Bwala Says Nigeria Dodged a Bullet with Peter Obi’s 2023 Loss
In a recent post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), political commentator Bwala criticized former Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi’s recent public address. Bwala expressed concern over Obi’s delivery, stating it lacked factual substance and logical coherence, likening it to “a tinkling cymbal or a sounding brass.”
Bwala further remarked that Obi appears to have not moved past the disappointment of the 2023 presidential election defeat. He suggested that Obi’s current stance might be influenced by his perceived role in the opposition’s dynamics leading up to the 2027 elections.
Reflecting on Obi’s 2023 electoral journey, several factors have been identified as contributing to his loss. These include challenges in forming strategic alliances, particularly with northern political figures, and debates over his performance during his tenure as Anambra State Governor. Additionally, internal party disputes, such as allegations of financial mismanagement within the LP, have surfaced.
In the aftermath of the election, Obi’s campaign reportedly allocated substantial funds toward legal challenges against the election results. Aisha Yesufu, chair of the fundraising team, disclosed that approximately ₦744.5 million was spent on litigation, with total campaign income and expenses both nearing ₦1.4 billion.
Former Kaduna Central Senator Shehu Sani declines invitation to judge the Miss World Nigeria Beauty Pageant.
It was reported that the position of a judge was offered to Shehu Sani by Ben Murray Bruce, founder of Silverbird Group. However, Sani rejected the offer to judge the event.
Ben Bruce takes to social media to invite the former senator to be present at the event and sit as a judge.
Shebu Sani then responded by stating “You should have send me a formal letter and with full benefits attached to it after I have passed the Judgment. I appreciate the honour from a good friend. Unfortunately, I’ll be unavailable on that day. I wish you a successful outing.”
Nigerian Comedian, Mr Macaroni expresses dissatisfaction with the Governor of Lagos State over traffic issues.
It can be reported that Lagos has been suffering through a serious traffic phase. The reason behind this was revealed to be the Independence Bridge repairs.
Governor Sanwo Olu then pleaded with Lagosians to bear with the traffic as the repair is necessary. “Let’s think outside the box. If you don’t have business to do in Victoria Island in the next 2 to 3 weeks, conduct your business online and plan ahead.”
However, Mr Macaroni reacts to the Governor’s plea by stating “If the government had any regard whatsoever for the people of Lagos, these measures and more extensive ones would have been taken before yesterday to make this process as painless as possible for the people.”
He lamented on the serious effect that this traffic has taken on people’s day to day life and shared that the government didn’t consider its people.
Michelle Obama recently shared that when she first met Barack Obama, he wasn’t “financially sound.”
The couple crossed paths in 1988 when Barack joined a law firm in Chicago, where Michelle was already working. On a recent podcast episode she hosts with her brother, Craig, Michelle reflected on the importance of financial stability in a relationship.
During a conversation with British author Jay Shetty, Craig asked Michelle, “Would you be attracted to a guy who’s not financially stable when you meet him?”
Without hesitation, Michelle replied, “Uh, I married one.”
Craig, who seemed to have set her up for that response, laughed and jokingly said, “Don’t you like that alley-oop I just threw you? In basketball, you just point—you don’t even have to say it.”
