  “Peter Obi had many things going for him when Ikemba took him under his wings. He was young and rich and deceptively humble. Although it was obvious from a mile that he was neither brilliant nor intellectual and could not by any means be termed cerebral, Peter Obi’s native intelligence seemed just enough at the time.” PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS ...

  “How can a country defined by these pernicious tendencies and factors become a saner clime or an advanced country or a part of the developed world? Nigeria is a country where there is a disconcerting dearth of responsibility on the part of public servants, and there are no consequences for bad behaviours both in the public and private space” ...

  “Beyond the unjust suspension, what is even more disgraceful is the rash of hired protesters in both Abuja and Akwa Ibom, clearly orchestrated to malign her. These so-called protests are glaringly artificial, a poorly executed charade that insults the intelligence of Nigerians. It is evident to the world that these are not spontaneous expressions of public sentiment but paid ...

  “Abacha took power in 1993 not to ruin Nigeria, but to steady it. Economically, he grew reserves from $494 million to $9.6 billion and cut debt from $36 billion to $27 billion, all with oil at $15 a barrel. Inflation fell from 54% to 8.5%. He built roads in Lagos, Kano, and beyond, delivering what you only promised. You ...

  “Three years ago, Ekiti State enacted the Criminal Law of Ekiti State, no. 12 of 2021, which repealed and replaced the state’s pre-existing Criminal Code Law of 2012. Comprising nine parts, 429 sections and 140 pages, Ekiti State’s Criminal Law of 2021 does not include the crime of Criminal libel or defamation” PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | DECEMBER 11, 2024 ...

  “Atiku supports the protest from Dubai, so does Peter Obi from ‘not Anambra’. Which one of you actually won the election if it was not Tinubu? And, would any of these two men have done better, knowing that they both supported the removal of subsidy on oil as does the sitting President which is the reason why we are ...

  “I hope something glaringly obvious and realistically remarkable will be officially done to assuage the current hurts and hard feelings of neglect of the peasant farmers in the North, who are the most overlooked and negatively frustrated while political opportunists seem to have a field day of pomp and pageantry…” PEGASUS REPORTERS, LAGOS | JULY 28, 2024 That the ...
