For me any presidential candidate must also be, if not THE leader of the political party but a frontline leader. If a person as loyal to the frontrunner as this fearless politician is, is complaining publicly of lack of due process in the party even before the elections, then the front runner must not be a silent voice. You must be seen, not just to be a good face for the party, but a proactive leader of the party who shows that he can lead the change that he promises for the whole country. Otherwise how do you convince Nigerians that you can lead a whole country if you cannot take charge of your own party and show that you can do things differently? How do Nigerians trust that you can change things in the much larger, infinitely more complex place that is Nigeria?

For those who dont know, in 2005 when Tony wanted to buy UBA, Femi gave Tony a 20million USD loan and also bought UBA shares.

When 2008 came and financial crisis happened, Tony took over Femi’s shares in UBA and @africa_finance to pay off his debts to UBA.

Femi chested his losses.

In 2023, Femi bought 6% of Tony’s baby @TranscorpGroup. Femi was the largest shareholder, Tony owned just 2% at the time.

15 days later Tony made Femi an offer for his shares at 5 times the Market Price, Femi sold it and reportedly made a cool N32.5 billion with a profit of about 27billion Naira in 15 days.

There is a reason Femi is still on the Forbes list even after losing almost all his wealth.

Chess not Checkers. ✌🏾

@CofEnugu Please remove Nest from this discussion. Nobody went after him. For God's sake he is owing a syndicated loan of over $1bn.
He refused to renegotiate or service these loans until Otedola took over the bank.

No be everything we go defend

[Olumide'O @OlumideOS]

@Jakedgoat899 @ms0nigghaz It is. Definitely!

[SeunOkin Channels tv @seunokin]

Enough is enough. The killings, abductions of innocent Nigerians, and the unleashing of terror on our people cannot continue. These senseless killings and heinous crimes must stop.

Terror does not ask for your tribe, faith, region, or political affiliation before it strikes. Our response must be stronger than our divisions.

Today on Politics Today, I called on all Nigerians to put aside political, ethnic, and religious differences and stand united against the common enemy threatening our collective future.

Criticise what must be criticised. Demand accountability where it is due. But above all, let us stand together.

@msmocrown True. But no sign of Yorùbáness. 😂

[The Mechanic guy @Bimbolafredrick]

@OmolewaAbraham When Late Wigwe ( head of access back) collected buildings and properties from Femi Otedola because of outstanding debt. Even though they were friends (in quotes)... No one was concerned. But now First bank wants to collect their collateral from Nestoil, some guys are crying

[Olumide'O @OlumideOS]

@Lifematician @Officially_Kriz That is a misconception on her part. The first bank is a corporate entity. Being a chairman of the board doesn't make his personal bank.

[Olumide'O @OlumideOS]

@Lifematician @Officially_Kriz It's First Bank!

[Tuchel @Officially_Kriz]

Your father is owing banks over $1.3b, including UBA, Access, and First Bank. This is not just about Otedola.

Tell him to pay his debt!!

It's even personal for 🇳🇬 investors because they didn't receive any dividend this year because of your father.

The Southwest will remain safe because the Yorubas do not play politics with security.

We don’t hail terrorists here.

[Olumide'O @OlumideOS]

@dondekojo What is it about Fubara here? Focus should be on collaboration to free the people in the forest and not political banter.

[bamidele omoluabi @omoeko1800]

To my Yoruba people the greatest gift you can give your children is a strong connection to their roots. Your language is your identity,teach them Yoruba oo ejor 🙏

[Olumide'O @OlumideOS]

@Three_Leg_Bird @ChuksEricE Terrible. He must have seen the patterns and these allegations against security forces called for great concern.

[ID-AMOS @Three_Leg_Bird]

@ChuksEricE Nigerians were warned ...

[Department of State @StateDept]

SECRETARY RUBIO: "On Nigeria, where many were very concerned about violence against Christians, we are now actively in counterterrorism cooperation with the Nigerian government and Nigerian security forces."

[AYOMIPO @ayomipomayokun]

@OpeBee @OlumideOS SW are not terrorists apologist.

We want to live in peace, joy and harmony regardless of what is happening in the country.

If you are apologist or sponsors SW will expose you.

[Bayo Bilisi (Back Up) @Bayo_Bilisi]

@atiku You had a chance to speak for Christians but you deleted the tweet. Can you face a panel of Christians and tell them you take back that action let's see if you will be able to return to Adamawa.

Christians won't feel safe with you as a president!

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

I have just read the communique released by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) under the leadership of His Grace Archbishop Daniel Okoh from the 2026 National Church Leaders Summit and I align with the concern and sympathies of the Church in Nigeria over the security of the lives of Nigerians.

The demand for a comprehensive review of the nation’s security architecture, enhanced intelligence gathering, stronger inter-agency cooperation, improved operational effectiveness and greater accountability in the fight against terrorism, banditry and violent crime, are all fully in line with my position on the failure of the Tinubu-led Federal Government.

It is encouraging for Nigerians to see Christians from various denominations and blocs unite in this spiritual wake-up call upon the political leadership to do better. From the Catholic Secretariat to the Christian Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (CPFN), the Organisation of African Instituted Churches to the TEKAN/ECWA and other Christian blocs in Nigeria, the declaration of a three-day period of national mourning should serve as moments of reflection for all political leaders, especially those in power with the responsibility to do better by Nigerians.

As insecurity ravages without concern for religious or ethnic differences which have been made more glaring by the 360 degrees failure of the incumbent government, I commend this noble effort to hold the ruling party accountable and encourage solidarity from all Nigerians in this regard. I enjoin other faith organisations especially of the Muslim block to lend their voices to this wake-up call.

On behalf of the political opposition whom Tinubu has ignored as well as the Nigerian people, I urge Tinubu to listen to this urgent call from CAN and diligently ponder his courses of action beyond rhetorics, at least for his remaining months in office. -AA

@Letter_to_Jack They ought to speak out and call out these perpetrators of heinous acts. The fact that they identify as Fulani is not a good look.
