Sugarboyy:
Maybe you will have to tell me how politics is being played. To the best of my political knowledge, Tinubu is the best when it comes to keeping political agreement and appreciating loyalty. Again, Tinubu doesn't need Uzodinma or the S/E for whatever reason when he wins second term, so there's no need picking Uzodinma for the purpose of pacifying the S/E.
We in Edo APC already knows Oshiomhole is the next SP according to Tinubu.

Okay bro..but why did Akpabio trying to sideline him

yarimo:
Hahahaha GEJ please hurry up hurry up and pick the form

If he picks it..and starts making wave you will start hating him

Sugarboyy:
Tinubu won't allow Oshiomhole? All these emergency lovers of Tinubu and APC, I hail una. Do you think Oshiomhole attacked Akpabio recently on behalf of Uzodinma? Or you think if Oshiomhole had not voiced out and immediately reported the issue to Tinubu, Tinubu would have asked that the order be rescinded?
For your information, aside Yorubas, Tinubu knows his most diehard lover and supporter is Oshiomhole. Oshiomhole has been following Tinubu since 2006 right from AC to ACN and to APC. It was Oshiomhole that brought Tinubu party to the whole of SS, when all the Akpabio, Hope, Wike and others were in PDP

That’s not how politics is being played
Calm down

Helinues. Your post all get deleted
I love that

happney65:
But can Hope become SP? A first timer? I doubt it. Or maybe it is for Oshiomole

Btw,wetin Akapbio do wey they wan comot am in case they win next election

He is not a first timer…Go and check
And Tinubu won’t allow Oshiomole..

LagosOrigin:
Kenneth, you're not a politician, you can never be regarded as a politician no matter how hard you try to appear like one.

Let him vie for Ordinary Councilor and see how it looks

Everybody can talk to Peter Obi anyhow and he enjoys it..
Later Peter Obi will reply like this Kenneth Okonkwo is my brother 😂😂😂😂

So much of unity!

Yes..He has the right to join a party
He can decide to defect to any party tomorrow
E no concern you bro

SuperEagles:
1. Even those with dead brains knows Tinubu turn around an economy servicing debt with over 90% of it income to one doing that with less than 40% in less than 3 years.

2. From 1999 till date, add all the KM of Highway previous presidents constructed n in less than 3 years Tinubu as surpassed that altogether.

Only fools will be aware of this glaring fact n still be asking anyone who Tinubu as dine when what he as done is staring you in the face across the length n breath of Nigeria.

Baseless statement
You are still crying inside you

Putinofrussia:
If they show you President Tinubu massive infrastructures,Nelfund,Credit Scheme,Free Technical colleges,Free maternal services etc,you will still wail that it is #1000 per bag rice that you want.
Very pathetic.
Tinubu is winning with a landslide in 2027.

Agbado is talking through you
Your comment was baseless

Seeplusplus:
No, you bury your head in shame.
From APGA to PDP to LP to ADC to NDC
Anywhere there's storm, he runs to the next available platform.

Naso e go de run like chicken when boko haram start de terrorise Nigeria.

We say no to a coward

That’s his right
I wonder why you are crying
Focus on your party

HacheNoire:
Based on the violence that erupted at the convention, it is professional and mandated that, INEC should call for another convention and annul the current one.

NDC should be ordered to have an abiding agreement and conduct another convention 6 months from date of issue.

Cry cry baby
I want to see your mummy 😂😂
What has Tinubu achieved for the past 3 years other than using Court to stop oppositions.. Seriake is smarter than him

Avedonn:
Peter Obi does not fully understand the political dynamics in the North. The core northern states will not vote for a joint ticket with Kwankwaso, as they view Kwankwaso as a spoiler. Just observe carefully, how many states does Kwankwaso actually command followers in, aside from Kano and parts of Jigawa? How many politicians have defected from other parties to the NDC from the North since he left the ADC? The NDC has no grassroots presence in the North.

Atiku will also face challenges, as he may not achieve the required spread in the South. So, in my opinion, the odds favor Tinubu. Although he is not widely popular, his party has the necessary geographical spread.

Is that another excuse?
I thought Amaechi is there

Apc data boys will come to this thread to find another excuse.
They are disappointed..

