How greed ruined opposition in Nigeria | The Nation Newspaper thenationonlineng.net/how-greed-ruin…

@OyebamijiBola stands well to be our next governor in Osun State. Enough of ruling Osun people by proxies. The incumbent is just the social face of the leadership, he knows next to nothing about the decisions that are shaping the future of our people. We should call the spade by its name, AMBO will restore decency to the governance. Ijo ti a jo ti to. Ise ti ya!

Daddy Oyewo while here publicly told Kunle Afford and others in his industry not to use his health to raise funds; he said though sick, he was still working and that his children are doing well enough to take good care of him. As my distant uncle, I sent him a text in March this year to give me his account details for his birthday gift, the text was not replied. Kola Oyewo lived the ethos of OMOLUABI to the letter and the legacy of integrity and contentment he left behind will serve as his sweet memorials. Rest on Baba daadaa. As a young boy, Kola Oyewo signed the scholarship award letter that his then club, OBA SOCIAL ELITE CLUB gave to me, baba was the president. May his soul rest in peace.

It’s a book. The names listed as members of the club represent the generation that made attempts to end the dichotomy; they were patriots from both sides- Oba Ile and Oba Oke. Historically, they are 2 towns that are interwoven by culture, religion, education and marriages. Both my parents are from the 2 Obas. It is my prayer that some of us will come together to continue from where Daddy Oyewo and his contemporaries stopped.

Many decent and factual young Nigerians supported Peter Obi out of genuine conviction and patriotism in 2023. However, President's Tinubu speeches, campaign promises are matching with his actions, and fruitful results are coming out. -Succession of governments in the past attempted fuel subsidy subsidy, but were defeated by the supreme powers of cabals and oil mafians. Tinubu did that without any fear or doubt. -The CBN mess was an institutional heist just like fuel subsidy with powerful people behind, but Tinubu defied them and cleanse the CBN madness -Bola Ahmed Tinubu secured local government autonomy at a great risk of facing all Nigeriana Governors in court, and he won -Nobody ever thought Nigeria could easily secure funding to kickstart 1000s of km of concrete roads, legacy projects that clearly intends to connect this country. There are many other things that make Bola Ahmed Tinubu a standalone politician in Nigeria. Even his harshest adversaries must one day wake up and appreciate his legacy and contributions in rebuilding this country. 🇳🇬✊

Seems Osun will finally be getting a proper first lady with clarity of purpose compared to the confusion that we have currently. Hear from the wife of APC’s governorship candidate in Osun; Dr Mrs. Sekinat Bola Oyebamiji.

Dr Sekinat Bola Oyebamiji (@Dr_Sekinat), a Consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist and wife of Asiwaju Munirudeen Bola Oyebamiji (@OyebamijiBola), the Gubernatorial Candidate of the APC (@OfficialAPCNg) in Osun State, has expressly endorsed her husband. This is one to watch until the end. AMBO will make Osun more prosperous. Support AMBO. Vote AMBO. Watch. Share 💙.

Ewooooooo! I jjst fainted, and I'm yet to get up! Someone just told me she bought our sauce last Friday because she liked the "branding works" PS: she bought 4 litres of ayamashe sauce from us! 👇👇👇 💃💃💃

The quality of the bridges in Osogbo is displayed in this makeshift campaign podium.

@OyoPoliceNG needs no court order to reduce that compound to rubbles; it’s taking too long for those bricks to become dusts. @seyimakinde should confiscate the place and build a solid police station there. That place is a crime scene and should be treated as one, immediately.

I hope @PoliceNG @OyoPoliceNG levels this compound to the ground; @seyimakinde should confiscate the property and declare the place a crime scene.

@ayomairoese is intellectually dishonest. George rubbed it on her like cream.

What the honorable suggests as the solution here is not the solution. The solution to the problem of attacks on schools is for the @nassnigeria @NGRSenate and @NGRHouse to make a law that every elected politician and appointed government officers to enroll their children in public schools; it should become a crime for any of them to send their wards abroad for schooling. If this’s done, banditry, kidnapping of school children will end in weeks.

The irony of state police is that in many states, the federal govt would still have to come back and do the policing. Collectively, states have been receiving about ₦500 billion monthly since 2024, yet in some of 'em the most visible development remains ongoing federal roads.

The all-in cost estimate of 10,000MW delivered to homes till you see your electric bulbs light up is ~$47billion! The whole year gross crude oil revenue of your country is ~$31billion. To cheat with figures you need to know the Math. You cant stand on what you dont understand.

Do you know why people hardly call out their state governors on social media, no matter how poorly the governor perform? Because governors are closer to you. Some of their appointees are your mutuals to whom you owe that silence. And when governors share money, oma n lor far! 😁

This’s @elrufai’s son objectifying President @officialABAT GCFR. May you live long enough to regret ever saying this. Malam raised an odious son in Bashir.

@officialABAT, today makes it 3 years that destiny/fate bestowed on you the opportunity and power to address the issues surrounding security in Nigeria, it appears things are getting worse in the direction. You were neither there nor here in this opinion(3 years more than enough to take a position) and no one knows how far the government you lead has gone on the state police project. @seyimakinde made a snide comment about you over Amotekun yesterday and accused you of ‘wasting our time’. The clock is ticking and the nation is bleating. Please DO SOMETHING now, GCFR.

I have a couple of friends within and outside Nigeria that are now fond of sharing every bad news about Nigeria with me especially from Instablog, Tunde Ednut and few others all in a bid to question my support for the President. My response has been the same and quite effective. - Where was your message when Nigeria recently eliminated the number 2 of ISWAP (globally) in addition to over 100 members in a collaboration with the US? - ⁠Where was your message every time reports come out that thousands of terrorists have been eliminated in the Northeast by the military? - ⁠Where was your message when Nigeria’s economy was listed among the highest growing economies in the world ahead of many of your favorite nations? - ⁠Where was your message when students celebrated 3 years of no ASUU strike due to increased funding and the students loan? - ⁠Where was your message when several citizens were celebrating improved infrastructural investments across the 36 states of the federation? - ⁠Where was your message when state governors were praising the President for increased allocation which has stopped them from borrowing and helped pay salaries on time? - ⁠Where was your message when Nigeria was removed from IMF list of debtors? - ⁠Where was your message when companies that used to declare losses started declaring excess profits all over the place? - ⁠Where was your message when Nigeria became a net exporter of petroleum products compared to years when we were the import king? - ⁠Where was your message when leading credit rating companies started upgrading Nigeria’s rating after many decades? - ⁠Where was your message when people were praising Tunji Ojo for making our passport applications easier than it has ever been in the country? Why is it that you only remember to message me when bad things happen in the country? Have you been waiting for this opportunity simply because you didn’t like that choice of 2023? Again, let nobody gaslight you ahead of 2027 due to recent developments that now sounds politically motivated. They have a right to focus on the criticisms and bad news while you have a right to focus on the positive ones while hoping for the best going forward. It is a fight between those who want to take us back in time to the corrupt days when subsidy payments on fuel and forex ruled the economy. A fight between those who just want their kinsman to become the President without any solid capacity and one that has proven overtime to be effective. Their concerns must be duly noted but never get gaslighted by their claims on your choice. Come 2027, the only choice is to remain focused and return the one that has done the hard job which other presidents have ran away from simply because they want to win elections. We will be there cos it will happen 😊.
