There are discrepancies. What we passed is not what the President signed. This is not something that can be buried. You cannot build on disputed ground,
I reject the arguments suggesting that controversial sections of the law could simply be ignored or selectively implemented.
Once a bill is passed by the legislature and signed into law, no authority has the right to alter it unilaterally.
Laws are not implemented discretionarily. Once you pass a law, you have no right to add to it or remove from it. These things show that Nigerians are being taken lightly,
Nigerians are not against tax. The problem is trust. The system has lost public confidence, yet taxes are being imposed arrogantly without proper explanation. The President is a servant of the people; Nigerians are not servants of the President,”
The rising discontent in Northern Nigeria could have significant implications for the 2027 general elections if left unaddressed.
Anybody who tells you that the North is not grumbling is not speaking the truth. And that grumbling will be loud in their votes if nothing is done,
Declaring victory will not work. You only win when the people accept you. If things don’t change, how can you expect people to vote for you?”
The President can change things and turn things around. Nigerians are forgiving people. If security improves and people can travel freely without fear, Nigerians will have no reason to change leadership
The President is not the problem. The people around him are the problem. Many capable people have been sidelined, and decisions are being taken by people who don’t understand Nigeria. Some of what they do is embarrassing to the President and to the country
Public patience has limits, dissatisfaction, if ignored, could manifest in various forms.
If things remain the way they are and people are unhappy, resistance may come through votes, political realignment, or other means. We have seen it before, even in other countries,
