It's called Jagaban political hurricane.

So what do we call him leaving AD for the newly “formed” party?

He left where he was and formed another party. This would have been defection as used in Nigerian politics if the new party was formed by others and he left his existing party to join them.

If Obi had left PDP and formed LP, this wouldn't have been defection. But Obi defected to LP that was formed and ran by others to enjoy the benefits in LP which he couldn't get in PDP. Are you ok?

Someone needs to call these people to order

Build your own or tell the government to build cheap houses for you.

Lies. AD is not AC/ACN and never changed to AC/ACN.

Tinubu left AD almost at the end on his tenure alongside disgruntled AD members including Bisi Akande when they had leadership tussles and formed AC which metamorphosed into ACN.

AD exists to this day and has its national chairman.

The key word "formed" and not "defecting" to an existing party. Ditto for Buhari.

I have said it and I will continue to say it: I don't belong to any party. I am not too interested in politics. The best that we could get between PBAT, Atiku and Obi when it comes to political economy is PBAT. While Atiku and Obi will look for initial garagara to earn popularity and mass acceptance that will make our future worse PBAT will look at the future and take hard and unpopular decisions.That was what he did concerning Lagos.

If there is a time Nigeria needs a leader like PBAT, it's now. Someone who can take hard and unpopular decisions to realign the foundation of the political economy of this nation. If PBAT finishes eight years and gets the right disciple to succeed him then the world will see a new Nigeria. Those that are used to the norm will definitely not like this regime. But the schooled neutrals will tell you that we are on the right path.

I'm not an agbado. I'm a pastor, trained in finance, from the south east but lived all my life in Lagos. Some of the hands in this government I have worked under them. A lot of brilliant Lagos boys (from all tribes) are behind this government. Pat Utomi is behind the scene advising this government. I will be highly disappointed if PBAT fails.

DLSReigns:
Minister Wike. It is evident you are trying. But Pls if you must repeatedly give kudos, let it be to Nigerians footing the bills for the project. Patriotism should come before loyalty to a man. My observation though.

Nigerians footing the bill? Why didn't Nigerians foot the bills in past regimes? Let's appreciate when people do well and condemn when otherwise.

Leaving Nigeria for UK for my masters immediately after graduation. Mistake.

Different strokes

benuejosh:
Nigerians love free things. Our former leaders spoilt us.

Our fake life is now before us. Adjust to the new life.

Don't mind them. I ration my power usage. Light only in the room where someone is, freezer off at night, no aircon, no ironing, no washing machine etc.

We must live like people in abroad. They manage their cost.

Acidosis:
TikTok is not the problem. Nigerians are not the only people on TikTok.

The issue is that there is no incentive for these students to study hard. When the head is rotten, you cannot blame the feet. These students see their parents, who passed JAMB, struggle to pay school fees. They also see complete dullards who struggle with the English language become governors. They observe nonentities and road traffic thugs command more respect and honor than their teachers and professors.

They see total dullards and criminals with nearly empty heads rise from nothing to Aso Rock, while their parents wey carry book for head struggle to provide basic things like egg and milk.

Teach and sweat all you want; nothing will change until your professors stop rigging elections for vagabonds who forge certificates and cannot construct proper sentences. Your leaders must model the society they want through their own conduct. All that 'do as I say' nonsense belongs to the 16th century.

These are no excuses. If they believe that education has no meaning why are they in school?

realmarkanthony:
Now that's having mutual respect

Mutual respect? Nay. It means telling you that you are too poor that you can't afford a jet to fly down. It's equivalent to someone inviting you and sending a tfare. Wouldn't this be an insult to you?

Oga calm down. Politics is not law and law is not politics.

PBAT agreed with Wike on what he will get if he performs. Wike delivered and PBAT delivered. Both parties are happy and are ready to do it again.

Through PBAT's reforms even though there is hardship associated with it the subnationals have enough money to run their governments. Salaries are regularly paid. Nigeria has become major construction sites. Haven't you heard Oti, Soludo etc commend his reforms. If you are a PDP or LP governor would you like Atiku or Obi to come and scatter things for you so that you will not have money to run your government. Think....think...man think.

raddyworld:
Many of you don't know TINUBU.
LISTEN AND LISTEN...
TINUBU IS THE MOST DANGEROUS POLITICIAN IN THE WORLD PRESENTLY.
Trump even embarrassed buhari earlier in his tenure. But not for Tinubu despite his way of ruling.
Someone that can dare buhari and Nigerians by emi lokan when he is not in power and now in power . You don't need prophet to tell u that it is only God that can remove him against 2027.
The guy doesn't talk unlike Obasanjo that always shows his ext move. It is WISDOM to win your enemy without strife.
I am thinking after his tenure he may make it a regional government or even divide Nigeria.
Which Only the bold and tough people can do.

Hahaha 🤣😂

Igirigimercenar:
What kind of offer is tinubu giving to this people?

I mean I have never seen this kind of thing in my whole life

Not like the present administration is performing or even trying to perform, infact it is the worst administration I have seen so far on earth. So what is tinubu offering this people that the rest of us don't know about

Oga Fergie001, what is going on my brother?

Go and study politics 101. Some expo..... other parties are worthless. Other likely presidential candidates cannot win election because they are not organized forget about the social media noise. Everyone is beginning to see that PBAT's reforms are real and are headed in the right direction. If he wins re-election and drives the reforms for eight years he might end up being one of the greatest presidents from this nation. PBAT has a track record of delivering whatever you agree with him eg. Wike. So if every other roof is leaking and there's no hope of repair and there is one roof that is solid and dependable wouldn't you go there and take cover?

kingsways:
If you compare the situation today with that of 2012, there was absolutely no need to protest

The so-called protesters, where are they now. Are they all dead? That’s the question Obi asked, a valid question

You can't compare apple and oranges. During Jonathan's time OBJ had paid off many of the debts so debt servicing was low. The price of crude oil was high. The reserves were high. These two helped him to subsidize petroleum products and fx. He didn't inherit backlog of unpaid obligations. The subnationals were not broke to the extent of owing months of salaries. He didn't invest in infrastructure. Without having the future in mind what then did he need the increase for.

