WIKE, YOU ARE NOT AN APC MEMBER. HOW COULD YOU HAVE BEEN SENT TO WIN ELECTION FOR MR PRESIDENT? FIX YOUR PDP WAHALA AND LEAVE APC ALONE.

MR PRESIDENT HAVE TESTED YOU IN THE FCT. NIGERANS ARE WAITING TO SEE WHETHER YOU'RE GOOD TO GO OR TO CONTINUE.

Did Wike not do it in Edo State.

helinues:
As long as Oyetola is backing an Apc candidate, Aregbesola backing another candidate which is still Apc divided votes, Adeleke will win his reelection

And If Aregbesola decided to support Adeleke, it's still straight winning .

Oyetola being in charge of the Apc in the state has messed things up.

The EFCC illegally freezing Osun state bank account which FG has overturned will give some kind of sympathetic votes for Adeleke because the initial EFCC decision was political

if LAWFUL votes count.

I understand election rigging is no longer a factor in Nigeria politics

mrvitalis:
Dismissing the Catholic bishops’ criticism of Tinubu as “partisan” or “because they have a candidate” is foolish. It ignores a long, consistent record of institutional critique that transcends administrations, parties, and personalities. The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria (CBCN) has spoken hard truths to power under military rulers, under Goodluck Jonathan’s PDP, under Muhammadu Buhari’s APC, and now under Bola Tinubu. Treating their latest interventions as a sudden partisan plot reveals more about the accuser’s discomfort with accountability than about the bishops’ motives.

A consistent pattern, not selective outrage

The CBCN has never been a cheerleader for any government. Under Jonathan, the bishops publicly blasted massive corruption, rights abuses, and the failure of federal and state leaders to uphold probity in public resources. Under Buhari, their language grew even sharper. They described Nigeria as “killing fields and mass graveyard,” demanded that the president “save Nigeria from avoidable doom or step aside” if he could not secure the country, and rejected propaganda campaigns that painted religious critics as enemies of the state. They warned of poverty, hunger, insecurity, and the erosion of trust—issues that cut across ethnic and regional lines.

That same institutional voice has now raised concerns with Tinubu: a bleeding economy that fails the poor, persistent insecurity, the narrowing of political space, fears of one-party dominance ahead of 2027, and the need for genuinely free and fair elections. Archbishop Matthew Man-Oso Ndagoso and Cardinal John Onaiyekan have been explicit that the bishops acted after broad internal consultation, that they have no ambition to seize anyone’s office, and that they speak as religious leaders duty-bound to address the lived realities of Nigerians—Catholic and non-Catholic alike. Onaiyekan stressed they are not politicians and are not acting for any party.


If the bishops were partisan operators waiting for a preferred candidate, their record would look very different. They would have been silent under one government and vocal under another. Instead, they have criticized successive leaders of different parties when governance failed ordinary people. Consistency of this kind is the opposite of partisanship.


The “they have a candidate” claim collapses under scrutiny
No credible evidence has surfaced that the CBCN is grooming or backing a specific presidential aspirant for 2027. The bishops’ public interventions focus on systemic issues ,electoral integrity, security, poverty, democratic institutions not on endorsing individuals. Cardinal Onaiyekan has stated plainly that the bishops are united on what matters for Nigeria’s survival even while holding diverse personal political feelings. Suggesting they are merely proxies for some hidden candidate requires inventing motives that the bishops themselves reject and that their history does not support.
This accusation is a classic deflection. When institutions or citizens raise uncomfortable facts, the easiest response is to question their purity of intent rather than engage the substance. It is the same tactic used against earlier episcopal statements under previous presidents. The result is always the same: the underlying problem’s insecurity that still claims lives, an economy that leaves millions struggling, and worries about the health of multiparty democracy—remain unaddressed while attention shifts to the messengers.

Why the charge is foolish on its face
First, it treats religious moral critique as illegitimate by definition. Catholic social teaching has long insisted that the Church has a right and duty to speak on matters of justice, the common good, and the protection of human dignity. Nigerian bishops have exercised that duty across decades. Demanding silence only when the criticism lands on the current administration is selective and self-serving.
Second, it assumes that any criticism of the government must be motivated by opposition politics. This is a low view of both the Church and of public discourse. Bishops live among the people they serve. They hear the stories of kidnapping, hunger, unemployment, and fear. When they convey those realities to the president—and when the president disagrees, as Tinubu did on the state of the economy and the claim that the nation is “bleeding”—that is democratic dialogue, not conspiracy. dailypost.ng
Third, the charge is strategically shortsighted. A healthy democracy needs institutions willing to speak uncomfortable truths to every government. If the bishops are dismissed as partisan today, the next administration will face the same dismissal tomorrow. The long-term cost is a public square in which only praise is acceptable and criticism is automatically tainted.
Nigeria’s challenges—security, economic hardship for the poor, and the integrity of future elections—are real. They predate Tinubu and will outlast him if left unaddressed. The Catholic bishops have criticized previous governments for the same categories of failure. Calling their recent engagement partisan or candidate-driven is not analysis; it is an evasion. It is foolish because it substitutes motive-hunting for the harder work of examining whether the concerns themselves have merit. A serious country listens to consistent institutional voices rather than inventing secret agendas to silence them.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This is very correct

During the last presidential election, the military help make the voting orderly, when they.came.

Al lot is showing the election is just almost a waste of money.
Amupitan, has been told that his duty is to announce the result. All these actions are just pretence.

