Nigeria remains to the wild.


I wish I can owe my eyes and wake up in another country.

Let’s stand up and demand what is right at all levels.

APC should not be allowed to destroy democracy.
We should be given options in any electoral contest.

Wake up Nigerians.

Guy, some of una brain shaa

you wan compare am with the one wey Niger don wash?,which normal person will be claiming ticket entitlement where other candidates are contesting for it.

Blackmail doesn't work in law. You came into ADC and took over power from the little people. Those guys have been in court since then, now that the court has taken up the case you are trying blackmail.

The only person that I feel sorry for is Obi who already had a brand in Labour Party joining you guys in ADC. By now Labour party wuld have made a big inroad maybe even get Kwankwaso onboard as potential VP in LP.

The kind of shame tinubu will wear wen in his grave is unfathomed. Let him continue

MEGAWATCH:
Tinubu the Democrat is destroying opposition parties and also lying about it.


The only party in Nigeria not having issues is Democratic Tinubu's APC.

Tinubu feels Nigerians are HYPOCRITE like him and his supporters.

Odin13:

Funny people..

Oya send your bots to ban me

The battery operated temu president
Jagbajantis of no value.

If some people have the right to say Obi should be given presidential ticket unopposed because he is their preferred candidate then supporters of Tinubu have the right to have their own candidate unopposed too,otherwise let every one contest and that is why it is called democracy.
I’m still wondering how someone that can’t even win party primary want to win general election,even Sowore doesn’t struggle to get presidential ticket

Honestly I tried explaining the same fact to someone in the office but he’s taking it personally!

Tinubu will be arrested, Apc is a political wind of iran

You have nothing reasonable to say, enjoy the like you wanted

Do you want them to disobey a court judgement? Let the opposition put their house in order. It is a small challenge for any group seeking to take power

madridguy:
The clown 🤡 should go and rest. You bullying tactics is no longer working. Anyone who want a political party should join properly or create a new party.

Enough of political banditry.

Say No To Political Scavengers.

See as you dey foam for mouth.
Nor be you dey cry hopelessly when BRT prices were increased a couple of weeks ago?

E pain am.

Let ADC hijarkers be pretnding they do not know what is happening. This case has been on since last year.

The factional chairman of the African Democratic Congress, Nafiu Bala, has dismissed as fake a resignation letter purportedly attributed to him, describing it as a fraudulent creation by desperate political actors.

In a statement issued on Sunday by the Director of Media and Public Affairs in the Office of the National Chairman, Dr. Christopher Okechukwu, the party said the document dated May 18, 2025, was neither authored nor signed by Hon. Nafiu Bala and lacks the official insignia of the ADC.

Okechukwu emphasised that Nafiu Bala has not resigned from his position and continues to lead the party following due process as stipulated in its constitution. It further described the fake letter as a desperate ploy designed to destabilise the party.

He said, “The National Leadership of the African Democratic Congress under the legitimate and constitutionally recognized Acting National Chairman, Hon. Nafiu Bala, hereby issues this statement to categorically deny the existence of any legitimate resignation letter from Hon. Nafiu Bala and to expose the malicious plot engineered by former National Chairman Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu and a coalition of power-seeking elements attempting to hijack the party’s structures through undemocratic means.

“The ADC emphatically denies the authenticity of a resignation letter purportedly authored by Hon. Nafiu Bala and dated May 18, 2025. This document is entirely fabricated, fraudulent, and maliciously circulated by certain mischievous elements within and outside our party seeking to undermine the ADC’s constitutional leadership and sow discord among our members.

“Hon. Nafiu Bala has not at any time resigned from his position as Deputy National Chairman of the ADC, nor has he relinquished his leadership role following the legitimate transition processes outlined in the party constitution.

“The fraudulent document, which lacks official party letterhead, emblems, or insignia, represents a desperate attempt to create confusion and destabilise the party’s operations.

