Bukola Saraki used same style.

He was shuffling the govt house and his Dad’s house in his 8 year tenure and didn’t own a house to his name in the state. They made so much noise about.

Little did the local indigenes know he was buying up ikoyi high rises and Maitama properties.

He became the Senate President without a “house” 😂
You are a criminal and a very big liar.

This is an insult to Kwara people.

Nonsense.

Flashback: How Bola Tinubu spoke highly of Buhari in 2015, named PDP ‘Poverty Development Party

National leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu had during the presidential campaign in 2015, referred to President Muhammadu Buhari as the only solution for the security and economic challenges facing Nigeria.

During a mega presidential rally, the former governor of Lagos State recalled how some powerful nations in the world returned to army generals when they were challenged, saying “Major General Buhari would revive Nigeria’s economy”.

He named the current opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP as the “Poverty Development Party saying they had nothing to offer.

His words at the time were; “Every nation has a period of their own challenges, when America was challenged, they turned to one great man, their ex-military general, General Eisenhower. When the French were challenged, they turned to their general, Charles de Gaulle.

“When Britain was challenged, they turned to their general. Today, Nigeria is economically and physically challenged so we turn to General Muhammadu Buhari. He is the right man for the job. If you talk about military experience, he has it abundantly, he has courage, simplicity, he has it abundantly.

“If you talk about great determination, a combination of vision and ability to perform, honesty and integrity, he has it abundantly.

“I laugh when the incapable government, ‘Poverty Development Party’ PDP were talking. They have nothing again to say, they now want to question the qualifications of General Buhari and look for his certificate”.

Following the manifestos in 2015 which projected the APC presidential candidate as a ‘saviour’, Buhari defeated the then incumbent president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan with Nigerians expecting a total change in security and economy.

Fela should be given a ministerial position in the next cabinet reshuffle. The guy has been consistent in supporting the government policies.
What government policies are these that he supported consistently huh

I believe him.

Some of Tinubu's core team are people who believe in him and sacrificed for him. They were with him during the trenches days. Together, they weathered the storm.

It is not unusual for the likes of Fela Durotoye to work for free. But there are some hacks for hire even here on Nairaland who assume that everyone who speaks in favour for Tinubu or the government has been paid or wants to be paid. This is because they are hungry and assume others are like them. They lie between their teeth to justify their hatred and envy that one does not toe their line of national hatred.

However, Fela Durotoye needs to explain to us why he left the job. Did he ask for money and he was not given? Was there a conflict? Why was his exit not announced?

The other reason I am commenting is that someone suggested above that Fela Durotoye be given a prominent position in the next cabinet reshuffle. In the next six months, the administration would be two years. I think the recruitment of ministers needs to be more thorough. Salaries and emoluments need to be slashed drastically, and no official vehicle needs to be provided, except one. No minister actually needs security or that much security. Then no minister should award contracts or disburse money like the former Minister of Humanitarian Affairs did. The Bureau of Public Procurement should be in charge of anchoring public bidding of contracts and the process needs to be transparent. Ministerial aides need to be drawn from the civil service cadre to avoid conflicts, and if technical experts need to be hired, they must go through a rigorous interview with the civil service. Once the power to bring memos to the FEC to approve is more rigorous, more people would focus on their other day jobs and leave government jobs alone for serious minded individuals who have something to contribute to national development.

Infact, becoming a director or permanent secretary in the civil service and rising to the highest echelon in the military is more rigorous than ministerial recruitment. Right now, people see ministerial jobs as a place to be politically visible, rather than an area for intense work. That has to change.

President Tinubu, the country is littered with talents, home and abroad. You captured Ali Pate and Tunji Alausa. There are more of them. We need core professionals who can help with policy direction. We also need to

You need to rejig the team. We are confident you'd win the 2027 elections because the opposition parties, as are, do not have their acts together to compete in any national or state election.

Time is going.
Is this your own style of wailing ebiNpawa, for palliative bread eligibility? grin

How can you expect someone who has been looting Lagosians silly for a quarter century plus and used the war chest to buy his way into Aso Rock to do any of the things you are wailing about as recommendations?

Think am well o. Think am well well.

Two things:

(1) Only say things you can substantiate. You said someone bought his way to Aso Rock. Who sold Aso Rock to him? How much did he use to buy his way there and who collected the money? Can you supply bank accounts, evidences of payment and evidence of looting of Lagos? I want to learn.

(2) Anytime we praise the government, you accuse me of being paid. Anytime I criticize the government, you say I am wailing. Let me reinstate it to you and those who think like you. I am not asking for any palliatives or bread. I don't need government patronage. If you continue to assume so, that is not my problem.

According to your post, the criteria for getting government positions is bu supporting any policy of the government in power no matter how useless it might be, and not by competence. No wonder Nigeria is the way it is

Not like I believed him neither do I doubt him, I stay in the middle but you see that your second paragraph, that will be a tall order for the average Nigerian politicians, it's just like hunting for pigs on the moon.

Most Nigeria politicians have nothing left in them to offer and many of them only see politics as a money making ventures, until, there's a massive sensitization across all the strata of the society we will keep moving in fruitless cycle.
The politicians we have today are our nemesis.
The qualities they portray would have landed them in juvenile prisons or labeled them societal misfits in other climes except ours.

Some had exhibited childhood behavioral disorders such as conduct or dysregulated mood disruptive behaviors which went unchecked, by parents, teachers, clergymen, doctors and law enforcement personals.

They were truants, bully, cultists and antisocial as adolescents which was also unchecked, parents, lecturers, VCs, clergymen, doctors and law enforcement personals.

Some have been convicted or various criminal offenses yet have evaded consequences.

You would at least wish that people who hold these type of profiles should never get close to the corridors of power, but what we have today is the likes of Asari and Oluomo parading the villa.

So we all share in the blame for the monsters we’ve made and also have a role to play in saving Nigeria. All misfits must be stopped as and of when necessary till they change.

Sowore was right.

You silently served under Tilumbu's government. Only your conscience knows why you did that secretly.

Only you know what your motives was that you were serving in Government and you didn't inform the general public and even your followers.

You waited till Sowore told Nigerians that most of you who contested the 2023 Presidential elections were doing the bidding of Tilumbu that was when you decided to open up publicly.

Keep hiding. Only you and Tilumbu knows what you're hiding.

That's why they were silent when he left, they know he would tell his story if they talked about. Thank you Mr. Durotoye, for selfless service to fatherland.

Much unlike those who kill, maim, destroy, rig and kidnap just to have an opportunity with public treasury.

[quote author=zoomzoom post=132940435][/quote]Lets say he was sacked.. its definitely not likely to be for incompetence but for conflict of interest in the area of clash of vision. I suspect that the Vision he has could not fit into the usual lackluster-ness of the "usual" aides in government.

But if you think of it critically, I suspect he must have resigned having seen "things" that the mouth cannot say for now.

I disagree, you can't change a system from the outside. When given the opportunity as a "saint" to serve your fatherland, take it, do things differently and let it be said you were completely different after your service period lapses.
