“The democratic experiment in Nigeria has been anything but ideal — individuals and families are losing hope in the promise of democracy and many have quietly but unfortunately come to the conclusion that anything but what we have currently would work better.”
“APC is hoping that by 2027, it would have successfully decimated opposition parties and built a superstructure of loyal defectors who will rally votes in their regions. But this strategy is short-sighted. Nigerian voters are more aware now. The 2023 elections already saw record levels of youth activism and the 2027 elections may bring an even bigger shock.”
“Until recently, Abia State, his home state, has suffered enough embarrassment. It has all the resources, all the talent, all the brilliance — yet it remains one of the least developed states in Nigeria.”
“Anyone in Politics Who Is a Billionaire Today STOLE Public Funds, If we continue to reward theft with political promotions and cheer for those who loot us blind, then the future will be darker than the present – Orji Uzor Kalu”
“By the time the Otti’s government would have concluded its first tenured assignment, political leadership in Abia would have been clearly defined in so much that no man or woman would dare mount the campaign rostrum to ask for vote without a clear definition of what he wants to achieve in office and how he plans to get that established. That’s a legacy and Abia has found its footing.”
“The greatest tragedy of West African democracy is the crass irresponsibility of its elites. Rather than serving as custodians of the public good, they have become predators who pillage state resources, rig elections, and undermine institutions.”
“It’s not uncommon to see a jobless, hungry young man chanting campaign slogans or fighting online battles in support of a political figure whose policies—or lack thereof—have plunged him into poverty. This contradiction raises a troubling question”
The economic policy upheavals that have characterized Nigerian President Bola Tinubu’s two years in power and sparked a deepening cost-of-living crisis are giving way to a less disruptive approach as the leader of Africa’s most populous country prepares for a likely reelection bid in 2027.
“When Tinubu is done with this country, Nigerians will be begging to return to Buhari’s era, The 2027 results are already written. The only thing that can change Nigeria is rebellion against the system, against another sham election, not against democracy, anyway”
“Tinubu has no intention of restructuring Nigeria in a way that weakens Lagos’ grip on national revenue. Real restructuring means redistributing infrastructure, federal presence, and ports, which threatens the economic dominance of Lagos and the Southwest.”
