But my candidate is still younger, vibrant and stronger than your candidate��

Unfortunately, your candidate did not prepare for this opportunity. (I mean he did not built bridges around Niger and build people who would build a tremendous support for him now)

condralbedez:
If elrufia is tired at his age,I wonder how mannabbqgrill and his crews,dnt see that BAT Is very old to rule them.

His age is thisame with your candidate. What you are saying implies to your candidate too

ganisucks:
Keep on lying. Confidential informants in APC PCC and SWAGA are saying that there's fire on the mountain. People are running up and down trying to find out how they can either bribe or threaten the kaduna governor to recant his statement or change his tone.

You are supposed to work with CIA and FBI.
You people like deceiving yourselves. In less than 98days everyone will have their reports card. Please no one should come here and say it was rigged. God bless us all

RE: Governor Nasir El-Rufai's Video

Our attention has been drawn to a redacted video of Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, in which he spoke about an informal debate in the All Progressives Congress on whether the older politicians should give way to the younger ones.

The governor said Asiwaju was aware of the debate. We want to make it crystal clear that it is normal in any political organisation to engage in such dialectics. El-Rufai did not commit any sin by making his view known.

We also want to make it crystal clear that the video was part of a longer version, from which mischief makers extracted the trending segment.

It was recorded in May this year before the presidential primaries of the party, which Tinubu won by landslide, beating the younger turks in the party.

However, in politics, as soon as a candidate emerges from a political party after each primary, everyone rallies round the candidate to work for the party and ensure its success at the general elections.

Governor El-Rufai has done no less. He is fully in support of Asiwaju Tinubu. He is committed to Tinubu’s election next February.

He is one governor Asiwaju believes will play an important role in his incoming administration, as Asiwaju demonstrated in Kaduna last October, begging El-Rufai to forget going abroad for another degree.

Mischief makers excerpted the video to continue to push their fallacious narrative that Asiwaju, a 70 year-old is not strong to govern Nigeria.

The mischief makers forgot however that their perennial presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar is older than Tinubu and that the world’s second leading democracy, United States of America, has an 80 year-old man at the helm.

For the umpteenth time, we want to state without equivocation that Asiwaju is strong enough to go through the rigours of the campaigns. He has been attending meetings, campaigns, town hall events and attending to people, back-to-back.

In Mallam El-rufai's words (Translated)

“I have spoken to Tinubu Asiwaju even before primaries that I don’t want any position.

But he said I want you to help me and I assured him that we will help him but he should know I don’t want any position because I’m tired”

I thank God for everything he has done to me. To be sincere any kind of work you want me to do, there are young people that work together with me that can do it.
And if they can do this work, why should I collect young people jobs when I’m getting old?

“I’m 62 this year and I’ll be 63 next year. I think I should be grateful to God and leave the job for others to do because I’m becoming weak but some did not accept the excuses I gave.

Even Asiwaju we are still arguing with him on the excuses I gave”

but we will continue to discuss on it. That is the plain truth.

I did not seek for any position and whoever said I seek for any position has lied".

Something's the media will not show you. In the video we can see the Governor of imo state telling the security officers to close the gate and not to allow anyone out. As if it's by force to attend the meeting.

The MC kept reminding them that they were on love TV, maybe to comport themselves, but they were all ready to leave.

Do you think APC can win Imo State?. Watch the video.

I watched it live!
Please go and rewind the video 10min backwards and stop fooling yourselves here.

Goodoldays:
You know this reality because….the world has moved on,we can’t be recycling old people who has plunged this country in mess and expect to get a different result.Maybe selling it to Sowore and donating to charity would be better than voting a known thief and drug pusher.

Who is new person that is contesting?

Oghene1st:
I laugh. Wait for when Obi will storm Warri and Asaba simultaneously.

Am still waiting for 2 million match in the north o. Kano, Sokoto, Kastina, Zamfara etc.


Regional Candidate, Lolz

chikason22:
Why are urchins like this So the fake bishops and pastors Thièfnubu hired are for Owembe abi. Na WA for Batstards oo

The CAN Officials that met with Tinubu, are they fale?

PrinceOfLagos:
You're angry because nobody is endorsing Thiefnibu abi ?

Who then endorse Obi?
I watched the event live, Gov. Wike said it 3times that he did not endorse him o 'don't misquote me am I didn't say I endorse Obi" 3x

Accept God's verdict on 2023. Tinubu is the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The numbers of LP Candidates contesting for the Senate and House of Reps. shows the reality on ground.

babapressy:
You're funny oooo
So Tinubu and Atiku are not desperate? Politics is a game. Why did Tinubu go for Muslim Muslim ticket despite the complain of the masses and major bodies in the country?

