Does this signal the end of the feud?

President Tinubu has now given legal basis for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Thank you Mr. President. He has a right to fair hearing no matter how aggrieved we feel.

Asiwaju

Thank you for we know that you will soon release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Even if the government thinks that he is guilty, please let the courts determine that.

As per 2027, it is in the hands of the unknown elements. The same ones who did 2023.

Is a Permanent Secretary a Civil Servant?

Lol

Lol

A man who already won his 2nd term last year? You guys just won't read but rush to comment nooonsense on public fora.

easyfem:
I can see that useless ondo state gov there ….. he is so passionate abt his second time than to stop the killing of his pple by herdsmen

Qatar nkor?

Ezeama400:
No Islamic country?

Clam down bro.

1. If it is being smuggled out of Nigeria, that is an act that is illegal. Does it not mean that, even though it is an export, it is undocumented and this has NO VALUE for Nigeria?
2. The duty of givernment is not just to set up refineries as cosmetic possessions but to guarantee stability of supply. When you have arbitrary export of what is supposed to be a national product, you risk instability on the demand and supply side.
3. Illegal exports fuel insecurity.

MEEVEET:
So if Nigeria is not paying subsidies again so why stop people from transporting petrol to other African countries?

This explanation makes no sense

Something is cheaper in your country but you are stopping your people from selling it to other countries?

I don't understand the connection. Does being the presidemts son truncate his judgments or does being a president's son mean that his business associations must be failures? Are you suggesting that the president's sin cannot be or part own a company with capacity?

moshino:
And the contract was awarded to a company owned by tinubu's son, and tinubu friend's son, without due process. A brand new company that never built 10 km road previously, and without open bids from other companies. You don't see anything wrong with it?

Sometimes I think that the problem is with some of you guys. A poor understanding of how things work usually drive these kinds of talks. Because I do not understand how strange this is hitting you coming from the Chairman of a political party. What do you expect from the leader of a political.party really? Maybe you need to have your expectations realistically calibrated. Otherwise, why are you not also asking him to weigh in on the issues of drug abuse in Nigeria's youth, the crash of CBEX, Nigerias poor failing at World Cup qualifiers, the prevalence of online prostitutes. Etc. A party chairman discusses politicis and you are here writing that he should discuss security as a priority. Is he now your IG, or DSS DG, or NIA Boss or Commissioner of Police or the Army Chief?

nwakibie3:
Thun.der fire Gaduje. So of all the problem facing this country this idiot is here playing partisan politics. Look at the killings in benue and plateau, that one doesn't concern them. His concern is who will join Apc. Thu.nder fire him again

At no time will any project of this scale not evoke questions, complaints and condemnation (in some cases). This is where the will of vision sets in - one that looks beyond tofay to the future. America built roads all over the huge mass of land - they looked ahead and didn't import these little, though valid sentiments, into what would be the I-10, I-20s of today. If you look at the vast road network of the US, you will see and understshd why this is as needed as advertised. We can't only be living for now or be working like locomotives - looking for perfection. Imagine all the states that this road is crossing through and how it it will impact logistics in 10 years time if I can do Calabar in 6 hours from Lagos. It's bigger than these issues you raise.

PlasmaTV:
While the Lagos/Calabar coastal road would be an interesting sight, I have many problems with it:

1) The government should first tidy up federal roads and make them drivable and safe. I've been to many parts of this country, and our federal roads are a deathtrap. Roads should be easily drivable, without senseless potholes.

2) Will this road be completed on time? I have a strong feeling that this road will eventually be a white elephant project that won't be completed in the next 10 years. Investing billions on a long stretch of road while the existing ones are an eyesore is ridiculous to me.

3) Why wasn't this project bid for? Why was it awarded without other construction companies submitting their bid? Sounds very tyrannical and impulsive. For a project this large, and this expensive, there should have been a fair bidding process.

4) Why are we spending so so so much on a road, when we have other more pressing issues? An estimated cost of more than 3tr is to be spent on this road. Why? Why not spend same money on kickstarting 24/7 electricity? Why not invest it in interstate security, so that kidnapping would be a thing of the past? Why not spread the money across other more important projects?

So many questions, so little answers. I have many reservations.

PS: Please respect your family name and don't drag tribalism or stupidity into this. If you wanna argue, engage the use of your brain. Selah

Lol. Who is sponsoring Val?

O my, these guys are incurable.

15T in 8 years!!!

MakindeHassan:
It’s people like you that have the small mind honestly. N15tn on a road in 2025? If you do not fix production and have stable policies to attract investment, a road will not perform magic to boost your economy. If you like build the most beautiful road in the world, if your production is not active then it is useless.

Dubai did not start building roads when they discovered oil. They invested in more strategic ventures and the profit built the roads. We are borrowing money to build road that we cannot maintain. Hope you realize that road will require maintenance every 5-10 years and we already have highways we cannot maintain. A heavy rail line would have even made more sense.

Do you know how many other things we could invest N15trillion that would bring in yields? If BAT knows one secret about how this road will bring on trillions to the economy let him tell us. Transparency is key if you want people to see your vision.

Anambra will join mainstream in November.

