What can Tinubu offer apart from him chanting "Emilokan"?

He should step down and let someone else take over,,, however, if it was someone like Osinbanjo,,that would have been different but Tinubu doesn't have any chance against Peter Obi...

He should forget about winning next year's election,,,even him rigging election with his thugs will never make him victorious..



How many Nigerians knew OSibanjo & his capacity before Tinubu brought him out,

If Tinubu could mentor someone like osibanjo, fashola, ambode, sanwo olu, femi gbajabiamila to mention a few, settling for osibanjo is like settling for a by product where the raw product exist.

You are entitled to your opinion and the worst anyone can do is to vote there preferred choice, however you can't stop the will of 95%ters wink know this know peace

There's no rules to campaign in politics, its depend on delegates to decide what dey want.

I am very sure the ranting and pronouncement of Emilokan paid off at the end.
There are rules to campaign in politics. You don't denigrate a person or group to campaign. In serious democracy that would have worked against him but he has money to throw around and that made it to pay off for him. You that Governor Abiodun personally replied him on tweeter. I think some people must have pleaded with him not to rock the bolt, till he said, he never authorized the tweet.
Tinubu went overboard by his utterances. People still kept so many things on their chest, if he manage to lose the election, you will hear so many things.

Mr. Man, Nigeria complexity require that the president must be on the field of play. Have you seen the best player been benched and not fielded in a complex competition.
The problems of Nigeria state is beyond a robot president, it require a mobile and cerebral president that will be up and doing, even though if it is for 4 years to stabilize the system. OBJ was to do much because he was in constant monitoring end engaging the citizenry.
The resources are there but leadership capacity to harness and tap the resources is the failure and if we miss it less year, Nigerians will pay for it because average Nigerian doesn't like doing the right thing, if we can get the right leader that will drive the system and make people do the right thing to get the right thing done, then things will definitely work out.

Opinion is subjective to your imagination & dilusions, the only valid conversations here is FACTS, comparing peter to Tinubu is an insult in all ramification. a 3rd class in philosphy to a 1st class from top 10th university in world are you daft or something undecided

No one can help you to see what you don't want to see, even if we paste Tinubu achievement on your front door you will refuse to see it, the question is why should we waste our time on a devoted anti- progress, Afenifere made a speech recently nd no one is surprised because what would have shocked political savy Nigerians is if Afenifere had decided to supported Tinubu undecided

Listing tinubu achievement is not a problem, buh when you see some names its a total waste of time, i swear cheesy however here is what you feign not to see, what did Obi do better ??


https://www.nairaland.com/7313300/some-bola-tinubus-projects-1999-2003
Let me first correct this your skewed mindset. The grade one came out with in university does not determine the level of one's intelligence. Many factors might have factored in in the grade. Prof. Soyinka had a third class grade but no single first class of his time can match his standing today in the world map. Bill Gates was a school dropout but people with first class grade cannot stand beside him today. The grade you have does not make you but the mindset you carry is the one that make you.
Meanwhile, stop carrying unfounded rumour Peter Obi had not third class but second class honour lower division.

On the main issue, I love the way you take up the challenge even though you posted a link that was only full of newspaper headings and no single picture to back up your claim, which already defeated your claim. There are many newspaper claims saying Niger bridge had been completed by previous governments https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.blueprint.ng/jonathan-flags-off-n117bn-second-niger-bridge/&ved=2ahUKEwjXm5fxgLX6AhWk_rsIHf63C0IQFnoECDIQAQ&usg=AOvVaw0CQBDLP-xDyzmH6zUGQcuE but in reality nothing has been done. So, this totally defeat your link posted. If you take time to read people's comments, it was the same comments given.

Let me help you, this is the way you need to do it. Video of some of the projects executed and delivered by Peter Obi.

With all due respect, Pat Utomi should shut up. As someone who has spent donkey years in Yoruba land, and has lived among Yorubas, if he doesn't understand the context in which Emilokan was used, then his education is a waste.

On another note, we are waiting for the macabre drama of accusations and counter accusations that will happen between him and his current "I no dey give shishi" buddy after the election, so he should save his energy.

I just watched the interview on Channels TV.

The only point Utomi had against Tinubu was his age, ignoring the fact that Atiku is even older.

