Paul Ibe, the media adviser to the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Atiku Abubakar, has said President Bola Tinubu should stop blaming Nigeria’s insecurity on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Ibe said Tinubu inherited the country’s security challenges from the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari. Ibe, while reacting to comments by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, on the abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oyo State. Terrorists had abducted primary school pupils and teachers from L.A. School and Community Grammar School, Ahoro-Esinele, in Oyo State. Following the incident, Tinubu sent a high-level delegation to the affected communities. The delegation included the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, Ribadu and other senior officials. Speaking during the visit, Ribadu said Tinubu inherited insecurity and blamed the PDP. Reacting in a post on 𝕏, Ibe described Ribadu’s position as dishonest. He said, “This is revisionism à la APC. It is disingenuous of NSA Nuhu Ribadu to blame the inability of the Tinubu-led APC administration to safely rescue the Oyo abducted school children on the PDP government that the APC replaced 11 years ago.” Ibe also criticised the timing of the Federal Government’s visit to families of the abducted victims. He added, “By the way, it took the President two weeks to send a delegation to visit the families of the abducted school children and teachers in Oriire. “Tinubu inherited security challenges from his APC predecessor. Keep on blaming everyone except yourself while the children continue to languish in the custody of their abductors in Oyo, Borno and elsewhere.” https://www./2026/06/02/tinubu-inherited-insecurity-apc-predecessor-atikus-aide/ |
“If Festus Keyamo truly wishes to offer advice, he should begin by advising the APC-led administration to address the challenges confronting ordinary Nigerians. Until then, his attempts to lecture others on governance and political judgment will continue to ring hollow,” he said.Festus keyamo is a mad mad |
There is no socio-economic index by which you can measure Tinubu that he has not performed abysmally, woefully, and spectacularly on....absolutely none. Around the world, governments come to make life easier and improve living standards. Tinubu came to make life worse for Nigerians and diminish their standard of living. Tinubu has no reason whatsoever to seek re-election. |
yarimo:While hardships, deaths and Tinubu are like bread and butter |
Nigerians should declare Tinubu's regime, A black regime Tinubu's mandate, a mandate of hardships and deaths |
More clashes in the coming days, weeks and months ahead It's good for the polity |
The Baale of Yawota Community in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State has revealed that parents and families of pupils, students and teachers abducted by gunmen in the community rejected rice and cash brought by Federal government delegates who visited to sympathise with them after the incident. Speaking during an interview on the abduction, the traditional ruler said the affected families insisted that their priority was the safe return of their children and relatives rather than material assistance. According to the Baale, armed bandits invaded the community and abducted several schoolchildren and teachers while firing gunshots indiscriminately. “They took away little children and continued shooting during the attack,” he said. He explained that shortly after the assailants left the area, community leaders reported the incident to the Nigeria Police Force(NPF). The Baale commended the police for their swift response, noting that officers promptly arrived at the scene and were briefed on the circumstances surrounding the attack. He further disclosed that government representatives who later visited the community brought rice and money for the victims’ families, but the gesture was turned down. “The parents rejected the rice and money. They said what they want is the safe release of their children,” he stated. The community leader also said a delegation of women representing Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, visited the affected families to console them. According to him, the delegation equally came with rice and financial support, but the families declined the gifts. “They came with rice and money, but the parents rejected it, saying they only want their children released,” he added. The attack occurred on May 16 when armed assailants stormed the Ahoro-Esiele/Yawota axis of Ogbomoso and abducted pupils, students and teachers from Community Grammar School, Baptist Nursery and Primary School, and L.A. Primary School. The incident has heightened concerns over insecurity in the area, with residents calling on security agencies and the government to intensify efforts to secure the release of the victims and prevent future attacks on schools and communities https://guardian.ng/news/why-we-rejected-fg-rice-cash-gifts-baale-of-oriire/ |
LegendHero:The irony is that you're proving my point without realizing it. The noise, outrage, and protests you're referring to didn't suddenly appear because Yorubaland values life more than everyone else. They appeared because the incident happened in Tinubu's region and became an embarrassment to the president, you and many of his supporters who have spent years defending. If the same urgency, outrage, and accountability were applied consistently across the country regardless of ethnicity, region, or who occupies Aso Rock, Nigeria would be in a much better place. As for your condolences, keep them. Nobody is immune to insecurity, which is exactly the point I was making. Whether you're Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, or from any other part of Nigeria, bullets don't check political affiliation before they fly. The noise is just that, noise, unless it translates into lasting action and accountability. Until then, we're all living with the same risk, and if things continue this way, we may all end up sharing condolences. |
LegendHero:Since you're predicting that it will reach 1 million in 20 years based on the current trend because you want Tinubu to continue, I hope you won't be shocked when you or a member of your family gets caught in the crossfire, because if things continue this way, that possibility becomes increasingly real. Please don't get me wrong, I am not wishing you any harm. I'm simply pointing out that we are in a very precarious situation, and the consequences could affect anyone. |
