Ahead of the commencement of the primaries of the All Progressives Congress, APC, with Saturday’s House of Representatives primary elections, the North-Central APC Forum has raised the alarm that the exercise has been commercialised by party officials.

The APC House of Representatives primaries was initially fixed for Friday, May 15, 2026. But the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, in a statement late on Thursday, May 14, 2026, announced that the exercise has been moved to Saturday, May 16, 2026.

No reason was given for the shift in date.

However, in a statement by its Chairman, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, on Friday, the North-Central APC Forum said the postponement was a direct consequence of the monetization of the process.

Noting that President Bola Tinubu had called for free and fair primaries devoid of rancour and violence, the North-Central APC Forum condemned the alleged commercialisation of the primaries and warned national officers of the party against destroying the APC by poor handling of the exercise.

The Forum observed that barely 24 hours to the new date set for the exercise, the list of aspirants cleared to participate in the primaries has not been released.

The group said it has credible information that national officers of the party are going round the states collecting money from aspirants while promising them APC tickets for the general elections.

President Bola Tinubu had on Friday urged APC members to prioritize unity and sportsmanship in the nationwide primaries, warning against rancorous conduct that could undermine the party’s strength ahead of the 2026 general elections.

In the statement signed by Zazzaga, the North-Central APC Forum backed Tinubu’s admonition but added that national officers of the party should be called to order, to desist from actions that could lead to crisis ahead of the general elections.

According to the Forum, feelers from the states already indicate that many influential party members are feeling sidelined due to what it described as “self-centered, commercially motivated actions of party officials”.

The statement said, “The North-Central APC Forum has observed with regrets that the forthcoming primary elections have already been monetized by party officials and that is why they are shifting the date from one day to another.

“There is no other reason for the shift in date other than it being a direct consequence of the monetization of the primaries. They don’t want to conduct free and fair primary elections because they have ulterior motives, hence they are shifting the date in order to concretize their plans.

“We, the North-Central APC Forum, are warning the national officers to be careful. They should not kill our party in pursuit of their selfish agenda.

“We are calling on all the authorities to be very vigilant because the process has already been commercialised and compromised.

“What they are doing now is they are sending officials to various states to collect money from aspirants and promise them party tickets instead of making sound arrangements for free and fair primary elections.

“That is why they have not released the list of those that were screened to participate in the primaries. That is part of the delay tactics they are using to ensure that they give tickets to those they collected money from.”

The Forum pointed to the situation in Rivers State, where several aspirants, said to be linked to the state governor, Sim Fubara, were reportedly disqualified.

Noting that the screening process in Rivers was compromised, the APC Forum said similar situation is playing out in various states. It warned that the party risks being destabilized before the general elections in 2027, if the national officers are not called to order.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President Bola Tinubu has emphasized the need to properly harness the potential of youths in Nigeria and across the African continent.

Speaking on Thursday during a panel session on the sidelines of the 13th Africa CEO Forum in Rwanda, the Nigerian leader stressed that as a politician, if he doesn’t manage the potential of the youths, and get them ready to take advantage of available opportunities, they can vote him out.

Naija News reports that Tinubu described Nigerian youths as dynamic, restless and not ready to accept any excuses.

He stressed the need for the government to provide an enabling environment for growth, noting that politicians must remain accountable to the people.

In his words, “We have a very dynamic youthful population, restless and not ready to accept any excuses. I am a politician, if I don’t prepare them for that (opportunities), they will vote me out.”

Meanwhile, President Tinubu has urged aspirants and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to conduct themselves peacefully as the party begins its nationwide primary elections ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a statement he personally signed on Thursday, Tinubu described the commencement of the APC primaries as a historic moment for the ruling party, noting that the exercise marks the party’s fourth election cycle since its formation.

The President said the APC was founded on the principles of progressive politics, consensus democracy, personal sacrifice and devotion to party unity.

“We founded the All Progressives Congress on the firm principles of progressive politics, consensus democracy, and personal devotion and sacrifice. This principle of selflessness and devotion has seen us go through each election cycle and come out firmer together,” he stated.

Tinubu acknowledged ongoing efforts by party leaders to produce consensus candidates in line with the Electoral Act and the APC constitution.

According to him, the consensus arrangement remains a commendable option capable of reducing rancour and internal division within the party.

“I note the impressive progress made in this regard and encourage fellow party members to make the most of this window to ensure a seamless process and a more unified party,” the President said.

He, however, stressed that where consensus fails, aspirants should approach the primaries with sportsmanship and avoid conduct capable of threatening party unity.

Former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has accused President Bola Tinubu of playing games with the law regarding the detention of former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai.

