By Ben Ahanonu The endless cycle of post-election grievances and superficial peace meetings within Nigeria’s political parties highlight a fundamental flaw in the nation’s democratic journey: the absence of genuine internal party democracy. It is worrying that political reconciliation meetings have become a staple of Nigerian politics after every primary election cycle. Whenever a party conducts primary elections to select candidates for public office, a crisis inevitably follows due to the underhanded tactics used to produce the winners. The aggrieved aspirants routinely allege imposition, bribery, and rigged processes.…

ARE THOSE DESPERATELY AND DESPICABLY WORKING AND ROOTING FOR TINUBU’S RE-ELECTION IN 2027 PSYCHOLOGICALLY NORMAL OR DO WE INSIST THAT THEY UNDERGO MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE EVALUATION ?
By Vitalis Unachukwu Can Wike , Bwala and their band of recruited , handsomely paid political mercenaries, show us why they should not undergo or be subjected to mental health and substance abuse evaluation, rehabilitation and treatment, based on the questionable degree of mental wellness and what prompted their maniacal beliefs to drum support for President Tinubu’s dismal service records, which to all intents and purposes, do not credibly support a Second Term in office as President . Knowing that the odds are against the President due to genuine lack…

Read MoreOwerri Zone Will Not Be Ignored: Why APC Must Present Hon. Osita Opara As Its Senatorial Flag Bearer
By Basheer MS Uwakwe The demand by the Owerri Zone Consultative Assembly is not noise. It is not a bargaining chip. It is a clear, legitimate, and long-overdue call for justice, equity, and political survival. At the heart of that demand stands one name that refuses to be silenced, Hon. Osita Opara (Itoli of Mbaitoli). Let’s speak plainly: if the All Progressives Congress (APC) is serious about winning the Owerri Senatorial seat in 2027, then the party must stop gambling with sentiment and start acting with strategic clarity.…

By Nze James Chinonyerem As Owerri Zone continues to strategize, consult, and mobilize, it is equally important to stay vigilant — to look through the windows and to the sky for those mischievous actors who fly politically divisive kites. Granted, every son and daughter of Owerri Zone who qualifies to run for the governorship has the right to do so. Yet patriotism must remain the watchword. Thankfully, we have patriotic sons and daughters whose interest lies in leading the people’s movement to ensure that both the letter and spirit of…

Read MoreNigeria’s 2027 Election: After 65yrs of Hardship, Nigerians Must Reject Political Messiahs Who Can’t Save the Nation
Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda promised sweeping reforms aimed at reviving the economy, curbing inflation, unifying the foreign exchange market, boosting GDP growth, addressing insecurity, expanding electricity access, and combating corruption. However, these ambitious pledges appear to overlook Nigeria’s entrenched challenges, including mounting public debt, weak infrastructure, unreliable power supply, widespread poverty, and systemic governance failures, raising serious doubts about whether the agenda represents a realistic roadmap for national recovery or merely aspirational rhetoric. Nigeria is approaching another crucial election cycle, one that many citizens view not merely as…
Read MorePower Without Influence: The Imo Paradox From Okorocha To Uzodinma
By Uwadiegwu Ahumaraeze When the All Progressives Congress, APC, emerged in 2013 as Nigeria’s new political powerhouse, expectations were high across the country. Those expectations were even greater in Imo State, which proudly stood as the only APC-controlled state in the South-East, when the party won the historic 2015 Nigerian presidential election that brought Muhammadu Buhari to power. At the center of that optimism was Rochas Okorocha, then governor of Imo State and the lone APC governor in the region. By political calculation, Okorocha was widely regarded as the de…
Read MoreWike Versus Fubara; Kwankwaso Versus Yusuf, Etal, All In Fulfilment Of Existing Prophecies
By Sam. Onwuemeodo Nyesom Wike, the current Minister of the Federal Capital Territory had withered the turbulent or violent political storm in Rivers State in 2023 to make Simi Fubara Governor. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso equally went through the crucibles to make Abba Kabir Yusuf the Governor of Kano State in 2023. Today, it’s Fubara versus Wike. Yusuf versus Kwankwaso. And such other similar cases. And you think it’s ordinary? No. It’s not ordinary. Not cases of happenstance or accidental discharges or developments. They’re all in fulfilment of existing or subsisting …
