Wetin consign FG with state metro? Tomorrow they'd start complaining about lack of funds. It's now clear that our own type of democracy is a scam. Tinubu often beats his chest as one who fought for democracy, but here is doing anything but democracy —by stifling opposition through monetary lure or EFFC hunt etc

Nigerians and hypocrisy eh!
So he wants the tax other people paid to be used for mega projects in his region!
He's just asking for his region's fair share.

Learn to comprehend.

Audio. But wouldn't he have approved it if the governor didn't decamp to the APC? This simply means the president is using our common patrimony selectively in such a way that will grant him unfair political advantage. It's a subtle abuse of office that is tending towards dictatorship. Governance should be separated from politics. This is no different from how Lucius Cornelius Sulla became the first dictator of Rome.
Nay..... from the days of NPN, PDP and now APC. Alignment with the center attracts more support than when you didn't. Parties use it to show what they have for their supporters. Your South East supported PDP for sixteen years but got nothing from them.

If a president is broad minded he will execute projects even in parts that didn't support him (as PBAT is during for the south east) but it's morally wrong to deny people the benefits of their support.

So the people in the States not governed by APC should suffer? This money belongs to all Nigerias.Because your governor is not an APC member should that mean you shouldn't enjoy the benefits of the money that belongs to every citizen of this country? Is this not an executive rascality? These Nigeria crop of leaders take Nigerians for fools because we fold our hands and do nothing. This rubbish is ongoing because we have failed in our common responsibility to stand up to face this evil which have become the culture and tradition of corrupt leaders. When will Nigerians pick up courage and challenge this axis of evil going on in the country? If you no fight evil way e no go close.

Without FG approval, the project cannot be funded

Lol. We have not had stable electricity in Nigeria since 1978 because most Nigerians do not want to pay a cost reflective tarrifs for the power they use. Including Mr president.

If people like, make dey mock me. Lol. Companies don't run on low profits
Cost reflective tariff is not the reason why our power sector is comatose. It is corruption and inefficiency
Companies running on profit has to do with private sector not public sector
Nigeria's power sector was privatised in 2014

Sometimes I wonder the kind of patience we have as a people, imagine a government that never talks about welfare and security of it's citizens, he sure did this for election sake,

So he defected so he can also receive huge sums for White elephant projects
That project has been in the book even before the governor decamped. This is August 2025 news below.

Nigeria media are just feasting on it because the topi Kano is hot now.

This project was approved last year (August) when the Governor was still in opposition. It ain't a new project. Be taking things easy.

Beg beg, just 2 weeks ago u were bragging about not paying tax?

And vowed never to pay federal or state tax under Tinubu.
We're you not the one just shouting all over the other thread that Tinubu owes Nigerians nothing? Why then should we pay tax?

Unfortunately for Mr FALLarin aka Tinupoo, you won't be the one to commission this project as it will also be replicated across other major cities by a more detribalised president which you already know grin
Does it really matter? But I can tell you for free that Tinubu would start it, and another APC president will commission it.

The unfortunate thing about you guys is that you don't think and digest issues before you comment.

Did Tinubu approve it from Turkey or from where?

I'm told the project was approved since last year September. We should be guided when we comment if our aim is not a mischief.
