More criticism trails Makinde over Wetie comment

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde is facing growing criticism over his recent reference to Operation Wetie, a violent episode in the political history of the old Western Region.​The governor reportedly used the expression during a political gathering in Ibadan at the weekend, a remark that many now see as irresponsible and dangerous.​ Opposition figures, civil society groups and concerned citizens have condemned the statement, warning that such language could encourage political thuggery and undermine peace in the state.​They argue that referencing a period associated with arson, killings and severe unrest sends the wrong signal ahead of the 2027 election cycle. Some critics insist that leaders must promote calm and constructive engagement instead of inflammatory rhetoric.​They stress that Oyo State has enjoyed relative stability in recent years and should not return to a climate of fear or politically motivated attacks.​ Political […]

Baba Ahmed says Tinubu is disconnected from Nigerians’ hardship

Hakeem Baba Ahmed, former Special Adviser on political matters to Vice President Kashim Shettima, says President Bola Tinubu is disconnected from the hardship many Nigerians are facing.​ Speaking on The Morning Show, he faulted Tinubu’s recent remarks suggesting that those who do not see progress under his administration are biased or unable to recognise development. The president had joked that critics who cannot see hope in his policies may need “jigi bola” eyeglasses.​ Baba Ahmed said such comments raise serious questions about how aware the government is of current economic and security realities. He argued that no leader living in Nigeria and seeing the level of poverty and lack of accountability should expect citizens to applaud their performance.​ The national chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party insisted that the administration’s reforms have not translated into better living conditions. According to […]

Yul Edochie faults attacks on Igbo supporters of Tinubu

Actor Yul Edochie has condemned the way some people single out Igbo supporters of President Bola Tinubu for criticism ahead of the 2027 general election.​ In a post on X, he said he is worried that fellow Igbos who back Tinubu are often harshly attacked online, while supporters of the president from other regions do not face the same level of backlash. He urged critics to be fair and consistent in their political engagement.​ Edochie questioned why those who insult Igbos that support Tinubu do not also openly challenge supporters from the North or the South West or past leaders who failed to fix the country. He argued that this selective outrage shows a lack of courage and balance.​ He warned that political differences should not be allowed to create deep divisions within the Igbo community. Instead, he called for […]

Former Kano governor Shekarau quits PDP amid APC move

Former Kano State governor Ibrahim Shekarau has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party, in a move widely seen as paving the way for his return to the ruling All Progressives Congress.​ His decision followed days of consultations with members of his Shura committee, his core political support group. In a formal letter dated April 19 and addressed to the PDP chairman of Giginyu Ward in Nassarawa Local Government Area of Kano State, Shekarau notified the party of his exit, with copies sent to the Kano State PDP chairman and the Nassarawa LGA chairman.​ “Accept this letter please as notice of my resignation from my position as a member of the Peoples Democratic Party with effect from today,” he wrote, adding that the decision came after wide and extensive deliberations within his political group on pursuing their ambitions in another party.​ […]

Aregbesola’s old tweet about Tinubu’s leadership resurfaces after ‘govt of scammers’ comment

An old social media post by former Osun State governor Rauf Aregbesola praising President Bola Tinubu’s leadership has resurfaced online following his recent description of the current administration as a “government of scammers.” The 2017 tweet, now widely shared on X, showed Aregbesola crediting Tinubu for shaping his political career, saying: “Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s leadership and the opportunity to work with him to take Lagos forward was a huge factor in making me who I am today.” The renewed attention came after Aregbesola, now national secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), criticised the Tinubu administration while addressing delegates at the party’s national convention. Speaking at the event, he attacked the “Renewed Hope” agenda and urged Nigerians to stop the ruling party from retaining power in 2027. “Four years ago, this government promised Nigerians renewed hope for a better […]

ADC crisis deepens as David Mark‑led NWC, state chairmen clash over party control

The leadership crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress has worsened as a bloc of state chairmen has openly clashed with the David Mark‑led National Working Committee over control of the party. The 25 chairmen, who say they constitute the core of the party’s National Executive Committee, announced in Abuja that they have collectively assumed interim leadership of the ADC. Their move follows the Independent National Electoral Commission’s decision to delist Mark and National Secretary Rauf Aregbesola from its records and to stop recognising any of the contending factions pending a court ruling. INEC’s action, based on a Court of Appeal judgment in the leadership dispute between Mark and Nafiu Bala Gombe, effectively left the party without an officially recognised national chairman. Led by Abia chairman Don Norman Obinna, the state chairmen rejected both the Mark coalition and the Gombe camp, […]

ADC NEC takes over party administration, appoints interim leadership

The National Executive Council of the African Democratic Congress has announced that it is taking over the administration of the party and putting in place an interim leadership structure. The move follows a prolonged leadership tussle and multiple court cases over who legally controls the ADC ahead of the 2027 elections. At an emergency NEC meeting in Abuja, key stakeholders resolved to sideline the warring factions and mandated a caretaker team to manage the party’s affairs until a national convention is held. Leaders aligned with former interim chairman David Mark and other elders said the step became necessary to stabilise the party and restore confidence among members and aspirants. The interim leadership has been tasked with organising a credible national convention, reconciling aggrieved blocs and ensuring strict adherence to the party’s constitution and the Electoral Act. NEC members also warned […]

2027: Tinubu’s ex‑ministers to face stiff battles in home states

Fresh political permutations ahead of the 2027 general elections are pitching some of President Bola Tinubu’s former ministers against powerful forces in their home states. Vanguard reports that at least four ex‑ministers nursing governorship or senatorial ambitions are expected to resign and immediately confront entrenched party structures and sitting governors. The affected states include Kano Abia Bauchi Gombe Kebbi and Adamawa where local dynamics and existing rivalries could complicate their paths to party tickets. In several of these states, incumbent governors and influential bloc leaders are said to be uncomfortable with the growing profiles of the former federal appointees. According to the report, some state party leaders fear that a direct entry of ex‑ministers into the 2027 race could upset delicate zoning arrangements and existing succession understandings. This has raised the prospect of silent feuds between the presidency’s allies and […]

Gov Yusuf boasts: ‘I’ll do second term in APC, not NNPP’

Kano State governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has declared that he plans to seek a second term in office on the platform of the All Progressives Congress rather than the New Nigeria Peoples Party. Yusuf recently defected from NNPP to APC after a prolonged political rift with his former ally, Rabiu Kwankwaso. Reacting to a viral slogan and taunt that he would serve just “falle daya” (one term), Yusuf said the chant was only correct in relation to his stay in NNPP. “It is one term in NNPP, but we will do the second term in APC,” he said in Hausa, drawing cheers from his supporters. The governor insisted that no opposition party, including the African Democratic Congress, would be able to take Kano from him and the APC in the 2027 elections. He dismissed ADC’s chances, saying the party would […]

IPAC urges INEC to be cautious on ADC crisis, voter plan

The Inter Party Advisory Council has urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to act with caution in handling the leadership crisis in the African Democratic Congress and its proposed nationwide voter revalidation exercise. IPAC said recent steps taken by the commission risk deepening tension and raising doubts about its neutrality ahead of the 2027 elections. IPAC expressed concern over INEC’s decision to freeze recognition of the Senator David Mark led National Working Committee of the ADC while court cases on the party’s leadership are still pending. It noted that even where internal leadership is being contested, this does not mean there is a vacuum, and warned that removing names of party leaders from INEC’s portal at this stage appears premature. The council warned that such actions could set a troubling precedent and create avoidable instability in the party system if […]
