Nigeria needs leaders who think before talking – APC knocks Peter Obi over ports comment

‎The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, on Tuesday said Nigeria needs leaders who think before they speak and not those who confuse populist soundbites for policy discourse.
‎
‎Reacting to Peter Obi’s remark on the need to diversify port development in Nigeria, the party said lack of constructive intellectual engagement is the former Labour Party presidential candidate’s major weakness.
‎
‎In a statement signed by its spokesman, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, the Lagos APC said President Bola Tinubu’s administration does not specialize in propaganda unlike the opposition.

“Although it is widely acknowledged that constructive intellectual engagement remains the major weak point of Mr. Peter Obi, he will do well to carry out in-depth research into any issue he wishes to put in the public domain.
‎
‎”This will help him avoid the legacy of generational embarrassment that comes from shallow, ill-informed commentary dressed up as economic analysis.
‎
‎”Nigeria deserves leaders who think before they speak, not those who confuse populist soundbites for policy discourse,” the statement said.
‎
‎Oladejo added that the Renewed Hope Agenda is a national agenda and not a regional favour.
‎
‎”From the Bonny Deep Sea Port in Rivers, to the Ibom Port in Akwa Ibom, to the ongoing dredging and rehabilitation of Warri and Calabar Ports – this administration’s commitment is holistic, inclusive, and nationwide.
‎
‎”Those crying foul over the Lagos Port investment should first pick up a basic economic policy manual before embarrassing themselves further. Governance is driven by strategy, not sentiment.”

The statement stressed that Tinubu and the APC are determined to build a Nigeria that works.

And the APC has not proven to be the leaders or leadership Nigeria needs with all the ongoing policy somersaults, trial and error model of government, giving appointment and cancelling same, duplicity of govt agencies with same functions etc.

He lacks constructive intellectual engagement

A town h@l is different from B@l@blu bul@b@

I’m still wondering how a country of over 200 million people got scammed😂
🚶‍♂️

The Lagos APC spokesman, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, is another lûnátic with verbal diarrhea, roaming aimlessly. He has taken over the job of attacking Peter Obi from Reno Omokri, who is currently on the run after being exposed as a fraud by Mike Arnold.

Like tasting the mic instead of testing it

Lol...APC always acts like they know what they are saying but look at their performance index, a bunch of underperforming individuals who can't take simple criticism...smh

Peter obi should just stop chasing headlines......

Development of lagos ports is not regional bias, it is economy sense...

That is where most nigeria's import and export traffic happens..

SUBSIDY IS GONE FOREVER.
NAIRA MUST STABILIZE AT N500 : $1.
PETROL AT N500 PER LITER.
CEMENT AT N500 PER BAG.
BOKOHARAM MUST DISAPPEAR INTO TIN AIR.
THE SULTAN MUST MARRY MADAM HAMAS TURNED APOSTLE.

Subsidy is gone- is that thinking before yapping

Does tinubu think before before talking

Your president who didn’t think things through before announcing the removal of subsidy on his inauguration day🙄

APC should sit this one out plssssssss

From this statement APC are actually the ones who talk without thinking ….but seriously how did Nigeria get here with these circus of clowns in charge of a country that could have become giant of Africa if it was well managed?…smh

Mt kinsman, Papa OSELOKA, ALAGULU OF AGULU LAND,AGBOTIKUYO 1 of Nija is a TRADER not a LEADER

A party in power still behaving like they are the opposition.

Useless party.

Don't mind them , hypocrites. What about the famous employing 500,000 youths as Army and giving agbado and cassava to eat, abi na the baba blublubou crooner we go talk, abegi kettle calling pot....

Obi writes for mobs' validation. Sometimes he deletes his posts. Obi is like gossipmill kind of politician

And APC should think before they parrot, at least they are the one in power and many unfulfilled promises lying dead but none has been executed, Obi is billion times better than them because after talking he'll tell them to go and verify and he talks with sense and reason.

APC= PARTY OF LIARS.

Says by a political party whose principal just opened mouth to say anything just to grab power at all cost

This man go soon collect naturally.

How many times has the other port infrastructures being worked upon to reduce the traffic on lagos port. ??

..a party of fraudulent anarchists & carreer kingpins..

..a thougthful party will not send the expression into economic, politicsl & social quagmire since 2015...

..a party of liars, decietful creatures & propagandists..

..wonders shall never end in Nigeria courtesy of the use":les demonic party apcish..

just like his supporters…..you can hardly differentiate them. This is what happens when a man like obi is always desperate to seek cheap attention just to revive his dying popularity, they jump on every news just to criticise every govt policy without thinking…..talk first and think later and he end up looking stupid just like in this case

Why be say everything Peter Obi

APC as the party go comment

Presidential spokesman go comment

Wike go comment

Senate go comment


But if someone says the same thing, I wouldn't hear a single comment from anyone.

Like why are they making the hate so obviously obvious.

This politics is really a dirty game, and if the government had their way, them fit kee Peter Obi.

Although say I no be him fan, but the hate is coming uncominng

Irrelevant submission from APC Lagos state. They are as myopic as their master.

Una don meet Una match Abi? Bitter obi is always in the news talking down against the interest of Lagos and you expect them to keep shut? The good news is that the Yorubas are wiser now, the mistake of 2023 will be corrected in 2027. Let him continue scoring own goal just as he a been playing ethnic politics with the recent demolitions in Lagos, we are keeping receipts

What is the problem with his response? Obi talked what he didn't know and he got response, so any problems? . Newton law is very clear: For every action their must be a reaction which is equal and opposite to the action taken

Once their illegal source of daily bread is threatened,they start wailing!
How can a country as large as Nigeria have only one functioning Port situated in one state?
The message is simple!
Decentralize the ports!

And so with the policy somersaults and the recent pardon list does it seem like the Tinubu govt think things through before they act

is it not these same govt that removed subsidy and proposed sharing Rice as cushion effects for the masses

I thought ‎the spokesman, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, the Lagos APC will show a link or pictures of ‎”From the Bonny Deep Sea Port in Rivers, to the Ibom Port in Akwa Ibom, to the ongoing dredging and rehabilitation of Warri and Calabar Ports – this administration’s commitment is holistic, inclusive, and nationwide". to counter what Peter Obi said but he still did what he claims Peter did (No research, no visible evidence of work in progress or work done)

Oga sure use links or pictures as counter proof on ”From the Bonny Deep Sea Port in Rivers, to the Ibom Port in Akwa Ibom, to the ongoing dredging and rehabilitation of Warri and Calabar Ports – this administration’s commitment is holistic, inclusive, and nationwide. that's how you can put to shame your so called "non-constructive intellectual engagement AND non in-depth research remarks" towards Peter Obi BUT NO, it's all propaganda, propaganda, propaganda...attack, attack, attack when attention is brought to a matter of concern.

This APC eh

How did someone who came THIRD be giving PEOPLE who came FIRST so much discomfort in their job especially towards doing such job RIGHT.

If you know & claim you are doing or done your job RIGHT, then SHOW IT & let the country SEE & FEEL IT. Not cho cho cho cho propaganda.

It's only Wike that is doing what these APCs are meant to be doing in their administration...SHOW WORKINGs/WORKDONE
