alobright17: if the genesis of the problem is about not keeping to an agreed settlement within the party why then do you turn around to blame it on APC ?
If ADC has kept to their promise will this issue come up in the first place ?
Why do you think that this APC/PDP flip flopping former senator and sexual harassment villain is telling you the truth
NgeneUkwenu: Fergie001. I pity this your new party! .
Anything Peter Obi touches, turns rotten.
Should sensible Nigerian’s be more concerned with how everything JagaBandeet touches turns rotten?
He touched Lagos with higher tax burden since 1999, and made government services and public utilities so rotten that people are now drinking kwashiorkor-inducing shitty water.
Macphenson: See how NADECO members were fighting Abacha.
Tinubu is a serial betrayer of Yorubas, southerners and all Nigerians due to his greed and selfishness.
Did he not get Yorubas to believe that PDP and Jonathan were marginalising them after selling out the No. 4 position to Fulani politician, before using another Fulani to make Jonathan a one term president, thereby ending 16 years of PDP prosperity, cheap petrol, less corruption, less insecurity, less unemployment etc?
It’s interesting that Obasanjo’s liberal Fulani vice refused to make him a one term president in 2003, despite northern pressure.
2003 was the first time that Buhari asked for the job of president and failed
anonimi: How we foiled Jonathan’s effort to make Mulika Adeola Speaker, Akande reveals
AS president in 2011, Goodluck Jonathan did all he could to ensure South West grabbed the country’s number four seat, including lobbying then opposition leaders from the zone, to no avail. The North West eventually grabbed the seat, supported by South West leaders in opposition to then ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Former Governor of Osun State and now statesman, Chief Bisi Akande, made this revelation in his autobiography, “My Participations” which is currently dominating political and national dis- course.
Aminu Tambuwal, now Sokoto State governor, won the seat, against the preferred pick of his party, Mrs Mulikat Adeola Akande, from the South-West. Defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, then a fledging opposition, which had Akande and his soulmate, former Lagos State governor, Senator Bola Tinubu, as front- line leaders, openly asked its elected members of the House of Representatives, mostly from the South-West, to work against their region and back Tambuwal from North-West.
The opposition party’s support carried Tambuwal through the contest against Akande, then ruling party’s favourite for the speakership seat.
In his book, Chief Akande revealed that former president then as incumbent, personally reached out to Tinubu, who is now believed to be nursing presidential aspiration in 2023 and himself, but couldn’t convince them.
He wrote, “President Jonathan, immediately after the meeting (with political parties), called Bola Tinubu aside into a lobby to broach the matter of ACN support for a choice of who would become the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
“That same day, President Jonathan talked to me on phone about the same matter. He disclosed that PDP had zoned the position to the South-West but that only one Muraina and another Mulika won elections on PDP ticket from the zone into the House of Representatives.
Prospect of a possible alliance between the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN and Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, was dashed yesterday in Kano as the leader of the party and former governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Ahmed Bola Tinubu described CPC as parading “expired leadership.”
Tinubu told ACN supporters in Kano during the party’s Presidential rally that: “What Nigerians need now is a transformation in leadership” as obtained in the advanced economy.
The two-term Governor of Lagos State explained that the leadership of ACN was offering Nigeria the brilliance of Nuhu Ribadu who, he said, is in the class of Nicolas Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain, Medvedev of Russia and Barack Obama of the United States of America.
“What has CPC got to offer? We certainly don’t need expired leadership as we are offering the best in terms of brilliance, courage and patriotism in the class of Sarkozi of France, David Cameron of Britain and Barack Obama of the USA.”
Tinubu’s position came on the heels of Ribadu’s declaration penultimate week in Kaduna when he hinted during a political rally of a joint ticket between the two opposition parties to confront the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The national leader of ACN criticised President Goodluck Jonathan for shying away from the national debate held last Friday, stressing that”that singular act exposed Jonathan as a coward who has nothing to offer.”
Was Tinubu not in opposition for years? Tell me one thing that the party you supported, Obj / PDP, did not do to Tinubu, to perish him?
Tinubu is a soft dude at heart. I didn’t know this until after 2023. You and your fellow losers should be thankful that Tinubu is not Obj… Imagine it was under Obj that your Agulu fraaud called a pastor, and be telling the pastor that our national Election is a religious war..
Tinubu is not hard on oppositions, nah dem oppositions dey looseguard..
Y’all need to be thankful to Tinubu..
Did Obasanjo and PDP compromise the judiciary as Tinubu and APC are doing
iwaeda: Wike Boasts Of Helping APC Use Judiciary To Kill Osun LG Funds Case, Warns Party Leaders Against Ingratitude
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly boasted that he assisted certain elements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in deploying the judiciary to frustrate the Osun State local government allocation lawsuit.
In a video now circulating widely on social media and obtained by SaharaReporters, Wike made the claim while addressing a crowd in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The former Rivers governor accused the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, of benefitting from judicial actions against the Osun State Government without knowing those who did the work behind the scenes.
The suit in question led to the withholding of local government funds in Osun State, a development widely seen as targeting the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as opposition in the state.
Wike, who spoke angrily, suggested that the court action supporting the APC’s position against the Osun government did not happen by chance, boasting that powerful political forces worked quietly to ensure the outcome.
“Don’t take our support for Mr President for granted,” Wike warned, in an apparent message to APC leaders defending Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “You have to be careful about the statements you make. You have to be very careful.”
He accused Basiru of political ingratitude, claiming the APC was enjoying in Osun State without understanding who engineered their advantage.
“Today, you are enjoying in Osun. You don’t know those who did the work,” Wike said. “You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State.”
DeOTR: When you become president, you can decide to start funding opposition parties against yourself.
ADC member took another ADC member to court, but everyone is blaming Tinubu, Court and INEC for that. Make it make sense please. And, must D. Mark be the party chairman at this point in time?
If PDP was this dictatorial, would Obasanjo not have got his 3rd term for life president
Ballmer: Same Tinubu that single-handedly financed NADECO which brought back democracy to Nigeria ?
Where were your Obi Atiku n Kwakwaso when Tinubu was investing heavily in democracy.
He joined NADECO in frustration because Abacha refused to give him a job.
He financed the group with proceeds of his Chicago drug trafficking, which Reno talked about in his documentary film.
anonimi: My dad, victim of complex conspiracy – Kola Abiola
What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?
At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.
That is Tinubu?
Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.
He wanted to be a commissioner?
Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.
Was Tinubu very close to MKO?
Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.

