12 Reps dump opposition for APC, ADC ahead of 2027 polls

Twelve members of the House of Representatives have defected from their parties to the ruling All Progressives Congress and the African Democratic Congress as political realignments intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections. The lawmakers, drawn from different geopolitical zones, formally notified the House of their decision in separate letters read during plenary by the Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas. Most of them cited prolonged internal crises, leadership tussles and irreconcilable differences in their former parties as reasons for dumping their platforms. Those who moved to the APC largely came from the Peoples Democratic Party, Labour Party, New Nigeria Peoples Party and other opposition parties that have been battling factional disputes since the last election cycle. Others chose the ADC, which has been positioning itself as a major opposition force and actively courting sitting lawmakers ahead of 2027. Analysts say the latest […]

Senate rejects fresh bid to amend 2026 Electoral Act

The Senate has rejected fresh calls to amend the 2026 Electoral Act, asking opposition leaders to channel their grievances through proper legislative procedures. Opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi, had demanded an immediate review of the new law, describing it as anti democratic and skewed in favour of the ruling party ahead of the 2027 elections. They argued that certain sections of the Act undermine electoral transparency and called for the removal of what they termed obnoxious provisions that could weaken the credibility of future polls. Responding, the Senate leadership dismissed the pressure for a hurried amendment and advised the opposition to submit specific proposals and work through the National Assembly’s established processes. Senate leaders maintained that the 2026 Electoral Act had followed due process, including passage by both chambers and assent by President Bola Tinubu, […]

INEC moves 2027 presidential, NASS polls to January 16

The Independent National Electoral Commission has approved a new timetable for the 2027 general elections, moving the presidential and National Assembly polls to Saturday, January 16, 2027.​ Previously, the elections were scheduled for February 20, 2027, with governorship and state House of Assembly elections fixed for March 6, 2027. The earlier dates drew criticism from sections of the public, especially some Muslim groups, who said the timetable clashed with the holy month of Ramadan.​ INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of the Information and Voter Education Committee, Mohammed Haruna, said in a statement that governorship and state Assembly elections will now hold on Saturday, February 6, 2027.​ He explained that the adjustment followed the repeal of the Electoral Act 2022 and the enactment of the Electoral Act 2026, which introduced new statutory timelines for pre election and election activities. INEC said […]

Tinubu to opposition: Elections not won on social media

President Bola Tinubu has told opposition figures and party supporters that elections are decided by voters in communities, not by debates on social media. He spoke through Vice President Kashim Shettima at the Progressive Governors’ Forum and Renewed Hope Ambassadors Strategic Summit in Abuja.​ Tinubu urged members of the All Progressives Congress to take government policies and messages directly to wards, markets, campuses and other grassroots areas. He said this face to face engagement is vital for countering misinformation and building trust ahead of the 2027 elections.​ The President also called for peace within the party in Benue State. He appealed to Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, to reconcile with Governor Hyacinth Alia so that APC leaders in the state can work together on security and development.​ Tinubu praised Akume’s long public service career and […]

Court sets March 24 ruling on suit to deregister ADC, Accord, others

A Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed March 24 for its ruling on a suit seeking to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission to deregister four political parties over alleged failure to meet constitutional requirements.​ The case, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2637/25, was filed by the Incorporated Trustees of the National Forum of Former Legislators, with INEC, the Attorney-General of the Federation, the African Democratic Congress, Accord Party, Zenith Labour Party and Action Alliance listed as defendants. Initially, only the ADC was mentioned, but the suit was later amended to include the other parties.​ The group argues that INEC is constitutionally required to deregister parties that do not attain minimum electoral performance, such as winning at least 25 per cent of votes in one state during a presidential election or securing any elective seat at federal, state or local government level. In […]

2027: Tinubu, Obi camps eye clash as Village Boys Movement launches

Supporters of President Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi are preparing for a fresh political battle ahead of the 2027 elections following the unveiling of the Village Boys Movement in Abuja. The new platform is designed as a grassroots civic movement and a direct response to the pro Tinubu City Boys structure.​ At the Abuja launch, conveners said the Village Boys Movement aims to mobilise voters in rural and semi urban communities who feel left out of elite driven politics. They stressed that the initiative is focused on good governance, accountability, economic inclusion and support for ordinary Nigerians.​ The group, largely made up of young professionals, activists and Obi supporters, declared that it will back candidates whose values align with integrity and people centred leadership. Although Peter Obi was repeatedly mentioned as an inspiration, organisers said the movement is open to […]

Reps in rowdy session over move to reopen Electoral Act amendment

The House of Representatives has descended into a rowdy session over a move to rescind its earlier decision on the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill 2025 and reopen it for fresh consideration. The controversial step came during an emergency sitting convened to address issues raised by the newly released 2027 election timetable from the Independent National Electoral Commission. Speaker Tajudeen Abbas presided over the sparsely attended plenary where the only item on the Order Paper was a motion to rescind the House’s approval of the amendment bill and recommit it to the Committee of the Whole. The motion was moved by the Chairman of the Rules and Business Committee, Francis Waive, who argued that some provisions had created inconsistencies and unintended consequences that could affect the 2027 polls. When the Speaker put the motion to voice vote, the loudest response appeared […]

Presidency: Amaechi misled Nigerians on new tax law

The Presidency has accused former Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi of misleading Nigerians with false claims about a new tax law that allegedly allows automatic deductions from bank accounts. In a statement, presidential aide Bayo Onanuga said Amaechi’s comments about “Tax Act No 25” and post 2027 enforcement were untrue and designed to create fear. Amaechi had claimed in a viral video that if the ruling All Progressives Congress remains in power after the 2027 elections, a tax policy would activate automatic debits on bank transfers and balances. He questioned why the law was not already in force, suggesting it was being delayed to avoid public backlash before the next polls. Onanuga dismissed these statements as “egregious lies”, insisting there is no provision in Nigeria’s new tax framework that authorises such automatic debits from citizens’ bank accounts. He alleged that […]

INEC fixes February 20, 2027 for presidential poll

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed February 20, 2027, for Nigeria’s presidential and National Assembly elections. The Commission said the date is in line with constitutional and Electoral Act provisions that require election notices to be issued at least 360 days before voting. INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, announced the timetable at a press briefing in Abuja, formally opening the process for the 2027 general elections. He explained that only INEC has the legal power to set election dates and urged politicians and the public to ignore unofficial timetables circulating in the media. Under the schedule, governorship and State Houses of Assembly elections will hold on March 6, 2027, two weeks after the presidential and National Assembly polls. The Commission said the early release of dates is to give political parties, candidates, civil society and security agencies enough […]

ACF warns of rising insecurity and poverty in North

The Arewa Consultative Forum has raised fresh alarm over worsening insecurity, deepening poverty and growing humanitarian crises across Northern Nigeria. Chairman Mamman Mike Osuman said terrorism, banditry and kidnapping are uprooting families and destroying livelihoods in many states.​ Speaking at the ACF’s 79th National Executive Council meeting in Kaduna, Osuman listed Kwara, Southern Kaduna, Katsina and Benue among areas facing rising attacks. He said repeated violence has forced people into overcrowded camps and informal settlements with poor access to food, healthcare and other basic services.​ Osuman warned that school closures, disrupted farming and restricted movement have further weakened rural economies. He noted that the situation has become so severe that external military support has been needed in some locations, underscoring the urgency for coordinated action.​ He challenged ACF members not to remain ceremonial or rhetorical but to be principled, sincere […]
