The opposition have all seen that they have nothing to present to defeat PBAT therefore they have decided to major in mundane issues. From the one representing one mushroom party that you don't even know the name of the chairman to the one representing a party with multiple court cases it's obvious that 2027 is settled.

One has spent $1.2 million on a fruitless expedition in America. The other rather than show us evidence of his past performance in governance and HOW he can do better than PBAT is busy asking the busy president to grant interviews.

They are no longer saying that the president wants to turn Nigeria to one party country. They don't know that one of the best strategies of warfare is never allow your enemies to know what you are thinking. They lack originality. Their only strategy is to attack whatever Tinubu says and do. They are beginning to accept that Tinubu is working. Campaign hasn't started but Obi out of excessive chochocho has exhausted what to say in his numerous online hustling. He wants Tinubu to talk so that he can have something new to use. Aisha Yusuf is complaining that the questions and Obi's answers are becoming repetitive. Nawaaoo.

MemphitzDgreat1:
After watching Seun Okinbaloye interview Peter Obi now on Channels and his many questions asked about specifics.

If only such energy and time will be spent on interviewing Tinubu and not any of his set of vuvuzelas. We must get serious as a country. Frankly speaking, a President or Presidential candidate keeping malice with the people is an unserious entity.

The Nigerian media must agree moving forward that any presidential candidate not speaking won’t be given any media mention.
Equal access to publicity is part of the checklist of a free, fair and credible election.

As old and busy as Trump is, he speaks daily. We must become serious as a people! We should have irreducible minimums in this country.

Trump speaks all the time such that people don't take his words serious unlike previous American presidents. Most times too much chochocho like Obi reduces your value.

kelechi50:
Stomach infrastructure at work. Trump grants interview every week on the state of the nation.

Ours is been granted by SA's and Wike.

There is a powerful lady in Nigerian government today but you hardly hear her do chochocho.

I'm sure that you don't know the DG of Debt Management Office - DMO. She is at the center of the management of Nigerian debt. Obviously known in the financial circles all over the world but you will hardly see her grant interviews but only press releases from her office.

I'm talking of someone that is exceptionally brilliant and a lady at that. This should make her show herself everywhere. We were in class together so I know her so well. The day that Taiwo was answering questions from senators she sat next to him. I just watched her - same hair style that she uses during her days as investment analyst in ICON Merchant Bank and the same simplicity.

Some people are like that. Tinubu is a brilliant silent worker.

Validated:
Simple question, you are writing thesis?
OBJ granted several Iive interviews.
Yaradua granted live interviews
GEJ granted several live interactions
Buhari with his croaker voice granted live interview
When is Tinubu granting a live Interview?

Na interview we go chop? Show your workings. Presidency nobi chochocho. Everyone has their style.

Kalulu44:
Ok the lawyer has passed his first exam, he still has more exams to take and pass.
He should also come and tell us how Tinubu attended a school before it was established.
After that one more to come, since he has turned defense lawyer

Some lawyers can deceive. So this Aloy can boldly state facts not minding whose ox is gored?

Why didn't he tell Kanu the truth? He was just doing anything that Kanu wanted him to do whether professional or unprofessional. He was just making money through Kanu's case and generating undue publicity to himself.

happney65:
I watched it yesterday and I wondered what will be going in the hearts of tinubu supporters

The only reason why you support Tinubu is 3.

1. Either you're a politician and a member of the ruling class which is understandable

2. Because he is your tribesman which is rooted in tribalism because most of you cannot even employ a Tinubu in their private business as Manager but want him in the presidency

3. You are an illiterate who only chants omo wa ni. Because come to think of it,he hasn't said or done anything spectacular for a right thinking person to support an empty and shallow candidate like Bulabalu

He cannot even talk to Nigerians except to hide. I think henceforth,the media should not do any other interview with any other contestant until Tinubu appears for a two hours spontaneous interview

But he cannot come because he is empty. Very empty. As empty as Buhari.

