A wise man said to me:
“If you cannot defeat Atiku in a primary election, you certainly cannot defeat Tinubu in a general election.”

@OfficialAzzaki Not only Obi, in the near future I'll never vote Rabiu Musa kwankwaso
English
Is because Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Waziri of Adamawa, is that he is from the North East, which is why people from the North West do not like him, I swear.
From today, I have stopped liking any politician from the North West. Dan uwarsu

Nafiu Bala Gombe just further trashed the ADC illegal elective convention. The ADC quagmire worsens. No pity for the SPV renters: Atiku, Obi, Aregbesola, Mark, Alhaji Kwankwaso.

@CrayonJuls @SodiqTade Oludo Obi won't get Northern votes as you think if he pick kwankwaso as his running mate, you guys you'll learn politics in the hard way
English
The political facts are;
- Peter Obi can't win a state in North East without Atiku.
- Atiku can't win a state in South East without Obi.
- Obi can't win a state in North West without Atiku.
- Atiku can't win a State in South South without Obi.
Their political fate is tied.

@ElderStatesMaan @MSIngawa By the time Tinubu finished his 8 years, Obi presidency is gone even VP tickets won't get, you guys should think for your head not anus

@MSIngawa It’s better we watch Tinubus second term inauguration. Atiku is a failed hustler. He should be a national leader at best. He can rest
English
I am a Northerner and I am telling you for free that all this momentum for ADC in the North is because they think it’s Atiku’s time.
Most dont even know Peter Obi.
So, if you really are thinking of any ticket other than Atiku leading, just do your TV subscription to watch Tinubu’s 2nd term inauguration🤓

INEC TASKS YOUTHS ON ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN CVR, WARNS AGAINST APATHY
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has intensified stakeholder engagement with Nigerian youths, urging them to take full advantage of the ongoing Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise as a critical step toward strengthening democratic participation and national development.
The event, convened by NYSC corps member and INEC advocate, Magaji Ndagi, focused on enhancing youth participation in the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) process under the theme “Enhancing Youth Engagement in Continuous Voter Registration.”
The forum had in attendance representatives of the Commission, the Federal Ministry of Youth Development, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), as well as students and corps members.
Speaking on behalf of the Chairman of the Commission, the National Commissioner, Mallam Mohammad Kudu Haruna, who also chaired the occasion, underscored the constitutional and legal foundations underpinning voter registration in Nigeria.
He noted that the right of citizens to choose their leaders is guaranteed under the Constitution, while the Electoral Act provides clear conditions for voter eligibility and procedures for registration.
“A credible voters’ register remains the foundation of every free, fair, and credible election,” he stated, stressing that only citizens who are duly registered are empowered to exercise their franchise.
Providing an update on the CVR exercise, Haruna explained that the first phase commenced in August and ended in December, while the ongoing second phase, which began in January, is scheduled to close shortly, to be followed by a final phase.
He further highlighted statutory timelines, noting that voter registration must end at least 90 days before any general election to allow for data processing, verification, and production of Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVCs).
Citing recent figures, he disclosed that millions of Nigerians have registered so far, with youth constituting a significant proportion, but emphasised that the numbers still fall short of expectations when compared to the demographic strength of young people.
Delivering the keynote address on behalf of the Honourable Minister of Youth Development, Dr. Obinna Obirim conveyed the Minister’s strong commendation of the convener, describing the initiative as a model of youth-driven leadership and civic responsibility.
He noted that Nigeria’s youth population, which constitutes over 50 percent of the total population, holds the decisive power to shape democratic outcomes and national development.
“Democracy does not thrive on silence. It does not grow through indifference, nor through mere expressions on social media. It flourishes when citizens actively participate,” he stated.
Dr. Obirim emphasised that voter registration remains the most fundamental step in democratic participation, warning that failure to register effectively excludes individuals from influencing governance.
“Your voice does not count by merely expressing opinions online. It begins when you register and is affirmed when you vote,” he added.
He expressed concern that despite their numerical strength, many young Nigerians remain disengaged from the electoral process, often limiting their participation to commentary rather than action.
The Minister, through his representative, urged youths to transition from passive observers to active contributors, mobilising themselves and their peers to participate in the CVR exercise and elections.
He also highlighted several youth empowerment initiatives of the Federal Ministry of Youth Development, including digital skills programmes, data protection training, and entrepreneurship support schemes, encouraging young people to take advantage of such opportunities.

Earlier in his welcome address, the convener of the forum, Mr. Magaji Ndagi, described the gathering as a movement aimed at inspiring young Nigerians to take ownership of their future through active civic engagement.
“Continuous voter registration is more than obtaining a voter card; it is about giving yourself a voice, being counted, and taking responsibility for the leadership of your country,” he said.
He encouraged youths to move beyond apathy and become active participants in the democratic process, noting that failure to register amounts to surrendering their future to others.
In a vote of thanks, the Director of Voter Registry, Mr. Tunde Gafar, expressed appreciation to all stakeholders and participants for their contributions to the success of the forum. He commended the convener for the initiative and encouraged continued collaboration in promoting voter registration and active participation in the electoral process, particularly among young people.

REBUTTAL:
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did not copy its recent press statement from any third party.
Any circulation of the statement outside the Commission’s official channels was done independently and not coordinated by INEC.
The publication by Peoples Gazette titled “Nigerians react as INEC reposts Tinubu aide’s message” is fake, misleading, and a misrepresentation of facts. gazettengr.com/nigerians-reac…
INEC’s repost of the statement was solely to amplify accurate information earlier released from the Commission and should not be misconstrued as alignment with any individual or political office holder.
The Commission remains strictly non-partisan and urges the public to disregard misleading interpretations of its actions.

Please, my tweet asking Grok about the alleged INEC Chairman Twitter account should not be misinterpreted as a defense of him. I am not in any position to defend INEC or its leadership. I simply asked Grok to verify what I saw trending on this platform.

PRESS STATEMENT
POSTPONEMENT OF NATIONWIDE VOTER REVALIDATION EXERCISE
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) held a meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) today, Friday, 10th April 2026, during which, among other issues, the proposed nationwide voter revalidation exercise was considered.
Following deliberations, the Commission resolved to postpone the exercise until after the 2027 General Election.
The voter revalidation exercise is a critical component of the Commission’s mandate to maintain a credible and up-to-date National Register of Voters. It is designed to verify and review existing voter records, ensure the accuracy of personal data, eliminate duplicate and ineligible entries, and strengthen the overall integrity of the voter register. The exercise also aims to provide an opportunity for registered voters to confirm their details and make necessary corrections where required.
INEC remains committed to the conduct of free, fair, credible, and inclusive elections.
