20 something year olds are joining mouth to say the benefits of the macroeconomic policies won’t show now but in kinikan years. Forgetting that the almost 40 year olds said the same thing about a decade ago while watching their futures get eaten up.
Deregisteration of political parties is a bad omen for our democracy. There is no constitutional, legal or moral basis for these alternative democratic platforms to be truncated and thwarted by the Government with the aid of a judicial decree.
That this unconstitutional and plainly undemocratic order is coming up just days after we celebrated June 12 Democracy Day with a public holiday and hollow fanfare and national awards.
The fact that my political party @TheSDPNg is not affected by this unfortunate situation does not excuse my silence in the face of injustice.
All lovers of democracy must stand strongly and solidly in solidarity with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Action Alliance (AA), Action People's Alliance (APP) Accord Party (AP), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).
The broader the social, political economic, religious, cultural and ideological diversities in Nigeria 🇳🇬 the more imperative to offer a diversity of political party platforms for Nigerians from all walks of life and sundry persuasions to pursue their own political activities.
I therefore offer myself to all those affected political parties to pursue justice and restoration through all legitimate means. I also include in my presidential agenda the need to defang the serpentine INEC from abusive powers and amend the Constitution to remove the powers of @INEC to register political parties.
All political associations should be free to nominate candidates for elections and pay a statutory monetary deposit which any political parties that do not win 10% of the votes shall lose their statutory deposit. @INEC can therefore be limited to ensuring free fair and credible elections only.
We do not need more constraints and overheating the political temperature in Nigeria when we should be focusing squarely on bidding.

If e sure for una, conduct a free and fair election and test your popularity.
It's always voter intimidation, vote buying and violence. Political class isonu.
Middle belt have been crying for years on hears
You just pretended to be deaf and our leaders kept pretending it didn’t affect them and covered for the ruling party
We are all culpable and you’re lying to yourself
No 80 year old man has anything to offer anyone. Especially in a high pressure job like leading a country of over 150m people.
You like him, you want him to scratch an itch that started in the early 90s, fine, 150m people don't have to suffer.
I’m not trying to be controversial, but if we're demanding civic responsibility from religious leaders, it shouldn't be limited to or reserved for a single religion.
Nigerians talk about politics like it’s a game that’s not real. Meanwhile, it’s what determines the trajectory of the lives of the populace.
You’d think it’s Nintendo she’s talking about.
When you’re ready, you’ll come to accept that the majority of Nigerians admire & even idolize their oppressors, and you’ll choose a beautiful, serene island to retire with your family.
I don't have a dog in the NADECO fight all I'll say is Bagudu and Chagoury, Abacha's bagman and closest ally respectively are highly placed in this administration that's led by a supposed NADECO leader. So shut up please with the takes.
Also, Abacha was an evil ruler and we shouldn't be comparing anyone to that devil please.