Please can someone ask them what Tinubu has achieved for the past 3 years other than pursuing Peter Obi..
If Peter Obi joins Birthday Party I will follow him jeje

TimeManager:
You agreed because by your sharing formula, you have been promised the ticket for 2031. Laughable. Those Northern elites that Peter Obi has disappointed in ADC, what they will do to him in the North when campaign starts, I could only pity him in advance.

Congrats to President Tinubu on your re-election. God bless Nigeria.

-Kiss the truth!

Bro you are confused
You don’t know what to say again

Cajal:
Kwankeanso retirement is near
Obi has already been retired
2027 l
Lessons go learn

Bro go and hustle oo
Stop crying

yarimo:
Congratulations to president TINUBU in advance as president elect in 2027 presidential election.

Now you are talking
Where is Bala the Chiarman of ADC
Call him now

Felabrity:
Many assumed Peter Obi had abandoned his 2027 presidential ambitions to become Atiku's VP in the ADC party. However, he was secretly negotiating with Kwankwaso to join forces within ADC while simultaneously exploring alternative party options.

Notably, Obi had been meeting with Serieke Dickson before Dickson's formation of the NDC party. This strategic maneuvering with Dickson aimed to create a contingency plan, anticipating potential party instability and APC's attempts to disrupt, as well as Atiku's likely bid for the ticket.

True to his word, Obi secured a spot on the ballot, solidifying his presidential run.

Apc urchins are crying bitterly

seanfer:
The last presidential media chat was on 24th December 2024 and not 2015 as claimed by the OP.....

And you are happy with that
Shame unto you
You can’t even defend Tinubu

APC urchins will start crying
They talk a lot
Ask them what Tinubu has done for the past 3 years they won’t answer anything

madridguy:
Tinubu supporters no get business for ADC convention... Obi and Kwankwaso followers should face each other and leave Tinubu out of the fight happening there.

Why not face your party
You have been commenting on every NDC thread..
Stop crying please

Jayhome24:
Hahahahahaha coming where?

Oga if e sure put your cash on the table for a bet na any amount let's go for it. I dey wait for you biko let's do it. I swear to heaven if obi win any state in Sw and the North I will double the bet cash for you infact in SE and SE wd go pieces his votes and he won't get any state.

Let's go for it if you be man.

Same obi is coming you said in 2023 and was beaten blue black to far 3rd position...

Oga I promise you
You go cry Taya

Seeplusplus:
What principled people do is to form a political party, nurture and grow it into a national platform where like minds can contest elections. Principled men don't jump from one party to the other and telling everyone to step down for them to emerge as candidates.

Obi is just a desperate man and he'll never smell that sit.

You guys will cry blood

You are really confused already bro
Now your head in shame

richmond500:
Opposition is making the same mistake they made in 2023.

In the beginning of this year, we thought they learned from their mistake but somehow, they allowed emotions, ego and personal interest to cloud their judgement.

You sabi politics well oo
What are you doing here it’s your wisdom ?
Go and buy form

Shivisee1:
If not for delusion and trauma! I did my research on obi and kwankwaso, I realise that he is a way better administrator, more detribalize, more educated than obi. Say both of them are coming out for election, will obi see half of kwankwaso”s vote ??

What do you smoke?
Please tell me

FSBoperator:
It was Kwankwasso's aide that started the lie that the NDC had zoned their presidential ticket to the south sometime in early May at which point both your Giringori and Kwankwasso had yet to defect to NDC.

That lie was circulated by Buba Galadima who wasn't even in the NDC when he made that statement and it is now obvious it was a ploy to get Giringori to defect to the NDC.

Now the authentic National Spokesperson for the NDC has refuted those claims and stated on May 8th this last Friday , that no such agreement had been reached by the NDC.

So pls, can you tell us if Buba Galadima who wasn't in the NDC and is not even an appointed spokesperson of the party will make such blatant lie and why you guys and your Giringori all fell for it ?

Since you have confirmed
You need to rest

numericalguy:
The biggest project Tinubu completed was destroying Peter Obi political career permanently

Obi Obi kerere nke
Obi is trending

A Certified True Copy (CTC) of the judgement of the apex court on the leadership tussle in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has revealed how the faction loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, lost out in the battle for the party’s soul.

