Bobloco:
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has said that President Bola Tinubu should be afraid of a major defeat in 2027 because he would be contesting against millions of Nigerians who have faced unprecedented hardship under his government.

In a statement by the national publicity secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, the party made the remark in reaction to a statement by the president that he was not scared of the opposition, whom he mocked as holding its convention on the streets.

The party described the remarks as unpresidential, saying with his utterances, the president appeared preoccupied with politics even as majority of Nigerians sink deeper into poverty and are left helpless in the hands of insurgents and kidnappers.

Reacting to the president’s comments, the ADC said, “What Nigerians saw was not the confidence of a leader in control. It was the anxiety of a president increasingly disconnected from the reality of hardship, insecurity, and frustration facing millions of citizens.

“At a time when families are battling a historic cost of living crisis, food inflation, rising debt burdens and collapsing purchasing power, the president chose to mock the opposition instead of addressing the suffering of Nigerians.”

The ADC spokesman added that while the president spoke, reports of children being abducted from examination centres were circulating.


“This is the reality of today’s Nigeria, insecurity spreading deeper into everyday life while government appears distracted,” the party said.

Abdullahi cautioned the president against ridiculing the opposition, adding that he should be deeply concerned that the majority of Nigerians have rejected his government, whose ill-conceived policies have ruined lives and destroyed livelihoods.

“These are the reasons he should be scared, because the people are determined to vote him out.

“We also reject the false narrative around the ADC National Convention. We did not hold our convention on the street. If that was the story supplied to the President by agents of disruption, then he has been misinformed.

“But even if any opposition party were forced to gather outside established venues, Nigerians would understand why. Under this administration, democratic space has shrunk significantly.

“No government before now had denied political parties fair access to public venues such as Eagle Square, a national civic ground that belongs to all Nigerians, not to any ruling party,” he said.

The ADC said President Tinubu also cannot preach separation of powers while simultaneously assuming the role of interpreter of the law, political referee, and commentator on judicial matters.

He added that Tinubu cannot be a President and a judge at the same time.

“If this administration truly respected separation of powers, Nigerians would not have witnessed the repeated weakening and humiliation of institutions meant to serve as checks and balances. The legislature, in particular, has too often appeared reduced to an extension of executive convenience.”

The ADC further said it noted the President’s recent attempt to ingratiate himself with the supporters of late President Muhammadu Buhari after years of distancing himself from the late President and denigrating his record, blaming him for every failure of his government.

The party described the move as hypocritical adding that the sudden U-turn is because of the coming election but that it is too late.

“The issue before the country today is simple: hardship is rising, insecurity is worsening, debt is mounting, and hope is fading. No amount of political theatre can hide that truth.

“The ADC remains focused on building a credible alternative anchored on competence, security, prosperity, and democratic freedom. Nigerians deserve better than excuses, propaganda, and power games,” he said.

When kwankwaso was deputy speaker house of representatives where was peter obi politically? Is like you kids think politics started 2023 ?

ExudeLoveToAll:
What do you mean by politically? All these sycophants littered everywhere on Nland you guys should rest for once, this is how he made plenty noise last time and ended up winning just Kano. Politically that doesn't mean political influence on the people determining who becomes president is no influence at all. When it comes to the polls you all fear Obi because you can only win by rigging but you are ok with Me. Kano because he only has votes from Kano.

Makinde and bala Muhammed are already on their way out of PDP, who will now accompany turaki to reclaim PDP national secretariat ? Turaki a whole SAN who know the law allow himself to be mislead by I pass my neighbor generator engineer Mr makinde

So politics started in 2023 abi ?

Goo0dHardDick:
Oga explain to us how kwankwaso got just a million vote while obi got 6 million votes. Explain to us how he is bigger than Obi.

If he was bigger he ought to have gotten 11m votes at least. Kwankwaso won only Kano so how exactly is he bigger? 🤡

jmoore:
Babablu bulabu.

