Good luck trying to get Akpabio and others to work against Tinubu their master. The 10th Assembly under the leadership of Akpabio is gone, it is not nothing else but Tinubu's lap dog.

Good2go1:
That is we most push for electoral reform to accommodate live transmission of electoral results

I am not an opposition as I do not believe that the current political arrangement will benefit Nigerians. Let me ask you, do you believe that Tinubu won 2023 presidential election or was aided by INEC and judiciary?

helinues:
Early consolation.

How comes it's the opposition who are insinuating on election would be rigged in 2027 while Apc is busy receiving people defecting to the party or showing allegiance to president Tinubu even if they are not defecting.

There is no outer space and there is no asteroids. What we have is 3D animations done to deceive people. Whatever that they claim will hit earth won't be an "asteroid"

I am only pointing out the truth without any financial inducement. Yes, evil empires eventually fall but that doesn't mean that Nigerians should perish with it, it doesn't mean that Nigerians should continue to participate in flawed elections every 4 years that won't benefit them. You may not want to admit it publicly but I am certain you agree that a total restructuring/devolution of political/economic powers that will empower each region to control it's resources and political landscape will go a long way towards fostering peace and developing the country.

You're just doing what you are being paid to. You think people aren't wise now? Eh no shock you that youths became interested fully in the last election?
For your information empires eventually fall.
If you like go and discourage the youths in the public and see how they will react.

The civil war was not as a result of restructuring or devolution of power but secession. I don't think that a break up of the country will offer any realistic solution. I strongly believe that it will be better if majority of Nigerians instead of waiting for 2027 election, they should start now to make the demand for a constitutional amendment that will ensure a total devolution of powers to regions/states. Nigerians will be better off if this is achieved.

The last time that was tried, millions died as a civil war!
Nigeria has moved on from that phase
We rather accept reality and overwhelm the crooked system
Any other thing will result to civil crises and will degenerate into tribal and regional lines

The problem is not about Nigerians turning out to vote, it is mainly about the totally compromised INEC and subdued judiciary.... You know fully well that for any opposition candidate to stop Tinubu after the cooked up INEC results are announced, he/she must prove beyond reasonable doubt how the election was rigged in favour in Tinubu. To be honest, I believe you know that only INEC can truly prove this as long as Nigerian election is concerned. The only way that Tinubu will lose in 2027 is for him to be disqualified as a candidate before the election.

You said "No one believed PdP could be removed in 2015...." Tinubu is not Jonathan. He and his party APC will never concede defeat easily in any election. There is no basis for comparison between Jonathan and Tinubu.

So yes APC can be removed as well
It only takes every hands on deck and we can do that with more campaign and enlightenment
A lot of locals who's votes are even the most useful are politically ignorant of their choices
We can help ourselves more by educating the next voter
We can't risk another civil unrest
Violence is not always the way out

This was how Nigerians underestimated Tinubu in 2023 over the Muslim/Muslim ticket.... He already knows that he can't win in a fair election but just like 2023, you need to know that APC does not intend to win the election the conventional way. They have already set their plan in motion. Tinubu will win the 2027 presidential election as long as he controls the INEC and continues to exercise domineering influence over the judiciary.

Ddeliverer007:
The purpose of the coalition is to make rigging as tight as possible. Don’t you know there is a way the defeat will be too overwhelming, you can’t rig it? lol.

Can tinubu rig in the east? Can he rig in the south?can he rig in the middle belt? Right now, he can’t even rig in the north anymore.
So where he wan rig? Only Yoruba Muslims? lol. Make we watch sha.

What difference did your vote make in 2023....? This is 2025 and Nigeria's situation is getting worse.... Since you still believe that voting in 2027 will make a difference, I am interested in knowing what you will do when Tinubu is announced as the winner in 2027. Will the opposition go to court again to challenge Tinubu's INEC?

It's only a very wicked person that loves their oppressors that will say Nigerians should forget 2027.
After they will benefit from supporting evil, they then will Japa to civilized countries leaving the common masses behind.

