Rules governing Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) must be tightened and made more punitive to ensure compliance and clamp down on criminality such as fronting.These are among the changes called for amid frustration that the policy, which is supposed to uplift the black majority and ensure their participation in the economy, is being undermined by acts of criminality like fronting.Fronting is when a black person pretends to own a business to make it look compliant with B-BBEE laws when, in fact, the business is owned by a white person. The matter was discussed at the “Frank Dialogue on the Future…

1 After every election in Nigeria—especially the contentious ones—a familiar chorus rises: “They will rig it.” “Nothing will change.” Following the recent off-cycle governorship polls, this chorus has grown louder. On the streets, in offices, and across social media, many Nigerians have already written off the 2027 general elections as a lost cause. The potential impact of the 2027 general elections on Nigeria’s future is straightforward and devastating: the system is irredeemably rigged and talk of reform is futile. In a recent keynote address titled “Making Our Votes Count: Action, the Antidote to Cynicism,” Dr Sam Amadi, Director of the…
Joshua Akamba, former National Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has issued a stern call to government appointees, urging them not to neglect the party’s grassroots supporters. Akamba emphasised the urgent need for appointees to focus on holding the party’s local base together to ensure the NDC remains stable and unified. He noted that many party faithful currently feel disappointed and hopeless, alleging that some officials have blocked their phone numbers, denied them access and ignored their concerns. According to him, this type of neglect was a major factor in the party’s previous electoral defeat to the New Patriotic Party (NPP).…

1 The just‑concluded Abuja FCT Area Council elections—and similar con‑ tests across Nigeria—have done more than produce local winners. They have opened a revealing window into the national political mood as the country edges steadily toward 2027. What is emerging, unmistakably, is a pattern of renewed confidence in the governing All Progressives Congress (APC) and, by extension, in President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s stewardship. While these elections are not presidential referenda, they often serve as early barometers of public sentiment. The results, combined with the tone of conversations across the capital, suggest that the APC has carved out what can reasonably…

The two, alongside other African Democratic Congress (ADC) members, were in the Heartbeat of the Nation to receive Olumide Akpata who was defecting from the Labour Party.Obi’s political profile rose sharply when he became running mate to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, presidential…
Audio By Vocalize Vincent Ayomo was reportedly shot dead during the Edwin Sifuna-led Linda Mwananchi rally in Kitengela. [File, Standard] In 2027, both France and Kenya will organise general elections; a fulfillment of their constitutional and democratic commitment. Besides sharing the same timing, the two countries evince noticeable parallels in their political ecosystems. For instance, unlike France, where the incumbent Emmanuel Macron is serving his second and final term, Kenya’s William Ruto will be defending his seat. Another key parallel lies in the approach to political organisation. Being an advanced democracy, France’s political mobilisation is unsurprisingly anchored on ideology…

PRESIDENT Bola Tinubu’s Executive Order mandating the direct remittance of oil and gas revenues to the Federation Account is a frontal challenge to the fiscal architecture that has governed Nigeria’s oil economy since the enactment of the Petroleum Industry Act. Indeed, it serves as a litmus test of whether transparency can finally prevail against discretion in the country’s most opaque sector. At its core, the order seeks to restore constitutional primacy over petroleum revenues by insisting that royalties, taxes, profit oil and profit gas be paid into the Federation Account before any deductions. This will dismantle the murky regime of…
