This Rivers election really pained both the Obidient and Atiku’s camp. They can feel it already in their bones that Rivers is gone to APC already. They’ve been crying since the results were announced. These are same people who celebrated just some few months ago when an unknown party from nowhere was announced to have cleared all the council seats in the states.

When other parties win, it’s victory for democracy. When APC wins, the election is shambolic and democracy is in danger. Bunch of pathetic opposition clowns

When Fubara did his kangaroo Local Government election just a few months ago. All of una dey jubilate o. No criticism. 😁😁😁😁

When that dude that won Wike's LG was busy destroying Wike's Legacies in his LG all of you were clapping hands and hailing him. 😁

The table suddenly turned and you are all shouting.


Who laughs last. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

An unelected arrangee state government should bpt be conducting elections
Plain ans simple

jmoore:
‎The recently concluded Rivers State Local Government elections, which miraculously produced over 2 million votes, stand as one of the most brazen assaults on democracy in Nigeria’s history. This figure is not just suspicious, it is mathematically insulting to the intelligence of Rivers people.
‎
‎For context, during the 2023 presidential elections, the entire state recorded only about 553,944 votes across all parties combined. Yet suddenly, for local government chairmanships and councillorships positions that usually attract low voter interest, the state is claiming more than quadruple that number? The arithmetic exposes the fraud: this was not an election, but a manufactured charade designed to test the limits of rigging.
‎
‎This sham exercise cannot be divorced from the wider political agenda. It is an open secret that a powerful politician, desperate to deliver Rivers State to Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027, is using these fabricated numbers to establish the infrastructure of electoral manipulation. What we just witnessed was a dress rehearsal for the highest-scale rigging in Nigeria’s political history, with Rivers State positioned as the epicenter.
‎
‎Rivers people must recognize the danger. If a local election can be so recklessly inflated, imagine what is being plotted for the 2027 presidential polls. The will of the people is being targeted for capture, not through persuasion or performance, but through ballot theft and statistical fraud.
‎
‎Rivers sons and daughters, whether at home or abroad must rise to the occasion. 2027 is not just another election; it is a battle for the political soul of Rivers State. Citizens must organize, defend the sanctity of the vote, and refuse to allow themselves to be used as pawns in a desperate quest for power.
‎
‎What happened in the Rivers local government elections is not democracy. It is pre-rigging, a carefully choreographed attempt to normalize electoral robbery. If it goes unchallenged, 2027 will not be an election, it will be an auction of Rivers people’s future.
‎
‎Rivers people: Protect your votes come 2027. Resist the capture. Defend your democracy.

Creamypie:
Tinubu is mocking democracy. Removing elected governor, dismantling election conducted by him. Putting an interim non elected one, approving local elections done by unelected appointed interim governor. Nigeria stopped moving forward after yar Adua, and started moving backward rapidly since buhari.

>>>After the 2013 Anambra State Governorship election that APC lost, Tinubu, Buhari and other APC leaders protested in Abuja, calling for Prof Attahiru Jega’s sack and dissolution of the management of INEC.

Now, the same APC people are shouting that Jega must not be removed.
Between November 2013 that they said Jega was a BAD person and now, has anything changed? <<<

>>>Here is THE NATION newspaper report of November 28, 2013...

#Anambra poll: Buhari, Tinubu, others protest at INEC headquarters#

Top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) led by a former Head of State, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari defied police and military barricade to march on the headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in protest against the shoddy conduct of the governorship poll in Anambra State.

They demanded outright cancellation of the election by INEC.

They also called for the resignation of INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega and dissolution of the management of the electoral body.

Reminiscence of pro-democracy struggle between 1993 and 1998 during the dark days of military era, the leaders trekked for about five kilometers from APC National Secretariat in Blantyre Street in Wuse II part of Abuja to Zambezi Crescent in Maitama District where INEC is located.

The initial stage of the trek was piloted by Governors Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun State) and Kayode Fayemi (Ekiti State) and many members of the National Assembly.

The great trek was later coordinated by a former National Secretary of the defunct Congress for Progressives Change, Engr. Buba Galadima.

But when the procession took off, Buhari and some top leaders of APC withstood the rigours of standing in an open lorry for the protest march.

Others tucked in the lorry were the National Chairman of APC, Chief Bisi Akande, the National Leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; a former National Chairman of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party, Chief Ogbonnaya Onu; a former National Chairman of the defunct All Peoples Party(APP), Alhaji Yusuf Ali; ex-Governor Ahmed Sani Yerima, ex-Governor Segun Osoba; ex-Governor Niyi Adebayo; Senator Nazif Suleiman; the Deputy National Secretary of APC, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, Senator Abu Ibrahim; and a former member of the House of Representatives, Comrade Dino Melaye.

