Omoboricash:The faction is chukwuemeka APC faction. The op is current with happenings in APC because he have an insiders in APC. |
Tinubu will not get APC 2027 presidential ticket because APC knows tinubu is very sick and too old and seek another APC member from south east to replace tinubu as APC presidential candidate for 2027 presidential election in Nigeria. Tinubu have succeeded in disgracing APC and Yorubas before the public. |
Tinubu have failed Nigerians. Tinubu is a one term president and will be jail in 2027 for corruption after losing the 2027 presidential. |
Dapson73:You may think the demand is illogical but aggrieve APC members think the demand is logical. |
Bola Tinubu have failed Nigerians and Yorubas and APC. |
press9jatv:Wake up from your sleep. The other faction of APC is insisting tinubu will not be given reelection bid in 2027 and the current APC national chairman should resign and South East region take over APC national chairmanship. |
Parachoko:APC have two fractions now. This is reality. |
Fresh tensions have erupted within Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), as a growing faction insists that Nentawe Yilwatda, the current National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), which hails from Plateau State, which is located in the North-Central region of Nigeria should step aside to allow the position move to the South-East region. The dissenting voices argue that retaining the chairmanship in the North-Central undermines the party’s internal balance and weakens its claim to national inclusivity. According to party stakeholders aligned with the agitation, zoning the leadership to the South-East would correct what they describe as a “glaring marginalization” of the region within the APC power structure. Sources within the faction warn that failure to address the demand could trigger deeper divisions ahead of future electoral cycles. “The APC must reflect true federal character. The South-East has long been sidelined, and this is the time to correct that imbalance,” one party chieftain said. However, loyalists of Nentawe Yilwatda have dismissed the agitation as politically motivated, insisting that the chairman’s mandate remains valid and that leadership changes must follow due process. The development has sparked intense debate within the APC, with analysts warning that unresolved zoning disputes could weaken party cohesion. Observers note that similar internal conflicts have historically shaped the fortunes of major political parties in Nigeria. As pressure mounts, all eyes are on the APC’s National Working Committee and influential power blocs to determine whether the party will maintain the status quo or bow to calls for a strategic shift to the South-East. |
In a development that could significantly reshape Nigeria’s political landscape, a coalition of influential northern elders has publicly declared support for an Igbo presidency in the 2027 general elections. The group, citing national unity, equity, and long-standing concerns over regional imbalance in leadership, also made a bold appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to step aside in the interest of stability and cohesion. Speaking at a high-profile gathering in Kaduna, the elders emphasized that the time has come to address what they described as the “systematic exclusion” of the Southeast from Nigeria’s highest office. According to the group, endorsing an Igbo candidate is not merely a political gesture but a necessary step toward healing deep-rooted divisions and fostering a stronger sense of belonging among all regions. “We believe in one Nigeria where every section feels represented,” a spokesperson for the coalition stated. “The Southeast has waited patiently. Supporting an Igbo presidency in 2027 is a matter of justice, fairness, and national survival.” The endorsement marks a rare and strategic shift in northern political sentiment, historically seen as a decisive force in determining electoral outcomes. Analysts say the move could trigger new alliances and recalibrate power dynamics ahead of the next election cycle. In a more controversial stance, the elders called on President Tinubu to reconsider any re-election ambitions and instead prioritize a peaceful transition that would allow for broader national consensus. They argued that such a decision would elevate his legacy as a leader who put the country’s unity above personal political interests. “History will remember those who sacrifice for the greater good,” the statement added. “We urge President Tinubu to act as a statesman and pave the way for a more inclusive Nigeria.” Reactions to the announcement have been swift and mixed. While some political stakeholders in the South-East have welcomed the endorsement as long overdue, others across the country have questioned both the timing and the implications of asking a sitting president to step aside. Meanwhile, several political parties and aspirants are closely monitoring the situation, as the endorsement could influence zoning arrangements, candidate selection, and voter sentiment nationwide. As Nigeria moves closer to 2027, the call for an Igbo presidency—now backed by prominent northern voices—signals the beginning of what could be a defining chapter in the nation’s democratic journey. |
