HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY TO MY BROTHER AND FELLOW PARTNER IN SERVICE TO NIGERIA, RABIU MUSA KWANKWASO As you mark your 70th birthday on October 21, I honour not only an accomplished public servant but also a very dear elder brother and partner whose life has been dedicated to serving our people. With the passage of time, I have come to deeply appreciate the bond between us, the many conversations we have shared, and the common commitment to Nigeria that continues to shape our service. Your path through the legislature, the Federal Executive Council, the governorship of Kano State, and national public life represents decades of experience, duty, and meaningful engagement with the Nigerian people. Turning seventy is not merely a significant milestone; it is a moment to look back with gratitude on a life devoted to service, the wisdom gained through experience, and the opportunities that remain ahead. As we continue to hope for and work toward a better Nigeria, I remain grateful for our partnership and for our shared conviction that our nation can become a place where no child is deprived of opportunity, no family is left in poverty, and every Nigerian can live with dignity, security, and hope. My dear brother, may God bless you with renewed strength, good health, wisdom, and many more productive years. May the years ahead be filled with peace, fulfilment, and the satisfaction of seeing the values we cherish take firmer root across our nation. Warmest congratulations on your 70th birthday, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso @KwankwasoRM . I honour you on this special occasion and pray that the chapter ahead will be filled with abundant blessings and many more purposeful years. -PO

Replying to @inecnigeria
@inecnigeria has DELIBERATELY IGNORED to publish the voters’ register as prescribed by the Electoral Act, BUT the victims of Nigeria are preparing for an election superintended by this lawless and hopelessly corrupt body? “Those who make peaceful change impossible..”🇳🇬🔥

Contrary to Joash Amupitan’s declaration; ELECTORAL LAW GIVES CANDIDATES THE RIGHT TO RECORD, MAKE A VIDEO OF FORM EC8A AND HAVE THEIR OWN SITUATION ROOM. “We have eighteen candidates. They are free under the law to have their IReV,….situation room. They are free under the law to publicize, to report what INEC had officially under section twenty-five, because section twenty-five is a creation of an office, a distinction to be made between declaration of a winner and announcement of result. Who now says that result that have been legally, officially announced by the presiding officer, that the party agent that are entitled to have that result cannot send it to their situation room? Who says that?” — Mike Igini schools Joash Amupitan on electoral act.

INEC is openly disregarding the provisions of the Electoral Act on the publication of the voters’ register online, yet the Nigerian media is largely silent. As of the last time I checked, only @fijnigeria had reported on this. We are taking note.

Let me say this again to His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi @PeterObi , APC will deploy thugs and Agberos again to all the polling unit in Lagos state like they did in 2023. Many of your supporters won't be allowed to vote. There might be casualties like it happened in 2023. I escaped narrowly by God's mercies. I'm not scared to go again in 2027 but the NDC must put plans in place to ensure that our supporters are not disenfranchised in Lagos again. This is crucial! – at Ikeja, Nigeria

My decision to wait for marriage & pursue a pure heart daily isn’t rooted in trying to follow rules. It’s rooted in knowing who I am and how God sees me. Lovely, pure and deeply treasured. I’m choosing to protect what is sacred, saving that gift for the one person I’ll share

We have long concluded that President Bola Tinubu (@officialABAT) and co. live in perpetual delusion. Despite a reported $9 million D.C. engagement, here are just a few reminders: *President @realDonaldTrump and members of Congress are now fully aware of allegations that Nigerian President Tinubu was part of a criminal organization that smuggled heroin from Nigeria into the United States during the 1980s and 1990s. * President #Tinubu’s planned @UN meeting with President #Trump blocked. * The effort to secure a photo-op with President Trump and President #Tinubu blocked. * The push for a #Tinubu White House meeting blocked. * The effort to secure U.S. support for #Tinubu’s presidential campaign against other candidates blocked. * Congressional leadership support for President #Tinubu blocked. * The U.S. gained access to $700 billion in mines while President #Tinubu got nothing. Achieved. * Congressional bill targeting President Tinubu's government and election integrity introduced. * President Tinubu classified as a liability. Achieved. Dear President #Tinubu, by God's grace, we are only just getting started. You allegedly smuggled heroin (poison) into our country. We will not stop until you are one day indicted and join Nicolás Maduro. That is a promise. @JDVance @SusieWiles47 @HouseForeignGOP @HouseForeign @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats @SenateGOP @SenateDems @StateDept @SecRubio @DeputySecState @AsstSecStateAF @WhiteHouse @PressSec
End of an era! We’re practically done with Karl von Batten Montague, AKA Ikemefuna Okeke. One tiresome chapter, finally gone for good ..some nuisances are best left in the rearview mirror.

