Irewo:
Obi can quickly comment on 150 people killed in Kwara but silent on what happened in the East.

You can as well comment on what’s happening in the East.

You have a voice too.

Fani-Kayode to Tinubu: I’m not Funsho Williams, I cannot be killed like a chicken


The verbal assaults between Femi Fani-Kayode, director of media and publicity for the PDP presidential campaign organisation, and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) took a new turn on Monday.

Reacting to the criticisms directed at him for insinuating that Yemi osibanjo, the running mate to APC’s presidential candidate, was planning to step down for Bola Tinubu, Fani-Kayode pointed accusing fingers at Tinubu over the death of Funsho Williams.

Williams, a gubernatorial candidate in Lagos, was murdered under controversial circumstances on July 27, 2006.


“I do not believe in violence and I do not threaten people neither do any of my boys or any of those behind me,” Fani-Kayode wrote on Facebook.

“Tinubu should not start this. I am not Funso Williams. I cannot be killed like a chicken. I cannot be destroyed. I cannot be taken before my time. My name is Femi Fani-Kayode, and nobody can kill me before my time. Nobody can cut me short.

“I harbor no fear of violence but I do not take threats lightly. Neither do I fear for my life; because I have never shed innocent blood and because I do not believe in violence or worship the devil, the angel of the Lord will strike dead any person or any group of persons that seek to take my life or the life of any of my loved ones.”


Earlier, Tinubu accused the PDP campaign spokesman of being deranged and Lai Mohammed, APC’s publicity secretary, also said: “Fani-Kayode may have unhinged, perhaps as a result of a relapse into an unhealthy lifestyle of substance abuse.”

But he would have none of that so he hit back at the APC stalwarts.


“It is not Femi Fani-Kayode but rather Bola Tinubu that slurs when he speaks,” he said.

“It is not Femi Fani-Kayode but rather Bola Tinubu that has to take 20 pills before he can go out. It is not Femi Fani-Kayode but Bola Tinubu that his hands shake when he tries to lift his fork and knife and eat.

“It is not Femi Fani-Kayode but rather the spokesman of the APC, Lai Mohammed, that is rotting from inside and that has the chronically bad breath of a rabid poll cat.

“Lai’s breath is so bad that it is enough to knock out a polar bear from across the street. It is not Femi Fani-Kayode but rather Lai Mohammed who is suffering from loose bowel movements and who defecates every other minute to the point that he often has to wear pampers when he goes on long journeys. So, if anybody wants to talk about ill-health, they should talk about themselves and not about me.”

Lifestone:
Buhari that built second Niger Bridge saw shage in the hands on SE people

The same Buhari who described the South East as a “dot in a circle”…

How then did the South East turn around and pummel him with shege?

DeLaRue:
Mr Obi is the least impressive of the potential major presidential candidates.

He rarely says anything on the economy that comes from original thinking.

He said we should copy Argentina. We should copy Indonesia. We should copy this and that.

Now that Mr Tinubu has applied his own original policies and steadied the economy to global acclaim, Mr Obi has gone quiet on his Argentina advice.

Peter Obi lives rent free in una medulla oblongata

Obi didn’t say copy Argentina’s inflation.

If the peso collapsing is your only evidence, then you’ve accidentally proven why his advice was sound because your Tinubu's economy is mimicking Argentina, not fixing it.

Is Wike himself not a betrayer?

HacheNoire:
That’s a good one!

A renowned politician is doing same in the North. Nnamadi Kanu’s radio Biafra speeches will be aired 24 hours every day till election is over.

Are you sure you are in the right thread because your comment is at parallel with the subject matter

Hedonisco:
Because two agbado money miss roads are "taking tour" (sic) on the coastal road of corruption, it is now a matter of thank you daddy Tinubu"? Did he build it with his drug money or his Iyaloja mother's money? So he should use Nigeria's collective wealth to build a useless road in Lagos for agbado fraudsters and money miss roads to revel?

What do the hungry masses in the ghetto of Iyana-wherever in the same Lagos, who can't even afford indomie and egg have to benefit from the trillion Naira road? What of millions of Nigerians from Kano to Jalingo to Makurdi to Agenebode to Umuahia? How does this useless road to corruption that would certainly end in Lagos add value to their lives?

