Time for the North, you are there! Time for the South, you are there! Wike scattered the PDP because of you. We have a weak opposition because of you. You have no sense of equity. No sense of probity. A meddlesome interloper. You will continue to run.

This type of video, and many other irrelevant distractions, is why some of them refuse to allow Mr Chameleon to see reality; they are all living in a fool’s paradise.

@TaiAbati2021 @KwankwasoRM If they move ADC will be in the ballot but if they stay ADC will be enmeshed in a long legal tussle and bulaba will smile to high heavens because the door would have been shut. APC don't want Obi in the ballot under the coalition for a two horse race that will defeat Tinubu.

@KwankwasoRM Staying in ADC, as you rightly said, comes with its risks. For ADC to be on the ballot in 2027 would require a miracle. It may be wiser to make a move now while there is still time.. O.K???

Clarification on My Political Position We have noted recent media reports and discussions suggesting a possible realignment within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to the current challenges facing the party. In light of the misleading narratives in the public domain, I wish to state categorically that no final decision has been taken regarding my political future or that of my political associates. The recent Supreme Court judgment, while affirming the legitimacy of the David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC), also remitted the matter back to the High Court. This has left the party in a precarious position. In addition, the Federal High Court has recently ruled to delegitimise the party’s recent convention. The Attorney General of the Federation has also strangely applied to a Federal High Court to deregister the ADC. We left the NNPP due to externally influenced legal problems that made our stay perilous. The ADC has now been also forced into this difficulty. Consequently, like other major stakeholders, we have commenced wide-ranging consultations — including with leaders from the NDC, PRP and others to explore the best options for protecting our democratic interests. We shall announce our decision in the soonest possible time. On the issue of presidential candidacy, I wish to recall my consistent record as a committed democrat. In the 2014 APC presidential primary, I came second to President Muhammadu Buhari (whom I fully supported to victory), with Atiku Abubakar third, Rochas Okorocha fourth, and the late Sam Nda-Isaiah fifth. Similarly, in 2019, I contested the PDP presidential ticket and immediately supported the winner, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, serving as the campaign’s coordinator in the North. I have always placed national interest and party unity above personal ambition. Furthermore, the ADC is yet to zone its presidential ticket or take any decision on a candidate. I have therefore neither declared any intention to run for president nor endorsed any aspirant. All speculations to the contrary are premature and unfounded. My absence from the two recent ADC stakeholders’ meetings was due to unavoidable personal commitments. I promptly communicated my apologies to the party leadership. We shall continue to engage constructively at all levels. Any definitive position on our political direction will be communicated formally through official channels at the appropriate time. Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, PhD, FNSE Former Governor, Kano State Former Minster of Defence

@U_Rochas How much is otapiapia again? My dear kindly hug the nearest transformer. If bitterness was a person. You don't respect me but want to ride on my back, my glory to Aso Rock. You must be high on colors...

Kwankwaso, a two-time governor, former senator, and PhD holder, refused to be your vice-presidential candidate in 2023 when the momentum was at its peak. Instead, he suggested that Peter “Chameleon” Obi should secure the South-East, while he would deliver the North-West through Kano for Tinubu. Now, in 2027, when that momentum has faded, he has accepted to be the running mate of the same person he once declined. To make matters more complex, both the presidential candidate and the vice-presidential candidate are essentially newcomers in the party they intend to run under. Senseless people

@bunmi_thompson @Iyoaiye_ Why are you having headaches on 2m vote ticket

@Iyoaiye_ The north will only give Kwankwaso One million votes. The East will give Peter Obi maybe One million votes. And the rest? Peter Obi / Kwankwaso is not a genius idea. Take it to the bank!

BREAKING: Rabiu Kwankwaso has asked his supporters to resign from the ADC ahead of his planned defection to the NDC next week The former NNPP leader, who joined the ADC a few weeks ago, will join the NDC with Peter Obi, who is also expected to announce his defection soon, as both men will be on the presidential ballot on an Obi-Kwankwaso ticket. Additionally, all lawmakers who defected to the ADC from the NNPP are expected to announce their resignations from the party as they will all be moving to the NDC. This move is also being discussed with the lawmakers who defected to the ADC with Peter Obi. Meanwhile, there are last-minute efforts by some of the coalition leaders to halt the planned defections but this is unlikely to be successful as Kwankwaso’s bloc held a meeting with NDC leaders last night to finalise discussions on their planned move. - Journalist KC

@U_Rochas Get a life old man and talk about your Atiku. We want primaries you said no you want Consensus. We say I we don't play money politics you say you have bags full of money. I said bye forever 😭😢😭 why are you crying? x.com/i/status/20504…

Kwankwaso is using “Mr. Chameleon” to advance his 2027 ambition, while “Mr. Chameleon” is using Kwankwaso to convince his f00lish supporters that he must be on the ballot, even though he knows he is likely to lose.

