Kwankwaso and the NDC in the North should work harder towards dismantling the Religious/tribal card the APC will employ, if Atiku isn't on the ballot (I pray he succeeds). That's the weapon they'll employ now, because the extremists have BAT as 2nd choice after Atiku.

You people want Muslims to vote for Peter Obi but you’re fuming that two Muslims were elected out of the literal hundreds of people who were voted into positions of power. Practically saying that Muslims have every right to reject Obi for not sharing their faith. Dumb ass. 😭

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE OUR DIVERSITY A RECIPE FOR PROSPERITY - PRESIDENT TINUBU SAYS AS HE HOSTS NIGERIAN DELEGATION TO DINNER IN MAKKAH President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has beseeched Almighty Allah to transform Nigeria’s rich diversity into a source of prosperity, unity, peace and sustainable development for the benefit of all Nigerians. President Tinubu offered the prayer on Sunday in the holy city of Makkah, Saudi Arabia, while hosting members of his delegation for dinner. The President expressed the hope that Nigeria’s ethnic, religious, and cultural diversity would continue to serve as a source of strength and national advancement rather than division, stressing the need for citizens to embrace mutual understanding, peaceful coexistence and a shared commitment to the country’s progress. He prayed that Almighty Allah would bless Nigeria with enduring peace, harmony and prosperity, and grant the nation’s leaders the wisdom, courage and foresight to steer the country towards greater development and improved living conditions for its people. "May Almighty Allah bless Nigeria, convert our diversity into prosperity as a country," the President said. President Tinubu also prayed for divine guidance and protection for Nigerians at home and abroad, asking Allah to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood among citizens and inspire a renewed spirit of patriotism, compassion and service to the nation. The President noted that Nigeria’s abundant human and natural resources, coupled with the talents, creativity and enterprise of its diverse population, provided a strong foundation for building a prosperous and inclusive nation. The dinner with members of his delegation in Makkah provided an opportunity for fellowship and reflection on Nigerians' shared aspirations for a peaceful, united and prosperous country.

"Today is actually the third dinner we're having with His Excellency Mr President since we came to Makkah on Thursday night or Friday morning when Mr President arrived. "So, we discussed, and the discussion was, you know, to always continue to pray for Nigeria, for peace, for unity and for Nigeria's prosperity. To again, you know, thank His Excellency for his passion, for what he's doing for Nigeria. "And also for us, it's quite important because, as I said, it has given us the opportunity to come and pray not only for ourselves and our families, but also for Nigeria. "We will continue to support His Excellency in whatever capacity we can and definitely, as you all know, Mr President is very passionate about the country. He's working very hard, and we'll continue to support him," he said.

One of my biggest enigmas is how even some of the so-called elites fail to understand that we have a scarcity problem. Once upon a time, a local journalist who could potentially interview governorship candidates in his state and hold them to account, expressed concern about why the Federal Government could not single-handedly raise $20 billion to build a refinery instead of waiting for Dangote to own one privately. During the live conversation, the supposed journalist went further to argue that the (few) millions of dollars recovered by our anti-graft agencies were a testament to how much money Nigeria could raise. I reminded him that these recoveries amounted to a few tens or, at most, hundreds of millions of dollars—barely a fraction of the billions required to build the refinery. And even this is a record recovery, not a guaranteed minimum that can be relied upon for such massive project. The refinery project cost billions, not a few hundred million dollars. I also reminded him, and the echo chamber he was performing for, that governments have several competing priorities at any given time. This creates opportunity costs and diminishes the amount of money available for any single project, regardless of how substantial that amount might appear to an individual. I later returned to explain that even if the government stopped paying the armed forces, funding our embassies, provisioning for emergencies and paying civil servants, raising $20 billion would still be an impractical proposition, all things being equal. He lost me along the way, and the conversation eventually reverted to the usual blame game instead of engaging with the question of empirical possibility. A few weeks later, we disagreed again over certain concepts of institutional governance. I quietly exited and stopped investing my energy in engaging someone who clearly needed more foundational grounding than another argument. One thing we must appreciate is that public policy discussions require more than outrage and political opinions. They require an understanding of scarcity, opportunity cost, competing priorities, and institutional constraints.
