We want the younger ones to know that this is a virtue and not a vice. Nigerians must not allow a stranger, an anonymous man with no record to control the destiny of over 200 million people.” Rather than tell the truth, his Campaign Spokesman, Festus Keyamo, shamelessly stated on Arise Television that Tinubu did not attend primary or secondary school and should thus be commended for beating the odds. “In the Second Republic, such names as Bisi Onabanjo, Bola Ige, Bisi Akande and many more from the Southwest region are brand names of great political icons. Paul’s School, Aroloya and Government College Ibadan but his credentials were soon challenged by the late legendary lawyer, Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN) even as it had been established that Tinubu had no classmates in primary or secondary school. The author claimed anyone whose name was not listed in the book was not an authentic member of the Tinubu family.

Bola Tinubu's failure to come clean on his true identity has continued to dominate political fireworks ahead of Nigeria's general elections in February.

Nigerians can't forget your roles in sacking PDP - APC tells Atiku ... (Pulse Nigeria)

The APC said the PDP had no moral right to campaign for votes from Nigerians due to their atrocious record of performance over a 16-year period.

“Alhaji Atiku blamed the APC for the emergence of Boko Haram, forgetting that the insurgents emerged in 2009 under his party’s watch. “Atiku has now been joined by Abubakar Saraki, the failed Senate President and saboteur-in-chief of the Buhari agenda, who in his latest comment in Ilorin, urged Nigerians to “go back to the PDP at both the state and the national levels. The image maker accused the PDP and its Presidential candidate, Atiku of playing on the seeming forgetfulness of Nigerians and insulting the collective intelligence of the masses.

The PDP promised the South East states and Ifeanyi Okowa’s Delta state that it would do the bridge. He awarded it all over again and in record time the 1.6 kilometres long bridge is ready.” Despite the challenges faced on the economic front, among which is dwindling revenue exacerbated by oil theft, the government has been able to showcase many game changing projects. “Alhaji Atiku blamed the APC for the emergence of Boko Haram, forgetting that the insurgents emerged in 2009 under his party’s watch. In the famous words of Dino Melaye, we say “PDP: God forbid ”. “Let us not forget that the party of looters nurtured the conditions that led to the emergence of Boko Haram on our soil and it was so clueless about how to deal with the menace as our cities and people were bombed and maimed by Boko Haram terrorists.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday engaged in a war of words over the alleged poor performance of the ...

“So, the people of the Imo state and the South-east have no reason not to vote for the PDP. In his remarks, the vice presidential candidate of the PDP, and Governor of Delta State, Dr. “Just like the entire South-east is yearning for restructuring of Nigeria, once I am elected I will sit down with you and work with the National Assembly on the restructuring of Nigeria. In a statement by the Spokesperson of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr. “Atiku said he will bring $10 billion to support small businesses. In a statement issued yesterday in Abuja, the Director of Media and Publicity of the APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Mr. I am convinced Atiku will win this election. In the famous words of Dino Melaye, we say ‘PDP: God forbid’. I like that; I don’t feel like leaving you,” he added. Once I am elected I will inject $10 billion into small businesses in Igboland. But in a swift reaction, the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council has dismissed what it described as the attempt by the Tinubu/ Shettima Campaign Council to compare the prosperous years of the PDP to the famished years of the APC in office as a further confirmation that the APC is plagued by a lying spirit. While the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council asked the presidential candidate of the APC, Senator Bola Tinubu to show remorse and apologise for the poor performance of the APC, the ruling party condemned what it described as the attempts by the opposition party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar to de-market its achievements, stressing that Nigerians won’t give in to their lies.

The answers Atiku Abubakar gave, By Sam Akpe (Premium Times)

Atiku, just like other Nigerians expressed shock that with all the human and material resources committed into fighting Boko Haram.

A lot of politics and business could be traced to it, but that with the right leadership, it could be handled. Yes, he condemned the act in a public statement, but why did he delete his initial tweets which condemned that killing? But all the same, he is still waiting for Wike to get back to him with a response. I mean in every great country in this (world), you find that private sector is the driver of the economy.” From my observation, throughout the session, Atiku did not mention any of his political opponents in the race to the Villa. He did not disclose whether he bought Wike’s flight ticket to the UK or they flew in his private jet. Under normal circumstances, he should have been applauded for fighting for the rule of law and moral equity, but this has not happened. One interesting aspect of that interview was when he answered a question on Wike. Another question and the answer were: we have already dealt with that in my Covenant With Nigerians. His answer, “I will direct the Central Bank to stop multiple exchanges so that we close the gap.” Just like that? That alone is enough to melt any political rock in the mould of Atiku. But the man made it look so simple when the question was put to him on how he would stop shortage of foreign exchange…

Atiku plans to end petrol subsidy in first 100 days (Businessday.ng)

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar says he will remove the controversial petrol subsidy...

He said he planned to form a government of national unity that would include opposition politicians. Some $10 billion would be allocated to small and medium-sized enterprises to create jobs, money he claimed would be raised by the privatisation of state-owned refineries and savings from fuel subsidies. But these promises have failed to spur confidence because even Muhammadu Buhari said in 2014 that subsidy payments were fraudulent, won elections and continued paying. He is also considering introducing state policing, a departure from Nigeria’s centralised force. Nigeria recorded N16 trillion from crude oil sales between January to September, according to government data, but nothing often gets saved. Attempts at privatising the state-owned Nigerian National Petroleum Company, whose shares are owned by the federal government, were muddled, he said.
