Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it's yet another time to remind you that I'm fully committed to your project. You're the best man for the job. U're the one who will take this country through a different level of development. On your Mandate! Gbogbowa la ma ri #BATiSHE lagbara olorun.

Peter Obi is not more qualified than me to contest presidency and he is not doing NDC any favour — Senator Dickson

Listening to Peter Obi on CNN. Doesn’t sound confident. Very uninspiring. Not proffering solutions to the problems. I am not impressed. Extremely disappointed. Very poor outing.

The true test of sustainable governance is the ability to pass the baton to proven hands, guided by minds that see the future clearly. Today, I present a ticket that reflects the strength, diversity, and future of our great state. Dr. Obafemi Hamzat has proven himself to be a dedicated public servant, a dependable partner in governance and a steadfast advocate for progress. Joining him as his running mate is Princess Damilola Sonayon-James, a respected leader, sustainability professional, and grassroots champion whose commitment to community development and youth empowerment reflects the aspirations of many Lagosians. Together, they bring the experience, competence, and energy needed to build on our achievements and move Lagos forward. As we prepare for the forthcoming gubernatorial election, I invite party faithful, stakeholders, and all Lagosians to support this team as we continue our shared mission of building a Greater Lagos.

Top two favourites to win the World Cup.. France lost to Ivory Coast & Spain drew with Iraq. Yet it’s Portugal, after beating Chile and Nigeria (two strong opponents), that you’re writing off heading into the World Cup. Make it make sense.

@RmaBello 😂😂😂

Right here 🤭

The question is no longer whether opportunities are emerging in Nigeria; the question is whether you are prepared for them. #nigeria #progress #

Only Messi fans want to force everyone to accept one player is better, that’s how you know it’s not true. You people think football is just close control, dribbling in tight spaces, playmaking in between lines, maybe that Messi is the most naturally gifted player ever. But Ronaldo didn’t just succeed in one system or one type of football. He dominated in England, Spain, and Italy three very different leagues tactically. He’s doing the same at Saudi Arabia a different continent at 40. And Not just “did well,” but top scorer, best player, main man everywhere. The argument is that if you drop him into any football ecosystem fast league, tactical league, counterattacking team, possession team, he still becomes the focal point and produces. Now let’s go into “Football Mechanics”, not legacy, not mentality or trophies. There’s nobody born of Man that plays football that Strikes the ball better than Ronaldo, Right leg, Weak foot, Headers. He has the best legs. If Messi excel in playmaking, there’s nobody that moves better than Ronaldo. Movement and Positioning. Then let’s go into “big game personality” argument. Take a look at Champions League knockout stages where the level rises and he doesn’t just participate, he escalates. Late goals, hat-tricks against elite opposition. The belief is simple, when the pressure is highest and everyone tightens up, Ronaldo becomes more decisive, not less. He’s inevitable. Mr Talk and Do. Then there’s versatility in roles, not just longevity. He started as a flashy winger doing skills and beating players 1v1. Then became a penalty-box striker. Then a pure finisher. Then a header machine. Then a “give me one chance and I’ll score” player. Very few players completely reinvent themselves while staying world-class for over a decade. Then there’s “repeatability.” Messi might give you genius moments that feel supernatural. But Ronaldo gives you certainty. Not magic every time, but guaranteed output. goals in different ways, against different opponents, under different managers. Left foot, right foot, header, tap-in, counterattack, no dependency on a single system or partner. Then there’s international football, Messi had Argentina built around him with generations of elite talent eventually peaking together, while Ronaldo dragged Portugal through eras where the squad quality was not comparable to Spain, Brazil, France, etc. And still delivered trophies like Euro 2016 and Nations League, being the face of those runs. Finally, the mentality argument, not just “he works hard,” He imposes himself on eras. Wherever football goes tactically, physically, or stylistically, he adapts and remains relevant at the top level. That’s why you’ll hear us say “he conquered football,” not just “he played well.” There’s nobody born of Man that plays Football better than Cristiano Dos Santos Aveiro Ororo Ronaldo.

Seriake Dickson's clarity is very admirable.He knows Peter Obi & Obidients don't care about parties & are likely to leave next year if Obi loses & is committed to not building a party that centers them. It is clear he has studied the effect of their exit on ADC & LP. Smart guy.

Obi not more qualified than me to contest presidency; he’s not doing NDC any favour: Senator Dickson gazettengr.com/obi-not-more-q…

Don’t Disparage Me or My Party. If It’s Easy, Go and Form Your Own Party. You’re Not Doing NDC a Favor. NDC Is Doing You a Favor — Sen. Dickson Tells Obedients Former Bayelsa State Governor and Senator, Seriake Dickson, has pushed back against claims that supporters of Peter Obi are doing the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) a favor by backing the party’s presidential ticket. Speaking during an interview on Arise TV’s Prime Time Show, Dickson said the NDC existed and was attracting prominent politicians long before Obi and other opposition figures joined its platform. According to him, Obi and his running mate were offered the party’s presidential ticket without paying any money, stressing that the NDC leadership voluntarily opened its platform to them because it had confidence in their candidacy. Dickson rejected suggestions that the NDC needed Obi more than Obi needed the party, insisting that the narrative undermines the efforts of those who built the party from scratch. “There is no one doing NDC a favor,” he said. “Rather, the NDC and my colleagues are doing people a favor by granting our platform to them.” The senator also warned Obi’s supporters, popularly known as Obedients, against attacking the party or its leadership while claiming to support the former Anambra governor. “You cannot be supporting Peter Obi, if you are genuinely supporting him, and at the same time disparaging me, the leader, or the platform itself. That is nons£nsical,” Dickson stated. He further challenged critics who believe political party formation is easy, saying they should attempt to register and build their own party structures. “If it’s easy for people to form a party, go and form yours,” he said. Dickson maintained that the NDC had been receiving influential politicians from across the country months before Obi and other opposition figures joined, citing former governors and political heavyweights who had already aligned with the party. He urged supporters and political commentators to show greater respect for the platform, warning against narratives that portray the NDC as dependent on any single individual for relevance or survival.

Sen Seriake Dickson to Obidients: “You cannot be supporting Peter Obi and be disparaging the leadership of the party”

I understand Dickson loathe the Obidient movement, what I wasn’t expecting is this public indignation. Dickson is building a party for 2031, a viable party in the South-South at the very least. Obidients are not necessarily the kind of people you want to make the fulcrum of such ambition. Dickson’s ball game is astonishing

When Ronaldo fans are talking about Ronaldo they talk only about Ronaldo, when Messi fans want to talk about Messi they mention Ronaldo

Okonkwo to Obi: Suing your ex-spokesperson unwise — I may be forced to divulge confidential information Kenneth Okonkwo, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), says he may be forced to divulge confidential information if Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), files a lawsuit against him over alleged defamation.  In a series of posts via X, to the lawsuit threat from Obi, Okonkwo said it is “very unwise” for anyone to sue their former spokesperson for defamation. thecable.ng/okonkwo-to-obi…
