damo2014: Campaigns and electioneering periods are critical in the life of any democracy. Since electoral victories are credited to political parties, these sorts of events present parties the opportunity to further rally round and support their flag bearers to victory. Candidates of the various political parties contesting for the 2023 elections will begin the responsibility of telling the Nigerian people how they plan to better their standard of living. So in few days from now, all of their manifestoes will no longer be the exclusive rights of parties’ top officials alone. They will be unearthed for the whole of Nigerians to access and assess. Thus, they will become public knowledge.
No Nigerian loves Nigeria more than any other Nigerian. I start my article with some spirit of nationalism. And I also implore everyone to be more nationalistic than we are (were), especially at this period. It is a period that we must be intentional and conscious of our decisions and their attendant results. We must resolve to choose rightly. Beginning from the lowest tier, to the States’ Houses of Assembly, the Houses of Representatives, the Senate, the Governorship levels and most essentially, the Presidential. In the same spirit of patriotism, we must be aware that the presidency, which is the repository of our national values, deserves more attention. We all have a duty to ensure whogets there is the best we can readily present. On the 29th of November, I would have spent almost four (4) decades on the earth, as a Nigerian. Bulk of those years spent in Lagos, where I also had my elementary and secondary school education. Perhaps due to my closeness with my unlettered, yet political observer-grandfather who would not go about a day without listening to the news or me reading the newspapers for him, my special interest in politics would have been almost impossible. I loathe political apathy, especially among the young generation who are expected to be savvier in it. Subjects such as History and Government helped my political consciousness too.
Lagos, before Tinubu Lagos, pre-1999 is around 23 years at minimum. A whole lot, I must confess. Majority of us were still teenagers, ineligible to participate in that very election. For the benefit of some of us who did not know, Nigeria was just returning to democracy after years of unceremonious sojourn of military government experience. Every state of the country had been under the whims and caprices of the leadership of the Army, Navy or the Airforce for 14 straight years. This dark period began in 1985 with General Babangida administration. Lagos was not an exception. Civil service was in shambles. Infrastructure was in comatose. Waste mismanagement system was evident. Financial mismanagement was the order of the day. Payroll system was too archaic and poorly coordinated. Every part of Lagos battled with the problem of insecurity. Endemic corruption was having a field day in the Lagos public sector. Lagos, with Tinubu holding sway But 1999, the military had a change of hearts. They went back to the barracks and handed over the batons to civilians. And democracy returned! Our return to democracy meant we would no longer put blames on the khaki boys or military junta. Every state was on its own! If an elected governor lacked the capacity to turn things around in his state, it was the state’s palava (in Fela’s words) or their cup of tea. Lagos had a Bola Tinubu. Same was Ogun with Olusegun Osoba in charge. There was Lam Adeshine for Oyo state. And so on and so forth. But for Lagos, some sort of foundation or what I call, a blueprint was inevitable. This was because the maximum number of years as stipulated in the 1999 constitution for any elected representative is eight ( years, at max. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the then newly-elected governor took the bull by the horn and came up with a barrage of people-oriented policies. He initiated reforms that improved the efficiency of the civil service. He improved infrastructure in different sections of the state. Part of his successes in the financial management is the efficient payroll system Lagos enjoys till date. Education, up to WAEC payment, was free for all students in Lagos. Not only that, he entered an alliance with AES in building an IPP to generate 270MW of electricity for Lagosians. With his strong belief in bringing government closer to the people, he created additional 36 LCDAs. The internally generated revenue of the state rose astronomically from 600million naira to 7billion naira every month. This was unprecedented in the whole country at that time. Hospital Services Commission, Lagos State Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency, and LASAMBUS, an ambulance management program, were all founded as a result of the Health Management Board's decentralization of Tinubu. Additionally, he stood out at the time with initiatives like "Roll Back Malaria," "Jigi Bola," and the free health policy for everyone over 65 and under 16 years old. As a result of the decentralization of the ministry of works and housing, the housing department was transformed into a full-fledged ministry with the responsibility of building 500 homes each year. The Lekki corridor became Nigeria's fastest-growing real estate investment hotspot as a result of this single action. The housing sector was made available to private investors, and Lagos quickly rose to the top of Nigeria's real estate investor destinations list. The RRS, which Tinubu introduced in 1999, was the closest thing to state policing in Nigeria at the time. Ita Oko Prisoners Camp was transformed into a Youth Skill Acquisition Center as a result of jail reformation efforts to reduce criminal activity. In fact, RRS is presently Nigeria's top-performing police force. He established the Lagos Security Trust Fund so that the private sector could contribute to investments in Lagos security alongside the government. Lagos was becoming a beauty to behold. At the same time, he was also aware of the ephemerality of his time in Alausa. He knew governance was a continuum. He set up a sustainable foundation upon which all other subsequent governors would build. The aftermath of that stellar leadership performance is the birthing of the NEW LAGOS we are seeing now.
