The Obi in bed with potential terrorists 😂

Hi

Burob:
But President Tinubu is a thief abi? yet the most effective chairman of EFCC Nuhu Ribadu under the Pdp works for Tinubu today.

He confessed that during Obasanjo’s 2nd term 2003-2007 he was mandated specifically by the Pdp to investigate Governor Tinubu, & that after all the EFCC’s investigations they found nothing on Asiwaju, yet the Obidient clueless bots will still call Tinubu a criminal, like their Panama papers criminal Gringory Obi?

Even tinubu was mentioned on panama papers but people don't talk about it because he already have enough baggages.Obi is the only politician after office that has never been indicted and invited by any Corruption agency

EXACTLY!!.. they are only interested in their own pockets and don't give a fu*k about how it affects others....I mean this your machiavellian CITY BOYS.
Their support for TINUBU isn't because they believe in a better Nigeria, but completely TRANSACTIONAL!!.

Not all the Korope buses are out of shape and bad. Many are still good and new. Some of them buy those buses direct Belgium Tokunbo. There is nothing wrong with phasing out the bad ones. But telling everyone to abandon their vehicles and accepting the new ones they will pay for isn’t entirely a good idea.

Many of those buses are worthless bro. Fact. I live in Lekki and go past Ajah few times a week because of ongoing projects we have in an axis after Abraham Adesanya. I see those Korope buses with my own eyes.

Secondly, I don't think they would have told everyone to abandon all the old buses. This is sensationalist and partisan reportage to include even the statement of "allegedly linked to Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu" seems obviously included to make Nigerians lose sight of what is important so they focus alone on insulting the Tinubu family.

If the Lagos Government want buses standardized for aesthetic appeal and mechanical safety, then that is their right to implement as the sole authority responsible for the public transport sector of Lagos and as obtains globally.

Even an ultimatum for owners of old and unfit buses to swap them with new and acceptable one would not be illegal if Lagos wants it that way.

The reason most of these guys will resist this is because the status quo is good for them and their vehicle-Owner bosses even as such will forever be inimical to Lagos developing an efficient, safe, modern and comfortable transport system.

More information is needed before anyone starts taking sides let alone begin insulting others, like Tinubu and his son, who likely have nothing to do with this development.

On the face of it, anyone who truly loves Lagos will accept newer, mechanically safer and well-maintenwd Korope buses is a welcomed development.

Very greedy family. The daughter is all over the family fighting over market stall revenues, fighting over titles while Remi is obsessed with praise singers

Please say something else.

He will share his office with these characters. Right?!!.
Abeg tok another thing joor!!!.

Kudos to you for not attempting any DEFENSE of this CRIMINOCRACY we have ongoing!!✅😜

Wealth is no longer enough for them, they want to completely enslave everyone within their reach. Imagine what he will do if he becomes governor of Lagos? He will build universities and direct all graduates from Lagos to go back and study in his schools before they can work? God help Nigeria!

Below is an expansive take on events that reveals some factual truth SaharaReporters left out to go with a more salacious and deliberately incendiary reportage framing issues to appear as if the transport workers are fighting 'tyranny' of Tinubu and his son.

We claim to want better but now throw our brains in the bin to be siding with agents of regression because of hatred of certain people and entities.

Lagos defends minibus ban on Lekki-Epe corridor after drivers’ protest

The Lagos state government has berated operators of ‘Korope’ minibuses for obstructing traffic along the Lekki–Epe expressway in protest against restrictions on their operations.

The government described the action as disruptive and contrary to prior agreements on transport reforms.

In a rejoinder issued on Tuesday, Sola Giwa, special adviser to the governor on transportation, said the corridor had been officially redesignated a Mass Transit and Regulated Transport Corridor under the Bus Reform Initiative (BRI).


The policy, which took effect following the December 2025 rollout of high- and medium-capacity buses on the Lekki–Epe axis, seeks to enhance safety, efficiency, and economic viability in public transport.


Giwa said the ban on unregulated Korope minibuses was not abrupt or selective, but followed extensive stakeholder consultations with transport unions, operators, and associations, alongside sensitisation programmes, public notices, and advance warnings to facilitate smooth compliance.

He expressed regret that some operators, fully aware of the regulatory framework, opted to obstruct the busy expressway, a key economic link serving residential, commercial, industrial, and maritime zones, including the Lekki Free Trade Zone, causing inconvenience to thousands of commuters and jeopardising public safety and productivity.

