Why NDC May Not Be On The Ballot In 2027: Facts Nigerians Need To Know

Admin

By Ufuoma Egbe   The recent court decision reversing an earlier judgment that ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) as a registered political party has generated widespread debate across the political space. Many Nigerians have attributed the development to political interference or an attempt to weaken opposition forces ahead of the 2027 general elections. However, a closer look at the circumstances surrounding the case suggests that the challenges confronting the NDC may have more to do with internal lapses, administrative failures, and…

Opinion: Sen Dafinone’s Scaffold/Rigging Training Deserves Commendation, Not Daggers

Admin

By Ufuoma Egbe     Youth empowerment in Nigeria has become a minefield. Do it, you get criticized. Don’t do it, you get crucified.   Senator Ede Dafinone’s Delta Central Scaffold and Rigging Training Programme has just walked into that minefield, and the shrapnel is unfair.   It’s not enough to instigate disenchantment. Context matters. The beneficiaries crying for cash gratification where the priority is starter packs may not be villains.   Their frustration is understood. Prince Awhotu captures it bluntly: too many repeated skills training have left Urhobo youths…

At its core, this contest is about the honour, political maturity, and collective dignity of the Urhobo Nation.   For too long, the political destiny of many ethnic nationalities in Nigeria has been determined…

Admin

By Ufuoma Egbe,     The recent outburst by Hon. Godwin Anaughe against Senator Ede Dafinone’s second-term declaration is nothing more than a desperate political tantrum fueled by frustration, insecurity, and the changing political realities in Delta Central Senatorial District — realities that are clearly no longer in favour of his principal, former Deputy Senate President, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege. Ordinarily, such “Tales by Moonlight” narratives should be ignored. However, because of the deliberate attempt to distort facts, insult the intelligence of APC members, and create unnecessary tension within the party,…

2027 Senate: Emerhor Shouldn’t Cast The Nets Before Getting To The River!

Admin

By Ufuoma Egbe,     As conversations around the 2027 Delta Central senatorial race gather momentum, the renewed push to project Olorogun O’tega Emerhor as a viable contender raises more questions than it answers. Beyond the carefully orchestrated endorsements and quiet political manoeuvring, a fundamental issue remains unresolved: where is the evidence of his electoral strength? Politics is not built on assumptions, nor sustained by a few inconsequential endorsements detached from grassroots reality. It is earned through verifiable influence at the unit, ward, and constituency levels. On this score, critics…
