They'd still come here to defend the Pandora criminal, thinking of him an angel despite several proofs of his criminality. I won't be surprised if the 6billion meant for the same road is traced to his daughter's account.

LeoDeKing:
The topic is about Anambra and has nothing to do with Lagos. But here you are, took a long leap from Anambra and started talking about Lagos.

If I may ask, is it that pandora Obituary has made Anambra so useless that talking about it is mere waste of energy?

LegendHero:
Lol you don’t even know about your Anambra.

DesignMaestro:
Why now? Imagine, he left PDP 24th May and emerged as LP presidential candidate on 30th. With less than a week membership? He obviously bought the ticket.

And he's claiming to be distinct 🙁
What kind of hypocrisy is this?

New Zealander-Nigerian mixed martial artist, Israel Adesanya has described Nigeria as “a very corrupt place”.

He said he loves Nigerians but there are a lot of red flags about the country.

The Last Stylebender was featured in the recent episode of the Hut Boxin’ audiovisual podcast.

Adesanya pointed out that the Nigerian leaders are desperate to loot public funds.

He said, “Nigeria is a very corrupt place. I love my people but it is just that the government; everyone trying to find a way to siphon money.”

Recall that Israel Adesanya donned the Nigerian flag as he defeated long-term foe Alex Pereira via knockout at UFC 287 on April 9, 2023, to reclaim his Middleweight title.

He was paid $3.18 million for his fight against the Brazilian, making him the third current highest-paid UFC Fighter, behind Conor McGregor and Jon Jones.

Chimamanda has appeared on Times 100 most influential individuals on several occasions.

She's the second most influential from this part of the would after Ngozi Okonjo Iwela.

She eats and dines with presidents.

That's not someone you joke with ooooo

In court papers, @PeterObi, Nigeria's Labour party candidate in Feb 25 presidential poll, pleads that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, now President-elect, was not qualified to contest because he had been fined $460,000 for "narcotics trafficking" in 1993 by the U.S District Court, Illinois.

The court ordered “that the funds in the amount of $460,000 in account in the name of Bola Tinubu represents proceeds of narcotics or were involved in financial transactions in violation of 18 U.S.C ss 1956 and 1957 and therefore these funds are forfeited to the United States.”

North and Southwest did not vote for you sir. These are the two regions with the highest registered votes and they rejected you because they do not know you and your tribal and religious divisive campaign turned off patriots who are mostly not from your religion and tribe. This is the truth you keep away from your followers and your leaked video with Bishop Oyedpo were in secret you admitted that SW and Yoruba in Kogi, Kwara and Niger state do not know and accept you confirm that you know the truth.

My Obidients, a very happy Holy Month of Easter and Ramadan to you all. As we celebrate the Easter and look forward to a joyous Eid El Fitr, we pray for God Almighty's guidance, protection and blessings as we face and pass through litany of challenges in our dear country, Nigeria- flawed electoral processes, insecurity, weak institutions, multidimensional poverty, unemployment, inflation, lack of justice, fairness, equity, opportunities and many more.

As we reflect on these challenges and look forward to a New Nigeria that is POssible, Datti and I are painfully mindful that for the mere reason of being OBIdient, most of you have suffered vituperations, physical attacks, loss of rights and privileges, hateful trolls, indignities and vexatious fighting words, even from some of those we long regarded as civic leaders and conscience of our nation.

Please bear such attacks as the sacrifices that we are all required to make in order to create a New Nigeria, where justice, equity, fairness, love and prosperity shall reign.

Be assured that Datti and I are with you, and that the ongoing unfortunate orchestrated efforts to demarket and delegitimize the OBIdient Movement will fail.

We are fully structured and have remained focused and steadfast in addressing the ills in our nation; while underpinning the supremacy of our Constitution and imperatives of the rule of law. Do not relent; and do not be lured into unnecessary conflicts.

Be assured that in the fullness of time, our mission to rescue Nigeria from those engaged in State Capture will come to fruition.

We are also using all lawful and peaceful means allowed under our laws and constitution to reclaim our mandate to create a New Nigeria that is POssible.

Therefore, in all your actions and inactions, I continue to implore you to be law abiding, respectful and peaceful.

In all you do, always remember those immortal words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jnr, that "The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience, but how he stands at times of controversy and challenges". A New Nigeria is Indeed POssible.

God bless you all, and bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria. -PO

They have entered the soup Bayo promised them.

Your own case of criminal defamations and slander will be so easy for DSS to bring you to court in handcuffs for prosecution You will all get sense las las. One after the other, Bayo Onanuga and DSS will get you each your own day in court so they do not clash.

FreeStuffsNG:
Keep playing. Nothing again touches Asiwaju Tinubu. He is now full time property of the Nigeria soverign.