The only difference is when he talks in the little time he talks,you can hear what he says unlike Buhari that you will strain your ears

Apart from that,they are both birds of the same feather. Empty and shallow

Iranu

I am not a politician.
I am not Tinubu's tribes man. I'm actually an igbo.
By the grace of God I have good education.

But I support Tinubu. Where do you then group me?

As for Obi asking Tinubu to come out and talk, I think that Obi has run out of what to use for his everyday social media town crying.

PBAT has decided to ignore him. Indirectly telling him that I don't have your time. I'm too busy as a president. Nigerian's didn't vote me in to be talking but to be working. My workings will talk for me. I'm not an idle hustler like you. I'm a busy president. You are at the same level with my boys (this is actually the truth). I talk daily diplomatically with presidents and not social media hustlers.

The government is running and running well. Reforms are being churned out here and there. We have just carried out one of the most comprehensive reorganisation of the Nigerian army that hasn't happened for decades. You guys made so much noise about coalition and I was quiet but when I replied it was masterstroke. It was political earthquake. All of you began to wail.

Brilliant people don't talk much. Their work speak for them. Empty ones speak so much to cover up their deficiency.

Mopolchi:
What a man! Most of them leave their states in deficit.

This is lack of knowledge. A poor state to have left idle cash in the bank when there are several development needs shows poor leadership capacity.

He has told us cash but he hasn't told us liabilities.

Company A
Cash in bank $150 million.
Current liabilities $200 million
Net current assets $(50) million

Company B
Cash in bank $20 million
Current liabilities $15 million
Net current assets $5 million

By Obi's claim the manager of company A is a better manager. If writes this in financial management exam he will get F9.

Jahwinaboy:
And you have a USELESS president. Spit on you Tinubu supporters

Will the president use rope to draw the man home? The owners of the country have said that they don't want you. Leave their country peacefully and save your life. You refused to listen. Government has spent money to bring back several but you choose to stay back. What then is Tinubu's fault?

givedemwotowoto:
We all are. Seun is using the cover of journalism to try to push an agenda from his paymasters.

I know Peter Obi wants to be heard by the people, but he has already said everything he needs to say. At this point, filter and focus on TV stations who have something new to talk about, like policies everyday Nigerians can relate with. The viewers will find you there.

Not every TV station qualifies to interview PO. ChannelsTV no longer qualifies.

Update:

Are there no more important things to talk about, like how to lift millions of people that Tinubu impoverished, out of poverty?

That shows you that Nigerian journalism is dead with stations like ChannelsTV

Have you seen any opinion polls recently? It's because they have nothing to do but talk about Peter Obi

Channels TV doesn't qualify for Obi's interview but Arise TV qualifies?

Seun acted the script of his paymasters but Rufai is not acting the script of his paymasters?

Nothing new was asked Obi by Seun but Rufai asks him things new every interview..... China, Bangladesh, Indonesia etc.

We told you guys to advise Obi to talk less but Obi and his gang believed that social media visibility will win him election. Let him continue.

2tpick:
The person you support was shouting bulaba balablu, gazelle gagaraga and I will hit the ground running in 2023. The masses are getting it hot today. We know who is empty and who doesn't want a fair contest

You must be either first rated or above for you to lead first rated brain, earn and retain their respect for long. Can Obi compare with majority of Tinubu's disciples?
Tunde Fashola
Ambode
Sanwo-olu
Yemi Cardoso
Osibanjo
Ben Akabueze
Edu
Present NRS chairman
Hazmat
Etc.
All the above worked with him before he became president. If Tinubu then had to select a list that Obi was included, Obi would have been grateful appearing in his third eleven.

harsysky:
Let's assume you are right. Tell us the candidate that has come up with clear cut plans on how to run the nation. You have the floor.

Let's assume that you are right, are you saying that there is no different between Obi and other candidates? You have always marketed him as better than all, absolute solution provider and the man that will solve all Nigeria's problems in six months of his presidency.

