A piece of propaganda from the stables of Bayo Onanuga-owned PM News, a notórioûs propaganda outlet aimed at giving the Agbadóos a brief breather of hope, having been in a state of melancholy since the emergence of the ADC coalition.

We are brothers before we are politicians, and no politics shall divide us.


Wishing you a Happy Birthday, Gov. Soludo!

I love the comedy...at least something to comfort their fans

Especially, after a woeful season that could have seen them relegated

Putindbutt:
Maybe in your own farm, you reap your fruits the day you plant them. Arm chair critics.

Putindbutt, listen, we don’t expect to reap on the day we plant. But we also don’t expect to water the ground with suffering and be told the seeds are magic beans that take forever to grow.

Accountability isn’t armchair criticism, it’s the price of leadership. If you can’t handle the heat, maybe step away from the fire you helped start.

The words on every Nigerian's lips are: 'When are we going to reap the gains of Tinubu's economic reforms?'

We were told that the pain and anguish caused by the reforms would be temporary. But how long is 'temporary'.....two years, three years, four years, five years, a decade, fifty years, a hundred years, a generation?

Mynd44:
He is actually right. More than 70% of what is now Lagos state was in the old western region.

Lagos as FCT is a very small part of Lagos state. I don't know how people still do not know this

Mynd44, you're a moderator. I expected you to rise above board, be neutral and apolitical, which is the standard for someone in your position but your bias here calls your purpose on this platform into question.

You're confusing administrative boundaries with political narratives. The capital was Lagos not Lagos Island, not Lagos State just Lagos, as recognized both constitutionally and internationally. This revisionist spin to make Reno Omokri sound informed only shows how far some of you are willing to go to defend clear misinformation.

Yes, over 70% of what is now Lagos State was once part of the old Western Region but that doesn’t change the fact that Lagos, as the Federal Capital Territory, was carved out and administered separately from the Western Region. This was from 1963 until Abuja officially became the capital in 1991.

If we’re going to rewrite history, let’s at least not embarrass ourselves in the process.

KingOfPeaceJoy:
I truly believe God and I believe this (2027 shall surely be the end of Apc ).

Absolutely

Reno Omokri, the rábble-rousér, is now rewriting history by claiming that the former capital of Nigeria was Lagos Island and not Lagos.

Truly, Reno Omokri is now a mádmán, róaming aimléssly

Why is Tinubu begging Kwankwaso to join the APC? I thought they said he defeated everyone, including the cabal, to become president.

Bayo Onanuga is very familiar with the term "internally displaced" because his principal has succeeded in internally displacing Nigerians through the implementation of wicked and draconian policies, masquerading as economic reforms, which have inflicted untold hardship. These reforms have led to increased suffering, rising transportation costs, high inflation rates, widespread unemployment, and heightened insecurity. In fact, Nigeria is now regarded as the world’s largest IDP camp.

You claim that he is not a member of your party, yet you are now expelling him for 30 years.

How can one expel a non member

You cannot build something on nothing.

Lithiumite:
APC is growing stronger by the day except you want to keep deceiving yourself and was the only opposition when they came out against GEJ and PDP with 12 govs....but look at your rudderless ADC basking in the euphoria of enlisting expired politicians who only want their hands in the cookie jar with no clear agenda on how to do better than tinubu is doing.....they just want to be in govt only for themselves.

Funny how you people rewrite history to cope with present failures. APC wasn’t some divine movement it was a coalition of desperation riding on anti-Jonathan sentiment, backed by 12 governors and a propaganda machine. Yet Jonathan, for all your revisionism, was more popular, performed better across multiple indices, and still lost even with 22 PDP governors endorsing him. Buhari won that election with a transitional 12 million vote base built over three election cycles. Can Tinubu, stripped of INEC manipulation, server glitch and vote-buying, suppression intimidation, thuggery even boast of 500,000 organic votes?

You say APC is ‘growing stronger,’ yet Nigerians are growing poorer. If strength means choking the economy with record debt, fueling inflation, and enabling unaccountable governance, then congrats you’re cheering for collapse. Meanwhile, you're quick to mock opposition parties as 'expired,' yet forget that the APC is powered by retirees from moral relevance, D-lord's, certificate fórgér, identity thiévés, dollar stuffing babariga thiévés, lóoters on an industrial scales, Abuja land grabber and omo ni le.

