"How Opposition Tinubu Would Treat President Tinubu" -

Image
Farooq A. Kperog In today’s Saturday Tribune column, I set Tinubu’s actions as president against the blistering response he himself would have mounted if he were in opposition, drawing on his own record to show how sharply the two diverge. You may resent Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but you can’t deny that he has earned his place in Nigerian political history as one of the, if not the, most consequential opposition figures in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic. He constructed a carefully planned political and rhetorical template to oppose central governments effectively and then converted the symbolic capital he gained into a path to the presidency. By May 29, Tinubu will mark his third year as president. He is beset by the same constraints his predecessors faced and is reacting to opponents almost exactly as they did, perhaps with even more viciousness and guile. But the opposition seems to be in the wilderness. It is flustered, incoherent, spineless, and in strategic disarray. It would do w...

The Slaughter of Men, Women, a Pregnant Woman, and Children in Jos: When the Souls of the People Become the Cost of State Failure

Image
By Taiwo Akinlami The news of the massacre in Jos, Nigeria, left me unable to proceed as usual. My humanity was shattered and diminished once again. Death is certain, but avoidable massacre is not. Where there is respect for human life, and where government truly understands that the welfare and security of the people shall be its primary purpose, such horrors should not become routine. Men, women, and children, including a pregnant woman, were reportedly murdered in cold blood. I had intended to write on another subject, but as a father, I could not in good conscience move on as though nothing had happened. One question has stayed with me since then: When will this killing stop? What makes this even more disturbing is the backdrop against which it happened. We have heard senior officials speak of terrorists as “prodigal sons” who should be spared and reintegrated into society. That position is morally bankrupt if it is not matched by a clear, credible, and urgent plan to p...

BREAKING: INEC’s Suspension Of ADC Leadership.  U.S. Policy Firm To Brief Congress, Trump . By Chigozie Ejiogu. The story unfolding is no longer just about party politics in Nigeria—it is beginning to echo in the corridors of power far beyond its borders. A United States–based policy and advocacy firm is preparing to brief members of the U.S. Congress and officials aligned with the Trump political bloc over what it describes as a deeply troubling development:  The suspension of the leadership of Nigeria’s African Democratic Congress (ADC) by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). But this is where the narrative shifts—from routine political maneuvering to something far more unsettling. What should have remained a domestic electoral matter is now being reframed on an international stage as a test of Nigeria’s democratic credibility. According to sources familiar with the planned briefing, the firm intends to present the suspension not as an isolated a...

Image
By Jeff Agbo.  A Former President of the Nigerian Senate for 8 years and Senator  who  represented Benue South in the National Assembly for 20 years has warned  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to truncate democratic governance in Nigeria going by the present modus operandi of using state apparatus specifically the judiciary and the INEC to totally use spurious injunctions and dodgy judgments to stifle opposition political parties. AT THE WORLD PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY DAVID MARK,(GCON) CHAIRMAN OF AFRICAN DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (ADC) ON APRIL 2, 2026, AT THE SHEHU MUSA YAR’ADUA CENTRE ABUJA. THIS ATTACK ON DEMOCRACY WILL NOT STAND On behalf of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), and lovers of democracy, I welcome you all to this world press conference.

No Kings Protests Across The US Rally Against Donald Trump

Image
No Kings Protests Across The US Rally Against Donald Trump Large protests against the Trump administration are taking place in cities across the US, marking the third iteration of No Kings rallies that have previously drawn crowds into the millions. Organisers say they are protesting against policies imposed by US President Donald Trump, including the war in Iran, federal immigration enforcement and the rising cost of living. "Trump wants to rule over us as a tyrant. But this is America, and power belongs to the people - not to wannabe kings or their billionaire cronies," organisers said. Trump allies have previously denounced the No Kings protests as the "hate America rally" and accused participants of being linked to the far-left Antifa movement. Throughout the day on Saturday, demonstrations will take place in nearly every major US city, including New York, Washington DC, and Los Angeles. Rallies have already started in Washington DC and other cities,...
