SmartPolician:
Alhaji Tinubu, it's not true.

The biggest impediment to Nigeria's economic growth is lack of patriotism.

Wrong. Tinubu is right in a way.

Without the government first GIVING to it's citizens and doing all they can to make them comfortable (in this case, the provision of steady electricity) then Patriotism would never come into play.

Patriotism comes as a result of what you have FIRST seen or experienced which you now want to adhere to as a Patriot or be patriotic to. It's like falling in love with a guy or girl because YOU FIRST saw the reason to.

Tinubu is right

This desperation is too much

Tinubu, have you solved power problem in Lagos ?

Have individual states been allowed by law to generate their own power? If that structure had been put in place then trust that Lagos would have solved their own power problem a long time ago

Do Tinubu have a stake in any of the DISCOS in Nigeria?

I love the points he raised

As for me, Tinubu is the only serious candidate for now

I can't wait to hear him speak more on his plans for Nigeria.

I fully agree with him on this.

The same tinubu that brought this incompetent leader called buhari is the person serious to you.
You all are saying the subsidy are impending the Nigeria economy yet the slowpoke called tinubu is still talking about it.

Not everyone accepts the chaos and stone age ways of the country.

The country slowly kills some, since its the survival of the fittest, at least some flee from chaotic living or know how to be flexible in such a senseless and savage lands.

Since you know this, I don't expect you to be in support of those who are behind the chaos for the selfish politic gains.

Not everyone would have the resources to "flee". The nation has to work and we must hold those managing the assets and resources of our fatherland responsible.

Any presidential aspirant that cites electricity as a hindrance to the country's economic growth is doing well. because ELECTRICITY IS THE ENGINE DRIVE OF INDUSTRIALIZATION.. no two ways about economic growth... but the problem is , who will actualize this agenda

Sounds good on paper, but which polithiefcian is ready and willing to do the needful in Nigeria? None! They all sing and dance to a different tune on assumption of office

I have always said that the best presidents are those who have had a lifelong desire to become president not the accidental ones. When you have spent your life dreaming of becoming president everyday you are occupied with what you want to change or fix, you spend your life studying things and what you feel will work and fine tuning it. Now I am not one of those who feel Tinubu did an excellent job in Lagos, but he did do a few good things and 20 years later the country has passed a bill legalizing what he tried to institute in Lagos but what blocked IPP and state grids.

He is right on interest rates, I have always befuddled by 2 things he addressed 1) our obsession with interest rates that neither stemmed inflation or helped businesses borrow to grow. Our obsession with not borrowing for infrastructure and tax receipts. If there is one thing Tinubu has been proven to be good at it is increasing IGR.

He may get there and not deliver but he is the 1st candidate to address some of the real issues. I have always felt he was to man to beat based purely on politics but now that he is beginning to unfold what is looking so far as substance , I might actually start to believe he actually has what it takes.

jesmond3945:
interest rates are increased because of inflation. He cannot force CBN not to increase interest rate. The greatest impediment to Nigeria is inorrinate corruption which he is part of.

Bro, you are part and parcel of the corruption. Can you wait 6 months for a Passport and not pay the bribe for "fast service" that produces your passport in a week or two?

Do you take your vehicle to VIO, to queue for an entire day, for all checks rather than pay 5k to have it passed as 'road worthy' so you can be on the road asap with all required documents and compliances?

We all live and breathe corruption. That is why I look at people like you as slightly strange and perhaps self-deceptive.

Westerners are pragmatic. They believe in chasing solutions to problems from a perspective of what is possible and what is not. They work with reality not fantasies.

They like Tinubu because they see he delivers and moves his constituencies and affiliations forward ( be it people, political party, State, region etal) working in an ultra-corrupt environment everyone, including you, play active parts in.

They realize pragmatically that Tinubu is the best available in a system defined entirely by corruption.

They are not like hypocritical Nigerians who deceive themselves and bury their head in the sand, while utilizing corruption daily as part of their life, to then be advocating we find one Saint in a cesspit of sinners.

Assuming you even make someone like Wole Soyinka President, is it not obvious to you such a person will fail horribly because of the inability to pragmatically navigate and get results from the Nigerian system where corruption is pervasive and an inextricable part of everything?

Many, like the West, passionately support Tinubu because they know he is a pragmatically brilliant leader whose success stems from his ability to work with on-ground reality to still deliver positive changes.

How does he solve that after leaving the saddle for about fifteen years? As an ordinary Lagosian? He was the first person that tackled power issue in Nigeria as a governor. He brought Enron to Nigeria and your papa OBJ and pdp used federal might to scuttle just because they did not want him to outshine them. We are still suffering it today.
Try and read things up, if you were unripe at the time of events and and your horizon will be brightened!

I don't know about anyone, as for me, Lagos is the only progressive state in Nigeria. All thanks to the leadership. But that doesn't mean Lagos can't do better.

Buhari will handle security, Osibanjo will handle economy and here's the result we have today

Tinubu was moving around marketing Buhari, they promised heaven and earth saying within 4years Nigeria will have 24/7 uninterrupted power supply but I've never had 1minutes of power supply since this month. Power supply has gone from bad to worst under their nose, insecurity everywhere,Naira tumbled, highest inflation rate in the country, increase in pump price. During PDP 16yrs of governance, there was no time they sold us water as petrol but this administration intentionally sold water to us as petrol and they never felt remorseful, is that fraud?
If Tinubu is as sensible as he claimed, why didn't he share his ideas with Buhari ok how to tackle epileptic power supply, let Buhari makes us of it and let's see if it works then we will know he has something upstair, why must it be to score cheap points for elections? People are wiser than before, I warned some people during 2015 election that these people saying they have what it takes to govern but can't give 1 advise to incumbent administation back then to make things better should not be taken serious as they are just after power

Tinubu is a bad market

Guy, abeg get sense na. Tinubu that Buhari pushed away, as soon as he entered Aso Rock in 2015, can influence Mr.President's thoughts and action how exactly?

I personally have no issues with anyone opposing Tinubu but, for your own sake and for the sake of how you are percieved, try to think and argue intelligently.

Most people know Buhari is conservative and precisely pushed Tinubu away because he percieves BAT as aggressively capitalist, reformational, a fan of decentralized democracies and a big advocate of devolving power away from the centre and towards other federating tiers of Government.

Tinubu is the last person the conservative and centrist-leaning Buhari would listen to, entertain or work with other than to win elections.

The same way Buhari had plans for Nigeria in 2014 before you elected him. This time around I pray that the suffering Nigerians will experience this time around after electing a bad leader will make them to have common sense to recognise that politician are not interested in the welfare of the citizens not to talk of national development.

He pioneered the IPP idea in Nigeria with the Enron project. But unfortunately then states are not empowered to distribute. So yes, he knows what to do and he did it but OBJ as usual killed the idea. That we are back to what he did in 20 yrs ago says alot

Not true. Awolowo did it and did it well in the old western region. He was a politician! This is the first time a well educated and exposed mainstream Yoruba will be leading if he won, so expect phenomenal growth.
