Jack the Builder Lays Bricks on Morris Monye's Campaign — Obidient Movement's Great "Free & Fair" Meltdown
Jack "The Builder" Ng01 publicly accuses Morris Monye of paying twice for his ADC State House of Assembly ticket, igniting a full-blown war inside the Obidient camp and raising fresh questions about cash-and-carry politics.

In what can only be described as the most entertaining episode of Nigerian Political Housewives since the last coalition drama, two former Obidient heavyweights have gone full WWE inside the ADC arena.
Jack "The Builder" Ng01 has publicly accused Morris "I Paid Nothing" Monye of secretly paying money — not once, but twice — for his State House of Assembly aspiration ticket. Morris, with the confidence of a man who just discovered free WiFi in the village, had tweeted:
"I am an aspirant. No one told me to pay anything. The process is very free and fair."

But Jack wasn't having it. Like a contractor catching a client dodging the final balance, he fired back:
"Stop lying Oga! Don't allow me mention the amount you paid... you paid twice. So you know that I know. Better delete your tweet before it escalates. Better face your campaign!"

The internet instantly exploded. Former Obidient allies are now choosing sides faster than Nigerians switch SIM cards during network issues.
The Sides Are Drawn
Team Jack says: "Finally! Somebody is exposing the cash-and-carry politics!" Team Morris fires back: "Jack is bitter! Leave the man alone!" And Team Neutral — the most sensible faction — has simply noted: "Atiku is somewhere laughing at all of una in 4K."
The Backstory Nobody Asked For But We're Still Giving
Morris Monye, once a frontline mobilizer in the Obidient Movement, dramatically exited the structure last year complaining about "no structure" and "no funding." Now he has resurfaced inside ADC pursuing a State House of Assembly ambition — proving once again that Nigerian politics has better catering services than activism.
Jack the Builder, meanwhile, has evolved into Nigerian politics' unofficial auditor-general: the man who allegedly arrives with receipts while everybody else arrives with motivational quotes. Now the two are locked in the ultimate Nigerian political showdown: "HE SAID, SHE PAID."
"If Jack drops evidence, this movie enters Season 2. If not, everybody go move to another scandal by Friday."

Fallout in the Obidient Camp
The once-united Obidient family that shook Nigeria in 2023 with hashtags, hope, and online crusades now resembles a family WhatsApp group after one uncle demanded repayment of contribution money. Sources close to the movement say the real issue goes deeper: betrayal, failed alliances, coalition confusion, and the eternal Nigerian political question — "WHO DEY FUND WHO?"
At press time: Morris had not deleted the tweet. Jack had not released the alleged receipts. Nigerians continue watching the drama like a Champions League final.
In the immortal words of one concerned X user: "We no dey pay shishi… except when we dey pay twice."
Stay tuned. In Nigerian politics, the only thing freer and fairer than the process… is the drama.
