@EkeneAninze Absolutely 👏
You’re spot on.
@PeterObi international goodwill is one of his biggest assets right now.
He should leverage it to put Tinubu’s government and their compromised INEC under global scrutiny.
@EkeneAninze A lot of people are obsessed with Peter Obi, for different reasons.
But Seun’s obsession has taken it to Olympic levels, bro.
The man will bring Obi’s name into a conversation about rice and beans. 😄😄

@EkeneAninze It’s really unclear what that Seriake Dickson is doing.
Strangely enough, he appears to see Peter Obi as a political rival.
Or is it just me seeing it this way?
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
@EkeneAninze El-Rufai insulted almost everyone who warned that Tinubu, with his Lagos antecedents of state capture, should not be trusted with national power. Now he has been served.
The law of sowing and reaping is universal. Neither El-Rufai nor the power-intoxicated Tinubu will be exempt.
@EkeneAninze To ask Tinubu to prosecute El-Rufai fairly and by the rule of law is an impossible task — like forcing a camel through the eye of a needle.
While I reject Tinubu’s ways entirely, there is poetic justice here.
As they say: those who live by the sword, die by the sword.
