OctavianAC:
One clear example is the crisis in the People's Democratic Party (PDP)⁠� around 2016–2017, when there were rival factions led by:
Ahmed Makarfi faction
Ali Modu Sheriff faction
Both groups claimed leadership of the party. During the crisis, INEC largely avoided taking sides and waited for the courts to determine the legitimate leadership before fully recognizing one faction. Eventually, the issue was settled by the Nigerian Supreme Court in favor of Makarfi’s faction.
Another example is the Labour Party Nigeria⁠� leadership disputes in recent years, where factions emerged and INEC stated that leadership issues are often subject to party constitutions and court decisions rather than immediate interference.
The reason INEC often does not interfere directly is because political parties in Nigeria are generally expected to manage their internal affairs, except where electoral laws are clearly violated or court judgments require INEC action.

Was there elections during the crises? I'm asking because the NLer asked what the fate of anyone who contests election and win in ADC and maybe his faction fails to win in court at the end.

Katell:
Adjourning a political party case during political season is an injustice on its own. Which case deserves accelerated hearing more than this ? How is the judiciary want to defend that they are politically neutral ?

If the opposition are inconsequential, then allow them to breath.

Why didn't you ask the court to accelerate the one that later made APC lose everything in Zamfra?

OctavianAC:
That's how it used to be in Nigeria when we have true democracy, and when the court announce the right faction they will takeover with their candidates without INEC interference.

When has it happened like that and give us at least one instance?

Angelfrost:
Lol... You went to a court whose judges are salaried by the ruling party to adjudicate a sensitive matter regarding opposition party leadership, and you are expecting what outcome exactly?!!

That's as comically ridiculous as demanding or expecting an INEC whose leadership was practically handpicked by the ruling party to deliver a free and fair election that goes against the their interests.

Abeg... Tell me another thing.

Who was paying the court that ceded all the elective positions won by APC to PDP in 2019 in Zamfara? Who handpicked the INEC that failed to recognise APC candidates in River State in 2019 general election? I don't want to call you mumu and hypocrite sha

Fiscus105:
Abi oooo, he should have made him VP, ....he is loyal, yet his candidate couldn't defeat okpebolo in APC primary.

You guy know little about politics and governancy.

Tinubu may want to placate South East in his 2nd term. In politics the president can trade anybody for his survival, both at poll and for his success in govt.

Edun is more loyal to Tinubu than Oshiomhole yet, he was bulldozed, wen Tinubu no longer comfortable with him

Common sense would have told a rational thinker, that, Hope cannot go to senate without full guarantee from president and that he can't trade governorship for any position less than senate Presidency.

Gov no be small office to just jettison

And your brain didn't tell you that Idahosa is from Edo South where the outgoing governor, Obaseki is from? Which president or party will make such mistake to lose the election? When Oshiomole finally becomes the senate president don't come here to shout ' dictator'

success1smyn:
Was Oshiomole not on seat when the law was passed? What was he doing and where was he then?

Oga make una dey try geh sense nah d rule was amended by a committee formed by Akpabio and then came to the floor of the senate to pass it and that's when Oshiomole reacted.

Fiscus105:
I'm seeing Hope as next senate President, Oshio may become one of principal officers.

Keep playing. Oshiomole is the most loyal ally of Tinubu since 2006.

Lanretoye:
What is osiomoles pain in this matter,he probably has eye on presiding

Not eye but the next senate president. He didn't become the president because it's his first term in senate. The reversal of the amendment rules is a directive from the Villa if you know.

@angelboy01

Can you read the bolded statement? When I said he went to waybill the parcel before he was caught, you people were busy arguing instead of digging up facts. It's sentiments, gullibility and hypocrisy that will be the end of Nigerians.

The boy didn't know what's in the parcel. He was asked by the friend to receive the parcel and waybill to him without telling him what the content was. He was even pricing the waybilling to show that he wasn't away of the content.

DeepSight:
This reversal is from the Villa no doubt.

Exactly. Tinubu wants someone else maybe Oshiomole.

Hate/Stereotype is everywhere but worst when it's coming from your supposed brothers. Here in Warri, Igbos generally are seen with an awful stereotype but are still loved in a way. A woman told me that we're treated nicely here but their people are treated badly in our sides. Wh n I asked her of any instance she mentioned the incident that happened between the female corp member and Udogachi security outfit of Anambra. I tried to let her know that even we the Igbos also condemned the act but she's already made up in her mind that Igbos are rude and bad. This thing happened in Anambra but an innocent man from Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, and Anambra are victims of the stereotype. I'm a fan of Nnamdi Kanu but not a fan of Biafra or death.because the cohesion among the Igbos are far from being mature. Anyone that thinks that Ebonyi State face the stereotype in Igbo land alone is not informed. People from Abịa, Nsukka, Mbaise and other parts of Igboland are not exempted.

Let love and peace take the core end of our daily lives. Shalom!

