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, […]

Senate passes Electoral Act bill, drops plan for mandatory e‑result transmission

The Senate has passed the Electoral Act Amendment Bill 2026 but declined to make electronic transmission of election results mandatory for the 2027 polls.​ Lawmakers rejected a proposed change to Clause 60 (3), which would have required presiding officers of the Independent National Electoral Commission to transmit polling unit results to the IReV portal in real time after completing Form EC8A. Instead, they retained the existing 2022 provision that results should be transferred “in a manner as prescribed by the Commission.”​ Senate President Godswill Akpabio insisted the chamber did not remove electronic transmission from the law. He said the Senate only chose to keep the wording already in the 2022 Act, which INEC used in the last general elections.​ The Senate also rejected a proposal to increase the penalty for buying or selling Permanent Voter Cards from two years to […]

Tinubu broke education pact, abandoned Nigerian students abroad, Atiku alleges

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of breaching Nigeria’s bilateral education agreements and abandoning more than 1,600 scholarship students overseas. He described the situation of the affected scholars as a national disgrace, alleging that many are facing hunger, eviction and severe hardship in their host countries.​ In a statement shared on his social media pages, Atiku claimed that students under the Bilateral Education Agreement scheme have gone months without receiving their stipends. He said monthly allowances were first cut by over half and then stopped altogether in 2025, leaving each student reportedly owed thousands of dollars in arrears.​ The BEA programme, launched in the 1990s, is based on education pacts with countries such as Russia, China, Morocco and Hungary. Atiku argued that failing to honour these obligations not only endangers students’ welfare but also damages […]

Atiku has been contesting presidency since my NYSC days, says Baba Ahmed

Labour Party’s 2023 vice presidential candidate, Dr Yusuf Datti Baba Ahmed, says he is shocked that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is still seeking the presidency in 2027. He recalled that Atiku has been pursuing the nation’s top job since his own National Youth Service Corps days and has already contested several times without success.​ Speaking on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief, Baba Ahmed argued that Nigeria urgently needs a new generation of leaders. He said many capable Nigerians are ready to address the country’s problems but are discouraged by an expensive, difficult political system dominated by godfathers and broken promises.​ He stressed that his comments were not a declaration for the 2027 presidential race. Baba Ahmed explained that he only reaffirmed his membership of the Labour Party and did not announce any ambition, adding that future decisions will depend […]

Atiku won’t step down for Obi in 2027, says Dele Momodu

Dele Momodu has dismissed speculation that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar will step aside for Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential race.​He said Atiku has no reason to drop his ambition and will not withdraw in favour of Obi or any other contender.​ Atiku, the PDP’s 2023 presidential candidate, joined the African Democratic Congress in November 2025 in what is seen as a move to secure the party’s 2027 presidential ticket.​Obi, who finished third in 2023, also defected from the Labour Party to the ADC last week, fuelling talk of an opposition alliance against President Bola Tinubu.​ There have been rumours of a deal in which Atiku would back Obi for a single four year term, after which power would be handed back to him in 2031.​Momodu rejected this, insisting there is no such agreement and stressing that Atiku remains […]

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has ordered security chiefs to hunt down terrorists who killed and abducted civilians during coordinated attacks on communities and a market in Niger State.

NBA, Atiku demand suspension of ‘altered’ tax laws

The Nigerian Bar Association and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar have called for the immediate suspension of implementation of Nigeria’s new tax reform laws over alleged alterations in the gazetted version. They raised alarm that sections of the laws appear different from what was debated and passed by the National Assembly, describing the situation as a grave constitutional breach.​ Atiku, in a detailed statement, described the alleged post passage changes as a “brazen act of treason” and “direct assault” on Nigeria’s constitutional democracy. He warned that inserting new coercive powers for tax authorities after legislative approval undermines the principle that only parliament can make or amend laws.​ The former vice president listed provisions he considers unconstitutional, including powers for tax officials to arrest, seize property and conduct enforcement sales without court orders. He argued that these turn tax collectors into […]

Presidency rejects claim of secret tax law changes

The Presidency has rejected allegations that it secretly altered provisions of Nigeria’s new tax reform laws, insisting that no changes were made outside the proper legal and legislative process. The denial comes as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate Peter Obi, opposition parties and several civil society groups demand a halt to implementation and a thorough investigation.​ President Bola Tinubu signed four tax reform bills into law, which together form what the government calls the most far reaching overhaul of Nigeria’s tax system in decades. The new framework, anchored on the Nigeria Revenue Service, includes the Nigeria Tax Act, the Nigeria Tax Administration Act, the Nigeria Revenue Service Establishment Act and the Joint Revenue Board Establishment Act.​ According to the Federal Government, the reforms aim to simplify compliance, broaden the tax base, remove overlapping taxes and […]
