He is a foremost political leader in Delta State and must be accorded due respect,” Nkeaka stated. Drawing from over ...

In a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party accused the incumbent and his party of engaging in widespread cash-for-votes, while also criticizing the silence of security agencies and the inaction of electoral officials, which it said bordered on collusion. The full statement read: The African Democratic Congress has observed the conduct of the just concluded Anambra gubernatorial election with a deep sense of concern for the electoral process in Nigeria. What unfolded in Anambra was, regrettably, a cash-drenched spectacle that was more of a bazaar than an election. This undermines the very essence of democracy. We wish to state categorically that, as has been widely reported and clearly shown to Niger...
