donphilopus: The Presidential candidate of the APC and incoming President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has arrived Kebbi State for his campaign rally.
The Criminal is going around without let or hindrance yet he is mobilising armed thugs to attack his opponents' supporters in Lagos State . He is forming democrat but just like the proverbial leopard, it's difficult to hide the spots of an organised crime boss!
AntonVince: This is what our once-hallowed Judiciary has been reduced to under this Lukuluku-looking clown…a completely desecrated statement-issuing political outfit shamelessly enmeshed in partisan politics.
Tell us AriwoOle: How much did Akpabio and Lawan pay you to steal senatorial tickets despite not taking part in their party primaries?
Crooks hiding behind technicalities to perpetrate evil. Awon ole onise ibi gbogbo!
rexel99: Very immature from the spokesman. Its unfortunate that ever since the current CJN assumed office this spokesman has been unnecessarily dabbling in the public domain dishing out press statement with big grammar just to impress himself and his boss. We have seen how other CJN and spokesmen have conducted themselves in the past. There was no reason to start responding to every Tom, dick and Harry. That's more mature, instead of attacking anything.
From the foregoing, its obvious that all this spokesman's bile, diatribes and threats are sanctioned by the CJN. Very unnecessary, in my opinion. The CJN is no doubt starting on the wrong footing, and he should just be careful.
Its sad that the guy is beginning to sound like the DSS spokesman, threatening everyone and communicating in a very immature manner.
It's shocking........I was wondering if it was a press release from a political party spokesperson!
JAGS001: Obidients trying hard to paint Tinubu with bad names since their Biafra candidates can only get chance if BAT is not on the ballot but nah Asiwaju lokan haters go and keep wailing till coming of jezz
IslamIsIdiotic: Dear Family. Can you now see that everything is falling into place just as we all suspected?
The contempt which APC has for Nigerians has never been hidden. For the past one year of campaigning, Bola Ahmed Tinubu (who is also known to Nigerians by several less palatable nicknames and soubriquets) has essentially been bragging to Nigerians that his party’s 8 years of monumental failure has no political consequences:
You Nigerians owe me a debt of gratitude for imposing a visionless and clueless failure on you back in 2015.
You must elect me as President as a way of thanking me for giving you 8 years of banditry, herdsmen killings/rapes/kidnaps, record breaking inflation, record breaking depreciation of naira value, the longest strike in ASUU history, the worst fuel scarcity/scarcities in history, the worst naira scarcity in history, the inability to travel on highways for fear of kidnapping etc etc etc
It has become clear to anyone with even a half dead brain that APC does not care about Nigerians.
Indeed, even if your brain is slow (and I am referring to APC’s diehard supporters here), 8 years of being exposed to APC’s never ending failures ought to have been more than enough time to wake you up. APC only cares about its chances of winning elections so that its members can continue to enrich themselves by plundering the nation’s commonwealth at the expense of the ordinary hardworking Nigerian.
But the rank and file of APC knows that based on their party’s abysmal track record of 8 years of enduring failure, incompetence, greed and compound corruption, their party can NEVER win any free and fair election in Nigeria. So what was their back up plan?
First, they created an artificial scarcity of the most important financial and material resources in the country (Dollars, Naira, Petrol etc) then they monopolized these resources so they can dole out stipends to their sycophants and anyone else who is willing to bow down and kiss the rotten, decomposing and diseased buttocks of the APC presidential candidate as an act of self-humiliation.
On the 25th of February, APC wants Nigerians to crawl to the polling units on their hands and knees in a state of complete humiliation and desperation, hungry and thirsty for the handouts which APC will throw to them, the way one throws bones to a hungry dog. APC wants this because APC doesn’t care about the pain and suffering it is inflicting on Nigerians.
This is why the attitude of Nigerians come February 25th is going to be so important. If APC wins the presidential elections on the 25th of February 2023, it will essentially amount to a collective admission by Nigerians that they want even more of everything they have been experiencing since 2015.
The important question which can only be answered on the 25th of February is:
I could have said I appreciate your efforts for putting up this rubbish together to.make a useless points. ..but I would not... because MOD will ban me...
I could also have said your thinking is far below your age but I wouldn't wants to say this because I MOD will ban me...
But what so ever the case, just keep up the useless job your are doing....i don't mean to say this also because MOD might ban me....3
Enjoy your stipend while it lasts and is legal tender......After 25th February, Pablo Escobar will no longer have any use for urchins.

Adaisback: Oshomole ntorr! The people have shown you who gat Edo state. Even Tinubu no too sure of Lagos State. Rivers state are waiting with big stones for Wike to dare endorse Tinubu. Have you seen Abuja? that one na the motherland of obedients while Edo na their papa.
JAMO84: Even if the Supreme Court did not tell you, you don't have eyes to see what your useless policy has coursed? Obi and Atiku will see Shege on election day, what they thought will be the downfall of Bola Tinubu is now a blessing to him, Nigerians with sense now love him for speaking up against Emefailure and his northern puppeteers.
CyynthiaKiss: I dont know what Tinubu supporters are really celebrating
There would be hearing on 15 of Feb, thereby aggravating the situation of those that are still hoarding old notes even when they all have enough time to deposit everything in the bank..
