Obi, Kwankwaso set to dump ADC for NDC

Former presidential candidates Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso are set to leave the African Democratic Congress and join the Nigeria Democratic Congress as opposition realignment gathers pace ahead of the 2027 elections. Key figures in the Kwankwasiyya movement say talks with NDC leaders are now at an advanced stage, with only minor details left to be resolved. According to leaders of the Obi Kwankwaso alliance, often called the OK Movement, the decision follows growing uncertainty over the legal and leadership situation in the ADC. They fear that ongoing court cases and internal disputes could weaken the party’s ability to serve as a stable platform for a broad opposition coalition. A prominent Kwankwasiyya chieftain, Saifullahi Mohammed, disclosed that stakeholders from all 44 local government areas of Kano State met at Kwankwaso’s residence and unanimously endorsed the move to the NDC.

Nigeria is poor because we celebrate thieves – Obi

Former Anambra State governor Peter Obi says Nigeria remains poor because the country celebrates corrupt people instead of holding them accountable. He argued that Nigeria is not truly a poor nation but has been made poor by years of bad leadership and a culture that rewards those who steal public funds.​​ Obi said that in many cases, people who have looted public resources are honoured with chieftaincy titles, front row seats at public events and loud celebrations, instead of being questioned about the source of their wealth.​ He compared Nigeria with other countries where citizens resist bad governance, stressing that Nigerians often sing, dance and praise leaders who have failed them, even when millions are living in hardship.​​ According to him, the main problem is that “thieves” are allowed to manage national resources, and this has led to widespread poverty, […]

Senate rejects fresh bid to amend 2026 Electoral Act

The Senate has rejected fresh calls to amend the 2026 Electoral Act, asking opposition leaders to channel their grievances through proper legislative procedures. Opposition figures, including Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi and Rotimi Amaechi, had demanded an immediate review of the new law, describing it as anti democratic and skewed in favour of the ruling party ahead of the 2027 elections. They argued that certain sections of the Act undermine electoral transparency and called for the removal of what they termed obnoxious provisions that could weaken the credibility of future polls. Responding, the Senate leadership dismissed the pressure for a hurried amendment and advised the opposition to submit specific proposals and work through the National Assembly’s established processes. Senate leaders maintained that the 2026 Electoral Act had followed due process, including passage by both chambers and assent by President Bola Tinubu, […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

Cubana Chief Priest vows to work against Obi in 2027

Socialite Cubana Chief Priest has said he will work against Peter Obi in the 2027 presidential election. He made his position clear during an exchange with followers on Instagram.​ A fan had asked him directly if he would be working against Obi in the next election. In response, Cubana Chief Priest answered yes and said it was not a crime, noting that he had actually worked for Obi in the last election even while serving as a special adviser to an APC governor.​ His remark sparked mixed reactions, including from a follower who referred to his past issues with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. Cubana Chief Priest brushed this off, saying that in Nigeria one has not really made it if they have never been invited by the EFCC.​ The conversation later touched on Biafra and support from the […]

Obi leads NASS protest over real time result transmission

Former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi on Monday led a protest at the National Assembly demanding the restoration of real time electronic transmission of election results in the Electoral Act Amendment Bill.​ The protest, tagged Occupy the National Assembly, drew hundreds of members of the Obidient Movement and civil society groups, who described the removal of the phrase real time as a setback for electoral transparency ahead of the 2027 general elections.​ The Senate had recently passed the Electoral Act 2022 Repeal and Reenactment Amendment Bill 2026, but critics faulted the decision to delete real time from sections on electronic transmission of results. They argued that this change could weaken safeguards against vote manipulation.​ Lawmakers have insisted that electronic transmission of results remains in the law, but protesters said removing the real time clause could allow post election interference […]

Obi challenges Tinubu over failed power promise after new grid collapse

Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has questioned President Bola Tinubu over his campaign promise to deliver steady electricity, following another collapse of Nigeria’s national grid in January 2026. In a statement posted on his verified X account on Wednesday, Obi recalled Tinubu’s 2022 campaign pledge that if he failed to provide stable power in his first four years in office, Nigerians should not vote for him for a second term. He said the recent power failures clearly contradict that promise and should concern all Nigerians. Obi noted that the national grid had already collapsed twice in January 2026, even before the end of the month, and about twelve times in 2025. He described the frequent collapses as a sign of deep problems in the power sector, despite repeated assurances from the government. He also criticised President Tinubu’s frequent […]

Seun Kuti, Peter Okoye reconcile after 2023 election feud

Nigerian music stars Seun Kuti and Peter Okoye (Mr P) have finally reconciled, years after their heated social media clash over the 2023 presidential election. The pair, who fell out over opposing views on Labour Party candidate Peter Obi, were recently seen embracing at a nightclub in Lagos, signalling an end to the rift.​ Their feud began in early 2023 when Seun Kuti described Obi as an “opportunist”, a remark that prompted a sharp response from Peter Okoye, who questioned Kuti’s relevance and success as an artiste. Both men went on to trade personal jabs online, dragging family legacies and careers into the argument and splitting many fans along political and tribal lines.​​ Seun Kuti was quoted as saying, “We are artistes, we can’t be fighting over politicians,” while Okoye is also reported to have agreed that it was time […]
