OkayDaddy:
Even your LP House of Reps member came out to share testimony on National TV when he met Tinubu just once.

Have you ever seen Ireti Kingibe follow Peter Obi to court in Abuja since she won?
That is the LP Senator in Abuja o.

I am still looking for the 'uproar' in the streets of Edo (obident camp).

Welcome to Twitter, where you get dragged for having a contrary opinion.

Maybe it’s better Tinubu is the President of Nigeria.

He is a very ruthless man, he will take a lot of decisions that Peter obi might not have the heart to take.

I love Peter Obi but I’m beginning to see things from a realistic point of view

Y'all need to STEP OUT of my DMs.

Yes, I supported Peter Obi. That doesn't mean I will not mention what Tinubu does well. I've said repeatedly: I don't do blind loyalty.

If PO messes up, I'll talk about it the same way as Tinubu. Good governance is the goal

President Bola Tinubu has directed the National Economic Council (NEC) led by Vice President Kashim Shettima to device an approach and begin the process of working on interventions to mitigate the impact of subsidy removal on the Nigerians.

Governor of Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, stated this after leading some major oil marketers on a courtesy visit to the President at the State House in Abuja.

Addressing correspondents after the meeting, Abiodun, who was a former chairman of the oil marketers association, stated that the marketers expressed solidarity with the President for removing the N4trn subsidy burden, a move that can enhance the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) allocation to states.

The group of marketers subsequently announced their intention to donate to 50 to 100, fifty-seater mass transit buses that would run on CNG, costing a N100m each and N10bn cumulatively, to cushion the effect of the removal within the next 30 days.

They are hoping other corporate bodies can emulate their action.

The President’s meeting with the oil marketers comes amid the controversy and protests trailing the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit known as petrol.

The President during his inaugural speech on May 29 at the Eagle Square in Abuja had announced the removal of subsidy payment on petrol. The President said that the immediate past administration of Muhammadu Buhari did not make provisions for subsidy in the 2023 budget beyond June.

Many Nigerians had expected that the new price regime would come into effect by July 1 but almost immediately after the presidential pronouncement, queues resurfaced at filling stations across the country even as retail outlets hoard the product and increase prices.

Already, a litre of petrol is being sold at over N500 across the country following NNPC price adjustment and the presidential pronouncement on subsidy removal.

Fuel queues have since surged for the vital commodity, compounding the traffic situation in parts of the country, even as transportation cost skyrocket to more than 100% increment.

The Organised Labour had resolved to embark on a nationwide strike beginning Wednesday but was restrained by a court order of Monday, June 5, 2023. The Organised Labour subsequently shelved its planned strike after a meeting with the Federal Government late Monday.

Lolz....you are laughing at a two term CBN governor?

Some people are truly mad

So 001 invited the gov without a state to a meeting today. One fly in the Square Office told me he politely told him to consider resigning in the interest of the nation. The gov was about answering when they chased the fly away
