Obogidi:
As he said he is going to return back the fuel subsidy, he has been gaining momentum,
What if he wins?

Its just a bait being used by a desperate man to achieve success during his last shot at presidency.

Nobody will become president,see how much he will achieve without subsidy and return it.

He would rather maintain it and put the blame on Tinubu(Mind you,buhari actually removed the fuel subsidy shortly before he left government)

Judolisco:
Tinubu dey use jazz for opposition... Every election cycle they don't talk about anything else... Certificate, Age, Family... Someone even said he is from guinea bissau... Someone said he is a CIA and FBI agent.... Lol

Is this how to campaign, by saying someone who has been a Senator, governor for 8 years, president for 3 years is not qualified for office.... Which office, office that he has been occupying since 1992?

I was against buhari when he was running for office because if his age but I never even cared about his educational qualifications... He was a general, he has been a governor, Head of state... Which qualification una dey ask for again....

The opposition is not serious, there are a lot of things to campaign with only atiku is getting it right now by saying he'll bring back fuel subsidy... Others still dey chase shadows

Others like OBI doesnt have alternative policy except "I will cut the cost governance".
Tell him how,he will start saying "NAANU".

aworatak:
Age wise he is more deserving and worthy of it.
I also like the way the ooni abstained from making an issue out of it.

No matter how young a king is ,he is still the king over him.

He is no longer ther president

Mrexcell:
Obi not been ur regular transactional politician doesn't in any way make him a bad leader get that into ur corrupted brains okay.

You OBI supporters are so delusionsal.

It was transactional politics that brought him so far from APGA to PDP to LP to NDP.

In NDC,the transaction he made was to trade yesufu Aisa and co ambitions for his own personal ambition.

The tendency of Igbos to bring down others just to elevate their own.

Goo0dHardDick:
This is exactly why if you haven't slept with a woman, it's clearly obvious you have never started anything serious with her and of course she won't take you serious either.

Women hold sex in extremely high regard and because of this, they carefully choose the guys they give their bodies to.

However, revised is the case for men. After sex, a man decides whether to date you or not, whether to take you serious or not! This simply means, a man Will never take you serious as a woman if he hasn't slept with you.

You are right

Saudi is not Islam

Not wearing Hijab is not emancipation-In some part of the country women are still be inherited like property.In some part of the country,women are still not entitled to inheritance!


That Saudi Princess will not be forgiven by Allah because she was a saudi princess.

what's the essence of this to us ? when fuel is still high, dollar is still high, cost of living is still high, minimum wage is rubbish, Nigerians are hungry etc no be statistics we go chop

Ask an economist,they will cure your Ignorance

Darekiki:
Tinubu really worked on the economy to generate funds. Which I know he is good at doing. But brought in politics to destroy everything by releasing funds for governors and political friends, while those hungry lions kept milking the nation.
People are saying seyi Makinde is good
He tried but also disappointed with abandoned local government roads to various areas since Akala tenure.
Well we can't have a perfect government but abandoned roads to various neighborhoods is disheartening. Bcus nobody will tell you to avoid some areas by the time mechanics open shop for your head.

Whether to release funds to governor or not is beyond Tinubu power.Its statutarily sanctioned.
Any money in FAAC must be shared according to the constitution.
How many times will we explain this to people.
He cant just spend it anyhow!

Peliman:
Makinde will play the spoiler anything to truncate the plan of reinforcing the failure in Aso Rock come 2027 is welcome 💯 percent.

These set of opposition supporters are the most delusional of all since 1999

Here's The Summary You Need:

FG under Yar'Adua implemented a new salary structure for healthcare workers. States had flexibility on full or partial implementation.

Peter Obi chose partial implementation, so that he could invest more funds on improving healthcare infrastructure and service delivery.

Doctors disagreed. They wanted a 100% salary increase for themselves.

PO agreed to a 60% salary increase, so the state could invest more money on healthcare infrastructure and services. Doctors insisted on a 100% salary increase and went on strike.

PO couldn't do both at the same time, so he prioritized investing in infrastructure and service delivery, because the healthcare system was crumbling. He proceeded to renovate and upgrade facilities of mission-owned hospitals, schools of nursing, schools of midwifery, dental clinics, and schools of health technology. The schools got their accreditations within this period, and mission-owned hospitals were functioning effectively.

This is why, despite the 13-Month strike, healthcare service delivery in Anambra continued to function normally.

Excellent job. This is a leader whose number 1 priority is the people.

It was a lie
He has the capability of full implementation.
He just wanted to loot the rest.

Most of his brothers working under FG will never agree with Tinubu to do partial implementation under the guise of investing others in the health sector.

Most unreasonable excuse they give for Peter OBI poor governance will never be tenable to them of its done be someone else

The only problem of Ndume is that he doesnt have the ears of the president!

Where was this Alimanjiri when buhari chaired his own campaign in 2019




The whole controversy over a candidate chairing his own campaign doesnt make any sense!


He is the chairman not the DG

I am a Tinubu supporter but I hate Onannuga or whatever.


He gives people unnecessary relevance.


When Atiku replies,he will attack the president not him.

Atiku will just be feeling himself while attacking the president as if them be mate

seunmsg:
If not for bigotry and utter lack of patriotism, no sane person should listen to this dude and still want him to lead a very diverse country with multiple challenges like Nigeria. You must hate the country so specially to want this guy as president. Sigh!

Honestly!
So shallow!

UkoAnnang:


Let him support Bola from his grave

I pray for wisdom for his daughter

I swear with almighty God Peter OBI will never become president with you people cruel mentality.

Do you even know how many peter OBI supporters that have died a more miserable death?

Helinuse:
He was sick.
He had a terminal illness.
There is absolutely nothing anyone could have done for him,
Other than giving him the succor and support he needed at that time.

