A Primary That Failed Arithmetic: How the PRP Presidential Nomination Was Compromised

A Primary That Failed Arithmetic: How the PRP Presidential Nomination Was Compromised The Ufere2027 Presidential Campaign is compelled to bring before the Nigerian public a set of facts that no amount of political spin can dissolve, because they rest not on opinion but on arithmetic. The People Redemption Party conducted its presidential primary under guidelines issued by its own leadership just one day before the 25 May election. Those guidelines were explicit: only members whose names appeared on the official membership register submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission as of 4 May 2026 were eligible to vote. That register was the governing document. It was the single source of truth agreed by all parties before a single ballot was cast. Measured against that register, the declared results collapse on contact. For example, in Gombe, a register of 348 members produced an astonishing 1,431 votes, a 311 percent inflation, with more than 1,000 phantom ballots...

The group claimed that Zailani allegedly distanced himself from party activities and failed to actively participate in campaigns...

Who Is Behind the Violence in Northern Nigeria?

Who Is Behind the Violence in Northern Nigeria? By Steven Kefas Nigeria is often portrayed in international headlines as simply “unstable,” a sweeping, unhelpful label that conceals a far more complex and geographically specific crisis. For those seeking to understand the country’s security situation, the details matter enormously.  Over the past ten years, I have conducted extensive field research across Nigeria with a particular focus on the north, carrying out on-the-ground interviews with victim communities, local leaders, survivors, and witnesses. What I found challenges vague narratives and points to identifiable actors perpetrating the majority of violence in two critical regions: the Northwest and the North Central. Systematic data gathered by the Observatory for Religious Freedom in Africa (ORFA) consistently records a significant proportion of Christian victims even in predominantly Muslim northwestern states, evidence that the violence carries a dimension tha...
