He is offering Tinubu a way into NDC hoping that he will cash out...hmmm the odds look attractive to desperate BAt...but e go still cut.

Hope some of you realise the impact of your statements on the integrity and reputation of other people. Do you realise that the man has friends and family who may also feel offended by what you've written?

What has the man done wrong under the law? Yet you started staining his reputation?

Can you face the litigation if he decides that you should prove your allegations and statements?

Or you think Nairaland is really anonymous?

nairalandankrah:
Pressure from the EU and other international organisations..

ADC TOOK THE FIGHT INTERNATIONAL.. Kudos to them!

Some of you are impossible

Pressure from where?

DenreleDave:
why just yoruba only?

are there no south south or ibos that can take up this role

whic kind president b dis

this is not encouraging at all

Some of you need to be informed before making public comments. It’s a constitutional requirement for every state to be represented. That’s the only rep from oyo state

hegelian:
none means no functional one

Haba

A whole Anambra State didn't have a functional primary health care centre?

Ah ah

Really, there was no primary health care in Anambra before he came governor?

Haba

Small small nah

Lordhanzo:
[center] There is a recurring problem at the heart of Atiku Abubakar’s presidential ambition: it is long on persistence and painfully short on clarity. After decades in Nigeria’s political and economic elite—including eight years as Vice President from 1999 to 2007—he is not an outsider to the system’s failures; he is a product of them. And that makes his vagueness on reform all the more glaring.

Atiku’s central economic idea—privatisation—has been a constant refrain. But repetition is not the same as a plan. Nigeria has heard this before, including during the Obasanjo administration in which Atiku played a key role. That era did pursue privatisation, yet it also left behind unresolved structural issues: power sector inefficiencies, entrenched patronage networks, and a state still heavily burdened by corruption and weak institutions. Invoking the same approach today without a detailed, updated framework for execution, transparency, and social impact is not policy—it’s nostalgia.

More troubling is the lack of specificity when it matters most. On critical issues—currency instability, subsidy reform, insecurity, and youth unemployment—Atiku’s public proposals often remain at the level of broad commitments rather than operational detail. “We will fix,” “we will reform,” “we will attract investment”—these are not strategies; they are placeholders. A country facing multi-layered crises cannot afford leadership that communicates in generalities.

There is also the question of credibility. Atiku has run for president multiple times across different political platforms, adapting his message to the moment but rarely deepening it. Longevity in politics can be an asset, but in this case it raises an uncomfortable question: if decades of proximity to power have not produced a sharper, more coherent governing vision, why should Nigerians expect one to materialise now?

Contrast that with the demands of the present. Nigeria’s challenges are not abstract—they are technical, urgent, and unforgiving. They require detailed fiscal strategies, security architecture reforms, and institutional restructuring that go beyond familiar talking points. Yet Atiku’s campaign continues to operate at a level of abstraction that suggests either an unwillingness or an inability to engage with that complexity.

The danger here is not simply that Atiku might fail to transform Nigeria. It is that he represents a continuity of political thinking that has already failed it: elite recycling, policy vagueness, and an overreliance on reputation instead of results.

At some point, persistence stops looking like determination and starts looking like entitlement. And Nigeria, in its current state, cannot afford another presidency built on the assumption that wanting power is the same as being prepared to use it effectively.[/center]

You didn’t write this. We know what you did

Gotocourt:
Omorr , all is obviously not well. Aso Villa Bandit might end up going back

Baba didn't even escort his guest to his car🤷🏿. Just at the varenda

You called someone a bandit and you couldn’t even spell simple words correctly?

You’re a bandit of sorts as well: a grammar bandit!

God1000:
I'm NOT catholic BUT when it comes to being a decent human being I have to go with the pope, he's a true servant of God

You dont have to say you're not catholic to make your point.

Many catholics or non catholics may not agree with the pope.

Itsofficial:
Man knows himself this is from a popular Greek Philosopher. To my Igbo brothers why do you play into the hands of your enemies then turn around to say they hate us.