Go and pass maths first. Which teacher taught you that 1 million votes is bigger than 6 million votes? No wonder Tinubu dey scam una back to back.

jmoore:

All aspirants must participate in primary election, nothing like free ticket or south east should field candidate. ATIKU, ameachi, kwankwaso and obi must all participate in primary election

A NEW DAWN FOR EQUITY: ALL PARTIES PLEDGE SOUTHEAST PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR 2027, LET NIGERIANS CHOOSE THEIR IGBO LEADER

ENUGU — History turned a new page this week as leaders of all registered political parties in Nigeria announced a unified pact: every party will field only South Easterners as presidential candidates in 2027, giving Nigerians a historic chance to choose their preferred Igbo leader for the nation’s highest office.

The landmark resolution, brokered after weeks of consultations led by South East elders, was unveiled in Enugu on Friday to chants of “Finally, One Nigeria.” From APC to PDP, LP to ADC, party chairmen signed a communiqué affirming that justice, healing, and national balance demand that the presidency rotate to the South East.

“This is not about tribe. This is about trust,” the Council of South East Elders declared. “Nigeria has waited 60 years for this moment of equity. In 2027, every ballot will carry an Igbo name. Nigerians will now choose based on competence, vision, and character — not region.”

The pact means voters will see an all-Igbo presidential lineup: Igbo economists, Igbo industrialists, Igbo reformers, Igbo generals — each with different manifestos, all with one heritage. For the first time, the question is not _if_ an Igbo can lead, but _which_ Igbo will lead.

Youth groups across the six zones erupted in celebration, calling it “the maturity Nigeria needed.” Market unions in Aba, tech hubs in Lagos, farmers in Kebbi, and students in Maiduguri echoed the same line: “Let the best Igbo win.”

Party leaders said the decision ends decades of marginalization and kills the narrative of “permanent opposition.” By removing region from the ballot war, 2027 becomes a pure contest of ideas. Education, security, jobs, and power — not zoning — will dominate debates.

“This is how you build a nation,” said a Northern delegate at the signing. “You give every child a reason to believe the seat belongs to them too. Now, every Igbo child can point to the ballot and say ‘my turn is now.’”

The South East Elders commended all parties for “choosing country over calculation” and urged Nigerians to prepare for campaigns of substance, not sentiment.

For millions who felt unseen, 2027 is no longer a protest vote. It’s a menu. Pick your Igbo. Pick your future.

Obi must participate in primary election with ATIKU, ameachi, kwankwaso and others. Nothing like free ticket or vice presidential ticket 😅😅

LagosOrigin:
Tinubu really messed up the southern opportunity . He destroyed Nigeria beyond repair. He's a disgrace!

LagosOrigin:
Which faction of PDP is this, the Wike faction?

E no go better for Wike and his useless faction of PDP.

Peter Obi is from south east and we've aligned with him and Rabiu Kwankwaso, we will support them whole heartedly in 2027.

Peter Obi is our choice and we will vote massively for him because tinubu have disgraced himself.

hahahaha PVC you no get , membership card you no get how do you want to vote for obi ? no INEC polling unit in nairaland 😆😆😆

Hahaha makinde and bala Muhammed are already on their way out of PDP, who will now accompany turaki to reclaim PDP national secretariat oo 🤣

cyril10:
The only reason is because she is a tribalist.

but if she shake the bad luck she won't be label as tribalist ? Obi problem is his lousy Obidients

I have been saying it here, politically kwankwaso is bigger than obi . But Obidients only think everything is all about social media noise

Confused losers without direction always looking for who to blame

She doesn't want to be a loser or eze burial of her village, kudos to her for rejecting bad luck eze finishing of agulu village is finish

She doesn't want to be a loser or eze burial of her village, kudos to her for rejecting bad luck

The Prophet want money from peter obi with style

This is very commendable from Oba Femi

As long as Ibadan convention was illegal, every action taken in that Amala convention stands illegal

Which of the ADC ? The hijackers ADC led by David mark or the owners of ADC led by nafiu bala?

Naijahero1:
My problem with too many discussing politics, defections, political parties and all the political noises is that they often fail to face the reality. Too many talks are not needed now. Nigerians have rejected TInubu. There is no part of Nigeria where TInubu is not regarded as a curse. TInubu knows.
The monsters Nigerians are fighting are not TInubu and APC but INEC and judiciary. Kill the corruption in them to save Nigeria.

