PRESIDENTIAL aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Bola Tinubu, Sunday, vowed that no amount of intimidation could halt his presidential ambition in 2023.

He said this during his consultation with the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Adeyemi and the Olubadan-designate, Oba Lekan Balogun.

Tinubu had in January visited President Muhammadu Buhari to register his readiness to contest in the 2023 elections.

Speaking at the Olubadan-designate’s palace in Ibadan, the National Leader of the APC insisted that no amount of intimidation could stop him from fulfilling his ambition.
He said his visit to Oyo and Ibadan was borne out of his respect for the royal stool, and to seek their blessings, cooperation and prayers to lead the country come 2023.

I am ready to get dirty–Tinubu
He said: “No amount of intimidation can stop me. I am ready to get dirty. I am out to become President of Nigeria. We are at a crossroad.”
Speaking earlier at the Alaafin’s palace, he said: “I cannot embark on a project of such magnitude without seeking for prayers and cooperation of the traditional rulers.

“I am here to inform our fathers of my decision to run for the position of the President of this country in 2023. What I need from our highly referred traditional rulers are their prayers and cooperation.

“Today, by the special grace of God in Yorubaland unlike before we have the Vice-President, the Minister of Works, Interior and Sports but we still need more.”

Responding, Oba Adeyemi, who invoked the spirits of his fore-bearers, said his request has been granted.
He said all the ancestors of Yorubaland would work in his favour and answer his prayers.

He, therefore, asked the 10 Oke-Ogun traditional rulers in attendance at the meeting whether they were in support of his decision, and their response was: “We are fully in support.”

You’re the leading light of Nigeria– Olubadan-designate

At the Olubadan-designate’s residence, the monarch said: “We have known you and we know your antecedent. We know your antecedent as a progressive. You laid the foundation of today’s Lagos. You are the leading light of Nigeria. You contributed to making Nigeria what it is today.
“Without Yoruba, Nigeria will not be what it is today. Nigeria is badly divided. We are looking forward to a Yoruba president who will unite this country. We need a leader that will have a national focus and national acceptability. The road may be rough but by His grace, you will triumph.”

Recent media statement of Alhaji Kunle Poly on the current crisis in Lagos Island vis-à-vis: idumota, eyin eyo, agarawu etc to mention few and attributing it to the state chairman of NATIONAL UNION OF ROAD TRANSPORT WORKERS (NURTW) Lagos chapter Alhaji Akinsanya Musiliu (M.C OLUOMO) isn’t only petty, childish, oppressive but also derogatory and above all a character assassination on the part of the state chairman. The character of Kunle Poly in the past and present is synonymous to evil for those who have had encounters with the dare-devil and It is not new or strange to read such ridiculous and irrational statement from Kunle poly as this has long be expected not only from him but also other anti-progressive and bad eggs within the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) who are on the verge of causing chaos in the union.

Setting the record straight, and history must not be swept underground. The issue of 19 units and 7 units as mentioned by Kunle Poly is arithmetical and, ‘WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS ALSO GOOD FOR THE GANDER’ and what he realizes every day in the units he mentioned in his press should be revealed by him to the world, the illegal tax and tokens he collect from the masses in lagos island which resulted into the crisis should also be made known to the world. The other units were shared among other rivalry groups so as to minimize the crisis in lagos island. Kunle poly didn’t tell Nigerians his role of fueling the Lagos island crisis before jetting out of Lagos so as not to be seen as an actor in the game.

ARTICLE 42 SECTION 4 SUBSECTION VIII openly nullified Kunle poly from being a branch chairman because he had served more than two terms in the office which is totally an aberration to the sacrosanct constitution of NATIONAL UNION OF ROAD TRANSPORT WORKERS but pleadings against witch hunting and calls for reconciliation from various quarters was a factor in re-electing Kunle poly into one of the branches mentioned in his press and also to accommodate some of the warring factions into other branches so as to give space for peace and harmony in Lagos island.

Nigerians shouldn’t be bamboozled by Kunle poly’s sentiments of buying peoples sympathy, where there is none as this is more of political gimmicks to tarnish the image and personality of Alhaji Akinsanya Musiliu (M.C Oluomo). So many assassination attempts and attacks were launched in 2019 which nearly cost the life of M.C Oluomo by Kunle Poly and his gangs of thugs but after the emergence of MC OLUOMO, there was never in any way a reprisal attack whatsoever but instead they were all incorporated in the affairs and administration of NURTW lagos chapter which a man of conscience and dignity would have done.

there were series of attacks on the state chairman (MC OLUOMO) by Kunle Poly during Agbede led administration which nearly cost the life of M.C Oluomo but that was set aside during the inauguration of new executives in which Kunle poly was returned as a branch chairman in Lagos Island despite having completed 3 terms as a branch chairman which is even a violation to the convention and constitution of the national union as you are only entitled to hold chairmanship post for two terms.

The progress of the national union is the utmost priority of Alhaji Musiliu Akinsanya and unnecessary digression from this will be seen as petty as said earlier. The unity remains certain and the bad eggs won’t be allowed to cause disunity irrespective of there status in the union.

The Fraudulent Abuja Rice Pyramids

Fellow Nigerians, when we had the Kano groundnut pyramids in the 60s it was not for show-off like what the genocidal criminal Tyrant Buhari is doing today in Abuja. Those Kano groundnut pyramids were stacked for railway terminals, destined for export through seaports.

This Abuja rice pyramids of the monumental fraudster #Buhari aren't meant for export nor milling, they are just for show-off to massage the ego of this bloodthirsty Tyrant.

And did you know the most annoying thing in this fraudulent Abuja rice pyramids? Most Nigerians presently can not afford a 50kg bag of rice � as the price has more than tripled. When Buhari came to power in May, 2015, 50kg bag of rice was N7,500, the same bag is more than N30,000 today.

Inference:

Why are we discussing rice pyramids when a bag of rice is over 30k in the market today?

Only the gullible idiots will not see the deception being played on the intelligence of the populace by the Genocidal Buhari regime. Showcasing a rice while in reality the overwhelming majority of Nigerians can not even afford it?

#NB: Do not be surprised if the inside of the Abuja rice pyramids are wooden frame for elevation.
