Hopefully the new minister will provide more valid explanations regarding ₦34.44 trillion the world bank claims was not remitted to the Nigerian Federation Account by the Tinubu government.

Which brings us back to my initial point, corruption. Whether its contract o, business o, as a government appointee, engaging in any of those is outside what is permitted. But the way Abuja people are shouting ‘networking’ on top of my tweet eh 🤣

Full-time in Manchester.

This is a personal project very close to my heart. I am developing a Recreational Park and Sport Arena in my hometown, Gaya Local Government in Kano State. The project is a modern community hub that will combine leisure, sports, commerce and social services in one place. The facility will feature a mini stadium for football and basketball, an event centre, a restaurant, a supermarket, shops and a mosque. My vision is to build a space that will serve families, empower young people, support businesses, and become a lasting landmark of pride and progress for the good people of Gaya. Allah ya ba mu ikon kammalawa. Ameen!

Obi/Kwankwaso ? Kwankwaso/Obi ? Atiku/Obi ? Obi/El-Rufai ? Ameachi/Kwankwaso ?

BREAKING: Nationwide, a powerful message echoed in Friday sermons: ‘INEC Chairman Joash Amupita must go.’ The Supreme Council for Sharia and Islamic Affairs in Nigeria warns the nation is watching, and the President cannot ignore this call.

This is a tweet from an APC member who is trying to kill the morale of Obidients and supporters of Ameachi, southerners, and create division. That is the assignment. The momentum of ADC in the North is not because of Atiku Abubakar. With all due respect, Atiku is definitely a force, like every other leader in the coalition one way or the other, but the momentum of the ADC is because of the unending suffering and poverty that Tinubu’s government has put all of us through. Also, it is factually wrong to say Peter Obi is not known in the North. This same man, when he was far less known, won Plateau and Taraba in 2023, and got good votes from Kaduna, Nasarawa, Adamawa, and Benue. You don’t get that kind of spread if people don’t know you. Now, granted that the strategy he employed in 2023 was discouraging to many of us, but we are ready to forgive, and we understand why he did that. The opposite side also whipped religious sentiment and even ran on a Muslim Muslim ticket, unprecedented from any major political party since 1999. And we all know it was not for the love of Islam. Those who didn’t know before 2023, at least by now know that it was mainly because it was easier and more convenient at the time to win the election. It was just strategy, no more, no less. So, if you look at this, why should the North continue holding a grudge against Obi for employing the same kind of political strategy because it was convenient for him at the time? Unless we are hypocrites, and I want to believe we are not. This momentum is bigger than any lone individual, regardless of his capacity. People are reacting to the reality they are facing in the markets, in their bellies, and in their surroundings, and everyone in this coalition has the capacity to do better than what we are seeing now. So it is not Peter Obi or nobody, it is not Ameachi or nobody, it is not RMK or nobody, it is not El Rufai or nobody, and it is certainly not Atiku or nobody. It is TINUBU MUST GO!
