WHAT EXACTLY IS THE OPPOSITION BRINGING TO THE TABLE? SEGUN SHOWUNMI’S BRUTAL QUESTION FOR 2027


Segun Showunmi’s strongest criticism of Nigeria’s opposition was not that its leaders lack popularity.
It was worse.
He questioned whether they have built enough POLITICAL MACHINERY AROUND THEIR POPULARITY.

He used Peter Obi as his exhibit.
Showunmi said Obi could have been a serious alternative.
“Maybe Peter. We could support Peter. Why not?” Then came the knife: “Peter should have made up his mind what the party will be, maybe like 2024 max.”

Why? Because presidential politics is not a motivational seminar. It requires structure. Candidates. Ward organisations. State leadership. Polling agents. Senatorial candidates. House candidates. A recognisable symbol. Time.

Showunmi’s metaphor was excellent: A POLITICAL PARTY IS A TRAIN.

The states and local structures are the coaches. But: “If you don’t pack the head train very powerfully, it cannot pull us.”

That is his central warning to the anti-Tinubu coalition.
You cannot build everything around one presidential candidate and assume the machinery will magically assemble underneath him.
And Showunmi was speaking from experience.

On presidential election day, Senate and House contests are moving simultaneously. Weeks later come governorship contests.
If the presidential “engine” collapses, he argues, politicians immediately begin renegotiating loyalties.

His wonderfully Nigerian formulation: “I’M AN EXPERIENCED DOG IN THIS GAME.”
This criticism became more interesting when you consider that Peter Obi eventually moved into the NDC, while Atiku Abubakar emerged as ADC presidential candidate with Rotimi Amaechi as running mate.

Yet opposition-unity discussions have continued even after the parties selected competing presidential arrangements. That is almost exactly the structural problem Showunmi was describing.

And then there is policy. His challenge to opposition politicians was essentially:

Before asking Nigerians to replace something, SHOW THEM THE SOMETHING YOU ARE REPLACING IT WITH.

On subsidy? What exactly is the fiscal model? On foreign exchange?
What replaces the market-reflective regime? On infrastructure? Which projects continue, which stop and what replaces them?
On policing? Federal-only or state police? On federalism? Do states receive more responsibility or less?

Nigeria does not merely need: ANTI-TINUBU.
It needs an answer to the question that eventually destroys every opposition built principally around anger: AFTER “TINUBU MUST GO” — THEN WHAT?

A coalition can unite against a man. A government has to unite around a programme.

You like to gaslight yourself writing worthless epistles to make the opposition look bad while at thesame time promoting a failed kriminal

You will get that sense by fire by force

Just one: re-introduction of Subsidy.

Only this is a big move to disgrace your messiah out of that grabbed office.

The Opposition is bringing back subsidy

Watianoengineer:
It's so easy to criticize Abike but haven't the Igbos done worse?

They called Yoruba people sophisticated Ras.cals

They insult president Tinubu daily like their lives depends on it.

Nnamdi kanu said worse about others and taught his followers cum obidients disrespectful rethorics.

Abike did nothing wrong in my opinion. If not for the sanctity of the office she represents, saying worse things about those people is equally justified.

All this creatures of data boiz, I really don't know what they are being fed.

So in your logic, all our neigbours from the East are now occupying a Public Office.

Where is the public officer from our neigbours that have done worse under darling daddy and the faaaaakkkkeee certttifficcate holder

After insulting the Opposition parties, the coven of mandate snatchers and grabbers are now begging for decorum and desire an issue based campaign

You see in their own Stock in trade: bulllying, intimidation, violence, victimization of Opposition parties they are loosing the narratives since the Opposition have decided to play thesame stock they trade in Politics.

The only way to force them to beg for decorum is to give them Quantum amount of neck pressing, Match their energy to the power of ten.

Nö need for discussion. Fire for more Quantum fire. That is the language they understand

Opposition parties give them more pressure

The emil00kaan Epistles of Coastal highway to fraud

Starrng: propagandists hypocrites, data boiz and the Lagos Kitchen cabinet

Director: the coven of mandate snatchers

Producer: the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr aka Bobo Chicago

MartinCorridon:
We live and breathe in your nightmares.

YES we deserve EVERYTHING as your Rulers.

NOTHING you can do about it

Data boi, if dem call tge "we" from the coven of mandate snatchers and grabbers you will cra..out

Your Position as a data boi of a faaaake certttifficcate hollldderr is not more than this

BATified2023

Awon 'Coastal road' noisemakers.

aka Christistruth03 awon Coastal Road high way to fraud noisemakers

Where are the APC data boiz to forgive their darling daddy who they have been blaming for the damages the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr is experiencing since he came back from the streets of Chicago to come snatch grab and ran away with a stolen mandate

When will they start singing the new tune by their emil000kaan demigod blaming the "close associates"

Let me say I respect this man from the SW. No matter whose ox is gored, he speaks truth to power.

Dat is a real Nigg..a

HacheNoire:
Statements like this is what makes people jump out of the window or fall on a staircase.

Helinues, that type of statement should be the case of data boiz who defend a fraud, a failure, an incompetent all because of food interest tribal interest, religious interest etc

BATified2023:
u can cry from here till eternity, it doesn't stop Tinubu from winning again in 2027

If your agulu packaged fraudster or Atiku is the alternative then Tinubu should continue

Data boi Christistruth03

You are no different than your faaake Lagos builder with a faaake certttifficcate.

There is no pathway for your roasted electricity demigod

We have all seen what a faaake guru str*tegist is all about.

