Political analyst Imran Wakili has claimed that President Bola Tinubu operates above constitutional boundaries, arguing that checks and balances have degraded to the point where the President could dictate the 2027 election results without pushback.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a social media post, Wakili pointed to several controversial political developments as evidence of unchecked executive power:

• Suspension of a Governor: He cited the unpunished suspension of a sitting governor in violation of constitutional provisions.

• El-Rufai’s Detention: He alleged that former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has been held for 170 days over a bailable offense—with 50 of those days passing without any public justification. (Note: Wakili did not provide documentary proof for these figures).

• Osun State Account Freeze: He criticized the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s (EFCC) Post-No-Debit restriction on Osun State’s statutory account during a financial probe, framing it as unlawful state interference despite the Presidency denying direct involvement.

Expanding on his claims regarding democratic decay, Wakili asserted that opposition lawmakers lack the backbone to challenge the administration. He went as far as claiming that if the President pursued an unconstitutional third term, the National Assembly—backed by a compliant and timid opposition—would readily approve it.

• Police Invitation: Controversial social media commentator Martins Vincent Otse, commonly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has responded to an official invitation from the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) in Abuja regarding claims made against AIG Moshood Jimoh.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • Monitoring Demands: The legal team requested that independent observers, including civil society organizations and representatives from the Nigerian Bar Association, be permitted to oversee the questioning session.

  • Commitment to Accountability: Citing the high public interest and the senior rank of the officer involved, VDM’s representatives emphasized that fairness, accountability, and openness are essential for public trust.

  • Readiness to Cooperate: The official statement reiterated that VDM is not opposed to lawful investigations and remains fully prepared to answer a proper police summons.
