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...

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

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...

@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....

@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.

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. Image 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.....

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!

From his interview on @ARISEtv today, it is clear, is it not, tha @PeterObi is ready to lead Nigeria out of the disgraceful quagmire that Buhari, promoted by both @atiku & @officialABAT has dragged Nigeria into in the last 7 years. Only a lack of shame is driving their ambition. Only a man who is TRULY INTERESTED in making a positive change does the kind of research @PeterObi does. I was mind-blown when he was fact-checked on the length of the Nile, the Niger and Benue rivers. Let every Nigerian, Yoruba, Hausa, Edo,Jukun, Kuteb, Angas, Efik, Annang.....

Jandor was at my home a few months ago, seeking my support, having "won" the PDP ticket. I asked for his manifesto, & his answer was, "we will build the Lagos of our dreams". Asked to define that, he said "a Lagos where Lagosians will be in charge of their commonwealth". Prodded further, he had NOTHING ELSE! Asked for his manifesto, he retorted that a teammwete still writing it! I, Babatunde Gbadamosi, should come & join his team of "teknorats", to help write his manifesto.

How am I expected to line up behind such a dunce?

The Àgbàdo crew keep boasting about Baba Alagbado's "increase" of Lagos' IGR. He never used it to provide the basic utilities that would have improved Lagosiabs' lives immensely. If he had lit up just 8 out of the 20 LGAs, provided water & fixed the roads & drains, Lagos would... ...be vastly different. We would definitely not be consistently on the list of the world's most unliveable cities, with cities like Kabul, Afghanistan, doing better than Lagos! Oh, the shame!😭😭
