Tell your Governor to use the allocation money very well!

Tinubu has done well to distribute the money accordingly.

Governors have NEVER seen this much money in the History of Nigeria…….. FACT!
That “much money” is worth the same or less than its value 10 years ago so it does the same thing much less money did 10 years ago

So Nigerians ended up being forced into poverty for nothing. No gain. Fake reforms

Is it not the same governors that he is courting to join APC and then after joining and standing on his mandate, all their sins are forgiven.
If the president really wanted to be honest why did he increase their allocation without establishing accountability and transparent systems before doling out such money to state governments who hitherto have proven to be corrupt in spending public funds

Reason I continue shouting out the name of Dapo Abiodun in Ogun State. Dapo is a fraud and bloody thief. The worst governor in Ogun State since that state has been created

Only obidents think they should be paid subsidy directly to their accounts. Many of them don't know what subsidy means. Even in 2026
Why can't you face the issues raised than wasting your precious time bringing obident to the the matter. Some of you you're parents wasted money sending you to school. Does it mean you cannot live your life a day without mentioning Peter obi and obedient movement.

We were promised heaven and earth.
We were told that subsidies were the reason Nigeria’s economy was not growing and why there were no developmental projects or good hospitals.
Since the subsidy was removed, the economy has nosedived, there are still no developmental projects, and hospitals are still bad.
Tinubu, where is the money saved from subsidy removal?
You should be smarter than Social Media gaulible audiences Politics,na!
Since you have been on the Federal Government - where Is Your State,have you ever asked your Own State government - what they do with the Federal Allocations - they get every quarter?
Tell the Nairaland Forum- who your Governor is and let us get something there?
For you Pretend that Only Tinubu Govt-is getting allocation,for is it not 3- Tier Govt-in a Federation and Can Tinubu Control the State Funds, without people like you saying - Political Interference!!.
Indeed - hates and bigotry kills and Talk Is Cheap Indeed.

It's not only subsidy that's killing Nigeria, unnecessary and wasteful spending is also killing nigeria.
Of what use is the coastal road that runs into trillions of naira? This is not a necessity to the country right now, we have enough bad roads, add high quality to them and maintain them.
But no! They're looking for a way to embezzle public funds.
Even the ones they manage to repair, they deliberately make sure it's of very low quality so that they can embezzle a huge chunk of the inflated funds allocated to it, in a bid to keep allocating money to the road every year.
Just take a visit to our sister country, cotonu here and see the very high quality of their roads.
Is coastal road our pressing issue?

Something has changed big time sir.

Tinubu and APC have more money to bribe politicians and buy votes for their eternal grabbing of power.

What Obasanjo failed to get through Ghana must go bags bribes to NASS members in 2007, Tinubu is set to get it and become the Paul Biya of Nigeria.

What is the point of focusing on roads when we don’t have adequate electricity and water, while we are one of the countries with the highest number of children out of school and extreme poverty paupers huh

The states are not properly utilising the funds they are getting. Rivers State is an example, but we will fix that problem in 2027.
Will you fix the problem in the same way that 200 million people fixed problems of Nigeria in 2015- by jumping from PDP frying pan into APC fire of extreme poverty shege that was fraudulently sold as better change huh

The money is being delivered to Bourdillon in bullion vans to bribe politicians and buy votes for his perpetual power grab.

If his TAX monster plan has kept 20 million Lagosians in bondage for the past 27 years then it will be used for 200 million Nigerians too.


NaijaRoyalty:
…Says Buhari doesn’t have my kind of money

However, Buhari doesn’t have the kind of money I can steal neither does he have the money I can collect. He doesn’t even have the money for Lagos votes. So, whatever I promise, it’s for real and is coming from my pocket. It’s not until I go to Alausa before I get money to give you.”

Addressing APC supporters on the need to deliver votes, Tinubu said handsome cash rewards await those who can deliver votes for the party.

He said he would not make mistakes of the past where people would collect money in advance and not deliver on election day.

Tinubu added, “Those of you that say you come to Bourdillon for mobilisation, it is mobilisation that we are doing here or don’t you understand? Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, our members, how we used to do.

