Human rights activist and lawyer, Dele Farotimi, has dismissed suggestions of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan returning to frontline politics, insisting that no leader can fix Nigeria without addressing its deep-rooted structural problems.

Reacting to reports of Jonathan’s possible re-emergence ahead of the 2027 elections during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily yesterday, Farotimi said leadership changes alone would not solve the country’s challenges.

“A thousand Goodluck Ebele Jonathans cannot solve the problems of Nigeria. They might as well go ahead to increase his brain powers by factors of a thousand for good measure. If we do not address our structural problems and tell ourselves the basic truths we owe to ourselves, nothing is going to change,” he stated.

Farotimi noted that Jonathan was once heavily criticised and removed amid promises of a better Nigeria, yet the same issues persist.

“They can recycle all these people as many times as they care. This was the same Jonathan that was horribly vilified and labelled. The press, the pulpit, and the mosque all said his removal would solve our problems, and here we are,” he said.

He stressed that the nation’s problems transcend individuals, warning that removing current President Bola Tinubu without reforming the system would only perpetuate failure.

“If you removed Bola Ahmed Tinubu from office today, and you do not touch that evil system that has produced the kind of people who have ruined the country, all this talk about Goodluck Ebele Jonathan is just more distraction from the political ‘ruinning’ class,” Farotimi argued.

The activist emphasised the need for institution-building rather than seeking a political “messiah.”

“It’s about building enduring systems. How do you rebrand a failure of 2015 into a saint and saviour in 2025? Ten years have gone full cycle, and we’re back saying we were better off where we were,” he added.

The Non-resigned National Executive Committee of the ADC, of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, has said leaders like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rauf Aregbesola and others are welcomed into the party but must formally resign from previous parties.

The NEC said that the new entrants must also register as ADC members at ward levels in home states in line with the regulations of the Electoral Act 2022.

According to them, failure to comply with the rules, the politicians risk legal challenges that will undermine the coalition’s credibility.

The Non-resigned National Executive Committee of the ADC, called for calm among party members over the heated debate associated with the position of its National Chairmanship.

In a press briefing in Abuja on Monday, the party hailed its outgoing National Chairman, Chief Ralph Okey Nwosu, for what they described as his visionary leadership.

The NEC also affirmed Nafiu Bala, its former Deputy National Chairman, as the legitimate Acting National Chairman.

The party rejected what it described as unconstitutional takeover attempts, adding, “We denounce recent efforts to install parallel leadership.

“The purported ‘resignation letter’ of Nafiu Bala (dated May 18, 2025) is confirmed fraudulent, lacking official ADC letterhead and contradicted by Nwosu’s July 2 statement,” they said.

“We welcome leaders like Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, and Rauf Aregbesola and others but we emphasize formal resignation from previous parties must be documented.

“Registration at ward levels in home states is mandatory per the Electoral Act.

“Failure to comply risks legal challenges and undermines coalition credibility.

“Hon. Nafiu Bala will oversee daily operations and prepare for a National Convention within 90 days. “We will seek INEC’s formal endorsement of Bala’s acting chairmanship and litigate counterfeit documents.

“It call on its members to report irregularities to the NWC Secretariat and pphold Article 9.5 which says that “No non-member shall hold office.”

A former Presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, has faulted the rotational presidency debate in the country.

The human rights activist stated this in an appearance on the Tuesday edition of Channels Television’s breakfast show, Sunrise Daily.

Sowore said the country should be interested in a president who will run Nigeria better, irrespective of his region.

“If I have a good president in Nigeria who can run this country very well, I don’t care where he comes from.

“That is what the majority of the Nigerian people are aspiring for. That is the idea of this federation that all the federating units should be able to have an opportunity.

“When you zone it to the north, the majority of the northerners would want to take a shot at it. When you zone it back to the south, the south of Nigeria is not Yoruba or Igbo alone. It is just senseless,” he said.

