By Hajia Ina, NW-P-BAT Leader After God Almighty, it is the Nigerian people who have the ultimate power to decide whether President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will continue in office beyond May 29, 2027. The mandate of the Nigerian presidency belongs to the people. It does not belong to any individual, political clique or even political party. Neither the APC nor any other political party is powerful enough to extend the tenure of a president beyond the constitutionally stipulated period. Only the Nigerian people, through their votes, can determine who leads Nigeria after May 29, 2027. If Nigerians are satisfied with the performance of President Tinubu and wish him to continue, so be it. If they are dissatisfied, their Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and their votes will speak accordingly. That is the essence of democracy. We therefore find it unnecessary and unacceptable for anyone to look outside Nigeria for a foreign power to determine the political future of our country. Nigeria is...

Though the Igala and Okun peoples share deep cultural affinities and historical connections, cultural brotherhood same as Ebiras, but must not be mistaken for a political pact ahead of the 2027 governorship election in Kogi State. Let it be stated clearly: There is no political agreement, arrangement, or pact between the Igala and Okun blocs or any tribe committing either side to surrender or exchange the governorship ambition in 2027. The Political Reality  2027 is a defining moment for the Igala people.   After years of political marginalization and the repeated postponement of our legitimate aspiration to produce the next Governor of Kogi State, the Igala people are determined to pursue the governorship with renewed unity, organization, and resolve. The message is simple: IGALA GOVERNORSHIP IN 2027 IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. This is not a declaration of war against the Okun people. It is not a rejection of our shared cultural heritage.   It is an assertio...

In the quiet hours when memory walks like a restless spirit, I count the empty chairs. My former colleagues; Francis. Tom. Donatus. Hilary. Shakahulu. Jonathan. And so many others—once young men who we shared corridors, secrets, and the precarious privilege of serving powerful men—are gone. They have crossed into the land of the unseen, leaving only silence and the soft ache of absence. I am alone still alive today. Whenever their names surface, I lower my head and thank the God who still allows my lungs to draw breath. A precious life, I have learned, is richer than any fortune. I was not always this sober. In the early 1990s I was a curly-haired youth bristling with awkward energy and a tongue too quick for its own good. Mischief clung to me like a second skin. Two men alone possessed the rare patience to endure my quirks and smart-aleck remarks: my Dad, Elder Peter Adama Dogwo, and my uncle, retired DSP Michael D. Musa—affectionately called “Palee.” Both still walk among...
