THE CLARION CALL: PDP’S SURVIVAL HINGES ON A HIGH-CALIBRE LEADER TO CHECKMATE THE APC POWER DOMINANCE. By Benjamin Momo/Wisdom Tide/Abuja/February 26, 2026 The recent address by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu serves as more than just a political commentary; it is a direct challenge to the soul of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). By dismissing the fears of a looming one-party state and pointing the finger back at the PDP’s internal fractures, the President has laid bare a harsh reality: Democracy does not wait for the weary. ​For the PDP to reclaim its lost glory and make powerful political statement in the upcoming 2027 general elections, the PDP must move past "media grievances" and elect a National Chairman who possesses the political gravity to shift the nation’s power axis and set a new Balance of Power in the Emerging National Political Calculus. ​BEYOND THE NEOPHYTE: THE NEED FOR POLITICAL WEIGHT ​The era of experimental leadership is over. To navigate the current Poli...

Stop Disturbing Governor Siminalayi Fubara: Rivers State Must Be Allowed to Breathe By Julius Benibo Sunny Democratic Forum of Niger Delta  January 8th, 2026 The political history of Rivers State since Nigeria’s return to democratic governance in 1999 is clear, consistent, and instructive. From the administration of Dr. Peter Odili to that of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, and later Nyesom Wike, each governor was allowed to serve the constitutionally recognised eight-year tenure. Beyond the question of duration, this tradition represented a deeper commitment to political stability, institutional continuity, and the understanding that governance must rise above personal ambition and partisan control. It is therefore disturbing that, for the first time in this democratic trajectory, a sitting governor—Siminalayi Fubara—has been denied the political space traditionally accorded to his predecessors. This development raises fundamental questions. Why must Rivers State suddenly become...

  PRESS STATEMENT FROM NIGER DELTA PEACE ADVOCATES February 18, 2025 EXPOSING THE FRAUDULENT AGENDA BEHIND THE SO-CALLED "MOTHER OF ALL PROTESTS" The Niger Delta Peace Advocates, at an emergency meeting held at our headquarters in Port Harcourt, issues a strong warning to the faceless individuals attempting to disrupt the hard-earned peace in the Niger Delta region. These disgruntled elements, primarily based in Warri, have no legitimacy, no capacity to mobilize, and no genuine interest in the welfare of our people. Their agenda is nothing more than an ill-conceived attempt to cause unrest and extort money from unsuspecting individuals and institutions. Over the years, we have worked alongside well-meaning organizations and stakeholders to secure the peace we currently enjoy. Through our investigations, we have identified these fraudulent actors and their baseless claims. Let it be clear: these individuals are not recognized by any credible Niger Delta organization, and their...