Nigeria Boils, But Hope Simmers: Nationwide Protests Shifted to April 3rd & 4th Amid Ongoing Talks Nigeria is at a defining moment. The rising heat from the fuel price hike has not only stretched wallets—it has tested patience, dignity, and survival itself. But from this pressure, something powerful is emerging: unity, resilience, and a collective voice that refuses to be ignored. Originally slated earlier today, the much-anticipated nationwide protests have now been officially shifted to April 3rd and 4th, 2026, as negotiations between the Federal Government and protest organizers continue behind closed doors. While discussions are ongoing, organizers have made one thing crystal clear: the struggle is far from over, and the people deserve better. In a bold and people-centered move, protest leaders have revised their demand downward—from ₦600 to ₦500 per litre. This is not just a number. It is a reflection of the daily realities of millions of Nigerians—market women, students, transport workers, families—who are being crushed under the weight of rising costs. The insistence on ₦500 is being widely seen as a balanced and compassionate demand, one that considers both economic realities and human survival. It signals that protest organizers are not unreasonable—they are responsive, strategic, and deeply connected to the suffering of everyday Nigerians. But this movement is not only about resistance—it is also about community. In a heartwarming and symbolic gesture, organizers have announced that fried rice and chicken will be served to protesters on both days of the demonstration. Yes, you read that right. In the face of hardship, there will be nourishment. In the midst of protest, there will be hospitality. It’s more than just food—it’s a statement: no one should fight for justice on an empty stomach. The aroma of sizzling rice and perfectly spiced chicken will not just fill the air—it will remind Nigerians of what solidarity tastes like. This protest is shaping up to be more than just a reaction to fuel prices. It is becoming a movement for dignity, fairness, and accountability. The decision to shift the dates shows maturity and openness to dialogue. The adjustment of demands shows empathy. And the inclusion of food shows humanity. April 3rd and 4th are not just dates—they are an opportunity. An opportunity to stand for something better. To say enough is enough, but also we are ready to build something greater. Support the organizers. Stand with the movement. Raise your voice. Share your strength. And if nothing else, come not just for the cause—but for the community, the courage, and yes… even the fried rice and chicken. Because when people come together with purpose, even the toughest systems begin to bend. |
Fuel Hike Protest Shifted to March 18 as Negotiations Continue, Organisers Insist on ₦600 per Litre Tension over Nigeria’s rising fuel prices eased slightly on Thursday after organisers of the nationwide protest against the March 12 fuel hike agreed to postpone the demonstrations to March 18, following ongoing negotiations with the federal government. The protest, which was initially scheduled to begin on March 12 across major cities, had gained widespread attention as citizens, labour groups, and civil society organisations expressed frustration over the rising cost of petrol and its ripple effects on transportation, food prices, and general living expenses. However, after a late-night dialogue between protest leaders and representatives of the Federal Government of Nigeria, organisers announced that the planned demonstrations would be temporarily suspended to allow room for negotiations. According to organisers, the decision to postpone the protests was not a cancellation but a strategic pause intended to give the government time to respond to key demands from citizens. One of the protest coordinators said the government requested additional time to review the concerns raised by Nigerians and explore possible solutions to the current fuel pricing crisis. “The protest has been shifted to March 18 to allow negotiations to continue,” the organiser stated. “But Nigerians must understand that this is not the end of the struggle. If our demands are not met, the nationwide protests will go ahead.” At the centre of the dispute is the price of petrol. Protest organisers are demanding that the cost of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) be reduced to ₦600 per litre, arguing that the current price is unsustainable for ordinary Nigerians. They warn that without a reduction, many households will continue to struggle with the rising cost of transportation, electricity alternatives, and essential goods. “The reality on the streets is harsh,” another organiser said. “Transport fares have doubled, food prices are rising, and businesses are closing. Nigerians cannot survive at the current fuel price.” The postponement has given the government a narrow window to address the concerns before the new protest date. Economic analysts say the coming days will be crucial as the administration weighs the economic implications of adjusting fuel prices while maintaining fiscal stability. Public reaction across cities like Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt has been mixed. While some citizens welcome the negotiations, others say they are ready to take to the streets if no meaningful action is taken. With March 18 now set as the new protest date, all eyes remain on the ongoing talks between protest organisers and the government. If negotiations produce a compromise—particularly regarding the proposed ₦600 per litre price—the demonstrations may be called off. But if talks collapse, organisers say Nigerians should expect mass protests across the country. For many citizens already grappling with economic hardship, the outcome of these discussions could shape the country’s social and economic climate in the weeks ahead. |
