Yet, APC is afraid of FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS. If APC and Tinubu trust themselves, allow E-Transmission of results.
Better still allow Nigerians to express themselves freely. Tinubu will be gone by 2.00PM.
In any case, we Nigerians have vowed to protect our votes, let's see that useless RO that will dare to say she/he cannot transmit results from the polling unit. The people will do the needful.

Do you really understand what is meant by e-transmission?

Validated:
True, if Atiku cannot stop Fintiri with the House of Assemblly, he should just retire from politics.

In the same vein, if Tinubu is afraid of E-Transmission having gotten 30 states, SHAME ON HIM.

This is no real-time transmission anywhere in the world.

Obiedun:
I still wonder why ADC and Atiku himself are not able to draw any governor to their party. With a the influence of Atiku his state governor cannot follow him even his own child too. Does it mean that all these PDP governor are being used as moles in APC. But then Tinubu is not a novice in politics. He cannot just be deceived like that. I can see that politicians have no trust in Atiku.

How about Obi? His state governor couldn't follow him. No senator. Nawaaoo.

Macphenson:
When Dangote predicted that dollar will go down to #1000, I get confused. Dollar is going down yet his fuel and cement are going up? TINUBUNOMICS, voodoo economics

You are the one that don't understand economics. You guys are obsessed with dollar. Products that are produced locally that has minimal imported input, how can exchange rate reasonably affect the price? About 90% input material for cement production is sourced locally.

MEGAWATCH:
You never added this;

Did Tinubu lobby people with financial inducement and other benefits to join his party like Obasanjo....Yes!


For you to purposely omitte this point, you are a confirmed HYPOCRITE, just like Tinubu and maybe it runs in the blood.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can't add what I don't know. I don't speculate like you. The ones that I wrote here are in the public knowledge.

ComeToJesus:
Tinubu destroying Nigeria 's democratic institutions.

Keep saying this. Election is just ten months away. No structure, mobilization, strategic planning. Just conference upon conference. Social media upon social media. When those that worked hard win you will come back here to accuse them of rigging.

RollinTNDA:
Leaders of main opposition political parties in Nigeria are set to address a joint news conference in Abuja on the amendment to the Electoral

Where are the opposition parties? ADC and NNPP. No governor, no senators. Two obscure parties. Where are LP, PDP, etc. Opposition are only David Mark, Atiku and Obi. Hahaha 🤣😂

Hemanwel:
Yes, you have perfected your rigging plans! That's why you're sticking to manual voting!

You and I know that your principal will not bother contesting the 2027 elections if manual voting is removed from the Electoral Act.

You and I also know that the only way you can rig the elections is the old way of allowing manual voting.

Which voting type do you want? Mention one country with proof in the world that do it.

mactoni91:
Seem them dn perfect their their rigging plans..

This is the language of a failure: all people that are passing are bribing teachers.

MEGAWATCH:
What did you do with them?

You were playing with them ABI?

The same thing you are doing now was what you criticized and attacked Obasanjo few years ago...

Now you are doing everything you attacked your predecessors!


YOU ARE THE GREATEST HYPOCRITE TO SIT ON THAT SEAT AS A PRESIDENT OF NIGERIA.


VERY BIG HYPOCRITE AND A DISGRACED MAN RULING A DISGRACED COUNTRY.


🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😗

Did Tinubu withstand OBJ? Yes. Why can't the present opposition withstand him.

Did Tinubu jump from party to party? No. He stayed, built and protected his party. Why can't the present opposition do same?

Did Tinubu engineer a coalition? No. A coalition is an assemblage of people that are frustrated out of their parties. Tinubu engineered a merger of political parties. It has never been done in Nigeria before. He spent his money, time and sacrificed his personal ambition to build a formidable party. Why can't the present opposition do the same?

Since the day Tinubu's party gained power opposition died. Opposition requires patience, sacrifice, sound ability to mobilize people. For 16 years Tinubu was in opposition he didn't jump to another party. He was busy building at the background. All the major characters in opposition are in a hurry and looking for easy way to power.

