PRESS STATEMENT: ADC Youth Wing resorting to personal attacks against Dr. Tanko , Very Unfortunate — Obident Movement

PRESS STATEMENT: ADC Youth Wing resorting to personal attacks against Dr. Tanko , Very Unfortunate — Obident Movement


The attention of the Obidient Movement Worldwide Borno State Chapter has been drawn to the recent statement by the ADC Youth Wing targeting our respected Global Coordinator, Dr. Tanko Yunusa who just left Borno and Yobe enroute Katsina State even on his birthday being today, we wake up with this. 


Rather than dealing with the fundamental issues raised by Dr. Tanko for the collective good, the Youth Wing unfortunately resorted to personal attacks.


For the record as investigated by us , Dr. Tanko Yunusa voted in the FCT Bwari Area Council comprising 8 polling units, and he delivered all of them to Mr. Peter Obi with a landslide victory. This is verifiable. His loyalty, consistency, and commitment to the ideals of the Obidient Movement cannot be questioned.


Beyond that, Dr. Tanko’s track record in Nigerian politics is well-documented:


As IPAC Chairman, he successfully led two tenures and institutionalized the Political Parties Leadership and Training Institute in Kuru, which continues to train political leaders from national chairmen down to the grassroots across the 37 states including the FCT.


As a member of the National Peace Committee led by former Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar (rtd), he contributed to Nigeria’s peaceful democratic transitions.


In the struggle for democratic accountability, he also led the Save Nigeria Group as Field Marshal, a movement that played a decisive role in stabilizing Nigeria’s democracy, including securing President Jonathan’s tenure.



So, when referencing Dr. Tanko Yunusa’s political activism and democratic contributions, one can go on and on. The facts speak louder than personal attacks. We therefore urge critics to engage with the issues he has raised, which are for the benefit of all Nigerians and for the strengthening of our democratic institutions.


The Obidient Movement is not a political party but a people-driven platform inspired by the vision of Mr. Peter Obi, who remains strongly with the Movement. While we strongly supported the idea of the coalition how ever it must be seen to be fair to all concerned with equity and justice , every genuine stakeholder must now understand this and guaranteed. 


We urge all stakeholders to focus on unity and the larger vision of building a New Nigeria. Personal attacks and divisive rhetoric only serve our opponents. Together, under the ideology of Mr. Peter Obi, we remain unshaken in our resolve to restore hope and rebuild lives.

AGOBI 2027 CAMPAIGN

Take Action Nigeria TV (TAN TV)*, Official Broadcast Organ, Coming Soon.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••



Fellow citizens of the 

Federal Republic of Nigeria,


Prince Tony 

In 2027, about 230million Nigerians will have another opportunity to break the chains of ruthless, rudderless and and remorseless misrule and tyranny in our nation by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).


If the right decisions are taken by stakeholders of our country's opposition political parties and electorates, we shall achieve the urgent objective of emancipating our country through the ballot in 2027. 


If, however, leaders of the progressive opposition missed presidential victory in 2027 through wrong decisions, the consequences shall be dire for our country in countless ways.


One of these is that they shall detain again the destiny of 230million Nigerians and their prospects of boundless progress and prosperity in liberty for another four years or much more, chained in the agonies of unprecedented economic hardship, relentless locust havoc, untamed borrowings and foreign debt stockpile, wastage and corruption, insecurity of lives and properties and multi-dimensional destruction of the concept of governance in our common fatherland.


Fortunately, today Nigeria is blessed with two gigantic and outstanding political opposition figures, each one eminently qualified to preside over our country as President and recover our nation to the path of greatness beginning from 2027. These are His Excellency Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, now of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and His Excellency Peter Obi, currently of the Labour Party.


Unfortunately, however, incontestable intelligence and outcomes of many months' study commissioned by the steering committee of the AGOBI '27 campaign project have unveiled two barricading truths against the hope of either Atiku or Peter Obi winning Nigeria's Presidential election in 2027, if the wrong decisions are taken by one or both leaders. The second truth is that the ruling APC has strategically, scientifically and comprehensively put in place practically insurmountable obstacles designed to prevent free and fair elections through which either His Excellency Atiku or His Excellency Peter Obi, contesting against each other from different political party ballots against Tinubu on the APC ballot, should ever hope to emerge victorious in the 2027 Presidential race.


For brevity, the following are a few of 25 airtight barricades revealed by our research that will abort either Atiku or Peter Obi winning the 2027 presidential election if they make the fatal, historically regrettable and irredeemable mistake of contesting the 2027 presidential election on the platforms of two separate or competing political parties.


*1.  INEC Cancellation of Physical Permanent Voters Card (PVC), Replacement with Computer Generated Voter's Slip for 2027 Elections*


This masterstroke of electoral fraud ingenuity by President Tinubu and his APC is designed to abolish and replace physical identification and verification of voters on polling day.


In place of BIVAS tablets verifying the physical presence and ballot qualification of a voter on the voting line - while Atiku, Peter Obi and other presidential candidates shall be burning trillions of hard-earned naira campaigning and exhausting themselves supplying logistics needs of their party structures nationwide - President Tinubu's APC shall simply quarantine a body of invisible, inaccessible, security fortified and oath-sworn computer wizkids in air-conditioned strongrooms of INEC's national headquarters and state electoral commission offices nationwide. 


Sitting at ease working with just their fingers without breaking a sweat, they would generate computer concocted wide victory margins in targeted states of the federation as Nigeria's voters database. These will be used to return Tinubu, all APC candidates nationwide, including those who defected in the last minute from other political parties to the APC to serve and "stand on Tinubu's mandate" instead of that of their fatherland and oaths of office. 


The fraud being described here will play out precisely as INEC's outgoing chairman, Prof. Yakubu Mahmood, audaciously accomplished in generating, unchallenged till date, purported new voters registered in Osun state, the home state of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 


It is important for you to recall that in Osun, a state with a population of *4.6million* citizens, Tinubu's INEC recorded *393,269* as the number of newly registered voters in just one week of commencing the nationwide exercise which began on August 18. On the contrary, in the entire five South-East states which have a combined population of more than *36million* citizens, a paltry *1,998* new voters were recorded by Tinubu's INEC under chairman, Yakubu Mahmood. This implies that Osun state with a population of 4.6million citizens shall have new voters 196 times more than the entire five states of South-East which has a combined population of 36million-plus citizens. 


The same olympian margins have been silently concocted for Lagos state and other parts of the country which President Tinubu has earmarked for 2027 landslide victory, all of these monumental phantom data frauds yet to be challenged in court by the sleepy opposition leaders of Nigeria.


*2.  Armed Security Lockdown* 


On Presidential election day, which is also now ignorantly celebrated as the same day for all other elective offices nationwide, Nigeria shall be locked down from border to border as if in a state of civil war. Weeks before the elections and after, all INEC results announcement offices at state and its national headquarters in Abuja shall be garrisoned with massive, heavily armed military and para-military forces and anti-riot armoured tanks against access by opposition party officials, reporters of uncooperative media houses, election observers and independent inquirers, making INEC offices nationwide look more like army barracks than an election dispensing civil agency. This military lockdown will be justified with the unfailing reference of "security threat reports" concocted by government itself and used to maximize movement restrictions against opposition political parties, their tactically isolated and disbanded supporters under the "no movement" manual that is conventionally enforced on election day. 


