Ofunaofu:
That Tinubu/APC data boy you are responding to will return to tell you that those who took over the ADC were hijackers.

You know them.

But most time I reply to them not because it’s going to change their minds but for the unsuspecting public.

I know they are a lost cause.

fergie001:
Nit that.
He has made a fool of himself as usual.
He is the one handling Bala Gombe vs Mark... ADC has said they don't want him, yet he fixed judgement tomorrow.

Again, to show he is fooling himself, ZLP won 15 Chairmanship seats in Abia
ADC won two Reps seats in 2023, APP won seats in Rivers before the SC judgement. Accord has reps....

Not just that, Adeleke wanted to join the suit, he declined that since his party is already a defendant, no need. This is contrary to the judgement of the Supreme Court in Eyitayo Jegede Vs Akeredolu, APC & Ors. Adeleke is an interested Party yet Lifu rejected it, he is now a political and IDP Judge.

Adeleke now appealed, the Appeal Court now said Lifu should not give any judgement until the matter is settled at the Appeal Court and thereafter adjourned till 17th Oct, yet when raised in Court today, Justice Peter said NO.
Imagine saying No to a higher Court, these people will destroy what is left of democracy. Tomorrow, he will likely rule Bala is Chairman of NDC, just watch and see 😂

All parties will approach the Appeal Court and get a stay of execution, the matter will be thrown out eventually. For Peter Obi, you think he is safe 😂😂😂
They are coming, just relax/.

It’s just so disheartening because judges used to pretend about these things. But now they’re so brazenly emboldened that the crooks among them no longer give qualms.

Like you said, imagine ignoring a higher court. Not even James Omotosho moves like that.

yarimo:
Is it now you know leke is a member of ADC? When hijackers claim ownership of ADC where were you?

I’ve never denied Leke’s membership of ADC.

Our contention has been that in the spirit of party supremacy, he was supposed to simply abide by the new leadership of his party after new leaders were appointed by virtue of the coalition.

Did APC not change from Ganduje to Nentawe? How many APC members called Nentawe a usurper?

Why should ADC change of leadership be different?

My happiness is that they know they are wasting their time.

We know they are wasting their time.

And even Tinubu knows they are wasting their time.

So, while they enjoy their foolery, we will go about our business.

On Election Day we go meet for polling unit.

Amovingman:
Make they kinda news reach frontpage first na today I go call out nairaland teams on x

Lol!

Don’t bother yourself. They won’t move it to front page.

AMINDA:
They have engaged the services of multiple polling firms and analysts that keep telling them that Tinubu has no pathway to re-election. Hence, the desperation you see. In law, this is called fait accompli.

Not only does the ADC have elective positions, the ruling was given in defiance of a court of appeal judgement that had ordered the matter to not be heard until November. Tinubu and Wike are in panic mode and this judgement was meant to erase news of Amaechi's selection as Atiku’s Vice. Just as the Nafiu Bala fiasco by INEC was done on the day Kwankwaso joined the ADC. The incoming government will have a lot of sanitation to do beginning from the judiciary.

This is a very straightforward case. It won’t survive at Appeal.

What I find confounding is that Justice Lifu is no longer pretending about how sold out he is to injustice and in doing the bidding of Wike and APC.

It’s so so annoying and embarrassing

Ordinarily I would have been happy with the deregistration of ADC because it would clear the pathway for the north to vote for Peter Obi in greater majority, but I can’t support injustice just because it favours me or my interests.

The High Court based its ruling on the constitutional provision that INEC has the power to deregister any political party that fails to either score 25% of votes cast in any state in a presidential election or fails to win the governorship, senate, HOR, House of Assembly or LG chairmanship.

However, records show that ADC won 2 House of Representatives seats in the last general election.

The ADC won two House of Representatives seats in the 2023 National Assembly elections. Those seats were:

1. Leke Abejide — representing Yagba Federal Constituency (Mopamuro, Yagba East, and Yagba West LGAs) in Kogi State. He was re-elected on the ADC platform.
2. Ahmed Jaha — representing Damboa/Gwoza/Chibok Federal Constituency in Borno State. He was listed among the two ADC members elected into the 10th House of Representatives.

