His influence extends across borders, with recent honours at the Iconic Africa Summit in Zimbabwe and a nomination among the Top 100 Global Future Builders for 2026 in Istanbul.

*Name-Dropping and the Aguata Federal Constituency House of Representatives Race*


As the countdown to the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) primaries gathers momentum, the political landscape in Aguata Federal Constituency is becoming clearer—and, in some respects, more revealing.


A noticeable trend by one of the aspirants is the increasing resort to “name-dropping,” particularly claims of closeness to, or endorsement by, the party’s national leadership. While access to party leaders may be a natural by-product of holding public office, it should not be misconstrued as a substitute for _anointing, blessing or endorsing_ an aspirant .


The incumbent member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Engr. Dominic Okafor, by virtue of his office, maintains official channels of engagement with the Governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo, OFR (Oluatuegwu), and the party’s national leadership, including the National Chairman, Barr. Sly Okenwa. Similarly, Hon. Chibueze Ofobuike, as the sitting Chairman of Aguata Local Government Area, interacts regularly with the Governor in the course of his administrative duties and, like other elected officials, has institutional access to party leadership.


Hon. Afam Ezenwafor (Afamation), though not currently holding an elective or appointive office, remains a member of the party and retains the right, as do all members, to engage with party leaders, albeit without the structural advantages of incumbency.


In this context, it is important to draw a clear distinction between access and endorsement. The former is a function of office; the latter is a formal and deliberate political act.


Recent developments within the party have already settled this matter. At the Special South-East Zonal Meeting, the Governor made it unequivocally clear that the primaries will be conducted through a direct process, ensuring a level playing field for all aspirants. This pronouncement effectively dispels any insinuation that a preferred candidate has been pre-selected or anointed.


It is against this backdrop that the persistent claims by Hon. Chibueze Ofobuike, suggesting that he has been endorsed or anointed by the Governor, must be critically examined and, indeed, dismissed. Such assertions do not only misrepresent the Governor’s stated position but also undermine the integrity of the party’s democratic process. Leveraging proximity, real or perceived, to project inevitability is neither a credible campaign strategy nor a reflection of grassroots support.


Political contests are not won by association, but by acceptance.


Experience has shown that posturing, embellishment, and political theatrics often unravel when confronted with verifiable facts. The truth remains constant: no aspirant has been officially endorsed by the Governor or the party leadership for the Aguata Federal Constituency race.


Accordingly, party faithful and the wider electorate in Aguata are urged to disregard claims rooted in name-dropping and political insinuation. The forthcoming primary election presents an opportunity for members to freely and fairly choose their preferred candidate.


Party leaders at the ward and local government levels, as well as all eligible APGA members, should be guided by this principle: the power to decide rests with the people. Aspirants should be evaluated on their personalities, track records, impact on people's lives and the communities, and their capacity to effectively represent Aguata Federal Constituency, not on purported proximity to power.


In the end, the ballot, not borrowed names, will determine the outcome.

Court Stops Fresh INC Election, Clears Way for Swearing-In of New Executives


The High Court of Justice, Warri Judicial Division, Delta State, has affirmed the outcome of the recent Ijaw National Congress (INC) election and restrained attempts to disrupt the inauguration of newly elected national officers.


Justice Anthony Olotu Akpovi delivered the ruling on Friday, May 8, 2026, while dismissing a preliminary objection filed by the first defendant, HRM King Bubaraye Dakolo Agada IV, in Suit No. W/125/2026.


The suit was instituted by High Chief Macdonald E. Igbadiwei Esq. on behalf of the newly elected INC National Executive against several defendants, including INC President, Prof. Benjamin Ogele Okaba, and members of the 2026 Electoral Committee.


The claimant had approached the court seeking an interlocutory injunction to prevent any interference with the swearing-in of officials elected during the April 13, 2026 INC national election pending the determination of the substantive matter.


In his ruling, Justice Akpovi held that the case was properly filed before the Delta State High Court and rejected claims that the claimant engaged in forum shopping.


The court noted that no valid court order existed restraining the conduct of the election or the inauguration of the elected officers.


Justice Akpovi further ruled that the urgency of the matter arose from alleged plans to obstruct the swearing-in ceremony, stressing that any grievances arising from the election must follow lawful judicial procedures.


The court consequently granted the claimant’s application for interlocutory injunction, restraining the defendants from disrupting the inauguration or conducting another election pending the final determination of the suit.


The judge also directed security agencies, including the Nigeria Police Force, to maintain peace and ensure adequate security during the swearing-in ceremony.