Why continue to do the same thing and expect a different result, which deep down you know won't work. Is it not foolishness to participate in an election that you know the desperate crooked government will use all it's powers to ensure your votes don't count. Elections that will always push the North vs South "power rotation" gambit and promote other none progressive sentiments among Nigerians while those in power continue to loot our common wealth.

Since 1999, what have Nigerians truly benefitted from this Abuja based cosmetic democratic arrangement that only empowers a few against the majority? I came to the realization long ago that the main problem with Nigeria is a foundational one. We are practicing a system of government that can't work for the majority. If you are sincere, you will see that I didn't criticize but offered a solution in the post I made earlier.

kmst:
So what should Nigerians do?
Why are you wasting your time writing long epistles on it then?
Allow others vote if you won't keep shut!
What is your problem with people that want elections? Is it by force?
Some of you keep criticizing without offering any answers to any problem
Nigeria has a problem but more Nigerians are realizing and one day a popular vote will change the narrative for good and 2027 is no exception!
If you choose to believe otherwise then keep that for yourself and your family nobody needs the lame advise of sitting down and doing nothing

Not just weapons but also free access to natural resources. I do believe that it is easier to restructure than break up the country. Nigerians will not get a fair election in 2027.... The APC evil government can't be removed through the ballot as all institutions including the judiciary have been subdued by Tinubu. A national reset through total restructuring/devolution of political/economic powers is a more realistic outcome which will foster equity and allow each region to develop faster.

grandsuccess:
The only solution to this evul contraption is BREAK IT TO PIECES NOW LET EVERY MAN ANSWER HIS PAPA NAME!

Those that agree to form a nation together can go ahead and do so. those that want to be for themselves alone can go ahead.

BUT IF PEACEFUL BREAK UP IS NOT INITIATED NOW, AND IT DEGENERATE INTO WAR, IT WILL TAKE 50 YEARS TO BROKER PEACE AMONG THE NUMEROUS DEADLY FACTIONS THAT WILL ARISE.

And i think that's what the west are looking forward to. huge sales in weapons and munitions in addition to huge depopulation.

It's painful looking back and knowing that a lot of what is happening now could've been avoided. I hope it won't take another 50 years before many Nigerians come to the realization that the country can't make any meaningful progress without a total reset.

lazkizz:
Seriously hate this country

Nothing heroine about the past leaders or people. If our forefathers are that good, we will never be in this situation we are today. They're in best position to lay down a good foundation for us like reknown scholars in Europe, America and Asia, but failed. The few ones left are wicked than the youths. It disgust me anytime elderly person open their mouths to talk about their days.

If you want to know why our society became so useless today, go and deal with the so called elders and see first hands corruption and wickedness in them. Infact, this generation are far more emphatic, tolerance, and have foresight than the so called elders. sad

I will keep this short and straight to the point.

If anyone thinks that APC will be defeated through the ballot in 2027 that person is dreaming and not telling himself the truth. If anyone wants to be honest, you should know already that INEC as an "independent" electoral body won't and can't organize a fair election under this crooked government. Tinubu and the ruling party APC have already selected the next INEC chairman (currently in the cooler) who is actively been prepped on the rigging agenda for 2027. Nigerians will be making another mistake that will cost them another 4 years if they think that they can vote out Tinubu, if they fail to acknowledge the simple truth that Tinubu, APC has no integrity and will never play fair, he simply can't give what he doesn't have. He and his party knows that a free and fair election in 2027 will only guarantee the removal of his government.

The nonsense talk being peddled by some opposition voices about rotational government between North and South in the Atiku/Obi coalition camp is yet another distraction, a waste of time that will only exacerbate current political crisis going on within the opposition political parties that will only benefit the ruling APC party. Nigerians may be able to vote out the government if there are electoral reforms put in place to weaken the powers of the president over INEC but you all should know by now that current National Assembly under the leadership of Akpabio has already been pocketed by Tinubu and won't support any electoral reforms that will not favour him. The only way out for Nigerians is to forget about 2027 election and fight now for the devolution of political/economic powers from the center to regions/states.