Further breakdown of parties and the number of seats won is as follows:

In the 2023 Nigerian House of Representatives elections, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) won 2 seats in the House of Representatives.

The distribution of seats after the election included:

* APC – 162 seats
* PDP – 102 seats
* Labour Party – 34 seats
* NNPP – 18 seats
* APGA – 4 seats
* ADC – 2 seats
* SDP – 2 seats
* YPP – 1 seat

These figures are for the 10th House of Representatives inaugurated in June 2023.

So, on what basis was the party deregistered despite this obvious record of electoral success in the last election?

I know APC supporters are cheering the news but you should be careful what you support. These things are setting precedents and the people you support will not always be in power. I hope you would be okay when another side gets into power and starts to follow in same footsteps.

This is an aberration that should be reversed.

This joker!

He could have easily joined Peter Obi in NDC and picked up the senatorial ticket for Enugu North which would have given him one leg to the senate but chose stoopidity.

So, it’s today he realized he needs to fight for welfare of Southeast?

Onye apari!

fergie001:
For two or three of them, it will be overthrown on Appeal

Exactly! The case will not survive Appeal. But what he has succeeded in doing is giving ADC some momentary disorientation.

Obi is a wise man.

naptu2:
What is the name of that marketplace gossip person?

Aha!

Me, Marketplace gossip person?

To think I used to rate you.

Meanwhile, tell me how anything Kenneth Okonkwo released here implicated Obi.

It’s no news that Zadok Yohanna who was playing in Nigeria as of last year has signed for Brighton and Hoves Albion, a Premier League Club. It’s the dream of every player and it was an emotional moment for Zadok when he first informed his father over the phone that he had signed for the Premier League side.

DomPerignon:
This is how you guys started a Free Evans hashtag on twitter when he was arrested claiming he was innocent and being framed by the police.

Note that your misleading thread is interfering with an ongoing police investigation.

If you think he is innocent , why not go to DSS office where he is being held and protest for his release.

But you accept the guy originated the investigation?

They care zilch about governance or betterment of the people.

All they care about is what they can steal.

And the things they are stealing, I keep wondering what they want to use it for.

They have stolen enough to last their lineage up till the fifth generation but still they can’t stop stealing.

It’s a sickness at this point.

duro4chang:
Let him defend himself. You are not his attorney. Stop disturbing us here

So, it bothers you not that he is wrongly accused of what he didn’t do?

You remember Ifechukwu Daniel? Yes, the man that was arrested yesterday for allegedly doctoring VDM’s video with Ai? Well, it would interest you to note that the DSS acted based off the investigation of a private individual who posted a video online and said he ran a check traced down the origin of the video to 2 persons - one Taiwo as the first suspect and Ifechukwu Daniel as the second suspect.

Surprisingly, however, the DSS left the person that was named as the first suspect and arrested only the person named as second. And the question is why?

Now, the guy who conducted the private investigation, Femi Unfiltered, has now made a rejoinder video stating that Ifechukwu Daniel is innocent and blamed the DSS for not reaching out to him after they saw his video before proceeding to arrest anybody based on what he said.

The question now is, why did DSS act so swiftly to arrest the person named as the second suspect and put his face everywhere as against the recent ban of public parading of suspects? Why? And why was the first suspect, Taiwo, not arrested?

Akpakomiza2:
An unknown quantity sent to bury NDC

Na so!

Lie to yourself if it makes you feel better.

Akpakomiza2:
Tinubu victory is assured
This guy left APC because he lost primaries and you are here yapping childishly

And as usual, you do not think a serving Rep Member matters abi?

Remember that Obi won Nasarawa in 2023.

Structure go too choke for 2027.

Every polling unit in Nigeria will have an agent. No longer what happened in 2023 where Peter Obi’s votes was changed because there were nobody to protect them.

Game on

runningriot:
Even though I am a fan of JJ Umoru owing to his grass root politics and his transformational people oriented politics in times of being workaholic to me he didn't win that primary even though the whole APC primary was shambolic and mered with electoral fraud he didn't win the primary! Tony Bala won that election! In respective of the outcome I am still his fan.

He is this good, why did he now lose?

SadiqBabaSani:
Tinubu' will be betrayed heavily in 2027

Unfortunately, his supporters are yet to smell the rat.