I know some people like seeing all those pictures with ELIMINATED ,on it. but let's be real. War is not good. all sides should give peace a chance.

I mean all sides..we can all live in peace if we want to.

same old shiiit.. so predictable at every election period

CENTCOM are deceiving themselves.

We know when an item is destroyed... You bomb an evacuated military checkpoint and come online to post grammar.

imagine if only APC and some unknown parties succeeded in meeting the deadline....

INEC won't bend..

LibertyRep:
APC in it's opposition days would have done more than this.

But can you people stop please, and have some decorum.

Can you respect the memories of the dead.

Can you not dampen the morale of the security men who made sacrifices for this feat to be recorded.

You politicians can do better.

security men who are prowns in the chess game.

just imagine if it was Obi as president and their father is detained.

there are levels to this things jare.

TopBanter:
I am laughing at the comments I see here against this bill. How is it not obvious we must make deliberate effort to de-emphasise the influence of religion, by relegating it to private worship, and focus on educating/training Nigerians to be providers of solutions for our nation through greater assimilation of STEM i.e Science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Nigeria is one of the most religious nations in the world yet check out the pathetic state of our nation.

China's leader is openly atheist and China has a broad policy of strong focus on STEM. Look where they are today because they put their faith in human capacity for delivering solutions and not religion and miracles..

Nigerians are in church every day of the week at all hours Whereas citizens of all nation are socio-economically productive in the week and only in church on Sunday.

Over-religiousity is part of the problem of Nigeria and a conscious effort must be made to curb it as Soludo is doing in Anambra.

I particularly like how he said he will round up miracle-preaching pastor's and take them to hospitals to heal the sick in an effort to demonstrate to Anambrarians that most pastors are quacks and better for them to focus on acquiring skills so the can deliver solutions for themselves instead of delusionally awaiting religious miracles.

Good . Now tell us how productive you are and your impact. at least, we know where you belong. So "religion" is not limiting you.

I bought some very important things in a bus. I honestly don't see the item around despite how important it is.

someone's sermon in another bus, made a lot of difference in the life of many people.

I personally think those aspects of the law should be removed.

AguluLiar:
Is that why great countries who don't do religiosity are doing well and Nigeria with all their churches and mosques are lagging behind?

Stop deceiving yourself, no one needs prayers or churches to achieve any feat in life

Which feats have all these fake G.Os and pastors achieve aside accumulating wealth and power at the expense of their unsuspecting and ignorant followers?

what is "religiousity"

my initial post still stand. You can deceive yourself and insult all the GO as you like, I don't care.

If you acknowledge God, you will join the devil and call it hard work.
Fact.

manmade:
In my view, Peter Obi has not demonstrated that he has practical solutions to Nigeria's challenges. I see him as someone whose rhetoric has not been matched by a convincing roadmap for governance. Compared to former President Buhari, I believe he would perform no better, and I also question his willingness to make difficult and politically costly decisions.

Meaningful reforms require courage, political will, and the willingness to make difficult decisions despite public criticism. In my opinion, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has shown more of those qualities through the reforms his administration has pursued. While reasonable people may disagree about the outcomes, I believe Nigeria's long-term progress depends on leaders who are prepared to take tough decisions rather than simply make attractive promises.

A good student of history would understand that countries such as China endured periods of severe economic hardship and international ridicule before achieving rapid development. Through sustained policy reforms, long-term planning, and determined leadership over many years, China transformed itself into one of the world's largest economies and a major global power. My belief is that genuine national transformation requires patience, consistency, and leaders who are prepared to pursue difficult reforms in pursuit of long-term progress.

You want to question her repentance and salvation?

The scriptures says , you shall know them by their fruits. not just by their past... which you may never know.

You've still not stated the the alternative anyway.

Please let God be the match maker.

so what happens to men who have been whoring about. or you think we shouldn't hold men with the same standards for chastity?

if the man who don't have a bad past, puts God first and genuinely seek his face, God will connect him to a lady with a good past. BUT HE HAS TO BE SENSITIVE TO KNOW, AND NOT LET HIS FLESH LEAD.

Most times,when God brings that person, they will not know because she'll not be flashy and sexy in their eyes.

What these APC Charlatans have planned to do with INEC in 2027 to ensure Tinubu is re-installed at all cost will shock Devil himself.




If Nigerians decide to allow them succeed with their evil agenda in 2027, then I will have no pity for any Nigerian suffering anything from 2027

show me where obi said he will remove subsidy?

Same obi that even as at 2026 when rufai oseni asked him a direct yes or no question about subsidy, obi didn't say anything.

Na 2026 b that ooo, so tell me how he said he will remove subsidy in 2022

I won't show you so do whatever you like.

none of the candidate is paying me and I don't have interest in any of them.

when I like, I drop my opinion on them and move on.

no harsh words, no fight, and no point to prove.

Counterigbolies:
tinubu was the first to release manifesto and talked about subsidy removal

Tinubu release his manifesto in October n obi released his own in December after talking rubbish for too long

So tell me, how did tinubu copy obi?

Obi had already said everything in his manifesto before putting it in a booklet. he was practically forced to write it.

If we're honest, Obi had far more engagements with the media.that any candidate for 2023 election.

Not really all about funds.
You failed to manage the crisis in LP ,and later abandoned the party.
That's not a good one for a good leader.

Do you truly care about LP

we all know you don't care about the party. so it's a non issue.