Naija News reports that the National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, made the allegation during an interview on Symfoni TV on Thursday.

Abdullahi emphasised that the legal actions against El-Rufai were politically motivated and aimed at keeping him out of circulation ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The ADC spokesman further described El-Rufai as a political prisoner of President Tinubu.

He said, “What they are doing by taking him to court, then shifting the date of hearing of the bail application, then moving him to another court and fixing another long duration to hear his bail application.

“He’s effectively playing games with the law to keep him in detention and out of circulation ahead of the next election. So, we in ADC are saying that Mallam Nasir El-Rufai is Tinubu’s political prisoner.

“And we are right. Last week, we were having this conversation within the party leadership, and we’re going to begin to deal with this appropriately because our thought was that the rule of law would prevail and he would be released,” he stated.

“We were in court. I was in court twice on the days he was arraigned and when he was released briefly for the burial of his late mother. May God rest us all. We were all there before they picked him up again.

“But we are going to escalate it regionally. We’re going to escalate it internationally. We’ve been doing this and will continue to do this.

2027: Atiku, Obi, Amaechi, Makinde, Hayatu-Deen set to battle Tinubu
—Atiku, Amaechi submit forms; Makinde declares; Obi vows one term lIt’s time to save Nigeria — Atiku —Emilokan brought us here, Amaechi blasts APC over hardship

LAGOS — Leading opposition top shots, yesterday, displayed their determination to wrest the presidency from President Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC, by taking decisive steps to actualise their ambition.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, a two-time presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who is now in the African Democratic Congress, ADC, submitted his nomination form to the party, saying it is time to rescue the country.

Also, former Rivers State governor and Transportation Minister, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, submitted his nomination form to the ADC and charged Nigerians to vote for a credible leader next, saying that ‘emilokan’ policy of the APC flung the citizenry into hardship.

In the same vein, Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde, yesterday, formally declared his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election under a new opposition alliance involving the PDP, and the Allied Peoples’ Movement, APM, saying the alliance is the beginning of a broader political coalition.

This came as former Anambra State Governor and 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr. Peter Obi, who is now in the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, said if elected, he would do just one term and quit even if a gun is pointed at his head to go for a second term.

Dr. Mohammed Hayatu-Deen of the ADC had earlier in the week submitted his form with a promise to change the fortunes of the country, if elected.

Emilokan brought us here
Meanwhile, Amaechi said the ‘Emilokan’ philosophy that shaped the last presidential election had pushed Nigerians into hardship, insisting that the country can no longer afford to choose leaders based on ethnicity, religion or whose ‘turn’ it is to rule.

He spoke in Abuja shortly after submitting his presidential nomination form, where he presented himself as the most experienced among the aspirants, questioned the APC’s bid for another term and urged Nigerians to vote based on competence and performance.

His words: “It is Emilokan that brought us here. It is ‘our turn’ that brought us here. It is the turn of Nigerians, because you see, there is no market for Christians, neither is there a market for Muslims, or a market for Northerners or Southerners. The market has only one purpose, the forex. And what is forex? Naira. Nigerians are suffering.”

Amaechi blamed the current administration for the country’s economic difficulties and questioned why the APC is seeking another term. “The current president has put us in this suffering. I don’t know why he wants to run. I don’t even know why APC wants to participate. They should be in shame and allow other Nigerians to participate and change the country.”

The former minister urged Nigerians to reject identity politics. “Nigerians should vote for merit, not those who say ‘I’m from this place’, ‘I’m from that place’, ‘vote for me because my people have not been voted for before’, or ‘it’s our turn’.”

Amaechi said the 2027 election should be a referendum on the records of those seeking office, adding: “I will say that what you are seeing currently is that nearly everybody who is running for the office of the president has served Nigeria in one way or another. Let this be a referendum.

“If you have performed, whoever has outperformed the other, vote for the person. The next thing is who is capable of delivering the votes? Who is capable of beating the incumbent? Who has the experience?”

Amaechi said his records as governor of Rivers State and Minister of Transportation show he has the experience to lead the country. “I believe I am the most experienced. I am young, I am the most experienced, and I believe I have the capacity.

“Go back to Rivers State and see what I have done. Go back to the Ministry of Transportation and see what I have done, and assess it and see whether I can turn the country around. And I will, in four years, turn the country around,” he said.

On the mode of selecting the party’s presidential candidate, Amaechi said he prefers a direct primary. “I’m going for primary. If the consensus is me, fine. But if it’s not me, I’m going for primary,” he said.

