Nigerians won't commit another suicidal mistake again by voting APC and tinubu, we are with the unifier the man that will #Recovernigeria for the betterment of all citizens

Our option in 2023 is Atiku and it will only be Atiku

The only option for nigerians now is a leader that is ready to atikulate there problems and be the reason for their smiling and happiness is Atiku abubakar and okowa. This are the two candidate that have nigerians in there minds and are ready to #Recovernigeria

In everything you do you have to put nigerians first before anything and that's why atiku he is qualified as the unifier who can bring excessive unity among us all

The only candidate with the plan for nigeria's unity is Atiku, that's why he has been named by the Nigerians as the (unifier)

We can't continue suffering we didn't learn their fault in 2015 we still go on to vote them again 2019 and their problems keep metamorphosing. But now it's obvious that is only atiku that will safe us from their mess
#Recovernigeria

If you are not happy seeing dogara winning then u can go to hell. This is the mission to #Recovernigeria

Dogara sight that APC are on the loosing side so no politician that will want loosing. Atiku is now the light to nigerians

On no account should nigerians votes someone else if no be Atiku. Because atiku is the only candidate that is ready and is clearly To us that he wants to #Recovernigeria

This is how they take fool some nigerians, there true colour don dey comot now, we all know obi and lp are working for Apc and tinubu, buh it is time we know that is only atiku can bring unity in this country, and he will also #Recovernigeria

For a better life and path to #RecoverNigeria we need to rally round with PDP and vote APC out

Only APC sucks nigeria's dignity it takes away our respect from the neighboring African countries, oh my fellow country people we were spiritually sick but is now clear that as one we can #RecoverNigeria

We don't want a sick nigeria again, it's time we nigerians come together to #RecoverNigeria of our dreams not just for us but for our progenitors

I love this fact with what you stated here nobody will convince me to vote APC or LP, my vote is secured for atiku and okowa

Point cleared atiku and PDP makes absolute sense when it comes carrying all nigerians along, without any tribalism

Seeing how kwara people are swinging for atiku I continue to have a rest of mind that the Dynamics will turn to #recovernigeria

It's clear to us that not only kwara people, but Nigeria as a whole wants the recovery process of atiku and okowa

The All Progressives Congress, APC has kicked against the deployment of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS and the INEC Results Viewing Portal, IReV, saying that Nigeria is not yet ready for such technology.

Prior to this, there have been reports that the ruling party was scheming to have the INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood removed over his insistence to deploy technology to enhance and strengthen the credibility of the electoral process.


Speaking on Wednesday evening to a delegation from the Commonwealth Election Observation Mission, the National Chairman of the APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, said that the nation does not has the telecoms infrastructure needed to use the system.

He said; “First, I was privileged to serve as a senator. Our concern is how ready are we to deploy some of these technologies as regards transmission because we are taking a major step in transmitting election results in real time.”

“To transmit results, every part of the nation Nigeria I’m not sure that the network covers it, I know that even in parts of Abuja there is no network and we have from now till February when in substantial parts of the country there is no electricity.”

“INEC must assure us 100 percent that as at when due in transmitting results they are ready because they spoke about recharging batteries but we had in previous elections when it says it can’t recharge”.

National Organising Secretary of the party, Ambassador Suleiman Argungu also kicked against it saying;

“As a rider to what the national chairman just said about INEC transmitting results directly during the coming election, apart from the issue of electricity that is unstable, a lot of the villages and communities bordering other countries for instance my state Kebbi that is bordering two nations during the previous elections the network of Nigeria for all the networks, Glo, MTN, Airtel you can’t get them.”

“If you want to get them you have to use the number of the other countries to reach them. So, during election I don’t see how transmission of result will work. I see it coming.

Check out for what obi's intentions is going to be if he luckly emerge as president

madamgrace:
What lies ahead for Labour Party in 2023 and beyond. Right now, we are enjoying the buzz and the new found love for our party, due to the emergence of Peter Obi, as our candidate but is this for real or it's just a passing phase?

Ahead of the 2023 elections, the major contenders are the usual suspects of the representatives of the two major parties in the country APC and PDP. The unusual thing about this election is the entrance of new players in the game, we have the candidature of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwanso throwing their weight in the running of things.