The kind of propaganda being spewed around this coastal highway of fraud is unimaginable.

If Tinubu had built the Second Niger Bridge, the propaganda that would have gone with it, indeed, Nigerians, especially those in the South East, would have been told to worship him as though without Tinubu the South East would still be crossing the River Niger in canoes, fleeing the supposedly impassable, death-trap First Niger Bridge.

The latest episode in your catalogue of atrocities is that children that were protesting peacefully and asking for #EndSARS and an end to police brutality have been slaughtered at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos under your watch as National Leader of the APC.

My dear Asiwaju Tinubu,

Even if the whole country is cowed and mesmerised by you and applauds your callousness, vanity, evil, subterfuge, deceit, ruthlessness, obsessive ambitions, lack of fear of God and doubkespeak I FFK, the Voice of the Voiceless, the Servant of Truth, the Lover of God, the Beloved of the Lord, the Otunba of Jogaland, the Sadaukin Shinkafi, the Odum Agu and the Odugwu Eze will not.


Your spell cannot silence, bind or blind me like it has done to others. I see you for what you are and your vain and boastful words here have confirmed it. To think I once loved and admired you gives me sleepless nights and goose pimples. How could I have been so blind?

When Baba Fasoranti's daughter was murdered by Fulani herdsmen you made mockery of it, went to his house and asked "where are the cows?"


This was insensitive, callous and painful and all the more so because when the murderers of this much-loved and referred lady were eventually apprehended and arrested they were indeed Fulani herdsmen even though their cows were not arrested with them.

The latest episode in your catalogue of atrocities is that children that were protesting peacefully and asking for #EndSARS and an end to police brutality have been slaughtered at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos under your watch as National Leader of the APC.

Sadly instead of exhibiting any remorse or displaying any regret for this abominable atrocity, with a sheepish smile and a sneering and jocular tone, you had the sheer nerve and effontry to say nothing other than that you are "still the Asiwaju of Lagos and the Jagaban?"

Yet what was even worse than this and what shocked and astounded all right-thinking people all the more was that you had the temerity to go on even further to say that the "casualties at the Lekki shooting have some questions to answer!"

You then asked, "how are they there?", "how long were they there?" and "what kind of characters were they?"

How cruel can you be? Not a word of condolence or expression of commiseration to the families of the dead but instead you offered stupid questions and baseless accusations against their wards and children who were butchered in the most brutal circumstances and heartless manner.

You have no honor. You have no shame. You have no dignity. You have no self-respect. You have no decency. Children were murdered in our streets and this is all you have to say?

You are attempting to blame them for being shot to death and blown to pieces by a bunch of genocidal maniacs in uniform who subjected them to crimes against humanity, genocide and mass murder?

You seek to cover up these horrendous crimes and you are attempting to dishonor and denigrate the dead and desecrate and mock the great sacrifice of these courageous young martyrs for democracy who were murdered in cold blood on the front lines in the field of battle?

Let me tell you this: your dastardly strategy and evil diversionary plan will not work! This matter will not go away!

You will not brush it under the carpet, you will not play it down, you and your puppet Sanwoolu will not escape responsibility for failing to protect our people from the beastly savages that slaughtered them and God will punish you for your scurrilous attempt to muddy the waters, cover up the truth and pervert the course of justice.
.

The bitter truth is that you have no conscience and no compassion. You lack the milk of human kindness. You bear no love for humanity or for human beings and you place no value or reverence on human life.

You only harbour love, which borders on obsession, for your vain and lofty ambition to rule Nigeria and trust me when I tell you that this will never happen.

You are heartless, you are cold-blooded, you are wicked, you lack empathy for the suffering and you are a sociopath. Your spell may work on others but it does not work on me.

I see you for what you are: pure evil. You are the darkness that seeks the darkness. The monster that betrayed his own people and put a tyrant and blood-sucking demon in power just to further his own fading ambition and feed his psychotic obsession for power.

Permit me to end with the following.

I urge you to find out what happened to a character called Icarus in Ancient Greek mythology when he flew too close to the sun because that is precisely what is going to happen to you.

