wow that guy looks thoroughly unimpressed by all that rigmarolling.
And the touching touching. Dude doesnt know oyinbo people in these offices read a lot of body language.

Lets just say his speech and actions is not that of someone that can even be recruited into the ECFR organization as an intern, not to talk of a nations presidential candidate.

Character is like smoke. Eventually people will see you for exactly who you are. In this case, an empty suit.

greatiyk4u:
VAT and production related directly?
Typical of Tinubu supporter
The location of VAT collected at the point of production instead of consumption can not be accurately determined, hence, the data you are seeing here

"Hunger is the most honest measure of economic performance because it cannot be manipulated not VAT paper statistics. Until fewer Nigerians go to bed hungry, until poverty begins to fall instead of rise, and until every Nigerian family especially in the alleged highly VAT collected states can once again afford three decent meals a day and stop the embarrassing public begging and constituting nuisance, every claim of economic success through high VAT collection will remain unrecognisable to the people whose lives those statistics are supposed to improve,”

Stop throwing around beer parlour jargon and speak coherently.

Na city boys campaign wey Seyi Tinubu dey do don rubbish Obi like this o.

APC has not even started their campaign.

Door to door is coming. Una go lose votes ehn.

are they just knowing obi is a boy, doing social media drama for them.

Cant they see the advisors that follow him around, Mama Pee and co wey no get any job or career.

Losers!

omoredia:
Adeboye will till u to avoid politics but his buddies are the same wicked politicians. Nigerian Christians abeg get sense

You people just make up stories'
Pastor Adeboye notoriously told all RCCG members since 2003 to join politics.
He specifically said christians will continue to have no voice if they dont join politics.
He said join all political parties, anyone you like.
Make your voice heard.
Almost all christian politicians visit him during Holy ghost convention. From obi ezekwisili to sanwoolu to seyi makinde.
He encouraged them to be active in politics.

TemplarLandry:
This mumu bros will eventually see the light.
No reasonable person will support that feminine man called Hobi.

Isaac Fayose is a yoruba man.
He has already seen their disrespect, and has already made up his mind (in his mind).
He just made this video for Mama Pee and the other cashivist that went to visit him.
Lol!

ElevationD:
Just imagine how you contradict and disgrace yourself publicly.

While you talk about tribalism, you carelessly and myopically choose that path believing that Obi’s followers are tribalistic. Your blind choice does not let you know that Tinubu’s support cuts across tribes and religion, with APC controlling two states in the SE. Can you point to one state in the SW where Obi’s party controls? You also pretend not to know that Obi’s supporters cut across tribe and religion. So to you, Obi’s supporters are only those of his tribe, while Tinubu’s supporters are only of his own tribe.

Tell us how it is wrong for people to question the loyalty of Isaac Fayose, who they held in high esteem, believing him to be a staunch supporter of their leader, only for him to turn around and eulogize a political opponent, hoping to get away with it. Do you understand the word “loyalty”?

With the tag “backstabbers” labeled on a particular tribe, how do you expect the supporters not to see it that way?

Some of you are just like the Mullahs of Iran. You first attack, kill and hide. When a reprisal is launched, you shout genocide. You accuse others of tribalism, whereas that’s what you all personify.

If you took your time to listen to Isaac Fayose in that video, you’d have heard him saying that he had fun with Seyi Tinubu and others, who he hanged out with. Do you understand the meaning of “hang out”? Seyi Tinubu walked him to his car and they prayed together, according to him. In that same breathe, Isaac accused his own elder brother Ayo and said that their differences were political. Maybe you chose to ignore those words or your phone’s speaker did not permit you to hear him clearly.

This your response is too silly. If i hang out with my friends that support tinubu and i make a video with them that means i deserve abuse from my fellow obidients. I cant be friends with people supporting someone else. Meanwhile obi can be friends with atiku and his other structures of criminality and still be considered a saint.

Bianca can work for him and Zack Orji can proudly promote him without people camping on their page to rain abuses. Better look into the Mirror well and see yourself for what you are. Because we can ALL see you.

ElevationD:
Can we safely say that you have chosen to walk the same path as your eldest brother, whom you have been accusing for a very long time of hobnobbing with APC?

What changed overnight? Or did the so call prayers take hold over you?

Abeg tell us the truth about what changed.
Abi you chop backhand?

Didnt u watch the video?
He was filmed at an event where seyi greeted him and he greeted back, then obidients camped on his page abusing him for hanging out with seyi Tinubu.

That’s why he made this video.

Why do you obidients attack only Yoruba people that u see hanging with Tinubu or his son? You never attack Blanca Ojukwu dt works for him, or Zack orji dt doesn’t miss any Tinubu campaign and is in full APC regalia.

The hypocrisy exposes the tribalism. The tribalism is too disgusting.

Believeintruth:
Dude Obi didn't lie. Highpoint is clear there weren't her cars parked there and nonenof them were clamped except his. It is a simple statement Keyamo should explain why the other cars were not clamped as well.

They weren’t parked, they had their drivers in them dropping off passengers. No one is allowed to park at the entrance lane. It’s the same at Lagos airport and all airports in Nigeria and abroad too.

God bless whoever came up with threatening the terrorists families.
God bless the Ngerian military,

“They identified the kidnappers’ mothers, wives, children and close associates. They arrested them, recorded videos and sent them to the abductors…”

Obi lied in the interview this week and said Tinubus government was witch-hunting him by not allowing him park at the airport. Apparently he just wanted to get away with lawlessness.

