tuborme:
The first question is… did Obi contest the PDP primaries?

This is not the issue. The issue was that when LP membership register was submitted to INEC 30 days before the election was Obi's name there?

Melagros:
COMRADES, the apc led government is trying hard to get the hearts of reasonable Nigerians and the international community
If the party is really progressive we wouldn't have been broadcasting this meagre amount of money

Can you attract $1 from a multilateral international agency.

Greencloud:
Hypocrisy, something is fishy

Please what will €290m do in a country of over 250 million.

It will do nothing. You can bring what will be enough for every Nigerian. Mtchee

Women are very annoying being
How will female soldiers be fighting because of man


Abi na konji dey catch all this female soldier

Man scarce for female soldier. Their colleagues don't like courting them. Many bloody civilians avoid them.

Brendaniel:
So in other words, you are telling me Tinubu decided to channel more of his responsibilities to the governors to do anyhow they like with more resources given to them, since he cannot control them.

Is that a smart of full-ish decision?

So he knew he could not control them on how they manage the resources given to them, and yet decided to channel more resources that the citizens got directly from him which he could control the spending and gave to the governors which he cannot control...

Is that the quality of a good leader?

Go and study the constitution of the federal Republic of Nigeria.

R2bees2:
What favour if I may ask, I swear I don't know

Ask Otti. He has said so many times.

Brendaniel:
Why is he diverting his responsibility to the governors?

Is that the quality of a good leader?

You don't understand political economy. It has layers. No matter what you do at the higher layer if the lower layer do nothing you can't have the desired results.

The subnationals manage the microeconomy and the federal manages macroeconomy. It is not diversion of responsibility but political economic management. In management we call it common goal congurence.

For example PBAT's decision concerning fuel subsidy and fx rate unification has freed more resources to the subnationals but he cannot control them on how they spend it. He can only advise.

I took this efforts because all your writings portray hate.

Brendaniel:
Is this man a president or gester?

More like saying:

Nigerians, the middles east crises will cause inflation and reduce your purchasing power, since it is not my fault you people are on your own.

This is the first time I am seeing someone who claims to be a president but tries to avoid all the responsibilities of a president and still wants to enjoy all the benefits of a president. This is someone his supporters claimed he use 20 years to prepare to become president.


And the Nigeria of today is the result of that preparation, what if he didn't prepare?

Your biased mind takes away your thought process. The president showed you that he recognizes the likely impact of global event on the economy. He was simply talking to the governors to prepare their minds for the likely event. That they should start thinking at the micro level of the likely mitigation while he thinks at the macro level.

Does the above not show qualities of a sound leader to you but you are there writing chochocho because of hatred.

AMINDA:
Touché. In a 3-horse race presidential election, where will Tinubu's votes come from? Contrary to what his water carriers will have you believe, Tinubu does not still have the South on lockdown. That's Obi's turf. He has made some in-roads in the middlebelt but that can easily shift if he repeats his muslim-muslim ticket. Plus, the middlebelt will ALWAYS be divided, just like the Southwest. Where will his votes come from? From the governors who defected under duress, inducements and engineered crisis?

Armchair analyst. Reality is different.

36STATES:
Useless EFCC full of illiterates. Which one is 'Restrained Order'

The correct term is restraining order.

A restraining order is a legal order issued by a court to prevent someone from doing something—most commonly contacting or approaching another person.

Efcc operatives are illiterates and you are professor. Congratulations 👏

runningriot:
Whatsoever the case is, Wike decapitated, liquidated, neutralised and dismembered PDP for his own personal gain. Wike inordinate and megalomaniac driven desire put PDP in rocky and wrecking boat. His impulsive and insensitive behavior clearly shows he is a vindictive individuals that lacks the moral tenets of nature. In all, no matter what and how it goes PDP can never gather the momentum and morale to serve as a pathfinder of trust again.

All these na grammar. Go back to the genesis of PDP problem and know whom to blame.

Ofunaofu:
When Nasir El-Rufai first said Bola Ahmed Tinubu was on the verge of becoming Nigeria’s Paul Biya, many dismissed it as just another political gimmick.

