Tinubu's surpporters believes that those who are surporting Peter Obi (mostly youths) do not have voter cards and that it is only those who are rooting for BAT that have PVC. I use to wonder about how they come to this conclusion because I and my people here in Osun are campaigning for LP and we have PVC.

This is Tinubu's home state. We are fully Obidient.

The Central Planning Committee of the #Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally has said that the group would converge at the Lekki Toll Gate if the Federal Government does not make the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos available for the Lagos 5-million-man-march / rally.

In a statement Friday, Olawale Okunniyi, Director General of the National Consultative Front (NCFront) / 3rd Force Movement noted that the group has made an appeal to the Minister of Youths and Sports Development to authorise the use of the stadium which was not responded to.

He asked the Lagos State Government to wade in and secure the stadium for its use or they would be forced to gather at the Lekki Toll Gate or any other venue that is of strategic historic venues.

He said, “Please be notified that the Central Planning Committee of the Lagos 5 million-man-march/mega rally has just alerted the leadership of the 3rd Force Movement that in the event that the APC Government in Lagos State refuses to approve the use of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos for the peaceful Obi-dient Independence march/rally holding on Saturday, October 1, 2022, the Organisers may not be able to stop Nigerians from making use of strategic historic venue like Lekki Toll Gate, and Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park against all odds.

“Leaders of the 3rd Force Movement have tried to intervene in this matter but the Federal Ministry of Sports under Mr. Sunday Dare is yet to act positively. So, all well-meaning Nigerians are implored to appeal to the Sport Minister to immediately bow to wisdom and allow the peaceful independence rally of Obi-dient Nigerians hold at the car park of the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos as requested by the Organisers to avoid unintended jam in Lagos tomorrow.”

Okunniyi assured Nigerians and the general public that the proposed march / mega rally would be very peaceful and orderly and warned the government against employing any tacit to instigate confusion.

He further said, “We as leaders of conscience in the Nigerian Civil Society and as Vanguard and Veterans of the assembly of the Nigerian peoples and masses, hereby wish to assure the Nigerian public that the Lagos independence march and the mega rally is planned to be very peaceful and orderly all things being equal, so government should avoid tacit instigation of confusion. The Organisers has assured us that the historic March and Mega Rally will hold as scheduled and announced tomorrow, commencing from 7am and we expect all Obi-dient citizens of Nigeria to turn out in large numbers.”

He noted that the group would release details about the itinerary and schedule of the march and rally later Friday.

'Tinubu gave us money, I apologise for my error of judgment' - Rev. Danjuma Byang

The Senior Pastor at Shekinah Global Ministries, Jos, Plateau State, Reverend Danjuma Banyang, has disclosed that the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, gave millions of Naira to the clerics that met with him in Abuja.

Last week, Tinubu met with over 100 Bishops of Northern extraction under the aupicises of Northern Pentacostal Bishops led by Arch. Bishop John Praise Daniel.

Recall that shortly after the meeting, it was rumoured that Tinubu, a Muslim from the southwest, bribed the clerics in a bid to win the support of Northern Christians following the backlash which followed his selection of Senator Kashim Shettima, a fellow Muslim from Borno State, as his running mate.

According to a story which circulated on social media, a source in the meeting said Archbishop Praise received the sum of N100 million, while other clerics got amounts ranging from N50, N20, N10, N5 and N1 million, depending on ranking.

However, one of the clerics has now publicly admitted to receiving monetary inducement from Tinubu.

Reverend Danjuma Banyang, the Senior Pastor at Shekinah Global Ministries, in a lengthy post shared in a WhatsApp group called "Blunt Truth", for which he is the admin, confirmed that all the clerics were given money by Tinubu.

He however, did not reveal how much he was given but said the money was tagged as "transport money".

"At the end, breakfast was served, with some campaign souvenirs, like towels, tea mugs, notebooks and some transport money to all attendants," he said.

However, following reactions after he admitted to being bribed by Tinubu, Reverend Banyang tendered an apology in another piece he posted.

He said it was an error of judgment on his part to have participated in the meeting and to have even collected Tinubu's money.

It read thus:

"Error of judgment"

"As soon as I reported the meeting here there was an outcry about it! Many called me personally to voice their concern and how this would be interpreted by the larger Body of Christ and Nigerians in general! I appreciate your love and maturity.

"For the many reasons advanced here and by those who reached out to me, it has occurred to me that this was an error of judgement on my part to have accepted to attend the meeting, and also on the part of the organizers!

