It is very clear that people really don't like the ruling party. I am certain if an unbiased, straw poll is conducted the popularity will be really low.

Ordinarily this should jolt them into action, positive a action relating to good governance. They should become more conscious and attentive and responsive to the people in the short time left before the general elections.

I did say after the Edo elections that the people of that State had a grand opportunity of not just changing their fortunes but become heros to the greater nation by a protest vote against the government and the ruling party by shunning them. But some folks said politics was local.

So how has the force of local politics helped the standard of living of the average Edolite compared to the might of federal decisions.

If the ruling party had lost all the 'midterm' elections since 2023 I am cocksure that a lot of policy changes the people suffer today will have been checked and a lot of more people friendly decisions will have been made.

As I said I just hope the Feds see this as a heads-up warning and that it stimulates an introspection.

The other danger the society should also be conscious about is that it could also make them double down on underground, anti democratic moves inorder to bypass popular opinion. Nigerians should be vigilant. Those who celebrate now should not think liberty is won just yet.

Flets:
Tinubu and APC are not popular with the masses. They cannot win a free and fair election in today’s Nigeria.

However I would be naive to think Tinubu plans to play fair in 2027 and it will take more than what happened in Osun to kick him out of AsoRock.

Nigerians must demonstrate their readiness to die while protecting their mandates…/ that is the only way these criminals in power can be vacated. It is an uphill task but not impossible

Just because the governor of osun won his second term doesn't mean Tinubu isn't popular. In the last election in Rivers, people voted fubara as well as Tinubu. It doesn't work that way

Bendeco2020:
This is pre season of what will happen in 2027.

Many APC states will lose their seat to oppostions come 2027.

Like which states

Can you just imagine such a shameful scenario? That convoy would have included the Senate President. What an embarrassing video to watch.

A very big shame on APC and its supporters. This is another indication that the citizens are tired of the party. Decent Nigerians have suffered enough since 2015.

People did not vote Tinubu in Rivers state. It is not a Tinubu state. The South South as a whole are not Tinubu’s area.

Parachoko:
Atiku and his boy Peter Obi Will Never Become The President Of Nigeria

Paracetamol you go cry taya. This defeat pain you no be small.

He is not popular on the floor of this country.
Just take that.
What is he popular for....
You just cannot see it, hear it without inducement of one kind or the other aka carrot and stick.

Not saying Adeleke is outrightly popular either.
But on the streets of you strip the screws you will not find many that think they want more of this government.

LagosOrigin, I think you should be more concerned about the abysmal performance of your party. I'm an APC member but I have always wanted Adeleke to return bcoz of his religious liberality.

There are some people who vowed that he would not return bcoz he's not a Muslim. Yes, they said it in some mosques though not the general view of Muslims in the state.

This muric man had said it before. So I'm happy for him also bcoz he's a lifely person.

However, APC put up a very impressive showing and I commend the party.

LagosOrigin please concentrate on your party and let APC be.

LagosOrigin:
Tinubu has been disgraced again

He is not popular anywhere , he failed in Lagos to Peter Obi in 2023 and failed to adeleke even as a president.

Tinubu is not popular, he has zero influence . Na money dey help am

Apart from high cost of living which is global, President Tinubu has performed more than any previous govts in health,infrastructures that drive growth,development and HDI;social welfare, education etc.
Why will any sane Nigerian not vote for him.

Let me correct you. Politicians don't reason the same way you reason.

There's no shame there. You win some you lose some and they know that. What about the elections APC had won before now? Is there any party that is good enough to win everything? Don't forget that Gov Adeleke is for Tinubu. So don't cut your head to spite your nose bcoz of politicians.

lol , someone that didn't campaign in Osun because he had an agreement with Adeleke .

Why are they not stoning them as they pass.They are too gentle

The records show he is the worst president since the creation of nigeria ..go and verify
The defeat in osun is so painful. No 30k for data boys the month. Then new job is to claim that baron supported adeleke....lol
Who sent 27 apc governors to osun who didn't even consider going to great the governor as Mark of respect

LagosOrigin:
Osun people collected APC money and vote for Adeleke of Accord party

We will do the same thing in 2027 presidential election

How about the money adeleke shared? Election has been won and lost and the looser is already congratulating the victor......you are rather here still heaping hot coal on your head.

One very good thing about this Osun election is that Osun people had given us the template of how tinubu and his evil forces can be defeated in 2027.

MEGAWATCH:
Sincerely speaking I am very proud of Osun people.

This is what it' means by the people have spoken.

This was what Kano people did when APC tried to rig the last election. You have to protect your votes upto the collation center, that's where the magic happens.

Conducting a credible elections?
after his party ordered the killing of accord party members, beating and arresting opposition party leaders and you call that credible, you are deceiving yourself, he and his party were unscrupulously defeated. that was what happened, this will replicate in 2027.😊

BigYash:
