So mumuric represent Yoruba muslims. I don't need anyone to tell me you're an impersonator.

Humanity first before religion in southwest part of this country.

Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader Of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church has revealed that Governor Nyesom Wike’s rumoured support for APC presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will fail.

Primate Ayodele, in a statement signed on Sunday, by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, said Governor Wike will only cause a pandemic to Tinubu’s presidential ambition.

He explained that the governor is playing with his political future with some of the actions he has taken in recent times.

‘’APC and Tinubu will fail in Rivers State. The support for Tinubu by Wike is a pandemic, anyone the governor supports will definitely fail. Wike is playing with his political future and this will have a dent on him. His people will not listen to him because he has passed his boundary,’’ he said.

Speaking on the 2023 presidential election, Primate Ayodele revealed that the northern vote will determine the next president of Nigeria while warning Peter Obi to be careful because there will be a gang-up against his votes in the north. He also assured that there will be no coup in the country.

‘’The northern votes will determine who becomes the president of Nigeria, Obi must be careful not to be knocked out by northern votes, There will be a gang-up against his votes in the north. There will be no coup in Nigeria, God has not endorsed such in the country.”

Also, Primate Ayodele warned INEC again concerning the election as he foresees hanky-panky games in the electoral body.

He expressed worries over electronic transmission and the BVAS.

He noted that some officials of the INEC will compromise and some elements will try to frustrate the success of the 2023 general elections.

‘’INEC must be up and doing in this election, lots of hanky-panky games will happen in the commission. I am worried about INEC electronic transmission and BVAS issues.

“There could be means of using the device negatively if some officials of the commission compromise. There are cabals that want to frustrate the efforts of INEC, they are not interested in the success of this election,’’ he opined.

They play

if not Tinubu, it must be Obi. So, stop disturbing yourself. The presidency is coming to south. No to fulanization(RUGA).

The fact that the cabal are making live unbearable for the masses just to make way for Atiku indicates the fulanization agenda is still intact.

The Yoruba Elders’ Union has promised to rally support and canvass for votes for the former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, whom they say would recover Nigeria.

The move by the Yoruba elders might further promote the candidacy of the PDP flagbearer, Atiku Abubakar
Meanwhile, the move by the southwest leaders may adversely affect the chances of the APC flagbearer, Bola Tinubu and LP flagbearer, Peter Obi, in the forthcoming presidential election
A socio-cultural group of Yoruba leaders under the aegis of the Yoruba Elders’ Union (YEU) has declared support for the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar.

The Yoruba leaders urged all well-meaning Nigerians to vote for the former two-term Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria during the forthcoming 2023 presidential election.

Professor Muhammad Omolaja, the president of the Union, said that YEU considered all the presidential candidates from various political parties using, among other things, criteria such as competence, experience, health, and general acceptability of the candidates, a report by Daily Times confirmed.

What Atiku stands for Omolaja said that Abubakar Atiku stands out among the presidential candidates as regards competence and health.

Reno Omokri, one of the prominent chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and a strong supporter of Atiku Abubakar, the PDP presidential candidate, has pulled some stunts.

Omokri took to his Twitter page on Wednesday evening to state that if Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential flagbearer, could not lift people out of poverty when he was the governor of Anambra, how would he do that at the national level?

The former presidential aide then declared that if Bola Tinubu, the flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), had said that, Nigerians would have fallen for it.

Legit.ng earlier reported that the APC presidential campaign council has rejected the outcome of the Nextier poll that predicted victory for Peter Obi of the Labour Party in the 2023 election.

Bayo Onanuga, the media director of the APC PCC, alleged that the Patrick Okigbo-led organisation has some hidden agenda.

Onanuga stated that the 3000 sampling sample of the poll is very poor for an election where over 90 million people have registered to vote.

"We cannot appoint Pablo Escobar as president and Osama bin Laden as vice president," -- Senator Dino Melaye.

Mr Keyamo, a senior lawyer and spokesman for the ruling All Progressives Congress’ presidential campaign panel, tweeted the pictures on his Twitter account, which he captioned the “mother of all rallies.”

It was not the first time the controversial senior lawyer faced embarrassment for sharing fake images for political propaganda online.

Nigerian labour minister Festus Keyamo was rebuked on social media on Thursday after circulating stolen from Chicago images to misrepresent the turnout of supporters for Bola Tinubu’s campaign rally in Sokoto on Thursday.

Mr Keyamo, a senior lawyer and spokesman for the ruling All Progressives Congress’ presidential campaign panel, tweeted the pictures on his Twitter account, which he captioned the “mother of all rallies.”

