We should be grateful to IBB for his vision of Abuja. Abuja would have been like Ajaokuta if not for him- SDP’s

We should be interested in what we have learnt from the intersection of IBB political and leadership philosophy in power.

IBB left power 30 years ago, but we are here still discussing about him, this is credit to his legacy.

IBB was a youth when he took over power, and all the wonderful things he achieved, were done while he was a youth, so that breaks the myth that you must be old and tired before you can make sense in Nigerian politics.

We are not just celebrating IBB because of the physical structures he was able to erect or for giving us a brand new federal capital territory, for if he had not done that, Abuja would have been like the Ajaokuta project.

Whatever virtues and vices IBB had while in power, the question is what have we learnt from them?

Whatever he achieved or failed to achieve should not be an excuse for us to have a government worse than the one he ran.

Our duty is to consolidate where he got it right and learn lessons where he got it wrong.
That is one lesson I have learnt as a leader, I will never make the mistakes made by an earlier leader, and I will never spoil whatever they got right.

Let us not dwell on lamentations and cry over spilt milk, any challenge we meet in Nigeria as Nigerians, that is the challenge for the age.

As a leader, whatever challenge I meet, is the challenge I have been sent to address.

Abuja was Murtala's vision not IBB. Cunny man who annulled a free and fair election and dubiously left Abacha behind to take over.

A

Abuja still has no much difference to ajaokuta anyways.

Very boring

Lifeless

Unnecessarily expensive for the average Nigerian.

Zero jobs. The available jobs are mostly MDA's which don't even advertise recruitment because you have to know someone in high places to get employed . Imagine telling a job seeker to bring recommendation letter from a senator or emir before his/her CV can be put into consideration. That's sickening if you ask me.

Same FCT there are places where people still use leaves to cover their unclothedness. Most places even in Abuja city are villages.

So why not go to ajaokuta, be self employed and enjoy a cheaper cost of living.

That's how Lagos would've been if not for the fact that it was once federal capital territory for many years, but today you'll hear some myopic usêlèss nonêntities say that it was Tinubu that developed Lagos. Fóolish talk by fóolish people. The only achievement of that old thief was to incurred billions of debt.

Bleep him, To hell with him self.

Yes. Boss

It could have been another abandoned project.

Orkar's coup made it necessary to speed up work.

So?

THIS PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT TALKER SEF

We should thank IBB for the grand corruption and self enrichment

So where has that gotten Nigeria to?

Rather they kept milking the oil money from the south to develop Abuja. This guy deserves some strokes of the cane abeg.

Very soon Baba Emilokan shakingittis will claim he built Abuja the way he is laying claim to Lagos.

Meanwhile he couldn't build irajigbi his ancestral home.

True!

Yes, IBB is visionary, charismatic, and accommodating. and very smart.

IBB would have ended Boko Haram and Banditry in North if he was president


When he kicked Buhari out of office, without even firing a single bullet in 1985, every justification he gave for the removal was and is still valid

Nigeria would have done far better with IBB's return than Buhari's return

The failure of civilian presidents especially this present irresponsible and clueless Buhari regime has made the likes of Abacha, IBB of the military era look like saints.

The tangible and signature projects they built still outshine whatever the present civilian presidents have done so far. The military built Lagos, and still went to a virgin land in Abuja and turned it into a city.

One wonders if military should not be encouraged to come back

❌❌❌❌


Buhari is the most vision-less human
being known to my humble self ☹️☹️☹️

Ah beg which bus stop we don reach inside dis 9ja vehicle we all dey, I have been trying to identify the bus stop we dey or where we dey head to , IBB tenure still 100% better than this yeye one we have in place now, this adebayo guy is a young man with great visions, even though I haven’t met him but I have seen his footprints in his home town , we need youths with great mind and strategic ideas to come out to take the lead in the governance.kudos to Bar Adebayo for the bold step taken so far.

Story Story, Storyyyyyyy

It’s quite unfortunate that the likes of IBB who was tagged an evil genius is being celebrated today because of the mediocrity of this govt.

If Ibb can be seen as a Saint today, despite all his atrocities & dictatorship; then it literally means Buba is Baphomet itself

If they call your friend thief, you no go ask am ? Read about IBB, Abacha, and all past, their economic policies, then you yourself can now judge, not what people say,
They tag Gadafi as a bad person, but that man turned Libya from one of the poorest countries to one of the richest countries.

Some of you would not know what development means even if hits you on your forehead. Lagos is one of the largest economies in Africa today. In 1999 when Tinubu was sworn in as governor it wasn't so. Do you think this just happened by itself without any conscious effort from anyone or it happened just because Lagos was a former capital? Use your head, don't vote for a guy without any achievements.

Arysexy:

So, Tinubu should use Lagos money to build Iragbiji. You need mental examination.

If your village people are not nonentities as you have called them, then you will be in your village and not in Lagos that was rebuilt by Tinubu

Exactly

IBB started the real movement after one of the coups against his government in Lagos.
Akinola Aguda was used by Arewa to head a committee to recommend that Lagos was no more fit for federal capital.
The man commending IBB here is like commending Aguda who was like in place of Afonja before Alimi.

True, but that doesn't make Abuja his vision.

They haven't explained why Lagos is so filthy despite Tinubu's influence.

APC corn urchins , hope una hear this one
