ADC must be on the ballot or democracy ends.

Keep reposting.

ALERT 🚨

After paying all the fees required, setting up for our convention tomorrow, the owner of Rainbow Event centre has just informed us that he has come under pressure from the FCDA and Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike that if he allows the ADC the use of his facilities, his licence will be revoked.

But we have already signed the contract with him. We will hold our convention tomorrow as planned at the Rainbow event centre.

We will not bow to this creeping tyranny. And definitely not to this petty tyrant.

ADC is rising, Nigeria is rising.

#AmupitanMustResign

[Ashiru Pandum @PandumAshiru]

INEC Chairman, Prof. Amupitan must resign now!

INEC Chairman, Prof. Amupitan must resign now!

INEC Chairman, Prof. Amupitan must resign now!

INEC Chairman, Prof. Amupitan must resign now!

INEC Chairman, Prof. Amupitan must resign now!

[Bolaji Abdullahi @BolajiADC]

WHY AMUPITAN MUST RESIGN NOW.

The recent revelation linking a pro-Bola Ahmed Tinubu tweet of 2023 to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Amupitan, is not merely disturbing, it is a grave affront to the integrity of our electoral system.

In a democracy, the umpire must be above suspicion. He must not only be independent, he must be seen, beyond any reasonable doubt, to be independent. That is the minimum standard required of anyone entrusted with the sacred duty of conducting free and fair elections.

However, more troubling is the desperate attempt to tamper with digital records, to erase evidence of his previous partisanship.

This is not a trivial matter. It is a calculated assault on truth and accountability.

A man who manipulates records to save himself cannot be trusted to safeguard the mandate of millions.

Over the past few days, it has been repeatedly revealed that Professor Amupitan, by his conduct, his utterances, and now by incontrovertible digital evidence, has fallen far below the standard expected of an electoral umpire. The referee cannot be running around in the shirt of one of the teams he’s supposed to officiate in a match.

This is why Professor Amupitan must resign.

Now. Anything less is an insult to the Nigerian people and a dangerous precedent for our democracy. Relying on this evidence, ADC will be updating our petitions to all relevant institutions, including to foreign governments and the Nigeria Bar Association, NBA.

We will also renew and escalate our civil disobedience action until the INEC Chairman leaves office.

[Ashiru Pandum @PandumAshiru]

APC is defending INEC.
INEC is defending a faction of the opposition.
And somehow, INEC is still defending APC

#AmupitanMustResign

[Bolaji Abdullahi @BolajiADC]

Between 7:00 PM on April 1st, when @inecnigeria released its statement, and 5:00 PM today, over half a million (500,000) new Nigerians have joined the ADC.

[Abdul-Aziz Na'ibi Abubakar @jrnaib2]

The best way for the ADC to escape this trap by Tinubu and INEC is for Sen. David Mark and Aregbesola to step aside and allow the old ADC leadership, led by former National Chairman Ralph Nwosu, to take over and lead the convention, as they are 100% with us.

We should not expect justice from the Judiciary or INEC; we must find a way to survive them. We are running out of time.

This is my opinion, correct me if I'm wrong.

NIGERIA UPDATE - Nigeria’s Growth Crisis Is a Talent-Allocation Crisis - by: Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai - 1st April, 2026 - Part 1

Nigeria is often described as a paradox. We are a nation of extraordinary human capital—energetic, inventive, resilient—yet our economic outcomes fall persistently short of our potential. Growth remains shallow, productivity weak, firms struggle to scale, and prosperity does not spread widely enough.

Today, I want to advance a clear and uncomfortable proposition:

Nigeria’s growth problem is not primarily a shortage of talent, capital, or ideas.
It is a problem of where our best talent goes—and why.

This is not a moral argument about individuals. It is a political-economy argument about incentives.

1. The Core Insight: Talent Follows Returns

Across societies and across history, highly capable people choose occupations that offer the highest returns to ability, especially where small differences in skill translate into large rewards. Economists describe this as increasing returns to talent.

When those returns are highest in entrepreneurship, innovation, and production, economies grow.
When those returns are highest in rent-seeking—activities that redistribute existing wealth rather than create new value—growth slows or stalls .

People do not wake up intending to harm their country. They respond rationally to incentives.

So the right question for Nigeria is not “Why are people corrupt?”
It is: “What activities does our system reward most handsomely?”

2. Nigeria’s Current Incentive Structure

Let us be honest about Nigeria’s reality.
•GDP growth was about 4.1% in 2024, respectable on paper but insufficient for a country with our demographics.
•GDP per capita remains around US$1,084, placing Nigeria among lower-income economies despite our scale.
•Informal employment accounts for roughly 93% of the labour force, meaning most firms are small, fragile, and defensive rather than scalable.
•Nigeria’s tax-to-GDP ratio is only about 8.2%, one of the lowest in Africa—signalling weak fiscal capacity and heavy reliance on discretionary collection rather than broad, rule-based taxation.

These numbers are not abstract. They describe an economy where scale is risky, visibility attracts predation, and long-term investment struggles to compete with short-term access.

In such an environment, the most capable Nigerians often find that the fastest and safest returns come not from building large, productive enterprises—but from proximity to state power, regulatory discretion, political brokerage, or legal and administrative contestation.

This is exactly the mechanism identified in the economic literature: when the “market” for rent-seeking is large, talent flows there .

3. Why Rent-Seeking Damages Growth

Rent-seeking harms an economy in three cumulative ways.

First, it absorbs labour and capital without creating output. Resources are spent competing over existing wealth rather than expanding the economic frontier.

Second, it acts like a tax on productive activity. Businesses face delays, uncertainty, informal payments, and arbitrary enforcement—raising costs and discouraging investment.

Third—and most damaging—it diverts the very people who would otherwise be the most productive entrepreneurs and innovators.

When the brightest minds are pulled away from production, the quality of entrepreneurship falls, technological progress slows, and the economy’s long-run growth rate declines .

This is why rent-seeking does not merely lower income levels; it can permanently reduce growth.

[Hadiza Isma El-Rufai @hadizel]

I was there. No such equipment was found. They lie. But why? An agency with no credibility at all.

[Atiku Abubakar @atiku]

The health and welfare of @elrufai is a matter of grave concern to his family, friends, and associates.

The Federal Government owes Nigerians clarity. It must state clearly which agency is holding him, whether the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC), the State Security Service (SSS), or any other arm of the security establishment.

Secrecy in matters of detention only fuels suspicion. Nigerians deserve transparency.

Whichever agency is responsible has a constitutional duty to guarantee his safety, dignity, access to medical care, and access to his family and legal representatives.

Reports that he suffered a nosebleed while family members were allegedly denied access are deeply troubling and unacceptable in a democracy.

If the authorities cannot guarantee his health and fundamental rights, the lawful and humane course of action is to grant him bail without delay. If anything happens to El-Rufai, this government will be held accountable.

More troubling, however, is the growing perception of selective prosecution, in which opposition figures are aggressively pursued while others are conspicuously shielded from investigation or interrogation. Anti-corruption must not become a political weapon.

The continued detention of El-Rufai under unclear circumstances raises serious questions about motive. Anti-corruption cannot be credible when it appears partisan, coercive, or strategically timed.

Justice must be transparent. Accountability must be even-handed. And the rule of law must apply to all; without fear, without favour, and without political bias. -AA
