2027: Atiku Inept, Incompetent, Says Babachir Lawal

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, has launched a scathing attack on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 presidential election, describing him as “inept” and “incompetent” and unfit to occupy the nation’s highest office. Lawal, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and a key figure in opposition coalition talks, announced his decision to quit the party, declaring that he would not be part of what he called Atiku’s “rigging machine” as the former vice president positions himself for another presidential run in 2027. In a strongly worded statement shared on social media, Lawal alleged that Atiku is “incompetent, tribal and a religious bigot” who should not be allowed near the presidential office. He warned that Nigeria would be “perpetually doomed” if leaders he described as “ineptocrats” like Atiku are repeatedly […]

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 […]

2027 Presidency: Controversies Trail ADC Primaries, Court Clears Jonathan

Controversies have trailed the presidential primaries of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) as former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike jostle for the party’s ticket ahead of the 2027 general election. The heightened tension within the ADC followed the Federal High Court judgment delivered on Tuesday in Abuja, which cleared former President Goodluck Jonathan to contest the 2027 presidential election. Justice Peter Lifu dismissed a suit filed by Abuja-based lawyer Johnmary Jideobi seeking to bar Jonathan from running, ruling that the former president remains eligible under the 1999 Constitution as amended. Justice Lifu held that Section 137(3) of the Constitution, which restricts any person from taking the oath of office of president more than twice, could not be applied retroactively to Jonathan, who completed the tenure of the late […]

Amaechi I Didn’t Buy Form To Be Atiku’s Running Mate

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has dismissed claims that he is planning to be Atiku Abubakar’s running mate in the 2027 presidential election. Amaechi said he did not buy the African Democratic Congress presidential nomination form to become a vice presidential candidate. He stressed that his focus is on securing his party’s presidential ticket and running for president, not serving under anyone. He described suggestions that he might accept a vice presidential slot alongside Atiku as false and against his political plans. Through his media team, Amaechi insisted that he is not in any talks to be a running mate and will not be part of such discussions. According to him, politicians and commentators should stop linking his name to any vice presidential arrangement. He added that his ambition is to contest for the highest office in the country […]

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 […]

Obi, Kwankwaso switch parties ahead of Nigeria poll

Two major opposition figures in Nigeria have switched political parties in a significant realignment ahead of next year’s presidential election. Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso, who placed third and fourth respectively in the 2023 election, have both joined the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). Their move has raised the possibility of a joint ticket to challenge President Bola Tinubu. The two politicians were previously members of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), alongside former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who finished second in the last presidential race. While some observers view the latest shift as a sign of fragmentation within the opposition, supporters argue it could create a more focused political platform. Both Obi and Kwankwaso are former state governors with strong grassroots networks. Obi enjoys significant backing among younger voters, particularly in southern Nigeria, while Kwankwaso retains considerable influence in the north through […]

2027 polls: Supreme Court to decide PDP, ADC fate today

The Supreme Court will today deliver key judgments that will decide the fate of the Peoples Democratic Party and the African Democratic Congress ahead of the 2027 general elections. The apex court is set to rule on four appeals linked to leadership crises tearing through the two opposition parties. In the case of the PDP, the appeals centre on the validity of the party’s national convention held in Ibadan, Oyo State, on November 15 and 16, 2025. A faction led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is asking the court to uphold the convention and its decisions, while rival groups insist due process was not followed. Previous rulings from lower courts faulted the PDP for obtaining conflicting orders from courts of equal rank over its internal dispute. One Court of Appeal decision described the party’s actions as an abuse of […]

Tinubu says he took over from himself after Buhari

President Bola Tinubu has said he does not dwell on the state of the economy he met in office because he believes he simply took over from himself when he succeeded the late former President Muhammadu Buhari.​ Tinubu made the comment while hosting the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, a group created to explain his government’s agenda and reforms across the country. He described Buhari as his partner and argued that taking over from him was like taking over from himself.​ He told the group that leadership is a difficult journey but urged them to remain committed to renewing citizens’ hope. Tinubu said that if something in government is wrong, the task is to live with it, fix it and move on instead of complaining.​ The president promised his supporters that he would not abandon them. He said their role is to […]

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 […]

Airstrike kills terrorists at Jilli market amid civilian casualty fears

An airstrike on Jilli market, a boundary community between Borno and Yobe states, has killed many suspected terrorists but also raised fears of heavy civilian casualties. The Nigerian Air Force confirmed that its Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai carried out precision follow up strikes on Saturday evening against what it described as a terrorist logistics hub in the Jilli axis. Military authorities said the operation followed sustained intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance over the Bindul Jilli corridor, a known route for Islamic State West Africa Province fighters using gun trucks and motorcycles. According to the Joint Task Force, the airstrike neutralised scores of insurgents and destroyed their vehicles and supplies, disrupting planned attacks on troops in the area. However, local accounts suggest that a busy market frequented by traders was hit during the operation, with many civilians feared dead and […]
