All the noise is good for media sensationalism but lacks substance. By his actions, Tinubu has already conceded defeat to the opposition.

Okay, noted. In other news...

Sheuns:
Why is the FG budgeting for legals?

Shouldn’t this be INEC and political parties involvement?

Tinubu has blurred the lines between the federal government and the APC. All party activities of the APC now take place at the villa. A lot of atrocities and abuse of office will be uncovered when he's voted out in 2027.

CaptainGo:
El Rufai was most relevant in the build up to the election. However, in the election proper, APC lost Kaduna in the Presidential election, lost numerous National assembly seats, and very narrowly won the gubernatorial election.
Or you want to pretend you don't know how much he is despised especially in southern Kaduna?

APC will perform way better in Kaduna come 2027 than they did in 2023. You can bookmark this.

Lol. I just hope Tinubu has better advisers on Northern matters than yourself. Elrufai's contribution to Tinubu's victory transcended his ability to make Tinubu win Kaduna state. Elrufai wasn't on the ballot, Tinubu was. Tinubu was on the ballot in Lagos but couldn't win the state which he governed for 8 years and his state of origin, Osun State but let's crucify Elrufai for not having the ability to market alcohol in the middle of Mecca. Tinubu got 400k votes in Kaduna, Atiku (a Northerner), won the state with 500k votes while Kwankwaso (another Northerner) got 150k votes. Obi cleared all of Southern Kaduna votes but that only translated to just over 200k votes. Fastforward to 2027 and Elrufai, Atiku, Obi and Kwankwaso are in the same party. Do the math! You don't know better than Tinubu that is fighting tooth and nail to ensure that he does not have to face any opposition at the ballot. Now, that's how you analyse politics.

Mccullum:
It's highly illogical to be comparing Nigeria democratic methods with Cameron. Nigeria has limitations of two terms while Paul Biya enjoying unlimited tenure so far he's alive, he can continue to contest election in Cameron.

If it continues like this, it will only be a matter of time. Nigeria also had participatory democracy until Bobo Chicago. Now, we are seeing the desperation of one man in becoming the only major presidential candidate on a ballot. Who's to say he won't elongate his tenure if he succeeds? Your likes will still be here to justify it.

raumdeuter:
Its not politics its law

Politics and law needs planning, you cannot lose an election, fly to Dubai rest for 3yrs and come back 10mnths to an eelction and hijack any party for an SPV

Let me give you a leson in history, when Tinubu had issues at AD, the party was already split into Bisi Akande faction and Mojisoluwa Akinfenwa faction, Tinubu stepped away and formed a brand new party. If Tinubu had continued with AD, they would have had the same issue

Buhari also similar with ANPP, he left and formed a new CPC.

Both formed new structures or hijack existing parties that have existing legal issues

When both Buhari and Tinubu were going into alignment, The left the old party and formed a new one

A lot of Nigerians are used to the anyhowness of thing that when they ask them to do things right, it becomes a witch hunt to them

This can only come from someone not abreast of the developments in the country. Form a new party? Did the opposition not apply for registration of new parties? Why did INEC refuse registering ADA and several others despite meeting all requirements? How come viable political parties like PDP, LP, NNPP and now ADC that produced candidates who secured millions of votes barely 3 years ago suddenly get inundated with crisis under your tribesman? You can continue to bury your head in the sand. All these glowing tributes you bestow on Tinubu was only possible because no previous president weaponised presidential powers in such a brazen manner. Paul Biya also has his supporters in Cameroon.

Paul Biya wannabe and Abacha's prodigy.

Tinubu may think Wike is an asset but he would soon realise he is a huge liability that will cost him the 2027 election. He should have listened to Lagos GAC and cut Wike loose as he was advised. Every keen observer knows Tinubu is borrowing a page from Wike and following his advice to scuttle all opposition political parties. In Wike's second term and Fubara's election, the APC was not allowed to field a candidate and Tinubu was in on that. He used a now rewarded Magnus Abe to achieve that. Tinubu is the originator of anti-party in the APC. This strategy may succeed in a state but will fail at the national level. Time is a gentleman.

