Everything you said, we will only see it as what Hausawa call ‘ihu bayan hari ". But in reality, Rabiu Kwankwaso, you have embarrassed the people of Kano, and if you agree to become the running mate to Peter Obi in any party, I think that would be the greatest injustice you could do to your supporters in Kano and Northern Nigeria.
How can someone who governed a state like Kano now become the deputy to someone who governed a smaller state like Anambra?
Therefore, as Kano people, we appeal to Rabiu Kwankwaso to support Atiku Abubakar as the presidential candidate of the African Democratic Congress.
Clarification on My Political Position
We have noted recent media reports and discussions suggesting a possible realignment within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to the current challenges facing the party.
In light of the misleading narratives in the public domain, I wish to state categorically that no final decision has been taken regarding my political future or that of my political associates.
The recent Supreme Court judgment, while affirming the legitimacy of the David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC), also remitted the matter back to the High Court. This has left the party in a precarious position.
In addition, the Federal High Court has recently ruled to delegitimise the party’s recent convention. The Attorney General of the Federation has also strangely applied to a Federal High Court to deregister the ADC.
We left the NNPP due to externally influenced legal problems that made our stay perilous. The ADC has now been also forced into this difficulty.
Consequently, like other major stakeholders, we have commenced wide-ranging consultations — including with leaders from the NDC, PRP and others to explore the best options for protecting our democratic interests. We shall announce our decision in the soonest possible time.
On the issue of presidential candidacy, I wish to recall my consistent record as a committed democrat. In the 2014 APC presidential primary, I came second to President Muhammadu Buhari (whom I fully supported to victory), with Atiku Abubakar third, Rochas Okorocha fourth, and the late Sam Nda-Isaiah fifth. Similarly, in 2019, I contested the PDP presidential ticket and immediately supported the winner, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, serving as the campaign’s coordinator in the North. I have always placed national interest and party unity above personal ambition.
Furthermore, the ADC is yet to zone its presidential ticket or take any decision on a candidate. I have therefore neither declared any intention to run for president nor endorsed any aspirant. All speculations to the contrary are premature and unfounded.
My absence from the two recent ADC stakeholders’ meetings was due to unavoidable personal commitments. I promptly communicated my apologies to the party leadership.
We shall continue to engage constructively at all levels. Any definitive position on our political direction will be communicated formally through official channels at the appropriate time.

At 3 a.m., the night refuses me sleep, not because the darkness is kind, but because it mirrors the suffocating void we have become as a country.
Bola Tinubu’s speech yesterday was not a policy address; it was a confession. Cold, arrogant and dripping with the mediocrity we have learned to expect, it exposed the man who wears the title of president yet carries no heartbeat for the people he rules. There is no plan for our lives, none for the bread we cannot afford, none for the futures we are watching rot.
With shameless pride he once declared himself 100 % heir to Buhari’s despicable legacy, chest puffed, conscience anaesthetised. Yet tomorrow, his hired voices will spin the fairy tale that he arrived to “correct” the very ruin he helped crown. The contradiction is not clever; it is obscene. It is the kind of lie that slaps every suffering face and dares us to call it governance.
I am not angry alone, I am afraid. Afraid for my children, for every Nigerian child whose tomorrow has already been auctioned to fund the banquet tables of this government. They have no blueprint except for themselves. No vision except their own survival.
And in that naked truth, hope does not flicker. It dies quietly, mercilessly, while the rest of us lie awake wondering how much deeper this grave can still be dug.
@NigeriaStories The method of appointing or selecting an INEC chairman in Nigeria is a total error. How on earth do you think a man on the seat of power will appoint someone who will not favor him? Haba! When the foundation is wrong,...
BREAKING NEWS: The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has asked Prof Joash Amupitan to step down as Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
@ADCVanguard_ The earlier we understand that the worse of what happened in 2023 elections under Mahmud is about to happen in 2027 under Amupitan, the better we find other better alternatives to avert it. It is obvious that he is not here for your polls.
JUST IMAGINE THIS:
An INEC Chairman reportedly tried to distance himself from an account said not to be his, only for investigators to point to an email match with the one listed on his official CV. If that is true, then this is not a small embarrassment. It is a credibility crisis at the heart of Nigeria’s electoral system.
INEC is not a roadside association. It is the institution meant to protect the integrity of our democracy. Once the umpire begins to look evasive on something this basic, every decision it makes comes under suspicion, and public trust starts to collapse.
In serious democracies, issues like this trigger scrutiny, accountability, and often resignation. In Nigeria, we are somehow expected to normalize scandal, excuse contradiction, and move on as if nothing happened.
If the facts are clear, then Nigerians deserve more than silence. They deserve answers, accountability, and an electoral commission that does not look compromised from the top.
@NigeriaStories I am sure ipob & obidient will be happy for the political conspiracy at weakening our security architecture just make the president weak & give the northerners a reason to vote for another northern president.
But trust me!Nigeria will succeed and PBat 2031

“Captain Ibrahim Traore, the 37-year-old leader of Burkina Faso, has introduced a groundbreaking new law that has captured the world's attention.
Under this law, thieves will no longer be sent to prison as is customary. If a person is caught for the crime of theft, they will be detained, but not in a prison. They will be forced to do government work or national development labor until they pay back the money they stole. They will only be released after they have repaid what they stole.
According to Ibrahim Traore, "We are turning theft into a form of debt repayment. Thieves will help build the nation, instead of being fed again in prisons. This is a step to protect society and improve the economy."
This new policy demonstrates a level of vision, patriotism, and genuine leadership that is rarely found in Africa.
What's your take on this law? Good or bad
@NigeriaStories JUST IN; US will deal with TERRORIST GROUPS and Its SUPSONSERS IN NIGERIA.

Africa news: The USA 🇺🇸 has officially removed Mali from its controversial visa bond programme, which required certain foreign nationals to pay a refundable deposit of up to $15,000 when applying for business or tourist visas.
The decision followed Mali’s move to impose a similar bond requirement on U.S. citizens applying for visas, prompting Washington to take Mali off the list.

A thread.
The continued attacks on Professor Wole Soyinka by Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed and Peter Obi's spokesman only confirm what the Nobel laureate said. That Peter Obi himself coordinated the trolling, insults, abuses, and threats. And why would Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed say "he can destroy Soyinka"? Is he God?
If Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed was so powerful and could destroy anyone, why did he not destroy Bola Tinubu and win the 2923 election for himself and Obi? It is unfortunate that Peter Obi has chosen confrontation instead of cooperation and collaboration as a way of advancing his political objectives. We will see how that will benefit him in 2027.
As for Peter Obi's spokesman, who said that Wole Soyinka has no future, I urge him to remember how a particular supporter of Peter Obi had mocked President Muhammadu Buhari, who was then afflicted with ill health. Buhari finished his eight-year tenure and left Aso Rock looking younger than when he arrived in 2015. But the young man died before Buhari could finish his tenure.
Nobody knows tomorrow, and only God knows who will have a future and who will not. Again, no man can 'destroy' whom God had not destroyed.
