Obiedun:
E pain am. I don touch his personal lord and savior. Hahahahaha?

I laid out the facts, which is why you couldn’t dispute them.

Obiedun:
The one that the slowpoke and effeminate cannot stop when he was the governor of Anambra state.

Tinubu is actually the slowpoke and delusional one here.

He moves from Kaduna to Akwa Ibom, blaming the opposition for everything. He even claims to have tamed the Atlantic Ocean.

But as President, has he been able to tame the epileptic or practically non-existent power supply? Has he tamed insecurity, hunger, worsening inflation, and rising poverty?

Maybe before claiming to have tamed the Atlantic, he should try taming the problems his calamitous policies mascurading as economic reforms have inflicted on Nigerians

Parachoko:
The voters turn out in rivers won't even be up to 1 million

Atiku wont have up to 25% in Rivers

Good. You already know they’re lying to Tinubu and desperately massaging his already dilapidated image.

Tinubu is a so-called first-class accountant who somehow never learned the first rule of accounting: accountability.

A crook accountant, indeed.

MR PRESIDENT, OBI IS COMING TO STOP THE EROSION OF NIGERIA’S COMMONWEALTH — NDC

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has taken careful note of President Bola Tinubu’s swipe at Mr. Peter Obi over the erosion menace in Anambra State. But we want to remind the President that the mission of the Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Mr. Peter Obi and his running mate Engr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso is much bigger: to stop the rapid erosion of Nigeria’s commonwealth.

Obi-Kwankwaso mission is to address the growing contradiction between the gains expected from fuel subsidy removal, Mr. President’s seemingly one week, new loan and the persistent underfunding of national budgets.

Nigerians deserve to know what has happened to the promised fiscal benefits of subsidy removal, particularly against the backdrop of the administration’s frequent borrowing, increased revenue generation, poor debt-service-revenue-ratio and inadequate funding of critical public services like health and education.

Obi/Kwankwaso will not allow Nigeria to continue borrowing at an alarming rate, without corresponding benefits, while citizens endure worsening poverty, unemployment, insecurity and declining purchasing power.

Let’s look at the financial records of the two former governors - Mr. Obi left the equivalent of $500 million in investment as well as local and foreign currency, including $156 million in dollar-denominated bonds when he left office in 2014 in Anambra State. In contrast, available Debt Management Office figures put Lagos State’s external debt at approximately $190.43 million at the end of 2007, when Mr. Tinubu handed over to his successor.

Apart from that, Mr. Tinubu aided the erosion of Lagos public finance by signing into law the pension law, granting former governors and deputies, including himself life time pensions, equivalent to 100% of the basic salary of the incumbent governor, houses in Lagos and Abuja, multiple vehicles, furniture allowance, utility allowance, entertainment allow, free medical care, house maintenance allowance, domestic staff provision, and other ridiculous benefits. The package was so outrageous that a successive governor was compelled to slightly review the law. In contrast, Mr. Obi never set up pension for governors in Anambra State

The Obi/Kwankwaso ticket offers Nigeria the golden opportunity to make fundamental departure from President Tinubu’s borrowing-dependent and erosion of public funds model of governance towards Obi/Kwankwaso prudent management of public resources, accountability, productive investment and measurable improvements in citizens’ welfare.

The debt-dependent economic model without accountability contributed to the decline and weakening of powerful empires and nations throughout history. From the Ottoman Empire and 19th-century Egypt to modern-day countries such as Argentina and Zambia, history offers repeated warnings about the dangers of excessive borrowing, unsustainable debt and poor fiscal management. If not stopped, Nigeria is in serious trouble.

And of course Peter Obi bravely tackled gully erosion in Anambra State. Obi helped attract and launch the World Bank Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) to the state. He mandated new state roads to include proper drainage connected to safe discharge points and executed local flood controls, such as concrete drains in Adazi Nnukwu, Amawbia, Umuoji, etc. He regularly lobbied the federal government for ecological intervention funds with accountability.

The bottom line is that Obi-Kwankwaso mission is about stopping fiscal recklessness and the erosion/decimation of Nigeria’s commonwealth, while providing economic opportunities for Nigerians today and for future generations.

