As the campaign for the Edo State governorship election scheduled for September 21, 2024, draws to close, unsettling remarks have surfaced from some political parties.

One party openly acknowledged having presented fake leaders in the past, sparking concerns about what they might offer this time around—perhaps even less credible options.

Another party has fueled tension by declaring the election a do-or-die affair, heightening fears of violence and desperation.

In stark contrast, the Labour Party has taken a different approach. Addressing these concerning statements, Labour Party leader and former presidential candidate, Peter Obi, reassured the public of his party’s commitment to genuine leadership and peaceful elections.

Speaking to supporters, Obi emphasized that the Labour Party’s focus is on offering leaders with competence, capacity, and compassion, qualities he believes are crucial for driving meaningful change.

“For us, elections are not a war; they are an opportunity to present authentic leadership to the people,” Obi stated passionately.

He criticized the notion of politics being turned into a battlefield, urging voters to reject leaders who see elections as a means of power-grabbing rather than nation-building.

Obi emphasized that true leadership should be about serving the people and fostering development, not about personal gain or manipulation.

Obi’s message was clear: The Labour Party’s vision is for a Nigeria where elections are based on policies, not propaganda or violence.

“A new Nigeria is possible,” he declared, reinforcing the party’s slogan.

He expressed optimism that Edo State could set a new standard in this election by rejecting divisive politics and choosing a path toward progress and good governance.

As Edo State prepares for the polls, Peter Obi’s call for peaceful, issue-based campaigning resonated with many who are weary of political violence and broken promises.

His remarks came as a timely reminder of the importance of electing leaders who are not only competent but also committed to the welfare of the people.

Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju has praised top opposition figures for uniting to challenge the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of the 2027 elections. Adeyanju commended leaders from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and others for leaving the party to align with the African Democratic Congress (ADC), describing the move as long overdue.

Notable names like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, ex-Senate President David Mark, former Jigawa Governor Sule Lamido, and others have dumped the PDP to adopt the ADC as their new platform to confront President Bola Tinubu’s government in the next polls. They’ve also called on other PDP members to join forces for what they describe as a collective push for change.

Reacting on Facebook, Adeyanju expressed excitement, saying it’s good to see the opposition finally working together. “I’m proud they’ve come together at last. Special appreciation to Atiku, Obi, and the others for setting aside personal interests to make this possible,” he wrote.

He further encouraged NNPP’s Rabiu Kwankwaso to join the alliance, saying this unity was exactly what the opposition lacked in the last election. “Whenever you wake up is your morning. Good morning to the opposition,” he added.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to rumours suggesting that President Bola Tinubu may have been displeased with Abdullahi Ganduje, the former Governor of Kano State, who recently stepped down as the party’s National Chairman.

There have been claims that Tinubu’s alleged dissatisfaction with Ganduje played a role in his resignation. However, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, dismissed those claims during an interview with Channels Television on Sunday, describing them as mere speculation.

Morka explained that only President Tinubu can personally address the matter concerning Ganduje if he chooses to. “The President is free to speak on any issue whenever he feels like it. He hasn’t said anything about this, so people are just speculating. But we don’t run on speculation,” Morka stated.

Last week, the APC confirmed Ganduje’s resignation, which took immediate effect. The official reason given was that Ganduje was stepping down to focus on “pressing personal matters.”