But in a swift reaction, the Abdulrahman Mohammed leadership of the party said that the purported CTC of the recent Supreme Court judgement is not officially released. He also insisted that the Supreme Court judgement recognised him as PDP National Chairman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the National Secretary.

According to the CTC sighted by THISDAY yesterday, the apex court unanimously dismissed the cross appeal brought by Wike, alongside the main appeal by the Tanimu Turaki-led faction said to be loyal to the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde.
“The Cross-Appeal is in the circumstance of the Main Appeal, dismissed.

“Cross-Appeal Dismissed,” Justice Stephen Adah, held in the CTC, which was released to the public barely one week of the judgement.
It would be recalled that the Makinde faction had emerged from the party’s convention held last November in Ibadan with Turaki as National Chairman, while the Wike faction emerged from the March convention in Abuja, with Abdulrahman Mohammed as National Chairman.

Following the March 9 judgement of the Court of Appeal which nullified the Ibadan convention, on grounds that the convention held in flagrant disobedience of the orders of the Federal High Court, Abuja, the Turaki leadership had approached the apex court to set aside the judgement of the lower court on grounds among others that the appellate court erred in law when it agreed with the Federal High Court, Abuja, that the case before it was outside the internal affairs of political parties and hence the court has jurisdiction to intervene.

But, it was not only the Turaki faction that has problem with the judgement of the appellate court, taking into cognizance the cross appeal filed by the Wike faction.

The cross appeal specifically set out to reverse the unanimous judgement of the Court of Appeal, which on March 9, affirmed the suspension of the party’s Legal Adviser, Kamaldeen Ajibade, SAN.

Wike Camp Takes Control Of PDP Secretariat As Turaki Faction Alleges Contempt Of Court
The Turaki faction had approached the appellate court to challenge the judgement of Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja, which on October 31, 2025, restrained the PDP from proceeding with the convention slated for November 15 and 16, 2025, until it conduct proper congresses in areas congress was allegedly not held, as well as another judgement of Justice Peter Lifu, which on November 14, barred the PDP from conducting the said convention until an aspirant, the former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, was allowed to purchase nomination form and participate in the convention.

At the hearing of the appeal, Ajibade who was recognised by Justice Omotosho as the legal representative of the PDP at the trial court had objected to Chief Chris Uche, SAN representing the PDP, insisting he is the one clothed with legal authority to represent the PDP at the appeal.
However, his objection was dismissed on account of his suspension from the PDP. “By leave of this Court, the appellant placed before the Court as fresh evidence the Notice evidencing the suspension of A.K. Ajibade, SAN as National Legal Adviser of the appellant on November 1, 2025. That evidence was duly admitted pursuant to the principles governing reception of fresh evidence on appeal as restated by the Supreme Court.
“The legal effect of that fresh evidence is that, as at December 10, 2025 when Appeal No. CA/ABJ/1728/2025 was purportedly filed by A.K. Ajibade, SAN, he had ceased to hold the office of National Legal Adviser of the appellant. An agent whose authority has been lawfully terminated cannot bind the principal.

“Accordingly, any process filed in the name of the appellant by a person who had ceased to possess the authority to act on its behalf is incompetent,” the appellate court had held.

Wike’s faction in its bid to prevent an alleged vacuum at the expiration of the tenure of the Ambassador Iliya Damagun-led PDP had inaugurated a national caretaker committee led by Abdulrahman Mohammed as chairman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu as Secretary.

Anyanwu as scribe of the PDP played a crucial and constitutional role in the appointment of Abdulrahman Mohammed as Acting National Chairman of a faction of the PDP, and was also a member of the National Caretaker Working Committee that organised the March 28 and 29 National Convention, that produced the current national officers of PDP, said to be loyal to the FCT, Wike.

Specifically, Anyanwu had signed the letter to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) appointing Abdulrahman Mohammed as acting National Chairman on November 3, 2025, while under suspension.

Therefore, going by the appellate court’s judgement which voided all actions taken by Ajibade under suspension, it implies that the inauguration of the caretaker committee as well as March convention in Abuja which produced the Mohammed-led leadership is a nullity because Anyanwu lacked the legal authority to undertook all those actions while his suspension subsists.

