owobokiri: All through Nigerias democratic history, the opposition parties have always been allowed to campaign and contest in elections, even if we end up with results that were flagrantly distorted. In the first and the second Republic, Nnamdi Azikiwe campaigned in the West, while Awolowo campaigned in the North, Sarduana campaigned in the South. In the 90s, MKO Abiola campaigned both in the East and the North, though he was from the Western part of the country, and his rival- Tofa did same in the East and West, though he was from the North.
Since the arrival of democracy in 1999, this country has never witnessed any sort of conflict as it regards a persistent attempt by the rulling party to utilise violence in stopping the opposition from participating fully in the democratic process. As imperfect as our politics has always been, this has not been a main problem. It is only since the arrival of Buhari and Tinubus APC that we started seeing this dangerous practice of thugs and hoodlums openly threatening the voters/opposition with maximum violence.
Since 1999, voters have never been as frightened as they are under this dispensation. Immediately the APC walzed in with their thuggish approach to politics, citizens of this country have been subjected to all sorts anti-democratic assaults. Folks have been bullied, beaten, harassed, and even killed. A notorious thug working for the ruling party, persistently threatened potential voters in Lagos based on ethnic profiling. And in all these, we have heard no noise nor serious reprimand from a comatose presidency. ..
Under Tinubus watch, Nigerians are being openly told that they can not vote in certain regions of the country, just because the overzealous"hosts/accomodators" have decreed so! It has never happened before. Not even during the "democratisation" processes under differnt military administrations. In all these, the utterly stunned security agencies stand with hands akimbo, doing absolutely nothing as the constitution is flagrantly desecrated.
This is a recipe for disaster! Why? Two can play this game. Other aggrieved sections of the country may decide to tow similar paths, and when other sections of the country start to reciprocate with similar behaviour, it might be too late to end the ugly pattern. This reprehensible trend needs to be stopped! Those whose politics are firmly rooted in tribalism, violence and sectionalism, should endevour to spare this country of their odious habits. We all don't see politics as a do or die affair..
The laws are clear; everyone has equal rights to participate in the democratic process in this country. What we have at Abuja is a presidency! It is NOT an "Oba" or an "Oni".. No one is going to be coronated a president of Nigeria! A president of Nigeria must be elected through free and fair elections.. so says the Nigerian constitution. Anything short of this, is a grand disservice to the democratic process and as such must be challenged..
The ruling party should call her wayward wards to order before this ignoble practice becomes the norm across the country, and ultimately unravel the democracy that was hard fought for..
Your first declaration was a big LIE.. How did this conjectures and half truth even hit thr front page.Nairaland shouldnt be misinforming the public.
Your lord and saviour Peter OBI prevented LP from using the stadium for Campaigns as governor.
Also,did you write this rubbish when APC city boy campaign was attacked in IMO state and other states by NDC thugs

Treasure17: Shey you see why you people are very unintelligent? The subject matter was about Tinubu but you somehow drafted Peter Obi into it? Is Peter your nightmare?
Is Tinubu the night mare of you and the OP?
This is politics section and Peter OBI the fraud is a politician,if you dont want his name to be mentioned in politics section he should join sabinus and co as content creators
So want me to make a dull man,lying and incoherent man like peter OBI the manager if my company Obi will be jumping fron one media Station to the other hyping himself when the company is in shamble!
The smart,rugged,bold strategist called Jagaban anytime.
I will sleep with my eyes closed!
I should abandon the brain behind LEKKI FREE TRADE ZONE(The fastest growing industrial cluster in Africa),LRI,Eko Atlantic and LAMATA,Lagos IGR Grower,Nigeria foreign reserve grower for an Hero béèrè legend.
MrBadNews: Anger won't change the reality on the streets.
While you're here screaming go to hell and telling people to shut up, the price of fuel and market items are hitting people's ribs every single day. Keep shouting online to defend a government whose failures you feel in your pocket too.
voortrekker966: If Peter Obi is found to have lied about this issue he should just honourably resign as a presidential candidate. We should be careful about a messiah personality in our politics after Buhari's failures.
The guy carries all the buhari vibes 1.zombeic followership 2.claim of integrity 3.Political cluelessness 4.Dullness 5.Poor oratory skill
EponObi: Lmaooooo... The facade is falling in real time.
If not that something is not right in the head, how could any sensible person, a politician and a former governor for that matter, stand on fake moral ground on debt. He calls himself a business man, but wants to posture as if he has never touched debt before or governments running their countries and states on debt are bad.
Even America, being the world's top superpower, runs her economy on debt. Today, the USA has over $40 trillion in debt and they keep accumulating more every single day.
It's only low thinkers that eat his lies about debt sha.
His Obidents have finally pushed him to where he no know. The sitting governor of the state you once governed for eight years said you left debt, you wan fight am. Someone who has access to every record tied to the state even before it was created? It must be ment.
