Where have Nigeria gone from here. All we now have are kleptomaniacs bent on destroyher future.

I don't think it's because they insulted the government. It's probably an investigation to be sure of their purpose of entry.
Given the antecedents of some bad eggs there who are always up to no good.

Ohhh. This warms my heart. Development is good, especially when tax payers money are put to good use.

The family of late general Soleimani have said this lady is not their family and they have no connection except for sharing the same nationality.

Meanwhile, I see nothing bad from the US decision but trying to link her with the late army general sound immature.

Shame and deceit. We know how your religion operates.

Yeah. Career growth in God's grace. 😃😃😃

Yeah. Career growth in God's grace.

This insensitive human needs to spend quality time behind bars. She's a fraud.
My pain is for those who genuinely needs such support but cannot get it.

Hey! Nigerian politicians. And nothing to sure for the FAAC 80% of these states collect.

Emotionally unstable Nigerians don't see this, some even said INEC should have sought clarifications from the APPEALS court on the ruling, like INEC does not have lawyers.
What next, they blame it on the cheapest option available because they are all useless.

They should go and register ADA and dine there. Highjacking like they always did when they were in power. Disgruntled politicians without any progressive ideology but to take power from another useless one ruling.

OredoPikin2:
Dropped from where 🤣🤣🤣🤣
See delusion.
90% of first times voters will vote Obi if is on the ballot
90% of those tired of Tinubu and APC will choose Obi
For every single person that left Obi, more than 10 more people are added to him

An adage said dog wey wan loss no go hear the owner whistle. The ones with emotional intelligence don dey Waka.

A support base that drops everyday due to his association and the fact that he spews contradictory statements around.

Is this news again? Some writeups needs psychiatric evaluation.

Problem nor dey finish for this country? So the President is telling us now that even him is not secured

And Nigerians should take David Mark serious? Nothing wey him talk that if consider. These ppl have no ideology but to retain power and embezzle.

Dont confuse, crookness, bypass or sabotage as politics

Politics is dirty, politics is a game But politics is not chelsea team food poison arsenal players before cup final , then claim you are the best

Politics is a game you will be team effort not by sabotaging the other team even before the match

please get quality education, and never mistake amala politics for the real politics known to the world

This Tinubu politics is peculiar to africa, backward nation, in tanzania that one lock up all opposition run election

In benine republic that one organise coup for himself by himself just to stay in power, is it cameroun president is that one election ... Its fast becoming a trend & pattern democracy is subverted into autocratic rule ... That is not politics its just greed in human

Clean or dv ty, it's been termed politics in this context in Nigeria. Where a scammer is termed as been wise before referred to as fraudulent.

reddingtonblack:
if you understand my earlier point, you wont even bring up the " highlight" ... What do you mean prepared meal

why must it be that every candidate that contested against Tinubu in 2023 must have to re open a Party so they can eligible for 2027 election ... have you not indicted yourself that something beyond normal is definitely wrong

The 1st party to ignite a Revolution in Nig. election is SDP it was formed in 1989... that prepared meal was the party ABIOLA used in '93 the 1st revolution we had . ... Oya tell me i am wrong

e sure me die, as long as you are in APC naa handcap -1

Truly, APC through the AD arm understands opposition politics.

reddingtonblack:
Abegg stop dis " joke " ... To form a new party at what time ?? 1year to election ... the coalition we look up to today as opposition started late 2025, infact peter obi and kwankwaso just accepted membership in 2026 ... do you know what it takes to build structures across 36states under a year

I have heard Tinubu supporters even my friends argue They should have formed a new party nii thats the only right thing ..

MY question in the history of Nigeria which party registered 1yr to election and won the presidency, Did APC register one year to election, please who did ??
There is something called "feasibility" ... It is not just to do it, for a logical person we consider feasibility 1st

When APC members talk i just shake my head, they assume Nigerians are dvmb na only dem wise .... Those shouting new party Did kwankwaso not form his own Party in 2023, just 3yrs where is kwankwaso himself today .. thats tell there is a bigger problem more than " Internal"
If you over 30yrs nobody suppose teach you ... dis is All Tinubu hand, it is how he plays, we follow dis man since 99 naw. Jandor is back to APC 🤣

The only time APC quiver in lagos was against LP, sanwo olu became usher becos they know Tinubu is not the one in control that opposition .. We are not babies we see, we can think for ourselves

Truly you have some good points there, but all the same, are you proving that the opposition sounded and spoilt on the ideology that Nigeria is their property, thus refuse to think outside the box, rather lazy around looking for already prepared meals.
You believe this is the perfect recipe for revolution in politics in Nigeria?

TONYE001:
You call what's ongoing up north communal clash?

I think it's beyond this.

This is wide-scale terrorism championed by Islamic terrorists/extremists.

Me thinks first step is to call it what it is.

An attempt to answer your question - the bulk of the responsibility rests on the president's shoulders.

Sadly, since 1999, we've hardly ever had the right leader.

