Peter Obi, the clout chaser.

kunle4toyeyaho:
Inflict suffering? Do we have an option? Major economic indices show this is an unavoidable step Nigeria must take. Selling crude in advance to pay fuel subsidy is not sustainable.

Thundafireseun:
He wins all his wars …..

Can the same be said about any other politician excluding Tinubu??

FreeStuffsNG:
It's also to retain the Senate Presidency in Akwa Ibom State. If APC gets Rivers State, HE Wike may push that the office comes to Rivers and it could be Sen. Abe

FearlessYoruba:
Though I don't support most of his view here because he's pro Nigeria and Tinubu while I'm not,but he's sensible than all Osu dead or alive

Thundafireseun:
Fubara once came out to say he was building Psychiatric home and was bragging that someone will need it soon ….

From the looks of things…. Fubara will need it more…

The International Monetary Fund, IMF, has said that Nigeria is still facing significant uncertainty in its economic outlook despite wide ranging reforms.


Concluding its 2025 Article IV Consultations with Nigeria’s public policy executives during the week, IMF’s team, led by Axel Schimmelpfennig, its mission chief for Nigeria, acknowledged that Nigeria has taken important steps to stabilize the economy, enhance resilience, and support growth.

They added that these reforms have put Nigeria in a better position to navigate the external environment.

However, they have concluded that the macroeconomic outlook is marked by significant uncertainty, adding that the elevated global risk sentiment and lower oil prices would impact the Nigerian economy.


They also concluded that gains have yet to benefit all Nigerians saying that poverty and food insecurity remain high.

They, therefore, recommended that macroeconomic policies need to further strengthen buffers and resilience, reduce inflation, and support private sector-led growth.

The final report of the consultations stated: “The Nigerian authorities have taken important steps to stabilize the economy, enhance resilience, and support growth.

‘‘The financing of the fiscal deficit by the central bank has ceased, costly fuel subsidies were removed, and the functioning of the foreign exchange market has improved.

‘‘Gains have yet to benefit all Nigerians as poverty and food insecurity remain high.


‘‘The outlook is marked by significant uncertainty. Elevated global risk sentiment and lower oil prices impact the Nigerian economy.


‘‘The reforms since 2023 have put the Nigerian economy in a better position to navigate this external environment. ‘‘Looking ahead, macroeconomic policies need to further strengthen buffers and resilience, while creating enabling conditions for private sector-led growth.

“The authorities communicated to the mission that they will implement the 2025 budget in a manner that is responsive to the decline in international oil prices. A neutral fiscal stance would support monetary policy to bring down inflation.

‘‘To safeguard key spending priorities, it is imperative that fiscal savings from the fuel subsidy removal are channeled to the budget.


‘‘In particular, adjustments should protect critical, growth-enhancing investment, while accelerating and broadening the delivery of cash transfers under the World Bank-supported program to provide relief to those experiencing food insecurity.


“A tight monetary policy stance is required to firmly guide inflation down. The Monetary Policy Committee’s data-dependent approach has served Nigeria well and will help navigate elevated macroeconomic uncertainty.

‘‘Announcing a disinflation path to serve as an intermediate target can help anchor inflation expectations.”

The IMF team had met with Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy Wale Edun, Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Abubakar Kyari, Central Bank of Nigeria Governor Yemi Cardoso, senior government and central bank officials, the Ministry of the Environment, the private sector, academia, labor unions, and civil society.

What has he not done?
He has done more than any president in the history of Nigeria at this time in their presidency!
We should make a compilation of his achievements soon.

Omonigeriarere:
Fubara would have contested and won without the solid support received from 'emperor' in the first instance. Fubara who is not an emperor has the guts to remove legislators and rule without third arm of government for foreseable period and you are comfortable with that.

The demolition of the state house of assembly all in an attempt to prevent the state legislators from holding any valid meeting was in order in your right sense I know. But you start singing like a parrot, when the table turns around.

I have no pity for Fubara at all.

