What Wike did last elections was to use APC members as LP agents.
He provided fake LP agent cards for them

When the real LP agents came , they told them that there was already an LP agent.
All lies and fake

These actions made it easy for him to falsify results in favor of Tinubu.
I laugh when people call Wike strong man . A criminal like him

It won't still stop inec from rigging they hold the knife and the bread they can easily dispute ndc tabulated figures.

All that is inconsequential if the writer fails to be concise. Your write up while expressing valid points reads more like AI generated output than something a human wrote with precision. Words can be interpreted many ways if the writer does not intentionally provide context and clues to aide the reader!

AMINDA:
The jokes write themselves. Abuja has never been dirtier in all its years of existence. It is practically becoming Lagos in terms of filth. All green areas have been sold out to cronies making the city prone to heat and unprecedented flooding. Still no public transportation system while the substandard bus parks built with billions in the middle of nowhere remains under lock and key. Wike is very far from being the best FCT Minister and your opinion that he is will be conditional as long as he remains "loyal" to your tin-god. You will abruptly make an about-turn if he were to fallout with the president today. Professional shape-shifting is one hell of a drug.

ijayalolo:
You are just everywhere without actually arriving at your point. So what exactly are you suggestng? we should try NDC's style?


Thank you for your attention to this matter

jamafa:
How would that work??

Can they upload or update the outcome or results to favour themselves??

Arewa people don't travel too much to settle outside Nigeria. So Arewa oppose Diaspora Nigerians vote.
The so-called southern political leaders sit akimbo and watch millions of their people disenfranchised.

Why are you complaining about what happened to Desmond "idiot" , sorry Elliot, was that not the same way he got the position he held for 12 years? I don't pity anyone of them or listen to their cry of being intimidated because people were beating and dehumanised during state house of rep. election in surulere . The election the returned Desmond to the house for the third time was full of irregularities throat were known to Desmond himself, but because he had backing of his godfathers, he pretended as if all is well but now that his godfathers have left him to support another candidate, he's now crying foul. He should shut his mouth and lick his wound quietly or he gets into a big trouble with power that can submerge him in pool of affliction he would not be about to get out of forever. I stay in surulere ( ogunlana drive to be precise) although I don't have a voter's card and I don't intend to have anytime in future because I don't trust any of the politicians or their parties, I follow surulere politics very well.

jaxxy:
Look at ALL the people who so called fought and won under labour party in the last elections who did they represnt apart from the bellies? Many candidates are hand picked or given support during the primaries to boost their chances and that doesnt make it bad, what is most important is the character and competence of the person u are presenting or backing.

All Labour fighting for u candidate have fought for their bellies and joined apc.

If a Godfather hand picks a credible candidate i will support it fully. Thats how we got fashola who is still the best governor of lagos sofar.

SixSeven:
That guy may be buying time to strike at the right time where it will hit them the most. Godfatherism is not new, we have seen it happen everytime. In Enugu, Nnamani; in Rivers, Odili/Amaechi; in Borno, Ali Modu Sherrif/Shettima; in Kaduna, El-Rufai; in Edo, Igbinedion; in Oyo, Adedibu, IN Kwara, Saraki. If Saraki's own child could sack him, there is no loyalty you are looking for. Every man in power wants to be his own man.
Fubara has nothing to lose so he can keep behaving like mumu to them. That's why they are afraid of betrayal. Imagine this weakling then having might like Ambode developed might towards the election and challenged his master. That is why they also want to impeach him because they need to be sure who's on their side. Look how they accused Sanwoolu of working with Atiku because Obi defeated his Godfather and he had to prove loyalty.

Democracy is a scam if one country can decide how crazy another's democracy is crazy. Demonstration of craze...

This is why it will not work in Africa because it's crazy how the demo works here. The rulers have figured out how to manipulate the system to benefit them without direct responsibility.

In 1999 - 2003, the Executive did not like the Legislature and orchestrated the removal of the Senate and Reps different times. However you must be aware that the leaders of those houses were not 100% clean. Do you remember Salisu and Toronto Certificate? Within four years, the Senate alone had three presidents. Salisu Buhari’s removal over the Toronto certificate scandal was justified on ethical grounds, but the speed and coordination of the process revealed something deeper, the executive influence was never far away. Evan Enwerem and later Chuba Okadigbo fell amid allegations of misconduct, yet the pattern suggested that leadership crises were being managed politically, not institutionally. Accountability was selective, reactive, and often convenient for the power brokers. Nigeria began its democratic process on a faulty foundation. The Governors will learn after the 2003 tsunami by the PDP how to grab it in the next paragraph.


In 2003–07, the major issue of this tenure was the attempt tamper with constitutional limits through political pressure. Even though Obasanjo denies it today, there is enough documentation on how the third-term agenda was not just about tenure elongation but it was a stress test of whether constitutional rules could withstand executive might. The Legislature was flooded with inducements and intimidation. That the amendment failed remains significant, but equally significant is how close it came to succeeding. Democracy survived this phase by a narrow margin, not by institutional strength but thank God it survived. Credit to Sen Ken Nnamani.


