Governor Adeleke should have waited a week before re-endorsing President Tinubu. That way, Peter Obi and his Obidients would have claimed the Adeleke victory as their own. You must wonder why they didn’t field any candidate in yet another major election.

The general elections are six months away. A herd that does not field candidates in off-cycle governorship elections somehow expects to win a national one on the back of that same unseriousness.

Of all the possible scenarios of 2027, be glad as a Nigerian citizen that none of them will end with this lot as our country’s governing group.

@firstladyship Good on paper.
But will you be willing to leave the comfort of America to come and stand shoulder to shoulder with the long-suffering Nigerians you so love during the election? It will be great to have someone like you lead the charge.

@TheoAbuAgada Theo can't be tweeting this. Looks like his account has been compromised. @mrlurvy, your good friend needs help right now.

[OBAZE KADIRI @itsevhekhe]

@beingElrufai @Jaaniini I don't think you are a faithful party man anyway. When Osibanjo failed to clinch the ticket & Tinubu did, weren't you supposed to support him to win the general election? No,
you switched loyalty to Atiku because he's Arewa. Gov Adeleke has the right to support PBAT in 2027.

@AishaYesufu @AishaYesufu, stop lying to yourself please. You don't sound convincing anymore. You were better as an activist & a social crusader. Politics has clearly damaged you. I still have a screenshot of your interview with the Punch newspaper years ago.
Go back to your true essence, Sis

@TheoAbuAgada Brother Theo, don't you think you should take a mental health day?
E don reach. Na wetin you dey tweet like this?
😀

[OBAZE KADIRI @itsevhekhe]

@TheoAbuAgada Oga Theo, be serious for once, I beg of you. NDC defeat APC in 2027?
One thing I like about you is that you don't smoke what they smoke at Kalakuta Republic. 😀

[OBAZE KADIRI @itsevhekhe]

@HighChiefOkoro "Know your worth!" That seems to be the message from Osun electorate to "Baba half salary." Hopefully, he's able to read the writing on the wall and tell that clown- Melaye and the serial presidential election looser what Osun voters have just said to him.

@OgbeniDipo Well, silence is sometimes the best answer, Sir.

[OBAZE KADIRI @itsevhekhe]

@mrlurvy Welcome home bro.
Kindly take it easy on Theo, it's not bn the best week for him, NDC & the ADC. What with Gov Adeleke hitting them below the belt by endorsing PBAT for 2027 election shortly after his victory. I've asked him to take a break from x & go examine his mental health.

[OBAZE KADIRI @itsevhekhe]

@TheoAbuAgada Theo, take a break from tweeter and go check your mental health please.

"Tinubu is bad, Tinubu is bad" but your alternative is a political prostitute? Little party problem, he don run. It's 5 months to election and he doesn't have a proper structure on ground... No serious representation at Ward level yet. That's who you want to lead a country of more than 250 million people. If not that the brain has no pain receptors, I would have said that your brain is paining you.

@egi_nupe Unwanted answer no doubt but peace and joy, they say, begin with acceptance, Mr. Ifeanyichukwu.

Dear Nigerians,

For many years, Nigeria has possessed some of the most promising deep offshore oil and gas resources in the world, yet several major developments have remained stalled. Oil lies beneath our waters. We have the engineers, businesses and young people capable of doing increasingly sophisticated work in the sector. What has often been missing is the certainty required for investors to commit billions of dollars, over many years, at the scale needed to turn that potential into production, jobs and opportunity for Nigerians.

We cannot afford to leave that opportunity beneath our waters for another decade.

I have therefore signed the Deep Offshore Oil and Gas Projects Incentives (Tax Remission) Order, 2026, to provide clear and predictable terms for a new generation of deep offshore investment in Nigeria.

The framework has the potential to unlock up to $50 billion in investment, beginning with the approximately $10 billion Bonga South West project. For existing deep offshore leases, there is a clear window to reach Final Investment Decision by 31 December 2029 and receive the full standard incentive available under the Order.

There is urgency to this work. Capital moves, and countries compete for it every day. The countries that attract long-term investment are not necessarily those with the greatest natural resources. They are the ones that provide the greatest certainty.

Nigeria must be one of those countries.

This Order marks the tenth major policy directive of my administration targeted specifically at the oil and gas sector. Each has dealt with a constraint holding back investment, production or value creation. Taken together, they represent a deliberate effort to make our oil and gas industry more competitive, attract capital back to Nigeria and ensure that more of the value created from our resources remains here at home.

But attracting investment is only half of my purpose.

I want the work that comes with these projects to come home to Nigeria. I want our engineers involved, our fabrication yards working, our marine and technical service companies securing contracts, and our young people acquiring skills that will remain valuable long after the first barrel is produced.

The Order reflects this priority. For projects accessing its supplementary incentives, activities are to be performed in Nigeria, subject to clearly defined exceptions and Nigerian Content requirements.

My ambition is that we use this new investment cycle to build Nigeria into Africa’s regional hub for deep offshore project execution. We should not only possess the resources. We should increasingly possess the skills, businesses and industrial capacity required to develop them.

When I engaged the Chief Executive Officer of Shell plc, Mr Wael Sawan, I directed my team to look beyond a solution for one company or one project. We needed a framework that could unlock a wider pipeline of investment while protecting Nigeria’s long-term interests.

That framework is now in place.

Ultimately, I will judge its success by what Nigerians see from it in terms of good jobs, stronger Nigerian businesses, greater production, increased revenues for the Federation and new capabilities built here at home.

Our natural resources must work harder for our people.

That is the purpose of this decision, and we will pursue it with urgency.

Nigeria First.

President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces

@channelstv The only "illiterate" I know among those jostling for the position of president in Nigeria is Peter Obi; in fact, I realized he's a dullard after so many disastrous interviews he granted to TV stations and Podcasters before and after the 2023 elections.

[OBAZE KADIRI @itsevhekhe]

@Sistaliano Presidents Trump and Putin, oyoyo!
Olodo Davido, you do this one.

[OBAZE KADIRI @itsevhekhe]

@JohnFanimokun This Daddy get words for mouth ooo. It will be interesting to see how our Fathers- men in cassocks- go all out to campaign for their preferred presidential candidates in 2027.

[JJ. Omojuwa @Omojuwa]

No one has shown greater willingness to promise anything, however irrational, to secure the presidency. He commits to visiting every secondary school in Nigeria. The implausibility is unremarkable.

Your supporters aren’t the only ones watching these videos. At least tweak your messages when you’re talking to rational people instead of serving them the same thing you serve your base.

[JJ. Omojuwa @Omojuwa]

Nigeria has about 60,000 secondary schools. Four years is 1,461 days.

Any candidate promising to visit all of them is promising 41 schools a day, no weekends, no governing. At half an hour a school he finishes in 2034. That is assuming his presidency has no other duties.

Serious Nigerians cannot afford to indulge candidates who have a broken relationship with numbers. Nobody around him said, ‘Oga, this one no go work.’ I don’t think they understand numbers and how things work in that group. Noise and noise only, sound bereft of even common sense.

Save for the Unity Schools, King’s College and Queen’s College and the rest of them, secondary schools are not the Federal Government’s business at all. So he is promising four years of doing something that is not his job, at a pace that is not possible, to prove a seriousness he does not have.

These jokes write themselves. My primary interest this election season is to cast out foolishness in the polity!
