Emmalez: The coast may getting clearer for top contender, Blessing Fubara to emerge as the governorship flag bearer of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Rivers state as the results so far collated show him leading in fifteen out of the 23 local government areas with wide margin
Four aspirants, including Blessing Fubara Snr. Dumo Lulu Briggs, Fafahdan Princewill and Mike Willy are in the race to seek the NDC ticket to contest the 2027 governorship election in Rivers State.
According to a statement issued Saturday by the Coalition of Obidient/Kwankwasiyya Movement primary election observer group, the election has been peaceful in Rivers state, while coalition is currently ongoing with Blessing Fubara showing a strong lead in about 15 LGAs
The observer group in the statement issued by George Brown, Hon. Victor F. Heart, and Shriff Farouk for the Obidient Movement, as well as Eric Koko, Ibiwari George Green and Mohammed Abdullahi for the Kwankwasiyya Movement, said the coalition, in its desire to ensure transparency in the NDC primary election across the country, dispatched its members across the country to follow and monitor the conduct of the primary election committee in the states with due diligence, adding that the conduct has been very peaceful and commendable in Rivers State.
The OK Movement therefore warned all aspirants to desist from taking the media spaces available to them to cause confusion and ridicule the smooth conduct of the primary election, warning that no individual should announce any illegal result or declare himself winner, while coalition of results is still ongoing, saying it is only the party-empowered election committee that has the right to do so
The group therefore urged the public and members of the NDC in Rivers state to ignore and disregard any primary election result that did not officially come from the party
The statement further commended the outcome of the NDC members at the various venues of the primary election in Rivers state, stressing that the huge number was an indication that the NDC will make a commendable statement in the state during the 2027 polls
According to the statement, "based on the results so far collated in 15 LGAs, Blessing Fubara Snr has shown a wide lead, over the other aspirants, but we are yet to get the final result and no individual including the aspirants or group is permitted to announced any result. The only authentic result will be declared by the primary election committee and the party after all results have been collated
"We therefore call on the aspirants and their supporters to desist from the ongoing social media declaration as no result has been declared yet in the Rivers NDC governorship primary elections. The committee is still at work.
"Some of the desperate aspirants are going contrary to the party’s desire by making unofficial declarations on social media outlets. This is not acceptable, as it amounts to putting the NDC like the other political parties which the party has taken serious steps to be different from
"The OK primary election observer group therefore warns all the aspirants in all the states to remove desperation and allow the election committees to do their party assigned duties diligently as directed by the NDC leadership"
The observer group similarly warned the members of the committee in Rivers and other states not to allow themselves to be used by desperate aspirants to compromise the outcome of the governorship primaries, as doing so will mean the NDC has not shown any difference with the other political parties it has distanced itself from
"They must be fair and transparent enough to ensure that the votes of the members who have shown serious commitment to the NDC, by coming out in their numbers to pick their candidate for the governorship election must count," the OK observer group warned
Thank God you exposed yourself and other Obidients, so Obidients are only visible online? hahahaha so Edo state is no go area for Aisha Yusufu and her NDC 😆😆
Ofunaofu: You want her to go and square up against Okpebholo, Oshiomhole, and the APC's hyenas and tigers in Edo State during the main election?
Oga, sometimes you have to pick your battles where you at least stand a chance of surviving.
In Abuja, she has a fighting chance. In Edo State, the APC would devour her
After rigging emeka Ike and Aisha Yusufu even before the primary election 😆😆 party of unfortunate losers
givedemwotowoto: After observing the nationwide party primary elections, I feel compelled to write this.
The problem is not the direct primaries, the problem is the absence of clear standards.
The current system of lining people up behind candidate posters and counting them manually creates room for errors, manipulation, and inflated figures.
A credible direct primary should produce a paper trail or digital footprint that can be independently verified.
INEC should've specified the standards and provided resources (if requested) and oversight to each political party.
The process should be simple in 6 easy steps, and should resemble the main election, so voters use the primary election to get used to the process.
Step 1: Accreditation Members present their party membership card and valid ID
Step 2: Verification Officials confirm their details on the membership register.
Step 3: Ballot Issuance Verified members receive a ballot paper (or access to a voting terminal).
Step 4: Voting Members cast their votes using either:
a. Transparent ballot boxes labeled with each candidate's name and photograph, OR b. Digital voting terminals (computer or iPad)
Step 5: Counting Votes are counted publicly, one ballot box at a time, or tabulated digitally in the presence of observers.
Step 6: Declaration Results are announced and recorded publicly.
A resurfaced throwback statement by Nyesom Wike praising Peter Obi has sparked fresh reactions online amid Nigeria’s heated political climate. In the old remark, Wike described Obi as “an exceptional leader” and admitted that he learned from his style of leadership and governance. The throwback has reignited political conversations, especially as both men now stand on different sides of Nigeria’s evolving political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.