Others who participated in the hectic protest were Senator Oluremi Tinubu; Senator (Prof.) Sola Adeyeye; Senator Domingo Obende; Senator Anthony Adeniyi; Senator Ahmed Lawan; Senator Gbenga Asafa; House Minority Leader, Hon. Femi Gbajiabiamila and the Chairman of the House Committee on the Diaspora, Hon. Abike Dabiri.

Others were the Deputy Minority Chief Whip in the House, Hon. Garba Datti; Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives, Hon. Suleiman Kawu; Hon. Umar Bago; Hon. Adeola Solomon; Hon. Yakubu Balogun; Hon. Pally Iriase; Hon. Munir Hakeem; Hon. Abayomi Ayeola; Hon. Taiwo Adelekan; Hon. Adeyinka Ajayi; Hon. Gafar Akintayo; Hon. Sunday Adepoju; Hon. Ajibola Famurewa; the APC National Women Leader, Barrister Sharon Ikeazor, APC National Treasurer, and Hajiya Sadiat Umar Farouk,

Waving brooms amidst blare of revolutionary songs, traffic was brought to a standstill for about two hours along the ever busy Ademola Adetokunbo Street in Wuse II.

Many workers in the business district abandoned offices to identify with the protesters.

They wielded leaflets and placards with the following inscriptions: “Anambrarians, Nigerians are with you,” “Anambra Election: Jega, not the INEC Messiah, Resign Now,” “2015, No hope with Jega,” “No Supplementary Election in Anambra,” “Cancel Anambra Governorship Election Now,” “Election Fraud Must Stop Now.”

‘How Atiku saved Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president’‘

A new book has revealed how former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, saved ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo from near bankruptcy before he emerged president in 1999.

According to the new book, entitled ‘’Too Good to Die: Third Term and the Myth of the Indispensable Man in Africa,’ Atiku made all his resources available for Obasanjo’s presidential campaign.

The book, written by former chairman of National Human Rights Commission, NHRC, Chidi Odinkalu, and Ayisha Osori, author of ‘’Love Does Not Win Elections,” also revealed how Obasanjo beat late Alex Ekwueme to the presidential ticket of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the 1999 election.

Quoting an account from Atiku, the authors said the trio of Ibrahim Babangida, Theophilus Danjuma and Abdulsalami Abubakar wanted PDP to adopt Obasanjo as their presidential candidate “because they considered him the best person for the job.”

“Implicit in their position was their belief that they knew how to manipulate Obasanjo and the fact that Obasanjo did their bidding in 1979. They felt secure that he could be managed again,” the authors wrote.

Atiku was reportedly asked to join a team to Ogun to inform Obasanjo that he was going to run for the highest office in the land.

“When Atiku and Obasanjo discussed the call to serve as president, Obasanjo said he could not be president because he was a nearly bankrupt ex-convict. Atiku, through General (Aliyu) Gusau, paid money into Obasanjo’s account to begin his financial rehabilitation.

“Head of State Abdulsalami Abubakar helped out by granting him an unconditional pardon. Atiku put everything he had at his disposal to support Obasanjo’s emergence as the PDP presidential candidate and, when he joined the ticket as the vice-presidential nominee, continued to make his assets available to Obasanjo and the campaign.

Wike lobbied PDP committee to be Atiku’s running mate – Ex-gov’ship aspirant

Thu, 29 Sep 2022 14:33:04 WAT

Muazu Magaji, a former governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party in Kano State, has alleged that the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, lobbied members of the party’s committee constituted to advise the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on the choice of his running mate.

Magaji disclosed this while speaking on Channels TV’s Sunrise Daily, on Thursday.

The Kano politician also argued that there was no proof that Atiku promised Wike the vice president position as claimed.

The PDP committee had recommended the Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa; Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel and Wike.

The committee, however, scored Wike above the other two contenders but Atiku decided to settle for Okowa. A decision that has since unsettled Wike’s camp.

Magaji, however, claimed that Wike lobbied to be scored ahead of others, adding that the Rivers State governor should not be trusted with important positions in the country.

Most people in rivers state don't even care about politics anymore

anonimi:
“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”

― Bertolt Brecht

At least in Wike and Tinubu’s type of Democracy, local government elections are conducted with different parties winning election. In Peter Obi’s democracy, local government election are only conducted two months to the end of an 8 years tenure with only one party winning all contested positions.


Should we also talk about how Atiku led the shameless rigging of the 2003 general election? Somethings, I just wish I have the power to move the comments of some of you obidients to the jokes section because that’s where they honestly belong.


You all think we are some kids who don’t know the antecedents of all the rogue politicians you’re idolizing, right? You think Nigerians are some dumb people who can’t read in between the lines?

iwaeda:
Many people here are supporting Wike and Tinubu's type of democracy, I counsel them to go and read about Hitler, baby boy, Musoloni and so on. They will understand that Hunger is Bad. All I know is Tinubu is OTP