I’ll be a one-term president — Obi

Speaking in an interview scheduled to air on News Central TV yesterday, Obi said: “I want to be a one-term president because of stability. I will not stay a day longer than four years, even with a gun to my head.”

The former Anambra governor also criticised the economic policies of the President Tinubu administration, including borrowing and the rising cost of living, saying Nigeria has entered one of its most difficult periods ever.

“One of the greatest American presidents, Abraham Lincoln, served only four years, yet his legacy endures. John F. Kennedy did not complete a full term, but his ideals still inspire.

“In Africa, Nelson Mandela, revered globally as a symbol of justice and reconciliation, chose to serve only one term as president of South Africa despite immense public pressure to stay longer.

“His decision was a deliberate act of leadership, a statement that power must serve the people, not the self.

“Indeed, history shows that the longer many African leaders remain in power, the more likely they are to be corrupted by it,” he said and assured that if elected, he would serve a term.

It’s time to save Nigeria —Atiku

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, after submitting his ADC nomination form for his 2027 presidential ambition, shared a post on his X page, accompanied by photos and a video showing him at the ADC national headquarters in Abuja to submit the form.

“The march to restore prosperity and better days to our beloved nation took a firm and decisive step forward today at the National Secretariat of our great party, the African Democratic Congress,” he wrote.

“This is more than a political journey; it is a national movement rooted in hope, renewal, and the collective resolve to save Nigeria from despair.”

He appealed to Nigerians regardless of region, faith, or background, to join him in the “noble cause”, saying: “Together, we will restore the promise of our nation and bring good times back again. The march to restore prosperity and better days to our beloved nation took a firm and decisive step forward today at the National Secretariat of our great party, the African Democratic Congress.

“This is more than a political journey; it is a national movement rooted in hope, renewal, and the collective resolve to save Nigeria from despair. I call on all Nigerians, regardless of region, faith, or background, to join us in this noble cause. Together, we will restore the promise of our nation and bring good times back again.”

Why I’m vying for President under PDP-APM alliance — Makinde

Meanwhile, Makinde declared his intention to contest under an alliance involving PDP and APM at the historic Mapo Hall, Ibadan, Oyo State, during a mega rally organised to announce the alliance between both political parties.

The rally followed the formal signing of a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, between the PDP and the APM, supervised by Makinde alongside the National Chairman of the APM, Yusuf Dantalle.

The agreement was signed earlier in the day at the PDP South-West Secretariat, along Old Ife Road in Ibadan, signalling what party leaders described as a strategic political alignment aimed at strengthening both parties ahead of future elections.

It’s time to reset Nigeria — Makinde

Addressing supporters at the rally, Makinde said Nigeria’s democracy is under threat due to what he described as sustained interference in opposition parties and growing attempts to impose a one-party state on the country.

The governor maintained that democracy can only thrive in an environment where multiple political parties exist and compete fairly.

Makinde also decried the worsening economic and security conditions in the country, saying many Nigerians had been pushed into survival mode.

According to him, Nigerians have been pushed to the brink and made to believe that the opposition can never unite against the ruling establishment.

While he urged the opposition to unite, he insisted that every Nigerian affected by hardship and poor governance form part of the movement for change.

His words: “We are all here at this mega rally to announce the grand alliance between the PDP and the APM. We must retrace our steps to understand how we arrived at this point in our political history.

“We have found ourselves at a point in our nation’s political history where the very foundations of democracy are being shaken.

“We have continued to witness interference in the affairs of opposition parties across our beloved country, with the clear intention of steering Nigeria towards a one-party state.

“Without a multi-party system, there can be no true democracy. So, where is our democracy today?

“The economic and security situations continue to worsen, forcing the majority of Nigerians into survival mode on a daily basis.

“Those entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding the welfare of the people have instead treated the authority given to them as personal property, to be exercised at their own discretion.

“For several months now, one question has remained at the forefront of my mind: where do we go from here? Is this truly the path we intend to continue on as a nation?

“We have been pushed to the brink, with the expectation that we will turn against one another in confusion and desperation.

“Their greatest assumption is that we will become too exhausted from the daily struggle to survive to resist or demand better.

“They concluded that the opposition could never unite. Today, I stand before you to say clearly: that was a grave miscalculation,

“The opposition in Nigeria is not limited to political parties alone. The opposition is every ordinary Nigerian for whom this country is no longer working.

“And the opposition political parties in Nigeria remain committed to working together to present a credible alternative for our people.”

Makinde urged Nigerians to actively participate in the democratic process and resist political apathy.

“This is the moment for all of us to shake off the growing apathy and actively engage in the political process to ensure that Nigeria works for every citizen.

