Not just that, we should have even let them remove the subsidy back in 1993

But Nigerians have always said no. Even this 2023 removal was because we were at the end of the line...most nigerians still said no.

Hezzyluv:
Them for allow Jonathan remove this subsidy of a thin, we don ballance by now.

President Bola Tinubu on Sunday sent warm birthday wishes to Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, commending his “integrity, modesty, humility and commitment to public service.”
Tinubu conveyed his felicitations in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

Sunday’s birthday message comes hours after Yusuf’s highly anticipated defection from the New Nigeria Peoples Party to the APC, originally scheduled for Monday, January 5, 2026, his 63rd birthday, was postponed to January 12.

In the statement, Tinubu lavished praise on the Kano governor, highlighting his infrastructural achievements and commitment to grassroots development.

“Governor Yusuf’s leadership experience, particularly his years as commissioner, managing strategic portfolios in Kano State, may have prepared him for the kind of infrastructural changes now witnessed in the state,” the President said.

“He has embarked on urban renewal programmes, building bridges and road networks, including five-kilometre roads in each local government in the state,” he added.

Tinubu also noted improvements in Kano’s education sector, stating,

“I also understood that his declaration of emergency in education has engendered a marked improvement in the performance of Kano students in NECO exams.”

The President described Kano as “the bastion of progressive politics in the North,” adding that Yusuf’s regime “re-echoes the commitment to grassroots development and ameliorating the plight of the Talakawas as championed by the late Mallam Aminu Kano.”

Reports indicate that at least 25 out of 27 NNPP members of the Kano State House of Assembly, including Speaker Yusuf Falgore, have endorsed the governor’s planned defection, along with a significant number of local government chairmen

A source close to the governor revealed that Yusuf requested additional time during a meeting with Vice President Kashim Shettima in Abuja on Friday to further consult with state legislators and key stakeholders who have yet to fully commit to the move.

The planned defection has created a rift between Yusuf and his political godfather, NNPP national leader, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, who has reportedly expressed disappointment at the development.

Kwankwaso questioned the insistence on having Kano’s governor defect to the APC, arguing that doing so would strip the Kwankwasiyya movement of its only executive stronghold.

He suggested that if the governor was determined to leave, those encouraging the move should also be prepared to have him relinquish the governorship.

The NNPP state chairman, Hashimu Dungurawa, appealed to Yusuf to remain with the party, warning that defecting to the APC would betray the mandate given to him by voters who elected him on the NNPP ticket.

However, Kano State APC Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, formally invited Yusuf to join the ruling party, saying the APC was ready to receive him “with open arms so that, together, we can pool our strengths for the progress and stability of Kano State”.

Yusuf is currently the NNPP’s only sitting governor nationwide.

His defection to the APC may neutralise the governorship ambition of Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, who has been aspiring for the APC ticket to contest against Yusuf in the 2027 polls.

The same Chagoury was sent away from Nigeria by obasanjo because of his very corrupt tendency
All I can say about Tinubu is he has audacity ,he can get away with blue murder, he understands this country like the back of his hands

chiagozien:
God bless Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.


God bless IPOB

Osiris12:
I meant the terrorists that killed over 200 in benue and over 30killed yesterday in Niger state.

Oga rest, you’ve lost the battle and the war

Osiris12:

SeverusSnape:
Just a normal day in Nigeria. Terrorists are the new sheriff in town.

Osiris12:
see what your principal has been reduced to

Fear God

givedemwotowoto:
But you’re the one who opened a thread with buckets of tears. Stop projecting 🤡

Osiris12:
START YOUR OWN FORUM or GO TO COURT.

I hope you can see that clearly now

givedemwotowoto:
You decided to come to a public forum and play victim with lies, but we already know who you are. Nobody is surprised, you Agbadorians praised Buhari as the best for 8 straight years, then condemned him as the worst soon after he left office.

Nothing can top that other than denying and trying to cover up genocide on your own people for political interests.

Tueh!

helinues:
But I have mentioned Ipob on this thread without getting banned.

What I noticed is, some words have been blacklisted most especially when you quote someone. No matter how you twist it, as long as you are quoting someone, it's automatic banning

helinues:
If you add s to the Ipob, it will change to another thing. Stick with Ipob without adding s

Osiris12:
go to court or start your own tribalistic forum. Nobody here owes you anything

givedemwotowoto:
Obidients have been called names. The problem with Agbadorians is they go into offensive tribal territory. They want to force everyone into politics of tribe which is beneath the rules of engagement

Don’t you have another strategy to win elections other than denigrate a tribe? How about showing Nigerians what your boss has achieved that has changed their lives for the better?

OredoPikin2:
They asked him about building a primary and secondary school.

He built 10 nursing hospitals and built chukwuemenka ojukwu university igbariam campus from scratch
I know you know but u must justify the peanuts they are paying u to defend them🤣
I understand the job is difficult for you guys.
But u guys need to change strategy. You no longer control the media to dish out lies unchallenged. That time has past and u guys are yet to come to terms with it, reason why u keep repeating same lies hoping it will stick one day😂😂

Back to Eko Atlantic city project
Tinubu announced commencement of work in April 2007, just less than a month to the expiration of his tenure😁, meanwhile he had a whole 4 to 5yrs from conception and didn't do anything on it.
I know a cunning man when i see one.
A complete gbajue😂

Anyways he announced it, yet actual work started February 2008 and that was Fashola time and fashola could have decided to channel the resources into his personl pocket like Tinubu did for 5yrs from conception of the project

Now, who is the real Gbajue failure here?😂
I know you know, but u must work for your payment.
Epele oo

yarimo:
One mod here is good at banning any comments against IPOB terrorists that same mod is very good at posting fake false news against TINUBU or WIKE to front page

Osiris12:
nobody owes you any explanation. Go to court

givedemwotowoto:
A subtle reminder that you know what you did, you know why you were banned. Stop 🤡

Agbadorians and chameleon behavior

OredoPikin2:
Lolz
I love the deviation🤣
Tinubu spent a whole 4yrs from 2003 to 2007 without dropping a sand in Eko Atlantic city project.
Fashola could have decided to abandoned the project and loot the state like Tinubu abandoned it for good for 4yrs and instead was concern with signing pension law for himself😂
Again,
U are only deceiving yourself boy.

Tinubu and lucky Igbinedion na the same category them dey
No single legacy but renaming institutions, borrowing to loot and taxing Lagosians to poverty
Which exactly what he is doing now😂

OBI built a university from scratch

Built a teaching hospital.

Built many nursing schools.

Built secretariats

Started the airport project.

Created enabling environment for many companies to come invest

Invested for the future of the state

Took education from 26th to 1st

Made Anambra the safest state in Nigeria during his time
During his time, Anambra has the highest rural road networks

I can go on and on

He was constantly competing with fashola as the best governor during their time in any governor award despite Anambra having resources and allocation 10 times less of that of fashola Lagos.

Again
U can continue the self deception thinking u can whine anybody 🤣

givedemwotowoto:
Agbadorians are not a tribe, they are a political group of people in Nigeria loyal to a known heroin trafficker masquerading as a politician.

On the other hand, IPOB is a proscribed group in Nigeria. I just mentioned it, right?

You know what you did, you know why you were banned, stop clowning.
