Tinubu is NOT politically smart. When someone use official government power, authority and force to hinder people from participating in an election is nothing but criminal. when someone steal vote and bribe judiciary to win election is nothing but criminal. to be politically smart is to convince people with your ideology and make the people believe in you and vote for you massively in an election.

Former INEC commissioner Mike Igini warns flawed electoral law provisions could enable manipulation, weaken accountability, and undermine Nigeria’s 2027 elections credibility. Former Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mike Igini, has issued a stark warning that Nigeria’s 2027 general elections risk being fundamentally compromised unless critical provisions of the Electoral Act are urgently amended. Speaking in an interview with ARISE News on Wednesday, Igini said recent legal provisions—particularly Sections 63, 137, and 138—could open the door to widespread electoral manipulation, weaken accountability, and shift the true battleground of elections from polling units to courtrooms. Igini expressed concern over the growing role of the judiciary in determining electoral outcomes, noting that elections in Nigeria are increasingly decided through litigation rather than votes. “Elections that ought to be determined conclusively at the polling unit are now being decided by the courts,” he said. “The courts in Nigeria are now being asked to answer political questions rather than legal questions.” He warned that this trend exposes the judiciary to political pressure: “Whenever courts are made to answer political questions—who should be a candidate, who should be party chairman—the judiciary becomes vulnerable. Politicians will seek to capture the system.” Igini highlighted Section 63 as particularly dangerous, describing it as a “foundation-level threat” to credible elections. “A ballot paper that does not bear the official security features of INEC can now be accepted by a presiding officer. This is extremely dangerous.” According to him, this provision introduces subjective discretion: [/i] “What is the objective standard for a presiding officer to be ‘satisfied’? This opens the door for politicians to print and introduce fake ballot papers that must be accepted.” On Section 138, he argued that it weakens accountability: “An act or omission contrary to INEC’s directives—but not explicitly against the law—cannot be used to challenge an election. This effectively grants immunity for disobeying INEC guidelines.”[i] He further criticized Section 137 for shielding electoral officials from scrutiny: “It is no longer necessary to join presiding or returning officers in election petitions—even when they are directly responsible for misconduct.” [i][/i] Drawing from his experience, Igini warned that these provisions could enable coordinated electoral fraud involving ad hoc staff. “Those who conduct elections are largely ad hoc staff. Many are vulnerable to influence. Politicians infiltrate the system ahead of elections.” He recounted incidents of bribery and premeditated malpractice: “Before elections, money is distributed—even in foreign currency—to presiding officers. Some were told nothing would happen to them because the law protects them.” Igini also revealed that individuals had previously attempted to manipulate voter accreditation using multiple identity cards. Igini urged the National Assembly and INEC to act swiftly: “INEC must urgently return to the National Assembly to seek amendment and repeal of these provisions—especially Section 63. The ballot is the foundation of the election.” He dismissed the argument that electoral reform is a gradual process: “How long does it take to amend clearly dangerous provisions? The 2022 Electoral Act, in parts, is a retrogression.” Despite his concerns, Igini emphasised the critical role of the judiciary in safeguarding democracy: “The judiciary must remain the last line of defence for democracy and the rule of law. But that responsibility has not been fully upheld.” He called for a “purposive interpretation” of electoral laws by judges to prevent abuse: “Courts must suppress the mischief these provisions enable and advance the remedy intended by law.” Igini delivered his strongest warning when asked about confidence in the 2027 polls: “If these provisions are not repealed immediately, the integrity of the 2027 election will be in flames.” He stressed that both legal frameworks and human integrity are essential: “Good laws without people of integrity will fail. But even weak laws can work if managed by committed individuals.” Concluding, Igini framed the issue as a broader threat to Nigeria’s democratic future: “Democracy cannot survive where the rule of law is undermined. What gives legitimacy to those in power is the credibility of the electoral process.” He also underscored the importance of political opposition: “There is no hope for democracy without a viable opposition. That is what guarantees accountability and balance,”he concluded. https://www.arise.tv/mike-igini-flawed-electoral-act-provisions-will-compromise-2027-elections/ |

Do you think other Rivers nationalities will align with IKWERE against Fubara? The Obio Akpor you are talking about, in free and fair election wike himself will not win. Agreed his tribe may vote for him(Wike) but the overwhelming majority residents of Obio Akpor aren't IKWERES, and they dislike him. this is a fact. aribisala0: |

Guy WIKE outside government is NOT the same with WIKE in government. WIKE IN government is powerful because of incumbent power and authority WIKE OUTSIDE government is powerless. Just look at Amechi. Sacking WIKE will NOT flip anything from APC to PDP or vice verse |
People say Tinubu and APC used Wike and dumped him. In my opinion, it is Wike that used APC and Tinubu to his advantage and he is still using them. Few weeks before the general election, Wike knew that APC will win at all cost, for him to remain relevant in politics, he entered into an alliance with them and result?, he got FCT ministerial position. Remove Wike from that position today, and you will never hear his voice again. WIKE is the major beneficiary of that Alliance and not the other way round. |

There is no way the soo called goodfather will allow any soo called political godson to contest election without first putting them into some unholy agreements, as if, he the godfather is the state. so to rest power from the godfather, is to apply wisdom and accept their terms and you get to the office, obey the constitution you pledged to uphold and keep your agreements with the people of the state and not with any godfather. The godfather himself never keep agreement he enter in writing with his party and other aspirants. in summary, the godfather is not greater that the state and the constitution of the state. and whatever agreement they may have that is contrary to the law of the land is null and avoid.

