What stage has been won, the same day @SamuelOgundipe was arrested by SARS and is still in detention? No, we haven't won any stage. It's just PR and you're getting caught in it.#FreeSamuelOgundipe
I don't know if it's divide and conquer at this stage, what exactly is the difference between this announcement by the VP and the previous ones? Why are we lapping it up this time, nothing happened the last time the President (Via the Same VP) announced an "Overhaul"...
Nothing happened when the IG ordered the "reorganization" of SARS. When did the demand change from #EndSARS. Why are we accepting a sheet of paper as some sort of victory?
These people did not even care about the optics when they arrested @SamuelOgundipe with the same Police Unit on the same day, meanwhile activists are calling it a victory? Do we want to sacrifice Samuel on the alter of political correctness and fence mending? #FreeSamuelOgundipe

APC's final offer to Omisore.

Returned seized Passport with EFCC
Return seized houses with EFCC.
Repay campaign fund.

They are really desperate.
As I was saying yesterday, Omisore will be selfish to accept their offer because it will alienate his own camp. His people voted against APCs failure. Is he going to side with the Ajeles?
The Pictures with Governors of different states already shows what they have always said, Ajeles are taking over Osun and he'd be the biggest traitor to align with them

Interesting, ⁦@MBuhari⁩ must know that violence isn't the way to go. He defended the post elections violence in 2011, I hope he's going to accept defeat this time. dailypost.ng/2018/07/05/201…
The intimidation of the opposition started very early in his administration, it was expected as it is the same way he ruled Nigeria in the 80s. There's more opacity in Government and press Freedom is worse as DSS and the police keep arresting Journalists.
Other Journalists that haven't been arrested have been bought by Lai Muhammed, only recently a top journalist shared the story of how Lai Muhammed killed the stories on Boko Haram attacks by sharing cash to Journalists. Intimidation is the only other choice for journalists.

In all this PIGB talk. We shouldn't forget that it was the 8th Senate under @bukolasaraki that finally passed it after 17 years. Someone is ready for vital reforms. The President meanwhile is a stumbling block.
The President does not want to "whittle down" his power, Military men from Buhari's generation can never see Nigeria beyond the oil. This is why we should have avoided him and it's why we must vote him out for a much younger, credible candidate ready for reforms
Nigeria is more than the oil. The wealth is in the people. Human capacity development will create more wealth than oil. What is under the ground isn't wealth. We have to build the people!

Challenge Accepted. I have decided to Fact Check this thread full of outright lies, half truth and data misrepresentation. I will make 2013/2014 my base year for most of the comparative analysis so that we can know where we are coming from.

"Issa Thread" #DemocracyDay
Claim 1- Nigeria's GDP growth rate is back up after the recession of 2016-17. It's important to note that it is yet to get back to about 3% growth we had just before hand over with lower oil prices then (than we do today). Fail. 2014 Growth rate. Source: CBN.
Claim 2 -The @MBuhari Administration’s priority Sectors of Agriculture and Solid Minerals maintained consistent growth throughout the recession.

FALSE. This is the chart for Agriculture GDP during the recession Source: NBS.

So, Tinubu's new job is conflict resolution. We don't talk about this enough (because we don't want to seem like bigots, since we are revolutionary woke people) but sometimes we have to discuss ethnicity in Politics.
I want to ask my good friends that followed Tinubu into the alliance? What have you gained? What did the Yoruba nation gain in the unholy alliance of 2015? Is the Yoruba nation better positioned today?
You have been treated like second class citizens in the alliance as some of us predicted, the appointments and "real politik" passed you by, you don't have any real power, now you've lost the only thing you used to have, Your voice!
