Tinubu has consistently advocated constitutional reforms to allow state governments play a greater role in maintaining law and order, citing the growing threat posed by terrorism, banditry, kidnapping and other violent crimes across the country. In February, the President urged the National Assembly to fast-track constitutional amendments that would pave the way for the...

Drawing an analogy to illustrate his position, Fayose said taking awa...

The elders stated that while Danladi has the constitutional right to contest for higher office, they are not convinced he possesses the broad political appeal required to unite party members and attract undecided voters ahead of the electi...

Former Lagos State Governor and ex-Minister of Works, Housing and Power, Babatunde Fashola, has described elections as inherently imperfect exercises, urging Nigerians to recognise the challenges involved in conducting nationwide polls and to focus on strengthening democratic institutions beyond the electoral process. Fashola made the remarks on Friday while speaking at The Platform , a public policy forum held in Lagos as part of activities marking the 2026 Democracy Day celebration. According to the former governor, elections, particularly presidential contests, involve extensive logistical operations across the federation, making absolute perfection difficult to achieve. “Elections are an imperfect event because they require a large logistical operation across a federation,” Fashola said. He explained that the conduct of presidential elections requires thousands of polling units across the country to carry out identical procedures simultaneously despite varying local conditions and ...

Former Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola has said he did not receive security votes at any point during his eight-year administration, dismissing the notion that governors are directly paid such funds. Fashola made the disclosure on Friday while speaking at a panel session during the June 12 Democracy Day programme organised by The Platform . The former governor, who also served as Minister of Works, Power and Housing under the administration of the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, responded to questions on the role and impact of security votes amid Nigeria's growing security challenges.

According to him, all funds accruing to the Lagos State Government during his tenure were domiciled in the state's Ministry of Budget and Economic Plann...

Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has said that a legislature that lacks the independence to reject executive proposals has failed in its constitutional responsibility and cannot effectively serve the people. Saraki made the assertion on Friday while speaking during the June 12, 2026 edition of The Platform , a public affairs programme aired on Channels Television. The former Senate President argued that the National Assembly must exercise its oversight functions independently and subject executive proposals to proper scrutiny rather than approving them without critical examination. According to him, the legislature serves as an important institution where differing interests in a diverse nation can be debated peacefully without threatening national unity. “So, what I learned in those four years in the National Assembly as Senate President is that a legislature that cannot say no is not a legislature at all,” Saraki said. He added that a parliament which merely receives proposals f...

According to him, young Nigerians should invest their talents and energy in the nation by working, innovating, participating in governance and contributing to national development. The President's appeal comes amid the continued "japa" trend, which has seen many professionals in sectors such as technology, healthcare and academia relocate abroad in search of better opportunities. Tinubu said his administration remains committed to ensuring...

Fellow Nigerians Today, we celebrate democracy and the enduring Nigerian spirit. For 27 unbroken years, since May 29, 1999, Nigerians have chosen their leaders through the ballot, witnessed peaceful transitions of power, and resolved disagreements in courtrooms and legislative chambers—not through violence. We have experienced the longest stretch of civilian rule in our history. Our democracy is not perfect, but it is ours, and we must continue to defend and strengthen it. In the coming days, Ekiti and Osun States will hold elections. I urge INEC, security agencies, and all parties to ensure these polls are peaceful and credible. Democracy fails when citizens doubt the process. To our National Assembly, Judiciary, the Press, and Civil Society: you are the guardrails of our republic. Criticise me, disagree with me, but never stop believing in Nigeria. To our young people: Nigeria is your home and your future. Build here, code here, work here, and vote here. Every great nation was built ...
