Atiku got those votes from pdp not because of his popularity but due to PDP remaining influence!

Some important facts to buttress my points...

The day atiku left PDP for AD,he could only manage 2million votes as flagbearer despite being fronted by the then national leader of AD bola Tinubu.

The day Obi left PDP for LP,he singlehandedly got 6million plus votes from a relatively unknown party as flagbearer despite the suppressed figures!

The day Rabiu kwankwaso left apc to form his own party,he got a humongous 1.9m votes in Kano state despite suppression of votes!

If ADC really want to mount a serious opposition to Tinubu,the most assured combo is an Obi/kwankwaso ticket!

Anything less than that will ensure that apc and Tinubu wins the election even before voting starts!

I won't be surprised if the same source gives Tinubu the best president in Africa despite failing woefully in security,economy,health care and education!
If outsiders praise you more than your immediate family members,then something must be terribly and fundamentally wrong!

We heard the same thing in the last election!
However,that will only be possible if Atiku finds himself as ADC presidential flagbearer!

Okoyeeboz:
Yes
The losing mob thinks he's a political runs girl like hOeBI.

So your paymaster Tinubu who left SDP to AD must be a sophisticated political runs girl!

Most of your clergymen have been bought!
Once government officials show up with Ghana must go bags filled with millions,you instantly go quiet!

Totally agree!
Any sensible footballer should start learning how to invest those humongous funds or even start up a business at home!
Anything could happen to them ranging from career ending injuries to loss of form!
Football career of any player is probably a decade or more!
Not every ex player is going to be a soccer analyst or pundit with retirement salaries!
Make good use of the funds you are earning weekly!

meobizy:
Didn’t this man relocate to the US? Wetin concern am with Nigerian events? He should face his new environment.

So because he is outside the country he has no right to talk about the insecurity in his own country!
The way and manner some of you think on this platform is more than preposterous!

This should be more than enough to rank Nigeria as the most dangerous country to go to!
If NSA and most recently a top military personnel can make a case for these bandits and terrorists,then you just know that it could be anyone's turn!

Those who think it will never happen to them should take a good look at Kwara state today.
None of them ever predicted that a time will come when bandits and terrorists will chase them out of their ancestral lands!

Obakoolex:
You can't sight simple sarcasm

Sarcasm from an apc supporter?
Hell no

Ekaka14:
She got you there...now you'd learn to stay in your lane because if i know that girl,she's coming after you...since you no dey recognize sarcasm

I never knew she had a spokesperson on nairaland!
Nah today I know that one?
Abeg park well!

Cherrybae:

panpan:
Where is Tenerife?

An island in spain

More characters required!

Chai...
It took a deadly accident for changes to the made in the aviation sector!
People had to die before important changes were made in the sector....it's well!

Why use someone ethnicity or region to classify or tag them?
Very unfortunate on on a nairaland platform that should be preaching on oneness!

Even Tinubu know say una nor fit get up to 30k votes for APC

tunjijones:
He shd have told GEJ then, even if he listens or not, but it will be on record that obi adviced Jonathan about making aba an industrial hub which will generate money more than the oil and gas industry but Jonathan didn't listen.

The point is, they always have bright ideas when they are out of government.

Your highlighted unfortunately holds no water....in an advisory economic team, ideas may be proposed but only the president decides what gets funded,prioritised and implemented!

tunjijones:
Okay.

Why didn't you tell GEJ this while you were in his economic team?

This stale question makes no sense!
Just because you are in an economic team doesn't imply your ideas will be taken or even implemented!
And yes every raw material in Nigeria if properly harnessed and processed can generate revenues close to that of oil!

dam2000:
What of our own Cocoa that is once Nigeria resources

Every raw material in Nigeria if properly refined can make as much revenue as oil revenue!

One of them go don knack one curvy babe!
U can't cheat nature😁😁

ZombieTERROR:
Wike is the worst thing to happen to Nigerian political landscape


judiciary died because of this man
Now is the turn of traditional rulers

To be honest i dont blame wike entirely...i blame nigerians esp traditional rulers for selling themselves!

almost 4 years of this disastrous regime and they are still talking about Power reforms
My people your leaders don't rate or value you!

Be very afraid and worried!

President Bola Tinubu's administration has initiated a massive, nationwide road construction and rehabilitation program, heavily focusing on using reinforced concrete technology for durability and long-term value, targeting a 50–100 year lifespan. The Ministry of Works, under Senator Dave Umahi, is implementing these projects to improve connectivity across all six geo-political zones.

Here are key aspects of road construction under the Tinubu administration:

1. Major Legacy and Ongoing Projects
Sokoto-Badagry Superhighway: A massive 1,000-km-plus project connecting Nigeria's northern and southern regions, traversing Sokoto, Kebbi, Niger, Kwara, Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos. Construction began in 2024, with significant work in the Kebbi section using concrete paving.

Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway (Phase 1): Construction of a 47.7-km section in Lagos began in March 2024, with a planned completion for Phase 1 by May 29, 2025. This project aims to integrate rail transport and boost coastal trade.

Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano Dual Carriageway: Accelerated under the current administration, this 164-km project saw renewed funding and a target for completion to ease transport bottlenecks.
Abuja-Lokoja-Benin Road: Undergoing rehabilitation and dualization with concrete technology to ensure durability.
Oyo-Ogbomoso Road: A key project re-awarded to Messrs JRB Construction Co. Ltd. at N147.89 billion for completion in 2025.

2. Key Initiatives & Strategy
Concrete Technology: The administration has adopted rigid pavement (concrete) construction for major roads to tackle the poor condition of road networks and enhance sustainability.
Funding Mechanism: Projects are funded through various models, including tax credits (e.g., MTN for Enugu-Onitsha Expressway, BUA for Bode Saadu-Kaima-Kosubosu road) and public-private partnerships (e.g., Benin-Asaba superhighway).

Focus on Infrastructure: The federal government has expressed commitment to fixing critical roads nationwide to enhance food security, agriculture, and tourism.


3. Key Road Projects by Location
North: Akwanga–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe–Maiduguri road; Abuja-Kaduna-Zaria-Kano road.

South: Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway; Enugu-Onitsha Expressway; Benin–Asaba Superhighway; Third Mainland Bridge rehabilitation.

Which of these roads have been completed?
You can now move to the security section!

Like some one rightly said,elections have consequences!

As usual data boys will claim Obi has bribed Sowore to propagate fake news about Sunday igboho through SR😀😀

As usual,history repeats itself again no thanks to the greed and desperation of an Atiku that wants to be president by all means necessary!

He is the reason why PDP are at the point of death and it will be no different when he emerges as flagbearer for ADC!

One thing is sure,if it's between Atiku and Tinubu at the polls in 2027,the margin of victory that Tinubu will record against Atiku will be so wide and disgraceful....it will finally force him into retirement!

ADC have the opportunity of not following the footsteps of PDP!

Monthly allocations from the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) to Nigerian states have increased significantly. Total disbursements surged by approximately 30% in 2025 compared to 2024. States received over ₦6.73 trillion in the first 11 months of 2025, with monthly disbursements frequently exceeding ₦500 billion and rising, with a 7.18% increase noted in early 2026.

Key details regarding the increased allocations include:
Massive Growth: State allocations jumped from ₦3.58 trillion in 2023 to ₦5.81 trillion in 2024, representing a 62% increase, and continued upward in 2025.

2025 Monthly Trend: Monthly allocations to states reached peaks, such as ₦727 billion in September 2025, from lower figures earlier in the year.

2026 Outlook: January 2026 saw a net allocation of ₦703.26 billion to states, driven by higher oil prices and revenue initiatives.
Drivers: The increase is attributed to improved revenue, including higher oil prices, VAT growth, and exchange rate gains, particularly after the removal of fuel subsidies.

By Businessday NG

If the increase is attributed to the highlighted,then why does the FG constantly keep borrowing?
Can't the current windfalls in higher crude price assist in providing such funds?
That can be likened to a man that can afford to buy food but yet he can't help but borrow before he can eat!

You keep posting about improved revenue, including higher oil prices, VAT growth, and exchange rate gains, particularly after the removal of fuel subsidies but yet nothing trickles down to the common man in terms of purchasing power,reduced cost of living,easy access to proper health care and education.
This can be likened to a wealthy man with a fat bank account yet his wife and children are living in abject poverty!

Someone claimed Tinubu cleared some legacy debt but still collected more loans afterwards!
That's like paying off a debt of 50k and still collecting a loan of 400k!

Reno should also do well by fact checking his own comments before asking someone to do the same.

In 2020, Omokri claimed that former President Goodluck Jonathan met a total national debt of N7.9 trillion in 2010 and only borrowed N4.7 trillion during his tenure.

Fact-check verdict: False. Official Debt Management Office (DMO) figures showed the debt at the end of 2010 was around N5.23 trillion, not N7.9 trillion. His borrowing figure was also contested.

Very terrible!
You left your country due to hardship only to become a liability in another country.
You went to a country where most of your prayer points have been answered!
But instead of taking advantage like others to work legitimately,you turned to selling hard drugs.
Actions have consequences!

Just an observation....
Just noticed something about this thread...and other related drug threads.
When drugs offences are related to citizens from the South west,there isn't much engagement and such thread is hardly pushed to FP....however,when it's about other regions particularly the SE,there is this unfortunate generalization and fanfare.
Interestingly,the thread even gets pushed to FP with the speed of light!
Let me state here that I do not support any crime no matter where you come from...
However,crime or criminality has absolutely nothing to do with ethnicity or religion but the individual!
Trying to insert criminality with a certain region or belief is not only disingenuous but ruinous!
The owner of nairaland should ensure that it's long standing popularity among citizens doesn't collapse on account of this persistent and unnecessary stereotypes on this platform.

ufotunang:
.. what about sowore

Not reliable enough!