LegendHero:But the below statistics says otherwise And the worst of it is that it's happening everywhere
|
LegendHero:What about the mandate of hardships and deaths, will that also be an easy sell? |
FSBoperator:What did you say? It's obvious you emerged from Pluto |
FSBoperator:How? |
truthera:Ironically, you are learning hard lessons with hardships and deaths |
FSBoperator:Ask yourself the question, is it necessary |
seunowa:You keep saying Obi has no pathway, yet you're the one making all the noise about him. That's a lot of attention for someone you claim has no pathway. |
So you believe the lies from Remi Tinubu |
Daniel Bwala is a shadow of his former self. Every now and then, he throws Peter Obi's name into the conversation just to remain relevant. That interview with Mehdi Hasan dealt a devastating blow to whatever little credibility he had left. He is no longer taken seriously even within the Presidency. He is merely being allowed to hang around and bide his time until the day he is finally shown the door, after which he will quietly fade into obscurity |
slivertongue:The sacked faction conducted the primaries, so every action it purportedly took is null, void, and of no legal effect. In law, they should never have existed in the first place. As the saying goes, you cannot place something on nothing and expect it to stand. As it stands, the APC in Rivers has a serious candidate-legitimacy problem. The same applies to Wike's faction of the PDP, its structure has been invalidated by the supreme court. A faction that lacks legal standing cannot validly produce candidates. Have you seen Wike campaigning for any of his faction PDP candidates, shebi his faction produced a presidential candidate, Sandy Ojang Onor. Why is he not campaigning for him. That's should tell you all that is needed Ironically, Wike appears to have anticipated this confusion himself. In one of his recent outbursts, he suggested that Rivers PDP, APC, LP, and AA would produce candidate in what he described as a rainbow coalition. The situation suggests a politician caught in the consequences of his own political calculations. In trying to outwit everyone else, Wike may have ended up boxing himself into a corner. Infact, Wike may have succeeded only in outsmarting himself. |
Remi Tinubu is so detached from the realities facing ordinary Nigerians. While families anxiously await the safe return of schoolchildren and teachers still in the hands of kidnappers, she is busy campaigning in Ekiti. At times like this, humanity should come before politics. Empathy requires knowing when to pause the campaign trail and stand in solidarity with those who are suffering Nigerians have never witnessed such a wicked family in history |
Tinubu has displayed a level of incompetence and cluelessness that many Nigerians consider both unprecedented and deeply troubling |
obiekunie01:What about Tinubu withdrawing from the presidential race? Have you considered that? After all, his performance has been abysmally, woefully, and spectacularly disappointing. By the standards he set for others, perhaps he should step aside and support a more capable candidate. |
chopnaira:He was never one to begin with |
seunmsg:You are asking what exactly is my point? My point is that I have been calling him a Grass Cutter scammer all along, and I haven't stopped. Unlike some people, I don't suddenly discover selective amnesia whenever a politician is heading to my preferred party. The real question is: did you stop calling him a Grass Cutter scammer when he was supporting Peter Obi? Because I seem to remember many Tinubu/APC supporters of which you are a prominent one, using that label every chance they got. Now that he's reportedly on his way to the APC, I'm supposed to believe he's suddenly a statesman? I have no problem with political defections. What I find amusing is watching people like you who spent years condemning a man magically rehabilitate his image the moment he starts moving in their direction. As for the crying, nobody is crying. I'm simply pointing out the irony that a man who campaigned against the Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2023 may soon be defending and selling the same mandate he once condemned, a mandate many Nigerians associate with hardship and death. The comedy isn't that he's changing sides. The comedy is watching his loudest critics prepare to pretend they never called him a Grass Cutter scammer in the first place. |
So Tinubu didn't inherit any security challenges from Buhari? I never knew Nuhu Ribadu could be this clueless. |
seunmsg:Actually, the 'Grass Cutters' scammer has already left the ADC and is reportedly on his way to the APC, where he'll be welcomed with open arms, treated to a photo-op with Tinubu at the Villa, and probably rewarded with a role in the Tinubu re-election campaign council. Funny how the same man who campaigned against the Muslim-Muslim ticket in 2023 will now be expected to defend and sell the very mandate he once condemned and also defend a mandate that, for many Nigerians, has since become a mandate of hardship and death. |
Wike has gone rogue. He appears increasingly paranoid. In just a few days, he has issued statements against nearly every imagined or perceived enemy. When a politician starts seeing enemies everywhere, it often says more about their state of mind than about the people they're attacking. |
Richtaiwo:But you accept a notorious drug bárón, idéntity thiéf, and forger whose Renewed Hope scam keeps serving Nigerians hardships and deaths, |
We Are Sorry Mummy – Cute Abiola Apologises to Patience Jonathan Over Past Mockery Patience Jonathan and Cute Abiola Cute Abiola, a Nigerian skit maker, went on social media to apologise to former First Lady Patience Jonathan over past mockery when she spoke about insecurity and kidnappings in Nigeria. Taking to his Instagram page, the comedian shared a photo of the former First Lady, remembering how she often showed concern during her time in office whenever there were reports of kidnapping and violence. Back then, some Nigerians on social media often mocked her emotional reactions. He pointed out that now, with insecurity still affecting parts of the country, many people see her past reactions differently. They now understand her responses as genuine concern for victims and their families, not as a sign of weakness. He said he was sorry that she had been ridiculed before and thanked her for having the courage to speak up at the time. https://www.legit.ng/entertainment/celebrities/1712432-cute-abiola-apologises-patience-jonathan-viral-crying-clip-kidnapping-warned/i
