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.

Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele has emphasized that any proposed state police services must possess guaranteed financial independence to protect them from potential manipulation by governors, political actors, criminal elements, and other powerful interests. Bamidele, who is also the Vice-Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 Constitution, proposed that funding for these services should be placed on a first-line charge as part of the ongoing constitutional amendment process.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Key aspects of Bamidele’s proposal and the National Assembly’s approach include:

  • Addressing Stakeholder Concerns: Bamidele acknowledged that fears regarding the potential abuse of state police by influential individuals are legitimate and well-founded, noting that these concerns are partially rooted in Nigeria’s experience with regional police control during the First Republic.

  • Multi-layered Safeguards: The National Assembly is working to develop a system of checks and safeguards designed to ensure professional discipline, institutional independence, and financial autonomy.

  • Judiciary-Style Funding: To prevent police chiefs from being subject to the “whims and caprices” of state governors, Bamidele suggested a funding model similar to that of the judiciary, which is protected under the Constitution and does not require routine executive approval.

  • Constitutional Guarantees: Bamidele stated that the 1999 Constitution should provide guaranteed funding sources for both State Commissioners of Police and State Police Service Commissions.

  • Continued Engagement: The National Assembly intends to maintain stakeholder engagement throughout the constitutional amendment process required to establish state police services across the country.
