Politics / Throw Back :Tinubu Speaking At Woodrow Wilson International Center For Scholers by Elemosho478: 4:09pm On Nov 26, 2022 |
Throw Back Video of Tinubu speaking at Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholers. The Role of the Opposition in Meeting Nigeria’s Challenges OVERVIEW Nigeria’s Continental and International Importance “Nigeria is important to Africa and to the world.” Steve McDonald, the Director of the Africa Program and the Project on Leadership and Building State Capacity, remarked that despite the country’s integral economic and political significance in continental and international arenas, there is still destabilizing internal discord between Nigerians and their government. “There is an unfortunate residence of inequality in Nigeria,” stated McDonald, and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former Executive Governor of Lagos State and current National Leader of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), and his party demonstrate how the presence of a viable opposition can balance the governing power. Tinubu’s Leadership of the ACN “Nigeria is its people and they are some of the most entrepreneurial, ingenious, hardworking people that I have ever met. I am a big believer in Nigeria, even in the worst of times.” Howard F. Jeter , former U.S. Ambassador to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, used his introduction of Tinubu as an opportunity to stress how, during his ambassadorship, he realized that “Nigeria is the essential country in Africa and what happens in Nigeria will impact the entire continent.” According to Jeter, Tinubu’s leadership of the ACN, the principal opposition, has resulted in a remarkable change in the party administration’s performance and efficacy because of his direction and mobilization of the population. The ACN has emerged as a major force in Nigerian politics due to its devotion to serving the people, accountability and coherence of discourse and structure. Jeter commended Tinubu for not only being a man who is dedicated to the wellbeing of his country, but one who could lead it through its current challenges and to future successes. How Can the Opposition Help? “I have devoted most of my adult life to promoting democracy in Nigeria. The battle has been neither short, nor easy.” Tinubu reassured the audience that he was not a member of that “class of politicians who has benefited from the struggle [for democracy] without participating in it.” On the contrary, his “life has been defined by the achievements and setbacks recorded in this struggle” and “[he] understand[s] with every sinew and fiber of [his] being how far [Nigerians] have come and how far [they] have yet to go.” Consequently, Tinubu’s political experience has afforded him valuable insight into the socioeconomic challenges that his country currently faces. His position as the leader of the key opposition party has shown him how Nigeria is still in political limbo where the government’s authoritarian and democratic tendencies are in constant contradiction. As a result, Tinubu believes the current regime is unable to effectively handle the internal security, ethnic, and governance issues that have come to characterize the nation. If elected, the ACN, under Tinubu’s leadership, would be able to confront these impediments to stability by not only decentralizing power from the national executive, but by promoting civic engagement with the constituency at local and national levels to assure that these systemic reforms would, in fact, benefit the people of Nigeria directly. He further argued that “[t]he overriding concern of the (ruling party) People’s Democratic Party’s (PDP) political community is to retain power, not to advance the public welfare,” and, as a result, this party has broken the social contract between the government and the governed. Conversely, Tinubu believes that his party represents a sustainable, progressive alternative as it seeks to help Nigerians surmount the systemic obstacles to securing their economic and social wellbeing. Tinubu maintained that his party, unlike that of the incumbent, is invested in advancing the status of the Nigerian citizen beyond the margins and is willing to forgo the benefits associated with authoritarian rule to ensure that the people are provided for in every sphere. The Future for Opposition Politics in Nigeria If there were an election held in Nigeria today, President Goodluck Jonathan would not be reelected, Tinubu asserted, because he has proven to be a “disappointing” public servant. That Nigeria’s socioeconomic and political situations do not continue to degenerate, new and inventive approaches need to be taken on the part of the governing body. However, the PDP and President Jonathan are opposed to anything that might undermine their administration’s absolute control, Tinubu postulated, and this atmosphere is not conducive to democratic governance. Although there is much work to be done in terms of reforming Nigeria’s political, social, and economic infrastructures, Tinubu believes that the presence of a worthy opposition party is the first step toward progress, as this will help “to ensure the sanctity of the ballot box, foster respect for the rule of law and to build [enduring] democratic and economic institutions,” all of which are essential for a country of so much continental and international importance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99zEN37hFDc https://www.wilsoncenter.org/event/the-role-the-opposition-meeting-nigerias-challenges Cc Mynd44 Nlfpmod |

Then they will compare that to Lagos who have 19000 students that 18000 passed and they will be saying Sokoto is better than Lagos students Sokoto would be celebrating percentage because it is better than that of Lagos, tell me is that not delusions and Propaganda?

You have lesser numbers of students that sat for the Exam and lesser numbers of students that passed, but according to your skewed logics you are the better one lol. Secondary school is the highest according to your delusional mind, Google know better. I wonder why all the top companies in Nigeria are not employing secondary school graduates? because according to you "professor" secondary school is the best and highest lol. You are really delusional

IfnobeGod20: It is the official result you can Google it to confirm, you are the delusional one here You think South west dominating the best tertiary institutions in Nigeria is a fluke? if South west isn't good in Secondary and primary level it is not possible. The National Bureau of Statistics release the WAEC result statistics few days ago for 2021 data and that was where StatiSense also did the data analysis for the WAEC result Statistics they released few days ago. However, StatiSense do not give all the true picture of the statistics as intended. From the Data released from NBS, the SouthWest has the highest number of students that sat for WAEC and also the highest number of students that have 5 credits and above including English & Maths. This is followed by the South South Zone Below are the charts derived from the NBS official data and below is the link to the data.

