This video explains why the ADC is set to secure a favorable Supreme Court judgment today. Ladan Salihu has effectively checkmated Nafi'u and his sponsors, leaving them with no political lifeline 😅

Just In: Godwin Obaseki joins ADC

Atiku faults counting of unmarked ballot papers, demands Electoral Act amendment Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has faulted a section of the Electoral Act that allows a ballot paper without an official mark to be counted at the discretion of a returning officer, demanding immediate amendment by the national assembly.  In a statement by Phrank Shaibu, his senior special assistant on public communication, Abubakar described Section 63 of the Act as a grave and dangerous ambiguity. thecable.ng/atiku-faults-c…

ADC held their convention against all odds. Impressive!

For the first time in his presidency, Tinubu has shown signs that he is jittery

The INEC chairman, Prof. Amupitan should resign

Also this afternoon, I visited the National Chairman of our great party, ADC, Senator David Mark, at his residence in Abuja. It was a courtesy call that provided an opportunity to share ideas on how to further strengthen the ADC and restore confidence in Nigeria’s democracy. -AA

This is outrageous!

According to Kenneth Okonkwo tonight, every Presidential aspirant in ADC has agreed to support the candidate that emerges at the primaries regardless of the outcome. Interesting.

The irony of an APC guy calling hard working & tax paying Nigerians who have legitimate birth certificates & legitimate school certificates, frauds.

I just arrived at the New Event Hall, Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, for the Tambuwal Colloquium—Leadership, Service and Statesmanship at 60, to mark the 60th birthday of H.E. Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, @AWTambuwal, Mutawallen Sokoto. -AA

Boom 💥 Obedient will come out online shouting na only Obi can unseat Tinubu. While Obi too knows that without Atiku he no fit do anything in 2027.

In Defence of Truth; Abati, Rufai, and the Burden of Honest Commentary I have listened attentively to the recent political commentary by Dr Reuben Abati and Rufai Oseni on ARISE TV’s morning show, particularly their forthright assessments of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. Any fair-minded Nigerian who followed that conversation without prejudice would agree that Dr Abati’s postulations were grounded in reason, experience, and a deep understanding of Nigeria’s political contradictions. Dr Reuben Abati is not a neophyte in public affairs. He is an accomplished journalist whose professional roots are firmly planted in the print media, where intellectual rigour, fact-checking, and clarity of thought are non-negotiable. His transition into broadcast journalism has been nothing short of remarkable. Through incisive questioning, layered analysis, and a consistent refusal to pander to power, Abati has earned his place as one of the most respected voices in contemporary Nigerian media. His public service record further reinforces this credibility. As spokesperson to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Abati discharged his duties with diligence and tact during one of the most politically charged periods in Nigeria’s recent history. His tenure was not only eventful but impactful, culminating in a formal presidential letter of commendation. Those who seek to rewrite that record do so not from evidence, but from mischief or envy. It is therefore hardly surprising that Abati’s current commentary on Nyesom Wike has provoked discomfort in certain quarters. When analysis is sharp and factual, it often touches raw nerves either of devoted followers or of the subjects themselves. Attempts to denigrate Abati personally are, in reality, evasions a way of dodging the substance of his arguments. Abati’s own political foray, particularly his role as deputy governorship candidate of the PDP in Ogun State, was conducted with decorum. He emerged as a dominant intellectual force in that contest, bringing ideas rather than invective to the table. The recurring allegation about his association with the late Buruji Kashamu is intellectually lazy. Politics is about alliances, not sainthood. Abati is neither a court of law nor a moral tribunal. Those who rush to indict him on that basis would do well to examine the moral baggage carried by their own political principals who suffer same or similar accusations like Kashamu before casting stones. Equally troubling is the attempt to divert attention from Rufai Oseni’s arguments by resorting to personal insults and body shaming. Rufai’s physical appearance has no bearing on the validity of his analysis. Such attacks betray the poverty of counterargument. Rufai has consistently demonstrated courage, professionalism, and an unflinching commitment to asking the questions many would rather avoid. To mock his form or stature is to embark on a wild goose chase, substituting ridicule for reason. At the heart of this debate is a larger issue: the place of responsible journalism in a fragile democracy. Nigeria does not need cheerleaders for power; it needs interrogators of power. Dr Reuben Abati and Rufai Oseni represent a tradition of media practice that insists on accountability, context, and courage. Disagreeing with them is legitimate; attempting to silence or demean them is not. As citizens, Nigerians must resist the temptation to personalise political debates. Ideas should be contested with better ideas, arguments with stronger arguments. When commentary is reduced to insults and insinuations, public discourse suffers. To “arise,” in the truest sense, is to defend credible journalism and protect spaces where truth can be spoken without fear or favour. In standing firm, voices like Abati’s and Rufai’s remind us that democracy is not sustained by silence, but by principled dissent.