A politician of repute It is not for the fun of it to hear that the country houses more than 250 ethnic nationalities. I do not also believe no other country in the world keeps such a number. We are talking about peoples with completely distinct beliefs, customs and traditions, local languages and heritage. Each with its own interest too. While the Niger delta region is already a national issue because of their alleged discrimination, the political marginalization of the South East can no longer be with handled with levity. They need some reassurance that Nigeria is for all of us. Smart politicking is needed here to assuage their fears. Same can be said of some parts of the North central region that are clamoring for separation from their union with the North. Issues like these do not just evaporate into thin air. They stay around and resurface occasionally. Tinubu personifies the solution to these issues. He knows the appropriate politics to play at the right time. He knows how to play such games. He is doing it in Lagos, a city that is micro-Nigeria in nature (there is hardly any tribesmen or women who does not live in Lagos). A typical Nigerian leader must garner essential qualities of an astute and tested politician. Nigeria in 2023 needs his political experience and sagacity. A seasoned private and public administrator Having served creditably well as an accountant in a multi-nationals like Arthur Andersen, Deloitte, Haskins, & Sells, GTE Services Corporation and Mobil Oil Nigeria before venturing into politics, it will be a disservice to the nation if we do not allow such individual to spearhead the affairs of Nigeria at this stage. Brains do not die. Nobody has come to speak ill of him or his capacity to govern the state while he led it. The only wish of the citizenry in any country is having someone with the ability and capacity for efficient and effective governance. How that leader achieves this is secondary to them. Nigerians want to feel proud again. They want to be confident that there is a competent hand at the helm, and not just a weakling. They want to be sure policies that will be initiated are realistic and executable, not just some old Economics theories of consumption and importation. Asiwaju has as his selling point and in his CV the uncommon skill of one who knows how to hunt for those talents that will get the job done for him and the country at large.
Enough of Trial and Error leadership Already, Nigerians are not new to unprepared situations, especially when it seems to be exhibited by the leadership. We just had it in 2015. As critical as ministers and managers of important sectors of the economy should be, it took the sitting government, months to assemble. That is a lesson that must not repeat itself. We must all forestall such again. We do not have the luxury of that time. I repeat, this country needs a hands-on and highly experienced manager of our large population, state affairs and our abundant resources. We cannot play with 2023 elections. We are witnessing a sad reality of our youths leaving the shores of Nigeria in droves. We may see the worse of this scenario, if we give in to our emotions by voting an unprepared president in 2023. What happens to revisiting the antecedents of those who are aspiring to lead us. Atiku has his past as former Vice president. Tinubu’s records are there. Obi is an ex-governor of Anambra state. Anyone whose track records are not marketable enough must not be allowed closer to the national treasury. Tinunu has repeatedly emphasized his readiness to kick-start work from day one as president. That is a positive pointer about his knowledge of the country’s dire situation and how he plans to change the ugly narratives. Some of the policies being proposed by some candidates are too good to be true. But as usual, Nigerians are being led by emotions. Factors that should influence our decisions in 2023 elections are track records and capacity of individuals to propel Nigeria to greatness.
Tinubu remains the only candidate with these verifiable records.
JewsAreSatanic: The greatest fear of Judas is seeing Germany, Italy, Hungary and Czech refusing to support an all out war on Russia
The demons bombed the Nordstream pipelines to punish Germany for refusing to send weapons to Ukraine and for the growing pro Russian and anti Ukraine sentiments brewing in Germany.
Judas wants this war with Russia badly as their liquidity scam economy is facing existential l threat with Russia floating a parallel commodity based economy and for opposing subscribing to the satanic WEF 2030 Agenda.
