The national vice chairman of African Democratic Congress (ADC) in charge of North Central zone, Senator Tunde Ogbeha, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will be defeated both in Kogi State and Nigeria in the 2027 election.

Ogbeha, who was delighted with the crowd that attended the unveiling of ADC in Kogi East on Saturday at Anyigba in Dekina local government area of Kogi State, assured that the coalition would work to secure the future of Kogi state and Nigeria at large.

“With what I have seen here today, it gives me great pleasure that ADC will no doubt secure the future of Kogi east and by extension the future of Kogi as a state.

“Kogi East has the number and we are happy that our party, ADC, has your support. Therefore, we will not have any reason not to change the narrative of the state and that of the country.

“In the last two years hunger, poverty and insecurity among others have ravaged our country and we must change that narrative and move from poverty to prosperity, and the only party that can bring prosperity to this nation is ADC.

“Our party does not require a third party from any part of the world to come and tell us how to secure our country. ADC will secure the country in the best way possible. We feel your pains and we know your desires and our party will provide your desires for you,” he stated.

While urging members and supporters of the party to remain steadfast with ADC, the national vice chairman assured that ADC will win the 2027 general elections even without money in Nigeria and in particular Kogi State.

“The next general elections will not only be for ADC, but for the people of Nigeria. The election will be between APC and the people of Nigeria and victory will certainly be ours. If we do not indulge in anti-party activities there is no reason why we can not dislodge APC in Kogi state and Nigeria at large.”

While urging ADC members and supporters to bear in mind that the task ahead is enormous, Ogbeha pointed out that the task ahead requires collective sacrifice, noting that the party may not have the money but has the people, saying that the people’s wish shall prevail in 2027.

He urged the youth and women in ADC to rise up and organize themselves to change the narrative for the betterment of their future and that of their children.

Earlier in his speech the ADC leader in Kogi east and former deputy governor, Simon Achuba, said the people of the eastern senatorial district of the state joined the coalition to change the existing anomalies in the governance of Kogi state and Nigeria.

“We have decided to adopt ADC to bring internal democracy to the party. ADC is a party that will prioritise the welfare, well being, justice and the unity of our people in Kogi state.

“Governance in Kogi state has been misplaced for long. Basic education, rural health among other basic infrastructure no longer exist in rural communities. Local government councils that suppose to address the needs of communities are no longer functioning, that is why ADC has come to effect positive change” he stated.

Also in his speech, the Kogi State chairman of ADC, Mr Kinsley Temitope Ogah, assured that the party will produce the next president of Nigeria and called for the unity of members of the party in Kogi State.

The ADC leader in Kogi west and former Secretary to Kogi State Government, Alhaji Musa Ahmadu, in his goodwill message, said if members can work together as one without any sentiment, Kogi state and Nigeria would become great again.

“We should not have doubt about this coalition. This is how APC took governance of the nation from PDP. If we are determine this coalition will be possible and it will come as a surprise to Nigerians,” he stated.

Also in his goodwill message, the deputy national welfare secretary of ADC, Mr David Itopa, who spoke on behalf of the people of Kogi central said “the crowd I have seen here today has shown that the people of Kogi East are determined to take over the leadership of the state.”

He noted that ADC is the party of the youth and women and urged them to work hard so that the party can be victorious come 2027.

“APC has become grossly incompetent and has put the country’s development on reverse gear. The people are no longer safe, our children’s education is jeopardy. This can’t continue,” he said.

‘Are your parents proud of you doing thuggery at 50’ – Pat Utomi slams youths working for politicians

Published

A professor of political economy, Pat Utomi, has sent a message to young Nigerians working as political thugs for politicians.

In a post on his verified X handle on Saturday, Utomi said corrupt politicians of feeding young thugs with crumbs while they continue to profit from the chaos they create in their neighbourhoods.

He asked the thugs if their parents would be proud of them doing dirty jobs for the politicians.

“To every young man doing agbero (thuggery) work for corrupt politicians, I want you to sit down and ask yourself an important question, Is this what you will still be doing at 50? Are your parents proud of what you are doing?