While significant legislative progress is being made in the 2 chambers, we are here consistently hit by useless news and info. The courts should settle this and a media black out invoked for this nonsense drama.

- Because certain components of Arms are under the FG, it would have been impossible to achieve a solid hybrid plan including men and machines.

Otherwise, you do not need a million men to guard your forests - the so called advanced qorld do not do that. They achieve that with:
- digital footprints management
- sound records
- enhanced technologies and
- well integrated security forces and systems.

Military grade drones, and satellite are enough to cover the entire south south of Nigeria which is not even up to half of Texas.

Congratulations Gov. Akpakominza.

But if you watched the video, she said that she was removed from the senate committee chair because she alleged that Akpabio said she was "favoring the north". Where is the sexual harassment calim in that?

Maybe you didn't watch the video.

You clearly lack understandingof the procedure and the letters issued by INEC.

TOTAL LACK OF UNDERSTANDING

kelly72:
By the provision of law, every signature on that list must have a name, address and phone number and these details must tally with the details on the voter register for the constituency concerned. They know some of you are starkly ignorant and that's why they proceed with impunity.

Only about 20 people sat to sign those 250,000 signatures, that's why they had no time to copy the addresses and phone numbers. Again, if they put phone numbers, the fraud will quickly cast.

Nigeria is presently in the hands of an armed robbery syndicate.

Do you even know what it means for something to be criminal?
What kknd of silly talk is this? You people don't read. That's the main problem here. The same Trubune finished their CAC response with: CAC does NOT register political groups or pressure groups' so what were they looking into the CAC for?

ClearFlair:
This is criminal. So who are the people doing these criminal things?

I have not encountered more witty brilliance than this on Nairaland!

Perfectbeing:
He should have followed the populist line. It's simple. Just ask Cardoso to issue N20trn in ways and means. Mop up lower denominations of the currency and issue 5k, 10k, and 20k notes.

Leave the interest rate and blast the money on fuel subsidy. Ask JP Morgan for more funds, and use NLNG as collateral to defend the Naira, sell more oil in the futures market. Maintain the fuel price and FX rate. If the black market hits N4,000, let it be so as long as the official rate is N500. If we default on payment of our loan obligations, let everyone face the consequences. Tell NNPC to provide 6 months of fuel supply stock and manage 6 months of scarcity and fuel queues.

Burn the reserves, nobody cares, let imports be scare, there is enough Naira to pay any amount for goods. Issue another ways and means and increase minimum wage. There is no need for any tax reform. Just continue to pump Naira at any cost into the economy. Redenominate the currency in 2026 like Ghana and remove 2 Zeros before the elections.

Check out after 8 years for the next person.

May it not beans too...

Atuero:
Nice step
Gradually the coalition is taking shape


Tinubu is a calamity and affliction shall not rice the second time......

Lol. Time waster

All that's needed.

Next: FG

Where next? Just to suppress her unruly conduct in the senate?

Why are you guys so ignorant? Was she suspended because of the sexual harassment allegation? Can't you guys just study, be solemn and understand issues before talking?

She submitted her petition to the committee and the committee was given 4 weeks to report back.

What is the connection between her suspension and this?

Mumusaphire:
That's fear hearing.. ... u can't just suspend her and move on as if nothing happened. Let both of them clear their names, let know who is saying the truth, not about renting crowds to protest.

I do not think that small minds understand the value of that project to Nigerias future with regards to travel, tourism, logistics and the vast business opportunities and social development that it will birth.

No state is owing salaries now I think.

Is there any state owing workers salaries? I'd like to know please.

And no more fuel subsidy payments to the cabal!

EXOUSIAng:
Jagaban na weyrey.
Now Obidients will understand what it means to let market forces control price.

In a few years we will have more refineries and they will be scrambling for supply, prices will crash.

He truly removed subsidy to protect the future of our children

What's your level of education? I don't have a dog in this fight but your comment is ultrasilly. Some of you, no matter the enlightenment you have, lack the capacity to learn. Otherwise, there is a global, public clarification been made but you are still unable to independently interrogate the facts.

Her petition is under investigation by tbe senate committee on Ethics and they have 4 weeks to submit a report. Her suspension and the reasons were clearly stated: her unruly conduct in the senate but people who will not earn 10 kobo from the fight for their communities block their heads from simple truths. I shake my head for una.

kingbee90:

See how grown ass men are telling lies. I thought they said they are not scared of Ipu.
Natasha was suspended because of the He-goat who tried to "screw" her but she refused.
No worry, evidence go soon begin fall out.

Knowing Nigerians, they will ask why you need a road like that when the roads are okay. Then people like you then would scream Mispalxe Priorities!

Tinubu should continue biko. People will ALWAYS have opinions, tested or not.

Zionmdde:
It's a beautiful project. The only downside of this project is the timing

at a time where akwa ibom to cross rivers is a deadly venture, Eleme Road is a death trap, Warri to benin something else, Imo to Anambra, PH to Imo is hell and so on and so forth, doing a project like this is a misplaced priority.

How many Nigerians will loose their lives on these highways before the coastal road is completed?. Assuming they focused on putting all federal highway in order, before venturing into the coastal raod, it would have been absolutely lovely