“Constitutional Leadership Transition Process: The ADC affirms that according to our constitution, any individual seeking to assume a leadership position must. Be a registered member of the party for at least one year. Maintain current financial obligations and membership status. Follow due process in leadership transitions.

“The ADC leadership has identified a coordinated effort by a coalition of power-seeking individuals, including former National Chairman Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu and certain external political actors, to illegitimately seize control of the party’s structures in violation of constitutional provisions.

“This group has attempted to submit unauthorised documentation to the Independent National Electoral Commission, including the fabricated resignation letter, as part of a broader scheme to undermine the ADC’s legitimate leadership and impose unelected officials who do not meet constitutional requirements for party leadership.”

He called on the INEC to reject any unauthorised documentation and recognise only Hon. Nafiu Bala’s leadership.

He added, “The African Democratic Congress calls upon INEC to reject any unauthorised documentation and recognise only the legitimate leadership under Hon. Nafiu Bala. Party members nationwide are to remain vigilant against misinformation campaigns.

“The general public is to disregard false claims about party leadership changes. Law enforcement agencies are to investigate this attempt to undermine democratic processes.

“The African Democratic Congress under Hon. Nafiu Bala’s leadership remains the legitimate, constitutionally-recognised platform committed to Nigeria’s democratic development.”

He urged stakeholders to reject the desperate attempts by power mongers to destabilise our party and instead join us in building a stronger democratic future.

I can't even pay for BRT now, I have been walking around because of the price hike.

Meanwhile, you can cry till next year, INEC will do their job perfectly.

He only has agberos and bandits

Emeskhalifa:
Does Tinubu still have supporters?
Genuinely asking?

fergie001:
Was I not reciting and explaining same thing yesterday?.

Rivers lawmakers publicly announced their defection. They sued the Governor and it was in their affidavit that they had defected yet the Court said membership of a political party is determined by the Party not the Courts.
APC members here were asking if Amaewhule's name was in the APC Register.

Today, Nafiu has been expelled. A Party is supreme over its own affairs. The man resigned, a NEC meeting was held, INEC was present and the formal handover of activities took place..... A NEC meeting, yet Professor of Law has now interpreted ante bellum in his own way.

Like I said, we have seen this before. The worst institution hit by Tinubu's ascendancy is the Judiciary, it will take years to right the wrongs.

It's finally going to be a coronation and not an election, so INEC share the money and give me my own cut.

i strongly believed inec has legal team and would have consulted well before reaching that decision. for me its simple, talk to the other man to withdraw the court case or ADC sue INEC on this

Sorry for yourself. That you're even hungry in this job is another fact that calls for psychological health examination of most online crooners.

You want democracy but tinubu should be the sole candidate in the election. Anyways I don't want too much talk. When nigerian youths are ready I will be there to create my own impact. I am done talking and I am done respecting and obeying illegitimacy.

Nigeria is in for a long thing, tinubu and his supporters will be disappointed big time

DatNiggaDaz:


Sane Nigerians come and read logic and feel yourselves with laugther

This kind reasoning tire me bro, it's terrible arguing with such persons I swear

phemray:

1. The man can't be spoken to.
He has his paymasters. That window is shut, he was publicly expelled by the ADC in Gombe in August. How can you talk to an expelled member?

2. We have seen INEC do what they do many times. This sam INEC on Monday affirmed Mark to go on with the National Convention and yesterday, on their prompting has done another thing.

3. Any suit they go ahead to file will refer them to the Primary suit already at the Federal High Court.

4. The decision of handing over to Mark was a NEC decision in the presence of INEC who acknowledged same, that is binding and final.

5. The Appeal Court did set this up for good reasons. It is an interlocutory appeal, so going to the Supreme Court will still get same outcome.

6. It has every backing of the President, he wants to run alone in 2027.

This charge and Bail boy has started running his mouth.the say way he did and pushed Fugbara into the pit

Yes if that is how you want to put so be it.

