When the National Assembly was hurriedly passing the 2026 Electoral Act into law, they didn’t know some of the provisions where highly undemocratic.

But the members of the National Assembly were so carried away by the promise of automatic tickets from the President that they were almost ready to turn a man into a woman as long as it pleased the Presidency.

It all started when the National Assembly inserted Section 77 into the Electoral Act, making it compulsory for political parties to maintain a digital register of all their members and submit it to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at least 21 days before their primary elections.

What that indirectly means is that only individuals whose names appear on that pre-submitted digital register are legally permitted to vote or contest as aspirants during primaries.

In practical terms, if a politician loses a primary election in “Party A,” they cannot immediately jump to “Party B” to contest for another ticket. Why? Because Party B’s register would have already been legally locked weeks earlier, meaning the defector’s name would be missing from the register, thereby rendering any nomination he will get in "Party B" null and void.

But the National Assembly did not stop there.

They knew some politicians are extremely stubborn and can go to any length to get what they want, so they went further to criminalize the process by stating that an individual cannot hold concurrent membership in more than one political party. They also made it a criminal offence for anyone to knowingly register or maintain dual membership in two political parties before the primary season, with a punishment of one year imprisonment or option of fine.

As contrary to the spirit of freedom of association and as undemocratic as those provisions were, the 109 Senators and 360 House of Representatives members still accepted and passed them into law because they believed they had secured automatic tickets for themselves.

Unfortunately for them, APC beat them at their own game.

The same law they celebrated has now become the perfect weapon to stylishly retire some greedy politicians who saw the dangers ahead but chose to keep quiet because of personal interest.

Today, with APC primaries taking unexpected turns, many politicians are heading into permanent political retirement after 2027 because they were either not cleared or failed to secure tickets through the primaries.

And the funniest part of it all is this: they cannot even complain.

Because this is the same law they made with their own hands, and today, that same law has returned to hunt them mercilessly.

At the end of the day, a man cannot sow beans and reap rice, what a man sows he will certainly reap.

Yesterday in Abuja, I had the honour of joining a host of notable personalities, including ambassadors and High Commissioners from different countries for the homecoming tour of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s latest book, “Dreams Count.”

This marks a continuation of the global celebration of her work. I was privileged to be present at the first global launch of Dreams Count on Sunday, March 2nd, at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London, an event that drew a crowd of over 3,000 people.

And today, I joined the Abuja tour of this remarkable journey, where I listened to Chimamanda share the inspiring story behind this deeply moving book.

Chimamanda remains an exemplary model for every Nigerian old and young. I was especially delighted by the powerful spoken word performances from Dike Chukwumerije and others, who showed the vast talent of literature in Nigeria.

I was very impressed to watch how Chimamanda uses her platform to lift other Nigerian writers, encouraging them to soar alongside her on stage, and not just behind the scenes.

Let us continue to nurture and grow our creative talents in Nigeria. The world is watching and indeed, our dreams count. -PO

HOW DAVID MARK TESTED WIKE'S FOOLISHNESS TODAY IN ABUJA

A fake venue was announced by ADC as a trap and Wike out of sheer effort to impress the one-term president quickly deployed his boys to shut it down.

While Wike's boys ruthlessly surrounded the announced venue in a bid to

Five Years Without Pay: An Urgent Call for Justice for Staff of Nnamdi Azikiwe University

Today, I met with a group of teaching and non-teaching staff of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka and heard their pathetic story. What they shared with me was both shocking and heartbreaking. These are individuals who were duly employed by the university between 2019 and 2020, yet have remained without pay for five years.

They informed me that despite multiple petitions and appeals — both within Nigeria and to relevant international bodies — their situation has remained unchanged. What they face is not simply delayed salaries, but complete exclusion from the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS), which has made the disbursement of their lawful earnings impossible.

Their accounts are harrowing. Some have lost their homes due to eviction. Others have suffered broken families, untreated medical conditions, and in some tragic cases, the death of colleagues who could not afford basic healthcare. These are not isolated incidents but the consequences of systemic neglect and failure.

While we continue to lament poor investment in education, here is a clear case where even the most basic obligation to educational workers — the payment of salaries — has not been met.

This is not just a labour issue; it is a moral and humanitarian one. I call on the Federal Government to act swiftly and decisively to resolve this matter. The affected staff must be immediately enrolled on the IPPIS platform, and all outstanding arrears must be paid without delay. A nation that neglects its educators and university staff undermines its own future. Their dignity, like that of every Nigerian worker, must be protected. -PO

Trooped into Lagos, booked hotels, lodges etc on budget of billions to cut tape on 4% completion of a project?

In 1948, this man was found dead.

No cause of death.
No one waiting.
No record.
No name.
No past.

He was erased so perfectly, it lasted 74 years.
In 2022, they found out who he was.

And wished they hadn’t. 🧵

We had to settle on retaking the examination.

[À𝕓á𝕪ọ̀𝕞í @TheDealEnvoy]

This is not the first time this malfeasance by @JAMBHQ is happening.

What changed this year is that they took it too far, not expecting the unprecedented backlash due to their blatant heist.

If the South Eastern region acts strategically, they should negotiate with international examination bodies such as Cambridge, Edexcel, Pearson, AQA, and the IB to secure reduced, market-reflective exam fees tailored to Nigeria’s economic realities. This would enable a complete boycott of JAMB, rendering its influence obsolete.

The notion of Nigeria as a unified nation is, to put it plainly, a delusion held only by the profoundly stupid.
