But this is what he said in 2023- “https://www.nairaland.com/7431968/2023-open-restructuring-state-police#118369324”.
Now very clear that Kwaks is very unstable and lacks capacity to rule Nigeria. He cannot appreciate that Nigeria cannot be effectively policed by a Unitary police force. He just blew 2031!

That is long in coming. I was waiting. One way to deal with corruption in Nigeria especially in the power sector is to have the private sector get more involved in the power business. It takes a businessman with clout and with the fighting spirit Dangote has to get in there and get the job done. Our experience with NITEL and the telecoms industry speaks volume about what to expect going forward. The typical investor whether Foreign Direct or not, strictly goes by what International Rating Agencies say about our economic environment. They follow the macro indices. Dangote goes beyond and notwithstanding that.

Unfortunate lobbyist. Is Donald Trump voting in the Nigerian Presidential Elections? How influential is he in the North of Nigeria where the bulk of the votes are certain to come from?

Who is he?

APM Presidential Candidate, Governor Seyi Makinde, arrives Katsina State to kick-start his presidential campaign with a town hall meeting with North West stakeholders.

See frustrated Bala Bauchi further scheming himself out of position for the Presidency after the turn of the South-West is done in 2031. Bala Bauchi is so thoroughly worsted politically that he has become a faded and desperate politician.

Especially because the spoken English of the current Dean of the Faculty is said to bleed when he speaks in the English Language. Most unfortunate!!! He cannot effectively and efficiently articulate the position of the Faculty on issues and that is certain to affect its fortunes in every way!

He enjoys the goodness of God.

FSBoperator:
Under Abubakar Malami (AGF & Minister of Justice, 2015–2023), Nigeria's legal position in the OPL 245 case was marked by a significant internal contradiction:

During the UK trial, JPMorgan's counsel highlighted that Malami had written to President Buhari in September 2017 stating there was "insufficient evidence to support allegations that the Resolution Agreements were part of a fraudulent and corrupt scheme" — the exact opposite of the case.

In a 2023 memo to Buhari, Malami acknowledged that Nigeria's prospects of winning the OPL 245 cases were slim and recommended terminating all related litigation so the country could convert OPL 245 to an OML and exploit the block while oil prices remained favorable.

Malami publicly prosecuted the case abroad while privately telling Buhari he doubted the evidence, and ultimately conceded the litigation was unwinnable.

This was Malami's hustle.

Get hold of pending corruption files and cases , reach a private "settlement" with those involved and then kill the case .
I recall how there was serious friction between them VP, Osinbanjo and Malami.

Osinbanjo has requested certain case files of ongoing international arbitrations to study but was outrightly denied by Malami.

It was this same Malami that exonerated a minister of petroleum and a high level Nigerian OPEC executive for the disastrous P&ID scandal .

The man was regulating corruption and not in any way fighting it.

Yet he presently seeks to contest public office. Civil Society Organisations should be busy shouting "thief" on his head in several Nigerian languages he and his family will so ashamed that he will become repentant and return his loot .

PresidentAtiku:
will you just shup up there...

Improvement in electricty can only be confirmed during the dry season... What did they do differently? what major policy changes, what process improvements to have warranted improved electricity? It is a Naija thing that power improves during rainy season.

Now now you have attributed it to the Tinubu that said if he doesnt give us 24 hours power supply, we shouldnt vote for him

I know for a fact that in the reason season last year power was not this improved. Not in the last ten years at my location in Nigeria.
It is your choice to decide who has your vote during the next Presidential Election but you cannot deny my reality.

A former Honourable Attorney-General of The Federation and Minister for Justice, Mr. Malami attempted to steal from Nigeria by deceiving President Buhari to approve at least $200 million dollars to be paid on the Mambilla Power project.
https://www.premiumtimesng.com/business/business-news/910616-mambilla-how-malami-attempted-to-deceive-buhari-struck-corrupt-deals-with-adesanya-icc-tribunal.html

Civil Society Organisations who fight to ensure good governance should push this sort of news until it gets to the consciousness of all Nigerians including the neighbours of Malami and his village and village family relatives. It should be translated into all languages in Nigeria and regularly broadcast. The same should be done to folks convicted of corruption in Nigeria. The advantage to Nigeria is that it is a big step in keeping such thieves away from getting elected to office to steal more! The electorate will then know them for the criminals such politicians are and the shame will keep them away from running our affairs.

