Does your own explanation make sense to you? I know it makes sense to Obidients. But why did you even say it?

Ezewuzie01:
For those who didn't have the patience to read, Kwankwaso is saying that Obi will restore subsidy by building new refineries in 4 years but he failed to ask the demented Obi where the Orient refinery he built in Anambra is, because we are still looking for it.

Confused borrowed candidates.

There's no contradiction here as posited by haters. In 2022, Obi said he will remove subsidy but not immediately and not outrightly. He said he will remove it gradually such that the masses won't feel the effect. That's what he said and the same was done in angola, unlike tinubu who put the race before the horse by firstly removing subsidy outrightly, only to promise palliatives later, which never happenedtoll today. It's just like sending your child to school without paying school fees ahead . Obi would bring back a reasonable percentage of the fuel subsidy, thereby remove it fully later after providing the needed palliatives

Tinubu did what he did deliberately. Him and his cronies where targeted as beneficiaries of the subsidy removal because they had refineries abroad . Tinubu's own wasn't registered in his name, same with his other companies. He operates mainly on proxies. He's pretending he lives local refineries to work but his body language has proved otherwise.when buhari came here to commission dangote refineries, tinubu ran overseas. When buhari said nigeria was bigger by an individual. He's one of tge so-called cabals in hiding

mycar:
There are many ways to do that without going back to the old order, atleast bring down the exchange rate and the price of the crude will come down in naira. if country is moved from consumption to production, there will be more to export, prices will crash. I am ready to go into farming if the insecurity is curbed.

I agree with you 100%. I have said this repeatedly: the massive increase in fuel prices is not solely a consequence of subsidy removal; the sharp depreciation and floating of the naira have played a major role.

If the dollar had remained around ₦500, I find it difficult to see how petrol would be selling for anything close to today’s price, certainly not the current levels.

But here is the irony: Tinubu would apparently rather risk losing the election than allow the naira to strengthen significantly, because the weak naira creates the illusion that state allocations have increased dramatically in nominal naira terms. That is the narrative being sold to the state governors.

Well said. Most of Tinubu’s supporters can't interrogate ideas neither can they think for themselves

Reason I said Obi no get liver....I beg who get the ticket, abi obi na errand boy. I can see reason why this people dey fear jagaban. He no send their papa!

Obidients, over to you o.....una see as the tail don begin to dey wag the dog 😁😁😁

Wetin musa no go see for gate self....

I wonder why he was so hasty in coming out to oppose subsidy. Now, he is struggling to take it back but it's not coming out right.

Tinubu didn't know floating the naira and removal of subsidy will destroy the economy but he is trying to smuggle short term relief from October 1. No presidential candidate can continue with the disaster which this administration pretends is governce. There must be a little 'drive back' so the economy can pick again. Almost all the opposition candidates agree to moderate prices for petroleum products. It seems that's their collective idea

Obi had better get in line and start playing the politics.

This particular election will be won and lost ontop subsidy matter.

Nigerians are tired and hungry and they have subsidy removal to blame for a tonne of their woes


Sick of Tilumbuuu and his raggamuffin policies that suit no one but line his pockets and those of his friends.

Where is bola tinubu

Why is he not in US for UNGA?

Please I asked a simple question, don't turn it to fight and bitterness ..

Where is the president and why is he according Trump at all cost ?

LagosOrigin PrinceofLagos or whatever, must he go to UNGA?

UNGA that's dominated by US Trump talking to people anyhow.

I'm not justifying his non attendance, but he's well represented and I don't think Nigeria and Nigerians missed anything.

LagosOrigin:
Tinubu removed fuel subsidy out of wickedness and hate for the progress of this country

Fuel subsidy should be returned

Mumu obi the chameleon said he won’t remove subsidy his vice said they would remove it….shey una head correct at all
Oloribu ni YÍN

HacheNoire:
His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) is currently in France on a working vacation

Who da fvck is Trump that will make a Demigod- His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) to be avoiding him? Is the orange turd God?

Common! Trump is a kid where our kind stand. Forget the whole media hype he gets. Not a match!

..why is Tinubu afraid of trump

lordm:
Is it that he and Obi has not sat down to discuss this before

Their Agenda is not the same.

Kwakwaso is only waiting for the opportunity to get closer to presidency. Kwakwaso doesn't see Obi as his boss in all areas of life endeavors.

