“DWI Blows Whistle on Coalition Plot: ‘It’s Not About the People, It’s About Power!'”

A civil society group, the Democracy Watch Initiative (DWI), has issued a strong warning to Nigerians, raising the alarm over what it described as a “compromised coalition” led by tainted political figures attempting to reclaim power under the guise of reform.
In a statement signed by its Director of Strategic Communication, Dr. Tunji O. Bamidele, DWI urged Nigerians to resist what it called a resurgence of political opportunism and demand transparency and accountability from those seeking to lead.
The group described the newly formed coalition—led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and joined by figures such as David Mark, Abubakar Malami, Nasir El-Rufai, Peter Obi, Sule Lamido, and Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi—as a gathering of individuals whose public records raise serious questions about their credibility and intentions.
On Atiku Abubakar, DWI referenced unresolved allegations of corruption during his time in public service, particularly relating to the mismanagement of funds meant for the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). “Funds meant for vulnerable Nigerians were siphoned, betraying public trust and deepening hardship for countless citizens,” Bamidele stated.
On David Mark, the group pointed to alleged diversion of communication funds during the June 12 democratic struggle, saying this act suppressed democratic expression and disenfranchised millions.
Abubakar Malami, the former Attorney General, was condemned for overseeing human rights violations, including the controversial Twitter ban during the Buhari administration. “His tenure symbolized repression, not reform,” the statement read.
Nasir El-Rufai was accused of fanning the flames of sectarian violence and failing to protect lives during multiple crises in Kaduna State, including the crackdown on Shia Muslims and the unrest in Southern Kaduna.
Peter Obi, despite his reputation for fiscal discipline, was called out over allegations of facilitating trade for the Abacha regime, raising questions about his complicity in one of Nigeria’s most repressive eras.
Sule Lamido was labeled a betrayer of democracy for allegedly selling out MKO Abiola’s mandate during the June 12 struggle, while Rotimi Amaechi was blamed for abandoning Rivers State’s light rail project despite substantial public investment.
“These individuals represent the very failures Nigerians are trying to escape,” Bamidele said. “The push for reform cannot be entrusted to those who contributed to the dysfunction.”
DWI urged the public to reject political recycling and embrace a new consciousness rooted in justice, human rights, and good governance.
“The struggle for justice is not just political—it is moral. We must reject recycled leadership and demand accountability,” the statement added. “Nigerians must stand firm against political predators who seek to exploit our challenges for their own gain.”
The group concluded by calling for a peaceful, resolute movement focused on systemic reform, dignity, and equity for all citizens.

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.
Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.
“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.
He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”
Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.
He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.
“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.
In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.
“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