Keyamo came with video receipts.

helinues:
I am actually struggling to get where you are driving at.

If your focus is about Governments after Obi's life, is it through airport parking they will be using to frustrate him?

Even before Keyamo releasing his statement, Peter Obi admitted in his interview indirectly that he broke the law.

What's the meaning of why I am only singled out when others did the same?. That's purely admission of breaking the law, then Obi himself still added, don't you know who I am, meaning he's trying to be above the law as that law should not be applied to him because he's Obi

What are you even arguing sef? Cos u are stating my point. Obi lied.

helinues:
Please don't sound like a spam bot. Peter Obi is not the one talking on this thread, he said his own talk on the interview, this thread is about the aviation minister responding to Obi's breaking of the law

Discuss the breaking of the law as this is what this thread is about not the threatening of anyone's life

Some people do not know why Festus Keyamo made this statement and why he is asking for an apology. I added the reason why - obis interview.
It is relevant to the thread and adds context. It shows the complete difference in what Obi said and what actually happened. A gross over-exaggeration and lie.
Some of the airport staff even countered his interview on twitter 2 days ago, before Keyamo made this tweet.

helinues:
Is it that some of you don't bother to read at all or it's comprehension problem?

Where did you get this your conclusion from? definitely not from Keyamo's statement

Did you watch the video of Obis interview above? Obi even said they are after his life and gave the airport incident as the example..

This was Peter Obis interview that Festus Keyamo is responding to. Obi suggested that he was mistreated by airport staff and being witch-hunted by the government.

"They are after my life."
— Peter Obi speaks candidly about what he describes as the personal cost of opposition politics in Nigeria today.

In the twitter post above, Festus Keyamo attached videos of the whole incident.

FESTUS KEYAMO on twitter:

As the Minister of Aviation, I felt a moral duty to investigate and authenticate the claim made by opposition candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, a few days ago that the tyres of his car were ‘unjustly’ clamped at the airport, suggesting a ‘persecution agenda’ against him by the Federal Government. Politics aside, every Nigerian is entitled to fair treatment under the law.

I therefore instituted an internal inquiry over the issue.

Luckily enough, the entire Abuja airport is covered by CCTV cameras, real-time, 24/7. But apparently, this fact was unknown to Mr. Peter Obi. Otherwise, perhaps he would have been more circumspect before rushing to the media to cry ‘persecution’.

From the recordings, these are the facts:

1. On Saturday, July 4th, 2026, Mr. Obi arrived at the domestic wing of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Abuja at exactly 20:28 pm, driven by a Policeman. He alighted with two other occupants and went into the terminal building.

2. The Police driver then parked the vehicle, almost blocking the entrance and came out himself and went into the terminal building too. The airport rule is that, apart from the fact that it is a drop-off zone, a driver must remain behind the wheels of the vehicle for it to be tolerated for some time within that zone. Still the vehicle tyres were not clamped.

3. The Policeman came back to the vehicle at about 20:32pm and collected something from the vehicle and went back into the building again, leaving the vehicle unattended to.

4. At this point, the dutiful airport security staff came over and clamped the tyres of the car. In doing this, contrary to the claims by Peter Obi, nobody was inside the car and so nobody knew whether it was his car (not that it should matter, anyway).

5. When the Policeman returned again and discovered the tyres were clamped, he was directed to an office and upon getting there, he called Mr. Peter Obi on his phone and gave the phone to the manager. Mr. Peter Obi then introduced himself and spoke with the manager, peddled his ‘influence’ and requested for the release of the vehicle. His vehicle was then released without him paying the necessary fine.

6. It is important to note that the time the vehicle was parked unattended to in that prohibited zone was about 30 minutes, which constitutes a security risk at an airport by global best practices.

What has emerged from this is a clear case of an opposition candidate trying to whip up unnecessary sentiments for a wrong he committed with his driver. The excuse which Mr. Peter Obi gave that there were other offenders too on that day (which is completely false) cannot be an excuse for an individual aspiring to be President of Nigeria. He must live above board.

This is a matter that was not even mentioned at all by the airport authorities and had been put to rest. But ever determined to milk any situation to score cheap political points, Mr. Peter Obi decided to go on air to render a false narrative.

Therefore, he must also face the consequences of his actions. (I have attached the CCTV footages to this statement for the public to clearly see what transpired.)

In the circumstances, consistent with the principle of equality before the law, as Minister of Aviation, I make the following demands on Mr. Peter Obi:

1. That he tenders an unreserved, public apology to those hardworking, ordinary Nigerian workers at the airport, just doing their jobs dutifully and whom he sought to blackmail as his ‘persecutors’.

2. That Mr. Peter Obi voluntarily goes back to the airport and pay the appropriate fine of N25,000 for wrongful parking at the airport for which he used ‘influence peddling’ to bully his way out on that day. He cannot be bigger than the law.

If these demands are not met within one week, I will be giving the necessary directives to the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) to take the next steps against him.

Really grateful for the safe return of the children and teachers abducted from Oriire LGA 56 days ago. Our priority now is to ensure they are reunited with their families and support their rehabilitation after this traumatic experience.
We also commend the security agencies that took part in the rescue operations for their sacrifices. May the souls of those who paid the ultimate price rest in peace and may God comfort their families.