“More pictures from the mother of all rallies in Sokoto! The signs are all there for all to see! But they are playing! Make dem dey play!! In about a fortnight, the jungle will mature!!,” the tweet read.

The photo Mr Keyamo shared was from a music festival which took place in 2021 in Chicago. The picture had gone viral at the time for a massive violation of the COVID-19 protocols as many people gathered without protective measures at the peak of the pandemic.

Mr Keyamo previously suffered public ridicule after using a picture featuring presidential candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi, in 2022. He claimed that the photograph was from a meeting where Mr Obi had purportedly agreed to work in favour of Mr Atiku’s presidential bid, but the former director-general of the LP PCC, Doyin Okupe, debunked the report.

The falsification was seen as a cushion for the tough time that currently besets the party and its presidential candidate Bola Tinubu in the north region.

The vice presidential candidate of the party, Kashim Shettima, in a recent outburst, alleged that the north as a geopolitical zone has not given him the expected support because of his Kanuri heritage. His comments exposed the dwindling support the APC continues to witness across the north in the twilight of its eight years rule.

Nigerians are due to participate in this year’s general elections on February 25.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has clarified that it does not have preference for any candidate or political party.

The  clarification is coming on the heels of the Commission’s liking of a tweet by Omoyele Sowore, the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, calling his counterpart in the Labour Party, LP, Peter Obi, an opportunist.

Sowore had in a tweet called Obi an opportunist who fell in love with President Muhammadu Buhari, who he also described as wicked and incompetent, because of the Naira redesign policy.

He also said Obi believed the policy would confer undue advantage on his campaign.

Surprisingly, the tweet was liked by the INEC, sparking controversy, with Nigerians questioning the neutrality of the electoral body.

However, the INEC has come out to make clarification surrounding the controversy. It issued a statement on its Twitter handle on Wednesday.

It wrote, “The attention of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been drawn to a post on its Twitter handle, liking a post relating to one of the 18 Presidential candidates.

“The Commission is an independent electoral body and does not have preference for any candidate or political party. The Commission assures all Nigerians of its neutrality and will conduct a general election that is free and fair to all. The allegiance of the Commission is to the people of Nigeria.

“In the meantime, the Commission is investigating the circumstances that led to the liking of the said post and will take appropriate disciplinary actions if an infraction is established.”

From my analysis, these are the states OBI is VERY SURE to hit 25% (and even more):
1. Anambra
2. Abia
3. Ebonyi
4. Enugu
5. Imo
6. Akwa-Ibom
7. Cross-Rivers
8. Rivers
9. Bayelsa
10. Delta
11. Edo
12. Lagos
13. Benue
14. Plateau

These are the additional states OBI is LIKELY to win 25%:
15. Nasarawa
16. Kaduna
17. Taraba
18. Ogun
19. Oyo
20. Ondo
21. Osun
22. Ekiti

In total, these are 22 states I think OBI is likely or sure of winning ≥25%.... The remaining 14 states are up for grabs and OBI still needs about 2 states in the bag. Which of these 14 states can additionally be added to the bag?

Kogi - Kwara - Niger - Adamawa - Bauchi - Borno - Gombe - Yobe - Jigawa - Kano - Katsina - Kebbi - Sokoto - Zamfara

Who send Tinubu go do Muslim Muslim ticket bayi?

Against the projection of his critics that he would not do well outside the South-East region, a new poll said to be more robust and scientific than previous ones has predicted Peter Obi of the Labour Party as the leading presidential candidate in three out of the six geopolitical zones of the country.

In the three remaining geopolitical zones, the LP candidate is also projected to make sizable gains in the election as he’s said to be in a pole position to win the February 25 election.

The poll conducted by Stears, a data firm, is the fifth to predict Obi’s victory after previous ones commissioned by Bloomberg, Anap Foundation, amongst others.

Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, trailed Obi with two geopolitical zones (North East and North west) while the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is projected to win the South West region.

Show me the real enemies of Nigeria, and I will show you Nigerians !!!

I wonder what will make me go and suffocate myself under such a crowdy and suffocating hot weather condition bcs of a selfish man who will only settle his friends after getting to power, and forget the masses that queued under sun to vote.

The same goes to all politicians in Nigeria.

Assuming when they come for campaign, they see so many empty chairs and spaces, they'll stop taking Nigerians for granted !!!

Ayu stressed that Ikpeazu visited his home after his preferred governorship aspirant lost his bid at a rerun primary election, which was held following the candidate’s death, whom Ikpeazu preferred as his successor.
