ADC Faults FG’s Silence On Alleged Coup
The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has criticized the Federal Government for keeping silent over the alleged attempted coup involving some military officers, saying its failure to clarify the matter is heightening public anxiety and creating room for dangerous speculation. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, described the government’s inaction as “deeply concerning,” especially in a democracy still recovering from the scars of past military interventions. Recall that on October 18, the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) dismissed as false and misleading reports by an online medium alleging that activities marking Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary were cancelled due to an attempted coup plot. The DHQ, in a statement by its Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, clarified that the arrest of sixteen officers, which sparked the rumours,...
The Fraser manifesto: A former prime minister’s plan to replace the Liberal Party

We are currently witnessing the death throes of the Liberal Party. To a good chunk of the electorate who voted for the current government, that doesn’t matter… except that it leaves Labor in full power with no meaningful opposition.
A decade ago, former Liberal prime minister Malcolm Fraser predicted this moment would come, and he spent his final years working on the answer: a new political party, built on traditional liberal values but without the now-toxic name.Bernard Keane joins the podcast to revisit Fraser’s plan to replace the Liberal Party. The detailed “Renew Australia” manifesto remains remarkably relevant, and takes a surprisingly progressive stance on issues like immigration, our relationship with the...
Why Osoba Suddenly Has A New Nickname In Ogun Politics
Gistsone of the key assignments he’s said to be handlingPublished 16 hours ago
on October 25, 2025Aremo Olusegun Osoba has earned a new nickname in Ogun politics, especially within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
“He is now known as Mr. Fix It,” insiders reveal.
The title stems from his growing role in settling disputes within the APC and mending fences with influential figures in rival political camps.
Sources say the effort enjoys the backing of President Bola Tinubu, who fondly calls Osoba “My Uncle.”
With Tinubu eyeing a second term, Ogun—one of his key Southwest strongholds—has become a major focus.
Osoba, a major player in Tinubu’s 2023 victory, now leads quiet moves to consolidate the party’s base ahead of 2027—one of the key assignments he’s said to be handling.Continue Reading

JUST IN: Peter Obi clarifies goodwill message to Oba Ladoja, says no disrespect intended
Mr. Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, has clarified his goodwill message to Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja, the newly crowned traditional ruler.
Obi had referred to the monarch as his “dear brother” in a congratulatory message, a choice of words that drew criticism from some quarters who considered it a breach of protocol.
In a statement on Sunday via his X handle, Obi said his words were borne out of goodwill and not intended to cause disrespect.
His words: “I felicitated with my dear elder brother, the newly crowned, His Royal Majesty, Oba Rashidi Adewolu Ladoja.
“I have read the concerns of those aggrieved by what they considered improper addressing. I respect protocol and authority, and I try, as much as possible, to adhere to them.

NYC Mayor Eric Adams Exits Re-Election Bid, Cites Rising “Extremism” InPolitics
"Our children are being radicalized to hate our city and our country," he stated.September 29, 2025 2:32pm
Adam Gray/Getty ImagesEric Adams has officially bowed out of the 2025 New York City mayoral race, leaving the city’s political future wide open.
In a farewell video from Gracie Mansion on Sunday (Sept. 28), the mayor didn’t hold back, warning New Yorkers about a wave of “extreme” politics he says is threatening the stability of the city he’s spent a rocky first term leading.
“Extremism is growing in our politics,” Adams said. “Our children are being radicalized to hate our city and our country. Political anger is turning into political violence.” While he didn’t name names, his remarks were likely a jab at Zohran Mamdani, the 33-year-old Democratic front-runner from Queens, whose campaign includes a $9 billion plan focusing on...

Trump Envoy Steve Witkoff and His Sons Blur Lines Between Profit and Politics
Honest, paywall-free news is rare. Please support our boldly independent journalism with a donation of any size.As officials with Hamas say they will respond “soon” to President Trump’s ceasefire proposal to end Israel’s nearly two-year war on Gaza, brokered with Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, we look at the many other deals Witkoff and his family are involved with. A New York Times investigation reveals that when Witkoff, a real estate developer and longtime friend of Trump, began his new position as a diplomat in the Middle East, his son Alex took over his company, the Witkoff Group. Since then, not only has the Witkoff Group continued to ink major deals with investors in the Gulf Arab states, but the elder Witkoff has not even fully divested from the company. “There is no question...
Trump news at a glance: Democrats say administration refusing shutdown talks as president repeats threat of firings
The Trump administration will start mass layoffs of federal workers if the president decides negotiations to end the government shutdown are “absolutely going nowhere,” a senior White House official has said.
Kevin Hassett told CNN he still saw a chance that Democrats would back down, but added that Trump was “getting ready to act” if he has to.
No tangible signs of negotiations have emerged between congressional leaders since Trump met with them last week. The shutdown began on 1 October, after Senate Democrats rejected a short-term funding measure that would keep federal agencies open through to 21 November. Democrats are demanding that funding include healthcare measures for low-income Americans.
“They’ve refused to talk with us,” Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer told CBS, saying the impasse could be solved only by further talks between Trump and the four...
Divided by God: Extremism and the fight for Nigeria’s soul
In a nation as diverse as Nigeria, where faith often intersects with politics and daily life, questions about the spread of extremist ideologies demand urgent attention. The notion of a “Quran Atlantic” evokes fears of radical Islamic influence expanding beyond borders, potentially fueling jihadist agendas aimed at dominating non-believers.
This concern stems from ongoing violence that many see as part of a broader strategy to impose strict interpretations of religious law on secular societies. In Nigeria, the integration of Sharia law into the constitution since 1999 has sparked debates about fairness and equality.
While intended to govern personal matters in northern states, its application often appears selective, targeting the vulnerable while sparing the powerful. Residents in these areas complain that poor individuals face harsh punishments for minor offenses, such as theft or adultery, leading to amputations or...
‘The time is now to stop Reform’
One party has held court over Welsh politics for more than a century.
Welsh Labour MPs have been the largest group sent to Westminster in every general election since 1922 - and the party has been in government in the country for more than a quarter of a century.
But if the polls are accurate, Labour's long-standing grip on politics in Wales is fading.