Nigerians will recall that President Tinubu performed the groundbreaking ceremony of a new INEC headquarters on June 17, 2025 after approval of the project by the Federal Executive Council. The presidential election fraud project above referred is at the heart of the new INEC headquarters edifice. Besides a 1,000-seat auditorium and shaded, Fort Knox fortified IT floors with conduit cameras, it shall have several cryptic exclusive "keep-off" zones, including a museum, underground basement and detention cells which are special components of its design. Accordingly, the new INEC national headquarters, which FCT sheriff Nyesom Wike promised shall be "completed *before* 2027," is not a patriotic administrative initiative but mainly an election rigging facility for the 2027 elections.


Under the inevitable outcome of the above scenario, Tinubu and his mandate decampees will be returned massively back to office unless their ongoing schemes are challenged, defeated before time and the two frontline opposition leaders of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi make the right compromise on their presidential ticket standing. 


*3.  Rigging Funding Treasury Guaranteed for APC Elected Politicians, Decampees* 


Bola Ahmed Tinubu actually began the campaign for his second term election on the very first day of his first term when he was sworn in at Eagles Square. The first statement of his 2027 re-election campaign that day was when he declared with Caesar swagger, "Subsidy is gone!"  


Since then, through fuel subsidy removal and historical multiple stream tax regimes, the Tinubu administration has amassed and equipped sitting governors, national and state Houses of Assembly lawmakers, local government council chairmen and those decamping in droves from other political parties to his APC with astronomical treasuries they never dreamed of possible in their lifetime. That is why his APC now has and controls 72 Senators in the upper parliament out of 109 from its original 59 members, and 207 House of Rep members from an original 176 members. The tally will jerk up from more cross-carpeting by unpatriotic stomach infrastructure decampees close to the 2027 general elections.


Tinubu's far-seeing core objective of his subsidy removal largesse to the states and political office holders nationwide was not mere presidential obligation or development magnanimity but calculated from inception to lure as many nomad monkeys of the other political parties as possible into his APC camp. This is to ensure that every inch of soil in their various states and constituencies is either won or "snatched" for APC victory and Tinubu's second term return by empowering them with funds beyond their wildest imagination.


*4.  A Nation's Betrayal Triangle, Nigeria Police, Military and Judiciary* 


Towards assured second term return of President Tinubu while holding down progress and modern advancement of the Nigerian people in step with the rest of the world, police, military and para-military brass of all armed forces of Nigeria shall be bride-fattened with unheard-of benefits in budgets running to trillions of naira outside legal statutory provisions. 


For the judiciary, funds have already been mobilized for dazzling mansions comprising 40 housing units in a new judges' estate to be built in Katampe district of the FCT. They shall be furnished, dedicated as FCT judges' piece of paradise and handed over to the judges before the 2027 elections, and they are not hiding it. 


Tinubu's 40 castles of paradise comprise 20 units for FCT High Court judges, 10 for Federal High Court judges and 10 for Appeal Court justices. Needless to state, it is from these tiers of the Nigerian judiciary that critical federal election tribunals of 2027 shall be constituted. On September 23, 2024 FCT emperor Nyesom Wike promised on behalf of Tinubu that these mansions will be completed before 2027.


The mansions will come with high-tech security apparatus, including multi-trillion naira street cameras and drones to separate and protect FCT judges and their families from the tormenting plague of daily insecurity, poverty induced crime rampage which afflict ordinary Nigerians and war-zone massacres rampant in our country. 


As you read this, don't forget that Nigerians are not expected to think, having lost their right to do so a long time ago. So, do not think that this "New Hope Agenda" infrastructure breakthrough for judges of our country is a corruption project to help ease Tinubu and his APC administration's return to office in 2027. Just simply understand that a rent-free tenant does not tell his landlord to sweep compound or "fall out" from his own house.


Also don't forget to remember that Nigeria's elite judges have been homeless IDPs living under bridges all these years and desperately need this uplifting by Jagaban, the Aso Villa Knight of Valour, into human homes at last.


With Herodian swag, President Tinubu personally declared on September 2, 2025 that his administration had met its revenue target for the 2025 budget year as early as August, more than a clear quarter before the end of the budget year. Sourcing the funds for the judges wonder project and similar ones towards his assured second-term rebound shall not be a challenge to his APC administration. 


With 2027 second-term election as their principal priority instead of governance, in 2027 there shall be more than enough funds for all election victory or rigging schemes and logistics. These include budgets for APC's nationwide network of onshore and offshore election day ballot thugs, violence and mayhem recruitment as experienced in 2023. Only in 2027, their rampage against free and fair elections shall be far more savage unless the opposition led by His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Peter Obi and others come together for sincere and selfless, masses sensitive compromise and throw their combined weights and resources behind the campaigns of pro-democracy bodies like SDMA, CUPP, Open Nigeria, NADECO USA, Upright Nigeria Foundation, GCPPI, New Nigeria Movers and Nigeria's Gen-Z army to completely overhaul and viscerally amend Nigeria's electoral laws. The top notch of that campaign is SDMA's call to remove the power of Mr. President and Governors to appoint INEC and judiciary officials at federal and state levels respectively, amongst others. A campaign that should be thoroughly  accomplished before the first sun of 2027 rises upon our country. 


*5.  A National Call to Atiku* 


After late Muhammadu Buhari's still recent, punishing woeful eight years of two harrowing under-achieving terms as President of Nigeria,  a survey of the electorates and pulse of Nigeria's political peer shows that voters and election influencers in majority geopolitical zones (South-West, South-East, South-South, North Central and Middle Belt states) will boycott another Presidential candidate from Buhari's Hausa-Fulani stock and rather vote for Tinubu as a bitter, unpleasant but better alternative in territorial consolation.

The voters in these large belts of our country have taken a fierce and resolute stance; the stance that rather than vote another Northern Hausa-Fulani candidate as President of Nigeria in 2027 and shortchange Southern Nigeria of a two-term tenure, they would put their vote and resources free to return Tinubu for a second term, even if it were the devil himself. 


We respectfully entreat Your Excellency Atiku Abubakar to commission an independent, incognito and dispassionate  survey of your own on this claim. Such survey will prove that our finding is true to the hilt.


Knowing, therefore, the inevitable consequences of Your Excellency going forward to contest the Presidency in 2027, given the other four study outcomes above and others which space will not permit, we of this committee, on behalf of the majority of 230million Nigerians, appeal to Your Excellency's sense of duty, legacy, patriotism and submission to the will of Almighty Allah to save Nigeria from the plunge to infinite social-economic and insecurity calamities which our country will continue to suffer under the one party state tyranny that the present APC administration has determined to plunge our country into if stakeholders fail to demonstrate foresight, cooperation and compromise and make the APC to retain power beyond 2027.


Our entreaty to Your Excellency is that earnestly considering the above circumstances, you would appreciate that the only pathway forward is to magnanimously step into the shoes of a statesman, accept the mantle of modern day Father of the Nigerian nation, lead nationalist and liberator of our century. This you would do for our country by giving your blessing, putting your weight, structures, goodwill and institutions behind the man Peter Obi to run as the Presidential candidate of the opposition on your behalf and that of all Nigerians against the APC behemoth in 2027. 


We assure Your Excellency that if the circumstances were reversed and Peter Obi were in your shoes, we would have requested exactly the same concession and sacrifices of him for you.


