Governor Ambode Governor Akinwunmi Ambode is out and could be down in weeks. LANRE ADEWOLE points out his options. Except miracles happen, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode will walk away on May 29, 2019 with unenviable records. He will be the first sitting governor in the South-Western part of the country since the return of democracy in 1999, to be beaten to a second term ticket. He will also be the third in the entire country, following in the footsteps of the late Mala Kachalla of Borno State and Chinwoke Mbadinuju of Anambra State. The trio fell to the machinations of the political powers and forces that raised them, but the duo before the Epe-born accountant-made-governor, could be luckier, considering that they were allowed to complete their single term.  Kachalla even sought a second term mandate on the platform of the then Alliance for Democracy (AD) but beaten to a distant third position as the incumbent. Mbadinuju was offered a senatorial or ministerial portfolio, by his nemesis, w

The PDP will between Saturday October 6 and Sunday October 7, 2018 pick a presidential candidate for the 2019 general election. It comes to many observers as referendum for true democracy and the expression of the fundamental rights of Nigerians to chose a path they wish to travel. A path of unity or divisiveness. A path that would uphold the overall interest of the people or that of cronyism, clannishness and exclusiveness. More than ever before, Nigerians, irrespective of socio-economic standing, have become more politically aware, and therefore ready to not only interrogate the kind of leadership the political class is providing, but essentially, ready and willing to play active roles in designing a Nigeria of their dreams, by utilizing their constitutional rights at the polling booths. The PDP, having suffered a humiliating defeat in the 2015 presidential election that brought the current All Progressives Congress (APC) government to power, knows that it can’t afford to make furthe

Besides formulating the rule of law through the interpretation and application of law to respond with a verdict, settling disputes, checking legality, judiciary has been a major player in nation politics.  In democracy, Judiciary is vested with responsibilities to interpret and apply the law along with the constitution, and to provide impartial adjudications of disputes between the state and individuals, between individuals, and between different levels of government within the state. The peculiar rugged and cataract socio-political journey of Nigerian nationhood has made reliance on the courts and on judicial means for addressing core moral dilemmas, political controversies and public policy questions since Independence in 1960 till date. At several times when Nigeria got to the cross-roads or at defining moments of existence or likely been torn apart, the judiciary, whether invited or not, came in to lead the nation out of the confusions.
