This is a lie that has been busted many times! Before you spill info on a public forum, please try and get your facts right!



CLAIM:

Former governor of Lagos State, and presidential aspirant, Bola Tinubu claimed that he received zero allocation from the federal government when he was governor.

VERDICT: False

FULL TEXT

Bola Tinubu, who governed Lagos State from 1999 to 2007 is aspiring to be Nigeria’s president in 2023, under the All Progressive Congress (APC). His major contenders for the party’s presidential ticket include the current Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo; the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi; Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello; and Senator Ibikunle Amosun; among others.

Late last month, Speakers of the 15 state assemblies controlled by the APC, assembled at a forum hosted by the Lagos State House of Assembly. Tinubu who was present at the forum as a special guest of honour, sought the support of the legislators, while he reeled out his qualifications to govern Nigeria. The former Lagos governor boasted that he governed Nigeria’s commercial capital with zero allocation from the federal government, and he succeeded in turning the state around.

“I was raised to be courageous and this has been working for me. With zero allocation from FAAC, I turned Lagos State around and today, the state has become the largest economy in Africa. I reserve the right to brag. I want to bring same to bear as President of Nigeria. Accelerated development of Nigeria is about thinking and doing and I am ready to do that again because I am a thinker and a doer,” Tinubu said.

VERIFICATION

Old media reports perused by Ripples Nigeria show that the federal government under Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, only withheld the Local government fund of Lagos when Tinubu was governor.

Tinubu had created Local Council Development Areas, against the approval of the Obasanjo-led federal government. As a penalty, the federal government directed the Minister of Finance to withhold the Local government fund of Lagos, and other states who created LCDAs.

Also Lagos is not Africa’s third largest economy. Lagos is the ninth in Africa.

I won't waste my time with Sentiments here.....

Now, WHAT has Obi done aside HERO BEER??

Compared with MEGA PROJECTS like Eko Atlantic, Lagos deep seaport, Lekki free-trade zone( dangote refinery, New international Airport) etc

I deal with FACT to decide who I will vote for NOT SENTIMENTS!!!!

Viscuz:
I ask u if u be Yoruba before?

Como body joor

Illiterate!!!!!!

This isn't HOW elections are won.

You guys are Political Flyweights!

heniford2:
igbos will never see any damn shit!

You guys are just stubborn........
Same crap you idiots said in the north..........we all know the result.

SW Retribution is loading.......just REMEMBER to keep score of everything now!

EzeNwaanyiMmili:
rubbish post


I rather see Atiku win than Tinubu

Tinubu presidency is dead before arrival.

sane Nigerians have rejected him

where will he get votes ?
SE is no go area
SW apart from his urchins , real Omoluabis and intellectuals in SW have rejected him totally.
North he'll struggle to get reasonable votes in the North because except you're living in a fools paradise you'll realise that the north is going for their brother Atiku.
Middle belt is no go area because what Middle belt saw in Apc their mouth no fit talk am.
you don't expect such people to vote the very person romancing murderous herdsmen because of their votes.
South South will be between Obi and Atiku because no reasonable southerner will want to reinforce failure called Apc through the agbado munching gorilla Tinubu.

so I ask again where and how will Tinubu win ?
which region will he sweep ?
the only hope of the agbado munching urchins is federal might because they're in power but buhari I know will not interfere in this election and it will be level battle field.

so projecting Tinubu to win is you being mischievous and propagating a paid agenda which we all know already.

Tinubu will never be president
God will not abandon Nigeria in the hands of Tinubu.

God bless igbos
God bless real Omoluabis
God bless North.
God bless other tribes in Nigeria.

thunder scatter Tinubu urchins.

This comment is a CLASSIC Example of what happened in Osun election..............

Biafrans rejoicing that Tinubu lost the election WHILE Labor Party had JUST 2K votes.

Isn't that madness?
It exposes their Political naivete!

Fortunately, Because the Yorubas are Democratic by Nature, Atiku winning is STILL a win win for them because they have almost EQUAL numbers in PDP and APC.

To the Biafrans, it will be a LOSS LOSS LOSS (lol)

This is a well researched exposition!!!


These are FACTS !!!

The level of RETRIBUTION that the ibos will face in SW (Especially Lagos) AFTER election will be on another level............

I hope EVERYONE is keeping score of these Noise now.