We are "educated", we are "sophisticated", this is where all those chestbeating ends for a faaake certttifficcate hollldderr and his minions of data boiz

Dotherightthing:
Trash! SW is the safest region in Nigeria today.

Ok

How can anyone see a faaake certttifficcate hollldderr as an Accountant guru is beyond sane minds

This kriminal is a waste of human space.

Nigerians send this man to a Jail retirement home

Dotherightthing:
They know better. They fear Fulani rule like no man's business.

We know the people in Nigeria that fear the Fulani. We know the people that grabbed political power and gave the fulani a free hand to go after their Obas and teachers because of snatched power

I have never experienced the type of Parapoism,tribal drive and supremacy in Nigeria that the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr, his Lagos kitchen cabinet and data boys brought into Government since 2023.

I say it again that these people are the most tr*bal creatures in Nigeria. They bully everyone in Lagos and when you say something they will tell you to go back to your village.

They practise their Oduduwa republic ideology inside one Nigeria their forefathers fought for and will claim sophisticatiion hiding behind a snatched and grabbed federal might.

I hope they will continue with "go back to your village rhetorics after their demi -god is disgraced.


The highway to fraud has been exposed as starting in the S. West and ending in the SW. They said they are against division of the counntry but their actions are regional where they grab All allocation and infrastructure under one Nigeria

rossipki:
All this noise and abuse, yet you will still lose at the polls...

I actually feel sorry for you....All this effort for nothing..

Data boi feel sorry for yourself and family, standing on a mandate of renewed h0pelezznezz after exoecting darling daddy to take you to the next level

Dotherightthing:
Christian Core North, North Central and South are in the bag for Tinubu

Thesame Christians you and your folks told their were no geno"c*de

You know you are decieving yourself like your messiah the faaaake certttifficcate hollldderr

Odin13:
Arewa will play and dribble the Yoruba Demi god as their slave he is

They will chop his dollar and sing on his mandate 🤣

Lols. What he did to our son GEJ is staring directly at him

Ironfaceman:
Hold your friends close and your enemies closer.

The governors have been the problem of this country.

And the problem is not the head, a faaake certttifficcate hollldderr?

Bigkoko:
Nigerians have been inundated with weird lessons of criminality, heroin trafficking, gender manipulation, identity theft, certificate forgery and links to drug cartels concerning one of their president.......the same old man is currently at the mercy of US based DC lobbying Firm Von Batten and a career District judge in the US -- honorable judge Howell Merlyn.


Now, a very louded project called Coastal highway supposedly running from Western Nigeria State of Lagos to Southern Nigeria State of Cross Rivers has been cunningly routed. Nevermind that the unvetted project was given to a fellow drug cartel member.....

But I tell you it's been Lagos-Ogun coastal highway all along.

Nevermind.... once a people's government get sworn in in 2027..... every bit of that money will traced to where ever it has been laundered to, all properties purchased from it forfeited just like the heroin money the Americans sized from the drug bagman in 1993

Every Lagos kitchen cabinet who is/was employed by the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr must surrender their Passport after the kriminal is disgraced.

As for Umahi, they will teach him the lesson of his existence inside "one Nigeria". He learnt nothing from Emiefele who is been used as a scape goat for the failures of his darling daddy.

He has been mentioning the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr in all his statement and press release forgetting when that long arm of justice touches him the faaake certttifficcate hollldderr will not be there

The borders must be tigthened to prevent these set of ev*l from.escaping prosecution and justice


The parapoism and tribal supremacy this Set of creatures introduced into Nigeria will hunt them more than the country Nigeria.

The APC mods should quickly push this propaganda and lies against their nightmare to the Frontpage

Elusive001:
The cunny man use am open his properties at the coastal areas of Lagos. He has large properties there.

You are aware of your surroundings. I have said it many times that that coastal highway to fraud starts and ends in Lagos.

The faaakkee certttiffficcate holder and his melanin deficient krook friend from Lebanon started that road for themseves because they have substantial interest in Eko Atlantic

aytom:
Sometimes I laugh when I hear people explain what they don't understand. How can a road jump from Upare to Gegele? How does Ode-Erinje and Igbokoda falls on the coastline?
The coastal road passes through the following communities in Ilaje that are closer to the seashore than Igbokoda: Irokun, Oriopo, Agerige, Upare, Aboto, and two or three more places. It then passes through two more local governments before it reaches Edo boundary.

Note that there is no East-West road in Ondo State.

You saw the lies. Too much lies. Unlimited lies and deciet.

The coven of mandate snatchers and grabbers must be disgraced from the snatched office

When you lie or start with lies and propaganda, more lies and propaganda will be needed to cover previous lies told

Mr, pack your bag and baggages. No need to explain tire. You are all done

givedemwotowoto:
But we must be law abiding when after voting, some people go into a room, write results and tell us to go to court, then come on TV and boast about it?

Go to America, even the people are fighting a
with their lives when they believe they have been wronged. You’re here preaching law when your government is the one perpetuating evil

These boys are practicing democracy better than you.

Don't mind him. He said "vote them out"

SmartPolician:
We must never allow these kinds of behaviours in this country

If you don't like a politician, vote him out.

Stop destroying items spent millions of naira to produce.

Nigeria is not an animal republic

Do your vote count in Nigeria to vote incompetence out.

Your last statement is not correct

Wealthyonos:
His online slaves believe otherwise 😂

Umahi will learn a very bitter lesson about one Nigeria. Je thinks they have forgotten the region he comes from. He will be used as a scape goat as an excuse for the failures of his master
