Is Nigeria Cursed, or Are We the Curse? — Obi Laments Over Insecurity

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has decried the country’s worsening insecurity in a heartfelt post. Listing abductions and attacks over the past ten days—including kidnappings of Defence officials, students, worshippers, and farmers—Obi argues Nigeria’s “chaos” is due to collective leadership failures that have allowed lawlessness and violence to thrive. Obi claims no one, not even those tasked with security, is safe and warns that leaders have chosen “comfort over courage, politics over people, and power over purpose.” He insists the tragedies facing Nigerians—school abductions, attacks on worshippers, and erosion of democratic institutions—are not inevitable, but the result of failed governance. Calling for urgent reform, Obi says Nigeria must rise above indifference and excuses, and leaders must protect every community, child, and citizen. “You deserve safety, you deserve peace,” he concludes, urging Nigerians to demand a competent, compassionate […]

Why Goodluck Jonathan Stepped Back From Politics

Former President Goodluck Jonathan explained that his membership in the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) requires strict non-partisanship, which has kept him out of active politics. Speaking at his foundation’s 10th anniversary, Jonathan noted the forum’s mission is to prevent election crises across West Africa, intervening before problems escalate. Jonathan admitted he disappointed associates who expected a return to politics, but adherence to WAEF rules is a priority. He condemned the “rascality” in the current political climate and called for more responsible and prepared leadership. He reflected sadly on the kidnapping of 25 girls in Kebbi State, recalling similar incidents from his presidency, and offered prayers for their safe return. Jonathan said his foundation—focused on democracy and governance after advice from Tony Elumelu—committed to advancing democracy, peace, and institutional reforms across Africa, including mediation and building trust between citizens and […]

Fears of One-Party Dominance Rise as Violent PDP Crisis Threatens Democracy

Fears of One-Party Dominance Rise as Violent PDP Crisis Threatens Democracy Nigeria’s democracy faces mounting threats as violent scenes at the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) headquarters expose deepening rifts within the opposition. The struggle between Makinde-Bala Mohammed leadership and the Wike-backed faction resulted in the storming of the party secretariat, tear gas confrontations, and journalists injured in Abuja. The Wike faction expelled three governors—Seyi Makinde, Bala Mohammed, and Dauda Lawal—and several senior party leaders, escalating what observers call the largest purge in PDP history. Amid police intervention, Kabiru Turaki and his allies accused “enemies of democracy” of assaulting the party and praised law enforcement for preventing further bloodshed, though the crisis forced meetings to be postponed. Reacting to the incident, opposition parties ADC and MCE warned the ruling APC was destabilizing the opposition and accused the government of abusing state […]

Turaki Appeals to Trump To Help Save Nigeria’s Democracy

Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, the newly elected National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, has called on former US President Donald Trump and other world leaders to help save Nigeria’s democracy. Turaki made this appeal amidst an ongoing leadership crisis within the PDP, which he claims threatens the survival of the country’s democratic institutions. The PDP has recently experienced a deep split following a controversial convention in Ibadan and the emergence of rival factions. Turaki emphasized that external support and international encouragement are crucial for stabilizing the party and ensuring future elections are credible. He asked for Trump and other global figures to advocate for unity and reconciliation in Nigeria’s major opposition group, warning that prolonged disunity may destabilize democratic processes across the nation. Internal tensions have escalated as party leaders and members clash over authority, legitimacy, and the direction of […]

Tanzania lifts curfew and eases internet blackout after post-election violence

Tanzania has begun easing restrictions imposed after last week’s violent elections, with authorities lifting a nationwide curfew and partially restoring internet access. The move comes after days of unrest that the opposition says left hundreds dead. The electoral commission declared President Samia Suluhu Hassan the winner of the October 29 election with 98 percent of the vote, a result the opposition party Chadema dismissed as a “sham.” An AFP correspondent reported a slow return to normalcy in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday. Many residents cautiously resumed daily activities, though fear of renewed violence remained. “I hope violence will not come again,” said Rehema Shehoza, a 32-year-old food vendor. “Some of us would die from hunger because I need to get out for work to get my daily bread.” Police confirmed the lifting of the curfew imposed on election day, and […]

Tanzania’s Hassan Wins Landslide Amid Deadly Post-Election Protests

Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan has won a landslide re-election, securing 97.66 percent of the vote, according to official results released on Saturday. However, the victory has been overshadowed by days of deadly protests and allegations of a violent government crackdown. The Tanzania Electoral Commission announced the result on state television, stating that Hassan dominated every constituency. A swift swearing-in ceremony was scheduled for later on Saturday, the broadcaster added. The main opposition party, Chadema, was barred from participating in the election after its leader was charged with treason. The party accused security forces of killing hundreds of protesters since demonstrations erupted on election day, Wednesday, across major cities including Dar es Salaam and Arusha. Chadema’s spokesman told AFP that around 700 people had been killed, citing figures collected from hospitals and clinics. A security source and a Western diplomat […]

Mahama Warns Unregulated AI Threatens Global Information Integrity

President John Dramani Mahama has warned that the rapid and unregulated expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) poses a serious threat to global information integrity, cautioning that it could fuel misinformation and distort public discourse if left unchecked. Speaking at the International Conference on Information Integrity in Paris, Mahama said AI-powered tools such as deepfakes and algorithmic manipulation are reshaping how people perceive truth, making it increasingly difficult to separate fact from fiction. “If we’re to build a sustainable planet, we must also build an informed public,” he said. “The dawn of artificial intelligence has transformed the information landscape. While AI offers immense opportunities for innovation, it also amplifies the risk of misinformation and economic disruption.” The Ghanaian leader emphasized the need for collective global action to ensure that technology serves humanity rather than undermines it. “Deepfakes, synthetic media, and algorithmic […]
