The African Democratic Congress (ADC) founding National Chairman, Chief Ralphs Okey Nwosu, has said that some powerful forces tried to undermine the ADC-led coalition initiative by offering him three ministerial appointments, a move he rejected, describing it as a desperate attempt to weaken the unity of the opposition.

Speaking at the party’s 99th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held on Tuesday at the Chelsea Hotel, Abuja, Nwosu reflected on his years of service, celebrating the party’s transformation from a fledgling movement into what he called “a government in waiting,” boasting over 28 Senators, more than 60 Members of the House of Representatives, and numerous state lawmakers across the country.

History will remember you sir

Shame to tinibu and his agent of doom

Tinubu, the Emilokan Dictator is the least popular President or C-i-C in the history of this country, both civilian and military rule. How did we end up with an insensitive and ruthless person as President?

The gods of the land must be angry to have allowed such sacrilege. People can no longer feed ,not to talk of other basic components of human lives.




ADC, HERE WE COME!!!

They are afraid of this coalition
I knew that
Wike Tinubu and Akpabio are not comfortable

Here this today.

Once PO clinched ADC ticket the next minute tinubu will quit out of the race siting 'health challenges' like Biden of America did because failure at the next poll will be 100 percent certain for him.

It's called politics

Kudos to you, Mr. Nwosu. In case anyone is wondering how all those multiple factions in all parties arise, the 360 degree switch of loyalists of other opposition leaders, the announced suspension of leaders from other parties out of the blue, the "endorsements" from unlikely quarters, etc, wonder no more. APC have looked at the numbers and seen that the only way they can win this election is if they are the only ones on the ballot. They are breaking the Nigerian treasury to buy-off any and everyone with a price.

This is not politics. Yar'adua, Goodluck Jonathan, and Muhammadu Buhari never played politics this way. This is anti-democracy and cowardice.

You mean the same Buhari that threatened violence when he was contesting in the past? "... the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood"

Yar'Adua himself confessed that the election that brought him and GEJ to power was fraudulent. If this bribery allegation leveled by this Nwosu is actually correct, it wouldn't be the worst we have heard about in this extremely corrupt country.

You are just another tribalistic, Northern supremacist.

It is a long tradition for some of you in the North to suddenly become aware of the problems plaguing Nigeria whenever a Southerner is in power. Even some of you have recently screaming about the insecurity in the North as if it started two years ago.

This Jonathan that you are all hyping up today in the North was given a lot of trouble by your folks in the North. Unfortunately, the Yorubas also foolishly followed you in 2015 in your vilification of Jonathan.

Now, you are trying to play the same game with the Igbos. Very soon, the entire South will see you for what you are.

False equivalence and typical gaslighting when cornered. No, the Yorubas didn't "foolishly" followed like you're postulating. They were the major players. Tinubu personally went to Daura to convince Buhari out of retirement to come send his fellow "Southern" brother packing. He said this himself at his "Emi Lokan" speech.

Tinubu won in 2023 with 5.6m Northern votes even with a Northern Atiku on the ballot but all of a sudden, it's now Northern supremacy to you because the North has rejected him for his failure? Someone who lost the South in 2023 and won via muslim-muslim ticket is now posturing to use Southern turn to win in 2027 yet fellow Southerners are not even allowed to aspire or vote in the SW. You've now even descended into renaming streets but yet you want a Southern alliance? The jokes write themselves.

Before Tinubu went to sell the idea of presidency to Buhari, there was a lot of anger and discontent directed at Jonathan in the North. Tinubu, being ambitious himself, leveraged on the discontent of the North against Jonathan.

I am not impressed by the 5.3 million votes Tinubu got in the North in 2023, most of which he got in the Middle Belt. Overall, he lost in most core Northern states. The major reason for my displeasure in his performance in the North in 2023 was that Atiku still got most Northern votes, despite the fact that Buhari, a Northerner, was just completing eight straight years.


There is nothing like gaslighting. The word "gaslighting" is usually used by dishonest people when they are avoiding being called out.

All you typed up there does not invalidate my observation that some few tribalistic, Northern supremacists tend to become experts, woke, and see everything wrong with Nigeria whenever a Southerner is in power. You generally align with a disaffected Southerner to take over power. Once you are done with your term (used the Southerner), you find another scheme to realign with another disaffected Southerner.