I feel sorry for the ibos , they keep making THE SAME mistakes at EVERY Election!

Viscuz:
Paid damage control

It is STILL a FACT!

I am not Yoruba but:

I will rather my Leader be someone that FACTUALLY grew a State to become the THIRD largest economy in AFRICA WITHOUT federal aid.

There is a HUGE Distance between Chicago State University "Honors" ACCOUNTING Graduate with exposure working with Mobil, Delloite etc

AND

a UNN 3RD class PHILOSOPHY Graduate that worked in a Nigerian Bank.....who doesn't understand the meaning of Green energy that they had to "assist" him to paraphrase it.

And I am saying this absolutely WITHOUT BIAS. Their end results will just be a different level of exposure, analysis and Problem solving.

How can I vote for someone that governed a state with 1/10 population of Lagos with NO MAJOR improvement?

I have promised myself NOT to vote in this coming election based on "he is our Son" mentality.

It MUST be based on FACTS on the ground!!!

pinkPUSSY:
Tinubu's tribal cards backfiring.... We warned him but he didn't listen...


When his urchings were playing ethnic cards thinking it would affect Obi, they didn't knw that notherners are watching.. They thought that the race would be two horse race, they never realised that a day like this would come... Let's see how it goes

I thought that he mentioned OBI??

And I understand it.

How can ANYONE vote for Ppl that started the FIRST ETHNIC Coup in Nigeria??

How can ANYONE vote for Ppl that were saying "Burn the zoo" JUST few months ago?

Such folks MUST not be TRUSTED with Power

Their NEW Patriotism isn't sincere!!!

rusher14:
Which university employs 3rd class graduates as lecturers?

You know these idiots like to shift goalposts

yesloaded:
Seyi Makinde performed woefully

Here is a man with everything that he needs to perform excellently well but chooses the path of media propaganda whereas media propaganda is different from reality

It's quite unfortunate that 2023 is not looking good as far as Oyo state gubernatorial seat is concerned because both APC & PDP candidate will not deliver good governance

If this is the best Mr Seyi Makinde can achieve as a governor for the past 3yrs & 4months then this is not what Oyo state need

We have lots of bad roads across Oyo state, some workers are receiving only 70% of their salaries while some were owed many months whereas this is just his first term so how will second term turn out to be?

People of Oyo state are not asking for too much, give them motorable roads, security

The street light that gulped over 20billion Naira is not functioning despite the fact that these light were installed less than a year

Have YOU PAID your taxes??
Most Africans cry about lack of infrastructure, education bla bla BUT Hardly paid any tax.

Do roadside hustlers pay tax

Artisans

Market sellers

Worst part is when these ppl compare Nigeria to Western Countries which have almost 100 Percent tax payment compliance.

You mean the guy that I saw mumbling during LIGHT interviews??

The more I watch this man speak,the more I am having second thoughts of voting for him.........Honest truth.

This man doesn't have an intelligently SOUND understanding of Governing affairs.

His lack of Green energy knowledge, statistical misquotes, "pedestrian" answers on CNN and not having FACTUAL achievements as Governor did it for me.

Nigeria PRESENTLY doesn't need any more Educated Illiterates!

Qtrpst4:
A day will come when we will get biafra. No matter what

YOU want Obi to be President of NIGERIA and at the SAME time want BIAFRA

I have said it, igbos craziness about this election is insincere.

They THINK they can Position Obi as the President of Biafra By PROXY

See FORMAT!


We are WISER than them!

TRUTH be told,

AFTER listening to Obi talk, I am having second thoughts about voting for him.


This guy sounds like an Educated Illiterate........Local Boy!

Ibos!!!!

WHY are they hated by ALL tribes?

Nigerian elections haven't been this terroristic and abusive...........

UNTIL the ibos showed up with a Candidate!

Laugh Wan kill me.........Kee kee kee!!!!!!

These negroes ain't ready yet

.........Maybe in 2099!

SMART Nigerians CANNOT vote for Ppl that were chanting "Burn the Zoo down " JUST few months ago.

Like Nzeugo and Ironsi......You can't trust them with Power.

Why?

because their Patriotism is NOT Sincere!

At LEAST these Jokers can't blame Tinubu this time.

AND this is AWKA?

His HOME-STATE?

NO Shut-down?

Crowd here is less than 5000!