“This is the time to confront our fears. Do not be afraid. It is time for us to participate as citizens, not merely stand by as spectators in our country.

“We cannot afford to remain bystanders, we must engage. We must participate. And together, we will secure the future we deserve,” he added.

Calling for unity among opposition parties, Makinde described the alliance between the PDP and APM as the beginning of a broader political coalition.

“To the opposition political parties, this is the time for unity, one party at a time. That is exactly what the PDP and the APM are demonstrating today.

“This is the moment to work together in unity and determination to give our generation the leadership and direction it urgently needs.

“Today, I proudly declare the birth of the Reset Nigeria Movement. The time to reset Nigeria is now,” he noted.

Declaring his presidential ambition, Makinde said: “Here in my home state, in Ibadan, the city of warriors, the first grand alliance is formed: the alliance between the Peoples Democratic Party and the Allied Peoples’ Movement. This partnership will enable us to present candidates at every level of government, from the Presidency to the State Assemblies, and every office in-between.

“Therefore, I, Oluseyi Makinde, formally announce my candidacy for the office of President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Why opposition leaders are united against Tinubu — Oyinlola

In his goodwill message, former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, said the emerging alliance was borne out of dissatisfaction with the performance of the APC.

Oyinlola, who spoke in Yoruba, said the alliance was driven by promises made to Nigerians by President Tinubu during the 2023 election campaign, which remained a mirage.

“What brought us to this level of alliance? About three and a half years ago, our brother, Bola Tinubu, said it was his turn to become President. He assured Nigerians that the power sector will be revitalised, the oil sector repositioned, and the country moved towards progress and prosperity.

“But where are we today? That was the purpose of the opposition summit in Ibadan, to chart a new course for the country and build a stronger alliance capable of addressing the challenges facing Nigerians.”

He added that worsening economic conditions and growing public dissatisfaction had made it necessary for opposition leaders to come together in search of solutions capable of restoring hope among Nigerians.”

New alliance, a decisive step towards greater unity — Oyo PDP chairman

Earlier, the PDP chairman in the state, Dayo Ogungbenro described the newly formed alliance as a defining moment for opposition politics in Nigeria, insisting that it signals a decisive step towards greater unity ahead of the 2027 general election.

Ogungbenro said: “This is a significant turning point in our democratic journey. The coming together of the PDP and the APM reflects a shared determination to strengthen the opposition and present a credible alternative to the Nigerian people.

“We are convinced that when opposition forces stand united, disciplined and focused, the 2027 general election will usher in the first presidency to emerge from a truly consolidated opposition platform in Nigeria.”

On his part, the National Secretary of the APM, Oyadeyi Ayodele, welcomed the alliance as a strategic and necessary development in Nigeria’s evolving political landscape, stressing that it was beyond party interests and spoke to national renewal.

“This partnership represents a watershed moment for our democracy. It demonstrates that political differences can be set aside when the greater good of the nation is at stake. Our collective resolve is to build a credible and united platform capable of addressing the challenges confronting Nigeria, including insecurity and economic hardship. his is not merely about political ambition; it is about restoring balance, hope, and effective governance to our country,“ Oyadeyi said.

Oshiomhole: Atiku Has Become APC’s Top Campaign Manager 1
Senator Adams Oshiomhole has declared that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is now effectively the best campaign manager for the All Progressives Congress.

Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Oshiomhole suggested that Atiku’s public criticisms of other opposition figures are inadvertently benefiting the ruling party.

The Edo North Senator emphasized that the APC is not concerned about the emergence of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) or the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).

Regarding the friction within the opposition, Oshiomhole said: “You mean that APC would be worried about ADC, NDC? I saw Atiku, he is now our best campaign manager because he is attacking Obi, and I see Obi attacking Amaechi.”

This political tension follows Peter Obi’s recent departure from the ADC to join the NDC, just months after rejoining Atiku in January 2026.

With Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso now expected to lead the NDC ticket, the APC views the fragmentation of the opposition as a significant strategic advantage

… Says Alex Otti, all South-east govs working for Tinubu

… Insists Abaribe won’t return to Senate

A Senatorial aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia South, Prince Paul Ikonne, has dismissed a four-year single term promise by the former Governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi, saying when the time is ripe South-east to produce a President, it will be for eight years like other regions did.

Ikonne, who is the immediate-past Executive Secretary of the National Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA), earlier in the week launched a grassroot group in Abia state, Asiwaju Tsunami in 2027 to mobilise support and massive votes for the re-election of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu across the South-east.

The APC chieftain who described Tinubu’s victory as a wind in 2023, declared that the President re-election in 2027 will be Tsunami, not only in the South-east but across the country.