Since, the apex court dismissed the appeal by the Wike faction, it simply means that the appellate court judgement affirming Ajibade’s suspension and by extension that of Anyanwu, National Organising Secretary, Bature Umar and National Auditor, Okechukwu Osuoha from the PDP subsists.

Anyanwu’s suspension and subsequent expulsion from the PDP is pending, at the Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal. Anyanwu in the Notice of Appeal filed on April 10, 2026 by his lawyer, K. C. O. Njemanze, SAN, is praying the appellate court to set aside the judgement of the lower court and annul the recommended expulsion from the party.

In the nine grounds notice of appeal, Anyanwu argued that Justice Halilu erred in law when he held and declared that, “the plaintiff’s failure to exhaust the internal remedies provided by the PDP constitution rendered his suit premature and incompetent, “and the jurisdiction of this court is thereby ousted.”

In another ground, the appellant submitted that the trial court erred when it when it held that the plaintiff’s claims do not fall within any recognised exception, adding that, “claimant invites the court to determine the propriety of acts undertaken by an organ of a political party pursuant to its constitution. This court cannot do that.”

Amongst the reliefs sought include an order allowing the appeal, set aside the order of the lower court striking out plaintiff’s suit and, “to enter judgment in favour of the appellant”.

The Chief Ikimi seven-member Committee had on March 10, 2025 recommended the expulsion of Senator Anyanwu from the PDP for anti-party activities following findings arising from petitions by some party members. The NDC Report indicated that Anyanwu declined to appear before the committee.

Displeased, Anyanwu had instituted legal action against the NDC and the former NWC led by Ambassador Iliya Umar Damagun at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

In the suit marked: CV/1050/2025, Anyanwu had prayed the court to set aside the findings, decision and recommendation of the Committee on the ground that it lacked competence to determine allegations made against him.

He further urged the court to invalidate the decision of the committee claiming that it constituted a violation of his fundamental right to fair hearing under the constitution of the PDP.

But, the court in its verdict dismissed the case for want of jurisdiction on the ground that Anyanwu’s claims are non-justiciable intra-party disputes while also affirming that they lacked merit.

The judge held that, “a careful examination of the Originating Summons, the affidavit in support thereof and the documentary exhibits relied upon by the plaintiff shows that the plaintiff failed to establish any basis upon which this Court can interfere with the disciplinary proceedings of the 2nd defendant.

“The evidence before the court discloses that the plaintiff was duly invited to appear before the National Disciplinary Committee of the 2nd defendant but failed to take advantage of the opportunities afforded him. It is settled in law that a party who deliberately refuses or neglects to utilise an opportunity to be heard cannot subsequently complain of denial of fair hearing.

“Furthermore, the plaintiff did not demonstrate that the National Disciplinary Committee acted outside the powers conferred on it by the Constitution of the 2nd defendant nor did he show that the procedures adopted were fundamentally defective or in breach of natural justice. Courts do not act as appellate bodies over the internal disciplinary mechanism of voluntary associations, once the procedure adopted substantially complies with the rules governing such bodies.

“The plaintiff, having alleged illegality, bias and unconstitutionally failed to place sufficient material before this court to justify the extraordinary intervention of the Court in the internal affairs of the 2nd defendant,” the Court held.

The apex court had in a split decision of three-to-two voided the convention that produced the Turaki-led faction on the grounds that it was conducted in blatant disobedience of a valid court order.

Justice Stephen Adah, who delivered the lead majority judgement disclosed that upon their perusal of the record of appeal, the apex court found the issue of disobedience which was not disputed by any party in the appeal.

According to the apex court, rather than appealing the judgement of the trial court which restrained them from proceeding with the November 15 and 16 National Convention, the appellants “went forum shopping” to get a favourable order from a court of coordinate jurisdiction, and only appeal the judgement after the convention has been held.

While stressing that orders of court remains binding until they are set aside, Justice Adah held that, “when a party refuses to obey the orders of a court, he must not be heard by the court,” adding that this type of abuse of court is unpardonable.

“Accordingly, any litigant who engages in abuse of court process does so at his peril. The court must, in clear and unmistakable terms, condemn such conduct and take decisive steps to preserve the integrity of the judicial system.

“Abuse of court process is not a mere irregularity; it is a fundamental defect that robs the proceedings of legitimacy and renders them liable to summary termination.

“The appellant abused the process of the court to conduct the party Convention.

