You are one the realist here unlike the praise singers and hatred choir who always believe one man with no significant achievements in government in his state as governor is the one that will liberate the most corrupted majority of Nigerians.

Daddy, I'm giving him 50 years. I know he won't do shebaing.
They told someone not to take it, but he went and took it anyway, and after taking it and running with it, he now wants them to fund him enjoying what he took by force. How and where is that possible? Worse, they are now openly promoting mutiny and seccession talks and insulting the King. Dey play and dey pray. Manna will fall from heaven

SpatialKing:
Contrary to the populatar opinion

PDP actually made it easy for Tinubu win

EyeCumInPiss:

GOATandYAMtheory:
A national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Tuesday, urged Nigerians who have been accusing President Muhammadu Buhari of being too slow to allow the President at least 100 days of honeymoon.

He said change, which was at the centre of the party’s campaign ahead of the presidential election, would not be achieved with a magic wand.

Tinubu spoke with State House correspondents shortly after meeting behind closed-door with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

“May 29 was when this President was sworn in. It is an international norm, there is an honeymoon period, at least a minimum of 100 days’ honeymoon. And you won’t allow honeymoon at all? You said change is not coming. Change is not by magic. It is driven by the people, the spirit and the character and the planning,” he said.

The former Lagos State governor said the nation had witnessed many problems in the past because policies were made in a hurry without proper planning.

He said it was better for the government to take its time to plan, than to rush into taking actions because of sentiments and emotions.

He added, “It is not fair to jump into those conclusions (that change is late in coming). There must be time to plan, to review and even listen to people.

“There is a separation between a campaign period, articulating your vision, expressing the promises to Nigerians, there is a time to look holistically at what you inherited, analyse it, distill and then take action.

“Even in a 100 metres race, there is a time to say ‘on your mark, set, ready, go.’

“So, you don’t even want a time to be on your mark, set and go? No, you are not being fair.”

The president met members of your party in the House of Representatives that ended in deadlock. What is your position in all these?

On the leadership crisis in the National Assembly, Tinubu said it was only the conclusion of the media that the peace meeting called by Buhari on Monday ended in a deadlock.

He said rather, his position was that there was a political process that needed to develop its own life and be worked upon to stabilise and continue to serve the interest of the populace.

Tinubu said by the time the National Assembly started its lawmaking in earnest, the President needed to step in once in a while as he did in order to let the people to understand the import of the expectations of the public and particularly of the international community on various programmes and institutions.

He said Buhari’s decision to step in to douse the tension was not a wrong step.

The former governor said he decided to visit the President to welcome him from what he described as successful trip to the United States of America and to ensure that the party remained on track.

Bode George, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says Nigerians will regret if they elect former governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu, as president in 2023.

Mr George, a former military governor of Osun State, stated this in an interview with Vanguard Newspapers while reacting to the declaration of interest of Mr Tinubu into the presidential race.

He said he won’t support for the former governor because he is unfit for the position, warning of regrets should Nigerians elect the national leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC) as president.

“I won’t support him (Tinubu),” the PDP chief said. “I am talking as a senior citizen in this country. I have nothing personal, this man does not have what it takes to manage this country. If he does Nigerians will regret it.

“If Nigerians are dumb enough not to see that (incompetence) and they choose that he is the one they want to put forward as president, I wish them the best of luck,” he added.

When asked if he will go on exile should the former governor be elected president, he answered in the affirmative, “because he (Tinubu) will take the country to the gutters.”

The APC chieftain while declaring for the top job earlier in the week said it was his life-long ambition to lead the country he once said he doesn’t believe in.

After his declaration, Nigerians on social media began raising controversial questions about his lineage, origin, source of wealth, age, among others.

lexy2014:
I will because Bode George was the first person tinubu sent emissaries to beg so that he would stop criticising tinubu

raskymonojendor:
Bode George has finally taken a break from trying to divide the SW using De-renaissance and Omo Eko Pataki forum.

Well done sir.

Give him one more year to destroy the country. Judges and legislooters are enjoying the country but the poor are asked to wait.

Bobloco:
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Daniel Bwala, has suggested that the current administration of President Bola Tinubu may end up like his predecessor.

He noted that this was exactly how Nigerians were told to be patient for eight years while the Buhari administration was busy doing very little or nothing at all.

Bwala said that Tinubu has already spent 31.8 percent of his first term in office and has only succeeded in raising the sufferings of Nigerians during this period.

“When people talk about being patient and waiting, you have to look at the time frame the public officer is expected to execute the work,” Bwala, who was the spokesperson of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council for the 2023 elections, said on Channels TV on Monday.

