I remember him saying too, 'never forget the Conservatives partying during COVID when you couldn't see your loved ones'

Starmer made little or no promises. He was never clear about how he would achieve the few things he promised. People just wanted a change from the Conservatives - and now you have a man that was the darling of the UK voters going from a 170 seats majority to becoming the most unpopular PM in recent history.

@iybility @DrJoeAbah A new leader will be elected by the party - who will then go on to be the Prime Minister. There is someone named Andy Burnham who they are already thinking of.

Andy Burnham may then call a general election later to govern with a fresh mandate.

[Dotun @DotunOne]

@Oluomoofderby @bxns_hyfr @iSlimfit Burnham can't govern using Starmer's mandate. He should call a general election!

[Dotun @DotunOne]

Keir Starmer won a 172-seat landslide in July 2024. Within months his approval rating tanked - making him the most unpopular Prime Minister since records began in 1977. Today, he resigned.

During the last general election that brought him into office - Starmer made little or no promises. Most people didn't care - they just wanted a change from the Tory government. When he broke the one voters noticed - "we will not raise National Insurance" - the collapse was irreversible.

Vagueness wins elections. It destroys governments and the citizens are always on the receiving end.

Starmer went from landslide to resignation in two years. That is what happens when you ask for power without being honest about how you'll use it.

2027 is coming. Nigerian voters are watching. The receipts always come due. Be wary of the,
"No, no, no. It is not for you to know how" politicians.

@anthonyabakporo Lol...and you think you have uttered something amazing.

Yes, Lagos voted for Peter Obi. It is called democracy and you are FREE to vote for whomever you want to. That's probably beyond your level of intelligence to understand.

[Dotun @DotunOne]

@anthonyabakporo Anthony, the joke is on you mate. 😂 Obi has fooled you and probably brainwashed you - you're just in denial.

[Dotun @DotunOne]

Exactly my thoughts

Obi is not different from other politicians even if he has never looted the treasury.

1. Undeclared offshore companies - Set up Gabriella Investments Ltd in the British Virgin Islands via nominee directors (paid figureheads to hide his identity) while serving as governor. Never declared it to the Code of Conduct Bureau as required by law.

2. Operating foreign accounts as a sitting governor - explicitly prohibited by the Nigerian constitution for serving public officers. He did it anyway.

3. Continued running Next International UK Ltd - Managed the company for 14 months after being sworn in as governor, directly violating code of conduct rules on private business ownership during public service.

His go-to defence across all three:
"I was not aware." "I didn't know the law required me to declare jointly owned assets."

This is a man who:

Ran a sophisticated multi-jurisdiction offshore structure involving Monaco, the British Virgin Islands, and Belize

Used nominee directors - a very deliberate legal technique specifically designed to obscure beneficial ownership

Structured assets through trust vehicles across multiple tax havens

...and then pleaded ignorance of basic constitutional requirements he swore an oath to uphold.

You don't accidentally end up in the British Virgin Islands with nominee directors. That requires lawyers, accountants, and deliberate instructions. Ignorance wasn't the issue - exposure was.

He didn't steal from the treasury in the way Nigerians are used to seeing. But gaming the system with elite legal architecture while preaching accountability to the masses is its own kind of hypocrisy.

[Àlúbàríkà 🇳🇬 @Iyoaiye_]

President Bola Tinubu is my presidential candidate.

Yes, I will vote for President Tinubu in the 2027 presidential elections.

In 2023, I voted for Peter Obi despite being a PDP stalwart. I chose Obi based on my convictions back then. However, tastes and human choices are dynamic.

Having seen what President Tinubu was able to achieve, changing him would destabilize the modest progress made so far.

Here are a few reasons I'm sticking with Tinubu:
1. Improved revenue to the three federating units. Nigeria was insolvent and literally bankrupt before the Tinubu regime. The CBN was using the Ways and Means Window (printing of money without value created) to run the economy to the tune of N33 trillion. This skyrocketed the inflation rate to over 30 percent as of 2023. Our nominal GDP was about N230 billion, while we had multiple exchange rates, which were distorting planning, forecast, and investment decisions. These macroeconomic distortions have been stabilized and greatly improved.
2. Removal of petrol subsidy. Petrol subsidy has been identified by all previous governments as problematic, but none had the political power to remove it. Petrol subsidy became inefficient, and the government was no longer able to pay for such inefficiency. Nigeria was using over 90% of her revenue annually to service debts, implying that we had to borrow to fund the subsidy. Its removal was absolutely necessary.
3. Improved welfare of federal civil servants.
4. Improved road infrastructure across the federation.
5. Implementation of the ASUU-FG Agreement of 2009. Since 2009, no president had the political will to honor an agreement signed, but Tinubu did.
6. Supreme Court LGA Autonomy. The LG financial autonomy judgment was meant to restore life and progress to our rural communities. Unfortunately, many state governors, in connivance with the State Houses of Assembly, brought in some obnoxious state laws that would deceptively allow states to continue managing LGA funds.

The two areas I think the president needs to improve on are the security of lives and property and to discontinue borrowing even after the removal of the petrol subsidy. Endemic corruption in Nigeria has not been ruthlessly addressed as well.

Away from the noise and emotions, our state governors have failed the people.

Subsidy removal came with a trade-off between improved revenues to federal, states, and LGAs and weakened purchasing powers of households and economic discomfort. However, these funds handed over to the governors have not been reinvested admirably to solve state and local challenges. Our roads are still bad; our schools are still dilapidated; our hospitals are still dysfunctional; our communities are still unsecured; unemployment is still ravaging, and the welfare of state workers remains miserable.

To a larger extent, the federal government has reinvested part of its own share of the subsidy windfall in workers' welfare packages. I have evidence.

For instance, my wife, who is a Level 13 federal civil servant, earns more than I do, a professor at the university. Secondly, a professor in a federal university now earns between N1.2-N1.4 million naira monthly. (Don't even bother asking me how much I earn, because you will be shocked).

These improved welfare packages, improved road networks, healthcare facilities, and educational facilities are meant to atone for the rises in petrol prices, housing, and transportation costs, etc. The federal government has obviously reinvested its share better than most states across the federation.

It is, therefore, my conviction to vote and campaign for President Tinubu in the 2027 Presidential elections, if God keeps us safe, sound, and alive, amen 🙏.

You are entitled to choose your own god whom you will serve. It doesn't call for a quarrel or abuses. This is the beauty of "democracy."

Oku gbawa!
