I keep laughing at the online warriors all over social media declaring victory for Peter Obi and Labour Party when the party itself is disorganised at all levels.

So my older friend who is based abroad but has been involved in various philanthropic work in his state decided to join politics and add value to governance in his federal constituency. He had thought that since LP was making so much noise online, they may be the party to consider considering their supposed closeness to the aspiration of the masses.

He did all he could to get a membership card for LP. He even asked me to help him reach out to the Chairman of the party at the state level (a South Western state), I called the so-called Chairman after getting his number through a family friend, he refused to pick, return calls nor reply messages till date.

I decided to go online, got four numbers from the LP official website, all of them were switched off till date (anyone can confirm this), we sent mails to their official email as provided on their website, yet there was no response till date.

Did a couple of Google search, and called several numbers online provided through the search but they were either switched off or wrong numbers.

My friend got discouraged and decided to reach out to another party - Accord Party. He got registered as a member but unfortunately, they had selected a house of rep candidate for that constituency based on consensus. It is important to tell you all that up till the deadline yesterday, LP has no house of rep candidate nor house of assembly candidate for where my friend came from. Being someone already known in his constituency for his philanthropic works despite residing outside the country plus his passion for good governance and empowerment of youths, he would have been a good candidate for LP.

How can a party having most of its supporters ONLINE not have a proper and reliable means of communicating with the public or prospective members? For a while now, I have stood on the fence about PO and LP, but without sentiments, I can objectively tell you that LP is not ready for national assembly/state assembly/gubernatorial elections, talk more of Presidential elections.

During our search, I stumbled on several tweets on twitter asking how they can access their ward chairman or state chairman of LP to register as members. Days after and for some others - weeks after, they are yet to even get a single response. Perhaps, there are no ward chairmen to begin with, so it's understandable that you cannot give what you do not have.

Labour party will have to do beyond just "making noise online", you need office structures (not just people structures) in wards, local governments etc.
We can see what is happening in Osun State. I have worked as a top INEC ad-hoc staff in previous elections, and the truth remains, if you don't have agents at polling units to protect your votes, anything, just anything can and will happen.

Hope Uzondinma wearing an $800k Diamond wrist watch. Imo State is bleeding!

Anambra has more old Voters and new registration than Borno,stop spitting everywhere. Come with facts.

Civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, has said the Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, must be sacked with immediate effect over his failure to put an end to the incessant attacks on prisons in the country.

HURIWA’s position was contained in a statement on Thursday signed by its National Coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, where it condemned the jailbreaks under Aregbesola’s watch.

The group stated that, in the last five years, there have been over 15 jailbreaks under the former Osun State governor while over 3,000 inmates have escaped from custody.

The PUNCH had reported that terrorists attacked the Kuje Correctional Centre on Tuesday night, heavily armed with explosives, which led to the loss of lives.

During the attack, the terrorists reportedly freed over 600 inmates, including 64 suspected Boko Haram members who were held in custody.


HURIWA also urged the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), to quit asking rhetorical questions on how the intelligence system of the country failed to detect Tuesday’s attack at Kuje prison in Abuja on social media.

The group demanded the President immediately set up a judicial panel of inquiry on prison attacks in the country and ensure that such assaults on the entire security apparatus of Nigeria do not recur.

The moment Ibos stop blaming others and fully take responsibility for their actions then they have our votes

Continue with the lies and the denial, 2023 go pass. Shi Shi we no go vote you,. Shi Shi Biafra you no go see

SlyDev:
When talking about tribalism, the North and the east should keep quiet, what a northerner can get away with in the west, he will not survive it in the east, what Easterner can get away with in the west, he will not dare do it in the North. Until both igbo and Fulani practice inclusion and tolerance in their region like Yoruba, Nigeria will not move forward.

OgunLaakaye:
You need to be sincere with yourself the most!

You lots should just chasing shadows!

Peter Obi being Nigeria’s president can only happen online.

