It is not only unconstitutional but damn right immoral to endorse any sitting governor or president “as the sole candidate” of a political party for an election. When the endorsement was done before the president reaches half way of his tenure in office, it not only undermines the political process but it is illogical. And when the endorsement was for the president only, while both the President and the Vice President were elected and serving on joint ticket, the endorsement of the president alone without his vice, is illegal. Quote me any where! With or without endorsement, it is only...

Postponing a Funeral Doesn’t Raise the Dead: The Jonathan Lesson and Tinubu’s Blind March
No president in Nigeria’s history received more public endorsements for a second term than Goodluck Jonathan. Politicians across party lines, governors, senators, traditional rulers, religious leaders, billionaire businessmen, and over 10,000 well-funded support groups flooded the airwaves daily, confidently predicting his victory—some even before noon on election day. For Jonathan’s administration, money was never a constraint. Funds were recklessly thrown at anyone who showed the slightest support—so much so that merely greeting “Mama Peace” with a “Good morning” could attract largesse. A month to the February 2015 elections, the Jonathan government secretly commissioned an international poll expert to predict the...
The port in which the Nigerian government has invested the most money is Onne Port, not Lagos Port. Onne has seen twice the investment that Lagos Port has witnessed. Please fact-check me.
So, nobody should say that Lagos is only great because it has a port. Oyo State does not have a port, and Oyo is farther away from any port than any other Southern state. Yet, Oyo state generates more VAT revenue for Nigeria than the entire Northwest, Northeast, and North-Central and three times what the entire Southeast contributes combined. And how is Oyo State achieving this? Through agriculture. So, no state or region should complain that it does not have a port, and that is why it is not doing as well as it could economically, especially when it is...
