Jonathan Fully Eligible for 2027 Presidency – Cousin

Former President Goodluck Jonathan is legally and constitutionally qualified to contest the 2027 presidential election, his cousin Azibaola Robert has said. Azibaola, a lawyer and former pro-democracy activist, made the statement in response to recent comments by senior legal figures, including Minister of Aviation Festus Keyamo (SAN) and human rights lawyer Professor Chidi Odinkalu, who questioned Jonathan’s eligibility. Writing on his Facebook page, Azibaola stressed that there is no legal barrier to Jonathan’s candidacy. “GEJ is 100% constitutionally and legally qualified to contest if he chooses to. If he decides not to yield to the overwhelming calls to contest, it would not be because he is not qualified,” he wrote. He added that Jonathan, a former president and experienced leader, has access to a team of legal advisers and does not require public reminders about his rights under Nigerian law. […]

ADC Crisis: Nafiu Bala Declares Self Authentic Chairman

The leadership tussle within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has deepened as Deputy National Chairman, Nafiu Bala, formally assumed office as the party’s National Chairman, rejecting the authority of former Senate President David Mark. Bala argued that both the Electoral Act and the ADC constitution empower him to succeed the former chairman, Ralph Nwosu, who resigned earlier this year after the party joined an opposition coalition. The coalition later announced Mark as Interim National Chairman. In an interview with The Guardian, Bala accused coalition leaders of attempting to hijack the ADC. “Our former National Chairman voluntarily resigned, and our constitution clearly outlines the transfer of power. I now resume office as the authentic National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress,” Bala said. He added that party leaders and members continued to rally around him. “Those who resigned have stepped aside […]

PDP Chieftain Rejects Zoning, Calls for Merit in 2027

Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim, has opposed the party’s zoning plan for the 2027 presidential ticket, arguing that competence should take priority over regional rotation. Speaking on Arise Television’s The Morning Show on Thursday, Olawepo-Hashim said zoning encourages division instead of unity, stressing that leadership ability is not tied to any part of the country. “Let’s focus on what unites us, not what divides us. Nigeria does not need zoning to produce a competent president. A capable leader can come from anywhere,” he stated. He cited historical examples, noting that former President Olusegun Obasanjo won the PDP ticket in 1999 through an open contest, unlike former President Goodluck Jonathan, who benefited from zoning but later lost re-election. According to Olawepo-Hashim, insisting on zoning could weaken the PDP against the ruling All Progressives Congress […]

Tinubu gov’t desperate after Japan visa denial

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused President Bola Tinubu’s administration of spreading misleading information after Japan denied creating a special visa category for Nigerians. Japan’s foreign ministry clarified on Monday that it had no plans to introduce visas specifically for Nigerians or any African nationals. The statement read:“There are no plans to promote the acceptance of immigrants or issue special visas for residents of African countries. Reports suggesting otherwise are not true.” This directly contradicted an earlier announcement by Abiodun Oladunjoye, Director of Information at the State House. On August 22, Oladunjoye claimed that Japanese authorities had agreed to introduce a special visa for highly skilled Nigerians interested in working in Kisarazu, and that artisans willing to upskill would also benefit. Reacting to the denial, ADC National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, criticised the federal government, saying it was desperate […]

"Nigeria’s Real Issues Demand Attention, Not Political Games" Human rights lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Femi Falana, has condemned the 2027 power rotation debate, calling it a distraction from the nation’s pressing challenges. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Falana argued that discussions about zoning and tenure elongation shift focus from critical issues like:✔ Rampant insecurity✔ Worsening hunger crisis✔ Collapsing infrastructure “I won’t join campaigns for power shift or tenure extensions. That’s diversionary. Nigeria needs solutions, not elite power games.”— Femi Falana, SAN 🔥 Why Falana’s Stance Matters ✅ Substance Over Symbolism: Urges focus on governance, not political maneuvering✅ People-First Approach: Calls for policies that directly improve lives✅ Rejects Elite Distractions: Labels rotation debates as detached from citizens’ struggles 📌 The Bigger Picture: What Nigeria Needs Falana emphasized that the country’s deep-rooted structural problems—not rotational politics—should dominate national discourse.
