I worked for Waziri Atiku Abubakar to win. I pray he unseats Tinubu at the Presidential Election Petition Court. And I am not pursuing any political appointment, or job offer from Tinubu. However, it is false to assert that Bola Tinubu did not attend Chicago State University. I went there physically. I did a video broadcast from their campus. I met their officials. Tinubu attended and graduated Chicago State University with honours, and they even have a photo of him in their alumni office as one of their most accomplished alumni. Not only did I go there physically to expose…

By Dr. Sunny Oby Maduka (DSM) “For the fact that an armed robber, a rogue or a drug baron is a well-known philanthropist, doesn’t make the person a morality standard to be proud of, or sheepishly promoted or followed.” – DSM Unfortunately in Nigeria, people don’t think about the consequences of character flaws in their supposedly oppressive philanthropist’s governance policies, and as such, are easily deceived by an early CHEESE GAME of some tricky politicians. These character deformed politicians capitalise on the citizens’ poverty and gullibility to make anti-masses policies. They will start a new regime with flashes of good…
Byabiodun KOMOLAFE Without doubt, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s greatest inner gift is the uncanny ability to deploy native intelligence. Some people rarely talk about it because they didn’t see it coming! Of course, that’s why people didn’t see him coming! Not even the former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Maybe that’s why ‘Balogun Owu’ keeps fighting him like a wounded cobra. The most brilliant asset that Tinubu represents to Nigeria lies in his antecedents in government and public administration. His pattern creation is legendary. His management and structure sustenance is remarkable. Nigerians are therefore assured that if he flows from what used…