@Pharmacio001 Ode who said Obi is scared of primaries? On you high on some cheap drugs? Obi wants primaries your thin God wants consensus.. We don't play money politics here ok. We are Obidients the one and only APC nightmare. Nigeria will be OK insha Allah x.com/i/status/20504…

What if Atiku decided to join them in the NDC since Peter Obi and Kwankwaso are scared of conducting primaries. Will they run to another party again 😀

@JamiluSufi @PeterObi @atiku Kindly pull this post down because PO wants primaried. Rather it's Atiku that wants a Consensus candidate. x.com/i/status/20504…

Dear H.E. @PeterObi, Take a historical lesson from the 2014 coalition that formed APC. In that primary, Buhari scored 3,430 votes and defeated Atiku (954), Kwankwaso (974), Rochas (624), and others. Today, we have just three serious contenders: @atiku, you, and my Boss @ChibuikeAmaechi. Let’s go to the primary. If you win, we will support you 100%. If we win, support us. No insults. Just pure internal democracy. That’s the directive from our Principal. Let the best man win for Nigeria. #Amaechi2027 #ADCPimary

The ADC wants consensus! Atiku Abubakar wants consensus! Peter Obi wants direct primary! However according to some people, Peter Obi is the one running away from primary🤷. Make it make sense. Let's keep deceiving ourselves in this country. We all know the truth and we all know what we are doing. Nigeria will be OK 🇳🇬 eventually!!

@jrnaib2 This Abdul is as dull as his name unfortunately for u we are smarter. Gaslighting is that you? Take 🪣 you can cry blood if you wish. Selfish things... U want to use OK and deliver Atiku that is supposed to be at the old people's home. Kwankwaso 2031 non negotiable u will bleed.

I do not believe Kwankwaso would destroy his political career by agreeing to be a running mate to someone who, while serving as a Governor in Nigeria, drove Northerners out of his state and forced them to wear identity tags as if they were foreigners. Northerners would never forgive Kwankwaso if he betrayed their trust again in 2027. He has built a strong legacy by standing with Northerners living in Southern states during his time as a Governor and a Senator. I am confident he will not be so gullible as to destroy those legacies; the North needs his support in 2027 more than ever.

@ADCVanguard_ At least NDC is a new party what leadership chaos can Tinubu possibly start in NDC right now? I know he doesn't want OK ticket to run. Ok 2027 📌

JUST IN: Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has reportedly directed his loyal supporters and political allies to begin resigning from the African Democratic Congress, ADC, as preparations intensify for his expected move to the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, next week. The instruction signals a major political transition for the Kwankwasiyya Movement and could mark the beginning of a wider realignment in Nigeria’s opposition space. With Kwankwaso’s structure preparing to move as one bloc, the NDC may soon receive one of the most organized grassroots political movements in the country. Option 2: Political Earthquake Style Political earthquake loading: Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has reportedly asked his supporters to quit the ADC ahead of his expected defection to the NDC next week. This is not just another defection rumour. It is the movement of a political structure. Wherever Kwankwaso goes, the red cap follows, and wherever the red cap lands, political calculations change. The coming days may redefine the opposition map ahead of 2027.

@EzekwesiriIii @HelenNDestiny1 @DaddyB_2023 Anu mpama. Atiku got 6.8m because of PDPs 28 yrs structure. Rabiu will win Atiku at neutral parties because like PO Kwankwaso has organic followers that are not moved by party affiliation. Obi without structure won the election the very reason APC is so scared of him. OK 2027 📌

Daalu, Nnukwu Ada! It is truly painful to watch this singular, shortest, and surest path for Ndigbo to the Villa slip away. The presidency or vice presidency is within reach, yet we risk losing it. Disturbingly, a majority of PO’s most vocal online supporters are APC apologists — sponsored to mislead him. They know the Atiku/Obi ticket is the one combination capable of unseating PBAT before noon on Election Day. That is why they are determined to destabilize every effort at unity. What troubles me most is that Peter Obi seems not to see that the collective interest of our region outweighs personal ambition. The only real cure for our marginalization is political power, and we are closer to it now than we have been in decades. The numbers are clear: Atiku/Obi delivers over 13 million votes; Obi/RMK barely reaches 7.5 million. We must also remember that since the passing of PMB, Atiku Abubakar has emerged as the North’s political leader and inherited that massive base. This is not the time for division. It is the time for strategic alignment. Wake up my people think about our region, politics is not activism