It took Tinubu, a so called first class accountant, almost three years to tell Nigerians how much has been saved from subsidy removal.

Tinubu cannot account for the money he has stolen.

It’s just like asking Tinubu to account for the money he has stolen from the Lagos Treasury for over two decades and counting. He won’t be able to do so. He has stolen so much.

Lagosians already know that he stole. That’s why they always call him Ole! Ole! whenever he moves past their streets.

If they knew how much he has stolen, they would stone him to death.

President Bola Tinubu acknowledged that his economic reforms caused hardship for Nigerians, saying he shares their pain despite being comfortable himself.
Tinubu said the reforms were necessary to prevent bankruptcy, claiming 27 of Nigeria’s 36 governors could not meet salary obligations when he took office.
Speaking at an APC rally in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, on Friday, Tinubu urged residents to support his re-election bid on January 16, 2027.

President Bola Tinubu has acknowledged that his administration’s economic reforms have created difficulties for Nigerians, and he understands the pressure households have faced, despite being a comfortable man who has not known the pain of the market.

Naija News reports that Tinubu spoke on Friday at an All Progressives Congress (APC) rally in Uyo, Akwa Ibom, where he asked residents to support his re-election bid in the January 16, 2027, presidential election.


Tinubu said he does not know the pain of the market because of his comfortable background but shared in the pain and difficulty of Nigerians.


He said, “It is difficult. It was hard. It was hard for me too. I could say, well, by history, I am a comfortable man. I don’t know the pain of the market, but I share your pain. I share the difficulty.”

The president also stated that the reforms were necessary to prevent the country from sliding into bankruptcy, despite the hardship they had caused Nigerians.


According to Tinubu, the naira could have lost virtually all its value if his administration had not taken difficult decisions.

He stated, “When I took over, 27 governors out of 36 in this country were unable to pay salary obligations, not to talk of pension and gratuity.

“Today, I stand before you, able to say we are out of the dark tunnel. I can beat my chest to say we are out of the greatest despair, the dark journey of uncertainty, and the calamitous possibility of bankruptcy.


“If we didn’t take a decision the day I took over, we would use wheelbarrows to move our naira because it would have become valueless. Nothing.

“We are talking of 1,300 now to a dollar because it still has pocketable value. If we had left it, it would have been a wheelbarrow when you go to the market to buy tomatoes. That is the truth.”

President Tinubu urged voters to support his second-term ambition, describing the 2027 election as consequential for the country’s future

https://www./2026/11/07/im-a-comfortable-man-i-dont-know-pain-of-the-market-tinubu/?utm_source=operamini&utm_medium=feednews&utm_campaign=operamini_feednews

I can hear the fear and apprehension screaming through that statement.

He knows that if Tinubu and the APC lose, the outrageous 2.1 trillion naira a year pipeline security contracts he receives from them will seize and he may finally be forced to account for the ones already received.

So when he says, “If Tinubu and the APC don’t win, we are all in trouble,” he meant 2.1 trillion naira will automatically stop

yarimo:
Hahaha just only 200 people in the whole of Adamawa state Endorsed obi and binani 2027 will surely be OBI worst political outing in history 🤣

In 2023, you claimed it was just social media noise and would obviously die down. Yet Peter Obi went on to secure over 6 million votes.

Now, with Kwankwaso and his Kwakwasiya movement, the political force in Kano and the North-West, you’re suddenly predicting that it will be his worst political outing.

I can feel the anguish, the sifia nightmares, and the excruciating pain from here.

They didn’t endorse your beloved calamitous Renewed Hopelessness, and that rejection seems to have hit you harder than reality itself.

Take it easy. Political heartbreak can be brutal, especially when the “social media noise” you dismissed refuses to die down.

Tinubu was obviously out of his depth when he made that unfounded claim that Peter Obi couldn’t control erosion, while boasting that he had “tamed the Atlantic Ocean.”

When you have nothing meaningful to campaign on, I suppose exaggerated claims become the campaign strategy.

Even "The Nation", his own newspaper, contradict him.