Allegations of the serially dishonest and discredited SaharaReporters is now gospel truth to be believed without query?

Abi.. that is why Nigerians need peter obi to come and set Nigeria free from all these oppressors and liberate Nigeria in 2027

Like father like son no difference

What does this even mean?

That is why they want to gradually turn Nigeria into a one party state so they can control the structures, institutions and control the whole of Nigeria..it's a pity

The level of impunity going on in that state is unheard of. How do we explain this to a foreigner?

NSNO:
Obi that's in bed with Atiku, El-rufai, Amaechi and co, that same Obi will dismantle criminal politicians?

Please say something else

The unholy alliance between the agbero union and the ruling party continues to bring forth its bitter fruit. I had a supplier spend three fruitless hours in that Ajah traffic this morning - and the delivery had to be cancelled.

Ordinary Nigerians weren't there when they negotiated their sweetheart deals and yet now they have fallen out with each other, the rest of us have to pay a heavy price. This same agbero union has backed the APC to the hilt for over a decade now. They should sort out their differences and stop being an inconvenience to the rest of us.

It's okay if you don't understanding. Perhaps your closed mind won't allow you see the obvious.

Look at you, you dont understand. If you do, you won't make sarcastic comments like that. Lemme explain the difference if you don't mind.

There is a difference between being lured from a clean state into corrupt state and being lured from corrupt state into a clean state.

No matter how clean you are, when you engage with someone like Tinubu, I can bet you, your hands can never be clean. Your moral stand can never be upheld. You just jumped into a dirt mud and become dirty. Yes, you will also see money because that's the catch but you will also be largely compromised. Thats evident so far since Tinubu showed up in Nigerian politics. Even Pastor Osibanjo wasn't left out. The only thing working for him is his contentment with how dirty he has become and doesn’t want to get any dirtier.

However, with situation is entirely opposite.
No politician doesn’t know Obi is the force to reckon with after 2023 elections. The man that ran the most cost efficient campaign in the history of Nigerian politics since 1999 with no structure and whatever metrics they used in assessing him but still pulled the numbers and figures he did in the last elections. The organic numbers can not reduce but only increase. The north was all he needed at the time and now, am pretty sure they have come around.
So it is only normal and wise for Atiku and any other opposition to align with him come what may even if they have to be clean to do so. So Obi influenced them positively to be better politicians, and if you ask me, that's what they country need right now. People who will encourage others to be honest, selfless, competent and emphatic in public service. To be politician that doesn’t have to steal, deny people and self serving, undemocratic to lead is what that man is spearheading and if he can win it, He will kick start a new style of politics that just might trigger the better Nigeria we hope for.

Just imagine, they won't even have a credible, free and fair elections. INEC don't even have a say, Nigerians yearning can't even be passed because they are the majority and loyal to their party than the Nigerians that voted them. What it means is that Nigerians didn't vote them and thus don't need Nigerians.

So back to the heading of the thread. Yes, Obi is with them as a cleansing agent. Not other way around.

When the people are tired, Lagos will crumble!

Andyour obi built a brewery with state fund and allocated 75% stakes in Brewery to himself.

And your obi looted $35 million Anambra money and offloaded to South America

And your same obi was named in Pandora scandal

And your same obi collected N27Billion from Madueke on behalf of Gej and he dissapeared with the money

You want ore....?

Wait oo are you even a Lagosian? Two family are having issues you just dipped obi head inside.

I agree with you. I stay around Ajah Badore precisely. If those very old rickety will be phased out then no problem. It’s same thing I pointed out in my earlier comment. Anything that will bring development to Lagos is always welcomed!

Those of you living in Lagos should confirm this , apart from BRT I don't know of any special buses like that. Transportation in a state should not be monopolized, how can one family hold a state and its tax paying citizens to ransom. Imagine being forced into buying a bus from him at whatever exorbitant rate he chooses.

If such evil ploy goes through it will be a template for the whole country, such monopolies drive up transport costs and contribute to higher cost of living in the state, we already say this on the BRT buses, they becoming dilapidated with no replacements and other individuals aren't allowed to bring in alternatives, they are even banned from the routes.

Like I always say, this is not sustainable in the long run.

The day a new government will take over from APC/AD/ACN bulshit in Lagos, that is the day they will be liberated and the extent of the colossal damage this statute from Iragbiji will be unfolded

This is they do not understand. No one remains on top forever.