Sowore said that every presidential hopeful should be given a chance, adding that certain parameters like qualifications, manifestos, among others, should be considered, rather than the person’s geo-political zone.

He added, “Zoning the presidency to the worst character in the country is not going to make you get anywhere.

“Give everybody a chance. That is why they said, ‘Come and contest for president, governor, local government chairman, and present your agenda, speak to us, and we will look at your character, exposure, and vote for you’.”

Aisha Yesufu, a former co-convener of BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, has affirmed that a member of the opposition coalition, Peter Obi would only be President for one term if elected.

Yesufu disclosed that Obi affirmed his position of one term presidency to her personally.

She said the former Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate has always drawn inspiration from South African Nelson Mandela regarding the issue of one term presidency.

Posting on X, she recalled telling Obi during the campaign for the 2023 presidential election that Nigerians won’t allow him do just one term in office as President.

Yesufu wrote: “I, Aisha Yesufu can confirm that Mr Peter Gregory Obi has always said he would do just a term even before the 2023 election. I used to argue with him that one term is not enough and he can’t just refuse to contest.

“Infact I told him on several occasions while we were campaigning in 2022 that the people will not allow him to do just a term. He would use Nelson Mandela as example. He would explain that if one was ready to really work that a term was more than enough.

“I told him that I was going to speak of his promise to do one term only publicly and I needed his confirmation on doing a term as my integrity mattered to me and I wouldn’t want to say something and it turns out not to be so.

“Mr Peter Obi once again gave me his word that he was going to do only one term.

Ahead of the 2025 Anambra governorship election, the Labour Party candidate, Dr. George Moghalu, and his running mate, Mrs. IfeomaOkaro, have appointed Hon. AfamOgene as the party’s Director of Media and Publicity.
This strategic appointment comes as part of a broader team of seasoned technocrats, politicians, professionals, and grassroots mobilizers who will spearhead the party’s campaign efforts leading up to the November 8, 2025 election.
Rep Ogene, member of the House of Representatives and chairman of the Committee on Renewable Energy, is a seasoned journalist, editor and member, Nigeria Guild of Editors (NGE).
The lawmaker, representing Ogbaru Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, stated in Awka on Tuesday that the Labour Party campaigns will focus on issues, “in the earnest hope that our co-contenders will abide by the same code of behaviour.”
Announcing the appointments on Monday in Awka, the Director General of the campaign organisation, Arch. OkeyChukwuogo, described the newly constituted council as a “broad-based team with the competence and commitment to deliver a people-centered, issue-driven campaign that reflects the hopes and aspirations of ndi Anambra.”
Referencing the ongoing conversation about candidates that pledged to serve only one term in office – which Governor Charles Soludo of Anambra had dismissed derisively – Rep. Ogene noted that the candidates do so out of deference to the widely accepted governorship arrangement in Anambra State.
He stated that this was, “Unlike Soludo, who was a serial governorship aspirant, including against an incumbent, until he was elected governor in 2021.”
The LP campaign spokesperson emphasized that a second term in office is not an entitlement, but rather earned through the people’s vote, following a critical appraisal of a first term’s performance.
“So, instead of haranguing opponents through sophistry, Soludo and his Party should be busy telling ndi Anambra what their scorecard reads, to warrant a second term in office.
“And just in case they have forgotten what the November 8, 2025 Anambra governorship election is all about, a quick reminder would suffice,” Ogene said.
Ogene: “The next election will be a referendum on such key issues as, security of lives and property; attraction of investments, foreign and indigenous; emotional intelligence in governance; and equity in government appointments and spread of infrastructure. And I can tell you that Prof. Soludo, who gleefully promised to turn Anambra into Africa Dubai and Taiwan, has failed woefully in all fronts.
“On security, after sleep-walking for three years, the Governor Soludo administration woke up one morning to announce the creation of Udogachi security apparatus. Devoid of any form of formal training, the hoopla over it’s creation lasted barely two months, before the state relapsed into a killing field, with banditry, kidnapping and assassination taking full rein. The thugs he hired to fight insecurity have brazenly become terrors to the very people they were supposed to protect, unleashing unimaginable cruelty with their ‘Aka odo’, weapon of impunity, pain and blood.
“Under his watch, no fewer than two State Assembly members (including Hon. Justice Azuka and another former member, Hon. OkechukwuOkoye, member that represented Aguata 11 Constituency in Anambra state Assembly, who was abducted in 2022, along with his personal aide just as he was entering his house in his Isuofia village in Aguata local government area.They were killed. Okoye’s severed head was later found somewhere at Nnobi where it was dumped.
“The latest incident was the son of the State Woman Leader of Governor Soludo’s party. In fact, the grim crime statistics of Anambra is so horrendous, that no day passes without one incident of kidnapping, banditry or killing in the State.
“On investment, of course, since security is ancillary to business growth, the Dr. George Muoghalu Organization hereby urges Governor Soludo to release a list of investments that he has attracted to the state over the last three years.
“Concerning emotional intelligence, the condescending manner of our Governor’s public utterances can only be equated with the crude deployment of ndi Aka odo to Anambra streets and parks,” the LP lawmaker said.
Also included in the campaign team are eminent professionals such as Barrister CJ OkoliAkirika, who will lead the Administration Directorate, while Prof. ObyOrogbu takes charge as Deputy Director in the Contact and Mobilisation unit.
Others include Hon. UchennaOkafor (Wiper) as Director of Parks and Markets; Prof. Patrick Nky Obi as Director of Support Groups and Persons with Disabilities; Barr. Jude Umennajiego and Dr. ObinnaNgonadi in Operations; and CP Mike Okoli (Rtd) as Director of Security.
“This council brings together some of Anambra’s best minds in law, media, strategy, grassroots mobilisation and governance,” Chukwuogo said. “We are assembling not just a campaign team, but a team of transformation.”

