Bola Tinubu Weaponisation of Religion For Re-Election The photo in circulation attributed to a visitation of Middle Belt leaders is not actually a gathering of Middle Belt leaders, but a gathering of Northern Christian leaders Yakubu Dogara is from the far North-Eastern state of Bauchi and Ishaya Bamaiyi is from the far North-Western state of Kebbi. These are not Middle Belt territories. How come no Muslim is amongst these so called ‘Middle Belt’ leaders even when there are Muslims in the Middle Belt. Let’s be clear, what these men in this photo have in common is their shared faith in Christianity We in the ADC hereby condemn the weaponisation of religion against any rival candidate for the political benefit of @officialABAT or any other candidate @ADCNig also advises the Middle Belt leadership to distance themselves from any attempts to use their forum and banner in masking this kind of toxic religious weaponisation in our politics Running on a Muslim Muslim ticket is already an attempt to weaponise Islam, extending it to Christianity is a blatant disregard for people’s faith and is condemnable We hereby call on all Northern Christian leaders and Middle Belt leaders to lend their voices in their refusal to be used as tools in this evil political plot aimed at tearing our already fractured union or subjugating their fellow countrymen and women for political incentives and benefits If Bola desperately wants to get reelected, then he must find other non-toxic approach

A Kangaroo Judgment from a Judicial Contractor The framers of our democracy were very wise, and in their wisdom developed a solid democratic governance framework with 3 separate and coequal branch of government. The first two, the executive and legislative arms were intended to be political, and the 3rd arm, the judiciary be apolitical This design framework was intended to serve as check and balance against each other to prevent any form of overreach by any arm. The purpose of this architecture is for intervention of other arms against overreach of the others. However, interference of any arm on the others is an anomaly With this background, it is evident that the judiciary represents a special arm to be insulated from all politics and political machinations. However, this has not been the case as the politicians, recognising he who pays the piper dictates the tune, has recruited this supposed apolitical arm of government as judicial contractors executing political contracts The logic is simple here, one who can’t win by any means possible on the field outsources the task to the willing judges to either prevent their politically superior rival from making it to the ballot, or steal the election from a credible victor after the election. These judges have tasted the sweetness of preventing or stealing the people’s will for a financial cost, and are not willing to let go, and thus even go out of their way to solicit for more of these judicial contracts The thunderous reception and popularity of @atiku in his Sokoto outing brings clarity to the level of grass-root rejection @officialABAT faces especially in the core north that contributed over 60% of the votes that got him into office. Hence, one of the judicial contractors was immediately activated to release the kangaroo judgment of today intended to bar the main opposition Atiku from being on the ballot It is important to note that the legitimacy the judiciary gets is incumbent on trust. Trust in such a way that it gives judgements and the public abides by it, under the assumption that it is just. However, if this trust factor is eroded and the judges are now blatant in their execution of judicial contracts, should the public still trust these judgements or even abide by them? The obvious answer is in the negative Therefore, the kangaroo judgement from one of the judicial contractors trying to stop Atiku from representing ADC on the ballot is an exercise in futility that will be first laughed off, and ignored afterwards. The @ADCNig will continue to carry on with her business as though this judicial travesty never happened. These judicial contractors and their accomplices should save their time and efforts in the future, as all bought-and-paid-for judgements emanating from them will be blatantly disregarded by the ADC, its supporters, party men and women That said, Bola is being pathetic at this point. The self -proclaimed ‘master strategist’ must stop panicking and find a more creative way to surmount his impossibility of getting reelected, just like Aladdin flew and conquered on a magic mat Atiku must be on the 2027 presidential ballot and it is case closed!
