Let us see whether the cabal that is the Senate leadership will have the cajones to suspend Oshiomole. Whichever way we may like to pretend, the APC is seriously fractured. From Hope Uzodinma vs the Peter Mbah progressive (sic) governors leadership tussle to the Umahi vs Wike (yes, Wike is APC) tussle in Ebonyi, to the Oshiomole vs Akpabio Senate leadership tussle. Tinubu cannot continue to hide behind a finger. He will eventually pick a side and that's when the whole house will come crashing down.

Akpakomiza2:
Atiku is last on all polls

Tell Tinubu to be courageous enough to meet Atiku at the polls. We want to test your theory.

Fake news. If he was, he wouldn't be so focused on running as the sole candidate. Tinubu has no pathway to re-election via the ballot, as at today.

This was why Seyi fought tooth and nail to forcefully install a NANS president while the original winner of the election was hounded, brutalised, and imprisoned. These people planned everything they were going to unleash on Nigerians from the get-go. Same thing for the Chairman of the NURTW. MC Oluomo was forcefully installed against a substantive court judgement that recognised Baruwa as the original chairman.

givedemwotowoto:
When you realize that this group of people supporting Tilumbu who are ready to be used for anything have infiltrated every sector of the system.

Nigerians have a fierce fight on their hands to reclaim their country

Let them continue. This can only end one way.

Even the most ardent supporters of Tinubu no longer bother to prove that he is better, they only argue these days that the others are the same. Even if they are the same, Tinubu has been tested and has failed. Let others come and try too.

Ofunaofu:
One of the reasons I want a new government to take over in 2027 is the hope that it will sanitize the judiciary. Rogue judges like Justice Lifu would be summarily retired and disgraced out of the judicial system.

The level of impunity and judicial rascality witnessed under the Tinubu regime is unprecedented and would be difficult to find a parallel for anywhere in the world.

They ran on the false pretence of being fighters of democracy but time and tide has proven them to be worse than Abacha. Tinubu lives in morbid fear of subjecting himself to the electoral process because he knows that as long as a competitive election will hold, he will lose.

Akpakomiza2:
Your political naivety is very evident. Ganduje was compensated with board chairman of Faan. The joke is on you to provide evidence of your lies. So Tinubu should reject a sitting governor from defecting. Who does that? How is that betrayal? He should reject those who will increase votes tally? No wonder atiku keeps losing foolishly. You don't know what betrayal is...

Even a child knows Binani is pro Atiku and she never hid it. While in APC, she aligned with Atiku using the chinkafa de wake slogan. She openly campaigned for Atiku that is why Tinubu camp supported Fintiri. You don't know politics just like Atiku your failed master

Okay. Kindly tell us why Adeleke was not accepted into the APC. I am waiting.

Akpakomiza2:
Why do you like vomiting nonsense? How was Ganduje betrayed? Ganduje was made to replace Adamu for a while until he found a permanent replacement from the north central. Did Ganduje complain to you? Was that position not meant for north central? Have you addressed atiku betrayal of Binani and Babachir

The joke is on you. Replacing Ganduje with Adamu from the Northcentral indeed. Couldn't he have found someone else from the Northcentral ab initio? Kindly tell us why Ganduje retired to London immediately after his removal until he was prevailed upon to return only to be betrayed again by Tinubu by accepting Abba Kabir and effectively handing over Kano APC structure to Kwankwaso in disguise?

Binani was the APC gubernatorial candidate in 2023 while Babachir Lawal was an SGF under Buhari who left APC due to Tinubu's muslim-muslim ticket in 2023 and supported Obi. There is no evidence that the duo were ever Atiku’s allies until they moved to the ADC coalition. The big question is why did they leave APC? Why did Tinubu betray them?

According to Daily Nigerian, Tinubu sacked Ganduje as APC chairman by having a security chief stand over him as he signs the letter via coercion. Goal-Goal. It is not a coincidence that Ganduje has disappeared from the political scene. He is still nursing his betrayal by Tinubu.

Tinubu has seen the data that we have all seen. He has no pathway to re-election through the ballots. He should just cut to the chase and declare himself president. The fear and trepidation is palpable and moves like this only end up putting off his genuine supporters and demoralising even his hard-core tribal fanatics.