Tinubu doesn't know whether he made such a promise

We are already 10 years backwards under Tinubu. Voting him out is the only sure way to stop Nigeria from going another 15 or 20 years backwards.

Fulani Ardos and Fulbe groups from all 21 LGAs back Peter Obi and Binani for 2027, while Binani promises ranches and a farmer herder peace body.

Adamawa Fulbe Leaders Unite Behind Obi and Binani, Say They Want Peace, Fairness and Jobs

Fulani Ardos and leaders of Fulbe groups from all 21 local government areas of Adamawa State have thrown their support behind Mr Peter Obi for president and Senator Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed, popularly called Binani, for governor.


The leaders said their decision was unanimous. They made it at a stakeholders meeting in Yola on [DATE] ahead of the 2027 general elections.

They say they want leaders who are fair, competent and committed to unity. In their view, Obi and Binani fit that description.

A Big Gathering in Yola
According to the organisers, more than 200 people came to the meeting. Among them were Ardos, district heads, women leaders and youth representatives of Fulbe associations.


They gathered to talk about the political future of the Fulani community in Adamawa and across Nigeria.

Speaking for the group, Sa’adu Mohammed said the decision did not come from one room or one day. He said leaders held wide consultations in all 21 local government areas before reaching it.


He added that the community agreed to stand behind candidates with a proven record of competence, fairness and commitment to unity.

Why They Picked Obi

Mohammed described Mr Obi as a detribalised Nigerian. He said Obi has what it takes to fix the economy, make the country safer and give every ethnic group a sense of belonging.


Mr Obi is now the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, known as the NDC. The party ratified him on 29 May 2026, with former Kano governor Rabiu Kwankwaso as his running mate.

Why They Picked Binani

Turning to the governorship race, Mohammed called Binani a mother and a bridge builder. He said she understands the problems facing Adamawa, especially in education, healthcare and the welfare of herders.


Binani is the NDC governorship candidate in the state. She is a former senator for Adamawa Central. She was the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in 2023, when she faced Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri.

She later left the APC and then the African Democratic Congress. According to Channels Television, she formally joined the NDC in Abuja on 1 May 2026 and received her membership card from party leaders.

The Women Speak Up
The women’s representative, Maryam Ahmed, spoke about the pain that many Fulani families have gone through.

She said Fulani women have suffered most from insecurity, displacement and the loss of their means of living. She said she believes Obi and Binani will deal with the farmer herder crisis through talks, ranching and modern livestock development, and not through force.

Her words reflect what many families in rural Adamawa live with every year. When cattle are lost or farms are destroyed, women and children often feel it first.

A Call to the Youths
The youth leader of the group, Usman Ardo, urged every Fulani son and daughter in Adamawa to get their families and communities ready to vote in large numbers for Obi and Binani.

He stressed that the endorsement was not for selfish gain. He said it was for the progress of the state and the nation.

Binani Promises Ranches
Binani responded at the meeting with a list of promises. She said that if she wins the election, her government will build modern ranches in all three senatorial districts of Adamawa.

She described ranching as a lasting answer to the clashes between farmers and herders. These clashes, she said, have killed people and destroyed farms and livelihoods.

Her plan also includes grazing reserves, the repair of cattle routes, water supply, veterinary clinics and better seedlings. She said all these steps are meant to end the cycle of violence.

A Peace Commission and Loans
Binani also promised to set up a Farmer Herder Peace Commission. She said she would support local vigilantes and community leaders and give soft loans and training to both farmers and herders.

The goal, she said, is to help both groups move into modern farming and livestock production.

She stressed that peace and development will only come when farmers and herders live and work together in harmony.

The Road to the Polls
The meeting ended with prayers for peace. The Ardos of the 21 local government areas also promised to work in their own domains to make sure the endorsed candidates win at the polls.

The election dates are now fixed. The The Independent National Electoral Commission, the body that organises federal and state elections in Nigeria. has set 16 January 2027 for the presidential and The National Assembly, Nigeria’s federal legislature: the Senate and the House of Representatives. elections. Governorship and state assembly elections will hold on 6 February 2027.


