They used propaganda to mess up GEJ's government. Things weren't worst than it is right now. The old ape was everywhere on twitter twitting like a like he had something to offer, now look how things have become worst and he is still travelling squandering the wealth of the country instead of finding solutions. So, he wants a 2nd tenure? He has already received the GEJs treatment. He will not mess up this country the 2nd time. If he likes he should form city boys movement up and down and with Wikes rainbow coalition, nobody is rigging this 2027 elections. He should go home and cultivate ugwu with his wife.
iwaeda: President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that the “emergency treatment” of Nigeria’s economy is over, saying the next priority of his administration is to bring down the cost of living and deliver shared prosperity.

AsomughaChuks02: There is nothing wrong with the demarcation. It will order traffic and eliminate dangerous overtaking that puts vehicles on collision course with oncoming traffic. And then, there are still two lanes on each side so there is still ample space for traffic to continue if that your wishful scenario plays out.
These minions still don’t know what they up against!
Go and read your personal text and then ask yourself if you are different from those people you wrote about. I read your comment some weeks ago calling Trump a thing and obese and not only did you do so, you went about defending the hike in fuel prices in Nigeria and all sorts. Then it makes me wonder once more if you are different from the people you portrayed on your personal text. Nigeria will be better but the day it gets better may we not have people that reason like you at the helm of affairs.
Politicstoday: Supreme Court ruling: SANs explain implications for parties, candidates Published by Francis Iwuchukwu September 27, 2026 2:36 pm
The Supreme Court of Nigeria’s decision, which validated key provisions of the Electoral Act 2026, on Sunday sparked divergent legal opinions among Senior Advocates of Nigeria (SANs) on its implications for political parties, candidates and actions already taken under the disputed provisions.
It would be recalled that the highest court in the country had on Thursday, September 24, 2026, upheld an appeal by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and restored Sections 77(5), 77(6), 77(7) and 84(2) of the Electoral Act 2026.
Principally, the provisions concerned political party membership registers and the procedures for nominating candidates for elective positions.
The Supreme Court, through a seven-member panel led by Justice Adamu Jauro, declared that the disputed provisions were not inconsistent with the 1999 Constitution, thereby setting aside the July 16, 2026, judgment of the Court of Appeal, which had voided the provisions following a challenge by the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP).
Before then, the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court had thrown out ZLP’s constitutional challenge in a judgment delivered on May 5, 2026.
However, the Court of Appeal partially allowed the party’s appeal and declared the disputed provisions invalid, prompting INEC to approach the Supreme Court.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with the Nigerian Tribune, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Dr Abiodun Layonu, insisted that the question of whether the decision of the Supreme Court would operate retrospectively should be approached differently from the ordinary rule concerning the retrospective application of legislation.
The SAN posited that legislation ordinarily does not operate retrospectively unless the law expressly provides otherwise, subject to constitutional limitations.
However, Dr Layonu distinguished between the operation of legislation and the effect of a judicial pronouncement by the Supreme Court.
In his words, the significance of the apex court’s judgment was that it had now authoritatively determined that the disputed provisions of the Electoral Act were valid.
The SAN explained that because the provisions were part of the Electoral Act from the time the legislation was enacted, the Supreme Court’s validation meant that their legal validity had now been affirmed at the highest judicial level.
According to Dr Layonu, “It would therefore be inaccurate to simply describe the judgment as giving the Electoral Act retrospective effect.
“Rather, the Supreme Court had determined the legal status of the provisions as contained in the legislation, meaning that conduct occurring after the enactment of the law could be subject to those provisions where applicable.”
The SAN stressed that the earlier Court of Appeal judgment could not necessarily be relied upon by a candidate or political party seeking to avoid the consequences of the Supreme Court’s subsequent pronouncement.
Dr Layonu maintained that he was not commenting on the merits or outcome of any particular individual case.
Another SAN, Mr Francis Amobi Nzelu, viewed the apex court’s judgment from the perspective of the changing relationship between political parties, candidates, INEC and the electorate.