NewHe:
Interprete it as you understand it, biko!
Lagos has been recovered!

NewHe:
Do you know what they called blue-black at all?
There's no room for voters transfer in 2027!

The message is clear and loud

bobby007:
so what can Obi do about winning Lagos, na Lagos State Governor em wan do?

PRESIDENT TINUBU'S EASTER MESSAGE TO THE NATION

I heartily felicitate Christians in Nigeria and worldwide as they commemorate Easter, the celebration of Jesus Christ's crucifixion and resurrection—the cornerstone of the Christian faith.

The Holy Week, which spans Palm Sunday through Holy Thursday and Good Friday and culminates in Easter Sunday, calls us to reflect deeply on the enduring values of sacrifice, redemption, love, and hope.

As President of our blessed nation, I draw inspiration from this timeless message of hope and renewal. I remain steadfast in my commitment to delivering the promise of a Renewed Hope, a better, more just, and prosperous Nigeria for all.

The recent tragic incidents and the loss of lives in some parts of our country deeply saddened me. I understand the pain and fear these incidents have caused. Let me assure you that my administration's resolve to restore peace and security remains unshakable. Forces of evil will never prevail over our country. I have given clear directives to the Armed Forces and all relevant security agencies to end insecurity decisively and without delay. With the unwavering courage and commitment of our gallant men and women in uniform, we are turning the tide and making steady progress in reclaiming peace and stability.

We are also grateful to all Nigerians for your patience and resilience as our economy begins to show encouraging signs of recovery. We understand the economic challenges many of you are facing, and we are working tirelessly to restore investor confidence, stabilise key sectors, and build an inclusive economy that serves the interests of all Nigerians.

During this Easter, we join the global Christian community in thanking God for Pope Francis's recovery. We pray that his renewed strength continues to inspire his leadership and service to humanity.

I earnestly pray that Easter's spirit fills every heart and home with renewed faith in the immense possibilities ahead of us as a nation. Just as Christ triumphed over death, so too shall our country triumph over every challenge we face. The present moment may be cloudy, but it will usher in a glorious day.

I urge all Nigerians to remain hopeful, united, and resolute in pursuing national progress. The task before us is enormous, but together, with faith and determination, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome. Our unity and resilience are our greatest strengths.

May the risen Christ bless our homes with peace and our nation with continued unity and prosperity.

Happy Easter to all my fellow Nigerians

Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria

bobby007:
who come be president

ElevationD:
Look, Wike is deeply suffering from his loss in the PDP primaries to Atiku. Over the time, Wike systematically eliminated prospective Igbo candidates like Umahi and Peter Obi from PDP, thinking that he would get the PDP ticket. He pretended to be the Igbo man from the South South and his strategy failed him. He’s still crying over that loss.

Coming to the election proper, there was no way Wike could have scored nearly the total of Obi’s vote, if he won the PDP ticket.

First, he was already a known sadist, a violent person and a very cruel leader. Northern leaders would not have accepted him.

Rivers state consistently always produced over 1m votes for PDP. Right under his nose and even with his alliance with APC, he only a polled a total of 231,591 votes for Tinubu, while Obi polled 175,071 votes and PDP scored 88,000 votes. The same Obi brushed APC and PDP aside in Abuja. Where’s the social media.

The reality facing the likes of Wike is that Obi is now a huge mountain to climb. They have lost sleep over Obi.

Now Wike has another huge hurdle in Rivers state with Fubara. That’s why he quickly got his own zonal PDP exco, so that he can produce the next Governorship candidate. All Fubara has to do to return, is to secure the LP ticket and that’s it for Wike in Rivers state. He gradually is making himself a political leper and clings to Tinubu desperately to survive. Tinubu too has given him the condition to remain with him.

PressMyButton:
Atleast he said the matter is in court, which means he's using legal means to fight his battle. Same cannot be said of opposition sponsoring insecurity and terrorism against the ruiling Government.