In addition, the court clarified that the constitution of the INC does not limit inauguration ceremonies to Bayelsa State alone, stating that such activities could legally hold in Rivers or Delta States.


The matter was adjourned for accelerated hearing, with the court fixing May 29 and June 29, 2026, for further proceedings.

Appeal Court Ruling, Don’t Escalate Tensions, CSOs Tell SERAP 


Civil Society Organisations, CSOs, have urged the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project, SERAP, to seek redress through the courts rather than escalate tensions following a recent judgment of the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja.


The groups said while parties reserve the right to disagree with court decisions, the proper channel remains the appellate process, warning that sustained public reactions could erode trust in the judiciary and inflame the political atmosphere.


Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Friday, Ambassador Dr Duke Alamboye, National Secretary of Nigerian Youths in Politics and convener of the National Security Summit for the Green Assembly Initiative and Nigerian Youth Organisations, said the call became necessary after the May 5, 2026 ruling involving SERAP and officials of the Department of State Services.


He noted that the court, presided over by Justice Yusuf Halilu, found certain publications linked to a September 2024 incident involving alleged unlawful invasion of SERAP’s office to be defamatory, awarding damages and ordering public apologies alongside post-judgment interest.


“As Civil Society Organisations committed to the rule of law, constitutionalism, and democratic accountability, we acknowledge the authority of the judiciary as the final arbiter in disputes of this nature.


“We therefore reaffirm the importance of respecting court decisions, regardless of individual or institutional dissatisfaction, and of pursuing any legal remedies strictly through established appellate processes where necessary,” he said.


Alamboye expressed concern over SERAP’s public reaction to the ruling, stating that continued statements rejecting the judgment rather than pursuing appeal could heighten tensions.


While we recognise the right of any party to express disagreement, we strongly believe that continued issuance of highly charged public statements at this stage risks escalating tensions and may inadvertently undermine public confidence confidence in judicial processes,” he added.


He added that sustained media narratives around ongoing litigation could be misinterpreted by the public and strain institutional trust, including perceptions about judicial independence and the conduct of security agencies.


Also speaking, Executive Director of the Coalition of Patriotic Youth Leaders, Comrade Rikki Nwajiofor, stressed the need to protect the judiciary as a cornerstone of democracy.


He warned that politicising judicial outcomes could deepen divisions, especially in a sensitive political period, and urged all parties to avoid inflammatory statements.What we call a simple call is, Sarah, please, take further judicial process. Appeal.”


Nwajiofor said the group was not taking sides but was focused on preserving democratic institutions and ensuring that disputes are resolved through lawful means.


The CSOs followed the press conference with a protest at Eagle Square to reaffirm the need for SERAP to seek for appeal rather than creating tension on social media.

RED CYCLE: "Silent" Health Crisis Of Menstrual Stigma Set To Stop As NGO Holds Community Awareness, Football Match and Hygiene Summit 



In a country where millions of young women are forced to choose between their education and their dignity, a revolutionary tide is finally rising. The Odira Humanity Foundation, in a strategic powerhouse partnership with Afri-Vast Consulting and Innovations Limited, has officially pulled back the curtain on "RedCycle 2026"—a national crusade designed to shatter the "silent" health crisis of menstrual stigma that has sidelined Nigerian girls for generations. This isn't just another charitable gesture; it is a calculated, high-octane strike against the systemic barriers that lead to missed school days and diminished self-worth, aligning directly with global UN goals for gender equality and health.


The movement is set to reach a fever pitch on May 25–26, 2026, at the MO Arena in Abuja, timed to coincide with World Menstrual Hygiene Day. The first day, dubbed "Active Bodies, Healthy Cycles," will turn the arena into a hub of energy and advocacy. From high-energy aerobics to a star-studded celebrity football match between "Team Celestials" and "Team Safeguard," the event uses the universal language of sport to normalize a natural cycle. Most crucially, the day will see the massive distribution of sanitary kits to 5,000 women and girls, providing the immediate, tangible support needed to keep them in the classroom and on the field.


The momentum shifts from the pitch to the podium on day two with the "Menstrual Well-being Summit." Under the theme "From Awareness to Action: Policy, Practice, and Well-being," the summit will host intense policy dialogues and keynote sessions designed to turn advocacy into law and corporate responsibility. Attendees won’t just be listening; they’ll have direct access to gynecologists and therapists for free consultations, bridging a healthcare gap that has existed for decades. This two-day blitz is the culmination of a rigorous roadmap that begins with partner onboarding in January and a massive public mobilization campaign across schools and social media throughout the spring.