Soludo is giving Obi and his Obidents a long rope. When he first started with the article, I knew he was planting a seed. I can guarantee you: he has more evidences. He will keep releasing them bit by bit and Obi being the clueless one will keep defending them, until the evidences are becoming overwhelming to even defend.
Look at this Tanko for example. He got boxed to a corner where there is no lie to cover the previous lies. Even Rufai, an open Obident, has no choice but not look away and scrutinize. Obi himself can't show face to defend himself unlike previous times. His only response so far has been his handover note that tells nothing because na wetin him write himself. Before, he would have jumped on a podcast or enter one TV studio.
I just pray that Obidents keep pushing this.
Even if any (emphasis on any) of the said debts was accumulated by the government before his, so far he left office without repaying, he left a debt. Saying he left Anambra state with no debt makes him liar. If Soludo leaves office and there are still unpaid debts that the governors before Obi accumulated, Soludo left debts. It's that simple.
You wan fight the current state governor and the CBN governor during your administration on issues about the state of finance of your tenure? Lmaoooo... You go see ojuju.
The establishment wan demystify Obi. That's very certain. All these expose started when campaign season kicked off. This won't be the end of it. I don kuku talk am before say Obi not having solid team will hurt him. Oya na.
MrBadNews: Comparing the public scrutiny of a sitting president who holds executive power, commands state resources, and makes policies affecting over 200 million lives to an opposition figure is completely unserious.
One is running the country, the other is a private citizen and political leader offering alternative views. Of course the weight and necessity of accountability cannot be the same.
And saying someone should keep his mouth shut for three months just because he points out economic realities? That is a straightup dictatorship mindset.
When current leaders were in opposition, they practically lived in the press criticizing every single policy.
Nobody told them to keep quiet then. If the administration's performance is actually stellar, no amount of speaking out from any opposition figure can stop the good results from showing on the streets. Let the governance speak for itself, not coming to social media to defend the cluelessness of this administration.
Both governance and mouth will Speak!
You people can go to hell.
If you dont want people to talk about peter OBI,tell him to shot the hell up of his mouth
AMINDA: You are right. He never did that. So explain why Oba Akiolu can be seen in the video below threatening to drown Igbos in the Lagoon. This was 11 years ago, by the way. Was Jimmy Agbaje also "Chinedu?"
OKOATA: Obi can enter the USA today, can Pbat do the same? Why's Tinubu fighting tool and nail to keep his records away? EFCC nor FBI have ever been on Obis case but your own messiah na wetin.
Mr Man face the topic and stop shifting goal post.
tommykiwi: Your Man should tender his Academic Records, from Primary School to University. Let us start from there first. Why Una dey always carry Peter Obi matter for Una head, whereby Una man have enough pending issues both in Nigeria and outside the country.
That have been started and is ongoing.Someone even gave millions of dollars to a scammer called ikemefuna von batten to do that in USA
OBI stimulated this particular conversation about himself,you cant gaslight us through your goal post shifting
MrBadNews: Nigeria would have turned to USA if the office of the President is been scrutinized like this.
We just wake up every day to the bulaba statistics BAT dishes out.
Abi my people how Una take see am
The office of the president is being scritunized everyday! Just 5% of that is being done to someone who claim that he is better than the president and you are crying. By;the way,he invited the scrutiny. Let him keep his mouth shot for just 3 months and see if anybody will even remember that he exists
Kukutente23: The only point I could make from your rants is that Chinese are coming to completely take over all Lagos. Unfortunately you're thinking very shortsighted that it will affect only a certain part of the country. That's what tribalism does to the brains. It shuts down proper reasoning and even when you're being harmed you enjoy it as well as the object of your hate is also going through same harm. Such a pity
If chinese is coming to take over Lagos,Why should that be an Igbo man headache??
Will they take over OBA palace or SG secretariat??
Rootprof: Olaiya that Nollywood actor come to my mind. The guy went to the extent of naked just to be noticed by Tinubu. Where is he today sef. Like I said people will join many party codedly or openly just to collect money, people love free things and APC is trying in sharing inorder to retain the presidency.
Olaiya is alive and well!
Mr Ibu collected peanuts to kiss Peter OBzi the fraud ass,where is he today??
Worldinchaos: Non of these presidents dey acknowledge us. I don't even know if they'll recognize our presido in international conferences sef. Our own keeps traveling, but no president comes to visit us.

_Excerpt: Under the leadership of His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, the Renewed Hope Agenda has moved from promise to implementation, delivering measurable results in security, health, governance, and Nigeria's global standing._
Every great nation is built on a clear plan, not on chance. When His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, unveiled the Renewed Hope Agenda, some dismissed it as mere political rhetoric. Two years later, the evidence on ground suggests otherwise, with tangible progress across critical sectors.
