  • 2027: ADC Will Bleed After Convention If Atiku Gets Ticket — Baba-Ahmed

    A former spokesperson of the Northern Elders Forum, Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, has predicted that the African Democratic Congress (ADC) may face internal crisis and possible defections after its convention ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

    According to Baba-Ahmed, several interests within the party could feel sidelined if Atiku Abubakar emerges as the party’s presidential candidate. He warned that such a development may lead to divisions and instability within the ADC.

    Baba-Ahmed said managing competing ambitions and interests would be crucial if the party hopes to remain united going into the 2027 elections.

  • Fresh Twist in Nigerian Politics: Atiku Haske Organisation Expels Abba Atiku After Joining APC

    A fresh political drama has erupted as the Atiku Haske Organisation (AHO) expelled Abba Atiku Abubakar, son of former VP Atiku Abubakar, over attempts to influence the group’s political direction. The AHO dismissed Abba’s directives as “null, void and dead on arrival” and reaffirmed its loyalty to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Despite the expulsion, the organisation reiterated its support for Atiku Abubakar as a credible leader for the 2027 elections. Abba’s move to join the ruling APC and endorse President Tinubu was described by Atiku as a personal decision, not alarming amid family politics.

  • Yusuf’s APC Defection Hits Deadlock Over 2027 Ticket Demands

    Kano State politics is at a crossroads as negotiations over Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf’s rumored defection from the NNPP to the APC hit a deadlock. Yusuf is demanding a written guarantee of the APC’s 2027 governorship ticket, influence over federal appointments, and control of Kano’s political machinery. The APC leadership has rejected these conditions, insisting on internal democracy and no automatic tickets. Power struggles involving APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje, Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin, and the Presidency have further complicated talks. With 2027 approaching, Yusuf faces a risky choice between staying with NNPP or joining APC without firm assurances.

  • 2027 Elections: How Elite Politics, Insecurity and Weak Institutions Threaten Nigeria’s Democracy

    As Nigeria moves toward the 2027 general elections, democratic institutions are coming under growing strain from early campaigns, elite bargaining, party defections, and rising insecurity. Despite INEC’s pledge to deliver credible polls, public trust remains low due to past electoral flaws, security interference, and judicial inconsistencies. With key elections scheduled in 2026, the conduct of INEC, the neutrality of security agencies, and citizens’ vigilance will determine whether Nigeria strengthens its democracy or slides toward electoral authoritarianism.

  • ADC Wahala: Ondo Chapter Descends Into Chaos As Faction Hijacks Party Structure

    Ondo State ADC don enter gbege as faction led by Prof. Bode Ayorinde allegedly hijacks party structures, sidelining authentic members. Former governorship candidate Barrister Myson Nejo accused the group—mainly ex-PDP members—of trying to dominate the party instead of collaborating, sparking tension ahead of 2027 elections.

    Nejo claimed Ayorinde declared himself State Coordinator, ignored the state chairman, and packed meetings with loyalists, causing confusion and resistance. He stressed that the move lacks approval from the national leadership and accused the faction of supporting individual ambitions over the party’s growth.

    Nejo urged Ayorinde to formally join ADC before any stakeholder meetings, promising a roundtable discussion to restore unity and ensure a democratic, inclusive path forward.

  • Can Anyone Really Push Wike Out of Rivers Politics? FCT Minister Boasts of Unshakable Control, Defies Rivals, and Says Only His Camp Truly Delivered Tinubu’s 2023 Victory

    Is Nyesom Wike still the most powerful political force in Rivers State, and can any group truly challenge his grip on the state’s politics? The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister has answered that question with confidence, declaring that no political camp can push him or his loyalists out of Rivers State, despite threats, attacks, and growing opposition since the 2023 general elections.

    Speaking during a visit to the Port Harcourt City Local Government Area Secretariat, where he met party leaders, traditional rulers, women, and youth groups, Wike insisted that his political structure remains intact and battle-tested. “Nobody in this state can push us out. We have led this war since 2023 and we have never reneged,” he said, adding that his supporters had stood firm in the face of intense pressure.

    The former Rivers governor explained that his ongoing tour of the state’s 23 local government areas was both a show of appreciation to his supporters and a rallying call to maintain backing for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of the 2027 elections. According to Wike, Rivers State remains one of the President’s most dependable strongholds.

    “If there is one state the President knows he can go home and sleep with his two eyes closed, it is Rivers State,” he declared, arguing that his political camp paid the price for its early and unwavering commitment to Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda.

    Wike also fired back at politicians he accused of opportunism, claiming that those who failed to support Tinubu in 2023 are now attempting to take over the Renewed Hope movement. He dismissed such efforts as dishonest and bound to fail. Using a vivid metaphor, he said they were like people who contributed nothing to a meal but suddenly wanted to eat first once the food was ready.

    Describing Port Harcourt as a politically complex, cosmopolitan city, Wike said electoral victories there are particularly difficult, making any success significant. He further claimed that Rivers State is unique in its ability to bring leaders of the two major political parties together to work as a team—a strategy he said was central to Tinubu’s victory.

    “This is the only state where you can see the leadership of two major political parties working as a team,” he said, urging other states to emulate Rivers rather than resent it.

    While projecting strength, Wike also called for unity, humility, and responsive leadership within the state. “Leadership is not a birthright,” he warned, adding that good leaders must listen to the people and be willing to change when advised. He concluded by praising the Port Harcourt City council leadership for its cooperation and urged sustained unity to drive development.

    His bold remarks raise key political questions: Is Wike’s dominance in Rivers truly unbreakable? Are his rivals capable of mounting a serious challenge? And will Rivers remain a decisive power base for Tinubu as the 2027 elections approach?
