Amberly01:
My dear Waziri Atiku Abubakar,


I listened to your October 1st speech with great interest.


It was calm and well-delivered but intellectually-flawed, highly disrespectful, inherently dishonest and utterly bereft of decency, logic and rationality.



Worse still you refused to address President Tinubu as 'President' but rather continuously and contemptuously referred to him by his first name 'Bola'.



Surely this level of pettiness is below even you. Yet despite this provocation I will not refer to you as 'Kachalla' and I will accord you the respect that I still think you deserve.



Bashorun Akin Osuntokun, the former Special Advisor on Politics to President Olusegun Obasanjo and the former Director General of the 2023 Peter Obi Presidential Campaign Organisation, spoke the minds of millions when he wrote, inter alia, the following.


"Abubakar is entitled to criticise the President, however sharply. What I found objectionable was his repeated decision to call him “Bola.” That was not a more forceful argument; it was a needless display of disrespect. This is not acceptable. It is bad manners and primarily an insult to Nigeria on whose account he occupies that office...This is not a demand for deference to Tinubu’s policies or person. It is a demand for decorum and decency... Imagine a former Vice President referring throughout a national address to a sitting President as 'Segun' or 'Muhammadu'. The rudeness would be unmistakable".


Osuntokun is right.


Yet, judging from other parts of his article, he appears to be surprised by your rank insolence whilst I am not.


Are you not the same Atiku that betrayed his principal, President Olusegun Obasanjo two years after he was elected into office in 1999 and conspired with a handful of Governors to overthrow him at the primaries and take over his seat in 2003.


Are you not the same Atiku that insulted Obasanjo publicly from 2003 up until 2007 even though you were his Vice President?


Are you not the same Atiku who sought to justify your rebellion and treachery by saying that you opposed Obasanjo only because of 'third term' when in fact your rebellion started long before 2007 and your intention was to stop him from getting a second term in 2003?


Are you not the same Atiku that recently went on Arise and referred to President Goodluck Jonathan as an "inexperienced young man" who "made mistakes" and whose inexperience contributed to him not being able to "properly manage the affairs of the country".



You were referring to a former President that is 69 years old, that led our country for 5 years as firstly Acting President then President, that was elected into office as Vice President just under 20 years ago, that was elected firstly as Deputy Governor and later Governor of his state 27 years ago as a "young man" with "no experience"?







Are you not the same Atiku that went to the BBC Hausa Service and described Vice President Kashim Shettima, a humble man who unlike you has the courage to be loyal to his boss, as being "disrespectful" simply because he challenged you to give an account of your tenure in office and to tell the world how many people you have empowered since you came into politics 33 years ago?



Your response to him was that it was against the culture of the North for him to ask elders like you such questions yet you did far worse to Obasanjo in 2002 when you attempted to strip him naked before the world, remove his shoes and crown and humiliate him out of office.



You and your legion of fallen angels went even futher by peddling the foul and abominal falsehood and diabolical mendacity that a man that was old enough to be your father and that was, as President, your principal and boss, knelt down before you, grabbed your feet and literally begged you to allow him to run for a second term in 2003 knowing that Obasanjo would rather have died than do such a thing or endure such humiliation.


Where were your Northern culture and manners then?


The truth is that you do not reflect the decency, restraint, patience, good manners, faith in God, loyalty, fortitude, kindness, generosity, charity, kindness, compassion, honor and other virtues that are associated with the North but rather it's antithesis.



You are indeed a master of intrigue and a mask of contradictions and deceit.


Yet it does not end there.






Are you not the same Atiku whose own running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, said, just a few weeks ago, was "unelectable", had "been there before and lost" and had "nothing new to bring to the table?"



Are you not the same Atiku who, after a young Christian girl by the name of Deborah Samuel, was burnt alive by a wild mob in Sokoto on May 12th 2022, initially posted your condolences and commiserations on your X handle and yet removed it one hour later for reasons best known to yourself?


This was after President Muhammadu Buhari, the Sultan of Sokoto and Senator Aminu Tambuwal, who was the Governor of Sokoto state at the time, had ALL condemned Deborah's murder and expressed their regrets.


Yet you could not bring yourself to do the same and instead publicly queried your aide when he did so on your behalf.



Worse still, when asked, you LIED 7 months later at a Channels Television Town Hall meeting that you had earlier condemned the killing.


