He is Chief Tinubu, not president Tinubu because he did not win the election

Just yesterday, I saw a heart-wrenching sight of a physically challenged traveller in a wheelchair being carried up the stairs by four men, at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport, Abuja because neither the elevator nor the escalator had been functional, for the past 3 months.

The situation becomes more disturbing when you imagine that such is happening in our nation's capital, where our dignitaries and foreign investors travel through constantly. This was the same Airport and the same day that our President flew out on a private visit.

I have been wondering what is private for a sitting President who is not on vacation to embark on a publicly funded ‘private’ visit.

May I humbly remind the President that he is now a public national asset. Therefore, all his movements should be public knowledge and matters of public interest. Even when he needs a private visit like a holiday, family gathering, etc, he should state so, which is graciously allowed, but private visits, like the one he has embarked on now, should be done at his expense and not at public cost. That is part of the cost-cutting measures desperately needed by the nation now. We now require savings of sorts to deal with every little issue that requires attention, like the maintenance of small public assets.

Otherwise, how do we explain as a country, that for the past three months both the escalator and elevator at the domestic wing of Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja, has remained dysfunctional?

I often wonder how we the leaders feel traveling in sophisticated manners while the majority of our infrastructure being used by the majority, including our foreign investors, is left dilapidated.

The situation we find ourselves in calls for such drastic cuts in the cost of governance, and attendant savings, to be appropriately used for every minor public good. That is the spirit of the New Nigeria we are clamoring for.

I must however acknowledge some efforts by the President to cut costs like his recent 60% cost on travel but that is still insignificant given the quantum of problems waiting to be tackled like the elevator issue in our prime airport.

I agreed Oyetola didn't do it on time

Oga make we hear word, which kind problem is he creating for the government or his (Adeleke) government is not serious? It has always been like that in governance Oga, happened in Ekiti and Oyo , those once didn't sack them like this mumu governor did.

Those he sacked , are they not Osun indigen ? Are they and their families not among people that voted him ? His 4years will soon reach, 2nd year gone already.

Paraman:
When did Oyetola hire the 1500 teachers?

NO PAIN NO GAIN. Although we know those who are happy because of the challenges at hand and will become so SAD when we start reading the benefits.

Rotimi Amaechi remains a respected former minister in the last admin. His works speaks for him and no sensible person disrespect him. Some of us are only disappointed that he did not play his politics right.

Reno still does not amass much respect at least not for me, we are just amused with the way he made a U-turn and began to bite you guys after forming tormentor for a long time.

Wike.... That one played a very smart politics that kept him relevant in an opposition government in a way no one has ever done before. I even forgot his name sef, he was once a darling to you guys. Your list of allys continues to run thin, how ironic.

Godoverevery:
Where did you see us praising wike or Reno ??

We aren't headless chickens..........we don't do mob movement and don't claim victims.

Chest beating is for you guys ......we are never in competition with your tribe.

9jatriot:
Very shameful set of folks. The funny thing is that just a few years ago, as recent as two years ago, Reno, Dino, Fayose, FFK (the list plenty) were their main men. They hailed them as their heros, just because Reno broke loose and started to attack his previous masters, they have now started calling him names.

Godoverevery:
Tomorrow if tunde ednut disagree with you people we will see what will happen.

Reno was once you guys darling during buhari tenure and today you guys hate him the most.

Won't be surprised if tunde get the same treatment.

yarimo:
RENO OMOKRI is truly an elder stateman loved by all . Happy birthday sir

Which Igbos don't do beggi beggi?

Many social media beggars are Igbos, both male and female.

You will find them on every social media platform, from Facebook to X (formerly Twitter).

aremubabs:
Yes, elections have come and gone, but people still continue to ethnically profile people. Any small thing, you will find election losers profiling people.

There was a post on Facebook where Burna Boy was driving through the street of Lagos and some people were running after him, obviously asking for money. Some idiots wrote that they were Yorubas already suffering the repercussions of voting for Tinubu.

JealousCobra:
You sabi dem well mostly those ones from that begi begi region.
