NFP Calls For Tinubu, Global Intervention After INEC’s Shocking Rejection.
According to Nivo News, the National Freedom Party (NFP) has strongly criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for refusing to register it as a political party, describing the commission’s decision as unjust and procedurally flawed.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The party revealed at a press briefing in its national secretariat in Abuja that INEC rejected its application on the grounds that its proposed logo, which features a zebra, bears resemblance to the horse emblem of the Social Democratic Party (SDP).
Engr. Donnie Oluwafemi Akingbade, the National Publicity Secretary of the NFP, disclosed that the party submitted its application for registration in July 2023 and duly received an acknowledgment from INEC. However, after more than two years of silence, the commission informed them that the application had been declined because of the alleged similarity in logos.
Akingbade argued that the NFP met all the statutory requirements as provided under the Electoral Act, citing relevant sections of the law to back the party’s claim. He insisted that INEC’s rejection was unfair and inconsistent with the legal framework governing party registration.
Also speaking, the Protem National Chairman of the party, Dr. Anthony Harmattan, appealed to President Bola Tinubu as well as the international community to intervene in the matter, warning that any further delay in granting registration could undermine preparations for the 2027 general elections.
The NFP maintained that its vision is to safeguard freedom, dignity, and the wellbeing of Nigerians, while pledging to partner with government to enhance national development. The party urged INEC to revisit its decision and approve its registration without further delay.

Factional Labour Party South-West Vice Chairman, Abayomi Arabambi, has insisted that the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, will never be allowed to return to the Labour Party.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Arabambi said attempts by the Nenadi Usman-led faction to reintegrate Obi would fail, stressing that the party’s leadership has taken a final position on the matter.
He made the statement during an interview on News Central, saying the decision followed internal consultations involving key figures such as the Julius Abure-led leadership and Abia State Governor Alex Otti.
According to him, the party has also resolved to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s re-election bid in 2027.
Arabambi further blamed Obi and his supporters for contributing to Labour Party’s internal challenges during the 2023 elections, alleging organizational failures during the polls.
He maintained that Obi’s return to the party is completely off the table, insisting that the issue is already settled within the party’s leadership structure.
The New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) has dismissed claims by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar that it is part of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In a statement on Thursday, NNPP National Secretary Ogini Olaposi said the party is not affiliated with the ADC and has no plans to join or merge with the coalition.
He clarified that the involvement of former Kano State Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso and members of the Kwankwasiya Movement in ADC activities does not represent the NNPP as a political party.
Olaposi also claimed that only a minority of Kwankwasiya supporters followed Kwankwaso, insisting that many of them have since joined the APC.
He further accused Atiku of misinformation, stressing that NNPP remains an independent political party focused on contesting elections on its own platform.
According to him, any previous association with the Kwankwasiya Movement ended after the 2023 general elections, adding that Kwankwaso and some associates had already been expelled from the party.
The NNPP maintained that it respects other political parties but has no interest in joining the ADC coalition.