*The AGOBI Rally Call*


Fellow countrymen, after nearly one year of study, surveys and consultations across the six geopolitical zones and having the foregoing in view, our alliance has put together and hereby unveils Nigeria's now foremost political freedom project since Independence in 1960. This is the project we have named and hereby announce to you as "Atiku Givus Obi 2027" or AGOBI '27 for short. 


In the weeks and months to come, we will unveil a lineup of local and international activities of the AGOBI journey to 2027.


*Conclusion*


Atiku and Peter Obi contesting the Presidency from separate political parties against each other in 2027 will be giving Tinubu a free ride, guaranteed ride to second term.


Should His Excellency Atiku Abubakar and his advisers ignore the patriotic AGOBI entreaty before him, his labours and those of the ADC to win the Presidency in 2027 will go down the drain. This will come principally from a combination of two factors, amongst others. One is the formidable and unconscionable rigging ambush of Tinubu and his ruling APC. Two is massive swing votes by nearly all Southern Nigeria states for Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a sentimental alternative, bad as the recourse may be. 


As with Atiku, so shall it be with Peter Obi. If PO fails to make good the AGOBI roadmap with Atiku, as with Atiku so shall it be with Peter Obi; for the second backbreaking time, all the labours of Peter Obi and the Obidients of Nigeria will be flushed down the drain. King of African wolves, Tinubu's known and hidden aces will defeat the opposition's 2027 bid to end his rule, ending their efforts in pains, humiliation, irredeemable regrets and staggering funding losses wasted in a blind, futile election project that will be like building a skyscraper with ashes. Only an extraordinary act of God, not man, could dent this coming reality. 


On the other hand, while Tinubu could easily defeat both Atiku and Peter Obi contesting the Presidency on separate ballots by rigging federal machineries and institutions against their divided votes, a hundred Tinubus with a hundred-fold of all the structures and institutions at his command cannot return to office in 2027 if Atiku gives PO his blessings to run as Presidential choice of ADC and Labour Party coalition. Because that will be the real Nigerian People's indomitable Peru Coalition.


Without His Excellency Atiku embracing the AGOBI '27 proposition, the only winners will be the one person and party the overwhelming majority of Nigerians do not wish to retain power one day beyond 2027.


This brings to the table the most important question anyone will ever ask Atiku in his entire lifetime. Which of these, Sir, do you wish to be remembered for by posterity? The man who sacrificed his ambition to liberate Nigeria or who sacrificed Nigeria for his ambition yet never got it?


Time will tell and retell the AGOBI story, and this question will be asked again and again at your final resting place and in many years of history after you have returned to your Maker. The best and only time to give it a noble legacy guaranteeing answer is now.


To you we speak and write as men. But unto you Allah speaks as God. This hour He reminds you in His scriptures as follow:


_"Act justly, that is nearer to god-fearing..."  "Persistently standing firm in justice, even if it be against yourself." - Quran 5:8, Surah An-Nisa (4:135)._


May Allah bless you with a heart that listens to His commands rather than the misleading counsels of self-serving unpatriotically ambitious aides.


Ameen.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu actually began the campaign for his second term election on the very first day of his first term when he was sworn in at Eagles Square. The first statement of his 2027 re-election campaign that day was when he declared with Caesar swagger, "Subsidy is gone!"  


Since then, through fuel subsidy removal and historical multiple stream tax regimes, the Tinubu administration has amassed and equipped sitting governors, national and state Houses of Assembly lawmakers, local government council chairmen and those decamping in droves from other political parties to his APC with astronomical treasuries they never dreamed of possible in their lifetime. That is why his APC now has and controls 72 Senators in the upper parliament out of 109 from its original 59 members, and 207 House of Rep members from an original 176 members. The tally will jerk up from more cross-carpeting by unpatriotic stomach infrastructure decampees close to the 2027 general elections.


Tinubu's far-seeing core objective of his subsidy removal largesse to the states and political office holders nationwide was not mere presidential obligation or development magnanimity but calculated from inception to lure as many nomad monkeys of the other political parties as possible into his APC camp. This is to ensure that every inch of soil in their various states and constituencies is either won or "snatched" for APC victory and Tinubu's second term return by empowering them with funds beyond their wildest imagination.


*4.  A Nation's Betrayal Triangle, Nigeria Police, Military and Judiciary* 


Towards assured second term return of President Tinubu while holding down progress and modern advancement of the Nigerian people in step with the rest of the world, police, military and para-military brass of all armed forces of Nigeria shall be bride-fattened with unheard-of benefits in budgets running to trillions of naira outside legal statutory provisions. 


For the judiciary, funds have already been mobilized for dazzling mansions comprising 40 housing units in a new judges' estate to be built in Katampe district of the FCT. They shall be furnished, dedicated as FCT judges' piece of paradise and handed over to the judges before the 2027 elections, and they are not hiding it. 


Tinubu's 40 castles of paradise comprise 20 units for FCT High Court judges, 10 for Federal High Court judges and 10 for Appeal Court justices. Needless to state, it is from these tiers of the Nigerian judiciary that critical federal election tribunals of 2027 shall be constituted. On September 23, 2024 FCT emperor Nyesom Wike promised on behalf of Tinubu that these mansions will be completed before 2027.


The mansions will come with high-tech security apparatus, including multi-trillion naira street cameras and drones to separate and protect FCT judges and their families from the tormenting plague of daily insecurity, poverty induced crime rampage which afflict ordinary Nigerians and war-zone massacres rampant in our country. 


As you read this, don't forget that Nigerians are not expected to think, having lost their right to do so a long time ago. So, do not think that this "New Hope Agenda" infrastructure breakthrough for judges of our country is a corruption project to help ease Tinubu and his APC administration's return to office in 2027. Just simply understand that a rent-free tenant does not tell his landlord to sweep compound or "fall out" from his own house.


Also don't forget to remember that Nigeria's elite judges have been homeless IDPs living under bridges all these years and desperately need this uplifting by Jagaban, the Aso Villa Knight of Valour, into human homes at last.


With Herodian swag, President Tinubu personally declared on September 2, 2025 that his administration had met its revenue target for the 2025 budget year as early as August, more than a clear quarter before the end of the budget year. Sourcing the funds for the judges wonder project and similar ones towards his assured second-term rebound shall not be a challenge to his APC administration. 


With 2027 second-term election as their principal priority instead of governance, in 2027 there shall be more than enough funds for all election victory or rigging schemes and logistics. These include budgets for APC's nationwide network of onshore and offshore election day ballot thugs, violence and mayhem recruitment as experienced in 2023. Only in 2027, their rampage against free and fair elections shall be far more savage unless the opposition led by His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, Mr. Peter Obi and others come together for sincere and selfless, masses sensitive compromise and throw their combined weights and resources behind the campaigns of pro-democracy bodies like SDMA, CUPP, Open Nigeria, NADECO USA, Upright Nigeria Foundation, GCPPI, New Nigeria Movers and Nigeria's Gen-Z army to completely overhaul and viscerally amend Nigeria's electoral laws. The top notch of that campaign is SDMA's call to remove the power of Mr. President and Governors to appoint INEC and judiciary officials at federal and state levels respectively, amongst others. A campaign that should be thoroughly  accomplished before the first sun of 2027 rises upon our country. 


