@underworld_09 This is heart-warming. I just hope their next move does not take OK from frying pan to fire. These PBAT goons are not relenting, because they have seen the pendulum swinging against them in 2027. The masses are hungry, angry and hopeless now. They need deliverance asap.

Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso clears the air: 👇👇👇👇 Clarification on My Political Position We have noted recent media reports and discussions suggesting a possible realignment within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) due to the current challenges facing the party. In light of the misleading narratives in the public domain, I wish to state categorically that no final decision has been taken regarding my political future or that of my political associates. The recent Supreme Court judgment, while affirming the legitimacy of the David Mark-led National Working Committee (NWC), also remitted the matter back to the High Court. This has left the party in a precarious position. In addition, the Federal High Court has recently ruled to delegitimise the party’s recent convention. The Attorney General of the Federation has also strangely applied to a Federal High Court to deregister the ADC. We left the NNPP due to externally influenced legal problems that made our stay perilous. The ADC has now been also forced into this difficulty. Consequently, like other major stakeholders, we have commenced wide-ranging consultations — including with leaders from the NDC, PRP and others to explore the best options for protecting our democratic interests. We shall announce our decision in the soonest possible time. On the issue of presidential candidacy, I wish to recall my consistent record as a committed democrat. In the 2014 APC presidential primary, I came second to President Muhammadu Buhari (whom I fully supported to victory), with Atiku Abubakar third, Rochas Okorocha fourth, and the late Sam Nda-Isaiah fifth. Similarly, in 2019, I contested the PDP presidential ticket and immediately supported the winner, His Excellency Atiku Abubakar, serving as the campaign’s coordinator in the North. I have always placed national interest and party unity above personal ambition. Furthermore, the ADC is yet to zone its presidential ticket or take any decision on a candidate. I have therefore neither declared any intention to run for president nor endorsed any aspirant. All speculations to the contrary are premature and unfounded. My absence from the two recent ADC stakeholders’ meetings was due to unavoidable personal commitments. I promptly communicated my apologies to the party leadership. We shall continue to engage constructively at all levels. Any definitive position on our political direction will be communicated formally through official channels at the appropriate time. Sen. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, PhD, FNSE Former Governor, Kano State Former Minster of Defence

Open Letter to the Leaders of the ADC and the Broader Opposition Stakeholders Dear Esteemed Leaders, Nigeria stands at a defining crossroads. The incumbent administration under President Bola Tinubu has presided over deepening hardship, mounting insecurity, and a crisis of public trust. The 2027 presidential election offers us a historic opportunity, not merely to field a candidate, but to rally the entire opposition behind a figure who can unify our fractured nation, ignite mass participation, and deliver victory. That figure is Peter Obi. We urge you, without hesitation, to adopt Peter Obi as the ADC’s preferred presidential candidate and the unifying banner of the opposition. His candidacy is not just strategic but also it is transformative. Here is why it represents our clearest path to victory: 1. National Unity and Healing: Peter Obi’s appeal transcends ethnicity, religion, and region. An Igbo leader who has already built unprecedented bridges to the North, South-West, and South-South, he alone can heal the dangerous North-South divide that has weakened our democracy for decades. Unity is not a slogan; it is the indispensable foundation for national development. By choosing Obi, the ADC sends an unmistakable message: this is no longer a sectional contest but it is a Nigerian project. 2. Massive Youth and New-Voter Mobilization: With his energy, digital fluency, and authentic connection to Nigerians, Obi will galvanize millions of first-time and young voters who sat out previous elections. His campaign will be exciting, issue-driven, and hopeful turning apathy into enthusiasm and making 2027 the most participatory election in Nigeria’s history. 3. Issue-Based, Cost-Effective, and Mass-Connecting Campaign: Obi does not campaign on privilege or money politics. His platform is built on clear, data-driven solutions: security, education, health, and moving “from consumption to production.” His campaigns are lean, transparent, and deeply relatable, allowing ordinary Nigerians to see themselves in the movement. This approach will stretch every naira further and earn the trust of voters tired of expensive, elite-driven politics. 4. Organic Grassroots Strength That Cannot Be Bought: Peter Obi’s support base is not transactional. His polling-unit agents, volunteers, and foot soldiers come from a committed, organic following that is almost impossible to compromise or rig. Non-political “fixers” will have no votes to sell. This structural integrity is a decisive advantage in an electoral environment where money often decides outcomes. 5. Relentless 8-Month Campaign Machine: Eight months is more than enough time for Peter Obi. He will campaign every single day from town halls, markets, churches, mosques, universities, and radio stations while others tire or outsource their visibility. His humility and respect for all will attract thousands of passionate workers who will volunteer their time, energy, and networks. 6. Diaspora Leverage and International Goodwill: Obi’s strong connections with Nigerians in the diaspora will translate into massive financial, intellectual, and advocacy support that will reverberate back home. Simultaneously, his credibility will draw international development partners who are eager to invest in a stable, reform-minded Nigeria, enhancing both campaign resources and post-election governance capacity. 7. Media Dominance and Vision Clarity: Through consistent engagement on television, radio, and social media, Obi will make the ADC’s vision crystal clear to every voter. His articulate, evidence-based communication style will dominate the airwaves, leaving opponents struggling to match his visibility and substance. 8. Contagious Enthusiasm That Will Fill the Streets: The excitement Obi generates is infectious. It will put people on the streets, in convoys, and in every corner of the federation, turning the campaign into a national movement rather than a mere political exercise.

