Bismarck Rewane and other Economist are here explaining exactly how the Atiku plan on subsidy will be.
But some Tinubu slave will not agree, this things are not rocket science, Nigerians should benefit from what they produce locally which is crude oil, subsidise production.
Did a quick video this morning to share my thoughts on Obasanjo's latest missive and Atiku's long-expected response.
Respect always to Baba Obasanjo but for 2027 against Bola Tinubu:
Atiku Abubakar will be robustly defended.
Pls enjoy this one, and have a great weekend.
Malami ne kai ko Ɗalibi? Malama ko Ɗaliba? Don Allah spare few minutes and listen to this till end.
The truth and nothing but the truth. Allah Ya sa mu faɗaka.🤲

“I will never support a Peter Obi–Kwankwaso ticket.
Peter Obi subjected Northerners to various forms of mistreatment and had them carrying ID cards as governor.”

I see people claiming that Peter Obi and RMK saw the ADC primaries crisis coming, and that is why they left. Their supporters are trying to use that narrative to justify their exit.
I don’t share in that opinion, in fact I believe that opinion is not just myopic, it is mostly carried by people who have a very short political sight.
Atiku Abubakar is a political heavyweight who has contested for president in six elections, and this is his seventh attempt. Out of those contests, he has won party primaries three times, with this one now four. That alone tells you the level of experience he brings into any political structure.
Beyond that, he also has more friends within the political class than all of the actors in today’s opposition space combined. That kind of network is not something you ignore in Nigerian politics.
In the ADC structure from inception, Atiku does not control everything as many people want us to believe, but he clearly holds a significant share of the structure. You can reasonably say he holds about 25% influence, while the remaining 75% is spread across other opposition leaders.
Now within that remaining 75%, the person who holds the strongest structure is Peter Obi, but he alone doesn't have enough to defeat Atiku.
The only realistic way to defeat Atiku in that kind of arrangement would have been unity among the other blocs. Because a fragmented opposition cannot defeat a well structured and deeply connected political actor like him. And I know for a fact that a good number of them as at then would not align with Atiku in a direct contest. That is why the unity was very important, but they are all feeling too big.
But what did they do instead of playing the politics the right way, they chose to exit before the real fight even began.
So Peter Obi, who held the most visible structure in that bloc, left his structure behind. And naturally, those structures became politically unanchored. In politics, structures do not die, they move.
Our political scientists in the house that are familiar with “Duverger’s Law” will understand this, in a winner takes all electoral systems, political fragmentation almost always strengthens the most organised or dominant remaining actor, while divided opponents weaken each other. So it is not a fluke, or rigging
So in that kind of vacuum, only Atiku Abubakar had the reach and network to absorb parts of that space, so they gradually aligned where they could survive politically.
If the results eventually come out and you will see that in states where Peter Obi and Kwankwaso would have won, Atiku won it, people will rush to say it is surprising or even say it is rigging. But it is not. It is structure at work.
Because once key actors leave, what remains on ground is not loyalty, it is survival. And those remaining political structures will always realign with whoever has the strongest national machinery left, which is Atiku.
So yes, I believe the exits of Peter Obi and RMK opened the door for Atiku to have a smoother path in that environment. If they were fully in the race, the dynamics would not be the same at all.
They had the clout and capacity to challenge him, but they did not stay to contest it to the end.
And in politics, when you step out of a contest, you don’t just remove yourself, you also reshape the entire balance of power left behind.

"PVC registration has been ongoing for 2 years, yet Bola Tinubu and INEC now want Nigerians to revalidate their PVCs in just 40 days? Asiwaju, by this action you have admitted that you lost the election. If you truly want re-election, why not do good for Nigerians? Wallahi, you cannot force yourself on us." — A concerned Nigerian
Time to End the Persecution of Political Opponents
The current administration must put an end to the blatant persecution of political opponents disguised as criminal prosecution. The integrity of the rule of law in Nigeria is non-negotiable; its degradation undermines our economic development and threatens national stability.
The recent arrests and continued detention of key leaders from the African Democracy Congress (ADC), namely Mr. Abubakar Malami, former Attorney General of the Federation, and Malam Nasir El-Rufai, former Governor of Kaduna State is worrisome. The timing of their arrests—coinciding with their commitment to ensure the current administration is voted out in 2027—raises serious questions. The methods used in their apprehension contradict the principles of rule of law. Prosecutorial decisions must be grounded in concrete evidence and probable cause, transparently presented without ulterior motives. The undue denial of bail or unjustly stringent conditions imposed on bail leave little doubt that the government is wielding criminal prosecution as a weapon against its political opponents.
The situation surrounding Malam El-Rufai is particularly concerning; his repeated transfers between the EFCC, ICPC, and DSS suggest a desperate search for any charge that might stick, straying dangerously close to a fishing expedition rather than a credible investigation.
I firmly believe that Nigeria requires a civil and criminal justice system that instills confidence in every citizen—that no one should fear persecution for their political beliefs or actions disapproved by those in power. The criminal trial process must adhere strictly to legal standards. As we approach a critical election period, the government must cease its efforts to undermine political opponents under the pretense of battling corruption, and wrong doing.
I wholeheartedly support the fight against corruption, and wrong doing, but it must be conducted with integrity and transparency, starting with those currently in power rather than targeting opponents.
A credible anti-corruption and anti wrong doing campaign cannot afford to be selective.
