The North Was Supposed to Have Rejected APC. Then Kano Voted.

For months, Nigeria's social media warriors, assisted by professional prophets of doom and election astrologers, have confidently informed us that APC is dead in the North.

Dele Momodu and the usual online commentators assured us that the North had moved on and that 2027 was already settled.

Then the voters of Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency in Kano showed up.

And they voted.

The result?

APC's Shuaibu Rabiu secured over 35,000 votes. The nearest challenger barely crossed a few hundred votes.

Apparently, the obituary writers forgot to inform the electorate that APC had already died.

This is the difference between politics and social media.

Social media rewards noise.

Democracy rewards organisation.

For all the endless declarations that "Nigerians have rejected APC," one simple question remains:

Rejected by whom?

By YouTube channels?

By Twitter spaces?

By professional outrage merchants?

Because elections have a cruel habit of exposing fantasies.

The same people who spent months predicting APC's funeral are now preparing the usual excuses.

"Incumbency."

"Bread."

"Vote buying."

"State power."

Anything but the possibility that voters may have made a choice they dislike.

Perhaps the opposition should spend less time manufacturing narratives and more time manufacturing votes.

Because anti-Tinubu sentiment is not a manifesto.

Hashtags are not structures.

And outrage is not organisation.

As for the social media warriors, one can only sympathise.

Once again, reality has rudely interrupted prophecy.

And once again, the ballot box has proved itself a far harsher examiner than Twitter.

Votes speak.

Echo chambers merely echo.

favor914:
What of the ADC, & NDC how many percent did they poll?

Burob:
It will be the same as the 2023 general election, just that president Tinubu will win by a lot more margin.

Subsequently Obidients & their cousin Atiku lators will shout rigging.

EYENECK has to sit up because this 2027 general election is the most devastating rigging that has happened in the history of presidential elections in Nigeria.

Cry for help to that same judiciary that is in the pocket of Tinubu & Wike?

Obi is the pawn in this election just like in 2023, he is being used to stop Atiku from winning, he is working for President Tinubu.

WizardOfNG:
Momodu is a disgrace same as all Southerners working for Atiku to usurp the turn of the South per the rotation agreement.

There won't be a single Northerner who will agree to work for a Southern Presidential candidate attempting to usurp the turn of the North.

I am really ashamed of Southerners. It is our cowardice and lack of principles that has allowed the North to become the over-privileged big problem it is to Nigeria today.

Atiku for where ? Too many Southerners act like b1tches and when you do that you give others the signal to dominate you.

The likes of Dele Momodu are the reason the core North has now become a major problem for Nigeria today when we should have all stood our ground ages ago to insist they shape up or ship out.

Focusmind:
I wonder how the opposition think that they would be able to unseat a determined incumbent. Someone that "won" against all odds in 2023. Now that he is in power, with full control of executive and judicial powers, you want to unseat him.

Mynd44:
As of today, I don't see a single southern state Atiku can get 25% from as long as Tinubu as Obi are on the ballot.

As for Dele Momodu saying he will compete in Osun, the only reason he won last time was Governor Adeleke, with that support gone, Atiku will struggle.

The one thing atiku can pray 🙏 for is to get the highest votes and fight for a rerun which is difficult

Today’s Elections Are the First Real Referendum on 2027

For months, Nigerians have been bombarded with grand claims. We have been told that “Nigerians have rejected APC,” that “the masses are angry,” and that “2027 is already settled.”

Well, today, rhetoric meets reality.

The Ekiti governorship election and the bye-elections across Kano, Kebbi, Ondo, Rivers, Nasarawa and Enugu represent the first real political test ahead of the 2027 general election.

Unlike social media polls, YouTube channels and comment sections where everyone conveniently speaks on behalf of “Nigerians,” elections provide something far more valuable: actual votes.

Those who routinely and fraudulently ascribe their personal feelings to 200 million Nigerians now have an opportunity to test their assumptions.

Those who insist that APC has been totally rejected can demonstrate it at the ballot box.

Likewise, the opposition, which has spent the last three years feeding on outrage and declaring victory in advance, now has a chance to convert online enthusiasm into electoral reality.

Democracy does not operate on hashtags.

It operates on votes.

The ballot box remains the only credible opinion poll.

By the time the results start coming in, all parties — APC included — will have fresh data on where they stand and what work remains to be done.

This is why today's elections matter.

Not because they will determine 2027.

But because they will expose who truly has popular support and who has merely mistaken noise for numbers.

As always, votes speak louder than vibes.

blamingthedevil:
The Ekiti governorship election is a major test of the strength, structure, and electoral capacity of opposition parties such as the ADC and others. Elections are won through grassroots organization, voter mobilization, strategic planning, and strong political structures—not merely through social media enthusiasm.

If the APC secures victory in Ekiti today, it will send a strong signal about the current political realities on the ground and the challenges facing the opposition ahead of 2027. Ekiti remains an important political battleground, and the outcome will be closely watched across the country. The election is taking place today, June 20, 2026, as scheduled by INEC.

