Presidential election merit giveaway thread

[Decimetre]

Now, my question, why did you say none deserves your vote, that they have disappointed our generation? Specifically on Peter Obi, are there things or encounters politically that has occurred that discredits him, or as a Nigerian politician, he can't be good? Just really want to know, maybe there are things they are hiding from us that we don't know about him yet..

When they have been unable to do it for 66 years with many leader elected, who is going to do it better now? I hope Obi can become the president and see what I mean.

I saw a post from punch newspaper on its official Facebook page. The post was about Atiku Abubakar insisting on remaining in the presidential poll coming 2027 despite the federal high court in Abuja nullifying him as African democratic congress flag bearer.

We are expecting this. It is normal that Atiku Abubakar will appeal for it. All I know is that if he contest for president, he is not going to win, but maybe I am wrong but I am using what has happened in the past to judge.

Peter Obi convoy was attacked by hoodlums on Wednesday in Watt Market road about Calabar, Cross River State. Only one of the hoodlums was arrested and investigations are ongoing. Nothing much happened apart from breaking the windscreen of one of Peter Obi car. I don't know why these hopeless people are attacking politicians physical when the heartless ones are untouchable. I hope he faces the wrath of the law. Get the full details from the link below.

There is another one that I read which is in Delta State.

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/south-south-regional/923841-delta-govt-apc-condemn-attack-on-ndc-urge-independent-investigation.html

There's are several more attacks on the NDC as a party both during rallies and flag offs and even movement across the state. I read that on the 10th of October, the NDC supporters at Enugu state, while waiting to welcome the governorship candidate of the party, tor attacked by the police and dispersed with teargas and gunshots. The fear is rising and the aggression has been extended to every NDC support groups.

In the same pattern too, the state government denied knowing that one 43 years old man who was claimed to be dead during the attack, was dead and stated that only injuries were received https://www.premiumtimesng.com/regional/ssouth-east/916221-enugu-govt-condemns-attack-on-ndc-members.html

The tension is getting high. APC had another embarrassing moment at item Abia state during their campaign flag off when the congregation started chanting Obi, Obi, Obi which made Benjamin kalu to claim that they were planted instead of admitting that the masses were tired of the APC lies and deceit. https://guardian.ng/politics/abia-apc-condemns-alleged-plot-to-embarrass-tinubu-during-visit/

Their attacks will not stop neither will the masses be distracted. This is the spirit until Nigeria enters a good hand.

Your statement is quite Laughable, but what you’ve said is true, the election have already been conducted and won by Tinubu, there is no democracy in Nigeria, because our vote isn’t going to count and our vote have never been counted, Election materials are all fake which is why there is always going to be rigging in the Nigerian Elections, personally I don’t see myself going to vote in this General Elections because my vote isn’t going to be relevant, Tinubu have already won the election before it was conducted, the problem we have in Nigeria is that INEC isn’t a neutral body, INEC Chairman shouldn’t be appointed by a sitting President which is a very positive way to Rig elections in favour of someone who appointed them into those Positions. Nigerians aren’t ready to take over their country, I’m not interested in discussing whatever election’s Nigerians are having, I’m only interested in how Nigerians can call for a protest to take away their country from this criminals that we call our leaders, and it would definitely begin with us to take over our country, INEC have already rigged the Elections in favour of Tinubu.

When and where did they conduct the election that Tinubu won as the president of Federal Republic of Nigeria, because I don’t this your statement. The coming election will be a tough one for Tinubu he must campaign, many Nigerians are not happy with his first regime so do you mean he will easily get the second regime easily? Definitely NO.

That's Tinubu keep borrowing money here and there to brainwash Nigerians so they can vote him for the second time, talking about the INEC chairman he appointed him and anything can still happen, an election can only be manipulated when the margin is not convincing,  but there is a big margin bro Otilor.

I just came across a post on X that was published by channel Television. The post said that APC supporters were ambushed and attacked by thugs in Kastina. The APC supporters were on their way to a rally that was that was organized by the state governor. Cars belonging to APC chieftains were burnt at the scene of the attack and people sustained injuries. The incident happened yesterday the 31/10/2026. This image was taken from the scene.



APC have lost the support of the North that brought them to power in 2023. It will be difficult for APC to return to power without the North support.