Kwakwaso ideology is different from that of Obi. I, therefore don't see why there wouldn't be clashes between them. We've beginning to see the contradictions.

Peter Obi support State Police while kwakwaso prefer Hisbah both saying 2 different things as president and VP.

confusion everywhere in the camp of Saint obi…..Kwankwaso no even rate gringory this what happens when someone is so desperate to be president and make in road into the predominant Muslim north who rejected him at the polls in 2023……..obi was so desperate,he go carry wetin big pass am…..now, who is oga and who be the nwa boy

And after 21 days why is he violating the provisions of the constitution by refusing no cede power to his deputy? You won't care bout the constitution until its used against your interests

Obi and Kwankwaso need to talk to NDC and agree on a manifesto. Looks like Obi is the running mate at this stage. K is leading O is following. KO movement.

many votes did Atiku get in oyo in 2023? About 183k. With makinde on the ballot, atiku won't smell 10k votes..will Atiku win Bauchi state again with Bala in APM?

erniok:
The target voters with this furl subsidy return is the north. Kwankwaso wants a piece of this slice, after all, atiku aide contradicted him.

That’s the game . If the northern people are dumb enough to believe that petrol subsidy can be brought back. Why not flow with the tide as a politician?

What party was in power in Lagos when Obi won the state? If governors can automatically deliver their state, why did Umahi, Uzodinma, and Ben Ayade fail to deliver their states for Tinubu?

We produce crude , when the price of crude falls, the government complains and when the price increases, they still complain. either ways, we end up coming out worse.
Bad leaders is our problem

Kwankwaso did not contradict Obi in anyway. He is saying that with more refineries including state controlled refineries like you see in Brazil (Petrobras), Saudi (Aramco, Satorp), China (Sinopec), UAE (Ruwais), Algeria (Skikda).....and so many others. Angola is currently building 2 state-controlled refineries to make them net exporters of downstream products.

The over $10 billion being channeled to the unecessary Lagos-Coastal would have built 2 refineries of about 200,000 barels Refining capacity each.

Non of our contemporaries in oil and gas endowment left the space for business men like Dangote. The state controlled refineries act as a buffer, more or less as subsidy to allow the citizens benefit from the country's Endowment.

You can see that there is really something wrong with us as a nation, as a people

See eh, l'm lgbo, but given the choice of Obi or Kwankwaso, l will go for Kwankwa any day. Man seems way more strategic and consistent than Obi. Moreover, he's also very patient. If Obi had been patient enough back in 2023, he could have been planning to take over from Atiku in 2031, cus there was no way on earth Tinubu would have defeated them. A team that gave Buhari himself a run for his money back in 2019, talk more of Tinubu. But Obi allowed his ego and the likes of Pat Utomi, who works for Tinubu to deceive him. And that is why we were where we were today.

OriOko88:
Obi is a populist politician. And from all indications,populist politicians don't make good leaders. They're always seeking to please everybody.

Kwankwaso Shud hv been the presidential candidate and Obi,the vice. Doest have any credentials of a sagacious leader.

Excellent analysis here!

I have said this severally, Kwakwanso is more presidential than Obi.

Every great President has the gut to make critical decisions.....Not Obi. Obi is a ppl pleaser. My Northern kinfolks will just be swinging him up and down, left and center.

It will be the first time in Nigerian history that a VP will be running Nigeria while the President is just ceremonious.

Just a mere look at both of them and you will know who is the Oga and who is the Houseboy.

Is Tinubu's whereabout the reason why his oppositions are still confused. Imagine a presidential candidate's running mate making a statement that differs from the presidential candidate himself and you call them serious people? When they loose the election i trust you all will still blame Tinubu.

Kwankwaso is just like those old politicians, example of someone who went to campaign in a riverine area he took canoe boat for two hours to arrive in the community but when he started his campaign he said " if am voted in as president my government will tarred all the roads that leads to your community


Saying government will build more refinery is pure illusion and fat LIE

Their numbers still far better than states (Enugu and Abia) not controlled by APC. APC got just 5,000 votes in Enugu and around 8k in Abia.

But I thought Wike said the G5 worked for Tinubu. Why did the 3 of them that contested for senate (Ugwanyi, Ikpeazu and Ortom) all lose their election bid? If they couldn't deliver themselves, how can they deliver Tinubu?

They all lost their states but that was not the question. Why did all 3 of them lose their senatorial bid if the G5 governors were that powerful?