This is Dr. Von Batten. With the introduction of the bipartisan bill, Congress is making its opinion and intentions clear. The United States will aggressively pursue our strategic mineral needs while maintaining the core values that make us different from #China and exceptional among other nations. The United States will not set aside its integrity and values for access to critical minerals and metals. With the explicit mention of #Nigeria in the bill, Congress is putting Nigerian President Bola Tinubu (@officialABAT) and other foreign governments on notice. Apart from mining, under the bill's proposed U.S. Cyber and Digital Technology Procurement Program, the U.S. Secretary of State would assess whether a foreign government uses, or is likely to use, technology to: 1. Interfere with elections — including using technology to limit or control elections or protests. 2. Target opposition parties — including monitoring political opponents, activists, journalists, and political dissidents. 3. Suppress political speech — including censorship or targeting people for their political views. 4. Commit transnational repression — including using technology to target critics beyond the government's borders. @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats @washingtonpost @CNN @PressSec
We thank Congressman @RepHuizenga and the amazing Congresswoman @RepYoungKim for introducing the bipartisan bill H.R. 10675. It is in the interest of the United States to ensure that mining deals across Africa, especially in #Nigeria, abide by anti-corruption, child labor, and transparency laws. @HouseGOP and @HouseDemocrats are united on this issue. H.R. 10675 explicitly names #Nigeria in provisions addressing questionable mining operations involving forced labor, child labor, and environmental harm, and also targets corruption, political repression, election interference, and transnational repression. The bill bans technology assistance to foreign governments engaged in election interference, suppression of political opponents, and the use of technology to intimidate critics. Let Nigerian President Bola Tinubu (@officialABAT) be on notice: The U.S.–Nigeria mining MOU is not a blank check or an endorsement of your presidency. We will continue urging Congress and the @realDonaldTrump Administration to scrutinize the agreement's beneficiaries. President Tinubu's government is not above congressional oversight, regardless of whether @Republicans or @Democrats control Congress. @realDonaldTrump @SusieWiles47 @WhiteHouse @SecRubio @StateDept @HouseForeignGOP @HouseForeign @SenateForeign @SFRCdems @StateDept @SecRubio @PressSec @AsstSecStateAF @washingtonpost @FoxNews @CNN @Reuters

EXCLUSIVE: From Obasanjo to Tinubu, we break down 27 years of petrol price increases in Nigeria, including a nearly 600% jump. And here’s the shocker: ₦1,000 once bought 50 litres of petrol. Today, it can’t even buy ONE! How did we get here? Watch the breakdown, then share your thoughts in the comments. #Petrol #NNPC #APC #Fuel #Nigeria #ParallelFacts

I had seen various tweets about @inecnigeria deploying AI in the upcoming elections, and honestly, I got worried. How can the same INEC that cannot guarantee the electronic transmission of results now be talking about deploying AI? 🤔 So today, I decided to look for the actual video of the INEC Chairman speaking about AI. I listened to it carefully and broke down what he actually meant. And interestingly, what he is describing is not AI deciding election results. He is talking about using AI to detect anomalies and discrepancies in result data, while humans retain oversight. He also mentioned using AI-driven anomaly detection for cybersecurity - monitoring database traffic and detecting possible intrusions or unauthorised alterations. So, technically, what he described does “make sense”. BUT… it raised some very pertinent questions for me. 1. What exactly is the AI being used to detect? 2. Who developed the system? 3. What data is it trained or tested on? 4. How does INEC define an “anomaly”? 5. What happens when the AI flags a result? 6. Who reviews the flag? 7. Can political parties independently audit or verify the system? And this one is particularly important: 8. Will the intrusion-detection system include detecting results uploaded using mobile phones - which, according to @mundx_analytics, was the case with some of the results they analysed from the last election? 9. What exactly will the system flag when it sees an unusual upload or transmission pattern? 10. And perhaps most importantly: what does “AI verification” actually mean if Nigerians cannot independently verify how the AI arrived at its conclusions? AI detecting an anomaly is NOT the same thing as AI proving electoral fraud. So I’m less concerned about the word “AI” itself and more interested in the process, transparency, safeguards and human accountability behind it. If we’re going to deploy AI in an election as sensitive as ours, we deserve to know exactly what it is doing - not just hear impressive-sounding AI terminology.🙄
Wait... so after months of keeping a low profile, INEC is now telling us that Artificial Intelligence will verify the 2027 election results? First, it was BVAS glitches and server downtime. Now we’re handing over the figures to "AI"? Who programmed the algorithm? Who owns the source code? Are we legalising "tech magic" before the votes are even cast? Because if an algorithm decides the results, then the election isn't won at the polling units any more — it's decided in Abuja. Are we modernising democracy or creating the cleanest, most legal "glitch" in Nigerian history? 🗳️ 👀 What do you think—innovation or a new level of rigging? 👇 #INEC #NigeriaElections2027

Let us be clear: @mundx_analytics does not declare election results. What we do is independent election results tracking and analysis, aggregating and analysing polling-unit results as they become available and flagging anomalies in real time. We have already built the system, and in 2027 we will deploy it across all elections from the Presidency to the State Houses of Assembly. We are not declaring results. We are independently tracking and analysing them. Nigeria needs transparency at every level of the electoral process.

It is no longer business as usual. Our founder, Martin Uwakwe, on @channelstv Morning Brief: in 2027, our goal is to analyse results as they reach the IReV portal and flag discrepancies in real time, not after the fact. A transparent process benefits everybody. #NigeriaDecides2027 #Mundx #INEC