Tears go full GP tank that day because they only succeeded in postponing their doomsday.. Emefele won't succumb to any pressure because he has the backing of the presidency..
Oh, some of you think that they didn't know there would be pressure from different angles before they took this decision ?
THEY ARE WELL PREPARED FOR EVERYTHING THAT MIGHT SERVE AS A STUMBLING BLOCK TO THIS POLICY .
Opintiwa: 2023: Yoruba elders are playing politics of greed, where’s the ‘omoluabi’ ethos?
By Olu Fasan
BOLA Ahmed Tinubu, presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress, APC, always has the extraordinary capacity to split Afenifere, the pan-Yoruba socio-politicalgroup. He has the uncanny ability to wrap Afenifere and some of its leaders around his finger and twist them as he wishes to serve his purpose.
Tinubu rode on Afenifere’s coattails to become governor of Lagos State in 1999, but once he acquired political invincibility, fuelled by state resources, he turned ruthlessly on the group. To further his political interests,Tinubu divided Afenifere, pocketed some of its leaders and sponsored a renegade faction called “Afenifere Renewal Group.”
But the mainstream Afenifere regrouped and acquired national respectability under the energetic and principled leadership of Chief Ayo Adebanjo. Now, however, in pursuit of his “lifelong ambition” to become Nigeria’s president, Tinubu has again ruptured Afenifere. He has set Chief Reuben Fasoranti, the group’s supposedly retired and hitherto reclusive leader, against Chief Adebanjo, Afenifere’s public face, as well as its intellectual and moral force.
Last week, Tinubu led APC chieftains in the South-West to Chief Fasoranti’s house in Akure, Ondo State. Front pages of major Nigerian newspapers published a picture of Chief Fasoranti laying his hands on Tinubu’s head and blessing his presidential ambition. Later, Chief Fasoranti declared: “I am still the leader of Afenifere,” adding that “Afenifereis endorsing Tinubu for the presidency.”
Really? But that contradicts Chief Adebanjo’s earlier statement at a widely publicised press conference when, flanked by Afenifere’s Deputy Leader, Secretary-General and other key leaders, he declared the organisation’s support for Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a subsequent statement, Chief Sola Ebiseni, Secretary-General of Afenifere, said the group’s decision to support Obi was well-thought-out and principled. The decision may, indeed, have been well-thought-out and principled, but Chief Adebanjo and his leadership team underestimated the skulduggery of the Tinubu high command and its ability to prey on Afenifere’s soft underbelly: pliable and biddable elders.
I mean, why is Chief Fasoranti even a dramatis personae in this saga? In March 2021, he resigned as the Afenifere leader due to old age, saying: “At 95, I am hardly able to provide active leadership.” He then handed over the group’s leadership to his then deputy, Chief Adebanjo, who he described as “a politician of the Awolowo school of thought.” So, why would Pa Fasoranti undermine Pa Adebanjo, 94, on a decision that aligns with Chief Awolowo’s philosophy or school of thought? And why would he suddenly emerge from virtual recluse to claim the mantle of “the leader of Afenifere”?
This is not a perfect analogy but consider its morals. In February 2013, Pope Benedict XVI resigned due to old age. Pope Francis succeeded him. Some feared tension because of Benedict’s strong traditional and conservative views and Francis’ liberal stances. But, since 2013, Benedict has said or done absolutely nothing to undermine Pope Francis, and Catholic Bishops who disagree with Pope Francis’ liberal positions do not collude with Benedict to sabotage Pope Francis’ leadership. That’s what happens in moral organisations; when a leader resigns, he doesn’t undermine his successor or destroy the organisation.
But Chief Fasoranti came out of the woodwork to undermine Chief Adebanjo and split Afenifere. He said: “I didn’t retire from the leadership of Afenifere. I was misinterpreted”, despite the resignation-cum-appointment letter he wrote to Chief Adebanjo. “All future Afenifere meetings,” he said, ”would henceforth be held at his residence at Akure.” Of course, he later did a U-turn, affirming Chief Adebanjo as Afenifere leader and saying the group’s meetings would continue to take place in his residence. But the damage is done!
Given that this is all about Tinubu’s ambition, one must ask: Why did Pa Fasoranti allow Tinubu to use him to destabilise Afenifere? This question is interesting for two reasons. First, for many years, Tinubu did not recognise Chief Fasoranti as the leader of Afenifere. It was Chief Ayo Fasanmi that Tinubu and South-West APC governors feted as the Afenifere leader. Second, under Chief Fasoranti’s leadership, Afenifere never supported Tinubu’s party, APC. In 2015, Afenifere supported President Goodluck Jonathan over General Muhammadu Buhari; and, in 2019, it endorsed Atiku Abubakar over Buhari.
May be you don't know, Pa Adebanjo has never contested any election in his life.
Secondly, Tinubu became his enemy bcoz he left his party AD to form a new party AC. Since then in 2007, have you heard of AD again? Adebanjo was AD chairman then so Tinubu collected feeding bottle from his mouth and he's still angry till today even at 94yrs.
Pandev: Awọn ọmọ Igbo are angry that the more they attack Tinubu, the stronger Jagaban becomes. Now they're tearing banner. Imagine it was Andrew liver salts' banner, they would have been crying on Twitter now, telling us how democracy is in danger. Don't worry, 25th is here...
