Written By Oshiobugie John

Olumide Osaigbovo Akpata’s gubernatorial candidacy in Edo State stands out due to his proactive and inclusive approach, setting him apart from his competitors. As the first candidate to complete a comprehensive tour of the entire state, Akpata demonstrated his commitment to understanding the diverse needs of all Edolites. This initial tour allowed him to connect directly with the people, listen to their concerns, and tailor his campaign to address the specific challenges faced by various communities. His efforts to engage with diaspora Edolites on an international level further underscore his dedication to representing Edo citizens across the globe.

In addition to his extensive outreach efforts, Akpata’s background as a former President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) bolsters his reputation as a capable leader. During his tenure, he was known for his exceptional leadership skills, advocating for transparency, justice, and the rule of law. These qualities have translated into his political campaign, where he emphasizes the importance of good governance and accountability. His legal expertise and commitment to ethical practices resonate with voters who seek a candidate with a strong track record in both public and private sectors.

Another factor contributing to Akpata’s dominance is his relentless work ethic. After completing his first state tour, Akpata wasted no time in launching a second campaign tour, underscoring his dedication to staying connected with the electorate. This ongoing engagement reflects his readiness to carry the people of Edo State along in his journey to the governorship.

Furthermore, Akpata’s ability to address critical issues such as economic development, infrastructure improvement, and women empowerment has garnered significant support. His detailed manifesto, which outlines practical solutions to these pressing challenges, contrasts sharply with the often vague promises of his opponents. This clear vision for the future of Edo State, backed by his demonstrated leadership and work ethic, positions Akpata as the most formidable candidate in the race, making him the preferred choice for many voters.

The Federal Workers Forum has issued a notice of potential indefinite national industrial action, citing escalating insecurity and a failure to resolve critical wage grievances. The following summary details the forum’s position:....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

    • Leadership Critique: The forum, represented by National Coordinator Mr. Emelieze and Secretary Mr. Ayo Ogundele, has criticized the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for failing to provide adequate leadership regarding these worker concerns.

    • Wage Implementation Issues: The group reports that an online poll of members strongly supports a strike. They allege the July 2024 minimum wage adjustment provided only a taxable ₦40,000 uniform increase, which they claim delivered no meaningful benefit.

    • Broken Promises: Workers claim that a 40% peculiar allowance promised by the Head of the Civil Service, Didi Walson-Jack, for May 1, 2026, was subsequently rejected by the Office of the Accountant-General. Furthermore, they report that May 2026 salaries did not include the wage awards promised by the Minister of Finance, and consequential adjustments remain unpaid.

    • Outstanding Entitlements: The forum highlighted long-standing arrears, including two months of wage awards from July 2024, unpaid promotion arrears, and outstanding Duty Tour Allowance claims.

    • Rejection of Proposals: The group has rejected a ₦100,000 minimum wage proposal backed by the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, labeling it a “Greek gift” aimed at suppressing earnings, and instead is demanding a living wage and a cost-of-living allowance.

    • Insecurity Concerns: Beyond economic issues, the forum expressed alarm over the rise in kidnappings and violent attacks, specifically citing recent incidents in Oyo and Borno states.

    • Government Demands: The forum has urged the NLC and TUC to engage the government on these hardships and has called on the government to secure the release of all hostages, including teachers and schoolchildren. Additionally, the group suggested that the National Assembly consider legislation regarding civilian firearm ownership and that a sovereign national conference be convened to address the nation’s challenges.

The Labour Party (LP) has officially pushed back against accusations of fraud and sabotage leveled by disqualified presidential aspirant, Peter Agada. Following his exclusion from the party’s May 30 presidential primary, Agada’s campaign council petitioned for a refund of his ₦150 million nomination fee, alleging that the party leadership knowingly accepted the payment despite his intended disqualification due to the party’s zoning policy.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • Zoning Policy: LP National Publicity Secretary, Asogwa, maintained that the decision to zone the presidency to the South was not a recent or secret development.

  • Constitutional Ratification: The policy was formally adopted and ratified on April 28, 2026, during the party’s national convention, which serves as the LP’s highest decision-making authority.

  • Binding Resolutions: These convention resolutions are binding on all stakeholders, meaning no aspirants are exempt from the established zoning framework.

  • Aspirant Risk: Asogwa argued that Agada undertook a personal political risk by purchasing forms and campaigning while the zoning arrangement was already public knowledge.

  • Dismissal of Claims: The party dismissed Agada’s additional claims of spending over ₦300 million as irrelevant to the constitutional enforcement of party rules.

  • Institutional Integrity: The LP asserted that the disqualification was a necessary measure to maintain internal cohesion and balance, rather than an act of vindictiveness against a specific individual.
