Heterodox:
Tinubu.


His ability to choose efficient leaders.


I think Nigeria needs leaders and not just a leader.

Buhari regime is messed up I think majorly because his cabinet members efficiency are not on the same level.


With Tinubu that'll be different.

And I do think Nigeria needs a self-sustaining system that will thrive regardless of who occupies Aso Rock. I believe in Tinubu's ability to put that in place.

All of them have K-leg so my choice is simply who’s K-leg is least K and who can manage Nigeria in what will be a very trying period post 2023.

I’m voting for Tinubu

He has the experience and track record and has demonstrated a capacity to identify the issues, identify talent, put round pegs in round holes, a capacity to raise revenue which we will need, a capacity for innovation and thinking outside the box. He is not a tribalist or a religious bigot. Nigeria needs someone who can hit the ground running, Only Atiku and Tinubu have that quality. My major problem with Atiku is PDP and the type of characters in PDP

Peter Obi IMHO is simply a con man taking advantage of Ibo sentiment and youth frustration, neither of which is rooted in rational thinking

His track record is mediocre at best, he has no meaningful or signature achievement as a 2 term governor during an economic boom!! If Nigeria weren’t in such dire circumstances I might have been tempted to vote for Obi/Datti just for change sake, just to send a message to the political class but Nigeria cannot afford amateurs and the inexperienced at this point

. You don’t solve a problem by creating a bigger one….you only have to look at 8 yrs of Buhari,

Nigeria cannot afford another president who will spend 4 yrs just figuring out how things work and what to do. IMHO Obi is the most dangerous option of the 3 for the future of Nigeria

. A corrupt man who knows what he is doing and can grow the economy is 10x better than a so called clean man who hasn’t got a plan, a clue or the experience or the support in parliament to hit the ground running.

Nigeria needs someone with a plan who can hit the ground running. I do not advocate corruption and embezzlement but I am a realist. A man who in 8 years increases IGR by 300% and steals 10% is better than a man who steals nothing but cannot raise IGR.
Whereas the former has created more money for public projects, the latter has done nothing

At this point in time a thief who can build a road or send my child to school is better than a clean man who cannot improve my lot because he hasn’t got the ideas to raise revenue or a concrete plan. Nigeria is maxed out debt wise, if you cannot raise revenue you will have no money to execute your promises

*LOOK AT TINUBU's CABINET AS GOVERNOR OF LAGOS STATE - By Olushola George Olumoroti (OGO)*


*LAI MOHAMMED* Chief of Staff from Kwara.

*YEMI OSINBANJO,* Attorney General from Ogun.

*WALE EDUN*,Finance Commissioner from Ogun.

*DELE ALAKE* Commissioner for Information from Ekiti

*RAUF AREGBESOLA* Commissioner for Works from Osun State.

*BEN AKABUEZE* Commissioner for Budget and Planning from Anambra State.

*FEMI LANLEHIN, SA* from Oyo State.

*AUTHUR WORREY* Commissioner for Lands from Delta State.

*HON. JAMES ABIODUN FALAKE*, third term Federal House of Representatives member, Representing Ikeja Federal Constituency - From Kogi State.

To name a few.

*For the eight years that he ruled Lagos*
He hired several guys to work with him. Apart from using them to work in his government, he also groomed them politically.

*Twelve years down the line* , see where those Tinubu guys are today -

1. PROF YEMI OSINBANJO, SAN was Tinubu's Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice.
He is today, Nigeria's Vice President.

2. *RAUF AREGBESOLA* was Tinubu's Commissioner for Works. Today he is a Minister after serving 8 years as Governor of Osun State.

3. *"BABATUNDE RAJI FASHIOLA SAN* was Tinubu's Chief of Staff. Today he is a Minister of works after 8 years as governor of Lagos State.

4. *ALHAJI LAI MOHAMMED* was Tinubu's first Chief of Staff and Commissioner. Today, he is a Minister of Information.

