Bully Vs. Bully Hope Uzodinma vs Rochas Okorocha When two bullies fight themselves, it is never about the people, it’s as always about power grabbing! #NigeriaDecides2027

Dear identity fraudster @Omojuwa I hope this is part of the revenue problem you heavily argued is the problem of Nigeria? Yes, it’s revenue afterall and not corruption.
Minister of Women affairs, Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman Ibrahim. Sharing bundle of N100,000 to every person inside this hall I believe this is our Subsidy money. it's better to reverse it than allow these few number of clowns enjoying, while 200m Nigerian suffering.

APC’s removal from National government will be Nigeria’s second Independence after that of 1960 from the British. Nigerians need to make this happen! #NigeriaDecides2027

I have never engaged this boy ever because I know he is of zero substance. But I did not know is that most likely, he may not truly be a Lawyer, because I am finding it difficult to substantiate how a lawyer will photoshop a pitcure, and still claim he had done an action (we have arrested him). Emmanuel, for the sake of those who spent money to train you in school, if you have nothing working for you as a Lawyer, be humble and think of what else to do with your life. Stop spreading fake news! Stop misinforming the people!
I said ā€œthey will face the law for sureā€ and under the comment section, most of you were ranting. We have arrested one of the murderers and he will be charged for murder. He will also provide other NDC supporters who murdered the task force guy in Delta. WE WILL GET THEM ALL!

The reality is that 1.6 million is nowhere close to the figures these criminals in APC have added to the register. 1.6 million is not even close to the numbers they did in one state alone. Coming out to announce 1.6 million is simply an outlook for a cleansing face. Like they say in literature, the devil is in the details
INEC REMOVES 1.6 MILLION RECORDS FROM VOTERS' REGISTER, IDENTIFIES 54 STAFF IN 10 STATES AS COMPLICIT The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced the removal of 1,609,553 records from the national register of voters following a clean-up of the 2025/2026 Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) exercise. It also revealed that 54 persons across ten states have been identified as complicit in the irregularities and face disciplinary action and possible prosecution. INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, SAN, disclosed this at a press conference on the display and publication of the Preliminary Voters Register held at the Commission’s Headquarters on Monday 9th November, 2026. Prof. Amupitan said the figure comprises 1,608,660 confirmed invalid registrations and 873 records belonging to verified deceased persons, which were removed as a separate category. The Commission harvested 11,088,238 records from the three phases of the 2025/2026 CVR, and the Automated Biometric Identification System (ABIS) initially flagged 1,545,052 of these for examination. He cautioned that flagging does not equal invalidity. "A flagged record is not necessarily an invalid registration: automated screening identifies matters requiring review, while authorised adjudication determines the outcome," he said. Before the Preliminary Register was published, 1,277,052 registrations had been confirmed invalid and excluded. A further 268,000 cases then went to adjudication following objections, claims and complaints received during the display. Of these, 217,722 were confirmed invalid and removed, while 50,278 were cleared as valid and retained. Additional screening identified 113,886 more invalid registrations, which were also removed, bringing the post-display removals to 331,608. "The Commission confirms that the current register-cleaning exercise for the 2025/2026 Continuous Voters Registration (CVR) has been concluded," Prof. Amupitan said. The chairman said the Commission considered the scale of the removals "significant enough to warrant an examination of how it occurred and those responsible for this." According to him, the technical assessment examined suspected multiple registrations, unusual registration patterns, substituted photographs and irregularities in registration transactions, and found that some registration personnel acted deliberately. "The Commission found instances in which certain registration personnel deliberately circumvented established registration procedures and misused provisions intended for exceptional registration circumstances including for persons with disabilities," he said. He added that the affected records had been identified and subjected to review and remediation, and that the personnel involved had been identified for further administrative investigation. "Fifty-four persons cutting across ten States have been identified as complicit and necessary disciplinary action will be taken against them including possible prosecution," he said. To prevent a recurrence, the Commission is strengthening its registration controls with "enhanced biometric capture, authentication and verification safeguards." The announcement follows complaints, claims and objections received during the display of the Preliminary Register at the ward level between 9 and 15 October 2026, and its subsequent online publication. Members of the public pointed to apparently artificial or manipulated photographs, duplicate registration attempts, unusual names and registration patterns, and deceased persons remaining on the register. Some alleged the irregularities were intentional and aimed at compromising the 2027 elections.

