BREAKING!! ADC Constitution rules out Peter Obi's 2027 presidential ambition, backs Atiku, Amaechi

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) constitution effectively rules out Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate, from contesting for the presidency under the ADC's platform in 2027.

This decision stems from the party's constitutional provision that disqualifies individuals affiliated with other political parties from seeking the party's top ticket. Specifically, the ADC's third schedule-guidelines for the conduct of primaries-states that only registered, card-carrying members of the party who are not affiliated with any other political party are eligible to seek nomination for public office.

This provision, contained in Article 8 on membership, stipulates that a person "must not belong to any other political party," and if previously affiliated, must have resigned from such membership.

Peter Obi, who has openly identified with the ADC and declared his intention to contest the presidency in 2027, has not resigned his membership of the Labour Party. This poses a significant hurdle for Obi's potential candidacy under the ADC.

In contrast, the prospects of two other contenders, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and ex-Rivers Governor Rotimi Amaechi, getting the ADC ticket appear brighter. Both Atiku and Amaechi have resigned their memberships from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives Congress (APC), respectively, and joined the ADC.

According to the ADC's guidelines, having resigned from their previous parties, they may qualify for the party's nomination as they are cleared by the party's National Executive Committee.

When contacted for clarification on Obi's status, Obi's media aide, Tanko Yunusa, stated that the former Anambra governor had not left the Labour Party.

"Well, that will be made public if he decides to do that. At the moment, he is still a member of the Labour Party," Yunusa told LEADERSHIP Weekend.

The ADC emphasizes the importance of deepening internal democracy by ensuring that primary elections are free, fair, and credible, reflecting the true choice of its members.

"The electoral committee of the party shall conduct primary elections that will produce credible candidates that reflect the choice of the people. Nomination of candidates for elections into public offices shall be done by members of the Party in accordance with the provisions of the Electoral Act," the party's document states.

The ADC also reserves the authority to adopt either direct or indirect primaries or a consensus method for selecting candidates, as determined by the National Executive Committee.

Happy Birthday Your Excellency Mr. Peter Obi

On this special day, I joined millions of Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora to celebrate a man of principle, integrity, and visionary leadership.

Your unwavering commitment to accountability, good governance, and the empowerment of the ordinary Nigerian has earned you the respect and admiration of many across political, ethnic, and religious divides.
As you mark another year of life and service, may God grant you renewed strength, wisdom, and grace to continue being a voice for the voiceless and a beacon of hope for a better Nigeria.

Once again, Happy Birthday, Sir. May your legacy continue to inspire a new generation of Leaders.

Governor Monday Okpebolo's statement declaring Mr. Peter Obi persona non grata in Edo State is as disgraceful as it is undemocratic.

Edo State is a Nigerian State. Peter Obi is a free citizen and does not need the Governor's clearance to visit Nigerians in their own country.

The Governor's statement betrays deep insecurity. When a Governor panics over courtesy visits and modest donations, it is a clear sign that something is deeply wrong somewhere.

Leaders who have served the people well will not be bothered when others receive applause. Perhaps, the people celebrating PO are simply reminding the Edo State Governor the kind of leader he should be.

THE ARUGBA: THE VIRGIN WHO CARRIES THE SACRED KEG IN KEGITES CLUB

In the mystical rhythm of African tradition and Kegites heritage, the Arugba stands as a powerful symbol of purity, spiritual continuity, and ancestral connection. Traditionally, among the Yoruba people, the Arugba is the virgin girl who carries the sacred calabash during the Osun-Osogbo festival, believed to be the vessel through which spiritual offerings are transported to the gods.

In the Kegites Club, a socio-cultural organization deeply rooted in Afro-consciousness, traditional symbolism and the protection, preservation, and promotion of African Cultural heritage, this sacred role is adapted and preserved in a unique and respectful way through the Arugba who carries the Sacred Keg of Office.

In Kegites philosophy, the Keg is not just a container for pouring palm wine; it is the soul of the club, representing unity, tradition, spiritual bonding, ancestral knowledge, and the authority and existence of an Ilya. The Keg is carried not just physically but also symbolically, it is a burden of trust, purity, and cultural duty passed on from one generation to another.