Back to the present situation, all the above adverse conditions were obtainable when this regime took over. Without removal of subsidy on FX and petroleum products Nigeria would have been totally grounded by now. The country is afloat today and meeting her obligations at subnational, federal as well as internationally because of the subsidy removal. So why should you protest now and refuse to protest then? Most likely your answer will be hardship. The present hardship is caused by past leaders reluctance to take the decision that is taken today when the pain would have been less because they didn't want to be unpopular.

CorrectionFLuid:

Those countries provided proof that data was breached.

Nigeria didn't produce any proof and we won our case against them in court. How some Nigerians think and ridicule this nation eeh. Foreigners have more respect for Nigeria than some Nigerians have.

This is the only weapon that she thinks that she depends on: call upon the media,cso etc to make a show of her actions rather than face the truth. This woman has no interest in senatorial work. Just make noise, create content and be publicized. That's all.

Well done INEC and their partner in rigging, Supreme Court

They did nothing wrong. They simply interpreted the law. Have you forgotten how the law was interpreted and APC lost the whole of Zamfara State - from governor to legislatures.

Igirigimercenar:
Give it to tinubu. He has made sure everything works out according to his dictate.

They should just allow him see out his remaining years in power. Buhari should be blamed in all of this, you know how greedy and corrupt tinubu is yet because of your indifference to your party activities, you allowed a dictator from Lagos to corner the rest of the country to his pocket

How else do you explain the fate of the opposition parties in Nigeria today. It's bizarre

But let it be on record that a precedent has been set by a Yoruba president. I just hope when another person from another tribe takes the mantle,I don't want to see those fake pastors and fake professors from the south west speak again.

Is it the duty of the president to fix opposition parties? Didn't Jonathan do everything to ensure APC was not registered? Opposition should fix themselves. In any contest the opposing teams will like to be stronger while doing everything to ensure that their opponents are weaker. Obi and Atiku are SPV users and not organisers. By implication they will not make good presidents.

Spurs remain the undisputed favorites based on recent head-to-head.

So much celebration of getting to the final for a competition that Mourinho won and United didn't appreciate.

Hahaha.... today is Deeper Life, tomorrow is Redeemed and Living Faith. Bloggers must chop.

richmond500:
I on AC for only 5mins and put it off when the room is cold, I do this like 7-10 times a day.

I put of everything when I leave house in the morning and put them back on in the evening.
I don't see how I should be spending 20k on light bill, it doesn't make sense

No na you should spend #100 per month on electricity.

Nigerians have been spoilt by petrodollar that gave us subsidized life. We need light and we are ready to pay. Now you have light but to pay you are complaining.

festacman:
Looking obvious that President Tinubu had since formed an alliance with Gov. Soludo/APGA as evident by his deliberate overlooking of Anambra State APC to appoint Bianca Ojukwu, Mark Okoye jnr, etc of APGA into key governmental positions.

By implication, Gov. Soludo is hoping, believing and trusting that by this alliance, APC will not rig him out in next Anambra State governorship election.

Perhaps, it is most likely that Tinubu also believes that an incumbent governor Soludo will guarantee 25% in 2027 than an imposed APC governor.

We keep watching.

Empty permutations.....Soludo is too polished to play tribal politics. He likes PBAT's quality and PBAT likes his quality. Generally many of the technocrats in politics love PBAT. Check some of them...Pat Utomi, Rewane, Soludo, elrufai, Oti etc.

ObaOfYorubaLand:
There's nothing to study about, he's just a man who believes he can buy even your father and mother against you, it's as simple as that.

How come everyone agrees that he should buy them over if your assertion is correct.

Love or hate him, he is politics personified. He courts and helps you when he needs nothing from you. When he needs something from you, you can't say no. He keeps no permanent enemies. He spreads his influence wide. He has all the tools of politics - mass communication. He stricks when and where you didn't expect him. Reasonably quiet but doing his thing underground. He doesn't care if you abuse him. Infact he once said that since he joined politics he has known that his middle name is abuse.

Everything about Prof Pat Utomi and politics ends in theory. The LP that he ran to how far? Volkswagen how far? Theory is not the same as practice. Shadow government in a presidential system? Show us where it happened.

casualobserver:
Fellow Nigerians, please stop basing your lives on the advice of babalawos and marabouts. This is what happens, you start talking like a foolish man at 80!

The NPN-NPP alliance was a governance/parliamentary alliance after the NPN had won the election but did not have enough seats in parliament. That is how Ezeoke from NPP became speaker! The alliance came AFTER the election. It was a post election allliance for governance and just like the ZIK/Balewa alliance, both eventually failed.


Secondly a presidential candidate and his VO must come from the same party. You can’t be presidential candidate from PDP and Vp candidate from LP. So does this mean Obi is going back to the structure of criminality?

Toh!

Don't Atiku deceptive statement.

Bullet01:
My people....let's support Sowore in the coming election. We need someone of his calibre to rescue our nation from these political prostit.utes. Peace

Inexperienced politician?

Deepspirituals:
Even a Toddler won't say this

What you say is what you have. Any name that you call your dog is what will be its character and that's what you will benefit from it. I have never seen any nation that the citizens talk negatively about their country like Nigeria. At the height of the terrible situation of Ghana when their citizens were turned to slaves Ghanaians were never this abusive of their country.