We dnt want anyone to contest wth Tinubu, yes because we will never hand over Nigeria to obi or atiku he that have ears let him or her hear or........

This is not our brother Gej we pushed aside and brought failure Buhari upon us that ruined everything this is Tinubu from the South no matter how hard Southern demons plus Northern demons try we will never let what happened to Gej repeat itself again in Nigeria history we will rather end democracy completely in Nigeria than to hand over Nigeria to atiku or kwakwaso or obi or el rufai sorry it will never happen its a promise...

Quote me and say whatever sadly it won't change anything...

This is the same Inihebe Effiong admitting that David Mark erred when reality hit him. This is his tweet an hour ago.

Soon reality go soon hit you too and you’ll know ADC is in soup and Tinubu has nothing to do with this.

He didn't say he erred, he said his opinion that it is strange to him...

But it doesn't negate what INEC has done. The problem is not in the judgement but in the interpretation by INEC. The judgement was clear, revert to the situation before hostilities began. The hostilities began on September 2 when Nafiu filed the suit, legendhero, who was ADC Chairman as at Sept 1?

Amupitan must go.

Bro read this:

INEC and the ADC Leadership Dispute: Legal Obligations Under Status Quo Ante Bellum

The genesis of INEC’s position in the ADC leadership dispute traces back to the NEC meeting of 29th July 2025, which produced a new leadership led by David Mark following the purported resignation of the Ralph Nwosu-led executive.

However, Hon. Nafiu Bala Gombe, who denies resigning as Vice National Chairman, approached the Federal High Court Abuja claiming entitlement to the chairmanship. He sought to restrain both the David Mark-led executive and INEC from recognising the new leadership, filing a motion ex parte and a motion on notice for an interlocutory injunction ante bellum.

Rather than granting the ex parte application, His Lordship, Hon. Justice Emeka Nwite rightly ordered that parties be put on notice. However, instead of responding on the merits, the David Mark-led executive filed an appeal challenging that decision, an action that has significantly contributed to the present legal impasse.

In its judgment of 12th March 2026, the Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal of David Mark led executive and made a clear preservatory order:

“Parties are hereby directed to maintain the status quo ante bellum and shall refrain from taking any step or doing any act capable of foisting a fait accompli on the court or otherwise rendering nugatory the proceedings before the trial court.”

This order admits of no ambiguity. Status quo ante bellum means a strict reversion to, and preservation of, the state of affairs as it existed before 2nd September 2025, when the suit was instituted. It is a binding command prohibiting any alteration of the res.

The Supreme Court has settled this position in A.G. Federation v. Abubakar (2007) 10 NWLR (Pt. 1041) 1, holding that parties must not take steps capable of prejudicing pending proceedings or presenting the court with a fait accompli. See also, Kotoye v. CBN (1989) 1 NWLR (Pt. 98) 419 which affirms that such orders are meant to freeze the legal and factual situation pending final determination.

Against this legal backdrop, INEC’s position is not discretionary, it is compelled by law. Faced with conflicting demands from both factions, the Commission is bound by the subsisting order of the court, which imposes a superior legal obligation.

Accordingly, INEC has taken the only lawful course: it has refused to recognise any faction of the ADC, declined to monitor or participate in party activities, and moved to remove names uploaded after the institution of the suit. Any contrary step would amount to a direct violation of a binding judgment of the Court of Appeal and a grave affront to judicial authority.

The law remains trite: no party can, by unilateral action, overreach the court. Until the Federal High Court determines the substantive dispute, any purported leadership outside the pre-dispute structure is a nullity, void, ineffectual, and dead on arrival.

The bright side of tinubu actions is that nobody from sw will come out tomorrow to protest if president from another ethnic group does the same or worse. For those pretending to be democracy activist this has ended their so called career

. You have said it all bro

Let me see anyone from there that will come out and say pim when another president from another tribe takes the mantle

Nope, he did say he erred. See his comment in response to Festus Ogun.

Their legal team erred by doing the wrong thing for their case.
