He underscored the role of tradition...

 By: Nduka Anyanwu  The National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Barrister Sly Ezeokenwa, has reaffirmed the party’s commitment to peaceful, issue-based and credible political campaigns ahead of the 2027 General Elections.

By: Lanre Olagunju Nigeria has a peculiar relationship with election security. We ask the police to keep politicians from fighting, then spend the election complaining about which side the police are fighting for. That contradiction will be tested again on Saturday in Osun. The question is not whether the Nigeria Police Force can deploy enough men and women to the state. It is whether, after the votes are counted, both sides can honestly say the police behaved like a referee rather than a participant. That is a much harder test. IGP Olatunji Disu appears to understand that the real work began long before election day. On 3 July, he went to Osun against the backdrop of escalating political violence, meeting Governor Ademola Adeleke and subsequently engaging political parties, traditional rulers, leadership from the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) – whose influence extends to a constituency often at the centre of political mobilisation –  and other stakeholders. He w...
