PDPGuy:
For real, the APC have been a colossal economic failure. Too many of our people are living in penury due to some truly shambolic economic and monetary policies engineered by Abuja

BlueRayDick:


If that’s Wike’s end game, then he needs not throw this much tantrums then. Tinubu or Atiku emerging as president won’t be much headache for him. None of those corrupt two will carry EFCC for head and start touch-lighting other corrupt public office holders like Wike na . Even if they do, Wike has enough coverings to come out unscathed from whatever corruption charges that will be leveled against him. Wike’s wife is a judge that obviously knows the law and knows people in other courts of higher jusrisdiction, their are enough SAN’s that will defend him successfully at a reduced rate sef ……..

I don’t think Wike is bothered about any possible investigations into his reign in Rivers’ state , I think he’s more concerned about his relevance in national politics post 2023 general elections .

was it any better during PDP era?

GloriousGbola:


there was a gradual decline from obj's time - like the frog boiling in water. you can see it, feel it, but it is slow gradual and you can hope things will stabilize

but now, in buhari's tenure na from the boiling water to frying pan to fire in short order
and matters are not helped by his financial team whose idea of economic empowerment is dishing out 5k to the poor

PDP era was the worst era..

Good luck and his gorvenment was so corrupt that former UK prime minister has to call Nigeria fantastically corrupt nation..

GloriousGbola:

PDP was 16 years

OBJ to Yardua to GEJ

the obj years were a great start but not consolidated on

yardua simply froze or reversed several of objs inititaives


as for GEJ - he was simply not made for leadership and everyone was just doing as they please

and this admin has a lot of the same corruption issues

any admin that fails to swiftly publicly investigate, and prosecute members of the cabinet / administration who are clearly involved in corruption is simply more of the same

Lies Lies Lies

This country has never been better. Our lives have never been this good since 1914.

The only way to see the economic prosperity of this country is by travelling abroad.

Once you relocate, you'll begin to see how our lives are much better

BlueRayDick:


GEJ’s government was a disappointment, he had everything to make the country prosperous , but he just couldn’t help himself; like u said he’s certainly not cut for leadership . …. He just messed everything up. He could’ve prosecuted the Boko Haram better , he could’ve used the funds at his disposal wella and should’ve clamped down on corrupt people in his government but he was just not man enough.

Buhari on the other hand was and is still terrible . He’s a case of when the head is bad, all other parts of the body will be worse off . He spent most of his first term fighting for his life, he locked the boarder of a country that is mostly import dependent with little or no arrangements made for substitute of those imported goods already on ground, the anti-corruption campaign he rode on to power has been long dead with his anti-graft chairman enmeshed in corruption and abuse of office allegations, Terrorism rose to an all-time high under him and he has not shown to be a better decision maker than GEJ whom people ditched for him. In fact , his body language and optics portray him as a more divisive president than GEJ ever was. …. Yes he’s done well in the area of infrastructure development, but as far as economy is concerned the old man is still stuck in 1984

GloriousGbola:


how many governors truly remain politically relevant after they leave office?
90% of them fall out with their successor
Wike is trying the lagos template - installing a bureaucrat career civil servant [while he handles the politicking] - but we are yet to see if Wike actually has any clout in rivers.

this election will tell

BlueRayDick:


I would like to hear what his loud mouth will say when his successor tries to take control of the structure and act like the almighty governor Wike has portrayed himself to be all through his tenure

GloriousGbola:


as e happen between obaseki and osho, na so e go happen

turn by turn

knowing wike, fight may even start before inauguration

On the one hand, my electrician is angry and wants both the PDP and the APC sacked next year. On the other want, he’s disappointed in me for rejecting his advice that I should bypass AEDC meter—to partake in the very corruption that triggered him to oppose the two major parties. Gimba Kakanda

PDPGuy:

The PDP era, even with the rampant corruption, was infinitely better than what is being served to our fellow country people today. You know it’s so bad now that staples such as rice, beans etc are almost the exclusive preserve of the rich

Amoto94:
The political elite is converging on London and Paris to renew their friendships and end their feuds over champagne and caviar while their battle-ready supporters are online competing on who dispenses the most savage vawulence and who collects the most damaging woto-woto. Gimba Kakanda

donjazet:


No it wasn't any better but that is why we chased PDP away and ushered a new government. So that they would do things differently. Unfortunately they failed woefully.

Which is why we are all looking for a new credible alternative. This next election is beyond only Peter Obi himself, we are talking about filling in all electable positions with a new class of politicians. From top down.
We do all these in the hope that they will be different from the other two.

donjazet:
Obasanjo really carry Obi matter personal.
Hmmm. What is he cooking?

seankafor:
so suddenly obj is a saint now because he is supporting Peter obi

If you cared about integrity, is obj the person your saint obi should be hanging out with?

Both obi, obj, atiku and tinubu are all recycled corrupt entities..

They aren't going to do any magic

Who do you want then since you've written these ones off
