So far none of the Presidential candidates seem to have a specific agenda on how to solve the nation’s insecurity and kidnappings. What is even more worrying is that those seeking political power often speak in slogans rather than solutions. It is easy to stand on a campaign stage and declare, “I will end insecurity.” The real question is how? What exactly will you do differently? Are you bringing police and soldiers from mars different from the once we have today?

How will you stop kidnappings on highways and in villages? How will you secure forests that have become safe havens for criminals? How will you improve intelligence gathering? How will you equip and motivate security personnel? How will you address the poverty, unemployment, and governance failures that criminal groups exploit for recruitment?

Listen, every serious security problem requires a detailed strategy. Citizens deserve more than promises. They deserve a clear roadmap with measurable targets, timelines, and accountability.

A nation cannot develop when its people live in fear. Farmers abandon their farms, investors stay away, schools close, and communities become deserted. Security is not just another government responsibility; it is the foundation upon which every other aspect of development rests.

The debate should no longer be about who can make the loudest promises. It should be about who has the most practical, realistic, and well-thought-out plan to protect lives and property. Until we start demanding detailed solutions instead of political slogans, insecurity may continue to remain one of Nigeria’s greatest challenges. Can any of these politicians perform differently or are we back to the blame game?

It takes extra ordinary courage for any justice system anywhere in the world to convict a corrupt Nigerian Public officer. The reason is simple: When they steal, they plan, execute & they cover thier tracks. Mike Jackson called it “ Smooth Criminal”.

I just read about a Kano businessman kidnapped and ransom of 500m paid, yet he was still killed. To be frank, Nigeria does not need another election now, we need to sit down and decide how we move forward. It can happen to anyone

23 came with hope and excitement of a better future, but Nigeria won and returned us to ground zero. 27 is coming with mixed feelings and hopelessness. The tempo is gone, we are more concerned about insecurity than elections.

A federal high court in Abuja ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister five political parties, they are the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Action Peoples Party (APP), Action Alliance (AA), Accord Party (AP) and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP)
The basis of the judgment was that the parties failed to meet the constitutional threshold for continued registration as political parties.

The judgment relied on provisions of the Constitution requiring political parties to demonstrate a minimum level of electoral performance. The court found that the parties had failed to secure the required electoral results and therefore ordered INEC to remove them from its register.

According to reports of the judgment, the court specifically stated that the parties failed to secure the electoral benchmark required by law, including the threshold relating to obtaining at least 25% of votes in a state during a presidential election or winning elective seats.

The court further directed INEC not to allow the affected parties to participate in future elections, including the 2027 general elections, unless the judgment is overturned on appeal.

ADC has already announced that it will appeal the ruling. Until the appellate process is concluded and INEC acts on the judgment, the legal status of the parties could still change.

My advice to the aggrieved parties. Listen carefully. Not every action is based on corruption, some things are common sense. If administrative procedures show you do not meet the requirements, stop trying to fight it, now that you still have time, regroup, rebrand, join NDC and form a new coalition and proceed. Note the language used by the court. “ constitutional threshold “. This is not activism, this is not social media noise making, this is law.

Going on appeal is foolishness and you will walk into a trap. Appeal may not be heard until it is too late to regroup. We call that strategy! Take wise counsel, join NDC form a new coalition or better still choose another party. To challenge a master strategist, like the boss in A*o rock, you need to be one step ahead.

Good morning Africa!

Guardian Nigeria reports

“ Bandits reportedly released the body of retired General Rabe in Katsina and moved into a nearby forest without resistance.”

Atiku and Amaechi, an unusual combination. Just thinking out loud. Atiku can carry some states in the North, can Amaechi pull Rivers State from Wike? Atiku & Obi would have made sense not Amaechi. Battle lost b4 it begins

Its senseless to be campaigning at a time children are still in the forest going 3 weeks. Also, making a careless comment like “only God can save us from bandits” is utter nonsense. God will not intervene on things man can fix. Insecurity is man-made
