Our Votes Must Count

Unlike in the past, in 2027 our votes MUST count, and all those who are there not to count the votes will be counted among those destroying Nigeria. I encourage everyone to remain at the polling units after voting to count and witness the counting and transmission of results. Those who refuse to allow the votes count will be made to count the full weight of the law against rigging. Let me reiterate: if you do not count our votes, we will count you among those who destroy our democracy, thereby destroying our future, and you must answer to the law. -PO

Lokoja Judgment: An Unnecessary Serious Setback for Nigerian Democracy

Today was an exceptionally busy day. I left Lagos in the early hours for Emekuku, where I visited the School of Nursing Sciences, an institution I have consistently supported over the years. It was gratifying to inspect projects funded through my previous interventions, including the school’s computer laboratory. Such investments reaffirm my belief that education remains one of the strongest foundations for national development.

From there, I attended the 80th birthday celebration of the Emeritus Archbishop of Owerri, Most Rev. Dr Anthony Obinna, whose commitment to justice, peace, and the common good has inspired many, before proceeding to Madonna University for another engagement.

It was at Madonna University that I received the court news of the Lokoja court rulings through my brother, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.

Every Nigerian committed to the country’s progress should be deeply concerned. This judgment represents another setback for our democracy and the institutions upon which our future depends.

It is regrettable that some who claim to champion democracy now appear determined to weaken the very institutions that sustain it. In doing so, they are undermining public confidence and endangering the future of millions of Nigerians.

The legislature and the judiciary are increasingly being drawn into this pattern of institutional decline. Democracy cannot thrive where institutions lose their independence and credibility.

Those who seek to weaken Nigeria’s democratic foundations will not ultimately prevail. When a similar situation recently affected the ADC, I condemned it without hesitation. I do so again today because my position has always been guided by principle.

My concern is not about who becomes President. My concern is that Nigeria works. Our politics must move beyond the quest for power and focus instead on building a united nation founded on justice, strong institutions, the rule of law, and equal opportunity. That is the Nigeria we owe ourselves and the one we must leave for future generations.

I therefore urge all well-meaning Nigerians to rise above partisan interests and defend our democracy. The survival of our institutions is inseparable from the survival of our nation. It's when we work together that a new Nigeria of our dream is made POssible. -PO

Tinubu sponsored Toke Makinwa and 1,411 inconsequential delegates to UN Climate summit in Dubai, but can't sponsor a few brilliant students to participate in the International Mathematics competition.

Tinubu is actually the real Olodocore

[Benkingsley Nwashara @Benking443]

Flying Toke Makinwa and over 1,400 useless delegates to Dubai was apparently affordable.

But sponsoring a few of Nigeria's brightest minds to China to represent the country at an international mathematics competition was not.💔

Fvcking retards!

State Police: Commendable Step, but Disorderly Legislation Raises Concerns of Political Misuse

The recent passage of the State Police Bill by the National Assembly marks a significant legislative milestone in addressing a long-standing demand of the Nigerian people. For years, many of us, alongside security experts and regional stakeholders, have consistently argued that a highly centralised policing structure is fundamentally unsuitable for a country as vast, diverse, and complex as Nigeria. However, the legislative and constitutional implementation appears shaky and raises legitimate concerns.

The process should involve greater community participation. Policing should be more visible at the local government and community levels. The mechanism for passing the law appears highly disorganised, with no public hearing on such a sensitive issue. Indeed, the rush to enact the law without proper legislative procedures fuels suspicion among many observers about the political motives behind it.

The greatest concern does not arise from logistical issues; it stems from history. There is a widespread, justifiable fear that state police forces could become instruments in the hands of governors. The suspicion is that a state-controlled police force could be weaponised to suppress political rivals, disrupt opposition rallies, and manipulate elections.

For state policing to evolve from a risky political gamble into a genuine security solution, the law must not only permit states to establish police forces but also clearly provide for independent oversight bodies, such as a state-level Police Service Commission that is entirely free from executive influence, to ensure that policing serves the public interest rather than the interests of the ruling elite.

Going by what Nigerians have seen so far, there is no guarantee that this administration can resist the temptation to take advantage of state policing to influence the 2027 general election by proxy. In view of that possibility and the danger it poses to the polity, it is necessary to defer its implementation until after the general election.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Odumeje is an incredible gospel singer. When it comes to contemporary Igbo gospel music, there isn’t a preacher today who comes close to matching his energy, delivery, and cultural impact. Top Guy! ❤️

According to the Nigerian police, vigilantees now operate with machine guns.

It is disgraceful for a presidential spokesperson to dismiss the economic realities of Nigerians.

PRESS STATEMENT

FROM RENEWED HOPE TO RENEWED DENIAL: TINUBU'S GOVERNMENT CANNOT WISH AWAY THE HUNGER AND INSECURITY FACING NIGERIANS

[oseni rufai @ruffydfire]

Dem say this one na vigilante

[Dejii™ @_Dejii]

Hate him or Love him, Mr Bayo Onanuga gives you an unfiltered access to the mind of the President.

He’s one man you can truly say speaks for the President. He mirrors Tinubu’s lack of empathy and concern towards the suffering masses. Just like his boss, he’s completely disconnected from the harsh realities citizens face everyday as a result of their actions.

[SizZzle. 😎🇳🇬 @n6oflife6]

Idris Zekeri is currently in my top 3 Favorite Young Nigerians… Very Intelligent and Articulate man there. I sincerely hope he gets to Govern Edo state in some capacity very soon. He is a valuable Asset to his People and to the country at Large. 🧐🌹✅

[Noble Igwe @Nobsdaslushhkid]

Every man must have a purpose in life , don’t be like @Onsogbu at 50.
He only left Aba to Abuja because a political party bought him ticket.
A failed cement seller , failed at being a pastor, malnourished and speaks with saliva gathering at the edges of his mouth .

All the lies of the Tinubu administration will be challenged. #politics #nigeria

UK doesn’t Play with Good governance to the Point they Changed 6 prime Ministers in 10 years. But when it comes to Africa they Will Encourage Dictators Like Biya & Museveni, And Congratulate Nigeria Every time we Hold a Sham Election. This is Very Sad & Shameful Conduct. 🙄🇬🇧

Peter Obi Promises To Invest In Nigerians And Empower Small Businesses - Zekeri

He is already doing it by investing in education. A well-trained mind has no limit to what it can achieve. What this government is doing with NELFUND is giving with one hand and taking with the other. It is a government of utter confusion.

He took fuel subsidy away from 230m citizens and shared it with 36 Governors because he needs them for his reelection.

So “fuel subsidy is gone” has been all about his 2027 aspiration?

A dark, cold, degenerate soul.