Ofunaofu:
You didn’t kill opposition. You simply made sure it can’t breathe without your permission

This opposition must be weakler. No resistance, no organization but just chochocho. They are not even telling us what they will do differently. If you are a politician would you choose ADC, PDP, LP, NNPP over APC? The opposition couldn't even attract prominent people to join them except those that can't find space in APC.

This is the place where you will wake up one morning and hear:
I brigadier......... then you will know that edon happen
Next radio Nigeria at ikoyi will be taken over
Next martial music on the station
Next curfew
After few days a new face will emerge and that's the new head of state.

Kobicove:
What exactly is the grouse of the Americans in this case, the fact that he received a bribe or the fact that he did not pay tax on the money?

It was an illegal money
He didn't disclose but disguised it
Most importantly he didn't pay tax because of the disguise

Thedon22:
That's Obi and Aisha Yesufu. Let them keep stockpiling dollars. Thank God we dodged a bullet. Those guys knows nothing about running an economy. They would have run Nigeria aground. By now we would have been in serious depression. The same Cardosos obidients said has Oluwole qualification is currently the best CBN gov Nigeria ever had. Anybody that listens to their analysis needs to have his brain checked.

Don't mind those people. Check my comments here when Cardoso was appointed. I worked very closely with him during his days at citizens bank. He's good and has large pool of brilliant people as friends. I said then that he will do well.

Richtaiwo:
This makes absolutely no sense to me, unless there’s some secret dictionary defining what I just read.

CBN deliberately slowing appreciation of the naira? For what exactly?

It makes economic sense. A good currency is not supposed to have high oscillation. There should be stability. Movements within a range is acceptable but outside it unacceptable. For example exporters have done their planning with a range of exchange in mind. If there is sudden appreciation the importers might cancel their orders.

All budgets in Nigeria are in naira. There are benchmark exchange rates used. Sudden appreciation will throw them off balance.

We keep telling people that exchange rate management is not like they tell us to bring it down to #500 to $1. The good thing is that there is evidence of availability of dollar. If there is any event that will trigger high rates then CBN will pump in dollar to moderate it. This is managed floatation.

The Nigerian economy is on the upward swing. I hope that politics will not waste all our sacrifices.

Is Obi the founder of ADC? When last did you hear of Atiku, Amechi and Tambawal? That was how he came to LP and hijacked everything. He will not build or manage but just come in and ride on the wave.

Come ooo. Why is it that everyone in ADC is either hater of Tinubu or frustrated from their previous parties? No originality, no principle, no ideology. Up till now ADC has not been telling us of what they will do differently. All that they do is attack and condemn. Is this the new Nigeria that they will give us?

asfrank:
You forgot the part where two factions of ADC are in open disagreement with one another, that is a verifiable news. Any member of the disgruntled faction can do this. Obi should have done his due diligence before going to Edo. At least try and settle the difference, hear from both sides. Same thing happened in Labour Party when it was hijacked.

Obi's own is go from place to place and make noise. He can't organize any political party.

hrhobi1:
All these yoruba blogs and lies, tinubu rats, I am based in Benin, GOVERNMENT SPONSORED APC ARMED ROBBERS WERE BEHIND THE ATTACK YESTERDAY

They go arrest you to explain. This was how elrufai landed in trouble. He's bleeding from his nose now. Chochocho is dangerous.

Titogbanski:
ALL THESE FAKE STATISTICS..

IT IS ONLY IN NIGERIA THAT I HEAR THAT A PRESIDENT'S ACHIEVEMENT IS INCREASE IN FOREIGN RESERVES THAT NOBODY EVER FEELS OR DOES NOT MAKER OUR DEBT GO DOWN...HMMM

No...let the reserve be zero. That will be better. Did you study even elementary economics at all?

Chickensoup:
Those criticizing oseni hasn't said anything except insult. Is what oseni is saying wrong or not? If it is then prove it. You can't just say he is a disgrace without a reason.

What Oseni said was all lies. A simple investigation would have proven it. All these studios journalists that don't investigate anything. A check on INEC portal would have given him the truth.

Osariemen12:
The massage is clear: the actual number of votes were mutilated. Thus, the results are not to be trusted.

Even cheques can have cancellation on them and you sign it.

geoworldedu:
But the two after that one is very bold. It doesn't look like something that was cancelled. We know cancellation when we see one na.

