I have no living heroes.
Imagine one had made an hero out of OBJ and then he turned in 2015 against the very party he had told you to support.
We follow principles and ideals, not men who can change.
Wifey just observed that a number of the men in our estate are on phone calls in their cars and I ventured my honest thought that those calls might be business calls.
The look I received in reply has discouraged me from going to 'warm' the vehicles tonight.
That lady died seeing those evil tweets. She went into the afterlife knowing some of her fellow citizens were mocking her.
Notification after notification were scornful tweets from APC trolls.
She found scorn where she wanted hope and something in her soul died, she died twice.
INEC conducted presidential elections and collated the results - okay.
Court says release the documents to PDP and Labour, INEC refuses.
PDP produces agents’ copies of the documents, INEC releases to PDP, delays Labour, Labour sources round to PDP for some agents’ copies; INEC…
Abba Kyari should be sacked.
This is gross irresponsibility and negligence, exposing the President of the Federal Republic to a Virus after being exposed to it in 2 countries demands nothing short of immediate sack as CoS.
But the question is: can Abba Kyari sack Abba Kyari?
ChannelsTV is under pressure from the FG through the NBC and the DSS and their presenters have been "invited" to Abuja.
If we've called out the weakness of media organisations before now, only fair that we stand by them when Govt moves against them when they do the right thing.
Abba Kyari testing positive to Coronavirus after sitting in on meeting of the Coronavirus Taskforce tells you a lot about what that Taskforce is (not) doing.
They knew he had gone to Germany and Egypt, yet nobody asked him to self-isolate?
“Get professionals” - they said no.
They asked you to rig small small, you went and rigged into over-voting - and against a candidate who was riding a populist political wave.
Now, even INEC can not defend the count against the scrutiny of opposing candidates, and your new friends are wondering who sent you.
My twitter handle remains under my control as a platform to put across my views to the general public, in defiance of an illegal ban not backed by any legal instrument other than the word of mouth and in full exercise of my rights as a freeborn Nigerian, tweeting from Nigeria.
First they came for the Shiites, and I kept quiet, because I was not a Shiite.
Then they came for IPOB, and I kept quiet, because I was not IPOB.
Then they came for Judges, and I kept quiet, because I was not a Judge.
When they come for me, who will be left to speak for me?
Ladies and Gentlemen, the intelligence of Atiku and Obi combined will make the most brilliant interviewer look quite flummoxed and ordinary.
Kadaria is good on a good day,
With The Osinbajos: she looked better,
But with Atiku and Obi, she’s struggling.
#NGTheCandidates
You know how to move to Kenya for Nnamdi Kanu, you know how to move Benin Republic for Sunday Igboho but Cote d'Ivoire is suddenly a problem...
Because your diplomatic powers are ready to move against people you dislike - but never ready to move towards saving a life.
I've never applied for any formal job in my life - always been called upon to take them.
I end up selective and deliberate about the job I take based on how it fits into my life's trajectory.
I'm grateful to Jehovah El-Stratagem for this Grace, one which I do not take lightly.
This Lagos thing is just shameful.
In Akesan unit 004, Oba Palace, Alimosho, Lagos: Igbo names expunged from Voters’ Register. Card Readers recognize their PVC and authenticate finger prints but still prevented from voting.
Whoever is doing this thing can’t die well honestly.
Bola Tinubu’s Presidency will be the official institutionalisation of forgery, dubiousness, duplicity and fraud in politics in Nigeria and it is our collective duty to stop him.
