2027 presidency: Jonathan’s declaration sparks stir

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has stirred the 2027 presidential race after declaring that he will “consult widely” before deciding whether to return to contest, a statement that has sparked intense reactions across Nigeria’s political landscape.

2027: Odds favour Obi, Kwankwaso as NDC zones presidency to South

The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has formally zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to Southern Nigeria and the vice‑presidential slot to the North, a move widely seen as boosting the chances of Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso emerging as the party’s leading ticket. Delegates at the party’s maiden national convention in Abuja adopted a resolution restricting the presidential ticket to the South for a single four year term, after which power would rotate to the North in 2031. The zoning motion, moved by Afam Victor Ogene, member representing Ogbaru Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, was unanimously endorsed by delegates. Party leaders said the arrangement was designed to promote fairness, balance and internal stability while addressing long running agitations over power rotation between regions. Former Kano State governor Rabiu Kwankwaso publicly backed the decision, telling delegates that zoning the […]

Probe alleged ₦26.9bn USPF scandal, SERAP tells Tinubu

The Socio Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has called on President Bola Tinubu to order a thorough investigation into an alleged ₦26.9bn scandal involving the Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF). The group wants the President to direct the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy and other relevant authorities to explain how the funds allocated to the USPF have been managed over the years. In a letter similar to its recent petition on alleged missing ₦2.9bn in NIGCOMSAT and the Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Authority, SERAP argued that the reported mismanagement in the USPF points to systemic weaknesses in oversight of key public institutions in the communications sector. The organisation cited past Auditor General reports and media investigations which raised red flags about possible diversion, unauthorised investments and opaque spending patterns around funds meant to expand telecoms access to rural, […]

Dickson, Obi, Kwankwaso arrive NDC convention

National leader of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Senator Seriake Dickson, has arrived at the party’s inaugural national convention in Abuja alongside former presidential candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. Their presence at the event signals a major step in the consolidation of a new opposition platform ahead of the 2027 general elections. Obi, the 2023 Labour Party standard bearer, and Kwankwaso, who contested under the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), recently exited the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and are now key figures in the emerging NDC coalition. The duo had earlier held a closed door strategy meeting with Dickson in Abuja, where they discussed ideology, governance blueprint and shared priorities such as education, youth empowerment, security and national unity.

FG orders emergency repairs on Bida–Lambata road

The Federal Government has ordered emergency repairs on the dilapidated Bida–Lambata road in Niger State, following sustained complaints from motorists, transporters and residents over persistent gridlock and accidents on the route.

The directive was issued after a stakeholders’ meeting with the National Association of Road Transport Owners and other transport unions, where government officials received fresh reports of stranded vehicles and long queues along the axis.