For this Russia must be destroyed and her vast wealth commandeered into the hands of the same vile bastards.
On a serious note Russia must be supported at all costs. US, UK and co their own don too much for this World. And the new UK Prime Minister is confused, fear never let her talk for this matter and their new King is also confused...Biden is all alone
Newsline09: The deceit of Peter Obi's ambition being an Igbo agenda has frequently been used by the many people who have tried to sell the tarnished Peter Obi presidency to me. I guess a new narrative to justify the demagogue and the desperation of the Labour Party Presidential candidate.
I have simply stated the following in response to each of those narratives: Peter only cares about himself and his frantic attempt to hold onto power. Continuing to equate his self-serving desire with regional interest is absurd. Peter's ambitions are primarily motivated by personal vendetta and not by a common goal. He has been leading the attack on every Igbo stakeholder who is not in support of him with conscious desperation.
Peter Obi, who has continued to disparage all of our great sons and daughters, respected stakeholders, and ambassadors just for his own selfish exaltation, is the greatest enemy of the Igbos in Nigeria today.
How can he claim to be an Igbo candidate or agenda when he has yet to consult with the Igbos' apex body, Ọhaneze ndi Igbo, or many of our respected traditional rulers and custodians of culture and beyond, who are today mostly respected in Nigeria?
We have yet to witness the pool of influential Igbo political figures surround him, join his entourage, or perhaps congregate at "Ime-Obi" to present him with an Ofo in recognition of his claims to be their candidate.
Instead, his assertions that he is an Igbo candidate or that he represents a regional agenda serve only to appease his whims and caprices.
Recently, I read Chief Olisa Metuh, one of the few Igbo stakeholders, lamenting the snobbishness and impolite behavior of the Peter Obi supporters toward respected Igbo leaders. Peter, however, chose to remain silent and allowed his online urchins to continue defaming our elders and leaders for merely choosing to remain brief rather than publicly supporting the kindergarten Labour Party as opposed to their own original political parties. This, for every right-thinking individual, cannot be a regional agenda, but divisiveness.
In the past, we have watched as numerous prominent Igbos have used their ambition to advance national and local interests and win over their people. However, in the case of Peter Obi, we have observed that the man who frequently positions himself as the all-knowing and greatest among others, is busy attacking and denigrating his people just for the sake of his own self-interest and personal taste for power.
Who in their right mind would perceive Peter Obi's self-serving interests, which he has convinced his credulous and vulnerable supporters, are Igbo interests, when his victims have remained his own South East brothers?
Fr. Ejike Mbaka has been the victim of blackmail, intimidation, and sensationalism in order to have him destroyed for no more than holding a dissident opinion. As a result, the adoration ministry—which has continued to offer job opportunities, both emotional and spiritual support to mostly Igbos across the Southeast states—is now facing difficulties and may even collapse. All for Peter Obi to advance his desperation and tainted ambition.
We have also seen how Peter Obi's supporters have continued to denigrate Ike Ekweremadu, Emeka Ihedioha, Dave Umahi, Pius Ayim Pius, and a slew of other relevant Igbo stakeholders for simply expressing their views on national issues concerning the 2023 elections. Obviously, such cannot be the character of a man who wishes to run for office on the basis of a regional agenda when he has made his kinsmen his most victims.
Obi, or anyone else, is being rather unfortunate, hypocritical, pretentious, and cowardly when he asserts that his ambition in the Labour Party is in the best interests of Ndi-Igbo as a whole.
Peter Obi is running for office in his own right, not to advance Igbo interests. This is one truth we must drive deep into the consciousness of our people to rescue them from the lies and deceit of Peter and his cronies who are day-dreaming.

The time you wasted on this your disjointed article would have been put to better use if you lodged in a 2 Star hotel (I know you cannot afford a 5 star hotel, don't ask me how I knew) then have a sweet round ass call girl calm your nerves down.
Stop taking Panadol on another man's head. Go and treat yourself of OBIphobiasis (fear by corrupt people that Obi is coming) you're sick and stinking of self-deception
Tinubuadvocate: If that is the case that song can be singing anywhere or to anyone .
