 SENATE ADJOURNS EMERGENCY PLENARY ON STATE POLICE OVER REP’S DEATH. The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon. Yaya Tongo, a member of the House of Representatives, whose death cast a sombre mood over the National Assembly. The upper chamber had reconvened from recess amid expectations that lawmakers would accelerate action on the proposed constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police across the federation, a measure widely seen as a major step in the ongoing effort to reform Nigeria’s security architecture. However, proceedings were cut short after Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the death of Tongo, who represented the Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives. Hon. Tongo passed away at Nizamiye Hospital in Abuja on June 12, 2026, following a brief illness. His death triggered a...

 Rhodes-Vivour’s defection to ADC hasty – LP


The Labour Party on Sunday criticised its former Lagos governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, over his sudden defection to the African Democratic Congress, describing the move as hasty and ill-advised.

Rhodes-Vivour, who flew the LP flag in the 2023 governorship election in Lagos, formally declared his switch to the ADC on Saturday at an event in Alimosho, Lagos State.

The event, initially disrupted by security operatives before being relocated, was part of a broader coalition of opposition parties under the ADC platform, aimed at unseating the ruling All Progressives Congress in 2027.

In his declaration speech, Rhodes-Vivour said joining the ADC was part of building a united front against the APC.

“I am happy to become part of this family. I’m looking forward to the union and governance that this party will bring to Nigerians.

“My prayer is that God will grant our leaders and the party’s structure the wisdom to come together and define a new path for our beloved country”, he said.

The politician, who described the coalition as a rescue mission, added: “This is a coalition that is meant to rescue Nigeria. I have said since after the 2023 elections that we cannot afford to divide the opposition going into the next election.

“We must come together, united through a robust coalition that will stand a chance in 2027 to deliver this country.”

But LP dismissed his decision as premature, arguing that Rhodes-Vivour should have taken a cue from the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who has continued to engage opposition parties without leaving the LP.

In a statement issued on Sunday, LP’s interim National Publicity Secretary, Tony Akeni, said Rhodes-Vivour’s action showed he had “jumped the gun” and failed to imbibe Obi’s political approach.

“Our party’s view is therefore that a rainbow coalition of multi-party colours carrying along Nigeria’s ballot population, driven by a common unifying electorate mobilisation, is what Nigerians need to sack APC and President Bola Tinubu’s dictatorship out of power in 2027.

“This is the patriotic manual that our party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections, Peter Obi, is working with, and we as the Labour Party are one with him in it. Without defecting, the understanding involves Labour Party and PO meeting and engaging in broad-based multi-party liaison with all well-meaning opposition political parties,” he stated.

Akeni noted that it was already a settled consensus within the LP that no single opposition party—including itself—could single-handedly dislodge the APC in 2027.

However, he maintained that Rhodes-Vivour’s choice to quit the party was not the way forward.

“Rhodes Vivour should have followed the footsteps of his master. That is what the Labour Party had expected him to do if he were reading well the signs on the wall.

“By jumping the gun and hastily jumping boats, Vivour has shown, from our viewpoint, that he is still to learn some imperative essentials in his young political journey. Politicians who genuinely mean to serve their people should learn to hurry slowly.

“As a political party, the Labour Party wishes him well,” Akeni added.