Before some of you will come for me I am not from Yoruba, Hausa/Fulani or neither am I from Igbo as a matter of fact my wife is Igbo and I was having this same discussion with her when the South Africa Igbo Kingship started.

If actually Igbos know themselves what on earth will Igbo man be thinking to consider becoming a King, Eze, president general or whatever you call it in Ghana, South Africa or even any African countries considering the hatred these countries have for Nigerians and amplified by the Yorubas and the funniest part is when these countries speak evil about Nigerians the Yorubas will try to distance themselves and pour more fuel by saying they are Igbos that is how they behave without knowing that what goes around comes around as long as you’re a Nigerian they hate you, a case in point is recently in Ghana the Ghanaians are telling the Yorubas descendants in Ghana that they are not Ghanaians after hundreds of years that they should go to Nigeria.

And to my Igbo brothers please we must not grandstand in everything anywhere you find yourself just live your life quietly make your money genuinely. If you know yourself you’ll understand envy exists the reason you live your life quietly.

Again, I will not be surprised if lessons are not learnt from my Igbo brothers with the Ghana and South Africa King/Eze incident because before the end of this year we might hear another Igbo man trying to be King or Eze in another African country.

Lastly, enough is enough let us stop this madness of becoming King or Eze outside Igbo land since people do not like it and it doesn’t add anything to any Igbo man or woman in that country. For me I don’t care if you answer the King of Igbo or Eze in my State Rivers or even in my village, but if others say no then stop and move ahead after all the primary purpose of you been in that country or state is for greener pasture to make money. However, if you disobey the already constituted authority or do not pay homage to the King of my land we go against you.

Oh, I missed when Ghanaians told their Yoruba descendants to go back to Nigeria.

Do you have any link to share?

CJStarz:
Which one be COURTISM biko?
It's CULTISM

You should commend him for manufacturing another word

Courtism means when cultism is suspected by a boss or a court of law

saintbillion:
He's talking about 2027 election when his tomorrow is not even assured. That's a warning from God

How did you know it’s a warning?

How did you know the warning is from God?

Did God speak with you?

Are you also assured of tomorrow?

Don’t you have plans for the future?

Kenn55:
Nigerians showing more concern for people abroad than showing concern for Nigerians living in Nigeria.

Can you guys channel this energy on japa issues to fixing Nigeria?

Kenn55 showing more concern for Nigerians living in Nigeria than showing concern for himself.

Can you channel this energy on Nigerians issues to fixing yourself?

Elusive001:

Senator billboard that Seyi's candidate wil beat before 12PM.

Infact Adelabu and Teslim will do better than him.

Alli kó,simbi ni.

It’s okay. It’s your own opinion.

Truths9ja:
Alli should forget it, he can't get the APC ticket

So, who will get it?

Truths9ja:
not true. The governorship primary will be direct primary and not consensus.

Different from what was resolved at the APC national convention?

She should apply at a tattoo parlour

In which country has she seen anyone looking like this employed in a hotel or bank?

press9jatv:
Niyi Akintola SAN said that Sharafa Alli is now an Oba and he can't do politics:

“The fact that the newly elevated kings were not present at the ceremony yesterday doesn't invalidate the event. One of them wrote to be promoted and the Government has done the right thing and everything that happened yesterday was in the ambiance of the law, people should go and read

The Olubadan was represented by Oba Tajudeen Ajibola, the Balogun Olubadan, he even made a speech on behalf of the Olubadan and the Olubadan has not denied that, the deputy Gov also represented the Governor and that doesn't mean the Gov was not there

Each of the newly crowned kings has now become His Royal Highness, people are just writing all sort on the social media because they are ignorant of the culture and the tradition of Ibadan land

High chief Adedibu wasn't even an Oba before he was barred from Politics, it took the intervention of people like Late Arisekola to douse the tension at the palace that year, it's the tradition here and it must be respected, people should go and read”

- Chief Niyi Akintola (S.A.N)

Nonsense

So, who barred Adedibu from politics?

It's not illegal in Nigeria for an oba or a chief to participate in politics.

bolaayenimo:
Akintola is talking nonsense

I don't even think he was the one who uttered the nonsense. It may have been made up.

