I’m really angry. Not at Datti’s ridiculous comments; but at the ludicrous defence people are putting up

Go watch the full ducking interview. It’s even worse. Didn’t we agree that #EndSARS was our red line?

This is how I responded this morning to Wike’s endorsement of Sanwo-Olu
How did Datt respond?

By asking youths why they chose to protest SARS when there were more pressing issues like a falling Naira.

By saying there must be hidden political motives & actors he will one day uncover.

By playing semantic games over the murder of young Nigerians. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
To come on TV to say this today, of all days, even as youths were being tear-gassed in Lagos is wild to me.

I still can’t talk about that night without getting emotional; and some fucker is coming to ask why young people chose to protest against police brutality?

I dey go sleep

1. Getting ready for our @atiku mega rally in Benin City today, and my mind is still troubled by the @officialABAT manifesto I read yesterday.

I was going to let the public read and decide its value for themselves; but I have a few random thoughts I feel compelled to share. Image
2. First of all, presentation-wise, the document is SEXY as f*ck. Glossy, nice pictures and graphics, reads like a piece of great literature.

Get past the ephemeral allure of the manifesto; and you discover it is a painted sepulcher; a corpse with makeup applied by a mortician. Image
3. State Police.

Doesn’t exist. No wonder Shettima was shouting “to hell with restructuring” up & down. The doc details the ‘tactics’ of fighting terrorism; but fails to commit to the creation of state police

A neo-feudalist, BAT’s reluctance to empower states is understandable Image

A few random but serious thoughts as they concern the 2023 General Elections. It'll be a long thread but please bear with me.

1. The BVAS System.

Most people think the new Electoral Act compels @inecnigeria to use BVAS for the biometric accreditation of voters. That's a lie.
2. What the EA says in sections 47, 60, 61 & 62 is that a smart card reader or tech device will be used to accredit voters; then results transmitted according to guidelines set by INEC.

Nowhere in the ENTIRE EA are the words 'biometric' or BVAS used. Even e-tranmission no dey. ImageImage
3. So while the current Chairman has committed to using BVAS; if he is removed a new pro-government Chairman may decide to use the old smart card readers which 'successfully' accredited voters in 2015 and 2019.

This is why the CUPP warning must be taken seriously.

First of, it’s necessary to declare my bias. @AnthonyEhilebo na family member; so there’s that.

I agree with most of what he said. I’ve gone through his tweets and his responses, and I think people are mining outrage where none should exist.

In fact I WANT IPOB to adopt Obi.
I’ve always said Nigeria should be fairer to Igbos. I think the SE should be able to produce a president (see my pinned tweet).

But I’ve also ALWAYS said that the right to self-determination is a constitutional one; and that a referendum should be included in our constitution.
The emergence of the Biafran agitation is in part a symptom of the failure of the Nigerian state to give hope to Igbos.

What @PeterObi has done - to many disillusioned youths and Igbos/Biafrans who had given up on Nigeria - is give them renewed hope in NIGERIA.

That’s amazing!

Are y’all ready for an HONEST deep dive into the @atiku interview?

It’ll be long o! @abati1990 and @TundunAbiola kept peppering him with questions.

Let’s go! Image
First of all, it wasn’t live

It appears to have been recorded at the Candidate’s residence.

I prefer live interviews bcos you get to see the candidate think on their seats; but I’m happy with this bcos there were no ‘content-edits’ so what you see is what was said.

#AtikuArise Image
First question from Abati is on the messy VP selection process. Atiku, exuding confidence & composure, takes us through the process & calls on his right to select his VP.

He admits s there is an internal crisis but states that talks are ongoing with Wike & his men to resolve it.

@atiku: The Man Who Saw Tomorrow

1. In 2019, shortly after the presidential election the Supreme Court said he lost to Buhari, Atiku warned about the consequences of our doubling debt and the burden it would place on future generations

2. In 2020 @atiku again warned that debt-to-revenue had reached 99% & that again this voracious appetite for debt would bankrupt the nation and put future generations in financial jeopardy.

He advised the Govt on how to exit this debt trap but they sent Lai Moh’d to attack him.
Today, just like he predicted, debt servicing has finally surpassed Govt revenues.

Yet @atiku continues to proffer solutions out of this crisis: reduce Govt size; create a private sector led infrastructure debt fund; divest from unprofitable businesses; create new markets…

2. How was a question about the need for police reform and state police answered by Baba gloating about how he sent @seyiamakinde packing and instead said the solution to our security problems was a return to the empowerment of traditional/local leaders.

Like…how, Oga?
3. In case you did not hear well, Baba repeated it for the ones at the back:

APC is not going to give you state police.

As Baba start to yarn opps, @seunokin sharply change topic! 😂😂😂
4a. Ignorant.

On the appt of Dr. Doyin Salami, the president recalls being briefed by his new economic adviser that only 2.5% of Nigeria’s arable land is cultivated

That’s a lie.

2.5% is irrigated.

Yet he has based his ENTIRE economic recovery plan on this lie!
