A serial party-hopper who failed to deliver anything remarkable in a relatively small state like Anambra over eight years is unlikely to succeed in managing a complex country like Nigeria in just four. What we’re witnessing now is a group of disgruntled actors desperately trying to rebrand a non-performer as effective, and an ideologically hollow politician as a man of principle.

The political losers and habitual wailers want to rewrite history to ease their pain ahead of an imminent electoral defeat. President Tinubu is a committed democrat who played a role in the struggle for the restoration of democracy, while some of those criticizing him today once aligned themselves with military rule.

Asiwaju is firmly positioned for 2027; all that’s left for his critics is to keep spinning propaganda and conspiracy theories. He will complete his second term and leave office at the constitutionally stipulated time. History cannot be rewritten.

Some serial party hoppers, disgruntled elements and politically inept actors hijacked an existing party and displaced its established leadership, plunging it into turmoil. Instead of reflecting and addressing their self-inflicted problems, they’ve stayed true to form—pointing fingers at imagined enemies. This only highlights their incompetence and ideological bankruptcy. In the end, their efforts amount to nothing.

“It’s better to jaw-jaw than to war-war.” — Winston Churchill.
Lot of kids calling for conflict online at the slightest provocation act like war is a game of ping-pong, when in reality it carries serious consequences.

iwaeda:
Tinubu is really afraid of 2027. He doesn't want opposition. He is not beyond 2027. Let him higher Kachikwu too. How can Bala alone be NWC?.

This isn’t the first time you’ve pushed the same baseless narrative, the same tired 2023 script that fell apart like a house of cards. You’ll finally rest after facing a crushing defeat in the 2027 elections.

Macphenson:
Tinubu through INEC frustrated every effort to register a political party. It has been in the public domain. That's the reason the coalition decided to adopt an existing party because INEC frustrated efforts to register new ones.

That’s a fallacy and misinformation from a figment of your imagination. INEC has registered many political parties. There has never been a time when INEC denied any political party that applied for registration.

Old cargoes in a new body, masquerading as champions of democracy. It’s better you do the right thing and stop disturbing our peace

Some serial party hoppers, disgruntled elements, politically deficient figures, and out-of-favour politicians are masquerading as champions of democracy in a bid to find their way back to power and once again enjoy its spoils.
It is their right to protest; they will go home when they are tired.

All this “Tinubu this, Tinubu that” talk… you couldn’t defeat him in 2023 despite the coordinated social media attacks, propaganda, currency redesign, endless court cases, and political gimmicks. It was the same tired script and playbook, and it all collapsed like a pack of cards. Now you’ve started again, history is about to repeat itself. This time, you’ll face a decisive defeat and learn the hard way.

The only battlefield where the Iranian regime is winning is social media. In reality, their top commanders, political hierarchy, and critical military infrastructure are being systematically dismantled.

ADC is a vehicle to advance Atiku’s presidential ambition; the other candidates are merely pawns on the political chessboard, especially Peter Obi. Any other thing is just to deceive the usual gullible Obidients and to give keyboard warriors something to console themselves with.

Zico5:
Only a fool will continue to believe in Tinubu with this level of impunity in our polity. Just like Peter Obi said, Abacha is more democratic than what we are witnessing currently. The best the opposition can do is to cry to the international bodies for help just like APC did in 2014. These people at the helm of affairs of this nation currently do not care so far they get what they want. There supporters are even worse. It's getting too bad gradually.

If your claim were truly factual and you made such a statement under Abacha’s regime, you and your likes wouldn’t get away with it and likely be in the gulag by now. Some people would better understand the reality if they had experienced even a fraction of the military junta’s tyranny. But here you are, free to spew gibberish simply because your preferred candidate lost the election.

He’s full of contradictions—claiming the man was cheated, yet also alleging the presidency orchestrated the crisis. It would be better if these serial party hoppers and empty politicians chose a position and stayed consistent. Only deluded individuals keep blaming others for problems of their own making.

How would you describe a man who once labeled certain people as a “structure of criminality” but is now aligning with them, is it confusion, hypocrisy, or desperation? By the time this serial party hopper realizes what’s happening, it may already be too late, and all the effort would have been in vain.

Some Nigerians are quick to point accusing fingers at others for problems of their own making, yet rarely pause to reflect or make corrections. There’s a clear resistance to accountability.

Respect the laws of any place you find yourself, it's a reflection of your character and a way to uphold your country’s image. When you conduct yourself responsibly and stay within the rules, you not only earn respect for yourself but also represent your nation with dignity and integrity.

