I thought Penguin2 and Racoon are going about claiming no one dares campaign for Tinubu in the north. So, what’s happening here?

My good friend Aminda will soon rush in here to post an AI deepfake video of the rally with a sai Atiku voice over. With the way these guys put in so much effort into lying and propaganda, I’m sure they have convinced themselves that the lies will eventually turn to the actual reality on Election Day

Don’t forget to tell them to wear their helmets

Some people said Kwankwaso was deceiving Peter Obi.

05 Toyota Camry brings out vapor from the exhaust at cold start, but after it warms up particularly after driving a few miles, it rattles which was linked to timing chain slacking, release some smoke during hard acceleration and eventually short oil. It also finds it difficult to climb hill. I really can use AC too as it will idle roughly.

Recently changed the oil from Mobil xhp 20w-50 to mobil 2000 5w-30. Also clean it's clogged PCV valve

Any recommendations to mitigate this or a mechanic around Lagos that could work on this. Thanks

This vehicle nearly killed me.

I think it’s the Toyota brand with the worst engine.

I even worked my own engine then but it didn’t last a week before the problem resumed.

Sell it now or be ready for unending headache.

Stop saying they changed obi votes when you have no proof please. Bauchi people are radical Muslims like zamfara , nothing for obi. Even Dogara didn't support obi. Atiku will likely win Bauchi with reduced margins

You forgot that Southern Bauchi is predominantly Christian?

I had a colleague from southern Bauchi who told me what happened in their region. So, I’m not just making conjectures.

“If they fail to count our votes, we will count them.”

2027 is not 2023

Peter Obi, Presidential Candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), has declared that he is ready to lose his life while protecting his votes in the 2027 election.

Speaking at a town hall meeting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, on Thursday, Obi charged Nigerians to prevent a repeat of the “irregularities” witnessed during the 2023 general election.

In 2023, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) failed to upload election results electronically due to the alleged failure of IReV.

Critics had accused the commission of hiding under the alleged failure of IReV to rig the election against the opposition.

Obi, who ran under Labour Party, and former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar who was candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had rejected the declaration of President Bola Tinubu as winner of the election and headed to the court.

But Tinubu’s election victory was upheld by the court.

Speaking at the event tagged: “Obi Talks Nigeria”, the NDC Presidential Candidate said those plotting to manipulate the election would fail in their mission.

He urged his supporters to go all out and exercise their franchise on election day, saying no one would intimidate them or prevent their votes from counting.

“Nobody will intimidate us again at the polling booth. If you get to any polling booth today, the highest number of officials you see is five. The average number of voters is 40 to 50. There is no way five people will intimidate 50 people.”

“This time all of us will rescue our country. Somebody said, ‘We are ready to die.’ Let me tell you, I’m ready to die too.

“We will make sure we have coordination to ensure that such intimidation does not arise. Yes, they will try to manipulate the IReV. But let me tell you, it will not be easy this time,” he said.

“There will be so many IReVs this time. If there is a network glitch, we will give them another one that has no glitch,” he said.

“By allowing them to continue, that glitch will glitch our lives. That is what we are suffering today,” Obi said.

On his part, NDC Vice Presidential Candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, appealed to voters to avoid past mistakes of not choosing competent leaders with the capacity to address the country’s challenges.

He said despite the number of states that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) currently controls, the party will still lose the next election.

“I believe that Nigerians must not make mistakes again. This is the time to get it right. And anything to the contrary, I believe people, if they make a mistake, certainly people will regret making that mistake. Because it will be too costly for the people and the country.”

“Jonathan was the president, the sitting president lost the election. I’ve given you an example, especially those who think because they have over 30 governors, they cannot lose the election. That was a very big mistake,” he said.

My own point is that, the woman is only speaking for herself.

There's no time Itsekiris were part of the Eastern region.

Politically they were not part of Eastern region but geographically and socially, they considered themselves easterners and related with Igbos more than they related with westerners.

You heard the woman say that Onitsha was their market.

If they considered themselves westerners, why did they not make Ibadan their market?

CodeTemplar:
These northern folks are only tired of Tinubu partly because Atiku is now available and partly because the national cake is fast dwindling in output.
Very anyhow mentality.

Is reality finally dawning on you or are you and your ilks still grandstanding?

The presidency has been arguing that the issue Tinubu has in the US is a civil matter. This has prompted Rufai Oseni to ask if FBI keeps civil records.

So, does FBI keep civil, and not criminal, records?

