🔥A reminder, before the @IMFNews N8.8 Trillion there was the @WorldBankGroup N34.53 Trillion “hidden spending system” diversion of Nigeria’s revenue according to the WB report
This week, I have observed with deep concern two notable media appearances: one by my brother, Mr. Peter Obi, and the other by the family of Malam Nasir El-Rufai.
In his interview with Mr. Chude Jideonwo, Mr. Obi voiced serious worries about his personal safety and the adverse impact his role as an opposition leader has had on his businesses. Even more troubling was the Federal Government’s response, which resorted to personal insults and derogatory language instead of the restraint and maturity expected of a democratic administration.
Let me state clearly: like every Nigerian, our presidential candidate and all of us deserve the full protection of the state, not ridicule for raising legitimate concerns.
Democratic leadership requires fairness, justice, and restraint.
A government entrusted with protecting citizens should not dismiss or mock credible calls for help from any individual, including Mr. Peter Obi.
On the other hand, it was distressing to watch the wives of Malam Nasir El-Rufai publicly express the family’s anguish over his prolonged detention.
Regardless of political affiliation, Malam El-Rufai, like every Nigerian, is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty by a competent court. The continued delay in granting him bail through what many perceive as stringent and unreasonable conditions is deeply concerning. As an unconvicted citizen, he deserves a fair and expeditious trial, while his health and that of his family are adequately safeguarded.
I therefore join well-meaning Nigerians in urging the Federal Government to handle these matters with transparency, accountability, and justice. These issues must not be weaponised to settle political scores.
For our democracy to truly thrive, every citizen; young or old, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political persuasion must receive equal and equitable treatment under the law from the government that exists to protect us all. - RMK
Dear @mehdirhasan
This lying double-mouthed dishonest aide called Daniel Bwala that you publicly exposed his hypocrisy to the world a few months ago, now claims Al Jazeera “apologised” to him over your interview with him.
Please is this claim true?
And if true, what exactly did Al Jazeera apologise to him for?
Dear Nigerians,
Pls retweet until @mehdirhasan sees this and publicly responds to clear the air.

T-Pain, G Fresh and all their disciples are the most treacherous and dangerous politicians anywhere in the world, just read the comment section of that post
According to @allibaloo 👇
“@elrufai is currently facing the consequences of an UNBRIDLED TONGUE” simply because he is an opposition leader
But when the same NER went against a ( sitting ) President Buhari and his mentor in support of T-Pain he never had an unbridled tongue
If these folks were PMB when he said all those stuffs against him they would’ve chained him and thrown the keys into the Atlantic Ocean but see how the lunatics are hounding Mallam today
I have said my own, in his next life when NER hear a name that starts with T & U he will run
Here was NER in February 2023 echoing the talking point of T-Pain who was earlier seen at the @OfficialAPCNg rally in Ogun State lamenting how “they” want to use currency redesign to prevent him from winning the polls
But hey, no distraction.
Nigerians are fully focused on #GbajaGate the most gargantuan, insane, weird, record breaking corruption in the history of mankind

Temitope,
Please how many wives do you have and what experience are you basing your conclusions on, your father and his 3 wives?
Lunatics everywhere you look, here is another one
It’s the ordeal of @elrufai in the hands of Ali Baba that is exciting you lunatics like this right
After every night there will be day break, this is a marathon and not a sprint

Mallam El-Rufai Was Granted Bail With Terms That Are Not Viable - El-Rufai
A bail term with 2 sureties, N200 million each, and properties worth N200 million in GRA Kaduna, with attestation from the traditional council of Kaduna State. Efforts to get these became impossible.
Asiya El-Rufai, El-Rufai’s Wife
Nasir el-Rufai's saga is assuming a character far bigger than the determined insistence by the State that he must remain locked up, without being tried and/or sentenced. It is making a mockery of the rule of law and all standards of decency. El-Rufai is now a political prisoner.
BREAKING: The lawless DSS has just arrested Zainab Sodiq, the journalist who covers my daily activities, and detained her at its headquarters in Abuja.
Her only “crime” is doing her job as a journalist. The @officialABAT regime is running scared they are very desperate but it will not end well for lawless DSS DG, Tosin Ajayi at all!
They want to SUMMON the PRESIDENT and SHUT DOWN the house over nonpayment of UNCONSTITUTIONAL constituency allowance. Lol. Not because of insecurity or the several cases of fraud and corruption entrenched in the government.
This tells you that they know exactly what they are doing. They don’t need you to tell them what to do to get fix things. On matters that concerns them, they are quick to exercise their FULL constitutional authority. But on matters that concern the people, they act helpless and begin shifting blame.
The enemies of Nigeria and Nigerians are the people we elected to represent us and the cronies around them.

