I didn't think the current president has equally held past presidents as an excuse.

And on the issue of tribe, I think that's no longer important. You can see the 2026 atmosphere is different from 2023.

Are the people of Yola and its government also Yoruba? Is Soludo and his gang also Yoruba? Let's shun tribalism, please.

Do everything within your power to campaign for your candidate, but resorting to the tribal card isn't the way to go.

It is not your naira but today's naira...

Naira of your era was ₦150 to a dollar while today it is ₦1300 to a dollar.

Ask Obasanjo and Atiku to account for or refund our $16 Billion they spent on Electricity. Then, we will take him seriously.
Still better than your slave master.
Your slave master is extremely corrupt than them.

Stop reasoning inappropriately. Where is Otti getting the money that he is spending? Someone that you so much hate is receiving the stick for your Otti's success.

Return subsidy and bring back multiple exchange rates and you will see Otti become a mediocre. Otti knows this and that's why he's a staunch supporter of PBAT.

Tinubu has decided to take the stick to make governance easy for all the tiers of government.

Was OBJ not in government as military head of state? Was he not president for eight years? Did he tackle the subsidy corruption? Did he bring the refineries back? Where we not experiencing fuel scarcity under him?

This old abeokuta man should go and rest abeg

Obj was president for 8 years what did we get except stories of how Atiku sold NEPA for $120 million instead of $3 billion and you open your eyes for that to happen then later complained about Atiku when you were the leader, that's a sign of being irresponsible

PBAT is generating serious revenue for Nigeria you want to tell him how to spend it. His nonsense Ogun state is having so many development deficiency but instead of this old man to connect Ogun govt to Lagos govt to see what they can do together for Ogun to develop he is here advising his enemy.

Church mugu and obidiotts will keep praising him since they are together brainlesss

Wow so what's stopping edo state governor, kogi state governor, Delta state governor and other governors from from working.... Or is it not the same thing obj is saying ?

Why will you continue giving out money when you're not capable of managing it and asking for accountability from the people you gave money to ?

You see that every governor knows that tulumbu can't ask them what happened to the money they were given because they know what tulumbu is doing too.... .. you're just defending a bad regime with hope they'll increase your monthly 30k to 35k naira.... continue

Ask baba Obasanjo where he kept the $16 billion meant to give Nigerians stable electricity.
We know you have spent it like a drunken sailor.
God will judge you and baba Atiku.
We would have had one of the most stable electricity in Africa if this baba and baba Atiku have not embezzled our $16 billion.

Did the past governors got the kind of money Tinubu removal of subsidy is giving to Otti? If you believe Otti is doing well then his success is because of Tinubu policy so if other governors are not doing as well as Otti it is not Tinubu's fault but the governor's fault.

If you don't understand this logic or cannot admit it because of hatred then na your wahala be dat not Nigeria’s.

Anybody that says that he can remove corruption from subsidy before removing subsidy or so that he can continue to pay subsidy is just daft and naive.

If Tinubu wins this election, he would have shown everyone the playbook on how to win elections even if the masses have not felt your impact. Just use the state coffers to buy all Governors and the election is yours…

So says a man who spent money on buying girlfriends cars instead of fixing roads.
This old cargo should pls be quiet.
Some of you might have poor memories or are ignorant of how this man spent Nigerians money on girlfriends while even thr road leading to Otta was so bad that people were taking hours just to get through.
Baba Iyabo should not be telling people how to govern.
You are the old cargo na.

Baba is saying the truth, at his age, he has nothing to fear again so whatever he says is the truth.

OBASANJO WHERE IS THE $16 BILLION YOU CLAIMED TO USE TO FIX POWER SUPPLY IN NIGERIA?

YOU ARE THE DRUNKEN SAILOR WHO STOLE $16 BILLION AND CAN'T ACCOUNT FOR IT.


THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT LOOTED AND DESTROYED THIS ECONOMY.

NOW PLAYING SAINT.

OBASANJO SHUT UP!!!!!

OLD MAN THAT REFUSES TO RESPECT HIS OLD AGE!

PDP YOUR PARTY DESTROYED THIS ECONOMY.