Otamendi99:
Atleast he still got strong allies in the North. Please tell us the Strong Allies your Atiku has in the South that will make us vote him.

Be more concerned about Peter Obi. Obi defeated Tinubu in the South and will defeat him again in 2027. If Tinubu loses his Northern votes, where will his votes come from? The North gave him 63% (5.6m) of his votes. Mind you, if he repeats his muslim-muslim ticket he will lose the little ground he has gained in the middlebelt.

Shantyken:
So na only northwest president dey sweet, Buhari just finish and in 2031 u want el rufai

Elrufai never told anyone he was interested in becoming president in 2031. They were just insecure, fearing he will outshine them. Besides, going by your logic, Tinubu shouldn't be seeking re-election considering that we've had 8 years of Obasanjo as President, 8 years of Osinbajo as Vice and 4 years of Tinubu, as president, all from the Southwest. He should step down and endorse another candidate from the other regions in the South.

franchasng:
Below are the people that made Tinubu President:

Mallam El Rufai
Aisha Buhari
Muhammadu Buhari
Professor Mahmood Yakubu
Nyesom Wike

His defeat in the North started from the day he betrayed Elrufai. All those who deceived him to do away with Elrufai because of 2031, promising they can deliver the North, are now nowhere to be found. Where is his heir apparent, Ribadu? Lessons. They are now desperate to run unopposed because going through the ballot is apparently no longer a feasible option.

What about NDC? Paul Biya wannabe and Abacha's prodigy has also extended his leprous hand to the newly found party. The desperation is now palpable but 2027 is inevitable. In the meantime, you can continue to bury your head in the sand.

onatisi:
in as much as i dont like apc nor tinubu , i have to admit one thing , he knows how to play the game of politics . he has a very deep political foresight that many nigerian politicians lack . majority of nigerian politicians only start getting serious when it is 18 months to elections , they lack the initiative to plan years ahead like 5 years , and that is something which tinubu has , that is why he is seen as a political juggernaut

This is not politics, unless you're calling what is playing out in Cameroon under Paul Biya, politics. Turning democracy on its head because you have presidential powers is not politics. Other president's have graced this seat too in the past. They didn't play politics this way. Actions that can destroy the national fabric of this country cannot be summarily categorised as politics.

press9jatv:
Haaaa NDC have issues too. Hmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔

Do you now understand the kind of person the man whom you support is? He is Abacha's prodigy.

Makinde may be headed to the ADC rather, but I would prefer he decamps to the NDC and contest the presidential elections.

Meanwhile, Paul Biya wannabe strikes again. They have become so predictable and the level of desperation is now becoming a thing of comedy, if it wasn't so sad. All these moves is counterproductive and is rather demoralising genuine APC supporters of good conscience who previously believed their party stood a chance in a free and fair election.

fergie001:
I have seen ADC's reply but hadn't seen INEC's. Thanks for this!

You're welcome. All these shenanigans by the ruling party is just to slow the momentum of the ADC. They have no case. In the meantime, Nigerians continue to flood the ADC in record numbers. "The guy is gone!"

seunmsg:
Go and tell Justice Nwite all these your stories. It is that simple. I’m not a judge and INEC is a party to the case and not a judge. Telling us all these is a waste of time. Go back to the FHC and explain yourself to Justice Nwite. Till then, INEC won’t recognize anyone.

Status quo ante belum never meant INEC should not recognise anyone in the first place. There was never a time when the party was without leadership. INEC has only prematurely shown their bias and this is a plus for the opposition. When Tinubu eventually loses the 2027 election, it wouldn't be because he didn't try to rig with the collusion of INEC, it will be because the election was too big to rig and the consequences too dire. No one can rig against momentum and momentum is clearly with the Coalition and will remain so heading into 2027. Time is a gentleman.

seunmsg:
INEC is a party to the case and they simply defended their decision to recognize the David Mark faction. That they filed this position before the court does not mean they are right and it doesn’t mean the court must accept their position.

