Aha! I see. Your issue is politics. You don't like the people involved so nothing they do can be good to you.

Lots of roads in Lagos have been and are concessioned. What do you think the Coastal Road is about?

Gbogboski:
The roads in the SE and SS are concessioned to non existent companies but the ones in Lagos are awarded to HITECH even when it was not appropriated in the budget,funds were made available , even borrowed funds.

Dave Umahi warned us they'll unleash 4000 data boys on Nigerians to whitewash the administration.

Today is a day for all sorts of weird posts.

Let's tske this guu for example.

WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH APC??

WAS I THE CAMERAMAN THAT HE WAS ACCUSING ME OF SHOOTING THE VIDEO IN THIS OR THAT WAY?

HAS HE EVEN READ THE THREAD AND DOES HE EVEN KNOW WHAT THE THREAD IS ABOUT??

This is an example of the saying "Common sense is not common".

saintneo:
A simple question you could not provide an answer. Tuee APC. Agbero mentality.

A good driver will not drive very close to the bus if there was enough clearance on the other side, unless there was no space on the driver's side as well. This goes to show that the demarcation was ill concieved.. This bridge is a narrow bridge, putting a demarcation was just a wrong decoration.

Kobojunkieee:
. Mental health issues do not come from the content of a book, but from the traumatic experiences the mind has been subjected to either consciously or unconsciously. 😒😒

Can you please point to anywhere that I said that mental health issues come from the content of a book??

What has happened to Nairaland? Why has it become so difficult for Nairalanders to understand simple statements??

Daddy B @DaddyB_2023

Kwankwaso's statement confirms what we all suspected. This is a man who has never attacked Tinubu or APC with the same energy he uses to attack Atiku and ADC.

📍Bola Tinubu destroyed the economy but Kwankwaso is silent.
📍Fuel is N1,500(affecting Kano people as well) but Kwankwaso is silent.
📍Naira is N1,600 but Kwankwaso is silent.
📍Insecurity everywhere but Kwankwaso is silent.

But if Atiku sneezes; Kwankwaso will write a 500-words discrediting essay.

Who is really working for APC then if not Mr Red cap commander ?

Nobody in ADC is begging you to withdraw. Atiku doesn't need Kano votes alone to become President, but you need Atiku's national votes to even remain relevant. And there is nothing you can do to stop Atiku Abubakar from winning Kano state in the 2027 presidential election as the Kano people see clearly that only Atiku Abubakar has their interest at heart and they already know that you are one of Tinubu contractors to divide the opposition votes.

You say ADC offers no better alternative than APC. Yet you cannot even offer a better alternative than your Kano red cap. Atiku built businesses, employed thousands, served as VP. What is your national legacy outside Kwankwasiyya in one state?

Stop using Atiku's name to chase clout. Face Tinubu if you have the balls. If you cannot face Tinubu, stop disturbing those who can.

2027 is Atiku vs Tinubu and NDC is not in the conversation aside for content creators.

Obi-Kwankwaso Ticket Will Not Withdraw for Atiku — Kwankwaso

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic
Congress (NDC), has firmly rejected claims that the party’s Obi-Kwankwaso (OK) ticket will withdraw from the 2027 presidential race in favour of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

In a strongly worded statement, Kwankwaso expressed deep concern over the conduct of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council. He accused it of launching unnecessary attacks on him, the NDC’s presidential candidate Peter Obi, and the party itself.

He said the ADC campaign team was creating mischief by suggesting that the OK ticket was working for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) or that it might step down at the last minute for the ADC candidate. Kwankwaso described such claims as unfounded and unhelpful.

“Let me state clearly and unequivocally: we will not withdraw our candidature for the ADC or any other party,” he declared. “We remain confident in our capacity, competence, and readiness to lead Nigeria.”

Kwankwaso added that the OK ticket is neither working for nor acting on behalf of the APC or any of its candidates, and that there is no possibility or reason for them to withdraw in favour of the ADC or anyone else. He urged the ADC campaign to focus instead on responding to serious allegations levelled against their own candidate by Vice President Kashim Shettima.

Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso @kwankwasoRM

I have noted with deep concern the conduct of the ADC campaign team. The attacks directed at me, our presidential candidate His Excellency Peter Obi, and our party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), are unnecessary and unhelpful.

Rather than focusing on presenting the competence, credibility, and capacity of their own candidate as we have consistently done by placing our credentials and record of achievements before Nigerians, the ADC Presidential Campaign Council appears intent on creating mischief against our party and ticket. This includes attempts to portray us as working for the ruling party or to suggest that we may withdraw from the race in favour of the ADC candidate at the last minute.

The ADC-PCC would be better served directing its energy toward rebutting the serious allegations levelled against their candidate by the Vice President, His Excellency Kashim Shettima, instead of targeting me and His Excellency Peter Obi.

We are aware that the ADC-PCC may try to mislead our supporters on the eve of the election by claiming that we intend to withdraw in their favour. Let me state clearly and unequivocally: we will not withdraw our candidature for the ADC or any other party. We remain confident in our capacity, competence, and readiness to lead Nigeria.

The OK ticket is neither working for nor acting on behalf of the APC or any of its candidates. We see no possibility or reason to withdraw from the presidential race in favour of the ADC candidate or any other. These claims are unfounded and should be treated as such.

The APC-led government has failed Nigerians. The ADC offers no better alternative. We believe the OK ticket presents a credible and viable option, backed by proven capacity, a strong track record, credibility, and broad support across both Northern and Southern Nigeria. It is a healing ticket committed to uniting our country and tackling critical challenges in security, education, agriculture, infrastructure, healthcare, the economy, and other key sectors.

We believe the NDC remains the most formidable and viable opposition party in the country. I therefore urge all our supporters and well-meaning Nigerians to continue working toward the victory of our great party.

Nigeria will be OK. - RMK

The vice presidential candidate of the NDC, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso asked the presidential candidate of the ADC, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to step down for Mr Peter Obi.

The ADC Presidential Campaign Council accused Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of working for the APC and trying to reduce Atiku's votes, while Kwankwaso accused the ADC of trying to undermine the NDC by spreading rumours that Peter Obi and Kwankwaso will step down for Atiku.

Kola Ologbondiyan is the spokesman of the ADC Presidential Campaign Council.

PRESS STATEMENT

KWANKWASO IS DOING TINUBU’S BIDDING, HIS CALL FOR ATIKU TO STEP DOWN RECKLESS, UNCOUTH — ADC-PCC

Campaign Council accuses him of plotting to divide opposition, insists Atiku will win Kano with or without his support .

The African Democratic Congress Presidential Campaign Council (ADC-PCC) has berated Senator @KwankwasoRM over his call for former Vice President @atiku Abubakar to step down for Mr @PeterObi , describing the statement as reckless, self-serving and a desperate attempt to advance President @officialABAT political interests ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

The Director of Media and Publicity of the ADC-PCC, @officialKolaO , stated this while reacting to Kwankwaso’s interview on Channels Television, accusing the former Kano State governor of focusing on opposition leaders rather than confronting the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration that Nigerians are desperate to vote out.

Ologbondiyan declared that Atiku Abubakar would win Kano State (Kwankwaso's home state) in the 2027 presidential election with or without Kwankwaso’s support, stressing that the hardship, hunger, poverty and insecurity confronting Nigerians would ultimately determine their choices at the polls.

He noted that Kwankwaso’s position was particularly curious given his own political alignment with Peter Obi and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), arguing that, as a member of the opposition seeking to unseat the incumbent government, his priority should be building a stronger opposition rather than attempting to undermine another opposition leader.

“Rather than campaigning against President Tinubu, whose administration Nigerians are eagerly working to vote out, Kwankwaso is fixated on Atiku Abubakar, the ADC candidate, whom millions of Nigerians believe can restore economic stability and make life affordable again.

“Why is Kwankwaso so obsessed with Atiku? The answer may lie in his own political calculations.

