The Ijegun—Egba people have a shrine which is the traditional evidence that they are the rightful owner of the Ijegun—Egba and its environment, which is the more reason the Ibasa people want to take over the shrine and dominate the entire village, to actualize the dream, they secured the installation of a baale from Ibasa in Ijegun Egba with the assistance of Chairman of Oriade local government, which further exposed their level of desperation, they also build their Baale’s house right in front of the shrine to prevent the people of Ijegun—Egba from having access to the shrine and the entire village.

Nigeria Needs a Revolution, Not Rhetoric: Why the ADC Coalition Must Become the People’s Weapon in 2027. (Opinion)

Nigeria Needs a Revolution, Not Rhetoric: Why the ADC Coalition Must Become the People’s Weapon in 2027. (Opinion) 

By George Omagbemi Sylvester | Published by SaharaWeeklyNG.com

 

Across Nigeria today, from the sun-scorched plains of Borno to the oil-rich creeks of the Niger Delta and from the trading hubs of Onitsha to the dusty streets of Zaria, one thing binds the masses beyond party lines: SUFFERING. The hardship in the land has reached an unprecedented crescendo, one so loud that even the most politically apathetic citizens are now tuning in. In this climate of anguish and desperation, the emergence of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition has sparked a rare glimmer of hope. Not necessarily because of the faces at the helm, but because Nigerians are desperate for a revolution of leadership and governance.

Let us be clear: NIGERIANS are not FOOLS. They know that names and faces come and go in politics, but the system has remained rotten/corrupt, exploitative and deaf to the cries of the people. The APC government, under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has not only failed to alleviate the nation’s burdens; it has multiplied them. The cost of living is sky-high, the naira is worthless, fuel prices have become the stuff of horror movies and insecurity still rules the highways and farmlands. The people are tired. What we need now is not just another political party, a platform for revolutionary change and the ADC coalition must rise to become that platform.

The Nigerian Condition: A Crisis in Progress
Nigerians have long endured a crisis of leadership. From PDP’s years of squandered opportunities to APC’s regime of economic hardship, the nation has been on a downward slope. Today, Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world, with over 133 million citizens living in multidimensional poverty, according to the National Bureau of Statistics (2022). This is not just a statistic; it is a death sentence for the poor, a nightmare for the middle class and a disappointment for the youth.

Inflation has skyrocketed. As of June 2025, Nigeria’s headline inflation stands above 34%, with food inflation even worse. A bag of rice now costs over ₦80,000, a loaf of bread ₦1,200 and petrol hovers around ₦1,200 per litre; up from ₦184 when Tinubu took over. The average Nigerian worker earns less than ₦30,000 a month and over 20 states have refused to implement the new ₦70,000 minimum wage passed in 2024. What kind of WICKEDNESS is this?

The education system is in disarray. Federal universities are on strike, while Tinubu offers scholarships to students in faraway Saint Lucia. Hospitals lack basic equipment. Youth unemployment is over 53%, and kidnappings and terrorism are once again becoming part of daily headlines. The people no longer need promises; they need a way out.

Why the ADC Coalition Offers Hope.
This is where the ADC coalition comes in. But let’s be frank: it will not succeed simply by existing. Nigerians are tired of empty structures. What is needed is a RADICAL MOBILIZATION of the masses, a people-powered revolution that transcends RACE, RELIGION, ETHNICITY and POLITICAL history.

As Wole Soyinka once said, “The man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny.” The ADC must not remain silent or soft-spoken (it must become the thunderbolt that breaks the back of the oppressive elite class. Every well-meaning Nigerian) civil servant, student, trader, mechanic, teacher, imam, pastor and unemployed graduate; must see the ADC coalition not as a party, but as a movement.

We need a coalition that mirrors the passion of the EndSARS movement, the coordination of June 12 and the unity of Nigeria’s 1993 electoral spirit. It must be loud. It must be brave. It must be ready to fight the political cabals who have held Nigeria hostage.

Revolutionary Unity: What We Must Do.
What Nigerians are demanding now is revolutionary joining; not a mere registration as members of the ADC, but total commitment to building a new nation. The revolution we need is not one of violence, but of votes. Not of slogans, but of strategy. Not of protests, but of power.

