If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. - Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill (1874-1965)

Hahaha! I told you to tell your dumb leader called Peter Obidiot to defect to another party right now before it's too late. He has less than two weeks, otherwise he needs to forget his 2027 presidential ambition. Every mushroom party in Nigeria is inviting him to join them, because they know he has no chance in ADC. He is a political liability. He has become the joke of the country. He will be better off in a mushroom party. At least he can help them get recognition before they dump him by the way side.

Hahaha!

Join our party – NDC urges Obi, Kwankwaso

Daily Post 

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has asked Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso to join its party and contest the 2027 presidential election.

In a post on X on Sunday, the party said the two politicians have about two weeks to switch over and secure its presidential ticket.

“All we need right now. Just all we need. Two weeks to deadline,” the party wrote.

The post included a photo of Obi and Kwankwaso shaking hands with the caption, Nigeria will be OK.

This comes shortly after supporters of both men launched the “OK Movement” to build support for a possible joint presidential bid ahead of 2027.

The group’s spokesperson, Justin Ijeh, also announced new appointments into its national and state structures.

Meanwhile, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), where both politicians belong, is facing internal leadership problems that could affect its chances in the next election.

On April 22, the Supreme Court reserved judgement in a case between factions led by David Mark and Nafiu Bala.

At the same time, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has set May 30, 2026, as the deadline for political parties to submit membership lists and nominate candidates.

Opposition parties, including the ADC, a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), have asked INEC to extend the timeline to the end of July.

They argued that the current schedule is unfair and could put them at a disadvantage.