*5.  A National Call to Atiku* 


After late Muhammadu Buhari's still recent, punishing woeful eight years of two harrowing under-achieving terms as President of Nigeria,  a survey of the electorates and pulse of Nigeria's political peer shows that voters and election influencers in majority geopolitical zones (South-West, South-East, South-South, North Central and Middle Belt states) will boycott another Presidential candidate from Buhari's Hausa-Fulani stock and rather vote for Tinubu as a bitter, unpleasant but better alternative in territorial consolation.

The voters in these large belts of our country have taken a fierce and resolute stance; the stance that rather than vote another Northern Hausa-Fulani candidate as President of Nigeria in 2027 and shortchange Southern Nigeria of a two-term tenure, they would put their vote and resources free to return Tinubu for a second term, even if it were the devil himself. 


We respectfully entreat Your Excellency Atiku Abubakar to commission an independent, incognito and dispassionate  survey of your own on this claim. Such survey will prove that our finding is true to the hilt.


Knowing, therefore, the inevitable consequences of Your Excellency going forward to contest the Presidency in 2027, given the other four study outcomes above and others which space will not permit, we of this committee, on behalf of the majority of 230million Nigerians, appeal to Your Excellency's sense of duty, legacy, patriotism and submission to the will of Almighty Allah to save Nigeria from the plunge to infinite social-economic and insecurity calamities which our country will continue to suffer under the one party state tyranny that the present APC administration has determined to plunge our country into if stakeholders fail to demonstrate foresight, cooperation and compromise and make the APC to retain power beyond 2027.


Our entreaty to Your Excellency is that earnestly considering the above circumstances, you would appreciate that the only pathway forward is to magnanimously step into the shoes of a statesman, accept the mantle of modern day Father of the Nigerian nation, lead nationalist and liberator of our century. This you would do for our country by giving your blessing, putting your weight, structures, goodwill and institutions behind the man Peter Obi to run as the Presidential candidate of the opposition on your behalf and that of all Nigerians against the APC behemoth in 2027. 


We assure Your Excellency that if the circumstances were reversed and Peter Obi were in your shoes, we would have requested exactly the same concession and sacrifices of him for you.


*The AGOBI Rally Call*


Fellow countrymen, after nearly one year of study, surveys and consultations across the six geopolitical zones and having the foregoing in view, our alliance has put together and hereby unveils Nigeria's now foremost political freedom project since Independence in 1960. This is the project we have named and hereby announce to you as "Atiku Givus Obi 2027" or AGOBI '27 for short. 


In the weeks and months to come, we will unveil a lineup of local and international activities of the AGOBI journey to 2027.


*Conclusion*


Atiku and Peter Obi contesting the Presidency from separate political parties against each other in 2027 will be giving Tinubu a free ride, guaranteed ride to second term.


Should His Excellency Atiku Abubakar and his advisers ignore the patriotic AGOBI entreaty before him, his labours and those of the ADC to win the Presidency in 2027 will go down the drain. This will come principally from a combination of two factors, amongst others. One is the formidable and unconscionable rigging ambush of Tinubu and his ruling APC. Two is massive swing votes by nearly all Southern Nigeria states for Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a sentimental alternative, bad as the recourse may be. 


As with Atiku, so shall it be with Peter Obi. If PO fails to make good the AGOBI roadmap with Atiku, as with Atiku so shall it be with Peter Obi; for the second backbreaking time, all the labours of Peter Obi and the Obidients of Nigeria will be flushed down the drain. King of African wolves, Tinubu's known and hidden aces will defeat the opposition's 2027 bid to end his rule, ending their efforts in pains, humiliation, irredeemable regrets and staggering funding losses wasted in a blind, futile election project that will be like building a skyscraper with ashes. Only an extraordinary act of God, not man, could dent this coming reality. 


On the other hand, while Tinubu could easily defeat both Atiku and Peter Obi contesting the Presidency on separate ballots by rigging federal machineries and institutions against their divided votes, a hundred Tinubus with a hundred-fold of all the structures and institutions at his command cannot return to office in 2027 if Atiku gives PO his blessings to run as Presidential choice of ADC and Labour Party coalition. Because that will be the real Nigerian People's indomitable Peru Coalition.


Without His Excellency Atiku embracing the AGOBI '27 proposition, the only winners will be the one person and party the overwhelming majority of Nigerians do not wish to retain power one day beyond 2027.


This brings to the table the most important question anyone will ever ask Atiku in his entire lifetime. Which of these, Sir, do you wish to be remembered for by posterity? The man who sacrificed his ambition to liberate Nigeria or who sacrificed Nigeria for his ambition yet never got it?


Time will tell and retell the AGOBI story, and this question will be asked again and again at your final resting place and in many years of history after you have returned to your Maker. The best and only time to give it a noble legacy guaranteeing answer is now.


To you we speak and write as men. But unto you Allah speaks as God. This hour He reminds you in His scriptures as follow:


_"Act justly, that is nearer to god-fearing..."  "Persistently standing firm in justice, even if it be against yourself." - Quran 5:8, Surah An-Nisa (4:135)._


May Allah bless you with a heart that listens to His commands rather than the misleading counsels of self-serving unpatriotically ambitious aides.


Ameen.

PRESS STATEMENT: DON'T TRY IT! LABOUR PARTY WARNING TO RMAFC ON PROPOSED SALARY INCREASE FOR POLITICIANS

PRESS STATEMENT: DON'T TRY IT! LABOUR PARTY WARNING TO RMAFC ON PROPOSED SALARY INCREASE FOR POLITICIANS

Prince Tony

By Prince Tony Akeni, National Publicity Secretary (Interim), Labour Party, Thursday August 21, 2025


This press briefing is to serve the sternest warning to the chairman of the Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mr. Mohammed Shehu. 


Every Tinubu minister and head of agency wants to leave government in 2027 richer than Dangote, but not necessarily through hard work and industry. The chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mr. Mohammed Shehu, for his personal benefits, appears to have joined the list as the latest addition to Nigeria's unfortunate story of the insensitivity of government and its agencies to the hydra-headed plights of Nigeria's citizens. 


On Monday August 18, 2025 Mohammed Shehu woke up on the wrong side of his bed and decided to take his own pound of flesh from the long suffering but pliant Nigerian people by adding his own dimension of nightmares to the treasury bunkering of the ruling APC government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 


You will recall that in a press conference he held in Abuja on the aforementioned date, the fiscal allocation commission's chairman served Nigerians a menu of fallacies to insult the intelligence of Nigerians by claiming that all Mr. President receives for his office in an entire year is a paltry #18million at a salary of #1.5million per month, while his ministers receive #1million per month or #12million per annum. This mischievous and obnoxious lie of figure juggling was corroborated by the CBN Governor, Mr. Olayemi Michael Cardoso, who, according to unrefuted information in the public domain, enjoys unheard-of Eldorado luxury living which, beside his monumental monthly salary, includes a #1b (one billion naira) annual housing allowance and $15million or #24billion global flight tickets and single-handedly appointed a bevy of lady consultants who receive #35million and #50million per month, (not per year). For avoidance of doubts, two of the bevy who receive these Olympian and outrageous salaries in the office of the Nigerian CBN Governor, according to the unchallenged reports, are Ms. Daphne Dafinone and Ms. Nkiru Balonwu who is facing EFCC investigations for alleged egregious financial conduct. 


The above infantile Disneyland story of the RMAFC's chairman, Mr. Shehu Mohammed, is further starkly contradicted by the fact that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's wife has suddenly, after 2023 swearing-in of Tinubu, found fortune which enables her to donate to events as much as #1billion in a single occasion when her husband receives a miserable paltry sum of #18million per annum as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.


