We’re not running away from the Democratic Party. We’re going back to what the party used to be.
You think about FDR and LaGuardia. You think about the New Deal. That’s what the Democratic Party once was. That’s what it could be again.
And if we want to win, I think that’s what we have to become.
🗣️ In 1991, judges sued to clear their names over car-gift allegations. Today, a Chief Justice openly accepted a Mercedes-Benz from a governor with cases before the courts.
Human rights lawyer Chidi Odinkalu argues that the growing relationship between powerful politicians and senior judicial officers is eroding the perception of judicial independence in Nigeria.
Can justice truly be seen as impartial when judges receive benefits from political actors? 👇

If true, this is a deeply insensitive statement.
But to answer the question of what I would have done differently, I can just look at the UK’s Andy Burnham who is trying to tackle the cost of living.
In just 19 days, he has:
- removed the 5% VAT on domestic electricity (it is 7.5% in Nigeria)
- capped bus fares at £2 per ride by reimbursing private sector operators of the difference in real costs
- pledged a 20% cut in business rates for pubs and clubs (an important part of British social life)
- maintained and adjusted Universal Credit to favour the poorest and most vulnerable.
So, I would have used the increasing tax revenue to tackle the cost of living. That is what I would have done differently at my own level. Hope that helps.
