According to him, about 5,300 students in Cross River State have benefited from the student loan scheme, describing the initiative as evidence of Tinubu\u2019s commitment to supporting young Nigerians and families facing financial difficulties.\n<\/p>\n
He also pointed to improvements in infrastructure and the need to strengthen the state\u2019s revenue base, arguing that sustained collaboration between the federal and state governments would accelerate development.\n<\/p>\n
The former Edo State governor further praised Tinubu\u2019s interest in Cross River\u2019s historical significance, recalling a briefing on the state\u2019s rich heritage during a visit to the palace of the Obong of Calabar. He noted that Calabar\u2019s historical importance, including its former status as an administrative centre during colonial rule, deserved renewed national recognition.\n<\/p>\n
However, Oshiomhole\u2019s most contentious remarks were directed at opposition figures, particularly Atiku and Obi, whose political ambitions and leadership records he questioned.\n<\/p>\n
Taking a swipe at Atiku, he accused the ADC presidential candidate of treating Nigeria as a country to return to only during election seasons, alleging that he frequently relocates to Dubai after electoral contests. He further predicted that Atiku would lose the election if Tinubu emerged victorious.<\/p>\n
Oshiomhole also questioned Peter Obi\u2019s leadership record, challenging his performance as a former governor of Anambra State and expressing doubts about his ability to deliver on a four-year presidential promise.\n<\/p>\n