Does the FBI keep civil records!

Well, an X user responded and said no that the FBI does not keep civil records based on her own inquiry.

No FBI DOES NOT KEEP CIVIL RECORDS.
I recently applied for clearance from FBI. And they had NO RECORD of me. According to them, they scanned my fingerprints and they have no data.
The person they have 399 pages on is a Criminal. National-level criminal, not even State level.

AMINDA:
I believe the grand plan will eventually be to suppress Obi in the South and rig him out. Wike is already alluding to that. The biggest question would be if Obi has the motivated support base and enough momentum to resist rigging. Resistance to rigging must begin before the election day.

You must be joking if you think what happened in 2023 will happen again.

Let me even tell you that what happened in 2023 happened only because we trusted INEC to do what they promised they would do.

But in 2027 we are deploying the Osun template. Nobody is believing anything INEC says again.

So, don’t worry, nobody is rigging Obi’s votes in the south.

Only in Lagos where we know they will be planning their rubbish again.

But you see Southeast and Southsouth, it’s no go area for Tinubu and APC. Let’s see if they will rig in Southwest will be enough to make Tinubu president.

When some of talk about the extent of psychological warfare that was deployed against the image of the Igbos and in getting Igbo neighbors to hate them, some people will call it victim mentality.

But this is an old woman who witnessed it all speaking.

"When I was growing up, we always said we were Eastern Region; Onitsha Market, Igbo and the Eastern Region were all we knew. I was schooling in Sapele when the war broke out. Words cannot explain how much the British and Fulani poisoned our minds against the Igbos. There was no internet or social media then to uncover their lies."

Is Atiku getting more popular in the north?

If yes, where will Tinubu get his votes now?

The Special Assistant on New Media to the Kebbi State Government, Comrade Uthman M. Jibo, has resigned from his position and announced his decision to join the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

Jibo tendered his resignation from the government position on September 1, 2026, with immediate effect.

In his resignation letter addressed to the Secretary to the State Government, Jibo said the decision followed “deep reflection and a careful assessment of the current realities,” adding that personal considerations also contributed to his decision.

He said he was stepping aside to remain faithful to his personal convictions, principles and integrity.

In a separate letter dated September 2 and addressed to the APC Ward Chairman of Galadima Ward, Argungu, Jibo also resigned his membership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, with immediate effect.

He said the decision to leave the APC followed careful deliberation and consultations with his political associates and supporters.

Jibo stated that he had decided to align himself with the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

He described his time in the APC as a valuable political experience and thanked the party leadership and members for the opportunities provided to him.

You feel you will escape what is coming by burying your head in the sand and pretend it’s not happening?

Racoon:
Sadly, all the people in the APC have became arrogant, inconsiderate, inhuman and power drunk that they now see an average Nigerian citizen as a subhuman being.

The people that will liberate this nation from these brutes are the citizens themselves. I said it. The north helped to foist the APC disaster from Búhari upon this nation. They will help to offload them from our national life.

That is Tinubu’s greatest sin - the sheer arrogance of the people around him.

The way they talk to Nigerians and dismiss every of our concerns as noise and inconsequential.

And then there’s Wike with his loquaciousness. Always insulting the sensibilities of Nigerians as if we don’t matter.

And now the day of reckoning is nigh and they won’t escape it.

Yesterday it was in Gusau, Zamfara state. Today it’s Argungu, Kebbi State.

And now I’m forced to ask, where is APC’s stronghold currently?

Another one again, this time in Argungu, kebbi state.

Residents of Argungu were chanting "APC bamuyi" meaning we don't support APC.

ratcock:
He should do so publicly.
The press statement from his campaign organization is not enough.

How many times has your Tinubu spoken publicly and not through proxies?

The campaign organization of the NDC candidate for Kano Central, Dr Nasir Gawuna, has issued a rebuttal to the recent reports making rounds about his impending defection to APC.

First they said he was going to ADC.

When that failed they manufactured his impending defection to APC and were rejoicing about it.

Well, Gawuna team has now denied that theirs any plan for defection.

*OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE*

RE: DEFECTING GROUP IS NOT OUR LOSS — CLARIFYING MISCONCEPTIONS REGARDING THE SO-CALLED "GAWUNA TEAM" AND REAFFIRMING NDC’S UNFORGETTABLE PREPARATIONS FOR 2027

The attention of the Gawuna Campaign Coordinating Team has been drawn to misleading reports and statements circulating across various media platforms alleging that "Gawuna’s bigwigs" have dumped the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) and are set to rejoin the All Progressives Congress (APC) following a recent solidarity visit to Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf.

