*Disturbing Signals: Your Govt Has Crashed Our Expectations - Lukman To Tinubu*

Lukman is an APC Chieftain and immediate past National Vice Chairman (North-West) of the Party in

Disturbing Signals:
Open Letter to President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu

Salihu Moh. Lukman
C/o All Progressives Congress
North-West Zonal Office
Kaduna

Your Excellency, I find it very compelling to send this open letter to you because there are disturbing signals, which if not averted could produce bigger problems and irreversibly destroy our electoral viability as a party. These are issues bordering on whether as a leader, you will be accessible based on which party members and, by extension, Nigerians can influence your decisions as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Noting that democracy is founded on the principles of representation, it is expected that being an elected President, your decisions should be representative of the interest of Nigerians.

Without attempting to question your authority and commitment to the wellbeing of Nigeria as a nation, within the short period since May 29, 2023 when you assumed office, there are decisions you took, which are very disturbing to many of us who are loyal party members. As loyal party members, we did not only support you to win the 2023 elections, but we have strong belief that your leadership is what our dear country needed at this critical period of our political development.

Perhaps, it is important to highlight that I am making this letter open because having resigned my position as a member of the APC National Working Committee (NWC), I don’t want to make any claim of having access to you in whatever form. Even as NWC member, it was almost impossible to access you after winning the election. Now, given that I resigned because I disagreed with your decision to nominate Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje to emerge as the National Chairman of APC, I don’t expect you to be amenable to meeting a “protestant” like me.

To be honest, making Dr. Ganduje National Chairman of APC is the first disturbing signal. Many party members are yet to recover from that shock. With all the uncleared corruption allegation against Dr. Ganduje, you opted to nominate him to become the National Chairman of the party even when Article 31.5(i) of the constitution of APC clearly gave Nasarawa State Executive Committee the power to nominate who should replace Sen. Abdullahi Adamu Given that Sen. Umaru Tanko Al-Makura is from Nasarawa State, and he has been very loyal to you, it was scandalous that you will opt for Dr. Ganduje with all the baggage of corruption allegation against him. Recall that before the March 2022 APC National Convention, Sen. Al-Makura aspired to become APC National Chairman and President Buhari was influenced to nominated Sen. Adamu over Sen. Al-Makura partly because he was alleged to be loyal (to) you, it defies every logical reasoning that you will ignore provision of Article 31.5(i) to nominate Dr. Ganduje even when the same provision of the constitution was used to nominate Sen. Basiru Ajibola from Osun State as replacement of Sen. Iyiola Omisore.

The emergence of Dr. Ganduje as National Chairman of APC send the disturbing signal of being weakly committed to fighting corruption. This is very troubling and is neither representative of the interest of APC members, nor is it representative of the wider interest of Nigerians. If our democracy is to develop to the point of being capacitated to resolve our national challenges, the commitment of our leaders to fighting corruption must never be in doubt.

That our leaders in APC accepted the emergence of Dr. Ganduje as APC National Chairman without much resistance produces the second disturbing signal. This is because the absence of resistance was more a reflection of fear, whic is the new reality in APC. Once leaders and members of APC continue to feel threatened that when they express opposition against your decision, we may end up with the bigger danger of creating a police state. This may not arise from any conscious decision coming from you but will be produced from circumstances of having to rationalise or enforce your decisions, which may not be acceptable to party members and citizens. In fact, the first casualties of such reality will be fellow party members.

Largely because of the atmosphere of fear surrounding the emergence of Dr. Ganduje as National Chairman, the wider debate of using the vacancies created to respond to the challenge of inclusivity given that we won the 2023 election with a Muslim-Muslim ticket was lost. Rather than even attempting to respond to that challenge and demonstrate that truly we only invoke the Muslim-Muslim ticket as an electoral strategy, in a very insensitive manner we imposed another Muslim-Muslim scenario in the party with National Chairman and National Secretary both Muslims. And we want to claim we are a progressive party? What is the brand of our progressive politics? Certainly, not the one which Nigerians expect, which endears us to citizens on account of which Nigerians gave us the mandate to manage the affairs of government since 2015.

The third disturbing signal is the quality of your appointees. Sincerely, Your Excellency, throughout the 2023 electoral campaigns, one of the strong campaign points was that you know how to find talents. When it took you more than eight weeks to nominate your Ministers, the belief was that you are taking your time to identify indisputably proficient people. With due respect to all those you nominated, many party members and extension Nigerians were disappointed. It is clear to any discerning mind that political consideration eclipsed any other factor, definitely no argument about talent can be sustained. As it is, both as party members and as Nigerians, our expectation from your government has crashed.

