He also expressed concern over unemployment among graduates and the deteriorating state of public healthcare.</p> <p>The SDP presidential candidate criticised political leaders for seeking medical treatment and investing abroad while public institutions at home continue to decline. He said government officials should prioritise strengthening healthcare, education and the economy rather than relying on foreign systems.</p> <p>On insecurity, Adebayo questioned the handling of terrorism and criminality in parts of the country, insisting that Nigerians deserve better protection and accountability from security agencies. He further warned that rising political intolerance could undermine democratic governance.</p> <p>“Democracy can only survive when different political parties are allowed to compete freely and citizens are free to associate politically,” he said.</p> <p>Adebayo also alleged that even members of the ruling All Progressives Congress were experiencing internal suppression, with key decisions concentrated in the hands of a few individuals.</p> <p>Meanwhile, Chairman of the SDP National Convention Committee, Usman Bugaje, accused the ruling party of shrinking the democratic space and weakening opposition parties ahead of the 2027 elections.&nbsp;</p> <p>He also criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission and the judiciary, alleging undue political influence.</p> <p>The convention, held at the Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Memorial Stadium in Bauchi, also produced new members of the party’s National Working Committee, including Professor Sadiq Umar Gombe, who emerged as SDP National Chairman.</p> <p><a href="https://dailypost.ng/2026/05/10/nigeria-moving-toward-one-man-rule-adebayo-warns/">Nigeria moving toward ‘one-man rule’ — Adebayo warns </a></p>

Abdullahi Bakoji Adamu, has recommended strict punishment of politicians who sponsor or support political violence ahead of the 2027 elections.<br /> He warned that such actions pose a serious threat to democracy and national stability.</p> <p>Speaking in an exclusive interview with DAILY POST on Friday, Bakoji said the growing issue of political thuggery in Kano State and other parts of Northern Nigeria must be treated as a major security concern, not just youth restiveness.</p> <p>“Political thuggery is a serious threat to democratic stability and peaceful coexistence,” he said.</p> <p>He stressed that any politician funding or encouraging violence during elections should face full legal consequences, regardless of their position or influence.</p> <p>“Politicians who fund violence must be held accountable. This should apply to governors, senators, lawmakers, and all candidates seeking elective offices,” he said.</p> <p>Bakoji warned that using youths as tools for political violence undermines the future of democracy and puts innocent lives at risk.</p> <p>“No political office is worth the blood or suffering of innocent citizens,” he added.</p> <p>To address the problem, he called for intelligence-led policing, saying security agencies must identify and dismantle criminal networks before violence erupts.</p> <p>He also recommended stronger collaboration among security agencies through joint operations, including coordinated patrols and raids in high-risk areas.</p> <p>According to him, technology should also play a key role in tackling the menace.</p> <p>“Government should invest in modern surveillance systems like CCTV in public places, markets, motor parks, and entry points, as well as use drones and digital tracking tools,” he said.</p> <p>Bakoji further urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to develop a strong electoral security framework before, during, and after elections to ensure peaceful polls.</p> <p>He also highlighted the need to engage communities, saying traditional rulers, religious leaders, and youth groups must play active roles in peacebuilding and discouraging violence.</p> <p>On the issue of unemployment, he noted that many young people involved in thuggery are victims of joblessness and manipulation.</p> <p>“We must focus on youth empowerment, vocational training, education, and rehabilitation programmes to reduce their recruitment into violence,” he said.</p> <p>He further called for the establishment of special fast-track courts to ensure quick prosecution of electoral offenders.</p> <p>“Swift justice will serve as a strong deterrent to others,” he said.</p> <p>Bakoji concluded by warning politicians to change their approach to politics ahead of 2027, saying elections should be based on ideas, leadership, and development not intimidation or violence.</p> <p>“Any political system that depends on violence is a threat to democracy and national unity,” he said.</p> <p><a href="https://dailypost.ng/2026/05/10/2027-no-politician-sponsoring-youth-thuggery-violence-should-escape-consequences-bakoji/">2027: No politician sponsoring youth thuggery, violence should escape consequences — Bakoji</a></p>

Nigerian Newspapers: 10 things you need to know Friday morning

Here is today’s summary from <a href="https://dailypost.ng/">Nigerian Newspapers:</a></p> <p>1. Twelve Governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, on Thursday escorted the Vice President, Kashim Shettima, to formally submit President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s nomination and expression of interest forms to the national officers of the party in Abuja. Governors present at the event were that of Plateau, Ogun, Niger, Kaduna, Ondo, Katsina, Borno, Cross River, Taraba, Yobe, Nasarawa and Bayelsa.</p> <p>2. The Federal High Court in Abuja has fixed Friday, May 8, to hear a suit seeking to stop former President Goodluck Jonathan from contesting the 2027 presidential election. The case, marked FHC/ABJ/CS/2102/2025, was filed by a lawyer, Johnmary Jideobi, who is asking the court to declare Jonathan constitutionally ineligible to run for the presidency again.</p> <p>3. Former Aviation Minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has announced his appointment as Nigeria’s Ambassador-Designate to South Africa, following approval by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. In a statement on Thursday, Fani-Kayode said the appointment came after he formally requested a redeployment from an earlier posting to Germany, citing personal and professional considerations.</p> <p>4. A Federal High Court in Abuja has convicted former Minister of Power Saleh Mamman on a 12-count money-laundering charge, in which he is accused of diverting about N33.8 billion in public funds. Justice James Omotosho, in a judgment on Thursday, held that the prosecuting agency, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, proved its case against Mamman beyond a reasonable doubt, as required by law.</p> <p>5. The Senate on Thursday rescinded controversial amendments to its Standing Orders 2026 following concerns by lawmakers that some of the provisions were inconsistent with the 1999 Constitution. The reversal came barely days after the upper chamber amended portions of its rules, a move that had triggered controversy and sharp exchanges among senators.</p> <p>6. Imo State Governor, Senator Hope Uzodimma, has been relieved of his position as Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum, just hours after he represented All Progressives Congress governors at the submission of President Bola Tinubu’s presidential nomination and expression of interest forms in Abuja on Thursday. The decision was announced at an extraordinary meeting of about 20 progressive governors held in Abuja on Thursday night.</p> <p>7. Oyo State Police Command has recorded major breakthroughs in its fight against violent crime, foiling an attempted robbery attack in Iseyin and rescuing an abducted farmer in the Irawo area of the state. The command said one robbery suspect was killed, two others arrested, while four suspected kidnappers linked to the abduction of a farmer were also apprehended.</p> <p>8. The Federal Government has announced that the National Examinations Council will commence computer-based examinations this year as part of efforts to curb examination malpractice and modernise Nigeria’s assessment system. The Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, disclosed this on Thursday during NECO’s 25th anniversary celebration held in Abuja.</p> <p>9. Troops of the 12 Brigade, Nigerian Army, have rescued the remaining nine victims abducted from the Daarul-Kitab Islamic Orphanage in Zariagi, Lokoja, Kogi State, while also foiling an alleged terrorist logistics operation in separate coordinated operations. The Army disclosed this in a statement issued on Thursday by the Acting Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, 12 Brigade, Hassan Abdullahi.</p> <p>10. Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has formally picked up the nomination form of the Allied Peoples Movement to contest the Bauchi South Senatorial District seat in the 2027 general elections. The governor, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party, received the form during the APM National Executive Committee meeting on Thursday.</p> <p><a href="https://dailypost.ng/2026/05/08/nigerian-newspapers-10-things-you-need-to-know-friday-morning-127/">Nigerian Newspapers: 10 things you need to know Friday morning</a></p>
