FreeStuffsNG: And how many are you and the whole Edo state?
You just do not get it.smh
IT IS A GAME OF NUMBERS! NW & SW already in the kitty of APC so the battle is not in SS or SE.
Please can u comfortably mentioned the states in NW? Kano belongs to kwakwanso Jigawa, katsina, sokoto, kaduna belongs to Atiku 🤣🤣 Which NW is in the bag for APC? Obi is the only candidate with sure block votes from SS and SE with 25% in all the SW states and 4 of NC states
benuejosh: Those causing the problem in the country to paint APC as a black party are the same people who called Nigeria a zoo and are now clamoring to have their candidate as the president of our country which they once referred to as a zoo.
Peter Obi supporters want to stop at nothing to bring division within the party. They are moles in the party.
Well, this month everything will take its place as we prepare to celebrate the victory of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Jagaban Borgu as the President in waiting.
Are u not ashamed of yourself? Is this the topic of discussion? Are the igbos the reason Tinubu can't make a completee statement ? Are the igbos the reason Tinubu now attacking Buhari govt? Instead of telling us what he planned to do. Are the igbos the cause of ur madness? Why have you decided to be this useless to ur generation? Tinubu will loose this election after the north have betrayed him and u will still blame it on the igbos. That is how stupid and shameless Tinubu supporters are
lhordspy: Louder my able First lady. Battle line drawn. I am loving this.
Osinbajo the betrayer, Emefiele the pained loser, Boss Mustapha the willing tool, Atiku dollar induced power hungry tribalistic Cabal and other antagonistic elements.
Everybody go collect !
Why are u crying this man Tribalism is the only reason u are supporting Tinubu
Because we have seen the worst of Bihari which is far better than the best of GEJ. ...so. let's test the worst of Tinubu which will be far better than the best of Peter Obituary
E be like u nor get brain Did u suffer like dis during GEJ? Hypocrites
BRIMBRAM: They rest go vote Peter Obi which is a vote against Atiku and for Tinubu.
lolz no be only against atiku continue deceiving yourselves. Tinubu need all the southern votes than Atiku. The north is voting Atiku. so i wondered where tinubu will get his votes from Buhari got 80% of his votes from the north where he came from, and needed little help from the south. but tinubu want to be president and his urchins feel they dont need the votes from the south but putting their hopes on another region i laugh una very well. it would have been easy for tinubu without atiku or kwankwaso on the ballot, but u are guys are made to believe that obi is only taking atiku votes
Goan browse the best developed states in Nigeria but u must lick the arse of the north because u want their votes😂 We dey here dey watch now. After the North finished dealing with u guys, you people will now be in isolation because SS and SE will never accept betrayals
Asgard13: Tinubu is sick .. and senile .. reason why he’s age is an issue

No the twist OBi narratives to suit Una Yoruba narratives
Yoruba muslims please They are the real hypocrites. Tinubu need to take care of his health. He has no business running for presidency They always want to twist everything to suit their agenda but we are wiser now
lhordspy: Peter Obi in 2019 when campaigning for Atiku....
But sir, now you and your supporters share same singular opinion that Tinubu and Atiku are both too old to rule. Is this not a contradiction of opinion, deviation from ideology, or what changed? 🤔
🤣🤣 Agenda must agend for agbado supporters Nobody is complaining about Atiku age because he is still very much aware of himself and not sick Tinubu is old, sick and very much far and not aware of his surroundings
babasolution: They used the advantage of Lagos, just as how port Harcourt is the most developed city in the East/south south, WIKE can claim to even have developed port Harcourt
Why didnt u mention fashola, ambode, jakande or even Sanwo But u went to mention Tinubu Agenda must agend
babasolution: If we have to be honest,TINUBU really has to be given credit for the creation of modern Lagos.
The truth is that Lagos is not the top state in Nigeria because it was a former capital, tinubu and past Yoruba leadership really had a touch in making the state,Lagos is not really made because it was a former capital,the Yoruba leadership from Awo to the present are hugely responsible for it and should be given their due credit.
Enough of the disparaging of Yoruba contribution.
I recall in the 90s Lagos despite being a capital was more or less like most states back then,in which only the government house areas and the GRAs are developed with other areas being like a village or slum.
Development stopped in Lagos as soon as the capital was moved to Abuja in 1991.
The Fulani run Nigeria governments only developed the areas in LAGOS where the government officials and business were,they didn't bother about anything else.
After the capital was moved to Abuja, they deliberately left the city to rot. Lagos was abandoned.
You could literarily count the high rises in Lagos in the 90s,Lagos was more serene,organised especially in the legacy areas but it was hugely underdeveloped as late as the 90s. Lagos in the 90s was more or less like Ibadan of today . The state was left to rot by the Fulani run Nigeria, they probably left it for dead.They expected the collapse of southern Nigeria.
We all have seen an unprecedented boom in Lagos in the last few decades,I mean the state was virtually written off in the year 2000 by an international magazine, it was like the state was finished.
