Last night, there was a big fight in the Obidient WhatsApp group. Many of them started throwing disrespectful words at Peter Obi for going off script and acknowledging that ���the person we voted in this country is Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
They said Obi talks too much and that the statement endorses Tinubu’s presidency.
@AishaYesufu Aisha Yesufu, your persistent disregard for Presidential protocol has diminished your credibility and makes it increasingly difficult to regard either your views or your person as a serious contributor to constructive political discourse.
@U_Rochas The "Visa Ban" Diplomatic PenaltyInstead of trying to extradite or prosecute Atiku, the U.S. government utilized diplomatic sanctions. The State Department placed Atiku on an immigration watch list, effectively banning him from entering the United States for over a decade.
In 2010, a comprehensive U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations report focused on foreign corruption. The report revealed that between 2000 and 2008, Atiku’s wife, Jennifer Douglas, helped funnel over $40 million in suspect funds into the United States via offshore corporations.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar managed to navigate the fallout from the multi-million dollar Halliburton bribery scandal and the closely related William Jefferson corruption case primarily because he was never formally indicted, arrested, or convicted by U.S. or Nigerian courts.
Nigeria we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood, we stand,
Nigerians all, and proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.
Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign,
In peace or battle honour'd,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.
O God of all creation,
Grant this our one request,
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed,
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.

On the El-Rufai issue, let's be fair. No matter how close you are to the man holding the gun, you still approach him with caution.
So, first ask him whether he regrets his comments about the live broadcast and alleged phone tapping, or if he still stands by them. Then, perhaps we can all join hands and appeal to the man holding the gun. Prudence is not cowardice—it's common sense.
I'd love to see a Peter Obi vs. Omoyele Sowore showdown. Let's see who comes out on top.
One thing they both claim is that they're committed democrats, yet neither seems particularly enthusiastic about competitive party primaries. Sowore leads his own party, where few, if any, challenge his leadership, while Obi is often perceived by his supporters as someone who should simply be handed the presidential ticket.
@sowore You're a great guy, but your use of language is un-presidential. You make same complaints and impact without uncouth words. Tone it down, the agbero style is not working
I am proudly and unapologetically a Jagaban loyalist. At the end of the day, let’s be clear: leave am — allow the old man...Jagaban to lead. We are not talking about hoe and machete farm work. Leadership demands wisdom, experience, resilience, and strength — qualities he still possess in abundance.
@sowore@OfficialDSSNG My Granny told me from a little baby, he that keepeth his mouth shall stay out of trouble. You cannot call the occupant of the office you're also eyeing a criminal...just like that. Not nice.
A billionaire businessman in Bayelsa publicly promised to send the brightest Bayelsa youths to the United States for pilot and aircraft engineering training.
776 people applied.
Only 2 passed the exam.
According to one of the winners, instead of being sent abroad as promised, they spent 16 months working for him, doing everything from aviation tasks to running errands.
The matter is now before the courts.
@ruffydfire It is a dangerous precedent when those seeking the highest office in the land use the shield of 'activism' to casually accuse an incumbent of criminality. The system cannot afford to let such reckless rhetoric go unchecked