When we say every actor of fortune under the Tinubu-APC maladministration is out to out-Dangote Dangote by the time the Labour Party and the good people of Nigeria boot them out of office in 2027, it is both a moral and institutional duty that we supply background to prove our assertion. I urge all Nigerians to join our party follow the trail of this locust swarm called APC by reading this to the end and rising to act.


We shall forerun our engagement of the chairman of the revenue allocation commission and his campaign for salary increase for politicians with the facts and figures of epic public finance abuses we present below to help Nigerians reflect, evaluate afresh and to stand up against the dangers posed to their lives by the current APC administration. The chronicle of government promoted corruption among heads of agencies which the Labour Party delivers below are for just 2025, and the year is still running.


1. In the 2025 Federal Government budget figure of #54.99trillion signed into law on February 8, 2025, the Minister of Budget and National Planning, Sen. Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, needed to buy a nuclear station that produces electricity for the common good of Nigerians. So, he inserted an amount that will cost Nigerians #266million per street light; an unseen type of streetlight that would probably come with a Maikano power plant and a piece of the sun each. The APC rubber-stamp Senate of Mr. Godswill Akpabio approved it. When yam falls into a palm oil bowl, what do you expect? The above budget for mere streetlights was in addition to Minister Bagudu tucking into the 2025 budget what BudgIT, the public finance tracking agency, called "ghost projects" amounting to #6.93 trillion.


2. On June 10, 2025, the APC's FCT sheriff, Minister Nyesom Wike re-commissioned the now re-named Abuja International Conference Centre after a solo renovation cost submission of #39billion. The renovation went through contract award without competitive biddings required by Nigeria's Due Process laws. This is an amount of money that would have built for Nigerians a minimum of nine modern equiped health centres in each state of the federation or approximately three health centres in every senatorial district of Nigeria, including Abuja FCT. To comfort Nigerians for their pains and complaints, Nyesom Wike has been singing the lullaby to the public against critics' umbrage that the conference centre, which is actually a ghosts' haven 90% of the year, is now churning mountainous revenues into the coffers of the government after its renovation, and that it is fully booked up to 2027. Of course, it is fully booked by ghosts for ghost activities. 


Meanwhile, in contrast to Minister Wike's #39billion windfall for a conference hall renovation, only #10billion was budgeted for Nigeria's entire land border security covering 4,047 kilometers, a whopping #150billion was set on fire to purchase a used presidential jet for President Tinubu and another #5billion for an idle presidential yacht. 


3. On June 11, 2025, the Minister of Agriculture, Sen. Abubakar Kyari, approved a portion of the ministry's 2025 budget of #636billion for a fasting and prayer programme for all its staff to boost agriculture and vanquish hunger in Nigeria. The circular to all staff on this epic event summoned staff to come to work fasting for "a solemn session for God's guidance and success in supporting the (Tinubu) government's efforts to achieve food security." Nigerians, where on earth except APC's Nigeria is modern mechanized farming and food security attained through budget financed prayers and fasting? Is this also the model for governance of nations which China, Japan, Singapore, The Netherlands, Israel, even war-torn Ukraine and other successful Agric pillared economies used to achieve food security?


4. On August 5, 2025, the Minister of Aviation and Aerospace Development, Mr. Festus Keyamo, dutifully molested Nigerians' ear drums with the news of renovating Lagos Airport at a cost of #712billion or $447million. Again, this airport could be renovated fit and proper to world standard with a much smaller fraction of that cost with ample room to build a maternity annex in the peri-urban communities of every of Nigeria's 774 local government council areas.   


5. On August 14, 2025, the APC Works Minister, Engr. David Umahi, ruthlessly shocked Nigerians by announcing that his ministry needed #3.6trillion to demolish and build, brand new from scratch, the 3rd Mainland Bridge in Lagos or, ironically, a higher amount of #3.8trillion to repair the existing one. What Minister David Umahi is audaciously asking to renovate the Lagos 3rd Mainland Bridge is 1.97% or nearly 2% of Nigeria's entire 2025 federal government budget. Let us take stock.


i. The Lagos 3rd Mainland Bridge is 11.8km long, and has insignificant physical obstacles by marine engineering standards, which involve mere water depths ranging from two to ten meters, the deepest point, it is said, being at the entrance of the Commodore Channel. 


ii. The longest bridge in the world, the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge (DKG Bridge) is 168.8km. Considerable engineering obstacles to its construction involved about 150 river channels. Additionally, it had to be designed with ferro-concrete bastions to support the famous Beijing-Shanghai high speed railway which intercepts it.


iii. The cost of constructing the DKG Bridge of 168.8km was $8.5b or #13trillion. This brought the average cost of one kilometer to #79billion. Nigeria's Minister David Umahi's cost of $2.35b for mere 11.8km brings the average cost of one kilometer of his 3rd Mainland Bridge to $198.8m or #305b. This is 3.8 times or nearly 400% higher than China's DKG Bridge. It is ok to aspire to be as rich or to out-rich Dangote, but Labour Party insists that it should not be at the death of Nigerians through phantom budgets and corruption facilitated mass burials.


6. Before the above, Nigeria's PDP and APC governments from 1999 to 2023 had burnt $18b in refurbishing and rehabilitation claims of the country's three refineries in Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna. In less than 15 months of being sworn into office, Tinubu and his APC cabinet set another $2.8 on fire on a failed wild goose rehabilitation scheme which was sold to the Nigerian public in barefaced deceit and ended in a catastrophic flop. Shockingly, without formal admission of failure and expenditure audit, the Tinubu Administration is quietly out to put the decorated skeletons of the refineries for sale to cronies. In a recent fatalistic undertaker's verdict by Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the private owner of Nigeria's only working and largest refinery in Africa, the Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna refinery ghosts of Nigeria can never work again. 


7. Also before now, rewind to May 26, 2023, three days to late President Muhammadu Buhari's hand-over of power to the Tinubu Administration. Nigerians will recall that Buhari and his then Aviation Minister, Mr. Hadi Sirika, chartered an Ethiopian Boeing 737 commercial jet in Addis Ababa, painted it into a sham Nigeria Air courier colours and logo and flew it into Nigeria. On the said May 26, 2025, the static plane was decorated in ribbons at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport in Abuja and displayed to the press as a ceremony commissioning the new Nigeria Air courier, with other jets to follow soon after. After the unveiling it was flown back to Ethiopia, the Nigerian colours and logo washed away and its Ethiopian colours restored. It immediately resumed operations with the Ethiopian fleet after its one-day scam ceremony by the APC government in Nigeria. In Buhari's eight years of annual budgets for the aviation sector and the phantom "Nigeria Air" swindle, his APC administration swindled from the Nigeria treasury #85.42billion. No trial to conviction has been recorded till date on this massive, flagrant, in-your-face public fraud.


8. In the light of the above, the Labour Party hereby emphatically declares that the unsolicited, self appointed campaign by the chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mr. Mohammed Shehu, for salary increase for politicians, who are already clearly over-indulged in the eyes of civilize democracies of the world, is suspect. We are compelled to agree with millions of Nigerians that Mr. Mohammed Shehu has hidden unpatriotic motives in flying this audacious, unconscionable and insensitive scheme, especially at this time when countless Nigerians are passing through untold economic hardship and its accompanying privations, vagaries and indignities. 