TINUBU IS SIMPLY CLEANING UP THE MESS YOU CRIMINALS LEFT BEHIND.

HOW COULD NIGERIA GROW WITH AN ARTIFICIAL TWO-TIER CURRENCY SYSTEM?

WHAT COUNTRY ON EARTH DOES THAT?

TELL US, OBASANJO. MR DRUNKEN SAILOR.

COMPANIES WITH CONNECTIONS WERE SIMPLY BUYING DOLLARS CHEAP FROM CBN AND SELLING HIGH ON THE BLACK MARKET. IN ARBITRAGE.

NO PRODUCTION WAS TAKING PLACE, WHILE FUEL SUBSIDIES ATE UP HALF OUR ANNUAL BUDGET.

THAT'S THE NIGERIA YOU PDP CROOKS LEFT BEHIND.

AND THEN THE OTHER DAY YOU SAID TINUBU "DEVALUED THE CURRENCY".

WHAT "CURRENCY"?

WHAT "VALUE"?

ALL HE DID WAS END YOUR PDP MONEY SHARING AMONG THE ELITE, WITH ZERO PRODUCTIVITY OR JOB CREATION.

PLUS EMPTY TREASURY ON TOP.

USELESS.

OH SURE, TINUBU JUST WOKE UP AND SAID "LET ME MAKE NIGERIANS SUFFER, BECAUSE I JUST LOVE TO SEE THEM SUFFER".

NONSENSE.

NOTHING MORE THAN YOU ARE JEALOUS THAT TINUBU IS ACTUALLY SUCCEEDING IN REVIVING THE ECONOMY AND TAKING IT TO HEIGHTS YOU NEVER DID - WITHOUT FUEL SUBSIDY AND WITH A MARKET BASED CURRENCY SYSTEM THAT ENABLES BUSINESSES TO PLAN, STABILISED BY OUR FOREIGN RESERVES NOW APPROACHING $60 BILLION.

MEANING THE CURRENCY IS SOLID NOW, AND INFLATON RATE IS NOW FALLING.

FOREIGN INVESTORS POURING IN NOW BECAUSE THEY CAN SEE WHAT TINUBU HAS DONE.

NO MORE UNPREDICTABLE CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS.

THAT'S THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR ANY ECONOMY - A STABLE CURRENCY.

EVEN IF IT IS "DEVALUED" SO LONG AS IT'S THE SINGLE, STABLE CURRENCY OF THE COUNTRY, COMPANIES WILL COME IN AND PRODUCE THE JOBS THAT WILL ENABLE PEOPLE TO AFFORD A DECENT LIVING STANDARD BASED AROUND THAT CURRENCY.

THEN IN TIME, THE CURRENCY VALUE RISES, BASED ON THE GROWING DEMAND FOR NAIRA AS ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES EXPLODE.

WHICH IS WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

E SHOCK YOU, ABI, OBASANJO?

SAME OLD OBASANJO.

ALWAYS WANTS TO BE THE ONE SEEN AS "THE BEST".

TINUBU IS SHOWING THAT HE IS BETTER THAN YOU. GROWING THE ECONOMY THE WAY OTHER GREAT ECONOMIES GREW THEIRS. LIKE SINGAPORE, INDIA, CHINA. ETC.

BASED ON REAL VALUE AND PRODUCTIVITY.

NOT TOP-DOWN IMPOSITION OF FAKE "VALUE".

WAS IT NOT LAST WEEK IMF RELEASED THE LIST OF FASTEST GROWING ECONOMIES AMONG THE MAJOR COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD?

NUMBER 1 INDIA.

NUMBER 2 CHINA

NUMBER 3 NIGERIA.

SHOULD I POST THE LINK?

DARE ME!

NONSENSE!! angry

NA WETIN DEY PAIN YOU, OBASANJO!

THAT'S WHY YOU CAME OUT WITH THIS!

MR DRUNKEN SAILOR!
Please speak to issues.

He just raised an issue about your principal so speak to it and stop chasing poles in the opposite direction.

Stop talking trash.... Good governance in abia state has nothing to do with tulumbu, he could've chosen to steal the money like other governors currently but he didn't.... So what's stopping tulumbu from running a competent government like Otti.... ?