Speaking during a media interactive meeting on Thursday in Abuja, Prince Ikonne revealed that all the South-east Governors, including Alex Otti of Abia state, all political major stakeholders in Igbo land are currently behind the re-election of President Tinubu in 2027.

According to him, the Asiwaju 2027 Tsunami group is to let the world, especially Nigerians, know that what they saw in 2023 was a wind, but this 2027 election will be Tsunami for the President.

He said: “Why would he (Peter Obi) come and say that he wants to be President for four years? So he’s trying to deprive the Southeasterners when other zones are doing eight years. No South-east man will vote for such a thing. No, not at all.

“We are not looking for a President that will just be there for four years. We want to produce, when the time comes, the Igbo President that will be there for eight years.”
.. Governor Hope Uzodimma’s strategy

He revealed further that the Imo state governor Hope Uzodimma, has set up a team, where he is a member, to sensitise the Igbos across the country shop to shop, market to market, mobilizing support for the President re-election, adding that the massive votes Tinubu will get in 2027 will come from all the places where Igbos reside and not only in the Eastern region.

“So the Igbos will not make that mistake and we will not be deceived to say let people come just for four years, to do what exactly? It may take him (Obi) two years to appoint his ministers. Before they will finish taking him around the Villa, finish meeting with the Permanent Secretaries and all that, four years will be over.”

… Alex Otti, other Governors working for Tinubu

When asked for the assurance that South-east Governors are with President Tinubu, Ikonne said: “One clear indication is that when the governor who came on board to govern through Labour Party is now supporting the President, that means the President doesn’t have any opposition in Abia state. So that is one clear assurance.

“Again, I guess I’ve seen what is happening in terms of development within the South-east and the kind of resources that the President has left in the hands of the governors. So people now know that indeed, that with the President’s mindset of allowing the funds to go straight to the governors, he means well for Nigerians.

He wants democracy, he wants dividends of democracy to come from bottom up, which is what it should be.
Development doesn’t come from the national level, it should come from the state and the local government and the President has pushed resources down to the governors in order to implement developmental projects that will impact the lives of people.

“So Abians are ready to vote the President again because there will not be any opposing party from Abia state.
And I’m sure the traders in Abia are excited to have the President come back for the second time.”

Responding to the recent zoning of presidential ticket to the South by the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Ikonne said: “What they have just said is that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu should complete his eight years, because the North completed eight years.

“If they (NDC) have zoned it to the North, then you now say, okay, there’s competition, there’s questioning, there’s a decision that one zone should not. But for the fact they say they have zoned their ticket to the South means that they are confirming that Asiwaju should conclude and complete his eight years, which is what has been the practice since democracy started in Nigeria.

“So 2023 was wind but in 2027 Asiwaju is coming with tsunami. And you can see that all the state governors in the Southeast, they are all supporting the president. In the 2027 election, you now see that there will not be any governor in the South-east that will not be supporting the president. It wasn’t so in 2023. So the tsunami that will hit Nigeria will start from South-east, most especially from Abia South Senatorial District.”

… Abia South constituents reject Abaribe

On his plan to take over from Senator Abaribe in Abia South, the APC chieftain said the constituents have resolved that Abaribe should not be re-elected in 2027, having spent almost 20 years in the Senate with no developmental projects in the district to show for the long stay.

“Senator Abaribe abandoning Peter Obi is a clear indication that what happened in 2023 general election will not happen again in the South-east. Number one, it goes to show that Peter Obi will no longer have that kind of wave that came in 2023. Labour Party is not really on ground in Abia state.

“So, Labour Party has been in one crisis or the other, trying to come out of that crisis, you can’t say that a party that is struggling to solve internal crisis is on ground. The local government elections in Abia was conducted using ZLP, not Labour Party. So up to today, the elected local government officials in Abia are all in ZLP, they have not decamped to the best of my knowledge.

“Senator Abaribe is already coming back home. This is 20 years in the senate and there is nothing to show for it. There is nowhere you will go and you will see any constituency project in the entire Abia South.

“It is interesting to note that Abia South is the engine hub of Abia state and by extension South-east because Aba is the commercial nerve center for the South-east. Abia South is also the oil producing zone for Abia state. Yet there is nothing to show for it. So he is already coming back home. People are preparing to welcome him back home and some group of people are pushing for him to be given a traditional title to take over one community in his local government.

“So I will be very glad, so excited to have him contest against me from Labour Party. Don’t forget that he has lost a lot of credibility jumping from APGA controversially to ADC or something like that, then from ADC now to Labour Party. So that tells you that he is on his way out