As they say pride comes before a fall and hubris always leads to nemesis. Your hubris is here and your nemesis is coming.

To add to that the Holy Bible says "the Lord resists the proud and exalts the humble".

It also says "who art thou O man? Thou art as the flower that fadeth! Thou art as the grass that withers! A man that is born of woman, that is today and tomorrow is no more!"

I counsel and urge you to ponder and meditate deeply on these words. I advise you to humble yourself before God, get to know Him, learn to fear Him and seek justice and truth before it is too late!

Remember that you will NOT be Asiwaju and Jagaban for ever and, like all mortals, one day you will answer the great call, go the way of all flesh, come face to face with your maker and account for your horrendous crimes against the Nigerian people!

We all remembered the BAT from hell and the Asiwaju of blood

Good

Congratulations

Can Tinubu, the APC, their 10 million members and hordes of supporters implore the Akpabio-led Senate to ensure that the transmission of election results is mandatory?

Burob:
The emboldened just shows that ottersberger & yourself don’t know anything of what u are purportedly wailing over, & u reiterate the point of the senators, a glitch can only occur when u transmit an item electronically, it is exactly what the senate is avoiding, that if there is a glitch in transmission whatsoever, the manual hard copy results can still be relied upon.

Same as going to a bank to make a deposit or transfer of funds with your thumb, & they say their system is down, u should go and do it over the counter, it doesn’t stop the bank from processing the request the old fashioned way manually.

What u & your fellow obidients are advocating for in mandatory transmission cluelessness, is that if for any reason the results cannot be transmitted electronically, those results should be discarded totally, & be inadmissible as evidence in court.

Burob , this your analogy is cute, but it collapses the moment you apply logic.

Banks don’t say system down and then allow a random staffer to go home, rewrite your deposit slip, and decide later what you paid in.

There’s an audit trail, time stamps, call overs, reconciliation, and multiple layers of verification. Elections should demand more integrity than a bank deposit, not less.
BVAS already proves Nigeria can handle technology at scale. If INEC trusts electronic accreditation nationwide, claiming that electronic transmission suddenly becomes too fragile is not caution, it’s convenience.


The manual fallback you’re defending is the very loophole historically used to alter results, not a neutral safeguard.

And no one is arguing that results should be “discarded totally.” That’s a lame excuse. The argument is simple: mandatory electronic transmission creates a verifiable, immutable first record. If transmission fails, you investigate the failure, not quietly default to the most manipulable option and call it prudence.

The fear isn’t glitches. Technology glitches everywhere and gets fixed.
The fear is transparency. And that’s exactly why the loophole was preserved.

So spare us the banking metaphors. Elections aren’t cash/teller and over the counters, and Nigerians aren’t fools.

Burob:
Schmoozer Wailer it is at the discretion of Eyeneck so the law prescribes, if one is in a place where electronic transmission is not available, they are left with the option of transferring it manually.

It is ordinarily common sense austinee1, but wailers have since separated from common logic.

Wailers getting hysterical over an issue which is @ best much ado about nothing.

Burob, I must say that your comment lacks logic but dressed up as common sense.

Nigerians use smartphones, mobile banking, POS, NIN, and digital transfers every single day, even in remote areas. INEC itself trusted technology enough to deploy BVAS nationwide for voter accreditation. Yet suddenly, when it comes to result transmission, we’re told to accept “discretion” and manual handling? Please.

The Tinubu, APC-led Senate had one simple choice: make electronic transmission mandatory or leave loopholes for manipulation. They chose the loopholes. End of story.

The same loopholes that was made manifest in the last general election with the notorious word 'glitch'

So spare us the gaslighting about imaginary wailers and much ado about nothing.

If it was truly nothing, there would’ve been no fear in ensuring that election results are mandatorily transmitted

These arguments are not only dishonest, they’re insulting to Nigerians who understand exactly how elections have been rigged in this country.

Richtaiwo:
Just skim through the comments above and observe the spectacle. One is forced to ask whether these people have any employment beyond round-the-clock digital barking.

Let a single soul dare to post a remark that doesn’t worship their narrative, and they descend in chorus, foaming “paid agent!”, as though disagreement itself requires a payroll.

