Five meaningful ways to mark Nigeria’s 27th Democracy Day on June 12

Democracy Day is a national public holiday in Nigeria celebrated annually on June 12 to commemorate the restoration of democracy in 1999. Until 2018, it was celebrated on May 29, but President Muhammadu Buhari changed the date to honor Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola (MKO Abiola), whose courage, resilience, and commitment to the will of people remain enduring symbols of Nigeria's democratic journey. To meaningfully mark Nigeria's 27th Democracy Day Celebration on June 12, 2026, citizens can participate in five important activities. First, offer prayers for the nation alongside millions of Nigerians as part of the day's commemoration activities. This spiritual reflection helps acknowledge the sacrifices of democracy heroes and celebrates the strength of democratic institutions. Second, reflect on the sacrifices of heroes like MKO Abiola, whose usurped mandate and the annulled 1993 presidential election many still regard as Nigeria's […]

State Police: Joint Lawmakers–Executive Panel Concludes Work

The joint panel made up of federal lawmakers and representatives of the executive has concluded its work on a framework to establish state police in Nigeria, bringing the long-running agitation for decentralised policing a step closer to reality. According to presidency officials, the committee’s report will form the basis of a constitutional amendment bill and enabling laws that will be transmitted to the National Assembly in the coming weeks, as part of ongoing consultations by the Federal Government aimed at developing a workable model for state police. Earlier this year, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, reiterated the Federal Government’s “strong commitment” to the establishment of state police, saying President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is determined to see the reform become a reality once the necessary legal framework is secured. “It is the desire of President Bola Ahmed […]

13 Reps Switch Parties as Chinda Resigns as Minority Leader

Thirteen members of the House of Representatives have switched political parties in a major political realignment that has reshaped the party composition in the 10th National Assembly. The mass defection comes as Ahmad Chinda, the former Minority Leader of the House, has resigned from his position, marking a significant shift in the legislative landscape ahead of the 2027 general elections. Chinda's resignation as Minority Leader has triggered speculation about the future direction of opposition politics in the National Assembly. The representatives who switched parties represent various constituencies across Nigeria and their defections have altered the balance of power between the ruling party and the opposition in the lower chamber of the National Assembly. The move has been described as one of the largest party-switching incidents in recent Nigerian political history. Political analysts say the defections reflect growing fluidity in Nigeria's […]

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. […]

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 […]

Northern youths back NASS on pipeline security deal

Northern youths under the Arewa Youth Consultative Forum have praised the National Assembly joint committee on Petroleum Resources for endorsing the pipeline surveillance contract handled by Tantita Security Services. AYCF president Yerima Shettima said in a statement that the parliament’s decision to dismiss petitions against Tantita and support the continuation and possible expansion of its contract is patriotic and should be commended by all Nigerians. Shettima said the lawmakers showed they understand the realities on the ground, noting that pipeline vandalism has dropped significantly under Tantita’s watch and warning that the issue should not be politicised. He commended the leadership of the House Committee on Petroleum Resources Downstream, chaired by Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, and its Senate counterpart for what he called a transparent and inclusive engagement with stakeholders in the oil and gas sector. According to him, rejecting calls to […]

IG unveils framework for state police operations, safeguards

The push to establish state police in Nigeria gained momentum yesterday as Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu, through the chairman of the Nigeria Police Force Committee on State Police, Prof. Olu Ogunsakin, submitted a comprehensive framework to the Senate. The 75-page proposal, presented to Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, is expected to guide ongoing constitutional amendments needed to create state police across the country. The committee recommended moving policing from the Exclusive Legislative List to the Concurrent List to make state police constitutionally possible. It also proposed the creation of a Nigeria Police Service at the federal level and State Police Services for sub-national governments, with clearly defined jurisdictions to avoid overlapping duties. As part of safeguards, the framework insists that election security and related matters should remain under the control of the federal police. It further outlines multi-layered accountability […]