The people that keep accusing Obi of creating ID cards for northerners are now arresting Northern beggars.

Northerners now know who hate them.

Isn’t it funny how Atiku supporters are spending more time attacking Peter Obi than in marketing Atiku.

But news flash: Obi traducers did more than this in 2023; calling him IPOB and all, and he still won.

So, you all are jesters!

And the APC implosion continues

2027: Rep. Umaru Resigns From APC Over Fraudulent Primaries

A member of the House of Representatives, Rep. Jeremiah Umaru (Jakadan Wamba), has resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, with immediate effect.

Rep. Umaru, who represents Akwanga/Nassarawa Eggon/Wamba Federal Constituency, made this known in a letter addressed to the chairman of the party in his Gitta ward of Wamba Local Government Area in Nasarawa State.

According to the letter, dated May 28, the decision was due to the events and activities surrounding the just-concluded primaries, particularly the disturbing developments witnessed in the state, which has deeply shaken his confidence in the principles of justice, fairness, internal democracy, and transparency, which the ruling party once claimed to uphold.

He lamented that, as a loyal and committed member who devoted his time, energy, and resources towards the growth and success of the party, it is painful and disappointing to witness the increasing erosion of democratic values, imposition, manipulation, and disregard for the genuine will of members during the primary process.

The lawmaker explained that he can no longer, in good conscience, continue to associate with a system that undermines credibility, suppresses fairness, and disregards the sacrifices and aspirations of dedicated party faithful.

He expressed appreciation for the relationships and experience built during his time in the party and wished well to all individuals of good conscience within its fold.

Seun has always been considered neutral and to always play politically correct. For him to speak up, you just know things have become too bad.

Enough is enough. The killings, abductions of innocent Nigerians, and the unleashing of terror on our people cannot continue. These senseless killings and heinous crimes must stop.

Terror does not ask for your tribe, faith, region, or political affiliation before it strikes. Our response must be stronger than our divisions.

Today on Politics Today, I called on all Nigerians to put aside political, ethnic, and religious differences and stand united against the common enemy threatening our collective future.

Criticise what must be criticised. Demand accountability where it is due. But above all, let us stand together.

#UniteAgainstTerror 🇳🇬

Seun Okinbaloye

I would have loved for Wike to lose out but the APC primaries remain valid because it was the National body of the party that organized the primary.

But Wike’s lackeys will still lose.

Some people had sworn that the whole of South South is in the bag already for Tinubu. Massive shock awaits all of you.

A media aide to Bayelsa State Governor Douye Diri has resigned his appointment as special assistant on new media, amid indications that he may be aligning with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).

The aide, Patrick Spiff, announced his resignation in a letter dated 29 May and addressed to the governor. The Office of the Secretary received the letter from the State Government on 1 June.

“I am writing to formally resign my position as special assistant to the Governor of Bayelsa State on New Media.

“I appreciate the opportunities, experience and support I have received during my time with the (state) government. It has contributed greatly to my professional growth, and I am grateful for the knowledge and skills I have gained,” he wrote.

Although Mr Spiff offered no explanation for his departure, his recent social media activities suggest he may have resigned to focus on the NDC.

A review of his Facebook page shows that he openly promoted the NDC while still serving in Mr Diri’s administration.

His profile picture shows him wearing an NDC-branded T-shirt, while several posts predicted the party’s electoral victories in Bayelsa.

On 26 May, he wrote: “There is nothing those in Creek Haven can do. NDC will produce the next governor of Bayelsa State.

The reference to “Creek Haven” is widely understood to be the Bayelsa governor’s official residence.

In another post, he declared: “There are no two ways about it. NDC will win the Senate and the Reps in the West. NDC will win the Senate and the Reps in Central.

NDC will win the Senate in the East. It will be a walkover in favour of NDC.”

Earlier, on 14 May, he wrote: “To play opposition politics is too sweet. Everything is flowing well.

“Nobody can cage you. If you feel like I’m lying, just join NDC and confirm it.

The posts have fuelled speculation that Mr Spiff had distanced himself politically from the governor’s camp long before formally resigning.