@simonkolawole
You guys are lunatics
Except I never heard the woman very well
She said they are not asking T-Pain to free their husband but that the regime should follow the rule of law to prevail and he should respect the constitutionally guaranteed rights of any Nigerian accused of any crime in the case her husband
She made the direct appeal because she knows who is behind the captivity and ordeal of her husband
Stop promoting regime agenda that makes it look like she is admitting any guilt by her husband and begging for her husband to be released

🚨🚨| BREAKING: Senator Celeste Sinezor publishes an open letter addressed to Kylian Mbappé:
“The problem is between you and me. I have never said anything against France. On the contrary, I stand with France. I studied at a French school from the age of 2 until I was 17, where I completed my education. I am who I am thanks to the Collège de l’Immaculée Conception and the education it gave me. We sang La Marseillaise and honored the French flag alongside our own. I speak French and I love visiting France. Last Christmas, I spent the holidays with my family in Courchevel, and we welcomed the New Year in Saint Tropez. This has nothing to do with France. The problem is with you.
Your arrogance and contempt angered me long before the match, when you said, “If we have to put our hands in the dirt, then let’s do it.” We are not stupid. We understood perfectly that by “the dirt,” you meant the Paraguayan team, and the Paraguayan team represents all of us. Then you said you were going to remove our makeup. We understood that too. All of Paraguay remained silent, myself included. We endured it.
During the match, your arrogance was obvious. Your contempt for every Paraguayan player was clear, as if they were beneath you. Without even covering your mouth, you shouted, “La concha de tu madre,” an extremely offensive insult in Latin America, and you know it.
Finally, you showed complete disregard for the health of our goalkeeper. That is something you simply do not do. Respect between rivals after a match is almost sacred, in war and in peace, in defeat and in victory. Yet you refused to shake his hand and shouted your victory in his face. In a single moment, you displayed contempt, arrogance, and poor manners. It hurt me, it hurt my entire country, and it hurt deeply. France should hold you accountable because it is a nation of honor, with centuries of history and savoir faire.
My posts were written in the heat of the moment, with my blood boiling, the blood of a mixed heritage, a beautiful blend of Indigenous and Spanish ancestry that runs through my veins. I wrote them while watching you mock those extraordinary Paraguayan players who fought as equals until the final whistle. However, I immediately regretted responding to you with the same insults that I myself receive. I realized I was repeating the very behavior I despise, so I deleted the post. I understand that my words offended you because humiliation hurts.
Now I demand that you also retract your statements and apologize to me. I will not tolerate your violence either. You do not know me. You have no idea who I am, and you have no right to say that I AM A DESPICABLE WOMAN, UNWORTHY OF THE OFFICE I HOLD.
I am a Senator of the Paraguayan Nation, elected by the people. Before that, I was a National Deputy, also elected by the people. Thousands of Paraguayan men and women voted for me and consider me their voice. My foremost duty is to speak for the Paraguayan people, to say what they cannot say, and to defend my country with my life if necessary.
I represent my country because I was freely elected. I was chosen in democratic elections to help make its laws and to be its voice. You have no idea what it means to be elected to defend your nation and represent its people.
Who are you to call me unworthy or despicable when you do not even know me? This is blatant gender based violence. This is political violence against a woman who earned her position through the democratic vote of her people. You insult me because I am a woman. You attack my dignity as a woman and as a political representative.
Retract your statements, honor your French citizenship, and apologize. Otherwise, I may pursue legal action for gender based violence.”
Greetings, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT.
This is a kind reminder that you are yet to act on our demands.
Your Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, who is being accused of massive corruption, is still holding sway in that position.
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
The moment the tents of displaced people were bombed in the southern Gaza Strip, in the Mawasi area of Khan Yunis, killing more than 500 civilians.
A video that the world must never forget.
Whether it is or isn’t a red to Balogun is now irrelevant. Government interference is a violation of FIFA Article 2 & 15, and the punishment is disqualification and suspension. #FIFAWorldCup
Activists built a water station providing clean drinking water to Palestinians.
He posts about it's launch on X.
One hour later Israel bombs it, killing the workers.
The man they are calling a scammer and accusing of creating a fake agency has been seen all over with them.
The APC clearly has no regard for the intelligence of Nigerians.