You have the floor.ddd

ViceGovernor:
No matter the situation, I will always get a bunk in Redeemers high school.

Worst come to worst I will sleep in auditorium any of the 3.

Do you know since they built that 3/3 kilometers auditorium I haven't set eyes on it.
The last time I was in camp was during the convention they doing the fundraiser to build it.

APC is like the bubonic plague.... everything just became hard since they got in.

We are the regulars. I should be in camp for the ministers conference. The conference is the main thing. Daddy calls it in-reach. Hard truths are said. Internal policies are discussed and exposed to true redemites. That's why it's not broadcasted. Audio recordings are not released generally but only vital parts are forwarded to senior pastors. It's almost like a solemn assembly.

dchamp234:
The target of this year's convention worldwide is up to $1billion, nothing goes to charities and the poor in their mists. The world is moving forward while Nigeria keeps going down. Christians die everyday and pastors are cashing out.

I will like you to a research on the economic and social impact of the RCCG convention. If you are sincere the results will amaze you. RCCG is a global super brand. Come over. I will be there for the entire one week. Your country that has no stable electricity. Redemption City of God runs 24/7 electricity that is privately generated. Nigerians should come and learn leadership from Nigerian mega churches.

ViceGovernor:
I miss convention 😭

Yet another one and I won't be attending, it has never been this bad.

Getting accomodation in camp is not difficult, food is everywhere you look in camp.

Transportation is the problem, I have to cross about 11 states to get to redemption camp.

Accommodation is a major challenge ooo. So much crowd.

Anigreat:
So people still the attend Rccg in 2026?

Funny 🤣. This is one of the largest events in Nigeria that attracts people from all over the world. RCCG is a global brand.

LagosOrigin:
All the corrupt politicians in Nigeria will run away from this country immediately Peter Obi is declared president , he will jail all of them and recover so much of what were stolen from the national coffers

Obi get balls? Person wey dey run away from ordinary party primary. Is he the type that will take tough decisions?

gammarays:
That means APC supporters are living in dark age
Contractors have been working night shifts for over 20 years. Ask Julius Berger

That was in the days of oil boom. Precisely mid70s to early 80s before Shagari's regime. From Shagari's regime it didn't happen again. Contractors work day and night to meet deadlines when funds are available and contractors are confident that their IPCs will be urgently paid.

AderonkeOlaniyi:
Online warrior. Anyone can claim anything online. Now vamoose fast!

I wouldn't show you pictures. Guy if you live in Lagos I will be willing to let an apartment to you if you can meet the standards. I'm currently working in Aba but I can give you my lawyers number.

Is not everyone that you really meet here that are your usual online warrior. Some can change your life. So tone down your gutter language. Life is a mystery.

Stephen0mozzy:
Lemme help you out, if you have the patience to read.

In the US (Oyibo land), the federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. A high-range 3-star hotel can go for up to $250 per night.

If the Oyibo man earns minimum wage, works 8hrs a day, he'll only need to work for 5 days to be able to lodge in a 3 star hotel.

In Nigeria, the Federal Minimum wage is #70,000, you work 8am - 5pm (That's 9 hr days), let's even say 5 days a week (22 days a month).

Thus:
Your daily pay is ~#3,200
Your Hourly pay is ~#385

Which means, you'll have to work for 17 days before you can afford to lodge in a bare minimum hotel in your own country.

So, when we talk, we don't talk blindly like your kinds that react blindly.

You mentioned income you didn't mention cost of living.

AderonkeOlaniyi:
Close your mouth there and hide those fingers of yours fast! I can see that poverty has really dealt with so many people that they now see survival as progress.

When logical questions are asked the illogical resorts to abuse.

Can what you call a poor Nigerian use a V6 car and live in a house of his own in a major city in Nigeria?

