I Declined the Ibadan “Opposition Summit” Nigerians Deserve a Genuine Alternative, Not Recycled Failure

I was invited to attend the so-called “Opposition Summit” in Ibadan, but I declined.

There is no need to pretend that the same men (and a few women) who held Nigeria to ransom for years, presiding over stagnation, corruption, and systemic decay, can suddenly reinvent themselves as champions of progress or defenders of the people.

Not all Nigerians are suffering from amnesia.

.... Sowore
APC National Secretary mocks Atiku for sleeping at Ibadan summit

The National Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Ajibola Basiru, has mocked former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over a photo showing him apparently asleep during the opposition summit held in Ibadan, Oyo State.

Reacting to the development, Basiru took to his X handle to share a photo of Atiku appearing to be asleep during the event.

The APC chieftain accompanied the post with a caption that read, “And the opposition leader slept at the all-important opposition summit.

Tinubu did it first. Both locally and internationally. We also have pictures of him greeting the floor, both at Eagle Square and in Turkey.

But how do grown men come to functions and be sleeping? If you are bored or feeling sleepy in an event, you excuse yourself and take a walk. Return to your seat later and stay active.

Am I the only Nigerian who knows the antidote for preventing this kind of embarrassment?

No he was not praying. He was doing exactly what tinubu was doing at almost every meeting before election and won

Atiku abubakar is fighting to win the same way

Lol. So true. Only question in Atiku's mind is "when am I getting the keys to Aso Rock? "

That's against protocol walking around trying to shake sleep off...


It's not some boy scout function. It takes discipline. I even don't know how they do it that these politicians don't get up to use the privates once sitted in meetings for hours.


And most times these guys are tired from one meeting to another. When nature comes knocking they is very little they can do in such situations.



I remember traveling from lagos to Zaria One time. I didn't have time to rest before my host who was a dir hard Madrid fan scurried me off to an El classico game going on in a viewing center. Tried hard as could I couldn't prevent my eyes from closing and slept through the match.... hahaha 🙈

Even when the guy nudged me I would open my eyes for a few minutes and fall back asleep.

Inspite of that kind of environment and crowd I couldn't control myself. The guy used to tease me about it for a long time after the match. But he understood that that week was very tiring for me as I was shuttling from city to city with little rest.


I imagine how politicians cope with their busy and tight schedules.


Back to topic I don't know if this is a red flag for atiku... maybe I'm biased because atiku is my horse among the front line candidates despite his shortcomings.



Also sowore has been consistent with his brand of politics which is different. He isn't afraid to stand alone. And most times he is right with what he says.





These are just a bunch of old recycled politicians with little or nothing to offer but most Nigerians suffer from chronic amnesia!

Sowore is a trojan used to attack and destroy the momentum and reputation of opposition.

These old men should just go and rest. To rule Nigeria no be by force. They'd only be busy attending to their ill health, traveling overseas always, backed by massive local Healthcare support with less attention to the core national issues. Buhari and tinubu are good examples. To attend and commiserate with ordinary plateau boko haram victims became an issue. He cant even trek for up to 10 minutes. There was more to his few minutes stay within the airport in jos than meets the eye. A lot is better not said in the media.

These men should vacate the space for goodness sake. Nigeria isn't moving forward. Their era is long gone

Reputation of the gathering of crooks.

Sowore rejected the Ibadan Opposition Summit, saying Nigerians deserve real change, not the same old politicians repackaged as progressives.

Atiku is 79 years so he tried. The stress of travelling long distances with flight is not easy. Even me that is far younger than him I do dose off sometimes in occasions after travelling long distances.

Just 15 mins of light sleep is enough to refresh your body in such situation.

How old are you? How do you expect a high profile dignitary to stand up and just be walking around in the name of fighting sleep? Such people won't do that for security reasons!! It's like Tinubu excusing himself and be walking around because he feels sleepy! Won't that be weird even to you? grin
Re: Picture Of Atiku Sleeping At Ibadan Summit: APC, Sowore React by DLSReigns(m): 6:57pm On Apr 26
Wow, I trust they first rushed to check Obi. Only to be disappointed. Then they fall back on Atiku then caught him napping. Well, we all know who else also sleep in every occasion. So data boys should look inward for the answer. 😂
