I swear to God, if elected, whoever steals or engages in any corruption-related activities, we will declare war against them and they must be punished. Other countries are advancing, but Nigeria remains retrogressive because of a few corrupt people.

A video of ex-VP Atiku Abubakar swearing in Allah’s name to punish corrupt people has been trending. The reason is not far-fetched: people found it incredible that Atiku, a well-known corrupt public official, would make such a vow. In the desperation of Atiku to become president, there is nothing he will not say to hoodwink people, as if we have no memory of the past. One thing that every Muslim knows is that he who invokes God and makes false vows will undoubtedly incur the wrath of God. There are consequences for such act.

.@aonanuga1956, since you’ve no shame & have discarded every shred of dignity and now make a living dancing naked in the market square, obsessed with attacking @atiku and @PeterObi like a stray dog with no leash, let’s shift the spotlight to where it truly belongs:

Have you submitted your master’s report card yet?

While you’re frothing at the mouth over opposition figures, the world has spoken—and your principal, @officialABAT, is now globally recognised, not for excellence or statesmanship, but for corruption of the highest order.

According to the OCCRP, the finalists for its 2024 Organised Crime and Corruption Award were:

William Ruto (Kenya),

Joko Widodo (Indonesia),

Bola Ahmed Tinubu (Nigeria),

Sheikh Hasina (Bangladesh), and

Gautam Adani (India).

And guess what? Tinubu proudly clinched third place, out of over 55,000 global nominations. Let that sink in—third place in a global corruption contest. A shameful badge you should wear with pride since you're so fond of defending the indefensible.

So, while you’re busy peddling recycled lies about Atiku and Obi, the world has already put your paymaster where he belongs—in the global hall of infamy.

We’re waiting for you and your gang to bring home the trophy. Or perhaps you’ve already wrapped it in the next propaganda sheet you plan to publish?

Putindbutt:
Lol, like a polygamous man vowing to fight against marriage to multiple women. The reason Atiku made Dubai his second home is because he has married a new wife secretly and hid her in Dubai.

Talking about corruption, OBJ would be laughing so hard. If everything works, Atiku should be in same jail room with Nnamdi Kanu for several fraud and scandals. Even his new bedmate, Elrufai said it.

The first civilian governor of Lagos State, Alhaji Lateef Jakande, on Tuesday, said that the cancellation of the Lagos metroline project in 1985 was a major mistake and disservice to many Nigerians.

Jakande spoke in Lagos during the launch of a book which chronicled his life in politics and journalism.

The book, entitled, ‘Jakande: Leadership in Action’ is written by Dr. Bola Olaosebikan, who told the audience at the event that the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was not responsible for the cancellation of the project.

Jakande said, “Reflecting on the metroline project, I think it is a major disservice to many Nigerians. Imagine how many people would have benefitted. It would have made life easier and changed the face of transport in Lagos. Whoever cancelled it or gave the advice towards its cancellation didn’t do right.”

The former governor asked Nigerians not to vote for unserious leaders in the coming polls, saying the elections presented Nigerians with a good opportunity that should not be squandered.

Expressing the hope that Nigeria would soon overcome its developmental challenges, Jakande said hope would be actualised faster if credible people emerged as leaders in the next dispensation.

He said, “This book comes at a very auspicious time in Nigeria’s history as we need leaders who can act. We need leaders who would not compromise the standards of good governance. God has blessed this nation the most in Africa, although we have not reached where we should be; with the right leaders, Nigeria would overcome its challenges.”

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

helinues:
Hahaha, okay so we should keep fried fish with a cat overnight right?

Atiku is a joker. When the power portfolio was given to Atiku, instead of fixing the problem, he complicated it by inviting Mikano a generator company to Nigeria

1993
Established Mikano International Limited

1998
Set up the first assembly line for power generators in Nigeria
Mikano becomes an authorised dealer to sell, repair, service and provide warranty for Perkins UK generator