Thank God you know the reason for the m/m tickets

BaddestQueen:
Dear mr fayose if you are truly advocate of southern presidency then urge tinubu to step down for Obi because Obi has better chance than tinubu.

2023 election Will be One of a kind where traditional Old ways of politicians influencing votes Will be reduced to lowest.
Right now Obi controls both SE and SS with pdp sharing parts of south South too.
While tinubu only has SW which Will be except Lagos that will be a close contest.
Not forgetting pdp controls osun and Adeleke will definitely repay atiku back.
So in essence tinubu will win his stronghold but not with very wide margin.

Come to North Central the most affected areas of apc bad governance.
They won't even touch apc with long Pole.
It's pdp vs LP over there.

Coming to the core North.
With the Way southerners are queing behind Obi I won't be surprised if the North picks atiku as a consensus candidate because they knew the implications of splitting their votes between atiku kwankwaso and tinubu.
Atiku being their brother and More acceptable in the South than tinubu and also In a major party.
The choice won't be hard for them like they're already doing.

So it's for the best interest of the South if tinubu steps down for Obi.

God bless the incoming president Peter Obi CGFR

Hahahaha

Great analyst, since Obi is going to win no need to seek someone to step down again. Congrats!

The obsessions of David Hundeyin

My dear friend and brother Dr. Reuben Abati, I watched you and a colleague of yours by the name of Mr. Rufai Oseni interview a young man by the name of David Hundeyin, who apparently lives abroad and who describes himself as an “investigative journalist”, on your morning show last Tuesday.

The topic was Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his so-called links with the drug business.

Whilst insisting that Tinubu was a drug lord, your guest did not answer the question that was put to him by Oseni.

He asked, “On Channels Television last night Femi Fani-Kayode said $1 million USD was returned to Bola Tinubu by the U.S. authorities after the investigation was completed and only $460,000 USD was seized due to tax that was not paid on his investments. Is this true?”

This was a good question which for obvious reasons your young guest David refused to answer.

He could NOT refute the assertion and the FACT that the FBI returned $1 million USD to Tinubu because he knew it was true.

He could not explain why only $460,000 USD was seized and forefeited and he refused to acknowledge that it was seized for tax reasons.

Advertisement
Instead he claimed that the money that was seized was indeed drug money which is an allegation that the Americans themselves clearly and categorically REFUTED when they were asked about the matter by the Nigerian authorities.

One Mr. Bonner wrote a letter in plain English on behalf of the American Embassy in Nigeria in which he said that Tinubu had NOT been INDICTED or CONVICTED of ANY crime.

This means that Tinubu was neither formally charged to court nor convicted by any court of law for drug or drug-related offences or indeed any other offences at all in America after what I am sure was a thorough criminal investigation into the source of his funds.

He came out of it all triumphant, not wanting, and with flying colours.

Thanks be to God!

Instead of rejoicing that his compatriot was declared as clean as a whistle after such a rigorous and thorough criminal investigation people like David are still attempting to convict him for a crime he never committed in the court of public opinion 30 years later.

This is indeed a great shame. It is also a crime in itself.

They actually believe that they know better than the Federal Bureau of Investigation and that Tinubu is a dangerous criminal and drug lord even though the Americans have said clearly and categorically that there is NO evidence to suggest that this is the case.

Investigative journalism is one thing and I commend and salute the courage of those that conduct such investigations in good faith, with an objective mind and in earnest.

However, obsession and the obsessive persecution of an innocent man borne out of bitterness, hate and envy and couched in the cloak of investigative journalism is quite another.

It is like the proverbial crooked, biased, corrupt, obsessed and, more often than not, the sociopathic and mentally ill criminal prosecutor who is totally and completely obsessed with jailing his innocent victim even though he knows that the man has done no wrong.

There is indeed a special place in hell reserved for such people and Hundeyin appears to fit the bill.

He reminds me of the insane and obsessed policeman by the name of Javert in Victor Hugo’s famous literary and highly celebrated masterpiece which was originally written in 1810, titled ‘Les Miserables’ who dedicated his life to attempting to jail the hero of the book, an innocent, humble, pious and reformed character with a kind and golden heart, by the name of Jean Valjean.

So obsessed was Javert with jailing his innocent victim Valjean that he ended up committing suicide after he discovered that had failed in his evil quest and after he realised that the darkness in him could not overcome the light in his victim.

Let us hope young David does not end up doing the same thing a few years down the line.

Frankly, I cannot fathom how people like him sleep at night with their inherent wickedness and vicious lies.