“The President has just been voted into a term of four years. He is eight months into the term which constitutes 31.8 percent of the total time that he has.

“He has less than 70 percent time in government, when is that going to happen? When President Buhari took over in 2015 it was the same language and we patiently followed and he finished the first term and finished the second term.

“When there is a fundamental problem with policy, time is irrelevant, 30 years it will not work. Most of the economists I’ve listened to have faulted the President’s budget with which he was supposed to deliver the agenda flat-out…

“We want to see deliverables. Nigerians are tired of English, Mathematics, Economics, Science, and Technology. We want to see practical things,” he said.

Nobody I repeat nobody can fix Nigeria in 50 years.......

Peter Obi should come and proof me wrong .....

If they take all Nigeria to Canada, and bring all Canada citizens to Nigeria . ....I bet you Canada will become a 3rd world country in less than 5 years .......

Oti gba riba,they do settle baba as usual,no be this country called Nigeria,The more reason no one should sacrifice himself for this country called nigeria.this is the country with the highest level of hypocrisy.traitors and backbiters.
Never trust anyone in Nigeria,very few still have integrity and scruples

hero2000:
My dear, you still don't get it.
You need more than just PVC to remove BAT and his fellows destroying Nigeria.

We used our PVC in 2023. They bought INEC and the courts.

You want to go the same route and pretend it won't land you in the same place?

If you ask me: what we need to add to PVC is protests against APC misrule just as was done to GEJ in 2012. The political elite need to know that 'We the people of Nigeria' won't take nonsense from anybody.

jameshankss:
Anambra State Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, has said he is sure the candidate of Labour Party (LP), Mr Peter Obi, would lose the 2023 presidential election. Soludo said he would not submit to the bullying of Obi’s supporters, who recently descended on him for addressing issues in the state.

The governor made the comments in a lengthy write-up personally authored, with the title, “History Beckons, and I Will Not Be Silent (Part 1).”

Soludo said Obi was inadvertently making the pathway to victory much easier for the presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, and at the same time, toying with the destiny of millions of Ndigbo.

But the chief spokesperson for the Labour Party Presidential Campaign, Yunusa Tanko, accused Soludo of being sponsored by some unknown persons to weaken the base of the party in the South-east.

The former CBN governor had been under intense attack for close to a week for dismissing Obi’s investment in the state as amounting to nothing, during a television interview.

Soludo said in the write-up, “My attention has been drawn to some of the tirades on social media following my frank response during an interview on Channels TV regarding the ‘investments’ Mr. Peter Obi claimed to have made with Anambra State revenues.

“Sadly, several of the comments left the issue of the interview to probe or suggest motives, inferred from my response on ‘investment’ that I am opposed to Peter Obi’s ambition and, therefore, committed a ‘crime’ for which the punishment is internecine abuse and harassment, even to my family.

“Everyone knows that I don’t follow the winds or one to succumb to bullies, or shy away from a good fight especially, when weighty matters of principles and future of the people are involved.”

Soludo said he had urged Obi to return to his former party, the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), to actualise his presidential bid. He added that he had always told the LP candidate to his face that he was not capable of winning the 2023 presidential election, especially, under LP, which had neither a councillor nor a local government chairman.

Soludo said Obi was not just his friend, but also his brother, but despite that, they have their political differences.

He stated, “For full disclosure, let me state that Peter Obi and I are not just friends, we call ourselves ‘brothers’. But we have political differences: he left APGA for PDP after his tenure as governor, while I have remained in APGA since 2013.

“During the last two governorship elections in Anambra in 2017 and 2021, he led the PDP campaigns but APGA won landslide in both elections. By the way, in 2016, he visited and proposed that I defect to PDP and contest the 2017 election against the incumbent Willie Obiano, but I declined.

“After my victory in November 2021, he called to congratulate me, as I did to him in 2010. That is the Anambra way: we fight fiercely during campaigns but share drinks at the next social events. After all, it was the Great Zik of Africa, who taught us that in politics, there are no permanent friends or permanent enemies but only permanent interests.”

Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”

Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.

He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.

Ance4Liverpool:
He should enjoy his remaining 3 years as a president,but by 2027 we will use our pvc against him

slivertongue:
Tinubu will do worse and you will still ask for another year. He is a disaster never seen before

anonimi:
Political elite like gbajue Peter Obi, the lamba master?

You used your PVC to dilute PDP's chance of replacing APC last year if you voted for Obi.

Instead of cluelessly blaming the courts, you and Obi should be apologising for leading us into this shege promax continuity.

NeckingNgulping:
We can't give the drug lord one more year to finish us.

Politics.who would have believe Bode George will be asking the citizens to give Tinubu one more year.
