But some people will not think that this man became an opposition because things didn’t go his way with this government,if he had been appointed as a minister…he would have been part of their so called tormentors

Let us assume that he is motivated by what you allege to be his non appointment to the government.

Are you saying he is just like Jagaban of Borgu, the serial betrayer of not just Yoruba people, but also the entire people of Nigeria

My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola

What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?

At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.

That is Tinubu?

Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.

He wanted to be a commissioner?

Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.

Was Tinubu very close to MKO?

Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.

And lost his state woefully,I would take his boss's word,obj over your narration of el rufai in his book,my watch.......he would know better.

Need I ask you again,how many deaths have been recorded in southern KD from banditry and herdsmen attack now compared to el rufai's time as gov also remember to update us on the security situation in birnin gwari now as against then.

El rufai I can agree is one of the most competent hands you have up north but his political style and choices smears him with so much dirt......what he has in competence ,he lacks in principles and that really belittles what ever stature he thinks of himself.

His entitlement mentality is his undoing,he didn't do more for tinubu than wamakko,al makura,yari and co who are equally not in this govt but are all still loyal to their party......

We are talking of a better future for ourselves, you are dragging us to the past. What concern us with what has happened in the past? Are you sure you really want the best for yourself? Or you just want to continue the narrative of being APC and Teanoobu’s lapdog?

Elrufai was not on the ballot in 2023. Tinubu was and yet, he lost both Lagos and Osun, his place of residence and state of origin respectively. Speaking of Obasanjo's My Watch, here's what he said about Tinubu. If Obasanjo was right about Elrufai, he's also right about Tinubu.

Words of a politician against his arch rival,kindly juxtapose that with his statement on el rufai whom he worked with directly and could have been considered his prodigy,which is more damning?

Same atiku el rufai is pandering to at the moment,he had thrown under the bus in the past despite it being on record he atiku brought him into govt......el rufai is equally a turncoat and an outrageously flippant character......he is no different from any other politician, even his successor wouldn't want to touch him with a long poll,that tells you the kind of person he is.

KIDfurniture:
All of them are the same ! Thieves and evil politicians- I don’t trust any of them but the one with conscience is far better than tinubu the evil man. Endsars massacre in Lagos was engineered by this same evil man.

They don’t care about us.

Are you sure that 200 million mumus in this Luggardian contraption care about ourselves, with our minimal participation in politics and governance issues?

Is our minimal participation not driven by tribalistic views of zoning and rotation to avoid marginalisation in sharing the national cake, which is corruption

The ranking placed Nigeria in 186th position, only after Haiti, among 187 countries of the world. Nigeria also ranked worst in Africa. Nigeria’s low voter turnout

PREMIUM TIMES had reported how Nigeria recorded a new low in voter turnout during the last general elections. With a national turnout of 29 per cent, a Premium Times analysis showed that the last election had the lowest participation rate in the country’s six decades of independence.

It further revealed that of the 93.4 million registered voters this year, 87.2 million people collected their Permanent Voters Card and the total number of actual voters on election day was only 24.9 million..The winner of the election, Bola Tinubu, had less than nine million votes, roughly 10 per cent of the total eligible voters.

Another analysis by this newspaper revealed that all the 18 candidates in Nigeria’s February elections received only 27.55 per cent of the total eligible votes.

Lol. Obasanjo is right on Elrufai, but he's wrong on Tinubu abi? Okay, if you insist. Osinbajo, Tinubu's protégé also contested against Tinubu and told us to "vote for who we know, not who we do not know." Does this say a lot about Tinubu or is Osinbajo just a betrayer, like Aregbesola, Ambode, Fashola, Fayemi, and the rest of the other contemporary Southwestern "protégé" of Tinubu?

How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals

AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.

Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.

The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.

In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.

He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.

“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.

It is on record that the security situation in the north is far better than it was in the previous govt when a northerner was in power.....infact for emphasis kaduna is far safer now than when your midget held sway.

When Funke Olakurin, daughter of Afenifere leader, Pa Reuben Fasoranti was murdered instead of Bola Tinubu to make sure that the perpetrators were brought to book, he ended up making fun of the death of the young lady by turning everything into tribalism by showing his hates for Igbos.


