“Bola Didn’t Make Himself President; We Did” — Osoba Urges Forgiveness for Tinubu
Former Ogun State governor Olusegun Osoba has urged Nigerians to overlook President Bola Tinubu’s shortcomings as he embarks on his second term.
Speaking at the All Progressives Congress (APC) South West Zone Assembly meeting held in Lagos, Osoba expressed his belief in Tinubu’s capacity to improve and fulfill his promises to the nation.
Osoba emphasized that the Yoruba people stand firmly behind Tinubu’s presidency, asserting their confidence in his leadership.
He remarked, “The Yoruba community is united in support of Tinubu, and we believe he has what it takes to deliver on his commitments during his time in office.”
He further highlighted that it was the collective decision of Nigerians that brought Tinubu to power.
“Bola didn’t just become the President of Nigeria on his own; we made that choice together as a nation,” Osoba stated, reinforcing the idea that the president is accountable to the people who elected him.
The former governor’s comments reflect a strong sense of solidarity among the Yoruba people, as they rally around their leader, urging the public to remain hopeful and supportive as Tinubu settles into his role.
With a commitment to a better future, Osoba’s message seeks to foster unity and confidence in the government as it navigates the challenges ahead.
Politician and former President Olusegun Obasanjo speaks on Nigeria and shares that the possibility of Nigeria surviving another civil war is quite low.
He revealed that the issues that led to the Biafra War have not been resolved and that if another war breaks out, it will be much harder to resolve.
Reflecting on the civil war, he shared “The conditions that led to the Nigerian civil war years ago still remain unresolved.”
“I was involved in the civil war, but whenever people ask me about the Asaba massacre, I always tell them I cannot give details because Murtala Muhammed was responsible for operations in that area.”
Nigerian businessman Isaac Fayose pleads with the government and President Tinubu that the minimum wage needs to be increased.
He shared that the current minimum wage of ₦70,000 is not enough considering the current state of the country and urged the government to increase it to ₦200,000.
“President Tinubu, have mercy on our people and increase the minimum wage to ₦200,000 now. I don’t think anyone can survive on the current ₦70,000 minimum wage. ₦70,000 is nothing. If we don’t solve the minimum wage problem, we can’t solve crime.”
Human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju has faced backlash after suggesting that opposition figures, including Peter Obi, could contribute to President Tinubu’s chances of re-election if opposition votes remain divided.
He stated “If Tinubu gets re-elected in 2027, blame Peter Obi and the other contractor-general. With all the insecurity and kidnapping in the country, they are the ones aggressively working for his second term by ensuring opposition votes are divided like they did in 2023.”
His comments sparked criticism from many Nigerians, who argued that Peter Obi is not the only opposition figure and should not be solely blamed for political divisions.