Ibos are on a very LONG thing!!!

WHAT happened to:

"We will burn the ZOOOO "

"No lefelendum, No erection"

"Biafra or Death"



Seeee FORMAT!

We are WISER than ibos,

Ppl that have such Hatred for Nigeria, ALL OF A SUDDEN,NOW love Nigeria?

Such folks MUSTN'T and WILL NOT EVER be close to the seat of Power.........

Like Nzeogu and Ironsi.........These Ppl CANNOT be TRUSTED with Power.

They aren't close to Power YET and Seeee the mess that they have made their OWN region to be(Afghaneastern)

This is just toooooooo easy......

JUST hold the Presidential election on monday!

These Biafrans are toooo scared to come out on Mondays.......

Meanwhile, they are enjoying Monday freedom in SW WHILE Abusing Tinubu.

Yorubas are too nice.....my PPL would have finished them quickly!

Biafra international Radio!!!

SERIOUS and EXPERIENCED Politicians are criss crossing the Nigerian terrain in a bid to forge alliances and strategic positioning.

MEANWHILE, Politically INEXPERIENCED Biafrans are busy threatening, abusing and posting Beer parlor gibberish.

Nigerian Presidential elections haven't been this terroristic UNTIL Biafrans showed up with a Candidate.

BECAUSE they dont have a Plan B as usual.....Post-election lynchings go sweet me o!

Nigeria elections havent been this hate-filled and insulting............................UNTIL the ibos SHOWED up with a Candidate!

I will always say this:

Ibos are too Primitive for ANY Democracy!!!

JUST seeeeeee HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Na dem loud mouths!!!

Gourdoinc:
Says the nobody who owns a disgusting nepotistic forum. Useless Tinubu supporter always disguising. he has no power to ban anyone there, so they roast him at will. Here on Nairaland they shut down dissenting voices, they push to front page their own tribal narratives. Oga go and park well. Awon Oloshi

NO Nigerian election has been insulting,terroristic and triablistic UNTIL the Ibos SHOWED up in 2022.............................FACT!!!!

Most of these guys are just using this format to thwart Local content law.Now that they have Nigerian citizenship,they can get Nigerian govt contracts without partneering with ANY Nigerian partner.

It will be EASIER for them now to facilitate govt loans............these are obviously Businessmen!

asanausana91:
This man is a fool I swear. And zombiedients are clapping for him , that shows that Peter obi supporters are the most backward.

WHAT do you expect WHEN Illiterates are following an "educated" Illiterate!

WHEN I looked at Tinubu's level of exposure From Chicago state University[Cum laude] to Delloite[Biggest accounting firm in the world] to Mobil[Treasurer] ..........You can VISIBLY understand how he was able to conceive his Mega Project's blueprint.

This was WHEN I changed my mind from voting for Obi........WITHOUT Bias!!!

hedonido:
Are you sure you watched the video, you dense creature?

He knows nothing about 'green energy', but he clearly stated that all that kind of talk about green energy and its underlying driving force (climate change) isn't Nigeria's priority at this time. Can you debate that?
What would your Thiefnumbu say in response to such a question? What has he said in any live interview in response to ANY question?

SEEEEEE Comment!

Your candidate didnt understand such a simple question......they had to "assist" him to paraphrase it.

THEN he said climate change[the number ONE threat to HUMAN survival] is NOT Priority

The MORE I listen to this guy, the more I am having second thoughts about voting for him..........he sounds like an educated illiterate most times!!!

This guy might end up being worse than Buhari!

Local Boy!!!

This one is ALREADY talking like a Typical Illiterate!

And you WANT me to vote for this one??

I am NOT Yoruba But Nigeria needs AT THIS MOMENT, someone that is "exposed" locally and internationally. Someone with SERIOUS track record of :

"Success" in governance,

"Success" in "aligning" with ALL ethnicities of this country LONG before their recent Presidential ambition,

I must admit here,

Tinubu is on another level here WITHOUT Bias!!!

Stories!

STILL no African team has won the World cup.

If our Juju is that good, we will be first in ANY Olympic.

You think most of these African Athletes no dey see their Jazz man before tournaments?

Abeg!

The Presidential election has not been this hate=filled UNTIL the Undemocratic ibos entered the race.

Ibos are too Primitive for ANY Democracy!
