I want To Tell Nigerians The Truth Tinubu Didn’t Win Election In February, I’m One Of His Men-Smart Adeyemi

Smart Adeyemi, a lawmaker from Kogi West Senatorial District, has claimed that Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, already had the election under his control because he had been campaigning for more than a decade and the results of the election were not decided on the February 25th because as one of Tinubu’s products, he knows the truth.

In an interview with Channels Television, Adeyemi praised the 2023 elections as among the best ever held in the nation and urged those disappointed by the results to try again next time. He added that Kashim Shettima and Tinubu are the best candidates to lead the nation.

In his own words

“Becoming Nigerian president is not a position you wake up to and is not something you can achieve overnight. You must establish a network that reaches every part of our nation.”

“I want to tell Nigerians the truth, Tinubu did not win the election in February, I am one of his men,” he declared. I speak my mind at any point in time. Now let me be honest with you—in my opinion, this election was more free than the last and better overall.”

“Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is not a man of today; he has been establishing connections, changing lives, and networking all throughout this nation for more than a half-century.”

According to Senator Adeyemi, Bola Tinubu did not win the election in February and, as one of his products, Tinubu had already won a long time ago because he had invested in people and established strong links throughout Nigeria. As a result, his success at the polls was not surprising.

“The Introduction of the BVAS helped to reduce state PVC that was been used all over the years, how come the APC ruling party didn’t win in their strong hold, how comes APC lost in Lagos, how come some APC Govervors of the ruling party didn’t win, how comes top members of the APC lost their ward?

Because some people didn’t just win you know want to paint everybody black, there is no doubt that there was pockets of violence. We are able to see the reality of the numbers. Infact the guy who invented the BVAS, Chidi Nwafor deserves a nation merit award.” Adeyemi, a lawmaker from Kogi West Senatorial District, has claimed that Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate, already had the election under his control because he had been campaigning for more than a decade and the results of the election were not decided on the February 25th because as one of Tinubu’s products, he knows the truth.

SDP condemns Kogi govt’s ban on rallies

Published

on

The Social Democratic Party (SDP) in Kogi State has condemned the ban on political rallies and convoys imposed by the state government.

State Chairman of SDP, Mr Ahmed Attah, issued the condemnation in a statement signed by the SDP Press Secretary, Isaiah Ijele, on Tuesday in Lokoja.

The party described the ban as an attack on democratic principles and a blatant attempt to silence opposition voices.

Attah urged Gov. Ahmed Ododo to learn from the past and avoid repeating old, harmful practices that have hindered the state’s progress.

“The party views this action as an attempt to suppress the freedom of association and movement enshrined in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” he said.

Attah insisted that the state is not at war and urged the government to focus on development instead of engaging in political manoeuver.

He warned that Kogi must not return to the dark days of repression, particularly against the opposition. (NAN)

Onovo, an activist and Head of Policy Positions, Movement for Fundamental Change (MFC), said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Tuesday in Lagos.

“The coalition of opposition leaders needs a candidate that is vigorous; a strong candidate to brighten its chances in 2027. The coalition needs somebody with a clear agenda and a clear vision.

“The opposition needs a candidate with a strong background of integrity. Nobody is perfect, but you need a strong background of integrity.

“The opposition needs somebody who is morally and mentally competent, and physically fit. The opposition does not need the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar or any old person if it wants to win.

“The opposition doesn’t need any old person now. It is time to use the energy of the young.

“They must present a strong candidate, who is strong morally, mentally, and physically, with a clear patriotic agenda to move the country forward, ” Onovo said.

He added that the coalition had a lot that could work to its advantage in 2027 and urged members to work with unity of purpose to achieve convincing victory.

Also speaking on chances of the ruling party in 2027, the politician said APC could remain in power if the challenges arising from subsidy removal and other economic issues were addressed by the present administration.

APC grants Governor Otu automatic ticket for 2027 election

Published

on

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Cross River on Monday granted Gov. Bassey Otu and his deputy, Mr Peter Odey, an automatic ticket for the 2027 general election.

Speaking at the APC Secretariat in Calabar, the party’s Chairman, Mr Alphonsus Eba, urged other party members aspiring for political positions to begin their consultations.

Eba clarified that apart from the governor and his deputy, no other individual had been given an automatic ticket by the party.

He encouraged other aspirants to return to their constituents and seek their support ahead of the elections.

“The State Working Committee and the State Executive Committee of APC met today and resolved that Governor Otu will be the party’s sole candidate in 2027,” he said.

He explained that the decision was based on the principle of continuity, stating, “Nobody changes a winning team. The governor and his deputy will fly the party’s flag in 2027.”

He added that even if Otu was reluctant to run, the party would still present only one ticket with his name, as was done in 2022.

“We appeal to him to listen to the desires of party members and accept the nomination,” Eba stated.

He also praised the deputy governor, currently acting as governor, for supporting President Bola Tinubu’s actions in Rivers.

Eba noted that some individuals had misrepresented the state’s position. He commended the acting governor for clarifying that South-South governors had not consulted him before opposing Tinubu’s decision.

He applauded the President for restoring peace in Rivers, preventing a political crisis. (NAN)