“These corrupt politicians will feed you crumbs while continuing to profit from the chaos they are creating in your neighbourhoods,” Utomi wrote.

The political economist warned youths not to allow themselves to be used as instruments of destruction ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“Come 2027, please do not allow yourself to become an instrument of destruction in these men’s hands. You deserve better,” he warned.

The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, and the national leader of the party, Seriake Dickson were spotted on Friday using a colourful boat regatta to campaign in Bayelsa State.

The event, which was held in Yenagoa, turned into a carnival as hundreds of boats decorated with party flags sailed across the creek, with supporters chanting Obi’s name.

Peter Obi, who arrived with Dickson, mounted one of the lead boats and waved to the crowd that gathered at the waterfront.

Speaking at the regatta, Obi said the NDC represents a new movement to rescue Nigeria, and that Bayelsa being a riverine state deserves special attention.

“We are not just campaigning, we are connecting with the people in their own environment. The people of Bayelsa live on water, so we must meet them on water,” Obi said.

On his part, Dickson said the boat regatta shows that the NDC has grassroots support in the Niger Delta.

“This is not Abuja politics. This is the real people, the Ijaw people, showing their strength. With boats, we will sail to victory,” Dickson said.

It was reports that the boat regatta is a traditional Ijaw cultural display.

Supporters of the NDC said the use of a boat regatta is strategic, as it shows respect for Bayelsa culture while pushing their political message.

Videos of the boat regatta have since gone viral on social media, with many Nigerians praising Obi for going into the creeks to campaign.

Insecurity: I will go into the bush and rescue kidnap victims if elected – Peter Obi

Published

By

The Presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi, has vowed to go into forests on rescue mission if elected president in 2027, declaring that his administration would not tolerate kidnapping and insecurity.

Obi made the promise while addressing supporters during a campaign rally in Bayelsa State, where he pledged to make the country safe for Nigerians to travel and go about their daily activities without fear.

He said his administration would begin by uniting the country and ensuring that no region or group felt excluded from the Nigerian project.

“We will make Nigeria work. We will make Nigeria a place where people will live. We will secure Nigeria. Nobody will live in Nigeria where you can’t travel on the road again,” he said.

Obi cited his recent road trips across several states as evidence of the urgent need to improve security on the country’s highways.

“I came to Bayelsa this morning from Enugu by road; I moved around Nigeria by road. On Tuesday, I was in Lokoja; on Wednesday, I was in Akwanga; yesterday, I was in Ebonyi, and today I am in Bayelsa. Our roads must be secured,” he said.

The former Anambra State governor also criticised President Bola Tinubu for what he described as the President’s failure to visit Bayelsa State despite its contribution to the country’s economy through oil production.

He questioned the President’s frequent foreign trips, arguing that he should pay more attention to engagement with Nigerians across the country.

“This is a state where Nigeria discovered oil. This is a state where we get money we share, and the President said he will not come here to campaign,” Obi said.

“Our President has travelled out of the country for over 200 days, sometimes 260 days, but he will not come to Bayelsa for one day, and he wants you to vote for him.”

On the security situation, Obi pledged that an NDC-led government would take decisive action against kidnappers, particularly those targeting schoolchildren and other vulnerable Nigerians.

“NDC will secure Nigeria under our government. If anybody takes schoolchildren, if anybody kidnaps anybody, I will go into the bush. We will go into that bush and rescue the person. Nobody will try that in our government,” he declared.

Obi also promised to tackle corruption, insisting that public funds would be managed transparently and deployed for the benefit of citizens.

He said an NDC government would prioritise education, electricity and other essential services, adding that basic education would be free through collaboration with state governments.

“They say if you fight corruption, corruption will fight you back. And I’m telling you, under the NDC, you run away. You will not fight back because we will use public money for public good,” he said.

“Under NDC, your children will be in school; there will be classrooms. We will work with the states to ensure that basic education, which is primary, will be free.”

On electricity, Obi pledged that his administration would work towards producing, transmitting and distributing at least 10,000 megawatts of electricity.

“We will produce, transmit and distribute a minimum of 10,000 megawatts of electricity. The minimum we have today under APC is 4,000,” he said.
