The First Lady, like her husband, @officialABAT is an astute politician. She knows what works best for Nigerian politics: give women party leaders brand new cars and give akara money to captive voters who will still vote you on the basis of inducement, ethnicity and religion. I applaud their dexterity.
The only problem is that the competences for being astute politician do not translate to competences to govern well.
Nigeria will continue to stagnate and the poor will be poorer under this astuteness.

Sections 63, 138 of Electoral Act Dangerous Will Sabotage Voting at Polling Level - Igini
Section 63 of the 2026 Electoral Act has reintroduced something very dangerous: a ballot paper used for the 2027 election that does not bear INECโs official manufacturer and security features may be accepted by the presiding officer. By implication, the presiding officer has been given the discretion to accept ballot papers notwithstanding the absence of the official mark, and to count such ballot papers. What that means is that politicians who have access to INECโs serial and security features could produce their own ballot papers.

We once had a President who didn't give a hoot about the opposition. He allowed them do their thing and refused to subvert justice, even when it went against his part. We once had a President!!!! May Baba's soul continue to rest in peace.
If Tinubu is confident heโd win [the election] in 2027, tell him to tell Nuhu Ribadu, his national security adviser, to leave the judiciary and INEC alone.
