As the FG makes concessions to calm Nigerian youth over #EndSARS , a grim reminder of history is apt. The Boko Haram menace that has cost our nation thousands of lives and billions of dollars, was started by the police, via the killing of Muhammed Yusuf extra-judicially.
Peter is my party, my party is Peter. I’m Obidient, Obidient is my name. Obidient then, Obidient now. They said we were four people tweeting in a room. But we turned to 6m. Even then, they doctored our figures. Happy birthday Sir Peter Obi, thank you for being who you are.
On behalf of my family, I extend hearty birthday wishes to my good friend, a dedicated patriot and former Governor of Anambra State, @PeterObi, on his 63rd birthday. May you enjoy many more years of good health and continued service to our nation. -AA
My dear Egbon, DR DOYIN OKUPE, I'm more amazed at your flip-flops Sir. You're Reno's senior in engaging in sophistry since your days as Obasanjo's Spokesman in 1999, till you fell out. You've defended almost all governments since then with your eloquence. What has Nigeria gained!
(I've been consistently in opposition in the last 42 years. Even the Buhari that I supported, regrettably, in 2015, I dumped within two months when I saw a total lack of direction, and I've apologised profusely and endlessly. I will never defend useless government policies. There's nothing more we want Nigeria to give us at this age and stage than good Leadership...)
You and I met at the London Hilton Metropole in the dying days of the Jonathan government and you boasted that no Jupiter can defeat Jonathan in an election. We had a bet of 20k USD and you lost. You begged me for debt forgiveness just two years ago at the Transcorp Hilton Abuja...
I'm sure you must have persuaded the gentleman that since the economists rated Nigeria very high, he can never be defeated. But you forgot that a government must never rely solely on theoretical economic indices. It must be balanced with real and practical economy.
(About two months ago, President William Ruto of Kenya was given Royal welcome to the White House in Washington DC. Today, he is being treated like a pariah in his own country. Heaps of praises from Western world cannot guarantee a safe economy...)
You later worked on the Presidential bid of Senate President DR ABUBAKAR BUKOLA SARAKI before ending up with GOVERNOR PETER OBI. I won't bother about the outcomes. Like Reno, I acknowledge your brilliance, but only both of you know why TINUBU is your sudden IDOL...
The people of Nigeria have never had things so bad and you're both defending a profligate government with untenable economic hocus pocus...
I will personally carry TINUBU on my head if he's able to cut the reckless spending of his government, make palpable sacrifices, ignite agricultural revolution, empower our brilliant and energetic youths with vocational grants instead of distributing cash to phantom politicians, etc... But with advisers like you, no government can succeed...
The outcome of the recent South African election results remains a shining example of what a transparent and efficient democratic electoral process should look like.
You are too irrelevant to decide the fate of Obi, not even Soyinka can do that. If not for corruption that has a stronghold on the nation who could have stopped Obi? You did not condemn the process that installs corruption, instead, daily, you attack the politician who stands out among others in terms of transparency and uprightness.
You are very stupid, you are very very stupid Bashir. You must think everyone is an idiot like you. You campaigned for tinubu because of appointment and you want to blame Peter obi for his failures? I repeat you are stupid.
Tinubu is playing fiddle while Nigeria is drowning in the ocean of insecurity. To imagine that the Commander-in-Chief is on a so-called private visit while kidnappers kill a nursing mother and grandmother in Abuja for failing to pay N90m ransom and two monarchs in Ekiti, among other regular tragedies besetting Nigerians. If the shoes are too big for Emilokan, he should step aside. Nigeria does not need another Tourist-in-Chief. The country needs 24/7 leadership to confront the pervasive insecurity and collapsing economy. -AA
