The National Democratic Party (NDP) has officially named Ada Fredrick as its presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections. The announcement was made during a press conference in Abuja on Monday.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

According to the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Emeka Wachuku, Fredrick emerged as the standard-bearer through a process of consensus affirmation following primaries conducted across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.

Wachuku described Fredrick as a young, tenacious grassroots politician possessing strong leadership capacity and a commitment to “national renewal.“

Tracing her political trajectory, Wachuku noted that Fredrick initially founded the grassroots support group, Ward2Ward. She subsequently established the NDP in 2026, serving as its first national chairman alongside members of the National Working Committee during the party’s first National Executive Council congress.

The party spokesman stated that the selection exercise was observed by officials from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Elaborating on the party’s ideology, Wachuku emphasized that the NDP is built on inclusion, actively promoting youth participation and women’s involvement in leadership.

“NDP is a progressive political family that recognizes the inherent value of the female gender and the energy of the youth,” Wachuku stated.

He further explained that Fredrick’s candidacy embodies the party’s mission to offer Nigerians hope, promote a brighter future, and place the national interest above all other considerations.

Wachuku outlined the party’s key policy focus areas, which include:

  • Development of basic infrastructure to support economic growth.

  • Job creation.

  • Accessible and affordable healthcare.

  • Quality education and human capital investment.

  • Welfare and social support for the elderly and retirees.

He also highlighted a deliberate economic plan to shift Nigeria from an exporter of raw materials to a producer and exporter of finished goods by processing natural resources locally.

On the administrative front, Wachuku pledged that the NDP would run an inclusive government giving women and youth a strong voice in decision-making. He expressed confidence that the party would secure at least 25% of the votes in two-thirds of the states, driven by credibility, discipline, and grassroots mobilization.

In her acceptance speech, titled “Nigeria Needs Women,” Fredrick characterized her emergence as a significant responsibility. She emphasized Nigeria’s urgent need for compassionate and empathetic leadership, noting the crucial role women must play in the nation’s search for better governance.

“This responsibility is huge, but with God on our side, we will do our best,” Fredrick said. “Nigeria has come a long way; a lot is happening, and we need women. At this point in our lives, we need great women who can speak out passionately and be heard. We will do our best to make sure we give Nigerians the light of hope and fulfill all the promises in our manifesto.“

Fredrick announced that the party’s full manifesto, demonstrating why the NDP is a strong political option, will be unveiled shortly.

“I will not fail you; I will not fail my country,” she promised. “I will do my best as a woman, a mother, and a sister. We are calling on Nigerian women and the youth to join hands with us to make Nigeria a better place for all of us.“

Also speaking at the event, David Oroge, the NDP candidate for the House of Representatives (Abuja South), attested to Fredrick’s mobilization skills. Having worked closely with her, Oroge expressed strong belief in her leadership capacity, urging Nigerian youths to support her.

He described Fredrick as “a woman with pure hands and a pure heart, not to rule, but to lead.“

Chelle, who also supervises the Olympic Eagles, will be unavailable for Nigeria’s two-legged U-23 AFCON qualifying tie against the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) because both teams have matches scheduled during the same international window.

Meanwhile, Chelle has selected 23 players for the Super Eagles’ AFCON qualifying matches against Tanzania. Among the notable inclusions are Brighton forward Zadok Yohanna and Molde FC midfielder Daniel Daga.

Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Tinubu, has criticised political commentator Isaac Fayose over his remarks about the City Boy movement’s walk in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

Fayose had taken to social media to question the gathering, describing it as a waste of time and expressing doubts about the number of people who attended the event.

Responding in the comment section of the post, Seyi urged the businessman to conduct himself properly instead of criticising the group’s activities.

He defended the Port Harcourt walk, describing it as a successful and peaceful gathering organised by young Nigerians in support of President Tinubu and his administration.

Seyi wrote: “My content creator Egbon e behave ara yin o. You and I both know that those gallant men and women were there for the city boy walk in PH, which was a success by the way. Vote APC.”

In a related development, Fayose has alleged that he is being targeted with false accusations because of his support for the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi.

The younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, made the allegation in a video shared on his verified Facebook page on Sunday.

He was reacting to a post by an unnamed blogger linking him to a rape allegation, which he denied, describing it as a fabrication intended to damage his reputation because of his refusal to withdraw support for Obi.

Fayose further alleged that individuals who turn down offers from the All Progressives Congress (APC) are often subjected to smear campaigns.
