In an interview with ABN TV, Nkole acknowledged the importance of a shadow government formed by his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), as an essential mechanism to hold the ruling government accountable. He stressed that the opposition plays a vital role in democracy, asserting that without it, the democratic process would lose its integrity.
Reflecting on historical precedents, Nkole highlighted the role of civil societies, like NADECO, in holding military governments accountable, emphasizing that the opposition’s job is not to support the government but to scrutinize and ensure its actions are in line with public interest.
“Opposition is not about seeking to take power but about ensuring that the government delivers effectively on its promises,” Nkole stated. “I urge the Governor to focus on fulfilling his commitments rather than being distracted by the opposition.”
He also called for law enforcement to respect democratic values and refrain from suppressing opposition voices, reinforcing that a robust opposition ensures a thriving democracy.
While offering this counsel, Nkole commended the current administration for initiating the completion of the Arochukwu-Ohafia Federal road, a project left unfinished by the previous PDP government.

Public affairs analyst Sumner Sambo has described the emerging Obi–Kwankwaso (OK) Movement as a natural and encouraging political development ahead of the 2027 general elections.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
He made the remarks on Thursday during an interview on Prime Time, a programme on Arise News, following the unveiling of a joint support structure for Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwaso.
Sambo said he was pleased that supporters of both politicians were coming together, stressing that the movement appears to be driven organically from the grassroots rather than by the candidates themselves.
According to him, this kind of alliance reflects a healthy democratic process and should be encouraged.
However, he urged that the movement maintain transparency in its operations, particularly in the area of funding. He noted that with coordinators already appointed across states, zones, and the national level, accountability should be prioritised.
Meanwhile, Peter Obi, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), said his recent visit to Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed was aimed at promoting national unity.
The meeting, held at the Presidential Lounge of the Government House in Bauchi, was attended by Igbo elders, ADC senators from the South-East, and other political associates.
Obi said the engagement formed part of broader efforts to strengthen unity in the country and called for collective action toward national renewal, expressing concern about Nigeria’s current challenges.
