slivertongue: Show the impact of the ratings on the electorates. It is only manifest on the lives of the Aso rock gang. You showcase their positive reviews but deny the 8 trillion mismanaged or stolen by this administration. Take your nonsense to the talkative drunk
Your observation is exactly my point. It is wisdom to reelect an administration that is in sync with the reform so we can have the micro effect on the ordinary Nigerian
slivertongue: Tinubu has nothing better to offer he is out to deceive Nigerians while living large and promoting nepotism. The same lies was what Apc used in gaining power. There is more corruption now than in 2015 and 2019. This is just a moronic administration dishing out make believe for her supporters to populate the minds of the citizens. But hear me clearly. me, my community and large parts of the North won't do Tinubu. Four years and no improvements in electricity, security, job creation etc. If Apc supporters are idiots the electorates ain't and will reject your candidates at the polls. It's either Tinubu goes or he goes, I mean he goes
I am sure apolitical bodies like the World Bank, Rating Agencies and folks who look at the Nigerian economy dispassionately and not from the prism of partisan politics will disagree with you.
Afrojuju2017: Seyi is desperately trying to save his skin, he knows if Tinubu wins he is going straight to jail. If Tinubu is declared winner by 12 noon Seyi would be on a plane to USA to join his family.
I don't blame him he is just to politically ignorant and dug himself into a deep ditch and can't back out now, Bala Mohammed his Co traveller and major cheerleader tried to move to APC and is now openly campaigning for Tinubu
You correctly analysed the situation in which Polibaby Seyi Makinde now finds himself. Did well in delivering good governance but got drowned politically!!! He was so politically naive and kept making the mistakes that have destroyed him politically. I used to look in his direction as the next Nigerian President of South-West extraction in some time to come but his political future is up in flames. NSEW of Nigeria what political alliances worth calling one has Seyi Makinde now. That APM he is building will have its fruits plucked and eaten by someone else. Seyi Makinde has been politically foolish!
slivertongue: Even if Apc includes all former presidents they can't help reinforce Tinuburukunomics in 2027
It does not occur to you that there are only two ways to heal the economy of Nigeria battered by corruption and ineptitude. We either go through the pains of making our environment attractive to foreign direct investment so we can have the dollar in plentiful play in our economy (macro economic reforms) or locally build our economy through strong manufacturing initiatives. The latter is a pipe dream considering the presence of corruption in our space which has robbed us of the needed electric power and security. The world is now looking our way with the three-year-plus effort to woo foreign direct investment via economic reforms. Tinubu needs another four years to have the reforms translated into micro benefits to the ordinary Nigerian. To have a different driver in the saddle will put to waste all already achieved in that direction. Vote wisely.
oyoofong: They can rework the list as many times as they want! The composition of the committee is not what determines the outcome. Some of its members will still be working with and for Atiku.This is Atiku’s time!
Remember to repeat this after the election over! Be courageous to remind us what you just said. You guys still cannot see through Tinubu's strategy! Simple yet foggy! Tinubu's tell-all memoirs to be published sometime to come should make very interesting reading!
SixSeven: Me I study him for entertainment value but without Tinubu, he won't be where he is today and he has further shown that Tinubu is a fake democrat, all he wants is to win
The same Wike that called APC cancer is now the doctor Tinubu appointed to help him with his campaign. He doesn't mind anti party as long as he 'wins'. Now, if there was no proof that AC/ACN cut deals just for power in the past, this is proof now. AC sold Ribadu to keep Jonathan in power and they didn't mind losing Rivers Governorship so they could 'win' presidential elections in 2023. Democracy indeed. His lackeys will come and rewrite it as being smart, strategic and political but all I see is a desperate, insecure person who cannot let his work speak for him. They believe that everyone has a price and whether you love them or not, they will get what they want because emilokan 😂
"Everyone claims to be democratic but not everyone is faithful to his or her word. We have governments that are democracies on paper, but not in function. They are democracies in form but not in substance. We have governments that only know democracy primarily through breaching it"
~ words on marble by Jagaban Asiwaju BAT on June 10, 2013
Leave all that for the classroom and grammar people. For now all that matters is winning the 2027 elections. The other day when Tinubu told the Political John Cardinal Onaiyekan and the Catholic Bishops that he would do all it takes to win in 2027 they misunderstood him. As things stand today even a Catholic sitting Governor will work to ensure that Tinubu wins and the Saturday following the win he will go for Confession! That's all it takes to slap a Cardinal hard in the face and get away with it!!!
spiSeyi: APC has used and dump this one the same fate awaits uzodinma and umahi after Tinubu's tenure. APC is solely for the North and SW and I wish our SE brothers realized what Kenneth Okonkwo's reality
You are not reading the room correctly. Rochas Okorocha is one of the hands needed in the SE to win the elections for Tinubu in 2027 and to whom much is given much is expected! Now the riddle should not be too hard for you to crack. Rochas Okoronkwo in his current predicament will frantically run around to ensure that Tinubu has 25% of the votes in Imo State!!
