They have been successfully lying against Northerners for decades. Now it's clear that MAJORITY Northerners want the same things as Southerners. Human needs are universal. A few twisted religious tyrants are not enough to stop the people from getting what they want in 2023.
It has taken the candidacy of a committed pair like @PeterObi & Yussuf Datti Baba-Ahmed to finally unveil who Northerners truly are - human beings with feelings, needs, hopes & aspirations, not the religiously blinded automatons that certain Northern leaders have had us believe
since before independence. We now understand why they let in their militia. We now know that it was not just about resources or politics. It was deeper & larger. It was about total subjugation of the majority by a malevolent, bloodthirsty minority. The people of Nigeria must do..
.. everything possible to break the mould in these 2023 elections. #ObiDatti2023 is not just about the Presidency. It is about our liberty. It is about our right to our very lives. It is existential. Northerners appear to recognise that far more starkly than Southerners,...
...hence the unbelievable crowds that have thronged EVERY LP rally in the North since the campaigns began, such that certain Northern States are now clearly in the running for the Most Obidient States. Adamawa was an absolute blinder. Today is for Sokoto. #VoteLP #ObiDatti2023

If ANYTHING happens to ANY Igbo person ANYWHERE in Yorubaland during or after the elections, especially after Bola Ahmed Tinubu loses, @OfficialAPCNg, Tinubu AND all his known associates, all members of his family must be made to face justice. The anti-Igbo rhetoric in the APC...
..is reaching xenophobic levels, and decent Yorubas will defend the Igbos on our soil with our lives. Bola Tinubu & his army of gangsters must not be allowed to turn ANY PART of Yorubaland into any type of killing field. We now understand why he chose Shettima as his running...
...mate. During the Civil War, Yorubas looked after their Igbo neighbours' homes and properties, & returned them mostly intact, unlike elsewhere, even in Eastern Nigeria. Every episode of harassment of any non-Yoruba group in Lagos since 1999 has had Bola Tinubu's imprimatur....
My participation in the @theplatformng Lagos state Gubernatorial debate propelled a few crucial issues, like the Alpha Beta scandal, the Blue Line Scandal & the crippling infrastructure deficit that has the average Lagos commute time at more than 7 hours daily. If @theplatformng
....had bowed to political pressure from the APC at the time to not invite me, the world would never have heard of the Blue Line Scandal, the Alphabeta scandal &; others, even though all were being done OPENLY. Dapo Apara might not have found the courage to challenge Tinubu...
...openly about it's ownership in court, & the Blue Line would have remained abandoned. My presence forced these issues into the open & now we know that Alpha Beta doesn't pay tax, the Blue Line is just another feeding trough for corrupt politicians & why Lagos State has.....
@ChathamHouse When I questioned Mahmood Yakubu's academic qualifications & his sincerity a few weeks ago, it appeared extreme. With the tribunal decision on the Osun State elections, with particular regard to alleged over-voting, how are we now to trust ANYTHING Yakubu says?
The man got hundreds of billions for the elections & went to buy "tech" that fell off the back of a jalopy. I have been saying for years that a simple chip & pin card, with registration, printing & issuance done through the banks, cross-referencing the BVN database would have....
...been a more efficient, effective & economical way to administer the elections. Unfortunately, this is Buharism at its finest, & Mahmood Yakubu would be remiss if he didn't recklessly waste public funds on idiocy like his profligate boss, Buhari. It is clear that @inecnigeria,.
@PeterObi's investment of Anambra State funds in SABMiller is a commendable but not unique idea. Brigadier Mobolaji Johnson, on the advice of my Uncle, invested in 10% of Julius Berger shares, & 10% of Cappa & D'Alberto. He also invested in Eko Holiday Inn, now known as Eko Hotel
"Tinubu" met all these investments intact in 1999. He started an investigation of Abacha's sale of shares in Eko Hotel to the Chaghourys in 1999, but the result of the enquiry never came out. The fate of the late General Johnson's investments in Cappa & D'Alberto & JB is unknown.
Lekki-Epe Expressway was built by Alhaji Lateef Jakande of blessed memory, the best Governor Lagos State has had till date, & the original Action Governor. "Tinubu" "concessioned" it to companies in which he is said to have controlling interests, gave them 1,500 hectares of land
Some years ago, @officialABAT apparently spilled his guts to American diplomats in Nigeria about his unflattering opinion of @MBuhari
He called him "an agent of destabilisation", among many other apparently accurate epithets, with the benefit of the hindsight.
A THREAD.
How then did Tinubu arrive at the conclusion, sometime after making that statement, that Buhari was suddenly the best man tonrule Nigeria? It is my opinion that as early as 2006, when Tinubu was leaving office as Governor, with all he had gotten away with, the possibility.....
....of him actually becoming "Prezzdent" of Nigeria began to look more & more realistic to him.
He did his sums a few years later & realised that Buhari's voting numbers appeared consistent across the North, election after election, & concluded that adding the Southwest....
Running and hiding from the thugs and political militia is no longer an option. It has not worked in the past. Every Obidient who is either an ex-policeman or ex-serviceman must help organise self-defence units all over the country. Every person of fighting age must learn.....
....to fight, because our future is at stake here. EVERYONE must become a fighter to some level. We must all take our fitness seriously and do some exercise daily like we will fight the following day. If attacked, defend yourself and your neighbours ferociously. No dey look face!
Learn a fighting skill. Learn to use one weapon or the other. If na gun you see, learn to shoot sharply. If na knife, cutlass, bow & arrow or spear, practice daily and meet violence with violence. Do not run from them. Organise, train daily. Learn defensive & offensive tactics.