To set the record straight and protect the general public from political deceit, we categorically state that the so-called "Gawuna’s Team" making headlines had long severed ties with the official political structure of His Excellency, Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna. Their departure dates back to June, when their self-serving and completely unjustified personal demands were firmly rejected by H.E. Dr. Gawuna, a leader renowned for his unwavering integrity and principled politics.

The primary cause of the strain in H.E. Gawuna's relationship with these individuals was their unilateral initiation of overt contacts with the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Acting entirely on their own volition and without the prior knowledge, consent, or authorization of Dr. Gawuna, this group attempted to entice him into accepting the ADC governorship ticket. They pledged that the ADC would fully finance his gubernatorial campaign, reserve legislative contestable slots for their personal political ambitions, and offer various other inducements.
When those initial unauthorized maneuvers collapsed, the group shifted their focus toward brokering a return to the APC. While three members of their circle chose to remain within the NDC structure, the rest continued their political shopping spree, desperate to find an alternative platform that would cater to their personal desires. Their actions have been guided by personal interest rather than any collective ideology or genuine loyalty to Dr. Gawuna.
As we earnestly build momentum and prepare for the 2027 general elections, we reassure all party members, grassroots stakeholders, and dedicated supporters that our operational strategies, campaign structures, and internal systems were fully established independent of these defecting individuals. Consequently, we harbour absolutely no fear of sensitive political information leaking or being weaponized to undermine our electoral readiness.

Furthermore, our movement continues to expand at an unprecedented rate. Day after day, the Gawuna political family welcomes high-profile political heavyweights, community leaders, and formidable grassroots mobilizers across all 44 Local Government Areas of Kano State. These continuous, high-value additions have more than effectively addressed any perceived vacuum left by the exiting group, further cementing our undisputed path to victory in 2027.

We urge the good people of Kano, political observers, and the media to disregard any claims associating this group with H.E. Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna or the official NDC machinery. Our focus remains resolutely fixed on delivering purposeful leadership and driving true progress for Kano State.

Dist. Sen. Saleh Adamu Kwaru

I wonder why these people dint know that the northerners had rejected APC since the 2024 August End bad governance protests.

That alone was the first sign.

They like to lie to themselves a lot.

I’ve found it amusing that some people have dedicated their time talking about how Von Batten is actually a fellow that was previously known as Ikemefuna Okeke.

Now, the question I asked myself is, did this fellow ever hide his past?

Again, does the fact that he was known as Ikemefuna reduce the damage he’s currently causing to Tinubu’s image overseas?

Well, Trump has now appointed him to a White House presidential commission.

Von Batten-Montague-York, L.C. is proud to announce that President Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) has appointed our Managing Partner, Dr. Karl Von Batten, to serve the United States of America as a Commissioner on a @WhiteHouse presidential commission.

Dr. Von Batten is deeply grateful to President Trump (The Chief) for this appointment and for the confidence placed in him. This presidential appointment represents a tremendous honor and reflects Dr. Von Batten’s longstanding commitment to public service, leadership, and our nation. Dr. Von Batten looks forward to answering the call to serve our President and country.

We congratulate Dr. Von Batten on this distinguished honor and wish him every success in this important public service role. 🇺🇸

At a rally organized by Senator Abdulaziz Yari to celebrate his appointment as DG of Tinubu reelection campaign in Zamfara, the crowd was heard chanting “Sai Atiku” instead of chanting APC slogans. I suppose that is why they could only post pictures of the event.

Will Tinubu’s DG deliver his state at this point?

Zamfara APC Members held rally to appreciate Bola Tinubu for appointing Yari as DG. However, the response from the people is very clear NIGERIA SAI Atiku Abubakar.

Zamfara. Niger and Kwara seem more realistic. Why is no one talking about Bauchi?

Well, I said Zamfara because NDC has a strong candidate in the state.

I’ve not seen much activity from Kwara and Niger. That’s why I didn’t include them because I don’t speak when I don’t have sufficient information.

Then Bauchi, I feel Bauchi people will vote Atiku regardless of what happens. Also, governor Abdullahi is aligned with Makinde. So, I don’t know where they will pitch their tent.

But I must point out that Peter Obi recorded good votes from Bauchi in 2023 but they changed it because there was nobody on ground protect the votes.

Obi will visit more churches.

Agbado people should get to cry harder.