Nothing about that man has ever been straightforward and a victory for him is defeat for society.
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's confirmation as DG of the WTO is yet another proof of the sterling quality of Ministers who served Nigeria under previous Govts, compared with what is currently obtainable.
Hers is a victory of truth over falsehood peddled by social media ponmo boys.
This NDA matter is one that Nigerians should refuse to move on easily from. That our Govt is shameless does not mean we also must be.
I challenge the press to set this agenda, starting from here:
If the fellow in charge of the CCTV was sleeping, can we at least see the footage?
My daughter came home two weeks ago - voted Head Girl of the Nursery section of her school by 12 to 11 votes.
"11 people don't like me" she concluded and told me. Had to quickly clear that thought from her blessed young mind.
Before one raises a Muhammadu Buhari unknowingly.
Only few SARS officers ever attained the notoriety of James Nwafor of Awkuzu - based on his bloodlust and oppression of young people in Anambra State.
A friend just called now to say that Gov. Willie Obiano has sacked him as an aide, good step - now he should be prosecuted.
Sowore betrayed himself because he disliked the then President, we now betray ourselves because we dislike Sowore.
We can dislike someone fiercely but still stand by the principle - this is where Sowore missed it, this is where we ourselves must not also miss it.
Atiku woke woke up in akure on Tuesday, drove to campaign stops in Ilesha, Osogbo, Ile-Ife all in Osun, went to Ibadan in Oyo and then flew to Lagos where he held several meetings.
And tonight we trend
#AtikuInAmerica
Nigerians:
#LGNWA
with a President full of life.
Malami's order of prosecution for tweeting is a declaration of war on young people by pushing them into the trap of security agencies of state who now have one more illegal reason to extort, detain, harass or even kill anyone for the alleged 'crime' of using Twitter.
Been hoping to do the MKO Abiola/June 12 thread as promised before now but events are sometimes beyond one’s control. Seeing as tomorrow is the 25th anniversary of that date, I’m sure it is definitely a good time to do it.
And so, here goes: a Thread on MKO Abiola and June 12.
Whatever the record, history will say that Sanusi Lamido was once the Emir of Kano.
Sanusi will become even more relevant in the politics of the North and Nigeria - and I'll be all too happy to see him angry.
Ganduje and his Aso Rock backers will not be in power forever.
For a man who had literally shot the way into power for other military dictators, Sani Abacha’s ascension into the office of the Head of State in November 1993 was remarkably bloodless and executed with such smoothness that for years, many debated whether it was a coup, or not.
This life sha...
So Tinubu and Oyetola will now have to beg "Gov." Ademola Adeleke to use the Osogbo Stadium or Freedom Park for APC presidential campaign in Osun. After they denied us same right for gubernatorial election.
Anyway, PDP is a loving party...🙂
No Government in any Democracy is ever more powerful than The People - our Constitution affirms that Sovereignty belongs to The People and is held only in trust by Government.
Nigerians say
#EndSARS
and therefore to Govt: it is only a matter of time - The People are Sovereign.
Heads up:
Osun PDP and Senator Ademola Adeleke have received notice of judgement from the Osun State Governorship Elections Tribunal to be delivered on Friday March 22, 2019.
I followed the case and if logic and justice remain the standard, PDP will win this decisively.
Look at voters running for dear lives: what happened to Snatch At Your Own Risk??
APC thugs deliberately sent to disrupt the voting process in Igbo dominated areas where PDP is expected to win - thus is systematic rigging