Stanna2025:
His downfall will be so loud beyond unimaginable..only time will reveal these

You have been talking about this fall without giving us a particular date for it or is it a dream of wishful thinking?

Security officers are now the new Boko Haram in town

geoworldedu:
I don't believe in prayers, but for one second let me believe that the prayer worked wonders o, because how can Tottenham that has never won a single match this year suddenly pop up in May to win a giant Aston Villa hunting down a place in the UCL even away from home? This is more than a miracle o. Ogbeni, you should open a church asap.

Pls what's the scoreline by prayer you have arranged for this ongoing match? I need to support your prayer with my sinful prayer sharp sharp

Omor Pep don blow the trophy away with his usual stubborness

geoworldedu:
Best as how na? League den no win. FA den no win. Win Carling, win Carling to save face, den no gree reach final. UCL, hun Hun and they are the best How na? You can say they have been the second most consistent across the past four seasons, because City remains the most consistent. But being the best, how na?

I was asking the guy that said that they're the best team in the league for the past 4 years.

geoworldedu:
Everton is blues in disguise. What am I saying sef? They are actually BLUE in everything and I'm sure they will disappoint, so skyBLUE city can take their cup. Arsenal must go TROPHYLESS. Everything is falling in place, especially as Westham was downed to 18th place by Tottenham just yesterday. This will make Westham play with their whole life on their home soil against Arsenal in a derby match on weekend. I won't be disappointed.

Exactly why I have been praying for Tottenham to start winning before the match against Arsenal

SyrusdeHansome:
Though I don't like Arsenal because of their noisy supporters I seriously want them to win this league cos they deserve it more than man city. Joke aside, in the last four yrs Arsenal has been the best team in the league. The inexperience of their manager has been the reason they haven't won the league two or more times now. Everton will win or draw tonight.

What measure did you apply to arrive at crowning them the best innthe last 4 years?

QuinQQ:
Only a really dumb person will up to now still not know it did not happen in the White House but in a hotel.

And only a really, really dumb person will still know that the shooter is a gay long-time Trump deranged person with massive writings online ranting against the "pedophile, rapist, traitor" in the White house!

Only a dumb person think that the hotel is in far away California a d nowhere close to whitehouse.

QuinQQ:
How is it suspicious?? You people sef, grasping at straws - making it sound like "friendly fire" means staged. Did you watch the video you posted?
They are simply saying the agent shot was mistakenly shot by another agent!

As for the dog,
If the guard were part of a conspiracy he'd just stay away from the door!
To the guard it was mere formality. He KNEW nothing was there. Turned out this once he was wrong!

Someone like you can easily be fooled especially a woman the movie was properly directed by D Trump and you're here claiming to be more Catholic than the Pope

muyico:
Negligence
This police officer
In hot soup now!

He's not in any soup bro. The earlier you know that the movie director is D Trump the better for your intelligentia upgrade.

Axis313:
And someone will tell me it is not staged.

Hollywood movie as directed by Trump.

Only a dumb person will even think otherwise. How the Bleep can ordinary teacher not only get into whitehouse but also go there with a gun without being detected by security check?

Olachase:
The business is very lucrative

But the moment you kill one eat Na you go kill the rest chop finish 😁😁😁

Werey I see what you did there

Pk01:
why..??

..... Relationship ain't just about s *x u know

I don't want to know o as far as you're my bro

IGBOSON1:
Hehehehehe

Shebi i talk am...they've already started digging for dirt on NDC! I mean....how jobless can you be to go checking to see if the leagl advicer of NDC is mentioned TWICE on INEC portal!

Wahala nor just dey finish

I can't try that shit. The day you look at my sister attractively is the day our fight starts.

Knowing that Obi is stingy they decided to put the ticket on the high side to shut him out.

Sunnyshinylight:
This is a major political signal, not just a routine defection. If Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso actually move into the same platform, it suggests a deliberate attempt to consolidate opposition strength ahead of 2027 rather than fragment it again.

The key issue is not the announcement but execution. Nigerian politics has a history of “almost alliances” that collapse over power sharing, structure, and control. The moment negotiations move from agreement in principle to positions, cracks usually appear.

Also, the justification tied to ADC’s internal crisis makes strategic sense. No serious contender wants to enter an election cycle on a legally unstable platform. That alone can sink a campaign before it starts.

If this alignment holds, then the real questions become:

- Who leads the ticket?
- How is regional balance handled?
- Can their support bases merge without friction?

Until those are clearly resolved, this remains a strong possibility, not a done deal.

Are you afraid of identifying with your gender or you're deliberately displaying Bobriskism?

mrvitalis:
It makes no sense trying to be a God father to an Igbo man it's impossible even if he is your son

It's not in our blood

But Umahi's stance is more democratical than that of the governor or you didn't read the news?

Henjor48:
Most Nigerians have since lost confidence in the judiciary after 2023 general elections.

So, nothing new in today's judgment.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

And you have been waiting for how Wike and Gombe will be disgraced
