You should wait for the next four years and look for a LOAF of BREAD as democracy dividend for you.


Nigerians have rejected APC and its pathetic that uou are paid to launder a very shambolic image.

Shame

So, you mean Atiku hasn't been contesting elections to build a cult-like following like Buhari? Dey play. I'm in one of the states in North West presently and I can tell you Tinubu is gone in the North. It's only the South I don't know. He better seat up and prove being master strategist in economy and better the welfare of Nigerians. Otherwise, Nigerians would surprise him starting from the North.

HAPPENING in Ekiti State Nigeria. The Governor is throwing Bread to the citizen as though they're animal

What do we expect from the NDC, PDP and ADC today?

NgeneUkwenu:
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it is fully prepared to conduct the governorship and bye-elections scheduled to hold on Saturday.


The elections include the Ekiti State Governorship Election as well as bye-elections in Dawaki Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency in Kano State, and Zuru State Constituency in Kebbi State.

Other bye-elections will hold in Ondo South Senatorial District in Ondo State, Rivers South East Senatorial District in Rivers State, Nasarawa North Senatorial District in Nasarawa State, and Enugu North Senatorial District in Enugu State.

INEC’s Deputy Director, Publicity and Voter Education, Wilfred Ifogah, said the Commission had put in place necessary measures to ensure free, fair and credible elections.

Speaking with LEADERSHIP on Thursday in Abuja, Ifogah said the Commission had trained and retrained its staff and ad hoc personnel on handling emergencies, managing sensitive election materials, and adhering strictly to electoral guidelines to prevent electoral malpractice.

“The Commission has done its best to ensure elections are conducted in an atmosphere that guarantees free and fair participation, where every eligible voter will be allowed to cast his or her vote without any hindrance.

INEC Rolls Out Ballot Materials For Nasarawa Senatorial By-election
“Security agencies will be deployed to man polling units and Registration Area Centres (RACs), where electoral officials and materials will be kept ahead of deployment to their assigned polling units.

“We have also directed electoral officials to move to their assigned polling units by 7:30am ahead of the commencement of voting at 8:30am,” he said.

On the high PVC collection in Ekiti, the INEC spokesman described the turnout as impressive, noting that the Commission intensified voter sensitisation ahead of the exercise.

He added that INEC would build on the achievement in preparation for the 2027 general elections.

Ifogah also called on political parties to caution their members against acts capable of causing violence or disrupting the voting process at polling units.

Meanwhile, INEC disclosed that a total of 1,028,929 Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs) had been collected across Ekiti State ahead of Saturday’s governorship election, representing 97.1 per cent of registered voters and a slight increase from the figures recorded in 2023.

The Commission made this known in a statement issued on Wednesday by the National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Kudu Haruna.

According to the Commission, the number of registered voters in Ekiti increased from 987,647 recorded in 2023 to 1,059,360 in 2026 following the suspension of the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise on May 15 and the subsequent clean-up of the voters’ register.

INEC noted that the 2026 collection figure surpassed the 958,052 PVCs collected in 2023, which represented a 97.0 per cent collection rate.

The Commission recalled that the PVC collection exercise, originally scheduled to end on June 11, was extended to June 14 after consultations with stakeholders during a meeting held in Ado-Ekiti.

On replacement of lost, damaged or defaced voter cards, the Commission said it received 14,406 applications within the approved timeline and printed all replacement PVCs, adding that most had already been collected.

The electoral body, however, explained that plans to introduce downloadable copies of lost, damaged or defaced voter cards could not be implemented for the Ekiti election due to incomplete technology infrastructure.

It added that the option is expected to become available in future elections, particularly for the Osun Governorship Election in August 2026 and the 2027 General Election.

INEC commended traditional rulers, community leaders, civil society organisations, political parties and members of the media for supporting voter mobilisation and encouraging citizens to collect their PVCs.

The Commission further stated that all PVCs for eligible applicants were printed and made available, including for those who requested transfers or replacement of damaged or lost cards.

INEC urged all registered voters who had collected their PVCs to participate peacefully in the election and reassured residents of Ekiti State of its commitment to conducting a free, fair and credible.