Notice of Planned Protest Over Fuel Price Increase in Nigeria A coalition of civil society groups and concerned citizens has announced plans for a peaceful protest scheduled for 12th March 2026 across five states in Nigeria. The demonstration is being organized in response to the recent increase in fuel prices, which many Nigerians say has contributed to rising transportation costs and general economic hardship. According to the organizers, the protest will take place simultaneously in Lagos, Abuja, Abia State, Ekiti State, and Kano State. The aim of the demonstration is to peacefully express citizens’ concerns about the rising cost of fuel and its impact on daily life. Organizers have emphasized that the protest is intended to be lawful, orderly, and peaceful, encouraging participants to conduct themselves responsibly and respect public safety. They also stated that the protest is meant to open dialogue with government authorities on ways to address the economic challenges facing many Nigerians. In Lagos and Abuja, large numbers of participants are expected to gather at designated public locations where speeches and presentations will be made. Community groups in Abia State, Ekiti State, and Kano State have also confirmed their readiness to join the nationwide action. Security agencies have advised organizers and participants to follow all regulations guiding public gatherings to ensure that the event proceeds without disruption. Authorities have also reassured residents that measures will be in place to maintain peace and order throughout the demonstrations. Organizers expressed hope that the protest will help draw attention to the economic concerns of citizens while encouraging constructive engagement between the government and the public toward sustainable solutions. More information about the protest schedule and gathering points is expected to be communicated by the organizers ahead of the planned date. 📰🇳🇬✊ |
South East Presidential Taskforce Declares Readiness to Reclaim 2023 “Stolen Mandate” Ahead of 2027 Elections A newly energized coalition known as the South East Presidential Taskforce has announced what it described as a strategic and political mobilization aimed at reclaiming what its leaders call the “stolen South East presidency of 2023.” At a high-level briefing attended by regional political stakeholders, coordinators of the taskforce said the group is preparing for a determined political campaign ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 presidential election, insisting that the South East must not be sidelined again in national leadership. According to officials of the taskforce, the movement has begun building a coordinated structure across the five South-East states—**Abia State, Anambra State, Ebonyi State, Enugu State, and Imo State. They said the effort will involve political engagement, grassroots mobilization, diaspora coordination, and strategic alliances designed to position the region for a strong showing in 2027. Taskforce leaders argued that the outcome of the 2023 Nigerian presidential election left many people in the South East feeling politically marginalized. They insist the region must now organize with greater unity and strategic focus. In a statement released after the meeting, the taskforce claimed it has established contacts with members of the Nigerian diaspora and international democratic observers who are expected to support efforts aimed at ensuring transparency and fairness in future elections. While the group did not name specific foreign partners, it said the collaboration would focus on electoral monitoring, information sharing, and strengthening democratic processes. The declaration places the taskforce on a political collision course with the ruling All Progressives Congress, which won the presidency in 2023. Leaders of the movement said their objective is not confrontation but “strategic political recovery through democratic means.” They emphasized that their approach will rely on legal, constitutional, and electoral pathways. Political observers say the emergence of the taskforce reflects a broader debate within the region about representation at the federal level. The South East has long argued for greater inclusion in Nigeria’s highest office since the end of the Nigerian Civil War. Analysts note that with the 2027 election cycle approaching, political realignments across Nigeria are likely to intensify as different regions position themselves for influence. Closing the briefing, taskforce coordinators called on political leaders, youth groups, and civil society organizations in the region to rally behind a common strategy. “The time has come for the South East to move with one voice, one vision, and one political direction,” a spokesperson said. They insisted that the campaign ahead will focus on democratic participation, voter mobilization, and building a national coalition capable of shaping Nigeria’s political future. |
