[quote author=SixSeven post=138112094]Repost 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. DORA AKUNYILI'S EXPLOSIVE MESSAGE TO YAR'ADUA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47UulCINeuo 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. AUDIO: The $3 million conversation between Farouk Lawan and Femi Otedola - Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUnWDgEMDa8 $3million bribery: Farouk Lawan request removal of Otedola's company from fuel subsidy report https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7gzT5vd0vE 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. ©️ SixSeven https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qL6QgwDREmo [/quote |
This man has no t really changed from his time as PDP Governor. 2015 Elections Is About 'Darkness' And 'Light' - Akpabio Blasts APC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-iIYCYGTgY I had no hope in APC fake progressiveness but I won't forgive them for the joke they made out of the Senate in Lawan and Akpabio. Those 2 SPs took the Senate down a road you don't want to visit anymore but we all know why they chose them. Compared to Saraki, they wanted yes men and they got yes men. Buhari got away with whatever he wanted and maybe they had a deal with Lawan that's why in the midst of his disastrous Presidency, he still had the effrontery to back Lawan for President. Now Akpabio is spokesman to the President and yes man. No resistance. No checks. No balance. APC.

Subhuti, I remember that in the past, countless eons ago, before the time of Dipamkara Buddha, I met and made offerings to eighty-four thousand billion nayutas of Buddhas, serving them all faithfully without a single omission. Yet, if someone in the future degenerate age can receive, retain, read, and recite this sutra, the merit they obtain will be so great that the merit from my offerings to all those Buddhas cannot match even a hundredth part of it. Indeed, it cannot be matched by a thousand-billionth part, nor can it be calculated by any math or illustration. Subhuti, if a good man or good woman in the future degenerate age receives, retains, reads, and recites this sutra, and if I were to describe their full merits completely, those who hear it might become mentally confused, deeply skeptical, and disbelieving.

tishbite41:I just updated my comments 👆 but I predicted you were going to say the 2007 was flawed. Makarfi's role as Kaduna Governor (the State Buhari lived in) and protecting Yar'Adua's image by PDP in Katsina could not make him sweep it. Till date, INEC does not have the full results for that election, Obasanjo's gift to democracy Don't forget PDP and Obasanjo made that election a do or die. We only have some figures and the total. What a sham! |
tishbite41:He didn't win it against Yar'Adua in 2007. Musa won Katsina state. In 2003, 2011, and 2019, Buhari won huge votes in the Kkk states under the ANPP, CPC and APC respectively. However, because those parties lacked a national footprint in 2003-11, his millions of northern votes were isolated and politically neutralized by the ruling PDP's sweeps in the South. In 2011, Goodluck Jonathan defeated Buhari because massive voter turnout in the South-South and South-East easily cancelled out Buhari's northern advantages. In 2015, as the candidate for the newly unified All Progressives Congress (APC), his wins in Kano, Katsina, and Kaduna were successfully linked with a southwestern coalition, turning a regional stronghold into a national majority. Turnout collapsed in Jonathan's strongholds, while Kano, Katsina, and Kaduna gave historic voter turnouts. That's why the KKK of 2015 was different from other KKK wins, including 2019 when he was already President. |

Kwankwaso has not been able to enter into the South and the OK ticket is to his own advantage than Obi. If Obi loses, Kwankwaso would have made his inroad to the South against 2031. I posted this yesterday, Atiku gave Obi the opportunity to ride on his own by letting pride get the best of him 👇 SixSeven: |
Another repost from old Aside Obi and Kwankwanso, no other politician has been able to prove themselves ALONE outside the establishment. Repost👇 Obi has the brightest chance going by the last election result followed by Kwankwanso. I choose these two because they left PDP and did not have the structure of the regular party, which Atiku benefitted from using the PDP platform. You also have to look at the time they had to test themselves between the election primaries and election. If you want to know what that means, Ribadu ran the Presidential election in 2011 under AC and failed with that party structure. Obi and Kwankwanso have been able to test their popularity as candidates outside the regular establishments and done well. Both had no Governors in their party before contesting and pulled a good number in the last election. Buhari used his CPC to bargain with AC to get the Presidential slot in APC. Buhari could say whether he used ANPP or CPC, he could gather votes. I'm not so sure Atiku can do that. He was a presidential candidate of the Action Congress in the 2007 presidential election coming in third to Umaru Yar'Adua of the PDP and Muhammadu Buhari of the ANPP. Atiku came a distant third in that election with less than 10% of the votes. Obi and Saraki/Kwankwanso A Saraki will be a difficult campaign for APC that has defaulted to using tribes against themselves. Saraki ticks two boxes of Yoruba/North Central who have been looking for relevance since Gowon. Here is the stats of the declared winners since 1999. Mr Bola Ahmed tinubu was not a popular president elect Here is the brief, factual list of Nigeria’s presidential election winners since 1999, including each winner’s name and the percentage of valid votes they received. 1999 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 62.78% of valid votes. 2003 – Olusegun Obasanjo: about 61.94% of valid votes. 2007 – Umaru Musa Yar’Adua: about 69.60% of valid votes. 2011 – Goodluck Jonathan: about 58.87% of valid votes. 2015 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 53.96% of valid votes. 2019 – Muhammadu Buhari: about 55.60% of valid votes. 2023 – Bola Ahmed tinubu: about 36.6–37% of valid votes. A United opposition will defeat tinubu before the election begins. With a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiide margin. There is no need to argue about that. |
I posted this last year 👇 Kwankwanso seems to have an overestimated sense of his worth. I wrote this some days ago. Repost 2👇 Rayzoom:You have a good point. I remember back then what he said about being a VP to Obi 2023 Presidency: Why I Cannot Be Running Mate To Peter Obi – Kwankwaso https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bu_cLgo-FbY Kwankwanso did prove to be a bit arrogant and that interview confirmed it for me. He overestimated his popularity and now all of them can negotiate based on data ![]() Fact: Tinubu remains the most unpopular president to have won the Presidential elections. He is the easiest to kick out. Back then, PDP told AC, CPC and opposition parties when they were reigning that to kick us out, you need to unite as opposition. That's what they learned in 2015. |
Refinedbeing:The president is the GCFR. His NSA is simply doing the coordination of security issues for him. Internal or external. There's a reason Rubio met with Ribadu. We modeled this after the US and they do both internal and external security and intelligence. The President does not have time to have security threats to be told to him in different buckets. That is the job of the NSA. Gwarzo was Abacha's NSA on paper but he used Mustapha more because of his style to confuse his enemies and put fear in everyone. Ribadu's role right now is a trusted role for foreign threats. They did not mix anything up. He coordinates all security intelligence for the President and advises him on it. |
Gotocourt:You mix politics with security and we are gone. Ribadu was once a Presidential candidate and still a hopeful presidential candidate. They could have found another position to give him but once he is distracted, what he does is strategic positioning and that's not good for the country overall. It's been 3 years now, has the Police improved? Has EFCC improved? A NSA who worked in both places would have made sure that by now the 2009 mistake Yar Adua made is reversed. Boko started from the actions of police killing Yusuf sect but in this country we don't learn, we just keep patching updates. That is why I continue to call it National Security Advertisments. Look at the posters they put on him, whoever is advising him is not doing him any good. NSA advertising what he does like a politician? This propaganda method don cast. They should give him a post that allows him to achieve his political ambition than NSA.

