Atiku Confirms 2027 Presidential Bid, Vows to Rescue Nigeria

Former Vice President and 2023 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has officially declared his intention to contest for Nigeria’s presidency in 2027. Atiku made this known through his long-time associate and spokesperson, Tunde Olusunle, reaffirming his commitment to what he described as the urgent task of “rescuing Nigeria from decline.” His statement followed speculation that he might withdraw from future contests after comments credited to Prof. Ola Olateju of Achievers University suggested he had shifted focus from presidential ambition to broader national development. Atiku dismissed the claim, clarifying from his UAE residence that Olateju did not speak on his behalf. “I will run in 2027. Nigeria must be rescued from the intensive care unit where it has been placed. The poverty, pain, and anguish across the country are unacceptable,” he declared. The former vice president accused the […]

Pastor Adefarasin: Nigeria’s Creation Was Driven by Colonial Interests, Not Divine Will

Senior Pastor of House on the Rock, Paul Adefarasin, has sparked debate after stating that Nigeria’s foundation was not divinely ordained but instead shaped by British colonial ambitions for economic gain. Speaking during a Sunday sermon, Adefarasin argued that the country’s creation stemmed from colonial power struggles rather than God’s plan. He referenced historical accounts, suggesting that Britain’s interests, not divine purpose, determined Nigeria’s formation. He further dismissed the popular belief that nationalists such as Obafemi Awolowo, Tafawa Balewa, Ahmadu Bello, and Nnamdi Azikiwe were the nation’s true founding fathers. Instead, he attributed the country’s name and structure to British officials, including Lord Lugard and his partner. According to him, Nigeria was established primarily to serve Britain’s financial interests, with its resources used to subsidize less prosperous regions under colonial rule. The cleric’s remarks have since generated wide reactions, with […]

Nigeria’s senior men’s basketball team, D’Tigers, will arrive in the country today (Monday) after wrapping up their campaign at the 31st FIBA AfroBasket tournament in Angola, held from August 12–24. The team, led by coach Mohammed Abdulrahman, exited the competition last Wednesday following a 91-75 loss to Senegal in the quarter-finals. Despite the early exit, the squad remained in Angola until today, as their return tickets were scheduled for August 25.

D’Tigers’ AfroBasket run included topping Group B with victories over Madagascar, Tunisia, and Cameroon, before bowing out against Senegal. Key performers for Nigeria included Caleb Agada, Josh Okogie, Stan Okoye, […]

Electoral Reform: CSOs Urge Removal of President’s Power to Appoint INEC Chair

With the tenure of INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmoud Yakubu nearing its end, civil society organisations (CSOs) are calling for constitutional reforms that would strip the president of the authority to appoint the electoral body’s chairman. The demand was made during a sensitisation workshop in Awka, Anambra State, organised by Yiaga Africa ahead of the November governorship election. Yiaga Africa’s programme manager, Cynthia Mbamalu, said the engagement aimed to identify flaws that could undermine the credibility of the polls. At the workshop, participants argued that allowing the president to appoint the INEC chairman creates room for political interference in elections. Instead, they proposed a new commission comprising representatives of professional groups such as the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Nigeria Society of Engineers (NSE), and CSOs.