"But I wish to correct some wrong impressions! The meeting did not take place at BAT’s campaign office but in a hotel. Also, it was not the group that invited BAT! He got in touch with Archbishop Praise John Daniel, the National Vice President of PFN, and therefore, the most senior PFN official in the North! Bishop Jonas Katung is also a National Advisory Council member of the PFN. They are well known and respected Christian leaders across this country and perhaps beyond! But given the reasons expressed here, they should have anticipated the backlash that would follow the meeting and rejected it!

"Brothers and sisters in Christ, this meeting was well intentioned but was obviously held in error of judgement, not anticipating the reactions that would follow! Some people have ascribed base motives for holding the meeting, knowing some of us involved, this is hardly charitable!

"But what has happened has given me and am (sic) sure the conveners some lessons learnt the hard way! I can promise you that none of such will happen again, and if it does I won’t be part of it.

"Can we then bury the hatchets now, please? At least on this platform! Thank you!"

Recall that barely two days after the clerics met with Tinubu the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) disowned the ‘Pentecostal Bishops’ Forum of Northern Nigeria.

The Deputy National Secretary of PFN, Bishop David Bakare, said such group does not exist within the PFN, saying, “there is nothing in PFN that is regional based like Southern or Northern Pentecostal Bishops.

“The PFN was not part of the meeting with the presidential candidate that was highly politicised. We are, however, aware of the ripples in the public domain about this matter. I am speaking officially to clarify that PFN has nothing to do with that,” he stated.

Continuing, Bakare said: “The PFN is an arm of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and the position of the fellowship on the same faith presidential ticket of the APC has not changed. I am speaking to you officially and authoritatively that the ranks of the Christian community and of course, the PFN, which I represent, is not broken at all.

“The Pentecostal Bishops’ Forum of Northern Nigeria is not known to the PFN. The forum does not have any affiliation or relationship with the PFN that is registered with the government of this nation. The position of the PFN on same faith ticket still stands as it was in the beginning and we have not, for any reason, shifted our position on that matter.

A netizen identified as Ozo Nna Nyere, said Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson of the APC presidential campaign council, has been shouting “when jungle mature”, now that the race has started, the lion of the jungle is nowhere to be found.

He said:

“Festus Keyamo @fkeyamo has been shouting "When jungle mature" when the campaign has not started. now jungle don mature and the animal that claimed to be the lion has ran out of the jungle.”

Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the APC, is being dragged by Nigerians on Twitter who want to where the state of things with the former governor.

Nigerians' demands for Tinubu's whereabouts followed a response by the former national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole when he said on live TV that he was not sure if Tinubu is in Nigeria or not.

Tinubu, who is nicknamed the lion of Bourdellon, was satirically referred to as the lion who left the jungle when it gets mature, which literarily means he was nowhere to be found when campaigns officially started.

Some Nigerians have taken to their social media to ask for the whereabouts of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu.

Tinubu, who was recently reported to be having a secret meeting in the United Kingdom, was expected to have started rolling the ball as the 2023 presidential campaign kick started.

Bola Tinubu/APC/2023 presidential election/2023 presidential campaign
Nigerians knock Tinubu for slow start of presidential campaign.

On Wednesday, September 28, for former national chairman of the APC, said on a live broadcast that he was not sure if Tinubu is in Nigeria or not.

This has generated the question, “where is Tinubu?” on Twitter, a microblogging, begging for answers from the ruling party.

A netizen identified as Ozo Nna Nyere, said Festus Keyamo, the spokesperson of the APC presidential campaign council, has been shouting “when jungle mature”, now that the race has started, the lion of the jungle is nowhere to be found.

He said:

“Festus Keyamo @fkeyamo has been shouting "When jungle mature" when the campaign has not started. now jungle don mature and the animal that claimed to be the lion has ran out of the jungle.”

Legit.ng earlier reported that Bola Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the APC, has been reported to be sowing the seed of discord in the ruling party over the party's presidential campaign council.

The presidential hopeful was reported to have singlehandedly reviewed the list that was generally agreed upon and made some changes by removing some names and adding another.

Tinubu allegedly removed the name of the wife of the former senate president, Margeret Okadigbo, who President Muhammadu Buhari has nominated to be the southeast coordinator of the campaign.

Ahead of the 2023 elections, the Middle Belt Forum on Wednesday, adopted the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi as their candidate.

The forum equally said it was throwing its weight behind Obi’s candidature because of its belief in “fairness, equity and justice."

This was disclosed by chairman of the Forum and Convener of Middle Belt for OBIDATTI 2023, Dr. Pogu Bitrus, while unveiling Peter Obi and Yusuf Datti as their candidate for the 2023 presidential election at the Rwang Pam Township Stadium, Jos, Plateau State Capital.

