I REJECT THE CONCOCTED RESULTS OF THE ADC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES Following reports of widespread voter disenfranchisement in most parts of the country during the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Primaries yesterday, I unequivocally reject the concocted results being announced. I had initially stated that I will only accept the outcome of the Primaries if the process was free, fair, and transparent, and I stand by my word. I will not accept results from a process that does not reflect the values that the ADC had pledged to uphold, to rescue Nigerians from the impunity and gross mismanagement that our country is currently facing in the hands of the ruling party. There’s no way that about eighty percent of members of the party were not allowed to vote, and you expect me to accept such results. Then what makes us different from the others? The whole idea of the ADC was to give the Nigerian people a platform, to amplify the voices of the downtrodden, and make Nigeria a better place for everyone irrespective of backgrounds, ethnicity, or religion. A party that criticizes the ruling APC and INEC for vote buying, rigging and writing of results, cannot be engaged in vote buying, writing of results, and other electoral malpractices that leads to the disenfranchisement of voters who are party members. This is not acceptable! - Rt Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi

If you want to have a good laugh and also feel sad this morning, go to the Cruise channel on Youtube and watch this debate. 1 Tinubu supporter vs 20 opposition supporters. Yes, the youth talk with passion but conversations are often devoid of core principles and knowledge. The young people have a lot to learn about governance structure, economics, public finance, and government policies. This is failure on the part of the NOA and the APC. Political parties aren't just established to win elections. Parties are meant to educate young voters and keep them informed. Uninformed voters are a negative to democracy. The APC after several years should have solid Policy and governance platforms in our universities, a mini NESG. Chief Obafemi Awolowo did this with the UPN. The APC youth leader is busy chasing politicians around and playing PS 5. He doesn't participate in twitter spaces, he does impact knowledge or advocate for policy shifts. I haven't seen any article or policy paper authored by him. A complete waste of space.
