And you think INEC will count your votes?

Was it your votes that brought him into power in the first place?

Tinubu and Goodluck Jonathan are very different people.

E
Oh you plan to steal the mandate again? So if you succeed next time we wish he remain in power forever.

Please you people should stop ethnicizing Tinubu's government. It's not all Yoruba sons and daughters supporting Tinubu's ambition. I am a Yoruba, I criticize his government when I need to and hail when he do well. No doubt the bad he has done overwhelmed the good so far.
Instead call out his party or his supporters. That is, Tinubu's supporters or APC's supporters.

Thank you.

If you are christian and you believe the gimmicks and propaganda of these yoruba muslims, you are on your own o.
Please you guys should stop this division. There are millions of Christians and muslims that do not support Tinubu and they will till tomorrow not support his ambition. This profiling need to stop please.
Better to say, it's only his supporters and APC that will believe him than profiling along religion and tribal.

Thank you.

Agbadorians never sleep! Flooding every comment section with the same praises they gave Buhari for 8 years before backstabbing him and telling us he destroyed the economy.
You got it. Now, they are the same people abusing him and saying he did poorly and handed over dead economy to Tinubu and Tinubu even echo the same thing.

Pls Mr President with all due respect apologize to Nigerian first for protesting comfortable without harassment in 2012 over subsidy removal ,before telling us why u made the same actions after 11 years.

Dogalmighty17:
US subsidizes petrol. Last year, exxon mobil and other oil giants got 11 billion dollars in tax write offs. States like Alaska, outside subsidizing fuel, also gives its citizens welfare checks from oil sales.

I can understand the need for the removal of subsidy in Nigeria. When politicians have looted everywhere, funds for subsidy payments became endangered. Tinubu cut it off. Yet nothing got down about the Nigerian budget been padded by over 500 billion. Nothing has been done to cut down the cost if governance.

Nigeria can't subsidize fuel for her people but the savings from subsidy removal gets looted again by the elite in power.
I have been asking their supporters where is the whereabout the ₦20 trillion they claimed they saved from subsidy.
A government that claimed saving ₦20 trillion but still borrowing like kilode. God will save us from enemies within and without.

Nigeria will be great with only truthful people.

There’s a thin line between confidence and arrogance.
God bless you. It's purely arrogance that made him remove the fuel subsidy and not confidence. If he has that confidence, he should have frontally confront the cabal milking the country through fuel subsidy than subjecting the masses to wanton poverty and lowering their purchasing power. A purely lilly liver president.

But Nigeria will not go bankrupt when Tinubu buys a new armored Cadillac Escalade SUV for himself, discarding the Mercedes Benz Maybach S-Class that Buhari used. Nigeria will not go bankrupt when he buys a new aircraft, a new yacht, and engages in frivolous foreign trips around the world, including medical tourism to the UK and France, while failing to build a world-class hospital in Lagos State.

Nigeria will not go bankrupt when he himself and those around him are engaging in wanton embezzlement of our commonwealth.

Thunder 🔥 Tinubu
I totally agreed with you on the above. In addition it is only what more than 200 millions Nigerians will lead us to bankruptcy. The act of budget padding with trillions of naira, and government establishments proposing buying computers and vehicles every year as they are consumables like fuel at highly inflated prices every year will not lead us to bankruptcy, only the subsidy payment that even witnessed a lot scam the same people that removed subsidy will lead Nigeria into bankruptcy. God will sure deliver us from the hand of our oppressors called leaders.

Re: I Removed Fuel Subsidy To Prevent Nigeria Becoming Bankrupt — Tinubu by MakindeHassan: 1:43pm On Jan 05, 2025
Yes but executed wrongly. It should have been taken out in phases to minimize the shock. Also if you analyze our economy carefully you will discover we have lost more in than we spent on subsidy since it’s removal.

The shock that followed led to inflation that eradicated purchasing power of citizens and many companies closed down due to a hostile business environment. Has your team measured these other loses or you are just measuring the money saved from subsidy?

Re: I Removed Fuel Subsidy To Prevent Nigeria Becoming Bankrupt — Tinubu by budaatum:
So, you all admit Jonathan lacked the balls to remove fuel subsidy, and caved in to Tinubu's protests? I'm glad we are on the same page.

If you had all voted for my Peter Obi, things might have been better, or worse to be honest, but you'd at least not be contending with Mr Bullion Van, which in my own opinion was enough not to elect him. But here we are with President Agbado, and I personally appreciate the fuel and currency subsidy removals, and the hardship too in fact, as its likely to make you consider your pvc and voting to be more precious and important than most otherwise thought it was.

Please, if you like him as little as I do, vote for Peter Obi or anyone (but perhaps not Atiku please) at the next election.

And before anyone attempts to try to tell me Tinubu was not elected, please read this first!

Murketeer:
Did he also do well in protesting its removal in 2012?
lexy2014:
we can all see how he is doing well. did he remove subsidy so that nigeria wont go bankrupt or because he wanted to collect world bank loan?

He has done well for borrowing recklessly despite removing subsidies?Are you okay?
I mean, are you alright huh

The same tinubu that kicked against removing it.

You kept your brain somewhere? The same Tinubu sabotaged Jonathan's effort to remove the subsidy REASONABLY. Ode oshi

In 2012, GEJ removed petrol subsidy. Guess who sponsored Occupy Nigeria to oppose subsidy removal?

When Jonathan removed the subsidy it was you and your entire villagers including Tinubu that protested against it. You Yorubas are truly the mole we have in this country.

so Jonathan who wanted to remove it the other time don't know what he is doing right? Thunder wey go scatter APC supporters still dey smoke weed

Cluelessly naive Pandora Bitter Obi laboured for T-Pain’s ebilokan election, to continue APC’s shege that was scamdemically packaged as change nine years ago.

Know that and know peace.

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.

Same subsidy he organised Nigerians to help him fight against, you mean.

Basically, he used you. He knew you'd all fight against fuel subsidy, so he marched in front and led you to fight knowing that will make him a man of your people, but now he's in power he is doing what should be done.

Hopefully, you have learnt not to trust your politicians, and make you scrutinise them much more.

Oga, do you know me anywhere? I wasn't even in Lagos then and didn't partake in any protests or whatever.

I was educated enough to know that they're all fighting for their pocket so please stop tagging as if you saw on the protest ground.
