Atiku is a drowning man who is just bitter because the so called coalition isn't attracting big wigs. I'm glad life is rewarding him in his own coin, he is getting the exact treatment he and his goons gave Jonathan. Atiku would have long completed his tenure had it been he was wise enough to support Jonathan. I'm glad Tinubu is stripping him naked I don't see how Atiku can get up to 3 million votes from the upcoming election, it will be very difficult. 2027 will be the easiest election ever conducted as the winner will emerge with a landslide. How I wish the e transmission will be fully signed into law so that anyone that loses won't throw tantrums up and down. As it stands, Emilokan is over 99% sure of winning, it is what it is. The opponents will be beaten to stupor. 41 Likes 3 Shares |

Defecting means nothing to we Nigerians. As Sheriff defected that does not mean I will vote for APC. I voted Sheriff but won't vote APC and Sheriff. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Not like I'm making a case for Atiku, but just like I said previously, the governors in Nigeria should be the laziest governors of any country practicing federalism. They just behave like zombies, no innovation nor ideology, just building flyovers and roads that can't last up to 5years. They're just after their stomach. Let's say ADC manages to win in 2027, all of them will decamp to the ADC, and the cycle continues. They're a very lucky lot. 3 Likes 1 Share |

They have nothing to offer... They are mostly empty. That's why they run to stay in the shadows of the ruling party to remain in power. None of them can stand their grounds or let their works speak for them. This generation of governors are a shame. Imagine the era of governors like ibori, igbenedion, wike, even tinubu himself etc running from pillar to post. No... They knew their onions. Not the mediocre failures we have now parading as governors! 3 Likes |

This is stupid lie to say sir. Let's even be real for once and leave bias out of it. 1. Obi through his terrible leadership influenced the factionalization and internal crisis of LP. Eventually, lawmakers elected through his hype in 2023 left and Obi himself eventually jumped ship to the ADC, without ever solving the issues. 2. The PDP started having issues in 2023 and you sir, Mr. Atiku, were one of the major factors that caused the crack by unwilling to cede the party ticket to the south. From G5 to PDP splitting into two - the Wike caucus and the Makinde caucus. PDP started moving from one court case to another. They have many pending cases in the court as we speak. And you sir, you are an hypocrite because you also left the PDP to the ADC - wasn't it about your personal survival too?Since 1990, how many parties have you rotated. You've been part of the APC too - you defected from one party to APC BTW. So why castigate those defecting as you've done in the past? 3. We all saw ADC's level of preparedness and performace during the FCT council election. Your party won only 8 out of about 3,000 PU. In addy, you couldn't even provide party agents to cover 3k PU in Abuja, whereas there are 200k PU to cover nationwide in about 10 months. Your candidate in AMAC got only 7 votes in his PU and couldn't even mobilize more than 10 voters in own base. Sir, aren't these politicians who left the sinking ships called LP, PDP justified for avoiding your ADC and going to APC? 4. Your ADC is no where close to being prepared for the 2027 election. With 10 months to go: - You've not done ward and LG Congress - You don't even have a basic digital register of your members. We saw your party spokesperson come on national TV yesterday to cry that your are not prepared and that INEC should do something. One question Nigerians are asking is: what were you guys doing when the public hearing and consultations of the electoral bill were going on? Which means you people knew nothing about the content of the bill that was in the public for months and were only focused on the electronic transmission part for cheap politics score. Optics over substance. This shows a high level of unseriousness and unpreparedness on your part. - You complained about the initial election date falling on Ramadan period, it was changed and you are still complaining about the new date. - Every bye election your party has participated since your coalition launched has been a disastrous outing. From one election to the next, there was no single sign that you guys were improving. With all these, why are you blaming and gaslighting governor for jumping into the APC? And if you noticed sir, Nigerians are now getting tired of your coalition unseriousness . They are no longer buying the "Tinubu is evil. Tinubu is killing opposition" narrative. Just go across the media and check public sentiment and opinion. Even people who had supported you in the past. It is sad that 10 months to the general election, people who thought your party is a viable opposition are already conceding defeat and many switching sides. We've never had this bad with regards to opposition in Nigeria. Your opposition is the weakest in the history of this country. Rather look inward and reevaluate instead of shifting blame and gaslighting Nigerians that Tinubu or APC is the problem or that defecting governors are selfish blah blah. The people are wiser now. You people are/were the creator of your own problem. 16 Likes |

But you're opposing APC for national survival, right? It's obvious these people are working very hard for Tinubu. They probably commonsense saw there's no point opposing progress. You should be doing or having something superior if you're opposition. Not just occupying opposition like witches and wizards oppose progress. 4 Likes |

It's normal in Nigeria politics, personal interest first before any other considerations, Alhaji Atiku can't exonerate himself from this,he has moved from one party to another several times and the basis for doing so was to fullfil his life ambition of becoming Nigeria president,the more reason why it's senseless for anyone to die or killed for a Nigerian politician. 1 Like |

That's not perfection of rigging. It's a wooing strategy that these governors admired and accepted. Now, he expects them to work for him, having increased their monthly allocations tremendously. Learn to reason with situations even if you're off the tandem, not stereotyping as you've been fed always. Stand out to ask questions and know why for every action. helinues: |

SlavaUkraini:This is bitter truth. The PDP governors defecting to APC are bunch of disappointed to voters who voted them. Borrowed money, savings from removal of subsidy and increased generation of revenue through economic strangulation of the masses and nothing to show for security of life and property, food, health, education, social services and infrastructure improvement or development as truly inherited but totally complicated and compounded by the current government , even with NO sign and sight of hope of betterment. What else those governors and individuals need as performance assessment to remain in opposition and campaign on to take over power from the current calamitous ruling party? 1 Like |
