Adeleke is stranded. A political orphan looking everywhere for adoption.
E find am reach hin opponent house.

In politics and life generally it is counter-productive to foreclose relationships so long as they are beneficial and you have in place an exit passageway out of the arrangement. Obafemi Awolowo missed out on that critical rule of power. If he had played his cards right the Presidency was his with Shehu Shagari as Vice-President. Nigeria would have been better off for it. Rigidity will bring you into ossification.

Ofunaofu:
Absolutely. When Adeleke moves into the APC, he will become the undisputed APC leader in Osun State

Folks must keep going to country home ! They cannot avoid that! Gba be!!!

Ofunaofu:
Oyetola should be prepared to welcome Adeleke into the APC

Adeleke will then take his rightful place as leader of the APC in Osun State. He has performed better in office as Governor than Oyetola. Adeleke has by way of infrastructural projects touched the lives of the people than Oyetola did.

Slytiger:
This man and the ease at which he lies.

I remember his one wrist watch saga.

The claim, voiced while tapping at his wristwatch during a question and answer session that followed his speech proper, is: “This is the only watch I have; I have owned it for seventeen years.”

Please let Obi rest nah! Is Peter Obi not at liberty to change his wrist watch straps! This PO hatred is too much jarhe!

INEC will be waiting for you guys who lack focus and trade in deceit. Soon you will start complaining the court and not the ballot box is producing Producing the President.

Misconceived and poorly constructed idea of a physical structure! Good riddance to bad rubbish!

AMINDA:
Sensational headline and irresponsible journalism. It is a no-brainer that Obi will eventually resign if he intends to contest under the ADC. Despite Atiku resigning from the PDP, he has not officially joined the ADC. He would do so if he intends to contest the party primaries. People mistake this coalition for the merger that birthed the APC. The arrangement is slightly different.

Please remember to repost this when 2027 elections results are out!

Putindbutt:

E don red, what kind of wayo man is Obi for goodness's sake?, you shook head in LP, carry one leg inside ADC, another leg inside ADA. According to mama peace, na only you waka come 😂

Abeg lef mata! Obi tanda gidigba like triangle wey get strong legs tanda! Obi head nah popular LP. First leg nah ADC. Third leg Na ADA (nma)! Peter Obi is a goal!!!

It remains to be seen whether Obi will continue his giveaways if he loses the 2027 elections 🧐

Abimbola adelakun has just resounded what Nnamdi kanu and other good Nigerians has been saying about the man buhari .

He was a terrible leader and very tribalistic. He didn't hide it .

Actually, Mohammad Buhari was a wicked man while he lived and led Nigeria. Fayemi and his ilk speak differently about Buhari and have lost respect as their views about Buhari just collided with history that is well codified about who Buhari was while alive!

*The dictum, of the dead, speak no evil (de mortuis nil nisi bonum)*
- Abimbola Adelakun