9. Our party's advice to the chairman of the RMAFC and his unseen collaborators, in and outside the commission, who are behind this misadventure is that they should immediately retrace their steps in their best interest. This is so that the commission will not confirm the suspicion and incur the wrath of outraged Nigerians across the country and beyond who believe that given the unscrupulous, unprosecuted and regime pampered corruption of APC administrations in general, officials of the are aiming their hands for the jar of the Tinubu Administration's unchecked APC corruption orgy at the expense of suffering Nigerians, expected to come through picking kudos commission from thousands of grateful Nigeria politicians nationwide who he may be in conspiracy with them to pay commission's chairman and his team financial homage for a job well-done, as well as other goodwill exchange within the corridors of power.


Furthermore, it will be callous remiss for the revenue allocation commission not to realize that rewarding politicians with more public funds from Nigeria's public treasury, which is already bleeding profusely from corruption, will keep Tinubu in his present mode of marathon borrowings and future short-changing foreign debts.


If anything, the campaign RMAFC should consider urgent, pressing and patriotic to join is to increase Nigeria's workers minimum wage from its present miserable paltry sum of #70,000 per month. In case the RMAFC's chairman is not aware, the United States of America just empathically issued a statement from across the Atlantic to appraise and advocate for improvement of Nigeria's pathetic miniuwage. If a foreign nation could should demonstrate such empathy towards our suffering citizens, the RMAFC's chairman and his administrative directors have no valid excuse not to do more.


Given the above corrosive corruption, grinding penury and retarded development potentials of Nigeria, it is painfully curious, an excruciating irony, that in her recent visit to Nigeria and the Presidency, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Nweala, the Nigerian born Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), should compliment the non-accounting administration of Bola Tinubu as doing well. Labour Party joins Nigeria in asking: will the WTO Director-General find the same benchmarks of corruption, pandemic official fraud, non-compliance with due process laws, flagrant inflation of infrastructure funds and sweeping insecurity plaguing Nigeria under the APC administration of Tinubu in any European, American, Asian countries or other regions of the world and honestly acclaim that they were doing well? Certainly not.


*Conclusion*


Fellow Nigerians, those who burn down a country and those who watch them do so in silence, complacency from privileged insulation and inaction are equal culprits.


The fight to dismantle the structure, superstructure and architecture of corruption is not Peter Obi's fight alone. It is not Labour Party's fight alone. It is the fight of all of us 200million Nigerians. It is a fight for our children, their own children and generations unborn.


APC is burning down our country with never before seen monstrosity of corruption in virtually every sector of our economy, national life and the daily petrifying insecurity of lives and properties that now hold our country's citizens hostage, wether in the cities or rural countrysides and farms where majority of our food and sustenance come from.


It takes a village to tie down a mad relative to give him medicine or put him in stocks for the safety of others. In 2027, let us rise together in communal unison as one people, irrespective of tribe, religion and region to see out of our land the wolf packs ravaging our flock, values and destiny as a great country.

iii. The cost of constructing the DKG Bridge of 168.8km was $8.5b or #13trillion. This brought the average cost of one kilometer to #79billion. Nigeria's Minister David Umahi's cost of $2.35b for mere 11.8km brings the average cost of one kilometer of his 3rd Mainland Bridge to $198.8m or #305b. This is 3.8 times or nearly 400% higher than China's DKG Bridge. It is ok to aspire to be as rich or to out-rich Dangote, but Labour Party insists that it should not be at the death of Nigerians through phantom budgets and corruption facilitated mass burials.


6. Before the above, Nigeria's PDP and APC governments from 1999 to 2023 had burnt $18b in refurbishing and rehabilitation claims of the country's three refineries in Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna. In less than 15 months of being sworn into office, Tinubu and his APC cabinet set another $2.8 on fire on a failed wild goose rehabilitation scheme which was sold to the Nigerian public in barefaced deceit and ended in a catastrophic flop. Shockingly, without formal admission of failure and expenditure audit, the Tinubu Administration is quietly out to put the decorated skeletons of the refineries for sale to cronies. In a recent fatalistic undertaker's verdict by Alhaji Aliko Dangote, the private owner of Nigeria's only working and largest refinery in Africa, the Warri, Port Harcourt and Kaduna refinery ghosts of Nigeria can never work again. 


7. Also before now, rewind to May 26, 2023, three days to late President Muhammadu Buhari's hand-over of power to the Tinubu Administration. Nigerians will recall that Buhari and his then Aviation Minister, Mr. Hadi Sirika, chartered an Ethiopian Boeing 737 commercial jet in Addis Ababa, painted it into a sham Nigeria Air courier colours and logo and flew it into Nigeria. On the said May 26, 2025, the static plane was decorated in ribbons at the Nnamdi Azikiwe airport in Abuja and displayed to the press as a ceremony commissioning the new Nigeria Air courier, with other jets to follow soon after. After the unveiling it was flown back to Ethiopia, the Nigerian colours and logo washed away and its Ethiopian colours restored. It immediately resumed operations with the Ethiopian fleet after its one-day scam ceremony by the APC government in Nigeria. In Buhari's eight years of annual budgets for the aviation sector and the phantom "Nigeria Air" swindle, his APC administration swindled from the Nigeria treasury #85.42billion. No trial to conviction has been recorded till date on this massive, flagrant, in-your-face public fraud.


8. In the light of the above, the Labour Party hereby emphatically declares that the unsolicited, self appointed campaign by the chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Mobilization, Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC), Mr. Mohammed Shehu, for salary increase for politicians, who are already clearly over-indulged in the eyes of civilize democracies of the world, is suspect. We are compelled to agree with millions of Nigerians that Mr. Mohammed Shehu has hidden unpatriotic motives in flying this audacious, unconscionable and insensitive scheme, especially at this time when countless Nigerians are passing through untold economic hardship and its accompanying privations, vagaries and indignities. 


9. Our party's advice to the chairman of the RMAFC and his unseen collaborators, in and outside the commission, who are behind this misadventure is that they should immediately retrace their steps in their best interest. This is so that the commission will not confirm the suspicion and incur the wrath of outraged Nigerians across the country and beyond who believe that given the unscrupulous, unprosecuted and regime pampered corruption of APC administrations in general, officials of the are aiming their hands for the jar of the Tinubu Administration's unchecked APC corruption orgy at the expense of suffering Nigerians, expected to come through picking kudos commission from thousands of grateful Nigeria politicians nationwide who he may be in conspiracy with them to pay commission's chairman and his team financial homage for a job well-done, as well as other goodwill exchange within the corridors of power.


Furthermore, it will be callous remiss for the revenue allocation commission not to realize that rewarding politicians with more public funds from Nigeria's public treasury, which is already bleeding profusely from corruption, will keep Tinubu in his present mode of marathon borrowings and future short-changing foreign debts.


If anything, the campaign RMAFC should consider urgent, pressing and patriotic to join is to increase Nigeria's workers minimum wage from its present miserable paltry sum of #70,000 per month. In case the RMAFC's chairman is not aware, the United States of America just empathically issued a statement from across the Atlantic to appraise and advocate for improvement of Nigeria's pathetic miniuwage. If a foreign nation could should demonstrate such empathy towards our suffering citizens, the RMAFC's chairman and his administrative directors have no valid excuse not to do more.