Tinubu has never spoken against the deadly activities of Fulani herdsmen across the country

The same stand Adeyinka Grandson gave on the death of Fasoranti's daughter is where Tinubu, the leader of the Yoruba Conservatives stands. Please see Tinubu's video below. pic.twitter.com/COhiSvabqW

— Adeyinka Grandson (@deyinkagrandson) July 14, 2019

Mrs Olakunrin died of gunshot wounds in July 2019 after her vehicle was attacked by armed men, suspected to be marauding Fulani bandits whose violent activities had reached a frightening level across the southwest states.


Those arrested suspects include Lawal Mazaje, 40, from Felele area of Kogi State; Adamu Adamu, 50, from Jada area of Adamawa State; Mohammed Usman, 26, from Illela area of Sokoto State and Auwal Abubakar, 25, from Shinkafi area of Zamfara State....

However, the leader of the team, identified only as Tambaya, and three others are yet to be found.

Tambaya has been declared wanted by the police and he is said to be capable of communicating in Hausa, Fulfude and Pidgin English.

What about Kwara and Kogi? Are they far safer today? It is a known fact that the governors of Kaduna and Katsina are offering "peace deals" to bandits that are seeing them migrate to states like Kwara. Is this worth celebrating? Should we rather celebrate over optics than real results? Over 170 Christians got kidnapped in Kaduna recently with initial attempts at denial by the government. They just got "rescued" a few days ago with no single bandit killed in the operation. I'm sure you know what that means. Well, Elrufai preferred not to "procure" peace just to look good on paper. Besides why blame Elrufai? "When it comes to issues of security, the buck stops at the president's desk". That's a direct quote from Tinubu to Jonathan.

Ofunaofu:
Akpabio deserves every despicable name being hurled at him.

I watched him on national television with disbelief as he spewed weak, illogical excuses for why electronic transmission of election results from polling units should not be mandatory hiding behind insecurity, a collapsed national grid, and failing telecom services in nine states, and deliberately refusing to mention the nine states while casually casting aspersions at real and imagined critics.

Having tangled himself in contradictions, he then had the audacity to tell Nigerians to direct their grievances to INEC and not to him or the Senate as though the Senate President’s role is to evade responsibility rather than make laws.

It took David Mark, a former Senate President, to publicly reduce him to a remedial civics lesson: his duty is to legislate, not to obfuscate; to make laws, not excuses. If Nigerians demand mandatory electronic transmission of results, it is the responsibility of the Senate, under Akpabio’s leadership to enshrine it in law.

Anything less is not just incompetence; it is a deliberate attempt to sabotage free, fair, and credible elections and to subvert the will of the people.

You deserve a follow. You are one of the real guys here.

‘Tactical Ransom or Negotiation?’ Nigerians Question Tinubu, FG as Kebbi, Kwara Terrorists Go Scot-Free

Since the Nigerian government confirmed that the abducted 38 worshippers in Kwara State and the 24 Kebbi schoolgirls had been freed, many Nigerians have been awaiting updates about the arrest or killing of their abductors.

The silence of the federal and state governments on consequences for the perpetrators has led many to believe that the government likely negotiated with the terrorists and paid ransom to have the abductees released.

FIJ called the spokespersons of the Nigerian Army (NA) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Wednesday morning, but neither provided answers to questions about the abductors.

Shortly after Kebbi Governor Nasir Idris and Bello Matawalle, Minister of Defence, announced on Tuesday that the 24 students had been freed, the terrorists who abducted the girls released a video, saying the government negotiated with them for the girls’ release.

So also zamfara,borno,yobe, plateau,benue even edo central which was impassable before due to kidnappers are all safer now..... don't worry about kwara,it will be sorted in due time.

El Rufai is saying the truth.Yes.
Tinubu is the worst president since 1999... Yes
Truth is not the same as hatred
So stop gaslighting the masses with the word hatred anytime they speak the ills of this government.
It just like saying that everyone in bed with Tinubu loves him...

That's why they bought all the governor's so that they will use them to rig the election and after they will tell you to go to court that is in their pocket.