The dictum, of the dead, speak no evil (de mortuis nil nisi bonum), speaks to the courtesy expected in interpersonal social relationships and hardly applies to public leaders. If we do not speak ill of brutal dead leaders, history will be written against us. Sometimes it takes the death of an influential figure for us to properly come to terms with their impact on our lives, and it is unfair to impose the burden of silence as virtue on those already victimised. For an especially repressive man like Muhammadu Buhari, who, from Decree 4 to having various laws enacted during his supposedly civilian rule to stifle dissent, we owe it to ourselves to speak. We must not forget that someone was tried for treason for insulting Buhari. While alive, it was illegal to dissent. Now that he is dead, his apologists still want to deem criticisms of him immoral. We cannot all be lotus eaters, sleepwalking through endless cycles of amnesia and unable to be stung into an awakening despite repeated jabs of the truth.
When we criticise the dead, it is for the living. The dead cannot hear us. Even while alive, Buhari turned a deaf ear to entreaties anyway. Yet criticising him in death is a moral necessity because what we are actually doing is to confront his cohort of enablers, apologists, irredentists, and lackeys who bleated, “Sai Baba!” as Buhari eroded our national will. They are the ones quoting poorly interpreted Latin maxims because they need us to forget their role in the Buhari administration. When we speak ill of the dead, we are also confronting his successors, who continue to rule as if there is no tomorrow. If the dead body of Buhari does not humble them, why should we, the people, be the ones to reflect on the meaning of death just because a bloody tyrant died? Our leaders need to hear our unfiltered thoughts about their dead peer so they will know that they cannot force their legacy merely by naming every public monument after themselves. And yes, we must also speak ill of the dead to redress the future. When a society has been subjected to repeated assaults such as the one Buhari inflicted, it is necessary to reassert the baseline of values he eroded so that future generations know that what he represented in no way constitutes the normative standard of leadership virtues.
Buhari lived and died a hypocrite. He demanded that Nigerians live by standards he himself never kept. In 2015, he campaigned on the promise of banning medical tourism but ended up invoicing Nigeria heavily for his medical upkeep. The Nigeria he left behind was one where teaching hospitals went for months without an electricity supply. The only hospital he equipped was the Presidential Clinic in Aso Rock. Nigeria still does not have a single properly functioning public hospital, but a leech like Buhari got the best medical care until his death. When he left office two years ago, Nigeria had the highest maternal mortality in the world and life expectancy was at an all-time low of 53! His failure in health was no different from the low marks he earned in areas such as education, energy, insecurity, transport, and other critical sectors. Public morale was low. The economy dipped into recession. He campaigned on resolve but governed on indecisiveness and compromises. His administration was so incoherent that he must have removed fuel subsidies thrice.
This was a man who came into power with such a massive amount of goodwill from Nigerians, expecting new beginnings. Everyone wanted to see what he would do, and if he had pushed himself to make some reforms, he would have received cooperation across a broad generality of Nigerians. Unfortunately, Buhari was the proverbial person who looked lost while the community looked up to him. As soon as he was elected in 2015, he started giving excuses about how old age would affect his performance. This guy ran one, two, three, four times before he finally won, only to realise he was too old for the job! It took him six months to appoint ministers, and when he unveiled the list, it was just a bunch of regular guys. One would have imagined it took him that long because he was putting in strenuous effort to recruit people who had studied the country enough to understand where we should go, but no. He was just an indolent man who thought complex problems could be solved by the mere force of his will rather than a disciplined study of issues and rigorous application of principles. Buhari was a man of whom fate promoted way beyond his mediocre intellectual and moral capacity, and he made no effort to justify the investment of providence in his life. He got to the top echelons of power pretending he was simple and “Spartan” when he was just too slothful to do anything else but just mooch off the country. He had nothing to offer the country in terms of ideas or insights, and acting as if he were self-disciplined and incorruptible was the perfect decoy. He was so steeped in his false virtues that he forgot to turn off the act even when it was no longer necessary. Up until this year, he was still lying about his lifestyle, claiming he lived off the rent he extracted from his tenants. A close acquaintance who worked with Buhari during the 2007 and 2011 campaigns told me the man did not even have a bookshelf in his house. He closed himself off to the world as it swirled around him, and the tide of history turned. Buhari was blissfully unaware of anything, and that was why his mind remained unevolved even as his body aged. Buhari was also a man who was wicked for nothing. He inflicted pain so many times, not because he had any larger end goal he was pursuing, but simply because he derived joy in seeing others suffer. Under his watch, 350 Shiites were massacred, and Buhari said they had it coming. Not only did he let Tukur Buratai, the mastermind, complete his tenure, but he also rewarded him with an ambassadorial position. Under his watch, they killed IPOB and EndSars protesters, but he was never moved by a pain that was not his. He was practically blind to all the havoc caused by terrorist herdsmen, even as they ravaged communities in Benue State.
With all the noise he made about anti-corruption, his administration drowned in scandals. Even his wife described his administration as the “citadel of corruption”.


Buhari’s economically enervating policies sapped life out of Nigerians. One of them, the ill-advised naira redesign policy, quenched lives and businesses. Buhari stoutly defended his decision to take that step until it turned out that he did not really care about the outcome that supposedly motivated the policy. That was the same way he closed the borders, not to achieve any economic goal, but simply because he needed to be seen as a tough leader.
Now that he is dead, those fortunate to see his back as he exits this world are awash in the delight that the Buhari who thought himself invincible finally submits to the burial mat. While death is a universal fate and no retribution for a man who lived to be 82, there is still some joy to be derived from outliving the person who stole from others’ lives to enrich his own.

Just shows who and who can get to be called to the bar and become a Lawyer in Nigeria.

Lioness5280:


You're so passionate about this issue...are you one of them jews from the East ?


And yes,we will always support the freedom of Palestinians until it is achieved....wail some more on that . But that doesn't mean that we want anything to do with any religion including Islam. We don't hate Muslims like you ,but we want SA religion free country . I'm sure what I've just said makes no sense to an emotional Jew-wannabe Nigerian

We also support African intra trade ,but that doesn't mean that we want your cultures here . We want your cultures to thrive but not here ...get it ?

And lastly ,when Israel gave Boeres nuclear weapons to finish us off,they never thought that we would rise and look them in the face one day ...that day has come

Your response is typical. It deserves no response from me.

Lionessza6:
Friends with whom ?

And ofcourse you're a Nigerian, you assume just because someone is your friend or brother then you're entitled to his home or properties . You have no appreciation for boundaries,rules and laws ....so your comment isn't suprising

If you place the issue properly within the context of happenings in Gaza and Hamas deeds in Israel plus the South-African prosecution of Israel before the ICC for defending herself against Hamas, Gaza and Palestinian murderous incursion into Israel you should see why folks are saying South-Africa is expected to welcome Palestinians, Gazans and Hamas with their ways that includes Sharia!!! Go the whole hog!!! Show that you truly are friends with them since you say they are not terrorists but merely fighting for their homeland! It would be hypocritical and hiding behind a finger to not do so.

Noooooo. South-Africa speaks from both sides of the mouth!! Going forward from their ICC Prosecution of Israel South-Africa should embrace Gaza and Hamas lock stock and barrel after all Gazans and Hamas have been welcome to immigrate to South-Africa.

