@Big_Sinudo It's an Atiku/Obi ticket for sure. No need for assumptions
English

During yesterday’s ADC world press conference, one detail stood out from the seating arrangement:
2. Atiku Abubakar and Rotimi Amaechi were positioned together on one side.
3. Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso sat closely at the other end.
4. Could this be a subtle signal of a potential alliance configuration ahead of the ADC primaries?
5. It arguably should not be so, given that an Atiku–Obi ticket has already been tested and is result-oriented.
6. In the 2019 presidential election, the joint ticket of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi secured 17 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
7. Running separately in 2023, Atiku and Obi delivered 12 and 11 states, respectively. Showing individual electoral weight.
8. The ADC risks diluting its competitive edge if it experiments with unfamiliar pairings such as Atiku–Amaechi or Obi–Kwankwaso.
9. Its strongest path to political viability across states and possible victory at the center lies in consolidating the proven electoral synergy of an Atiku–Peter Obi ticket.

The INEC, as an independent body, is handling the issues within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) properly. I am not happy because every misstep or lack of clarity from INEC is unfairly being attributed to our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), with claims that our party is behind the situation. In honesty, even as a member of the APC, I am aware that Nafiu Bala Gombe does not represent the legitimate leadership of the opposition party.

Kano Politics 🔥
Before the arrival of Sen. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, Kano State ADC Chairman, @MusaUngogo_ was facing growing pressure from groups loyal to Alaamin Little and Indabawa, who were reportedly planning to remove him through the party congress and install their own chairman loyal to them.
However, the ADC LGA Chairmen and the youths stood firmly with him and passed a vote of confidence in his leadership three weeks ago.
By the will of Allah, Kwankwaso’s arrival has given the Chairman full backing and peace of mind, because from the beginning, the Leader has trusted him.
As for those other groups, they are unhappy because they are merely political jobbers with no real support.

I paid a visit to H.E @atiku Wazirin Duk Duniya. I already have a very cordial relationship with the family, and today, I'm delighted that we've aligned politically. He welcomed me into @ADCNig & I briefed him on my efforts for membership drive adcregistration.ng 🤝

Following extensive consultations with family, friends, and political associates we have worked closely with over time, we have resolved to move to the ADC as part of a new direction.
I have accordingly tendered my resignation from the APC and completed my registration with our new party, the ADC.
Those who are interested in joining the ADC can conveniently register using their phones via this link: adcregistration.ng. Your membership card will be issued shortly after.
We pray that Allah, in His mercy, makes this decision a good one, grants the ADC the opportunity to form government at all levels, and makee it beneficial for all Nigerians. Ameen.

@BichiMahmoud @abbati_umar @officialABAT @abdullahayofel @CoolBash1 @hadisirika Im not making a case for him, i agree he could have done better, in fact, Mallam Umaru wanted to turn the airport into cargo hub, May Allah grant him Jannah. One angle is that he could have expanded NCAAT in Zaria & make MAKIA better, especially cargo handling & capacity
English

@abbati_umar @maindabawa @officialABAT @abdullahayofel @CoolBash1 @hadisirika Tell us what he did apart from relocating fire fighting trucks from MAKIA to Katsina Airport. Show us what he did in the airport been aviation minister for 8 years.
English

Sometimes I wonder why some Northern Politicians Insist On Contest For President?
For instance @officialABAT has spend 712 billion to upgrade and modernise the old international terminal at Murtala Muhammed Airport in Lagos to international standard, while Umaru Musa Yar'adua Airport in Katsina continue to be in ruin.
Tinubu was able to achieve this fit for his state and region in less than 3 years in power.
But Katsina Airport with a President and Aviation Minister for 8 years didn't witness any major renovation or transformation.
At this point we begin to ask ourselves who does the Northern Presidency benefit?

