APC will implode from inside and it will shock even ADC and APC. Wait till May.

The Nigeria opposition are in the process of going through 3 phases

From shrinking to folded to Tossed
Yeah, that's the game. They are currently shrinking, when the election is 6 months, they will be folded, the next 6 months after , we should be ready to be tossing them around.

I actually had the privilege of knowing politics when growing up, so I am not surprised with this unprecedented moves by the governors to one party. They saw the sign in the leadership of president Tinubu

The word is not shrink. Its collapse ...its non existent.

I pity politicians whose means of livelyhood is only politics and they are now schemed out from the pot of soup...
No wonder Ameachi is crying of hunger....

There are over 200 million opposition Nigerians, that about 37 governors chose to be against the people isn't enough to say opposition "shrinks".

Opposition hasnt shrunk a bit. APC is leaving grassroot support and loyalty to hijack and target state ticket.

How has it benefited the average Nigerian?

These are just individuals pursuing their individual ambition at the detriment of the populace.

Nothing spectacular here if it doesn’t have a positive effect on the people.

Apc have been accumulating opposition members since 2023 yet never imploded. Did Ganduje lose any major election as Apc chairman? Has this current Apc chairman lose any major election?

Everything is still doing you biri biri

This is game over.

Tinubu is a boardroom and political tactician.

While the opposition focused on the social media, he was working at the grass roots and winning the allegiance of state governments.

The electoral result will be so embarrassing for Atiku and Peter Obi. Imagine the Governor of Atiku state doesn't even believe in their own illustrious son, and the same son expects the whole world to line up behind him.

See Obi too, the Governor of his state has rubbished him several times.

The victory of Tinubu is so assured.

Exactly. It is more of a groundwork in prep for mago-mago-ism.

Makinde! Makinde!! Makinde!!! How many times did I call you?

PDP also had something like this before it imploded. Just wait for it

Burob:
Nawa for the so called opposition, the ADC no even get one single state.

Fintiri defection to APC speak volumes of who Atiku is. ADC coalifusion leadership should query Atiku on why his home state collapsed in his face.

But some politically dormant people would say Tinubu is giving them money. No. Not at all. Character is key. Atiku doesn't have what it takes to tutor followers.

Since September last year, ADC coalifusion has been telling Nigeria and Nigerians that certain number of Gov will defect to the party. We're yet to see one and Transfer Market is about to close now.

with 30 state apc is still afraid of opposition in nigeria, adc was attacked in lagos, Kaduna,Edo two days ago.

Omoh see the people that teach Islamic terrorists that the first law they should learn is how to bow before Jews.

Tinubu APC is more stronger and formidable than the APC buhari left.

Just say JAGABAN,

On your mandate we shall stand

You've been saying this for how long now? APC is blessed with a stabilizer in person of Tinubu even before he became president.

So Obidents are up to 200million people ⁉️😱
I guess those that voted for APC in the past FCT, Anambra and other elections are from Mars ⁉️

Ndi otu nzuzo Kanu turned Obidents love to decieve themselves a lot.

You guys don't know how funny these your comments are to folks who ain't emotionally misled like you lot. 😁😄😀😅😂🤣

Tenses:

Yet the same apc is afraid of free,fair,credible and transparent election with their AUDIO expansion.

But they're the one with the loudest noise

You can say that again bro

Atiku dumping PDP and forming a coalition is a big political miscalculation.

prophet of doom you do well. In 2014 one late politician said APC would not last for a year but before his dead he started hobnobbing with APC. You will soon swallow your words

Don't mind those zone B.

They have all the governors yet they are scared of free and fair election, no be juju be that

They know Nigerians are ready to vote them out hence all these panicking.
