Stefanik had previously appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee just a day following Trump’s inauguration on January 21 for her confirmation hearing.

She was anticipated to breeze through the confirmation process with some bipartisan backing. However, the vote was never set up.

Coalition Leader Denies Sight of Peter Obi for a Year, ADC Chairman Nwosu Claims – International Edition (English)

As political alliances shifted leading up to the 2027 general elections, Ralph Nwosu, who serves as the National Chairman of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), mentioned that over the last year, he hasn’t encountered Peter Obi, the presidential nominee for the Labour Party.

Speaking to journalists in Abuja at the 97th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the ADC, Nwosu stated that if Obi values what the party is doing and wishes to join them, they would be more than happy to welcome him with open arms.

When asked about alliances with other parties, Nwosu revealed that the ADC is holding discussions with the People’s Redemption Party (PRP) as well as various civil society groups.

At the NEC meeting, the ADC Chairman commented, “One of our resolutions aims to establish ‘the handshake’ as a nationwide tradition in Nigeria by October 1st. This custom will be observed in each of the country’s 36 states.”

The second resolution states that according to one of our guidelines, you must be part of the ADC party for at least two years before being able to contest an election within the organization. However, due to many individuals advocating for more flexibility, we are modifying this rule. If you decide to join ADC today, you will immediately become eligible to run for elections or take on a leadership role within the party without having to wait those two years. Therefore, we are adopting this new resolution which eliminates the waiting period requirement.

We have considered organizing a national convention as well. Some among us, including myself, do not plan to vie for the position of National Chairman this time around. My intention is not to seek office; instead, I wish to pass the torch to fellow Nigerians capable of rallying more than 80 million citizens. We aim to enter the upcoming political phase alongside regular Nigerians known for their integrity and lack of corrupt practices. These politicians will confront Nigeria’s challenges head-on and declare ‘enough is enough.’

Nwosu was asked whether he had met with Peter Obi. He replied, “In the last twelve months, I haven’t encountered Mr. Peter Obi; we can’t engage with him at this time. However, should he decide to observe what we’re undertaking after witnessing it firsthand—though our efforts aren’t geared toward politicians but rather towards uplifting Nigerians—I’m far more invested in the African Farmers Club, which boasts over ten million members. If his observation of ADC leads him to conclude ‘enough is enough’ and prompts him to want to align himself with us, then we would gladly extend an invitation to join forces—we welcome them all as our doors remain wide open.”

We are holding meetings with PRP and various civil society groups, these traditions of confronting Nigerians head-on and declaring that enough is enough, we will appeal to Nigerians to embrace us.

Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan Must Issue Public Apology for Scandalous Conduct on Global Platform — Campaign for Democracy

oleh admin | Mar 27, 2025 | controversies, government, politics, politics and government, politics and law

The recall process will enhance democracy and keep legislators on their toes.

LAGOS

The Campaign for Democracy has stated that the measures implemented by the suspended senator from Kogi Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, following the “preventable” crisis that emerged several weeks ago, have subjected Nigeria’s reputation to scrutiny on an international stage.

The leading civil society organization voiced worry that instead of tackling the fundamental problems related to her suspension through Nigeria’s democratic systems, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan opted for “a smear campaign against the Senate as an institution.”

On Thursday, the organization issued a statement under their President’s signature stating that Akpoti-Uduaghan’s actions both domestically and internationally have unfortunately tarnished Nigeria’s reputation from the onset of this dispute; thus, they demanded her apology.

As per the organization, this constitutes severe misbehavior towards Nigeria.

Nevertheless, the statement urged esteemed Nigerian leaders to consistently recognize instances where they should refrain from engaging in opposition politics concerning sensitive national matters, for the country’s benefit.

More concerning is the distortion of facts leading up to her suspension, along with her persistent claim of sexual harassment allegations against the Senate President as justification for the initial actions taken against her.

“Bringing this kind of misinformation onto an international platform and falsely portraying Nigeria at the Inter Parliamentary Union to express these opinions can only be termed as severe misconduct towards the nation, warranting her apology. It’s important not to confuse this matter with political issues,” the statement read.

The CD expressed confusion about why the beleaguered senator had lost faith in Nigeria’s judicial system.

“The CSO pointed out that having already brought her concerns to the court, she should have let the legal proceedings unfold as intended,” they stated.

It pointed out that resorting to media trials, soliciting pity from international spectators while discrediting the institutions capable of addressing her issues has diminished the empathy she might have received from impartial civil society organizations and Nigerians as a whole.

Her present adversarial strategy does not serve any constructive purpose apart from bringing scorn upon Nigeria’s democratic institutions.

“As a public servant, she must maintain the integrity of her position and foster national unity instead of involving the nation in unwarranted international disputes,” stated the leading proponent of enhanced democracy.

The activists praised the voters of Kogi Central for upholding their constitutional rights by initiating a recall process, stating, “This represents a crucial move toward bolstering democracy in Nigeria.”

“If legislators realize that their positions are not assured and can be influenced by public sentiment, they would focus more on serving others rather than pursuing personal gains. Being accountable is essential,” they stated.

and mentioned its aim to maintain justice, fairness, and the federal ethos.

In response to a tweet from the Telangana Chief Minister, Stalin mentioned the Joint Action Committee meeting that took place in Chennai earlier this month and stated, “We won’t allow anyone to unfairly reshape India’s future.”

“Resolved in Chennai, implemented in Hyderabad! The honorable Chief Minister of Telangana, Shri Revanth Anumula Garu, has turned words into action by presenting and securing approval for a significant resolution in the #Telangana State Legislature. This demands #FairDelimitation to ensure justice, equality, and the essence of federalism. Building upon the example set by Tamil Nadu, this move bolsters the unified demand against any efforts threatening the stability of our democratic system,” as shared by Stalin on X.

“This is merely the start. As the second #JointActionCommittee meeting is scheduled to occur in Hyderabad, additional states will join in. No one will be allowed to unjustly reshape India’s future without resistance,” he stated.

In his tweet, Revanth Reddy mentioned the resolution adopted by the state legislature.

“As the head of the Telangana Legislative Assembly, we adopted a resolution today urging the Central government not to undertake any actions that infringe upon the political dignity and rightful privileges of our citizens,” he stated.

“Residents of Telangana and people from various southern Indian states stand together to safeguard our rights and ensure that no discriminatory or partial delimitation occurs, as this could severely affect the most economically productive regions of the nation. We will resist every effort aimed at stripping us of our rights. Today marked a victory in our initial confrontation. Though the upcoming battles may be lengthy, we remain confident of ultimate triumph,” he concluded.

The Telangana Legislative Assembly passed a resolution on Thursday voicing deep concern about the approaching issue of

“The House encourages that any

The exercise must be conducted openly and following comprehensive discussions with all state governments, every political party, and various stakeholders. States that have successfully enforced the population control initiative advocated by the central government—and as a result have seen their demographic shares decrease—should not face penalties. Therefore, population shouldn’t be the only metric for evaluation.

,” it added.

The resolution pointed out that the objective of the 42nd, 84th, and 87th constitutional amendments—which were designed to achieve nationwide population control—has not been completely fulfilled. Instead, it proposed maintaining the current limit on parliamentary constituencies but recommended redrawing their borders to improve representation for Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and women.

“Therefore, while maintaining the current freeze on the number of parliamentary seats based on states, we can proceed with redrawing the boundaries of parliamentary constituencies. This would include increasing the representation of Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) according to the most recent population data, along with reserving seats for women,” the resolution noted.
