@HAHayatu It would be foolish for the coalition to allow a person with ties to the APC to oversee the country's election.

Biased INEC chairman befir appointed 2023, honestly Amupitan must be sacked o

INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Ojo Amupitan is a renowned APC member. His X (formerly Twitter) account from 2022 has surfaced, & he openly supported Tinubu at the last election. His account name was recently changed. Joash Amupitan has locked his X Account. A partisan INEC Chairman has no business presiding over our elections, & he must resign immediately. @joashamupitan was recently changed to @Sundayvibe00. The account is now private. I expect the ADC to take this up immediately.

@Daughterof71095 @Teboho_Afrique @Hhonor_ SA has one of Africa’s highest tax-to-GDP ratios, yet 70% of citizens rate the government poorly on water, roads, and power (Afrobarometer 2026). Less-resourced nations like Rwanda deliver better results. On paper, there are "freebies," but the reality is zero.

@Refreshingtruth @Teboho_Afrique @Hhonor_ Those people in shacks have kids who go to school, free University, free allowances every month at University, job security after the government pays for the University 😂 they have grants. Free hospitals, clinics, free housing

It's funny how we can bant and insult south Africans, but we can never say they have a bad government

Amupitan is Senior Advocate of Nigeria and a Professor of Law. He clearly knows very well that the court has no jurisdiction on intra party affairs, as per the electoral Act. He also knows what status quo ante bellum means, which is status quo before the case was brought before the court. He is compromised and must resign. Amupitan is an APC asset.

Amupitan has to resign. Those posts are too recent. He is an Agbado member. That's why he intentionally misinterpreted a court order. The ADC should refuse anything that will make Amupitan remain as the INEC chairman.

@Teboho_Afrique @Hhonor_ How can your government be characterised as superior to others on the continent, given that South Africa remains the most unequal society in the world, where 2% of the population controls the nation’s assets while the majority resides in informal settlements or shacks?

@Refreshingtruth @Hhonor_ Our government is far better than Nigerian and most African countries', but we still demand better from them. We are in SA making sure they deliver services. See how the ANC lost Elections in the last National Elections and only came back through coalitions, Tinubu is in charge..

@Mindset_Spaces The court's intent is not to paralyse the political party. INEC's action to remove ADC leadership aligns with APC's goal to cripple the coalition, preventing it from fielding candidates to challenge them.

OUR LAWS AND DEMOCRACY MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL TIMES The Nigerian Bar Association has closely monitored recent political and legal developments as the nation gradually approaches the 2027 General Elections. These developments, particularly those arising from the interpretation and potential application of provisions of the Electoral Act 2026, raise serious constitutional, democratic, and rule-of-law concerns that require immediate intervention. We particularly deprecate the disturbing involvement by lawyers and courts in the internal affairs of political parties despite the clear provisions of the Electoral Act, 2026, which stipulates in Section 83 of the Act that “No court in Nigeria shall entertain jurisdiction over any suit or matter pertaining to the internal affairs of a political party.” Not only are courts denied jurisdiction to entertain any matter pertaining to the internal affairs of a political party, but they are also precluded from granting any interim or interlocutory injunction even where any action has been brought in violation of the Act. The section further provides that “Where such an action is brought in negation of this provision, no interim or interlocutory injunction shall be entertained by the Court, but the Court shall suspend its ruling and deliver it at the stage of final judgment and shall give accelerated hearing to the matter”. What we now see are situations where actions are not only instituted in Courts by lawyers in clear violation of the Act, but Courts purportedly grant interim and/or interlocutory injunctions in clear contempt of statutory provisions of the law. This does not augur well for our democracy. Democracy will not thrive in a situation where lawyers and courts take actions and decisions that not only negate our laws but also do violence to them. This emerging trend of subverting the clear letters of the Electoral Act and dragging courts into the internal affairs of political parties through disingenuous litigation, forum shopping, and malafide applications designed to secure undemocratic political advantage, bodes no good for our democracy. Such practices, if not immediately curbed, would directly contradict the clear intendment of the Electoral Act and risk transforming the judicial processes into avenues for political score-settling or electoral manipulation. We must reiterate that these provisions were clearly designed to curb abuse of court processes and discourage forum shopping in political disputes. This is therefore why the NBA is concerned that the abuse, misapplication, or selective deployment of these provisions may create opportunities for manipulation capable of undermining democratic competition and shrinking the political space. Members of the Bar are reminded that they are Ministers in the Temple of Justice and not political agents seeking judicial endorsement of partisan objectives. The filing of actions intended to draw courts into internal political party disputes, particularly where jurisdiction is expressly excluded, constitutes an abuse of court process and a violation of professional responsibility. The NBA will take firm steps to deter such conduct. Lawyers who deliberately file actions aimed at procuring judicial interference in intra-party affairs, or who seek ex parte or interlocutory orders in clear violation of statutory provisions, risk facing disciplinary proceedings. We will not hesitate to present petitions before the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) against any Legal Practitioner found to be engaging in such conduct. This will be pursued decisively to serve as a deterrent and to preserve the sanctity of the judicial process. The Nigerian judiciary must stay vigilant and resist being drawn into political theatrics. Courts should firmly decline invitations, no matter how artfully crafted, to intervene in matters the law explicitly bars them from.

@cuzoma9777 @OloriOfOloris Like every other ethnic group in Nigeria, the Igbo are mostly dark-skinned. That a few light-skinned people exist in all our ethnic groups does not make them the majority. Light skin is not a trophy. There is nothing special about it.

@Refreshingtruth @OloriOfOloris You saw just one clip then starts to move mad and to generalize. My grand uncle ( I hope that's the right word for Grandpa's brother) was light skinned to the extent that they white took him along with them back then. They kept on wondering how he acquired his skin.

NO TRIBE IN NIGERIA IS MOSTLY LIGHT SKINNED. Nigerians are black people ffs.

@islemonjuice Most of the loudest Pan-Africanists are Islamists or Arabists. For that reason, Pan-Africanism is a pipe dream. It will not work. The Islamists have hijacked it in a bid to reshape the continent in their own image.

To find a Pan African that is not Jihadist at heart is so rare. Their main mission is to islamize Africa. Ask her why she is not living her sharia infested country Somalia, she will give you excuses of how it was the white man's fault that made her to decide to live in a western world. very unserious people.

@PrincyKenna @AzatAlsalim @realannclaret The problem lies in the religion itself. It drives fundamentalism and extremism to extreme levels in its followers.

@AzatAlsalim @realannclaret If your religion prohibits pork, why choose to compete on MasterChef in a country where pork is commonly used in cooking? 🤷‍♂️ the delusional from these muslims people is coming something else

Soko, a Muslim contestant on MasterChef Spain, refuses to cook pork: "For me, my religion is more important than anything else." The judges send her straight to elimination: "Here, you come to cook everything."

@GodknowsMercy @AzatAlsalim The problem lies in the religion itself. It drives fundamentalism and extremism to extreme levels in its followers.

@AzatAlsalim Their religion comes before everything including human lives…disgusting

@NigeriaStories This government has borrowed trillions of Naira. Where is the money going, if most sectors still remain unfunded?

BREAKING: Nigerian Airspace Management Agency warns that the country could soon lose its ability to effectively monitor aircraft within its airspace due to ageing radar infrastructure.

What is happening in Nigeria should be a big lesson to other African countries. Never allow a criminal become the president of your country. Do all you can to prevent such from happening.
