Stop,the lies and propaganda. We all saw policemem on routine security patrol. I can equally go and snap policemen near an Atiku billboard and start using it for propaganda. Nigerians are more sensible than a lot of you guys. Na January una go know where una belong. Lying will not win Atiku and Obi the presidency.

seunmsg:
Another propaganda video. How can people go to a rally without knowing it is Tinubu rally? If you give me money for a rally and I get there and realized it's a Peter Obi rally, won't I just turn back?

Of course, the mods will rush to push this fake video to the front page as usual. The Atiku campaign is behind all these videos while the Obi supporters are latching on them like their lives depend on it.

Kaduna is currently on lockdown for Tinubu. The rally has not started and everywhere is already filled up. No amount of propaganda video can give Atiku victory.

The same Obi that defended the fake drugs manufacturer when NAFDAC closed their market in Onitcha.

I have been waiting for a thread like this.

Second thread will be the people APC hired for their campaign are fighting because they didn't get their pay.

French President Emmanuel Macron has postponed his planned state visit to Nigeria until early 2027.Nigeria news updates

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that the development follows an agreement between Macron and Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The trip was initially scheduled for October 29 to November 6, 2026.

The specific reasons for the postponement have not been disclosed, while a new date for the visit has yet to be announced.

Macron’s planned visit had earlier been announced by French diplomatic officials as part of efforts to deepen bilateral relations between both countries.

The visit was also expected to build on agreements and discussions from Tinubu’s three-day state visit to France in November 2024, during which both leaders explored opportunities for cooperation in finance, energy transition, solid minerals, trade, investment and communications.

Presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga had previously explained that Tinubu’s visit to France was intended to strengthen political, economic and cultural relations between the two countries while creating additional opportunities for cooperation.

Macron’s proposed trip would have been his first visit to Nigeria since July 2018, when he visited the country during the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari.

The postponement also comes days after former South-East presidential spokesman Denge Josef Onoh urged the French president to suspend his planned visit and focus on domestic challenges before undertaking diplomatic engagements abroad.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Onoh argued that Macron should reconsider the timing of the visit, citing reported unrest in France and the need for the French government to address pressing domestic concerns.

“True statesmanship requires prioritising the home front when the foundations are shaking,” Onoh said.

He questioned the appropriateness of Macron travelling to Nigeria for diplomatic engagements while France was reportedly experiencing unrest, arguing that the president should prioritise addressing the concerns of French citizens.

“President Macron cannot be seen playing global politics and chasing bilateral photo-ops in Abuja while the streets of Paris and other French cities are burning. You do not go structural shopping in Africa when your own house is on fire,” he said.

Onoh also urged the French government to prioritise the country’s long-standing national values over immediate political considerations, expressing concern that domestic instability could threaten the social fabric supporting France’s cultural heritage.

“It is time for the French government to focus on enduring French values over temporary political values,” he added.

The former presidential spokesman also argued that Nigeria should carefully consider the timing of the proposed engagement as the country prepares for the 2027 general elections.

According to him, Nigeria must concentrate on addressing its domestic challenges, rebuilding its economy and restoring public confidence in its institutions.

“Nigeria has its problems, and it is the sole responsibility of Nigerians to focus on and solve their own problems,” Onoh said.Buy Maps

He maintained that although Nigeria remained open to international partnerships, diplomatic engagements should involve partners capable of managing their domestic affairs while pursuing cooperation abroad.

“We love diplomacy, and Nigeria remains a premier destination for global partnerships. However, we need a French President who is stable at home to partner with us effectively abroad,” he said.

“For the sake of the French people and the integrity of international diplomacy, President Macron should stay in Paris, face the protesters, address their grievances, and reschedule his Nigerian visit for a time when France is not burning.”

Onoh cited the postponement of a planned state visit by Britain’s King Charles III to France in March 2023 amid widespread protests against pension reforms. He also referred to the May 1968 unrest under former French President Charles de Gaulle and the suburban riots of 2005 under former President Jacques Chirac as examples of periods when domestic instability placed pressure on French administrations.

Macron, who began his second and final presidential term in 2022, is expected to leave office in May 2027, when his current constitutional term ends.

He has maintained diplomatic relations with Tinubu since the Nigerian leader assumed office in May 2023.

Reno Omokri said he recruited this dude and was paying him N750k monthly. Till date, he has not debunked it

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, AAC, Omoyele Sowore, has blasted the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Ajibola Basiru.

He claimed he helped Basiru gain admission into the University of Lagos, UNILAG, after he was expelled from the University of Ilorin, UNILORIN.

Sowore disclosed this in a reply on X on Thursday after Basiru called him a skit maker and comedian during an interview on Channels Television's Politics Today on Wednesday.

Sowore presented a photograph he took with Basiru in 1998 when he led the Congress of Progressive Youths, COPY, during the fight against military dictatorship.

He said Basiru came to the University of Lagos after he was expelled from the University of Ilorin in 1992 for student activism.

"I received him alongside Kunle Adegoke, popularly known as K-Rad, who is now a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. We provided them with an enabling environment to apply to re-enter the university, gain admission, and study Law at the University of Lagos," Sowore said.

He said both eventually graduated with flying colours.

Sowore faulted Basiru's claim that because Bola Tinubu was declared winner by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in the 2023 presidential election, those who contested against him should be ashamed of losing.

According to him, the struggle for justice, democracy and freedom is not comedy.

"The struggle for justice, democracy, freedom and the preservation of human dignity is neither skit-making nor comedy. Ajibola knows this because he was once part of that struggle and benefited from the solidarity of those who refused to surrender to military tyranny," he said.

The human rights activist said political appointments are temporary and that Tinubu's regime will come and go like the military regimes they confronted in their youth.

"What is truly comical is watching yesterday's beneficiaries of resistance become today's defenders of the very oppression they once fought against," he added.