In 2007–11, this tenure combined electoral legitimacy collapse, legislative scandal, and executive weakness. The 2007 elections severely damaged democratic credibility, yet governance proceeded without correction. Yar Adua's attempt to correct the anomaly of an election succeeded a bit when he set up an electoral panel to review our electoral system. Inside the Legislature, the Patricia Etteh crisis and later the Dimeji Bankole era exposed how leadership of the House became entangled with patronage and post-tenure criminalisation. The defining rupture, however, was Yar’Adua’s illness and death. The secrecy surrounding presidential incapacity paralysed governance and exposed a constitutional vacuum. The “Doctrine of Necessity” that elevated the Vice President was a timely fix but it also confirmed that Nigeria’s democracy often survives by improvisation rather than adherence to clear rules. Thank you Dora Akunyili and we can't forget the role of Mr Aondoaka and those who claimed that the President could rule from anywhere in the world. A pattern that will be repeated later under Buhari and now, Tinubu. This period was where the Governors started learning to cut their teeth. They became more influential in Nigerian politics. The Governors' Forum was influencing national politics. This was the period of one party state by PDP that made Ogbulafor boast that PDP will rule for 60 years. Obasanjo had taught the Governors lessons but Yar Adua and Jonathan's scholarly approach to democracy may have cost us a lesson on tight fisted executive.

In 2011–15, the main issue of this period was oversight without enforcement. The National Assembly appeared assertive, especially during the fuel subsidy probe, which revealed massive corruption. Yet the failure to secure decisive prosecutions weakened public trust. You must remember that Farouk Lawan was recently forgiven in the Tinubu's presidential pardon list but what he did at that time was a symbol of the corruption at the top. At the same time, electoral reforms under Attahiru Jega restored some credibility to elections, creating a contrast between improving electoral process and stagnant governance accountability. Democracy looked better at the ballot box than in outcomes. Change became possible but the Governors played a major role in redesigning how party politics was. The party was no longer the class captain, each Governor was now taking hold of the party structure at each state.

In 2015–19, this tenure was dominated by open institutional confrontation. Bukola Saraki’s emergence as Senate President against party and executive preference triggered years of conflict. His trial at the Code of Conduct Tribunal placed the Judiciary squarely within political struggle. Simultaneously, the Executive openly disobeyed court orders in security-related cases, signalling impatience with judicial restraint. This was not just an executive–legislative problem, it was a systemic breakdown of respect among arms of government because APC was in power, so yih can't blame the opposition. Power was increasingly exercised as moral authority rather than constitutional obligation.
The first attack on the judicial system began here with the Onnoghen trial by the Buhari government. The death of the media also started during this time. APC, which had oiled the machinery of the media to their advantage could not let the same machine take them out. They came out hard on critical thinking and through the Minister of Information, the Press review started here.


In 2019–23, the tenure was defined by the open surrender of legislative independence. Unlike earlier Assemblies that at least struggled with the Executive, this one publicly embraced alignment as a governing principle. Legislative leaders openly described the National Assembly as a “partner” rather than a check. Oversight weakened noticeably. Budgets were passed with little resistance, confirmations sailed through, and major policy questions rarely produced institutional pushback. The loss of teeth was not accidental. Senate President Ahmed Lawan repeatedly framed the National Assembly as a “partner” of the Executive rather than a check on it. In public statements, he emphasized working “in harmony” with the presidency to pass legislation and implement national policies, warning against “unnecessary grandstanding” that could delay governance. Oversight weakened - bills, budgets, and ministerial confirmations proceeded with minimal scrutiny. A prominent example was Godswill Akpabio’s smooth confirmation as Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, which drew little interrogation despite prior controversies. Please off your mic. Committees that would normally probe ministers or government contracts rarely escalated findings, signaling a tacit decision that cooperation, not confrontation, was the guiding principle. The loss of teeth was not accidental, it was openly acknowledged, marking a clear departure from Assemblies that had previously struggled even contentiously to assert themselves.
Democracy during this period functioned procedurally but hollowly, with elections and legislative processes intact but scrutiny and accountability diminished.

From 2023–present, the current 10th National Assembly has intensified this pattern. It had easily won the worst National Assembly even before concluding its tenure. Senate and House leaders, including Akpabio, have publicly reinforced the idea that lawmakers are not elected “to fight the Executive” but to collaborate on national priorities. Akpabio stressed that legislators should support executive-led bills that serve the nation, even if critics label this a “rubber-stamp” legislature. Committees continue to exist, but oversight has become largely symbolic. Critical national issues, security challenges, rising inflation, and controversial economic policies see limited legislative pushback. What stands out is not conflict but its absence, making it clear that the Legislature now prioritizes alignment and on a mandate they wish to stand on with the executive over independent scrutiny. In practical terms, the National Assembly functions, but as a facilitator of executive priorities rather than a co-equal branch ensuring accountability. This Assembly has trashed any respect whatsoever you may have for the Legislature. Publicly singing on your mandate they shall stand, trying to praise the President's work and laughing over serious issues that affect Nigerians or completely ignoring them have made them weaker than the whisker of a cat.