If you are in doubt, we will soon see where those to be arrested overseas like India and be deported to Nigeria for drug related reasons will come from in Nigeria.

You are putting more searchlights on your guys overseas. And for that, you are doing God's work.

Kwashiman:
Go and cry to Uber facts, your druggie is now trending globally, Chimamanda pass una 😂😂😂😂

In 1993, Bola Ahmed Tinubu surrendered $460,000 to the US government after a Chicago court found the income came from heroin trafficking.

Most of the villages have poor access so this tricyle is a brilliant and effective way to move the villagers through the rough terrains till it gets to a motorable access road or hospital. It will also be cheap to fuel and manage.

You should have asked the man to tell you what is inside. It is that extended part that is the unit. The tricycle is the mechanism to move the ambulance section

Visited a village inside Ogun state and this is what Ogun state government gave a health care center as Ambulance 🚑!!! Nigeria 🇳🇬 why 🤦‍♂️😭😭

Saga16:
No amount of intimidation can stop Apapa.

How can a party brazenly forge High court documents and instruments?

Obi's candidacy would be declared null and void as a result of such brigandage.

SamboAnguissa:
People stupid enough to believe Jibrin El Sudani. You think they will bat an eyelid before believing this? One of their newest mpuri mriri driven madness is that Biden is coming to Nigeria to install PitObi. Those guys are so entertaining.

Saga16:
According to Nnamdi Kanu, Obi's taste is northern men.

Thedon22:
So, what do you call all the online abuses you untrained, foolish, degenerates hauled on Soyinka for making an harmless and neutral opinion. After bullying your own Kenneth Okonkwo for admitting the truth you then went on to reverred and elderly Soyinka Just because your tribesman lost an election. Does that make any sense?

LP on Obi’s Travails: They tried to entrap him with women, dug into his finances, bank accts

•Now they want him to flee Nigeria

The 2023 General Elections may have come and gone but the dispute over the credibility of the process continues to linger with barely seven weeks to May 29th, when the President-Elect is scheduled to be sworn into office.

However, following the intensity of Mr Peter Obi’s challenge, he, according to his party, has become a target of state-sponsored intimidation, blackmail, threats, invasion of privacy and other acts of subterfuge aimed at forcing him to abandon his legal challenge.

Perhaps for the first time in Nigeria’s recent political history, a leading opposition figure is allegedly being pressured by state actors to leave his homeland because his presence is said to be threatening national stability.

Only last week, the Department of State Security DSS, raised an alarm that political actors were plotting to orchestrate violence through “demonstrations and frivolous court orders” to stop the scheduled presidential inauguration on May 29th all in a bid to pave the way for an illegal interim government.

Within days, the Federal Government through the Minister for Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed in far away Washington DC, in the United States of America, accused the LP candidate and his running mate, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed of making treasonable remarks about the outcome of the presidential polls.

He was quoted by the State-owned News Agency of Nigeria, as saying, “Obi and his running mate, Datti Baba-Ahmed, cannot be threatening Nigerians that if the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, of the All Progressives Congress is sworn-in on May 29, it will be the end of democracy in Nigeria.

“This is treason. You cannot be inviting insurrection, and this is what they are doing. Obi’s statement is that of a desperate person, he is not the Democrat that he claimed to be. A democrat should not believe in democracy only when he wins the election.” The minister’s comments have put party supporters on edge.

A member of the LP Presidential Campaign Council who pleaded anonymity so as not to jeopardize internal investigations explained that the attacks against the candidate started as soon as the campaigns started.

He said, “We have since been made aware of the orchestrated move by the state to sabotage our candidate starting from our campaigns.

“They tried entrapment by stationing all kinds of women at hotels where our candidate lodged during the campaigns that failed.

“They have been going through records of his financial dealings and bank accounts. They’ve found nothing incriminating.

“They tried bringing up the Panama papers that also failed to stick, then they resorted to the oldest trick in the book-wire tapping.”

Speaking in a similar vein, the Chief Spokesperson of the Labour Party Presidential Campaign Council, Dr Yunusa Tanko, explained that the LP candidate has lately come under intense pressure to flee Nigeria.

He said, “Before, throughout and after the campaigns, it is on record that Mr Peter Obi maintained his commitment and focus on an issues-based campaign, about a New Nigeria that is Possible, a shift of emphasis from consumption to production, as well as a New Nigeria characterized by inclusion, justice, equity, fairness and prosperity.

“ He repeatedly stated that no one should vote for him based on tribe or religion, but rather on the assessment of Character, Competence, Capacity, Credibility and Compassion, to create a New Nigeria!