When Catholic Bishops visited Tinubu in Abuja and pleaded with him for a free, fair and credible election in 2027. Tinubu looked them to their faces and said he can’t give back power easily. Every single person in his cabinet defended that statement. His supporters went about celebrating it and threatening Nigerians. What happened in Asaba, Delta state really shocked APC and Tinubu's supporters. They thought because Tinubu is the president therefore he’s has monopoly of madness. Obidients and NDC members on Saturday bruised their ego and their only hope to win the 2027 election and that's why they're crying and threatening against self defense.

From the time Funsho Williams was murdered, the PDP candidates in Lagos gubernatorial race has always been APC plan B. I worked with Jimmy Agbaje's campaign team and I have never seen the kind of lackadaisical attitude in the candidate that wants to take Lagos from Tinubu's hand.

If there is anything Peter Mbah should not campaign with for second tenure, that should be electricity. Just same way Tinubu can’t dare campaign with electricity. REASON: These two promises were what stood out in their first term campaign, and they failed woefully on them. It is very insensitive and irresponsible to look at Ndi Enugu and tell them that Peter will give them water in 3 months of reelection when he could not do it in 4 years of first term.
Dear Enugu people, Peter Mbah will give you water in his first 3 months after reelection. Peter Mbah will rebuild the Smart Schools to China and Turkish Standards. Peter Mbah will build a tram line from Owo to Agbani, Achi, Obollo, Opi and Iwollo Oghe. Peter Mbah will give you free electricity. No more darkness in Enugu. Peter Mbah will build 100,00 houses for poor people in Enugu. Peter Mbah will start paying every unemployed Enugu youth 500k monthly for upkeep. Just tell me why you won’t love this man and re-elect him in 2027? You go vote Peter Mbah abi you no go vote?

After watching the #LagosGovernorshipDebate yesterday, one thing that was clear is that Lagos electorates have TWO options to follow for a better Lagos governance outside the current slavery governance system that has held Lagos since 1999. 1. Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivours: ADC Gubernatorial Candidate. Throughout the debate, he continued on a clear path of his vision for Lagos guided by a comparative approach to governance. He frequently referenced that governing Lagos, a low line area below sea level will demand the same approach taken by Venice-Italy government and Japan; these are places with much higher coastal water area than Lagos. He will definitely make a good Lagos Governor. 2. Funsho Doherity: NDC Gubernatorial Candidate. Like the Gbadebo, he possesses a strong sense of governance and what he has seen as the Lagos problem. His understanding of the Lagos revenue wastage under the Tinubu long spanning hold of Lagos State was clear. He was able to recheck the fact checkers that verdict his claim on Lagos IGR as false. His understanding of the Agbero system in Lagos as a pyramid eco-system, with the boys collecting money and causing chaos as people only on the ground level of the pyramid only looking for subsistence, while the bigger money moves top to the pyramid. He will definitely make a good Governor. Over to you Lagos Voters! WHO ARE YOU VOTING FOR? #NigeriaDecides2027 #LagosGovernorshipDebate #LagosDecides #LagosDecides2027
My observation from the LAGOS GOVERNORSHIP DEBATE A very interesting debate for the #LAGOSGOVERNORSHIPDEBATE ahead of the #LAGOSDECIDES2027 Firstly, all the candidates seems to be enlightened, and clear in speech. That’s a good outlook to start with. Secondly, the candidates of ADC, APC, and NDC have independent thoughts and opinions, however, the PDP Candidate seems to be a collaborator of the APC’s initiative. He almost agreed with everything the APC candidate said and barely offered alternatives. Thirdly, the APC candidate Obafemi Hamzat, despite being in government in the last 16 years as both Commissioner and currently a deputy Governor was able to stamp his own vision for the state away from the current government. Fourthly, the ADC candidate Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, though the youngest among them has a very different personality, a personality adorned in a clear path of different approach to governance. He has a strong sense of he intend to change things. Fifthly, NDC Candidate Funsho Doherty presents a vey calm nature somewhat similar to that of the ADC candidate. His stand on transportation and his plan about the agbero ecosystem gained him a lot of points. Sixthly, the PDP candidate appeared to be more of an APC candidate than that of PDP, almost did not present any alternative to the current government. Finally, as the Governorship election approaches, the work is left for the electorates in Lagos to decide which of these men interests them the most. Do Lagos electorates want the status quo to remain in place or do they wish to combat the long reign of the Tinubu’s hold of the state single the beginning of the 4th republic. #NigeriaDecides2027 #lagosdecides