Any part 2 law student who spews that nonsense should be rusticated, not to talk of a SAN

Onucs:
This is what VDM meant when he said the youths are not ready.

This one never even get office, e wan create her own office for stealing. Spits

They are not ready

Tjra:
Yes, it is. It is obtaining under false pretenses.

If those who contributed towards her medicals come together, a class action can be instituted against her.

Only one of those who donated is even enough to file a case against her

zopaks:
Them go deny am.
Wike is most likely his backbone

What's your evidence?

ZombieTERROR:
legal department of APc you mean?

You , a Twitter warrior, a trumpeter for incompetent APc , Tinubu who are supervising ethnic cleansing in Nigeria. over taxation and money borrowing..
knows more than an ex inec director..

You're more interested in insults than in making sensible comments

I noticed your lack of thinking ability in the way you chose to insult me without knowing me. In youe delusion, anyone who disagrees with your warped view is all you called me.

Again, you didn't bother to address the issue. Your small mind is fixated on the former position of the director without having the common sense to know that inec has many other sitting and former directors including a whole legal department

Next time, think before making comments or else what is happening to adc shall be your portion.

ZombieTERROR:
Wike, Kachikwu, Kayamo, etc knows more than the ex INEC director?

never...

they're all sycophants, killing this country

It's clear Amupitan is an APc mole
he showed his hands too early

The former inec director knows more than the entire legal department of inec?

alsudan:
This is coming from the longest serving Director of Voter Education and one of most experienced INEC Official ever.

Amupitan should not set our Country on Fire. The window is still there for him to choose Nigeria over anybody.

Nigeria is no Uganda, Equitorial Guinee, Congo or Cameroon. Life Presidency can never work here, if in doubt, go and ask Abacha.

Try and read what he said with an open mind.

He is not clear. His argument is not valid.

ddippset:
This is the handiwork of Tinubu and APC. Anyone who cannot see this is either pretending or very low in intelligence..

For the first time in our history all the major political parties have factions and crises at the same time, same election period.
You call that a coincidence?

Some might say it was a court order, but we know that script.

There is no political party without Internal issues but when a ruling party uses Federal power to fuel the crises it becomes demonic.

Even APC had problems when they removed Ganduje before the end of his tenure.

If what happened to Ganduje was in ADC, PDP or LP,,,,,,,the ruling party APC would have put their hand to use Ganduje to break up the party.
Ganduje would have been urged to go to court to scatter the party.

Tinubu, his enforcers and his APC should leave opposition parties alone to handle their problems, they should stop using state institutions to fuel crises and divisions in other parties..

Something isn’t clear to me

Rafiu went to court to challenge the emergence of Mark and that he ought to have emerged as the chairman after the resignation of Nwosu

There was also something mentioned about forgery

Is this not the case?

DeclanR:
I mentioned this even two weeks before now and I'm glad it has finally happened.

He will go down history as the worst power minister Nigeria ever had. The guy looted enough funds in order to enhance his gubernatorial campaigns. It's quite sad that he's the next Oyo State governor cos I can't see GSM getting it for his anointed successor

Penkelems is a Mess.

How will a Banker even be minister of power?
I know some will argue that there's nothing wrong in that, but come on, it matters a lot.

Imagine The current ADC spokesman, Abdullahi Bolaji as a former sports minister and Solomon Dalong. These two have no passion for sports and knew nothing in their roles.
How about Fashola a lawyer, and minister of power?
A minister of education who has no knowledge about How education can be improved upon and who never studied any education related courses.
Square pegs in round holes

How do you know that he looted?

RightChannel:
This is Friday October 15 1993 guardian news paper. You can zoom the picture

Are you this slow?

From the interview, Tinubu had returned from exile

Was there anything like exile in your manufactured 1993?

Honestly, most of you are pathetic as opposition

Spits!

RightChannel:
Meanwhile in 1993 he was 52-year-old but today he is 74

Where did you see 1993? Una go just siddon dey manufacture rubbish