IfnobeGod20: You are the one with the lowest IQ, everyone know tertiary education is the highest form of Education not secondary school so how should we rate secondary education performance higher than that of Tertiary education? Well I can't blame you, IPOB have the tendency of their brain working upside down. I'm basing my judgment on recent Jamb top 10 results and recent Waec NBS statistics, even in the past statistics you guys are celebrating the number of students that sat and passed Waec in South west states were always more than in the East, all you guys does is celebrate Percentage forgetting the population factors that South west students population that sat for Waec were more than the East which means the percentage will always favour you, but it doesn't really show the true reality. If 1000 students sat for Waec in Anambra and 900 passed and 2000 students sat for Waec in Lagos and 1500 passed, the percentage of students that passed will always favour Anambra but in reality the total numbers of students that sat for Waec in Lagos and the total numbers of students that passed were more than that of Anambra. That's exactly what is happening, all you guys does is celebrate percentage but the numbers of students that sat for Waec and passed Waec in the west are always more than the East. https://www.nairaland.com/7292449/south-west-highest-number-waec-students 1 Like |

Top 10 best Universities in Nigeria is dominated by Universities in South west South west states dominated the list of states with the most students that sat and Passed WAEC Recent top 10 best JAMB results Yoruba dominated the list with 6 Yoruba on the list, but in your delusional mind Yoruba are lagging behind you lol.

LadyRosa: Doing better in Education because of winning Inter school debate of secondary schools? Do you see the list of graduates of an England university posted online recently? It was dominated by YORUBA even the councilor of the school is Yoruba Keep deceiving yourself, Yoruba have pass the level of measuring education level with mushrooms awards. Top 10 universities in Nigeria most of them are in South west, that's what it mean to dominate education. Even in the recent Jamb top 10 best results were dominated by Yoruba's results, even in WEAC south west dominated the list of the states with the most students that sat for Waec and passed Waec according to NBS statistics, that's what it means to dominate Education not through winning mushroom awards that no one even know exist. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Nigeria is not a sane clime We need a rugged man that know all the game to sanitize the system, Tinubu is a rugged man that know the game. He did it in Lagos and Sanitized the system now Lagos is arguably the best government in Nigeria. 3 Likes 1 Share |

MandelaLives: Well you are probably new to Nairaland if not you would remember when Igbo people used to say Northerners will use EFCC to deal with Tinubu if he dare contest for APC presidential Candidate. I didn't give northerners any power it is what Igbo people used to say on this forum. You must be too slow to comprehend, so it is Igbo people that gave the northerners that power as if northerners own EFCC. |
Politics / Northerners Will Use EFCC To Deal With Tinubu If... by Elemosho478: 8:14pm On Nov 24, 2022 |
Who else remember when Igbo people used to say Northerners would use EFCC to deal with Tinubu if he dare contest for the position of APC presidential Candidate? They said all his cases would be remembered. I wonder why Northern politicians did not deal with Tinubu during the contest for APC presidential candidate even despite the fact that some northern politicians opposed his ambition even Buhari. Many people still believe Northerners are playing Tinubu and will embarrass him at the poll, for me I believe if northern politicians really want to play Tinubu or deal with him they wouldn't let him become APC presidential candidate. Many people really underestimate the power and influence of Tinubu, even Obasanjo couldn't do anything to him during his tenure as president even Buhari can't do anything to him. I don't really like Tinubu but we need strong man like that in the south. He told Buhari boldly that he made him president and need his support in return, how many southern Politicians have that ball and power? If it was Tinubu in place of Peter Obi in PDP I believe Atiku wouldn't have had it that easy to became PDP presidential candidate. Atiku did what he did because he did not rate any southern politician in PDP even till now Atiku hardly rate any southern politician except probably Tinubu if else he wouldn't be so stubborn to resolve the matters with Wike. |

Igbo population in Lagos wouldn't even be more than 20% of Lagos total population, what about northerners in Lagos state or other southerners? This is the reason you guys will always have problems in Lagos, trying to dictate the political affairs of Lagos. Why don't you go to Kano and Kaduna and vote for PDP there?

Too much desperation Believe a Politician at your own peril. The people he governed for 8 years today in Anambra are Unknown gunmen and ESN. Anambra have the most billionaires in Nigeria according to IPOB but Peter Obi couldn't even develop a revenue generating schemes for Anambra to have enough IGR. Onitsha is the biggest market in west Africa according to IPOB but it is another wasted Potential in the hand of Obi. If Tinubu had be the one to governed Anambra instead of Obi the policy he implemented in Lagos is enough to make Anambra compete with Ogun state or Rivers state in all ramifications. 49 Likes 11 Shares |