Given the above corrosive corruption, grinding penury and retarded development potentials of Nigeria, it is painfully curious, an excruciating irony, that in her recent visit to Nigeria and the Presidency, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Nweala, the Nigerian born Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), should compliment the non-accounting administration of Bola Tinubu as doing well. Labour Party joins Nigeria in asking: will the WTO Director-General find the same benchmarks of corruption, pandemic official fraud, non-compliance with due process laws, flagrant inflation of infrastructure funds and sweeping insecurity plaguing Nigeria under the APC administration of Tinubu in any European, American, Asian countries or other regions of the world and honestly acclaim that they were doing well? Certainly not.


*Conclusion*


Fellow Nigerians, those who burn down a country and those who watch them do so in silence, complacency from privileged insulation and inaction are equal culprits.


The fight to dismantle the structure, superstructure and architecture of corruption is not Peter Obi's fight alone. It is not Labour Party's fight alone. It is the fight of all of us 200million Nigerians. It is a fight for our children, their own children and generations unborn.


APC is burning down our country with never before seen monstrosity of corruption in virtually every sector of our economy, national life and the daily petrifying insecurity of lives and properties that now hold our country's citizens hostage, wether in the cities or rural countrysides and farms where majority of our food and sustenance come from.


It takes a village to tie down a mad relative to give him medicine or put him in stocks for the safety of others. In 2027, let us rise together in communal unison as one people, irrespective of tribe, religion and region to see out of our land the wolf packs ravaging our flock, values and destiny as a great country.

Bye-Election: Femi Dexter Akin-Alamu Makes More Revelations on his Election Spendings, Says hungry opportunists and fraudsters in the name of obidients Sell Out

Dexter 

The ADC House of Representatives candidate in the just concluded Bye-Election in Ibadan North Dr. Femi Dexter Akin-Alamu has made more Revelations about the poor outing of the party in the last Saturday Bye-Election.

 

Femi Dexter in a news statement shield more light on his campaign spending which many considered outrageous especially with the total 256 of votes scored and not 88 Votes as earlier rumored and publicized.


His latest message in response to critics on his election spending and donations received from donors especially from Peter Obi, opined that hungry opportunists and fraudsters in the name of obidients that worked with him in the course of his campaigns sold out after  money to work against him.



His full statement:


 Good morning all. I have made 3 statements already since the election concluded, and it has stated clearly all that any right thinking person needs to know. Whilst I have also seen a lot of bickering by the angry and hungry opportunists who feel they have a right to my campaign funds after selling out and receiving money to work against me, fraudsters in the name of obidients, people giving the movement a bad name, I am yet to see exactly any question apart from people questioning how my money was spent during the elections, opportunists that did not even show up for campaign Rallies that have suddenly turned themselves into stakeholders. They first claimed I received 10 million from PO, now when it is obvious I did not rather that eat their words and apologise, they are bickering over how I spent 77 million or whether I spent 77 million on a campaign I opened since September of last year from a campaign office I opened in Mokola since then. All the questions I see is why we have 88 votes, which by the way is actually 256, the answer is simple because people like those complaining sold out, got money to destroy the election and even after the election they have not stopped. Criminals with no integrity. What exactly is my crime ? Find me one ward chairman that was not mobilised for this election, find me the LG government chairman and let him come and say he wasn't mobilised, find me an agent that did not collect 5k with his tag and another 5k on submission of results. @⁨~agborjm@gmail.Com⁩, at least you are here, tell me if you did not employ 51 agents in Ward 12 alone. I dare you to produce 1 agent who did not receive their money. But the greedy opportunists who did not even leave their house on election day haven received funds to mobilize against us are here talking, they will rather the money was shared for them than use it well and when that does not happen they resort to cheap blackmail without substance. Any one apart from @⁨~agborjm@gmail.Com⁩ who I know received 20k out of the 80k sent to Tony to get 4 people to monitor the agents in Ward 12 alone. For the records I paid all agents from ward 1 to 12, 10k each and I paid 4 supervisors in each ward 20k each, I mobilised chairmen in 9 of the 12 wards 100k each, only the 2 wards where we did not have a chairman yet did not get it and BASA who was there when all this was done promised to pay the 100k of ward 5. I mobilised on average about 10 people in each ward between 20k and 100k on Friday night/ Saturday morning, most of this was done with a POS owned by Lolade of ward 5, for any one that is really interested in the truth this can be confirmed. 

Let anyone who wants to ask how we got 256 votes firstly tell all of us where they worked on election day to clear their name that they are not part of those who sold us out before they have the right to question the people who worked hard how we got 256 votes. This coordinated smear campaign is nothing but an attempt by hungry and angry sell out olitrickcians and fraudsters who have been exposed trying to change the narrative, but I promise you this are not the ones to birth a new Nigeria except we are fooling ourselves. I will repost the 3 statements here, one of which gave a full account of our campaign expenses since I opened the campaign office in September, and for the records every single naira apart from the donations of 11.4 million was from my personal sweat haven never held a political office or executed a government contract in my life.

Press Statement: Lies, smear campaigns, outright blackmail being orchestrated against Dr Dexter by a few hungry individuals hiding under the banner of the Obidient Movement in Oyo State can not stand

Press Statement: Lies, smear campaigns, outright blackmail being orchestrated against Dr Dexter by a few hungry individuals hiding under the banner of the Obidient Movement in Oyo State can not stand

Dr Dexter 

It has become necessary to once again address the lies, smear campaigns, and outright blackmail being orchestrated against Dr. Dexter by a few hungry individuals hiding under the banner of the Obidient Movement in Oyo State.


Let us set the record straight:


They claim Dr Dexter received 10 million naira from Peter Obi, this is a total lie, The donation in question was from Alhaji. Kashim Imam and the donation neither came through the effort of Tanko or the obidient movement, Tanko himself was only contacted to verify the chances of Dr. Dexter at the elections. The donation came from a call Dr Dexter made by himself in the presence of witnesses on Friday morning to Aisha Yesufu who as at then had not been contacted by anyone about Dr. Dexter's election, it was after that he called Tanko to verify the details he was given by Dr. Dexter.


!. It is amazing that I am being asked as His DG Media what has been Dr. Dexter's contribution to the Obidient movement in Oyo state.


1. Leading to the 2023 elections. Dr. Dexter gave the Obidient Movement an office for use. on Ring road. That alone is more than many so-called leaders have done for this movement.


2. Just days to his own elections, Dr. Dexter still put the movement first by singlehandedly providing the air-conditioned hall, sound systems, screens, cameras, and every other equipment used for a recent seminar organized by the Obidient Movement. Their entire contribution was a mere ₦30,000 for diesel, which Dr dexter still added N100,000 to so the generator he provided for them can be put onl to power the event.


3. On the very day of his primaries, when Dr. Dexter asked the movement to help mobilize just 40 people, they bluntly said they could only do it if he first paid them ₦200,000 for “logistics.” He paid it. They only moved after collecting money. And now the same people have the audacity to question his loyalty to the Obidient cause? Laughable.


4. Ahead of the election, when rallies were put together just one week to voting day, these same people demanded ₦15,000 per car for fuel if any of their members were to drive around Ibadan North. When they didn’t get it, they disappeared. No mobilization, no participation.


5. As if that wasn’t enough, they shamelessly asked for ₦20 million for “mobilization for the election.” When Dr. Dexter refused to release such an outrageous sum, they went missing in action. But today, they cry that the ₦11.4 million donations he received— of which almost all the donors were Dr. Dexter's Family and friends.