Ụmụnne m Ndi-Igbo, Silence in the face of costly political mistakes is a betrayal of our future. We must confront our leaders with hard truths. Politics is not built on sentiment. It is built on positioning. Look at the present coalition: Atiku Abubakar holds the North, Amaechi carries the South-South, and Peter Obi embodies the mandate of the Southeast. This is not accident. It is deliberate leverage. If Peter Obi walks away from ADC today, we surrender that leverage. We push the Igbo journey to Aso Rock back by another 20 years. We return to square one, begging for relevance. Let it be clear: Ndi-Igbo are not leaving ADC. We entered this vehicle with our eyes open. We are not passengers waiting for direction. We are co-owners laying foundations, consolidating power, and playing the long game. The door is open. Anyone may board. Anyone may alight. But this party is now our home. So why talk of exit when ADC has guaranteed transparent primaries? Peter Obi even nominated the National Organizing Secretary. If popularity is real, let it be tested on an open field. Demanding a ticket without contest is not strategy. It is fear. Our obstacle is not the Fulani, not the Hausa, not Atiku Abubakar. Our obstacle is selfish ambition that trades our collective tomorrow for personal calculation. Every step away from ADC buries an Igbo presidency deeper. And we are not short of credible sons: Sen. Enyinnaya Abaribe, Sen. Austin Akobundu, Gov. Alex Otti, Hon. Emeka Nwajuba, and many more. We refuse to remain spectators. We have paid enough for the miscalculations of 2023. Our properties were destroyed in Lagos. Our businesses were targeted. Our names quietly deleted from the (Lagos) INEC register. Do we risk that again by chasing shadows? Elections are about numbers. There is no credible pathway to victory outside ADC. We move as one. We stand firm. We build for the long term. PDP is dead. LP is dead. ADC is our vehicle now. Ndi-Igbo are staying. Why leave if not fear of primaries? Show us where you are going that is better than ADC. I assure you: most Igbo leaders following you today will desert you the moment you step out of ADC. P O why? Udo diri unu ndi igbo!

@zicomiles @firstladyship LP would have still been in court brother. It's only NDC that is new party that can't be scattered by Tinubu with leadership bro haha. Obi played all of them against all odds Obi ll be in the ballot They only regret is that only a two horse race will defeat Tinubu.

@firstladyship When ADC made David Mark their chairman, I laughed, because David Mark is Atiku’s tool, both of them are greedy, seriously Obi joining th coalition was a big mistake. By now LP would have been a force to reckon with

Wike scattered the PDP because of you. We have a weak opposition because of you. You have no sense of equity. No sense of probity.

@Hescil @uzor_chukwu1 Only Truth you said is that you are IRRELEVANT.

@uzor_chukwu1 He will lose more irrelevant people like me and I hope that makes him the president. Foolish people who can't think politically.

If Peter Obi leaves the ADC coalition, I will stop supporting his political ambitions going forward. In a complex country like Nigeria where religion and ethnicity are entrenched in our politics someone like Peter Obi should by now know how to navigate it. STAY IN THE COALITION.

@Hescil Give me some dose of Peter Obi please. I am a person in the room, I am seen as a second fiddle, almost irrelevant but once I leave they realize how important I am and they start gaslighting me to come back. Who are mine? SAI SUPERSONIC OBI. THE ONLY MAN WITH ORGANIC FOLLOWERS.

@Hescil Ewu 🐐mmmeee

You want to give the North VP as if they are hungry for what they already have. Give the North Presidency and Peter Obi VP and the North will mobilize for ADC. The South East will be the most beneficiary because in 2031 Peter Obi can then contest.

@nze_Anambra @emmaikumeh Ewu 🐐

@emmaikumeh Is the right time ADC as a party do away with both of them and their egos, plan ahead without them, Allow them to go and join another party built by a fellow politician since they don't have the political will to build a party from scratch ADC should allow them to leave

Hmmmm, Peter Obi didn’t post about the Ibadan submit and now didn’t post about ADC’s victory in court yesterday. He hasn't attended any of the meetings of ADC since this week. He and Kwankwaso haven't said a word about it. It seems the rumor about them leaving the ADC might be true. In the coming weeks, we will see what happens 👀

@emmaikumeh You are reposting things from an APC influencer on your wall. I don't need a soothsayer to tell me where you belong. You don't want them out of a sinking ship, rather you want them to stay put so you can laugh at them to scorn 😂. You are a learner when it comes to gaslighting.

@firstladyship Have you ever heard about "delay tactics" ? APC is in charge of the judiciary don't let them fool you. ADC should step up as an opposition or step aside. The aim is to ensure that the OK ticket doesn't see the light of the day APC wants to outsmart us Tick tock says the clock

The Supreme Court has vacated the order that imposed a Status Quo Antebellum on the ADC. David Mark will remain the National Chairman of the ADC (pending the determination of the case at the Federal High Court). This is only the first hurdle. The ADC should shine their eyes.

@Chigozieialex When your enemy gives you advice does it mean he loves you? No, he's only gaslighting you.

It is better to be a VP than to be the "best president Nigeria would have ever had" It's better to be in govt and push for those ideas as VP than doing little charities here & there with personal funds that can't go round It's better to be VP than to be a social media president