They’re back at it again, manufacturing illusions to keep keyboard warriors busy and handing gullible supporters another dose of imaginary, short-lived electoral victory.
If all the coordinated media noise, endless propaganda, courtroom drama, and even policy gymnastics like the currency redesign couldn’t stop him in 2023, then believing 2027 will be any different is not just naïve, it’s political self-deception at its finest.
Asiwaju, the master strategist, isn’t just ahead of the game, he’s playing chess while his critics are still struggling to understand the rules.

Racoon:
Political alignment and realignment. Abba Kabir is toast in Kano. Can't believe this man will join Gandollar despite what Kwankwaso did for him. The betrayal will be well returned.

How would you describe the Agulu saviour Peter Obi who once labeled certain people as a “structure of criminality” but is now aligning with them, is it confusion, hypocrisy, or desperation?

LagosOrigin:
Tinubu will not sleep well this night . He fought tooth and nail to keep kwankwaso on his side but kwankwaso rubbished him and instead invite Peter Obi to Kano state .

Everyone should get his/her PVC and let's vote massive for ADC . That way, INEC will find it difficult to rig for tinubu.

Same thing you did during the 2023 elections, pushing propaganda, wailing, and spinning conspiracy theories, yet it all collapsed like a pack of cards. Asiwaju, your supposed master and tormentor, still emerged victorious, to the point you even changed your username on Nairaland.

The same outcome awaits you in 2027, and this time it may be even more brutal, since you seem determined to learn the hard way.

The opposition had their best chance in 2023, and still fumbled it. Since then, the political ground has only shifted further out of their reach.

What’s happening now is mostly noise, content for keyboard warriors to cling to, a make-believe sense of momentum dressed up as progress. Strip it down, and the opposition is just going through the motions, with no clear strategy or credible path to power.

They came at him with everything in 2023, media offensives, courtroom battles, propaganda, currency policy drama, and all sorts of political theatrics and still couldn’t get it done. Now he’s the incumbent, with all the advantages that come with it, and they expect a different outcome? That’s not strategy; that’s denial.

Asiwaju is still playing chess while his opponents are stuck arguing over the rules. At this rate, 2027 doesn’t look like a contest, it looks like a confirmation.

The serial party hopper, Peter Obi, lacks both the intellectual capacity and political acumen required to effectively organize, lead, and articulate a coherent vision for the people or a political party.

What we are witnessing is nothing more than political whitewashing and superficial packaging, efforts to portray Obi as a competent leader, which he does not merit. Essentially, this is an attempt to rebrand a chronic non-performer as a capable politician and a hollow opportunist as a principled statesman.

Another writer wrapped in ignorance, parading misinformation as expertise, misleading the gullible with loud confidence and empty substance. A textbook example of noise over knowledge, where arrogance replaces facts and deception is dressed up as insight.

Just as they hyped a serial party hopper into a 2023 defeat, they seem set to repeat the same playbook toward another political setback in 2027. It raises a fair question, are they unwilling to learn, or do they only learn the hard way?

They turned social media hype into false hope in 2023, and they’re repeating the same mistake heading into 2027. Hashtags aren’t votes.
When reality hits, they’ll look for someone to blame for what was clearly self-inflicted.

Do the “Obidients” movement still exist in any meaningful sense? Beyond social media, their presence appears minimal. What we mostly see are occasional bursts of online noise attempting to revive a fading political relevance.

They seem to lack the experience, structure, and strategic depth required to compete in national elections. Winning at that level takes far more than hashtags and trending conversations.

At this point, the movement comes across as being driven largely by social media hype and conspiracy-laced narratives, loud in digital spaces, but with limited impact where it truly counts.

A serial party hopper with no tangible legacy after eight years in a small state is suddenly being marketed as a national saviour. No clear economic blueprint, just buzzwords, recycled talking points, staged optics, and shaky statistics.

This is what desperation looks like: repackaging a non-performer as a reformer and selling a hollow politician as a principled one. Nigeria is far too complex to be governed by vibes, PR stunts, and social media theatrics.

Strip away the noise, and what’s left is an overhyped illusion headed for a very real, very public collapse.
A political wild-goose chase, destined to end in premium tears and a crushing defeat.

This is just another staged spectacle to keep keyboard warriors busy. The political landscape has shifted significantly, and it’s not in the opposition’s favour. If they couldn’t defeat him in 2023 despite relentless social media attacks, prolonged court battles, propaganda, and even the currency redesign saga, then expecting to unseat him in 2027 as an incumbent borders on wishful thinking.

Anything else is simply a narrative to comfort the gullible and keep so-called deluded loyalists clinging to illusions of electoral victory, same script, same predictable outcome.

The Obidients movement leans heavily on spectacle, online hype, and wishful thinking rather than any disciplined, results-driven electoral strategy. It often comes across as an echo chamber of overconfidence, weak grassroots structure, poor political coordination, and a tendency to substitute viral moments for real-world influence, more illusion than execution, more excitement than effectiveness.