Sadly, 2027 election will be another painful reminder that Nigeria can't work and won't work for the benefit of the people without a total restructuring of it's political landscape, a total decentralization of power to regions/states.

@MaziObinnokija not sure if what you posted as a comment is supposed to mean anything....

MaziObinnaokija:
..

Nonsense! Ford foundation was founded by Edsel Ford who is a different person from Gerald Ford the 38th president of the United States. Even if President Ford did what was written in the PDF document you shared, how does it link Ford foundation to CIA? This is just another cheap false propaganda like that of David Hundayin against Sowore and Sahara reporters.

If his reelection depends on moving to the ruling party, why won't he defect? Again, if he is nursing the ambition to be Nigeria's president in 2031, what stops him from defecting to APC that will provide the national political platform he needs to achieve his aim.....

RoxyBrownAutos:
You are an armature political analyst. Governor Soludo of APGA cannot defect to APC,it is time barred. All political parties in Anambra have done their primary election for November 2023 governorship election,so no room for defection otherwise he will be disqualified.

When it comes to Nnamdi Kanu then it is easy to manufacture 1000 reasons why he should be jailed or punished.

Nothing stops the current government from ending this shameful trial now as everything is in the hands of the prosecuting team (FG). Tinubu and those in his kitchen cabinet knows that when it comes to Nigeria's terrorism crisis, Nnamdi Kanu is not the country's problem. The whole world is watching, it will be a clear injustice to convict Kanu to prison or death while the real perpetrators of terrorism and their enablers like Buhari continues to enjoy his freedom and the government continue to free "repentant" Boko Haram fighters. Let's see how this trial will end.

oyatz:
What aboutism have no play in court cases.

The best options for you and other supporters of Nnamdi Kanu are;

1) Get great lawyers to represent and defend him.

2) If convicted, get a great team to lobby for political solution e.g Presidential pardon

As long Buhari is free and continues to enjoy presidential benefits, the government has no case against Nnamdi Kanu. It is time to free Kanu.

I came across the post "Sowore Works For Tinubu, Funded By US Government - David Hundeyin" in which David Hundeyin accused Sowore of being a Western CIA stooge, he made wild "theories" about the non-profit foundations donating to Sowore's media outfit as being CIA fronts without providing any detailed evidence to backup his claims. Sadly, many Nairaland users without even checking if any of the claims are true were quick to support Hundeyin because they don't like Sowore or what he has to say about Peter Obi. It is indeed shameful that a public personality who parades himself as an "investigative journalist" will stoop so low as to engage in false propaganda, make unguarded utterances and empty manipulative accusations just to excite his social media page followers and placate Peter Obi's hard-line supporters over his weak leadership approach to opposition politics.

For an "international investigative journalist", it is pathetic to see that the only source Hundeyin made to backup his malicious claims was Wikipedia. I went ahead to take a look and none of what was written about the foundations backing Sahara Reporters points to a CIA affiliation. Here is a list of the international foundations and non-governmental organizations mentioned on Wikipedia below.

- Ford Foundation

- Global Information Network

- Omidyar Foundation

- MacArthur Foundation

Any one still in doubt can proceed to read about the founders of these organizations.

If Hundeyin is sure about what he said regarding these organizations then he needs to come clean and publish a detail report about his findings because anything less is a clear indication of political witch-hunt, a cheap character assassination campaign that only exposes him as fake journalist with no shred of integrity.

The point been made here is not that Obi did not pull over 6 million but it is about his cowardly approach as an opposition. Obi will lose again in 2027 if he runs because he is too gentle to face Tinubu and the corrupt highly biased establishment....

Seefinish:
A man who cannot win a party primary in his own constituency is calling a man who won 2023 presidential election but was robbed a paper tiger

This si what you get when the government is only interested in spreading propaganda....