This leads us to the fourth disturbing signal, which is about the management of policy process. When in your inaugural address you declared that petroleum subsidy is gone, it gave many of us the confidence that you have assumed office ready to take all the hard decisions and initiate measures for accelerated national development. Of course, no one expect that process of accelerated development will produce immediate results. But many of us expect that the details of initiatives will be clear and will not be reduced to propaganda. As things are, Nigerians are still waiting to know what the agenda of Government is with respect to managing the downstream oil sector beyond saving the amount of money that used to be expended for subsidy payments.

The second issue related to management of policy initiatives is the exchange rate of the Naira. Some of us expect that decisions around exchange rate will be integral part of broader economic policy of government. Now, it would appear that isolated decision has been taken to float the Naira without any clear economic policy. The consequence is that the Naira is on a downward swing. Combined with rising cost of transport as a result of withdrawal of subsidy the inflationary pressure on the economy is very high. As a result, living condition is getting worse. At this rate, poverty incidence will be terribly high, beyond any rational expectations.

Mr. President, you need to urgently address these disturbing signals coming early in your tenure. No one should deceive you into believing that party members and leaders, and by extension Nigerians are not worried with all these disturbing signals. It will be a disservice to your leadership and to our people if we don’t bring these to your attention. You need to act fast to start correcting these disturbing signals before they become defining attributes of your administration and by extension our party. It is either you correct them, or we sign off any prospect of winning any future election.

I am confident that your indisputable commitment to progressive politics will be activated at this early period of your leadership to correct all these disturbing signals. Both as Nigerians and loyal APC members, we believe in your capacity to provide fair leadership. It is our hope that you are still committed to the founding vision of APC, which is progressive politics. And as someone who was in the trenches fighting for democracy in Nigeria, our expectation is that under your leadership, democracy will achieve its representative credentials, based on which the ability of Nigerians to influence your decisions will be high. This is only possible is you take appropriate steps to correct all the disturbing signals arising from decisions taken directly by you. May Allah (SWT) continue to guide you and hopefully through that ensure that it is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the progressive politician that will rule Nigeria for the next four years! Amin!!!

Nigerian Naira Drops to Record as Black-Market Dollar Rate Soars

Naira weakens to 917 per dollar on the street on Wednesday

Official and black-market exchange rates part ways once more

The Nigerian naira extended its slump in black-market trading as the nation’s dollar shortage deepened two months after the central bank moved to a more flexible exchange rate to encourage inflows.

The currency of Africa’s biggest crude oil producer weakened to 917 naira per dollar, compared with 900 naira the day before, according to Umar Salisu, a bureau de change operator who tracks currency data in the nation’s commercial capital. Banks are unable to come up with the dollars to meet demand, and buyers are increasingly turning to the black market, widening the gap between the official exchange.

The Ondo State Police Command on Sunday confirmed the arrest of a man, Franklin Akinyosoye, for being in possession of a human skull in Ondo town, Ondo State.
The suspect, who is a photographer, was said to have been arrested in the Elewuro area of the community.
He was said to have claimed ownership of the human skull.


According to police, Akinrosoye put the skull in a bag and kept it in a corner on the premises of the house but his landlord discovered the bag and reported the matter at a police station, leading to the arrest of the
suspect.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Funmilayo Odunlami who confirmed the incident, said the suspect confessed to having collected the human part from a herbalist in Osun State.

The PPRO said, “One Franklin Akinyosuyi, male, 26 years who claimed to be a photographer and own a boutique in Ondo town was challenged by his landlord for keeping a bag in a corner of the compound.

” The landlord became suspicious and asked the young man to open the bag, and when he did, a human skull was found in the bag, thereafter he was arrested, he claimed it was given to him by a native doctor in
Osun State to enhance his business.”



Odunlami said the command had begun Investigation into the matter and confirmed that the suspect was in police custody.


Meanwhile, a source in the area said it was a human head that was discovered in a black sack inside the suspect’s compound by some teenagers who are children of the landlord. The source narrated that the
children later raised the alarm before the matter was reported by their father at the station.