When Wike Learned Silence For perhaps the first time in his combative political career, Nyesom Wike tasted a humiliation he could neither shout down nor bluster away. Accustomed to browbeating elders, mocking opponents, and reducing statesmen to objects of abuse, the former Rivers governor and current FCT minister met his match in Sen John Mbata and was rendered unusually tame. In the now-viral video that triggered this moment of reckoning, Mbata did what few have dared: he called Wike exactly what he thought of him without fear, without apology. The language was raw, unfiltered, and devastating. And strikingly, Wike could not respond in kind. Instead of his trademark verbal violence, Nigerians watched a subdued man clutching at credentials and recycling tired boasts. What provoked Wike’s irritation was not merely Mbata’s words, but Mbata’s actions. The former senator mobilised the Obio-Akpor community to endorse Gov Siminalayi Fubara. That act cut deeply. Obio-Akpor is not just any local government; it is Wike’s home base, the political nursery from which he rose. Seeing his own people publicly reject his authority was a blow no amount of shouting could cure. While touring Rivers State preaching the gospel of “correcting leadership mistakes” ahead of 2027, Wike found himself corrected instead by history, by community sentiment, and by a man who once fed him. A man who is the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide. Cornered, Wike retreated to his usual refuge: self-glorification. He reeled out his political résumé, accused Mbata of benefiting from contracts during his tenure, and demanded to know what Mbata achieved during his years in the Senate. It was a weak defence. Public service is not a shouting contest, and governance is not validated by how loudly one advertises oneself. Mbata, unlike Wike, never claimed to be a miracle worker. He served as a legislator, enacted laws, and at one point even presided over the Senate in an acting capacity. Those laws quiet, institutional, and enduring created the environment in which executive actors like Wike later operated and thrived. Legislators build the floor; executives dance on it. More damning, however, is the history Wike would rather erase. Mbata was not merely a political associate. He was the benefactor who paid school fees, provided food, and offered a lifeline at a time when Wike’s prospects were uncertain. He introduced him to Dr Peter Odili, not as a rising star, but as a former houseboy deserving of a chance. That introduction led to Wike’s selection as local government chairman the first rung on a ladder that eventually led to the Government House. Had Mbata been spiteful, that ladder would have collapsed at Obio-Akpor. Instead, he acted in good faith, without foresight of what Wike would later become. Contracts awarded years later cannot replace kindness given when there was nothing to gain. To publicly denigrate such a man is not strength; it is ingratitude. And when Wike celebrated being called a “gentleman,” he betrayed more than confusion. The reference, clearly drawn from Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s ironic lyric I no be gentleman at all oh, was not praise but satire. Missing that context only reinforced the criticism of intellectual shallowness and semi-illiteracy. Power has finally forced Wike into silence. And for a man who built his image on insult and intimidation, silence is the loudest verdict of all.

I remember when AA was carrying this Wike-sized cross on behalf of the PDP. The so-called leaders of the party allowed him to carry that cross alone, and watched as he was disrespected and harassed verbally by people who can’t lace his shoes. People who they bow down when they see him and can’t even look him in his eyes. But since AA left the party, what has happened to the party called PDP? A steady and perfectly predicted disintegration. Now that it has touched everybody, my heart smiles with glee. I’m not an angel. It’s okay for my bitterness at the way AA was treated in that party over the past few years to be healed in this way.

Lmfaoooooo Where has a party ever disowned someone coming to the party? So ADC don’t want popular people again? 😭😭
