COURT AFFIRMS LEADERSHIP ORDERS INEC TO RECOGNIZE . -LED CANDIDATES FOR FCT ELECTIONS
Abuja,January 20,2026.
L
A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to publish the names of candidates submitted by the African Democratic Congress (ADC) under the leadership of . for the upcoming February 21 Area Council elections in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Delivering judgment in suit number FHC/ABJ/CS/1907/25, Justice Mohammed Umar ruled in favor of 17 ADC candidates who had challenged INEC’s refusal to grant them electronic access to upload their names on the commission’s portal, which had prevented their participation in the elections.

The judge noted that the plaintiffs provided credible evidence and “proved their case beyond reasonable doubt.” Consequently, INEC was ordered to recognize and publish the names of the plaintiffs as ADC candidates for the respective positions contested in the party’s substitution primary election.

Justice Umar further instructed that the names be uploaded onto INEC’s portal in compliance with Sections 29(1), 31, 33, and 84(1)(5)(6) of the 2022 Electoral Act as well as INEC’s Election Guidelines.

The court-ordered candidates include:
Jafaru Shaibu, Ayenajeyi Yakubu, Dauda Awode, Ezra Zaki, Sunday Abraham, Ayuba Adam, Jamilu Kabiru, Nuhu Madaki, Ibrahim Ali, Ogwuche Linus, Chibuike Anyika, Okechukwu Ironkwe, Godwin Adoga, Agada John, Onuoha Goodness, Mahrazu Bichi, and Tobias Obechina.

The plaintiffs approached the court after INEC denied ADC access to upload candidate particulars for the substitution primaries, citing issues with the recognition of signatures from the current party leadership including Senator David Mark (National Chairman) and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola (National Secretary).

In a 27-paragraph affidavit, one of the plaintiffs, Onuoha Goodness, explained that despite multiple attempts and formal requests, INEC withheld access. The commission had claimed that the substitution notification letter and signature discrepancies prevented authorization. Access codes tied to the former National Chairman were also no longer valid under the current leadership, blocking submission of Forms EC9 and EC13.

The court was asked to determine whether INEC is legally obliged, under the Electoral Act and INEC guidelines, to provide ADC electronic access to upload candidates’ names for the FCT Area Council elections.
With Tuesday’s ruling, INEC is now legally compelled to facilitate ADC’s participation by publishing the candidates’ names ahead of the February 21 polls.

Katsina Govt Under The Leadership Of Dikko Ummaru Radda Seeks Court’s Help To Free 70 Suspected Bandits As Part Of ‘Peace Deal,’ Secret Letter Reveals

The document, a letter dated January 2, 2026, and classified as “SECRET,” was issued by the Katsina State Ministry of Justice and addressed to the Chief Judge of the state.

Afresh controversy has broken out in Katsina State following the surfacing of an official document indicating that the state government initiated steps to secure the release of dozens of suspected bandits currently facing criminal trials.

The document, a letter dated January 2, 2026, and classified as “SECRET,” was issued by the Katsina State Ministry of Justice and addressed to the Chief Judge of the state.

It shows that the ministry requested the intervention of the Administration of Criminal Justice Monitoring Committee (ACJMC) to facilitate the release of the detained suspects.

Signed by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Abdur-Rahman Umar, Esq., the letter disclosed that a list containing the names of 48 individuals accused of various banditry-related offences had been forwarded to the Ministry of Justice by the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affairs.

According to the letter, the proposed release of the suspects is aimed at “facilitating their release from detention, as one of the conditions precedent for the continuance of the peace accord deal signed between the frontline Local Governments and the bandits.”

The Ministry of Justice further revealed that while a handful of the suspects have been arraigned before the Federal High Court, most remain in detention awaiting trial at various Magistrate Courts across Katsina State.

The letter also disclosed that a separate list of about 22 inmates currently facing trial before different High Courts in the state was submitted, with the aim of having them released under the same peace arrangement.

The Ministry urged the Chief Judge to take “necessary action,” arguing that the matter falls within the statutory powers of the Criminal Justice Monitoring Committee under Section 371(2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law of Katsina State, 2021.

The disclosure has sparked outrage and concern among legal practitioners and civil society groups, who warn that releasing suspects accused of serious crimes such as banditry could undermine the rule of law, deny victims justice, and embolden criminal groups.

Critics contend that although peace initiatives are important, negotiating the release of suspects already in custody, some of whom are standing trial, raises serious constitutional, ethical, and security concerns.

As of the time of filing this report, the Katsina State Government had not publicly explained what legal safeguards, if any, would guide the proposed releases, nor clarified whether victims of the alleged crimes were consulted as part of the peace process.

The development adds to growing national debate over the use of negotiated settlements with armed groups amid Nigeria’s worsening security crisis.

Shekara 2025 ta nuna rashin iya aiki da gazawar Tinubu karara — Atiku Abubakar

Madugun adawan Najeriya ya yi wannan caccaka a sakon sabuwar shekara ta 2026 da wallafa a shafinsa na X.

The confirmation by the Senate that the gazetted version of the Tinubu Tax Act does not reflect what was duly passed by the National Assembly raises a grave constitutional issue. A law that was never passed in the form in which it was published is not law. It is a nullity.

Under Section 58 of the 1999 Constitution, the lawmaking process is clear and exclusive: passage by both chambers, presidential assent, and only then gazetting. Gazetting is an administrative act of publication; it does not create law, amend law, or cure illegality. Where a gazette misrepresents legislative approval, it has no legal force.

Any post-passage insertion, deletion, or modification of a bill without legislative approval amounts in law to forgery, not a clerical error. No administrative directive by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, or the Speaker of the House, Tajudeen Abbas, can validate such a defect or justify a re-gazetting without re-passage and fresh presidential assent.