GanagiBitrus:
Since the comparison is Average Oyibo vs Average Nigerian, the definition of Average doesn't matter.

My comment remains valid for whatever criteria you use to define Average.

Who is an average oyibo and Nigerian.

Nword22:
True Nigerians love Abacha,he brought so much respect to our country and military..not now that historical opposition from hell just manage to produce one vice president and another one who claimed presidency '... emergency lovers of Nigeria.

Nigerians love Abacha? Are you for real. Brought respect to our country when Nigeria was a reject by major countries of the world? Maybe I'm not reading well.

GanagiBitrus:
$40 is far more affordable to an average Oyibo, than ₦55k (same $40) is affordable to an average Nigerian.

Your monthly salary must be well over ₦500k to see ₦55k hotel as cheap.
How many Nigerians earn as much as that?

What's your definition of average?

Stephen0mozzy:
Oyibo himself shock.
But that's like Big Man price for us sha.

If your salary is #70,000 that's $52. Dem nor born you well make you lodge for the hotel 😂

If your salary is that low what would you be doing in a hotel if you have to pay the bills? In the oyibo's country would someone that earns minimum wage lodge in average hotel except he pays through credit card?

Team everything is wrong with Nigeria nawa for una.

deebrain:
You people are doing like comedians.

Please, if it did not leak, will you people have started looking for who you will accuse?

You people don't even have dignity and regard for the souls of the departed.

Una don accuse ABACHA tire over Nigeria's woes, now Buhari.

Like seriously.

Who blew it open?

Amotolongbo:
If it originated from Buhari’s administration, how come it didn’t appear in any of the Buhari’s administration budgets?

Someone now high in this government blew the cover off. If he didn't they could as well have succeeded. My feeling is that there could be similar ones operated in the past but this one exposed them all.

The civil service in this nation is very porous. The controls are so poor.

favor914:
Bros Rufai, make u relocate go GH.

In life when you take hatred to extreme when you say the truth people will not take you serious. It is glaring that Rufai's assignment is to find anything to run down Tinubu and APC. If he's a member of any of the opposition parties I wouldn't mind. He says that he's a journalist. The picture that he's depicting is that any time that you switch on Arise TV and Rufai appears then you should know what he will say.

I watch other presenters. Some have levels of biase but Rufai's own is pure hatred. I think PBAT is broad minded. If it had been OBJ's government, he would have blacklisted Arise TV from all government activities.

Judemarco31:
Tinubu/APC should campaign based on what they promised Nigerians in 2023 if they have achieved any of them instead of injecting viruses into opposition parties and paying foreign lobbyist to paint them good. If they have done good their achievements supposed speak for them. They don't need to be judge on their own case.

Which lobbyist? The one that was paid $1.2 million by Atiku for just one year?

Which achievement? The one that is glaring to the trained brains. Oh I forgot that your standard is let a bag of rice be #20,000 and $1 = #450 even if it means trading away our future. Let consumption be cheap and let there be no capital formation for the future.

MemphitzDgreat1:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu has brought utmost shame to the Presidency. That's why he doesn't command respect from his counterparts.

Tueh! 🤮
I pour heavy mucus spit on top his useless senile head!

Who are his counterparts?

Wealthoptulent:
can RUFAI be PROFESSIONAL once?

Rufai is not a journalist. He's the publicity secretary of the opposition parties? His assignment is anything to run Tinubu and APC down. I wonder what he will be doing after Tinubu wins the 2027 election and finally sworn in.

Gingerly:
I watched the show.
Abati said that the case of drug money forfeiture had been settled by the court but Rufai countered him saying that the court only said that documents relating to the issue were not presented to the court within the stipulated timeframe, so it doesn't mean that the issue of forfeiture has been settled.
Ojy and Rufai then asked Abati whether or not the issue can still be brought up in court but Abati was speechless and ashamed of himself.
You will always look stupid while defending nonsense.

How did Abati look speechless and ashamed?