This is only the beginning, and by the time Tinubu realises that the north is against his re election, his compaign organisers have made so much money. What happened in Katsina is just a tip of an iceberg compare to what  happen in zamfara and Kaduna state where APC posters was destroyed and their supporters brutalised by some angry youths. They have tagged them as thugs but those people don't look like thug, they are responsible youths who are angry about the insecurity in their states.
Tinubu DGs and big wings are just giving him false hopes because of the money that they are benefiting. The truth of the matter is that, Tinubu has Lost the support of northerners,  even if he release billions, people will still not vote for him on that Day.

Do you really think that Tinubu cares about this people carrying out violent protests, and my question is that does this people have voters card for them to exercise their civil rights ? Because it’s not just about protesting, people have been doing this for a long time and there have never been a result, this are the same people that will go to polling units and sell their votes for 1000 Naira, Tinubu have already masterminded his victory in the coming election by luring majority of the Governors to APC which is his strategy to win this election, we all know that INEC as a body is working for Tinubu, however I doubt if their votes are going to count, we are going to see big numbers for Tinubu from this same Northerners carrying whatever protest they think they’re doing, they should be facing their Governors by going to Government house to have that violent protest.

My problem with Nigerians are, whenever they are doing protest some of them are only aiming to destroy government properties, but anything that's  being destroyed are not affecting government alone, it also affecting us the more, because government will never use thier own commercial cars to travel, and when they destroy it, the private own commercial increases thier fees due to higher demand. So this time around we all need to shine our eyes and vote wisely and make sure our votes is count. If not this present governments are not ready to help the masses, imagine the current bills Tinubu wants to pass again, and his aim was to taking the loans to double the previous ones so that it would be hard for anyone that comes power after him to bring back subsidy.

The worse thing anybody we think on is to assume that the ruling party is going into the 2027 election to play fair. From the current issue of the removal of Atiku from the ballot to all the millions they are already sending to different wards promising that any ward that delivers will get as much as 10 million naira, it should be clear to all that the ruling party under president Bola Ahmed Tinibu will do anything within his power to get back into Aso Rock.

The whole attack on the APC campaign team is just a mere orchestrated propaganda that’s cooked up to suggest that all the parties carrying out their campaign have been attacked at some point. The unfortunate thing is that the poor masses will suffer during and after the election.

[Audrey Simmons]

Yea, I just read that this morning. It's becoming a problem and seems like the NDC don't know how to curtail this anymore. First in calabar, and now, just this Saturday, another at Delta. Of course, we expect the rulling APC to deny it. The big question is, who is behind these attacks?

We don't need to ask questions about the incident that happened at Delta, ever since Obi picked the presidential candidate form, APC has never stopped fighting him, both physically and when he's giving his speech, we all know who the strongest candidates are for this forth coming election.

Tinubu vs Obi, Tinubu, in the ruling party, has the strongest force, but Obi has the support of the people. Only that we have animals in the midst of humans, those are the thugs sent to scatter whatever the NDC is doing, even before the election, threats have been given to anybody wanting to vote for Obi. APC is not hiding commiting this attrocities, they have all the positions to sweep the case under the table.

[Mayor of ogba]

We are expecting this. It is normal that Atiku Abubakar will appeal for it. All I know is that if he contest for president, he is not going to win, but maybe I am wrong but I am using what has happened in the past to judge.

I don't even see Atiku Abubakar becoming the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because Nigerians don't want him to rule them, and Bola Ahmed Tinubu revealing that he built a private university in his name when he was vice president to Oluṣẹgun Ọbasanjọ will even reduce his chances of winning the presidential election, so I agree with you that he's not going to win.

[Akaenyi]

We have gone past the stage of the updates about the presidential election and I'm categorically stating that my preferred candidate in this coming election in January, is none other than Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, and I hope that they win. But if we are sincere to ourselves we will know that it is not easy to unseat an incumbent in an election especially in a country like Nigeria, where election rigging is the order of the day. Some people can argue that former late president Buhari, unseated Jonathan, who was the incumbent but remember that many people agreed that Jonathan stepped down for the sake of peace because the election was confirmed to be rigged.

My worry is about election rigging in this country, I'm asking myself what are the chances of a free and fair election in this country? In the last election the oppositions said that Peter Obi and labor party didn't have a structure meaning that they didn't stand a chance in the election, but labor party surprised them and the masses voted massively for Peter Obi. A lot of us believe that he won that election, I just hope that our votes will count in this coming election. I hope that INEC is equal to the task with their upgrades in this coming election.