Bitrus said, “We are here to tell Nigerians that the Middle Belt is fully in support of Peter Obi for the 2023 presidency.

“We did not just arrive at this point because of sentiment, but it was after a serious consideration of issues in Nigeria in collaboration with the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the Afenifere and the Niger Delta Forum, among other socio-cultural groups in the country.

"We believe in the zoning which we started in 1999 that produced the President from the South West. It is good for us because of the issue of equity, justice and fairness.

According to him, “This time around, we have a President from the North and by 2023 Buhari would have spent 8 years, and it is the turn of the South.”

In his remarks, the LP Presidential candidate, Obi urged Nigerians to pray for a peaceful election and pledged to provide security to protect Nigerians.

“We want to tell you that 2023 is nobody’s turn, it is your turn to take back Nigeria.

“As we start campaign today, I want you to put Nigeria into prayers, I want you to pray for a peaceful election, I want you to pray for a free and fair election because the suffering is too much.

According to him, “Now that the campaigns have started, they will come to share your money, that money is your own and that is why you are hungry, that is why there is no food, that is why there is no security, that is why there is no employment.

"But we are assuring you, we are coming to tackle hunger in Nigeria, we are coming to provide security.”

He assured the crowd that they will match words with action if elected into office come 2023, saying the era of giving excuses and blame game is over.

In his address, the Convener of Initiative for Better and Brighter Nigeria (IBBN), Prophet Isa El-Buba urged the citizenry to reject those who have made huge sacrifices with their blood and resources and urged them to vote for Peter Obi to take back their inheritance.

He urged the people to collect their PVCs and vote massively for Peter Obi, saying that the Middle Belt and the North will mobilize their support to win the presidency.

E go pain you die if Tinubu still con win the election... anyway nha so e go happen

There is uneasy calm in Lagos over the proposed October 1st rally for Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, Daily Trust can report.

The rally is being planned to hold at the Lekki Tollgate, the epicentre of the #EndSARS rally, among other venues, which rocked the state and other parts of Nigeria in 2020.

The proposed rally is generating tension in Lagos as the supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are planning a counter-rally.

Both are said to be working round the clock to stage the counter rally amidst fear and apprehension over a possible breakdown of law and order in the state.

Already some lawyers loyal to Tinubu, who is a former governor of the state, have filed a suit at the Federal High Court in Lagos to stop LP, its candidates, and supporters from holding the rally tagged, "#Obidatti23 Forward Ever Rally".

The motion for the injunction is to be heard today (Wednesday) by Justice Daniel Osiagor, who fixed the date last week after taking arguments from the parties on the mode of service of court processes, among others.

Despite the court process, sources told our correspondent that both parties are already warming up for the rally and counter-rally.

When contacted yesterday, the Police Public Relations Officer, Mr Benjamin Hundeyin, did not respond to our correspondent's inquiry.

However, a public affairs analyst, Comrade Achike Chude, in a chat with our correspondent, cautioned that a counter-rally would be a "recipe for chaos and disorder."

1. A small bag and/or backpack (especially backpack so your hands can be free).

2. Bottle or Sachet Water for hydration.

3. Hat or sunglasses or fez caps.

4. Handkerchief or face towel and wet wipes (baby wipes).

5. Wear suitable clothes that are not too tight, warm (if it gets hot) or too exposed (if it gets cold).

6. Comfortable walking shoes not heels or slippers that can cut easily.

7. Charge your phone fully before coming and get a power bank. You cannot afford to be offline when others are posting live pictures.

8. Some cash, small change and your debit card. Put each in a different pocket or bag. You might need to buy something.

9. Your ID card and a note with your next of kin or important persons to call in case of emergency. Write down any allergies if you have, blood type and phone number of your personal doctor if you have.

10. A pack of Panadol, paracetamol or other pain relief tabs or other medications that you are taking. If you are asthmatic, carry your inhaler, if diabetic carry your insulin, if you have high blood pressure carry your drugs.

11. For women extra hair bands or rubber bands to tie your hair, wig or braids. Please visit the salon before the rally. Dirty hair + sweat will cause itching & irritation, not to talk about some smelly hair or wig.

12. Nylon (polyethylene) raincoat in case it rains. Umbrella if possible but it might get lost if not used.

13. Flags or banners of your choice to be made before arriving at the venue. You might forget what you intended to inscribe if you do it at the venue.

14. Ladies should carry extra tampons or pads and small pack tissue paper. (E get why �). Carry scarf or small wrapper in case you get stained.