5. *BABATUNDE FOWLER* was appointed by Tinubu as Chairman of the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service. He was the immediate past Federal Inland Revenue Service Executive Chairman in our country.

7. *SUNDAY DARE,* was SA/ COS to Tinubu, today he is a Minister for sports.

8. *BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU* was Tinubu's Commissioner for Commerce and Industry, he is now Governor of Lagos State.

*At the National Assembly* there are countless "Tinubu boys" who have occupied and are still occupying seats till today including N0 4 citizen of Nigeria, *Speaker, House of Reps*

Since 1999, the Tinubu camp has produced almost 98% of the members of the National Assembly from Lagos State. Forget politics, this man is a political enigma. Rewind to 1999, I am sure most of us have forgotten the names of the People who were elected Governors when he was elected governor too, some of them have gone into political extinction or gasping for breath politically.

Indeed, most of them are no longer relevant today.

Tinubu has not only managed to remain extremely relevant, he has continued to control Lagos politics 100%. Not only that, he manages to carry his boys along and today they occupy critical positions in our national life.

Take it or leave it, Tinubu is today, Nigeria's most powerful politician. It didn't just happen by chance. He worked very hard for it. Very very hard. The hallmark of a true and Born leader is not just the ability to rule well but also the ability to nurture and groom associates.

Tinubu is not like some other politicians in Nigeria, He is a goal getter.....

There is nothing he touches that doesn't excel.

- *NADECO*, He fought the Military to a Standstill.

- *AD excelled,*

- *ACN excelled* and

- *APC is excelling.....*

- *TVC* is one of the top TV stations in Nigeria.

*The Nation* is one of the leading newspapers in Nigeria, thereby creating Employment to many people.

- *He makes people,*

- *He follows up on them.*

- *He forgives routinely,*

- *He fights to teach not to kill*

- *He is a Pillar of Democracy,*

- *Mentor of great men*

*Please,Tell me* or Name a Politician that has this Records since more than 3 Decades ago.

*J-A-G-A-B-A-N is a great man politically......*

Botnik:
it's busiest cos the likes of tinubu made lagos condicive for business..

That's why the likes of dangote would rather build biggest refineries there instead of naija delta and thereby putting more pressure on the ports. .

What are other governors doing?

Lagos is not the only state with seaports and international airports in Nigeria. .

Lagos is collecting one of the lowest allocation from fg if you consider that the state is hosting millions of economic migrants from all over the country. Especially south east.. yet lago's thriving. Thanks to visionary men like tinubu

GodsOwnMan:


If Tinubu didn't develop Lagos then why are Ibos running away from alaigbo to Lagos? I don't have time for too much turenchi.

I am supporting BAT because he developed Lagos, he will develop Nigeria. Simple. No big turenchi.

Throwback:
Tinubu!

The only Governor whom his sworn enemies admit he was the best and acknowledge his brilliance.

The Governor who took Lagos monthly IGR from N600m to N7b in 8yrs, while his competition pretender was only able to move Anambra monthly IGR from N450m to N600m in 8yrs (despite that Ngige was able to grow from N50m to N450m in just 3years).


I will vote Tinubu whose Lagos State was the 1st public service in Nigeria to embrace TSA and ERP systems like Oracle, while his analog competition pretender was allowing contractors to cash N250m cheque in Anambra for expenditure to be done in Lagos that housed the bank headquarters, despite that he was the former Chairman of the Bank.

You might wonder what would have happened if Tinubu and Obi had reversed roles as Governor of their respective states?

Obi would have purged the state civil service of Yorubas from Ogun and Ekiti, while Nigerians from Edo, Anambra, and Akwa-Ibom would already know they are not welcomed in the state civil service. Tinubu would not have sacked Igbos from Abia and Imo.

Obi would have inherited N600m monthly IGR in Lagos and after 8yrs would have managed to grow it to only N900m (instead of Tinubu that grew it to N7b). Tinubu would have inherited N450m monthly and grown it to N5b monthly (Instead of the N700m monthly that Obi achieved).

