This is scary: this what Peter Obi spoke about. How can Tinubu abandon existing roads in Nigeria to start new projects?
How can Nigerians survive?
Just from Benin, you spend 3 days on the road? This is scary 😨
I was in a bus going to Owerri on Saturday with this lady, she was cranky , shouting at everyone and kept sighing. At a point she broke down in tears, later she apologised to the lady beside her for how she reacted, that she left Lagos on Wednesday with night bus, hoping to get to mgbidi on Thursday morning for the mum’s burial on Friday.
Alas! She slept in Benin gridlock from Wednesday till Saturday morning. She said she has to pay Hausa okra riders 35k, she and some other passengers to move them from the gridlock to issele uku.
That was how she was able to get to Onitsha by 5am on Saturday.
She missed her mother’s burial.
Nigerians trapped on the Benin road are creating extra paths in the bush to escape the gridlock.😭
See the pains and sufferings the people have to go through because of a terrible and irresponsible leadership!✍️
“This is how the Benin–Asaba Expressway looks yesterday, Thursday, August 20, 2026. Look at how cars and trailers are stuck because of the bad road. Mr Peter Obi advised the APC to start fixing existing roads, but instead, they are att@cking him. Instead of Dave Umahi focusing on his work, he is busy looking for Peter Obi to debate him.”

This is not necessarily democracy in action; it is a sign of a dysfunctional electoral system and declining public trust. Citizens should not have to stay awake until 2:00 a.m. to guard their votes after voting. Vigilance is good, but when people are afraid to go home and sleep, it shows they do not trust the system to protect their votes.
Some of you don’t read between the lines.
You think Keyamo coming on the internet to tweet “agreement is agreement” means they handed Adeleke the win?
No!
They are playing a mind game. A psychological game on you!
They want to invalidate the people of Osun and demoralize the momentum building that says, “If Osun people can do it, we can too.”
Can’t you see that’s the only thing left for APC?
Mind games!
And some of you shamefully bought it.
You actually believed APC, the same party that refused to let Adeleke join them, would suddenly strike a deal with him to give them Osun in 2027?
Think about it. If an APC candidate wins in Osun, will he not have worked to give them Osun?
You mean it’s all a script and 28 persons died?
APC were beaten blue-black in Osun, and in 2027, we will come out in our millions and chase these heartless criminals out of our government!
Every Nigerian must participate!
If you don’t have a voter’s card, you will join those who have theirs in vote collation watch.
There was no agreement between Adeleke and APC. If there was one, Keyamo would not be tweeting about it on the internet. They would have simply allowed him to join APC, and he would win under their platform.
Na shame wear dem JIGIDA.
Shame and panic!
As for Adeleke thanking Tinubu, it’s all politics. If not, he has one vote, and we will count him among the 35 governors we will disgrace next year, just as the people of Osun disgraced the 18 governors.
Politics is politics. Don’t let political courtesy and strategy confuse you about the bigger picture.
Osun: While celebrating, let us also remember those who paid the ultimate price for democracy
Once again, I congratulate Governor Ademola Adeleke and the good people of Osun State on the outcome of the election and, more importantly, on safeguarding the democratic process. The people have spoken through the ballot, reaffirming the fundamental principle that power belongs to the people.
As we celebrate this success, let's not forget those who made the supreme sacrifice for our democracy during the Osun election. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives under different circumstances during the electoral period. I believe these families deserve our collective compassion, solidarity, and support. I therefore hope that the families of those who lost their loved ones will be identified and reached through visits, condolences, and appropriate compensation, irrespective of the political side to which they belonged.
Elections should be about the people, their choices, and their aspirations — not about the loss of precious lives. No political victory is worth the blood of a Nigerian.
My prayer is that our democracy will continue to mature to a point where elections no longer come at the cost of human lives, and where political differences can always be settled through issue-based campaigns and the rule of law.
May God comfort all the families who have lost loved ones and grant the departed eternal rest.
With the right conduct of elections, a New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
We have no business with IREV. It is cosmetic. We must approach the 2027 election as if it is manual. We are back to 2003!
We arrive at the polling unit with the mindset to stay there for at least 48 to 72 hours. We watch every vote cast like hawks.
We count and ensure each vote is counted and entered as voted. We do not allow so called human error of votes not entered correctly. 160 cannot be zero!!!!
In the meantime, all unused ballot papers are properly cancelled.
Ensure that the correct figures are entered ooooh. Our business is not to trust INEC!!!!
From the polling unit, we follow the ballot boxes to the ward collation centre. We vigilantly ensure that the votes are not changed!
From ward collation centre we move to the local government collation centre.
From local government collation centre, we move to State collation centre.
AT NO TIME SHOULD WE ALLOW BALLOT BOXES OR RESULT SHEETS TO BE OUT OF OUR SIGHT!!!
From State collation centre we move to Abuja. let states send some representatives) to come meet us in Abuja and stake out where Amupitan will be collating the results from all over Nigeria.
We will be there till result is announced the way people voted.
This election must be personal to everyone. If you vote and don’t wait for your results to be entered then you merely did paper painting not voting.
As for those that do violence, let their families know it will no longer be business as usual. Let everyone call their children to order.
“You’re carrying our votes, and you are receiving calls. Drop that phone immediately.”
— Watch as residents of Ward Okerewe 3, Ife East LGA, Osun State, followed their votes to the collation centre on motorcycles yesterday after noticing that the driver was receiving several phone calls.
I brought no one ! No one defended me ! I backed my family on my own !! You guys r ruthless n disgusting! Eeewwww ! I have done my job ! Nigerian politics is evil AND I DONT WANT TO BE A PART OF IT TILL GOD HELPS US !
This is Senator FADAHUNSI at his home town ILASE moving round the pooling unit instructing his THUGS to check the votes of people and Whosoever vote contrary to APC should be dealt with.
Even in the presence of Policemen.
When the people stand
It’s easier to resist rigging
The people must stand that’s the lesson from Osun
And we must constantly tell the people the threats available
Osun: When the People Stand, Democracy Wins
I warmly congratulate Governor Ademola Adeleke on his re-election and the good people of Osun State on this important democratic victory. They - Osun people - have spoken with courage and clarity, reaffirming that the power to choose their leaders belongs to the people. Through his commitment to the people, compassion for their needs, and the strength of his work and achievements in office, Governor @AAdeleke_01 has earned their renewed confidence and been entrusted once again with their mandate.
I particularly commend the courageous youths of Osun who rose to the occasion and peacefully defended their democratic mandate. Their vigilance and determination demonstrate that when citizens stand firmly to protect their votes, the forces of good can overcome the forces of darkness.
The lesson from Osun is clear: democracy is strongest when citizens are alert, conscious of their civic responsibility, and determined to ensure that their votes count. Every genuine vote must be respected, and every lawful mandate must be protected.
This is also a clarion call as we approach 2027. Nigerians must remain informed, participate actively, vote, and protect their votes. The Nigerian people are the ones experiencing hunger, deprivation, insecurity, and hardship; therefore, they are also the ones with the power, through their votes, to bring about the change that will end these conditions.
I urge all political actors to place the interests of the people above partisan considerations and to embrace peace, unity, and the rule of law. Elections should never be battles of violence, but contests of ideas, competence, character, and service.
May the Osun experience strengthen our confidence in the democratic process and inspire Nigerians everywhere to remain vigilant and committed to building a just, secure, prosperous, and truly people-centred nation.

INEC IREV uploads have been stuck for almost 2 hours now. 3292 out of 3763 results submitted and then silence. This is not acceptable!
Why has the uploading stopped?@inecnigeria