Story, na Peter Obi campaign song, all man knows that. Wetin concern Atiku with the song. Are AkwaIbomites Igbos for them to sing the song, is Atiku Igbo? The message of the song is clear...
heniford2: watch that video 90% of the people wear giving PDP clothes and cap mobiliesd by state governors that's to say 2k and 3k was shared for show up then watch jos own and be the judge Remember this is PDP state oh! when We start you will understand now individual are making plans to do there own rallies in stadium for Lp we will start in Delta state to tell you how Nigeria youths are ready

FFK in the morning Fear not I have prayed about the Muslim-Muslim ticket, it will go well
FFK in the afternoon Who are these Obedients, they are everywhere, they have ideas, they have vision. We seem to neglect them, but they are after us. They are here today and will still be here even after the elections

kayperry: So will God bill or charge you to help you, when you pray to God does he ask for goat, ram or sharwama.
Oga Peter Obi is a scam, he knows he can't win, but at all at all guyman wan cashout please make una donate una salaries, obedient wey no get work fit borrow from loan sharks don't worry una reward is in heaven
Na your papa be scam, he scammed you by telling you your get brain, way be say na saw dust dey your head, your papa lied to you, he scammed you
SmartPolician: This is what I expected this man to do a long time ago. Sit your ass down and join in grassroots campaigns. Nigerian diaspora communities who care about seeing a working country can set up Peter Obi support group and finance his campaigns in Nigeria.
Pretend all you want to, but you can never underestimate the importance of structure in Nigeria's politics - something that Labour Party lacks. Peter Obi should liaise with state reps of Labour Party and strategize how they will campaign in 36 states and the FCT.
Plus, repeating that We no dey give shishi nonsense in a country where APC and PDP have weaponized abject penury paints Labour Party as a bunch of time wasters.
We no dey give shishi...how can God bribe you to help you...
Whoever gives you money to help you is only trying to lure you to end as meat in his soup pot
Urchins trying hard to sow crisis into Labour Party...
Peter is a dollar Billionaire, he no get time to drag money with anyone.
Pat is an established economist both of them are UNN alumni (Lions) they no fit drag each other. Lion no dey fight fellow Lion na urchins they are after
A minority tribe with 5 states.. And Indeginous communities found in Rivers, Delta, Benue State, Bayelsa State, Akwa Ibom, Cross River and Edo States...a true minority tribe
I no blame you, I blame MTN who gave you free mb to come here and be insulting yourself
undisputedKOC: For many decades Igbos have been claiming to be the 3rd among the majority tribes Hausa and Yoruba in Nigeria. But very soon, the 2023 elections will expose that fraud to the whole world that Igbos are not a majority and should not be counted among the majority tribes in Nigeria.
2023 elections will prove once and for all that Ijaws are and should be counted as the 3rd majority tribe in Nigeria. We Ijaws are more than Igbos in Nigeria and Igbos are a minority tribe in reality.
How will the 2023 elections expose this? During the 2023 elections, around 95% of Igbos will vote for Peter Obi but Obi will still lose the elections because Igbos are a minority tribe.
But anyone the Ijaws support with their votes will win. And we Ijaws have chosen to support Tinubu because that's what is in our best interest and the best interest of the progress and development of the Niger Delta. Ijaws will make Tinubu president. Asari is already speaking the mind of our people.
We don hear...thank God NDLEA seized the tramadol meant for op and other 2.399 million other urchins...
I know the story, the ministry of internal revenue did not received any dime from Labour party as other parties paid to use government owned public spaces for campaign, that was why they were not allowed to use the place...they claimed they paid to one Uchenna Ezeokeke who works in the revenue board.. but it was not verified or the said Mr Uchenna scammed them, I don't know how that matter was later settled. Then I used to issue tickets to tipper drivers bringing chippings, gravel and sand into Anambra state from Enugu or Ebonyi state based on IGR stuff...it was a contract by Igwe Kenneth of Amansea...we stay right after the Ezu River bridge on Awka-Ugwuoba border...
As for campaign billboards na Awka/Aguleri youths destroyed Ifeanyi Uba's billboards because of Obiano their son, Awka/Aguleri youths went on rampage that it's their turn (Anambra North) to produce governor. Peter Obi did not demolished any Labour Party billboards