Every Nigerian must abandon the politics of stomach infrastructure and embrace the politics of posterity. Enough of collecting ₦2,000 to sell a future worth billions. Enough of dancing for thieving politicians. Enough of defending tribe and religion while the elite feast and the poor suffer.

In 2027, we must use the ballot to break the chains. But that won’t happen unless every patriotic Nigerian joins the ADC movement now, builds local cells, sensitizes their communities, organizes voter registration and forms watch-dog groups to protect votes and expose rigging.

As the late Chinua Achebe warned, “The trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership.” The greater tragedy is the failure of followership that continues to empower these failed leaders.

APC Must Be Removed by All Means Democratic.
Let us call a spade a spade: APC must be removed. Peacefully, democratically and constitutionally; but removed nonetheless. The party has proven itself incapable of delivering even the most basic dividends of democracy. Their reign has been a cocktail of deceit, propaganda and gross incompetence.

In Tinubu, Nigeria got not a messiah, but a merchant; one who flies from Saint Lucia to Saint Helena signing deals with foreign business partners while the country burns. This is no longer governance; it is betrayal at the highest level.

The ADC coalition must position itself not as opposition, but as the only sane alternative. It must champion policies that put Nigerians first; jobs for the youth, local refining of oil, a tech-driven economy, a decentralized police system, and total educational reform.

We Cannot Be Neutral
In times like these, neutrality is betrayal. Silence is complicity. Indifference is suicide. Every well-meaning Nigerian must rise now and fight for a future worth living in. The vehicle for that future can be the ADC coalition; if it remains people-driven, uncompromised and aggressive in the pursuit of justice and development.

As activist Aisha Yesufu put it, “If you think politics is dirty and stay away, you will be ruled by the dirty ones.” We can no longer afford to stay away. We must get involved, get dirty for the right reasons and clean up this country once and for all.

National Imperative: Join the Movement or Miss the Revolution
Let it be known that this is not just another political season. This is a season for national rebirth. Those who join now will be remembered as pioneers of a new Nigeria. Those who sit on the fence will be remembered as cowards.

This is a call to action. Join the ADC not because it is perfect, but because it is available. Build it into a weapon for the people. Use it to dismantle the rot. Use it to restore the dreams of millions. 2027 must be a revolution through the ballot box. The ADC coalition must be the people’s sword.

Don’t Vote Politicians, Parties That Failed To Fulfill 2023 Electoral Promises, NNPP Chieftain, Ajadi Charges Electorate

Johnson Akinpelu

A Chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, (NNPP) in the South West, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has charged the electorate not to vote any party or politician that failed to fulfill electoral promises in the build up to the 2023 election.
Ajadi in a statement on Sunday said that as the country is preparing for the 2027 general election, the electorate should review the various political parties’ promises and what they have done in the.last two years as a guide to their decision in 2027.
He said that during the 2023 general election campaigns, political parties and various candidates promised the electorate good life, but that what is happening in the country has shown that some politicians have made life unbearable for the people that voted them into power.
He said that the ruling All Progressive Congress, (APC) among others, promised better life for the people but that the reality is that the people have been turned to beggars and are living miserable life.
Ajadi said in the statement said, “As we are getting set for the 2027 general election, I urge the electorate to review the performances of the political parties and politicians, looking at how far they have fulfilled their promises before casting their votes in 2027.
“Political parties and politicians promised better life for Nigerians, but they have made them worse in the last two years.
“The ruling APC at the centre raised the hope of Nigerians through its Renewed Hope Agenda but people are living hopeless lives because of downfall of the economy.
“The party said the poor would be allowed to breathe but in the last two years, it has painfully suffocated the poor. They can no longer breathe. An average Nigerian is living hopeless life. Worker’s wages cannot sustain simple living.
The removal of subsidy without provision of alternative palliatives and relieve materials have made the petroleum products’ prices beyond the reach of an average Nigerian.
“The multiplier effects of rise in petroleum products’ prices have made Naira’ value to go down.
“It is a shame that Naira’ has fallen in value compare to CFA being used by neighbouring Francophone West Africa countries.
“The government must do something to improve the economy and raise the value of naira as against other currencies of the World.”
