Court Sets November 26 for Edo South NDC Ticket Case

The case was brought by a former lawmaker, Ehiozuwa Agbonayinma. He is challenging the choice of Sunday Aguebor and later Osayuki Asemota as the party’s candidate for the 2027 election.

Agbonayinma said he got the highest votes in the party’s primary and was first declared the winner. He said he was later replaced by Aguebor, who was also later replaced by Asemota.

He wants the court to cancel their names and declare him the party’s candidate.

Is Delta NDC Guber Candidate Ready for Battle with Oborevwori?

I don't see Chris Iyovwaye, the Delta state guber candidate for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) ready for the battle ahead of him with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. No, I don't. And I have my reasons. Delta state is a stronghold of these power mongers. They have seized the state. So, coming from no where and campaigning for the governorship of Delta state will be a very Herculean task.

Power Is Not a Family Property

Why are some African leaders still staying in power for many years? This is a question we need to ask ourselves as Africans. Public office is supposed to be a place to serve the people, not a seat that belongs to one person or one family. In Nigeria, a president is elected for four years and can seek another four-year term, but the second term is not automatic. The people still have the right to decide whether that person should return. But sometimes, it looks as if political power has become a personal property. Once some leaders finish their first term, the next four years can begin to look like something they must complete. This can make citizens feel that there is no real choice.
