Selling electoral legitimacy is like sweet-sweet codeine for these judges
They have tasted the sweetness from the dark art of stealing & selling the people's will, and they are not willing to let go
Hon. Abdussamad Dasuki is once again doing the work many are afraid to do. On the floor of the House, he has exposed Section 63(2) of the Electoral Act; a dangerous loophole that allows ballot papers without INEC’s official mark to still be counted. This is an open invitation for fake ballots and a direct threat to the integrity of the 2027 elections.
Even the Speaker looked visibly uncomfortable.
That alone tells you everything.
Dasuki is standing for the people’s mandate. Every serious democrat should stand with him.
Kwankwaso: The Political Contractor in Chief- A Rejoinder
In a recent remark, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, the reluctant Vice Presidential candidate of an outlier opposition political party NDC cried out with an spurious accusations claiming party men and women of ADC, the mainstream opposition party for attacking him for working for the incumbent party APC
These assertions by RMK is based on false reasoning, and can be said to be partially true or untrue. It is untrue because these accusations are already in the public domain, and not limited to members of the ADC. In short, the accusation is more heightened within the northern political eco-system, especially amongst the Talakawa who have notoriously nick-named Kwankwaso as the ‘Kano Snake’ for his dubious 2027 political conducts
And then it is true because every of RMK’s action since 2023 raises eyebrows. For a man that bragged being superior to Peter in every endeavours of life to eventually become his VP, which he so much detest, so what changed if not in service of a mouth-watery contract from APC?
Recall, that few weeks before @KwankwasoRM joined the ADC, he had been engaged in endless negotiations with Bola in APC, at one point he was seen strolling out of Aso-Rock Villa. And then when he finally joined the ADC, left with @PeterObi almost immediately to the NDC in service of the political interest of the incumbent, and never the opposition
The aftermath of RMK’s action has not been different. It has been characterised by so many lacklustre defence of Peter, his refusal to acknowlegde Peter as his boss, and non-targeted, low-energy political campaigns intentionally designed to make no impact for their ticket and political party. Recently, RMK was allegedly spotted in a compromising position with the Bola presidential campaign DG Senator Yari, and if the reason isn’t for the supposed contract, then to discuss what exactly?
Also, his unhinged continual attacks and name-dropping of the main opposition @atiku , while almost never mentioning or attacking the incumbent he supposedly wants to unseat as a running mate makes it even more suspicious at best and treacherous at worst
As the 2027 political campaign progresses, it becomes more apparent to the public that RMK is not a running mate going for a win, but needs the campaign as a means to a future end
From a needless public declaration of the one-term deal signed with @PeterObi, RMK and his adviser Buba Galadima sees Peter’s campaign as an opportunity to market RMK in the South to solve a southern popularity problem associated with a fringe northern politician like RMK. To achieve their 2031 plot, they intentionally have to guarantee the reelection of APC’s Bola, rather than ADC’s Atiku. Their lazy maths is easy to see from miles afar
While it is a norm for Nigerian politicians to scheme, it is seeming like RMK 2027 schemes has gone beyond the standard of Nigerian politicians, and to an extent that irritates. For the first time in modern Nigerian history, we have a VP candidate treacherously rooting for an election loss for the very ticket he is running on
And let’s be clear, the political treachery of RMK here doesn’t automatically make Peter a victim, as Peter by account of his own actions has been treacherous too and is also scheming in his own corner. Theirs is a ticket built on treachery, they are both being clever than half to each other, where both believes they are maliciously using each other to further their respective political ambitions. This is both comical and toxic at same time
To conclude, rather than shedding crocodile tears for being called out for his double dealings, RMK, the supposed contractor-in-chief should focus on fulfilling any contractual terms within any agreement framework entered in a bid to undercut the main opposition ADC and Atiku. But in doing this, @KwankwasoRM must be rest assured that ADC and her members will be responding to this offshoot political wing of the APC led by him
@oMoTonsore Mazi Nnaemeka is not competing either…only his platform is the reflection of the diversity of Nigeria within apc…not the other guy’s, and that’s a mere fact….hence your unnecessary coordinated attacks on him will be resisted by any means possible
We all have to take the need for an effective healthcare system as a priority for all.
Do not wait to be compromised before you
Take this commitment seriously 👇🏾
You claim you want to change a narrative, yet you are the very one giving it a platform. We had a man to man conversation, but the applause was too loud 👏, and the attention too intoxicating for my words to find a place. Somewhere along the way, you lost sight of what you stood for and found yourself fighting battles that were never yours, even against your own side.
You allowed yourself to be convinced that it was a competition, and sadly, you believed it. Yet both sides were simply doing their own thing, existing in their own spaces without interference. Each had its own strengths, unique characteristics, and something valuable to offer. There was room for both to thrive, but somehow, you were made to see rivalry where none needed to exist. You turned coexistence into competition and allowed yourself to become a soldier in a war that never needed to be fought.
Not every round of applause is genuine, not every smile is sincere, and not every battle is yours to fight. 🎯 The same voices cheering you on today may one day make a caricature of you, and when that day comes, be prepared to swallow the bitter taste of it all. Time has a way of revealing what words could not. ⏳
Through emotional blackmail and subtle manipulation, you have been turned against the very people who once supported you, stood by you, and genuinely looked out for your interests. Sadly, you may not even realize how far things have gone.
I tried my best. I stood against multiple odds, defended you when it was easier to remain silent, and spoke to you as one man to another. 🤝 But there is only so much one can give when sincere counsel continues to fall on deaf ears. And those two words from yesterday, “Fuck you,” still echo in my head, a painful reminder that, ultimately, everyone makes their own choices.
The opposition saw a crack, quietly widened it, and you walked right into it. What could have been resolved with understanding has now become something entirely different. And here we are.
Integrity is not something you can simply purchase off a shelf. It takes years to build, moments to compromise, and sometimes a lifetime to regain. Once lost, even the highest price may not be enough to buy it back.
Good luck. 🍀 When the music fades, the applause dies down, and the crowd disperses, every man must answer for the path he chose.
At the end of it all, every man for himself.