The Cost of Fighting Godsons
Senator Kwankwaso should be competing on the national stage with his contemporaries like Senator Bola Tinubu, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, and other Class of 1999 political actors. By pedigree, experience, and longevity, Kwankwaso has clearly outgrown Kano politics and he does not need to prove it again in 2027.
However, he appears stuck in state-level politics. He battles with the two successive Kano governors after him, both of whom are his protégés, namely Dr Abdullahi Ganduje and the incumbent, Engr Abba Yusuf. He says they have “betrayed” him. There was a show of electoral force at his residence in Kano this afternoon. A large number of people trooped into his Miller Road residence in what he later called a “solidarity visit”.
These developments indicate that Senator Kwankwaso is once again positioning himself for state-level dominance rather than advancing a national ambition in 2027. Ideally, Kwankwaso should defeat Governor Abba through a candidate he anoints for #KanoDecides2027. But a deeper question remains: should the 2027 ambition of a politician of Kwankwaso’s stature be focused on unseating a “betraying” godson at the state level, when Kwankwaso’s contemporaries have either honourably retired from politics or are positioning themselves for the presidency?
Who exactly would Kwankwaso replace Abba with, and what assurance does he have that a newly installed godson would not eventually “betray” him, just as Ganduje and Abba did? At this point, there is little reason to believe the outcome would be different. The current godsons around him are likely to use his influence to rise, and then assert their independence once in office. There is no clear indication that they would be more submissive than their two elder political siblings, Ganduje and Abba. How do you keep doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting a different result?
There is also a genuine political risk. What if Abba Yusuf, like Ganduje before him, survives the onslaught and secures a second term? This is not an endorsement of electoral malpractice, but a recognition of Nigeria’s political realities. Kano’s 2019 gubernatorial election demonstrated how powerful interests can intervene decisively; Dr. Ganduje ultimately retained office despite glaring indications that he lost at the polls.
If a similar outcome were to occur in 2027 and Governor Yusuf proceeds to a second tenure, would that not constitute a second public humiliation for the godfather? What explanation would suffice then? That yet another protégé has matured enough to build political alliances strong enough to neutralize Kwankwaso’s influence? At that point, the narrative shifts decisively: from betrayed mentor to diminishing power broker.
On the other hand, if Senator Kwankwaso succeeds in unseating Governor Yusuf and installing another loyalist, what exactly would he be celebrating at the end of the day? That Kwankwasiyya has simply replaced Kwankwasiyya? That a godfather has prevailed over his own godson? Such victories may satisfy the logic of control, but they do little to expand political influence, strengthen institutions, or advance democratic culture. At best, they amount to an internal power rotation within the same political family, offering no clear gain to the broader society.
Ultimately, this debate goes beyond personalities. Do we really need a political model anchored on godfathers, covenants, and lifelong loyalty to patrons? Has Buhari’s repeated endorsement of anointed candidates meaningfully improved governance or political culture in the North? Has Tinubu’s entrenched godfatherism in the South West translated into measurable social or institutional progress? Until we seriously examine the long-term costs of political baptism, loyalty tests, and patronage politics, it remains difficult to argue that godfatherism is the most viable model for a modern democratic society.

In 2023:
Kano - APC, but Kwankwaso won
Katsina - APC, but Atiku won
Kaduna - APC, but Atiku won
Kebbi - APC, but Atiku won
El-Rufai and Malami are now with Atiku, and before 2027, Kwankwaso will also align with Atiku/ADC.
It will shock you that in 2027, Bola Tinubu won't be able to pull even half of the votes he scored in the KKK states in 2023.
Bola Tinubu may have the governors, but the masses are not with him.
Congratulations to the ADC in advance 🎉
SALAWU||OMOIYAONIPAKO@salawueedris1
-Kano—APC -Katsina—APC Kaduna—APC The KKK has aligned. ADC will not see 2,500 votes….

@grok how would you assess my profile using all social media indicators

This video is for those who say the rifts between Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf and Kwankwaso are scripted.
Here is Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf insinuating there was a time Kwankwaso talked about controlling him in a public gathering and said he would stay aside and give advice only when consulted to the extent that he felt insulted and had to fly to his residence in Abuja, and told him he wasn’t happy with the way he addressed him.

@maindabawa @KawuGarba I verified the video's date using reports from Leadership and Legit.ng, confirming it was recorded around July 2024. If there's new evidence suggesting otherwise, feel free to share details.

@KawuGarba @grok can you carbon date this video and say when it was recorded?
