@ADCVanguard_ The way Obi presidency will disappoint Nigerians ehn. That's if Nigerians decide to vote for him thinking that everything will just drop price and everybody becomes filled no more Hunger abi Nigeria will become paradise overnight

Good morning to Nigerians waking up to higher prices again. Same salary. Same struggle. New cost of living. They said “be patient.” But patience doesn’t pay bills. At some point, hardship stops being temporary… and becomes a verdict. Tinubu must go.

@PeterObi The way this Obi presidency will disappoint Nigerians ehn. Thinking Obi will change everything like hunger will just disappear or price of fuel will just drop to 100 naira pre litter Obi is over hyped

This morning, in Lagos, I met with the U.S. Consul General, Mr Rick Swart, where we discussed strengthening the bilateral relationship. We focused on promoting credible elections in Nigeria, ensuring they are free from interference, and fostering a space where all political parties, especially opposition parties can thrive, and contribute. We also discussed trade and business opportunities between our countries. Accompanying me to the meeting was Dr Adefolaseye Adebomi Adebayo. The discussion was very productive, and we are hopeful that, moving forward, Nigeria’s elections will be even more credible and transparent. -PO

@sa_invincible @AishaYesufu @PeterObi Ologbon ni gba owo igunnu why Aisha always about collecting donations is wiser than all the obidiot ni

Dear Aisha @AishaYesufu I have some honest questions to ask you The other day you solicited for donations for the ADC party movement Now since your principal, @PeterObi has left the party & you are still a card carrying member of the party, what would happen to the donations made? 1) Would the funds get transferred from ADC to the new NDC party of Peter Obi? 2) Would the funds remain with Atiku’s ADC? 3) Would the funds be returned back to those that donated since we cannot find a common ground?

@Darleeton3 This obedient guys sha with wishful thinking

@treatpworld You would have go to the nearest first bank and complain

This is the picture of the police criminal gang leader who intercepted me at Ajao junction on Wednesday morning being 22nd of April, 2026 while going to work at exactly 05:55am. I saw a colleague by name Comrade chinedu . As i cleared to pick him up, they double crossed me with korope bus without reg number. They forced my colleague out of my vehicle and forcefully collected my key from me and pushed me to the back seat and three of them jumped inside my vehicle all dressed in police uniform, well armed and one on mask. They drove off and turned under NAHCO bridge and headed towards Mile 2. On getting to Cele express, they cleared before the bridge and forced me to transfer the sum of 200k into a named first Bank acct and this transfer was made at gunpoint at exactly 6 29am.Immediately they confirmed the alert, they all jumped down from my vehicle and fled into their korope and zoomed off towards Mile 2. Attached below is the receipt of transaction and the picture of their leader. I reported the incident at the police station, showing them the picture of the gang's team lead but the Nigerian police force has not been forthcoming in their investigation. ✍🏽Aare Feyisayo

@moonlightbreaks @SirDavidBent Zombie is noted

“Peter Obi is desperate and he's changing party up and down.” Mind you, this same Peter Obi can simply decide not to contest for the Presidency and he will be 100% fine. Man is already rich. Then there's you, still struggling to pay the debt of the three cups of rice you took from Iya Bashiru. In the last four years, you have basically lived from hand to mouth, with your purchasing power now a long lost fairytale. If you like, don't get 2027 right. You're not doing Peter Obi, he will be fine. You're doing yourself.

@SirDavidBent Supporting party is a right, being hungry is also a right, you can force anybody to be filled if that's his/her choice Nigeria belongs to all of us individuals have a right to choose whom to vote for the most important thing in Nigeria and no one person can change that

@Mallam_jabeer Out of school problem in north is not for any presidents to solve even Obi is not coming to solve it. Hold your governors responsible

16 million out of school children in the North, rising insecurity, deepening hunger and poverty, growing unemployment and still some people are insisting that power must remain in the North. For what please? First of all, the attacks on Mr. Peter Obi are purely political not factual. Purely fabricated just to tarnish his image simply because he wants to be the president of Nigeria. The same man trusted as a VP candidate in 2019 is now suddenly unfit because he wants to lead? That contradiction exposes the game simply showing nothing but pure hypocrisy. That aside...... On leaving ADC, it was a strategic and necessary decision, a party trapped in legal uncertainty with clear signs of external interference cannot guarantee a credible path forward. Add to that, the absence of internal democracy where a few powerful figures try to impose candidates instead of allowing a fair process, hmmmmm the choice becomes obvious. No serious reformer will submit his ambition to a manipulated system. Don’t be angry at Mr. Peter Obi for stepping away, direct that anger where it belongs; a broken political structure and those who believe power is their personal inheritance. Nigeria needs competence, fairness and accountability not entitlement. Think. Just think.. Keep thinking...