Let us stop deceiving ourselves: many so-called Obidients are nothing but opportunists, using the name of His Excellency Peter Obi as a cover for scams and extortion.


And to crown the absurdity of it all, the loudest voice behind this smear campaign—Mr. Jeje Ibukun, who parades himself as “PRO” of the movement in Oyo State—was recently sacked by Christ Ambassadors School after being caught diverting funds meant for the school’s football field grass. Staff of the school and even those at Wells Radio confirmed his fraud. This same man is now sending threats to Dr. Dexter promising to “destroy his image.” Is this not laughable? A fraudster turned PRO is now the self-appointed judge of integrity?


Enough is enough.

The public deserves to know the truth: Dr. Dexter has given more to the Obidient Movement than many of the same people now trying to destroy him. This smear campaign is nothing but the cry of rejected stomach politicians who see the movement as a money-making machine.


The question is simple: if people who must be paid before they lift a finger call themselves “Obidient,” then who are we deceiving?


The time has come to expose opportunists hiding under the Obidient name for what they really are.

ADC COALITION: Nobody has discussed being Atiku’s running mate with me, “I am going to run for president,” Obi

ADC COALITION: Nobody has discussed being Atiku’s running mate with me, “I am going to run for president,” Obi

 Obi Confirms Presidential Bid, Rules Out Running Mate Option


Peter Obi 

The Symbol of Obidient Movement worldwide H E Peter Obi who is also a key figure in the ADC coalition, has announced his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election and not running mate to anyone.


Peter Obi while on live interview program on Channels emphasized that he will not consider a running mate position, instead focusing on becoming the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, expressing confidence in his qualifications for the presidency, reaffirming his commitment to leading the Country .


“Seun, I don’t believe in assumptions. I am part of the Coalition that will produce a competent president with the capacity & the compassion to save this country.”  


"I have never worked for any government before I became governor.

I did not work for Abacha, I have never met him. We only reported issues about the port and we were asked to decongest the ports.

Everything lasted about 2 weeks" 


"Working with ADC coalition not anti-party"


“We at the ADC coalition have all agreed to work together ahead of the 2027 election".  


"Nobody has discussed being Atiku’s running mate with me, he adds. “I am going to run for president,” Obi said".

        

Seun Okinbalonye: Considering your reputation, don’t you think it’s contradictory for you to want to work with those who Nigerians believe failed when they were in govt?”


Peter Obi: Seun, to make progress, you need the experience of those who have failed and those who succeeded.


Today we have a country without compassion. In December 18 several children died in Ibadan, On 19 Tinubu flew to Lagos for Christmas holiday, I will not do that, I will go to Ibadan & lool for their parents & cry with them.


We will use all lawful means to remove Tinubu come 2027.


Seun: If you become president, will you release Nnamdi Kanu?


Peter Obi: 

Honestly, Seun, I still don’t know the exact reason why Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and has been detained till now. I’ve tried to find out what offense he committed, but I haven’t seen anything specific. Some say it’s because of the strong language he uses. Seun, go and check what he has said about me—he has called me all sorts of names and accused me of many things. But that doesn’t bother me, because I know those things don’t reflect who I truly am. So, I don’t take them personally. That’s why I find it difficult to understand the reason for his arrest, let alone why he’s still being held after all this time.

The Symbol of Obidient Movement worldwide H E Peter Obi who is also a key figure in the ADC coalition, has announced his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election and not running mate to anyone.


Peter Obi while on live interview program on Channels emphasized that he will not consider a running mate position, instead focusing on becoming the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, expressing confidence in his qualifications for the presidency, reaffirming his commitment to leading the Country .


“Seun, I don’t believe in assumptions. I am part of the Coalition that will produce a competent president with the capacity & the compassion to save this country.”  


"I have never worked for any government before I became governor.

I did not work for Abacha, I have never met him. We only reported issues about the port and we were asked to decongest the ports.

Everything lasted about 2 weeks" 


"Working with ADC coalition not anti-party"


“We at the ADC coalition have all agreed to work together ahead of the 2027 election".  


"Nobody has discussed being Atiku’s running mate with me, he adds. “I am going to run for president,” Obi said".

        

Seun Okinbalonye: Considering your reputation, don’t you think it’s contradictory for you to want to work with those who Nigerians believe failed when they were in govt?”


Peter Obi: Seun, to make progress, you need the experience of those who have failed and those who succeeded.


Today we have a country without compassion. In December 18 several children died in Ibadan, On 19 Tinubu flew to Lagos for Christmas holiday, I will not do that, I will go to Ibadan & lool for their parents & cry with them.


We will use all lawful means to remove Tinubu come 2027.


Seun: If you become president, will you release Nnamdi Kanu?


Peter Obi: 

Honestly, Seun, I still don’t know the exact reason why Nnamdi Kanu was arrested and has been detained till now. I’ve tried to find out what offense he committed, but I haven’t seen anything specific. Some say it’s because of the strong language he uses. Seun, go and check what he has said about me—he has called me all sorts of names and accused me of many things. But that doesn’t bother me, because I know those things don’t reflect who I truly am. So, I don’t take them personally. That’s why I find it difficult to understand the reason for his arrest, let alone why he’s still being held after all this time.


OPPOSITION LEADERS ADOPT ADC TO UNSEAT TINUBU, NAMES DAVID MARK, AREGBESOLA AS PROTEM LEADERS

OPPOSITION LEADERS ADOPT ADC TO UNSEAT TINUBU, NAMES DAVID MARK, AREGBESOLA AS PROTEM LEADERS


After a high-level meeting in Abuja in Tuesday, major opposition coalition of political heavyweights in Nigeria  ahead of the 2027 general elections have adopted a New party to rescue the country from the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu led APC federal government.


The realignment of Nigeria’s political landscape, top opposition leaders adopted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as their new political platform, nominating former Senate President David Mark as the party’s protem national chairman and former Osun State Governor Rauf Aregbesola as protem national secretary.


Prominent leaders present at the meeting of the official adoption of ADC include former Rivers State Governor and ex-Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi, former All Progressives Congress National Chairman John Oyegun, former Attorney-General of the Federation Abubakar Malami, former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai, former Cross River Governor Liyel Imoke, and former House Speaker and ex-Sokoto State Governor Aminu Tambuwal.


Others in attendance include influential political figures like Kashim Imam and other senior stakeholders from across the political spectrum.


Sources at the meeting described the development as a convergence of politicians from across party lines, driven by a shared determination to unseat President Bola Tinubu and dislodge the ruling APC in the 2027 elections.


The coalition includes former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, among others.


They argue that President Tinubu’s administration has failed to deliver on its promises, citing economic hardship, insecurity, and what they call “renewed hardship” instead of “renewed hope”.


The coalition aims to unify opposition forces across party lines to present a single, formidable candidate in 2027. Their rhetoric frames the movement as a rescue mission rather than just a political contest.


In June 2025, the coalition applied to register a new party called the All Democratic Alliance (ADA) with INEC. The application included a constitution, manifesto, and a maize-themed logo symbolsiing prosperity.


Two different groups submitted applications for parties with the ADA acronym—All Democratic Alliance and Advanced Democratic Alliance—which could complicate approval.


Facing delays and uncertainty around ADA’s registration, the coalition has now adopted the ADC as its platform.


This is getting very interesting! What happened in 2015 general elections, is it going to repeat itself in 2027?
