Tareq1105:
Is Atiku a registered member of ADC?

Is Obi a registered member of ADC?

Is hell Rufai a registered member of ADC?

One leg in, one leg out when position doesn't favour them.

Ambition kills all of them.

Imagine Fmr Attorney General Malami for 8 years too talking about APC not carrying members along.

Softmirror:
David Mark has no authority to speak on ADC matters like the chairman of the party.

The Interim National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, David Mark, has expressed his commitment to upholding the party’s constitution.

Mark also assured that the party would not condone any form of anti-party activities from any member.

He said that the lack of internal democracy is responsible for bad governance in Nigeria, stressing that the ADC is seriously working towards ensuring that a level playing ground is provided for all.


Mark, represented by a chieftain of the party, Sen. Abubakar Sadiq Yar’adua, who represented Katsina Central at the National Assembly under the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, spoke during a meeting of the Coalition Partners in Kaduna at the weekend.

He applauded the leadership of the party in the state for setting a pace for other states to emulate, assuring all party members and other coalition partners of a fair playing group.

The former Senate President urged them to be coordinated, as, according to him, it is not going to be business as usual.

On the registration of members, David Mark emphasized that the process would be free, fair and credible to accommodate all, adding that mechanisms are already in place to checkmate any form of manipulation that is capable of denting the image of the party.

The Kaduna State Chairman of the party, Elder Patrick Ambut, while responding, disclosed that since the day the coalition was unveiled, the membership of the party has continued to swell.

Speaking on the state of the nation vis-a-vis the coalition, Ambut emphasized that Nigeria and Nigerians have never had it so bad as what is obtainable under the leadership of the APC, from 2015 till date.


According to him, “Nigeria is in quagmire politically, economically, socially and even psychologically”.

Ambut assured that the emergence of the coalition has provided a veritable platform to give Nigeria the needed political change.

A former chieftain of the APC who is now a member of the ADC, Salihu Lukman, also said that his former political party has failed Nigeria in providing good governance to the people.

Lukman stressed that poverty, insecurity and hunger are on the increase among Nigerians, hence the need for a genuine change that the ADC is out to provide to the people.

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has said that the recent actions of popular Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde, also known as KWAM 1, at an airport could be considered an act of terrorism in many countries.

Speaking on Arise TV on Sunday, Mike Achimugu, NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, condemned the singer’s alleged disruption of a ValueJet flight from taking off.

“Your first responsibility at airport is respect and obey instructions from the officials on ground. The passenger (KWAM 1) has not done that,” Achimugu said.

“What he did in most climes is considered terrorism. You cannot stop an aircraft from taking off. There is nothing that excuses it.”

He said the NCAA would investigate how Ayinde gained access to the point where the incident occurred, stressing that everyone found culpable would be punished.

The probe will involve the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Aviation Security Service (AVSEC), and the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA).

“Did the air traffic control clear the pilot to fly seeing that it was not safe for her to proceed? All of these questions will be answered during the course of the investigation,” he added.

On August 7, the NCAA petitioned the Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to investigate the incident, which occurred during a scheduled ValueJet flight VK201. The authority alleged that Ayinde’s actions violated the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations.

The Fuji star has since been placed on a no-fly list pending the outcome of the investigation.

yarimo:
Peter obi should please hurry up and decamp to ADC na

givedemwotowoto:
Whether Peter Obi gets the ticket or not, politics should never be a do-or-die affair. The ultimate goal in 2027 is to vote Tinubu out of office. Whoever wins the ticket, whether Peter Obi or Atiku, will be fully supprted to put Nigeria back on track, away from APC's destructive tribal politics, fast economic decline, and institutionalized tribalism and corruption.

Shawarmagirl:
This incident confirmed to me that leadership is not about sitting in an office — you must go out, see for yourself, and ensure truth and justice are upheld at every level."

Can somebody relate the bolded to Pablo.

kelechi50:
Nope, because Obi is they problem.

NIGERIA’S unstructured reward system is the current focus of a heated public debate. The issue of fair compensation for diverse and critical activities has been simmering over time. The Federal Government has unwittingly instigated another round of dissonance after the Super Falcons’ glorious triumph at the 2024 WAFCON.

Africa’s best female football squad secured their 10th WAFCON title on July 26 via a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory over hosts, Morocco.

Athletes deserve celebration, but their achievements should not be prioritised above critical national needs such as saving lives, educating the youth, or safeguarding national security.

On Monday, the Federal Government also rewarded D’Tigress, Nigeria’s national female basketball team, after Sunday’s 78-64 victory over Mali in the final of the 2025 Afrobasket to win an unprecedented fifth straight title in Abidjan.