Once again, many political observers believe the opposition still faces significant hurdles in building a nationwide coalition capable of challenging the ruling party. Based on the current political landscape, supporters of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remain confident that he will be a strong contender in the 2027 presidential election.

As always, the final decision will rest with Nigerian voters at the ballot box

DomPerignon:
The Abia state Airport is a federal govt initiative and project .

Otti is only providing land allocation for it

One naira is not coming out of Abia state purse other than that being used to settle communities whose land is being taken for the project.

The Abia state govt only reviewed the project and asked the FG to increase the runway length and then went to allocate more land for the project .

That's the only money he is contributing to this project and it's going to paying compensation to communities whose land were allocated for the project

Stop hyping nonsense and give credit to where it is due which in this case is the Federal govt led by Tinubu.

This is the only federal airport constructed in the last 30ys and Abia state begged for it to be cited in their state.

Why can't Abia construct an airport like Bayelsa did under Dickson or like that of Akwa Ibom under Akpabio.

This is how you guys will see the good works of Tinubu in your region but will either deny it, downgrade it and in this case deliberately falsely claim it is your Otti constructing it

Owoino:
Imagine celebrating someone who got a third class degree, Obidients are a joke.

CharlesCNG:
Typical Obidient — once they can’t respond to the issue, everybody becomes “data boy.”

Mentioning Obi is legitimate because Obi is not a private citizen in this debate; he is the political product you people marketed as the alternative. If we are discussing 2027, opposition strategy, Labour Party collapse, coalition confusion, Obidient behaviour, or South-East political bargaining, Obi is central to the conversation.

You cannot build an entire movement around one man, shout his name for three years, insult everyone who questions him, then suddenly develop allergy when his record, choices and consequences are examined.

So no, mentioning Obi is not obsession. It is accountability.

What is childish is dodging the point and shouting “data boy” because facts have refused to obey your emotions.

helinues:
Okay, Obi is bigger than Kwankwanso meaning Kwankwanso won't bring much votes to the table as VP

We are actually saying the same thing

CharlesCNG:
Obidient spotted.!!

You people are becoming painfully predictable.

Make a substantive point, and instead of addressing it, you get "data boy," "BATist," or some other tired label.
It's like arguing with a broken record stuck on repeat.

Notice what happened here. A point was raised about consistency in attitudes towards judicial decisions. Rather than address the substance, you immediately resorted to sarcasm and name-calling.

This is precisely the problem with this bunch. Deflection has become a substitute for argument.

You accuse others of not thinking, yet your response contains no rebuttal, no facts, no counterargument—just labels.

A serious mind engages points. A partisan mind attacks personalities.

And that is why many people no longer take this obidients brand of politics seriously. It has become an echo chamber where disagreement is treated as heresy and insults are mistaken for intelligence.

If all you have in response to an argument is "data boy," then perhaps the data is winning.

seunmsg:
On what basis did the Appeal Court issue an order stopping the trial court from giving judgement in a case it has jurisdiction to hear? That in itself is an abuse of court process. You cannot abuse the court process by trying to use the appeal court to stop the high court from performing its constitutional duties only to turn around and accuse the trial court of abuse of court process. That's wrong.

Whatever the case is, the High court has given judgement and the judgement remains valid until it is set aside by a superior court. Till then, Accord is no longer a recognized political party in Nigeria.

HacheNoire:
Why is Peter always trying hard to tarnish the image of our reputable judges!

Peter is educated and should know how to address matters when he does not welcome a judgement. It’s not a hidden secret.

NDC even has higher chances of getting registered in 2031 because it’s already glaring they won’t meet up with the criteria.

Akpakomiza2:
What Tinubu will get in the north will bury obi votes down south as usual. Obi can't win NC

Akpakomiza2:
You are missing the point, that was never the plan. The strategy is still based on 2023. Win SW, divide SS, win NC, divide NE NW or lose narrowly. Any other thing is just political talk. Obi being in the race is what is even helping Tinubu. Obi not contesting or contesting with Atiku is advantage Atiku.

Akpakomiza2:
Was obi not a contender on the ticket in 2019? Don't forget the Anglicans rival the Catholics and will vote against obi. Again, Ebonyi, Abia and Enugu are dominated by Pentecostal churches. Close is good enough, Tinubu doesn't need 25% in SE as long as he will get it in other states.

Akpakomiza2:
What will atiku generate? Tinubu will get close to 25% in Imo , Enugu and Ebonyi this time just like buhari 2019

Hussein035:
PBAT has a framework for Nigeria progress an he is implementing it, check google to see what PBAT has done

Tell Obi to explain what he will do differently since Obi is clueless

zionstaar75:
i don't know whether i should call the stupidity of Peter obi supporters natural.see thousands of people who came to the rally so it's only the 10 people in the video that will win ebony state for Peter and abi?I'm sure this one commenting didn't watch the video sef

Mynd44:
And? The rhyme is not synonymous to Peter Obi. It is a ryhme people of Igbo Extraction has been using even before peter Obi was born.

It is a popular, high-energy Nigerian folk chant and street rhythm. It is frequently used as a motivational tune during marching, jogging, or sporting events to boost morale and energy.
