@Karigwe @NigeriaNDCHQ Even it the form is N200, u will not be able to afford it

NDC, this is bad. Really bad. How can you call yourself a people’s party when the people cannot even afford to run for office under your platform? ₦2.5 million for State House of Assembly. ₦6 million for House of Representatives. ₦8 million for Senate. ₦30 million for Governorship. ₦60 million for Presidency. This is not democracy at all, democracy is supposed to be a government by the people for the people but this one is just for the elites. This is nothing but a way to stop ordinary Nigerians from ever running for office. Because tell me, how many ordinary citizens can afford this without being sponsored by some godfather who will later want to control them? A Nigerian minimum wage worker earns ₦70,000 per month. That means the cheapest form here, State House of Assembly, is almost three years of salary if that person saves every naira and spends nothing on food, rent, transport, bills, family, or survival. For House of Reps, it is over seven years of minimum wage salary. For Senate, over nine years. For Governorship, over thirty-five years. For Presidency, over seventy-one years. What exactly are ordinary Nigerians supposed to do with this kind of system? Even in the UK, where the standard of living is far better than Nigeria’s, standing for Parliament requires a £500 deposit, and that deposit is refundable if the candidate gets at least 5% of the votes. Refundable is the key word. A UK minimum wage worker doing only 20 hours a week can earn more than that in a month. But in Nigeria, a full-time minimum wage worker cannot even afford the cheapest political form after one full year of work. So we need to ask the honest question: Why does it cost more for an ordinary Nigerian to attempt State House of Assembly than it costs someone in the UK to begin the process of contesting for Parliament? The US is different too because ballot access rules vary by state, but their major problem is campaign funding, not political parties charging people tens of millions just to buy internal party forms. This is exactly why Nigerian politics keeps recycling the same rich men, godfathers, political merchants, and sponsored candidates. You price out the ordinary citizens first, then you pretend to be shocked that the same corrupt class keeps returning to power. NDC, if you are truly a people’s party, then stop pricing the people out of politics like the other political parties are doing.

@BashirAhmaad 😂😂😂 You have been supporting Tinubu. The only reason why u put out this statement is bcos u want to port to Atiku😂 Do it with ur full chest. E be like the largesse no reach you.

As the 2027 general elections draw nearer, in the coming days, I will formally and publicly endorse the candidate I intend to vote and campaign for. My decision will be based on careful consideration, patriotism, competence, vision and what I genuinely believe is best for the development, unity, stability and future of our great country. When the time comes, I will present the convincing reasons behind my position, with the hope of contributing positively to the democratic process and encouraging issue-based political engagement. So help me God!

@kanayowulus @gulani_bashir1 …and he wonders why his people are dumb.

@gulani_bashir1 How can you not be dumb when you chose not to use your brain. The 👇 is the main reason why you are where you are today.

We are too dumb as a region. We need to tell ourselves the truth.🤦🏾‍♂️

@gulani_bashir1 Sadly, the dumb people want to constantly be in power. They wake up every morning and discuss politics from morning till night. No innovation. No contribution twds national growth. Just terror.

@tudunwada__mi From someone whose name is almajeri 😂😂

This is sad. Kwankwaso appeared on National TV shamelessly putting a sheath for Peter Obi and campaigning for him. I almost shed tears while watching him. On behalf of all Northerners, Kwankwaso, I condemn this your interview and we will never forgive you.

@DrUsmanIsyaku Northern Nigeria alone has never produced a president by itself. Buhari tried it severely but failed. Besides the north u talk about is only sokoto, Kano, Borno, kebbi, Bauchi, katsina and yobe. The rest are only north by location. Not by Islam.

Buba Galadima cannot win Yobe state for Peter Obi if Atiku is running in ADC. Not even 10%. Obi will learn a thing or two about northern politics in 2027.

@tudunwada__mi If Peter Obi had made this same statement saying the problem with the north is illiteracy, poverty and terrorism, all hell would have broken loose.

Our problems in the North are four: 1. Illiteracy 2. Poverty 3. Insecurity 4. Kwankwaso

@ruffydfire It’s a dumb idea! The most dumb idea ever! Tomorrow someone selling beans/Ewa or puff puff will want to copy her. Dumb!!!

A reality TV star walked Africa's biggest red carpet in a gown made from over 500 loaves of bread — and the internet hasn't stopped talking since. Designed to promote her personal bakery business, the creation was praised by some as bold and creative. Others called it deeply tone-deaf in a country battling food inflation and hunger. A marketing moment or moral question - what do you think?

@Iyoaiye_ @PeterObi @YhungProf0 @NELFUND Do u know how many best graduating students Nigerian universities produce every year? Many! How many Nigerians win foreign league every year? Sometimes none!

