FEATURE: Senatorial Election, Litmus Test For Gov. Okpebholo and 3.5M votes promised - Implications and impact of Direct Primary Vs consesus, Written by:  Esezobor Izibili, Esq.  Events are gradually climbing to crescendo with respect to the upcoming 2027 Presidential election, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s directive, tacitly asking Senatorial aspirants to go to their Governors for endorsement, has shifted power from the National Working Committee, NWC to the state Governors, and Re-enacted a Direct Primary in line with the Electoral Act.

Tenebe could deprive Tinubu from winning Edo election By Tony Erha Edo State governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, had often declared that the state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will deliver 3.5 million winning votes for the reelection bid of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in the 2026 Edo presidential election.

But, many observers of Edo slippery politics believe that it was too early to predict Tinubu's...

  OPINION: A Critical Response to the Removal of Certificate Forgery as Grounds for Election Petitions. By: Tony Ewaleifoh Introduction “Animal Farm, oh Animal Farm…”—a poetic warning that power, once unchecked, rewrites its own rules. The reported removal of certificate forgery as a ground for election petitions represents more than a legislative adjustment. It signals a dangerous shift in Nigeria’s democratic philosophy—from truth as a foundation to truth as a negotiable element. Legitimacy Without Integrity: Democracy is not sustained by ballots alone. It is sustained by trust. When individuals can ascend to power under questionable or falsified credentials—and citizens are stripped of the legal means to challenge them—the system ceases to function as a mechanism of accountability. Instead, it becomes a structure that protects outcomes, regardless of process. The Rise of Untouchable Leadership When truth is no longer enforceable, a new class of leadership emerge—one insulated fr...