He was also hessitant to speak about Tinubu's performance as Governor of Lagos because he was part of that government and worked with Tinubu.

He ended it with a blunder that, managing Lagos is easy and anyone can do it, highlighting the fact that Marwa was not famous as Governor of Borno till he became Governor of Lagos, forgetting that Marwa antecedent in Borno was notable and he set up some landmark institutions and projects even in Borno.

Here we go again, lets see what you have
You just stay in the corner of your house and make conclusion of what you have no clue of about Anambra. You call a consciously constructed structures renovated structures, the joke is on you. Even if you hear something at you're sharing at your political gathering at least you should have sat down and make confirmation than spreading unfounded rumour.

As a learned people we were told seen is believing and action speak louder than words, after sharing to you even videos of his projects, you still turn blind eye to them because you've resolved not to see his good part or you might not even watch because of the time or you may not have enough MB to watch it. I did told you if you need mb, let me know.
Peter Obi is never mate of Tinubu on education, health and security and these are the three aspect he faced squarely during his tenure and these three still pay off till date in the state.
Few achievements of Peter Obi in glance:


Peter Obi built from scratch to finish the following and many.

1. Peter Obi built from scratch Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku, Akwa with 25 building structures.

13. Onitsha business Park 1 was established, the business Park houses Nigeria stock exchange, banks, tax office, licensing office, restaurant
14. Agulu Lake hotel with access roads and two bridges was built by Peter Obi, the hotel was built for tourism
15. In order to promote reading culture in the state, he erected and adequately equipped Prof. Kenneth Dike Digital Modern Library, Awka. He also rehabilitated the Divisional Library, Onitsha.
16. Onitsha shopping mall was built under Peter Obi
17. Peter Obi reconstructed old Enugu/Onitsha Road from Awka to Onitsha and Zik's avenue Awka which is still standing today without pothole
18. Formed and funded state Vigilante and distributed to them 250 vehicles
19. Peter Obi distributed 500 school buses to all the secondary schools in Anambra
20. Accreditation of 12 Health Institutions, among are:
Iyiemu Hospital, Ogidi
Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Ihiala
Holy Rosary Waterside, Onitsha
Saint Joseph Hospital, Adazi-Nnukwu
Also built different Health Care and Maternal Centres across the state.
21. He was the first governor to purchase medical equipment of about 135 million and 50 life ambulances to some hospitals. All still functioning till date.
22. Anambra was the first state in Nigeria to distribute 30,000 computers and 32,500 HP Computers at different times.
23. He donated 3M and 444M naira to Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches respectfully to rehabilitate their schools. Considering their needs at that time.
24. He gave 1M each to Anambra First Class Graduates in all Nigerian Universities. Before his tenure was over 160 Anambrans were beneficiaries.
25. He gave 500 thousand naira to each secondary schools in the state to provide library materials and books to their library. This revolution tremendously boost the performance of students, as the state went from 26th position out of the 36 states in the federation to 1st position in the federation.
26. He gave one security vehicle to each of the 177 communities in Anambra. This in turn improved the security situation in Anambra tremendously.
27. He cleared pension and gratuity owed since 1991 by paying the beneficiaries a whooping sum of 37B.
28. He gave monthly #10k stipend to any Anambran above 80 years of age.
29. Funded agrolink hotel project Golden Tower.
30. He reconstructed the popular interchange bridge axis of Enugu and Onitsha Express Way to 6 lanes.
31. Constructed 800kilometers of roads network between the rural and urban areas of the state. This includes:
Igbariam Internal Roads
Aguleri to Adani Enugu Road etc
32. He constructed 30 verifiable bridges and flyovers, such as Nkpor flyover, Obosi flyover which Julius Berger is using today as their bypass.
33. He patronized home built vehicles by buying over 20,000 vehicles from Innoson which he gave to schools, traditional rulers and vigilante groups in the state.
34. He constructed and commissioned the governor's lounge at Annex Onitsha, FMR Customary Court of Appeal building, High Court Complex at Nnewi and Ogidi, judges quarters at Onitsha.
35. Built Dunukofia Local Government Secretariat.
36. Distributed 1.2B credit facility to farmers in the state and also cleared 20M debt owed banks by Anambra farmers as a result of 2012 flood devastation.
37. Purchase 185 vehicles (buses and taxis) in two years for Anambra transportation.
38. Adopted the best practice in waste management disposal by providing over 300B worth of Waste Evacuation Trucks.
39. In 2015 Anambra was adjudged as the least indebted state in the federation by Debt Management Office. This was due to his judicious use of resources coming to the state and not put burden on the unborn Anambra people.