Peter Obi, who did not extend congratulations to the best graduating student of LAUTECH, Oladepo Olugbenga @YhungProf0 whose achievement was made possible through the @NELFUND initiative under Pres Bola Ahmed Tinubu took his time to celebrate Victor Osimhen for a collective team success. To be clear, it is commendable to celebrate individuals like @victorosimhen9; however, the concern lies in the inconsistency of what Obi chooses to recognize and amplify. You overlooked a brilliant young man whose academic excellence as the best graduating student ought to serve as a strong motivation to other youths despite your claims of prioritizing education. That claim, in this context is questionable and inconsistent. It gives the impression that education is not your a priority in this pattern of public recognition. While this may not be entirely surprising, especially considering previous patterns, one cannot ignore the contrast with how quickly you congratulated the best graduating student from UNILAG in 2025, Isioma Sybil Nwosu who was an Igbo lady, following a ₦10 million recognition from the state Governor @jidesanwoolu. If someone with this your kind of selective attention and tribal sentiments accidentally lead Nigeria, that singular tendency will deepen divisions more than it has ever been..

Congratulations to Victor Osimhen I want to join other fans in congratulating one of Nigeria’s many talented exports, Victor Osimhen, for successfully leading Galatasaray S.K. to the Turkish Süper Lig title with a brilliant performance, scoring twice in the decisive victory that sealed the championship. Your resilience, discipline, and talent continue to inspire millions of young Nigerians to believe in the power of hard work, dedication, and excellence. You have remained a proud ambassador of Nigeria on the global stage, bringing honour to our nation through your achievements and conduct. Nigerians are immensely proud of you and your continued success. I have often spoken about the transformative power of sports and the immense opportunities it offers to young people. This is why the persistent neglect of the sector in our country is deeply regrettable. The truth is that Nigeria is blessed with countless talents like Osimhen, waiting for the right leadership, support, and environment to rise, excel, and bring glory to the nation. I reiterate that a new Nigeria, where all sectors develop simultaneously for the balanced growth and health of the nation is POssible. I wish @victorosimhen9 even greater success in the years ahead. -PO

@ShehuSani Walahi if u keep criticizing Peter Obi, u will loss. Continue.

Give me your 50k I will double it to 100k is same as give me one term,it’s okay for me. Politicians write their tough promises with pencil and not with pens.

@ShehuSani You think Peter Obi is ur Nigerian-Styled politician? Go and check his antecedents. He is not like you lot.

@ShehuSani You think Peter Obi is ur Nigerian-Styled politician? Go and check his antecedents. He is not like you lots

@fkeyamo The establishment has twisted ur mind so bad u don’t believe politics can be played by truth and honesty. It is we Nigerians that will march on the street to see that Peter Obi goes for second term. We will go down on our knees and beg him.

THE NDC AND ITS ‘419’ DECISION. The decision of NDC to zone its Presidential ticket to the south for JUST ONE TERM (emphasis on ‘one term’) is an audacious attempt to hoodwink Nigerians. It reminds us of the undertaking by Jonathan in 2011 to serve just one full term and quit. So, what happens if Peter Obi changes his Party, assuming he wins, or as leader of the NDC he gets the NEC of the Party to reverse the decision, if in the unlikely event he wins? This is an insult on the sensibilities of Nigerians; it smacks of outright desperation and actually accentuates the dilemma of the opposition a whole in the 2027 Presidential elections. It is just a joke taken too far; it is nothing but political 419.

@U_Rochas Even btw obi and GEJ, u still choose GEJ over ur Igbo brother. I thought u were only foolish. I didn’t know u are also mad.

Honestly, this is the best time for Obi to step down for GEJ if he truly believes in Nigeria, as he has always said. This is the moment to show GEJ that respect and support him for the greater good. Peter, please step down for GEJ.

@U_Rochas 😂😂😂 Werey has moved on from Atiku to GEJ

It’s time for Obi to step down for GEJ, a man many Nigerians see as tested and trusted southern candidate. GEJ remains one of the few presidents whose administration is still remembered by many as one of the most prosperous periods in Nigeria’s recent history. Now he wants to return, test his popularity again, and see how Nigerians will receive him politically. Ironically, a man that did not leave behind remarkable achievements after spending 8 years as Governor of Anambra State is the one asking GEJ to step aside for him. If Peter Obi has truly promised to do just one term, then what exactly stops him from stepping down for GEJ, who constitutionally has only four years left to complete? Peter please step down for GEJ @PeterObi

@Uptownoflagos @MKabrik @DeleMomodu Is this the same Dele momodu speaking shiit today?

BREAKING:🔥 “I will never join a Primaries unless I’m adopted as consensus candidate. No sane person can compete in a primary with those who stole Nigeria dry & their dollars” -Dele Momodu This was Uncle @DeleMomodu before thunder stroke in Wakanda & Truth flipped on its head.

@HAHayatu @lifeofbishopp Look at ur ugly face like a Mai gworo

@lifeofbishopp Did I say he will win

I support GEJ to contest too, with him all the southern geopolitical zones have a candidate 😋

@HAHayatu U said it’s not the turn of the south. Why confusing yourself. Stay one place so that the thunder and lightning can locate your head properly.

@HAHayatu Nigeria did not start in 1999. Nigeria started in 1960.

Any northern that said 2027 is turn of the south is disingenuous, by 2027 the south have ruled for 18 years since the PDP agreement of rotation 1999 while the north have done it for 10 years. Ironically Kwankwaso who contested 2023 towed the line yesterday.

@ADCVanguard_ Is it not better to get 4 years than to loose out completely? Do u think Atiku will come and spend 4 years?

“NDC Zones Presidency to South for a single Term of 4years”… Soludo
