What a shameless sychophant. You went from calling Tinubu a drug dealer to calling him the best president ever. Atiku really dodged a bullet with you |

When you see arranged interview you will know. How could they not have asked him about all the things he had said about Tinubu in the past? |

My disappointment with Waziri is that, on some of the things we said we were going to do, which Asiwaju is already doing, he now said to me that Tinubu should not have removed it the way he did. But I said there is no way to do it because Nigeria could not afford this thing because we were borrowing to sustain it and it was affecting our economy. And what were Nigerians using the subsidized Naira to do? $200m importing human hair. $75m importing French champagne. 25m pounds sterling importing Scotch whiskey. We were not using the money to transfer technology, maybe like buying books, getting heavy equipment and all that. The other reason is historical in nature. Nigeria, as it is presently constituted, is not what we agreed with the British. It was forced on us by General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, after the coup staged by mostly Igbo officers, which wiped out the best of our post-independent leaders. For the first six years of our existence as an independent nation, Nigeria had regions with full powers of resource control and who were free to do as they pleased, except to secede. For example, two of the three regions (the West and East) had diplomatic relations with Israel, while the North rejected it. There was economic competition, which spurred growth. At that time, the South-West was so advanced that the Saudi Royal Family used to have their medicals at the University College Hospital, Ibadan. Western Nigeria had universal free basic education before many European countries and was the pacesetter for progressive policies in Nigeria. [b]The immediate post-independence Nigeria was not a British construct. Our leaders sat down and agreed to form a loose union. We would have even got our independence before Ghana, but the North was not ready, and there were quarrels between Chief Obafemi Awolowo and Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe. Chief Obafemi Awolowo mooted the idea of a secession clause in 1954 during the Lagos Constitutional Conference, but Nnamdi Azikiwe rejected it, galvanising a majority of the conference attendees to kill the idea. After this was rejected, Chief Awolowo again wrote to the then Governor General of Nigeria, who rejected the clause on the grounds that the majority, led by Nnamdi Azikiwe, did not support it. Because of Nnamdi Azikiwe, section 86 was inserted into our constitution with the proviso that if any region should secede, it would be an act of treason. With the coup of January 15, 1966, in which several of our best leaders were killed, there were initial nationwide celebrations until the dust had settled and the rest of the nation realised that the Igbo coup plotters did not kill leaders from the Eastern Region. And when Ironsi replaced the elected Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa-Balewa, instead of installing the next ranking member of parliament from the ruling Northern Peoples Congress (Zanna Bukar Dipcharima), protests broke out. And then, rather unwisely, Mr. Ironsi promulgated Decree Number 34 on May 24, 1966, which effectively ended regionalism, took control of all resources, including oil resources, and domiciled them in his military government. That decree ignited the counter-coup of July 29, 1966, during which Ironsi was killed and replaced with Lt. Colonel Yakubu Gowon. Over the years, there have been relentless calls for restructuring, a return to something close to what we had pre-1966.[/b] So my support for President Bola Tinubu today is because he is the first Nigerian President to try to bring Nigeria to that utopian state we were before the January 15, 1966 coup. One of his cardinal programmes was the promise to reform Nigeria by devolving power to the lower levels of government. With the judgment of the Supreme Court on Thursday, July 11, 2024, that is coming to fruition. And by the time the Tax Reform Billsare passed into law, Nigeria will begin to look more like the idyllic pre-January 15, 1966 paradise before we were cast out of the Garden of Eden. This leads me to see President Tinubu as our own George Washington, the father of modern Nigeria. This is beginning to look like the Nigeria we agreed with the British to have as a country. irst time in Nigeria, the price of petrol went down. It always goes up but this time it went down and there was no scarcity too. I told him that he is doing very well, at that time, Nigeria has just broken a record with our all share index of our stock exchange. We had two records last year. The first one was in February last year when we passed the 100,000 share index for the first time. In August, we got to about 108,000 all share index. In February, we were the most profitable stock exchange in the whole world. And by August, we had slid back and became the second most profitable stock exchange in Africa. Zimbabwe is the first and Nigeria is the second So, what I told the president was that, see, you need to sing your praises more often. You are not singing your praises enough because a lot of positive things are happening. And because you are not blowing your trumpet, your enemies are blowing their trumpets. I gave him more examples to say that you have been in the office for about 15 months and there has not been one incident where the Abuja-Kaduna rail line has been bombed. People now drive from Abuja to Kaduna and are not abducted. I also told him that we have gone up to almost two years whereby we have not had a single major Boko Haram activity. These are major improvements but if you are not talking about them, people won’t know. I told Mr. President that before he became President, there were 42 police stations in the South-East, which were not working. They had been destroyed and the police officers had run away. As I speak to you, all of those stations have now been rebuilt and occupied. I said in the eight years of former President (Muhammadu) Buhari, not one bandit leader was killed. In 15 months, that you have been president, Boderi has been killed, Sani Dangote has been killed, Ali Kachala has been killed, but you are not telling Nigerians and if you don’t tell Nigerians and Peter Obi and other critics begin to tell them all sort of things, they are going to believe. So, you have got to find a way to blow your own trumpet. One of the reasons why people come to Nigeria is mostly for religious purposes and, in Nigeria, two people were the biggest drawer for tourism – TB Joshua who is now late and the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG). So, what I would recommend for the government to do is to work with the RCCG, Synagogue Church of all Nations, Living Faith Church (Winners’ Chapel) and Christ Embassy to offer packages so that anybody coming from any part of the world can just get these packages and picked up from the Airport with security and then taken to Holy Ghost ground. That is going to be the number one source. Also, a lot of people are not aware that UNCTAD(United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) has said that Lagos is now becoming the top global hot spot for health tourism. So, we need to help the Lagos State government. So when I heard somebody like Nasir El-rufai complaining that the FG is being very partial to Lagos and the Yorubas, I had to break that down. For instance, in the military, there are twenty heads of security organisations and only five of them are being headed by Yorubas. And out of those five, you cannot really say one of them is Yoruba because her husband is from Plateau State. So, if the South West has five and the North West has seven, who is dominating? |

Look at the low ball questions they are asking this man. He said Tinubu is a drug dealer. Does he still hold that opinion?? I'm so pissed. |

I don’t like APC and I’m not a fan of Tinubu as a person, but it is difficult to fault Reno on this. Flawed as he is, Tinubu is starting to show why people trusted him over the years. It will take either bitterness or ignorance at this point to say he is not working. |