Apart from that, you could call his APC to support him as he supported them.

You were making sense until you brought political pain and frustration to your submission.

Many english nollywood movies actors that supported Peter OBI have died even more than in yoruba own in the last 3years,yet being a supporter of your God Annointed candidate couldnt save them from the claw hands of death talkless of the one you claimed was a demonic or devilish candidate.

AMINDA:
Are those revenues going into these areas under Tinubu currently or they are being given to governors? Why has only 5% of the budgeted sums on roads in the last three being released and why are local contractors still protesting for their unpaid monies? Why is Tinubu running 3 budgets concurrently and why is he still borrowing?

A simple prompt sent to ChatGPT will clear all this your confusion,if you are ready to learn anyway

Okonjo Iweala knows better

Who you be?


You wey be OBJ left over Olosho

byinks:
Exactly the point.

So Why has current borrowing exceeded and broken all past records ?

Because we are now more financially buoyant to borrow.

Macroeconomics and public finance are branches of knowledge. You dont use common sense to reason am.

The fact that we are no longer paying subsidy doesn't mean we still dont have budget deficit.

Just ask ChatGPT,Gomini,Grok or whatever "IS MONEY SAVED FROM SUBSIDY REMOVAL ENOUGH TO COVER FOR OUR ANNUAL BUDGET DEFICIT OR INFRASTRUCTURAL DEFICIT??"

This CHATGPT Answer



Short answer: No — the savings from fuel-subsidy removal are not enough to cover Nigeria’s overall annual budget deficit, let alone the country’s enormous infrastructure deficit.

There is an important distinction between “money saved” and “money available for new spending.”

1. How much did subsidy removal save?

The World Bank originally projected that removing the petrol subsidy would generate about ₦2 trillion in fiscal savings in 2023, rising to more than ₦11 trillion cumulatively by the end of 2025.

More recently, the government has put the cumulative resources mobilised from subsidy savings between June 2023 and December 2025 at around ₦15.8 trillion.

That sounds enormous, but compare it with Nigeria's fiscal requirements.

2. Compare it with the budget deficit

For 2026, the federal government's fiscal plan projected:

Total expenditure: ~₦54.5 trillion

Expected revenue: ~₦34.3 trillion

Budget deficit: ~₦20.1 trillion

Debt servicing: ~₦15.9 trillion


So even using the government's ₦15.8 trillion cumulative subsidy-savings figure, it is less than one year's projected ₦20.1 trillion federal budget deficit.

And there is an even bigger issue: the ₦15.8 trillion is cumulative over roughly 2½ years, whereas the deficit is an annual figure.

3. What about infrastructure?

This is where the answer becomes an even stronger no.

Nigeria's infrastructure requirement is measured in tens of trillions of naira over many years, covering:

roads and bridges

electricity generation/transmission

rail

water supply

healthcare

schools

housing

irrigation

ports

digital infrastructure


Therefore, subsidy savings could make a meaningful contribution to infrastructure, but they cannot realistically finance Nigeria's entire infrastructure gap.

4. So where did the savings go?

This is the crucial point.

The savings did not simply sit in a government account waiting to be spent on roads and hospitals.

Nigeria's fiscal position remains under significant pressure from debt servicing, government expenditure and other obligations. In July 2026, the Finance Minister said that savings from subsidy and foreign-exchange reforms had been largely absorbed by higher debt-servicing costs and increased government expenditure.

There was also a transparency problem: the World Bank reported in 2025 that NNPCL had been remitting only about 50% of the gains from subsidy removal to the government account at that point.

The simplest way to put it

Think of it this way:

> Subsidy removal stopped a major financial leak; it did not suddenly make Nigeria a rich country.



The reform substantially improved government finances and increased fiscal space. Reuters reported in August 2026 that the government views the reforms as having helped stabilise public finances and strengthen foreign reserves.

But Nigeria still has:

low revenue + huge recurrent expenditure + enormous debt service + budget deficits + massive infrastructure needs.

So if someone argues:

> “The government removed fuel subsidy and saved trillions, therefore that money alone should have been enough to eliminate the budget deficit and fix Nigeria's infrastructure.”



That argument is not supported by the numbers.

A more accurate criticism would be:

> “Subsidy removal created substantial fiscal savings, but the government has not converted those savings into infrastructure and improved public services on a scale commensurate with the hardship imposed on citizens.”



That is a much stronger and more defensible argument.

NaijaNaWaa:
Brilliant take on fuel subsidy by Peter Obi. The separation of subsidy removal from the subsequent mismanagement of the gains is pure genius.

Atiku goofed irreversibly.

Mismanagement by who?
How??

This werey na clout chaser normally .

Take away emotions and sentiments aside and properly listen to this clown.

You'll see fear, incompetence, confusion, inexperience, shallow mindedness in every of his utterances.


For me, anybody but Obi

The guy doesnt even get sense.He only bambooze his follower with a very pedestrial arguements.He talks as if money saved from fuel susbidy belongs to just the president.Statutarily,whether any president likes it or not,it belongs to the federation which include the FG,SG and LG.He cant unilaterally determine how it will be spent.It is constitutionally sanctioned.The PHCs he evn talked about is under the purview of the LGs not the FGs.

epainos:
He makes sense, but still I know he isnt the person to lead Naija. He is only pretending.

Peter Obi is so funny. He wants to invest proceeds from subsidy in our health care system because according to him, it is the most important sector decaying presently. Yet, under the same Obi's watch as a governor of Anambra, doctors went on strike for more than 1 year. Sowore pointed it out. Lol.

No be juju be that? Man wey no send health, suddently send am cos he wan talk his way to Aso Rock.
