What Are The Opposition Leaders Going To Do Differently If Elected? by helinues(op): 6:28am On Mar 03
To the opposition leaders in ADC, PDP, LP, what are you going to do differently that will make the glaring difference from what we are currently experiencing in Nigeria?

Return the fuel subsidy?

Continue naira dollar subsidization?

Bring hunger back as one of the opposition leader over the weekend said the farmers will suffer because of price of foods coming down ?

How would they solve the insecurity in the country as this current government score below 30% in that sector

Nigeria fx, High credit score with the international foreign institutions, are they going to reverse the progress?

May be their supporters can help their principals in answering what their party are going to do differently without being emotional, they might win people to their camp

They don't even have anything good to offer anyone. Were they not all in power in the past? What good things can you say if Obi, Aregbesola, Atiku etc. They all failed. Mark as a Senate president was a failure.

After we vote them in, you’ll see what they’ll do differently.

Just the same way Buhari and Tinubu were voted in by you guys and we saw how they did things differently.

1.) Arrest and prosecute Bola Tinubu from 1999 to recover all he acquired from Lagos to Nigeria and use it for the Nigerian masses (Lagosians, etc).



2.) Probe all the key cabinet members and appointees of this corrupt regime so that they can render full account of how they spent the petrol subsidy money they realized, how they spent the trillions of loans borrowed, how they awarded the coastal highway project without advertising for public tender and following due process. How they have been handling our crude oil revenue. How they have handled the various new tax revenues generated since 2023.



3.) Arrest former INEC Chairman Yakubu to come and give sincere account of what truly happened in 2023 General election to be handled by very competent foreign bodies and panel to be set up by the Presidency

4.) Probe Nigeria's security budget and how it has been utilized in securing Nigeria. Every single person that headed any key security outfit from 2023 to 2027 will be prosecuted so that they can give detailed account of their office.


5.) Completely overhaul our electoral law to make it full automated especially in polling unit voter accreditation and result transmission.


Making sure Nigerians in Diaspora start voting in all Nigerian general elections to also contribute in deciding who governs their nation because they usually have better judgment haven seen the light in developed countries they live.

6.) Full implementation of state police with immediate effect.


7.) Complete revamping of our Agro sector to make it a global standard and to boost revenue also.


8.) Sell off of all key federal institutions like; NNPC Refineries, Ajaokuta Steel Plant


9.) Carefully begin to work on making Nigeria function on a credit system to reduce burden on Nigerians.


And lots more

And don't you think your arrest arrest won't distract the government?

You want to sell national assets instead of partnering with foreign investors to revive those sectors

Shouldn't your number 9 points be the starting of the government if the government is not for vengeance?

Real economics have proven time without number that governments have no business running businesses, it always lead to corruption and waste pipe. Government should only focus on regulation and ensure compliance. We need to sell those waste pipes called NNPC Refineries and Ajaokuta Steel Plant asap and channel the funds to growing our Agro and healthcare sector, while refocusing NNPC to being a full regulator an compliance parastatal.



You cannot continue to allow past corrupt Governors and Presidents to get away with their past misdeeds and mismanagement of public funds if you truly want to sanitize the system and prevent future reoccurrence. Message has to be passed that its no longer business as usual by bringing past corrupt leaders to book. They should come and account how they managed public funds during their regime, its not a complicated issue.


I love what Tinubu is doing to El Rufai and Malami somehow, we need more of such, especially on ex Presidents, they shouldn't be exempted from probe.



These things cannot distract a serious government because its not going to be handled by the President and his entire team, just empowe the necessary government agencies and bodies to do their job and forewarn them of the consequences of twisting justice or trying exempt some people

I am not talking about running business like NNPC Refineries....I am talking about anti corruption agencies like EFCC, ICPC, etc being empowered to do their job and forewarned not to compromise or twist justice to spare some people or indict some innocent people

The fx growing is Indirect business running. All sectors only need good manager and board

Best is to sell them to private conglomerates and then help them with policies to grow while government maintain a certain percentage stake in the business.....this is what Chinese government has been doing that has helped them. They sponsor private business owners to travel around the world to invest and bring return back to China and also pay tax. Once government is in charge, people will most likely take advantage of it especially in Nigeria where we are still struggling with anti-corruption war and ethnic bias

Obi's qualifications to be president:

1. He can serve food at parties.
2. He can wash British Airways toilets. Nah wah for BA self.
3. He can buy groundnut for road to eat.
4. He can murmur when China went back to China.
Gbajue for a reason!

Your second paragraph is great but it is the most difficult thing to do in a democratic nation, because most politicians won’t be cool with it and it definitely might lead to impeachment or even delays in passing such bill till such president term is over. Maybe in a party state, it can happen or even a majority member of house, just as the current president is enjoying that now. Bills being signed are faster than we’ve experienced because the party of the majority is that of the ruling party and the president has no superior “a godfather” to question his opinions.

I feel Tinubu is still one way being fair with implementing some bills that he knows will affect people he needs, “an instance of it is the LG autonomy, he can actually leave it for the Supreme Court to handle, but the last time it was discussed, he was still warning them to abide by it or else he wouldn’t have any choice than to let the SC do their job”.

I don’t see any reasonable cards opposition can actually play that will outperformed this current government, except on terrorism and banditry which still crackdown to the voting power that they need from the regions that is massively affected by this situation.