OLOKOESHIN: You see life Where is Olagunsoye now? Ayederu is now the president Fate is truly written from the above Politics is truly bitter
Where is Nigeria now, compared to where it was when Oyinlola’s PDP deregulation and privatisation policies gave us 16 years of widespread prosperity, less insecurity, less corruption, less debt burden etc?
princeade86: Every sane Nigerians know the script they playing
So why is every sane Nigerian allowing this to happen?
Is it because sane Nigerians are not a critical mass group of decision makers in the country?

This is the same nonsense Sowore and Deji is doing,
Always attacking members of other opposition parties and claiming not to be members of APC.
What kind of Hypocrisy is this?
Why can't this fools behave like real men and be proud of who they are supporting?

The nonsense that Sheriff predicted some years ago
anonimi: No room for Wike, Fayose in PDP again —Sheriff
Also reacting to the judgment, its apparent beneficiary, Senator Sheriff, vowed to put in place a machinery that would not give room to people like Governors Nyesom Wike and Ayodele Fayose of Rivers and Ekiti states, respectively in any future arrangement in the party.
“I will engineer a restructuring of PDP such that characters like Wike and Fayose cannot find a way through to attain any position of prominence in our party in the future. They have brought shame and agony through the application of their crude and godless politics which is at variance with the principles upon which our founding fathers built our great party.
“We must find a way to sieve things so that only men of character and integrity can come through for positions of responsibility at all levels of our political engagement in the country.
“We must urgently steer the ship of PDP clear of the path of infamy which Wike and Fayose has brought our party, making Nigerians to mistaken PDP as a training ground for thugs. That is the urgent task we have. We cannot continue to advertise thug brand and expect Nigerians to take us seriously,” he said.
greatseed: As the saying goes, we are not all perfect, some of us know the president means well, while some can never know or understand forever. It’s not their fault either.
May God help us all with the right thinking, wisdom & knowledge to understand how things work.
How does Tinubu mean well for Lagosians, with less than 5% public schools ratio despite increasing budget 100 times from the sacrifice of the people in higher tax burdens
johngwain: Them dey hold rally for failure (tinubu), meanwhile hunger dey blow them, make tinubu do mistake come back, them go dey chop stone... Fuuls
If Lagosians are happy with the city boy despite making them drink shitty water, after 27 years of raising budget 100 times to N4.2 trillion, then how is Tinubu a failure in politics?
ebuk4real: Yorubas go ever regret supporting this Buffon of a president and this might possibly be the very last time a Yoruba will ever be a president of this country...
The SE won’t regret helping him win, after Utomi lured Obi away from PDP
jameshankss: Arguing that Obi’s presidential bid would only work in favour of Tinubu, Soludo said, “Indeed, if I were Asiwaju Tinubu, I would even give Peter Obi money as someone heading one of the departments of his campaign, because Obi is making Tinubu’s pathway to victory much easier by indirectly pulling down PDP.”
Obi, according to Soludo, would only deplete the votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and pave the path for an APC victory.
He stated, “The current fleeting frenzy, if not checked, will cost Ndigbo dearly for years. The South-east has the lowest number of votes of any region, but it is also the only region where the presidential race might be a four-way race (it is a two-way race in the other five regions) thereby, ensuring that our votes won’t count in the making of the next president of Nigeria.
Stanna2025: The downfall of this drunk and Tinubu will be televised....
Who the gods wants to destroy they first make them mad. Take for instance Nebuchadnezzar who taught he was heaven and all powerful but was reduced to an ordinary animal, check Hitler, check abacha, check Nero etc. everyone who allowed power intoxicate them ended in disgrace. That's nature for you
The gods are with him and no downfall is happening to him, with judges living in the houses he built for them, while owing workers and denying children access to their schools.
Emu4life: Wetin Concern Wike with ADC? This drunkard should mind his business
He is just showing off his ability to destroy opposition to Tinubu with the aid of corrupt and compromised judges.

Nairaland lawyers have resumed their overdrive once again, like how they pushed LP into a pit. Infact, they all supported Abure against Lamidi Apapa, insulted the old man and even tore his cloth. The same Abure whom they are accusing of being an APC mole now.
These Nairaland SANs pushed Makinde's PDP faction into a pit and then ran away, leaving him hanging.
Now, it's the turn of ADC. I'm happy to inform them that we will be here watching and waiting with our popcorn as usual to see the end of this film.
But as for me and my family, may God drive away from us those people whose support always end in failure.
Once upon a time when we had not only a flourishing economy but also a thriving democracy.