“Most unfortunately, in the past few weeks, Mr Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate in the February 25th, 2023 presidential election has been contacted by associates, elder statesmen, family and friends with concerns for his personal safety.

“These concerns have increased intensely in the last few days as immense pressure, has been mounted directly on Mr Obi to leave the country, no doubt, from sources allied to the All-Progressive Congress (APC) and its agents in the security services.

“ Mr Obi has been repeatedly and categorically told that he has a choice to leave Nigeria or face the prospect of being arrested on false charges of inciting insurrection in the country.

“It is difficult to fathom and regrettably unfortunate that state institutions have become part of a well calculated, deliberate and orchestrated campaign of calumny by the APC to discredit and delegitimize Mr Peter Obi and compel him to abandon his right to seek redress in court following the outcome of the last election which was adjudged both locally and internationally to have failed to meet any standard of credibility or fairness.”

Tanko further said, “As part of the grand design, they are circulating a fake doctored audio call. At no time throughout the campaign and now did Mr Peter Obi ever say, think or even imply that the 2023 election is or was a religious war.

“It is very sad and wicked the attempts to manipulate Nigerians. Our legal team has been instructed to take appropriate legal actions against media outlets that make themselves willing tools in the hands of APC’s malicious propagandists.

“Despite the public denunciation of the fake audio call, its contents have been translated into other Nigerian languages and circulated in most parts of Northern Nigeria with some of our Muslim clerics deceived and instigated to use the contents for their sermons at various Mosques during the usual Friday prayers.

“This is a dangerous development at a time when the APC led-government and the APC party which have been awarded undeserved and unfair victory should be more concerned in addressing the ethnic and religious frictions unfortunately created by the outcome of the elections.

“Yet unsatisfied but determined to cause more problems, Mr Lai Mohammed, who fancies himself as modern-day Goebbels is on a tour of some selected countries to present an alternative story about the 2023 discredited election, and from his first statement in Washington has assumed the role of the courts by stating that Mr Obi has no pathway to victory.

“This is a direct intimidation of the courts and a waste of Nigerian taxpayers’ money.

“There are many more campaigns of calumny against Mr Peter Obi planned for the near future both before and during the court process.

“However, we want to make it clear to the APC party, APC led-government and its agents that Mr Peter Obi, a widely travelled man, has no intention to leave the country at this time irrespective of the pressure on him and his family.

“He is determined as he had stated in his first and only press conference after the election to challenge the outcome of the election and the process has begun. It is his fundamental right!

“While we call on all concerned Nigerians and the International Community to caution APC and the APC Led-government to stop their nasty attacks, Mr Peter Obi’s focus and commitment to lawfully and peacefully retrieve our mandate to secure and unite our Nation, take Nigeria from consumption to production, pull millions of Nigerians out of multidimensional poverty, especially in the North and jumpstart prosperity through agricultural, industrial and technological revolution remains unchanged.

“He has continued to impress upon his supporters, the essence of the legal process and will not now or in the future encourage any violence against the state.

“He has absolutely no reason for this nor is he desperate especially as throughout the campaign, he called for a new Nigeria defined by opportunities for all, an end to poverty and criminality in government, especially corruption and an end to tribal and religious division and bigotry.

“It is for this reason that we appeal to revered religious leaders especially in the North not to be part of the grand design of the state apparatus to further increase the religious and ethnic divides in the country. Irrespective of the outcome of the court process, we have an obligation to strive for the peace and co-existence of all Nigerians.

“We call on President Buhari to rein in his desperate officials at all levels as their actions or inactions could lead to an unnecessary crisis in the country.

“Elections are over, and we are in court to retrieve our stolen mandate. We reiterate that we are doing so through all lawful and peaceful options in line with our legal system and constitution, and we continue to implore all Nigerians to remain peaceful and law-abiding.

“Those fixated with heating up the polity, creating divisions, tensions and hatred within and outside Nigeria should remember that Nigeria is our only country.

“Our focus should be on how to address the litany of challenges facing us such as deliberate non-adherence to the election process, the parlous state of our economy, unsustainable debt burden, lamentable unemployment and inflation, insecurity and multi-dimensional poverty. A New Nigeria is Indeed Possible and God will help us.”

Public affairs analyst and Executive Director of Civil Societies Legislative and Advocacy Centre, Auwual Musa Rafsanjani, expressed the view that citizens have a constitutionally guaranteed right to freely hold and express their opinions within the confines of the law.

He recalled that ahead of the 2015 elections, opposition political figures threatened to form a parallel government if the elections were rigged “Nobody accused them of committing treason.”

Rafsanjani cautioned politicians against heating up the polity in pursuit of political ends because in the long run, if there was a breakdown of law and order, the entire nation would be at the receiving end.
