ISLAMABAD: The opposition’s All Parties Conference (APC) in Islamabad on Thursday saw senior political leaders rallying for the restoration of democracy, the supremacy of the constitution, and an end to what they termed engineered politics and judicial victimization. With a strong demand to restore democracy and respect the will of the people, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan emphasized that no political solution could succeed unless the voices and votes of citizens were respected. “Some are trying to end democracy, but democracy will continue.

Rarely do you find these firmly rooted in genuine acknowledgment of performance or excellence. In Niger State, that wasn’t the case when the endorsement of Governor Mohammed Umaru Bago by the All Progressives Congress (APC) Niger Caucus on the 1st of August 2025 emerged, not as a hollow and familiar political rite, but as a significant recognition of substance over symbolism. The gathering, which witnessed the presence of sitting ministers, high-ranking lawmakers from the National Assembly, government functionaries, party stakeholders, et al., was a resounding affirmation of Governor Bago’s quality leadership and the audacious vision he has pursued under...
