Chief, we all agree there's need for coalition however the coalition leadership must also be honest and transparent. They must understand that it's a coalition of different groups of people and individuals and therefore they must ensure inclusiveness. There must be clear agreements to ensure that every interest is represented.
So if the coalition leadership fails to make me welcomed in the coalition you can't use guilt of so called working for APC to keep in an organisation that doesn't recognise my interest.
So please let the coalition leadership be transparent, inclusive and fair, otherwise they may end up being the ones working for Tinubu.

Power isn't serve like party jollof. The earlier Peter Obi acknowledge this, the better for managing his ambition in a realistic way.
Bro stop that please. What happened to the coalition 2023. If Atuki contests this southern turn then he's working for Tinubu. Atuki might have bought delegates but you see in the general election he cannot buy the electorates. Peter obi the sane youths want.
Any opposition party that fails to zone its presidential ticket to the south is working for Bola Tinubu and APC. Probably, It’s the same set of selfish politicians that brought same APC, Buhari and Bola Tinubu upon the Nigerian masses.
But Mr Henry you know you yourself will not vote Peter in the primary same with David Mark all the Atiku PDP bloc and few former APC bloc because Peter will not waste money to buy delegates and una no go see Money. Only Peter will get massive votes and all of you know.
If you want to engage sensibly, by all means do so and I’ll respond, but talking like a fo ol who believes everyone else is out for money will get you silence, or a block. Deal?
At 100, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai remains a towering pillar of courage, conviction, and unwavering commitment to a united, just and democratic Nigeria.
His life’s journey mirrors a century of our nation’s political evolution marked by resilience, principle, and an unshakable belief in dialogue and nation-building.
I celebrate this iconic statesman whose voice has never wavered in patriotism and advocacy for good governance.
May the Almighty continue to grant him good health, strength, and the grace to witness the Nigeria he tirelessly advocates for. -AA
PRESIDENT TINUBU'S TRIBUTE TO CENTENARIAN ALHAJI TANKO YAKASAI
Of the noble men and women who stood firm for our liberty and freedom from repressive colonial subjugation, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai is the last man standing. Born a hundred years ago in Kano City, Alhaji Yakasai exemplifies a purposeful life, carving out a meaningful legacy despite humble beginnings.
Disturbed by the injustice and maltreatment he witnessed under colonial rule, he chose to join the fight for Nigeria’s liberation. As a young man, Baba Yakasai channelled his energy into the struggle for the emancipation of his people and the rest of the country as a freedom fighter, journalist, and frontline political activist.
His activism led him to join hands with comrades in the Northern Elements Progressive Union (NEPU), led by the visionary radical Mallam Aminu Kano. Through NEPU, Yakasai and his co-travellers launched a massive awakening campaign in Northern Nigeria, igniting the fire for the Independence struggle.
In the aftermath of Nigeria's Independence in 1960, Yakasai maintained an abiding faith in the country and its development. He played several significant roles, including serving as State Commissioner in Kano under Military Governor Audu Bako and as Special Assistant on National Assembly Liaison to President Shehu Shagari during the Second Republic.
In both youth and old age, Yakasai remains a shining example of commitment to Nigeria. He is a consensus builder who consistently weighs in on the side of national cohesion, peaceful coexistence, and democratic consolidation.
In celebrating Baba Yakasai today, I am not only celebrating the man and his personal achievements, but also a century of dedicated service to freedom and democracy and many years of supporting me and the progressive cause.
I am pleased to join family, friends and associates to celebrate the life and commitment of Alhaji Tanko Yakasai as he turns 100 on December 5.

LAST MAN STANDING!
What an extraordinary life. Today, my father, Alhaji Tanko Yakasai, marks 100 years on earth. A full century. He has witnessed colonial rule, the struggles that shaped Nigeria’s independence, and the many victories and trials that followed. In many of these defining moments, he wasn’t just a witness, he was a key player!
Living to 100 is remarkable, but reaching this milestone with a clear mind, strong spirit, and good health is a blessing only a few ever experience.
He is a husband to four wives and a father to 23 children (19 alive and 4 deceased), and a guiding presence to nearly a hundred grandchildren and great-grandchildren. His life is a tapestry of resilience, service, and wisdom, and we continue to draw strength from his example.
May Allah preserve his life, grant him continued good health, and keep his mind sharp so we can continue learning from him, amin.
Knowing nothing and thinking that you know everything
1) It was the police that made that statement but that guy said that the statement was made by bloggers. #Knownothing
2) Policemen, including several inspectors general of police, commissioners of police, etc have stated that they embark on show of force patrols, but a strange person says that they do not. #Knownothing
3) This is not unique to Nigeria, it happens all over the world. #Know nothing
4) He says that police cannot have show of force because innocent citizens will bear the brunt. Police have been staging show of force patrols for generations and it is aimed at letting criminals know that the police is equipped to deal with them and letting the public know that the police is equipped to protect them. #Knownothing.
Lezzlie: we're looking at the Nigerian context. When Nigeria police embark on a show of force, it's innocent citizens who get arrested while armed robbery takes place few poles from police checkpoints.
Show of force on who? Rioters or violent protesters?
Ignoramus
No one cares about Joe Slow on the internet and the only thing worse than ignorance is arrogant ignorance.
Are innocent people the only people in the world? Why must the show of force be directed at innocent people? Isn't meant to show criminals that the police has the force to deal with them??
But of course you'd need to have common sense to reason through such simple things.
