakeholder Relations of the APC Presidential Campaign Council on Thursday.

He said, “We should not under-rate our opponents, we should work assiduously to make the margin of winning too wide that the victory will be massive and sweet.

“Luckily for us, our job is cut out for us. We have the most saleable product in the market today. There is no one candidate out there that is better than our own.

“Asiwaju Tinubu is an accomplished human being and a thoroughbred administrator and maverick politician, he has something to show from his glowing antecedents.

“He will not learn on the job, he also has a wide network of friends and associates everywhere in Nigeria, which makes our job of outreach very much easier.”

He said the inauguration of the directorate was a watershed moment in the match by the APC and its PCC to ensure that Tinubu emerges winner of the forthcoming presidential election.

According to Ribadu, the inauguration of the leadership and members of the directorate signposts the formal engagement to begin campaigns fully.

“This is however not the beginning of the work, some of us have burnt many midnight candles for a long time, even before the formal Constitution of the Directorate, working to build bridges between critical stakeholders,” he said.

On his part, founding National Chairman of the APC, Chief Bisi Akande, who inaugurated the directorate, expressed satisfaction with the performance of the APC-led administration since May 29, 2015.

Naira20:
Lol

IPOB

But when it's politics and governance, and the leaders you elected to govern you at different levels start to fail or have failed you woefully, to fulfill promises they voluntarily made to you and your life and that of your family, friends and business are adversely affected, you turn to God for intervention. You start defending the rogues in powers and their failure because of political partisanship, patronage, or pecuniary interest or you are just being voluntarily stupid.