Omoh, honestly,we really need to study this wike as a course cuz how he runs these things successfully aren't something we should just look down on
I am sure academics worldwide in the field of political science are studying Wikepolitics as we speak and it is sure to be a Coursework in universities someday soon.
seunmsg: Tinubu has never lost an election so we have no history of calling anybody betrayal after the election. The goal for us is to win the election and not to celebrate the number of states won. Celebrating the numbers of states won after losing the election is for pretenders like Atiku and Peter Obi.
Bola Tinubu will get the highest number of valid votes and still get 25% or more of total vote cast in 30 states. He will be declared the winner just the same way it happened in 2023. The pretenders can take over with the media theatrics after the contender has won the election.
Nice sum-up!!! Q.E.D. Rufai Oseni driving illegally on B.R.T. and still gloating over his illegal conduct and the opposition gang in delusion can't understand that the focus of Tinubu is winning. His strategy is clearly out in the open and the opposition who said they went to school still can't read it. By the time they stop being political fools and are able to read the room correctly the exam will be over! It is delusion to expect to be loved by all in the States and Tinubu knows that! Peter Obi can continue building his Obedient movement and win the majority of votes in the South-East all that is required is the majority of the totality of the votes cast and 25% in two thirds of the States. Tinubu has strategically won the Governors to join him in his quest to win the Presidency and that alone guarantees for him the 25% in the States they govern! Getting that requires smart and strategic thinking and not populism which Bitter Peter Obi, Atiku Abubakar, Sowore and Adebayo are running after.Try as hard as they can it is now too late for them to unhinge the Governors from Tinubu's winning wagon. Tinubu is well aware of moves by Atiku Abubakar in that respect and has put the Governors who appear to be game in that respect on notice that their activities are not unknown! The Governors concerned are recoiling in horror as we speak! Interestingly the Governors will be the ones to mount the campaign stage to ask that their people vote Tinubu and that goes a very long way! Kano and North-West votes are needed for the volume they represent and Ganduje is strategically tasked with engaging the stakeholders in the North to make that happen. Before now the opposition and their deluded supporters said things like - "Governors alone cannot guarantee victory in their states"- it does not occur to them that they are sure to at least guarantee 25% of the votes in their states for Tinubu. They will wake up to reality in 2027 February.
slivertongue: Stop misleading yourself. The opposition governors like kaura and Otti can't help Apc or pull her down because they are subject to the people's will. Any candidate hoping on governors has already failed. The governors of the north west are not sure of their own victory talk more of helping a disaster to victory. 2027 is between the aggressive and resolute electorates and the plagues in power.
You lack a pragmatic understanding of Nigerian politics and appear to have issues with comprehending the dynamics of voter attitude in Nigerian Elections. You will get a better understanding after the announcement of the winners of the 2027 Elections. Do remember to celebrate Nyesom Wike!
seunmsg: He's the coordinator of both Rivers and FCT. He was given a double honor. Wike too get capacity. He's President Tinubu's biggest political signing ever.
Commander not coordinator! Nah only one Oga he get wey be Tinubu Commander IN CHIEF!
seunmsg: As at today, we have five opposition governors in Nigeria. Two of the will serve as members of APC presidential campaign council while Abia state governor as openly declared that he won't be opposing the reelection of Mr. President. Bala Mohammed of the APM was recently seen campaigning for the president while Seyi Makinde is the only governor in Nigeria openly campaigning against Mr. President for obvious reasons.
What is the obvious reason why Makinde is campaigning against Mr. President?
seunmsg: The APC presidential campaign council will be inaugurated tomorrow Wednesday 14th October, 2026. Two opposition governors, Charles Soludo and Adeleke will serve APC state coordinators in their respective states while the National leader of PDP and FCT Minister will serve as coordinator of Rivers State and FCT.
Congratulations to all members of the campaign council. Now, let's go win the election.
Dharmocherish: Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, has appointed Bashorun Akinwale Akinwole, popularly known as Wolekanle, as his new Chief of Staff following the resignation of his predecessor, Segun Ogunwuyi.
The appointment was announced on Monday, October 12, 2026, in a statement signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Musibau Babatunde. The new appointment takes immediate effect.
Akinwole previously served as chairman of the Oyo State Local Government Service Commission. He is a grassroots politician from Ogbomoso, the same hometown as Ogunwuyi.
Alongside the appointment, Makinde named Mrs Aderonke Adedayo as Director-General of the state's Due Process Office. Adedayo, who currently serves as Special Adviser on General Intervention and Donor Agencies, will retain her existing position while taking on the additional responsibility.
The appointments followed Ogunwuyi's resignation earlier on Monday. In his resignation letter, dated October 12, he said his decision took immediate effect and expressed gratitude to Makinde for the opportunity to serve the government and people of Oyo State.
Ogunwuyi, a former member of the Oyo State House of Assembly and the House of Representatives, did not publicly state any political disagreement as the reason for his resignation.