Reasons Why Tinubu Can't Win the 2027 Election

My people, the signs are clear as daylight.

Bola Tinubu will not win the 2027 election. This man has turned Nigeria into a headquarters of suffering with his bad policies and complete lack of empathy. From shattered economy to total security collapse, it is simply too much for Nigerias to bear another 4 horrific years of Tinubu, Nigeria will not survive it.

The economic pain alone is enough to reject him. The fuel subsidy removal and naira float that Tinubu crudely and implemented has brought total hardship for all Nigerians irrespective of tribe or religion. Food prices have tripled, inflation is devouring households, and businesses are collapsing everywhere. Approval ratings even from Tinubu's kitchen hover around 30 percent with massive disapproval.

How can anyone vote for more hunger when children are crying every day and going hungry every night? It's not possible.
On the security , he is a complete failure. For the very first time in Nigeria's history, military generals are dying like flies under this administration. Brigadier General Oseni Braimah, Major General Rabe Abubakar and others have been cut down by bandits and terrorists. Instead of decisive action and proper mourning, Tinubu and his loyalists were busy partying even as one of these heroes was being buried. While families cry blood, Aso Rock pops champagne. A heartless leader has no match like this one.

Remember the Yelwa Plateau massacre? When gunmen slaughtered innocent Nigerians? The only reason they died is that Tinubu is president. Tinubu could not even visit the victims to console them. He stopped halfway with no deep engagement.
Remember when Victims were dragged to the Kaduna airport for a quick 10-minute photo-op. He mumbled something about no light at the airport and flew off immediately. No hospital visits, no real comfort for grieving families.

This man treats Nigerians as if they have no feelings, just fly-by gestures and empty promises. He shows nothing but pure undiluted wickedness.
Even his own ally El-Rufai, who supported him before, was detained under ICPC. His mother died while he was still in detention. The woman's health worsened from the stress of seeing her son locked up like a criminal. They released him later for the burial but the damage was already too much. How will Tinubu face Northern people after this kind of government harassment and betrayal?

And talk about borrowing. Tinubu has borrowed far more than previous administrations combined since 1960 that were still paying fuel subsidies. In three years, Tinubu has added tens of trillions in debt. Over 65 trillion, surpassing even what Buhari borrowed over eight full years with subsidy still in place. Is he taking Nigerians for fools? He removed the subsidy claiming it would save money and reduce borrowing, yet the debt is exploding like never before while people continue to suffer. Where is all that money really going? Pure deceit and wickedness at the highest level.

Internationally, there is no confidence in him. The Trump administration is showing serious disapproval over the insecurity, killings and general mess. Tinubu had to spend millions lobbying just to calm tensions. The Israeli government is not smiling with him either.

Karma also has come for Tinubu. The same US government under Barack Obama that they used to remove Goodluck Jonathan in 2015 with propaganda, lies and blackmail criticism is the same America under Trump that now wants Tinubu out. Jonathan said it clearly before. History is repeating itself bitterly. The forces that helped bring him to power are now showing him the exit door.

Worse still, his close allies like Bayo Onanuga and Abike Dabiri are not helping matters. Instead of working for national unification, they consistently unleash tribal and ethnic slurs against one section of the country, especially the Igbo side. Onanuga openly says he owes no apology for calling them threats to Yorubas. Abike shows no restraint either. They are dividing Nigeria further instead of bringing people together. How can anyone win a national election when his boys keep scattering the country with hate speech?

Reject Tinubu is trending in streets, markets and online. Tinubus billboards and campaign vehicles are constantly attacked by frustrated and angry Nigerians wherever they see them.
Northern anger, Southern frustration, everywhere there is rage,anger and.

Tinubu thinks Nigeria is his personal Lagos empire that he can control forever. But 2027 will send him to his political grave forever.

The masses are ready for a revolution. Tinubu, your time is up. Nigerians will deliver the ultimate savage slap at the polls. It will be total rejection. God save Nigeria from this kind of useless leadership. 2027 is the year we sweep this nonsense away once and for all..

