Nigerian politics thrives on an ethical deficit. Do you agree? So, why do you continue to agree that there are strains that must not ever be crossed? Why are you pained by the lies politicians heap on you on their method to energy? They’re at it once more.
With almost two years to the subsequent elections, they’ve began unleashing their lies about their love for Nigeria. They’re newest patriots to rescue Nigerians from the hardship that the identical fellows imposed on the nation with uncaring insurance policies that noticed all sides of Nigerian life decline to unimaged depths.
Is there any title they didn’t name Goodluck Jonathan? What story did they not inform about Nigeria collapsing until they have been allowed to imagine management?
They’re again to hunt rehabilitation as they’ve misplaced their maintain on energy. They can’t dwell exterior energy.
Reality shouldn’t be permitted right here, is a line that matches with most politicians. In uncommon circumstances of momentary forgetfulness, semblance of reality seeps out to the annoyance of those that imagine they’ve all tracks coated.
Ask immediately’s messiahs who’ve discovered shed within the African Democratic Congress, ADC, what instantly made the All Progressives Congress, APC, unfit for his or her membership. Virtually all these in ADC are haunted by the lies they informed Nigerians in 2014. They want greater lies to cowl them. They informed lies, they knew they have been lies. They deceived gullible Nigerians into handing our nation to energy mongers.
Which ones is keen to confess his function in getting Nigeria to the place we have no idea? They be a part of us in complaining about insecurity, starvation, hardship, poverty, which might be roaming everywhere in the land. Might that be their apology? Like in 2014 once they spewed lies in all places for the 2015 elections, they’ve began a lot earlier this time.
Alhaji Abubakar Atiku propelled APC to prominence in 2015. He was resulting in the rostrum for the social gathering’s ticket when Muhammadu Buhari beat him to it. Atiku relocated to Dubai to rely his losses, unavailable to supply vital management till he returned to contest in 2019 as presidential candidate of the Individuals’s Democratic Celebration, PDP, the identical social gathering he deserted as a result of Jonathan, a sitting president wouldn’t be forged apart for Atiku.
Has Atiku apologised to Nigerians for his half in Nigeria’s precipitous descent to hurt? His obsession with being president leaves no room for Atiku to contemplate how his ambition has affected Nigeria since his on-and-off affiliations with PDP since 2007.
If ADC is to retrieve no matter is left of Nigeria, ought to Atiku be ready to be requested to step down in 2027? He’s already campaigning that delegates ought to resolve ADC’s presidential candidate.
One of many arguments in 2015 was that the North wanted to finish its eight years that Umaru Musa Yar’Adua’s demise abbreviated. Does Atiku keep in mind that? Is he the one to finish the 2027-31 four-year stretch for the South?
There’s Nasir el-Rufai who can not stand discussions that don’t recognise the primacy of cattle over human beings or any safety plans that embody getting Fulani herders out of the forests and farmers. He supported and campaigned for Tinubu’s victory, our present plight. If Tinubu had appointed him a Minister, would he be in ADC?
Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi shredded the Governors Discussion board, he as soon as led, to mark the exodus of PDP Governors to APC, a few of those that remained in PDP have been harmful insiders. His expectation was that Buhari would have rewarded his loyalty in 2023 with the APC presidential ticket. He needs to save lots of Nigerians from Tinubu?
And have you ever ever questioned what Peter Obi is doing in that crowd? Is he not seeing the indicators that ADC shouldn’t be the coalition to rescue Nigerian? Obi ran with Atiku in 2019 however Obi’s politics must be extra elevated than such a coalition.
There are others, however these are probably the most distinguished figures in ADC. Should you watch, they’re consumed with who might be President. They don’t have any doc to convey our nation again to relevance, save our folks from rampaging terrorists in our forests, farms. Tinubu, in uncommon moments, provides each excuse for not tackling the criminals frontally.
Once we consider voting Tinubu out in 2027, it isn’t to exchange him with these whose selfishness sees them flinging the curiosity of Nigerians round for them to entry energy as they’ve completed since 2015.
In 2019, like now, Tinubu’s authorities is insensitive, inattentive, uncaring, unprepared to attends to the day by day challenges earlier than Nigerians. Nigerians nonetheless voted APC due to the burden of the lies they have been informed by lots of the APC messiahs.

Tinubu, his authorities, his officers are torpid. They’re wanting blaming Nigerians for the state of the nation. They may very well be proper.
After eight years of Buhari blighted Nigeria in ways in which left the nation past recognition, Nigerians gleefully voted for a worse model of Buhari.
Tinubu is jittery, determined and can do all he can to cling to energy. His admirers say he’s a strategist. His methods go away Nigerians poorer, hungrier, extra insecure, driving 1000’s overseas – overseas now means any nation however Nigeria – on the slightest imagined alternative.
A coalition of Nigerians who’re passionate in regards to the well being of our nation is required to guide Nigerians out of the present miasma. The current pretenders to that function must clarify to Nigerians why the lies, hatred, bigotry, and propaganda that they procured in 2015 to sink a authorities that was by much better than something that they’ve supported up to now 10 years.
Not apologising to Nigerians earlier than assuming they’re the brand new supreme is the form of vanity that shouldn’t have any place in post-Tinubu Nigeria.
Lastly…
We heard what Vice President Kashim Shettima mentioned in regards to the reality, constitutional too, that the President can not take away an elected Councillor to not discuss of a Governor. We additionally understood what he meant. Those that understood that to imply that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was improper to take away Governor Sim Fubara are additionally proper. I’ve seen a rejoinder from State Home which laboured to get folks to re-learn, and un-learn how President Goodluck Jonathan didn’t take away Shettima, as Governor of Borno State in 2014 via state of emergency. Why is State Home ever petrified of historical past? Shettima’s remarks have been on the presenation of “OPL 245: The Inside Story of the $1.3 Billion Oil Block” by Mohammed Bello Adoke, SAN, which held on the Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja, on Thursday, 10 July 2025.
Donald Trump, US President, is unaware of very staple items, amongst them, that Liberia, which was established as a colony for ex-slaves from the US, is an English-speaking nation, therefore his comment that the President of Liberia speaks “good English”. Clearly, Trump reached his determination too rapidly. He ought to have waited to listen to Tinubu’s Chicagoan accent.
JAMB has spent years praising the effectivity of its methods. The constancy of the methods is coming underneath one other scrutiny in a matter of months. The very best scorer in JAMB’s simply chaotically concluded examination is reportedly a Nigerian college undergraduate. How did he sit for JAMB which claims “no one can matriculate twice”? The most effective reply from JAMB is a hypothesis that he may very well be a mercenary who wrote the examination for one more candidate.
