What are your constructive suggestions and solutions if i may ask. Is there really anything that hasn't been done?

Constructive suggestions start with accountability not photo ops. If 'everything has been done,' why are Nigerians still battling insecurity, poverty, inflation, and hunger? Governance isn’t about staging visits for the cameras; it’s about delivering real, measurable change.

And if truly everything has been done under Tinubu’s leadership and the suffering and insecurities still persists, then maybe the honest next step is for him to tender his resignation and let a more competent leader take over. It’s not too much to ask, it’s called responsibility

This áshãwó kobo kobo have found his voice

When did Peter Obi say that Tinubu should wear black clothes?

INEC is increasingly appearing to act as an electoral arm of the APC. It is now engaging in retaliatory responses to opposition voices and attempting to shut down dissenting opinions

seunmsg:
Is there anything President Tinubu can do that would satisfy Atiku and Peter Obi? Is the aim of Mr. President’s visit to Benue to empathize with the people or to satisfy haters and sore losers like Atiku and Peter Obi?

Like they say, you can’t wake a man who is pretending to be sleeping. Those who have vowed never to see the good in you will anyways find fault in everything you do. It’s better to keep ignoring them.

seunsmg It’s not about being satisfied or unsatisfied, it’s about accountability. When leaders visit crisis-hit areas, citizens expect genuine action, not optics. Constructive criticism isn’t hatred; it’s part of a healthy democracy. Atiku, Obi, and every concerned Nigerian have the right to question intentions and demand results. Rather than dismissing critics as ‘sore losers,’ we should focus on turning concern into concrete change for the people of Benue state

Factcheck0001:
this is the problem with u people, once it's your kinsmen involved then u don't care what happened than to support him.

There are many people online that witnessed the event, it was clearly stated that airpeace gave out ticket online for 109k and when it was boarding time and they realise many people were on ground they raised it to 250k and the people protested.

Everyone protested and when they realised a big man was inside which is oshiomole, they decided to give him special treatment which he rejected and everyone of them protested.

So how are they trying to pull air peace down?

Oshiomole wasn't trying to break any rule or trying to b above the law but he wanted equal treatment for everyone.


If not for the dubious nature of some Nigerians, y increase d flight ticket to 250k cos there were many passengers without considering those who booked for 109 online.


Before u come for me, just know ibos like u too were affected and they complained too on twitter

Were you directly involved, or did you just lift Oshiomhole's narrative and post it here?

Tinubu has proven to be an unmitigated disaster.

SadiqBabaSani:
Nonsense Northern propaganda , what will this achieve, South must do 8yrs

If the South must have eight years, then it shouldn’t be Tinubu, because he has failed woefully and turned out to be a huge disappointment, morally decrepit and unworthy of demanding eight years, especially after working with his allies to truncate the South’s chance at an unbroken eight-year tenure under Goodluck Jonathan

WizardOfNG:
I did not say Obi is irrelevant. Of course he is relevant to you and street level hero-worshippers and ignorant/illiterate members of the Nigerian population.

To other leaders and important decision-makers, who understand what it takes to lead and make transformational decision, Obi is not a character to be respected.

To them, he is a glorified traders, and never a leaders, who failed horribly as Governor of Anambra. He was not even mediocre. He was very poor.

While you people who cursed him yesterday are now trying to whitewash his image today because of desperation for an Igbo Presidency.

Using an example to put issues in context for you, how many leaders, even if they dislike Wike's combative style, can accuse him of not being brave when they saw him stand his ground to face Fulani born-to-rule arrogance in PDP while Obi fled to Labour?

Obi, given his history, is the worst candidate to ever step forward to Nigeria's President.

Peter Obi, the man you call a “glorified trader,” left office in Anambra with no debt, billions in savings, improved education metrics, and a reputation for prudence that even Soludo no fan of his could not fully discredit. If that’s “failure,” please explain what we should call the current federal economic disaster under your celebrated “decision-makers.” World class leadership?
It's quite funny that you support a man who vanished from public view during the EndSARS protests now mocking Obi for “not being brave.” Peter Obi didn't flee to Labour party, he escaped a rigged political structure, gave Nigerians a third option, and broke the monopoly of tribal politics. That takes spine, not cowardice.

