Tinubu is a bad market internationally. He has not truth in him.

Below are his lies and he was countered.

In November 2022, Deloitte USA stated they had no record of Bola Tinubu being employed by them, contradicting claims that he worked there and earned $1.8 million in salary/bonuses. The firm provided this response via a subpoena following allegations that Tinubu did not have a record of employment with the company.
Contradiction: Tinubu claimed in a TheNews Magazine interview that he earned $1.8 million in bonuses and salaries while working at Deloitte.
Deloitte Response: Deloitte USA, in response to a subpoena (published by Sahara Reporters), reported it had no record of his engagement.
Context: This was part of a larger controversy regarding his background, with some supporters (e.g., in Facebook posts and Instagram reels) alleging that such reports were politically motivated, while other documents (noted in Facebook posts) suggested he worked there briefly.

UrVillageChief:
The same man they all called all sorts of derogatory names for being a failure as a Governor in 2011-12suddenly become the most desirable and upright politician in Nigeria just because he's now contesting against those who are not their kinsmen or do you think Obi would have been enjoying this cult-like followrship if Atiku and Tinubu were Igbos or if he was contesting against people like Willie Obiano, Charles Soludo or even Okorocha?
The problem with Nigeria is that every region protects its thieves and criminals and this particular one would criticize you for protecting yours while not hiding their own hypocrisy. Tinubu and Atiku never claimed to be saintly, it's only this particular teeff that is fond of claiming holiness despite the barrage of corruption allegations surrounding him. The only Nigerian politician that had that bragging right is the late Buhari. I personally do not like him but there's no denying the fact that he was a modest person. Though, people stole monies under him and he was a horrible leader but let's not deny the fact that he was never a thief.

ibechris:
Still the most credible fellow.

Do u know what it means to be a former governor and yet no-one can say whether in the past or present that this good man stole money any where.

His records are watertight and indisputable unlike the drug lord of the aziza Republic who has brought reputaional damage to the nation.

Obi anytime,anyday.

Anambra distributes 177 vehicles to traditional rulers
Posted by NAN
Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State, on Monday in Awka, distributed one SUV each to the traditional rulers of the 177 communities in the state.

Obi handed over one of the vehicles’ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha.

He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively.

“If you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained,” the governor said.

“In doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra.”

Achebe said that he was overjoyed because the governor cared about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers.

“It is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria,” he said.

“It is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact on the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state.”

According to him, it was one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers.

“We pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.”

NLCreator:
Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) in the 2023 elections, has defended the purchase of sports utility vehicles (SUVs) for members of the national assembly.

There have been reports that the leadership of the 10th national assembly has bought SUVs for all lawmakers.

Each SUV is said to be valued at N160 million.

The LP had asked members of the party in the national assembly to kick against “wastage”.

While responding to questions during a press conference in Abuja on Monday, the former governor of Anambra said the SUVs are not personal cars of the lawmakers, noting that they are for official use.

“Let me start with the issue of Labour Party members in the house. I have actually discussed this issue with them,” Obi said.

“Surprisingly, I can tell you I heard that these vehicles are official cars. They have to use it. It is meant for office.

“So it is not as if it is their vehicle. They said it is official cars and you are meant to use it while you are in the senate.”

Obi also hinted at contesting for the country’s number one position in 2027, adding that Nigeria deserves dedicated and visionary leaders who will lead the country towards a brighter future.

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.

If u know what Pandora is u will never bring it up.

Investing in tax haven isn't a crime any where and there is no law in Nigeria that says it is a crime. It becomes a crime if u don't declare it in ur asset declaration form with the Nigerian govt either as public servant or a civil servant.

I repeat,don't ever say this in public if not u would sound like someone who is educationally imbalanced.

I am speaking as former banker. Read below for proper understanding and after that, tell yourself that poverty of knowledge is crime.

[b]Investing in a tax haven is not inherently a crime; its legality depends on the specific actions taken and compliance with the laws of one's home country. The key distinction is between legal tax avoidance and illegal tax evasion.

Key Distinctions
Tax Avoidance (Legal): This involves using legal methods and loopholes within the regulatory framework to minimize tax liability. This can include establishing subsidiary companies in low-tax jurisdictions and routing profits through these entities, provided all activities are properly documented and within the bounds of the law.
Tax Evasion (Illegal/Criminal): This involves using illegal methods to deliberately hide income, assets, or misrepresent financial information to evade taxes. Examples include:
Failing to declare foreign bank accounts or income to your home country's tax authorities.
Creating anonymous accounts to obscure the true source or ownership of funds.
Fraudulently reducing tax liability through intentional misrepresentation.

Wherever you copied and pasted this from, shame on them as it is a poor defence.

He didn't "invest in tax haven" (sic), he hid money under his children's name in a foreign country to avoid paying tax.

He is a tax dodger who claimed he didn't realise he was flouting tax laws when questioned but till today, still hasn't rectified it.

He wants to rule Nigerians, yet he doesn't want to fulfil his Nigerian tax commitments, yet you Obidients will still try and make him out to be a saint, which he clearly isn't.

Thankfully, we all now realise his tax evasion history and as Nigerians, we are not about to forgive or forget it when we go to the polls next year.

Congratulations on being a former banker, sadly that is not something that impresses me.

ottersberger:
According to your warped logic, keeping money in a trust, even one registered under a one's child's name, is tantamount to graft and tax evasion. You must be very poor and have had no opportunity to manage money. Even I have an offshore trust, and it's disappointing to think that we're actually dealing with people of this calibre.

Why don't you talk about the man you support, who was undoubtedly involved in heroin trafficking and forfeited money as a result?. He is the same thief and certificate forger who stole Lagos State dry, and he has transferred the same method to Nigeria, where he also stole the presidential election.

Sir, once more, I don't support President Tinubu so whatever you said about him, a waste of everyone's time.

I am very poor and have never had money and proud of it, so once it's your riches-shaming of me is superfluous.

Peter Obi evaded tax, he has never once sought to sue the writers of Pandora papers to remove his name from that book of shame.

Also, this wasn't him keeping money in a trust, this was him avoiding his tax commitments.

Your so called Saint isn't really one, a shame, right.

Who has sued tinubu till now or atiku abubakar? Abeg go seddon one place with ur Puerile sentimentalism.

ottersberger:
To a some extent, I agree with you. Unfortunately, Ahmed Tinubu antics forced Peter Obi to seek berth away from the Labour Party. As you may recall, he started compromising the party with Alhaji Lamidi Apapa, and then infiltrated the party's fractional leadership. Mr. Julius Abure collaborated closely with his APC handlers to in a bid toensure that Mr. Peter Obi did not get on the ballot, any ballot, as demanded by his paymasters.

Peter Obi had to abandon that platform, as did his supporters who believed in his core values and message. There really was no other option. The ADC presents us with another opportunity to tackle this hydra-headed monster called Tinubu and the APC. While I have my reservations about its optimality, it is currently the best chance Nigerians have to rescue themselves from a megalomaniac and his gang of criminals who are intent on destroying what remains of our nascent democracy and impoverishing us.

Ultimately, it will come down to who is top on the ADC ticket, planning and the party's resolve to canvass and defend its ballots.
