Primary Elections: Nigerians Now Know You’re Liars, Wike Blasts ADC, NDC

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) and former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike, has lambasted the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), saying the outcome of their recent presidential primaries has exposed them as “liars” who have been deceiving Nigerians. Speaking in Abuja while reacting to the crisis and protests that trailed the opposition parties’ primaries, Wike said the ADC and NDC had presented themselves as messiahs and claimed they would conduct transparent, data-driven internal elections, only to be engulfed in allegations of manipulation at their first major test. “As small as the NDC is, it cannot hold its primary election without protests,” Wike said, mocking the party for failing to manage its internal processes. He added: “Nigerians now know that you are all liars,” insisting that the crisis showed the parties were no different […]

2027: Wike Bars Unrecognised Party Factions From Abuja Event Centres, Hotels

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reportedly warned that unrecognised or court-disputed factions of political parties will not be allowed to use Abuja event centres and hotels for conventions or political gatherings ahead of the 2027 elections. The move comes amid ongoing controversy over the African Democratic Congress (ADC) convention venue saga, in which party officials alleged that the proprietor of Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja cancelled their fully paid booking after coming under pressure from the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) and the FCT Minister. The ADC claimed the venue owner was threatened with licence revocation if he allowed the convention to proceed at the facility. Wike has repeatedly denied these allegations, insisting that no formal application was submitted to use major public venues such as Eagle Square or the Moshood Abiola National Stadium. He […]

Primaries: APC Reps fight back after ticket losses

A number of All Progressives Congress (APC) members of the House of Representatives who lost their return tickets in the just‑concluded primaries are fighting back through legal challenges and internal party pressure. At least 26 incumbent lawmakers are at the centre of the brewing crisis, accusing party leaders and primary election officials of manipulation, imposition and disenfranchisement. Some aggrieved Reps have petitioned the APC national leadership and primary appeals panels, demanding the cancellation or review of results in their constituencies. They allege irregularities such as last‑minute changes to delegates’ lists, vote‑buying, intimidation of voters and the imposition of consensus candidates without proper consultation. Others are turning to the courts, filing suits to challenge the conduct of primaries or to seek recognition as the authentic candidates. However, analysts note that the amended Electoral Act now prevents aspirants who lost party primaries […]

Tambuwal: ADC structure not built for Atiku, defends coalition exits

Former Sokoto State governor and Sokoto South senator, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has said the African Democratic Congress (ADC) is not a party whose structure was built for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar or any single politician. Speaking on a Channels Television programme, he dismissed claims that the ADC had been hijacked to serve Atiku’s presidential ambition ahead of 2027. Tambuwal explained that the ADC’s ongoing coalition arrangements were designed as a broader platform for opposition forces, not a personal vehicle for Atiku. He insisted that decisions within the party are taken collectively by its organs and leaders, including chairman David Mark and other stakeholders, rather than being dictated by one individual. Reacting to the exit of key figures like Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso from the coalition, Tambuwal said their decisions were “personal choices” and not evidence of a crisis […]

Fierce lobbying, tension as APC primaries begin

Intense lobbying and growing tension have greeted the All Progressives Congress’ nationwide primaries as the ruling party begins the process of selecting its candidates ahead of the 2027 general elections. The primaries, which kicked off with House of Representatives contests, have already exposed fresh cracks in several state chapters. In many states, aspirants and their supporters are said to be locked in last-minute meetings with governors, ministers and other power brokers in a bid to secure party tickets. Reports indicate that hotel lobbies in Abuja and major state capitals are now packed with politicians seeking endorsements, funding and favourable word from key stakeholders. Consensus talks reportedly collapsed in a number of states on Thursday night after rival camps rejected attempts by party leaders to impose “unity candidates”. In some areas, aggrieved aspirants have threatened legal action or defection if they […]

Tambuwal steps down from Senate race, backs ex-commissioner

Former Governor of Sokoto State, Senator Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, has stepped down from the 2027 Sokoto South Senatorial race. The ex-speaker confirmed he would no longer seek re-election to the Senate, despite earlier indications that he would be on the ballot. Tambuwal, who recently resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party and aligned with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has instead thrown his weight behind former commissioner Aminu Bala Bodinga. Bodinga, a long-time ally, served in Tambuwal’s cabinet during his time as governor and is now being positioned as his preferred successor for the Sokoto South seat. In a message shared by his media team, Tambuwal said his decision followed wide consultations with political associates and constituents. He explained that he chose to step aside to allow “fresh energy” to emerge, while still offering guidance and support from behind the scenes. […]

States’ capital spending plunges 58% as 2027 politics intensifies

Capital expenditure by 26 state governments across Nigeria plunged by about ₦2.19tn within just three months in the first quarter of 2026, as political activities ahead of the 2027 elections intensify. An analysis of their quarterly financial reports shows that total capital spending fell by 58.1%, from ₦3.79tn in Q4 2025 to ₦1.59tn in Q1 2026. The figures, drawn from budget implementation and performance reports published on state government websites, indicate a broad slowdown in infrastructure and development projects.

INEC deadline: Opposition parties rush to submit membership registers

Opposition political parties across Nigeria have embarked on a last minute rush to meet the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) deadline for submitting their membership registers ahead of the 2027 general elections. INEC had extended the final date for the exercise to May 10, 2026, following earlier complaints from parties that the initial window was too tight. Under Section 77(4) of the 2026 Electoral Act, every registered political party is required to submit its membership register to INEC not later than 21 days before the conduct of its primaries. The commission has repeatedly stressed that only members whose names appear in the submitted registers will be eligible to vote or be voted for during party primaries. In the last 48 hours leading up to the deadline, national secretariats of several opposition parties have been busy collating and uploading names from […]