As RedCycle moves from the planning stages into the spotlight, the message to corporate Nigeria and the global community is clear: the time for "hush-hush" conversations is over. By integrating sports, education, and professional medical guidance, RedCycle is building a sustainable ecosystem where every girl can flourish without apology. This is more than a proposal; it is a promise of a future where menstruation is no longer a barrier to greatness, but a celebrated mark of health and life.

Working People United Seek Youth Support for President Tinubu’s 2027 Re-election Bid*


As the 2027 general elections begin to loom on the political horizon, the non-profit organization Working People United has officially called for a massive mobilization of support to secure a second term for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. 


The appeal was made during a high-profile courtesy visit to the National Youth Organization of Nigeria on Tuesday, May 5, 2026, signaling an early start to strategic alliances ahead of the next polls.


Addressing the gathering, the National President of Working People United, Comrade Prince Williams Eniredonana Akporeha, characterized the initiative as a historic platform dedicated to amplifying the voices of the nation’s working class. 


He emphasized that the group’s mission is to bridge the gap between government reforms and the citizenry, ensuring that the structural changes currently being implemented translate into tangible benefits for the most vulnerable members of society. Akporeha noted that while the administration’s economic reforms have introduced temporary challenges, they are essential for long-term prosperity. 


He pointed to grassroots policies aimed at improving social amenities and economic opportunities for small-scale entrepreneurs as evidence that the current leadership is laying a foundation for a stronger national economy.


Looking toward the 2027 political cycle, Akporeha stated that the movement intends to play a decisive role in sustaining the progress made under the present administration. 


He outlined a goal to mobilize millions of workers, artisans, farmers, and professionals to back the continuation of policies designed to rebuild national institutions. 


He further cautioned Nigerians against the politics of misinformation and empty promises, urging a shift toward responsible citizenship and constructive dialogue.


In his response, Dr. Duke Alamboye, the President of the National Youth Organization and Convener of the Green Assembly Initiative, provided a candid assessment of the youth perspective. 


He reminded the delegation that young people account for over 65 percent of the voting population but have historically felt neglected and disillusioned. 


Dr. Alamboye stressed that Nigerian youths are yearning for good governance and leadership that moves beyond rhetoric to activate genuine youth participation in decision-making processes. 


Despite these concerns, he pledged that his leadership would collaborate with Working People United to ensure the right candidates are elected in 2027. 


He acknowledged that a four-year term is often insufficient to fully reverse a nation’s fortunes, expressing a belief that the Tinubu administration is making a sincere effort to fulfill its promises.


Supporting this sentiment, Dr. Felix Idowu, Chairman of the National Working Committee of Youths In Politics, advocated for a more inclusive political landscape where young people occupy significant leadership positions. 


He affirmed the commitment of his organization to support the objectives of Working People United in the lead-up to the elections. 


The event was attended by several notable figures, including the Queen Mother of Nigerian Youths, Mrs. Juliet Bunmi Alli, alongside Moses of Africa, WPU National Treasurer Mr. Woke Olamite, and WPU Programs Coordinator Dr. Ibiseri, all of whom underscored the importance of a united front for Nigeria’s future development.

Senator representing Gombe Central Senatorial District, Senator Muhammad Danjuma Goje, has rejected the consensus arrangement adopted by the Gombe State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC).


Daily Trust reports that stakeholders of the party had during a meeting on Sunday presided over by Governor Yahaya anointed DCP Mohammed Ahmadu Deba (Rtd) as the APC’s consensus candidate for Goje’s seat.


However, in a statement issued by his aide, Barr. Saidu Muazu Kumo, Senator Goje, who is seeking a record fifth term at the Senate, said the purported consensus meeting involved only Governor Yahaya and a limited number of aspirants, “and did not include all duly recognized aspirants within the party.”


According to him, the provisions of the Electoral Act has clearly stipulated two lawful methods for the nomination of candidates by political parties for submission to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.


“These methods must be strictly adhered to in order to ensure legality and transparency in the electoral process.


“It is further noteworthy that across the various electoral constituencies, several aspirants have validly purchased their Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms, and were not participants in the said consensus arrangement held at the Government House,” he added.


Barr. Kumo added that in accordance with the extant electoral framework, the nomination process shall be conducted through direct primary elections, which are to be duly monitored by INEC and relevant security agencies, and in a date to slated by the party.


He stated that any form of imposition of candidates by political parties is inconsistent with, and contrary to, the provisions of the current electoral laws in Nigeria.