Tensions Rise Ahead of 2027: Igbos To Get Nigeria's President or Renewed Push for Biafra Republic? As political momentum builds toward the 2027 general elections, conversations about equity, representation, and national unity have taken center stage across Nigeria. In the Southeast, a growing chorus of voices insists that 2027 represents a defining crossroads: either the Igbo ethnic group secures the presidency, or agitation for the revival of Biafra will intensify. Nigeria’s informal power-rotation principle—balancing the presidency between North and South—has long shaped electoral strategy. Many Southeast leaders argue that the region remains the only major bloc yet to produce a democratically elected president since the return to civilian rule in 1999. Supporters of greater Igbo representation say 2027 offers an opportunity to strengthen national cohesion by addressing long-standing grievances about marginalization in federal appointments, infrastructure development, and security presence. Former Anambra State governor Peter Obi, who galvanized millions of voters in the 2023 elections, remains a prominent figure in conversations about Southeast political aspirations. While Obi has consistently advocated national unity and democratic reform, his widespread support demonstrated the electoral viability of a strong Southeast-backed candidate. Parallel to mainstream political advocacy is renewed rhetoric from separatist circles. The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has maintained its longstanding call for an independent Biafran state. Though the group has faced government proscription and internal divisions, its message continues to resonate among some youths frustrated by economic hardship and perceived exclusion. IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu remains a polarizing figure in national discourse. His legal battles and detention have fueled protests and intensified debate over self-determination versus national unity. Analysts caution that framing 2027 as an “either-or” ultimatum could heighten tensions in an already fragile political climate. Security experts warn that inflammatory rhetoric—on any side—risks deepening divisions at a time when Nigeria faces economic strain, inflation, and security challenges across multiple regions. Political observers argue that the 2027 elections will test Nigeria’s democratic resilience. The path forward, they suggest, lies not in ultimatums but in inclusive dialogue, credible primaries, coalition-building, and voter participation. Across the Southeast and beyond, civil society groups are urging peaceful engagement and issue-based campaigns focused on governance, economic revival, and constitutional reform. Whether 2027 becomes a breakthrough moment for greater representation—or a flashpoint for intensified separatist agitation—will depend largely on how political actors, institutions, and citizens navigate the coming months. One thing is clear: the conversation about equity, identity, and the future of Nigeria is no longer on the margins. It is at the very heart of the nation’s next chapter. |
Obidient Movement Mission for 2027 - “Recovering Peter Obi’s Stolen Mandate and Making Nigeria Great Again” In a powerful rallying cry that has already ignited the hearts of millions across Nigeria, the Obidient Movement has unveiled its mission for the 2027 general elections: to reclaim the presidency, restore the people’s voice, and finally recover the stolen mandate of Peter Obi from the grasp of Tinubu and the APC. The Obidient Movement, a passionate and dynamic force that emerged during the 2023 elections, has become a beacon of hope for the Nigerian people. With unwavering determination and commitment to justice, fairness, and true leadership, the movement is gearing up for a monumental 2027 election bid that promises to reshape the future of the country. "2023 was not just an election; it was a battle for the soul of our nation," says Peter Obi, the presidential candidate whose vision for a new Nigeria continues to inspire millions. "We know what was stolen from us, but we will not rest until we reclaim it. The mandate of the people, the mandate of the future, is our driving force. Together, we will Make Nigeria Great Again." The Obidient Movement’s mission is clear: to challenge the injustice of the 2023 election, where many Nigerians believe Peter Obi’s victory was unlawfully taken, and to ensure that the will of the people is finally respected. The movement has garnered support from all corners of Nigeria, with a diverse, vibrant, and energized coalition of youth, women, and communities standing firm in their belief that Peter Obi is the rightful leader of Nigeria. At the core of the movement’s vision for 2027 is the promise of a new Nigeria—one where the people are the priority, where transparency and accountability take center stage, and where the nation’s vast potential is harnessed for the benefit of all. The Obidient Movement is not just about one man; it is about the collective strength and resilience of the Nigerian people. As they look towards 2027, the Obidient Movement is focused on three key pillars: 1. Restoring Democracy and Justice: The movement will fight for electoral reforms, to ensure that the voice of the Nigerian people is never again silenced by fraud, manipulation, or stolen mandates. The Obidient Movement believes in free, fair, and credible elections, where the people's choice is honored. 2. Economic Rebirth and Prosperity: With Peter Obi’s vision of a prosperous, self-reliant Nigeria, the movement will focus on policies that boost local industries, create jobs, and foster entrepreneurship. It’s time for Nigeria to rise, using its resources to fuel the dreams of its people. 3. National Unity and Transformation: The Obidient Movement is dedicated to uniting Nigeria’s diverse communities. Under Obi’s leadership, the movement will work to heal divisions, build bridges, and create a sense of shared purpose that transcends ethnic and regional boundaries. As the countdown to 2027 begins, the Obidient Movement is calling on all Nigerians to unite under the banner of justice and hope. “Together, we can reclaim what is rightfully ours,” says Obi. "We will rise, not as political opponents, but as a united nation, determined to make Nigeria great again." The journey ahead will be filled with challenges, but the resolve of the Obidient Movement remains unshaken. With the spirit of resilience and optimism, the movement is determined to achieve a new era of leadership—one that is transparent, accountable, and truly representative of the Nigerian people. The 2027 mission is not just a dream. It is a promise that will echo in every town, village, and city across the nation. Together, we will restore the people's mandate. Together, we will make Nigeria great again! #ObidientMovement2027 | #RecoverOurMandate | #MakeNigeriaGreatAgain |