Gunayo:
He won those states with the help of pdp governors in those states. Now, he cant get 25% in any of the southern states. Who know adc in the south?

When you voted in 2023, was it because your governor told you who to vote for? Why didn't Tinubu win Lagos since governors determine elections in their states? Why couldn't Umahi and Uzodinma deliver their states to Tinubu? Why couldn't Okowa, who was an incumbent governor and Vice presidential candidate win Delta?

seunmsg:
Was any sacred institution sacrificed on the altar of politics when the same court ordered INEC to register NDC despite the fact that the party did not meet the requirements for registration as evaluated by INEC?

On what legal basis is INEC refraining from registering new political parties while the incumbent government continues to destroy all existing parties? The law is not what Tinubu wants it to be, no matter who stands to benefit from it or is affected by it. If Tinubu is not interested in elections, he should say so and declare himself president instead of resorting to such cowardly antics that has never been seen before in the history of our democratic dispensation. Why should Wike's Justice Lifu go against an existing appeal Court judgement to rule on a matter and why should he give a Kangaroo judgement that is clearly wrong if not just to "buy time" and diminish the momentum of opposition parties as they head to appeal? Antics like this cost the ruling party votes from undecided voters and even from genuine APC voters that previously believed Tinubu stood a chance at the ballot.

Gunayo:
Tell me one state Atiku will win in the whole of south or where he will get 25% of votes cast in the south?

Well, for starters, he won Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Osun in 2023, and that was after 8 years of Buhari. He doesn't even need to win any state in the South but you will be naïve if you think the people that voted him in those states no longer exists or will all now be voting for Tinubu. On what basis will they no longer vote for him? Turn of the South? 2023 was more of the turn of the South than 2027 will be and Tinubu has been tested and has failed.

fergie001:
He must have gotten into some 'fight' with Umahi. I will not be surprised if it is related to Fubara. 😂

Exactly. Let's not forget that Wike it was who chased Umahi out of PDP. Now, he has gone to meet him in the APC. The man lives and breathes trouble. Some few months ago, the duo of Umahi and Ribadu breezed into Rivers on the invitation of Fubara. The rest is history. Wike does not forgive.

Wetin my leader, Wike don do again?

Obio Akpor Ghengis Khan is pushing his luck too far.

seunmsg:
First time this handle will be making sense to me.

Rather, the first time the handle's opinion aligns with yours. The handle has always made sense.

Penguin2:
This is a very straightforward case. It won’t survive at Appeal.

What I find confounding is that Justice Lifu is no longer pretending about how sold out he is to injustice and in doing the bidding of Wike and APC.

It’s so so annoying and embarrassing

Well, if he has been mobilised with more money than he can ever get to make in his career as a judge and he has no conscience, he will be willing to do whatever his paymasters asks of him. It's just a shame that taxpayer's money saved from the sweat of struggling Nigerians is being channelled to the wrong cause while Nigerians are left to grapple with insecurity and maladministration.

obcpascal:
Peter Obi and Kwankwaso so smart to make that Fast Move..... LoL 😂

The naivety of you lot will have been funny if it wasn't so sad. You think this is about Obi jumping from one party to the other in fear of the ruling party? What happens when the APC comes for the NDC with another Kangaroo court order? He runs to another party again?

fergie001:
Peter Lifu should go the route of Ekwo.
A notorious dishonourable Judge.

Appeal Court said don't rule on the matter till we decide a suit related to that and you say NO. Adeleke was fast enough!

The damage Tinubu and Wike have done to our judiciary will take a while for the incoming government to rectify. These are just the last kicks of a dying horse. They have engaged the services of multiple polling firms and analysts that keep telling them that Tinubu has no pathway to re-election. Hence, the desperation you see. This judgement appears targeted more at Adeleke, unfortunately for them, he is smarter.

Lordhanzo:
then a re-run will happen

Yes, if Atiku fails to get 25% in ⅔ of the states (he just might). As long as Obi is in the race, Atiku will emerge with the highest votes cast. The rerun will be between the candidate with the highest votes cast and the candidate with the most spread (not necessarily the second highest). Tinubu appears jittery and will rather not face his opponents at the ballot. He has no choice.