Having reportedly described the office of the Vice President as a ‘spare tyre’, he appears more concerned about positioning himself for the 2031 presidential election rather than addressing the urgent challenges confronting Nigerians today,” Ologbondiyan said.

The ADC-PCC spokesman argued that Kwankwaso’s conduct raised questions about his actual political preferences for 2027, suggesting that his actions appeared more beneficial to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) than supporting any of the opposition candidates.

Ologbondiyan, however, maintained that history did not support the assumption that Kwankwaso’s political influence was indispensable to any presidential candidate seeking victory in Kano.

Citing the 2003 and 2007 presidential elections, Ologbondiyan recalled that former President Muhammadu Buhari secured victories in Kano despite not enjoying Kwankwaso’s support, arguing that Atiku could equally win the state in 2027.

“What Kwankwaso is doing amounts to advancing President Tinubu’s interests. It is a familiar APC strategy to use willing collaborators within the opposition to create confusion, sow division and weaken the collective efforts to bring about political change.

“Nigerians are wiser than that and will not allow themselves to be distracted by political manoeuvres designed to rescue an unpopular administration,” he said.

Ologbondiyan further accused Kwankwaso of having a history of political manoeuvring that, in his view, placed personal ambition above the collective interests of opposition parties.

He alleged that Kwankwaso’s latest intervention was less about strengthening Peter Obi’s presidential prospects than positioning himself for future political negotiations ahead of 2031.

“Nigerians are not fooled. There is a growing perception that Kwankwaso’s support for Peter Obi is driven more by his personal ambition than by a genuine commitment to the opposition’s collective objective of defeating the APC.

“He appears to believe that by pushing the South-east narrative, he can position himself for a future bargain with the ruling party. It is an old-style political calculation that Nigerians are increasingly unwilling to accept,” Ologbondiyan stated.

The ADC-PCC spokesman also questioned Kwankwaso’s political trajectory, citing his movement across different political platforms as evidence, in his assessment, of persistent political repositioning.

“From the PDP to the APC, back to the PDP, then to the NNPP, the ADC, and now the NDC, Kwankwaso’s political journey calls for serious reflection. His latest interventions appear to be taking him back into the political shadows of the APC,” he said.

Contrasting the political profiles of Atiku and Kwankwaso, Ologbondiyan described the former Vice President as a nationally established politician with extensive political networks across Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones.

He argued that Atiku’s longstanding political relationships across regional, ethnic and religious divides placed him in a stronger position to build a winning national coalition in 2027.

“Atiku Abubakar is a cosmopolitan, detribalised and nationally recognised political figure who has built relationships across the North, South, East and West over more than three decades.

“Kwankwaso, on the other hand, has concentrated much of his political strength within Kano State. His ability to translate that regional influence into broad national electoral success remains a major question,” Ologbondiyan said.

He further argued that Kwankwaso had overstated his political relevance, pointing to his fourth-place finish in the 2023 presidential election as evidence that his influence had not translated into the level of national support required to win the presidency.

“Kwankwaso must come to terms with the realities of the national political landscape. His influence should not be confused with the capacity to win a presidential election.
“If his political relevance were as extensive as he suggests, why did he finish fourth in the last presidential election?” he queried.

Ologbondiyan added that the ADC-PCC was concerned about the implications of Kwankwaso’s approach for Peter Obi and the leadership of the NDC, stressing that Atiku’s national pathways would lead him to eventual victory.

The council therefore urged Nigerians and the media to disregard what it described as Kwankwaso’s attention-seeking intervention and remain focused on the broader objective of rallying behind Atiku Abubakar and the ADC to rescue, recover and rebuild the country.

“Our campaign however invites Kwankwaso and his allies to reconsider their position and support the formidable candidacy of Atiku Abubakar.

“Atiku remains our preferred pathway to defeating President Tinubu and ending the hunger, poverty and insecurity that the APC administration has foisted on our nation.