[Jubilee58]

I have been noticing too many threads about 2027 presidential election. It would be a better if we bring the discussion into a single thread, and which is the purpose of this thread.

You can also use this to discuss about National Assembly (both Senates and House of Rep).
Discussing about gubernatorial and state house of assembly election are also welcome.

But what connected all of us together here is the presidential election.

Here are the lists of all presidential candidates and their pictures: https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/articles/ckgwky4q4gno.amp

You have created a nice idea here, considering the time we are into, this is an election period where politics, and 2027 general election is being discussed on the news, so discussing it in a single platform is a welcomed idea instead of discussing them among other topics.
We have been making post on politics, and election before now, but this system now makes it very interesting as you can easily discuss any topic of your interests with ease.

However, as the presidential candidates listed here, I believe everyone has his own candidate, but we should not choose a candidate out of tribalism, but we should choose our candidate out of credibility, and for the present APC government, I think they have done more harm than good in this country Nigeria, and should not be considered by voters in the upcoming presidential election.

The only problem I see in NDC is that they don't have a good structure because there is no political stalwart in the other positions. Like for governors, i haven't seen a strong governorship candidate under the NDC likewise in the legislative positions too because having potential candidates in those positions helps the presidential candidate because they will have to do most of the job in the grassroots. You can't just present yourself as a presidential aspirant while you do not have a solid backings in other areas. It's really heartbreaking that at this time we are still seeing thugs harassing campaigners, is it that they are happy with the way the country is?

[Mr Reporter]

I don't even see Atiku Abubakar becoming the next president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria because Nigerians don't want him to rule them, and Bola Ahmed Tinubu revealing that he built a private university in his name when he was vice president to Oluṣẹgun Ọbasanjọ will even reduce his chances of winning the presidential election, so I agree with you that he's not going to win.

I have a lot of reason why I think he should not even be made a vice talk more on been the president, the so called Atiku who is claiming to be the founder of American University of Nigeria in yola was built with public funds, it just so annoying that every time his dear babe supporters always frame it as he invested in education in the North, he created jobs, he brought American-style university to Nigeria.

He just keeps wasting money thinks he might get a chance to lead Nigeria….

Just like a lot of Nigerians thought we will never have a president like Buhari, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has proven us wrong. Now we are missing Buhari because a man who just desire to become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria just because he believes it's his turn is ruling us and he has made the cost of living so high that almost everyone in the country is struggling to survive. Atiku Abubakar on the other hand want to become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria so that his name will go down as one of the presidents of Nigeria, he doesn't have anything to offer, if Atiku Abubakar eventually wins the presidential election, he will be worse than Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and we will miss Bola Ahmed Tinubu just the same way we are missing Buhari.

The desperation of Atiku Abubakar is what I'm yet to understand. He has been running for Presidency for over 33 years with about 7 attempts if I'm not mistaken, what is the agenda that he has that he is so inquisitive about becoming Nigeria president. We know that most of these politicians that built schools and universities used public funds to establish them and turn them to private properties but since we live in a country with no accountability, it will be difficult to know the truth behind institutions that some of these politicians privatised. I heard that Atiku Abubakar owns an oil block, is this even supposed to happen? I thought all petroleum resources belongs to the federal government.

Nigeria is a funny place and so many things happening.

In the matter of this election and presidential candidates, for me all of them are not qualified to rule Nigeria again, because what I see is just a circle of same people that have been in power and don't want to give up that power again because of how intoxicated they are all. If Nigeria was a working country, a lot of these guys would have been arrested even before they left the office they once occupied, it's just so bad that Nigeria has oil and resources like the Arab giants but can't boost of anything close to the infrastructure those guys have set up.

Note: even if Peter Obi wins, is it possible that his cabinet member aren't all corrupt? Because it's same people still under his camp too, it's just one big circle ⭕ guys, check it and you will know what am talking about.

This days I find it annoying that I even involve myself in Nigeria dirty politics talks, people say Bihari meant well but he was slow and out of touch with the economy, you know one of the painful moments in that his tenure naira artificially strong which made people die,kept paying subsidy, and borrowed a lot to hide back then was all they care for…his government was a bad one till death many people lost there 20s all because of his tenure but the question is were is he? One funny fact about is that no matter how wicked and heartless you think you can be when it time to meet with your creator all the wealth would not be worth it because you are  leaving them behind…

Buhari had two lives, he died in Saudi Arabia and was buried there as claimed by Mazi nnamdi kanu and the second time he died was in Katsina state where he was finally buried. After he died, his family pleaded for forgiveness from Nigerians whom her late husband might have offended. But as for me, I haven't forgiven him yet because he made life terrible for me when he was alive.