The Commissioner for Transport, Hon Emeka Okoronkwo, has expressed admiration for the Imo Digital City project, describing it as a ground breaking initiative that has the potential to employ over 300 youths, both skilled and unskilled, in the state.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), has cautioned political parties against early open campaigns for the 2027 General Election, describing it as a violation of the Electoral Act.

The Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman, MrRotimiOyekanmi, gave the advice in an interview in Abuja, while responding to a question about the current subtle campaigns and printing of posters going on in country ahead of the 2027 General election.

”Open campaigns are allowed before 150 days before polling day and must end 24 hours prior to that day.

“INEC has not released the timetable and schedule of activities for the 2027 General Elections. To that extent, party primaries have not been held and no political party has nominated candidates for the next general election.

“Section 94(1) of the Electoral Act 2022 stipulates that the period of campaigning in public by political parties for an election shall begin 150 days before polling day and end 24 hours prior to that day.

“Section 95 (1) of the Act also states clearly that a candidate and his or her party shall campaign for an election in accordance with such rules and regulations as may be determined by INEC,” he said.

The press secretary said that while Nigerians have the right and liberty to engage in political discussions and express their views on the next general election, any open campaign or canvassing votes for the 2027 general election was not only inappropriate but a violation of the electoral act.

He drew the attention of all political parties in Nigeria to the situation at the commission’s last quarterly consultative meeting, adding that INEC expects full compliance with the law.

Renowned author, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, has described Labour Party’s Peter Obi as a principled leader who is not motivated by ego or desperation for political power.

Speaking during an interview.

Adichie commended Obi for remaining consistent and humble despite facing criticism and the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.

“He doesn’t need to be president. He wants to be because he cares about Nigeria, but he doesn’t need to be. And that is a very important distinction.

“There are people who are desperate to become president, not because they have any good intentions for the country, but because of their own personal egos,” she said.

Adichie said her support for Obi stems from her love for Nigeria and admiration for his values, which she believes resonate with many citizens.

Reflecting on their longstanding relationship, she added, “He is one of the simplest men I have ever known. He is genuine and consistent. The person I knew 15 years ago is still the same in terms of his values.”

