Hon. Pantami deceived himself, Gombe APC didn’t promise him anything.
On that day when Pantami visited APC party office, I understand his Governorship ambition is over, you want to contest for State Governor but party excos are complaining that you abandoned them when you were Minister and never visited them, that is a game-over in Nigerian politics.
Many people fail to understand how politics work in Nigeria, most people think you can just come from nowhere and those in control of that lucrative politics industry will handover power to you. Lol
Every state, every local government, every ward and every polling unit has someone that controls it. Those in control of those areas are the ones entitled to nominate and anoint of the candidates for any political office in that areas.
Pantami’s political Godfather is Buhari and he is no more, now Pantami doesn’t have anyone that can help him to secure the nomination as Gubernatorial candidate, maybe if he understands the game he will have start building his own path to the power, find a new godfather in Gombe politics to follow politically, build a strong team of grassroots politicians across all the Local Governments and find the real sponsors that will sponsor his campaign not those social media users that donate money to pick up a nomination form for him.
All those politicians who became Governors in Nigerian states, go and read their political history, how and where they started and how they managed to do it. It ain’t easy at all.
For example; let’s use Hon. Hamzat the 2027 consensus Lagos APC gubernatorial candidate as example, he contested for Lagos Governor in 2014 he was asked to step aside despite being a front runner, and he step aside for Ambode. In 2019 when Ambode was changed, he is amongst the front runners but they still picked Sanwo-Olu as Governor and Hamzat as deputy, now as 2027 election is approaching he has been nominated as APC consensus candidate for Lagos State Governor.
And also remember what happened with Bashir Ahmad in 2023, when he wants to contest for House of Reps in Gaya/Albasu constituency, he was rejected by those in control of that areas but now he understands the game, he already started building a strong connection between him and the grassroots. Hon. Pantami should also do the same, don’t give up, take a step back and get prepared.
From the day Pantami announced his ambition to become Governor, I never uttered a word even though I am one of his critics because I am waiting for a time like this. I hope others like him will learn how Nigerian political game is played, politicians valued only their own circles, they will not trust you if you don’t lick their a$$.

@instablog9ja Look at how confused Wicked has become 😀 He never imagined there is a man born of a woman who could confront him like this... This young naval officer has exposed his ogogoro fermenting yansh in the market on a market day. Let him try another military man next time.
Dear Muslim brothers and sisters,
It has come to our notice that the newly appointed INEC Chairman holds strong anti-Islamic sentiments. We sincerely urge the President of Nigeria to replace him immediately to ensure fairness and religious neutrality. @officialABAT
Alhamdulillah, pleased to share that @daily_trust has published my piece from the BRICS Strategic Communication conference. Thanks to @HamzaIdris3 too. Nigeria should be full member. Read here: https://t.co/0D68H1qqqN

@NigeriaStories He should rather advocate for such wives to get easier access to justice, to get judges to separate the marriage based on the evidence they tender at the court.
@winexviv The answer to the how is, deliberate impoverishment of our ivory towers by politicians. Professors are now discovering different ways and strategies of dodging hunger than innovating new technologies.
@channelstv They should also make law to compel public office holders to patronise Nigerian hospitals and public schools and universities for their children.
@YolaDisco1 Better late than never. Yedc should cultivate policy of prompt public announcement of such incidents so that customers and members of the public are informed in time to restock water supplies, seek alternative means to adjust to the situation. More than 24 hrs is too long!

Nigerian government little care about the life and welfare of citizens. We are being treated like slaves... And, unfortunately, this will pass without anyone getting reprimanded or punished for their misdeeds.
Dear @sarnchos and @ilyas_yusha,
The report of NSIB on the derailment of the Abuja-Kaduna trail has been attributed to:
1. Poor Maintenance
2. Faulty Track Switch
Best wishes,
We have been alerted to some online statements suggesting that we have submitted a letter of intent to join a political party in the country.
We would like to clarify that we have not made any such submission to any party.
The public is therefore advised to stay informed of any further information regarding our matter through the established official channels. - RMK
So the Central Bank of Nigeria (@cenbank) blocked me simply because I asked them to take an action against the way commercial banks & network providers are exploiting us Nigerian citizens!
Does this mean the CBN is also with them? Who do we TRUST?!
This is very unprofessional!