“The task before opposition leaders is not to undermine one another for personal political advantage but to unite around the urgent national mission of rescuing Nigeria,” Ologbondiyan concluded.

which repairs ? Make I no talk abeg

You forgot that all your accounts are similar and that I know you?

It seems 175 is still crying and trying to get my attention. It's too late.

You see, as I said at the beginning, the goal is to derail this thread. That's why they've been posting attacks on me instead of addressing the topic of the thread.

175, mindlog and co have not addressed the topic of this thread even once.

Remember what I told you last year that I will do to anybody that comes to my threads, ignores the topic and attacks me? I have already blocked Mindlog and it's time for 175 to follow suite.

All this nonsense that 175 is posting is simply because he likes Obi and hates Tinubu, so he wants to force me to only post good things about Obi and bad things about Tinubu. It's a waste of time and will never work.

I will post whatever I want, whether it's good or bad about Obi and whether it is good or bad about Tinubu and there's nothing he can do about it.

You don't have the capacity to know what is intelligent and what is not. I post whatever I want, as I have always done.

The problem for you is simply that you want to control what I post. It will never work.

I guess these are Umahi, Wike and whatever nonsense you are yapping about.

The entire stretch of road from Benin to Asaba, from Benin to Warri, from Benin to Lokoja have collapsed. Tinubu have spent almost four years in office and nothing has been done about it.

How long does it take to reconstruct a hundred kilometers stretch of road?

Elections is on the horizon and all of a sudden he's issuing orders for road reconstruction.

Last year the government ordered that the road should be rebuilt. There's a video of Umahi's confrontation with officials of the construction company. The road was concessioned to a private company by the previous government.

The company damaged the road instead of maintaining it. Government wanted to void the contract, but the company would have sued the government, so they couldn't do anything.

The contracr has now expired, so government can take over the road.

No you won't, because I'm going to block this account too.

Seems like you missed the point. Those barriers are extremely heavy ... their total weight significant. The bridge was not designed with that weight in it's calculations. If you build a three storey house ... it was designed to bear a certain amount of weight by the occupants on each floor ... even if they have parties ... there's a certain amount of tolerance. If the occupants decide to use the residential units as commercial units .. using for storage instead .. storing paint.. cement .. cement blocks ... do you think it will have no effect on the structure? ... on structural integrity?

@ topic.... Aseems to me the guy stopped to tighten the door strap. So much is wrong here.... showing how soon many if us are only about self .. no consideration for others. No attempt to pull the bus in the corner ... if the truck had hit the bus hard... he would've been pinned between the bus and bridge ... Another even aware of the danger. If he were driving a bit wider vehicle... everyone had to wait until he was done... A traffic jam because of him. With the present situation ... Athere should be no stopping allowed on the bridge.... Athere should be strict enforcement .. and a whooping fine imposed on violators.

Ladies and gentlemen just watch this.

Can you tell us the weight of the barriers and the load bearing capscity of the bridge? Give us the exact weight and the exact weight bearing capacity.

You've used several accounts to try to ask me the same question and I have blocked all of them. Shouldn't you have gotten the hint by now?

This issue has given me maximum entertainment.

⚫️ It started with me explaining the purpose of the barriers.

⚫️ Then some people came to Nairaland to lie that the barriers had been removed. Those liars were tagging me and wasting their energy by trying to insult me.

⚫️ Then I created a thread to show that the barriers were still there and that 3 junctions had been created.

And now this.

I have enjoyed it so much that I already have more threads that I will create about this issue.

What happened to the order he gave on the reconstruction of same Asaba Benin express way last year? Or have we forgotten that Tinubu gave order for the reconstruction of same road last year?

3 posts on the first page.

The first post said that the government wanted to reconstruct the road, but was prevented from doing so by the contract with Hartland. It said that Hartland did a very bad job and government wanted to take over the job from them.

The first and second posts say that Hartland's contract has now expired and so government can take over the road and they have now awarded it to HiTech.

The third post said that government did emergency work on the road a few weeks ago and that Hartland was supposed to do the emergency work but they couldn't.