The Arugba in Kegites is often portrayed as a young maiden selected to carry the Sacred Keg of Office during procession at major functions in which the Keg would appear, like Mass Transformation, World Gyration, and Coronation ceremonies. She is not just a carrier of the Keg of Office but a living embodiment of honor, purity, and sacred trust. She is seen as a vessel of ancestral invocation, a guardian of the club's moral fabric, and a symbol of cultural fertility and spiritual direction.

Just like in the traditional Yoruba rites, the Arugba’s purity or moral uprightness is symbolic of spiritual cleanliness. She must not just be pure in body, but also pure in heart, speech, and intention. This is not to idolize virginity for its own sake, but to elevate the importance of responsibility, discipline, and sacred trust within the club.

The Arugba carries not just a physical Keg, but also the weight of tradition and cultural preservation. The weight sometimes becomes too much and it’s usually evident on her from her left to right sway during procession. Her role is a bridge between past and future, ancestors and descendants, spirit and society. She walks in silence, with grace, dignity, and focus reminding every comrad of the sacredness of their identity and duty to culture!

In the Kegites Club, the Arugba is tasked with leading processions during solemn time. She is treated with respect, awe, and spiritual reverence not as an object but as an honored channel of ancestral blessings!

The role of the Arugba also celebrates African womanhood , not in a reductive or patriarchal sense, but in a way that honors the role of women as spiritual bearers, nurturers of tradition, and guardians of moral strength. In the Kegites Club, the Arugba is protected, celebrated, and viewed with reverence for the sacred role that she plays.

THE TRUTH BEHIND MR. IBU’S DEÁTH

Let me tell you what many of you don't know.
The story they never wanted the world to hear.
The truth… behind Mr. Ibu’s déath.

Most people knew Jasmine as Mr. Ibu’s adopted daughter. But do you know how that came to be?

Jasmine’s biological father was a soldier and a very closed friend to Mr ibu. A brave one. But he dîed when Jasmine was still very small. That was when Mr. Ibu stepped in. He took her in, raised her, loved her like his own blood.

He sent her to school, trained her, and when the time came, she travelled out to Cyprus to further her studies.
Life moved on.

Then one day in 2020, Jasmine received a strange message on WhatsApp. It said,
“Please, help… Daddy needs you.”

She thought it was a scám.

But something in her heart told her to look into it.

That’s when she found out that Mr. Ibu had relocated from Abuja to Lagos… and was sûffering.
He had nothing. No support. No stable home.
He was sîck, bróke, and abândoned.

Every single day, he was begging Jasmine for money—and she kept sending.
She sent until she got tired.
Then she asked, “What exactly is going on, Daddy?”

And when she heard that he was really sîck and nobody—not even his family—was looking after him,
she booked a flight and came back to Nigeria immediately.

When she saw Mr. Ibu in person… she couldn’t believe her eyes.
He was a shadow of himself.
Thîn. Wéak. Bróken.

She took him straight to the hospital and started caring for him like her own father.

And it was there… on that hospital bed… that Mr. Ibu said something that shôok her to her bones.

In his own words, he looked at her and said:

“Jasmine… they want me dtad. That’s the truth. They don’t care about me. They just want to take my properties. They are waiting for me to dîe so they can share everything I ever worked for.”

Then he paused… looked away… and added with páin in his voice:

“Even my wife… the woman I called my own… chéated on me. Jasmine, don’t let her come here. I will never trust her again. Even if I dîe, just know this — I never found peace in this world. Not in my marriage… not in my home.”

Those were his words.
From his own mouth.
Not rumors. Not gossip.

Now the man who made the whole world laugh has dîed with tears in his heart.
Not from sîckness alone… but from héartbreak, bétrayal, and néglect.

Jasmine was the only one who stood by him when everyone else turned their backs.

So I ask you today…

Where were the people who claimed to love him?
Why did they wait until his déath to start pretending?

Rest well, Mr. Ibu
Your laughter lives on.
Your pâin is no longer hidden.

If this story touched you, drop a candle for láte Mr ibu