For those who plan to join politics from this struggle - most important thing for you to know is that Youths in Politics are an 'endangered specie', in both Youth and Political circles.
Youths will look at you, as a Politician,
Politicians will look at you, as a Youth.
JAMB holds exams every year in locations all over the country and manages to deploy sensitive examination materials to all parts of Nigeria simultaneously.
Whatever excuse is brought will only find me suggesting that maybe JAMB should be conducting elections.
Or WAEC.
They arrest ours - we shout and raise alarm.
They arrest theirs - same we shout and raise alarm while their own fellows keep quiet.
What in the manner of a cult is this that you cannot even speak the truth when your own comrade is disappeared?

Northern Governors are presently putting pressure on

Hon. Mojisola Alli-Macaulay of the APC defeated Hon. Dipo Olorunrinu of the PDP by about 300 votes (7,407 to 7,129) to win her seat in the LSHA representing Amuwo Odofin Constituency 1.
Dipo's story is one I know, worth recounting for people intending to go into politics.
Umar Musa Yar'Adua: sworn in on May 29, 2007.
Next month: he met with Fashola in Lagos and agreed to release the seized LGA funds and in same June, publicly congratulated Peter Obi for winning back his Gov seat from PDP, leaving no room for shenanigans.
Oh, the South loved him.
Pls disregard all false APC projections - what they’re seeing is 2015 results.
PDP cleared all three senatorial seats in Benue and Atiku won the state with a very clear majority.

#NigeriaDecides2019
If PDP merely hopes that those frustrated with the status quo such as the so-called "Soro Soke Generation" will show up and out for them at elections without any targeted and deliberate strategy to woo/engage them directly then it has no business contesting elections.
When I tell you APC isn't such a smart party, believe it.
Saraki announced resumption to discuss Buhari's breach of constitution, APC started mobilising Senators to impeach him.
Saraki cancelled and took the matter to the Supreme Court for interpretation.
Saraki 100 - APC 0
Today seems to be “Drag-Nigeria-Because-Of-Buhari Day” across the entire globe - an incompetent leader will shame you last last and Buhari is shaming us from continent to globe.
Sad part is you can’t defend the incompetence without looking foolish - don’t try it.
Buhari is very interested in 2023, but not for himself.
He will pick his successor and back him with the full extent of our state resources as well as the power of his base in the North.
Defeating APC in 2023 will be a very very tough task, requiring strategy and discipline.
Goodluck Jonathan went to debate in 2015 - some of you who voted the Buhari who didn’t show up to debate are here fighting an Atiku who returned to debate but abstained in order not to become target practice for underdogs.
Pls fight Buhari who’s in Aso Rock and didn’t show up.
Bola Tinubu got the APC ticket by a subtle threat to destroy the party otherwise.
He won that battle but will lose the war: many members of the APC will stand aside and watch his career end in a crushing defeat.
2023 was on the ballot yesterday, and it was Power to The People.
Kudos to all PDP field agents awake and defending votes all across the country.
Some of us are awake with you but all of us are grateful to you.
Victory is in Sight.
#NigeriaDecides2019
The main reason Abacha loot is being discovered under Buhari is -
This regime is a shadow/part of the Abacha Establishment, knows where the funds are and is interested in getting out their own cut of the loot, some of which was looted via PTF and Afri-Projects Consortium.
Sometimes I imagine what it is like to be a woman in a country like Nigeria and everytime I run away from that meditation because it is extremely scary and terrifying.
To be a woman here is to be a prey without clear identity of the predator because they all look alike.
Differentiating between identical twins is difficult; if you’ve not known them long enough.
APC and PDP are identical twins from the same ruling/political elite - I agree.
But I’ve known two sets of identical twins in my life and I learnt a lesson I should share about them.
Remember how we used to look at some African countries and feel Nigeria was simply too woke to ever become like that?
Yep. I remember too.
We lost that with this regime.
That our Senator Abaribe, I don't know what plan the future holds for him or what he plans for himself but I wish him greatness in every.
Men like him emerge in times of crisis with their clarity of mind. Everytime I see him (making sense as always) my heart wishes him well.
They expected Fayose to run away and placed him on an illegal watchlist while he still had immunity.
His T-Shirt says it all “EFCC I’M HERE!”
His bags are packed - only those who have something to hide retreat from the tyranny of the cowards in power.
#FayoseIsNotAfraid
On August 11, 1979, Presidential Elections held across the then 19 states of Nigeria with Shehu Shagari and Alex Ekwueme winning the majority votes of 5.7m to Awolowo and Umeadi’s 4.9m votes.
The controversy that followed however almost derailed the transition programme.
Almost feels like this shouldn’t end, but like every good thing,

