reports that the position was contained in a statement released on Friday and signed by the movement’s spokesperson, Habibu Sale Mohammed.

The group commended the Supreme Court for what it described as firmness and clarity in addressing the dispute, adding that the ruling reinforced due process.

It described the judgment, which overturned earlier orders that had caused confusion within the party, as a positive step toward restoring order and strengthening democratic institutions.

The statement read, “By correcting the procedural irregularities that led to the artificial suspension of party leadership, the court has restored order and reaffirmed that institutions must operate within the bounds of the law.”

Although the substantive matter has been referred back to the trial court, the movement said the ruling has already laid a foundation for fairness and proper judicial consideration moving forward.

Concerns Over Political Implications

The Kwankwasiyya Movement explained that it is carefully analysing the implications of the judgment due to the limited time left in the electoral cycle.

It stated, “At this critical juncture, we are carefully studying the judgment and rigorously analysing its implications, particularly in light of the limited time within the electoral cycle.”

According to the group, this step is necessary to ensure that its leader and other key political actors are not affected by any legal or political complications that could hinder their participation in the 2027 elections.

It added, “This is necessary to ensure that we do not inadvertently fall into any political or legal trap that could undermine or prevent our principal and other key actors within the opposition from effectively participating in the 2027 general elections.”

The movement further disclosed that it is considering all lawful and strategic political options, including possible collaborations with other parties.

It mentioned platforms such as the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) as part of its ongoing consultations.

According to the statement, the group’s priority is to safeguard democratic participation and ensure citizens are not disenfranchised.

“Our objective remains clear: to safeguard our political rights, protect democratic participation, and ensure that no contrived circumstances are allowed to silence the voice of the people,” it said.

The movement assured supporters that a formal decision on its political direction would be announced soon.

“In no distant time, an official position of our leader regarding a new political alignment will be communicated,” the statement added.

It also emphasized the importance of strong democratic institutions and active citizen engagement in sustaining Nigeria’s democracy.

“Nigeria’s democracy must be protected not only by the strength of its institutions but by the courage of its people to stand firm in the face of uncertainty,” it said.

Members were urged to remain calm and focused as consultations continue, with the movement reaffirming its unity and commitment to the democratic process.

Anyone Dumping ADC After Losing Ticket Is Compromised – Kenneth Okonkwo Warns.

Published

on

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Kenneth Okonkwo, has said that any aspirant who leaves the party after failing to secure its presidential ticket is indirectly working for President Bola Tinubu.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Okonkwo made this statement on Saturday during an interview on Channels Television, insisting that such a move amounts to being politically compromised.

He maintained that any presidential hopeful who exits the party simply because they did not get the ticket is not acting in good faith.

His comments come amid growing speculation that former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, may defect from the ADC to the Nigerian Democratic Congress (NDC).

He said, “Well, if he leaves, will he now be a mobile squatter? If anyone who doesn’t get the ADC presidential ticket leaves the party for another platform, he is compromised and working for Tinubu.”

Meanwhile, Okonkwo has also accused members of the “City Boy Movement” (CBM) of sacrificing their principles for personal benefit.

In a recent interview on Symfoni TV, he described the group supporting President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid as political opportunists.

He further argued that their alignment reflects what he called dependence on “crumbs” from the presidency.

According to him, the Igbo people have distanced themselves from such political alignment, stressing that some individuals endorsing the President do not represent the collective interest or dignity of Ndigbo.

He said, “The Igbo have rejected them. It is an insult to Ndigbo. We wear our Isiagu because we hunt for our food with dignity, like lions, and eat fresh meat. We don’t scavenge like vultures.”

He further described those seeking political favour through the movement as “political children drinking from the feeding bottle of Tinubu,” adding that he prefers to maintain personal dignity rather than seek relevance through what he termed “rotten crumbs.”

Okonkwo, who has become a prominent opposition voice in recent years, also noted that he has built his livelihood through his skills and talent rather than relying on political patronage.

reports that the news broke on Friday after Bewaji shared a post on Instagram expressing joy over a safe delivery and introducing their newborn son, named Jamal Iremide.

Portable later confirmed the arrival on his own social media page, where he thanked Bewaji and celebrated the newest addition to his family.

Despite the loss in the ring, Portable expressed greater excitement about becoming a father again, saying the moment meant more to him than the fight. He revealed that the child was born while he was still involved in the boxing event.

He wrote: “God bless you more, Omoleye Omobewaji mi. Thanks for making me happy. I have given birth, congratulations to me. I thought I would carry a belt, but I carried my child instead. You can buy a belt with money, but you can’t buy a child.

“While my wife was in labour, I was fighting. She gave birth to a boy. I wanted a third belt for my children; I already have two. I have given birth, you can have the belt.”
