Abacha wanted a one-party contraption; he wanted all the political parties to endorse him. Exactly what is happening today. The truth stings!

We Continue to Confirm our ‘Now Disgraced Status’ as a Nation? Let us all pause and pray for the souls of over 150 innocent lives lost in Kwara yesterday. This tragedy is precisely why I delayed commenting on the outrageous and shameful news surrounding our electoral system. The Senate's blatant rejection of mandatory electronic transmission of election results is an unforgivable act of electoral manipulation ahead of 2027. This failure to pass a clear safeguard is nothing short of a deliberate assault on Nigeria’s democracy. By rejecting these essential transparency measures, they are eroding the very foundation of credible elections. One must ask: Does the government exist to ensure order and justice, or to institutionalise chaos? Is its purpose to serve the people, or to fulfil the sinister ambitions of a select few? The turmoil, disputes, and manipulations that plagued past elections, especially the 2023 general election, stemmed directly from the refusal to fully implement electronic transmission. Nigerians were fed excuses of a fabricated “glitch” that never existed. While numerous African nations adopt electronic transmission to bolster democracy, Nigeria, the supposed giant of Africa, shamelessly lags behind, dragging the continent backwards. We are wasting time hosting conferences and drafting papers on Nigeria's problems while we, the leaders and elite, are the real issue. Our deliberate resistance to reform is pulling the country backwards, dragging us toward a primitive state of governance. By rejecting mandatory electronic transmission—a critical safeguard for electoral integrity—we are entrenching disorder aimed at perpetuating confusion according to the whims of a small clique. Have we not reached a point where we must think seriously about the future of our country and our children? Should leadership not focus on building a credible, orderly, and livable nation for the next generation, rather than one permanently ensnared in chaos? When the former Prime Minister of the UK, aware of our history, labelled us “fantastically corrupt,” we reacted defensively. When President Donald Trump declared us a “now disgraced nation,” we were incensed. Yet, with every act of resistance against transparency and reform, we continue to affirm their claims. Those responsible will later point fingers at others for harming the country while they quietly suffocate its potential. Let there be no illusion, the criminality witnessed in 2023 will not be tolerated in 2027. Nigerians everywhere must start getting ready to rise up, resist, and reject the backward trajectory, legitimately and decisively reclaim our country from the clutches of deliberate malevolence. The International community must take heed of this groundwork for continued future electoral manipulation, endangering our democracy and development. A new Nigeria is POssible but we must all stand and fight for it. -PO

@mrtweetusa "Open your eyes"

BREAKING: The Tinubu administration must immediately release journalist Adejuwon Soyinka who was reportedly arrested by the DSS at the Muritala Muhammed International Airport today. The administration must end the persecution of journalists simply for doing their job. We’re concerned that Soyinka’s arrest is part of a growing crackdown against journalists, whistleblowers and human rights defenders in Nigeria. The growing crackdown on journalists and whistleblowers is creating a chilling effect among other journalists and whistleblowers thereby allowing grave and systemic human rights violations to continue with impunity and minimal transparency and accountability. The harassment and intimidation of journalists and whistleblowers shows that the Tinubu administration is intolerant of peaceful dissent. This is entirely incompatible with democratic principles and the rule of law. Nigeria’s international partners and UN human rights mechanisms should publicly denounce the blatant assault on the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and association in the country.