Worse still after they tell such lies they label anyone that attempts to set the record straight and tells the plain truth with evidence proving it as either being ignorant or a liar.

How this young man can get on television and tell such lies about his own compatriots from a foreign land and with such conviction I just don’t know.

Is he the victim of mind control, is he under a spell or has he been hypnotised?

Or is it that he is simply the seed and spawn of satan, what the Bible describes as a “son of perdition” and utterly evil?

His mendacities are like those of the proverbial serpent that misled Eve in the Garden of Eden: dangerous, deceitful, calculated, well-researched, well-served, well-crafted, well-delivered and well-designed to hurt, shatter, defame, destroy, assasinate, traumatise and do as much damage as possible to whoever he seeks to target.

His obsession with Tinubu and his family borders on madness: at the very best it is simply uncharitable and at worst, it is savage and wicked.

Young David is a sick man. He is lost. He is in desperate need of prayer. He is a pathological and obsessive liar and he is best treated with the contempt that he deserves.

He is a teller of tales, an accuser of the brethren and an agent of Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies.

Like the evil and mystical character in Robert Browning’s famous book titled ‘The Pied Piper of Hamlin’, his sweet tongue and strange music lead to nothing but shattered dreams, dashed hopes, failure, loss, sadness, tragedy and destruction to all those that believe in him and follow him.

The question he needed to answer, which he conveniently refused to do, was simple:

“Why was $1 million USD returned to Tinubu if the money were the proceeds of drugs?”

He had NO answer for that.

YES there WAS an investigation into the funds in Bola Tinubu’s account approximately 30 years ago by the FBI.

YES there WAS a civil forfeiture of $1,460,000 USD PENDING the course of the investigation.

And YES after the investigation was COMPLETED $1 million USD WAS RETURNED to Tinubu.

These are the FACTS!

No one can refute them and only the criminally insane and the obsessively delusional can deny them.

The records are there for all to see but young David will not talk about that or show you those documents because it defeats and contradicts his sinister and nefarious purpose.

Now permit me to ask the following questions:

Does it make sense to suggest that the FBI would return $1 million USD if it was drug money?

Would Tinubu not have been in jail for life by now in America if that $1 million USD had been in any way linked to drugs?

The $460,000 USD was seized only as a consequence of the IRS claiming and asserting that he had not paid tax on his numerous American investments.

Tinubu chose not to challenge or dispute that claim and assertion by the IRS even though he was perfectly within his rights to do so and hence he willingly forfeited that money.

The seizure of the $460,000 USD had NOTHING to do with drugs or links to drug trafficking.

Rather it had EVERYTHING to do with tax and it was the IRS that claimed it.

The FBI investigated Tinubu for links to drugs and laundering drug money and they found NOTHING.

He came out clean.

Most of the money they originally seized was returned. The money that was not returned had NOTHING to do with drugs.

Tinubu is a clean, wholesome, hard-working and innocent man and those making these allegations are simply trying to derail his presidential ambition.

They are also filled with hate and they resent his great successes in life.

The young man David told Arise Television that yours truly had lied but he was unable to say where, when and how.

Was it a lie that $1 million USD was returned to Tinubu?

Was it a lie that the $460,000 USD that was forfeited was due to non-payment of taxes on his lawful and legitimate investments?

Was it a lie that Tinubu was not indicted?

Was it a lie that he was not charged or convicted?

Was it a lie that the Americans themselves said he had committed no crime and that he was never a drug dealer?

The answer to all these questions is a resounding NO!

I never told a single lie during the course of my Channel’s Television ‘Politics Today’ interview with Mr. Seun Okinbaloye when we discussed Tinubu’s so-called involvement with the drug business and the absurd assertion and notion that he is a drug lord.

It is rather a young David that is the liar and not me.

He lied on Arise Television. He lied in his crass, irresponsible and defamatory documentary which is on Youtube and he has lied everywhere else.

His name ought to be Pinnochio and not David.

His father’s name should have been Mr. ‘Oni iro ni mo bi’ and not Mr. Hundeyin.

Worse still he is obsessed with his own lies.

He actually believes that the lies he is telling are true.

Nothing could be more dangerous than this.

If he has the courage of his convictions I urge him to come to Nigeria and repeat these lies and grave allegations here.

He should bring his so-called evidence with him and stop talking rubbish from the safety of foreign lands where he cannot easily be traced or held accountable.

He should be a man and stop running all over the world like a headless chicken after telling his childish, puerile and monumental fibs.

If he has something to say let him come home and say it here, on Nigerian soil.

Not in America. Not in the UK. Not in Canada. Not in France. Let him come here and say it!

