Your tweets may not make sense to everyone, but I find positives in all you tweet. Everyone is right & None is wrongly wrong. I learn, I teach; I read, I write; I Follow You, Please Follow Back🙏. We grow by lifting others. You are spectacularly special, that's why you saw this.
I’m telling you, bro. Don’t mind the OBIdients. They’ve been circulating clips from Obi’s interview as if Obi did something remarkable.
Hear Tinubu’s answer to question on insecurity here from the same channels tv. An answer from a serious policy perspective which offered more in the way of concrete, costed, & sequenced alternatives.
This is how leaders response to questions.
I’m voting for Tinubu!
Seun did well to press, but he received good lecture too.
I have always been attracted to Peter Obi because he speaks like me. I boast as well about my tenure in NERC. Since I left i have boasted that anyone who can validly bring a case of bribery or embezzlement against me i will walk down to prison.
No person running for presidency or who could run for presidency today has Peter Obi demonstrated honesty in high public office.
They will tell you that President Trump is also an old man, but he is always out there talking to Americans and the world directly by himself, explaining what his government is doing. He also visit troubled areas, physically, assuring the people on what his government is doing.
Like PMB like PBAT, president hides in their bunker, send all manners of 'attack dogs' on the citizens, attacking the person of dissecting views instead of promoting the policies and achievements of the administration they claim to be serving. When will PBAT hold press briefing?
EXACTLY! This is part of the question they don't want people to ask. How did the alleged fake agency's budget passed all the appropriation gates undetected? How many other undetected fake agencies do we have in the budget currently and how many existed in the past? It's insane!
That's not the question.
Nobody is asking the Budget Office whether the money was spent.
A so-called fake agency made it into Nigeria's 2026 Appropriation Act and got over ₦1.3 billion allocated to it.
The Budget Office says the money was never released because the controls worked.
Fine.
But how did an agency the government now says does not exist get an official budget code, an establishment approval and recruitment waiver, make it into the Executive Budget, pass through the National Assembly and get signed into law?
Who was supposed to catch that?
This is bigger than the ₦1.3 billion.
If the controls worked only after the allocation had already made it into the Appropriation Act, then we need to ask a bigger question about the controls that govern how things get into the budget in the first place.
Three front runner aspirants for the office of President of the federal republic…
One aspirants team is lobbying the US to review a longstanding case of money laundering and drug related offences forfeiture…
The others team is responding by reminding the former of longstanding allegations/ case of bribery…in the US.
Both have hired lobbyists.
Third Candidate stands clear of any scandals…money laundering, corrupt enrichment, bribery or otherwise. Has persisted in saying that any credible allegations of malfeasance while in office will result in him stepping down from the race. Has made the same challenge for years now and still…crickets.
And you say you don’t know who the best candidate is ???
My brethren in the lord…your character is suspect!
If '16 years of PDP' was a song worth singing throughout the 8years of Buhari and more, it will be proper to also sing '11+ years of APC' and weigh both regimes objectively, using the metrics of Unity, Accountability, Economy, Security, HDI, FDI, Free Speech, AntiCorruption, etc.
El Rufai claimed he eavesdropped on Ribadu, the National Security Adviser, but they haven’t presented that evidence.
Lere Olayinka presented the evidence of his treasonable crime, access to the Amin portal of the National Electoral System, yet the same INEC is giving excuses for him.
It’s not about the data that was accessed or exposed, but about the permissions and level of access that was used.
Nigeria is a crime.
The APC that bragged that they returned the national budgeting and fiscal cycle to Jan-Dec during the Buhari administration, and even claimed it as part of Buhari's achievements is struggling and defending the implementation of the 2025 budget in July 2026. Progressives indeed!😕
Much Ado about Kwankwanso Interview
Sometimes you guys should try and maintain some rigor in thinking. If you believe in zoning and say “Let the south finish its term and power should go back to the north in 2031”. What does that mean? It means that any southerner coming to the presidency will only serve for one term.
This man has been saying he will do one term only to keep faith with zoning, which is a critical element of Nigeria’s political stability. He is now doing what he promised and you are crying blue murder.
Before Peter Obi came out what stopped selfless Igbos from running for presidency? What? It is now you guys realize you have not been president for 100 yrs and must do 8 years?
Why cannot your great Igbo leaders like Emeka Ihedioha, Otti, Osita, Abaribe etc not run for presidency and do 8 yrs? Why are you lot begrudging Peter Obi for respecting the zoning arrangement?
He said he believes in zoning. Zoning requires that the north takes back power in 2031. If 4 years is too short for you, then come out and run for presidency and do 8 years.
…”an election in which thousands of eligible, willing, determined voters were prevented from casting their ballots ….”
The bla bla of righteousness!
Sounds like what the judges in your profession regularly do to thwart the will of the Nigerian electorate.
Everyone and their dog knows the legal profession has zero credibility in Nigeria.
Perhaps now you can all feel our pain
Happy Birthday to Peter Obi, my dearest Big Bro:
I will never forget your kindness to my beloved parents. Thank you for the respect you showed them, for your many visits to Abba, where you gave to Daddy and Mummy the most precious gifts: your time and your attention.
Thank you for walking this still-unbearable journey of grief with my siblings and me.
I remember how you regaled Daddy and Mummy with your stories until we started joking about your obsession with the “GDP of Malaysia.” But your obsession spoke of hope: your hope for Nigeria, your belief in what Nigeria could be. A belief that has always been practical, grounded in numbers and in reality.
I remember when you came to support me as I was being honored by the United Nations Foundation in New York, and I teased you about the inexpensive hotel you were staying in, and you shrugged and said, “it’s just a place to sleep, why do I need to be in an expensive place?”
And then only days later, you once again exhibited your incredible generosity to the causes you believe in, and it reminded me of all the hospitals and schools and churches you have supported over the years, and often without fanfare. You have always been clear about what your priorities are, what matters to you, what you believe should matter, and that is deeply admirable.
I have always admired your humane pragmatism, how you are willing to talk to almost anyone if it will bring about a good outcome.
And how you believe in certain ideals without being an ideologue.
And how you see people as people, knowing that human value is not measured in material terms.
And how you are able to laugh at yourself, and laugh when I tease you about your ‘one shoe and one shirt.’
And how you have always been consistent in the core of who you are.
Thank you for your compassion and your circumspection. For your honesty and your humour. For your willingness to acknowledge flaws, yours and others’, knowing that nobody is perfect. For your fuss-free kindness and your humility that is never performative.
I am inspired by your intellectual curiosity, your eagerness to learn, your genuine love of education (which is why you sought out, and honored, Daddy all those years ago when you learned that he was Nigeria’s first professor of statistics.)
Sometimes it is the simplest of language that captures the most complex of things, and so I will end with simplicity: You are a good man. You are loved. You are appreciated.
May your eyes continue to light up when you talk about the lovely confident Margaret (Thank God she agreed for you!) and your lovely children, A and E.
May joy follow you and yours always.
Mummy called you her ‘first son,’ my siblings and I call you our 'big bro,' and I cannot wait to call you ‘My President.’
I cannot wait for January 16, 2027, when I, with personal pride in you and with hope for what Nigeria can become, will cast my vote for you and your running mate, Former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso
Chukwu dube gi. God Keep you.
With love, Chimamanda Adiche