But Tinubu has effectively ruled Lagos by proxy since 2007, refusing to let go or allow the state to breathe. Now, as president, with over 30 governors in the APC with the criminal state capture of both the judiciary and legislature, security agencies and INEC, he seems firmly on that same path.

What if your prophecy fail? What shall we do to you and the nose-ring wearing man?

Dogalmighty17:
The man is barely alive. It will be a miracle for him to complete his second tenure.

Are you God? Anybody can die at anytime. You can never be sure if he will not outlive you.

jmoore:
I voted for Otti and Obi in 2023. Otti can't force me to vote for Tinubu.

Everyone can't obey Otti.

ppogba:
But when other governors decamp, the argument of them having one vote becomes logical?

Una no dey ever disappoint.

The argument of a governor having one vote is fallacy. It's theoritical. It's as wasted as water flushed into the pit. I have never taken it serious because it's self-consolation.

jmoore:
Hush when people on ground in Abia are talking. Otti has only one vote.

Forget about one vote. It's theoretical. So Otti has no supporters? No structure?

LagosOrigin:
Yahaya bello is still walking free and untouchable

Who told you? The case that you are referring to has been on for how long?

jmoore:
People of Abia know what to do. Obi for president, Otti for governor.

Otti can't receive all the favour from PBAT and fail to return any to his friend.

Maobichek:
"There is no one school bus in Aba offered by any politician." This is your word.

2017? Nine years ago? Maybe a few weeks window dressing while they continue to enjoy the common wealth alone and blind people's eyes with Nigeria hates Igbo. Tinubu and the West hates Igbo. Common!!!

floss:
Wow so because otti chose to have a conscience you’re now trying to take the credit ?

What of Edo state governor, why not mention him…. With or without subsidy removal any administration that knows what it’s doing doesn’t need 1year and 6months for the citizens to believe you’re on the right track… just like how otti have been able to prove to the people that they need to give him another 4years….

If Tinubu really wants to be the best president ever, he should quietly resign and go back to Lagos…. After 4 years instead of his works to speak for him, he still chose to repeat how he came into power… paying money…

The first time, it’s his money, but now, he’s recovered all he spent to come in and even is making that amount in a thousand fold… that’s where part of those subsidies went…

Most states in Nigeria now are construction sites. States are paying salaries and pension as and when due. They are no longer borrowing to pay bills. Even formerly none performing governors like my state governor that you call supreme Court governor are beginning to improve. What is the secret?

Do you think that Oti is stupid that at every opportunity he praises Tinubu's policies? Governance has been made easier to him through availability of money. He will steal some and still have more to show working.

Our people must learn to separate hate from truth.

tete7000:
There is nothing to praise Tinubu for in removing subsidy, sane Nigerians have always known that subsidy ought to go, Tinubu and his apc gang weaponised and opposed it using it to ride to power only for them to turn around and begin to insist subsidy must go after they got to power and ran Nigeria economy into red.

Can you trust a man with subsidy removal that:
Inherited rich foreign reserves but blew it?
That had so much in excess crude account but blew it?
That couldn't provide infrastructure?
That couldn't control his ministers? Deziani, Stella Oduah etc.
That appointed a CBN governor like emefieli?
That started borrowing again after OBJ cleared much of our external debts?
That had high crude oil price but couldn't save nor provided infrastructure even to his village?
That remembered subsidy removal in the middle of his regime when money has dried up?
That increased petrol pump price but nothing to show for it?
That .........

atobs4real:
Yes he is but my problem is that the masses are yet to feel him

Are you not feeling what Oti is doing?

floss:
Otti don Dey misyarn as of recent ooo… the subsidies removal effect is only felt by governors … I want to see any Nigerian currently benefiting from it…. Oh he said in the long run…. That’s if this administration doesn’t steal the entire country dry …. Which they’re currently doing…

During a January 2026 Arise TV interview, Nasir El-Rufai alleged that President Bola Tinubu’s administration is deducting ₦100 billion monthly from the Federation Account without proper legislative approval, these unauthorized deductions have been ongoing for over 15 months, totaling approximately ₦1.5 trillion.

You want to see any Nigerian benefiting from subsidy removal right? What Oti is doing came from where.