Mynd44:
1. Dino's offense was televised and done in front of witnesses
2. Remi has never falsely accused anyone of sexual harassment before unlike Natasha

Plus -
1. Senator Remi Tinubu and Senator Natasha cannot share the same podium considering that Senator Natasha is widely known to be sexually immoral as shown by the numerous number of children she had by different men! Madam 4X4!
2. Some men have the record of how they escaped sex traps Senator Natasha laid for them!

Yemimovich:
He goofed too many times on politics. When the court upheld the the swearing in of the yes/no local government chairmen he met after his victory to become a governor, he wasn't satisfied. He wasn't patient to let them complete their tenure, then he went ahead to conduct his own election, and his party swept all local government seats. The incumbent ones went to court again, and the court still validated their election to complete their tenure, but the governor still wouldn't agree. Along the line, theocal government allocations have increased by far, and these yes/no chairmen are eyeing the money to get good pay, but it led to chaos that even caused deaths, closure of local govt secretariats. Right now, the federal govt has frozen their allocation for about 3 to 5 months now if I'm not mistaken. That's huge. He played into the big politicians' hands. He has submitted to their will. He will join the ruling party, and the cry of 15 minutes if you ask me is part of the game. They just taught him politics too. Dino broke his own neck, same as Fayose. Twas all charade. So, Adeleke, welcome to Naija politics. It's not your mate.

The interesting thing about Tinubu's style of doing politics is to move, speak and play in stealth mode! He prefers to leave it to you to trace to him yourself the source of the challenges confronting you and further allows you to choose between political and financial ruin that is sure to be your lot in the result. Sampler: Tinubu, till date, has said nothing about Dino Melaye who on the floor of the Senate sexually and emotionally harassed and traumatised his wife who was then a Senator. Dino Melaye threatened to impregnate her! He knew she was a married woman and married to no less a man than Tinubu. Tinubu said nothing but left it to Dino Melaye to discover the source of the political and financial calamities serially befalling him! He was recently revealed by Lere Olayinka as politically hopeless to the point that on the day of Kogi gubernatorial election in which he was a candidate he remained at home trending on social media instead of voting - at least, for himself. Take Adeleke for another example, Tinubu had the traps well laid out for the dancing phenomenon of an Osun State Governor who was politically and financially strangulated to the point that he was generationally ridiculed when the photo record of the obeisance of a private visit to President Tinubu was released to the Press! Deji Adeleke knew he was finished and had to have a representative of next gen Adeleke to eat of the humble pie otherwise his financial empire will receive further bashings to the point of ruination!!! Tinubu took the dance out of the feet of the dancing governor and left him weeping instead. Don't toy with Tinubu without God on your side. As for Pastor EA Adeboye and the RCCG - they have God on their side!!!

COPIED AND FORWARDED

I told my British friend, a 56-year-old colleague today, that our former president died last weekend in the UK.
He said, wow, was he on exile here ?
I said NO, he was sick.
He replied, "so why did he not go back home to get good treatment ?"
I said he came here to get a better treatment.
At that point, he got confused and was looking at my face.
I said to him, "Why are you looking at my face ?"
He said, "That means you only have better colleges than us, you don't have good hospitals."
I asked again, how did you know we have good colleges, but we don't have good hospitals ?
He said, because all the good doctors here are Nigerians.
Buhari was a wicked soul!

NewHe:
What's the problem with that? Don't you see the Chadian leader, there!

And the Nigerien President bah! We know who they are as well! Birds of the same feather. By the way, you also saw Paul Biya there!😳. Paul Kagame is certainly not a fan of infamy !

immortalcrown:
A former president was buried and no president from another country attended the burial? Something is fishy here.

Trump was said to have described Buhari in his lifetime as “brain dead”! Leaders of other countries did not deceive themselves about who Buhari was: a wicked and clannish person with the blood of innocent Nigerians on his hands. They have and share intelligence on Buhari and knew what sort of notoriety he had attached to his life!

joelbooks:
Yusuf Buhari participated in lowering his dad to the grave and covering it.

What a true, humble and and courageous son

Poor P.R. job. I guess he attended the event riding a power bike at a breakneck speed traveling from the streets of Abuja where the FRSC has no record of him over speeding and the fine he was booked to pay as a result! What a society!

He meant to say Niger. Certainly not Nigeria. He voted against Nigeria and in favour of Niger in the choice of a continental union election of a Secretary General in which Nigeria had a candidate. Buhari represented Nigeria!

Zakarara:
Shey na Bihari, them bury so today... Let's all continue, tomorrow when posterity judges our actions and inactions some will say why speak about the dead. Is it good to deny the people of Kogi central representation for this long?

Do you have quality representation in Natasha? It was up to her constituency to recall her and have a bye election to replace her. If you did not do that then you take what you get!

The die is cast! Akpoti just reserved a permanent Chair for herself in the courthouse for the remainder of the term of this Senate! She entered the trip! Loud mouth Madam 4x4!

michlins:
That one can't happen here. You can be a Christian for all we care. Once you're a traditional ruler (not all these autonomous chiefs) na Dem get your corpse. They will wait for church or whatever creed to finish and take over the burial.


Na their masquerade go finish the whole thing

Nnewi no dey carry last😊