But the man TINUBU breath a new life to the state
Expansion, growth and boom came with the TINUBU plan which fashola especially implemented.Tinubu himself had to deal with the previous rot left behind for him, that he could not even implement his plan .
I can't enumerate all he did here,but in summary he created a system of revival of Lagos and in extension southern Nigeria. LAGOS helped the development of East and the south south.
His plan actually Began taking shape under fashola.I recall when fashola was campaigning he was talking about the plans , we all thought it was a fluke but the plans actually became reality and Lagos experienced rapid development.
However, TINUBU is not without his flaws made many flops in his governance style and plans.
His plans are too grand and elistist, this is were Lagos in my humble opinion is missing it. The state should focus more on the little things and be less elistist,the lower income areas need to be focused more on.
This is were Peter obi comes in,him and tinubu seems to have record of performance and Peter Obi is less elistist and people friendly which is the type of governance Nigeria desperately needs now,a government that really cares about the poor.
On the other hand Atiku is another Fulani captain which will rule only to please the Fulani .Atiku government will hit the final stroke on Nigerdelta wealth, the nigerdelta will extremely regret voting Atiku mark my words.
Tinubu lost is way in his desire for presidency, he as used Lagos money to entrench himself in politics which is a great error,this error eroded his credibility his focus as been on politics instead of governance, he is now old and sick.
Peter obi is the best option there is now,southern Nigeria must work to elect this man.
Southern Nigeria will bitterly regret if they don't.
Remember this, Southerners, “the north doesn't give a damn about you”.
It's the turn of the south, the south should learn to put itself first or regrets will follow.
Be wise!
so tomorrow when the capital of nigeria is moved away from abuja, the north central people will be saying they developed abuja why didnt the same yoruba elders developed ondo, ekiti or the other yoruba states? abi na only Lagos be yoruba state 70yrs old mumu bring another story
The presidential campaign rally of the All progressives Congress APC continues today in Uyo and thousands of supporters and lovers of the ruling APC attended the rally. This is the moment ASIWAJU BOLA TINUBU enters the campaign venue.
It has been a hectic week. Frenetic. We set forth at dawn on Monday from Abuja to Bauchi, to attend the Presidential and gubernatorial campaign of All Progressives Congress (APC) candidates. It was only Muhammadu Buhari, the Mai Gaskiya (honest man), that could have commanded the number of people that turned out. Without inducement. Endless sea of heads. He remains the greatest political crowd puller we have ever seen in the country since the beginning of time.
From Bauchi, same Monday, we flew into Lagos. To commission the $1.5 billion Lekki Deep Sea Port, then West Africa’s largest rice mill at Imota, and a lubricant plant at Tin Can, Apapa, owned by MRS Petroleum Company.
Tuesday saw the President commissioning two more projects, including the Blue Line Rail. And from there, we flew to Dakar, Senegal, to attend a summit on food security in Africa, billed for Wednesday. Our President delivered a Keynote Address, and we left for Nigeria in the evening. We didn’t reach Katsina, and Daura till about 1 am Thursday.
Now as I write this Thursday morning, we are in Katsina, commissioning legacy projects, including; Kofar Kaura Underpass, Kofar Kaura Waterworks, Revenue House, Meteorological Institute, Darma Rice Mills, Kofar Kwaya Underpass, Katsina General Hospital, among others. The spree continues Friday, then same at Kano on Monday, and Jigawa on Tuesday.
Our President is 80 years old, don’t forget. And he does all these at a sprint. We that are far younger struggle to catch up with him. On Thursday, after going to bed around 3 am, on return from Senegal, I refused to get out of bed till my colleagues came to evacuate me, saying the President was ready and raring to go. I sprang up. President Buhari is a blessed man, despite a debilitating health challenge he had in 2017. God has been truly merciful.
Now, all these projects being commissioned in States are because the Federal Government created an enabling environment, and enunciated the right policies.. There are even counterpart relationships in some of them. I tell you, this President has done great things for our country, including fighting insecurity to a standstill, and on the verge of winning the war.
Some cynics claim they’ve not seen anything Buhari has done. Yes, the Second Niger Bridge is so small, so they need a magnifying glass to see it. The Lagos/Ibadan Expressway is so minuscule, and they need to wear their medicated glasses. Rail line like catacombs in certain parts of the country? Bring my microscope, let me check. Same for Enugu/Port Harcourt Expressway, Bodo/Bonny road and bridges, Loko-Oweto road and bridge, brand new airport terminals in Abuja, Lagos, Kano, Enugu, Port Harcourt, rice mills everywhere. “We can’t see.” Purblind people.
What of Abuja-Zaria-Kano expressway in the works? AKK pipelines. And many other projects. No, they can’t see, because Buhari has done nothing. Fickle minds. Caviling. Carping. Flippant. Unserious.