Okay maybe you can share more details about this as I don't see any "gradual building up" any where from Peter Obi. His opposition activities are only opinion speeches made on the pages of newspapers.

MKPUOGALIGA:
You have a point but I think Obi is just gradually building up to the moment when he will look Tinubu in the eye and say BRING IT ON!

Lame! Even traders protest against unfair market policies when they are targeted by the government. Obi appears to be a good man who cares about Nigeria but he is too weak to lead the political revolution Nigeria needs, he can't courageously champion the necessary reforms needed to save Nigerians from the evil people destroying the country. Those sentimentally defending Peter Obi on this thread reminds me of 2015 election as this was the same way Nigerians fell for the fake Messiah called Buhari in 2015. Nigerians were always quick to attack any one who spoke against Buhari, conjuring excuses over his glaring inadequacies. The APC 2015 propaganda was so strong that when it was finally exposed that Buhari lacked necessary educational qualifications to be president, many Nigerians famously proclamed that they will still support and vote for him even if he present a NEPA bill as his academic certificate.... Today, Nigerians are paying dearly for it.....

Any opposition coalition that fields Peter Obi as it's consensus candidate and thinks it can easily defeat Tinubu without protesting, fighting for electoral reforms now that will guarantee a fair election in 2027 is only wasting it's time and setting itself up for another disgraceful defeat.... Just like 2023 election, Obi will chicken out when it gets tough....

richiemcgold:
Obi has no history of political activism. He's just a trader. Let him be pls 🙏

Treasonable felony? Of course that is the price he must be willing to pay if he truly wants to win in 2027. The evil APC government will not play nice in the upcoming election.... Obi can't win if he is not ready to fight for it. Sowore is spot on!

Amayanabo01:
Tinubu is the hard man is too strong abi? Obi should protest so some sophisticated morons will tag it treasonable felony.

The sad painful truth is that if Obi had leveraged his popularity after the 2023 election and mustered the courage to organized the same amount of protests that Sowore did, maybe Nigeria's situation would've changed. Peter Obi will lose if he runs again in 2027 because he can't take the heat required to win.

Igirigimercenar:
My point exactly. Obi is too weak to lead the hungry and angry Nigerian youths yearning for good governance. His criticism of the government is only seen on pages of newspaper and his social media handle

I expected obi to have once mobilized the youths into the street thereby showing the government that he is not pushover and not just a social media ranter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAW3EWfTgkE&pp=ygUGU293b3Jl

In my opinion, Sowore remains one of the loudest most consistent opposition force in Nigerian politics as he has constantly put his life on the line in the fight against the cruel policies of Tinubu's evil government, leading several protests and exposing corruption through his media outfit. I do agree with the points made. Obi pretends to be the major face of the opposition but his impact seem to be only on the pages of newspapers and social media platforms. During Jonathan's tenure, Tinubu, Buhari, Elrufai and others frequently mobilized Nigerians to protest against the bad policies of Jonathan's government. What is the point of an opposition if it can't organize protests?

@helinues, why should Nnamdi Kanu be punished and Buhari allowed to continue to enjoy his freedom?

I thought you won't show up here. Where you relaxing when you kept calling for Nnamdi Kanu's punishment, when you kept attacking everyone on my previous thread.... It is now that you want to relax.... There is no peace for the wicked....

helinues:
So you are not interested in relaxing on Sunday but just to be trolling others

Is that how everything over there is just so boring?

I will continue to remind you of your double standards here.... Until you are courageous enough to call a spade a spade....

helinues:
Why are you trolling me on Sunday when you should be relaxing? How many mentions have you given me unnecessarily on this thread?

Yet people like helinues believes that Nnamdi Kanu is Nigeria's problem....

slimfit1:
Don't forget to include Hell Roof hi guys. Paying terrorist instead of arresting them.

Note that this evil program ran for several years while Nigerians were been slaughtered under Buhari's government, no one knows except those in current government if the program has been reactivated by Tinubu.

fobinor8:
It was well known that he did it. Terrible!