Political realignment

Mr Spiff’s resignation comes amid shifting political loyalties in Bayelsa. The state, long regarded as a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stronghold, witnessed a major political shake-up after Governor Diri defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC) last year.

His predecessor and long-time ally, and Bayelsa West Senator Seriake Dickson, declined to join the APC. Instead, he founded the NDC, positioning it as an alternative political platform.

The party has gained increased attention following the decision of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to join its ranks and secure the presidential ticket of the party ahead of the 2027 election.

Although Mr Spiff has not linked his resignation to partisan politics, but his public endorsement of the NDC while serving in government has intensified speculation about his future political plans.

I said it that that Delta governor’s interview was a betrayal of the fear in him.

Former Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, on Wednesday, revealed the presidential candidate he will support in 2027.

Omo-Agege disclosed that he would support the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

Featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show, he said Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s followers are afraid of him, hence spreading false rumour about him.

Stressing that he is a loyal party man, Omo-Agege said the governor’s supporters are afraid of what he would do during the 2027 governorship election.

He recalled how he supported President Bola Tinubu when he was a member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and would replicate the same as a member of NDC.

According to Omo-Agege: “Peter Obi is my presidential candidate for the 2027, I have endorsed him. I’m a political animal and when I was in APC I gave my all but now I’m in NDC, take it to the bank that my loyalty to the party stands.

“If you believe I lost the NDC primary, then I have a plot of land to sell to you, I won the primaries. Sheriff’s e-rat are afraid of me and they are scared of what I will do to them at the elections.”

What has happened to Datti?

Why has he been behaving like a jilted lover since Obi teamed up with Kwankwaso?

Bentacur007:
They are getting wiser day by day
People go wise well well for this coming election

If Nigerians truly start rejecting rice from Tinubu and APC then it’s game over for them because they have nothing much else left to offer apart from buying votes.

How I wish we can do something to educate vast Nigerians against vote buying.

Forget Cho Cho Cho …

You constantly issued statements against Jonathan; asking him to resign.

You protested against Buhari.

Why have you suddenly gone mute now?

Whitlow hold you for mouth?

Now that people have gotten wise and started rejecting APC rice, what will they share now?

Families of pupils and teachers abducted by bandits in Oyo State have rejected rice and cash brought by government officials, insisting that their priority was the safe return of their loved ones, a community leader has revealed.

The Baale of Yawota, Emmanuel Alade, recounted the community’s reaction during an interview with News Central on Monday while describing the events surrounding the abduction that occurred in the Orire Local Government Area of the state.

According to Alade, government representatives who visited the affected communities to sympathise with residents were turned away when they offered relief materials and money.

“When the government officials came, they came with rice and money, but the parents rejected it,” he said.

“The women who are government officials on Governor Seyi Makinde’s team came to console us. They brought rice and money, but the parents said they did not want it. They said what they wanted was for their children to be released.”

Alade also recounted how the attack unfolded, saying he saw unfamiliar individuals pass through the area shortly before gunshots rang out across the community.

“On the day the incident happened, I was sitting here when I saw them pass by, but I did not know them. Not long after, we started hearing gunshots. People said bandits had entered the community and everyone ran away,” he said.

“The person who went to meet them was killed, and that was how the students were taken away. Little children were abducted while the gunmen kept shooting.”

He added that community members later reported the incident to the police, who subsequently visited the area.

The revelation comes amid a series of high-profile visits by state and federal government officials to the affected communities as efforts continue to secure the release of the abductees.

Governor Seyi Makinde had on Saturday met with families of the kidnapped pupils and staff members at Ahoro-Esiele community, assuring them that security agencies were working tirelessly to rescue the victims.

The governor said his administration had intensified security meetings and operations since the incident occurred and vowed that all abductees would be brought home safely.

The following day, a federal government delegation led by the chief of staff to the president, Femi Gbajabiamila, visited Esiele and Yawota communities on the directive of President Bola Tinubu.

The delegation, which included National Security Adviser Nuhu Ribadu, Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu and Chief of Defence Staff General Christopher Musa, assured residents that every available resource was being deployed to secure the release of the victims.

The mass abduction, which occurred more than two weeks ago, has heightened fears among residents and renewed concerns over security in communities located along Oyo State’s border areas.
