TRENDING VIDEO: “Peter Obi for me is just another Buhari. You know how Buhari was so overrated that when he became president, everybody thought things would become better. That’s what I think Peter Obi is. He’s another guy who is an idealist not a realist.” — Sola Kuti, political analyst

"I was in South Africa for a wedding when the impeachment of Obasa commenced. I was confused when I returned. I saw my colleagues signing and I signed too thinking the order was from the presidency until the president called us to return the speaker which we did." — Desmond Elliot

“We were the ones who actually identified and reported the coup. I was the one who convened the committee that carried out the investigation. What we’re trying to do now is to show the junior ones that coups don’t pay. Democracy is far better than any military regime. I looked at the people who were involved, and I just shook my head because they’re just a bunch of confused individuals — very junior officials who didn’t know their left from their right.” — Defence minister Christopher Musa

“I have been very supportive of your administration. I have been loyal to you, (Usman Ododo), and Yahaya Bello. Why do you want to deny Kogi east the best representation ever? I have told everybody who cares to listen that I don't want to contest for governor. Since you're now out to fight me, that battle line has been drawn.” — Jibrin Echocho, senator representing Kogi east

“Qualification is a perspective; it depends on where you're coming from. Rabiu Kwankwaso said he's more qualified because he has a PhD; I don't have a PhD. Today, in the country, I would say he has some experience. He's been exposed; there's no doubt about that. I don't think his claim was wrong, but for what Nigeria needs today, Nigeria needs a wealth creator; it needs a wealth manager. I have built businesses from scratch into reputable businesses locally and internationally. In this context, nobody today, including the president, can claim to have passed through my experience.” — Peter Obi

“When Buhari came in, our borrowing was about N13 trillion; when he left, it was N87 trillion. Today, we’re hitting N200 trillion without anything to show for it. Subsidy has been removed in petroleum and power, and yet we have borrowed more. Our budgets are not financed. In the entire 2025 budget for capital projects, contractors are being owed.” — Peter Obi

“I’m very proud of what we export to Nigeria. We send you pharmaceuticals, bankers, services of all kinds and huge quantities of whiskey. And in return, you send us oil, gas, Nollywood movies, brilliant doctors, nurses, tech geniuses. We are very, very grateful.” — Boris Johnson, former UK prime minister, at the Imo economic summit

“I don't even see why any opposition person is campaigning; it's already a lost election. Tinubu does not even need to do a lot. The incumbency factor that he has, and the capacity to persuade people to vote against their interests through financial inducement. All opposition appeals to the same slice of voters from 1999 till now, but they're now splintered. Peter Obi, Goodluck Jonathan, and Atiku Abubakar all appeal to the same kind of voters. It's even worse a situation than 2023.” — Farooq Kperogi
