Imagine equipping all 176,846 polling units in Nigeria with body cameras from China at just $10 each or less.
Total cost: approximately ₦2.42bn.
Every representative streams election-day activities to a central server where Nigerians can watch any polling unit in real time. If we can’t see your video, we run there as means high risk.
We can make election transparency affordable. The question is: who is willing to make it happen?
Dear Governor @PNMbah
In 2022 @GovernorObaseki was once occupying the seat you are occupying in Enugu. So also was @elrufai occupying the same in Kaduna.
Where are both today? These are lessons everyone must learn from.
I personally believe @elrufai was one of the most instrumental persons that helped Tinubu to be where he is not supposed to be but see what is being done to him.
Let Enugu people breathe!!!!!
Call your people to order!

If Dora Akunyili’s words about Obi don’t make you pause, nothing will.
This wasn’t a campaign. This was one of Nigeria’s most respected public servants speaking about a man she knew and worked with.
Then tell me: what exactly did she see that made her speak this highly of him?
Another harmless gist 😅
Political tears edition.
This morning, one strong Atiku supporter created an online poll for the top three presidential candidates, Peter Obi, Tinubu and Atiku.
They shared the poll across their various WhatsApp platforms and aggressively voted for Atiku. Atiku started leading with about 71% while Peter Obi was at 10%.
Thinking that they've won the poll, Atiku supporters started posting it on Twitter and began to brag how Atiku has hijacked Peter Obi's online support base. According to them, for Atiku to win that poll, it only means that he's the man to beat in 2027.
Some Obidients saw poll and laughed. They asked Atiku supporters while they hoarded the poll since morning and immediately challenged Atiku supporters that they're giving them only 2 hours and Peter Obi would top the poll.
With a few reposts, the poll became a trend and the views tripled dramatically. Within just few hours, the changed. Peter Obi started leading with 53% while Atiku trailed behind with just 43%.
Atiku supporters got angry and started claiming that online poll doesn't matter again.
Sha, Obidients have warned the Atiku guy not to delete the poll. That they must finish what they started.

If you are a Nigerian still going to school to bag a degree I’m sorry to say you are just wasting your time because your president has legalized Certificate Forgery in the New Electoral Act
This means you dont even need to go to school to run for a political office in Nigeria Just go to Oluwole to forge a result and present it to INEC and you are good to go
This is the consequences of letting a druggie and a certificate forger to run a country
Sowore blackmailed Okonjo Iweala, harassed her several times, wrote petitions to Yale to strip her off her degrees and honors.
He hounded GEJ and ushered in Buhari, as soon as APC took over he changed style of reporting and turned to a blogger.
Fast forward to 2023 election, he became a sworn image assassin of Peter Obi, with zero word or opinion on Tinubu, whom he reported on his drug crime in 2011.
He never brought that issue up, did talk about anything about Tinubu but focused on his attacks and opposition on Peter Obi.
That fraud tries to be in every conversation, just to neutralize and compromise it for the establishment.
If you take him seriously, you need your head examined!
In 2017, Malam Nasir El-Rufai wrote a 30 page memo to Buhari, criticizing his style of leadership (appointment inclusive).
Shehu Sani, the erstwhile Senator representing Kaduna central called on APC NWC to punish Elrufa'i for criticising the president.
Today, the same award winning Transistor Senator is saying that Elrufa'i never said anything when Buhari was in power.
Thank God for the internet. Otherwise, some expired political medalists may have denied sharing transistor radio and Camel as their constituency projects.
The irony is one of the issue El-Rufai raised in that Memo is the sidelining of Bola Tinubu, the national leader of the APC then, and it is not because they are friends but because he wants Buhari to succeed.

Thirty-two months after being incharge and instead of living by his powerful words, he now dumps National Grid that has been performing abysmally under his watch.
Those were the powerful words then that inspired hope among Nigerians who longed for light in their homes, stability for their businesses, and growth for their nation. Yet, while Nigerians are still grappling with that unfulfilled, categorical electoral promise - and without clear communication on the obstacles, if any, we read of provision in 2025 budget about the ₦10 billion for solar power at Aso Rock, and in 2026 budget another humongous amount for upgrade and maintenance and now we are being scarcitically told that Presidential Villa has planned to be disconnected from the national grid to rely entirely on solar.
It is a gross neglect and deeply worrisome when the seat of power abandons the national grid. One would expect government institutions to lead efforts to strengthen and expand the grid so that other establishments, and ultimately, citizens can benefit. If those in authority disconnect themselves from the system, who then will connect the ordinary Nigerian to reliable power?
Promoting renewable energy, as solar systems do, is commendable and necessary for the future. However, this situation reflects a deeper concern: governance lacking compassion and commitment to the governed. You cannot tell the people to fast while feasting yourself, securing yourself while Nigerians remain unsecured.
Nigerians do not expect 100% fulfilment of promises, but they do expect 100% effort, accompanied by measurable improvements and clear explanations when gaps exist. Leadership must serve the people, not isolate itself from their daily struggles. -PO

@elrufai What if one is afraid of Northern bloc votes going against him? What if that CIA asset decided to activate his channels, lobby on behalf of previous lobbies 2 recreate a dangerous move to kill the northern votes, buy all the Southern govs and rig the southern votes to win