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

Morizo:
To start from your concluding line, I have never been Partisan. But politically conscious enough to make weighted voting choices. For instance,in the 2023 elections I voted across party lines. My ballot papers had APC(2), LP(2), PDP (1) for both elections.
Also the only time I joined a party was the NCP after graduation and I was a state secretary. I saw the evils of politicians first hand and quickly left politics for public service but I still follow the political trends and advocate strongly for good governance. I strongly believe party politics has been used to stifle democracy.

Other issues you raised just confirmed my position that it's a bribe and I strongly align with the position of Baba Ahmed that the judiciary shouldn't even be seen in public occasions talk more of attending political functions and frolicking with the political class. Hope you didn't forget the senator that was that was thanking his wife, a federal judge for helping his political friends with favourable judgements. That was under Lawan.

All these conspiracies and suspicions nationwide are not supposed to be associated with the judiciary if you are kind enough to agree with me on that. They are the last bastion of democracy but in Nigeria it's the social media that's now defending democracy not even the regular media. Most of the print media have been corrupted or partisan.

This country belongs to all of us and we can see that immigration laws in other countries and the uncivilised actions of some xenophobic cretins in SA has forced our people to be returning home in droves. Many ran away due to the terrible elitist governance in Nigeria that's likened to autocracy. If we don't intentionally build a "welfare for all" country where anyone can have equal opportunity to eke our a decent living and pursue happiness then the level of insecurity and crime is just beginning. Because the bad Apples from both the returnees and the home base will exploit it.

Thomas Sankara once said " I'll rather have safe drinking water for all than champagne for a few"

Maybe, you my friend, is among the few but have some compassion for the over 80% of Nigerians suffering multidimensional poverty. One month into office Tinubu privatised ppe borne drinking water in June 1999. That precedent spread over ethe country a decade later and now we are amongst the worst counties with safe drinking water.

To hold political and industrial elites accountable, the judiciary must be 💯 independent and seen to be transparent

Kalulu44:
Alright i admit my opinion on "most" Nigerians supports Baba Ahmed is flawed.
But you keep shooting yourself in the foot by saying bcus Doctors deserves better doesn't mean Judges deserves less.
The question here is, are doctors getting close to half of what Judges are getting presently?
.
You said judicial houses needs not to resemble army barracks. Who made the law that it's not supposed to be so.
Are Judges ought to be living like angels while soldiers live like aliens.
Is it a crime if the government makes army barracks looks like human beings are living there.
Is the job of Judges more important than a soldier?
.
And again you brought in the argument of legislators, governors and ministers. But you're trying to deflate it back to the Judges when I countered you that they too are being bought by the executives.
The truth here is, they are all weak including the Judges bcus he who pays the piper dictate the tune.
The executives are the ones dictating the tune cus they have bought over all the pipes available.
.
Whether you agree or not, there's no Judge currently that will go against the president will. That's why the ruling party boldly tells you to go to court if you're not satisfy with whatever outcomes that comes the way of the opposition. Bcus they know they own the courts and Judges.
And thru out your argument trying to defend why Judges deserves what they're getting is bcus their judgement will always favor the people you support.
.
All these can only stop if the president stops appointing people to the top of every institution of the country. And I am not saying it started with the present government, it has been like that for long but it had to stopped for we to have any headway.
The executives should let those institutions truly be independent of their own.
And nobody outside their institution should dictate for them.
Shikena!

sucess001:
When you control budget, if doesn't mean you are tasked with allocating accommodation needs??

Some of you apc boys that keep calling white black and black white, God will punish you

Reference:
Exactly.

The Judiciary should have their own money directly from the treasury.
The Legislature should be financed directly by the people.

SecurityNgr:
Let's Discuss About This.

sucess001:
I just showed you link that NJC is in charge of building houses for judges...

You still arguing....

Morizo:
I guess Falana isn't one or Sagay isn't. Or the retired supreme court justice woman that blasted the judiciary some time ago on same comprise with the executive.(Forgotten her name)

But we Lagosians knows it's Bat's strategy to create judges "welfarism" . During his time as governor of Lagos state he did exactly the same thing for judges. Go research that and how be privatise pipe borne water in Jos first month as governor in 1999.

