"NO ONE IS MORE QUALIFIED THAN ME TO BE PRESIDENT" — DICKSON FIRES BACK
Former Bayelsa Governor and NDC Founder, Seriake Dickson, has insisted that neither he nor the Nigeria Democratic Congress is doing anyone a favour by offering a platform.
"You cannot claim to support Peter Obi while disparaging me, the leadership, or the party. If forming a party is easy, anyone is free to start one. Respect for the platform and its leadership is non-negotiable."
Dickson added that while some names dominate public conversations, there is "no one more qualified" than him to run for President of Nigeria.
Peter Obi Lied: Nigeria’s Debt Have Reduced Under President Tinubu. He Is Converting Dollar Loans To Naira To Manipulate The Public
Peter Obi is displaying dishonesty today by misinforming the Nigerian public about our nation’s total debt! He knows for a fact that Nigeria’s debt has reduced under President Bola Tinubu. Nevertheless, he released a statement today, lying to Nigerians that our total debt has increased because of the financial profligacy of the Tinubu administration.
Peter Obi is manipulatively quoting our national debt in Naira, even though these loans were taken in foreign currencies, especially the US Dollar.
If, for example, Peter Obi’s bank, F******* Bank, lent me $1,000 in 2023, which was equivalent to under ₩500,000, I do not owe you more money in 2026, even though the $1,000 is now worth N1,350,000. And you know that, Peter. You are just deceiving the public.
I urge Nigerian citizens to Google, Grok, or ChatGPT the following query: Has Nigeria’s debt increased under Tinubu in dollar terms?
Yes, the US Dollar is not our legal tender. However, these loans were taken in Dollars and Euros.
Peter Obi knows that the Naira was floated. Because of that, the Naira’s value under President Buhari is different from the Naira’s value today under His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria.
So, to deceive his gullible followers, he keeps citing our debt in Naira, giving the impression that President Tinubu has increased it.
For the avoidance of doubt, Nigeria’s total debt when President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in on May 29, 2023, was $108.29 billion, as published by the Debt Management Office on Friday, March 31, 2023.
However, by June 30, 2023, when the Debt Management Office published the updated debt figures for the Buhari administration, our total debt stood at $113 billion.
The truth is that, yes, President Buhari left a total debt of N87.38 trillion behind when he handed over to President Bola Tinubu, but that N87.38 trillion was equivalent to $113 billion, which is less than our total debt today.
MOP THEM ALL

Ignorance is not an excuse under the law.
For those who deliberately share fake, manipulated, or inflammatory content capable of causing public disorder or destabilising the polity, deleting a post and apologising after the fact may not be enough where the law has been breached. Know this.
Freedom of expression is not freedom to deceive, incite, or endanger society.
Before you share, verify. Then verify again.
Do not become an unwitting tool in the hands of merchants of falsehood, mischief, and chaos. Every click, repost, and forward carries responsibility.
Nigeria is bigger than the agendas of those who seek to divide, destabilise, or profit from confusion.

@BolajiADC Leadership is quiet work. Noise is easy. Mr President chooses work.
I will be the first to acknowledge that "Reform is hard". Subsidies didn't disappear painlessly. But ₦242bn in student loans, preventing the theft of our treasury by a small group of people in the name of subsidy scam, hundreds of kilometres of new highways open, 1.5trillion Bank of Agriculture recapitalisation, 1.3million NELFUND beneficiaries, and 8 straight months of falling inflation are real. If you can't see it, then surely Jigibola is for you.
We all know some people need glasses but some people need jigibola. Opposition needs the two of them. 👓👓
I repeat: Jigibola is for the willfully blind not the genuinely struggling.
Goodluck with the Ibadan meeting of your association.

On Thursday, April 5, 2018, Offa, Kwara State was thrown into chaos when a group of at least 25 armed robbers staged an attack on some commercial banks along Owode Market area including the police station in the area.
The robbers attacked seven banks
The recent news from Maiduguri, Borno State, is profoundly upsetting. I mourn those who lost their lives, sympathise with the injured and stand in solidarity with the people of Borno during this challenging time.
I want to make it categorically clear that these acts of terror are the final desperate and frantic attempts by criminals and terrorist elements trying to instil and spread fear, as they are under constant pressure from our brave armed forces and security agencies operating in various theatres.
We will continue to intensify our efforts against all criminal elements, wherever they may be.
I must commend the courage and fighting spirit of our patriotic troops who successfully repelled the coordinated attacks by these terrorists on military positions in the state.
The Monday attacks were desperate acts of the evil-minded terrorist groups. Our gallant military and civilian task forces will curtail and put them down.
Just last weekend, during a security meeting with leaders of security and intelligence agencies, I approved additional equipment and operational support to enhance their capabilities. This effort is already in progress.
Additionally, I have directed security chiefs to move to Maiduguri to take charge of the situation. I have also directed the emergency agencies to provide proper care for the injured.
There is no place in Nigeria where terrorists will find safety. We will locate them, confront them, and completely defeat them.
Nigeria will not succumb to fear.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu,
President & Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria
VDM and King, it is imperative that you issue an apology to Nigerian families, including fathers, mothers, and the youth, on social media. You must also extend this apology to all your followers. Your actions are deemed unacceptable, as they involve teaching our children harmful
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered the immediate release of funds for the maintenance of Nigeria’s space assets in line with the National Space Policy and Programme.
