Osun: When the People Stand, Democracy Wins
I warmly congratulate Governor Ademola Adeleke on his re-election and the good people of Osun State on this important democratic victory. They - Osun people - have spoken with courage and clarity, reaffirming that the power to choose their leaders belongs to the people. Through his commitment to the people, compassion for their needs, and the strength of his work and achievements in office, Governor @AAdeleke_01 has earned their renewed confidence and been entrusted once again with their mandate.
I particularly commend the courageous youths of Osun who rose to the occasion and peacefully defended their democratic mandate. Their vigilance and determination demonstrate that when citizens stand firmly to protect their votes, the forces of good can overcome the forces of darkness.
The lesson from Osun is clear: democracy is strongest when citizens are alert, conscious of their civic responsibility, and determined to ensure that their votes count. Every genuine vote must be respected, and every lawful mandate must be protected.
This is also a clarion call as we approach 2027. Nigerians must remain informed, participate actively, vote, and protect their votes. The Nigerian people are the ones experiencing hunger, deprivation, insecurity, and hardship; therefore, they are also the ones with the power, through their votes, to bring about the change that will end these conditions.
I urge all political actors to place the interests of the people above partisan considerations and to embrace peace, unity, and the rule of law. Elections should never be battles of violence, but contests of ideas, competence, character, and service.
May the Osun experience strengthen our confidence in the democratic process and inspire Nigerians everywhere to remain vigilant and committed to building a just, secure, prosperous, and truly people-centred nation.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Adeleke said it was a free and fair election
Davido was tagging Donald Trump and Julius Cesar minutes ago
28 people died.
This man is thanking Tinubu and calling him father of democracy ?
WHAT THE ACTUAL FVCK!!!!
You father got shot when he went to vote APC, isn't that presidential?
You will be next and that will be more presidential.
Are you not entertained? 😂😂😂😂
H.E Peter Obi.
No public office blemish, no corrupt cases, no shady pasts - walks the talk & has proven that there's an upright way to do politics.
You're the man we say you are & thrice the man you think you are.
In my lifetime, you will be president and THAT IS NEXT YEAR.
NA STATISTICS WE GO CHOP?
Calvary greetings my dear brother Olusegun,
I am surprised that after the statement from Tchief Tinubu on 25 November 2022 during his presidential campaign rally in Delta State, cackling “na statistics we go chop” our very handsome president has now promoted himself from hating statistics to manufacturing them.
What he cannot forge does not exist
Since the numbers refused to favour his administration, he has now hired a graphics designer (possibly from the same shop that printed his certificate), and has gone ahead to stamp “FULFILLED” to deceive himself. At least in this government, if reality no gree, Canva go cooperate.
Everyone in APC now “celebrate” statistics but nobody in that party seems to be able to differentiate between a law, a conference, and an actual implementation or accomplishment.
So as usual, LET ME EDUCATE YOU.
1. When did you fulfill the FX reform?
Is there not still persistent volatility?
Has the reform produced a credible foreign exchange market? The naira lost a large share of its value. Businesses struggled to access foreign exchange.
Under this govt, naira has experienced an over 200% depreciation.
$460 when you came, $1600 today.
2. Your administration listing Fiscal discipline and deficit mgt as fulfilled is laughable. Under Tinubu our debt japad from ₦87.4 trn to ₦159.28trn in 18 months, borrowing 4x faster than Buhari, who was already Nigeria's biggest borrower ever. Tinubu is the largest and fastest borrower amongst our last 3 presidents combined. 16 years from Yaradua to Buhari was ₦84trn, just 3 years of Tinubu is ₦72trn as at December.
Also what is our Debt to GDP value? Debt servicing is consuming the largest chunk of government revenue, Interest payments remain high and Fiscal pressure has increased.
We don’t even have a budget, Tinubu has not published a budget report since 2024 but here he is with Oluwole graphics claiming fulfilled.
3. The only foreign investment Tinubu has fulfilled is taking himself to foreign countries. Tinubu has spent over 344 days out of the country since he became President.
Not a single investment announcements under Tinubu has translated into job creation or measurable productivity growth. Just pieces of papers and media propaganda.
4. What is CREDICORP? How many customers right now can access the credit?
Where can I walk in today and easily obtain affordable consumer credit? You people are jokers.
5. Tax Reforms Act, please don’t get me started…
Is this the same Tax Reform Act that sparked outrage over allegations that the gazetted version was different from what lawmakers approved? The same tax reform that was confirmed to the whole nation that was forged. Is that what APC just celebrated as an achievement 😂…Ehhhh nitori olorun
6. What is the achievement in crude oil production? Why hasn’t it translated into lower fuel costs? How much was fuel when Tinubu came to power and how much is it today?
Mr. Subsidy is gone 😭
7. Has electricity become reliable? What has the Tinubu’s govt done with Electricity in Nigeria? From Band A to bandits because we are all operating in the dark.
The existence of legislation is different from improved electricity supply.
Nigeria's national grid has collapsed at least 20 times under Tinubu
What is his achievement in electricity?
Don’t forget he said: If I don’t give you CONSTANT electricity for 4 years don’t vote for me. Where is the electricity @officialABAT
8. None of the PIA has been fully implemented. Another immeasurable fallacy.
9. Fuel Subsidy 😭
Tinubuuuuuuu @officialABAT how did you even include this as an achievement? Where is the money Nigeria saved from subsidy? Why are we still borrowing?
This was an economical lifelong injury.
Inflation increased, transportation increased, food costs increased
You failed, this is the biggest implementation failure.
F9 in economics, C in graphics designing😭.
I’m sleepy and out of twitter characters, just wait let me wake up💁🏼♀️
This guy is supporting a global fraudster and drug cartel leader.
The most corrupt politician in Nigeria history. But just read his take.
What gives these guys the imprimatur to have an opinion is my concern.
How do you realize a Record Breaking IGR
Then go ahead on a Record Breaking borrowing spree
Only to deliver a Record Breaking "nothing to show"?
FAILURE! FAILURE!! FAILURE!!!