She further lauded Obi’s approach to leadership and public service, noting that he doesn’t expect praise for fulfilling his responsibilities.

She said, “Peter Obi is not a person who expects you to thank him for doing his job as a leader, because to him, it’s his job. These are the reasons I support him.

“There’s a sense, I think, in Peter Obi that he’s accountable to the people. He doesn’t think that somehow, he will lord it over people.

Primate Elijah Ayodele, leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has cautioned seven Nigerian governors about their second-term ambitions, stating that their return to office isn’t guaranteed.

The governors warned include: those of Akwa Ibom, Delta, Enugu, Cross River, Ondo, Kaduna, and Zamfara.

Primate Ayodele, in a statement signed by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, revealed that these governors will have issues actualising their second-term ambition, making it known that except they pray and do all that is needed.

“The governors of Akwa Ibom, Delta, Enugu, Cross River, Kaduna, Zamfara, and Ondo must work well to get a second term in office.

“It’s not certain for them except they work hard and pray. This is a hint of what they should be expecting.

“They need to work very well so that they won’t lose their second-term ambition,” he revealed.

Primate Ayodele also warned the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, to be careful and prayerful so that his second term as Senate President will not be traded.

“Senate President Godswill Akpabio must be very careful and prayerful to get a second term as Senate president. I see his position being traded; he must work very hard to avoid it.”

Likewise, Primate Ayodele revealed that prominent senators and members of the House of Representatives will not return for a second term, too, while warning Ned Nwoko of Delta against his governorship ambition, saying it’s not yet his time.

Imo State Governor and Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, Senator Hope Uzodimma has said President Bola Tinubu remains the candidate to beat in the forthcoming general elections.

The Imo State Governor made the declaration yesterday when he paid a courtesy visit to the All Progressives Congress National chairman, Professor NentaweYilwatda, at the party’s national secretariat.

He was accompanied by Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Ododo.

Responding to last Saturday’s outburst by former Kaduna State Governor, MallamNasir El-Rufai in Sokoto that a vote for Bola Tinubu in 2027 would court disaster for Nigerians, Senator Uzodimma dismissed it as a mere claim.

He said: “You called it a claim, it is their claim, not our claim. I know that there are only two parties in Nigeria, All Progressive Congress and Others.”

He said his visit to the party’s national secretariat was to seek an update on the e-registration exercise.

“We are here on a working visit. We came to monitor and evaluate the extent of the e-registration exercise, what has been done and we have inspected and conducted a trip round the facilities and we are highly impressed with what we saw and also confident that any moment from now our e-registration exercise will start in full force.”

The APC National Chairman who thanked Senator Uzodimma for the visit assured him and his Kogi counterpart that his leadership would sustain interface with the Forum of governors.

“You can see it, very cordial, very much so, we are exemplary. When it comes to APC, we are exemplary and you can see it in the way we conduct ourselves in the NEC, you can see how the Governors are relating with the party, you can see how the members are relating with the party, how we have made this party attractive to the people, attractive to the nation, attractive also to the Governors.”

The APC chairman also justified the investment in the party data centre and the e-registration exercise.

“So we are deepening our relationship every day and on this illustration, we are a leading party by far compared to any other political party and we want to ensure that we deepen technology, we ensure that we lead in all respects, in all ramifications and technology is one aspect that we are doing, so that we are leading also in that same respect, ensuring that we know the number of people are part of our own political party.

“We can actually know people who are going to vote for us, we can predict the number of people that are supporting us and deepen our base also in each state. “This is what we are doing, it will help us in research, it will help us in deepening technology, it will help our relationship in providing support for our members also at all levels.”

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu yesterday assented into law the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Bill, 2025, setting the stage for a reformed insurance landscape characterised by greater transparency, innovation, and global competitiveness.

The legislation aims to transform the financial sector and propel Nigeria closer to its $1 trillion economy ambition.

A statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, BayoOnanuga, in Abuja, explained that the new legislation would catalyse a wave of reform-led growth in the financial services sector, positioning Nigeria as a regional insurance powerhouse and key destination for industry investment.

Specifically, the new law, now known as the Nigerian Insurance Industry Reform Act (NIIRA), 2025, repeals and consolidates multiple obsolete insurance laws into a single, forward-looking framework.

It introduces a regulatory and supervisory regime for insurance and reinsurance businesses operating in the country.

Onanuga noted that the enactment of the NIIRA 2025 underscores the Tinubu administration’s commitment to financial stability, economic growth, and inclusive development, in line with its broader Renewed Hope Agenda.

The law sets the stage for a reformed insurance landscape characterised by greater transparency, innovation, and global competitiveness.

It is also expected to deepen insurance penetration, attract fresh investments, and strengthen consumer confidence in the sector.

Among the key reforms introduced by the NIIRA 2025 are: stricter capital requirements to ensure the financial health and solvency of insurance operators; mandatory enforcement of key insurance policies to enhance consumer protection; digitisation of insurance processes to expand access and drive operational efficiency; a zero-tolerance stance on delayed claims settlement, reinforcing trust and accountability; establishment of policyholder protection funds, especially in the event of insolvency; and deeper integration into regional schemes, including the ECOWAS Brown Card system.

The National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) is empowered to implement the provisions of the Act and ensure full compliance across the industry.

It is expected to play a pivotal role in unlocking the sector’s untapped potential and fostering a more inclusive insurance culture nationwide.

Methodist Archbishop of Okigwe Archdiocese, and Bishop of Okigwe Diocese, Most Rev. BiereonwuLivinusOnuagha, has declared that Mr Peter Obi becoming the next president of Nigeria will be the best thing to happen in Nigeria.

Archbishop Onuagha, however, noted that President Ahmed Bola Tinubu’s administration will be more acceptable to Nigeria than having a Northern man to become the president of the country when the Southern Nigeria has not completed its eight-year tenure of office like the Northerners had under late President Muhammadu Buhari.

The Methodist Archbishop said that it is the height of injustice for and North to begin to seek to occupy the office of the president when the Southern part of the country has not completed eight years like the North enjoyed under the late Buhari.

Onuagha who also stated that it is only Mr. Peter Obi that will bail Nigeria out of the wobbling situation it finds itself under the present administration but noted that Nigerians and Ndigbo in particular will prefer Tinubu to continue if Mr Obi fails to win the next presidential election.

Describing the fledgling political coalition in the African Democratic Congress,(ADC), as something that will not yield any fruit result if they fail to allow Mr Obi to be their presidential flag bearer, Archbishop Onuagha said that the greatest disservice the coalition will do to itself is have a Northerner as its flag bearer.

The Methodist Archbishop who expressed worry over the ambition of former Vice President AtikuAbubakar, said that the coalition will collapse if it fails to allow Mr Obi to be their party flagbearer.

And Dave Umahi call will be justified if Obi didn’t become their presidential flagbearer, and then I will urge Ndigbo and the Obedients to rally round Tinubu for second tenure.

“In fairness to the North, they have people who are qualified to rule Nigeria but fairness demands that they should step aside now and allow anybody will do better for the Southern extraction of the country or they allow Tonubu to complete his tenure.

“Nigeria does not need a Northerner to be the president now. What Nigeria need now is president from Southern extraction of the country. Nigerians should rather give total support to President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, if they cannot get Mr Peter Obi to rule the country.

“Do you know why am saying this, Igbo’s have never gotten the type of favour from Federal Government, like we have this time around. Yes that is being selfish, but it is the truth.

“However let’s talk about those who are formed the African Democratic Congress ADC, foremost among them is Malian Nasirh El’ Rufus, former Governor of Kaduna State, everybody know his antics and activities in the immediate past administration.

His administration encouragedfarmers herders clashes and you all know the Southern Kaduna crisis and his stand. Christian in the that state have a lot of nasty story to tell about their ordeal while his administration lasted.