No wonder he has never lost a court case.

Keep pretending to be asleep. One day you'll wake up to the point where we are now.... being a patriot beyond party and tribal lines as we search for a solution that will give our children a better future rather than have poverty indices that are being compared to South Sudan and Somalia .

swaggerific:
There’s NJC. If judges want cars they can get it through them. Imagine if frequent litigants start buying houses and cars and flights and expensive gifts for judges, how would you feel? Please don’t defend this nonsense.

If they paid you to defend them please go give it back to them because it’s not worth the destruction of the country you love.

swaggerific:
Oga - Your attempt to play smart by saying "the NJC is not a construction company" is a malaria infested argument. Im sure you went to school and I’m sure you know that nobody said the NJC should buy cement and lay blocks. You literally listed their function yourself:
control and disbursement of judiciary funds."

If Tinubu and Wike wanted a truly independent judiciary, those multi-billion naira housing funds would be moved directly into the judiciary's autonomous budget. The head of the Court of Appeal would award the contracts and manage the procurement.

Instead, the Executive (via Wike and the FCTA) chooses to hold the cash, award the contracts, build the luxury estates, and physically hand over the keys as discretionary gifts to the judges.

You keep hiding behind the word "welfare" to justify a compromised institutional structure. It’s not welfare. Judges are very well paid! And a lot of them hold jobs for a very long time in a Nigeria where it’s hard to get jobs so they have job security. So don’t bring up that welfare nonsense.

When a frequent litigant (the Executive) directly controls and gifts luxury properties to the people meant to judge them, it is a conflict of interest, full stop. Quit making excuses for the government that put Nigeria in bad shape and face the constitutional reality.

Legislators don’t get free mansions as soon as they become senators. Ministers don’t get free mansions as soon as they become ministers. Only the president gets to live in Aso rock with his team but it’s still not a free house with CofO to the president. So only these judges get free mansion with clear CofO just for being a judge in a court of law where the federal government frequently goes to. Shameful.

swaggerific:
You wrote all this heavy oyibo/queens English just to completely dodge the most critical fact of this entire conversation.
1. The Private CofO nonsense: You keep trying to sound smart by comparing these mansions to standard salaries, pensions, or office desks. Judges earn salaries…they do not earn free mansions from the executive branch. They need office desks to work…they do not need free mansions to work. Why do they deserve salary annnd free mansion?

That's a massive false equivalence. There’s news online that Wike unabashedly hands over the CofO of the houses to the judges on national tv. So these luxury potentially bugged mansions are issued directly in the personal names of these individual judges for permanent private ownership.

A judge's salary doesn't buy them a lifetime luxury estate in Abuja. Comparing a massive, real estate asset transfer to standard statutory welfare is the real absurdity here. The National Assembly (representing the people) appropriates funds to all 3 branches of government (national assembly, executive, judiciary) but the executive branch turns around to use its own allocation to build mansions for judiciary. How does that make sense? Could it be that they are doing it because they frequently want favorable treatment from that said arm of government?

2. Autonomous Procurement: Nobody said the judiciary should collect taxes or print money. The public treasury funds the entire government, but the Executive doesn't physically award contracts, construct, and hand out private houses to legislators, do they? The National Assembly gets its statutory allocation and handles its own internal procurement.

Kalulu44:
Tell yourself the truth, can you compare those Judges quarters to any military barracks in Nigeria?
You said you support better welfare for doctors and others, are they getting it?
And talking about legislators and ministers, are they scrutinizing the executive the way they should? Is it not yes sir to everything the executive throws at them.
.
Take a case of the governors, are all of them not praising and standing on the mandate of the president, just bcus more money than usual is been thrown at them to buy their conscience.
My guy, Baba Ahmed is spot on with what he said and most Nigerians supports him

Dalohad:
Were the Judges living on tree or hanging in the air before Wike (a frequent litigant) bribed them with houses and cars?

Why are you trying to justify this moral and unethical anomalies with fake objectivity?
