Yes, reform is loud But, as Nigerians, we need to be honest with ourselves. The problems we lived with for years were even louder. We just got used to them. The waste, the inefficiency, and the struggle to make simple things work; it became our normal. Now that things are being fixed under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, it won’t be quiet or easy. Real change never is. The noise you hear today is the sound of difficult but necessary change. Nation-building is not a quiet process. It demands courage, sacrifice, and honesty. And while reform may be uncomfortable for Nigerians, it is the only path to lasting stability and shared prosperity for all Nigerians. As of now, the opposition has not told us the alternatives to fuel subsidy removal. They are yet to tell the available option to FX rates reconciliation. They are yet to present a counter offer to young Nigerians on Nelfund's student loan, amongst many others They took us to Egypt during their days. Imagine where a congregation of them all in one place would further take us.

I said this 6 months ago and if you want to know why ADC is more confused than the mad man that used to advise Gregory, here are the facts; 1. A party where everybody wants to be president (selfish) cannot build a virile opposition 2. A party built on hostile take-over cannot survive the storm 3. A party where the members have double standards that they apply to people cannot see road 4. A party where the presidential aspirants have changed political parties like chameleon cannot have ideology 5. A party where their leaders see Nigerians as a means to an end cannot coordinate 6. A party where their leaders’s desperation is a do or die affair cannot govern Nigerians Finally, have you not noticed that they are more confused now than they were when their journey started? I said it before, “give them six months and they would come crashing”; it is evident before our very eyes. Say no to association of desperate congregation (ADC)

"This speech by Nafiu Bala Gombe at INEC headquarters today has left me speechless. I can't tell what language he's speaking. I've caught a few stray English phrases fighting for survival, but the rest sound like a rotating medley of Dutch, Double Dutch, Hausa, Yoruba, Latin and what I can only assume is a live reenactment of the Tower of Babel mid-collapse. If he is being used, as some people allege, then the people using him must be profoundly embarrassed. Many 6-year-olds in Nigeria can read a basic script with more coherence and dignity than Nafiu. If you can’t competently read a prepared speech written in plain, unambiguous English, what business do you have fighting to chair a national party?" Prof Farooq Kperogi