The reward for the Falcons, calculated at N1,500/$, saw each player pocketing $100,000 (N150 million) and each technical crew member $50,000 (N75 million). Added to this is a three-bedroom apartment for each beneficiary in the FCT, national honours and a celebratory fanfare funded by the taxpayer.

The Nigeria Governors’ Forum contributed an additional N350 million, bringing the total largesse to nearly N5 billion, for winning a tournament whose prize was only $1 million. The players and crew received more rewards from corporate organisations and their state governments. More may still come.

While Nigerians take utmost pride in the Super Falcons and D’Tigress, this sentimental display of executive generosity underscores a fundamental dysfunction of the Nigerian state: a reward system devoid of structure, equity, or long-term vision.

Doctors, nurses, teachers and police officers hold Nigeria’s fragile systems together. They are not seeking luxury; they are begging for dignity.

Their skills, tenacity and resilience deserve national recognition and a measure of reward. On Wednesday, President Bola Tinubu initiated steps to enhance the paltry pension of retired police officers.

Doctors have repeatedly sounded the alarm about the brain drain devastating the healthcare system, largely due to poor pay. Nurses only just suspended their strike after days of public health paralysis.


ASUU is once again threatening industrial action as long-standing grievances remain unaddressed. Teachers were on strike in Abuja for about 100 days.

Nigeria rewards spectacle and neglects substance. National recognition is not the exclusive preserve of entertainers and sports figures, no matter how exceptional their achievements. A system where reward is arbitrary, emotionally driven, and utterly divorced from public policy is not sustainable.

There should be a structured process. The Ministry of Sports should disburse the rewards pre-agreed before a tournament, not at the whim of the executive.

Ahead of Euro 2025, the Lionesses (England) agreed with the FA to share £1.75 million out of the £4.4 million winning prize given by UEFA from the tournament’s total package of £34 million. Instructively, the English FA gave the reward, not the British government.

Out of the £1.75 million, the taxman and National Insurance will deduct £788,000, leaving the players to share less than £1 million.

The FIRS should deduct the appropriate tax from these rewards. The Federal Government and the state governments should learn from this example.

Nigeria is in one of the worst economic downturns in decades, with inflation surging, food prices unbearable, and the naira floundering, so, it is not the time to whimsically allocate billions to a football team without institutional checks.

Citizens are not asking for handouts: they desire a just reward system. The minimum wage is about $46 per month, so giving $100,000 per player is excessive.

Nigeria should extend equal honour to those who make daily, often invisible, sacrifices to keep it functioning, teachers in under-resourced classrooms, doctors working without essential tools, and lecturers moulding the next generation under crumbling roofs. Their victories may not draw stadium cheers, but they are no less heroic.

fxexperts:
As if the PDP owns wike life. So because he is in PDP he should not work with the incubent government to ensure the grwoth of the country.

Putinofrussia:
Give kudos to the first class accountant,please.

In1990, a 50k bag of rice cost N350.

In 2006, a 50kg bag of rice in Nigeria cost ₦6,000.


In 2025,a 50k bag of rice cost N70,000.
Let us do the maths.

6000 divided by 350 gives ~ 17.

70,000 divided by 6000 gives ~ 11.6= 12(approx)


Comparing the two with the space of 16 and 19 years,Tinubu has done better because price went up 17 times in 1990 (space of 16 years to 2006) even with the fraudulent Fuel Subsidy.

In 2025,with the removal of the fraudulent Fuel Subsidy,price only went up approximately,12 times (and things are still coming down exponentially, we pray)



Kudos to President Tinubu for having gotten the gut to make these hard decisions that brings prosperity to Nigerians soonest..

helinues:
This same person has been stylishly defending Peter Obi on this forum. I have engage with him severally

Why are you Obidients just intolerant? Why are you not allowing others to express themselves without shutting them down?
Is anyone questioning you people whenever you created threads about others.

Live and allow others to breathe

Eniitankorede:
Sir, stop telling lies. Economic indicators are actually improving. The world bank predicts a better growth rate in 2025 and 2025. Foreign reserves has increased from $3 billion to $40 billion. Naira is stable, fuel prices are gradually coning down, GDP improving, inflation improving. Stop telling lies like Obi.

The opposition coalition, African Democratic Congress, ADC, has called on the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, to remove what it called unlawful campaign infrastructure for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.

This was contained in a statement by the party’s Interim National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi.

Abdullahi alleged that the ruling party is neglecting Nigeria’s economic and security crises in pursuit of Tinubu’s re-election.

According to him, Nigeria’s economic indicators have deteriorated since Tinubu took office, accusing the APC of failing to address the worsening power sector crisis.

“For months now, organs of the APC have staged rallies and unveiled billboards endorsing President Tinubu for a second term — from Abuja to Port Harcourt, Minna, Kano, and Akure,” he said
