 BALA MOHAMMED'S CANDOR: A LESSON IN STATESMANSHIP FOR THE SOUR GRAPES OPPOSITION By Okoi Obono-Obla  Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State deserves unreserved commendation for his rare candour and statesmanship. In an era where opposition politics in Nigeria has been reduced to perpetual wailing, cynicism and playing to the gallery, Bala Mohammed has risen above partisanship to speak truth to power in the most patriotic sense. Despite being the National Leader of the Allied Peoples Movement (APM) and a key pillar of his party's presidential ticket, Governor Mohammed did what very few Nigerian politicians dare to do: he publicly appreciated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his bold, courageous and transformative reform agenda. This is leadership. This is maturity. This is putting Nigeria first. President Tinubu has done what others feared to do. He has brought a semblance of order and transparency to the opaque, previously cabal-infested oil and gas sector. Where subsidy fraud...

 Why it’s time to join ADC – Adeyanju urges Sowore


Human rights lawyer and political activist, Deji Adeyanju, has called on African Action Congress (AAC) presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore to join the growing opposition coalition aimed at defeating the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.

Adeyanju made the appeal in a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday morning.

In the post, Adeyanju urged Sowore to set aside concerns about how his decision might be perceived and consider the bigger picture.

“Dear Egbon @YeleSowore,

I know you are different and unlike the thieving Nigerian politicians, but please consider joining the coalition. Forget what people will say about your long-standing principles and ideological values. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures,” he wrote.

He added that Nigerians would admire Sowore more if he made the “painful sacrifice” to team up with others to rescue the country from the current administration.

“Politics is different from morality and activism; it’s a game of numbers. You have nothing to prove to critics who will never support you anyway,” Adeyanju added.

He ended his appeal by reminding Sowore that even churches are not free from bad elements, noting that his integrity is already well-known.

“Everyone knows you’re uncompromising and different. Just consider the idea of joining the coalition. Respect and love always, even if you don’t join,” Adeyanju concluded.

There has been no official response from Sowore as of the time of filing this report.

The national opposition coalition, which recently gained momentum with the defection of ex-Senate President David Mark and former APC chieftain Rauf Aregbesola to the African Democratic Congress (ADC), is positioning itself as a strong third force to challenge President Bola Tinubu’s APC in 2027.