We are talking about the currycrises in Jos right?

reddingtonblack:
Are you a kid or Are you just intentional to ACT like one

PRE - PRESiDENCY, Who is Tinubu and how does he operate, what is the dilemna of " opposition" around Tinubu for ages

We began our democracy '99 up to 2023 we never had a season ALL potential Opppsition Party will have One problem... From PDP to LP to NNPP to ADC ..are in court over leadership battle ..is that a coincidene. Infact the only reason SDP is not in court is becos they have no prospect

You went to school + AGE ... and you tell me It is ALL coincidences, the oppostion that know how to assemble before 2023 Tinubu is president ALL opposition dont know how to assemble again ... are you allergic to reasoning

How can everybody be having same issue, same problem,
ALL the party in court None as gotten a clear judgement .. Despite timing to election. It is not even clear any will get clear judgement before time runs out

ALL that coincidence, ALL that is just life happening abi ... APC is the only party eligible for election, nd it ALL happen under a Man like Tinubu we know is antecedence 🤣🤣 clap for yourself

If only they were patient enough to form a new party rather than these adoptions leading to leadership tussles. They are playing into the hands of the opposition.

Inspiration2017:
DEDUCTIONS FROM CHIDI ODINKALU'S STATEMENT ON INEC AND THE ADC CRISIS

---

1. BACKGROUND POWER PLAY

The INEC release on derecognising the David Mark-led ADC executive was not a spontaneous institutional decision. Odinkalu reveals it followed an urgent, high-level meeting involving INEC leadership, the Presidency, the Court of Appeal, and the Federal High Court within a very compressed 60-hour window. This signals that the matter had escalated to the highest levels of Nigeria's executive and judicial establishment before INEC acted.

---

2. THE RESIGNATION LETTER AS A LEVERAGE TOOL

Odinkalu claims, with apparent confidence, that INEC Chairman Joash Amupitan had signed a resignation letter as a precondition for his appointment — effectively meaning he has been governing on borrowed time at the pleasure of those who installed him. The implicit message is that Amupitan did not act freely; he was pressured into issuing the release by powerful principals who invoked that letter as a threat. This fundamentally undermines the credibility and independence of the INEC release.

---

3. INEC OVERSTEPPED ITS MANDATE

Odinkalu argues, pointedly, that it is constitutionally and institutionally improper for INEC to interpret a Court of Appeal judgment. That is the exclusive preserve of the courts. If INEC was uncertain about what the judgment required, good-faith institutional conduct demanded it return to the Court of Appeal for a formal interpretation or clarification — not issue a unilateral press release acting on its own reading of the ruling. INEC's action therefore appears either legally reckless or deliberately opportunistic.

---

4. POLITICAL AND ELECTORAL IMPLICATIONS FOR 2027

Odinkalu frames the ADC crisis not merely as a party dispute but as a democratic stress test ahead of the 2027 elections. His phrase "the country stares down a barrel" suggests he sees the incident as symptomatic of a deeper institutional rot — where independent electoral bodies can be pressured into abandoning their mandate. He implicitly warns that only those willing to either enable, tolerate, or directly challenge this pattern will have real stakes in the 2027 electoral contest.

---

5. A SUBTLE BUT SHARP REBUKE OF AMUPITAN

The closing line — "As for Joash Amupitan....!!" — while deliberately unfinished, carries a heavy insinuation. It conveys a mixture of disappointment, contempt, and resignation about a man who, despite his legal standing as a professor of law and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, allowed himself to be used as an institutional instrument by political actors. The ellipsis functions as a verdict in itself.

---

OVERALL THESIS

Odinkalu's reaction paints a picture of a compromised INEC leadership acting under political duress, misreading or deliberately misapplying a court decision to serve the interests of those in power, and in doing so, corroding the institutional integrity that Nigeria desperately needs ahead of 2027. The deeper warning is about the fragility of democratic structures when the individuals heading key institutions are themselves bound by private political obligations.

There's one thing to use A.I, another is to understand the output. I hope you know that?

The interpretation of the court was clear enough.

The Governor is actually friendly. At least this one nor be reelection boli.

Galactics:
Then there won't be any election in 2027 and there won't be anyone occupying the Aso rock. This is the height of tyranny. Nigerians won't accept this.

Tyranny or court process. Let the supreme Court decide who the real party leadership is. See bro. Don't waste your energy on these politicians, the ones in and ones out are all dubious...

Haha. Obi cooking what he can't eat eventually...

This is good from Portable. It's time the World really awaken to the madness of these Fulani bandits killing under the guise of what the world know as farmer herder clashes, that it's not that but a deliberate crime to Islamise Nigeria.
Aside the prayers, vigils, because you are not where the heat is doesn't mean it can't get to you.
As for Buhari, I hope he's roasting in hell.

The Natasha Effect. He has outgrown his senses.

yomi531:
Abeg oo. I don't understand oo. North this, north that. A united south, plus middle belt always wins against them. That's why I want Atiku to clinch the ADC ticket so , we can shame them. Their bragging dey vex me.

Funny enough, the Christians in the North don't tolerate this nonsense...

Arewa source or whatever they call themselves should go and rest. Yes it might seem political, but it's the right thing the Judiciary is doing based on the allegations.
If it was the military era, who cares about his mother's death?

TONYE001:
You call what's ongoing up north communal clash?

I thought we were discussing Jos.

Over 70% of your masses are below the world poverty line and this is the time he chose to do this? Little or no social safety net ....
God help this country.

I weep for my country. Corruption by our useless leaders is so deep. Rather than waste that money on the useless NNPC refineries, why not build reservoirs?
Clueless, corrupt, selfish and self centered leaders. Both the ones in power and the ones outside trying to grab. They are all diseases.
