Only a Few States in the North Have NDC Structures — Sambo The NDC has virtually no structure. At the national level, it is struggling to build one. The only way it can improve on what it currently has is to broaden consultations. The NDC must position itself as... show more

Kwankwaso Has Been The Force Behind Most Parties' Victories Not The Candidates He Brings— Sumner Sambo The challenges they are having in Kano shouldn’t be arising now. Why will Kwankwaso be having problems instead of being given the structures in Kano to take charge? We expect Peter Obi to use Kwankwaso’s leverage to show political leadership in his party.

Nigerians Should Disregard Figures from APC Presidential Primaries; Governors Are Trying to Please Tinubu — Sambo In 2022, the APC told Nigerians it had 41 million members, yet President Tinubu emerged with fewer than 9 million votes in 2023. The APC is not a party to be trusted with figures from its own processes. The party currently claims 12 million registered voters, and yet it’s being said that Tinubu received 11 million votes. The governors are trying to outdo each other to please him. Sumner Sambo, ARISE Politics Editor and Director of News

The Obidient Movement is Greater Than Peter Obi Himself - Sambo If I were Peter Obi, I would look for a way to structure it above my ambition. If Obi doesn’t make it in 2027, this group of young Nigerians will continue, and I liken them to the Zikist movement of the 1940s-1950s. Sumner Sambo, Director of News, Arise News

FG's Sending Troops to the Republic of Benin Was Very Good and It's What's Required of a Bigger Nation - Sambo President Tinubu has to follow the law. The actual power that grants the executive the authority to go to war is the National Assembly. It is a very serious thing the president did, and if the law is not followed, it could be an impeachable offence against the president. Sumner Sambo, Director of News, Arise News

Today I was elected the Deputy Chairman (NDC South West). It is a great honour to serve in our great Party, the Nigeria Democratic Congress. It is not out of place to say that NDC's first ever National Convention is the best and one of its kind. I am delighted to have led a strong and coordinated South West and Lagos delegation to the NDC National Convention in Abuja, where party stakeholders gathered to discuss the future of the party ahead of the 2027 general elections. She also joined other party leaders in welcoming dignitaries, stakeholders, lawmakers, youth groups, and supporters from across the country to the convention. The South West delegation recorded one of the convention’s most visible and organized representations, actively participating in strategic meetings, leadership consultations, and other convention activities. Supporters from across the region also reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening the party’s structure and unity. Pastor Dayo Ekong Akin-Taylor Chairman, NDC South West

INEC Cannot Tell a Political Party Who Is or Ought to Be Its Candidate - Sambo What INEC can do is be a witness to how a candidate emerges, take down notes, and preserve them, and if the process goes to court, they can present that in court. If the process does not go to court, INEC must accept the candidate presented by the party. Sumner Sambo, Director of News, Arise News

Opposition Parties Cannot Continue Accusing The Governing APC Of Monopolising Victories — Sambo The elections have shown that opposition political parties have to put in the work. They need to show capacity. Judging from the political angle of the election in Ekiti, the opposition didn’t give a very good performance. We need to question the facts coming out from the election, what exactly was the opposition doing to the extent that results coming out do not reflect what happened in the 2018 and 2022 elections which were very much intense?

BREAKING: Crisis Hits Kano NDC as Seriake Dickson Reportedly Rejects Kwankwasiyya-Dominated Candidate List A fresh crisis appears to be unfolding within the Kano State chapter of the NDC following reports that the Supreme Leader of the party, Senator Seriake Dickson, has rejected the list of Kano NDC candidates allegedly dominated by members of the Kwankwasiyya camp. According to Kano NDC spokesperson, Ibrahim Waya, Senator Dickson has directed Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to implement the agreed 60/40 sharing formula between the Kwankwasiyya bloc and the old NDC structure in the state. The development has triggered serious tension within the party, as old NDC members reportedly accuse the Kwankwasiyya camp of attempting to hijack the party structure and impose its loyalists across key positions. Party insiders say the rejection of the candidate list is a major setback for Kwankwaso’s camp and could deepen the internal battle for control of the NDC in Kano ahead of the 2027 elections. The crisis also raises fresh questions about the stability of the NDC in Kano, especially as both camps now appear locked in a struggle over party ownership, candidate selection, and political control. More details soon.

Nigerians Should Be Focusing On Money Being Embezzled, Not The Atiku-Tinubu Dispute - Sambo You listened to Peter Obi yesterday when he made it clear that the issues that should dominate our attention as Nigerians are not being discussed. Instead, the focus should be on what political parties will do to promote good governance, reduce the number of out-of-school children, cut the cost of governance, and take a critical look at the corruption within government.

The NDC should be very careful. A large number of internally displaced politicians, especially from the APC, are now rushing to join the NDC because of the consensus arrangement. If they continue to flood in, it will surely create problems within the NDC. — Rufai Oseni on Arise this morning.

Gladys Wanga, Chairperson ODM: There is only one NDC called in accordance to section 49 of our constitution, a special delegates conference, a 21-day notice given, delegates invited. It will be at Jamhuri Park; anything else would be maybe a kamukunji, a baraza, a political rally, a birthday party, but there is only one NDC of the ODM party that will be taking place this Friday. The NDC is not something I wake up and say this is an NDC, it is called in line with the constitution of the party. Anybody else trying to spread confusion, it is only that, confusion #JKLive

Atiku can win this election, and I’m very confident about it. From what I’m seeing in the North, Zamfara may be the only state Atiku could struggle to share with the APC. But what I’m seeing in the North right now is only fighting that can make Tinubu win because people are not happy with what is happening. As for Peter Obi, I honestly don’t see him winning the election based on the current political structure. Any serious politician who looks at the numbers and the structure on ground will understand that the strongest Northern challenger is Kwankwaso, and even he is heavily dependent on Kano. Before now, we could talk about Kano, Katsina and Jigawa as strong Kwankwaso northern bases. But the political landscape has changed. Many of the people and structures from these areas are now with the ADC. When the NDC emerged, they didn’t move there they remained with the ADC. That is why, looking at the structure on ground, I believe Atiku has a realistic path to victory in 2027. NDC Senator Rufai Hanga

Atiku’s Insistence to Contest Despite Zoning Convention Will Deepen Our Democratic Journey — Sambo The Constitution is clear that any qualified Nigerian can run for the office of President. The rotational practice we have had is just an informal arrangement. By putting himself forward as the leading northern candidate at a time when it is supposed to be the South’s turn, he will enrich our constitutional democracy. Meritocracy must remain the focus of elections. This zoning convention has made many politicians complacent, content to simply wait for their turn.
