How Peter Obi Stopped a Road Rage and Saved Lives…
According to Dr Mo,
“About three months ago, Mr. Peter Obi visited Grimard College of Nursing Sciences in Anyigba and donated ₦10 million to support their programs. During that visit, Bishop Most Rev. Dr. Anthony Adaji shared with him the school's most pressing need for accreditation - a coaster bus. Mr. @PeterObi promised to assist, and today, he fulfilled that promise.
After an inspiring session with the students, where he offered words of encouragement, Mr. @PeterObi handed over the coaster bus. Additionally, he donated ₦5 million to cover registration, insurance, and other expenses for one year.
Mr. @PeterObi extended his heartfelt gratitude to the Proprietor, Management, and staff for their warm reception. He recognized their dedication to improving lives through education and healthcare and assured them of his continued support toward building a better Nigeria”.
ATIKU BERATES TINUBU for HARRASMENT and INTIMIDATION of INNOCENT CITIZENS..
In a tweeter post Atiku wrote:
The escalating assault on civil society and the media by the Bola Tinubu administration is profoundly disturbing. The level of oppressive control now imposed surpasses even the harshest days of military dictatorship.
The recent arrest of Mr. Joe Ajaero, President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, en route to an official event, epitomizes this regime's relentless campaign to intimidate and subdue organized labour.
Just days prior, security forces detained a journalist, only to later claim it was a grievous error. What if the outcome had been fatal?
Now, Tinubu’s regime extends its repressive grasp to encroach upon @SERAPNigeria, an action that stands as a grave affront to our democratic values. This siege is anathema to the principles of freedom and justice.
It is imperative that Tinubu and his security apparatus redirect their fervour and intimidation towards the actual perpetrators of violence — terrorists and bandits — who are inflicting immeasurable suffering upon the Nigerian people. -AA
The Verdict
Tinubu: No Place to Hide!
By Olusegun Adeniyi
To say that the administration of President Bola Tinubu is enmeshed in a crisis of credibility is to put the situation mildly. For a man who got to office with a statistically narrow mandate of 37 percent of total votes cast, many expected Tinubu to rise above himself in order to establish an enduring legacy. That expectation now appears misplaced. Even more worrisome is that despite being in a ditch, the president and his handlers continue to dig by displaying a behaviour the Yoruba would describe as “tani o mu mi”. As I once explained on this page, it is the kind of impunity that carries a certain sense of hubris, not only for the perpetrator(s) but also for the larger society.
It all began with a report in TheCable, which supplied the proof for what most already suspected or knew: The federal government has been spending trillions of Naira to pay for fuel subsidy even when officials continue to parrot the presidential deceit that “subsidy is gone.” Then, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar released a scathing statement that Nigeria “has been effectively mortgaged to President Bola Tinubu, his family, and associates,” citing how the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) allegedly put its retail arm under the control of OVH, which he claimed (it has been disputed by NNPC Ltd) is controlled by Wale Tinubu’s Oando.
These issues were still playing out when Nigerians got to know that a new presidential jet had been surreptitiously purchased by a government that has been doubling down on policies that make life difficult for the ordinary Nigerian. “The new plane, bought far below the market price, saves Nigeria huge maintenance and fuel costs, running into millions of dollars yearly,” was all the explanation from the villa, even when Nigerians still don’t know the cost of this plane and how it was acquired. And we probably would not have been informed about it had the
