It is easier for the dead Queen Elizabeth to turn to trans and father children who will be Sultan of Sokoto

Than for an ibo man to smell the 🚻 of Aso Rock

The fake Ohanaeze led by a faceless individual called Okechukwu Isiguzoro nobody knows

Iphupa:
You meant fiction

Ohanaeze Ndigbo, apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, has said that without comprehensive electoral reforms, the much-expected Igbo presidency would be impossible.

Ohanaeze said it is compelled by its unwavering commitment to the well-being and future of Ndigbo to address the prevailing political landscape and its potential ramifications for the people, particularly in the context of the forthcoming 2027 polls.

This is contained in a statement issued on Sunday by Ohanaeze’s factional Deputy President-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, and made available to DAILY POST in Abakaliki.

According to the statement, “The prevailing realities, unfortunately, necessitate an honest and unflinching assessment.

“Our considered observation reveals that the current vulnerabilities within the electoral system, coupled with the existing political dynamics, present a significant impediment to any opposition candidate challenging the incumbent President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 elections, unless comprehensive electoral reforms are implemented.”

Part of the statement read: “It is with deep regret that we must acknowledge the uncomfortable truth: the integrity of the electoral process is demonstrably weakened. The systemic loopholes and potential for manipulation within the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) cannot be ignored.

“These weaknesses, if left unaddressed, create an environment ripe for exploitation by those seeking to maintain power, thereby jeopardizing the prospects of a fair and credible election.

“The implications of INEC’s proposed reliance on manual processing and the potential abandonment of the electronically transmitted results, as a substitute for electronic transmission of votes to the INEC portal, further amplify these concerns.

“Such a shift would disproportionately favour those with the means and motive to manipulate the process, ultimately disenfranchising a significant portion of the electorate and discouraging meaningful participation.

“Against this backdrop, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, acting in the best interests of Ndigbo, feels obliged to issue this poignant advisory: any Igbo individual considering a presidential bid in 2027 must, therefore, recognize the inherent limitations of the current environment.

“Engaging in a contest under these conditions, without significant electoral reforms, may prove a costly and ultimately futile endeavor.

“Such an undertaking could not only squander valuable resources but also risk undermining the political fortunes of the entire Southeast geopolitical zone.

“Consequently, Ohanaeze implores prospective Igbo presidential candidates to re-evaluate their aspirations, prioritising the urgent needs of our region, including the pressing challenges of insecurity and economic revitalization.”

Ohanaeze noted that while it acknowledged the constitutional rights of all citizens to pursue their political ambitions, it is equally committed to delivering the unvarnished truth, no matter the personal cost.

“The stark reality is this: WITHOUT MEANINGFUL ELECTORAL REFORMS, VICTORY IN THE 2027 ELECTIONS IS EXTREMELY UNLIKELY.

“The potential consequences of supporting an Igbo candidate who cannot defeat the incumbent president are significant. The economic well-being of our people is intimately tied to political stability and fair play.

“The failed presidential bid could expose innocent Igbo traders and businesses to potential vulnerabilities, particularly within significant economic hubs across Nigeria, most notably in Lagos.”

Rebelutionary:
You ended up saying nothing to counter @Timemanager! What has grandstanding in politics got to do with obvious confusion that is plaguing ADC at the moment!

So if like you said " APC was plagued with issues at it's formation, so we should expect same from ADC? Then what's the difference between the ADC and the APC then? You see your life!

Every person that was touted to be a part of the APC formation came out with their "full chest" declaring where they belong not this one that;

Elrufai is SDP/ADC
Atiku isn't sure if he goofed by joining the ADC
Obi is LP/ADC
Amaechi is a parrot!

Your co-travellers would make us believe that all this is a ploy to "confuse" APC, whatever that means.

Then there's the other set that want to force it down our throats that that same "APC confusion talk" from the earlier mentioned camp of the ADC is actually caused by the APC to weaken the coalition!

Hmmm...

Atiku is waiting for governors that want to decamp... I hope you read that line and see how confused the ADC is! Did APC wait for anybody at it's formation, Mr. Student of political history?

You all will be alright last last when all this dust settles!

Putindbutt:
I don't think anyone has said the contestants had to step down for another person, however, APC was never messy where supporters of each candidate are throwing dirts and bricks at each other, bullying and intimidating one candidate to step down for another or threatening it is either a particular candidate or nothing. APC never had a situation where the key players where delaying their membership of the party or having one leg in APC and another leg in their old party weeks after the merger. So, forget story, you can't even compare. How Sunday go be na from Saturday we go see am. This coalition is a joke, no head or tail, the supporters are even confused as to what's going on.
300years from now, Atiku will still never smell Aso rock, he is not destined to be President, he may keep wasting his dollars, the hawks are preparing their pockets once again to collect as much as they can from him.

BlakKluKluxKlan:
But going by his track record as governor of Anambra State for two terms, I don't even agree that he is qualified not does he possess what it takes to rule equitably.
He has so far not been able to prove any significant record of good performance.
In addition, Obi is autocratic, despotic and undemocratic.
He will set Nigeria ablaze.
Plus his avid supporters will turn Nigeria upside down in no time.