If Tinubu ever dares to leave the APC and stand on his own, he wouldn't even scrape 500,000 votes. That’s how hollow his so-called popularity really is

You claim that Peter Obi isn't respected by "leaders"? Funny how the same man is hosted by global institutions like Chatham House, Columbia University, the IMF while your own hero can barely sit through an interviews

Finally, reduce Obi to “street-level” all you want. History is kind to men who walked the streets with the people. It rarely remembers those who clung to power with no credibility.

If the price of being “irrelevant” is integrity, then Nigerians will take Obi’s irrelevance over Tinubu’s relevance any day.

WizardOfNG:
Bruv, go and find something to do with your time other than constant hero-worship of the charlatan Obi.

When serious and existential issues facing Nigeria are to be discussed then know that Obi will never be invited to sit in attendance.

His political peers who have the security reports of Obi's handling of security challenges in Anambra, know he is incompetent, cowardly, duplicitous and compromised.

Only you street level messiah worshippers believe Obi to be what he is not to try to convince others of your delusions.

If not, tell me when, in the history of Nigeria, that a Presidential candidate has not even have a few distinguished and undisputed achievers and titans in politics, business and industry behind him as is the case with the political leper Obi.

The fanbase of Obi mainly consist of young Nigerians with memories that does not stretch beyond 2019 when Obi ran as VP to Atiku.

If Obi is truly irrelevant, it's strange how much energy you’re spending trying to discredit him. His appeal isn’t about hero-worship, it’s about a clear break from the recycled politics of godfatherism and unchecked corruption. Young Nigerians support him because they are tired of the old system failing them. That’s not delusion, it’s clarity.

AMINDA:
He can't rig in the North though. You can take that to the bank. That's the fastest way to get counted (apologies to Peter Obi).

Tinubu's electoral loss will start from the Northwest. He had better stick with Shettima to salvage something out of the Northeast. Heads or tail, he's toast. The featherweight northern opportunists and hangers-on that he has around him cannot galvanise Northern votes in his favour.

helinues:
There is nothing the presidency would do that you sore losers would appreciate.

Calling people ‘sore losers’ for criticizing a carnival-style visit to a state ravaged by violence and insecurity is exactly what’s wrong with blind loyalty. This isn’t about politics it’s about empathy and priorities.

Benue has lost countless lives. When the president visits, it should be with concrete plans, compassion, and urgency not photo-ops, celebrations, or school children lining the roads under the rain to welcome him.

Nigerians aren’t asking for too much just leadership that puts people above optics. Speaking out isn’t bitterness. It’s called conscience.

richmond500:
I don't know if someone will do better but it is obvious Obi is far much more clueless than even Buhari.
None of his interview has unique substance, that u could place your hand on, he has shown complete zero leadership qualities in handling the crisis of LP

" I will do it in an organized way" is not a solution to any problem.

As for Atiku, his plan is simple, acquire wealth and make his friends richer, he hasn't shown he has any solution to Nigerian problems

I understand that we all support different candidates, and that’s okay. But let’s try to be fair. Saying Peter Obi is ‘more clueless than Buhari’ is quite a stretch. Obi has consistently articulated his plans with data and a clear emphasis on fiscal responsibility, education, and production-driven growth, things Nigeria urgently needs.

It's fine if his style doesn’t resonate with everyone, but calling it 'zero leadership' ignores the fact that he governed Anambra prudently, left no debts, improved health and education, and was even praised by institutions like the World Bank.

As for the internal issues in the Labour Party no major political party is immune to internal crises, including APC and PDP. What matters is how a leader responds, and Obi has chosen to focus on the issues, not distractions.

Saying 'I’ll do it in an organized way' may sound simple, but in a country where disorganization has fueled corruption and inefficiency, organization is a solution. Nigeria needs leaders who prioritize systems, not slogans.

