12 Reps dump opposition for APC, ADC ahead of 2027 polls

Twelve members of the House of Representatives have defected from their parties to the ruling All Progressives Congress and the African Democratic Congress as political realignments intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections. The lawmakers, drawn from different geopolitical zones, formally notified the House of their decision in separate letters read during plenary by the Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas. Most of them cited prolonged internal crises, leadership tussles and irreconcilable differences in their former parties as reasons for dumping their platforms. Those who moved to the APC largely came from the Peoples Democratic Party, Labour Party, New Nigeria Peoples Party and other opposition parties that have been battling factional disputes since the last election cycle. Others chose the ADC, which has been positioning itself as a major opposition force and actively courting sitting lawmakers ahead of 2027. Analysts say the latest […]

Olumide Oworu explains why he joined politics

Actor Olumide Oworu says he ventured into politics because worsening governance in Nigeria directly affects his life and future plans.​ In an interview on Naija FM, he said he remembers how the country was when he was younger and is worried about raising a family in today’s conditions. He explained that this concern pushed him to move from complaining to actively trying to shape policies.​ Oworu said he wants to be among those making decisions because whatever laws are passed will impact him and ordinary citizens alike. He added that many current political leaders are already advanced in age, while people in his generation will live with the long term effects of their policy choices.​ He previously contested for the Lagos State House of Assembly in 2023 under the Labour Party but lost to Desmond Elliott.​

Days of reckoning: How El Rufai’s controversial legacy is catching up with him

Nasir El Rufai, former governor of Kaduna State and ex minister of the Federal Capital Territory, is facing intense scrutiny as corruption probes and public backlash put his record in office under a harsh spotlight. Once seen by many as a tough reformer, he is now battling allegations of financial mismanagement, human rights abuses and divisive politics from his years in power. Investigations ordered by his successor, Governor Uba Sani, and followed up by anti graft agencies have reportedly uncovered huge debt overhangs, controversial loan deals and contracts said to have been paid for but not executed. A Kaduna State House of Assembly ad hoc committee recommended his prosecution, accusing his administration of abuse of office, inflated contracts, money laundering and diversion of public funds. Critics also point to El Rufai’s long record of polarising decisions and statements, including mass […]

APC: FCT, Kano, Rivers victories are clear referendum on Tinubu govt

The All Progressives Congress has described its victories in the recent elections in the Federal Capital Territory, Kano and Rivers States as a clear referendum in favour of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Party leaders say the results show growing public approval of the president’s reforms despite economic hardship and opposition criticism. In separate statements, the APC National Chairman, Prof Nentawe Yilwatda, and the Lagos State chapter hailed the outcomes as a “resounding endorsement” of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. They argued that voters used the FCT council polls and by elections in Rivers and Kano to reward the ruling party for what they called bold leadership, infrastructure projects and efforts to stabilise the economy. The Lagos APC spokesman, Seye Oladejo, said the “resounding victories” recorded by APC candidates across the affected constituencies reaffirm the electorate’s confidence in Tinubu’s policies at both […]

2027: Tinubu, Obi camps eye clash as Village Boys Movement launches

Supporters of President Bola Tinubu and Peter Obi are preparing for a fresh political battle ahead of the 2027 elections following the unveiling of the Village Boys Movement in Abuja. The new platform is designed as a grassroots civic movement and a direct response to the pro Tinubu City Boys structure.​ At the Abuja launch, conveners said the Village Boys Movement aims to mobilise voters in rural and semi urban communities who feel left out of elite driven politics. They stressed that the initiative is focused on good governance, accountability, economic inclusion and support for ordinary Nigerians.​ The group, largely made up of young professionals, activists and Obi supporters, declared that it will back candidates whose values align with integrity and people centred leadership. Although Peter Obi was repeatedly mentioned as an inspiration, organisers said the movement is open to […]

Rivers Assembly stops impeachment move against Fubara, deputy

The Rivers State House of Assembly has stopped the impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and his deputy, Ngozi Odu. The lawmakers took the decision during their resumed plenary on Thursday in Port Harcourt, the state capital. The move follows the intervention of President Bola Tinubu, who stepped in to calm rising political tension in the state. The Assembly had earlier begun impeachment moves against the governor and his deputy over alleged gross misconduct. The allegations included demolition of the Assembly complex and spending state funds without legislative approval, among other claims. The decision to halt the process is seen as a temporary relief in the political crisis that has gripped Rivers State in recent weeks. Observers say the suspension creates room for dialogue and possible reconciliation between the executive and the legislature. Details of any agreement that led to […]

DeeOne: Obi can’t win 2027 with sympathy votes alone

Nigerian comedian and media personality DeeOne has said former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi cannot win the 2027 election by relying on sympathy votes. He advised Obi to change his campaign strategy and invest more resources if he is serious about defeating the ruling party. DeeOne argued that emotions and goodwill may have helped Obi gain traction in the 2023 election but will not be enough in 2027. He warned that underestimating President Bola Tinubu and his supporters, often referred to as the City Boy Movement, would be a major mistake. According to him, presidential campaigns require strong grassroots structures, logistics and funding. He criticised the “we no dey give shishi” posture linked to Obi’s movement, saying campaign workers need basic support such as food, transport and welfare on election day. DeeOne claimed that some Labour Party agents struggled […]

Ogba: El-Rufai should face DSS over seized passport

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, Chidi Ogba, has urged former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai to report to the Department of State Services (DSS) over the seizure of his international passport. Ogba said there is nothing wrong with making himself available for questioning if he is confident he has done nothing wrong. Security agents recently intercepted El-Rufai at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja after his return from Cairo, Egypt, and confiscated his passport. His lawyer condemned the incident as an attempted arrest without a warrant and described the seizure of the passport as unconstitutional and an abuse of power. Ogba, however, argued that instead of relying only on public sympathy, El-Rufai should formally present himself to the DSS or any relevant security agency to clear up any issues. He maintained that submitting […]
