CIVILITY IS NOT WEAKNESS. ENOUGH OF THE HARASSMENT OF MY SUPPORTERS. RELEASE RILWAN OLAWALE NOW.

The continued intimidation and harassment of my supporters across the country, the latest being the case of Rilwan Olawale, is disturbing and unacceptable.

President Bola Tinubu has remained a huge beneficiary of our democracy and should not brazenly be destroying it by encouraging and facilitating violence.

Our campaign is peaceful and issue-driven, focused on offering Nigerians a credible alternative built on competence, accountability, justice, and compassion.

We have chosen the path of peace, not violence; persuasion, not intimidation. However, nobody should mistake our civility for weakness, our restraint for fear, or our commitment to peace for an absence of resolve. We will not be intimidated into silence, nor will we abandon Nigerians who believe in a New Nigeria that is possible and will be OK.

I therefore demand transparency regarding Rilwan Olawale’s arrest, his release, respect for his rights, and an end to politically motivated harassment. No government or political party has the right to deny Nigerians the freedom to support a candidate of their choice.
We will remain peaceful but resolute. We will not resort to violence, but we will stand firmly and lawfully against every attempt to undermine our democratic rights.

A New Nigeria is POssible and will be OK. -PO

You are definitely not Igbo. Our people do not destroy public properties. We no be illiterate

We compared polling-unit results uploaded to INEC's IReV portal with the declared returns in two 2023 Rivers State National Assembly races.

In the Obio/Akpor House of Representatives race, the IReV count puts Onunwor Ndamati (LP) ahead by 30,778 votes. INEC declared Chinda… pic.twitter.com/Ehu6bVQJXC

Ofunaofu:
seunmsg, let me get this straight: are you saying the FBI and DEA returned the $460,000 to Tinubu?

Kukutente23:
Is anyone debating with you?
Everyone is giving their own price based on their location still you feel you need to attack the reality of others as if only you must be right.
Just as you're celebrating 16 hours light a day there are Nigerians who have not seen light for months. There are also Nigerians whose areas don't have light at all cause they are not connected to the grid!! It's a fact of Nigerian power supply that it's different strokes for different folks
Why are you BATists so insecure and immature?

FSBoperator:
You lie.

Ibos were willing to serve the Europeans more than any other tribe in Nigeria.

The Ibos scattered in the north came about by following the British colonialists everywhere serving as potters , house help , etc.

AndroBlaze:
This matter is not complicated, the man has a verifiable track record of fraud that even Nairaland captured!!…

Nefort:
How do you know the assessment was honest? A random unqualified lady made a unproven claim over the product and you swallowed the unproven information. It's people like you that believe any nonsense you see on social media.

Gagame:
Hi everyone,

I have seen the responses and comments on this thread. I would like to clarify that the purpose of creating this topic was never to mock or attack the agency. My intention was simply to enlighten others so they do not make the same mistake I made by making payments without ensuring proper documentation and receipts were issued.

At the time, I was assured that everything was in order and was encouraged to continue with the process after making the payment. However, I later discovered that the individual who collected the money from me is no longer working there, which appears to have created room for the current complications.

By God’s grace, I will be visiting the office tomorrow to seek clarification and resolve the matter. I will update everyone on my findings afterward.

I would also like to make it clear that this is not a tribal issue in any way. It has nothing to do with whether I am Yoruba or from any other ethnic group. Looking back, the major issue was my own failure to follow the proper procedure from the beginning and ensure that I received the necessary receipts and documentation.

Thank you all for your contributions and understanding.

The controversy is not only about the political interpretation of Emeka Ike’s voter transfer, [b]but also about the source and sensitivity of the data shared publicly, which appears to originate from an INEC administrative system.

The original post by Lere Olayinka shared on X, dated May 30, 3:10 PM stated that Emeka Ike was previously a registered voter in Imo State and transferred his registration to the FCT on May 15, 2026. He thus questioned his eligibility to contest in Abuja based on the timing of that transfer

This post sparked debate over whether voter transfer timing affects eligibility for elective office, with many noting that INEC already provides a legal framework for voter transfer between states.