Nzelu queried the continued relevance of the traditional position that political parties have the final say in determining their candidates, particularly in view of the statutory framework governing party primaries under the Electoral Act 2026.
The SAN said political parties in earlier periods operated under a system in which their conventions effectively selected candidates to represent them in elections.
The senior lawyer suggested that the introduction of direct primaries, under which registered party members participate in determining candidates, had changed the character of the process.
Nzelu held that where a party member had obtained nomination forms, been screened and cleared, participated in a primary election and emerged victorious, questions could arise if the party subsequently sought to remove the person’s name.
The SAN insisted that such circumstances should also be considered from the standpoint of the electorate, which ultimately votes for candidates at general elections.
On his part, human rights crusader Ige Asemudara described the Supreme Court’s decision as a development that would reinforce order and adherence to established electoral rules.
The legal luminary stated that persons who were not listed on the membership register of a political party within the statutory period should not seek to participate in the party’s primary process.
Asemudara referenced instances where aspirants dissatisfied with the outcome of primaries in one political party subsequently moved to another party and sought to contest under its platform.
The Supreme Court, according to Asemudara, had restored clarity regarding the relevance of party membership registers and the statutory requirements governing participation in party primaries.
On the question of retrospectivity, the human rights lawyer argued that a judicial decision is intended to determine the legal position arising from a dispute and provide guidance for the future.
Asemudara insisted that the Supreme Court did not create a new law through its judgment but interpreted the existing provisions of the Electoral Act 2026 and determined their constitutional validity.
Therefore, Asemudara rejected the suggestion that the judgment should simply be characterised as a retrospective application of the Electoral Act.
The senior lawyer maintained that the practical implications of the ruling would be relevant to persons participating in the electoral process where their actions fall within the provisions of Sections 77 and 84 of the Electoral Act 2026.
I have no faith in the current Supreme Court Justices. When the news of their decision was all over, I paid no attention to it because These men will tomorrow give a decision that is contrary to what they decided few days ago just to favour some individuals thereby creating another confusion or them go tell you say e no go apply retrospectively just to favour men wey help them reach Supreme Court like Wike. We know Wike men for Supreme Court & Court of Appeal.
treesun: The Presidency has said President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is hale and hearty and has continued to discharge his responsibilities while on a working vacation outside Nigeria.
The Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, disclosed this in a post on his X platform on Sunday.
Onanuga said Tinubu was not required to be physically present in Abuja to perform his duties, particularly with the availability of digital communication tools.
“Nigeria’s President is hale and hearty. He has been on a working vacation, which he is perfectly entitled to. In this digital age, he does not need to be physically present in Abuja to do the work for which he was elected in 2023,” he said.
According to him, the President had continued to work during his vacation, including meetings with investors in France.
Onanuga said Tinubu had most recently facilitated a $7 billion deep-sea port project in Ogun Waterside, an initiative of the Ogun State Government.
He also compared Tinubu’s absence from the ongoing United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York with that of other African leaders.
“Two other important African leaders were not in New York for the UNGA: South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa and Egypt’s Abdel Fattah el-Sisi,” he said.
Onanuga said Ramaphosa had booked himself off public engagements, while Egypt had not faced public uproar over President el-Sisi’s absence from the UNGA.
He said Tinubu had announced his annual vacation and delegated Nigeria’s representation at the UNGA to Vice President Kashim Shettima.
The presidential aide also criticised former Anambra State governor and 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, over comments concerning Tinubu’s whereabouts.
“Yet Peter Obi pretends to be unaware of President Tinubu’s whereabouts and asks the puerile question his followers are asking on X,” Onanuga said.
He added that Tinubu was expected to return to Nigeria during the week to participate in activities marking the country’s 66th Independence Anniversary.
According to Onanuga, the President would also honour the late Chief MKO Abiola, whom he described as a martyr of Nigeria’s democratic struggle, by attending the premiere of a movie produced in his memory in Lagos.
