Is this a sign of the failure of APC’s Otogẹ governor to do anything better in six years than PDP’s 16 years in office?

Former Senate President Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki hosted a large gathering of guests from all walks of life for iftar at his home in Abuja.

Dr. Saraki is unanimously acknowledged by Nigerians as the best President of the Nigeria Senate and the most impactful presiding officer of Nigerian legislature.
,for praising a Nigerian politician, you are a fool

Polithiefcians always banking and riding on religion in Nigeria. Saraki is still 100 times better than Akpabio, it's not about anything. It is class. Akpabio look like a gutter man.


P.S: To Wike and his supporters, your disgrace is imminent. I even heard his house is on fire for Rivers State🤣🤣🤣

All this desperate positioning for 2027 will only appeal to fools. And OP you are an idiot. What gives you the impression that Nigerians believe saraki is the best senate president Nigeria has ever had?
Someone that had to sleep in his car at the national assembly grounds and scale the fence early in the morning to the chambers of the senate in desperate pursuit for power is not someone any right thinking Nigerian should consider for the presidency.
If you don't see that Saraki is better than Akpabio then you are a big fool.

If you gangan are not a thief, tell us which of your favourite politicians is not a thief and why Saraki has not been successfully prosecuted of your SGBN allegations by Buhari and Tinubu after 2019?

By the way, how is this an appropriate answer to the question asked in the comment you replied?

Are you a failure naturally and generally, or this is just because you are defending the indefensible failures of AbdulRahaman and APC in the past six years of APC huh

Joining APC Makes the Brain Stop Working’ and 4 More Daniel Bwala Anti-Tinubu Remarks

There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy: hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny. – Frederick William Robertson

Daniel Bwala, a staunch critic of President Tinubu, his administration and the All Progressives Congress (APC), has been seen frolicking with the President in recent days, which has infuriated the public.

For his past statements against the APC, Bwala, who was a spokesperson for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential campaign council during the 2023 elections, has now drawn backlash.

He was an APC member until he defected to the PDP in 2022. He would later cite the ruling party’s Muslim-Muslim presidential ticket as the reason for his exit.

While announcing his decision on X on July 10, 2022, Bwala wrote: “Tonight I officially resigned my membership of @OfficialAPCNg on principles and conviction that I hold so dear. At this time of our national existence, our efforts and energy should gravitate towards uniting our people.”

There are now speculations that he may return to the APC. He held a meeting with President Tinubu on Wednesday “to show appreciation and support for the bold decisions he is taking to deal with the crisis confronting [the] country”, and he revealed that he would support Tinubu without apologies, even if it meant going back to the APC.

Amid ongoing controversies surrounding Bwala’s recent interactions with the President, FIJ revisits five times in the past when he criticised the APC-led administration.

‘EVEN IF YOU GIVE TINUBU 30 YEARS, NOTHING WILL WORK‘

On December 25, 2023, Bwala expressed scepticism about President Tinubu’s ability to deliver within his four-year term. He argued that waiting for significant changes under Tinubu’s administration might not be feasible.

Bwala said, “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. 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.”

‘TINUBU’S CABINET MEMBERS WON’T PERFORM MORE THAN 15%‘

In August 2023, Bwala said that the cabinet members appointed by Tinubu would not perform beyond 15 percent because the President seemed more focused on politics than governance.

“I feel that when it comes to the number of ministers, he (Tinubu) was more particular about politics than governance. The number of governors in the cabinet and the portfolios assigned to some individuals were purely political. I don’t have an expectation of a performance that is going to be beyond 15 percent, looking at the cabinet members,” he said.

‘TINUBU IS PRESIDENT-SELECT, NOT PRESIDENT-ELECT

In May 2023, Bwala said Tinubu was the ‘president-select’, and not the ‘president-elect’. He said Tinubu was selected by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as their preferred candidate.

His words: “Now we are in court to say that it was a rigged process. As long as there is no final determination of the matter, we have every right under law, equity and justice to hold the opinion that we express that he is a president-select and not a president-elect.”

‘THE PDP CLEARLY WON THE ELECTION BUT APC RIGGED IT‘

Following the 2023 presidential polls, Bwala said his party won the election and alleged that the APC rigged it to emerge as the winner.

Bwala, who disclosed this in an interview with Arise TV in March 2023, said, “We clearly won. In fact, if these results were allowed to be read from the result sheet, we won with over 1 million vote. Nigerian people voted PDP as the winner of this election, but history and posterity is the one that will judge.”

‘JOINING APC MAKES THE HUMAN BRAIN STOP WORKING’

Bwala made a post on X in November 2022: “The human brain is unique and miraculous. It works and functions optically 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, until you join APC, then it stops working.”

Since his post resurfaced on Thursday amid his unabashed declaration of support for the APC, Bwala’s cognitive abilities have been questioned by Nigerians.

An X user with the handle @chymaker wrote, “His brain stopped working.”

Another X user @Morris_Monye, wrote, “There’s something wrong with this man’s brain.”

“Your brain didn’t take that long to stop working. Either you forgot to go for an annual checkup or your network is not as strong as you think. Whatever the case is, learn to clean your mouth,” wrote @Gary_Mazi

Non. I haven't supported any. As long as I've haven't seen a politician campaigning on
Passing and implementing a law that states that," 65% of our national , state and local governments budgets should be spent on/in the local economy"
The resultant effect of such is that there will over flow of money looking for where to land Because if you want to procure kitchen utensils or generators, you have to look for a local manufacturer to buy from as stated on the law. I don't want to explain further what it would do to the Nigerian economy.

Campaign on strengthen and independence of our institutions

Campaigning that as a public office holder, you and/ or your dependants can't fly abroad for basic education or any form of health care

Campaign on the fact that china is the enemy, america is the enemy.

Still then, I just hear, I go build roads, I go build school.


Even soludo with all his trying hasn't done anything sustainable. Once he steps down, everything might flush away because he hasn't install any real time generational policies of wealth.

He he hasn't inculcate or inspired his people with the type of leadership of lee Kwan yew, or chairman mao, or xi ping or Washington

Ahmed Lawan's senate was by far better and more impactful than Saraki led 8th assembly. It was Ahmed Lawan's 9th Assembly that passed electorate bill in 2022 and Petroleum Industry bill into law. Can you tell me a landmark bill that wass passed by Saraki apart from rejecting president's nominees.

Only if they knew....that guy is one of the major under dealers we have in Nigerian politics......his self interest comes first before anything.....many don't even know how the system operates and would be criticising one politician against another when they are all actually Siamese twins.