Adamawa is expected to be one of the most closely watched governorship contests in the North. Binani faces strong rivals, and her own party primary drew complaints from some opponents, according to a report by Premium Times. The state’s two other big parties will also be fighting for the same votes.

INIBEHE EFFIONG CONDEMNS FORCED ATTENDANCE AT TINUBU’S CAMPAIGN EVENT IN AKWA IBOM

CALLS ANNOUNCEMENT OF SEAPORT APPROVAL FRAUDULENT

I am impelled to cut short my break from active engagement on social media to address the pathetic political deceit that President Bola Tinubu and Governor Umo Eno have undertaken in Akwa Ibom State.

On Friday, November 6, 2026, the APC presidential candidate announced that he has given approval for the establishment of a so-called “Ibom Deep-Seaport” in Akwa Ibom State.

Nigerians should be reminded that the so-called Deep-Seaport is nothing but a repeatedly parroted fraudulent project, and a money laundering scheme that successive administrations in Akwa Ibom have used to deceive and hoodwink Akwa Ibomites.

During the currency of their respective terms as governor, the Senate President Godswill Akpabio, his successor Mr. Udom Emmanuel and the incumbent, Mr. Umo Eno, have all lied shamelessly about this fictitious project.

They have all appropriated and wasted the resources of the State in the name of a non-existent seaport.

During Akpabio’s tenure as governor, the then President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, approved the establishment of a seaport.

Under Udom Emmanuel, President Buhari gave approval for the establishment of the same seaport.

Today, Tinubu has taken his turn to give yet another approval for a fake seaport that no one has seen.

Akwa Ibom people are tired of this deceit and political lunacy.

Politicians should not assume that they can perpetually engage in this level of dishonesty without rebuke.

We have had enough of this seaport approval nonsense in Akwa Ibom.

Finally, I totally condemn the irresponsible and unconstitutional actions taken by the governor of Akwa Ibom State in the name of welcoming Mr. Tinubu.

The governor has no business shutting down the State for what is apparently a partisan political event.

It is shameful that a man who parades himself as a pastor would misrepresent a partisan political event as an official State function.

Tinubu’s visitation was specifically for his reelection campaign.

Will the governor also declare a work free day and direct civil servants to attend the campaign events and rallies of presidential candidates of other political parties?

A vehicle conveying women to the airport to welcome the APC presidential candidate was involved in an accident, reportedly resulting in loss of life.

Akwa Ibom people are not slaves, and we will never allow the deceit and arrogance of failed politicians to go unchallenged.

President Tinubu’s disastrous policies and oppressive regime have brought tears, sorrow and blood to Nigeria.

Akwa Ibom is not insulated from Tinubu’s misrule.

He built Lagos from scratch and tamed the Atlantic ocean

givedemwotowoto:
Whereas his ancestor colleagues in Africa are insisting they must be the ones to continue ruling

A bank linked to the president collapsed, and he resigned

Yet here we are, with an entire country and virtually every sector collapsing, while some people still want Tinubu to continue in office.

The irony is almost comical.

If the collapse of one bank was enough to make a bank president tender his resignation, what should the collapse of an entire country demand from its president?

At the very least, Nigerians deserve accountability, an apology, and a leader willing to take responsibility, not excuses, propaganda, and another four years.

Yorubasarecurse:
The judgement will be quashed on appeal

FACT

Alliswell248:
Your intelligence is below that of Peter Obi

You intelligence is at the lowest

No reasonable individual takes what comes out from the mouth of Tinubu seriously

abc115:
This election is done and dusted

Congratulations President Bola Tinubu

God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

Which Tinubu are you congratulating, the one currently busy with religious theatrics in Saudi Arabia, or the one Nigerians are yet to see?

And what exactly is he promising Nigerians for a second term? After this first term of disaster

Alliswell248:
President Tinubu will get more votes in south east compared to 2023.

Go and write it down.

It's not by making noise on nairaland

If that is what you could deduce from my submission, then clearly, we are not operating on the same intellectual wavelength.

Your reasoning is, quite frankly, below par.

