"A society that has a functional police system and court will not tolerate the presence of VeryDarkMan. VDM is merely the image in your mirror."
This is 100% true. In a country where the police work and the courts give justice, nobody will be running to an activist on Instagram to fight for them.
The reason VDM is now called the last hope of the common man is because the common man has lost hope in the system. People find it easier to get justice through VDM than through the institutions that are supposed to protect them.
VDM is not the problem. He is just the mirror showing us how broken our system is. Fix the system, and you won't need VDM.
Allowing this wicked, vile, greedy, nepotistic, heartless and glutinous family to assume the reigns of power in Nigeria will haunt this country for decades.
The summary of this article is that Tinubu has run Nigeria to the ground.
There’s no money for capital expenditure.
Tinubu is just servicing debts and paying salaries.
The economy is in comatose.
This is the man that’s campaigning for a second term ferociously.
Nigerian police officers have been warned not to search any individual’s phone. Anybody can record any police officer at his duty post. As long as the officer is doing the right thing, there is nothing to fear about being recorded.

“Christianity in Nigeria has no fathers. One young man was speaking intensely, saying Enoch Adeboye and David Oyedepo should speak out, and I asked myself, are these the fathers of Christianity in Nigeria? These are denominational leaders. Christianity in Nigeria has no father. A father would be someone who looks after us all, not just promoting denominational agendas and competing over who is building a one-mile auditorium while another tries to build two miles. One has one aircraft, another wants three. The competition has no spiritual content.”

The ADC is not my cup of tea, but there is now reasonable basis to infer existence of a well orchestrated sinister conspiracy to truncate contested and credible elections in 2027.
From what is publicly available, all the Executives of the ADC resigned to allow David Mark and Aregbesola to emerge as the National Chairman and the National Secretary respectively.
The man who took the case to the court, Nafiu Gombe, claims that he did not resign as Deputy National Chairman, and that he ought to have automatically assumed the position of National Chairman “in line with the Party’s Constitution”.
Interestingly, the ADC held a National Executive Committee where the party ratified its new leadership led by Mark.
So, what’s the controversy here?
Is dispute over the leadership of a political party no longer the internal affairs of the political party?
It used to be the law that issues of political party leadership is non justiciable, or forum domesticum.
A Party’s NEC has the authority to decide who should lead the party.
If the ADC says they want another person to assume that role instead of the Deputy National Chairman, can the Court compel the same Party to submit to its Deputy?
Is this dispute justiciable?
Also, the Court of Appeal said the parties should maintain status quo ante bellum.
This means the state of affairs before the suit before the Federal High Court was filed by the Claimant.
Before the suit, who was the Chairman of the Party?
Was it not David Mark?
Is this INEC saying that the Order of the Court of Appeal implies that there should be leadership vacuum in the ADC until the case is determined by the Federal High Court?
Whose script is this INEC playing?
It seems that the ruling party, which prides itself as having over thirty governors in its fold, is so scared of a fair contestation.
If it is the desire of INEC for Bola Tinubu to contest as a sole candidate - unopposed, in 2027, let the Commission say so publicly.
It will save the country the billions of Naira budgeted for the ‘presidential election’.
Soldiers accompanied MC Oluomo to take over the national secretariat of the NURTW in defiance of a court judgement sacking him?
Is this the country that we want to bestow on our children?