MosakuAW:Maybe it's to check the activities of the NSA during the election because they all don't trust themselves as we play too much in this country. Expect more to come for the National Security Advertisments. |

Nigeria has got to an all time low. He doesn't need to tell Nigerians anything. In fact, all he needs to say again is say what made him lose back then and he will win: "My political ambition is not worth the blood of any single Nigerian." "I know I am recontesting, but don't rig the elections for me to win". Ask me why? APC came in through propaganda. Their all time low is where they have reduced the presidency to a level where presidents don't attend debates anymore. Buhari sent Osinbajo to be debating in 2019 against Atiku's Obi. In 2023, Tinubu talked about teamship and townhall and said emilokan. So what are Nigerians actually voting for? 2015 Buhari was shielded from debates. They gave him the stage in their rallies to read prepared speeches. Buhari Reels Out Major Pledges To Fulfill If Elected President https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Bd71UMEYJ0 2019 Atiku snubbed the debate because those he considered his peers were not there. Looking back, this could have been his mistake because he let Obi talk about what they wanted to do but he gave Obi the stage during this campaign due to his pride and this was the last time Obi contested as VP. Maybe if Atiku had taken the time to represent himself and ignore his competitors, this would have made him maintain his momentum. It was after this election they started calling Atiku Dubai Landlord that only comes back after 4 years. Obi took the opportunity from here to build. Osinbajo also tried but his boss was torn between publicly endorsing him, Lawan and Tinubu based on agreement. One of the problems Atiku has is not coming down from his high horse as VP. He still lives in that bubble of bigmanism but between 2007 and 2027, new set of voters have joined that don't care. He still thinks the demography of his voting base is the same as the 90s. Debate: Atiku Gives Reason For Absence, Challenges Buhari 19/01/19 Pt.1 |News@10| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSkllbOCy_A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJecbbB4w0c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auJQJUqWMWk 2023 They canceled the debate since Tinubu refused to participate and the others did not see the sense in it. At Chatham House, Tinubu appointed Alake, El-Rufai, Fayemi and others to speak for him in his teamship. He later went to his own organized townhall to bala blue. 2023: ‘I Will Serve You, Serve Nigeria’, Tinubu Promises If Elected |Extended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_4uMhNbSoE Rufai, these men don't believe in accountability. They believe in grabbing it, snatching it and running away with it. They believe the war chest they have will do the work for them and there is no need to explain anything to Nigerians. This is why Jonathan can win without defending anything. Just know that since APC came to power at the center, debates are a thing of the past. They want lords, consensus and party choice. This is why I will not support Atiku, though he is better in talking to us than Tinubu but he too has that mindset that Tinubu has. They don't owe you any explanation, they believe they are above ground so if Atiku becomes president, the sycophants will raise the power of closing his ears and telling him he is the best thing after fura de nunu to power 5, 5 representing the number of times he had contested for presidency and lost. You will even think Tinubu's propaganda team were nice. Most of these septuagenarians are only going to settle old scores if they get there. It has happened with Buhari, Tinubu has done the same as you can see right from the campaign of Abiola's Hope 93 to become Renewed Hope to National Anthem, June 12 etc. They are fixated on the past.
