Peter Omo Obinna WILL NEVER EVER COME CLOSE TO WINNING THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN NIGERIA.

The National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, has insisted that the scandal involving the Presidential Foreign Intervention Promotion Council, PFIPC, led by its purported Director General, Adeniyi Adeyemi, has exposed President Bola Tinubu’s Presidency as a den of corruption.

Abdullahi said Nigerians should be embarrassed that the PFIPC scam has created a bad impression of the country before the international community.

In an interview with Symfoni TV, Abdullahi said Nigerians and the world now sees Tinubu’s Presidency as one involved in racketeering.

He said: “Not just Tinubu but all of us as Nigerians should feel collectively embarrassed because the impression that has been created before the world today is that the Nigerian presidency is a den of corruption, there has been whispers of people taking money to award contracts, taking money in the presidency to arrangement appointment with the president, people taking money to get appointments for people in agencies and parastatals, we never believed it because we said that it could never be that bad.

“I have been a minister and I compared my time and I said it’s not possible but with this Adeyemi’s allegation, people are thinking that this is just the one that is out, this thing has been going on for a long time and it’s just business as usual under Tinubu, this is just the one that got out.”

He charged Tinubu to ensure that the matter is properly investigated to clear his Presidency of being complicit in corruption.

“And that is why I said that Tinubu has a duty to himself to ensure that this matter is investigated and proven beyond all doubts that his presidency is not complicit in this level of corruption that has shaken the firmament of our nation.

“He started by exonerating his Chief of Staff that I have confidence in him but what people are hearing is I’m protecting my Chief of Staff, it’s not good for him,” he said.


Abdullahi charged Gbajabiamila to proceed on leave and allow for an independent investigation into the scam.

He added: “People believe that the Chief of Staff has colluded in corruption of this magnitude but he said no I have no hand in it, then why are you afraid of an independent panel to investigate? If I were Gbajabiamila, I would go to the president and say I offer to go on leave because it’s my name that is being dragged in the mud and no amount of money on earth is worth my name.

“I offer to proceed on leave so that this investigation can be carried out so that I can be exonerated beyond all doubts but you are sitting in the office while all this stench of corruption is spelling around you?”

NigerianAngelo:
You mean N200 Milo sachet.

Dalohad:
See how tattered and haggard the fake agbado bishop look..

If Soludo catch these ones, na jail straight. Fake pastors..

And Tinubu cannot help them because he has paid them for their 'Act 1, Scene 2' shenanigans.

He owes them nothing anymore.

Someone that was in exile.

How old were yoi during Abacha regime?

Richtaiwo:
So between the "Chief Executive Officer" of agencies and the president, who knows how agencies are funded? Who knows where the govt sources the funding of agencies from? I won't be surprised if you say the head of agencies know better. Na normal obedients way.

Richtaiwo:
So the video of students jubilating upon receipt of their monthly stipends is a power point presentation?

Since the day Trump congratulated Tinubu on his fight against terrorism, Atiku has been crying non stop while Peter Obi increased his visits to media houses.

Atiku should go and explain himself to Obasanjo.

Moroccoguy:
We have a lot of olodo uprising in Nigeria, someone that claims his certificate was loot during military raids at his residence, he wouldn't be able to present the certificate now, he couldn't present the certificate why filling it on the form.

Former Minister of Sports, Solomon Dalung, has called on President Bola Tinubu to explain why the sections for his primary and secondary school qualifications were left blank in the personal particulars he submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the 2027 presidential election.

Dalung made the call in a post on his X account on Saturday while reacting to the nomination documents published by INEC.

According to him, his comments were based on the documents released by the electoral commission and should not be interpreted as an allegation against the President.

“I just read the published particulars of presidential candidates released by INEC for the 2027 election, and one thing immediately caught my attention,” Dalung wrote.

He noted that Tinubu listed only his university degree while leaving the sections for his primary and secondary school qualifications blank.

The former minister said the omission raises questions that deserve clarification, stressing that public trust is strengthened through openness and transparency.

“If there is a perfectly reasonable explanation, Nigerians deserve to hear it. Public office, especially the presidency, is built on public trust. Trust flourishes where there is openness, not ambiguity,” he stated.

Dalung argued that the same standard of accountability demanded of other political actors should also apply to the incumbent president.

He maintained that the issue was not whether Tinubu attended any particular primary or secondary school, but whether holders of public office should provide complete disclosures in official documents.

Dalung further stated that transparency remains the easiest way to address public concerns, adding that silence often fuels speculation.

“The same standard applied to every other candidate should apply to the incumbent President. No more, no less.

“The easiest way to put every question to rest is transparency. Silence rarely ends speculation; openness usually does,” he added.

DAILY POST reports that Dalung’s remarks followed the publication of the personal particulars of presidential candidates by INEC on Saturday.

A review of Tinubu’s EC9 nomination form showed that the President listed only a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration obtained from Chicago State University in 1979 under the educational qualifications section, while the spaces provided for his primary and secondary school qualifications were left blank.

The President, however, attached copies of his university degree certificate and National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificate as part of the supporting documents submitted to INEC.

Arostar2023:
The only wrong the bishop committed was not being politically correct. He presented the feelings of his parishioners to the presidency as it is. Just like the pope once told Trump what he believed to be the truth point blank. BAT should be glad that someone told him the truth without fear.

Lifestone:
You didn't answer my questions. Is it the responsibility of Government to feed my family, my answer is No.

Lifestone:
Just wondering, is it the responsibility of Government to feed people? Just asking

Lithiumite:
All the monies the church has been siphoning to the vatican how much has it helped the masses it is being taken from.

How many free health care centers even for tbeir members......free schools,missionary schools and church higher institutions are amongst the most expensive in this country......Ancilla hospital owned by the Catholic church is nowhere for the poor to seek health care,this one is here running his mouth like tap water,but if it were to be obi you will start lieing to your parishioners and you will be shining teeth and be praying for him lieing to those same parishioners how obi is devine because he is Catholic... ..its obvious the Catholic church is ready to go head on to turn 2027 into a religious war,yesterdayit was onaiyekan now this one........support your obi in peace but never get into what you shouldn't get into.

tragergeorge:
did he ask churches to feed anyone,,has a church ever fed you or Anyone in your house
what the church does is feed you with the spirit of hope, believe, faith
its the position of the church according to him to let the people know it's gonna be fine.. that the country is stabilizing

FreeStuffsNG:
He is making lousy excuses that the early church forbids.
Reminds me that we are in the end times.

Asiwaju is doing his patriotic duties excellently, patriotic Nigerians support the President and will re-elect him come January next year. My advice to the opposition politician and the catholic church is to do fulfil their obligations to their members and match faith with works!

Fela has been shouting this since the late 1970s with " Pope na enjoyment" remark in the lyrics of Shuffering and Shmiling.

ijayalolo:
Amen, and it shall never be well with those trying to package a worse trader who is empty upstairs and takes advise from a madman to govern, just because he's their tribesman, when a more competent candidate with clear manifesto of how to move Nigeria forward is there.


Thank you for your attention to this matter