15. Small snacks you can eat for energy as you walk like gala, chocolate bars, meat pies, biscuits, apples etc.

16. Hand sanitizer cos you will touch a lot of people you don't want to get an infection.

17. Get a new memory card for your phone. You will take lots of pictures and videos. This will fill up your memory very quickly.

18. Load your phone with airtime and data. You will make calls and use social media. You may need to make an emergency call too.

19. Get at least one walking buddy. Do not walk alone! You will need someone to snap pictures with your phone (strangers can run away with your phone). You need someone to lean on when you're tired and someone who can walk at a similar pace with you if you are exhausted. Do not break away from your partner. You can get lost easily in a crowd.

20. Do not crowd each other. Give at minimum an arm's length gap between you and the person in front of you. This is important as air circulation is very necessary. If you are below 4 feet tall, do not put yourself tightly in the middle of people. You could suffocate.

22. Please bath or shower, brush your teeth, chew mint gum and use *DEODORANT or BODY SPRAY* before coming out. Body odor and mouth smell can be very offensive. There will be lots of singing, shouting and screaming. Personal hygiene is critical. Don't kill people with an offensive smell.

23. Do not shout or blow your trumpet into people's ears, spit into people's faces as you talk or clean your sweat and flick it to others.

24. Do not go with your PVC; Keep your PVC at home while embarking on the march to avoid stories that touches heart. There are chances that you might lose it on transit.

25. Pray before leaving your house for a peaceful and safe rally.

Alpha Beta Consulting was awarded a contract by the Lagos State Government when Tinubu was governor of the state after a recommendation by a committee comprising the then Attorney-General of Lagos State, Prof Yemi Osinbajo (now the Vice President of Nigeria); Mr Wale Edun, then Commissioner for Finance; and a former Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Yemi Cardoso.

Former Governor of Lagos State and National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has court cases around massive frauds hanging on his neck as his supporters and proxies drum support for him for the 2023 presidency.

Checks by SaharaReporters revealed that the fraud cases against Tinubu dated as far back as 1998, raising questions on how the former governor struggled to delay the axe of the law.

The APC leader has yet to come out officially to declare any 2023 ambition, although many of his godsons are already in the forefront of negotiations across stakeholders, first in the South-West region.

On February 18, 2009, SaharaReporters obtained original copies of a judgment in the case of United States versus Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in which Tinubu was charged (along with other defendants) in a case of massive drug trafficking and money laundering.

The court process was still on when on October 27, 2020, hoodlums burnt the documents during the riotous #EndSARS violence in the state.

The court papers stating charges brought against Tinubu, his tax consultancy firm, Alpha Beta Consulting, by a former MD, Dapo Apara, were burnt according to claims by Tade Ipadeola, Apara’s lawyer.

“Everything in Igbosere High Court got burnt including the registrar’s copy of our application. In fact, the whole building was burnt to ashes. So, we will have to file again. The registry has been moved to Ikeja.

“We may have to file the case afresh at the Ikeja High Court but we have not yet been instructed to do so,” he said on October 27, 2020.

Apara had claimed in the documents that Tinubu, suspiciously diverted N22,360,000,000 and $4,396,063 from the firm’s account to that of Vintage Press Ltd, publisher of The Nation Newspaper.

In writ of summons marked LD/7330GCMW/2020 deposed at a Lagos High Court, Apara, who claims to own a 30 per cent stake in the company, alleged that the former governor reneged on certain agreements reached in the past about the management and control of the consulting firm.

Other fronts used by Tinubu, according to the former Alpha Beta boss, are Olumide Ogunmola and Tunde Badejo.

In his statement of claim, Apara said during a review of the company’s account, he discovered that huge sums of money earned by the company over the years were not reflected in its account.

He also revealed how Tinubu used the Osun State governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, as a front for the establishment of the firm.

Alpha Beta Consulting was awarded a contract by the Lagos State Government when Tinubu was governor of the state after a recommendation by a committee comprising the then Attorney-General of Lagos State, Prof Yemi Osinbajo (now the Vice President of Nigeria); Mr Wale Edun, then Commissioner for Finance; and a former Commissioner for Economic Planning and Budget, Yemi Cardoso.

The firm was subsequently given exclusive rights to collect taxes on behalf of the Lagos State Government and was believed to receive about 10 percent commission from the revenue it collected for the state.

However, pro-transparency groups and opposition politicians had constantly alleged that Tinubu owned Alpha Beta even though his name was not on any of the company’s documents.

Although both Tinubu and Alpha Beta denied the allegations, they had to provide counter-evidence as the former governor’s cronies continue to work on his perceived 2023 presidential ambition.
