The Concern Over Tribalism

This dominance in appointments and leadership positions has led many to label the government as the "Federal Yoruba Government of Nigeria," highlighting what they perceive as the worst form of tribalism. Critics argue that such actions undermine the spirit of federal character and equity enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution. The silence of certain groups, including religious and civic leaders, who were vocal in 2014 against similar concerns, has only added to the controversy.

Who is incompetent and who is greedy? It's not a new thing that a vehicle can develop a fault anytime though. The guy posting the video is only misusing his freedom of speech. Hopefully it doesn't land him in trouble. He can be sure for defamation of character.

CC. Yarimo

That 63yo Agulu dissembler is one of the biggest clowns around. He would rather run to YPP than go toe to toe with other Aspirants in this party. He's being running away since 2007 and he will continue to run.

Why give your ticket to a man thats been already condemned to finish the race at third place again in 2027

Otti is smarter, he will go back to APC


Abure has balls of steel. His grandfather will be smiling in his grave now.