The departure comes amid the recent exits of several political appointees from the Makinde administration. However, no official reason linking Ogunwuyi's resignation to the wider political developments has been established.
Governor Makinde congratulated the new appointees and urged them to discharge their responsibilities with loyalty, commitment and dedication to public service.
naptu2: Mrs Kikelomo Atanda-Owo Abati (the wife of Dr Reuben Abati) celebrated her 20th anniversary in the media industry, but the event has been overshadowed by a clash between Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa and Mr Rufai Oseni.
Mrs Dabiri-Erewa was on stage and talking about responsible journalism when she recounted an issue that developed on Twitter.
“In terms of journalism, there’s no talk about irresponsible journalism. Yes, I’m on Twitter . I hear a lot of things,” Dabiri said.
She said that someone with the Twitter handle Voice of Igbos had a habit of insulting her. She investigated the handle and discovered that it was run by a person named Stephanie who lived in Surulere.
She said that the person attacked her and another person replied and she (Abike Dabiri-Erewa) replied with a smiley emoji.
She said that Rufai Oseni interpreted her response as an endorsement of an offensive reference to the Igbo ethnic group. “Somebody replies to her. Then I do a smiley. And then Rufai Oseni comes and says, Abike Dabiri calls everybody — Igbos — monkeys and gorillas,” she said.
“So that is irresponsible. And then it went viral. Even though I didn’t say Igbos.”
Dabiri said journalists must exercise greater restraint and responsibility, particularly when interpreting or amplifying statements made online.
“We have to ensure that you hold people responsible, but you must be responsible yourself. So we will not accept irresponsible journalism. For you to hold any government official responsible, you must be responsible,” she said.
“And let me tell you, some journalism is going to the dogs. There’s no journalism anymore. There are no standards. There are no values.
“The journalists that we were trained [by] are going to the dogs. There must be values. There must be standards. And not everybody is a journalist, please. That profession is destroyed.”
Rufai Oseni, who was in the audience, said something while Mrs Dabiri-Erewa was speaking but it was not audible because he had no microphone. Mrs Dabiri-Erewa then stood up and raised her voice.
Truth is Dabiri-Erewa called Igbo Monkeys. That is what it means when you responded smiling to a post that says so. In fact Erewa went beyond the insult to mocking the monkeys so called. Her behaviour should be condemned by all people of good will.
Roundly worded and well said! The emptiness of Atiku’s Press Conference is open for all to see. Okonkwo speaking for him equally sounds empty throwing banters on national television 📺 on serious issues.

The announcement comes amid continued efforts by the US administration to remove non-citizens considered priorities for immigration enforcement.
However, the DHS announcement does not provide detailed information about the final immigration status or deportation proceedings of each individual. Being named on the list should therefore not, by itself, be taken as confirmation that a person has already been deported.
CSTRR: The shame is yours for letting an old man care more about your future, than you.
An old man with nothing to lose is more interested in the well being of this country than you.
I spit on you.
Delusion has you bound to the point that you cannot see that it calls for concern when an elder dances naked in the market place! That is what John Cardinal Onaiyekan just did when the Padre openly expressed preference for a candidate in a political contest and schooled the opposition against the ruling party some of whom also constitute part of his congregation! The man of the Cloth just shred his sacred garments and set same ablaze! The Roman Catholic over the centuries have paid dearly for not keeping the dichotomy between the State and the Church. It calls to question how his Clerical studies have benefited him when the lessons of history are lost on him! For your information and that of your partisan Cardinal - Bitter Peter Obi will not be President of Nigeria! Needless to say that your bitterness is so vile and evident that the wind splashed the sputum right back into your face! At the rate you are going you will experience a dry mouth as you go about your life spitting on your face uncontrollably!!
Richtaiwo: Can Kwankwaso tell us which of the northern states the demented Peter Obi will get 25%
Kwaks himself will fail woefully in his projected political plans after the Tinubu Presidency in 2030 when it is the turn of the North. Blind ambition introduced bile into his politics and he got mixed up with Bitter Peter Obi!
This man is at sea! Every smart Nigerian knows that after the 2027 presidential elections in Nigeria it will next be the turn of the North to have the Presidency for another eight years. That is one big reason why the North will not vote Atiku as to do so will jeopardise the Zoning arrangement and the chances of younger and more capable Northerners who want to contest the Presidency post-2027. Tinubu is set to back a Northern successor and Nuhu Ribadu is getting ready. He has the pedigree and the trajectory putting him in an advantageous position for the Presidency in 2030. As for Makinde, he is a joker! The North knows that it is wiser in 2027 to support the most influential Southern Presidential candidate so they can have the overwhelming support the Northern Presidential candidate will need from the south in 2030 when it is the turn of the North. Makinde lacks a basic understanding of the mindset of the typical Northern Nigerian who is very big on loyalty and sees Makinde as one who betrays "his Yoruba brother"! The North will not support such a character especially as they know that if he could betray a Yoruba brother playing the spoiler it would be nothing for him to betray the North when they need his political support for whatever it is worth!