Olofofo247ng:
Peter Obi is Tinubu's greatest rival online while Tinubu only acknowledged Atiku as his greatest rival in reality. Peter is not just in the game this time. If voting were to be done online, he would have got something similar to what he got in 2023.

In this coming election, I doubt if he would get half of what he pulled in 2023. People have started losing interest in him and the more interviews he attends, the more his followers get to see his weak points.

Lol!

I remember how you lots swore he will not win 1 Local Government in 2023. He ended up shocking you guys and your paymasters.

Now you’re back with rhetorics?

Una go learn

AMINDA:
Tinubu is a Southerner. Why does Obi want to truncate the tenure of his fellow Southerner? They both share the same policies, especially on subsidy. Does he just want to be president for the sake of it? Atiku brings an alternative that is at variance with Tinubu and Obi's position so Nigerians now have the liberty of making their choices from a variety of options.

Obi wants to ‘truncate’ Tinubu’s tenure because his government is dangerously headed to the wrong direction and everyone in Nigeria agrees we can’t continue like this.

And about having the same policy on subsidy, you don’t expect Obi to be as inconsistent as your candidate who promised to remove subsidy in 2023 and is now proposing to return it because he’s looking for votes.

The difference is that while Tinubu is using subsidy savings to buy private yacht, new aircraft and dolling out trillions of naira to his cronies in the name of constructing coastal road to nowhere, Obi will channel the savings properly to ventures that will benefit all Nigerian.

Similarly, he will institute law and order where criminals will no longer reign supreme and disobey court orders. Or where an ijiot with D7 WAEC result will become governor of a state.

AMINDA:
This is a far better deal than Obi making a promise to Kwankwaso to do only one term. When you enter into alliances in a presidential race, negotiations are made with consideration for your region and not just yourself. I am still of the view that a three-horse race will be the easiest way to defeat Tinubu come 2027.

But you know that this proposal is screaming Obi all over it, right?

Atiku will be pressured to step down.

It’s the turn of the South.

That’s why the 2 of you will be retired in 2027.

You have destroyed Nigeria enough.

Make una go rest.

“He said the proposed government would be anchored on four principles: competence, integrity, national inclusion and fair representation.”

The question now is between Atiku and Obi, who falls into this bracket?

A coalition of six opposition parties has proposed the establishment of a ‘government of national competence’ that would operate for a single four-year transition term ahead of the 2027 general election.

The proposal was made on Monday at a summit of opposition political parties organised by G100 in Abuja.

Political parties represented at the summit were the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Allied Peoples Movement (APM), Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) and Social Democratic Party (SDP).

Salihu Lukman, former vice-chairman (north-west) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who presented the proposal at the summit, said the proposed government would be anchored on four principles: competence, integrity, national inclusion and fair representation.

The coalition also proposed an enforceable transition charter to ensure that participating parties abide by the agreement.

Under the proposed framework, the coalition would establish a central leadership committee, a publicity and communication committee and a legal committee.

The coalition would also create working groups on democratic renewal, the single-term transition charter, national reforms, opposition unity and the selection of a common presidential candidate.

Lukman said the initiative is not seeking the dissolution of any political party or asking any candidate to withdraw from the 2027 race.

He said the immediate objective is to establish a framework for cooperation before discussions on leadership and candidates.

According to Lukman, G100 was facilitating the process without endorsing any political party or candidate.

He said the goal was to provide Nigerians with a credible alternative government in the 2027 elections.

https://www.thecable.ng/adc-pdp-ndc-propose-four-year-government-of-national-competence-ahead-of-2027/

AMINDA:
Objectively, Atiku currently has the momentum. He has kept the most pressure on Tinubu and has dominated the media in the past weeks. His position on subsidy is already resonating in the North, even cutting across Tinubu and Obi's traditional voters in the South because economics does not care about tribe or religion. In my honest view, if Obi had also maintained that he would bring back subsidy, he would have effectively taken Tinubu out of the race as many voters in the Southwest may have even pivoted towards him as the safer Southern option. By taking the same position as Tinubu, he gave Tinubu a lifeline and put his die-hard supporters in an awkward position where they are now forced to defend Tinubu's subsidy removal.

P.S: I still maintain that Obi needs to be in the race for Tinubu to be defeated.

Lol!

So, your definition of momentum is a few media headlines in the past week?

In 2023, his running mate, Okowa, was from Delta but he couldn’t win it. I doubt he even saw 25% of votes cast. What makes you think that will change now? What are the feelers on ground to support such?
