BREAKING NEWS: SUPREME COURT DISMISSES DAVID MARK'S APPLICATION FOR STAY OF EXECUTION

Image
The Supreme Court has dismissed an application for stay of execution of an Appeal Court ruling that led to the decision of electoral body, INEC to derecognize the Senator David Mark leadership of the Action Democratic Congress, ADC.  This dismissal by the Apex Court on Tuesday followed the withdrawal of the application by senator Mark's counsel Jibril Okutekpa, SAN.  Okutekpa had informed the five-member apex court panel headed by Justice Lawal Garba that INEC's interpretation of the Court of Appeal decision on March 12 has made the party 'leaderless.'  He says the 'injunctive order' for the aggrieved parties to maintain 'status quo antebellum' is the reason for the current leadership vacuum in the ADC. He prayed the court for urgent action in view of the time constraints in the lead up to next year's crucial polls.  In its intervention, the apex court gave procedural directions to fast-track the process, including abridging time for fili...

BREAKING NEWS: PANIC AS PETER OBI THREATENS TO DUMP ADC - SOURCE INSTABLOG

Image
Fresh concerns have emerged within the African Democratic Congress (ADC) following comments by former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, suggesting he could leave the party if internal processes are compromised. Speaking during an interview on Arise TV on Monday, Obi explained the reasons behind his past party defections, insisting that his decisions were driven by principle rather than personal gain. Obi recalled that his first major switch, from the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), stemmed from disagreements with his successor as governor of Anambra State. “I moved from APGA to the PDP because of issues with my successor. Rather than allow it to become t+xic and become destructive to governance of the State, I moved out,” he said. According to Obi, his experience in the PDP was not significantly different, as he claimed the party environment was dominated by disregard for rules and excessive political bargaining. “...

U.S BEGINS VISA BAN ON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM VIOLATORS IN NIGERIA

Image
The United States has begun enforcing a new visa restriction policy aimed at individuals accused of violating religious freedom in Nigeria, according to Mark Walker, the US principal adviser for global religious freedom. The policy, announced in December by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, targets those who “knowingly direct, authorise, fund, support, or carry out violations of religious freedom.” It forms part of broader US action in response to what officials described as “atrocities and violence against Christians” in Nigeria and globally.  The move followed a resolution introduced by Chris Smith, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Africa Subcommittee, which recommended visa bans and asset freezes for individuals and organisations linked to severe religious freedom ab¥ses.   The resolution specifically named the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria and Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore as entities of concern.

ATIKU ALLEGES PLOT TO REVOKE LICENSE OF RAINBOW EVENT CENTER, VENUE FOR THE ADC NATIONAL CONVENTION.

Image
A fresh political controversy has emerged following claims by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) that there are moves by government agents to revoke the licence of Rainbow Event Centre, the venue scheduled to host the party’s national convention on Tuesday, April 14, 2026. In a strongly worded statement attributed to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, the development was described as a “shameful and cowardly abuse of public office,” accusing authorities of attempting to frustrate the party’s activities. The statement alleged that the planned revocation is linked solely to the venue’s decision to host the ADC convention, despite the party reportedly fulfilling all legal and financial requirements, including payment of fees and signing of necessary agreements. According to the statement, pressuring a private business to deny a legally registered opposition party access to a venue undermines democratic principles and threatens the rights to free assembly and political pa...

ADC DENIED EAGLE MKO ABIOLA STADIUM FOR CONVENTION

Image
The African Democratic Congress has announced a new venue for its national convention scheduled to be held in Abuja on Tuesday. Earlier on Monday, the ADC said it was denied access to both Eagle Square and the Moshood Abiola National Stadium for its convention.  The opposition party said it had written to the office of the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, seeking permission to use Eagle Square, but although the letter was acknowledged, no official response had been received. But in another statement, the ADC said the national convention will take place at the Rainbow Event Centre in Abuja. But the FCT Minister has dismissed allegations by the ADC that it was denied access to Eagle Square in Abuja.  Wike described the claims as “unfounded” and an attempt to gain public sympathy. He said no formal application had been submitted by any of the parties making the allegation.

"I PRAY FOR NIGERIANS EVERY DAY SO THAT 1 MILLION OF THEM DON'T COME DRIFTING TOWARDS A SMALL COUNTRY LIKE GHANA" -- PRESIDENT JOHN MAHAMA

Image
 Ghana’s President, John Mahama, has said Nigeria’s stability is of key importance to Ghana’s security interests, noting the strong ties between both countries.  Speaking at the African Heritage Awards 2026, Mahama explained that due to Nigeria’s large population and regional influence, instability could have wider consequences across West Africa.  He said: “Nigeria is of key security interests to us. When you have cousins like 250 million of them, you want them to do well so that 1 million of them don’t come drifting towards a small country like Ghana. That’s why every day I wake up and pray for Nigeria that God should help them get their act together.”  He added in another remark: “I wake up to pray every day for Nigerians so that 1 million of them don’t come drifting towards a small country like Ghana.”  The statement has since sparked reactions online, with many highlighting the close demographic and economic relationship between Nigeria and Ghan...