“The Party Convention of the appellant conducted on November 15 and 26, 2025, in defiance of the subsisting order of the Federal High Court in its judgement delivered on November 14, 2025, in Suit No: FHC/ABJ/CS/2299/20285, is null, void and of no effect and consequence.

“It is accordingly nullified.

“Having resolved the only issue raised against the appellant, the appeal is lacking in merit.

“The appeal is accordingly dismissed. Parties are to bear their respective costs.

“Appeal dismissed.

“The Cross-Appeal is in the circumstance of the decision in the main appeal, dismissed,” the apex court held.

Meanwhile, a astatement by Haruna Mohammed Jungudo, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, said that the document currently in circulation was not officially released by the Supreme Court.

He said that a careful examination of the purported CTC reveals that it falls short of the established requirements for proper certification of official court documents.

According to Jungudo, ”The pages were neither duly certified, stamped, nor signed by any authorised court officer in accordance with legally recognised procedures.”

However, the spokesman of the the party said, ”assuming without conceding that the said CTC was officially released by the Supreme Court, we make bold to state that the contents of the judgement further affirm the defeat suffered by Kabiru Turaki and others from the Federal High Court up to the Supreme Court.

”The contents of the purported Certified True Copy have conclusively exposed the falsehoods and deliberate misinformation circulated by certain individuals regarding the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

”Contrary to the misleading narratives being promoted in some sections of the media and political space, the Supreme Court did not suspend Senator Samuel Anyanwu or any member of the party leadership. The apex court also did not direct the PDP Board of Trustees (BoT) to assume control of the party, neither did it declare any vacuum within the party structure.

”We challenge anyone to point to any portion of the judgement where such pronouncements were made.

”The judgement was explicit, clear, and unambiguous. It is therefore disappointing that despite the circulation of the said CTC, some individuals have continued to deliberately distort its contents in pursuit of narrow political interests and personal relevance.

”Those who hurriedly misinterpreted the judgement and misled the public should, by now, acknowledge that their claims were unfounded. Nigerians have now seen the contents of the judgement and can clearly distinguish facts from propaganda.

”What certain individuals continue to promote in the media space is merely the minority opinion contained in the judgment, which upheld the appeal. However, the majority decision of the Supreme Court remains the binding and authoritative judgment of the court,” Jungudo stated.

He stressed further, ”we further state that Senator Samuel Anyanwu as party to the suit, did not file any cross-appeal challenging issues relating to suspension or expulsion. In fact, following the dismissal of the main appeal, the Supreme Court held that in such a circumstance, there was no need to delve into the merits of the cross-appeal and accordingly dismissed it.

“It is important to clarify that the cross-appeal merely challenged the locus of Mr. Chris Uche, SAN, to represent the party as legal counsel. The cross-appeal had absolutely nothing to do with any purported suspension or expulsion of any former national officers of the party.

”Nigerians must therefore ask: if truly the judgement was in favour of those now parading themselves as victors, why did Governor Bala Mohammed not remain to contest elections under their so-called Interim National Working Committee but instead move to the Allied Peoples Movement (APM)? Similarly, why is Governor Seyi Makinde not remaining under the leadership structure of Kabiru Tanimu Turaki’s INWC they claim was legally constituted but rather encouraging his supporters as at yesterday to align elsewhere? These actions clearly expose the reality of the situation.”

Jungudo said that the media, as critical stakeholders in democracy, must rise above sensationalism and ensure accurate, balanced, and professional reporting of judicial pronouncements, especially on matters capable of affecting public confidence and political stability. “Public analysts and commentators who issued incorrect interpretations of the Supreme Court ruling should demonstrate integrity by retracting their statements and apologising to the PDP and the Nigerian public.”

Accordingly, Jungudo said, ”We call on all patriotic and loyal party members to continue supporting the activities of the party without fear or uncertainty. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has not, at any point in time, recognised any persons as leaders of the PDP other than Abdulrahman and Senator Samuel Anyanwu up to this moment.”

The party reassured all aspirants that the PDP will participate in the 2027 General Elections without any legal challenges.

This is one of too many numerous lies being peddled by the Obidient 2k mob.

Pls, I will need clarification on when the NDC zoned their Presidential ticket to the south.

Call the chairman and ask him
