No sensible born again Christian has this hate filled heart like you Christian hypocrites in Nigeria.
Do you think Jesus Christ will behave the same way you hypocrites does? People filed with bile, hatred, bitterness, insults, unforgiving, intolerance, impatience, disregard for constituted authority, arsonists, profanity, vengeful, inciting, lovers of corruption & the corrupt, purveyors of fake news, unpatriotic etc.

Pls remove the word Christian from your context cos you hypocrites are far from it way of life.

I'm a genuine Christian from the North and I'll be voting and mobilizing for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

lhordspy:
Lol. Cheap emotional strategy. Lies upon propagandas.

So No signs of fire or black spot in the kiosk nearby or the trees close to the place. i dont know arsonists now wait behind to make sure fire dont spread. Sorry i refused to be swayed.

Someone set his/her chairs and dead-generator on fire and run to twitter to start screaming political doings. Wake-up ! Days of pity-votes are over.

Labour party that doesnt even have a solid base and support in IMO state, down southeast ....are screaming that politicians are after them in the North. We are talking kebbi here, deep into North....... not even Benue.

Who are you ?

etrouble:
Bring out your father who is fit to rule. You will all cry blood when Tinubu is sworn in as President next year

Aufbauh:
Oyedepo & Co did more than this before prior to 2015. They campaigned opening against Buhari, even threatened the gate of hell against anyone who vote for him but yet lose their polling units.

Like I said we've passed through this route before and came out victorious!

Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be the 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

adamusuleiman1:
Obi is popular within the Christian community.

Tflex01:
We should compensate him with CAN president after coming 4th in next February election.



God can not be mocked.

Babachir Lawal don dump Obi supporters so soon?

The much-touted lecture at Chatham House in London, England, where the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Party (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, was expected to finally come clean with the Nigerian people turned out a monumental embarrassment. But the press must not fall for its frenzy. It is nothing but a fragment of a long-running scheme. The apparent logic is that the show of shame would rapidly grow to overshadow the prevailing charges against the Asiwaju, especially a drug case.

But the Nigerian masses are no fools.

Like the audience at the Chatham House, the Nigerian masses will not back down from probing the APC flagbearer on the serious allegations facing him. These allegations, of course, hover around his biographical details, such as name, age, state of birth and origin, education, career, and the source of his sudden billions. Throw in perjury, bribery, forgery, and so forth… And now the incident at Chatham!

There is also the issue of a failing health. Even blind men could see that the Asiwaju no longer has the physical ability nor the mental stability for any serious leadership position. Further, Nigeria’s misfortune with two ailing presidents—in Umar Yar’Adua and Muhammadu Buhari—is still fresh in our memory. Though both leaders would become largely incapacitated while in office due to ill-health; they never appeared as unhealthy or as impaired as Tinubu before they were elected.

Not to be forgotten is corruption. Running away to a foreign land or dodging the press will not cut it. The masses are keenly aware that despite Nigeria’s sleazy reputation, none of her leaders in history—whether military or civilian—assumed the governance of the country with a background as shady as that of Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Of course, most of these charges have been proven beyond reasonable doubt, and ought to be very disqualifying. However, Tinubu’s montage of mess has lingered up to the point of shaming Nigeria at the Chatham House, because of the prevailing socio-political culture at home. The civil society is as wobbling as the country’s economy. The local press, which is typically vibrant, has become understandably overwhelmed or intimidated and thus appears to be treating anything relating to the Asiwaju with kid gloves.

BUT the allegation of drug trafficking is a new low in the Nigerian presidential politics. Tinubu and his handlers recognize its magnitude. They know it is like none of the other accusations and have been perfecting schemes that could overshadow the crisis. One could notice the pattern of the unending shows of shame in his campaign, including the Chatham calamity. The spirited shenanigan is a page from the Donald Trump political book: ‘The best solution to a crisis is another explosive crisis.’ Be that as it may, the Nigerian press must not allow the drug trafficking issue to be swept under the carpet without full investigation, no matter what.

The consequences are grave.

To refresh, the records show that Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu forfeited $460,000.00 to the authorities in the United States of America, allegedly for drugs trafficking and money laundering. The American country is also known to be very unforgiving of individuals who use drug proceeds to gain power in foreign nations. A perfect example is the case of Manuel Antonio Noriega, the former President of Panama.

Like Tinubu, Noriega had amassed a huge personal fortune but had a background tainted with drug allegations. Though the U. S. authorities initially turned a blind eye to the Panama president, allowing him to enter the country as he pleased, they chose the pertinent time to exhume his drug case. They eventually convicted Noriega, removed him from power, jailed him for life, and shamed his country forever.

A similar fate awaits Nigeria if Tinubu is ever to emerge president. Like the incident at Chatham, the world would like to know the Asiwaju. Since the former Lagos State Governor has continued to deny any connection to massive corruption in Nigeria, the logical question becomes: What is the source of this man’s sudden billions?

Any serious attempt to answer the above question must peep into Tinubu’s evasive past. The drug case that once led to his forfeiture of $460,000.00 will automatically take center stage.

Some legal commentators have argued that the narcotics case is barred by the Statute of Limitation and Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution. But they are merely glancing the gist from a foggy lens. The objective fact is that the very nature of this high-profile case still presents prosecutors clear legal avenues to explore the Separate Sovereigns Doctrine to seek Tinubu’s indictment. Yes!

Nigeria has endured all manners of stigma in the comity of nations. The last thing the country would wish is a president who is globally seen as a corrupt kingpin cum drug lord.

Instead of addressing the drug charges, the Tinubu campaign has deployed a cocky cocktail of coercion, intimidation, distractions, and deceptions, heaping insults on the media organizations, and going as far as threatening them with baseless lawsuits. In short, the APC flagbearer has been doing everything humanly possible to avoid being held accountable for his past or present. The man dodges press interviews. He dodges town hall meetings. He dodges presidential debates. He dodges the truth. Thus, the hullabaloo at the Chatham House was not unexpected.

THE PRESS must not succumb to the sheer arrogance and political chicanery. The men and women of the press should live up to their constitutional obligations and thoroughly interrogate the former Lagos State governor on the drug allegations. Please!!

Importantly, there must be consequences for bad behavior in the relationship between the press and politicians. The media organizations must not be seen to be promoting an anti-democratic character—in this case Mr. Bola Tinubu—who continually circumvents an integral role of the press, which is to not only ensure that people in a democracy are free to receive information and ask questions, but also to investigate individuals seeking public office without fear or favor.

fijiuba:
PETER OBI is the only politician in the history of Nigerian that politicians and oppositions are arguing about his investments and not his embezzlement.

Arguing why he SAVED MONEY and not that he looted money arguing about the amount he left behind for his successor and not the debts he left

We have not seen a politician like this in the history of Nigerian, no wonder corrupt nd selfish people are finding it difficult to believe and accept him

Moh247:
14 contestants

If One gets 30% according to you

The rest contestants would have 70% to share..

Kwankwaso, Atiku, Kola Abiola and Sowore would probably get more votes than Obi

Moh247:
60% turn out still gives Tinubu a cool 1.5m votes with your 30% total vote casted

This is still a massive victory if Buhari could win with 14million on 36states plus FCT, Tinubu getting 1.5m 1.3m votes in Lagos alone is huge

Moh247:
Firstly Tinubu is getting nothing less than 55% of total vote casted in Lagos

But using your own statistics, Lagos has over 7 million total registered voters

30% of 7m+ is 2.5million votes only from one single state out of the 36 others with FCT
