Hamazat or Abode. But I strongly believe Bat will take Hamazat over Abode .. He no dey forgive disloyalty like that..

AMINDA:
Water carriers now create threads out of context and quickly populate it to push a false narrative. The ADC has a Youth Leader who is well-known. Dino was only giving him a shoutout for leading the protest at INEC's headquarters yesterday. Nothing in his tweet suggested he named himself Youth Leader of the ADC but continue to major in the minor.

DrugPRESIDENT01:
We don't roast corn on a super highway here

The main ground work is going on


We leave the distraction to you guys 😁😁😁😁😁

DrugPRESIDENT01:
And so ? Did he say anything like superhighway or bulaba?

Deputy Speaker Benjamin Kalu of the House of Representatives signaled his intention to enter the 2027 Abia governorship race.

Kalu stated that an important announcement about his governorship ambition will be made at the proper constitutional location in Umuahia, the center of the state's political authority.

He said, “I am now in Isialangwa, and they’re saying, ‘Come and run for governor.’ The same way I answered the people of Bende, the same way I answered the people of Obingwa, is the same way I will answer you.

“I have received your request for me to run for governor of Abia state, but I will respond. I will respond in the coming days because I don’t want to do it local government by local government. I want to invite all of you to the capital.

“When we talk about governorship, when we talk about leading the people of Abia State, there is only one place the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has listed as the right place, the right jurisdiction to exercise the power of the office of the governor, and that is not in any other place but Umuahia.

“It will not be in Isialangwa. It will not be in Obingwa or Aba. It will be in Umuahia. So wait for our invitation. We are going to invite you in a few days to come. All of you will come in your numbers and make that request again there at the state capital. When I hear it clearly on that day, I will respond.”

Believeintruth:
What is your business with ADC? But you are in APC naaaaa. Mind your business for once.

In a fiery response to Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Nafiu Bala Gombe has dismissed claims about his age and accused the former Kano governor of acting like an APC mole who has no business interfering in the party’s affairs.

Bala Gombe, said he is not 35 years old as allegedly claimed by Kwankwaso, but 46. He challenged Kwankwaso to conduct proper research before making such assertions.

“Even if I were young, Kwankwaso has no right to look down on me,” Bala Gombe said. He reminded Kwankwaso that he and many of today’s political leaders were themselves very young when they took up major public offices.

Bala Gombe further advised Kwankwaso and other “oldies” in the political space to emulate the same opportunities they enjoyed in their youth by stepping aside for the younger generation.

“They should allow youths to steer the affairs of our parties and the country while they play advisory roles,” he declared.

In a direct and hard-hitting accusation, Gombe described Kwankwaso as “still an APC mole.” He recalled that in 2023, Atiku Abubakar and other northern leaders mobilised Arewa elders to prevail on Kwankwaso to step down for the sake of Arewa votes, but Kwankwaso refused.

“Having refused to step down then, he has no moral justification to bully or advise me on the injustice being done to me by impostors in the ADC,” Bala Gombe said.

He warned Kwankwaso to join the ADC through the proper channel if he wishes to participate, and urged him to familiarise himself with the party’s constitution.

Point-blank, Bala Gombe stated that Kwankwaso is not qualified to intervene in the current crisis because he does not regard him as a member of the ADC.

“I cannot be bullied by anyone,” Bala Gombe added.

ADC altered their Constitution to include this in 2022.

In a NEC meeting of March 2025, ADC resolved to waive the two-year membership registration status to seek office.

ADC Crisis:"...ADC should tell Nigerians the truth... What is the judgment/order that the Appeal Court gave that made ADC go on appeal to the Supreme Court...?

..if the order made was not against them, would they have appealed to the Supreme Court...?"

He said illegal mining and smuggling of minerals were also contributing to insecurity in some parts of the country, as unemployed youths were being recruited into illegal mining operations and criminal activities.

Fusika (SAN) warned that the nation was approaching a dangerous end, especially with pervasive insecurity.

He, however, rallied all Nigerians to unite to tackle the issues facing the country.

Human rights activist Akinola decried what he described as the “incestuous relationship” between the executive and the judiciary.

“Politicians have hijacked the judiciary, and it is dangerous,” he said.

Speaking, NLC President Ajaero argued that Nigeria has been hijacked by a few persons benefitting from the centralised structure.

He spoke in favour of restructuring, devolution of powers, localising resources to decouple the present centralised structure and state police.

On calls for revolution, Ajaero warned that such a move must be organised so that it does not lead to anarchy.

In his remarks, Sowore opined that the President Bola Tinubu administration was driving Nigerians to push for a revolution.

Sowore said, “These are revolutionary times if we take advantage of them. I predicted, when President Bola Tinubu came to power, that he was the one who would lead us to a revolution in Nigeria. It is up to the Nigerian people to take charge of the moment and the opportunity he has provided for the revolution.

“Tinubu is on a highway driving you to a revolution, and you still have not got the message. But he will make it happen because this country cannot escape a revolution.

“Tinubu’s most important duty as President is to drive this country in a revolutionary direction where he, the rest of his colleagues, ministers, and friends will be strangers to the system that they think they brought about, where they think everybody is foolish and in need of handouts.”

The New Nigeria People’s Party, NNPP, has blamed the current leadership crisis in the African Democratic Congress, ADC, on its former presidential candidate, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

This came as the party expressed sympathy with ADC over its challenges.

In a statement issued Thursday in Lagos by its National Secretary, Ogini Olaposi, NNPP said it was “not surprised” by the development, alleging that the situation was a consequence of actions involving Kwankwaso and Buba Galadima.

The reaction followed the announcement by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, that it had withdrawn recognition of the ADC leadership, including David Mark and Rauf Aregbesola as Chairman and Secretary respectively.

INEC said its decision was based on an order of the Court of Appeal directing that the status quo in the party be maintained.

Reacting, NNPP stated: “We are not surprised to note that the leadership of ADC did not know that God is angry with Kwankwaso and Buba Galadima over their attempt to hijack NNPP from the backdoor.”

“Their greatest crime against God is the illegal conversion of the original logo and colour of the NNPP without the consent of the party,” it added.

The party explained that “NNPP was registered in 2001, while Kwankwaso, Buba Galadima and other Kwankwasiya movement members only joined in 2022 at no cost to contest the presidential and other elective positions in 2023.”

It noted: “Kwankwaso lost the presidential election, while his followers won the governorship of Kano State and other elective positions at the state and National Assembly levels.”

NNPP further stated: “God is angry with ADC for admitting Kwankwaso and his followers without him going to apologise to members of NNPP and its leadership.”

The party described the situation as “regrettable,” adding that “ADC should understand that APC and INEC do not have a hand in their ordeal.”

“ADC does not have any reason to support the betrayal attitude, as it cannot claim ignorance of what Kwankwaso and Buba Galadima did to the NNPP, who were nice to them at their time of need,” the statement read.

It advised: “ADC should ask Kwankwaso and Galadima to go and apologise, make peace with members and leadership of NNPP, and seek forgiveness going forward.”

“It does not matter whether they are still in NNPP or not; if they fail to do so, the anger of God shall continue to hurt them,” it added.

NNPP also cautioned ADC “not to allow itself to suffer for an offence committed by someone else.”

The party further alleged that “Kwankwaso was unable to manage success,” adding that he “failed to realise early enough that some of his followers are sympathisers of the APC from the South-West.”