“What is he even coming to do in power again.Is it because he lost power under the present administration. Tinubu did not give him any position and now he is seeking with other to remove him, so that they can start from where they stopped under immediate past administration.

“I believe the Igbo’s are safer in the hands of President Tinubu, than in the hands of the likes of El’ Rufai, and other Morthern cabal who have now teamed up to wrestle power out of the hands of President Tinubu.

“Whom did Tinubu succeed, was it not Buhari that handed over power to Tinubu, after spending eight years in office. How can one justify that after eight years, the North is asking for power, to return to the office of the president, that is total selfishness. That is total injustice and unacceptable. That is against the power sharing formula.

“For equity and fairness, Southern Nigerian should continue in office. In fairness to to the Southern extraction of Nigeria, it is either Obi is allowed to become the president or President Tinubu to continue to complete his eight years tenure of office for the Southern Nigeria, but total no to giving it to the North because it is not their turn.

“South East, South West, South South are Middle Belt are pat of this country they should be allowed to rule this country, one section of the country cannot continue to rule in the country, it is not done in any

part of the world. It cannot be allowed only in Nigeria. Nigerians should not allow certain thing to happen in this country, we cannot continue to be passive towards certain things that happen in the country.

“If Tinubu is not good, somebody else from Southern Nigeria should be elected instead of the Northernes who are trying to wrestle power out of the hands of President Tinubu, people like former Vice President of Nigeria, AlhajiAtikuAnubakar, El’ Rufai, David Mark and others should go home and sit down and allow the Southern Nigerian person to flag their flag, only by so doing there will be equity and fairness and their plan will be achieved.

“No doubt Nigerians are crying because of strict measures the present administration came up with, especially, the removal of Fuel Subsidy, but I think the Igbo’s are better in the hands of Tinubu.

The only thing the Igbo’s don’t like is the wickedness and selfishness that is happening in Lagos State, under Governor SanwoOlu. However, the people of Lagos know that Igbo’s are the dominating population in Lagos so whatever they are doing it is for the moment.

“It is unfortunate that Governor SanwoOlu, who’s mother is a Christian, a Methodist Christian …, we can’t understand why under his administration the Igbos are subjected to humiliations and he is watching, supporting and enjoying it.

Yes, Mr Peter Obi our own brother is also in the coalition, When we talk about Peter Obi, a good son of Ndigbo, established, sensible, intelligent and focused, a man with a lot of integrity and an illustrious son of Ndigbo, he has good intentions for Nigeria but the powers that been do not want him.

He has tried but didn’t succeed, he has all it takes to bail Nigeria out and I will sincerely ask the obedient to rally round him but if Obi fails to emerge the candidate of ADC Coalition, they should rally round President Tinubu for his second tenure to deliver us from the greedy people that want to enjoy the turn of the Southern Nigeria.

“If we give an inch and try to push President Tinubu out without having Obi in, we will surely go into political quagmire that we may not know how to come out of. This is a golden opportunity and I pray that Peter Gregory Obi will succeed or he will understand if Tinubu is allowed to continue.

“You can see the confusion they are placing Obi in ADC, they are blocking him. Atiku said Nigeria wants only a Northerner and not an Igbo or Yoruba. The Northern like him have made up their mind to enslave us forever and that should not be allowed to happen. It is either we get Obi to be president or we comply with Dave Umahi call.

“I want to tell every Nigerian that Peter Obi is the best thing that will happen to Nigeria, but since Nigerians want him and the ruling class don’t want him and are blocking the way, what else can he do.

If we go on the streets to protest the Military will take over and who knows who will become the head of state if the military takes over.

“Please we need to think deep before we leap this time around. Sentiments apart, if we can’t have Obi become the president, let us listen to Dave Umahi. With all the loopholes, with all the wobbling under the present administration, it is better for us in this wobbling situation than to enter into a situation that many of us will regret. North, it is not your turn, wait for the South to complete their turn.”