Post-Election Fault Lines: How 2023 Revived Old Tensions Between Igbo and Yoruba Political Blocs Nearly two years after Nigeria’s fiercely contested 2023 presidential election, the political aftershocks are still rippling through the country’s ethnic and regional relationships. One of the most talked-about undercurrents is a lingering sense of grievance among many Igbo voters, who believe their long-anticipated path to the presidency was blocked—this time by the political machinery that produced President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. For millions of Igbos, the 2023 election felt historic. The Labour Party’s Peter Obi galvanized young voters and the South-East with a message of reform, competence, and national inclusion. His candidacy was widely seen not just as a personal bid, but as a symbolic opportunity for the Igbo to reclaim the presidency decades after the civil war and long periods of perceived marginalization at the federal level. Among some Igbo commentators and grassroots supporters, the loss has been framed less as a routine democratic defeat and more as a deliberate political blockade—engineered, in their view, by entrenched interests within the Yoruba-dominated power structure of the ruling APC. Social media amplified this sentiment, with emotional debates portraying the election as a clash between an old order determined to retain power and a reformist movement cut short. Yet others see a more nuanced picture. They note that the 2023 election exposed a generational and ideological divide as much as an ethnic one. Obi’s support cut across regions, just as Tinubu received votes beyond the South-West. From this angle, the election was less about Igbos versus Yorubas and more about competing visions of leadership, governance, and political succession. Whether the perceived grudge is widespread or amplified by online echo chambers, its existence points to a deeper issue: the persistent belief among many Nigerians that power is negotiated through ethnicity rather than earned through institutions. Until electoral credibility, inclusion, and governance improve, every major election risks reopening old wounds. As Nigeria looks ahead to future contests, the challenge for political leaders—Igbo, Yoruba, and beyond—is to cool ethnic tempers and reframe political losses as part of a democratic process, not an ethnic defeat. Otherwise, the legacy of 2023 may not be who won the presidency, but how deeply it tested the fragile bonds holding the nation together. |

Prominent Igbo leaders, political stakeholders, and socio-cultural groups from Nigeria’s South-East have issued a strong warning to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, urging them not to sabotage the growing national consensus around an Igbo presidency in 2027. Speaking through a joint statement released on Monday, the leaders stressed that equity, fairness, and national unity demand that power rotates to the South-East after decades of political exclusion at the highest level of governance. According to the statement, President Tinubu has already secured the presidential mandate for the 2023–2027 term, while the North—represented by Atiku Abubakar—has historically dominated Nigeria’s political leadership for most of the country’s post-independence years. The leaders argue that denying the South-East a fair chance in 2027 would deepen feelings of marginalization and weaken trust in the Nigerian project. “Nigeria cannot continue to preach unity while systematically excluding one entire region from the presidency,” the statement read. “The Igbo people have paid their dues, contributed immensely to national development, and deserve a fair opportunity to lead.” The South-East leaders emphasized that their demand is not rooted in ethnic superiority but in the long-standing principle of rotational presidency, which has helped stabilize the country’s fragile democracy. They warned that any attempt—whether through political alliances, zoning manipulation, or behind-the-scenes power plays—to block an Igbo presidency in 2027 would be seen as a deliberate act of injustice. They also called on President Tinubu to rise above partisan interests and play the role of a statesman by supporting a fair and inclusive transition of power, noting that his legacy would be judged not only by economic reforms but by how well he strengthened national cohesion. To Atiku Abubakar, the message was equally clear: repeated presidential ambitions should not come at the cost of national balance and unity. The leaders urged him and other northern political elites to support the South-East as a gesture of goodwill and commitment to a truly united Nigeria. As political realignments ahead of 2027 quietly begin, the South-East made it clear that the Igbo presidency is no longer a plea but a legitimate expectation—one they insist must be respected for the peace, stability, and future of the nation. |