Hehehe and if you participate in primary election you can't contest in any political party obi you like it or not you must participate in primary election

On social media ? Just a reminder no INEC polling unit on social media

Obi-Kwankwaso "OK" Movement Goes Viral On Social Media

Someone that can't even go out and vote for himself as governorship candidate in kogi state

Obi must participate in primary election nothing like free ticket

Naijahero1:
I'm so happy that APC supporters and TInubu data boys are scared stiff of Obi. Imagine APC asking ADC who to present or who to present. That shows how terrified APC is at the moment. Don't worry we will keep in the dark until we perfect our plans.

Peter obi himself is aware he can only fool his Obidients and IPOB terrorists

The same ATIKU/OBI that buhari easily defeated before 1pm on election day in 2019 presidential election? Nawa oo the confusion is real in the camp of losers hijackers

Naijahero1:
The truth remains that Obi-Kwankwaso or Atiku-Obi is a winning ticket for ADC. Both requires work. Again, I have told my fellow Obidients and ADC members that defeating TInubu at the polls is not the problem, it's defeating the dangerously corrupt INEC and Judiciary. There must be a serious plan on how to deal with INEC and judiciary legally without going to court. We need Nigerians who are mad for change, a revolution kind of election. ADC must show Nigerians the readiness to defend the votes.

Obi no doubt has the majority of the southern votes in his pocket even as deputy. If Atiku can collaborate with Kwankwaso and push TInubu out of the north. After all, TInubu is no longer popular in the North. Then by noon, TInubu will know his fate.

On the other hand, Obi-Kwankwaso is also a winning ticket that will fly if Atiku gives his support and canvases the votes of the Northerner. The truth remains that ADC is not contesting against TInubu because he is not even on the ballot. ADC is contesting against INEC and judiciary. All this noise and speculation are not necessary. What's important is that plan for INEC and judiciary.

Nothing like rest, all aspirants must participate in primary election. Nothing like free ticket or vice presidential ticket

Lordhanzo:
[center] There is a recurring problem at the heart of Atiku Abubakar’s presidential ambition: it is long on persistence and painfully short on clarity. After decades in Nigeria’s political and economic elite—including eight years as Vice President from 1999 to 2007—he is not an outsider to the system’s failures; he is a product of them. And that makes his vagueness on reform all the more glaring.

Atiku’s central economic idea—privatisation—has been a constant refrain. But repetition is not the same as a plan. Nigeria has heard this before, including during the Obasanjo administration in which Atiku played a key role. That era did pursue privatisation, yet it also left behind unresolved structural issues: power sector inefficiencies, entrenched patronage networks, and a state still heavily burdened by corruption and weak institutions. Invoking the same approach today without a detailed, updated framework for execution, transparency, and social impact is not policy—it’s nostalgia.

More troubling is the lack of specificity when it matters most. On critical issues—currency instability, subsidy reform, insecurity, and youth unemployment—Atiku’s public proposals often remain at the level of broad commitments rather than operational detail. “We will fix,” “we will reform,” “we will attract investment”—these are not strategies; they are placeholders. A country facing multi-layered crises cannot afford leadership that communicates in generalities.

There is also the question of credibility. Atiku has run for president multiple times across different political platforms, adapting his message to the moment but rarely deepening it. Longevity in politics can be an asset, but in this case it raises an uncomfortable question: if decades of proximity to power have not produced a sharper, more coherent governing vision, why should Nigerians expect one to materialise now?

Contrast that with the demands of the present. Nigeria’s challenges are not abstract—they are technical, urgent, and unforgiving. They require detailed fiscal strategies, security architecture reforms, and institutional restructuring that go beyond familiar talking points. Yet Atiku’s campaign continues to operate at a level of abstraction that suggests either an unwillingness or an inability to engage with that complexity.

The danger here is not simply that Atiku might fail to transform Nigeria. It is that he represents a continuity of political thinking that has already failed it: elite recycling, policy vagueness, and an overreliance on reputation instead of results.

At some point, persistence stops looking like determination and starts looking like entitlement. And Nigeria, in its current state, cannot afford another presidency built on the assumption that wanting power is the same as being prepared to use it effectively.[/center]
