It seems the baba has forgotten the agreement and doesn't like the freedom he is now enjoying.

Wetin the bishops tell tinubu?

ebuk4real:
This one is saying this to protect his ass. South Eastern people are mostly Catholic. Let him dare disparage the clergy and Watch him kiss his political career dead like Ohakim of Imo state

And what if he had kept quiet, would they have known the side he's on?

crestedaguiyi:
He is a catholic, a devoted one at that. i want expecting anything different

@Wotowotoman onye nkuzi you're needed here

Emilokan phenomenon overbloated with absolute power which corrupts the absolute.

When a man assumes a stage where truth becomes repulsive to him,he has assumed a stage of pride which eventually leads to destruction.

Can you quote just one comment from Tinubu since he became president, where he said, there is no hunger in the land? If you are sincere to your very self, you would have read it countless times where he said, he acknowledged there is hunger in the land and that, people should be patient for him.

You ask yourself, is it this time of electioneering campaigns that bishops are supposed to go to Villa and latter went to media to say hunger in the land?

Is such advice/truth marketing or demarketing the party in power?

Dot-nationals must bring the country down, just because voodoo economist came 3rd in an election.

Nothing can destroy master strategist Don Teflon. Obasanjo tried and failed in 2003, thanks to Atiku who stood up for the Lagos landlord, just as he stood up for Obasanjo against northerners who wanted him to honour his promise of one term like Mandela, to them.

Sen Kalu knows that they politicians are liars.

givedemwotowoto:
Even Orji Kalu can't hide his feedback from the President anymore.

He's a snake.He knows that if he talked otherwise,most of the supporters are catholics

The type of freedom enjoyed by Oshiomhole’s APC redeemed saints

chisomkachy:
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has withdrawn the alleged money laundering suit it filed at the Federal High Court against Lagos Speaker Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa.

Naija News understands that the anti-graft did not give any particular reason for its application for withdrawal.

Following the application to withdraw, Justice Nicholas Oweibo discharged the ‘lien/Post No Debit’ placed on Obasa’s three accounts in Standard Chartered Bank.

The accounts are (US Dollars) 0001852063; (Current) 0001852056 and (Saving) 5002309624.

The judge also set aside the ex-parte orders he made on September 15, 2020, which led to the freezing of the accounts.

Recall that the court on September 15, 2020, granted an interim order freezing Obasa’s accounts following the EFCC’s application in a suit marked FHC/LCS/1064/2020.

The agency had said it was investigating the Speaker for the alleged offences of conspiracy, diversion of funds, abuse of office and money laundering.

But Justice Oweibo, on August 16, 2023, heard the application to unfreeze the accounts in his chamber.

During the hearing, the EFCC was represented by Mr. Sulaiman I. Sulaiman, while Obasa was represented by Mr. Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika (SAN).

The EFCC lawyer told the court that the application to unfreeze the accounts was pursuant to Section 44(2)(K) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) and Sections 26, 29 and 34 (1) of the EFCC (Establishment) Act, 2004, and under the court’s inherent jurisdiction.

Section 44 of the Constitution concerns constitutional rights to property.

Justice Oweibo held: “It is hereby ordered that an order is hereby granted to the respondent/applicant setting aside the ex-parte orders of this court made on the 15th day of September 2020 upon the ex-parte motion of the Applicant/ Respondent in relation the funds of the Respondent/Applicant domiciled in the accounts stated in the following schedule:

“ACCOUNT NAME, FINANCIAL ACCOUNT INSTITUTIONS, TYPE OF ACCOUNT, 1. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered, (US Dollars) 0001852063 2. Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Current) 0001852056 3. Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Standard Chartered (Saving) 5002309624.

“Issued at Lagos, under the seal of this Honourable Court and by the hands of the Presiding Judge this 16th day of August 2023.”

The Presidency miscalculated in taking on the Catholic Bishops. This was a situation they could easily have turned to their advantage by adopting a posture of listening, thanking the Bishops for their concerns, and committing to reflect on their counsel. The Catholic Bishops are highly respected and have taken similar positions with previous administrations, so their intervention was not unprecedented.

By choosing to criticise them publicly, the Presidency may have created serious political consequences. APC candidates counting on Catholic support will likely feel the impact, as Catholics generally do not take lightly any perceived disrespect toward their Bishops.

