FOR A BROADER MASS WORKING PEOPLE’S POLITICAL ALTERNATIVE
WHY YPP AND YOUTH PARTY MUST STORM THE LAGOS LG ELECTIONS TRIBUNAL AS AAC FINALISES FILING AT FEDERAL HIGH COURT, LAGOS
I write to call for the widest mobilisation of all oppressed strata for a prolonged struggle for total socio-economic liberation.
I extend solidarity with the members of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) who will be storming the Federal High Court in peaceful marches as Mazi Nnamdi Kanu will be arraigned today and taking of plea.
I also extend solidarity with the Yoruba Nation Now agitators who will be storming the Cour du’Appeal in Cotonou for the continuation of the extradition hearing of Sunday Igboho.
I also extend solidarity with Ogoni youths who will be staging “Mother of All Protests” on Ogoni land to protest the terrible state of infrastructure.
I also extend solidarity with youth in Kaduna State who has been putting defiant resistance to the repression by the El-Rufai-led Kaduna State Government.
What is clear is that the link that draws us all together is the chains of Oppression from North to South under the weight of a tiny ruling elite , who employ tongues and tribes to hold us apart.
I call for united mass movement of oppressed peoples in the struggle for self determination and better living conditions.
I call on the central leadership of the labour movement to activate the mandate of their last held NLC NEC to call a 48 hours’ warning general strike by 29th and 30th July, 2021.
I call for series of civil disobedience actions including protests, boycotts and sit-at-home actions where the central labour bereaucracy refuses , fails and neglects to provide the much needed organic leadership .
I call for a Sovereign Assembly of self-determination movements, informal Workers’ federations, formal labour centres, the left strata, the youth forces and the fighting Students’ organs to chart out a Programme of National Action including but not limited to series of National Days of Action of Sit-at-home Actions or Protests Action until the bands of Oppression is broken.
Ultimately, such a Proposed Sovereign Assembly must arm itself with a programme of a forging a broader mass working people’s political alternative aimed at putting in power a genuine oppressed and working people’s government to enthrone an egalitarian milieu where the working people of all oppressed ethnic nationalities , outside of the prisonhouse of capitalism can democratically determine whether to co-exist in the current neo-colonial contraption called Nigeria or otherwise.
It is this light that I call for a rolling struggle for the expansion of the electoral space. I call on the Youth Party and the Youth Progressive Party , two youth-based parties, consciously sidelined in the last held July 24th , 2021 Local Government Elections to approach the Local Government Elections Tribunal to seek redress.
This is pertinent as the AAC finalises its filing of processes against exclusion of the party by LASIEC and INEC.
On the whole, I call for a Working Class Summit of the rank and file forces of the labour movement to urgently discuss a Programme of Action for the reclaiming of trade unions and the Labour Party into a mass working people’s political alternative and where same becomes impossible the crystallisation of a new mass Working People’s Party that will enter into a fighting federal alliance with left , radical and youth parties such as the SPN, AAC, PRP , MOP , YP, YPP to throw overboard the entire ruling class parties .
DARE TO STRUGGLE! DARE TO WIN!

The Rivers State House of Assembly, led by Speaker Martin Amaewhule, has initiated impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara and Deputy Ngozi Odu, issuing them a seven-day notice to respond to allegations of gross misconduct.
The Assembly cited eight specific allegations of gross misconduct as the basis for the move.
This is the third time Fubara and Odu would be facing impeachment proceedings from the Assembly since coming to office in 2023.
Attempts to impeach them in 2023 and 2025, amid political feuds between the Governor and his predecessor and erstwhile political god-father, now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, had been halted by presidential intervention.
Here are the allegations below:
1. Reckless and unconstitutional expenditure of public funds
2. Unconstitutional misappropriation of public funds
3. Hindering the Rivers Assembly from performing its constitutional duties
4. Illegal appointments of persons without screening by the House of Assembly as provided by the Constitution
5. Seizure of salaries and funds meant for Assembly members
6. Seizure of salaries of the clerk of the Rivers House of Assembly, Emeka Amadi
7. Refusal to implement provisions of the Constitution on financial autonomy of the legislature and the judiciary
8. Withholding of funds meant for the running of the Rivers House of Assembly Service Commission and hindering its activities
Lilian Adebayo, the wife of the 2023 presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party, has said that the party will unseat the ruling All Progressive Party at the 2027 election if Nigerians are true to themselves.
Mrs Adebayo made this assertion known on Wednesday during an interview with journalists after an event in Abuja.
According to her, the opposition party has overcome its crisis after the expulsion of its former chairman, Shehu Gabam and others.
She said Nigerians should vote the APC out in the 2027 general election due to the hardship the party has plunged citizens into.
“There is always a crisis in the party; the SPD has been able to handle its own. The problems in the party have been resolved.
“He has a great chance of winning the election if Nigerians are honest with themselves. If Nigerians think that the ones they consistently vote for would move the country forward, they live in denial,” she concerning the husband.
Recall that SDP recently expelled Gabam and other party executives.
The party’s state chairmen on Wednesday urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the police to investigate Gabam over alleged misappropriation.
In a significant political move, Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah officially defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.
Mbah announced his decision during a televised broadcast in Enugu after weeks of speculation.
He said, “Today, after a long reflection, we have made the decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party and join the All Progressives Congress.”
Mbah explained that his decision to join the PDP was informed by the need to reshape Enugu and reorganise the politics of the state.
“Today, I stand before you to announce a break from the past and to share a decision that will shape the road ahead. This concerns our values, how we organize ourselves politically and how we secure the future of our project and our people.
“Leadership sometimes demands painful decisions in the service of higher principles and goals. And there comes a time, when everyone must make a bold choice to determine their destiny.”
Ahead of the governor’s defection, all members of his cabinet had on joined the ruling party.
Governor Mbah’s Senior Media Aide, Dan Nwomeh, confirmed the mass defection in a video posted on his social media handles on Monday. In the video, several government officials were seen openly declaring their allegiance to the APC, chanting praises for President Bola Tinubu and affirming their commitment to the new party.
“Enugu State Cabinet Members join the APC with full chest along with Governor PN Mbah,” Nwomeh stated.
The officials, including commissioners and top aides, could be heard in the video declaring, “We are now in APC; tomorrow is here; it is APC all the way; it is Jagaban all the way; from top to bottom.”
The collective defection marks a significant political shift in Enugu State, which has been a PDP stronghold since 1999.