Resigned in 2018 because the NYSC certificate she submitted was forged
Today she's on Channels
What does the law say about forgery?
She already won the case. The whole furore was to get her out which she honorably did to allow for proper investigation.

It's even very unprecedented in Nigeria that a public servant will resign despite any corrupt allegation.
Re: Every Minister Knew Fuel Subsidy Was Killing Nigeria — Kemi Adeosun by Bluntemperor: 5:09am On Jan 03
God bless you Kemi Adeosun👏👍
For your Spartan Leadership qualities during your Minister works.
For you lay a very good example for the Youths to follow - which was lacking in Buhari's govt!
•How many have resigned in such positions and No wander Buhari -govt became a Lame -Duck throughout the 8- yrs, that Most of the Govt Officials have Corruption Luggages and baggages 🛅 🧳 and today the present -government is overwhelmed by that govt inertias - as far as Corruption and maladministration -is concerned!
•For example - from Hajia Humanitarian - Poverty -Disaster Woman- Billions Money Stolen,
- to NNPC and its Subsidiaries- endless -Refineries Repairs- that never worked,
-to Idris retirement,
to Air Nigeria - Aviation Minister,
to Malami allegedly humongous money,is endless story on how Nigerian leaders have fleeze the Nation.

Nigerians think their problem is entirely Tinubu but rarely hold their state govenors accountable..heck, not sure of us even know our state governors. Those guys are crooks
The dumbest people in the world are those who think that private citizens can hold protected political office holders accountable. It doesn't happen anywhere in the world.

FYI, strong institutions hold leaders accountable. The same institutions that Escóbàr doesn't want to strengthen. As advanced as China is, they still kill corrupt public office holders.

All these stories of subsidy this and that....bla bla bla is nothing. She's just staging a gradual come back to public service again to take her share of the remaining cake.

In all of the interview did she blame Tinubu for anything or criticise some of his bad policy, NO. That is a typical Westerner for you. Tribalism.

Lagos still gat lots of bad roads, go to oshodi to see lots of open manhole that can swallow more than 100 people at a go (God forbid)

We still have lots of inner roads in bad shape around oshodi whereas oshodi na popular place

Go to Ogun state and you will be shocked, infact Ogun state is the headquarters of bad roads in south west

Go to Oyo state, ondo state, Ekiti state, Osun state etc
You want them to fix every roads at a time??

Big fat lies. GEJ inherited a stable economy and ran it aground. He couldn't control his ministers. The monumental corruption through Dieziani is still fresh in our memory. There was no infrastructural development. When the purse became empty he turned to subsidy removal and we said no. If you inherited stable economy with huge purse and you blew all and there's nothing to show for it how can we trust you with savings from subsidy removal?
The economy was run aground in 2012?

Not a single question. Ask Tinubu and ask state governors. The savings are shared. FG took some. States took some. The governors are very happy that the focus is only on Tinubu.
Tinubu alone got 52.68% of the revenue, the governors got 26.72, while the local governments got the remaining. So for obvious reason more focus would be on Tinubu.

You have nailed the point . These is the reasons many Nigerians need to support separations of local government from those state governors . Nigerians have many questions to ask many people including lg . Fg has generated his funds for the ministries, States and local government . It is now left to them how they make use of it in their respective Jurisdictions.

The money Tinubu is giving to APC decampees N250 billion to governors, N50 billion to senators, etc. is that not the subsidy-removal savings he is sharing as if it were his personal money?

Provide the quote.

This is how you guys carry your feeble emotions into political discussions. Even that false narrative you are peddling has been debunked by the minister. You guys are so obsessed with Wike, while vultures like those Fubara dined with recently are sharing state resources.

Now, given the removal of subsidy and increase in allocations to the 36 states, what has Fubara been doing with Rivers State's money? He is receiving more than all the previous governors in Rivers State, but has nothing to show for it. The political crisis is also not an excuse for his failure.

Prior to the emergency rule, he told Rivers people that the crisis was not affecting his performance. The emergency rule ended several months ago, and he still doesn't have a direction. He has also reignited the crisis. You can't hide incompetence, no matter the excuses.

Being a clueless neophyte in politics certainly doesn't help his cause. Unfortunately for him, this is a political year. Let him perform his magic.
