If I Had Chosen Obi, It'd Be A Mistake, Tinubu Has Been Preparing To Be President Since 1990s - Kukah

The Bishop of the Sokoto Catholic Diocese, Matthew Kukah, has revealed that if he had chosen the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi as his preferred candidate, he would have made the same mistake he made in the past because Bola Tinubu is the only candidate who came prepared for the job and has been preparing since 1990s.

In an interview with Channels Television, Bishop Kukah revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari and the duo of former presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Olusegun Obasanjo, among others who became Nigerian leaders were unprepared, but he is happy that for the first time, Nigeria is going to have a president in the Calibre of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is well prepared for the job.

The Bishop further revealed that both Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar were not prepared for the presidency, and no president or head of state in the history of Nigeria ever came prepared for the job of the number one citizen of the country except the President-elect, Bola Tinubu, who has been nursing and preparing for the task decades ago.

He said, "If I had chose Peter Obi, it would be a mistake, Tinubu has been preparing to be president since 1990s. You can go all the way down in Nigeria, you're not going to find one single person who has been President or Head of State in Nigeria that came prepared for the job. Atiku and Obi weren’t prepared for this job and that’s why I said we should not make the same mistakes in rushing to just get someone anyhow who is not prepared to be the president of Nigeria again".

Note, these are local government results and not PU results.

Pure recklessness.
But as usual, FRSC came up with a lame excuse in defense '...... He said the driver of the patrol vehicle developed a sudden health challenge while on motion and ran into some people who were in front of a shop.'

Hunger everywhere!!

The term 'good' here, is vague and subjective.

Good manners/behaviour, doesn't necessarily translate to tolerance and commitment, required to sustain a marriage.

Pre-2015 election video. Obama clearly supporting opposition that got us where we are.

How do you explain Qatar's gas reserve? Despite not being a major oil producer has so much gas reserve and number 1 LNG supplier in the world......

Doesn't make sense!!

The same west created the union and called it Nigeria.

It's just what when there is no justice and equity. Dont blame the west....

Hummm

'We cannot confirm' and 'we confirm' are two diffe? rent phrases with different meaning.

This ⬆⬆⬆ is the first article that answered the question that I asked yesterday.





This is not 1985. It was difficult to verify this kind of news item in 1985, but today all these agencies and people are online and verification is much easier. That's why I immediately went to the FBI's list of wanted terrorists when this story broke yesterday. There's no Pantami on the list. See for yourself. https://www.fbi.gov/wanted/wanted_terrorists


Now, if it was some top secret list that nobody had access to, do you think that Nigerian newspapers would have access to the information?

That's the other thing, how come the story only appeared on Nigerian news sites (most of them copied it from Daily Independent)? How come it's not on the BBC, CNN, etc?

This looks more like some kind of propaganda campaign.

The news was not that he was a 'wanted terrorist' but places on 'watchlist'.

He may or may not be as retracted... but my point is that they two different things and this link doesn't answer the questions on people's mind.

Hello all, I wanted to know if they sell Ben and jerry's Ice cream or Hagen daz ice cream in Nigeria. I miss it alot.

Yes, it depends where you are, they sell Hagen Daz in Lagos.
I understand your craving... Premium brand

Aconomist:
Wasted effort. Why not employ those people to clean up sidewalks and perform maintenance instead of senseless road painting?

You think it's senseless?? I personally think it's absolutely important on our roads. Most of the roads are not lit and I have experienced drivers unable to stay in their lane due to lack of the marking/demarcation (especially at night) and on several occasions, drifted into other lanes....

Unarguably, there is a very good reason for it!!

Impressive and commendable!

This is what IMO should have but Rochas used the money to enrich himself and built family estate. Thief!!