Expecting any form of genuine love, decorum and decency from you is like expecting kindness from a pit bull terrier and compassion from a hungry wolf.



The truth is that you have no respect, no decorum and no sense of restraint and the only thing you are loyal to is your ambition.



You are finally manifesting your true colours, inordinate ambition, pathological obsession and sheer desperation to get power at all costs.



Yet the truth is that questionable characters that still have so many questions to answer should be embarrassed to question anybody on accountability.



Vain promises we all know you are incapable of achieving due to your greed and lack of patriotism cannot deceive anyone into trusting you.



And because you lack basic respect for the Office of the President and insist on calling him 'Bola', you, my dear Waziri, may NEVER attain that height.

Lifediary:
Former Anambra State Governor and Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has stirred reactions online after stating that fuel subsidy could return if corruption and leakages in government are properly addressed.

Speaking in Sokoto, Obi said the challenge was not just about subsidy removal but also about how the money meant for public services is managed. He explained that reducing corruption would create room for government to provide more support to Nigerians.

According to reports, Obi said:

"By removing the corruption, I assure you that we will bring back subsidy."

The statement has sparked debate among Nigerians.

Some Nigerians believe bringing back subsidy would help reduce the pressure of high petrol prices on citizens and businesses. Others argue that subsidy has historically been difficult to manage because of issues such as corruption, fake claims, and the financial burden on government.

Nigeria removed petrol subsidy in 2023, causing petrol prices to rise and increasing discussions about the best approach to energy pricing and economic relief.

The big question remains:

If corruption is reduced, should Nigeria bring back petrol subsidy or focus on other ways to make fuel more affordable?

Drop your thoughts.

The North would continue to marginalise you Igbos because you are never one ,Your type and umahi who would go to any Length to attack your brothers as a slave of the North is reason you people would continue to be slaves to the North

within concern North for Ibo vs ibo Matter .
Peter obi is contesting against a Yoruba man Tinibu then his Igbo brother Soludu is sabotaging him .

How did the North enter this statement

ugly clown ! So to continue exclusive development of Yoruba southwest with votes from Northern Nigeria No way

Stephen0mozzy:
It is unfair to ask a man to drop his ambitions for the aspirations of another sha.

But if Atiku could really just throw his weight behind the People's Choice, he'll actually earn his place as a True Statesman in the immortal history of Nigeria, post-Tinibulation.

Alas! Everyone thinks they're the Chosen One that can save everyone else.

ibo people choice ! Ibo brought a Dundee with a horrible voice we can't follow them .when una ready una bring Charles Soludu, MBA , otti .

Validated:
Atiku should respect the unwritten Nigeria zoning formula and support Peter Obi to oust Tinubu, a monumental failure.

We need frugal presidency to pull Nigeria out of the doldrums that Buhari and Tinubu carelessly dragged us into.

Nigeria is now a laughing stock in the commity of nations. Our president cannot attend UNGA because of the fear of being arrested for heroine offenses.

Zoning arrangements the no need for OBi since Tinibu is from south

AsomughaChuks02:
Truth is that we need well educated Igbos like Governor Soludo, Dave Umahi, Sullivan Chime or Peter Mbah to be President of Igbo extraction to bring tangible benefits to the south east, not a crook like Peter Obi who will not be able to achieve anything in his self-restricted 4 years, other than gifting Catholic bishops huge sums of government money like he did in Anambra.

Igbo are not yet ready when una ready una go present the like of Soludu , peter.MBa Ex Afrxim bank chairman
Not his dullard that is using sentiment

so because some dull people don't know how to tackle corruption in oil industry we 200m Nigerians will now suffer

ElSudani:
Crude oil was given to us by God, this is very true. Why don't you go there and fetch it like water and use it since it is freely given to us.
Which refinery is Atiku talking about? The ones that are not working or the one somebody built with his $20 billion dollars and still rely on some imported crude to keep running?
Atiku is dreaming along with his supporters.
This is the type of populist nonsense that made it impossible for Dangote and Otedola to buy those moribund refineries in the first place.

IGBOS IN DIASPORA DEMAND MAXIMUM SECURITY FOR PETER OBI AS HE VISITS GERMANY AND LONDON

"Nothing Must Happen To Him" - Ohanaeze Diaspora, Obidients Issue Strong Warning

LONDON / BERLIN / ABUJA - September 2026 Igbo leaders and Obidient supporters in Germany and the United Kingdom have called on British and German authorities to ensure maximum security for former presidential candidate Mr. Peter Obi as he embarks on official visits to both countries.

