The African Democratic Congress (ADC) is locked in a high-stakes, nail-biting showdown following its nationwide presidential primary elections on Monday.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Appearing on Arise Television’s Prime Time, the National Publicity Secretary of the ADC, Bolaji Abdullahi, lauded the sheer scale of the internal election, boasting that the political structure is entirely free from godfatherism. However, the fiercely contested exercise has already been hit by explosive allegations of fraud and forced step-down plots by a frontline 2027 presidential hopeful.

“No Single Individual Controls Us” — Party Leadership Boasts

Abdullahi painted a picture of absolute democratic transparency, labeling the current exercise as the most unpredictable and competitive internal election he has ever witnessed in his political career:

• Eminently Qualified Field: The party boasts three top-tier aspirants—Mohammed Hayatu-Deen, Atiku Abubakar, and Rotimi Amaechi—all of whom the leadership claims are more qualified to lead than President Bola Tinubu.

• Too Close to Call: The competition is so stiff that party headquarters remains completely in the dark regarding localized victories.

• Massive Turnout: Thousands of party members trooped out across various wards globally to cast their ballots, creating an unpredictable voting pattern.

Bolaji Abdullahi: “The ADC is the only party today that is not controlled by an individual… Even as I speak to you, I cannot tell you who won in my home state, Kwara, and in many other states that I have been closely watching. It is that competitive.”

Hayatu-Deen Blows the Whistle on “Ugly Criminality”

In sharp contrast to the leadership’s glowing review, frontline 2027 presidential aspirant Mohammed Hayatu-Deen has raised an alarm over sophisticated sabotage, intimidation, and electoral malpractice cutting across several northern states.

Speaking shortly after casting his vote in his home state of Borno, the seasoned politician exposed an underground plot to forcefully hijack the tickets:

1. Fake “Step-Down” Propaganda

Hayatu-Deen revealed that criminal elements deliberately misinformed gathered delegates in Kaduna State and Zaria, falsely claiming he had withdrawn from the race under a consensus arrangement to suppress his votes.

2. Result Manipulation & Seclusion

While praising the peaceful turnout in Southern Borno, he alleged that corrupt electoral officials explicitly refused to collate the votes in public. Instead, they reportedly fled to a secluded location to doctor the official result sheets away from voters and agents.

3. Coercive Phone Calls

The aspirant disclosed that he has faced immense psychological pressure from anonymous high-ranking individuals ordering him to abandon his presidential ambitions.

The Screened 3-Man Presidential Grid

The internal friction comes after the ADC officially cleared a heavyweight trio to battle for the party’s ultimate banner:

[ Mohammed Hayatu-Deen ] ⚡ [ Atiku Abubakar ] ⚡ [ Rotimi Amaechi ]

Mohammed Hayatu-Deen: “It is unimaginable that anybody could be so cheeky as to call me to step down… In Zaria, people were denied their rights. This act is criminal and fraudulent. We are not prepared to tolerate this criminality, and we are going to fight it to the end.”

While Hayatu-Deen has vowed to legally challenge the “ugly and disturbing” anomalies to preserve the party’s integrity ahead of the 2027 general elections, the ADC leadership insists the deadlock is merely a symptom of a highly functional, uncompromised democracy.

Nigerian reality TV star and billionaire heir, Kiddwaya, has dropped a historical bombshell that is sparking heavy debate online. The former Big Brother Naija housemate boldly claimed that his billionaire father, Terry Waya, is one of the foundational pillars of modern Nigerian democracy, having personally convinced a military Head of State to hand over power to a civilian government.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Kiddwaya revealed that his father is notoriously private about his massive political achievements, only sharing historic details when specifically questioned.

The Secret Transition Meeting That Changed Nigeria’s History

According to Kiddwaya, the pivotal moment happened immediately after the sudden death of military dictator General Sani Abacha in 1998. He disclosed that his father’s close associate, who was second-in-command, ascended to the presidency and immediately sought the billionaire’s counsel:

• The Presidential Visit: The newly sworn-in military leader allegedly visited Terry Waya’s residence, expressing uncertainty about how to steer the nation forward.

• The Billionaire’s Advice: Terry Waya explicitly advised the military ruler to step aside and transition Nigeria into a democratic state, allowing citizens the right to vote.

• The Hidden Truth: Kiddwaya expressed shock that his father had kept such an monumental piece of Nigerian history a secret from the general public.

Kiddwaya Statement: “When Sani Abacha died, my dad’s close friend was the second in command, so his friend became president. He came to the house and said look, Terry, I’m president now, I don’t really know what to do, what should we do. And my dad said, give it to democracy. Like, make it a democracy so the people can vote. When he told me that, I was like, ‘dad you should tell people this.’ He is one of the reasons Nigeria has a democracy…”

Terry Waya’s Unspoken Legacy: Discovering Banana Island

The reality star also noted that his father never “blows his own trumpet,” citing another massive revelation he only recently discovered through an international media broadcast.

Kiddwaya confessed he had no idea his father was deeply involved in the development and recognition of Banana Island—widely regarded as the most expensive and luxurious piece of real estate across the African continent—until Terry Waya casually mentioned it during an interview with the BBC.

“Put Some Respect on Our Name”

Kiddwaya concluded by stating that learning about these hidden chapters of his father’s life completely changed how he views his family’s legacy, urging Nigerians to recognize the quiet but massive impact Terry Waya has had on the nation’s history.

The Presidency has issued an urgent security warning to residents and religious organizations in Kwara and Kogi states, advising an immediate and temporary suspension of all mountain-top prayer gatherings, popularly known as “Ori Oke.”....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The directive was issued on Monday by Abiodun Essiet, the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to President Bola Tinubu on Community Engagement for the North Central region. The sudden warning comes on the heels of a dangerous surge in violent attacks, mass abductions, and killings by heavily armed gangs across the two states.

Sacred Peaks Turned Into Criminal Hideouts

For decades, thousands of Christian worshippers and spiritual seekers have frequented isolated mountain tops and dense forests for fasting and intense prayer retreats, seeking quietude.

However, the Presidency has revealed that these once-sacred locations have now been heavily compromised:

• Strategic Kidnap Zones: Strategic hilltops and forests have increasingly been seized by bandits and terrorist elements to use as operational hideouts.

• Soft Targets: Worshippers gathering in these remote, isolated areas face an extreme risk of being ambushed, killed, or kidnapped for multi-million Naira ransoms.

• No Security Presence: The far-flung nature of these terrains makes immediate rescue operations by security agencies nearly impossible during an attack.

“God Is Everywhere” — Presidency Pleads for Caution

In the official statement, the Office of the SSA emphasized that spiritual devotion should not come at the cost of human lives, reminding the public that God’s presence is not limited to geographical heights.

Official Presidential Statement: “The Office noted that God is omnipotent and can be worshipped anywhere, stressing that mountains and forests have increasingly become hideouts for bandits and criminal elements, thereby posing security risks to worshippers and communities. We appeal to residents and religious groups in Kwara and Kogi States to temporarily suspend Ori Oke prayer gatherings until the security situation in the affected areas stabilises.”

Growing Insecurity in North Central Nigeria

The security advisory follows a string of deadly incursions by armed bandits in both Kwara and Kogi states over recent months. Entire communities have been raided, dozens of citizens murdered, and travelers abducted along major transit routes.

The Presidency has strongly advised the public to remain highly vigilant, avoid lonely or isolated terrains, and restrict all religious fellowships to secure, well-populated urban areas until normal security is restored to the region’s highlands.
