El-Rufai’s son dumps APC as three other Reps defect to new parties

Fresh defections have hit the House of Representatives as Bello El Rufai, son of former Kaduna State governor Nasir El Rufai, and three other lawmakers dumped their parties for new platforms. The moves come amid intensifying political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections. Bello El Rufai, who represents Kaduna North Federal Constituency, formally resigned from the ruling All Progressives Congress and defected to the African Democratic Congress. His letter of defection was read by Speaker Tajudeen Abbas during Thursday’s plenary session. Two other lawmakers from Kaduna State, Suleiman Yahaya Richifa and Umar Ajilo, also left the Peoples Democratic Party to join the ADC. Both had been elected on the PDP platform but cited internal crises and loss of confidence in the party’s leadership as reasons for their defection. In a related development, Kamilu Ado (also reported as Abdulhakeem Kamilu […]

PDP crisis: Wike accuses Turaki, others of flouting court rulings

The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and influential Peoples Democratic Party leader, Nyesom Wike, has accused Kabiru Tanimu Turaki and his allies of disregarding clear court rulings in the ongoing PDP leadership crisis. He said the faction has continued to act in open defiance of binding judgments on the party’s disputed convention and national executive. Wike insisted that a series of court decisions, including those of the Federal High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court, have already settled the questions around the legality of the PDP convention held in Ibadan and the leadership it produced. He accused the Turaki camp of twisting and misrepresenting the judgments to confuse party members and the public. According to him, the Court of Appeal ruling delivered on March 9 upheld an earlier Federal High Court decision that the processes leading to the […]

Akpabio says ADC is dead amid fresh National Assembly defections

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has declared that the African Democratic Congress is “dead” following a fresh wave of defections by its lawmakers in the National Assembly. He made the remark during plenary while reading letters from senators and members of the House of Representatives who announced their exit from the party. Akpabio’s comment came shortly after he read the resignation letter of Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, who defected from the ADC to the Labour Party. As more defection letters were tabled, the Senate President joked that lawmakers leaving the ADC should “just compile everything in one paper” because, in his view, “ADC is dead.” Abaribe, who represents Abia South, said in his letter that his decision was driven by “ongoing legal uncertainties, multiple court cases and leadership crises” within the ADC. He described remaining in the party under such conditions as […]

BREAKING: 18 Reps dump ADC, defect to NDC and APC

Eighteen members of the House of Representatives who were elected on the platform of the African Democratic Congress have resigned from the party, with 17 of them defecting to the Nigeria Democratic Congress and one crossing over to the All Progressives Congress. The mass exit marks a fresh blow to the ADC as opposition realignments intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to notices read on the floor of the House, the lawmakers cited internal crises, leadership tussles and alleged hijack of the party structure as reasons for leaving the ADC. Many of them had previously aligned with the Obi Kwankwaso bloc that recently dumped the ADC for the NDC. Of the 18 departing lawmakers, 17 are heading to the NDC, which is rapidly emerging as a new rallying point for opposition forces. One lawmaker has opted to join […]

Former Anambra State governor Peter Obi and former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso have formally joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Speaking at the event, Kwankwaso said their decision to join the NDC was based on shared ideology and a common vision for rebuilding Nigeria.

Adelabu denies disrespecting Olubadan, calls claim malicious

Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu has denied claims that he disrespected the Olubadan of Ibadanland, describing the allegation as false, malicious and aimed at damaging his reputation. He said at no point during his recent address in Ibadan did he insult, abuse or show any form of disrespect to the revered traditional institution. Adelabu explained that his remarks at the event were misrepresented and taken out of context by political opponents and mischief makers. According to him, those behind the allegation are using the issue to stir unnecessary tension and create a rift between him and the Olubadan ahead of the 2027 political season. The minister stressed that he has a long standing family and personal relationship with the Olubadan and the Ibadan traditional council. He recalled that his family has always held the Olubadan stool in high esteem and […]

Obi, Kwankwaso set to dump ADC for NDC

Former presidential candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso are set to leave the African Democratic Congress and join the Nigeria Democratic Congress as opposition realignment gathers pace ahead of the 2027 elections. Key figures in the Kwankwasiyya movement say talks with NDC leaders are now at an advanced stage, with only minor details left to be resolved. According to leaders of the Obi Kwankwaso alliance, often called the OK Movement, the decision follows growing uncertainty over the legal and leadership situation in the ADC. They fear that ongoing court cases and internal disputes could weaken the party’s ability to serve as a stable platform for a broad opposition coalition. A prominent Kwankwasiyya chieftain, Saifullahi Mohammed, disclosed that stakeholders from all 44 local government areas of Kano State met at Kwankwaso’s residence and unanimously endorsed the move to the NDC.

Supreme Court judgment: Rivers ADC shifts focus to winning 2027 polls

The Rivers State chapter of the African Democratic Congress says it is now fully focused on winning the 2027 general elections after a Supreme Court judgment restored the party’s David Mark led national leadership. The ruling set aside an earlier Court of Appeal order that had asked all factions to maintain the status quo in the party’s leadership crisis. Rivers ADC chairman elect Dr Chukwudi Dimkpa described the Supreme Court decision as a welcome development and a major relief for members. He said the verdict provides a clear and lawful pathway for the party to organise itself and prepare for the next polls. The apex court held that the Court of Appeal acted outside its jurisdiction when it issued fresh directives after already dismissing the appeal before it. Justices of the Supreme Court called the status quo order unnecessary, unwarranted […]

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 […]
