They truly exist. The Opposition is still doing Press up. Give them time they will beat the APC hands down 17% (61 votes)

In Nigeria, opposition requires heavy funding.

Tinubu had Lagos and some South Western states funding him

Lagos money in particular was the main reason Tinubu was successful as an opposition leader.

These people Prof is blaming cannot challenge Wike in FCT with empty pockets.
.
So only Lagos money was enough for Tinubu against the Almighty FG in 2007? Oga Tinubu is a selfless politician who sacrificed so much for opposition to stand between 2007 to 2015.I told people Peter Obi made his biggest political blunder by not fully integrating himself into labour party.

Political parties everywhere in the world needs funding and if the opposition in Nigeria doesn't look for money to fund their operations,they should forget 2027.Peter Obi is a former governor who stole heavily like every other ex governors in Nigeria.If Peter Obi truly loves Nigeria,he should bring out 70% of the funds he stole as governor to fund APC.Rotimi Amaechi is a known Treasury looter.where is the fund he stole as governor and minister of Transportation?Obi and Amaechi can conveniently raise $30m to fund ADC.In 2026 ,ADC can't pay party agents for FCT LGA elections?is that not absurdity?

Is that why he didn't put up a formidable opposition...? shocked

Some of you just like repeating what you heard. angry especially when it's been said for so long.

I guess it's tinubu that has the interest of Nigeria at heart! undecided
Abi o.

Jagaban has the interest of Nigeria at heart, and this is why he is the worst rogue in history.

He has raised revenue from higher tax burden on Lagosians, to increase the state budget 100 times without commensurate improvements in government services and public utilities provided by well paid civil servants.

He bragged about hitting his higher revenue target in August and that he is not borrowing anymore. Meanwhile he is borrowing more than PDP presidents who gave us cheap petrol and better life.

What is Tinubu doing with all the money apart from stealing it to bribe politicians and buy votes from deliberately impoverished and poorly educated people in true Stockholm Syndrome fashion huh

NaijaRoyalty:
…Says Buhari doesn’t have my kind of money

However, Buhari doesn’t have the kind of money I can steal neither does he have the money I can collect. He doesn’t even have the money for Lagos votes. So, whatever I promise, it’s for real and is coming from my pocket. It’s not until I go to Alausa before I get money to give you.”

Addressing APC supporters on the need to deliver votes, Tinubu said handsome cash rewards await those who can deliver votes for the party.

He said he would not make mistakes of the past where people would collect money in advance and not deliver on election day.

Tinubu added, “Those of you that say you come to Bourdillon for mobilisation, it is mobilisation that we are doing here or don’t you understand? Definitely, if you know people in your neighbourhood, our members, how we used to do.

He is speaking from both sides of the mouth.

He is not different from the mediocrity of the people he is lambasting.

As one claiming to be a professor of law, he is supposed to know that campaign ceases 24 hrs to election and that last day is devoted to sorting out the logistics, final horse trading and political negotiations, perfecting the situation room and field coordination etc.

Only an unserious and mediocre politician will be at a rally ground or switching resources to organize a rally when it is 24 hours to an election in Nigeria.
He mistakes activism for politics!

The usual, typical lie; " If I were a member of a political party".

Shameless Odinkalu can never disappoint. Is it not clear to every blind man at Sabo that you are an ADC apologist?

Odinkalu can never miss an opportunity to lie each time he gets it.

We do not need a photo-op to know where you belong, Obioma.

I don't agree with you, don't put the blame on political parties, put the blame on the people. This one people are complaining they are suffering, bla bla bla, I don't think people are suffering, because if they are suffering, they will ask what is the solution and what is the way forward.

Moreso, opposition parties don't have the funds for politics rallies as that, politics no easy ooooo. If you will get people to leave what they are doing and give you attention, like maximum attention, not all these soliciting for willing volunteers, and working with the willing volunteers. The language most Nigerians understand right now is money. If you give me money, I will go all out for you. Nigerians still see politics as a joke or childs play. So he shouldn't blame political parties, political parties are there to offer an helping hand, which ever hand you want to take depends on the voter, plus, there are evidences of vote manipulation. Numbers were doctored, he no see that one talk about, someone said, if you eat on the table, you observe table manner, God forgive me, most of these NGOs are working for the government and they are there for their own personal pocket. Which reasonable person will leave what they are doing to go and be sitting somewhere if there is nothing he will benefit from it, omo, see how Nigeria be now, people are suffering, make I leave my hustle come join you for one event centre for a talk on how to, like guy, I have a life to work on. Every man for himself right now
Opposition parties and lack of funds should not be appearing in the same statement.

How about ADC withdrawing a token from the amount exposed by Pandora abi Panama secret?
Aregesola nko?
Amechi nko?
Telephone is not for the poor who has been leeching from the national cake for over 40 years in various capacities nko?

Currently , Nigerians are more informed and enlightened about the policies and programs of Government...They cannot be fooled by the empty noise emanating from opposition camps , promising heaven and earth . You cannot give what you do not have....Many Nigerians know the anticedents of those masquerading as opposition forces....the demonic coalition will only toil in vain...😁😁😄😄😄😄

If this is your own brand of opposition, by daring orders and authority, then you would have been a very bad one.

Dey play. In developed worlds, oppositions are stubborn. They organise protest and make things difficult for the ruling class. Obi and Atiku are disgrace to opposition.

Re: A Disgrace, There’s No Opposition In Nigeria’ – Odinkalu Slams Atiku, Peter Obi by Mrexcell(m): 7:08am On Feb 24
It's very easy to be an arm chair critic what do u expect from opposition figures like obi, atiku and others who are currently facing so many challenges and traps tinibu and his apc has laid down for them? Tinubu and wike has completely taken over the pdp using federal institutions what do u expect loyal pdp members to do in such situations? Obi and atiku can't do it all alone they don't have the evil minds of going to kidnapp innocent school girls in their schools and also sponsoring terrorists to kill innocent nigerians just to paint the govt in bad light like we all witnessed during goodluck tenure with the apc. It's now left with the nigerian people to either fight and take back their country from hardened criminals or continue to wait for obi and atiku who are also been very careful not to enter into the trap the apc has set for them.

Maybe he wants obi and other opposition figures to go violent so that tinibu and his apc people can easily use the opportunity to arrest them and end their political carreers.

He has not contributed anything meaningful towards building a strong opposition.
All he knows is jumping from one TV station to another with his loud mouth.

You know better than odinkalu and I support your point.

How can he say he would come out on Friday to organize rally?

Does he realize that such contestant or political party will be disqualified?

The truth is that ADC is unserious and Nigerians are beginning to see it.

They said they would use FCT election to show Tinubu the calamity that will befall APC in 2027 but we didn't see anything of such. Rather, APC beat them blue black.

As for me and my household, we belong to the winning camp and we're fully Batified.

You obviously didn't read else you'd have noticed he said he's in no opposition so why should he send his son to lead a protest.

Truth be told and I stand to be corrected. All major opposition figures in Nigeria from the days of NADECO to President G.Jonathan are in APC, I meant they're the opposition voice in Nigeria!

We tend to forget that fact. The only opposition that would have face them is PDP, that's why Tinubu makes sure he degraded them!
