Nigeria may not be facing a constitutional vacuum today, but there is a disturbing vacuum of political leadership.

I have travelled, lived and spent time abroad, and I have never pretended otherwise. But there is a fundamental difference between the travels of a private citizen and the responsibility of the sitting President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Consider what Bola Tinubu is leaving behind. Petrol priced beyond the reach of ordinary people. Families rationing food. Transport fares that have turned a journey to one’s own village into a luxury. Insecurity that buries Nigerians week after week. And in the middle of all this, President Tinubu has packed his bags for three weeks in Europe.

The Vice President is abroad on official duty. That makes the President’s decision even more difficult to understand. Leadership is not merely the constitutional right to occupy an office; it is the judgment to know when your country needs you at home.

A father may travel when all is well. But when his roof is burning and his family is trapped inside, he does not pick up his suitcase and head for the airport.

That is the issue here. It is not that a President must never rest or travel. It is that Nigeria is burning, and the President has chosen a boarding pass over the fire extinguisher.

Millions of Nigerians are being grounded by hardship while their President is airborne. The people can barely afford to move, but the President keeps moving.

A government that cannot feel the pain it inflicts will never summon the will to end it.

Tinubu made Nigeria expensive. I will make Nigeria affordable again. -AA

Since Atiku said he will return fuel subsidy,he hasn't stopped pressing the necks of APC and since then,they have never ever known peace..

It has been from one shalaye to the other.

Ask atiku if he ended the suffering of old nitel staff when he sold their agency for peanuts and threw them all out if jobs without even caring about paying them their severance packages.

Atiku was vp when poor Barassie citizens were gifted to Cameroon to be persecuted and burdened by that country while his govt left them to their faith, did he end tbeir suffering?

Atiku never ended our suffering despite them spending $16b on electricity but we are still energy poor.

Nitel could have still survived if it's GSM arm mtel had been allowed to charge cost reflective tarrifs. But government forced it to sell cheap, meaning that it could not compete with MTN, now Airtel, and Glo. Result..collapse.



The Bakasi issue was a lost cause from the word go. As outlined by the late Nowa Omoigui in his ;The Bakassi story;...the case was already bad from day one.
Also, the decision to go to the internatonal court was taken by Abacha..for a good reason, we were on the verge of war with Cameroon, and both governments thought it was better to go to arbitation rather than fight.
Once the court passed the ruling, Nigeria had no choice but to comply. Hence greentree.



Well, generation did increase from 1.9GW to 5GW under PDP, so there was an increase in generation. That means monies were spent.

Plus 16 billion would not have been enough...Nigeria needs far far more than that for electricty spending.

And yet you didn't make the lives of people living in your village affordable as vice president of 8 years. ATIKU must you speak if you don't have anything to say?

SAYS A DUBAI RESIDENT MARAUDING AS A NIGERIAN. NOT A TEANUBU SUPPORTER BY THE WAY
BUT ATIKU SHOULD REST.

The Guinean in Aso rock has more explanation to do about his origins and residence than any other Nigerian!!!

Any idea why Tinubu has a name different from that of his Mogaji mother