Meanwhile on the issue of IGR attached:
IGR increase is not an achievement Mr. Man. Any tom, dick and harry can increase tax rate. True leadership is optimal utilisation of limited state resources. People are voted to manage resources and curb waste in governance not to come and increase tax burdens on Nigerians. It is a good thing when government reduces tax and that is why you hear tax holiday in advanced democracies, which make more money available for the citizens to spend and thereby boost the country GDP. So for Obi not placed tax burden on his people is a plus. But he was able to manage the meager resources coming to the state and still saved money. If all tinubu can offer is to come and increase tax burden on people, then he has nothing to offer because Nigerians need relief and not suffering any more because the take home salary cannot even take home again.
What government need is to create an enabling environment that can make business thrive, by providing security, good roads and electricity which in turn will help the government to generate more revenue than taxing unnecessarily.
When there are many industries, there will be competition and price of goods and services will literally come down.
Very ridiculous that today in Lagos with the kind of economy headache in the country, Lagos government went taxing people of where they park their cars in the same land they bought and houses they built. Virtually everything are taxed just to generate revenue in this economic crutch.

Mr. Man, if you had keenly watched the interview as you've said, you would have known that he was not there to reel out Tinubu's achievements but was asked about performance of the 4 contestants in their capacity to manage the state they governed for 8 years.
If you have listened keenly when Seun wanted to downplay the performance of Peter Obi, Prof. Pat Utomi interjected, saying someone that have managed a successful business and rose to become chairman of reputable bank cannot be looked down on and he went further to let him know the investment of Peter Obi in education that lifted Anambra from number 26 to 1 in the country within 3 years and he was to start Peter Obi exploit in health when Seun interjected again.
On the issue of Buba Marwa administering Borno to success or not to success and him becoming a super star in Lagos. I expected you to have taken time to reel out some of his exploits in Borno to counter him because at least some of us and Prof. Pat Utomi have grown up enough to know what Buba Marwa did in Lagos. Till date Keke Marwa is still an household name in Lagos and till tomorrow, that's one of his legacy that no one can erase.
Lagos state has been a work in progress and a healthy state from time memorial and never a jungle or non performing state as many of you want us to believe before Tinubu. As at 1999 same state have been generating IGR worth 1.2b, the highest in the federation. Such state cannot be said to be a poor or jungle state.

39. In 2015 Anambra was adjudged as the least indebted state in the federation by Debt Management Office. This was due to his judicious use of resources coming to the state and not put burden on the unborn Anambra people.


Meanwhile on the issue of IGR attached:
IGR increase is not an achievement Mr. Man. Any tom, dick and harry can increase tax rate. True leadership is optimal utilisation of limited state resources. People are voted to manage resources and curb waste in governance not to come and increase tax burdens on Nigerians. It is a good thing when government reduces tax and that is why you hear tax holiday in advanced democracies, which make more money available for the citizens to spend and thereby boost the country GDP. So for Obi not placed tax burden on his people is a plus. But he was able to manage the meager resources coming to the state and still saved money. If all tinubu can offer is to come and increase tax burden on people, then he has nothing to offer because Nigerians need relief and not suffering any more because the take home salary cannot even take home again.
What government need is to create an enabling environment that can make business thrive, by providing security, good roads and electricity which in turn will help the government to generate more revenue than taxing unnecessarily.
When there are many industries, there will be competition and price of goods and services will literally come down.
Very ridiculous that today in Lagos with the kind of economy headache in the country, Lagos government went taxing people of where they park their cars in the same land they bought and houses they built. Virtually everything are taxed just to generate revenue in this economic crutch.




Save those lies for your kids, i was already writing university exams when Peter obi became a govetnor, look for small small children to full engaging you further is fruitless.

lagosian are shouting Tinubu made Lagos why are Anamba people relunctant to idiolize Peter obi. 2023 we shall see
