One idiot from Agulu is talking nonsense.

An opinion of one Dr Toks on X is just what you needed to insult Peter Obi

You are irredeemable

You are an irredeemable 🤡🤡

chopnaira:

What is so good, the continuation of the lagos calabar highway project of fraud or what

yarimo:
The mumu Peter obi don't know anything about good governernce that is why he is fooling himself, thinking that is good opposition.

Are you now implying that Tinubu is providing good governance

A few buildings on a beach does not equal 200 million dollars. These guys just pull numbers out of their arses.

A resort in Indonesia which is a real tourist destination.

Does it justifies this lie, falsehood and propaganda emanating from Tinubu presidency

Wike is a drunkard

phemmie06:
That is to justify how hard working he is

Hardworking by increasing electricity tariffs so that Nigerians can pay more for darkness

favor914:
Hypocrite Bobby Loco, Obaseki stole which party’s mandate that he carried to The Pdp?

Obaseki seek re-election under the PDP and won after Oshomhole and his geng served him the Ambode treatment in the APC. Since then, Edo state under the PDP have been better for it

ch214:
Stubborn Bola Ahmed Tinubu is wasting the time of Nigerians and as of now, the foolish tinubu and his corrupt APC led government officials are all clueless and have no solution to the economy hardship plaguing Nigeria.

Tinubu should resign honorably or Nigerians will force him to be impeached and force out of aso rock villa disgracefully.

If he cannot resign, he should do himself and the whole country a favour by not seeking re-election. That should be the honorable thing to do if there is any honor left in him.

3exe3:
The national assembly did not accept the tarrif hike

Bizibi:
Pdp will lose if Abuja is interested in the state and as for now presidency hasn't shown interest.

The interest in grabbing, snatching, and running away is what you mean.

They will soon come after social media

Adelabu incompetence and cluelessness is running a campaign against him

They're now threatening Nigerians

This is what you get when you have a notorious narcotics drug trafficker engaging in criminal state capture as president

One might think that Ganduje is saying this out of patriotism, but the truth is that he is saying it out of his own selfish interest because he believes that with Tinubu as president, he will continue to evade being arrested and persecuted for all the money belonging to the people of Kano State he stole.

helinues:
Where is Peter Obi?

Abi, as Northerners have refused to be responsible for their own woes, they are waiting for outsiders to come and help them

You are irredeemable. 

Instead of calling on the president and governor, you are calling on a private citizen going about his private life for the same reason you and ilks castigated him when he was providing boreholes to some communities in the north. 

helinus, you are evil. 

The sufferings the people of Kano State are passing through have become some sort of caricature to you.

Nobody is voting asue except you

Edo State is progressing under the current PDP government, and I believe that the people of Edo State will vote accordingly so that the progress achieved will be sustained.

ivandragon:
Hmm...

Progress cannot be made if the government continues to be opaque in handling this matter. Removing subsidies without addressing fundamental issues would only lead to bigger problems.

The cabal and systemic flaws that made subsidy unsustainable are still very much with us. Until they are addressed, the problem remains.

Till today, the following questions surrounding pms subsidy are unanswered under this administration.

1. Where & who exactly are we buying pms from? And at what price?

2. Are Nigerians getting value for money from those who sell pms to Nigeria?

3. Pms is just one out if about 7-8 derivatives of crude oil, what happens to the other products when we swap or refine? Can't they cover the cost?

4. How many litres of pms do we actually consume in nigeria? The 64m litres per day has been shown to be lies even by those in the same government.

5. What has government done to reduce associated costs such as landing costs, demurrage charges, transaction fees, bridging charges and other numerous taxes dealers have to pay that add to the final costs.

6. What has government done about the cesspool of corruption at the depots where pms trucks pay exorbitant fees just to gain entry to load and which they add to the final costs.

7. How has government addressed the numerous security agencies along the road that extort fuel trucks , an act which adds to retail costs.

8. What has government done about ensuring good roads and alternate transport systems to reduce the wear and tear on fuel transporters. Expenses which add to retail costs.

9. What security measures were put in place to tackle smuggling of fuel across borders?

10. How has the government supported local refineries?

11. What is the government doing to ensure stable FX supply since it impacts on fuel prices. Because marketers would keep increasing prices as long as fx fluctuates. So are masses going to continually pay higher prices indefinitely?

12. What has government done to ensure transparency in the fx allocation to fuel importers and what has been done to tackle corruption and ineptitude in the system. Just about 2 years ago, bad fuel was imported and till today, no one has been called to account for such major mess up that costs some persons thier livelihoods.

13. Why can't the government go after the economic saboteurs that have made subsidy unsustainable?

So, when people like that chap just keep parroting, 'remove subsidy, remove subsidy', just know they are actually just parroting a line that they have been told to toe.

It is OK for subsidy to go, but the system needs to first be sanitised so we can truly have value for what we pay for.

Hmmmmm

Vital questions 

When you ask these vital questions to those who are in government today, their supporters will term you an enemy of progress.

Ask them, Where's the progress that this government has made since coming on board? They begin to run around like headless chickens.

Governor Godwin Obaseki has justified why he increased minimum wage from tlN40,000 to N70, 000 in Edo State.

Obaseki spoke in an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday.


Recall that prior to the announcement of the N70,000, Obaseki paid N40,000 paid as against the N30,000 national minimum wage.


The governor said with the depreciating value of the country’s currency – the naira – and the rising cost of living, it made sense to introduce a new minimum wage for state workers.

“Let us understand this new minimum wage calculation. In 2011, when the minimum wage was N18,000, the exchange rate was N160/$ and so effectively workers in Edo State were taking home about $120 as minimum wage.

“When we increased the minimum wage to N40,000 in 2022, the exchange rate at that time was N450/$ so effectively, workers were getting about $96.”

“Today, 2024, with the N70,000 minimum wage at the current exchange rate of N1,257/$, what they are taking home is $55 which is less than 50 per cent of what they were earning about a year ago.

“For us in Edo State, we believe that the issue is about productivity; paying people well so that they can produce more and not pretending that you are paying them some salary when you know that that salary cannot motivate them to produce the goods and services that you require.”

Obaseki said his government had to introduce the new minimum wage for workers in Edo State to reflect the current economic realities of the country.

He said, “We are taking measures as a state to mitigate the situation that we found ourselves in today.”


He said with the digitisation of work in the state, government has been able to save money which will be channeled to other areas including the payment of wages.

“So, we don’t spend [so much] money on stationery and all those costs used to run the government,” he said.

The governor added that the state has also reduced the cost of energy by looking at alternative sources.

“Those savings, I use them to pay salaries,” he said.

What are the positives of the first full year of the Tinubu administration?

Tinubu's actions and inactions constitute what can be described as economic sabotage.

Don't mind that Gbaju e crooner

Not just a mistake but a catastrophic failure

favor914:
Confused Wailer, go and better your life, stop waiting for Bola Tinubu.

What is wrong in demanding accountability from our leaders

Honestly, you are an enemy of this country
