Goodluck Jonathan is the only leader who can genuinely unite the North and South as it stands today in Nigeria. And heal the ethnic and religious divisions created during the past elections.
His time in office proved it by his appointments unlike now, also youth inclusion thrived, opportunities expanded with the creation of YOUWIN, PROJECT ART & Other Scholarship Schemes and yet he remains humble, never singing his own praises. GEJ is not just a politician, he’s the Unifier Nigerians needs to unseat Tinubu.
And don’t think his unaware of the happenings around the nation presently, he is well informed trust me 🌟🌟🌟
THE RULE OF LAW HAS SPOKEN — PDP MOVES FORWARD UNDER CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY
The Certified True Copies of the Court of Appeal ruling in Appeal No. CA/IB/86/2026 have further reinforced the binding effect of the Supreme Court's decision nullifying the Ibadan Convention of 15th–16th November 2025. The Court of Appeal unanimously held that any claim, structure, authority, or process founded on that Convention had become academic, otiose, and incapable of sustaining any live legal controversy. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the settled position of the law.
In the face of this legal reality, the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the People's Democratic Party acted responsibly and constitutionally by taking necessary steps to preserve the stability, unity, and continuous administration of the Party. The appointment of Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, as Interim National Chairman, represents a lawful and pragmatic exercise of the Party's constitutional powers pending the emergence of a substantive leadership through duly recognized party processes.
No individual, group, or faction can validly derive authority from a Convention that has been declared null, void, and of no effect by the apex court of the land. By virtue of Section 287(1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, all persons and authorities are bound by the decisions of the Supreme Court. The PDP NEC, as one of the highest decision-making organs of the Party, was therefore right to act within the framework of the law and the Party's Constitution to ensure continuity of leadership and organizational stability.
The era of uncertainty created by reliance on a legally extinguished Convention is over. The Court of Appeal has spoken, the Supreme Court has spoken, and the law is settled. The appointment of Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, as Interim National Chairman stands as a testament to the Party's commitment to constitutionalism, internal democracy, and respect for the rule of law. The PDP remains united, focused, and determined to move forward under legitimate and legally sustainable leadership structures.
The Court of Appeal in Abuja has set aside key aspects of a Federal High Court judgment that recognised a factional caretaker committee in the Peoples Democratic Party holding that the trial court granted reliefs that were never sought by any of the parties to the suit.
In a judgment delivered by Justice Uchechukwu Onyemenam, on Wednesday, a certified true copy of which was obtained on Friday, the appellate court faulted Justice Uche Agomoh of the Federal High Court, Ibadan, for going beyond the issues placed before the court in a dispute arising from the PDP leadership crisis.
Justice Agomoh had, in a judgment delivered on January 30, recognised the caretaker committee led by Abdurahman Mohammed and Samuel Anyanwu as the legitimate leadership faction of the party.
However, the Court of Appeal held that none of the parties before the lower court had sought such a declaration.
The Wike faction of the PDP is now in trouble following this judgment.
All individuals who purchased forms from the Wike-led faction are advised to retrieve their money.

In April, Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Joash Amupitan, was exposed in a web of digital imprints that allegedly suggested that he may have operated a partisan X (formerly Twitter) account. That account had made political comments and celebrated victory of the ruling APC.
Before we could spell Amupitan, INEC released a statement clearing its Chairman of any involvement. The electoral umpire predicated the so-called clearance on an internal review and forensic digital investigation by an "independent" cybersecurity expert.
Many Nigerians had questioned (and still continue to question) the validity of the clearance considering that Amupitan's INEC was a Judge in its own case. The probe was commissioned and paid for by INEC itself, meaning that the process lacked true impartiality. Moreover, INEC did not publicly disclose the identity of the independent cybersecurity firm or individuals who conducted the investigation. Truth be told, there was nothing independent about the independent investigation of the allegation of partisanship against Amupitan. Add that to the role of Amupitan in removing the names of the David Mark-led exco of the @ADCNig from the @inecnigeria portal, then you will come to the inevitable conclusion that Amupitan remains a danger to the opposition parties.
And now, with the 2027 elections just about 8 months away, Lere Olayinka, aide to Nyesom Wike, Tinubu’s Man Friday and Fixer is at the centre of a storm over allegations that he may have worked with yet-to-be identified INEC officials to illegally obtain data of a prospective aspirant in the NDC primaries. We are hearing that Lere had been grilled by the Nigerian Police. Knowing the modus operandi of Wike and the Tinubu-led administration, the aide of the FCT Minister may have been served grilled chicken and chips and not "grilled" contrary to media reports.
If we do not get to the bottom of this alleged criminal breach of data, we may be inadvertently be enabling what may turn out to be a large scale breach of data in the 2027 elections. We must never forget that data is life.
We are dealing with an INEC Chairman who is suspected to be partisan. When you add that to the #LereOlayinkaINECDataGate, which may actually be a dress rehearsal, what you may have is a scenario that may be worse than the enabled glitch of the 2023 election, which targeted only the results of the presidential election.
Prof. Joash Amupitan may have strategically removed himself from public consciousness, but everything still points in the direction that the current Chairman of INEC carries a lot of baggage that will make him bad for the 2027 General Elections.
At this point, in addition to the CTC of Supreme Court, if @inecnigeria still insists on disenfranchising the right of the BOT of @OfficialPDPNig to manage its internal party affairs by refusing recognizes its new interim leadership, it will be clear that it has declared war on all