They have engaged the services of multiple polling firms and analysts that keep telling them that Tinubu has no pathway to re-election. Hence, the desperation you see. In law, this is called fait accompli.

Not only does the ADC have elective positions, the ruling was given in defiance of a court of appeal judgement that had ordered the matter to not be heard until November. Tinubu and Wike are in panic mode and this judgement was meant to erase news of Amaechi's selection as Atiku’s Vice. Just as the Nafiu Bala fiasco by INEC was done on the day Kwankwaso joined the ADC. The incoming government will have a lot of sanitation to do beginning from the judiciary.

Amovingman:
Remember that anyone from South East can't become Nigeria president next year or nearest future

If the Southeast vote Tinubu in 2027, they stand a chance of becoming V.P to a Fulaniman under APC in 2031. They have no pathway to the presidency that does not involve going through the V.P route. Since 1999, every single region that has become president started as V.P.

From a strategic point of view, there's nothing for ADC in the Southeast. Obi made sure of it. Historically, the Southeast is also the only region that doesn't split their votes, although they almost always end up backing the wrong horse. Every other region in the country put their eggs in multiple baskets as a form of insurance except for the Southeast. In 2023, Atiku made Okowa from the Southsouth V.P and even though he didn't win Delta, he won Akwa Ibom and Bayelsa. Politics is not an emotional sport.

WizardOfNG:
Keep quiet. Tinubu pushing his luck how? From the mouth of an Atiku supporter?

Atiku who wanted to directly replace Buhari in 2023 meaning it could have been 16 unbroken years for Fulanis in power?

Tinubu will win in January comfortably.

And would that be a crime? The Southwest had 8 years of Obasanjo presidency and then 8 years of Osinbajo as Vice, and now, Tinubu is currently President. It's the turn of the South but which of the South? Monkey dey work, baboon dey chop.

According to APC lackeys, Tinubu's "bold reforms" are working. But even the cooked up statistics now beg to differ.

Amovingman:
Where will atiku and Peter obi get their vote from?

Atiku will get his from the majority of Tinubu's 5.6m Northern voters who would now rather vote for him, coupled with the 6.9m votes that he got in 2023. Obi will get his from the same place he got over 6m votes in 2023. By that, I mean the entire South including Tinubu's Lagos. So again, where will Tinubu's votes come from? Is he going to use court orders to declare himself elected?

Amovingman:
Where did he get his votes from in 2023

Largely from 5.6m Northern voters, majority of whom will no longer vote for him. I ask again, where will his votes come from?

Amovingman:
Tinubu till 2031

Merely chanting it is not enough. Where will his votes come from?

richmond500:
There may be a very heavy protest across the nation that will make this election not to hold.
If oppositions are strangled, things will get outta hand

Allow Tinubu to keep pushing his luck. They have engaged the services of multiple polling firms and analysts that keep telling them that Tinubu has no pathway to re-election. Hence, the desperation you see. In law, this is called fait accompli.

Not only does the ADC have elective positions, the ruling was given in defiance of a court of appeal judgement that had ordered the matter to not be heard until November. Tinubu and Wike are in panic mode and this judgement was meant to erase news of Amaechi's selection as Atiku’s Vice. Just as the Nafiu Bala fiasco by INEC was done on the day Kwankwaso joined the ADC. "The guy is gone!"

Who did Umahi and Soludo adopt in 2023 and what was the result from their states? I don't even blame them. They are both sabotaging Obi so they can be considered for V.P to a Northerner under APC in 2031 but V.P is too condescending for some people.

LagosOrigin:
AMINDA, kuku join NDC as your atiku is now partyless

Be useful for once 😂😂😂

Ignore the kangaroo judgement. It's borne out of panic. Not only does the ADC have elective positions, the ruling was given in defiance of a court of appeal judgement that had ordered the matter to not be heard until a November. Tonubu and Wike are in panic mood and this judgement was meant to erase news of Amaechi's selection as Atiku’s Vice. It will not stand but it's in your best interest that you don't join Tinubu in celebrating the destruction of our democracy.
