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 capitalised, 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.

lol

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

Nothing special and mind blowing about what he said even the commonest man in the society knows this......

If you cannot be fair to others, even if you hate them, tjen perhaps you are not a good person at all.

Everyone knows that Buhari pushed Tinubu away and shut him out to embrace an 'inner crew' he took advice from and relied on exclusively like the deceased Abba Kyari who was former chief of staff to Buhari.

I despair when I read your sort of opinion because it confirms most Nigwrians are just sectionally biased folks only keen to give a dog a bad name justify their ill will towards said Dog.

Truth is that Nigeria would be better if Buhari was willing to work with and listen to the likes of the brilliant Tinubu rather than reject them in favour of the likes of Abba Kyari, Malami, Buni etal who will tell him what he wants to hear that will usually be against the best interest of Nigeria.

What others are innocent of you will proclaim them guilty over just because you have your bias against them.

Reference:
If this is all true then why should anyone back a losing horse since Mr Buhari is likely to 'push him away' from the 2023 race

You see. The truth is that Mr. Tinubu has help foist and sustain such a terrible system that it threatens to eat him up as well.

I still want to see how he will extricate himself from the political tragedy of the past 7 gears while at the same time 'not stepping on toes' as he is apt to remind.

And though I have said in the past that he should distance himself from the aeminiatration to gain some moral traction, I am not sure that gate remains open at this stage when things have a taken a serious turn for the worse.

To be speaking of electricity reforms in the midst of perhaps the worst energy crises in living memory as a leading figure in the ruling party.....hmmm... is provocative.

Mr Tinubu should have distanced himself from this goverment a much longer time ago and chipped in some criticism here and there to prove that his will be different.

Igbofam:
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

1nigeriamyfoot:
Buhari pushed him away but still campaign for him for second term?

Buhari pushed him away but he can't share his advise on national dailies despite the fact that he owns a newspaper company and television station?

Tell us another joke plz

PrinceOfLagos:
This desperation is too much

Tinubu, have you solved power problem in Lagos ?

wirinet:
I disagree with tinubu. Even though he is right that electricity is crucial for economic development, it is not the most important. The most important impediment for national development is manpower. By manpower I mean practical education that provides the necessary knowledge and skills for economic activities and production. Our universities and polythechnics chunning out paper graduates with no practical or employable skills cannot develop a nation. Even if the government generates 1000Gw of electricity, they will only use it to DSTV, YouTube and for play.
Besides generating, transmitting and distributing electricity is very expensive and most Nigerians cannot afford to pay the right price for electricity and hence many people, especially businesses bypass despite electricity still being subsidized by government.

With adequate sound technical education and skill, Nigerians in collaboration with government can find other power sources - Gas, solar, wind, hydro, etc. An innovative government can power gas that is being wasted to our homes and offices for us to use ti generate out own electricity.
There are many solutions to power, we just need innovative graduates and technicians.

Alhaji Tinubu, it's not true.

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

SmartPolician:
Stop arguing.

Even those who serve in your government are not patriotic.

Everyone wants to wreck the country.

Parachoko:
There is no way a state Governor can solve the power situation presently.

Power is on the exclusive list.

Have you forgotten what happened between Lagos State and The FG concerning a power plant built by the Lagos State Government in the early 2000?

We can't say because Buhari is messing up, then we will stop voting

We have to keep on trying till we get it right.

jikins:
States can solve their own power needs if they want to. They don't just have the will to do it. Check out the concurrent legislative list. Power isn't on any exclusive list.

Igbofam:
You just moved the goalpost to something totally not related to what I said

Dsalvo:
You're talking more rubbish trying to defend your original flawed stance and utterances.

If Tinubu does not work for Buhari’s second term then what happens to APC and the notion the Party must retain ruling Status to always be in the position to improve Nigeria? Are you 5 years old to not understand the need for individuals to work for the greater good of the institution?


As far as "sharing" his opinion in national dailies, Tinubu does that regularly. Perhaps you missed it from being too busy reading romance and gossip blogs.

Below is a report from a national daily in 2020. Talk better bro as it is obvious now you're an ignorant mischief-maker plus a sectionally biased and/or ethnocentric critic of BAT.

Perhaps you should "tell us another joke plz".

kaymart:
Na by sepaking on plans?
Wake up..
Consider what Buhari promised during campaign and what he did after election.
Buhari promised to cleanse Nigeria off corruption, feed sch children, provide multiple jobs for the teeming youth population, build refineries, diversity the economy, provide security and was going to crush Bokoharam in maximum of 6months.
Oh! He even condemned foreign medical trip for public office holders.
As a matter of fact and time, he did none of that, infact he did the reverse of most if not all of what he said.
So, forget talk....you still can't be gullible in this day and age.
I remember the way they used to exemplify and dignify Buhari's body language and the so called "man of integrity status". Where's the integrity as at today?

Or do politicians swear oaths to become Devilish immediately after attaining power?
