Dear @dikko_radda
I am a doctor working with the state government, I am in dire need of a house I can call mine. Please, consider me ahead of the bandits.
Thank you 🙏🏽
That you will tell a Commissioner for Environment to ease the smell and tonnes of waste in your city but people will be defending him like they are not affected by the same smell and garbage.
I still can’t believe this is really happening.
You cannot rehabilitate a person that beheads a person.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that offs people for sport.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that kidnaps and rapes children.
Most of you will be wondering why Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of all people chose to align with the People's Democratic Party faction led by Nyesom Wike to run for Senate.
Understand how the game works.
Natasha is not in Wike’s camp because she believes they have moral or legal claim over the party leadership. Far from that. Natasha is in that camp to battle for her political destiny and survival.
She didn’t join the NDC because she understands that what she needs at this moment is not the popularity of Peter Obi or Rabiu Kwankwaso. She knows that in a fair contest, her own popularity is strong enough to earn her a seat in the Senate for the second time.
But Natasha also understands that popularity is not her biggest problem.
Her biggest problem is how to checkmate the White Lion called Yahaya Bello from manipulating the election against her.
Natasha knows that Yahaya Bello will do anything to brush her out of the way, no matter how popular she is. She has seen the same fate handed over to Dino Melaye and many others. She has seen a situation where an entire sector of road was allegedly destabilized under his watch as Governor simply because ballots were not meant to get to areas where his popularity was not guaranteed.
So what does Natasha do in this kind of situation?
She aligns with a greater force, one powerful enough to shield her and fight beside her.
Natasha understands that with Wike’s backing, no stronghold can easily keep her on the ground. She knows Wike is a fighter who stops at nothing when it comes to protecting his structure and confronting anyone who stands against it. She believes Wike will not hesitate to go head-to-head with Yahaya Bello if the battle demands it.
That is why she has chosen her political vanities wisely.
At least, in politics, the best way to ward off evil is sometimes to align with a greater evil.
Morality alone cannot earn you political positions.

I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.
Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.
You too can connect the dots: https://t.co/faIfzWfAIp
The federal government declared him wanted
The federal government celebrated his birthday
The party that occupies the federal government appointed him to a reconciliation committee
He is in federal court
He is contesting a federal election
As Fela would sing, “the reason of Awa suffer e don dey show em face to us”
'You don't trust Obi who said he will do only one term of Four years.
But you trust Tinubu who said he will give you electricity in four years, failed and ended up buying solar for himself at Aso Rock?'
Copied from Harry Da Trigot🤣
This onirugbon yetue has no honour. The same thing you hailed Obi for in August is what you are dragging him for in May. Your brain didn’t tell you he was wrong then till you crawled away from supporting him. People who speak with two sides of their mouth <<<<<<<<
Mr Peter Obi says when he was a Governor, whenever he went to, people were telling him things were okay, but deep down him, he knew he hasn’t done anything, narrates how a little girl made him fulfil a promise he made to a school but forgot
What kind of leader makes a promise, visits the place, pretends to forget until a little girl called him out
Ehhh 😗
Tinubu simply distributed N700bn in LNG funds to APC governors like a gift, just like that. And to our usually loud “progressives,” this is apparently normal. It helps when your name is not President Umoru, but President Bola.
This hypocrisy will become even more obvious when a Nigerian who is not of Yoruba heritage becomes president. The South West media will scream murder, civil society groups will suddenly rediscover their voices, and the “progressives” will resume operations overnight.
Does the APC in Lagos have any sense of decency or competence?
Why should everyone on the Island be trapped in traffic simply because of your summit at TBS?
This is utterly ridiculous. Madness, even.
First, you have a Commissioner for Transport, you control LASTMA, and you have the RRS under your influence, yet you still cannot manage simple traffic flow around your own event?
Secondly, between Marina and Bonny Camp, there are several parking facilities — both public and private. Doesn’t common sense suggest that arrangements should have been made with these parking lots so buses conveying your members could park properly while traffic continues to flow?
Is basic competence too much to ask for?
Shame on all of you.
The mind of political contractors cannot comprehend the possibility of government appointees returning to their careers and professions.
This ties in nicely into Obi’s political philosophy and anti-corruption mechanism. A politician whose source of income is politics would have to steal so much to maintain a retinue of aides when they leave office.