Nigerians want results. And so far, Tinubu's performance is a masterclass in regression. A sign post of incompetence

Alliswell248:
I don't expect anything good thing from you regarding the government.
You are been programmed to dish out unverified information like the lying machine who you support m

Try more. Do some research on your own. Today is holiday in south east...do your own research. Don't be a headless mob.

It's always amusing how some of you Agbadoos mistake blind loyalty for patriotism. If holding leaders accountable triggers you this much, maybe it's time to ask why facts feel like personal attacks. You call me 'programmed,' yet you parrot talking points with zero data. I cited reckless borrowing verifiable from DMO reports and international financial institutions and all you offered in return was weak deflection and an irrelevant dig about Monday sit at home that is no obtainable today in the south east. If you can’t engage with substance, don’t pose as an authority on research. Criticism isn’t hate, it’s a civic duty. Try it sometime.

LegacyB:
The crux of the matter here is Lagos has the right to name streets and Busstops just as it was done in Anambra . Simple, everything is not this versus that.

I am not disputing Lagos' right to name streets. The issue is the unnecessary noise over it especially from people like Reno Omokri who pretend to be patriots but spend more time throwing tantrums about Peter Obi than focusing on governance. If it’s ‘simple,’ why not keep the energy on actual performance instead of weaponizing street name signs for political distraction?

LegacyB:
Don’t throw away the baby with the birth water. He has his claims, what’s necessary is the check if he’s right or wrong . Why dodge his entire statement cos there’s no opposite fact?

The issue isn't about dodging Reno's so called 'claims'. it's about recognizing a pattern of obsession masked as commentary. When someone constantly drags Peter Obi into every unrelated topic, including things as trivial as street names, it's not analysis, it's fixation. If Reno had any real facts, he wouldn't need to hide behind daily provocations. Let’s not confuse noise with substance

The so-called influential APC leader isn't interested in his party presenting a credible and popular candidate loved by the people and voted for by the people, thereby respecting the sanctity of the vote. Rather, he is seeking assurances from, and working hard to connive with the security agencies, INEC, and, lastly, the judiciary to subvert the will of the people.

These three institutions, along with Tinubu's APC, have become a threat to democracy.

seunowa:
Why is adamawa state governor not identifying with Atiku political party? What about borno, yobe and zamfara? Are there allocations also withheld? Why is kwankwaso not teaming with his brother, Atiku?What are these internally displaced politicians bringing to Adc? Well, I can only see failure all around Adc....

Seer

Can you tell what you see around APC?

Tinubu’s “fiscal vandalism” mortgaging Nigeria’s future with reckless borrowings: ADC


According to Mr Abdullahi, the African Democratic Congress demands a full disclosure of all loan agreements signed over the past ten years by the APC.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition has raised the alarm over what it calls President Bola Tinubu’s government’s reckless borrowing, describing it as “fiscal vandalism” that could push the country’s debt beyond N200 trillion, thereby mortgaging the nation’s future.

In a statement on Sunday, Bola Abdullahi, spokesperson for the ADC, said, “The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has expressed outrage over what it describes as ‘fiscal vandalism’ by the Tinubu administration following the approval of yet another $21 billion in foreign loans by the National Assembly.”

He added, “this new wave of borrowing will drive Nigeria’s public debt beyond ₦200 trillion before the end of the year, with no corresponding development or economic revival to justify it.”

Condemning Mr Tinubu’s “dangerous obsession with borrowing,” the ADC spokesperson said, “What Nigerians are witnessing, following the approval of a fresh $21 billion in foreign loans, is nothing short of a calculated decision to mortgage the country’s future just to cover up the failures of today.”

Mr Abdullahi added, “We are speeding toward a financial cliff, and those in charge seem to have no brakes, thinking they can borrow their way out of economic problems that require more thoughtful actions and greater fiscal discipline.”

The ADC spokesperson lamented that “debts have continued to mount, but infrastructures have remained poor, universities are still grossly underfunded, hospitals are still ill-equipped and electricity supply are as poor as ever.

“So, what exactly are these loans used for? This is the question that Nigerians expect the National Assembly to ask. Instead, it has continued to approve these loans without asking the hard questions, without demanding a plan, and without standing up for the Nigerian people.”

According to Mr Abdullahi, the African Democratic Congress demands a full disclosure of all loan agreements signed over the past ten years by the APC and the Tinubu government. Nigerians, he said, have a right to know the terms, interest rates, payment timelines, and final recipients of the loans.