@Pharmacio001 Obi done dey go mosque now

Peter Obi may think he can once again use religion to secure the presidency, just as he attempted in 2023. What he may not understand, however, is that the dynamics have completely changed. In 2023, many Christians were apprehensive about Tinubu’s Muslim–Muslim ticket, which led to a strong, collective response, i.e, religiously voting for the only Christian candidate in the person of Mr Peter Obi. Their assumption was that Muslim voters would split their votes between Ahmed Tinubu and Atiku Abubakar, creating an opportunity for them to secure the highest number of votes. I don’t blame them. That’s the beauty of democracy. It’s their right, and frankly, I would do the same. I’m also sure that if a Christian presidential candidate were to choose a Christian running mate, Muslim voters would respond in a similar way. However, despite the unprecedented level of religiously driven voting pattern, Peter Obi still came third, behind Tinubu’s Muslim–Muslim ticket and Atiku’s Muslim–Christian ticket. Which is a very strong message to him and to those who pushed him. Now that Tinubu is in power and appears to be managing relationships with Christian clerical leadership effectively, even, some would argue, favouring them over the Muslim clerics who openly campaigned for him, Peter Obi would be mistaken to expect the same level of religious momentum as in 2023. Tinubu’s wife is a Christian, and a church pastor for that matter, and is seen as engaging well and openly with Christian communities. This will likely be a factor Obi must contend with when approaching Christian clerical establishments. That’s regarding his primary base. Now let’s look at Kwankwaso, who secured 1.4 million votes in 2023 and is now rumoured to be a potential running mate to Peter Obi. A significant portion of his supporters may shift towards Atiku for two main reasons: First, Kwankwaso would no longer be the presidential candidate, and many of his supporters may not be willing to back Peter Obi simply because Kwankwaso is his running mate. The ‘makafi’ among his voters may not account for up to 30% of his previous votes. Second, although there was dissatisfaction with the APC in 2023, there wasn’t a strong, unified opposition vote, especially in the North. This was partly because Tinubu had not yet been tested, and partly because his Muslim–Muslim ticket received relatively little resistance. As a result, many Northern voters who supported Kwankwaso did so with a degree of indifference. They recognised him as a spoiler candidate but voted for him anyway, as they were largely unconcerned about whether Tinubu or Atiku would win. Now, however, the situation appears different. Fewer voters may be willing to waste their votes on candidates perceived as spoilers, especially if they believe such votes could indirectly support Tinubu’s re-election at the expense of broader national interests. Las las, Atiku may still have an advantage over both Tinubu and a potential Obi–Kwankwaso ticket. The Muslim–Muslim strategy may not be as effective this time, and the level of religiously driven voting seen in 2023 in favour of Peter may not be repeated. In the end, Atiku could consolidate support in the North and gain a reasonable share from the South and West, by positioning himself as the national candidate that he is, and potentially emerging the next President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, God willing.

@Micheal58598542 @ruffydfire What is right is run away from primary

Apga, Pdp, LP,ADC, NDC

@HonShield Do you want them to be sad or what

Getting information there’s so much jubilation in different APC whatsapp groups. Why?

@Zubby__Michael He wants free ticket

Why did Peter obi leave ADC, can someone tell me what’s actually happening?

@Jetlin_Autos @im_supanova @sowore @ingeniousabbey @PeterObi Is like you no have sense of your own abi zombie ni e ni

@im_supanova @sowore @ingeniousabbey @PeterObi Na sowore be the savior now? U go cry blaad Anywhere obi goes we move💯

Last week, @PeterObi was at an “opposition summit” in Ibadan. We said it clearly then these unprincipled drifters and their structure of criminality have nothing to offer besides empty words. But a majority of his brainwashed supporters couldn’t handle the truth. Now @Peterobi the captain of the gravy train has moved yet again, and those who were misled will once more follow the most directionless political opportunist to ever exist in this clime. #AACOurParty

@ruffydfire And the zombies are following him to anywhere he goes

Fellow Nigerians, good morning. I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you. Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances. We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal. More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism. We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power. Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise. Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them. However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building. Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated. And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions. There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline? Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from. Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@KwankwasoRM So all this ok is a joke abi propaganda

