Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano have contributed a total of N50 million towards the purchase of nomination forms for Bola Tinubu ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The contribution was announced at a stakeholders’ meeting held at the Coronation Hall of the Kano Government House, where participants also adopted the President as the party’s sole presidential candidate for the upcoming polls.

Among those listed as part of the initiative were Kano State Governor, Abba Kabir Yusu, and a former governor of the state, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, alongside other party leaders.

According to a statement issued by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mustapha Muhammad, the meeting brought together key stakeholders who reaffirmed their commitment to the continuity of Tinubu’s administration.

A motion for the President’s adoption was moved by Rabiu Sulaiman Bichi and received unanimous backing from participants.

Speaking at the meeting, the Kano State APC Chairman, Umar Haruna Doguwa, said the state chapter had initially planned to fully fund the nomination forms but later agreed on a collective contribution.

“We have agreed to contribute the sum of N50 million towards the purchase of the expression of interest and nomination forms for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu,” he said.

Stakeholders noted that the endorsement reflected their confidence in the President’s leadership and ongoing reforms, as well as their determination to secure victory for the party in 2027.

The meeting also adopted Governor Yusuf as the party’s sole governorship candidate in Kano State, a move described as part of efforts to strengthen unity within the party ahead of the elections.

June 12: MKO Abiola refused to sell presidential mandate to Abacha – Oshiomhole

Published

on

Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomhole, has said that the late MKO Abiola refused to sell his presidential mandate to the late former military Head of State, Sani Abacha.

Oshiomhole disclosed this during a lecture on June 12 titled “June 12 and Beyond,” which focused on the development of democracy and security issues.

The event took place in Akure, the capital of Ondo State.

Oshiomhole said he was part of a group from the Nigeria Labour Congress that met with Abacha in Abuja after the June 12 election was canceled.

“General Abacha told us he was ready to tolerate anything and do anything for MKO Abiola.

“The one thing he was not ready to tolerate was the idea that Abiola had proclaimed himself President of Nigeria,” Oshiomhole said.

He said that even though there was pressure from government officials and middlemen, Abiola would not give up the responsibility given to him by the people of Nigeria.

“He told those who sent us that he was elected President of Nigeria and would not sell the mandate entrusted to him by the Nigerian people,” he said.

Oshiomhole said Abiola’s actions showed bravery, love for his country, and putting others before himself.

He pointed out that Abiola didn’t give in and stood firm, even though many Nigerians had voted for him and made big sacrifices.

The senator encouraged young Nigerians to learn from June 12, calling Abiola a symbol of unity who won in a way that went beyond differences in ethnicity and religion.

Oshiomhole noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is committed to speeding up changes to the constitution in order to create state police forces.

“The President is really committed to moving quickly and getting the state police amendment passed.

“He has clearly told us to get it done, but he can’t just make it happen on his own,” he said.

June 12: Nigeria not celebrating true democracy, only electoral processes – Udenta

Published

on

A political analyst and founding National Secretary of Alliance for Democracy, Prof Udenta Udenta, says Nigeria is not celebrating true democracy.

Fielding questions in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Friday, Udenta stated that Nigeria is only celebrating electoral processes.

He was speaking as the nation marked the 27th anniversary of uninterrupted democracy.

“Nigeria is not celebrating true democracy but electoral processes. What we now have, as I said, is the tipping of the form of democracy. We don’t have literal interventions.

“We are celebrating with the president 27 years of an uninterrupted march of democracy. That’s not democracy marching, that’s electoral processes matching.

“Democracy is not just about legalism; it is about legitimacy. While we may have stability in terms of democratic order, there is an emptiness in the substance of democracy, as people are increasingly hungry and overwhelmed by despair and discontent.

“Today in Nigeria, we are facing one of the worst cost-of-living crises in a generation,” he said.

June 12: Disagree, criticize me, but don’t stop believing in Nigeria – Tinubu

Published

on

President Bola Tinubu has called on Nigerians never to stop believing in the country even while criticising and disagreeing with him.

Tinubu made this call on Friday during his nationwide broadcast to mark the 27 anniversary of Nigeria’s uninterrupted democracy.

According to him, democracy fails when citizens doubt the process, describing the National Assembly, judiciary, the press, and civil society as the guardrails of Nigeria.

“Criticise me, disagree with me, but never stop believing in the nation.

“To our young people, Nigeria is your home and your future. Build here, work here, and eat here. Every great nation was built by those who stayed to solve problems, but not by those who abandoned ship.

“To our forces, police, and intelligence services, Nigeria salutes your sacrifices. To our traditional rulers, faith leaders, and community heads, thank you for your support of peace and reconciliation,” Tinubu said.