And if he does I promise him that I will direct my Personal Assistant to challenge him to a nationally televised public debate on this and any other issue touching and concerning our nation and his young life.

Here is a young man that delights in talking asinine, absurd, tendentious, unintelligent and unsubstantiated gibberish from abroad and refuses to come home to state whatever case he has in a courageous and honorable manner.

How can you describe yourself as an investigative journalist of repute and at the same time be a flaming coward?

Here is a young man who said NADECO was a fraud.

Here is a young man that said that the 7 years of heroic and bitter struggle against the military and for democracy in our country, in which thousands were killed, maimed, tortured, injured, traumatised, dehumanised, incarcerated, driven into exile and lost their loved ones was nothing but a scam.

Here is a young man that had the nerve and temerity to describe the late Chief MKO Abiola, the winner of the June 12th, 1993 presidential election and an authentic Nigerian hero and martyr, as yet another drug lord without providing any tangible evidence whatsoever to substantiate his grave allegation.

Finally here is a young man that believes that there is NO God and that actually celebrated the death of his own father by pouring insults and curses on the poor man whilst he was still on his deathbed.

Is this the type of creature that Nigerians should take seriously?

Do we need to pay any more attention to his irritating and disingenuous smear campaign and specious lies all couched in the false claim of “investigative journalism?”

The only thing that needs to be investigated about young David is the state of his mind, the size of his brain and the content of his character.

He is filled with so much vitriol, bile, bitterness and hate and he is propelled and motivated by so much deceit.

Aside from that, we know that he is working for the intelligence unit of a particular political party and presidential campaign council.

All this we know and when the time is right we will expose them all and show the world the type of libellous, slanderous, unconscionable, unpatriotic, unrelenting and irresponsible malefactor and leprous plague that young David and those that he works for really are.

Meanwhile, we shall continue to focus on winning the election and not be distracted by this irritating nuisance and ranting ant with his implausible, sordid, unacceptable and nonsensical fairy tales.

Permit me to end this contribution with the following.

Many of us, including yours truly, were misled by the disinformation that we were fed with in the past and that were peddled over the years about Tinubu.

We actually bought the lie that he was indeed involved in the drug business 30 years ago simply because of the salacious and false assertion and baseless allegation of seized “drug” funds.

Sadly we only read the headlines and did not read the full story.

We refused to look behind the veil, dig deep and do our own research instead, we relied on the research and misinformation of others.

Simply put, we were fooled and unjustifiably blinded with rage.

We accused Tinubu of being involved in the drug business simply because we were not fully aware of all the facts of the case and neither did we care to dig deep and find out.

Thankfully we have now done that, we know better and we collectivity owe him an apology for assuming the worst and believing the lie.

Though unjustifiable and indefensible, it is nevertheless forgivable to erroneously accuse an innocent man of crimes he never committed due to a lack of real and proper understanding of the facts and issues in the matter under consideration.

What cannot be forgiven and is totally unacceptable is to continue to peddle the grievous lie and injurious falsehood purposely and with malicious intent once the truth has been established and unearthed and once the facts prove beyond reasonable doubt that the individual that was falsely accused is actually innocent.

This is a lesson that young David and those that share his perfidious and warped worldview have yet to learn.

He calls himself an investigative journalist yet he forgets the first law of journalism: that facts are sacred and opinion is cheap!

May God deliver him.

Many countries in Africa have started to do that by voting unpopular candidates from new parties, but most of guys in Nigeria are hellbent on sticking to the same old way

When Peter Obi says he will no longer attend any debate that Waziri Atiku and Tinubu do not attend, he is inevitably saying that he is in this race only because he wants to rub shoulders with Atiku and Tinubu, not because of Nigerians. That is very reactionary!

*Just coming back from Suleja Senior Magistrate Court an idiot has just been sentence to 37 months in prison, the law has done the needful, this should sound as warning to those issuing threat base on my right to support whoever pleases me politically, I will continue to go through the proper channel, I will never take laws into my hands*.

_Whoever that don't want to witness the coming election in jail should stay clear, I have learnt that the court is the best place to tender any form of intimidations nor threat to life, I also witnessed so many cases in court today and many went for it they will be serving their jail term or pay the bailing fee and to those who have in the past sent a voice note or written note of threat to my private wall be ready as I will be suing you for that soonest, So help me God_

Bad decision if you ask me
They're running away from being emberassednby Obis popularity and Obi is going to join them too?

Let them do what they like and you too should do the needful. Obi should attend debates. His not a masquerade like the Agbadorian carcass

Why should Tinubu dignify these uncouth & unruly people with his presence? He will not be dragged to that low level. His debate will not make you vote for him cos of your prejudice so ress with your mischief �
