 Politics › Re: Panic In ADC As EFCC Goes After Key Members by emkz: 6:27am On Aug 12, 2025 |
If you commit a crime or there is a petition against you, EFCC must not touch you because you are in ADC. It would be seen as victimization. This is the new Nigeria coalition wants. If there is a case against anyone, let him clear himself first before coming to rescue Nigeria. Many of the rescuers want to get close to power to escape prosecution. If Tinubu or any of his party members are found wanting after their tenure, let EFCC also go after them. Afterall, Code of COnduct Bureau docked Tinubu in 2012 or so and Tinubu attended it without crying victimization. Same Code of Conduct docked Saraki as sitting senate president, and heavens did not fall either. 55 Likes 1 Share |

How exactly did Tinubu offend Babachir? He argued that Tinubu did not acknowledge those who supported him to become president. Didn't this same Babachir openly support Obi and spike against Tinubu's choice of running mate? Didn't he also argue in his interview that he had data that Obi won the election? Why didn't the data appear during the tribunal hearing? Many people miscalculated in 2023. Instead of accepting their fate, they are desperately blaming Tinubu. Babachir, did Tinubu promise you running mate position? What has your lack of forgiveness done to him? You are not even regarded enough to merit a mention by the presidential media spokespersons. Give up and focus on your coalition if you believe in it. Also remember during your grasscutting scandal, they asked you about the presidency looking into your case and you asked "which presidency?" Then you entered your SUV, stuck out your tongue in an ntoyyy way as if mocking journalists. The job of SGF was too big for you. You were rubbing shoulders where you did not belong, and you lost out in the highest level of power. Of what use would Tinubu have for you thereafter? 61 Likes 1 Share |

It is true that corruption and bad leadership are the promoters of poverty. 1. How many industries did the sudden anti-poverty crusader build while he held sway in Anambra? 2. How many people did nis leadership help to lift out of poverty in Anambra? 3. How many leaders did he train to sustain his economic ideas in Anambra? 4. By how much did he raise revenue in Anambra? Some naysayers argued that if he had the revenue in Lagos, he could have done wonders. But someone increased the revenue in Lagos. Why couldn't the sudden miracle worker do the same for Anambra? 5. What happened to the money he claimed he saved? 6. Where is he getting the money he is investing for his electoral future?

As this news will cause pains to certain individuals, they'd now go and look for negative news and go on twitter to stitch stories and talk about the uncultivated land in the north and meaningless things. They are averse to progressive news about their country. They are also notorious for going to land that doesn't belong to them to make skits. If you say the land belonged to your brother, how come he never appeared in any of your skits to be nodding his head when you are claiming ownership of what doesn't belong to you? Nigeria is rising.

But yoy granted waivers to El Rufai and Peter Obi to remain in their parties and be doing ADC. That is anti-party to their legacy parties and that is anti-party to ADC because they are not fully committed. ADC is turning into a failed political experiment. Atiku is sorely realizing it which is why he has taken a back seat.

ADC has suffered too many blows. Atiku has denied it by refusing to register. Obi has denied it by refusing to join. El Rufai has denied it by refusing to leave SDP. PDP big wigs like Saraki have distanced themselves from it. Fayemi, Boss Mustapha and Ambode have denounced it. It shows that the likes of Lauretta Onochie, Malami, El Rufai, Babachir, Abbo (the slapper), and Aregbesola lack the weight for influencing anything or mass movement. Some may argue that it is still about a year and half to general elections. Yet, ADC has no structures in states. The party has many factions, the national publicity secretary is struggling to defend a sinking boat. ADC has turned into A Disgruntled Circus.

FG, this is wrong and suspicious. What about the families of those who lost loved ones? Have they been rehabilitated? What about communities destroyed? I think this rehabilitation is encouraging crime. There must be punishment for crimes to deter others. The failure of this rehabilitation exercise is manifested when Niger governor complained that rehabilitated criminals were causing security problems in his state. Except you are naive, you cannot deradicalize these people. It is cheaper to send them on a permanent appointment in hell than re-integrate them to society. You are telling them that crime has reward. That is why new groups like Lakurawa emerge. Please stop deceiving the public and treat criminals like criminals. 60 Likes 1 Share |

Same way Obi got 1.2 million votes in Plateau and 3.5 million votes in Bauchi and 6 million votes in Lagos. If Amaechi, Atiku and Obi believed Obi won, how come they were fixated on false double nomination of Shettima? How come someone was talking about forfeiture and did not find anyone from the US to corroborate the claim? How come they never supplied alternative figures to counter what INEC declared? How come no one ever asked to recount the votes like was done in Florida? 108 Likes |

In 2014, people openly identified with APC. Governors joined. Representatives too. But ADC has faced many denials. Even Atiku has not signed up. Ireti Kingibe has not reported her decamping from LP. Obi has not signed up. El Rufai has not even signed up. ADC came up with a strange policy that politicians can stay in their legacy parties and work for ADC. Instead of convincing them to join their train, they are doing strange things. Serious politicians see the ADC as an SPV that they cannot invest their faith in. Atiku has been out of the country for almost three weeks probably thinking he might have miscalculated. By now, ADC should have gained traction.

Yes, he will remove Wike after his second term and after securing the southsouth and appoint Lamido as his strategic fellow. Tinubu knows the weight of Wike. Wike has influence in southsouth PDP. He ensured legacy PDP in Edo worked against Obaseki's candidate. Obaseki had visited him to seek support after Obaseki had published an article castigating Wike. Also the G5 states Wike and his group had influence were not won by Atiku. Tinubu won Benue, Rivers and Oyo. Obi won Enugu and Abia. It is that person Tinubu would remove? This kind of thinking is why Sule Lamido is politically weak. 34 Likes |

When APC was formed, there was an agreement on who'd go first. After two blocs (ACN and CPC) worked to ensure his victory at Onikan Stadium, a hard-fought victory, Atiku did not fully commit to working for APC but did not undermine it either. Now in ADC, they cannot even agree on an election to select their flagbearer. One bloc wants a democratic primary, another bloc wants undemocratic installation because they know their man has no chance. Let ADC set a democratic example. It doesn't have to go the way of the failed coalition between Kingsley Moghalu, Fela Durotoye and Oby Ezekwesili. Sadly, that is the direction we are seeing. 26 Likes 1 Share |

We need forward thinkers. We need innovative leaders. We need articulate leaders. We do not need emergency food servers and people fighting over land they claimed belonged to their brother, a brother who has not presented himself. We need people who are able to come up with solutions and track record of sustainable projects delivered. Any serious politician would not promise one term or say he is not desperate, but would discuss solutions that would make him appealing to those whose votes he wants. Discussing the solutions has become impossible because the brainpower for such is missing. They just want to win elections to tackle their own personal unemployment.

If 48 months can bring positive change, how come Anambra is not the model state in Nigeria? With the ability of Nnewi to fabricate anything, it would have been a hub for manufacturing in Nigeria. Buy engine and show it to Nnewi boys. Ask them to make 1,000 and you have a market already within Nigeria. Is it pot or spoons or bottles? But due to myopic leadership, Anambra is not the model state expected. Of everything a sensible person could think of, establishing a brewery was the best investment to come up with. Today, he says he wants to lift people out of poverty. How? He says he'd cultivate the fertile land in the north; how many did he cultivate as governor in Anambra? He claims he'd do only one term. Yet, he doesn't want to face a primary contest in their coalition. He wants to be handed the ticket. Ask him his template for solving insecurity, unemployment. Ask him why he condemned the coastal road project which is supporting many families through employment. He was bullied to produce a manifesto in 2022 and he claimed Tinubu copied his manifesto. How can Tinubu copy what did not exist? We need forward thinkers. We need innovative leaders. We need articulate leaders.

PDP did not get to her knees within a day. It was the result of the collective actions and inactions of the likes of Dino Melaye, Bukola Saraki, Atiku Abubakar, Aminu Tambuwal and those who abandoned the party between 2013 and 2015 to join APC. Wike stayed behind to hold the party until the political nomads returned. Atiku's first order of business was to undermine the party by choosing Peter Obi.as running mate against wishes of southeast PDP caucus who had wanted Ike Ekweremadu. Wike was sidelined after the 2019 election loss despite contributing to Atiku's campaign. In 2022-2023, there were series of betrayals. Tambuwal betrayed Wike by stepping down for Atiku despite Wike supporting him in PDP primaries in 2018 which was won by Atiku. Atiku betrayed Wike by refusing to take him as running mate. Peter Obi who ran with Atiku in 2019 betrayed Atiku and PDP by splitting PDP's votes. Wike took his pound of flesh and betrayed Atiku, Tambuwal, Ayu, and PDP. Now, Atiku and Dino have betrayed PDP. Who says they won't betrayed Nigeria for personal political comfort? When ADC loses or collapses due to entrenched interests, who says the party won't be betrayed? They can change parties, but the attribute of betrayal and Judas Iscariotism remains, and this is why they can't be politically stable or win elections. 19 Likes |

It is not what the party says. It is what the law says. The law says you can't belong to two political parties. Atiku only resigned from PDP. He has not defected to ADC until now. Obi doesn't want to jump into ADC when Atiku has not done so. Obi is also not in control of LP. El Rufai is an orphan in SDP as he has been disowned, re-owned and disowned. ADC has not gained needed momentum. Their spokesman tries to be Lai Muhammed, but clearly lacks the goods. Those who want to rescue Nigeria are indecisive about which political party to stay in.