The source said, “When a search operation was conducted by the police in the apartment of the suspect, several human parts and other items suspected to be charms and human blood were also discovered in the
apartment by the police.”


“When interrogated by the police at the station, the suspect exonerated the landlord and claimed the ownership of all the items found in his possession.
“He further explained that he brought all the items from his herbalist who resides in Ikirun, Ifelodun local government area of Osun State.”

Your concern should be on the deteriorating trend of Nigeria economy.
Dollar rate is now #900 to $1.
Price of commodity is excessively out of reach.
Petrol price is about to go up, as a result of current value of dollar rate.
Unemployment rate is at its lowest elbow.
The earlier you guys desist from supporting these greedy and wicked politicians, the earlier Nigeria begin to function for benefits of all irrespective of political leaning or social statue.

A 29-year-old Lagos State e-hailing driver and accounting graduate, Adeniran Jerimiah, was arrested for robbing a female passenger.

Jerimiah was arrested in a shop in the Ikotun area of the state while trying to purchase an item. He was recognised by one of his former victims who was in the same shop at that particular time and alerted the public. He claimed the hike in fuel price as a result of the removal of fuel subsidy pushed him into robbing.

Olodo, he shouid have put CNG buses and gas stations in place before removing subsidy?.. abeg who curse una with poor brain?. This projects is long term and subsidy money is being used to make it happen. Do you want him to keep paying those subsidy thieves for like minimum of 8months?. If he keeps paying those thieves, they'd sabotage this gas project like they sabotaged the refineries.

Stop insulting.
He was saying that APC government, under Buhari ought to have made provisions that will ameliorate subsidy removal.
Since they were away that subsidy will not be sustained beyond June 2023, they suppose to have started construction of CNG gas stations as early as 2nd quarter of 2022. If they had done this, the resultant effect of subsidy removal would have been minimal.
Where finance is an impeding factor, it can as well be outsource, just as they sourced externally, $800m conditional cash transfer.
The earlier we tell truth to power, the better our country.

Says subsidy removal makes life difficult
Shina Abubakar, Osogbo

Coalition of Civil Society organisations in Osun state on Monday protested against the rising cost of living across the country.


The group lamented that the rise in the cost of living as a result of the removal of fuel subsidies has made living difficult for the masses due to the hard economic situation.


Addressing the masses at different points while moving through the town, the convener, Waheed Lawal called on the Federal Government to reverse the hike in fuel prices, saying the masses deserve decent living.

He condemned what he described as the commercialisation of education and the non-provision of palliatives to the masses amidst suffering.

“As Nigerians, God has blessed us with everything we need to live a dignified life but we have bad leaders who don’t care about us. Every human needs food, water, clothing, shelter, and sleep.

“The rising cost of living is gradually taking away our dignity; average Nigerians cannot afford to eat twice daily or fuel their vehicles again. The cost of food is high, and the cost of public education is getting higher, and job opportunity is declining everyday”, he said.

A leader of the group, Ayo Ologun, said the current economic hardship has further pushed many Nigerians to poverty, saying Nigeria is in multidimensional crisis.

His words, “The current economic hardship has pushed millions of Nigerians to poverty; the middle class has fallen; the rich are getting poor and the poor are getting poorer. Indeed, Nigeria is in a multidimensional crisis. There is no sense in any reform that strangulates the prosperity of the common people. Every reform must have a human face!

The protesters, who converged at Ayetoro, moved through Igbonna, Olonkoro, Old-Garage, Oke-Fia, and Alekuwodo and terminate the procession at Olaiya under the bridge.

They also carried placards with inscriptions such as; #ThePoorAreNotBreathing, #CutTheCostOfGovernance, “We are poor, We are hungry”, “We can’t breathe! Our leaders don’t care”, etc.

Touch any property in SW, u go die like fowl. I couldn't care less if you burn down southeast, Ogun punish peter obi.

Protesting members of the Nigeria Labour Congress, in Oyo State, disrupted activities at the State Secretariat, Agodi as their ongoing protest continued on Tuesday.

Some civil servants who ignored the directives of the labour union to join the protest were however not spared as some of them were beaten and chased out of their offices.

A civil servant was reportedly injured in the process after he was attacked by the protesters.

The victim who was bruised in his legs claimed to have entered the office to pick up some of his belongings when he was confronted by the protesters.



The aggrieved labour activists barricaded the entrance to the secretariat complex as they wielded sticks to enforce the strike action. This also affected the flow of vehicular traffic along the area.