At it stand, nobody can put WIKE in his place under this administration. What happened to FUBARA was a complete unholy gang up of federal might to remove him at all cost to please somebody and for somebody's ambition. Whosoever is there as governor, must dance to their tune otherwise, there is no justice or rule of law you can depend on to put them on check. Chachalogo: |
The Atheist do not have any spiritual contention to their wellbeing or prosperity, in fact evil forces assist them to succeed unsolicited why? to deceive them to believe that indeed there is no God. But anyone who acknowledges God as being God and Jesus Christ as his savior will in turn suffer unwarranted attacks from these evil forces just to discourage him from believing in God.

it will be proper and just to show the world where the school disposed the refuse first of all. secondly has the school confirmed that the refuse was taken from their compound? Did the school uses direct Laboure to evacuate the waste or contracted a waste disposal agent to do so? if indeed the school uses direct Laboure to disposed off the waste in a wrong place, then they deserve the punishment as no one is above the law. But if the school contracted a waste disposal agent to evacuate the refuse, then, the government should punish the agent and not the school as the school do not have control of the operations of the contractor. |
What you called "Boring" is a vacuum in your soul created by your maker (Almighty God) and only Him can fill it. Nothing else can fill it and give satisfaction. Consider giving your life to Jesus Christ. Let Him be you personal Lord and Savior and the Vacuum will be filled to your satisfaction. |

Nineteen people, including eight students sitting for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, have been rescued after being kidnapped by suspected pirates. The victims were held for 21 days in the Bille waterways area in the Degema Local Government Area of Rivers State. They were freed on Monday evening by a local security group known as the Royal Fouchee Security Services, also called the Amama Soldiers. The group is led by Asari-Dokubo, a former militant leader and now the traditional ruler of the Torusaramapiri community in Degema. The victims were kidnapped on May 6, when pirates attacked two boats heading to Bille. Everyone in the boats was taken, including the students. After the attack, there were many calls for their release. The kidnappers later contacted families and demanded N100 million in ransom. Speaking about the rescue, Asari-Dokubo said he and his team began the operation on Sunday after being asked to help by the Department of State Services. He also said that one of the victims had earlier paid N10 million to the kidnappers but later helped them locate the hideout. “These people were kept in terrible conditions for 21 days. They were starved and badly treated. One of them, who was released after paying N10 million, helped us find the kidnappers’ camp,” he said. Asari-Dokubo also raised concerns about a missing soldier, Lance Corporal Salihu Ibrahim, who was in one of the boats. Only his uniform and ID card were found, and he fears the soldier may have been killed. One of the suspects arrested, named Victor Friday, claimed he didn’t take part in the kidnapping. He said he only stayed in the camp and was used to running errands. He named a man called Kentebe from Bayelsa State as the leader of the gang, who is now on the run. A rescued victim, Victor Akinloye, who was also a boat driver, said they were beaten, stripped naked, and their phones and ATM cards were taken. The kidnappers also withdrew money from their accounts. Akinloye said he recognised the area where they were held. A few days later, he helped lead the rescue team to the location. When contacted, the spokesperson for the Rivers State Police Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the rescue. “Yes, I can confirm they were rescued on Monday evening through a joint effort by the police and the local security group,” Iringe-Koko said. https://punchng.com/eight-abducted-wassce-students-11-others-freed-in-rivers/ |
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has pulled out of all reconciliation agreements previously reached within the Peoples Democratic Party, accusing key party leaders of betrayal, dishonesty, and serial violations of mutual understandings. In a statement issued on Sunday, Wike traced the roots of the PDP’s internal turmoil to the aftermath of the 2023 general elections, lamenting what he described as a steady decline into “dishonesty and lack of trust amongst its key stakeholders.” “Since after the 2023 General Election, the PDP has been wantonly swinging from one part of a slippery precipice to another,” Wike said, noting that several efforts had been made to “arrest this pernicious virus of dishonesty and treachery.” Wike, a former governor of Rivers State and a key member of the influential G5 group, blamed Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State for sabotaging reconciliation efforts, accusing him of being the “architect of our problems.” “I made it clear to the Governor of Oyo State, HE, Seyi Makinde, that he was the architect of our problems, pointing out to him that non-adherence to agreements reached was the bane of the party, and that he was the chief culprit of this anomaly,” Wike stated. He disclosed that during a G5 meeting in Lagos, the governors had resolved to bury the hatchet and move forward. This was followed by a broader meeting in Abuja at Senator Bukola Saraki’s guest house, involving other top PDP figures including Governors Bala Mohammed, Umaru Fintiri, and Makinde, alongside Saraki himself. https://punchng.com/wike-pulls-out-of-pdp-reconciliation-deal-blames-makinde-for-party-crises/ |