Announced3:
Peter Obi will never be president ✍️

Rest

Is this the topic under discussion? Please don’t derail the thread

Truly, Peter Obi must be haunting some people’s dreams...rent-free and full-time.

Since they came on board and unleashed hardship, strife, and starvation, they’ve been promising it will end but they have no clue when, or even how.

sparko1:
You are joking right, you mean yes Daddy is detribalised?🙄🙄

No, it’s Tinubu and his Emi-lokan brand of bitter, ethnic, and tribal politics along with his religious divisive same-faith Muslim-Muslim ticket that is ‘detribalized’?

helinues:
Peter Obi has actually abused the word opposition. To him, all the government moves must be opposed even if it doesn't make sense

Peter Obi isn’t abusing opposition, he’s practicing it the way it should be: by holding leaders accountable. If visiting a crisis-ridden Benue in a fanfare parade makes sense to you, then maybe it’s not Obi who’s lost the plot. Funny how Tinubu and his gang, who practically made bitter opposition a full-time job during Jonathan’s time, suddenly can’t stand a taste of their own medicine.

femtex007:
Is he the cause?
This issue has been happening for over 25 yrs now

Since according to you he is not the cause, why did he go there

JagabanBorgu:
The moment you mention PitObi, just know u have faiIed before starting.

Mentioning Peter Obi shouldn’t be seen as a failure but as engaging with ideas that challenge the status quo. Avoiding the conversation only shows a lack of confidence in your own position.

Tinubu is the real tested failure

adekolaelect:
As your soul dey deceived you body !!!! One day your ability to think and comment rightly will locate you.

When blind loyalty becomes your only vision, even truth go look like insult. One day, reality go knock, I just hope say e no too late to open door

DuttyChuks:
Apc as a party had killed more citizens than terrorists.
..

An indisputable fact.

........................

UpaIweka:
Sebi it was Tinubu that as been killing them since Obasanjo Yardua Ebele Buhari as been president .

What part of ipobland are you ?!

I'm not from ipobland.
So because other presidents did nothing, Tinubu should also do nothing?
Where exactly did you emerge from?

Tinubu is only trying to deceive himself, not the people of Benue State.

Is this still democracy or democrazy

Men of goodwill should speak up

thesicilian:
The history books are there. Even accounts of foreigners who witnessed and documented what was going on show that Ojukwu was hotheaded about going to war, with the belief that they could easily defeat the Nigerian army. Have you ever heard of any country where the military is controlled by regional governments?

Which of the two, Gowon or Ojukwu, reneged on the Aburi Accord?

gidgiddy:
Gowon should stop lying to Nigerians, the records are there. Regional Army was agreed at Aburi, and it was agreed that the Regional Armies would be under the control of the Regional Military Governors

You signed the agreement, only to return to Nigeria, realised that what you signed gave a lot of powers to Regions, then went back on the agreement

You invited Ojukwu to the Midwest meeting knowing fully well that Ojukwu was not safe there, but Ojukwu sent Phillip Effiong to represent him.

You then completely broke the Aburi agreement with Decree 14 that dissolved the 4 Regions, and created 12 new states to replace them

To add insult to injury, you immediately enacted Decree 15 that abolished resource control

Gowon, you caused the war by breaking the Aburi agreement you signed with Ojukwu, just because you and your fellow Northerners wanted control of Nigeria

Gowon may keep lying to himself, but no one's buying it

Good

Please go after the attackers

He should ensure that he visits the front line of the attacks, meets with the victims, and assures them of the government's support.

helinues:
Those who have found their lost voice about the Benue killings were all hiding behind their wardrobes every Monday for good 2 years on the order for some illiterate kids which the Igwes dare not disobey

Maybe they were following in Tinubu’s footsteps, just as he refused to condemn the killer herdsmen ravaging the entire South West. When he was eventually pressured to speak, all he could say was, 'Where are the cows?'