Also quite a number of people have seemed to acknowledge one of these contenders as a thriving third force that represents the will of the people. The candidature of Peter Obi has seemed to be the prayer of most Nigerians, he seems to be very different from the regular politicians, he is younger, appears to tick the boxes and seems to enjoy the goodwill of the people. But the question is, is he really who he say he is? Is he a man that can be held accountable to his words? To have an idea of who a man is and where he is going to, it would be apt to look back at where he is coming from. What have those he has learnt from and also impacted said about him? Hence, the question, is Peter Obi a Jesus or a Judas

Peter Obi first foray into the world of politics came under the tutelage of the Ikemba, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu of APGA. Ojukwu had built and established APGA as the party of and for the Igbo interest, the party that represents the uniform interest of the Igbo man to stake their claim in the center of Nigerian Politics. This is the platform that a relatively unknown Peter Obi rode on to the seat of governance in Anambra, and despite the fact that it was not a first term that spelt success, Peter Obi still rode on the popularity of the party and Ojukwu for a second term.

In the words of Bianca Ojukwu, she said “It is simple. I maintain that Peter Obi betrayed Dim Ojukwu, and tried to destroy APGA for his own selfish interests. He has continued to undermine Ojukwu’s personality and recently, he has gone ahead to desecrate his legacy. From relative obscurity, Obi was brought into national prominence when the leader, Ojukwu, through his party APGA, offered him an opportunity and platform upon which he ran and became governor of Anambra State.

“Ojukwu sacrificed so much and labored for him to become governor. He (Ojukwu) was fiercely protective of him and helped him overcome the various challenges that confronted him. Peter Obi had a difficult first tenure and stepped on so many toes that the majority of our party faithful were adamant that he should not be nominated for a second tenure. Yet Ojukwu stood by him when it mattered most, jeopardised his health by traversing all the local governments in a rigorous campaign on his behalf and begged the people of Anambra State to grant him a last wish by returning Obi for a second term.
“This feat was achieved for the first time in Anambra State’s history on 6th February 2010. Peter Obi swore to Ojukwu, upon his honour, that he would never abandon APGA; that he would quit politics or die; rather than leave APGA, and that he would preserve this legacy as a potent voice and rallying point for Ndigbo”
She ended this with a proclamation that History would judge Obi harshly, isn't this manifested in what Mr Charles Soludo said about Peter Obi recently? Another pointer to how much his own people don't think much of his personality, is highlighted in the fact that no major or minor politician in his State has identified themselves to his cause, and over the years, not a candidate that he has endorsed or supported has ever won the Anambra elections. If your home thinks you to be not a man of your words, how do you intend on convincing others? Haven't, we all said, charity begins at home? Peter Obi, despite his promises and oath to Ojukwu, left the party that gave him the foundations, despite his oaths and promises, this is alarming because this is the same man that said “Hold me by my words”. How valuable are his words?

One would think that was the only instance and maybe he could be forgiven for being ambitious but what about his relationship with PDP and Atiku? It is well known how he said on national television that PDP as a party is the only vehicle to his ambition, he also said Atiku has been an elder brother, a boss and a leader. It’s quite ironic that he would want to leave a party that gave him national prominence and wouldn't be bothered to inform the man he calls Leader and Elder brother. The same man that fought tooth and nail, to defend his choice as the vice presidential candidate.

Not just leaving the party, he has been casting aspersions at the party, at how corrupt the leaders of the party are, a party that until May, he was an active member of. This refers to how he described APGA as a motorcycle, and PDP a vehicle to his ambition on national Tv. The same PDP and APGA he is running against, one now ask, if Peter Obi cannot stand by the words he made in public, by oaths and declarations he made.

Now, the concern is who is Peter Obi? How real are his promises? Now I am concerned, because he is the candidate of the Labour Party, let's not talk about the whole issue of how he came to the party, I am more concerned with Peter Obi and the future of Labour Party.

So far so good, there has been little to show his interest in our collective vision as a party, he hardly campaign or support, the other candidates in the party. So far, in the campaign process, he hasn't really identified with either the gubernatorial or senatorial candidates of the party. Labour Party is offering Peter Obi a platform, basically on a platter of roses, he has done little to promote the interest of the party.

Which brings the concern I have, what happens after 2023. Let assume that he wins the election, what happens? Is he going to stick with the party, despite the fact that he hasn't identified with the other candidates? Or would he decamp to a party, with a more robust representation at the legislature? What happens if he lose? Would he stick with the party and build ahead of 2027, or would he stick to being typical and leave to the next VEHICLE that will drive his ambition?

