Who else has noticed that not a single politician outside Kano has followed Kwankwaso to the NDC across the entire Northern States and the FCT?
Kwankwaso still holds that "local champion" title. ๐
Imagine if Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (GRV) had followed Peter Obi into the NDC. GRV would have lost the ticket, and Obi would be on the podium urging him to accept the result, ironic, considering Obi left the ADC precisely because he couldn't accept the outcome of the primaries.
GRV is a shrewd politician; his political acumen is highly admirable.
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has commenced legal action against the Chief Judge (CJ) of the Federal High Court (FHC), Justice John Tsoho, to court over allegations of corruption, disobedience of the orders of courts as well as manifest bias against the party, in respect of a pending case at the Abuja division of the Federal High Court.

Breaking: H.E Atiku Abubakar has called for a comprehensive and independent investigation into the leakage of confidential data from the INEC voter registration database.
INEC's explanation that there was no external cyberattack, but that the data was accessed using valid official credentials, raises serious concerns about possible internal security failures or political interference.
He urged the commission to fully disclose how the data was obtained, who accessed it, who received it, and how it was released.
Atiku warned that the incident could undermine public confidence in the electoral process and threaten the credibility of the 2027 general elections if it is not thoroughly investigated and transparently addressed.
PRESS STATEMENT
EID-EL-KABIR: DAVID MARK CALLS FOR PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE
Urges Government to Tackle Insecurity Threatening the Nation
As Muslim faithful across Nigeria and the world celebrate the joyous occasion of Eid-el-Kabir, the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Senator David Mark, has extended his warm felicitations and heartfelt goodwill to all Nigerians, particularly the Muslim Ummah, on this sacred and significant festival.
In a goodwill message to Nigerians, Senator Mark described Sallah as a period of deep reflection, sacrifice, obedience, compassion, and renewed commitment to peace and national unity.
According to the former Senate President, Eid-el-Kabir reminds humanity of the enduring values of love, tolerance, generosity, and devotion to the service of mankind.
He stated:
"At this critical moment in our national life, I urge Nigerians to continue to uphold these virtues while praying and working for a more united, peaceful, and prosperous nation. Our diversity should remain our strength and not a source of division."
Senator Mark noted that while Nigerians celebrate the festival, it is important to acknowledge the numerous challenges confronting the nation, particularly the growing insecurity and economic hardship affecting millions of citizens.
"Across many parts of the country, lives and livelihoods continue to be threatened by violence, banditry, kidnapping, and communal conflicts, leaving families in fear and uncertainty," he said.
He therefore called on governments at all levels to intensify efforts toward curbing insecurity through decisive, proactive, and people-oriented measures that guarantee the safety of lives and property.
"Security remains the foundation upon which development and national progress can thrive," he added.
The former Senate President also stressed the urgent need for policies and programmes aimed at making life more meaningful for Nigerians by addressing poverty, unemployment, inflation, and the rising cost of living.
"Citizens deserve not only security but also access to opportunities, social welfare, and economic empowerment capable of restoring hope and dignity," Senator Mark said.
He further urged leaders to govern with compassion, justice, and accountability while encouraging citizens to remain steadfast in promoting peace, unity, and mutual understanding.
"As we mark this blessed celebration, may the spirit of Sallah inspire our leaders to govern with compassion, justice, and accountability, while encouraging citizens to remain steadfast in promoting peace, unity, and mutual understanding.
"May this Sallah bring renewed hope, divine blessings, and lasting peace to every home and to our beloved nation. Happy Sallah to all Nigerians."
