Wahala no de finish!!
“My general assessment is that government is totally unprepared to conduct the economic reform policies they put on line. The key measures they took - the fuel subsidy removal, floating of the Naira had very severe impact on the value of our currency and on the income of every Nigerians and the net effect is a dramatic decline in the income and survival of Nigerians that brought massive suffering. They did not plan palliatives to address the suffering of majority of Nigerians. At the end of the day, my sense is that this government has been a failure. What he has planned to deliver, he has failed. As the elections are approaching, I think it’s time we have to clearly show this government that failure cannot be rewarded”

"It is going to be a bazaar for criminals because the first thing — why is state police a big deal? It is not for the protection of you nor I. It is so that politicians will have tools in their hands in order to be able to do what they want to do, in uniform and armed." — @ChidiOdinkalu
If you say that the Governor should not be held accountable for the abductions of the school children because he doesn’t control the security forces,why would you give him credit when the security forces rescued the captives?
I will never forgive those behind the detention of Malam Nasiru El-Rufa’i. What this incompetent government is doing to him is not politics, it is a blatant violation and suppression of his fundamental rights as a citizen.
Free Malam Nasir El-Rufai now Tinubu
1/2
I have said this before and I will say it again, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai is a prisoner of choice, and a prisoner of conscience.
One or Two phone calls will get him out of this mess.
Just sell you out, and he is good to go!
Mallam is truly a better man than I am, because I don't think Nigerians deserves this sacrifice!
I've interviewed presidents, governors, generals, activists and politicians. But sometimes it's the interviews with the families left carrying the emotional burden that stay with you.
A few days ago, I interviewed the lawyer Asiya El-Rufai, wife of former Kaduna state governor, Nasir El-Rufai. She spoke with the precision of a legal expert and the pain of a spouse.
She didn't ask me to defend her husband. She didn't ask Nigerians to take sides. She spoke instead - quietly but powerfully - about constitutional rights, due process, access to lawyers and doctors, and the emotional toll prolonged detention takes on a family.
It reminded me that behind every politically charged courtroom battle is a human story.
Whatever anyone thinks of Nasir El-Rufai politically, one truth remains: the rule of law only has meaning when it protects people whose politics we may disagree with. That is why due process is not a favour. It is the foundation of democracy.
Power is temporary. The legal precedents we tolerate today may become the standards - and the nightmare - we all live under tomorrow.
Pride blinds you to the struggles of others. Empathy opens your eyes to them.
Pride asks, “Why can’t they do what I did?”
Empathy asks, “What burden are they carrying that I cannot see?”
The strongest people are not those who look down on others from the height of their success, but those who remember where they came from and choose compassion over arrogance.
Humility builds hearts. Pride builds walls.
Rabiu Kwankwaso, former Kano Governor and presidential candidate, has urged the Nigerian government to address concerns from opposition figures Peter Obi and Nasir El-Rufai with fairness, due process, and equal protection under the law.

Nasiru Elrufa’i dressed up, drove straight to the Arise Tv show, and confessed to being a criminal by wiretapping the phone call of the National Security Adviser.
Anybody who is saying he is being humiliated because the law is taking its course is actually a fool.

WHEN POLITICAL DIFFERENCES OVERSHADOW FAIRNESS
(A Call for Justice and Democratic Accountability).
It is truly heartbreaking to witness everything that our leader @elrufai is going through. Regardless of where anyone stands politically, difficult moments like these remind us that public figures are human beings who also face trials, criticism and personal challenges.
Politics should never rob us of our humanity, justice, due process and the rule of law. We can disagree on policies, decisions or ideologies while still showing empathy and respect for one another. In times of hardship, compassion should rise above political differences.
Nigeria deserves leadership that rises above personal or political rivalries and focuses on strengthening democratic institutions, protecting fundamental rights and promoting national unity.
I sincerely hope that Malam finds the strength, wisdom and resilience to navigate this difficult period and that whatever challenges he is facing to be resolved in the best possible way.
A responsible government should inspire confidence by ensuring that institutions remain impartial and that every citizen is treated equally before the law. Democracy is strongest when accountability is applied consistently not selectively and when justice is seen to be fair rather than politically motivated.
History will ultimately judge every government not only by the promises it made, but by how faithfully it upheld justice, fairness and the rule of law.
THESE TO SHALL PASS

President Tinubu’s actions suggest he is not confident in his political strength, nor does he fully trust the more than 30 governors aligned with him. That is why many believe he is unwilling to allow Mallam Nasir El-Rufai the political space he deserves.
One Mallam Nasir El-Rufai is worth more than 30 governors in terms of political influence and strategy.
When you’re big, you’re simply big.