Emulate Akeredolu Before Fulani Herders Take Over Your Land — Borno Cleric Advises Southern Governors

The Director General, Centre for Justice and Ethnicity in Nigeria, Pastor Kallamu Musa Ali Dikwa, has urged governors of southern states to emulate a recent move by their Ondo counterpart, Rotimi Akeredolu, to prevent Fulani herders taking over their land

Akeredolu had earlier banned night grazing and given an ultimatum to herders in the state to vacate forest reserves.

Speaking in an interview with SaharaReporters, the Borno cleric described Akeredolu's action as a step in the right direction.

He, however, urged governors from the South-East, South-West and South-South to follow suit.

He said, "The southern governors had better take charge of their lands and send the Fulani people back to the North. Must they stay in the South? I am speaking from experience because I am from Borno State and these people took all our land. They sent our fathers and mothers away from the farms. Our people are in internally displaced persons’ camps; they cannot stay in the villages for fear of being killed.

"Any Fulani you see in Borno is a settler, we accommodated them and see what we got. The target is Southern Nigeria and it is better the people speak up now, so that Fulani will not take over the land."

He also alleged that the Fulani people causing trouble in the country are from neighbouring countries with a mission to take over the economy.

According to him, the majority of the bureau de change operators in Abuja hardly speak Hausa language as they either come from Mali or Niger Republic.

He added, "In Abuja here, the bureau de change operators cannot even speak Hausa, they are not Nigerians but Nigeriens. They have come to take over the economy and once they do that, they will start controlling us."

He revealed that a northern Christian cleric who was kidnapped and later freed was told by his captors that they planned to kill all the Christians in the North and thereafter storm Southern Nigeria.

He said: "That pastor will not tell you this, they are being diplomatic with this kind of information instead of speaking out so everybody will know. The problem of insecurity has come to stay, but we need to speak out so the narrative can change. We can't keep folding our arms while our people are being killed.

"Two of the kidnappers who kidnapped the pastor here in the North are actually based in Benin City, Edo State; they are already in the South. The onus is on the governors to take charge. Federal government will not help anyone."

You should compare the minimum wage in both countries.

Vile statement from Sowore!!

You strongly campaigned for him and brought him to power in 2015.

You should be apologising instead...

Thought provoking!

Indeed our legacy and impact on others is all that matters.

I would have taken him seriously if he said this in 2015.

Internal sabotage/arson?

True, these porperties are linked to individual and the reason they were torched are not far fetched. But what doesnt add up to me is the NPA building, thats not the only federal building around there... How many federal properties were torched?

Just thinking outside the box tho...My own opinion

Attention seeker!!

Her reportage and judgements are always warped.

To me, the MPA building fire seem like an internal sabotage/arson. Why would the so called hoodlum target the MPA building in mariner far away from Lekki where the alledged distructions largely took place? Also, there are other government structure as well in mariner which were not torched, why just MPA, it doesn't make sense....

It seems the wind is blowing and the cock's an** is about to be revealed....

Crap!!

RuddyFusion:
The reason is simple....Nigeria Government will persecute them.,.that's just it no other reason..

Plausible and not far fetched.

chucs:
No peace for the wicked!

Have they eventually dumped the bodies of the Lekki slain heroes there because of the bad media coverage it is generating internationally?

Anybody involved in that killing will never know peace, including the paid miscreants defending such acts here. I shudder when I read stupid comments, asking for the relatives to come forward and other stupid stuff in support of that barbaric act.

How much were they paid? 30 thousand? 50 thousand? Money that u will spend in a snap of the finger. I believe in Karma. So one way or the other, their nemesis will befall them.

Exactly!!
It really baffles me when I read such comments. Where is our human conscience these days?

' I get am before no be property' !

What can Nigeria offer now amongst its contemporary is what matters.

Na wao!!

Appalling.

Apt response!

Couldn't be better....

Interesting read.

Get a life joor!

That's commendable but let him set a good example by returning his humongous loot to the states coffer and ofcourse use the money judiciously to serve the people... Things will certainly change.

Also, remember salary is not the main thing. Their allowance is where they reap of the country.