has to come to an end.
But it gets

from here and I say again:
This is Nigeria’s best Presidential contenders ever in history.
Vote Atiku-Obi on Feb 16 and Let’s Get Nigeria Working Again.
I’m not sure two people ever feuded publicly on this app as much as Omojuwa and Oddy, attacking only directly a couple times but most times subbing each other like crazy or RTing insults by others.
This pic, taken on the day or around the day someone reconciled them in 2014 was…
Buhari's announcement by INEC as winner of the February 23 elections killed Democracy.
Today March 9, 2019, it haa been an uphill task getting voters to turn up - since their votes won't count, they may as well celebrate the funeral ceremony of our Democracy in their homes.
In 1997, Musiliu Obanikoro resumed as Chairman of Lagos Island LGA and saw a long queue - workers' salaries being paid in cash.
As a former staff of Barclays Bank, Marina, he directed that salary accounts should be opened for all staff.
22 year after in 2020: the Buhari regime.
I think people are confusing what His Excellency Atiku Abubakar is seeking out in this Chicago matter.
It’s s beyond what some people travelled abroad to find, or even the common speculations about the gender of the said Bola Tinubu.
Our Atiku is deep, and deeply strategic.
Osinbajo has a chance to look like a leader in his closing statement but he misused it with a cheap and worn out rhetoric.
Obi ignored the foolish jab, thanked his wife (very classy) and stayed on the
#GNWA
message - this is Leadership.
#2019Debate
The erudite senior lawyer, Chris Uche (SAN), leading Atiku's legal team, is yet another reason why ethnicity must never blind us to competence:
He used the sole INEC witness that eventually showed up at the PEPC to tender yet another bombshell document today, this time: the…

Following months of deep meditation, I can today confirm that I have picked up a nomination form and will be contesting for the position of State Publicity Secretary of Lagos State Peoples Democratic Party at the State Congress next month.
This Buhari in 2001 led a Northern delegation all the way to Ibadan in Oyo State after a farmers/herdsmen clash and said to the then Gov. Lam Adesina:
"Why are your people killing my people".
Lam's response:
"You as a former President of NIGERIA should be above tribe sir."
Kudos to the Adeleke family for their non-political donation of 20 bags of rice and 5 bags of beans to each of the 332 wards in Osun State and with a clear instruction that not only PDP members should benefit.
This is how it should be at such times and may God reward them.
Buhari won 72,000 votes in one LGA in Rivers State.
Let politicians kuku sit down with INEC and be allocating results in a peaceful manner rather than putting Nigeria through the charade of elections.
Bola Tinubu is going to be served breakfast this month.
APC presidential aspirants will soon start stepping down for "the anointed alternative" while insisting that APC goes to consensus rather than go through primaries.
Tinubu will share the cold breakfast with Osinbajo.
The Expectation of the APC was that the PDP Convention would end in Violence and Bitterness.
This Week, I Pray that the Expectations of Those who Hate to see Good Things will be Cut Short over Your Life and they Wait to See you Fall, They Will See Your Rise.
Have a Great Week.
Looool 🤣🤣
This woman and Buhari must have had serious beef in another life with the way she’s attacking him - Savage.
I don’t know either her or the interviewer, just saw the video floating around 🚶🏾♂️
RT to cure the remaining few minds.
PDP just won in the Court of Appeal on yet another Federal HOR seat in Ogun - the number keeps increasing daily as we come to the end of election petitions: confirming that the February 23 elections were rigged for APC by INEC but our Judiciary lacks the courage to remove Buhari.
The judgement removing Gov. Emeka Ihedioha from office as Imo State Governor and installing Hope Uzodinma in his stead is a travesty of justice that defies all judicial logic.
The Supreme Court is final but not because it is always right; it is only right because it is final.
Saraki’s loss of his Senate seat is confirmed, a Victory for Democracy.
This neither diminishes his political sagacity nor his invaluable contributions to working on the PDP campaign.
This doesn’t upset much, if anything: it’s testimony to his work on the Atiku campaign.
A situation where Governors, Senators and top officials are getting triple and quadruple confirmation of their
#COVID
ー19 status, while so many others including returnees, are begging only for a single virus test, is a sign that this system is terribly rigged against YOU.
PO has made a most savvy political decision that will rescue PDP from inside hostage-takers, likely win 2023 for the party and then bring Nigeria closer to having 2 out of 3 previously excluded zones into presidential powers, for the first time ever.