Makinde must stand against Tinubu to protect his political interests. According to Fayose, Tinubu told him directly in Aso Rock that he does not need Seyi to win. At the same time, Wike has openly declared his intention to wrest Oyo from Makinde’s control, making the stakes even higher.

The assumption that most Yorubas still support Tinubu is misleading. In reality, less than 40% want him to win. If Tinubu had performed strongly, it would have been politically suicidal for Makinde — or any Yoruba leader — to contest against him. But given Tinubu’s weakened standing, Makinde’s resistance is both strategic and necessary.

Well, the only way to prove your assertion that "most Yorubas still support Tinubu is misleading. In reality, less than 40% want him to win." is the result of the forthcoming Presidential Polls. While Yorubas, who feel as you allege, about Tinubu are entitled to their opinion, it is clear to the typical Yoruba person that Tinubu has, so far, done well both as a Yoruba person elected to serve as Nigerian President and as Nigerian elected to serve all Nigerians. The concrete roads he is constructing all over Nigeria especially the ones in Yorubaland and the macro and soon to be seen micro economic growth of the Nigerian economy as well as the great and undeniable improvement in electricity supply show that Tinubu is doing well as President and deserves to be so elected again for a second term. For fairly obvious reasons, it benefits the Yoruba if Tinubu is reelected and it does not benefit the Yoruba if he loses the election. Going by the recent electoral verdicts of the INEC in the Presidential elections a Tinubu loss is an Atiku win. Peter Obi is a third-position contestant while Seyi Makinde is not even on the cards AT ALL to win the Presidential elections. The likely effect of a Seyi Makinde contesting the Presidential elections is to reduce the votes of Tinubu and that benefits Atiku. Who loses in the long run if Atiku wins is Seyi Makinde himself, Tinubu, The Yoruba in that order! It is particularly worse for Seyi Makinde as he becomes ruined politically for life especially with the Yoruba his political base. He has a second address in the U.S. though but his father's house and compound in Ibadan cannot have a second address. If he thinks politically at all he should remember Samuel Ladapo Akintola, Omoboriowo, Akinjide, Akinloye, Kola Balogun et al who are classic examples of Yoruba politicians whose political decisions and affiliations stood opposed to the larger Yoruba interests and political affiliations. They all died lonely, forlorn and remain remembered particularly for betraying the larger Yoruba interests.

onatisi:
In the current political climate of the South West, his decision to contest the presidency under a new party is not about winning the national seat. Rather, it is a calculated strategy that echoes the footsteps of Tinubu. By positioning himself as the presidential candidate, he becomes the face of the party, ensuring that every campaign rally and every speech doubles as promotion for the party’s senators, representatives, and other candidates.
This approach transforms a presidential campaign into a vehicle for building legitimacy and visibility for a new political platform. While he may not expect to secure the presidency, the symbolic weight of being the party’s flagbearer strengthens its presence across constituencies.
In Oyo State, this strategy is particularly potent. The APC remains destabilized, while Governor Seyi’s popularity, rooted in visible achievements, continues to resonate with the electorate. Against this backdrop, his party stands to gain significantly. By leveraging the presidential campaign to carry along his candidates, he positions the party to win Oyo convincingly, turning a national contest into a local triumph. if you doubt my analysis , go to oyo sate and verfiy

While I totally agree that Seyi Makinde has done extremely well as Governor, his decision to contest the Presidency against Tinubu another South-Westerner who is also doing well, has pitched him against the typical South-Westerner who wants Tinubu back in office. The reason I say is because his candidacy has the potential to reduce the votes of Tinubu and rob him of an outright victory in Oyo State. If that happens Seyi Makinde’s political will never recover as it will do irreparable damage to his political base which is the South-West. Having said that I still have this hunch that at the last minute Seyi Makinde will step down for Tinubu. Sounds weird but you never know with politicians!

Owaincouncil:
Yes ooo. He said so and for that reason, we are going to do what he said

I used to think that way. However, since Tegbe came into office as Power Ministry the peculiar mess that Adelabu performed in his time was cleared away and we now have fairly stable electricity. Look around you when it gets dark.

onatisi:
makinde sabi politics , i swear . this is the only way he can maintain his power structure in oyo state . well done double 6

Seyi Makinde’s decision to contest the Presidency was fatal to his political future. He should have focused on becoming a Senator instead. Anyway, he has a second address in the U.S.A. where he keeps his family together and safely too!