Looking at Nigeria’s National Assembly from 1999 to today, a clear pattern stands out. Each four-year tenure faced big challenges, but the Legislature often let itself be shaped by politicians and party leaders instead of standing up to protect the people’s interests. The 10th Assembly shows this clearly. Leaders openly put the President’s wishes above their constitutional duty. They approve bills and budgets without asking tough questions. Committees that should investigate government programs barely do their work. By choosing to cooperate instead of check power, the Legislature has weakened democracy from within. At the same time, the Judiciary has often compromised, bending under pressure or choosing caution, which has limited its ability to fully check government power. Go to court!!!


This problem is not unique to Nigeria. In countries like Venezuela, democracy exists on paper but is erased by politicians who manipulate institutions for their own gain. We can see the same pattern here. But pointing out these failures does not give outsiders the right to lecture Venuezela. Even strong democracies like the United States struggle with their own political crises and institutional problems. True democracy only works when the people and their own institutions hold power accountable. No one else can do it for us.

akpumping7720:
You are entitled to your opinion. Baba sope will never end in Nigeiria politics. Just as Obi dragged Ojukwu to come and campaign for him for his second tenure because he knew then that people will not vote for him because of his abysmal performance. Politicians need influential and old players to win primaries.

b'ile ba n toro, omo ale be o ti dagba ni. It means, a peaceful home is a function of the inability of the bastard to act owing to age.

Millions of Nigeria Diaspora votes would have been more transparent than votes cast in Nigeria.

Why would some section of Nigeria continue to refuse Diaspora Nigerians to vote while the Akpabios in the Senate watch?

Didn't they say he is a democrat? A builder of men? A visionary? That man is just a greedy old man. Who was it that said if you let Tinubu in, he will grab more than he can take? Think about being a landlord of Lagos and Rivers 🤡

The greedy can never be satisfied. What they condemned when they were in opposition, now they are doing it.

Those who wanted to rewrite his story just made me chuckle. Guy didn't want Fashola serve a second term simply because he wanted to be President. He didn't want anyone to have a record to be compared to him or outshine him. They are just lucky Fashola did not show craze like Ambode did, someone they eventually sent away under the guise of GAC. They now claimed that he made Fashola, he built Lagos, Ambode did not follow master plan. You see how their stories are not consistent. They then called Osinbajo a betrayer. These ones are lords and serfs. Those who refuse to learn history are doomed to repeat it

They should even pity the fasting Muslims and Christians and allow them vote from their phones. After all, the same people can vote Big Brother and there is no transmission error. When it is bad things, they will be giving us examples of bad things in USA, showing us Elon Musk videos. When it's good things we can copy from USA, they hide. USA that does not have voter registration or PVC card for every voter, the system sends it to your address because of government data, they skip the process and want to put a wool over our eyes.

The US election has been compromised because there is no registration or accreditation.Nigeria has voter ID, America does not have. We used those because of fraud after seeing Mike Tyson voting in previous elections. We should be leading and the world should be copying us but they want us to remain in level Zero for long 🤡

Nigeria will close its borders, close work just to count numbers. Something that should not be so in 21st century if not for fraud and manipulation magomago dem wan do. It's a big shame that adults cannot count numbers Na professor go de count numbers. Agbaya people. Simple thing, dem turn am to billions. Big disgrace.

And to the person I mentioned above, if you really don't see anything bad with people selling what they bought for ₦250 for ₦5000, you may really have a problem.

It's not classism.
It's exploitation because people like you like the more costlier it becomes, the more likely a certain class of people will patronise. Then why blame your politicians for not rating you?

Gotocourt:
NDC will have a strong outing in Adamawa.

THE SIGNS OF GASLIGHTING

Gaslighting is a form of manipulation and abuse concentrated on making someone doubt reality.

Blatant lying or constant coverups.

Actions contradict words. Broken promises.

Feeling like you have to defend reality.

Your self- esteem slowly erodes away & you begin to question what is real. You start to think you are bad or crazy.

Denying conversations or events ever happened.

Manipulating others to see you differently.

Public perception is over rated. Any leader - from a boys scout leader to a corporate CEO understands thst trying to address perception is a race to the bottom. Especially when you are 100% convinced.

What people want is results.

SixSeven:
I wrote in my comment that there will be a surprise in 2027 that the parties have not planned for. INEC will be the referee but the people will be the VAR. The Morocco vs Senegal referee already saw a sample of where Refs can be checked. The situation room of everyone will make it difficult for anyone to tamper with results. What APC did in 2023 was the Expo they gave the people.