PDP remains the only truly Nationalist Party and as long as we Live, PDP will Never Die.
Tinubu knew most things GEJ was doing as President was good, but they attacked him because he wanted PDP out and APC in: it wasn’t out of love for Nigeria.
The first idea that should die in your head is the idea that maybe Tinubu means well for Nigeria, lol, he doesn’t.

and some thought we were doing too much.
There's nothing we've predicted about this man that has turned out to be wrong, nothing.
If anything in fact, he has surprised us exceedingly sometimes.
After all is said and done:
Atiku showed up.
Atiku explained why he can’t debate.
Atiku took responsibility for his decision.
Atiku apologised to Nigerians.
And Atiku will continue to talk to Nigerians at every opportunity but he won’t make himself the easy target.
Tinubu knew that Buhari had spoken wrongly and tried to walk it back in this interview after their caucus meeting.
But his bloodthirsty followers are here trending

pls take note.
Everyone pls escalate as much as you can.
Buhari has just felt what it is like to be an unpopular President presenting his last budget - booed and jeered in the Red Chambers, it is a befitting end to an inglorious tenure and a proper send-off to mark four years of back to back failure.
#BackToDaura2019
is a Reality.
Nnamdi Kanu's arrest confirms that the Buhari regime can be swift, decisive and methodical when it is motivated - usually by ethnic or religious sentiments.
He jumped bail, now been rearrested: Ok.
Now let his trial and his detention be in full compliance with the Rule of Law.
Sanwoolu talking about Lagos not being developed because power is concentrated in Abuja just scored an own goal by campaigning for Atiku’s Restructuring Agenda - his party promised Devolution of Powers and Restructuring but never did it.
Anyway: Atiku is Coming.
One of Ambode's sins was trying to develop the underdeveloped parts of Lagos - Abule Egba, Alimosho etc.
"Who sent you there?", Bourdillon asked.
To a Machiavellian mind: areas that produce high voting numbers must be kept dependent on the state, to maintain the high numbers.
Liberal Muslim countries are shutting their borders against Afghanis - nobody knows the terrors and dangers of radical and fundamentalist Islam like fellow Muslims, even if they do not speak up.
Our concern is Nigeria - let the moderates up North speak up before it's too late.
Found time yesterday to visit Stanley’s wife and met another political associate who was also close to him there.
We cheered her up greatly and managed to make her smile when I recounted the funny story Stanley told some of us of how he ‘snatched’ her many years ago.
Watch this Q & A between Sen. Eyinnaya Abaribe and His Lordship the CJN Ibrahim Tanko Yusuf to realise the catastrophe Buhari is determined to foist on all arms of the Govt - it’s 7 minutes but you’ll be stunned.
Tanko is as clueless as Buhari.
Feels good to have APC on the defensive all the time and to see Keyamo struggling to defend the indefensible fraud of February 23.
Notice though he has learnt from his past gaffe when PDP quoted his petition to the police on the subject of INEC server to prove their existence.
An ethnic militia openly claiming responsibility for an attack on a sitting Governor and further threatening to kill him is the lowest point ever in the history of ethnic terrorism and mismanagement of ethnic diversity in Nigeria.
Even Abacha of all woes would not condone this.
APC is the major catalyst of worsening ethnic divisions in Nigeria.
The divisions are naturally there like fault-lines but APC has made it worse since 2015 and this can be proven empirically with factual history points from 1999.
I’ll explain it again so people understand:
Former PDP presidential aspirant and strong Atiku presidency campaigner, Tanimu Turaki, arrested by the EFCC today.
"Buhari is not god and some of us will never worship him."
No matter how many people you arrest, the will of the people is firm and Atiku is going to court.
It’s either they’ve told Kadaria to avoid Peter Obi or Obi has decided to take a backseat by himself.
I choose to believe she thinks Atiku is the weakpoint but the man is making her look really ordinary - talking on and on to make a point.