The call comes as Mr. Obi is expected to meet with Nigerians in diaspora, investors, and international partners in London and Berlin this week.



In a joint statement released on Tuesday, groups including Ohanaeze Ndigbo Germany, Ohanaeze UK, and Coalition of Obidients in Europe said Peter Obi is not just an Igbo leader but a symbol of hope for millions of young Nigerians.

"Peter Obi is our most valuable political voice. We are asking the governments of Germany and the United Kingdom to provide full protection during his stay. Nothing must happen to him on German or London soil," the statement read.

"We will hold peaceful rallies to welcome him. Any attempt to harass or harm him will be met with massive peaceful protests by law-abiding Igbos and Nigerians across Europe."



The diaspora leaders stressed that their response will be 100% lawful and peaceful.

- Peaceful welcome rallies in London, Berlin, Hamburg and Munich
- Petitions to UK Home Office and German Federal Police for VIP protection
- Live coverage of all his movements to ensure transparency
- Massive legal support if any threat arises

"We do not believe in violence. We believe in the law. In Germany and the UK, the law protects everyone. We will use the law," said Mr. Chidi Okoro, a coordinator in London.



Peter Obi has visited both countries several times since 2023 without any security incident. He enjoys huge support among Nigerians abroad, particularly Igbos who have organized town halls for him in major cities.

German and UK police typically provide security for high-profile foreign political figures on request.

The Nigerian High Commissions in London and Berlin have been notified of his visits, sources said.



The message from Igbos abroad is not warfare - it is protection and vigilance. They want their leader safe, celebrated, and respected on foreign soil, and they are ready to use peaceful, legal means to ensure it.

unserioius candidate and content creator .
Do diaspora vote
Or you just want to collect money and claim you won election.dundee candidate

Osgilliat:
Atiku still doesn’t get it. He knows he has messed up with his declaration of bringing back subsidy now he is trying to twist the narratives. He shouldn’t be talking about supporting local refineries he should be talking about how he plans to curb fuel smuggling to other countries if he is to bring back subsidy. Because smuggling is the biggest issue in the subsidy regime.

he didn't mess up when subsidy return if you lilke pay higher to show over lasting support for Failure Tinibu.

Crude oil was given free to Nigeria by God . If must be proceed in Nigeria for a Nigerian

TInibu claimed subsides is gone inorder to have money to give his Lebanese friend coastal road project of 17 trillion without any bidding .
He claimed he stop the corruption by removing the subsides only to open another unaccounted project costal road

What the essence of the crude oil of Nigeria

It for the Nigeria citizens it God given.we can't afford to buy petroleum products are same price as American's.on 50 USD minimum wage

Bobloco:
Presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has promised to replace petrol import subsidies with a production-focused subsidy aimed at lowering fuel costs, boosting domestic refining and reducing the cost of living.

Atiku, in a post on X, said his proposed policy would support crude oil refined in Nigeria rather than use public funds to make imported petrol cheaper.

He said the objective was to enable local refineries to produce fuel at lower costs, create jobs and ultimately reduce the amount Nigerians spend on petrol and transportation.

“I am not restoring subsidy so that Nigeria can keep paying for imported petrol. I am restoring subsidy so that Nigerians can produce more at home, pay less for fuel, and keep more money in their pockets,” he said.

The ADC candidate distinguished between what he called “import subsidy” and “production subsidy”, using the shoe-making industry in Aba as an illustration.

According to him, instead of spending public funds to make imported shoes cheaper, government should support local shoemakers to reduce their production costs, increase output and employ more Nigerians.

“I choose the Aba shoemaker. I will do the same with fuel,” Atiku said.


He said his administration would support domestic crude refining to enable Nigerian refineries to produce petrol more cheaply.

Atiku said the policy would be part of a broader strategy to reduce the cost of living, arguing that cheaper fuel would have a direct effect on transportation, food prices and the operating costs of small businesses.

He said his goal was to reduce the cost of daily economic activities for households and businesses.

“I want the bus fare you pay every morning to come down. I want the cost of taking food from the farm to the market to come down,” he said.

“I want the trader to spend less. I want the barber, tailor, welder and small business owner to spend less on energy.”
