APC, Tinubu, and Uba Sani: Only Sadiq Mamman Lagos Has the Capacity and Experience to Deliver Kaduna in 2027   By Comrade Musa Mohammed (Moonlight) Hon. Sadiq Mamman Lagos, a seasoned Kaduna politician, is the one leader in the state with the capacity to deliver victory for the APC, President Bola Tinubu, and Governor Uba Sani in 2027.  His vast experience, past and present, speaks for itself. Many are aware of his commitment, sacrifice, confidence, strategy, and underground planning when it comes to winning elections. Mamman Lagos has a proven track record. He previously delivered Kaduna State for the PDP and Senator Ahmed Makarfi when he led the _Makarfi Mission 2003_ campaign organization. A renowned unifier and mobilizer, he headed the Contact and Mobilization Directorate of Senator Uba Sani’s campaign team in 2023.  He delivered his polling unit, his ward, his constituency, and his local government area, Kaduna North, with massive votes that contributed t...

Wike's Contradictory Remarks  on Abaji Chairman Stir Political Reactions in FCT ...As FCT residents Prefer Hon. Abubakar Abdullahi ahead of Senatorial Election  Recent contrasting remarks attributed to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, about the Chairman of Abaji Area Council, Abubakar Umar Abdullahi, have sparked conversations within political circles in Abuja. Wike had earlier acknowledged Abdullahi’s leadership capacity, describing the council chairman,popularly known as AUA,as a humble leader with a deep understanding of his people’s needs. He was also quoted as saying he had “rarely seen a chairman with such humility,” adding that Abdullahi was “destined for greater things.” However, recent developments suggest a shift in tone, as the same Abdullahi has reportedly been referred to as a “small boy” in what observers interpret as a reflection of changing political dynamics ahead of the 2027 general elections. The apparent contradi...

FCT 2027: Equity Debate Reshapes Senatorial Contest as Abuja South Pushes for Power Shift By Abuja Advocates for Equity and Justice Forum As political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections, a familiar yet increasingly urgent debate has resurfaced in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT): the question of equity, fairness, and rotational representation in the senatorial seat. At the centre of this renewed conversation is a growing call by stakeholders—particularly from the Abuja South axis, comprising Abaji, Gwagwalada, Kuje, and Kwali Area Councils—for what they describe as a long-overdue opportunity to produce the next senator representing the FCT. Since Nigeria’s return to democratic rule in 1999, the FCT has been represented in the Senate by a mix of indigenous and non-indigenous politicians. Among them are Khairat Abdulrazaq Gwadabe, Isah Maina, Usman Jibrin Wowo, Sidi Ali, Philip Aduda, and the incumbent, Ireti Heebah Kingibe. A cl...

We will not tolerate this anymore. Our people are being killed on the Kaduna Western Bypass, and nothing has been done,” the statement read. “If this continues, we will not fold our arm...

WHEN THE CAP FITS  :Abdullahi’s Youth-Driven Playbook for National Mobilisation In a political era where connection with young people increasingly defines influence, few public officials have blended governance and grassroots engagement as effectively as Dr Mustapha Abdullahi. As Director-General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN) and Director of Youth for the Renewed Hope Ambassadors, Abdullahi has emerged as a compelling figure whose cap, quite fittingly, rests on both policy leadership and youth mobilisation. At just under a decade into national prominence, Abdullahi represents a new generation of technocrats redefining public service. Appointed in 2023, he has not only overseen critical energy reforms but has also stepped beyond his technical mandate to energise a politically conscious youth base.  His role within the Renewed Hope Ambassadors has placed him at the intersection of governance and political communication. Rather than relying on traditional ...

ON MATAWALLE’S STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT FOR TINUBU 2027:  THE NORTH’S RENEWED HOPE By Comrade Dr. Awwal Abdullahi Aliyu _Political Analyst,Security Expert & Public Affairs Commentator_   _April 16, 2026_ There are moments in a nation’s journey when loyalty ceases to be mere political convenience and becomes an act of faith. When standing by a leader is not about position, but about posterity. This is the story of Dr. Bello Mohammed Matawalle, MON, and his unwavering alignment with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu ahead of 2027. *The North Remembers, and the North Decides*   Since 1999, history has taught us one unshakable truth: no man ascends to the Presidency of Nigeria without the warm embrace of the North. From Obasanjo to Buhari, the path to Aso Rock has always passed through Kano, through Kaduna,through Katsina through kebbi through the vast, beating heart of northern Nigeria. That is not arrogance. It is arithmetic. It is respect for a people whose ...