The controversy deepens because the post included a screenshot that appears to show Emeka Ike’s voter transfer record from an INEC backend system. Observers pointed out that cvradmin.inecnigeria.org/applications_manager/viewApplication/cb8e808 visible in the screenshot appears to be an administrative login-based interface, not accessible to ordinary users. Citizens all have access to the public INEC voter portal, without needing an administrative Login & Password.

This has raised questions about whether the information is from an internal INEC system, leaked by an authorized user or obtained through unauthorized access by Lere Olayinka.

Attempts to access the admin link shared on Lere's screenshot (cvradmin.inecnigeria.org/Login/index) reportedly redirect users to a login page requiring credentials. This contrasts with the public-facing voter registration platform and is central to concerns being raised about data access, privacy, and internal system security.

The issue has shifted beyond Emeka Ike’s political ambition to broader institutional questions:
👉🏾Who has access to INEC’s administrative voter database?
👉🏾Under what authority was the information accessed or shared publicly?
👉🏾Are voter transfer records considered sensitive personal data under INEC or data protection guidelines?
👉🏾Does public sharing of such data comply with Nigeria’s data protection and electoral regulations?

This could also mean an apparent exposure of voter data from an INEC administrative system. If the screenshot indeed originated from a restricted INEC backend portal, then the concern goes beyond politics and enters the realm of electoral data governance and potential breach of official confidentiality obligations.

INEC voter records and registration workflows are not merely public information; they are part of a regulated electoral infrastructure governed by strict access controls. Unauthorized access or improper disclosure of such data raise serious questions about.
At the institutional level, such concerns are not about partisan alignment, but about whether electoral officials or authorized users are operating strictly within the boundaries of lawful access and disclosure. This points to a deeper structural risk: that sensitive electoral data could be exposed or used in public political discourse outside the safeguards intended to protect voter privacy and the credibility of Nigeria’s electoral process.

If voter registration data from restricted INEC systems can surface in public political discourse, what does that say about the integrity and security of Nigeria’s electoral administration?

helinues:
I remember that particular thread which I said let me think out loud that Obi and Kwankwanso will leave ADC for another party as they are working directly/indirectly for president Tinubu. It's Atiku they are punishing while lying to their supporters about their intentions

I am vindicated as usual

Farmers must be able to return to their fields securely; students must be able to learn without fear; communities must be able to rest peacefully; and investors must regain their confidence in Nigeria.

Our strategy will be intelligence-driven, technology-enhanced, proactive, and community-focused. We will fortify our security institutions, enhance operational coordination, support our courageous personnel, and tackle the underlying causes of insecurity—name, ly poverty, unemployment, and marginalisation.

HEALTHCARE
Regarding health, Nigeria is currently ranked 157th globally, placing it in the lower echelon of healthcare worldwide. Primary healthcare, the cornerstone of our medical system, remains severely underfunctioning, al with only 10% to 20% of approximately 30,000 primary healthcare centres operational.

As a result, Nigeria suffers from one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world. Furthermore, health insurance coverage in Nigeria hovers around a mere 10%, in stark contrast to countries like Indonesia, which boast over 90% coverage. This situation is regrettable.
I pledge that within four years, our health insurance coverage will more than double to over 20%.

Within these four years, we will increase our healthcare budget to a minimum of 10% of our GDP, up from the current level of below 5%. We will invest heavily in and support our healthcare institutions to ensure the massive training of our healthcare workers, including nurses and other professionals. We shall also adequately staff our medical facilities.

In four years, there will be a fully functional and properly managed primary healthcare centre in all 8,809 wards across the nation. By the conclusion of our term, Nigeria will ensure that at least 50% of its 30,000 primary healthcare centres are fully functional, properly manned, and dedicated to serving the populace.