A prompt, sincere apology would be the most constructive way to de‑escalate the situation and correct the rhetoric from overzealous supporters.

But he must attend confession this Saturday so he can attend church on Sunday to receive Communion otherwise he will be excommunicated and his soul damned!

Mbaise Catholics have great respect for their Bishops. Indeed so!

You are right to say that nigeria was dead, security and economy wise. Tinubu's govt buried it.

AMINDA:
Eventually, even the most ardent Tinubu supporter will confess that the Bishops are right because deep down, they know the truth.

orji uzo kalu is not a Tinubu supporter n Tinubu knew that long ago.

The same man that romanced lawan faruk that time n even intentionally gave tinubu a void vote.

He won his seat n tinubu lost the polling unit, that one na supporter?

U should even know Tinubu don't take him serious

There is a fat Journalist that disagrees and had the audacity to call an Emeritus Arch-Bishop an Obidient.

The mouth foaming Journalist has been thoroughly lambasted on YouTube page of his Station.

His name is Jide something.

Mis que on Jide's path.

I think he may be playing the politics to gather support from his region or constituency. If he condemns the bishops, he may likely lose his re-election, since most people in his constituency are Christians or Catholics

LagosOrigin:
Yarimo, a staunch supporter of bola thief, left the group chat .

Ah swear.....

His rotten situation has turned into a bad one🤣

Does onaiyeka think fg will be serving every Nigerian bread and tea in their private homes before acknowledging that economy is improving?
Sanusi acknowledged, Okonjo Iweala acknowledged, I wonder the statistics Onaiyeka and his co-travellers are using to measure the index of the economy.

helinues:
They should go and tell the same truth to the electorates. Are you people no longer interested in winning through the ballot?

That there is hardship, did it start in 2023, that there is hunger, did it emerge after the 2023 election, that there is insecurity, I guess it started just last week and if it's about up Nepa, that problem started just yesterday

Just two tiny Ponsno1 tablets would have solved this issue of having an unwanted specimen within humans years ago.

Did I hear you say they are inconsequential in the scheme of things?
That means you don't know what you are saying.
The Catholic Bishops you are seeing so are the part of the most influential people in the world that shapes the world opinion on economy, politics, and military.
Catholic Clerics are not just influential in the scheme of things in Nigeria but all over the world,they influence policies of the Rulers of this world.

helinues:
Sebi you have not been reading any of the government moves to cushion the hardship and hunger that started in 2023

You are being clever by half. The removal of petrol subsidy and devaluation of the naira , without adequate preparation and social security cushion plunged many Nigerians into multidimensional poverty. It all started after the BAT took over in 2023. Everyone knows that. He exacerbated a problem that many before him had managed expertly. He is responsible for what is happening.

Like putting food on the masses table after fuel subsidy was removed bah

Are you aware that vocational education in Nigeria is now free with some payments attached?

You know nothing about national economics and how things work. Arguing with you is pointless.

deji17:
Senator Kalu has spoken well and as an elder statesman. If you want to govern or lead a people, you must be tolerant and open to criticisms. Political Hallelujah boys should hunt for their prey elsewhere and leave the Catholic Bishop alone.
I'm sure Tinubu is wise enough to know that the praise singing sycophants around him are just protecting their pot of soup, albeit in an overzealous manner.

Political Hallelujah Boys!!
Wetin man no go see for nairaland

Princedapace:
But wait o, what did the Bishop say that is a lie?
Insecurity? Hunger? bro, our purchasing power has dropped drastically. Abi my eyes dey pain me?
The value of 20m last year not same anymore and u will spend heavily to live the quality of life u had just two years ago. It is bloody now. Like bro, Nigerians became poorer. The so called policies should have come slowly.
Only u removed fuel subsidy, float naira, introduced broader tax, only u. Then u didnt curb corruption and waste, so hunger and insecurity skyrocketed

Thstswhy you dont see them stay on the Message ... they deflect the attention of people away from the messsage to focus on the messenger ..

They know they have failed and cant really defend the president achievement .. fight lo ku

crestedaguiyi:

I am Yoruba, a Christian l, born and bred in Lagos, but I will not support Tinubu or a Muslim - Muslim ticket.
If the Northerners and Muslims can always align and support their own to win, why can't Christians also all align and vote otherwise..
This Muslim - Muslim ticket /agenda holds more danger ahead!!
CHRISTIANS BE WARNED
