What I saw at Chatham House was a joke. It felt like a scene from Shanta Bandle’s comedy. That was a disgrace to Nigeria! Let's call a spade a spade!

- Rufai of Arise TV is unassailable!

Dr. Reuben Abati got me in stitches this morning! He said, "my friend, its called CHEATING!" 🤣🤣🤣
There's a difference between a shadow cabinet and political campaign surrogates. - Rufai.
Did you all see how Emmanuel Efeni was subtly adding more petrol to the fire? 🔥🔥🔥 He said he now understands why Tinubu would never come for the Arise TV townhall! 😋

THIS IS A LOOSE TRANSCRIPT OF PETER OBI'S ENGAGEMENT WITH NORTH EAST STAKEHOLDERS:

1. What Datti and I are promising you is that we have the best combination and the best experience to start tackling all the issues including security. Hold us responsible. It can be done quickly. Image
2. We want to see Nigerians proud of their country again. We want to move Nigeria from consumption to production & start pulling people out of poverty. All of us will tell you good stories but who can you trust? All we want is an opportunity to faithfully serve this country.
3. An opportunity to show the North that the oil in Nigeria is in the North. The vast uncultivated lands we have in the North is our future; and that is what is keeping us from growing; people are hungry. Borno state alone can feed Nigeria! It is twice bigger than Netherlands,

1. Peter Obi engaged North East Stakeholders yesterday and as a true business leader, he came with facts and figures. He didn't just talk, he SHOWED THEM THE MONEY. It was an intense, soulful and thought-provoking session.

I will return Nigeria to fiscal viability. I will stop corruption and I will end criminal fuel subsidy.

- Peter Obi to North East Stakeholders
If you see any land I assigned to myself or directly or indirectly to my family, as governor of Anambra State, I will stop campaigning. Even my Speaker wanted the State to build me houses in Abuja, Anambra etc and I rejected them.
- Peter Obi to North East Stakeholders.

If you're not following @FinPlanKaluAja1 please do so. On financial policy matters, he's stellar. I followed his convos with Tolu Ogunlesi who's been trying to attack the #ObiDattiManifesto plan for education; enlightening.

Here's a summary but 1st, watch this Peter Obi's clip.
The #ObiDatti023 plan for funding education is to remove many of the road blocks that exist in funding & enlarge the pool of funds that companies can give to fund tertiary education.

Currently, TETFUND collects 2% of revenue to allocate to schools. This is grossly inadequate but
The Labour Party plan is that in addition to the 2% to TETFUND, companies can directly fund tertiary institutions and claim the monies back as tax credit. Thus, if Okeke, Ojo & Aminu Ltd funds a research project at UNILAG for N5 million, govt deducts N5m from their payable tax.

"It's not our problem if you're unmarried. We want to marry second wives." Another Gambian senator defends the proposed increase in the salaries of members of The Gambian National Assembly.

This happened after Touma Njai spoke fearlessly to her colleagues against the increment.
Touma Njai, who represents the Banjul South Constituency in the National Assembly of The Gambia, voiced her disapproval over the bloated govt structures and the proposed increases in salaries while education & health for the children are underfunded.
Of course, everyone would be thrilled to receive a 100% increment in salaries, but this should be guided by reasonableness. They actually cut away support for school kids to make room for their salaries!

Gambia is a metaphor for Nigeria. In Nigeria, nobody even asks questions 😒

Days after Innoson (IVM) exported Made-in-Nigeria cars to Sierra Leone worth $4.7 million, a member of APC's PCC has been attacking the Nigerian firm unprovoked🤷🏽‍♀️

Is disparaging an audacious & viable firm like IVM how APC plans to grow the economy? The pulldown syndrome is ugly.
All around Lekki in Lagos, you see those keke cars made by a Japanese company, Suzuki used for UberGo. I rode in one a few weeks ago and I was enthralled with the petiteness. Innoson can make all these as a matter of national pride, but bigotry & the old Igbo hate becloud them.
Well, in a simple response, IVM asked the guy: who's your daddy?🤦🏽‍♀️

This was an intended harm gone bad; Innoson turned it to an Ad👏🏽

Lastly, APC should face their myriads of problems like identity theft, perjury, drug crimes etc. The diversionary tactics are flat & unimpressive.

Arewa will shock us all in 2023! My gatemen, wheelbarrow pusher & my Arewa foodstuff sellers all have smartphones. They are on tiktok. They see things!

Those who banked on "90% of Northerners are not online" will be shocked. I've discussed with many of them & seen them change --
--from a sly "I no know," "Atiku" or "my brother go tell me who I go vote for" to:

a shy, "Atiku or Pitobi, I no know"

and most recently, "Haba! Na Peter Obi nau. Labour Party."

Yes, we've come a long way on this journey. 88 days to the elections, multiply your efforts x 10.
I remember joining super volunteers for an evangelism for Peter Obi in July or Aug. With another lady named Stella, I spoke to a group of Northern men & asked them who they'd vote for. They laughed at us in derision, "una dey ask person wey e name na Abdullahi who e go vote for?"
