Obi didn't claim to build Anambra or any part of Nigeria so he can go anywhere to get a quality health care that APC failed to provide.

Tinubu was already the Treasurer of Mobil Nigeria at 40 years. His career progression to the very top of Mobil group was a certainty if he had continued with the company. He abandoned this certainty for the uncertainty of politics simply because of his desire to serve.

The drug case was started when he was already a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It was never an issue before he joined politics. Even at that, he was cleared of all charges and there was never a criminal conviction.

Well, it is not the duty of Tinubu to rescue Lagos from one party rule. That’s the duty of the opposition movement in Lagos. They should look for their own Tinubu that can organize them into a formidable coalition that can defeat the ruling party in the state. Overall, stop hating.
I don't know how you are able to know that his career progression was a certainty. "The treasurer" was not an executive position to begin with. Whether he abandoned his role or not is a private matter for him as he was pursuing his personal ambition not for public good. You can't tell me that Tinubu is different from the average Nigerian politician who is after his own interest. Nothing in his political journey points to any philosophy based on public good.

That the drug case started before or after he became senator is irrelevant. It does not make the case less relevant or not. The fact is he entered settlement with the US to forfeit money suspected to be proceeds of drug peddling. That is more like an admission of guilt than clearing one's name.

I never knew there's a particular point that attempt to create a one party state is ok by you. In one breath you berate OBJ's attempt to create a one party state and in another breath praise Tinubu for succeeding at creating a one party state. That's double-faced. Overall, stop ass-licking

It takes a special kind of bigotry to hate Tinubu. Like, why should anybody hate someone that is so brilliant, competent, nationalistic, and compassionate?

Tinubu abandoned a very promising and rewarding career at Mobil unlimited for public service. He fought the military until democracy was restored in Nigeria when others who are now contesting against him were simply doing business and befriending the military. He fought all the undemocratic policies of the Obasanjo administration to the point that Obasanjo seized the statutory allocation of Lagos state.

Tinubu personally ensured that democracy survived in Nigeria by keeping the opposition movement alive when PDP was doing everything possible to turn the country to a one party state. This is the same Tinubu they are hating on. The same man that has made all possible sacrifices for this country.

For sensible folks like me who understand the history of where we are coming from and the challenges ahead, we will do everything possible to ensure Bola Tinubu is elected President. He’s the best candidate in the race and he will perform better than all the others put together.

WHO SAYS 4 YEARS IN OFFICE IS NOT ENOUGH FOR MEANINGFUL ACHIEVEMENTS?

IT'S A FACT THAT 90% OF GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA SINCE 1999 WITH REVENUES AT THEIR DISPOSAL CANNOT BOAST OF A QUARTER OF THESE ACHIEVEMENTS EVEN WITHIN THEIR EIGHT YEARS IN OFFICE.

Please relax and read comments made by hypocrites; people who have always loved and praised Okocha to high heavens, have now started cursing him ONLY because he said a good thing about Tinubu! Comments are being written by hateful, condemnable, rabble-rousing hypocrites.

Jay Jay Okocha's honest testimony is true for many people who left our home states to live and work in Lagos.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu WILL be sworn-in as Nigeria's President on May 29 2023, and there is absolutely nothing any deranged, biased, confused, tribal and religious bigot can do about it!

May God bless Nigeria and her great people; and bless Nigeria's next President, Mr. Capacity, Mr. Technocrats' Finder, Mr. Innovation, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Amen!

The friendship Tinubu has make all over the country from north to south isn't fluke.

It is his heart of selflessness and kindness to all regardless of your origin and religion that has endeared him to many.

An Igbo friend/neighbour of mine who we do early morning workout together told me a brief story of his friend who's once Tinubu's DSS aide.

He said the friend told him that Tinubu will be more interested in your issue than yourself if you're having challenges.

He said sometimes it is Tinubu who will remind him whether he has call his mum, and right there he'll make him to call his mum, ask about her health and so on. If the mum is challenged, Tinubu will give him money to send home and follow up on it.

He concludes that if such man gives you any assignment to deliver you'll do all that you could to make him proud.

Tinubu has built loyalty in people by his friendliness and the act of giving.

Zombiedients won't like this, be careful
