“If I win, I’ll bring back fuel subsidy and I’ll remove the corruption. From day one I talked about subsidy, I talked about the corruption, the corruption is the problem is the subsidy so If I win, I’ll bring back fuel subsidy and I’ll remove the corruption”
Peter Obi in a new interview
Peter obi (NDC president candidate): I'll remove fuel subsidy.
Kwankwaso (NDC vice president candidate): vice versa.
Coming from people who want to steer the affairs of over 250m Nigerians and we're just a few months away from the election.
Some fools go still defend them sha
@dammiedammie35 Funny man.... From I'll remove subsidy from day one, to I'll study it before removing it gradually and now I'll bring back subsidy after removing the corruption....this man has no ball...he wants to please everybody
AZIKIWE Planned to take WESTERN REGION only to be united against by all YORUBAS on election day and he shamefully ran away from Western region.
OJUKWU planned to take LAGOS using VICTOR BANJO (a classical example of a Yoruba Obidients who woke up late and OJUKWU killed him for not allowing him to be used to take LAGOS.
FAST FORWARD TO 2023, THE SAME ZIK'S & OJUKWU IDEOLOGY CAME TO LIFE more than 5 decades later
✅ They planned to LAGOS in 2023 !
✅ 2026 is here , they are planning to use GRV CHINEDU GBADEBO RHODES-VIVOUR their SON to take LAGOS in 2027.
SAME IDEOLOGY! UNITED IN IDEOLOGY!
This is for you sir Dickson!!!
Fuck you and your good governance. We will not handover the political power of our land to someone who is not loyal to us. You can take him to your region to give you thay good governance, you need it more!!!
Dear Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour,
we all knew who you were and you've said it many times yourself but after 2023, you still decided to disrespect us few days ago.
If you don't understand Yorùbá, please get a translator. No let this thing repeat itself. Dakun 🙏
