Datti knows the truth and can’t hide it!

What Datti is actually saying is that Tinubu is a dictator.
He is a dictator and Datti, Atiku , and Obi are walking free?

Abacha would have sent them all to Hades

Imagine! This same guy was talking about the criminals activities of Tinubu in the past. Well, is Nigeria where only those who are hungry starts singing the praises of their pay masters once they start benefiting from them.

This is the same Datti that was against all that Tinubu depict from the beginning. Now he has crossed over, hence talking like a drunken fish out of water. Well, let Peter Obi get the privilege first to see how he wield power or not.

All good thinking Nigerians want is a country that works for the benefits of all and not a man fighting to conceal his dirty criminal past from the country he is lording it over.
OBI is a betrayal. Datti don see LIGHT.NO TO GBAJUE undecided grin

Datti should cease fire on OBI
We know he knows him BETTER
He should let OBI loss in peace
We all know he is all bark with no bite
He is just a political entertainer

Nigeria constitution makes all Nigerian presidents looks like a dictator.
The constitution gave so much power to the president. What do you expect?

Same Tinubu that is currently fighting a legal battle in the United States. He is not in that court fighting to recover Nigeria’s stolen wealth. He is not in court fighting to recover looted assets hidden away in London, New York or Switzerland by corrupt government officials.

He is not in court fighting multinational companies over exploitation, environmental destruction or broken contracts. He's not fighting to recover Nigeria’s stolen cultural heritage. He's not in court fighting to protect Nigeria’s natural resources, intellectual property or commercial interests.

He's not fighting to enforce an international award in Nigeria’s favour. He's not in court challenging sanctions or IMF conditions that are unfavorable to the wellbeing of Nigerians.

Rather, he is fighting in court to ensure the FBI and the Drug enforcement agency don't release certain information they have on him about his past dealings. But for the fact that giving excuses for the shenanigans in leadership has become a national pastime for us as a people, this should have triggered a serious concern in the mind of every Nigerian.

Clearly, I would agree with some of my friends whose argument is that the president has a constitutional right to defend himself in court. Everyone does. Even a robber caught with his hand, right in the cookie jar also does.

However, when a president’s personal interests intersect with the interests of a foreign power, Nigeria may be the one to suffer the damage. America will pursue American interests, always. The FBI will stop at nothing to do so. If you think this is a conspiracy theory, I will advise you to check into a library and read a book.

Every powerful country protects its own interest, and often times, it's at the expense of other countries which are vulnerable. The question is this: Who is protecting Nigeria's interest? I would think Mr. President should be leading the pack.

But what happens when his own sensitive information is in the hands of the agency of a foreign government that seeks control and unfettered access? Then they have a leash on him. And when decisions affecting Nigeria’s resources, Nigeria's economy, Nigeria's sovereignty and national interests are being made, a foreign government has got leverage.

But the consequences will not be suffered by the president. You, the ordinary citizen, will bear the brunt. You will have a president on seat but someone else who is not Nigerian is calling the shot because they are holding his secrets for him. They are, "proverbially", holding his scrotum in their hands.

Let me tell you what I think. The FBI will do all they can to keep the information redacted so long the President "plays ball". Trust me, the president will play ball, even if it means selling your present and your future in exchange. I sincerely wish we could just stop viewing this through the lenses of tribe, religion or political alignments.

This is bigger than party politics. Ask the sincere question. For how long can Nigerians continue to have a liability as their president? And who pays the price? I don't want anyone to perceive this as a personal attack on the president. No!

I want you to realise that it is in the interest of these world powers that nations like ours are governed by leaders that are weak and vulnerable. With that, these leaders become an asset of some sort to them. They become the weakest link through which these super powers can easily get access and control of our resources.

Such compromised leaders will throw you, citizens, under the bus if that's what it takes to get the backing of the super powers and cling to power. They will easily give away the control of your nation's resources and the ordinary citizens would not know at what time their existence was signed away.

Think beyond politics. Think beyond tribe.
Think beyond religion. Think National interest. For now, I rest my case. It is a new day!

It's a pity and disheartening that our present day youths are unable to read and comprehend a simply statement.
Really sad!!. Almost all the comments proved that. Someone is lamenting the dictatorial tendencies of our president and People were busy here lashing on Obi

I bolded the last part of your statement. Lol. All good thinking Nigerians. Who? People like you? Lol.

Any right thinking person will just stay out of the madness going on. Even Datti speaking is talking out of the madness. The right thinking person is the one who remains calm and keeps praying to God to have mercy on Nigeria.

The worst group is the Obidients. Thats the group I think you belong. Personally, I can't see one and try to have any conversation with such. Even to do business with such...I cant. Cos I know that fellow cant use his brain. I guess you belong there.

Those Tinubu boys are just something else also. The Atiku boys. At least I think those ones are just there to chop the Dubai dollar man.

I dont get it. Man went to Pandora to do his wayo thing. He did absolutely nothing in Anambra. Even you all complained then. Yet, you dont see anyone else to follow in SE other than that one. And you even followed him to the stage that he decided to pick Kwankwaso as his VP. Kwankwaso....and you are still following him. I give up on you.

10 years later, you sef will be embarrassed how you fell into this. But that is if you have started using that thing up.

A beg...na Sunday be today. Goodluck.

So if Peter Obi or Atiku had won, they would have defeated bandits right? Even late Buhari, a retire general; his convoy was attacked by bandits. His home state was ransacked by bandits. They play thinking that eradicating banditry and terrorism in Nigeria is a child's play.

I can now confirm that these miscre@nts don't read at all. Read their comments and you will understand. Datti is calling their god Tinubu a dictator but they think he is insulting Obi.

Richtaiwo:
From my personal observation, Peter Obi is not mentally sound. His public commentaries often raise serious questions about the coherence of his reasoning. Listening closely to many of his speeches, one sometimes encounters a striking gap between the sophistication of his references and the clarity of his conclusions.

He frequently invokes countries such as Bangladesh, China, India and the Netherlands as models of progress. One would therefore expect that, during his tenure as governor, he would have translated at least some of those lessons into practical policies at the state level. Yet, when pressed on such specifics, the conversation often descends into the familiar nanu nanu like wild monkeys.

You guys always talk as if Obi doesn't have a record that we can cross check his promises against.
Pls stop.

Are you ok at all? It was glaring that Buhari was enabling the bandits ? Was it not Buhari that wanted to take lands all over nigeria and hand it over to his brothers ?