The irony, of course, is quite philosophical. Those most obsessed with accusing others of being paid appear to be the only ones permanently on duty, tirelessly guarding social media like watchdogs who have mistaken noise for purpose. Now, tell me, who is actually paid to bark on social media.

When insecurity, hunger, and inflation are raging, but your biggest achievement is chair arrangement, Tinubu sitting together with his guests, it’s clear who’s working overtime online.

Disagreement isn’t a payroll, defending mediocrity the way you’re doing, though, looks very much like a full-time job.

Richtaiwo:
Nigeria deserves leadership anchored in diligence, emotional intelligence, and genuine patriotism. Once again, the facts have spoken-and once again, Peter Obi got it wrong.”

Richtaiwo, what are these facts if I may ask

One would think the Lagos APC spokesperson is speaking under some kind of influence, in fact I must confess he is a mæd man because the argument being made defies logic.

The claim that the Senate “did not oppose” electronic transmission of election results is a convenient distraction.

What matters is this: did the Tinubu-led APC Senate under Akpabio make electronic transmission mandatory? No, they didn’t.

Rather than engage with this central issue, the APC has chosen deflection, attacking Peter Obi instead of answering the question Nigerians are actually asking.

Thunder 🔥⚡🔥 all of them there

And by this singular act, all the problems ravaging the nation, hunger, insecurity, hardship, unemployment, and even the collapse of the naira, have, miraculously, been solved.

garykoeman:
How many of them stood up to oppose akpabio.

You are deflecting

Mention the LP, ADC, and PDP senators and House of Representatives members who oppose mandatory transmission of elections results

garykoeman:
The Lp, ADC and PDP senators and house of rep members who are also against it are also Tinubu supporters.

Electronic transmission or not Tinubu will still win all the 36states.

Do not make wild, unverified claims here.
Mention the LP, ADC, and PDP senators and House of Representatives members who oppose it.

Remi Tinubu is a mæd woman

What is the meaning of this

Is it only Obidients that want electronic transmission of elections results, Nigerians want it done

On matters of security, the buck stops at the president’s table. Tinubu is to blame

Former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has dismissed an allegation claiming that he accused President Bola Tinubu of being responsible for the death of former Lagos State governorship candidate, Funso Williams, in 2003.

Fani-Kayode stated this following claims that popular activist, Omoyele Sowore had referenced statements allegedly made by him about Tinubu over a decade ago in a bid to justify comments that are now the subject of a criminal defamation case.

Speaking in a statement on Thursday, the ambassador-designate stated that he and former presidential aide Reno Omokri have long retracted their previous harsh criticisms of Tinubu.

He insisted that Sowore cannot use the statements in a defamation case against him.

“That allegation is untrue. I never said that President Tinubu killed Funso Williams,” Fani-Kayode said.

He explained that the statement he made 11 years ago was: “I am not Funso Williams; I cannot be killed like a chicken,” adding that the remark had since been withdrawn and acknowledged as inappropriate and capable of being misconstrued.

Fani-Kayode said the comments were made during the 2015 presidential election campaign, when he served as Director of Media and Publicity of former President Goodluck Jonathan’s Presidential Campaign Organisation under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He noted that intense political rivalries during election campaigns often lead to harsh exchanges, describing such occurrences as common in political contests worldwide.

The former minister further stated that he left the PDP in 2020 and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2021, after which he became a staunch supporter of Tinubu.

He said he later played a key role as Director of New Media and Special Operations in Tinubu’s 2023 Presidential Campaign Organisation, leading a directorate of about 250 people and contributing to the president’s electoral victory.

Fani-Kayode added that he has continued to support and defend President Tinubu and his administration since the president was sworn into office, insisting that his actions demonstrate that he harbours no misgivings against the president.

He also stated that although Reno Omokri opposed Tinubu’s candidacy during the 2023 election, Omokri had since retracted his criticisms after the president’s victory and now supports his policies.

Fani-Kayode described attempts to associate himself or Omokri with Sowore’s legal troubles as “absurd,” urging Sowore to retract his statements about the president or be prepared to defend them in court

Obaofaba:
Nigeria is not ripe for electronic transmission of results nationwide.