The Renewed Hope Agenda is not a slogan. It is a documented national blueprint under the purposeful leadership of President Tinubu, guiding policy, budget, and governance across Nigeria. Its impact is already being felt within and outside the shores of the country, restoring confidence in government and governance.
At its core, the Agenda reflects the vision and experience of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, and is structured around 8 priority areas: Food Security, Poverty Eradication, Economic Growth and Job Creation, Access to Capital, Inclusivity, Rule of Law, and the Fight Against Corruption. These pillars have been systematically translated into budget lines, policies, and measurable programs. From policy formulation to tangible results on the streets and in communities, Nigerians are beginning to see the difference.
In the area of Food Security, strategic investments under the Renewed Hope Agenda in dry-season farming, fertilizer distribution, and support for smallholder farmers have begun to stabilize food supply chains. Special interventions in grains and livestock are aimed at reducing food inflation and making staple foods more affordable for families. This is a deliberate effort to ensure that no Nigerian goes to bed hungry.
On Economic Growth and Job Creation, reforms championed by President Tinubu in fiscal policy and the unification of the exchange rate were tough but necessary steps. They have restored investor confidence and strengthened the foundation for sustainable growth. The result is a renewed wave of local and foreign direct investment in manufacturing, technology, and infrastructure. New industrial parks and MSME support funds are creating opportunities for young entrepreneurs across the 36 states and the FCT, turning job seekers into job creators.
The Access to Capital pillar has produced one of the most visible youth-focused interventions in recent years. Student loan schemes through NELFUND, consumer credit, and single-digit loans for small businesses are ensuring that Nigerians who have viable ideas are no longer blocked by lack of funding. This is expanding financial inclusion and unlocking the creativity of our youth.
In Infrastructure and Connectivity, ongoing projects prioritized by the President Tinubu administration in roads, rail, ports, and energy are reconnecting the country. The focus is not only on initiating new projects, but on completing abandoned ones that had stalled for years. This is improving logistics, reducing the cost of doing business, and opening up rural communities to urban markets.
No development can happen without peace, and that is why Security, Health, and Grassroots Governance are central to the blueprint. Under President Tinubu, National Security has received renewed attention through increased funding for the armed forces, enhanced intelligence sharing, and community policing initiatives. The goal is to reclaim ungoverned spaces, protect farmers and travelers, and restore confidence for economic activities to thrive across the country.
In Health, the Renewed Hope Agenda is expanding access through primary healthcare revitalization, expanded health insurance coverage, and strategic investments in local drug and vaccine manufacturing. The aim is to reduce medical tourism and ensure that quality, affordable healthcare is available at the grassroots level.
Perhaps most significant for governance is the push for Local Government Autonomy. President Tinubu's administration is committed to strengthening LGAs as the closest tier of government to the people. With direct allocation of funds and greater administrative independence, LGAs are expected to deliver basic services in education, health, water, and rural roads more effectively. This is decentralizing development and bringing governance closer to citizens where it matters most.
Driving this national awakening and ensuring that the message of Renewed Hope reaches every ward is the Tinubu Support Organization, TSO Worldwide, under the stewardship of its visionary Founder and Director-General, Junior Jagaban, Honourable Aminu Suleiman. TSO Worldwide remains the first and foremost support group that stood firm with Asiwaju long before many others believed. Under the leadership of Honourable Aminu Suleiman, TSO has built a disciplined, grassroots structure across the 36 states and the FCT, and across continents worldwide, mobilizing youth, women, and professionals for the success of the APC and the Renewed Hope Agenda. The organization continues to serve as a bridge between government policies and the people, translating the blueprint into a language that every Nigerian understands.
A national blueprint must also restore a country's standing globally, and this is where the Impact Beyond Nigeria's Borders becomes clear. Through active diplomacy led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, Nigeria is reasserting its leadership in Africa and strengthening partnerships worldwide. Debt negotiations, trade agreements, and climate initiatives driven by this administration have positioned Nigeria as a credible partner.
Indeed, International financial institutions and development partners now reference Nigeria's reform agenda as a model for policy consistency and long-term planning in Africa. Nigerians in the diaspora are also being integrated into the development conversation through investment and skills transfer programmes.
What makes the Renewed Hope Agenda different is structure. This is why it is a Blueprint, Not Just Words. Under President Tinubu's leadership, it has clear targets, timelines, and a monitoring framework tied to the national budget. Ministries are held accountable to deliverables, and citizens can track progress through published data and project updates. Unlike slogans that fade after elections, a blueprint survives because it is institutionalized. It outlives personalities and guides the machinery of government year after year.
The Road Ahead requires patience, perseverance, and endurance. No nation transforms overnight. But the reforms underway under the Renewed Hope Agenda of His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, are already laying the foundation for a more productive, inclusive, and globally competitive Nigeria.
The Renewed Hope Agenda is a promise, but more importantly, it is a plan. A plan that is being implemented. A plan that is producing results in farms, factories, hospitals, communities, and in Nigeria's standing in the world.