The protest started on Monday with the workers demanding payment of leave bonus, payment of gratuities to retirees that had been delayed since 2021 and release of promotion letters for 2021 and 2022.

The protesting workers also alleged that Governor Seyi Makinde had refused to yield to their demands.

All these happening just a few days after a supposedly Head of State announced that no coup will happen ever again in West Africa.

No body takes a thief serious.
He commands no respect, he represents everything bad.
See the level of hardship in country, less than two months in office. He is a monumental failure, clueless and corrupt infected fellow that shouldn't have any contact with anything leadership.

ndi developers can't develop singapore now

Inform Tinubu not to near Singapore.
They aren't like America that value lives.
Neither will they agree on monetary forfeiture.
He should no his boundaries.

Cool. One thing that is still vexing me and my Guys it that buying Fuel for higher price is totally unacceptable! Unfortunately, many are too gullible that they have been mentally Deceived by the Invaders that believed that they can always easily Manipulate Indigenous Nigerians even when they are not the President. This is a chance for the to Prove that most Nigerians can Read handwritings of those behind the Sceneof the current Nigerians Sufferings or not.

Have you heard the latest Confession from that Man that is close to the Fualni NNPC Controllers?!!! Pls, share here and on all Social Media if you have the Link to the Video and Audio. The man exposed that Tinubu was emphasizing just before Subsidy Removal that the new Price should be N400 and which he said was also guaranteed to gradually come down to N150 or less through Marketing Deregulation. Unfortunately, the Fulani Cabals that hated that their Nigeria Trillions that they've stolen in Name of Subsidy has been stopped have chosen to do exactly the Opposite since they are still in Charge of NNPC. You and I also watched how their Thieving Petroleum Vessels are being Bombed since Tinubu came in. All these made them to still Jack up the Price of Petrol again just to make the Nigerian Masses to hate Tinubu that is Fighting the Cabals Tooth and Nail to Liberate the Jugular of Nigerians' Future from their Stranglehold! Did you know that Fulanis has more than 80% of all the Existing Oil Wells in Nigeria?!!! Even though they had no Petroleum in any of their States. So, you can imagine the massive Power they weldge over the Industry because Nigerians refused to be Courageous and Unite against them in the Past. Tinubu can not Fight this Battle alone, at least he has stopped them from Killing Indigenous Original Nigerian People all over Nigeria in the Name of Herdmen! Let's Support him with every Fiber of our Being to Win this Battle for all Indigenous Nigerians!!!

You and I used to say we could Fight Fulani Satanic Plans of Enslaving Indigenous Nigerians when Buhari and his Fualni Brothers were in Power for most times since Independence. Now that we have a Southerner, how do you think he can Speedily help Destroy and Reverse their Slavery from over Nigeria when you are so gullibly Deceived to hate him that is Fighting tooth and Nail to make all Indigenous Nigerian enjoy our Fatherland without being Enslaved and even brutally Killed by these so called heartless beasts called Fuulanis?!

I knew this! My friends were discussing it with me yesterday, Tinubu is not a Wicked Soul that would increase Price for 2nd Time within such a short Time! I knew the evil ones that still top NNPC are trying to get the Masses to hate Tinubu, but they shall miserable Fail again in Jesus' Powerful Name as they Failed miserably in their Satanic bid to stop the Great Man from becoming President!

All what you wrote here is an attestation that Tinubu is incapacitated, and dont have the capacity, integrity and intelligence to arrest the ugly development bedevilling this country, which have derailed development in all sectors. Nigerians are suffering, many households can barely feed their families, yet national assembly has budgeted 70 billion for themselves.
Tinubu don't have the ball, he is too corrupt to effect any meaningful changes.
This was a man that organized protest at Ojota in 2012, when Goodluck Jonathan wanted to remove subsidy, where fuel will be sold 140 naira a liter. He deceived the gullible minded and targged subsidy as a scam that never existed.
What Tinubu targged a scam(subsidy) that never existed, is what he had removed.
Tinubu is a scam, a monumental failure.

Throwback:
It is not an increase, it is market forces at play as advocated by Oby Ezekwesili.



Did Tinubu leading the opposition in 2012, burn government houses?

Better start your anarchy protest in Anambra State that is home to the opposition Peter Obi, just as Tinubu did is own protest in his own Lagos State.