Those who know and are honest testify to what President Buhari has achieved for the country. And because there’s no need reinventing the wheel, let me adopt the chronicle of Minister for Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in a recent press briefing. I then challenge anyone who wants to countermand the achievements to openly come out and say so.
Let’s go:
“Let me use this opportunity to comment on the increasing tendency by some opposition presidential candidates to downplay the achievements of this Administration, in their desperation for power, ahead of the 2023 elections. The worst offender in this regard has been the presidential candidate of the PDP, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. During his recent campaign in Akure, the former VP was quoted as saying the APC had not done anything for Nigeria in eight years. What a preposterous statement from somebody who should know. I guess we can excuse His Excellency the former Vice President who, until recently, had fully relocated to Dubai, thus losing touch with Nigeria.
“And if anyone would accuse the APC-led Federal Government of doing nothing, it should not be Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Why? Because for the 16 years of the PDP rule, eight of which Alhaji Atiku Abubakar was Vice President, there was no motorable road to the former VP's hometown and indeed to key local governments in the Southern Senatorial zone that served as Adamawa's food basket and economic nerve centre until the Government of President Muhammadu Buhari assumed office. Today, gentlemen, the Mayo Belwa- Jada- Ganye- Toungo road has been constructed fully and it’s the road that Alhaji Atiku uses to get to his hometown of Jada.
“What about security? Before this Administration came into office, all the five local government areas in Adamawa's Northern Senatorial District were effectively under the control of the Boko Haram terrorists. All state institutions, the local government administration, the police, the judiciary, schools, hospitals and markets had been sacked. Traditional rulers, including Emirs and Chiefs, had been displaced with their palaces taken over by the terrorists as their headquarters. The affected 5 local governments in the Northern Senatorial zone are: 1. Madagali 2. Michika 3. Mubi North 4. Mubi South and 5. Little Gombi
“In the Central Senatorial zone, two local governments were effectively under the control of the Boko Haram terrorists: These two local governments in the Central Senatorial zone are: 1. Maiha Local Government 2. Hong Local government.
“Today, not an inch of these local governments in Adamawa, the home state of the former Vice President, is under the control of terrorists. All institutions of state have relocated back and are operational. All Emirs and chiefs have returned to their palaces. Schools and markets have opened. Please note, gentlemen, that throughout that period, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar could not even go home. As a matter of fact, when one of his right hand men, Mr. Adila, was killed by the terrorists, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar could not even go to condole with the family of the deceased. It was that bad. Now that he can travel home freely, thanks to the Buhari Administration, it is not sweet in his mouth to accuse the same Administration of doing nothing. As they say, the bedwetter should not join those who are insulting the washerman.
“In the area of Social Investment Programmes, there have been 29,641 beneficiaries, from Adamawa alone, of the N-POWER Programme of the Buhari Administration. Under the Home Grown School Feeding Programme, some 162,782 pupils from Adamawa are benefitting from one meal a day. That programme employs 2,259 cooks in Adamawa and has covered 1,236 schools in the state. How many school children did the PDP feed in Adamawa or anywhere in the eight years that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar held sway as Vice President in Abuja!
“We are not done. Under the Conditional Cash Transfer, some 64,607 vulnerable people have benefitted in Adamawa alone, while Trader Moni and Market Moni have reached a total of 38,000 people in the state.
“In the area of infrastructure, some 8 roads projects totalling 714 kilometres are currently being rehabilitated or constructed in the state. That's out of 43 road projects in the North East alone. These are not phantom projects. We have the full list of the roads and can make it available to anyone who so wishes.
“Similarly, the North East Development Commission (NEDC) has either completed or is currently working on 140 projects, including construction of classrooms, healthcare facilities and ICT training centres, in Adamawa alone. Overall, NEDC has a total of 593 projects in the entire North East. Again, we have a full list of the projects.
“Gentlemen, you can now see that we didn't even need to go far to disprove the former VP's soap box statement. You can also see the irony of someone who held the number two position in the country for all of eight years but could not positively impact on his own hometown, state or region now condemning an Administration that has made it possible for him to even access his hometown, anytime he flies in from his new hometown of Dubai! The Administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has had a positive impact on all parts of this federation. No amount of fallacious soap box rhetorics can change this fact.”
True. Projects abound in all zones of the country, done by the Buhari Administration, and you will get to have a compendium soon. But let those who have eyes, and deliberately refuse to see, continue. They will fall into a ditch, and great will be that fall.
In the words of Jimmy Scott, a Nigerian drummer, made popular by the Beatles, “O-bladi, O-blada , life goes on bra, la-la-la-la life goes on.”

Aufbauh: Stop being myopic as there's no nation which only saviour is one man.
Many of you guys his supporters hyped this man as if it's not this mediocre Obi that governed Anambra state for 8Yrs.
In all honesty, do we want Nigeria of today to be administered the way Obi governed Anambra state? If we want that then Nigeria and Nigerians has a long wait to get to the ideal destination we'd hope for.
Obi is only the best among the other candidates He is not a messiah