Lol. Are you having a laugh? He was present when all these decisions were taking place in the presence of INEC as his appended signature clearly shows but he was not aware of the proceedings of same meeting that took place in his presence? I have always suspected that he is that slow but don't expect the rest of us to be. In any case, that's his loss. The NEC is the highest decision making organ of any political party. Tell Tinubu to prepare for elections. He must meet his opponents at the ballot whether he likes it or not.

seunmsg:
How can attendance at a meeting mean concurrence to whatever some people pre-planed?

Whatever is even the case, why is ADC refusing to go and defend their decision at the FHC as ordered by the Appeal Court?

That is their prerogative but be rest assured that they will. How would the ADC have become this popular if they had rushed to do so? They needed to show Nigerians and the world, the level of Tinubu's antidemocratic tendencies and desperation. It's an open and shut case. Tell Tinubu to prepare for elections. The document above puts an end to all your shenanigans.

Here's INEC's oath before the court of law affirming that they were present when the ADC NEC ratified Mark and Aregbe as leaders of the party and reminding the courts that no court has jurisdiction over the internal affairs of a party.

Lithiumite:
How come their votes couldn't make buhari president despite their overwhelming support for him,obj bested him and gej too......hope you won't accise any other religious leader supporting tinubu of being payed.

Religious leaders supported Tinubu in 2023. That's why he ran on a muslim-muslim ticket in the first place only to turn around and claim his money made him president. Secondly, Jonathan had overwhelming support from the entire South including the Northcentral. Same as OBJ who also had strong footing across the North. Can you say the same today about Tinubu? He can't even win Lagos convincingly without resorting to "go back to where you came from". Obi is his worst nightmare because he remains the King of the South. There's a reason why Tinubu is so desperate to deny him a platform to contest. The North made Tinubu president but he has betrayed everyone who sold his candidacy, including his loudest voice in the North, Elrufai. Where is Ribadu and co? Why are they not showing workings? Come and chop politicians. Lessons!

Cyberterror:
The governors in the north control the people so President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will win handsomely there. There is no state in the north where President Bola Ahmed Tinubu got less than 100k votes in 2023 even without support of the incumbent President Buhari unlike Peter Obi who was getting 5k, 7k in some states. Jagaban is cruising to another remarkable victory in January.

That was the impact of Elrufai's messaging. Where is Elrufai today? Betrayed and incarcerated. I thought you Tinubu lackeys told us that Northerners didn't vote for the president and he only won because he is Jagaban? Time is a gentleman.

He's welcome to serve his people. He has bowed to pressure. He's being co-opted by the APC thinking they can use Buhari’s son running under the party as proof that Buhari is with the APC, but the same water carriers told us that Buhari never supported Tinubu in 2023. Did he change his mind from the afterlife?

ZombieTERROR:
What's the duty of the commander in chief?, sit down and collect taxes?,
Like he rightly said, no one in their senses will campaign for a glaring failure

The only reason he's desperate for state police is so he can push the blame over to the governors while he continues to focus on tax collection.

Cyberterror:
There are millions of people in their right senses campaigning for Tinubu, starting with your state governor. Tinubu doesn't take advise from mad people like one crook we all know.

Here we go again with the State governor line. Plateau had an APC governor in 2023 but Peter Obi won the presidential elections while PDP won the gubernatorial. How you automatically assume that all electorates who displayed such sophistication in their choices will now support Tinubu just because their governor decamped to APC against their will, is laughable. Why do you all struggle to accept the reality? Most of these governors will even strike a deal with the opposition just to save their own seat. We are already seeing statements suggesting that from the Katsina state governor.

What benefit is Tinubu still expecting to get from running on muslim-muslim ticket in 2027? Doing so will risk jeopardising the little in-road he has made in the Middlebelt without still offering him the support of Northern Muslims, who believes he has betrayed their trust.