TimeManager:
It's quite pathetic that a veteran like Atiku could find himself in this kind of a mess despite years of wealth of experience. He was an active participant during the inception of APC, he saw how everything went smoothly, neither did party was divided among any of the contestants or their supporters leading to the primaries. Buhari, Kwankwaso, Atiku, Okorocha kept one house going into the primaries. No one deployed media tactics to sway sympathy or attention to himself as we're witnessing in this coalition of confusion.
When Tinubu was doing it, they thought it was easy, now e reach their turn to do it, dey no fit. If it's not Panadol, e no fit be like Panadol.




I listened to ADC Chairman in Adamawa, he was saying " mark your calendar, August 6", Lol.



Then he will wait till he is 200years old. Oh poor Atiku!



What a shame, Jonathan being thrown into the picture yet again. So, these political IDPs do not even have a clear cut plan before announcing the coalition, they did out of emotion and unnecessary excitement of having a platform to challenge the President but leaving lots of leakages in their behind. We will be watching where this comedy film ends up.




For more jokes and daily comedy skits, send ATIKU to 121.


-Kiss the truth!

givedemwotowoto:
The Governor conducted LG elections after court delays. EOD. Meanwhile like I said, nothing works without FG. If a governor from the SE can be dethroned and someone else who came last was enthroned, and another governor almost got rigged out if not for the personal intervention of an official, if the Edo governor was believed to be elected without the popular votes, if Rivers state is being remote controlled from Abuja and even the police and courts are being used to interfer in state activities, then the country is in a mess. Things cannot work from the bottom, it has to be cleaned up from the top.

givedemwotowoto:
Nothing will work in Nigeria except the Federal Government works. INEC has to work, the judicial system has to work, the police and security agencies have to work, and these are all institutions of the FG. Nothing works except these systems work.

givedemwotowoto:
Peter Obi is the only Presidential candidate that is ready to take quick decisive action on major issues in Nigeria. He doesn't hide from the press, which is a quality any President should have to constantly reassure the citizens that he understands the reality on ground and has a plan.

Any President who avoids the press creates uncertainty especially with investors who don't want to be guessing what the plan is and how they're being tackled. Without investor confidence, investments and economic growth will slow down and jobs will suffer.

Peter Obi is the President Nigeria needs now.

ceejay10:
Shey K1 dey aspire to be president? Why the comparison with Obi?

zero8zero:
Point of correction, Obi was never nor is a banker, having shares in bank doesn't make one a banker.

ceejay10:
Has Remi Tinubu apologized for her anti igbo remarks? Since you want to be daft and allude everything to politics. Has Reno himself apologized for his anti Tinubu tweets?

ceejay10:
Reno Is officially mad😂😂

bluebay:
Still wondering how daft this writer is to compare K1 to Peter obi. Are they of any level at all ?

Charly68:
I don't think Obi is as smart as we think he is . .He is just like Baba Atiku...chasing presidential nomination under different platforms does not show smartness ..He has no political plan and anybody without a political plan can not win presidential election in a country like Nigeria. The complexity of the political terrain is not an easy matter

AFONJAPIG:
hehehehe ADC should test Atiku popularity in Nigeria without obi let's see . You are lying to your self because you know the obvious truth 🤣

AK481:
This is what obidients are against .

We cannot be fighting for a better nigeria from tinubu and hand over to another dollar sharing animal

Globad:
He betrayed his bias when he said Atiku is the way for the presidency for Obi and that Tinubu's government is making everybody to suffer

His prophecy is in the full interest of only one candidate whom has further betrayed his bias by saying that the prophecy has been coming for a while

Meanwhile, saying that Jonathan, Buhari and Trump would win were mere predictions

yorosstores:
Its just a matter of time, Aregbe will regret biting the hand that fed him

Okoroawusa:
I am an Igbo man born in the South West, and I grew up in the South West. In my life, I have interacted and am still interacting with the Yorubas and will probably do so till I leave this earth.

So I can boast to say that I know what the average Yoruba on the streets and villages who are politically savvy think of Aregbesola...A TRAITOR AND AN INGRATE.

joceey:
Weytin this one dey talk self for mouth?Which one be betray must he be in a party forever?

smartemperor042:
Show me where he replied Soludo!
He was only clarifying his stands and not replying to anyone!

Always looking for where Obi fall hand

chiiraq802:
The most annoying part is that most of these politicians attacking APC and Tinubu today just left power 2-3 years ago without nothing to show for.

Just because Tinubu govt didn't favour them, they're bitter and 'lambaring' anyhow not because they hv Nigerian masses at heart.

Nigerian politicians are greedy n self centered. All of them. know this n hv peace. ✌️

Chegesnd:
Wike is on Obi
Soludo is on Obi
Ononogo is on Obi
Bwala is on Obi
Keyamo is on Obi
Umahi is on Obi

histemple:
He is very correct. I am extremely optimistic that Peter Obi has the required competence and integrity to reposition Nigeria on the right track. And that is the only reason he enjoys so much support.

Going by our constitution, the office of the vice president is just like that of a house boy.

Atiku will make a terrible president. It is an error Nigeria must avoid making.