Operatives of INTERPOL in Nigeria have arrested one Abayomi Segun Oluwasesan, who hacked his company’s blockchain and made away with approximateky $87m. He was working at Afriq Arbitrage System, a global crypto space, was arrested earlier in the week alongside his accomplice.
He was employed by the company on June 15, 2022 to work as a web developer and hacked the platform at a time when his boss, Jesam Micheal went for a liver transplant and entrusted the codes to him all because his boss entrusted him with the sensitive data for the smooth operations of the company and ended up stealing about $87 million which he spent flamboyantly.

He opened a car dealership known as Fidoray Autos and imported over 30 exotic wonders on wheels. He also brought a house and acquired a residence permits in the U.K., same as Tanzania Dubai, UAE. One of the plazas he acquired in Lagos was to the tune of N450 million, landed properties around Dangote refineries to the tune of N1 billion, and splashed a billion naira on the interior decoration of his hotel in Mainland, Lagos State. He was traveling across the globe with investors’ money on first-class tickets.

Unfortunately, this criminal and dubious activity by him literally cr@shed the lucrative platform on the May 15, 2023 sending the man back to square one..

This is disheartening. And outside the physical assets, the man may not get back his lost money as well as his clients money. People can be bad!!

What a backward state with no hope of when the suffering will end. The level of poverty and abnormality happening in South East these days is alarming. 🙄

Imagine, Sitting on the floor to write exam in 21st century. This is one the reason why many south East youths give up on education and start dealing with drugs.😂


I don't blame them though. I now clearly see the reason why most of south East youths are filled with hatred and criminalism.

They fill all prison all over the world.

The government should do something ASAP, this is not the Nigeria we want.

I remember when this mumu moved to the camel’s League last season, Messi didn’t utter a word, cos he’s not in other people’s business. This clown can’t hide his jealousy anymore, cos Leo recently moved to the MLS suddenly in his myopic mind Desert league is better than MLS lmao.

He also took a shot at the European league, yet his team was just demolished by a struggling Spanish mid table team Celta Vigo. 🤣😂

Blud thinks he influenced other players to come to the camel’s league, someone should wake this dunce up that they came for the money, Abi na him Dey pay em. Who doesn’t like free money, expect Leo wey turn down a Saudi’s club offer, wey surpass the one wey e Dey earn at Nasiru fc.

Messi don already dwarf this modafucka, his greatest achievement in his footballing career will be “He was compared to Leo Messi”.

Same with his delude fan base here on Nairaland and Twitter bots.

Aba Geometric Power Plant To Come On Stream In Sept — Nnaji

THE Geometric Power plant has concluded plans to
come on stream, adding 188 megawatts, MW of
electricity to Nigeria’s output in September this year.
The Chairman of the company and former Minister of
Power, Prof. Bart Nnaji, said the plant, located at
Osisioma Industrial Layout in Aba, Abia State, will add
much value to the nation’s economy.


Speaking at the First African Continental Free Trade
Area (AfCFTA) Market Opportunities Conference,
holding at the Technology Incubation Centre in Aba,
organised by the Continental Export Import (CONEX)
Limited, Prof. Nnaji, said: “Starting with one of its four
General Electric brand turbines, the second will come
on stream once the performance of the first turbine is
declared satisfactory by the team of engineers led by
KSE Energy of Turkey and Engineer Ben Caven, a
former executive director of the National Electric
Power Authority (NEPA) reputed to be the only person
to have run the generation, engineering and
transmission divisions of the state-owned utility.


“The generation of electricity from the Geometric
Power plant will be a game changer in the
socioeconomic development of not just Aba city but
nine out of the 17 local government areas in Abia State
serviced by Aba Power, a member of Geometric
group”, Nnaji declared today to wildly cheering
participants at the First African Continental Free Trade
Area (AfCFTA) Market Opportunities Conference
holding at the Technology Incubation Centre in Aba,
organised by the Continental Export Import (CONEX)
Ltd.


“We have completed building four brand new power
substations and refurbishing three substations inherited
from the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN),
in addition to providing thousands of kilometres of
cables and wires, as well as world-class tubular poles
available in only highly industrialised cities such as
Tokyo in Japan and San Francisco in California.”


He added: “All that remains now is to provide fuel or
gas to the Geometric Power plant through the 27-
kilometre gas pipeline from Owaza in Ukwa West LGA
in Abia State to the Osisioma Industrial Layout.”
