 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. Barrister Sly Ezeokenwa made the commitment following the *signing of the First National Peace Accord, which commits political parties and candidates* to conducting their campaigns in a peaceful, responsible and issue-driven manner. According to the APGA National Chairman, the signing of the Accord goes beyond a formal ceremony or the endorsement of a document. It represents a solemn reminder of the kind of politics Nigeria deserves—politics anchored on ideas, mutual respect, peaceful competition and the collective interest of the Nigerian people. He stressed that the Mission Statement of the National Peace Committee reinforces the principle that free, fair and credible elections remain the bedrock of peace, stability and national dev...

  To the Good People of Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Mbaise Federal Constituency, A new political season is approaching, and with it comes an opportunity to renew our collective conversation about the kind of representation, leadership and development we desire for our people. As the 2027 elections draw closer, the message of quality, purposeful and people-centred representation must not remain confined to social media, posters and political gatherings. It must travel from community to community, from ward to ward, and ultimately reach every home in Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Mbaise Federal Constituency. This is the time to go GRASSROOTS. The emergence of Hon. Nduka Anyanwu as the APGA candidate for the House of Representatives represents an opportunity to begin a new conversation about leadership that listens, engages and prioritises the development of its people. His vision is anchored on the belief that effective representation should go beyond legislation and political presence. It should translat...

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...

The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has directed Commissioners of Police across the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory to treat cases of jungle justice as homicide and ensure the arrest and prosecution of perpetrators of mob action. IGP Disu gave the directive while speaking on a live television programme on African Independent Television on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. He said mob action and jungle justice violated victims’ rights to life, dignity and fair hearing, stressing that such acts had no place in a country governed by the rule of law. The IGP described jungle justice as murder, insisting that it was not justice but a criminal act that violated the fundamental rights of victims. He said, “Let me state clearly, without ambiguity: jungle justice is murder. It is not justice. It is a crime, and the Nigeria Police Force will treat it as such. It is illegal. Full stop. “Nigeria operates under the rule of law, not mob rule. No citizen, co...

As we approach the 2027 General Elections, I call on every young Nigerian to move beyond being spectators and become active participants in every stage of the electoral process.

I urge our youths to seek credible information, verify facts, make informed political choices and reject vote buying, violence, hate speech, intimidation and misinformation.