Maobichek:
Good morning, you said that you live in Aba, that you live (not lived i.e before now) at Osisioma but your profile says that you live in Lagos. Osisioma is not Aba but outskirt of Aba, it's only outsiders that sees Osisioma as Aba. Let me clarify this: Goshen is in Nassarawa state but people sees the Church as an Abuja Church also both Cannan land and Redeem Camp are not in Lagos but they are being referred to as Lagos Churches.

Ossy Pristege representated Aba North/South while Solomon Adelu represented Osisioma. I lived at Aba so i saw the boreholes and free buses mostly parked at Park/Pound Rd on weekends.

It's absurd when people believe that IPOB/Nnamdi kanu made Abaribe popular; Abaribe have been in the Senate before the coming of Nnamdi kanu/IPOB, please use your Google.

TA Orji representating Abia Central was the one who should have signed the surety for Nnamdi kanu who is also his brother and from the same senatoral zone but Abaribe did because TA Orji was afraid.

NB: we are all here to learn, i pray you do because i personally don't do politics, thank you.

You think that I'm lying. I live in Lagos but I have been working in Aba since 2014 up till now. My residence is at WBHE off MCC road. My office is on Aba Owerri Rd. I'm an igbo like you from Owerri. I can go on and on and mention different parts of Aba and Abia. There is no one school bus in Aba offered by any politician. I drive around Aba north and south regularly, there is no Abaribe borehole anywhere. Maybe he did one or two in some remote locations but that is not what he can only offer his constituents for the donkey years that he has been in the national Assembly. Let's stop hyping these politicians that are only lining their pockets.

Maobichek:
Good evening, I'm from his constituency. Abaribe is a known face in Abia South which includes: Obingwa, Ugwunagbo, Aba North, Aba South, Osisioma Ngwa etc.
Most secondary schools in Aba have boreholes. He while in PDP joined hands with late Ossy Pristege to provide free buses for students in Aba. He host yearly made in Aba goods exhibition in Abuja.

Politics aside, Abaribe drives himself when in Aba without security guards. Ikpeazu forced him out of PDP, he contested against Ikpeazu under APGA and defeated a seating governor (Ikpeazu).

What we are seeing now is the only avenue to stop him come 2027 because no politician is as popular as he is in Aba.

NB: late Ifeanyi Uba left YPP and move to APC and it wasn't issue; infact he was celebrated, YPP had no crisis then. Ppl talking about new electoral law failed to realize that this law guiding defeation has been there and didn't evolve as a result of the new electoral law, thank you.

I live in Aba ooo. All these are lies. Where are the buses? Where are the boreholes? I dey live for osisioma ooo. No impact of Abaribe. Ifeanyi Uba resigned from YPP and joined APC. Let Abaribe resign from APGA and join ADC. He will not because he will lose his seat.

Justnation:
When you suspend a sitting senator, what are you telling him?.
He is free to join another party simple

When you are suspended from a job the only option that you have is to resign.

Chegesnd:
Abaribe is way ahead of you and your paymasters, both in delivery and political sophistication.
From being a Deputy Guvnor till today, you can see that his people love him and want him over and over again.
Even if he leaves ADC today and go to your APC, he'll still strive.
Just leave him and try another person!

To remain in government is his birth right? So the only job that he has been doing since 1999 is politics. Can you see people chopping us.

insidelife22:
Are you from his constituency
If not,then face you agbvdo in peace

What he said is true. That's why he clings to the popular wave in the south east. He said that he won the election on personal popularity, if it's so why didn't he win the PDP primary? He lost and ran to APGA.

ratcock:
I recall in the 2000’s Dangote established a petroleum exploration company. Assuming back then he invested heavily into oil exploration, he won’t be having issues with importing crude oil.

He can't produce all the grades that he needs.

Eriokanmi:
They're not giving enough crude to dangote deliberately. They know what they're doing. Dangote imports crude as we speak. Wicked leaders. Let's see if this punishment will elude apc supporters. Una never see anything yet

You were part of those abusing Dangote. Calling a monopolist. You have the full information now.

eepeepook:
It didn’t happen. Nairaland’s fake news. Thank God for ChatGPT.

I know very well. Some people in this forum just write anything to demarket Tinubu's government and Nigeria.
