“It is with sorrow and concern that I learned of the recent attacks against various communities in Nigeria, resulting in a heavy loss of life.

On the same day, over 20 people were reportedly killed in an attack on Doma community, Tafoki Ward, Faskari Local Government Area, Katsina State, as suspected bandits stormed the area in large numbers, causing mass casualties before escaping.

Supporters of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, have criticised former Vice President Atiku Abubakar over his recent remarks on Nigeria’s presidency and are calling on the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to zone its 2027 presidential ticket to the South.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The group, known as the PETOOPO movement, made the demand during a press briefing at the Nigeria Union of Journalists Secretariat in Jos, Plateau State.
Speaking at the event, the National Convener, Magnus Oraka, said the group was issuing what he described as two “urgent and non-negotiable advisories” on political fairness and electoral credibility.
He stated that the briefing was aimed at addressing concerns involving both the ADC leadership and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Oraka urged the ADC to ensure its presidential candidate emerges from the Southern region ahead of the 2027 election.
According to him, fielding a Northern candidate could weaken opposition unity and affect the party’s chances at the polls.
He argued that zoning the ticket to the South would promote balance and strengthen political stability ahead of the election.
The group also dismissed Atiku’s recent comments suggesting imbalance in Nigeria’s rotational presidency, insisting that historical records support their position that the South has a stronger claim to the office in the current cycle.
Oraka further criticised Atiku’s repeated presidential bids, describing them as a distraction to national unity and urging him to step aside for Southern aspirants.
In addition, the PETOOPO movement called for the resignation of the Chairman of INEC, Joash Amupitan, accusing him of partisanship and interference in internal party matters.
Oraka alleged that recent actions by the electoral body had raised concerns about its neutrality and ability to conduct fair elections.
The group warned that failure to address their demands could escalate political tensions, while insisting that fairness, zoning, and electoral credibility remain central to Nigeria’s democratic process ahead of 2027.

Reports indicate that the damaged vehicle was later moved to the Nasarawa State House of Assembly complex in Lafia.
The Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Dr. Danladi Jatau, alongside other lawmakers, inspected the wrecked vehicle at the Assembly premises on the same day.
Describing the incident as unfortunate, Jatau expressed gratitude to God that no lives were lost.
“We thank Almighty God for saving the life of the Deputy Speaker from the auto crash. We are grateful that he is alive and safe,” he said.
According to reports, the Deputy Speaker is currently in stable condition.
Meanwhile, political activities in Nasarawa State have continued to build up as Governor Abdullahi Sule declared Senator Aliyu Wadada as his preferred governorship candidate under the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections.
The governor made the announcement during a meeting with political appointees at the Government House in Lafia, signalling early alignments within the party as succession politics gains momentum.
Senator Wadada, who represents Nasarawa West in the 10th Senate, recently defected from the Social Democratic Party to the APC, a move widely seen as part of his preparation for the governorship race.