Our infrastructure is weak to do that.

Until we are ready, manual transmission of results should continue.

As strong as our Banks network are, low budget Yahoo boys still find way to hack them.

My advice is for all political parties to have their agents across all the polling units and ensure they have the signed copies of the results.

Was the election Jonathan won by manual transmission of results in 2011 also rigged?

Why the cry now?

You want to hack the inec irev portal abi, unna never reach.

I thought Tinubu is the best thing ever after slice bread, let him make Nigeria ripe

Akpabio is merely taking orders from the drug baron

A drug lord is a drug lord.

He is not interested in meaningful reforms, electoral reforms, structural reforms, or even the much-talked-about restructuring they were singing about before they grabbed power and ran away with it. That conversation is no longer happening.

Truly, Tinubu is on a mission to become Nigeria’s Paul Biya.

Burob:
Yes he is, so make u go report to Donald Trump, European Union, abi na United Nations.

Or u just weep on helplessly.

So it’s now Trump, EU, and UN? No worry, shout their names very well. At least you’ve accepted that Tinubu, your so-called political master strategist is terrified of free, fair, and credible elections. If he wasn’t, you for no dey this emotional. Carry on.

Tinubu is eternally afraid of free, fair, and credible elections. He knows that the only way to perpetuate himself in power is to resist any electoral reform that could threaten his criminal grip on power.

Jonathan introduced the card reader.
Buhari introduced BVAS.

What will Tinubu be remembered for?

Of course, electoral banditry, thuggery, agberoism, voter intimidation, suppression and the institutionalisation of compromised institutions.

A drug lord is a drug lord.

He is not interested in meaningful reforms, electoral reforms, structural reforms, or even the much-talked-about restructuring they were singing about before they grabbed power and ran away with it. That conversation is no longer happening.

Truly, Tinubu is on a mission to become Nigeria’s Paul Biya.

Wallade:
From information available, I think the Senate didn't remove electronic transmission of election results at polling centers as an option for INEC in the Electoral Act.

The Senate simply left it as an option subject to INEC but refused to indicate "electronic transmission of election results" as mandatory.

When you make it mandatory, it is no longer optional - that would be the law.

However, it would be stupid not to think about technological glitches, cyber attacks and sabotage, cyber hacking, information system failure, location challenges with IT infrastructure and other possible challenges. In view of these, there must be options.

Hence, I agree with the Senate on the decision not to make "electronic transmission of election results at polling centers" mandatory.

Funny how “technological glitches” suddenly become a deal-breaker only when transparency is involved.

If electronic transmission is optional, then manipulation is guaranteed. Options are exactly where rigging hides.

And let’s not pretend Nigeria is too poor or too backward for tech, especially when Tinubu’s government approved about N1 trillion for INEC. You don’t allocate that kind of money for calculators and carbon paper.

If the concern was genuinely glitches and hacking, the solution is better systems and safeguards, not deliberately keeping elections analog.

Democracy isn’t protected by loopholes, it’s protected by transparency.

Thunder 🔥⚡🔥 Bayo Onanuga and his mockery

When the opposition suggested that Tinubu should seek assistance from countries like the United States having clearly demonstrated a lack of capacity to tackle the insecurity ravaging the entire country, the Tinubu APC regime and its hordes of supporters cried foul, claiming that Nigeria’s sovereignty would be undermined.

A certain 70-year-old senior domestic servant even went as far as accusing an opposition leader of undermining the nation’s sovereignty, insisting that Nigerians would never forgive nor forget such a suggestion.

Yet today, after effectively surrendering the country’s security situation to Donald Trump and the U.S. government, while absconding, the same regime now offers weak justifications for its obvious incompetence, arguing that Nigeria’s sovereignty has somehow not been undermined.

So the question remains: when it suits them, sovereignty matters; when it exposes their failure, it suddenly does not?

Thunder 🔥💥🔥💥 Tinubu, APC and their hoardes of Agbadoos

I hope they will not reject Reno Omokri’s confessional statement in which he admits to going to Chicago and verifying, through court documents, that Tinubu is a known drug lord.