Tope Ajayi is a mad man
Xx

Tinubu knows that he has done nothing to deserve a second term:

After this much hardship, he has very little to campaign on and even less moral standing to look Nigerians in the eye and ask for a second term.

That may explain why he seems more comfortable staying away from the people than taking his message directly to them.

His strategy now appears to be simple: let the governors do the talking, mobilise the machinery, and somehow manufacture the votes.

But elections are not supposed to be a relay race where governors carry a failed administration across the finish line.

If Tinubu is truly confident in his record, let him come out, face Nigerians, defend his performance, and ask for their votes.

You cannot hide from the people and still expect the people to reward you.

AMINDA:
"Camera man, did you capture it very well or should I kiss it again?"

Camara man: kiss again, let me take another shot

Members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in Yakubu Gowon University (formerly University of Abuja), has threatened a showdown with the minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.

At the centre of the brewing feud is the allocation of portions of the university’s land to private companies and individuals.

The union warned that it would no longer guarantee industrial harmony if the minister failed to reverse the allocations, insisting that it would resist any further attempt to take over the institution’s land within the ambits of the law.

The branch chairman of the ASUU, Dr Sylvanus Ugoh, who spoke with the press in Abuja, yesterday, accused Wike of disregarding the rule of law by allocating the disputed land despite an interlocutory injunction issued by the Maitama

High Court on 18th August, 2026, restraining him from entering or encroaching on the university’s land.

“ASUU UniAbuja will no longer guarantee industrial harmony if the FCT minister fails to reverse the unlawful taking away of University of Abuja land and allocating it to his friends and cronies,” the union said.

LEADERSHIP recalls that the controversy over the institution’s land dates back to 30th June, 2025, when Wike announced plans to retrieve 7,000 hectares out of the approximately 11,000 hectares allocated to the university.

The minister made the announcement when he commissioned the newly constructed access road to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Academy within the university’s premises in the Giri District of Abuja.

According to ASUU, Wike had accused the university of land grabbing and fencing several hectares without proper approval or documentation.

However, the union maintained that it had overwhelming documentary evidence establishing that the disputed parcel of land was duly allocated to the institution by the Federal Government.

“At inception, 11,824 hectares with its coordinates was allocated to the University. The University Authority would not have on its own located itself to where the University is currently sitting on.

“Let it be clearly understood that the University of Abuja is a Federal Government institution held in trust for the Nigerian people and it is not a property of the FCT,” it said.

The union argued that the size of the land was deliberate and strategic, providing room for future expansion of academic facilities, research centres, innovation hubs and other infrastructure needed to support teaching, learning and community service.

It further explained that parts of the university’s land consisted of hills and mountainous terrain, while some areas were preserved as green spaces to maintain ecological balance and protect biodiversity.

According to the union, the land was also needed for future research institutes, centres and other innovative facilities that would contribute to national development.

ASUU said preserving green areas within the university was consistent with global environmental best practices and the African Union’s Agenda 2063 on sustainable development.

It acknowledged Wike’s efforts to develop the FCT but maintained that the responsibility for developing the Federal Government-owned university rested with the Federal Government.

The union consequently called on President Bola Tinubu to intervene in the dispute and prevail on Wike to reverse the allocations to prevent a breakdown of industrial harmony on the campus.

ASUU said: “The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), University of Abuja Branch, therefore demands that the Honourable Minister of the FCT put a stop to the unlawful allocation of the University of Abuja land and reverse every allocation made on University of Abuja land.”

It added that the President should call the minister to order to ensure that peace and harmony prevail on the university campus.

At the end it will be rainbow of confusion

He inherited it on the brink of collapse and then collapsed it finally

Rainbow confusion, creating even more confusion in the APC.

Good riddance to bad rubbish!

Ben Kalu is nothing but a political jester.

I thought that just a few months ago, he was gallivanting around, proclaiming and boasting about his ambition to become governor so he could connect Abia State to the centre.

What happened to that gubernatorial ambition? Has it suddenly died and been buried?


He no longer wants to connect Abia to the centre again? Interesting!

Theatrical to say the least

Shebi he wanted to become governor

What happened to his gubernatorial ambition