“We also call on President Tinubu to put an end to this fiscal recklessness, and focus instead on meaningful reform, by investing wisely, and spending responsibly. The era of borrowing to cover policy failures must come to an end,” Mr Abdullahi said.

The bullion vans D-lord is now engaging in fiscal vandalism, borrowing recklessly and plunging our country into more debt.

yarimo:
Mr spoke man shay peter OBI must participate in ADC presidential primary election with ATIKU and others 😆😆😆

Dissipate this energy towards telling us what Tinubu have done to warrant him seeking reelection come 2027

Holdup247:
hahahaha, because of likes you type rubbish knowing that the GBAJUEs will concur to the baldadash, I love PBAT, I love WIKE my brother and Iove Nigeria... Woe to the DOTIANS...

Your life is on Holdup247

I sincerely feel your pain

seunmsg:
All the names mentioned in the report can’t win a single ward for the party. They are simply positioning themselves for Atiku’s dollars and any possible future benefits.

Cry me a river.

If they had decamped to the APC, you would’ve celebrated it and created a whole thread about it and are not positioning themselves for Tinubu’s bullion vans.

But because they moved to the ADC, now they’re “politically irrelevant” and “can’t even win their wards”?

You gonna learnnnnnn.

jmoore:
I have fact checked you. Lagos deported Osun indigenes.

This is immaterial to Reno Omokri, the rábble-rousér.

It's Peter Obi 'threatening to deport' that should be blown out of proportion even though he didn't deport anyone.

adamusuleiman1:
Gaslighter. Lol.

Fuellighter Lol.

Peter Obi hasn't made a single statement regarding the street name change because these are not germane issues affecting Nigerians. But, as usual, Reno Omokri a rábble-rousér always finds a way to drag Peter Obi into it.

Reno Omokri is just a mádmán roaming aimlessly

stanluiz:
Wike should take the Pdp presidential ticket test his popularity.

In 2023. He cried bitterly that Atiku and Tambuwal betrayed and stop him from getting Pdp ticket. Now that Atiku and Tambuwal are no more. The Pdp ticket now belongs to him.

If he fails to take it this time, he might blame makinde and Bala Mohammed

Bolaji Abdullahi, the spokesperson for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, says the party has no favourite or preferred candidate and it is not built to further the ambition of any politician, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and former Anambra governor, Peter Obi.



“The ADC is not built for anybody’s ambition. The ADC is a party determined to give a different trajectory to Nigerian politics,” Mr Abubakar told journalists on Saturday.

The ADC spokesperson said, “We don’t have any predetermined agenda, we don’t have any favourites or candidates. Nobody has had a discussion about who will be the party’s flagbearer.”

This comes about a month after opposition politicians adopted the ADC as their official party to contest the 2027 election against President Bola Tinubu.

Popular political figures, Messrs Abubakar and Obi, have indicated interest in the coalition to defeat Mr Tinubu in 2027.

The duo came second and third, respectively, in the last election won by Mr Tinubu, according to official results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Mr Abubakar has contested the presidency six times: in 1993, he contested on the Social Democratic Party (SDP) platform; and in 2007, he contested on the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) platform, losing to Umar Ya’adua of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He challenged former President Goodluck Jonathan in the PDP’s primaries in 2011 and lost. After joining the APC in 2014 ahead of the 2015 election, Mr Abubakar lost the presidential primaries to Muhammadu Buhari.

The politician returned to the PDP in 2017 and lost the presidential election to Mr Buhari of the APC in 2019. He contested alongside Mr Tinubu in 2023 and also lost.

Validated:
Even the receiver of the letter will soon port to ADC. The new APC chairman will be sacked by Tinubu for poorly leading the party to defeat.

And he will appoint yet another APC chairman who will oversee their exit from Aso Rock in 2027.

This is, after all, the fourth APC chairman in just two years and like those before him, he is likely to leave as well.

helinues:
Election is less than 2 years and the opposition are yet to have a presidential candidate not to talk of who will be the vice. When would they start building structures across the country when they are not yet settled on who to lead.

Who is more confused between Apc and ADC?

How many months before the 2015 election did Buhari emerge as the APC presidential candidate to contest against and defeat Goodluck Jonathan, who was the incumbent president and the PDP candidate?

Bentacur007:
I have been saying this
APC is still confuse they want to know the presidential candidate of ADC.
Nigeria will be great

The presidential candidate is already known

Atiku Abubakar