[quote author=Iamdbull post=140706210]In a video circulating made by APM Presidential candidate Seyi Makinde. He stated in the video that Tinubu made it clear to everyone that “if he fails to fix electricity he should not be voted in for second term “

You pretend not to understand what Soludo is saying. In politics worldwide you look out for what best serves your interest.

Atiku is a thief and a shameless one at that!

Atiku the thief asked that proof be provided that he is corrupt. Here is proof! He is now saying it is political witch-hunt when the arbitration proceedings had nothing to do with politics!!! Atiku the thief is so shameless, wicked and lacks conscience. He should go into hiding!!!! Okonkwo his spokesperson should resign or partake of God’s judgement coming on Atiku the thief and ALL Politicians stealing Nigerian money no matter the political parties they belong to. Our fervent prayer is that God will continue to expose and punish all the thieves who are stealing Nigeria’s money and making the people to suffer. It is very painful that the Mambila Dam project has been on now for over 50 Years!!l

Charmingrascal:
Dear Dubai landlord was $500 million transferred to you from Mambilla power project through your wife or not.
Atiku is looking for a way to divert our attention from the scandal

Abubakar Atiku is a thief. A very wicked thief! The International Court of Justice decision should be translated into several Nigerian languages and published so we can keep Atiku the thief away from the public purse!

lapintoz:
We know. But we prefer Tinubu to an Atiku that collects $500,000 dollars bribe on every federal government contract he supports. At least we have seen a very good example in the Mambila Power Project.......😁😁😁

Abubakar Atiku who, the International Court of Justice has said corruptly received $500,000.00 out of the Mambila Dam presently wants to be Nigerian President. Journalists should spread this all over Nigeria in the languages the people understand to know that he is a thief who stole from the national Treasury and is responsible for the misery of the people!

Abubakar Atiku is a corrupt politician and fits the description that Obasanjo has made of his character in his book.

Kaa4:
This one is out because it favours the President. Yes, all of them do it! The video of Ganduje collecting $500k years back is still in circulation. The last of it is not yet heard.

They should all be punished no matter which party they belong to. EFCC cannot claim not to know about the malfeasance out in the open. Abubakar Atiku who could not deny the matter claims it is political witch-hunt! He thinks all Nigerians are stupid? His rump is out in the open!!!

Ofunaofu:
I used “moving train” as a metaphor, and you responded by constructing an entire imaginary railway system, tracks, locomotive, destination and even a timetable. At this point, the only thing running on imaginary tracks is your argument.

And I still insist you’re delusional and dull, not because you disagree with me, but because your own dates are arguing with each other. You say the presidential election is in January 2028, then say it is just four months away, and in the same breath predict what will happen after the 2027 general elections. January 2028 cannot simultaneously be four months away from September 2026 and be the period immediately following an election you keep calling the 2027 general election.

So before declaring that someone else is dull, perhaps get the calendar, the metaphor and the argument onto the same set of tracks.

My point remains: it was a metaphor. You turned it into a railway feasibility report, got lost in your own timetable, and somehow concluded that the train was imaginary. That’s not a rebuttal, it’s a spectacular demonstration of missing the point.

You were the dull mentality spotter here. You are the one who is smart and thinks someone else is dull. Someday you will learn to spot thinking that way. You will not hear from me on this matter again even if you do a thousand responses.

A closed mind cannot fathom how a metaphor could be deployed in response to a post that itself is metaphorical in composition.

Ofunaofu:
The real delusion is you taking my words literally and then building an entire railway around the joke. You’re obviously dull.

It was a metaphor, not a railway feasibility report. If you need tracks physically laid out before you can understand 'moving train', then clearly the destination isn’t the problem, comprehension is.

Folks reading us here know who the dull fellow is as between you and I. My point is made though!! A political party fielding a contestant in the Nigerian Presidential elections in January 2028 which is just four months away and insisting it is making progress while still so thinly spread across the country is indeed a locomotive train on imaginary rail tracks!!! Post 2027elections will conclusively show that it arrived nowhere!!!!

Tinubu's defeat will celebrated more than Abacha's demise that year.

Just remember to bookmark this page and return to comment on the aftermath of the 2027 presidential elections. A journey roughly halfway through Nigeria last night showed electricity supply was available EVERYWHERE along the road! Tinubu is now good to return!