Obi would have been at a loss on how to manage the different religions in Lagos, while Tinubu would have fostered better harmony between Catholics and Anglicans/Protestants, and other non-Christian faiths.

Obi would have written a letter to a school headboy in Lagos, while Tinubu would have allowed the headboy serve as a 1day Governor to better build his confidence and exposure to being a future leader.


I can write a full Nairaland page dissecting what would have been, but we know what became, and I am sure Anambra regrets not having a 1st class brain lead the state like Lagos was led by Tinubu.

twentyfivekobo:


Right.



Whose K-leg is quite big.....mind you.

.

So after complaining about K-Leg...you mention the guys with the biggest K leg of the lot....



I'm not with the obituarists...but let's be frank, TInubu and Atiku are a part of the reason why the youth are frustrated...keep that in mind. And when a youth is frustrated, it is rational that they won't vote for the cause of their frustrations...which include APC and PDP...the parties of one Tinubu and one Atiku.

.

So, at one point, you rightly admit Nigeria needs change, but then you end up justifying voting for same old, same old. That's why things are as bad as they are ten, twenty, thirty years ago.....



Whose regime included a lot of TInubu appointees, including one who was put in charge of revenue generation...where he failed woefully.



So? Buhari was voted in based on change...and spent 6 months figuring out what to do. Buhari was brought in by the Tinubu YOU support.



So, vote corruption because ...experience? After you guys will come and complain about how they are stealing money again, and how the government is corrupt...and then with your own hands, vote a corrupt person into office?

You better not complain when the problems get worse.




I'm not an Obituarist...honestly Obituarists have blasted me well well, and yes, he is not that spectacular But...Obi did do a lot in infrastructure. Very much so. And Lagos, upon all the shouting about Tinubu..the tax to gdp ratio is still below the national average of 8.1%..plus he was not that spectacular either. His power project failed (in fairness, no one knew Enron was going to collapse a year later), and Lagos town is still a dump, outside the middle class bubble.

Obi too is not that great...I will give you that..



Yah, we made the same excuses for GEJ and Buhari...and see where we are now?

Nigerians awake..

chidexleo:
OBI
Because he doesn't buy vote in primaries.
Man of integrity.
Doesn't get involved in bribery and corruption.
He is for everyone ( unify).
He will make Nigeria a producing country there by making the naira strong.
He loves the poor.
He is a problem solver, a case study Anambra state.
He will solve security issues as he did in Anambra (before OBI onitsha was a no go area in teams of insecurities, dirty, kidnapping, even a Governor was kidnapped) but obi solve it all
He will reduce wastage.
He will reduce cost of governance.
He will give us steady light and improve businesses.
He is humble

casualobserver:


I really hate people who say things like Nigerians awake….what makes you think your views are superior to mine? If you are going to tell me to awaken at least have someone with a spectacular tmrwck record to wow me!!!! We have a difference of opinion, I respect your decision to not vote for Tinubu, please respect my decision to vote for Tinubu. Let’s leave it at that. I do t have time to do this with every person who quotes me. I am tired of all this intolerance and nonsense. I’m voting for Tinubu, I’ve stated my reasons which is what this thread is about. I am not interested in converting any Atiku or Obi supporters…vote as you wish and leave me in peace!!!

The real problem if Nigeria are those intolerant people who in a democracy think that their views are the right views, must be shared by others and can’t respect that this is a democracy.

twentyfivekobo:


On the other hand, voting for corruption because experience is not the way forward.

You are free to vote as you choose, but don't complain about the effects .

casualobserver:


I shall vote for Tinubu and I am prepared for the consequences good or bad, thank you very much!!! Don’t waste your time or mine try to to persuade me otherwise, if you cared to read or understand what what written, I already told you the others IMHO are worse or will be worse. If there was a better alternative I wouldn’t be voting for him. The only way I won’t vote for Tinubu is if there was a better alternative and there isn’t!!!! End of discussion!!!!!!