Nothin on Earth and inHeaven can make such fiction come true.

You lots are just over ambitious, you can see the glaring truth staring at you, but choose to deny and look away.

Peter Obi will ONLY have the opportunity for his picture to be on the ballot papers, outside that, nothing else!

What movement y’all talking about? Can it surpass a quarter of what PDP or APC got?

When you talk of about campaign funds, Labour Party cannot even spend 10% of either APC or PDP budget.

When you talked about influential states, Labour Party presently has ZERO! Or you think the PDP and APC governors in those states will fold their hands and watch Labour Party carry the day?

Y’all need to be fvcking sincere with yourselves!

Even God cannot make Peter Obi president if reality has to be faced squarely!

seunmsg:
The problem with folks like you is that you only believe what you want to believe. Who told you that Tinubu did not submit his university to INEC?

PremiumTimes already published the university certificate that Tinubu submitted but you’re here feigning ignorance and bringing up an already dead issue. Una no dey tire?

Adeolaeniola:
I'm so sorry to nullify your trash sir, you are a tribalism bigotry.

Mooh247:
But did I call you Ibo or why is your conscience disturbing you

YorubaIsGreat:
The op is a braind**d yeebow s*bh*man, my blessed Yoruba people should ignore the f**l

Mooh247:
The person you qouted is not a Northerner check all of his previous comments and topics to know where he is from

Mooh247:



Everything that happens to an Ibo man is always Yoruba man's fault

It is always Awolowo, Tinubu, Abiola, Osinbajo's fault

Click the O.ps 72 comments on Nairaland with this username, it is Yoruba this, Tinibu that...

You can impersonate others to slander Yoruba but that's your business


Like they say in Yoruba Land .. isoro ni igbesi every comment deserves a response


Herbert Mayculay a Yoruba man trained Zik in politics, Zik got political power and turned Lagos Colony to Ibo's no man's land, he even appointed an Ibo man to be chancellor of University of Ibadan built with sweat and blood of Yoruba cocoa farmers, the only opportunity he had to show love to Yorubas by supporting Action Group, he wickedly gave the power to Northerners and paid back Yorubas kindness with evil

Kaduna Nzeogwu was trained by Sir Amadu Bello his father's friend that they lived in Kaduna together, Sarduna got him into Nigerian Army, Nzeogwu organised a bloody coup claiming Sarduna and Ladoke Akintola wanted to islamise Nigeria, Nzeogwu killed Sarduna and his wife in cold blood, burnt their house and went on radio to Brag about it... Kaduna Nzeogwu killed Ladoke Akintola a Yoruba man and spared Nnamdi Azikwe a fellow Ibo man by notifying him of his plans and allowing him travel on vacation before perpetrating his crimes.... As if that was not wicked enough he made his fellow Ibo superior Aguyi Ironsi the head of state

Ojuckwu and Muritala Mohammed burnt all banks in Biafra land and stole every Money in the bank, Obafemi Awolowo took a tour of the entire Biafra region and seeing how poor they were he issued out a policy to give every Ibo person £40 pounds to start a fresh while people with Passbook and data to claim their money in other banks got their money back .... Obafemi Awolowo asked every Omoluabi to take care of Ibo people's property in Western region and return it back to them


MKO Abiola dedicated his life and wealth to help all Nigerians regardless of tribe , he contested and won fair and square, an Ibo man Humphrey Nwosu the Electoral Umpire refused to announce his glaring victory

While Abiola , Obasanjo, Gen Yar'Adua, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, where fighting for democracy in prison and exile... Daniel Kanu an Ibo man organised the infamous 2 million youth match for Abacha life. Presidency

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, gave Ibos commissioner slot, special advisers slot, made them LGA chairmen and house of representatives members under AD, AC and ACN, he allocated lands and shop to them, employed them in state civil service, protected them from OPC violence, made them Lagos ACN chieftain, helped Ngige when he had trouble, houses Orji Uzor Kalu's children while their father was in dangerous Abia State