What was written in words?
What was written as the total votes cast?

INEC uses adhoc staff that majority are young people that were trained for two weeks or thereabout.

TechBaron:
2026

Nigeria can't hold a credible local government election.

Just create a simple biometric system that won't allow one fingerprint to vote twice, then put in place a system that collates and transmits voting results in real time.

As someone is pressing his thumb for party A, the decision is recorded on the machine and transmitted to a coalition centre where the results can be seen on a screen.

If you have errors or network issues, what is your backup? Why do you talk of hard copy and soft copy?

Doo1:
So, how did the 2 appeared behind 1 to make it 1212. No explanation to that.

My friend cool down and read. If you have comprehension problem tell us and we will help you. Everything is fully explained by INEC here.

Federalofficia:
Economist in the house, please why is it that nigeria naira is better than some countries currency and some countries currency are way far low to dollars compared to Nigeria naira to dollars yet some of these countries economy are fine and are rate well better than Nigeria and some countries in africa

We keep telling people that the value of a currency to the dollar doesn't determine the performance of the economy. There are fundamental things to consider. When you want to discourage imports it will pay you to have low value to the dollar so that imports will be expensive.

An export oriented country will benefit more if their currency is low in value. Most Asian currencies have low value to the dollar.

The Nigerian situation is because the only major export which is crude oil is priced in dollar and the price is determined internationally. In the days of so much petrodollar the government arbitrarily fixed the value high. This encouraged all manner of imports. Industries died because it was cheaper to import finished goods than to produce locally.

As the petrodollar started reducing we couldn't defend the high rate. First we started borrowing to defend it. Secondly we started selling upfront to defend it. Funds that should be used for provision of infrastructure were used to defend the naira.

We got to a dead end so we have to reverse the old order. Of course it will affect everything in the economy. We are going back to the Asian model. Devalue, make imports more expensive to discourage imports and encourage local production. Exporters will earn more.

In time past I personally use foreign suits, shirts, perfume etc. They are too expensive now so I use locally produced ones. My shoes are still foreign but I manage them carefully because they are not cheap to buy.

zegxy:
It smacks if unintelligence to think that the 2027 elections will follow the same pattern of the Abuja LGA elections. For those who know the pattern of voting in Abuja, nothing has changed .
When Obi won in the presidential elections in Abuja in 2023, was Labour party among the participating party in the Abuja LGA yet he won.
I am flabbergasted at the ignorance being displayed by APC data boys since the release of the Abuja LGA council results

But we must accept that Obi's performance through LP in 2023 will be replicated in 2027 abi?

Boladogailese:
Baba still strong o e sure me say he go handle me better than all these small small boys

See you.... wetin you fit do?

Brendaniel:
You supported a devil to become president because of religion, bias and position, I kept wondering what El-rufai was thinking that period, his eye has cleared like many others I warned about Tinubu...

Because he supported a devil to become president so he should go ahead and commit crime? The way some of you reason eeh.

SpaceX:
Tinubu want to sit on all the resources alone and spend it recklessly

You don't know what the decision stand for. Ask for explanation. It's not a crime.

Brendaniel:
I feel People are not getting what just happened, from what I feel, Tinubu's tax law failed to achieve what he wanted because of politics, so he had to find somewhere else to replace the failure which is this executive order...

Tax law that started just in January? How would you conclude that it has not achieved what he wanted?

Applaude good thing. This is killing a major corruption in nnpc. It's part of the economic reform. This is money meant for the entire federation but enjoyed in nnpc. The law empowers them to take 20% as management fee but they at the same time taking additional 30%. This has been on for years. During FAAC states have protested but nothing came of it. No president dare do this. PBAT has sound knowledge of the oil and gas industry. This will release more money to the federal, state and local governments. It's a masterstroke. NNPC is gradually being cleaned. Obi or Atiku can never know this.

When your governors start constructing roads and provide facilities you should thank the person that made it easy for them.

No be you suppose cry. Na the guy suposs cry.

Do you know what it means for a 64 years old to enjoy a 27 years old 😘 love. She had imagined how she could have it regularly. The boy calling her baby alone makes her feel younger. Blame Trump.