We have all seen that his words of assurance cannot count for much, so what exactly does Peter Obi want from Us, are we just a vehicle to his ambition?

Which begs the question, Is he really the Jesus, we are told he is or maybe the Judas that betrayed Jesus?

Abasifreke Odion writes from Uyo

Obi is just winding with many peoples that are supporting him, cos is very obvious that he is working behind the scene for Apc I urge every one to come along with atiku/okowa candidacy

Nigeria will never settle seeing how APC keeps bitten our country's dignity

At the return of democracy in the second republic, the National Party of Nigeria (NPN), Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN) and the Nigerian Peoples Party (NPP) were the dominant parties in the country. Of these three parties, the NPN was the first (and only) to adopt zoning of offices; the party chairmanship was ceded to the South while the presidential ticket to the north. The party equally made the green revolution (agriculture) a primary focus in their campaign.The other parties; ie UPN and NPP centered their campaign around welfarism and social justice/social change respectively.

In the third republic, the Social Democratic Party (SDP), which was the dominant party centred their messaging on welfarism and social justice. The other party, National Republican Convention (NRC) was conservatism leaning.

At the return of the fourth republic,democracy in 1999, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) - which still dominates the political space, as well as the All Nigeria Peoples Party (now defunct) pursued Social conservatism and Economic liberalism. The Alliance for Democracy (later Action Congress of Nigeria) adopted a combination of progressivism and welfarism.

While all parties between the period of 1979 and 2007 tailored their messaging in accordance with their respective agenda and Ideology, the Congress for Progrssive Change (CPC), which was formed in 2010 with the sole purpose of actualising the presidential ambition of General Muhammadu Buhari at the 2011 election, brought a new but sad dimension to the political arena. The CPC ran a vicious campaign that was never seen in the country - though their concentration was primarily in the northern part of the country. The consequence of that was a post-election violence that was never seen in Nigeria which cost the lives of members of National Youth Service Corp (NYSC) and other young Nigerians in Bauchi, Kano, Kaduna and other States - sadly no single perpetrator nor any of their soonsor was convicted.

In 2013, the ACN, CPC and ANPP entered into merger to birth the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the sole purpose of wrestling power from the then ruling PDP. During the 2015 electioneering the party deployed propaganda, hate speech, violent messaging and bigotry against then ruling PDP and her supporters. For the first time in Nigeria, the APC and her chieftains threatened to form a parallel government if the electoral outcome did not favor them - may I also add that the same chieftains of APC in 2014 charged residents in Osun State to mete jungle justice on anyone that sought to hijack their mandate in Osun gubernatorial election.

As a consequence of their vile speeches, the electoral atmosphere became extremely tensed with many fearing that a second Civil War may erupt. Though APC won the 2015 poll, the party successfully made hate speech, threat of violence, propaganda and several other vices as an electioneering norm to unseat an incumbent to attain power; only God knows what would have happen if the result was not in the APC's favor.

To make things worse, the party successfully reversed every democratic gains that Nigeria attained between 1999 and 2015 under successive PDP administrations - inflation rate is at all time high, insecurity is talk of the town, prices of commodities are skyrocketing on daily basis, pump prices of petrol and kerosene are not only exorbitant but relatively scarce, schools are shut down due to striking teaching and nonteaching staff, the polity is tensed - Nigerians are angry.

Therefore, it is incumbent on the electorates to be resolute and deliberate to #RecoverNigeria from the grip of the ruling APC in February 2023 poll: based on his manefesto and antecedents, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the PDP Presidential Candidate, is undisputably the best alternative for the to lead Nigeria from the pollution of the ruling APC.

God bless Nigeria
#RecoverNigeria

Whenever we insist APC to continue ruling this country then that's the moment all citizens future will be buried

Today, November 15, the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2023 election brilliantly exhibited his depth of knowledge about the country’s economy and socio-political environment as he fielded questions from facilitators and audience at the Lagos Business School Alumni day.We will reduce the number of regulators by consolidating their operations and streamlining
enforcement and compliance requirements. Working with the judiciary, we shall reform the
judicial processes to speed up the resolution of cases and dispensation of justice. I will create an Economic Stimulus Fund with an initial investment capacity of approximately
US$10 billion to prioritize support to MSMEs across all the economic sectors. I will
undertake far reaching fiscal restructuring to improve liquidity as well as the management
of our fiscal resources and our expenditures.
