Incase no INEC polling unit on social media just a reminder
Boladogailese: Considering that Tinubu is a big no and people’s disdain for Apc due to his woeful performance. Now the main question is, if Apc present Osinbajo will Nigerians vote for him?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣(EARPORT) Rip English ooo [quote author=Naijahero1 post=139047797]We have done the assessments across Nigeria and the voices are loud, firm, harsh and the same from the remotest parts of the north down to the south. The name TInubu is a dangerous taboo, it's considered a curse. No one is asking him not to rig but it will choke him as Nigerians won't go to court. It will be handled legally on the streets. There is no difference between TInubu's government and death.
Shockingly, the most angry tribe now are the Yoruba who for the first time witness a large influx of people from Kwara to other states for safety. The trauma is unbearable.
What about the economy? The daily survival?The economy is in shambles. Insecurity is worse now, people can't go to farm without the fear of being kidnapped. People are killed and displaced and the most annoying is that TInubu is obviously mute or often chooses to mock the people himself (You have no light at the earport, I will be flying back within 10 minutes) or through unsympathetic, uncouth and lying spokespersons.
How can Nigerians forgive him? Is it my abandoning the masses and believing the 36 states governors will determine his reelection? Or by giving them some cups of rice after 4 tortuous years? You can rig elections and go scot-free if you have performed relatively well but where your score is screaming red, and people are angry, rigging is suicidal. I think TInubu has realised this but it's too late to make amends. What we have now are deluded supporters like Wike trying to destabilize the oppositions and assuring TInubu of reelection but it's backfiring. The opposition is growing and becoming resilient. When opposition has more support and becomes more popular than the government, you can't do anything. You're defeated even before the election. TInubu knows that 2023 was allowed to fly because he was sold to Nigeria on the false mantra of the builder of Lagos and people wanted to see him try but now Nigerians have seen the truth. If the north and south are up against you, where will you get your votes? Rig and roast!
That woman said, “gbogbo ibi to ba wa o ma ni inira ni,” meaning wherever Tinubu is, hardship will follow him. It clearly reflects deep frustration and exhaustion.
2027 is around the corner—BAT, it’s time to start preparing to leave. https://t.co/cHZLUya9oj
Decamp to ADC? Is that how you guys fool yourself in your WhatsApp group? Incumbent house of representatives member from kogi state, that was elected twice under the platform of ADC
oyeb15: The House of Rep member recently decamp to ADC .This guy has acheived nothing for his constituency apart from saying Tinubu must win 2027. So he decamped to ADC to destrupt the party with Gonbe.
This is no more democracy
Some people cannot be destroying the country for benefit at d expense of good citizens
BREAKING: Senator Kabiru Mafara the charismatic Zamfara Central senator has just officially joined the ADC coalition days after he resigned from the sinking ship of the APC.
peculiar2233: Don’t worry you will cry more. We all support Madam Hafsatu Danladi as the true Chairperson of the APC. Go to court and stop crying like bush baby
A coalition of prominent Nigerian political figures on Wednesday staged a protest in Abuja, demanding reforms in the country’s electoral system and accusing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of bias.
The demonstration, tagged “Occupy INEC” and “Save Our Democracy,” was spearheaded by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, alongside Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, and former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi.
Also present were the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Mark, former Osun State governor Rauf Aregbesola, former Sokoto State governor Aminu Tambuwal, and former senator Dino Melaye, among other party leaders and supporters.
Trigger for the Protest
The protest follows INEC’s decision to withdraw recognition from the ADC leadership after a Court of Appeal ruling, a move the demonstrators described as politically motivated.
Organisers said the action was aimed at drawing attention to what they termed increasing interference in the electoral process and the need to safeguard Nigeria’s democratic institutions.
Atiku Abubakar, who had earlier announced the protest, said it was a peaceful demonstration driven by a commitment to protect democracy and prevent any slide toward authoritarian rule.
Voices from the Streets
At the protest venue, demonstrators chanted “Ojoro”, a slang expression suggesting electoral malpractice, while holding placards bearing inscriptions such as “Tinubu, why are you afraid?”, “Let democracy breathe,” and “Judges must give justice.”
Participants also sang “Arise, O Compatriots,” Nigeria’s former national anthem, in what appeared to be a symbolic expression of national unity and civic responsibility.
Amaechi Urges Citizens to Act
Addressing the crowd, Rotimi Amaechi called on Nigerians to take an active role in defending the country’s democracy.
He warned against political manipulation and emphasized the importance of maintaining the integrity of the electoral process.
According to Amaechi, the protest reflects a broader commitment among political leaders to demand credible, free, and transparent elections, adding that safeguarding democracy is a responsibility that extends beyond politicians to all citizens.
Rising Political Undercurrents
The joint appearance of Atiku, Obi, Kwankwaso, and other influential figures—many of whom were rivals in the 2023 presidential election—has fueled speculation about possible political realignments ahead of 2027.
Analysts say the protest signals growing concern among opposition leaders over electoral credibility and could mark the early stages of coalition-building.
Call for Electoral Integrity
The protesters urged INEC to remain independent and uphold its constitutional responsibility to conduct free and fair elections.
They warned that any perceived bias could erode public trust and weaken Nigeria’s democratic framework.
The protest underscores increasing political tension as the country gradually shifts focus toward the 2027 general elections, with stakeholders calling for transparency, accountability, and stronger democratic institutions.
Peter obi should declare himself as APC national chairman immediately
ottersberger: PDP is crippled. LP is crippled. SDP is crippled. ADC is rendered barely functional. Registration of new parties is restrained.
The Nigerian opposition has failed to heed the Old Testament commandment of an eye for an eye. In place of grown men who have worked hard to create a name for themselves, crying and marching in the rain in protest against one illegitimate president's antics, it is now time to “scatter” his party, the APC, as well. Let weariness and confusion enter their midst, too.
ADC must now provision funds to sponsor claimants to the chairmanship throne in the APC. There is no dearth of eligible candidates, and Wike's for the right price. I can find ten of them tomorrow morning. Let the courts be littered with petitions, and let them be served with the injunctions of claimants.
When every man and his wife grow tired and weary of the madness, we will return to real politics and nation-building. No one man is bigger than the country. It is only those who abdicated their responsibility to themselves that gave rise to emperors and dictators. When Bulgarians grew tired of dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu, they publicly lynched him and his wife.
Every APC state chapter chairmanship must be disputed in the courts. The national chairman and national secretary positions must be illegally occupied. When?. Yesterday, already. The Nigerian judiciary and the corrupt INEC must be allowed to nuance their bias before the Nigerian people. This has to be the way forward.
nairavsdollars: Wike kept saying PDP, Nigeria's major opposition party is not dead. He even organized a national convention. But he wants all his men in PDP to vote for President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Is that not a one party state?
Tinubu only saw a willing tool in Wike and ADC played into their hands