In all your schemings, you always take the presidential ticket, and hand over the VP(useless) slot to the naive, unsuspecting Southerner. After which, the cycle continues.

If Tinubu is doing poor as some of you "woke" Northerners are saying now, why not come together and vote for Obi or any other Southerner of your choice? The amount of votes Atiku got in the North in 2023 was enough to make Obi president.

When exactly were you offered the 3 ministerial appointments? Was it before the coalition adoption of ADC or After?
Because, there's any vacant position and why would you be offered such please lets know who exactly approached, you?
This news seems propaganda, to me!

How true is this story?

No evidence. Appointment by mouth. A real clown 🤡

I trust Wike to reply am this week.

Sannisege:
Which Omo nna dem go offer juicy appointment and him no go accept am. This one just dey deceive his tribesmen. So is Nwosu telling us that he rejected juicy federal appointment for the chicken change Atiku gave him? Cos there’s no way he can deny that he didn’t accept money from Atiku to relinquish his seat for David Mark. Abi no be yeebooo again?

ADC is just clutching on straws to gain the much needed momentum. Just as all planned protests died under Tinubu government, that’s how this ADC coalition will die.

Tilimbu must go 2027 tie Nigerians up tie Nigerians down

Lol. You are not impressed by 5.3m votes? How many votes did the SW contribute to Buhari’s victory? How many votes did Tinubu himself garner in his own Southwest for himself? Did he win Lagos? What about Osun? Electorates from his state of residence and state of origin do not trust him enough to vote for him but typically, you expect ALL Northerners to vote him against their own son in a one-way traffic. Is the Northcentral no longer part of the North? Besides you lie, Tinubu got his highest voting margin from the Northwest in 2023.

Northerners voted Obasanjo twice in 1999 and 2003. It wasn’t the Yoruba votes that made OBJ president. He lost virtually all the SW states. So tell me any point in time when Northerners have been against a Southerner in power if not in 2015 when Tinubu masterminded the betrayal of Jonathan for his own selfish future ambition which has now materialised. Yes, Tinubu began to prepare for that in advance by even preventing SWesterners like Mulikat Akande from holding any position. He would later use that to blackmail Jonathan accusing him of marginalisation. You now profess to love Obi but we all know why? If you care about the South, ask Tinubu to step aside and let the Southwest unanimously vote Obi then. Afterall, Tinubu usurped the turn of the Southeast.

And God will continue to make them uncomfortable because they thought nigeria is their heaven.

Mr NWOSU you must name the people that offered you such appointment as you claims.

Northerners voted for Obasanjo in 1999 against another Yoruba(Falae) man. No big deal! In fact, OBJ lost in the SW in 1999 because many Yoruba saw him as a representative of anti-Yoruba sentiments. Even at that, Northerners gave him problems. Obasanjo is the only president in history to have humiliatingly prostrated to his Northern VP (Atiku) just to get a second term. Besides, in 2003, the North voted en masse for Buhari. If not for the re-alignment of the SW in favor of OBJ, his strong standing in the SS and SE, and some rigging, OBJ would have lost to Buhari in 2003.

I am not professing any love for Obi. I am highlighting the tribalism and ethnic supremacy in the core North, and the fact that the North usually create fake premises for their power grab. If you believe that Tinubu is actually bad, unite yourselves, vote him out, but replace him with another Southerner. You appear as an intellectually dishonest person by inferring from my previous post that I am showing love for Obi.

By the way, I would be more interested in the break down of the votes along six geo-political zones. I acknowledged in my earlier post that Tinubu did well in the North Central, and I am willing to bet 100,000 with you that he will win North Central again in 2027, even in the unlikely event of losing.

The North West and some parts of North East are the hot-bed of ethnic and religious supremacy in the North. Atiku won those two zones in 2023, even as Buhari a Northerner was completing eight years. The NW and NE immediately start getting all the good ideas about good governance once a Southerner is in power. It is a cycle since 1960. After digging your previous posts, it is obvious that you carry the same myopic mentality.

So the President can't reshuffle his cabinet, and sack some unperforming ministers any time he wants or even create new ones?
