The Ekiti APC governorship primary (October 27, 2025) is fast approaching, and all eyes are on Governor Biodun Oyebanji. Despite fears that he might shut others out, Oyebanji is widely seen as a humble, peace-loving democrat with unmatched grassroots appeal. The APC national leadership has been praised for rejecting automatic tickets, showing fairness and transparency. Opponents may be uneasy, but Oyebanji’s inclusive style—consulting elders, carrying party members along, and connecting deeply with the people—has made him the clear favorite. At this point, the numbers speak loudly: barring divine intervention, Oyebanji looks set to emerge as the party’s flagbearer. #Ekiti2025 #APCPrimary #BiodunOyebanji #EkitiPolitics #NigeriaDecides2025 #DemocracyInAction

ADC Rejects INEC’s Voter Registration Figures, Alleges Plot Against South-East The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has rejected INEC’s newly released voter registration figures, describing them as “false and deceptive.” INEC reported only 484 new registrations in Enugu and 261 in Ebonyi — the lowest nationwide. ADC insists thousands actually registered and accused INEC of trying to suppress the South-East’s voting strength ahead of 2027. The party called for the release of “true figures” and launched an independent investigation into the exercise. #NigeriaDecides #SouthEast #ADC #INEC

UPDATED: PDP Zones 2027 Presidential Slot To South, North Retains Chairmanship The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has zoned its 2027 presidential ticket to the South while retaining the national chairmanship in the North. This resolution was reached at the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Abuja, which also confirmed Umar Damagum as National Chairman. Damagum, who became acting chairman in March 2023 after Senator Iyorchia Ayu’s suspension, had previously served as PDP Deputy National Chairman (North). The zoning issue remains contentious, with the ruling APC already adopting President Bola Tinubu as its 2027 candidate. PDP faced internal crisis in 2023 when Atiku Abubakar clinched its ticket, prompting former Rivers governor Nyesom Wike to back Tinubu. Now Minister of the FCT, Wike had in May warned that zoning the PDP ticket to the North again would be a costly mistake, urging the party to act strategically ahead of 2027. #PDP #Politics #NigeriaDecides2027 #Zoning

PVC Is the Voice of the Voiceless” — Peter Obi Urges Nigerians to Secure Their Voter Cards Former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has ignited conversations online after urging Nigerians to collect their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) ahead of future elections. In a powerful statement via his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Obi described the PVC as the “weapon of the poor” and the most effective tool citizens possess to challenge injustice and bad governance. He cautioned Nigerians, especially the youth, against selling their votes, stressing that doing so is equivalent to selling their future: “When you sell your vote, you’re not just selling an election; you’re selling schools for your children, hospitals for your loved ones, and jobs that give dignity and hope.” Obi further urged voters to elect leaders with competence, character, capacity, and compassion, while resisting intimidation, deception, or financial inducements during elections. His post quickly went viral, sparking widespread reactions, with many Nigerians praising his consistent advocacy for democracy and good governance. Supporters also highlighted the urgent need for grassroots voter education and mobilization. #PeterObi #NigeriaDecides #PVC #VoteNotFight #GoodGovernance #Democracy

Obasanjo, Buhari Wasted 8 Years, Tinubu Has Nothing to Show After 2” — Dele Farotimi Nigerian lawyer and human rights activist, Dele Farotimi, has taken a swipe at former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Muhammadu Buhari, declaring that both men spent two full terms in office “without doing anything.” Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Farotimi also criticized President Bola Tinubu, claiming that over two years into his tenure, his administration has pushed the country backwards by “50 years.” On the debate surrounding a one-term presidency as proposed by Peter Obi, Farotimi argued that Nigerians must demand clarity on Obi’s plans rather than focus on the duration of office. He stressed that meaningful change should be visible within a short time if a leader already has a clear vision. Quizzing the practicality of Obi’s proposal, he said: “A man says he’s going to spend one term. One term to do what? What are his plans?” Farotimi concluded that leadership success should not be measured by years spent in power, but by the impact of policies and actions taken during the period. #NigeriaPolitics #DeleFarotimi #Tinubu #Obasanjo #Buhari #PeterObi #2027Elections #Leadership #NigeriaDecides

Tinubu Will Sweep 2027 Election Even If Jonathan Runs — Rep Abejide Predicts Landslide Victory Leke Abejide, House of Representatives member for Yagba East/Yagba West/Mopamuro Federal Constituency in Kogi State, has predicted that President Bola Tinubu would secure a decisive win in 2027 — even against former President Goodluck Jonathan. Speaking on the Mic On podcast, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain projected Tinubu would win over 32 states, possibly losing only in Anambra and Abia, but even clinching Ebonyi. “My prayer is that they should run like that (on different platforms), and Asiwaju will win 32 states. He may lose maybe Anambra, Abia; he will win Ebonyi — maybe more than 32 states,” Abejide said. He credited Tinubu’s growing popularity to notable improvements in infrastructure and security. Citing his recent travels across Kano, Kaduna, and Abuja, Abejide claimed that roads were safer, rail transport was efficient, and public sentiment was positive. With speculation rising about Jonathan’s potential comeback bid, Abejide believes such a move would only strengthen Tinubu’s victory chances. #Tinubu2027 #PoliticalPrediction #NigeriaDecides #JonathanComeback #ElectionForecast