EDUCATION

Education will remain at the forefront of our national revival, as no country can grow beyond its educational system. Nations that have transformed successfully have done so through sustained investment in human capital. Our children are not burdens; they represent our most valuable assets. We will invest heavily in schools, teachers, technology, and vocational training, ensuring that education equips our youth not only to seek employment but also to generate it. We must pivot Nigeria from a cycle of shared poverty to one of collective prosperity through knowledge, innovation, and productivity.

HUNGER AND AGRICULTURE

In 2023, when the present government took office, Nigeria ranked 109 out of 150 nations on the Global Hunger Index.
And by 2025, our ranking further plunged to 115th, placing us among the hungriest nations globally. Currently, the World Food Programme estimates that over 35 million Nigerians will face acute hunger and food insecurity this year. This is unconscionable, given our vast expanses of uncultivated land.

Rice remains the most consumed food in Nigeria. To illustrate our level of unproductivity, let us compare our capabilities with those of leading rice-producing nations. India is the largest producer of rice, yielding approximately 200 million tonnes of unmilled rice.

Bangladesh is the third largest producer, producing around 60 million tonnes of unskilled Rice, while Vietnam is the 5thproducinges about 42 million tonnes. Let us consider the land-to-population ratios:

India has a landmass of 3,287,263 square kilometres. Distributed across its population of 1.4 billion people, this equals roughly 2. 34 Square meter per person.
Bangladesh, with a landmass of around 148,460 square kilometres and a population of 170 million, has less than 1 square metres per person.
Vietnam’s landmass covers 331,000 square kilometres. Divided by a population of 102 million, it yields about 3.25 square metres per person.

Nigeria has a massive landmass of 923,768 square kilometres. Divided by our population of approximately 230 million, this results in about 4.00 square metres per person. The foregoing clearly illustrates that we have absolutely no justification for being among the world's hungriest nations.

Transitioning our nation from a state of consumption to one of production, through significant investments in agriculture, is the sole dependable strategy to escape the current depths of hunger and poverty. As I often emphasise, the uncultivated lands in our northern region represent our most substantial tangible assets. Transforming this sector is our direct pathway to prosperity.

ENERGY SECTOR
Nigeria today is the nation with the highest number of citizens lacking access to electricity globally. We currently generate and distribute a mere 4,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity for a population exceeding 200 million. In contrast, comparable nations worldwide - including several African peers such as South Africa and Egypt - each generate and distribute over 40,000 MW, despite both countries having less than half of our population. This considerable power shortfall continues to cripple businesses, choke industries, and stall overall economic growth.

Over the next four years, I commit to ensuring a minimum of 10,000 Mof W power increase generation and distribution.

UNEMPLOYMENT AND UNDEREMPLOYMENT

Our large pool of talented youth remains largely unemployed. The current official unemployment rate of 4% grossly misrepresents the true situation; actual underemployment and unemployment in Nigeria exceeds 30%, with youth unemployment sitting at over 40% - among the highest globally, necessitating urgent intervention. We will address this by aggressively supporting the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through targeted tax incentives, special interest rates, and accessible funding in sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, entertainment, sports, and distribution. These improvements will be both measurable and verifiable.

CORRUPTION AND GOVERNANCE COSTS
Nigerians will witness a tangible and verifiable reduction in corruption and the baseline costs associated with governance. Public resources will be managed with absolute transparency, prudence, and accountability to ensure that every naira spent yields demonstrable value for citizens.

RULE OF LAW
The rule of law will be fiercely upheld, and adherence to it will be sacrosanct for both government officials and citizens alike, strictly in accordance with our constitutional frameworks.

DEMOCRACY
Our democracy will exemplify true governance of the people, by the people, and for the people, completely free from interference by the ruling party. Instead, we will institutionalise deep respect for opposition parties and foster constructive engagement in governance.

Under my leadership, democracy will be pursued with integrity, fairness, and transparency.

Following this i will make democracy work and the Vice president will be partner not a spare tyres. I hereby accept my affirmation and nominate Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso @KwankwasoRM as my Vice President.

May God bless you all, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