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

@EzekwesiriIii Is like dey don't use your head PhD

Honoring the Balance: Why the North Must Complete Its Term in 2027 The Arithmetic of Injustice When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu completes this term, the Southwest will have held power for 12 years. The South, in total, will have held it for 18 years. If the South claims another four years, that becomes 22 years of Southern leadership against 10 years for the North in this Fourth Republic. 22 years to 10 is not just lopsided. It is unjust. This is not emotion. It is equity. It is the moral math that holds a fragile federation together. The Correction, Not Concession Ordinarily, the North should return to the presidency in 2027 and serve out the eight years interrupted by fate. This is not a favor to the North. It is a correction of a national imbalance. It is not agitation. It is alignment with the unwritten protocol that has kept Nigeria stable since 1999. The Unfinished Term of Yar’Adua President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua was sworn in with hope, but illness struck barely a year into office. His death was a personal tragedy and a national disruption. It broke the natural rhythm of zoning and left the North with a six-year deficit. President Goodluck Jonathan completed that term and went on to win another. The South, in effect, held what was the North’s time. If the North had demanded Jonathan step aside after Yar’Adua’s term, it would have been branded as heartless. The North chose peace over provocation. It chose unity over insistence. That sacrifice must now be acknowledged, not erased. Silence Does Not Heal Imbalance That the North has been short-changed by eight years is a fact. Silence will not erase it. Avoidance will not cure it. Blackmailing the North or dismissing its case only deepens the wound. True leadership confronts this deficit now, before it becomes tomorrow’s crisis. Obasanjo’s Protocol: The Precedent of Healing When the military handed over in 1999, the shadow of June 12 and the injustice to MKO Abiola still hung over the nation. To heal the polity, power was deliberately zoned to the Southwest. That was not charity. It was statecraft. President Olusegun Obasanjo served eight years and ensured power returned North. In 2007, Governor Peter Odili was the most prepared candidate, yet Obasanjo prioritized national balance over regional preference. He could have argued that decades of Northern military rule should count against the region. He did not. He chose nation over narrative. That is “Obasanjo’s Protocol.” Rotation is not just arithmetic. It is a stabilizer for a plural country. Imperfect, but it has prevented deeper fractures. This Is About Principle, Not Persons The presidency is not Atiku Abubakar’s personal gift to dispense. It is a national trust shaped by history and equity. The North’s case is not about one man. It is about a collective eight-year deficit that must be settled. Each time Atiku ran, the Southeast was on the ticket with him. The intent was inclusion. Having worked with General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua and President Obasanjo, the disposition has always been toward stability, fairness, and continuity. The Danger of Perceived Dominance No federation survives prolonged perception of sectional dominance. The effects are not always immediate, but they are inevitable: resentment, distrust, and eventual rupture. To let the North complete its interrupted eight years is to reinforce fairness. It is to show that even unwritten agreements matter. It is to prove Nigeria can correct itself without conflict. To the South: Equity Is Your Shield Too This is not North versus South. This is democracy versus disintegration. If zoning protected the Southwest in 1999, it must protect the North in 2027. If equity mattered then, it must matter now. And in that same spirit, the Southeast is equally entitled to eight uninterrupted years, not four, when its turn comes. Equity must be our culture, not our convenience. A Proposition Rooted in Peace

@Eze_Wilberforce This nah lambrudeen

Obi and Dickson had a meeting last year. Dickson went ahead and formed the NDC. Obi knew Tinubu would try to shatter the ADC coalition, so he moved ahead of time. El-Rufai said last December that the ADC coalition was just a temporary solution. These men are several steps ahead of Tinubu this time. Now both Obi and Kwankwaso have defected to the NDC. El-Rufai will join them next week. Atiku and Tinubu didn’t see it coming.

@HonShield My take is that if another government come are we going to buy it 40k if yes let them tell us now and how are they going to do it sebi I no mention name now let no one abuse me

A carton of Titus fish is N170,000! It was N40K under Buhari. If you want Tinubu to return as President, ogun l’oma Pa e.

@gsbabatunde Ehn! All of them are working unknownly for tinubu fa

"Atiku is working for Tinubu" "Kwankwaso is working for Tinubu" "Amaechi is working for Tinubu" "Babachir is working for Tinubu" "Aregbesola is working for Tinubu" "Malami is working for Tinubu" "El-Rufai is working for Tinubu" "David Mark is working for Tinubu" "Obi is working for Tinubu" Who in that God-forsaken Coalition is not working for Tinubu????

@AkinlabiAdekola It's ante bellum period

) Nafiu gombe went to the high court to restrain David mark and others from parading themselves as executives of the party. 2) The high court asked the David mark team to present their case and state why the order should not be granted 3) Instead David mark ignored and headed to the Appeal court to challenge the case. 4) The appeal court ordered Ante bellum and INEC removed David mark name from the register 5) David Mark went further to the supreme court to challenge ante bellum. 6) Supreme court voids ante bellum order by the appeal court and ordered David mark back to the high court for trial. 7) ADC people are celebrating and I am amazed especially because of the time constraint in the electoral act. 8) Why did you waste your time all along only to return to where you were at the beginning. 9) This is like a snake and ladder game where a bite returs you to the bottom while the other players have almost finished to game. 10) Again why are they jubilating?