The attempt to rush a re-gazetting while stalling legislative investigation undermines parliamentary oversight and sets a dangerous precedent. Illegality cannot be cured by speed. The only lawful path is fresh legislative consideration, re-passage in identical form by both chambers, fresh assent, and proper gazetting.

This is not opposition to tax reform. It is a defence of the integrity of the legislative process and a rejection of any attempt to normalise constitutional breaches through procedural shortcuts. -AA

PRESIDENT TINUBU IS UNDER FIRE
The African Democratic Congress ( ) has accused him of outsourcing Nigeria's national security to foreign powers following the recent US airstrike.

“When the President of Nigeria appears compelled to report himself to another head of state, Nigerians are entitled to ask who is truly in charge of their country,” the ADC stated.

Tinubu's Govt planning to arrest Atiku, Amaechi, key opposition figures— Adebayo

By Ogaga Ariemu

A public affairs analyst and activist, Adekunle Adebayo, has raised the alarm over what he described as a plot to arrest and intimidate key opposition figures in Nigeria, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi.

Adebayo disclosed this in a statement made available to DAILY POST on Tuesday, warning that the alleged move forms part of a wider strategy to weaken opposition politics and entrench a de facto one-party system in the country.

He alleged that Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, and former Kaduna State G overnor Nasir el-Rufai have been marked for arrest.

According to him, other prominent political figures, including Isa Ali Pantami, Rauf Aregbesola, Kashim Ibrahim Imam, and others, are also being targeted.

Adebayo further claimed that the alleged plan follows earlier arrests and detentions of former governors of Sokoto and Anambra states, Aminu Tambuwal and Chris Ngige, as well as former Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami.

He warned that if the reported arrests are carried out, they would amount to serious violations of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), citing threats to personal liberty, freedom of association and expression, equality before the law, and the independence of the judiciary.

“Selective application of law enforcement based on political affiliation is incompatible with constitutional democracy,” Adebayo stated.

He urged Nigerians, civil society organisations, and the international community to closely monitor unfolding events, cautioning that the country risks sliding into a system where democratic institutions exist only in form, while political power is consolidated through coercion and selective justice.

FORGERY OF TINUBUS TAX REFORM LAW IS AN ACT OF TREASON AGAINST THE NIGERIAN PEOPLE
WROTE BY;ATIKU ABUBAKAR
The illegal and unauthorized alterations made to Nigeria's tax legislation after passage by the National Assembly represents a brazen act of treason against the Nigerian people and a direct assault on our constitutional democracy.
This draconian overreach by the executive branch undermines the foundational principle of legislative supremacy in the making of laws,It reveals a government more interested in extracting wealth from struggling citizens than empowering them to prosper.
The Unconstitutional Alterations.
The following substantive changes were allegedly illegally inserted into the tax bills after parliamentary approval, in clear violation of Sections 4 and 58 of the 1999 Constitution:
1. New Coercive Powers Without Legislative Consent,arrest powers granted to tax authorities,Property seizure and garnishment without court orders,Enforcement sales conducted without judicial oversight
These provisions transform tax collectors into quasi-law enforcement agencies,stripping Nigerians of due process protections that the National Assembly deliberately included.
2.Increased Financial Burdens on Citizens,Mandatory 20% security deposit before appealing tax assessments,Compound interest on tax debts,Quarterly reporting requirements with lowered thresholds,Forced USD computation for petroleum operations
These changes erect financial barriers that prevent ordinary Nigerians from challenging unjust assessments while increasing compliance costs for businesses already struggling in a difficult economy.
3. Removal of Accountability Mechanisms,Deletion of quarterly and annual reporting obligations to the National Assembly,Elimination of strategic planning submission requirements,Removal of ministerial supervisory provisions by stripping away oversight mechanisms,the government has insulated itself from accountability while expanding its powers—a
governance.
A Government Against Its People,This constitutional violation exposes a troubling reality:
A government obsessed with imposing ever-increasing tax burdens on impoverished Nigerians rather than creating conditions for prosperity instead of investing in infrastructure,education,healthcare and economic empowerment that would expand the tax base organically,this administration chooses the path of aggressive extraction from an already struggling populace.
Nigeria's poverty rate remains alarmingly high,unemployment continues to devastate families and inflation erodes purchasing power daily,Yet rather than supporting citizens to become more productive,thereby generating sustainable tax revenues the government employs draconian measures to squeeze resources from people who have little left to survive.
True economic growth comes from empowering citizens not impoverishing them further through punitive taxation and erosion of legal protections
A thriving economy with prosperous citizens naturally generates robust tax revenues,But this requires vision,investment and patience qualities evidently lacking in an administration that resorts to constitutional manipulation to achieve short-term fiscal goals.
I hereby call upon:
1.The Executive to immediately suspend the implementation of the tax law effective January 1,2026 to give room for a proper investigation.
2.The National Assembly to immediately rectify these illegal alterations through proper legislative processes and hold accountable those responsible for this constitutional breach.
3.The Judiciary to strike down these unconstitutional provisions and reaffirm the sanctity of the legislative process.
4.Civil Society and all Nigerians to reject this assault on democratic principles and demand governance that serves the people rather than exploiting them.
5.The Government to abandon this path of extraction and oppression and instead focus on policies that enable Nigerian citizens and businesses to thrive.
6.The EFCC to immediately investigate and prosecute those found culpable in the illegal alteration of our laws to extort and defraud the Nigerian people.
What the National Assembly did not pass cannot become law. This fundamental principle must be defended or we risk descending into arbitrary rule where constitutional safeguards mean nothing.
The Nigerian people deserve better than a government that circumvents democracy to impose hardship,We demand accountability,constitutional compliance and economic policies that build prosperity rather than deepen poverty....
