LOYALTY IS NOT STUPIDITY. BUT IN OBI'S CAMP, LOYALTY HAS BECOME FOOLISHNESS. Let us stop lying to ourselves. If this is how we are preparing for an election less than three months away, then we are a joke. We are not ready to take back what is rightfully ours. We are ready to lose again, beautifully, with fine English and motivational quotes. We are devouring our own builders, then wondering why the house is collapsing. 1. AISHA YESUFU — THE WOMAN WHO CARRIED US ON HER HEAD @AishaYesufu declared for FCT Senate. The party cancelled the primary. No contest. No fairness. The ticket was handed to someone else as if she were nobody. Wike mocked her on national television. Dickson spoke down to her. The campaign council list came out, and her name was missing. She STILL stayed. A man would have left. I would have considered stepping back. No one is a fool. You cannot give your all and not be compensated at the very least. Not necessarily with money, but with respect, with a fair process, with protection. Aisha stayed not because Obi's system works. She stayed because Aisha is Aisha. She is the exception. Do not use her to cover up shame. 2. MORRIS MONYE — THE MAN WHO USED HIS OWN MONEY TO BUILD THE MOVEMENT @Morris_Monye was Director of Mobilisation. He said it with his own mouth: He spent N40 MILLION of his personal funds. There was no bank account for his directorate. Not a single naira came from leadership. Peter Obi never once asked, "Morris, how is mobilisation going?" Nothing. Zero communication. His businesses were attacked because of Obi. He resigned in frustration, then returned to APOLOGISE for being hurt. Apologise for spending his own money! Then he pursued what he wanted from day one — ANIOCHA NORTH, DELTA STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY. Not House of Reps. Not Senate. State House of Assembly. He says he WON the primary. Then APC defectors who had just entered NDC in Delta arrived. Suddenly the story changed: "You lost the primary." He alleges the returning officer wrote a result to favour another person. He ran to @PeterObi late at night. Obi gave him "fatherly counsel." The NDC spokesperson @TheoAbuAgada then said national leadership had no hand in it, that it was state leaders — Utomi, Ochei — who decided. So Morris dropped the case. Out of respect for the Principal. Out of respect for the journey. He dropped it. Again. He swallowed it. Again. Is this how loyalty is rewarded in Obi's camp? You spend your money, you lose your ticket, and you go and apologise. 3. DR. YUNUSA TANKO — THE MAN WHO WATCHED ALL OF THIS HAPPEN @YunusaTanko was in the room when Morris was counselled to keep quiet. Tanko was Obi's spokesman in 2023. National Coordinator of the Obidient Movement. Tanko followed Obi from LP to ADC to NDC. Tanko was the voice, the face, the shield. October 1: He was demoted from Coordinator to Adviser. October 25: The NDC unveiled its National Campaign Council. Ibrahim Abdulkarim, @ziter001, was named Director-General. Obi was Co-Chairman of that council. Obi and Kwankwaso had been given the power to nominate its leaders. And then came the announcement praising the new DG: loyalty, consistency, sacrifice, stood firm. The exact qualities Tanko had given for three years, now credited to another man. Then came the final insult in that same announcement: "We are not here merely to make noise. We are here to organise." Translation: Tanko's era of noise is over. We need builders now. Builders like Ziter. Ziter updated his bio: DG NDC National Campaign Council. Tanko was then made to repost it. Twice. And call him "Boss." "Congratulations once again, Boss. The assignment has begun, and we are ready." BOSS. The former Coordinator calling his replacement Boss. That was the stroke that broke the camel's back. Five days later, Tanko resigned. Eleven days later, SDP unveiled him as National Coordinator for Adebayo. They gave him the title Obi refused to give him & you want to call him a traitor?

As a former minister, Dalung should direct this to the appropriate party leadership, where I think he will be listened to instead of going to the media. Unfortunately,you can’t ignore his point, bt there are better channels for addressing this. @DemolaRewaju

The living conditions at the 2026 @nysc_ng Camp in Sagamu, Ogun State, are inhuman. Comparing it to an IDP camp isn't an exaggeration—it's a reality check. @ChifeDr

We would be lucky if we even reach the venue of the rally before nightfall. This is really the beginning of a historic journey to rescue Nigeria from poverty, unemployment, and the unbearable cost of living inflicted on Nigerians by the incompetent and corrupt APC led by Tinubu @officialABAT. Don't worry, Atiku @atiku is coming! – at Adarawa, Nigeria

Senator James Talarico! The people’s Senator. Congratulations! The blue wave washes over Texas. Proud to be among the first to believe in your vision and potential. (In Texas twang, “we've howdied but we hain't shook”)

“The governor of Sokoto State cannot intimidate us. He is aware of the reality that the coming flag off from Sokoto State is an arrangement in place to unseat him...” ADC member Austin Okai says the party will go ahead with its campaign flag-off in Sokoto State despite alleged intimidation.

You're definitely hallucinating. A party that couldn't field candidates in over 12 states and missed nearly 110 National Assembly slots? I have no idea where you're coming from NDC is a joke
With the total collapse of Atiku and ADC campaign, due to Peter Obi moving to NDC. I hereby call on Atiku to put Nigeria first, and formally endorse Peter Obi for president. National Interest should override personal interest.

Kaduna had empty seats, and now calabar too, I am seeing empty seats. What's going on with APC campaign rallies despite all the huge resources they're throwing at it to make it massive?
Atiku said we should not go and pray, all right, but Atiku lives in Dubai. He only comes home on the eve of every election, and he will lose in January. By February, Atiku will be back in Dubai. If Peter Obi couldn’t fix Anambra in 8 years how can he look you koro koro in the eyes and say he only needs 4 years. - Sen. Adams Oshiomhole

In 2015 under former President Goodluck Jonathan and his @OfficialPDPNig , minimum wage was £90, petrol selling for N87 per litre. Nigerians said Jonathan wasn't good. Today, in 2016, under President Bola Tinubu and his @OfficialAPCNg , minimum wage is £52, while a litre of petrol is selling for N1,420. As you go to Church this morning and we approach the 2027 general elections, do whatever you like with this information. Your destiny is in your hands. #TinubuMustGo
