AustineE1: I am sure if he can do just one tenth of the projects he awarded in Lagos alone in the entire South East,he would have been praised to high heavens!he may not even need to campaign at all to win the south east. Remember I said,just one tenth of projects he awarded in Lagos alone! He is the undisputed premier of south west region of Nigeria.
Even if he does 200 percent our people will still hate. We hate morbidly. The PDP that we so much love and supported for 16 years what did they do?
anonimi: If Atiku did any wrong, why has he not been prosecuted since 2003 after Obasanjo secured his second term, and since 2015 when APC corruption fighter Buhari was allowed to change Nigeria?
How many billions of dollars have been spent by APC to give 150 million Nigerians adequate electricity, since they have borrowed more than PDP despite removing subsidy TWICE and bragging about hitting higher revenue targets in August to stop borrowing?
I don't like wasting my time in discussing with people that divert from main line of discussion. You praised how Atiku's deregulation and privatisation made Nigeria an El Dorado. I quashed the fallacy. You are now changing it to why he was not arrested if he was allegedly corrupt. Bye ....no time to waste.
- deregulation of the telecom sector, - privatisation of NNPC's petrochemicals divsion to Indorama, - privatisation of Nigeria Air to Virgin Atlantic
The overall success of these policies gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity, peace and security with low debt burden that APC and Tinubu have destroyed since 2015.
The telecom sector was only deregulated. Gsm was allowed in because it was the latest technology. Even smaller nations had it. Where are the assets of nitel? Efforts to privatize nitel failed woefully. Atiku and his friends vandalized the once national priced asset.
Privatisation of Nigerian airways to Virgin Atlantic? Are you for real? Nigerian airways that was ran aground? All assets vandalized. Up till now past workers have not been settled their entitlements. Where is our national carrier that replaced Nigeria Airways? Virgin is a British airline and has remained so.
You have not lectured me on the privatisation of Nigeria National Shipping Line. Where is it today? Where are the ships?
You have not told me how privatized NEPA became worse than old NEPA after injecting over 16 billion dollars. We are still suffering it till today.
anonimi: Atiku’s deregulation and privatisation policies were the bedrock of PDP’s 16 years of widespread prosperity, peace and security with less debt burden for Nigerians.
What is Tinubu doing with the greater public money he has been stealing since 1999 from Lagosians and since 2023 from Nigerians
Like deregulation and privatisation of NEPA. Like deregulation and privatisation of ascon. Like deregulation and privatisation of nnpc.
Flame333: The same thing they said about him when he proposed to sell our refinery of elected but the same APC criticizing him are the ones doing far worst....
We know how the matter dey go
When they are discussing what you don't know it's more honourable to remain silent.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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 .........
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.
