NDC Primaries Hold Nationwide May 29
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) has made clarifications regarding its scheduled Presidential, National Assembly, Governorship, and State Assembly primaries. The primaries are still scheduled to hold nationwide on May 29, 2026, in keeping with the original May 28 and 29 timetable.
However, in view of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations and the resulting public holidays, major transportation and logistical challenges have arisen, including the non-availability of flights. Consequently, many aspirants who were in Abuja for the screening exercise, as well as members of the screening team, are currently stranded in Abuja.
Consequently, the party has decided that May 28 should be used for arrivals, documentation with INEC and security agencies, consultative meetings, and other preparations, while the actual primaries will now hold on May 29.
The teams will use May 28 to also hold meetings with stakeholders, party elders, as well as aspirants in their respective states.
No agencies of the state, viz: Police, INEC, DSS, etc., are to play any role in the programmes and meetings of May 28. Any activities carried out outside these guidelines would be unauthorized and deemed illegal.
The processes of the primaries on May 29 will be as follows:
1. Presidential affirmation
2. National Assembly primaries/affirmation
3. State Assembly primaries/affirmation
4. Governorship primaries/affirmation
The respective teams will collate and process all results and forward them to the National Headquarters, where the National Working Committee will announce the results.
No state executive or team has the mandate to announce any results.
We call for understanding and urge all participants to conduct themselves responsibly, as the party has zero tolerance for violence, disorderly conduct, and hooliganism.
Signed:
Senator Moses Cleopas
National Chairman
Barr. Ikenna Alex-Morgan Enekweizu
National Secretary

@SodiqTade Is obvious u no noth about politics.Are you aware Abba is an in-law to Kwakwanso?
English

Why is Abba still wearing the red cap and why is Kwankwaso yet to address this? Are they still together. We have seen instances where Obidients deny other Obidients who are not with them in NDC. Is this another political lesson? We wait...
Bashir Ahmad, OON@BashirAhmaad
I join other registered members of the APC in Kano State in affirming the candidature of Gov. Abba Kabir Yusuf as the party’s flag bearer for the 2027 gubernatorial election. May Allah guide him and grant him the wisdom to continue working for the peace, progress and development of our dear Kano State.

My One-Term, Four-Year Vow Is Sacrosanct
One of the greatest American Presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures as a model of principled leadership. Another iconic figure, John F. Kennedy, did not even complete a full term, yet his vision and ideals continue to inspire generations. In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as President of South Africa, despite immense public pressure to stay longer. His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self. Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it. Longevity in office is not a mark of success; rather, it is purposeful, accountable service - however brief - that defines true statesmanship.
It is within this context that I reiterate my vow: I will serve only one term of four years if elected President. And that vow is sacrosanct.
I am fully aware that the decay in our society has made trust one of the scarcest and most sceptically viewed commodities. Many Nigerians, understandably, no longer take politicians at their word. But even in this climate of cynicism, there are still a few whose actions have matched their words - whose integrity is built on verifiable precedent.
Recently, I became aware of two statements aimed, albeit indirectly, at my vow to serve only a single four-year term. One person remarked that even if I swore by a shrine, I still wouldn’t be believed. Another suggested that anyone talking about doing only one term should undergo psychiatric evaluation.
I understand the basis of their scepticism. They are judging me by their own standards - where political promises are made to be broken. But they forget, or perhaps choose to ignore, that Peter Obi is not cut from that cloth. I have a verifiable track record that speaks louder than speculation.
In my political life, my word is my bond. When I entered politics in Anambra State, I made clear and measurable promises to the people: to improve education and healthcare, to open up rural areas through road construction, and to manage public funds with prudence. I fulfilled each of those promises without deviation. I did not swear by a shrine, nor have I been certified mentally unstable as a result of honouring my word.
My vow to serve only one term of four years is a solemn commitment, rooted in my conviction that purposeful, transparent leadership does not require an eternity.
If making such a promise qualifies me for psychiatric evaluation, then we may as well question the mental fitness of those who framed our Constitution, which clearly stipulates a four-year renewable tenure.
I maintain without equivocation: if elected, I will not spend a day longer than four years in office. In fact, I believe that service should be impactful, not eternal.
We must rebuild trust in our country. I have dedicated my public life to demonstrating that leadership with integrity is not a myth. I have done it before, and I do not intend to betray that trust under any circumstances.
Forty-eight months is enough for any leader who is focused and prepared to make a meaningful difference. In that time, I intend not merely to make an impression, but to deliver on concrete promises to:
sanitise our governance system;
tackle insecurity through effective and accountable use of national resources; prioritise education, healthcare, and poverty alleviation;
catalyse small businesses as engines of growth ; and combat corruption with unflinching resolve.
Above all, I will dedicate myself to transforming Nigeria from a consuming nation into a productive one, where agriculture, technology, and manufacturing replace rent-seeking and waste as our national anchors.
These are not utopian dreams. They are realistic, actionable goals that are achievable within four years.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

@YunusaTanko I never knew ADC leaders are not smart politically.Playing catch up.ADC has more than 15 leadership cases ,you can't survive all cos they will all get to supreme court
English
Save Our Democracy.
The Supreme Court of Nigeria has consistently held that lower courts should not interfere in the internal affairs of political parties.
Proof:
March 21, 2025 Supreme Court judgment:
“No court has jurisdiction to entertain cases bordering on the internal affairs of political parties.”
SDP vs INEC case:
The Court reaffirmed “the long-settled legal position that the internal affairs of political parties are for the parties alone to determine” and are “beyond the reach of external interference.”
Electoral Act 2026 Section 83(5):
“No court in Nigeria shall entertain jurisdiction over any suit or matter pertaining to the internal affairs of a political party.”
It also prescribes fines of ₦10 million or more for lawyers who file such cases.
Exception:
Courts may intervene in disputes arising from party primaries under the Electoral Act. However, matters such as leadership, conventions, membership, and suspensions remain internal affairs and are generally not justiciable.
All in the effort to stop one man HE PO. We will survive this in sha Allah