Five Banking Services That Are Now Completely Free Under New CBN Guide. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has released its Guide to Charges by Banks and Other Financial Institutions, set to take effect on May 1, 2026. This updated guide introduces several consumer-friendly policies designed to enhance financial inclusion and transparency across the Nigerian financial system. Here are five key banking services that you can now enjoy without paying a single kobo: 1. Reactivating or Closing Your Account Under the new regulations, banks are no longer permitted to charge you for reactivating a dormant account. 2. Receiving Your Monthly Statement of Account Staying informed about your finances is now cost-free. L However, Special Request for Printed Statement of Account (Request in a manner other than agreed on mandatory issuance has been pegged at a maximum of N20 per page. 3. Small Inter-Bank Electronic Transfers To encourage micro-payments and digital adoption, the CBN has eliminated fees for small electronic fund transfers. Transactions between N0 and N5,000 now carry no charge. For transfers between N5,000 and N50,000, the fee is capped at a low rate of N10. 4. Using Your Own Bank’s ATM (On-Us Transactions) Whenever you use an ATM provided by your own financial institution—referred to as an “On-Us” transaction, there is no charge for the withdrawal. Furthermore, performing non-cash transactions such as intra-bank transfers at these ATMs is also free. 5. Issuing Virtual Cards and Managing Your PIN As banking becomes increasingly digital, the new guide ensures that virtual cards are issued at no charge. Additionally, common security maintenance tasks like PIN re-issues or PIN resets are now free services for all customers

OUR LAWS AND DEMOCRACY MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL TIMES The Nigerian Bar Association has closely monitored recent political and legal developments as the nation gradually approaches the 2027 General Elections. These developments, particularly those arising from the interpretation and potential application of provisions of the Electoral Act 2026, raise serious constitutional, democratic, and rule-of-law concerns that require immediate intervention. We particularly deprecate the disturbing involvement by lawyers and courts in the internal affairs of political parties despite the clear provisions of the Electoral Act, 2026, which stipulates in Section 83 of the Act that “No court in Nigeria shall entertain jurisdiction over any suit or matter pertaining to the internal affairs of a political party.” Not only are courts denied jurisdiction to entertain any matter pertaining to the internal affairs of a political party, but they are also precluded from granting any interim or interlocutory injunction even where any action has been brought in violation of the Act. The section further provides that “Where such an action is brought in negation of this provision, no interim or interlocutory injunction shall be entertained by the Court, but the Court shall suspend its ruling and deliver it at the stage of final judgment and shall give accelerated hearing to the matter”. What we now see are situations where actions are not only instituted in Courts by lawyers in clear violation of the Act, but Courts purportedly grant interim and/or interlocutory injunctions in clear contempt of statutory provisions of the law. This does not augur well for our democracy. Democracy will not thrive in a situation where lawyers and courts take actions and decisions that not only negate our laws but also do violence to them. This emerging trend of subverting the clear letters of the Electoral Act and dragging courts into the internal affairs of political parties through disingenuous litigation, forum shopping, and malafide applications designed to secure undemocratic political advantage, bodes no good for our democracy. Such practices, if not immediately curbed, would directly contradict the clear intendment of the Electoral Act and risk transforming the judicial processes into avenues for political score-settling or electoral manipulation. We must reiterate that these provisions were clearly designed to curb abuse of court processes and discourage forum shopping in political disputes. This is therefore why the NBA is concerned that the abuse, misapplication, or selective deployment of these provisions may create opportunities for manipulation capable of undermining democratic competition and shrinking the political space. Members of the Bar are reminded that they are Ministers in the Temple of Justice and not political agents seeking judicial endorsement of partisan objectives. The filing of actions intended to draw courts into internal political party disputes, particularly where jurisdiction is expressly excluded, constitutes an abuse of court process and a violation of professional responsibility. The NBA will take firm steps to deter such conduct. Lawyers who deliberately file actions aimed at procuring judicial interference in intra-party affairs, or who seek ex parte or interlocutory orders in clear violation of statutory provisions, risk facing disciplinary proceedings. We will not hesitate to present petitions before the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee (LPDC) against any Legal Practitioner found to be engaging in such conduct. This will be pursued decisively to serve as a deterrent and to preserve the sanctity of the judicial process. The Nigerian judiciary must stay vigilant and resist being drawn into political theatrics. Courts should firmly decline invitations, no matter how artfully crafted, to intervene in matters the law explicitly bars them from.

contravention of our constitution to stand. The Supreme Court must act to correct this constitutional anomaly, after the NASS has sold out. Nigeria is indeed not a democracy yet.

report received. Even if there is an intelligence report that there may be breakdown of law and order, after the constitutional impeachment processes concludes, then the FGN can deploy its security arsenal to bring the situation under control. Nigerians must not allow this

The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and the body of Senior Advocates of Nigeria should challenge this brazen unconstitutionality and undemocratic proclamation of a state of emergency in Rivers State and the concurrence/support of the National

@ruffydfire This is really sad. For endangering other peoples lives, the guys that did this shameful act should be fished out, prosecuted and jailed. It is unfortunate that poverty has brought us to this level. Authorities should visit buyers of the metals to interrogate them.

This is sad.
