True

If anyone thinks he can corner us through kangaroo election in the senate this time around then he should write his/her will down first.

Thank God the saboteur betrayer of a SP is gone for good

This is the number 2 step to a better Nigeria.

All thanks to Kwarans for voting out the rotten head of the senate (the worst Senate President in the history of Nigeria!).

To a fresh start we go, a senate that will approve all the good and favourable laws and budget in time, not the ones bringing problems to the nation and ONLY think about how to loot our national treasury and having a personal vendetta with the presidency.

The CHANGE is here.
To the NEXT LEVEL we go...

So the shoot at sight of ballot box snatcher was not for APC thugs
Buhari is a disgrace
In Lagos people who wanted to vote for PDP was flocked with cane and PDP strong hold was disrupted

Here in Benin city at Western boys college APC thugs destroyed ballot papers and armed police men looked the other way. They didn't do anything
In ikpoba okha an APC candidate who sense he was already loosing wanted to gain access into INEC office several times but the youths never allowed him

So this is what mr integrity can offer
So The north refused to vote for atiku because he won't key into their Islamic agenda and born to rule mentality
They know he is liberal

Which means they are trying to unite and divide the whole south.

Which means in 2023 or next tinubu wings will be cliped and ribadu or el rufai might rule us

God which kind wahalar we don enter

Make atiku quickly get court injunction to stop the further announcement of results so that war and cataclysmic revolution can start right away

NASS #NextLevel

Better for them! The era of Saraki delaying budgets for personal gains is gone for good.

This is to the Yorubas that supported this plague; I hope you continue supporting them come 2023 and beyond. This is the tip of the iceberg. This is more than just developmental interest, this is about religion and tribe. The way I see it, you guys don't fit in. Very soon, you guys would not be needed. When that happens, don't cry foul because we'll be watching.

Enjoy your shitty 4+4 change.
P.S. I'm Yoruba too.

Sounds good to me.. Moving forward, let's see who will take the blame for Buhari's incompetence

It is well

Ajimobi lost: "No rigging". Dino won: "free and fair". Dogara won: "Will of the people". Binta Masi lost: "Her people rejected her". Atiku won in Ondo: "It's a reflection of the people's will". Akpabio lost his seat: "The people have spoken". BUT Buhari’s victories: "Massive rigging", "Worst election", "Nigerians love poverty", "It's election magic", "Rape on our democracy". Is there any better way to define political stupidity and desperation ?Haba
PDP (People's Desperate Party)

I heard Mark Zukerberg and Seun have been invited to Aso rock to crown Atiku the president of Facebook and Nairaland hahahahahahahaha

Atiku won all polls on socia media, while the real voters are nowhere near nairaland. hahahahahha

share for atiku like for buhari all over nairaland and atiku will still win.

this next four years..menh make i tie my belt..alot of stuff will happen...hunger .power misuse,scarcity of fuel or hike in price...mark my words...but behold God will be with us..

only a lunatic will be happy over a particular political party dominating the national Assembly.


a country without a vibrant opposition is gud as dead

Obviously, getting saraki out of the way was a big achievement for them

Yes ke

The change has truly come.

Hmmmm

A single party presidency, SENATE majority (apc majority will influence votes to favor apc),, presidency appointed chief justice undermines democracy as it will be a totalitarian regime but if that's what you want then sure; I won't argue.

Oshiomole's PDP has resigned Saraki and Atiku. .

Presidency is coming to the south after 2023. . so Atifku can wait to 2027 if he is still alive and our stolen money has not been completely recovered / stolen back from him.

PDP! Party of wailers!

Uba self go join Apc soon

Abia?

change is one party system?...we go suffer no be small

I agree nothing would change....but Atiku too won't have changed anything.

Our economy is fuelled by oil. Either oil goes above $139...our breakeven price....or our economy will remain sick.

Then Atiku too was talking about making fuel N90 per liter. In other words...he spends more of our savings on fuel subsidy...which worsens our economic crisis.

Atiku also has no plans for power supply, and said zilch about herdsmen crisis.

Plus...why are we voting for PDP or APC. There were other, far more competent candidates...but you people laugh at them, and go for same old.

And why vote for the same ATIKU who helped give us Mr 4+4?
