2027: Why Obi and El-Rufai Haven’t Officially Joined ADC – Party Spokesman



The Interim National Publicity Secretary of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Bolaji Abdullahi, has explained the reasons behind the delay in Peter Obi and Nasir El-Rufai formally joining the party.

Speaking during a press briefing in Abuja over the weekend, Abdullahi stated that both political figures were given time to conclude ongoing political activities in their former parties, including by-elections and the selection of governorship candidates.

He affirmed their commitment to the ADC coalition, noting that they would officially become members once those obligations were fulfilled.

“They were allowed to wrap up outstanding electoral matters in their previous parties,” Abdullahi said.

Addressing questions on the party’s internal democracy, he emphasized that ADC has no predetermined candidate and assured a level playing field for all aspirants.

Abdullahi also dismissed allegations of legal troubles within the party, asserting that all actions taken by the ADC were lawful and designed to prevent exploitation by the ruling party.

Labour Party Lawmakers as an Appendage to APC Majority Lawmakers: A Huge Question Mark on Peter Obi’s Leadership

  The Labour Party (LP) made an unprecedented impact in the 2023 general elections, largely due to the influence of Mr Peter Obi and the Obidient movement. Before then, it was almost unthinkable for a third-force party to achieve significant electoral success in Nigeria.

Among those elected were individuals from humble backgrounds, including a former commercial motorcyclist and a motor park loading agent, further reinforcing the movement’s appeal to ordinary Nigerians. Labour Party’s Crisis and the Loss of Legislative Influence To the disappointment of many supporters, the Labour Party is currently experiencing severe internal disarray. At least one senator and five members of the House of Representatives have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Even more concerning is that the remaining LP lawmakers in the National Assembly appear ...

Forbidden Flames.... Torchlight for Twilight.

By Ogbu A.M. The traffic buzzed outside their Lekki apartment as Emeka sat quietly in the living room, his eyes fixed on his phone, though his mind was miles away. Lagos had a way of wearing people out—but nothing had worn him down like what he’d just learned. His best friend, Charles, had dropped the bomb casually while they shared beers at a bar in Victoria Island. "Guy, I no dey try cause wahala, but I think say you suppose know wetin your wife dey do. Ngozi talk say Chioma dey knack her oga for office. That Ndubisi guy." It had hit Emeka like a slap. For days, he pretended he hadn’t heard it. But now, as he watched Chioma humming in the kitchen, moving gracefully like nothing was wrong, he knew Charles wasn’t lying. Her phone was always face-down. Late meetings. A new perfume. The soft smile she had when she texted someone she wouldn’t name. And then there was Ngozi—Chioma’s younger sister. She had moved in temporarily while job-hunting, according to Chioma. Young, v...

Chief Priest’s First-Ever Stage Performance: A Night of Emotions, Gratitude & Celebration in Owerri Owerri, the heart of Eastern Nigeria, witnessed a night of history, emotions, and gratitude as celebrity businessman and socialite, Cubana Chief Priest , took the stage for his first-ever live performance —and it happened on his own birthday. The event, which was packed with fans, celebrities, and well-wishers, was more than just a celebration of another year; it was a heartfelt tribute to his roots, his supporters, and a dear friend he lost.