Buhari is gone and Nigerians have forgotten about him except his family. As Nigerians, we forget so easily. We have forgotten about the new Naira notes saga, which Ifeayi Emefiele and Buhari use to make life a living hell for Nigerians, I won't forget how Nigerians starved despite that we have money in the banks. These leaders have taken us for their rides for too long, enough is enough, it's either we send those who are behind our sufferings out of the presidential villa or we all be ready for the worse.

[Tetu100]

However I would like to tell people ahead of time that, the election has been won already, INEC has already dropped buckets  for people to lament and cry as usual, when we are ready, we will conduct elections, but for now, let the deceiving continue.

I wouldn't know what you mean by this but I think this is not the best way of having a better Nigeria. You don't have to conclude yet with those discouraging words of yours. However, i know the system is pretty currupt but that doesn't bend us automatically to the wicked people in power. Even though there are higher chances of rigging in the forthcoming election, that will likely be possible when the turn over is very low. As a matter of fact, our votes is our voice and our weapon, if politicians has concluded that they got the victory in this next election then why are they not sleeping at the moment. Yet they keep on having sleepless nights all because they already know the power and its implications if we as Nigerians citizens can unite as one.  I know is not going to be easy in this battle of having a functioning Nigeria but the power in unity is something you can't comprehend.

This news was reported by politics Nigeria. The European Union Announces fresh Move Against Election Violence In Nigeria.

The European Union (EU) has announced plans to provide additional funding to strengthen human rights protection and prevent election-related violence in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The proposed support will focus on protecting civic and political spaces, strengthening democratic participation and supporting Nigerian institutions and civil society organisations working to promote credible elections.

This announcement comes amid concerns over alleged political intimidation, voter harassment, hate speech, electoral violence and restrictions on the rights of citizens, journalists and human rights defenders.

Link: https://opr.news/2f7b9299261111en_ng?link=1&client=ex_yl_bite

I think it has been the attitude of some political parties to portray violence, and use it to oppress the right of other citizens, this election violence is the medium these political parties uses to install their own candidate instead of the Nigerian masses choosing their own candidate.
If the European Union can make this gesture, it will be highly appreciated by many Nigerians especially those of us seeking for credible leadership, and the welfare of our dear country Nigeria.
I sincerely support the initiative of the European Union, this will put a limitation to ballot box snatching, killing of citizens, enable every citizen of Nigeria to exercise their voting right without any form of intimidation.

What's your opinion?

[letteredhub]

What do we think about the AI integrations, is it going to help the result to become more authentic or is it another feature to rig the election for their preferred candidate?

INEC has integrated automated AI auditing tools into its results verification process ahead of the 2027 general elections.
INEC has established a dedicated Artificial Intelligence Division.

Automated AI auditing tools are already integrated into results verification.

The system will operate with mandatory human oversight.

INEC says AI will also help detect anomalies and tackle election disinformation.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has established a dedicated Artificial Intelligence Division and integrated automated AI auditing tools into its election results verification process ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Based on antecedents, in previous elections no one has successfully proved that the technology employed by INEC could have being compromised because it very difficult to convince a judge about such fact, however, INEC being the electoral umpire could step in at any time to justify the outcome of the election not minding whether the facilities malfunctioned or may have been hacked during the electoral processes.

If they haven't being able to handle several devices such as the BEVAS, how can we be sure they can competently engage the use of AI, especially when they have admitted that some of their staffs had included some AI voters into their voter register unauthorized.

The European Union (EU) has announced plans to provide additional funding to strengthen human rights protection and prevent election-related violence in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections.

This is a very good news if truly the European Union will be funding human rights so that there will be no violence during the next presidential election. But is it possible that there will be no violence during election in Nigeria? I do not think I have seen such before in presidential election. But I hope this time it can be different, but I doubt it.

Thr election has not began, but we have read news about many different thugs attacks.

One was arrested recently.
Police arrest suspected Lagos thug for attacking NDC supporters at Obi’s town hall meeting

I think this is third thug attack that has been posted on this thread that I know of.
