The African Democratic Congress has claimed it won two out of three seats in the state and National Assembly bye-elections in Kaduna State.

The ADC Coalition mobilisation wing, known as ‘ADC Vanguard,’ disclosed this in a terse statement on its X account Saturday.

DAILY POST reports that Kaduna State conducted elections in the Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency, the Zaria Kewaye State Constituency, and the Basawa State Constituency. 

Reacting to the polls in a statement, ADC Vanguard said on X, “ADC Coalition Dominates Kaduna State, Securing 2 out of 3 constituencies insStunning victory.”

However, official results from the state electoral commission are yet to be released.

Earlier, All Progressives Congress chieftain, Ayekooto Akindele took a swipe at the former Governor Nasir El-Rufai, saying emerging results showed Kaduna people spoke loudly against him.

“Unfortunately for him, Kaduna people said loudly today that UBA SANI IS THEIR LEADER.

Primate Elijah Ayodele, the founder and spiritual leader of the INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has issued a stern warning to Nigerian governors regarding their aspirations for a second term in office in 2027.

In a public statement released by his media aide, Osho Oluwatosin, Primate Ayodele elaborated on the challenges these governors may face in their quest for re-election,  indicating that without sincere efforts and dedication, their ambitions for a second term might be hindered.

The warning serves as a wake-up call for these leaders to recognize the potential obstacles ahead and to engage in the necessary actions to secure their political futures.

“The governors of Akwa Ibom, Delta, Enugu, Cross River, Kaduna, Zamfara, and Ondo must work well to get a second term in office.

“It’s not certain for them except they work hard and pray. This is a hint of what they should be expecting.

“They need to work very well so that they won’t lose their second-term ambition,” he revealed.

Primate Ayodele also warned the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, to be careful and prayerful so that his second term as Senate President will not be traded.

“Senate President Godswill Akpabio must be very careful and prayerful to get a second term as Senate president. I see his position being traded; he must work very hard to avoid it.”

Likewise, Primate Ayodele revealed that prominent senators and members of the House of Representatives will not return for a second term, too, while warning Ned Nwoko of Delta against his governorship ambition, saying it’s not yet his time.

Speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Wednesday night, August 12 nonitored by Legit.ng, Bwala spoke on if a Jonathan comeback bid could rattle President Tinubu

Recently, former Jigawa state governor, Sule Lamido, threw his weight behind Jonathan as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP’s) strongest option or the 2027 presidential election.

This is as he urged the party to “woo” him back into its fold.

Reacting to the CaMS for Jonathan to contest against Tinubu, Bwala said:

“I see that some unscrupulous elements are trying to hoodwink former President Goodluck Jonathan to come into politics so that they can destroy his reputation, which after he left government he has been building by becoming an international figure globally.”

Bwala explained that Tinubu has ‘captured”the, south south geopolitical zone where Jonathan comes from.

He continued: “The elements that are going to him in the north, asking him to run, where they not the ones that chased him away? So, what hope does he have that this time around, they are calling him because they mean well for him?

“Then, look at the political class that are coming to- gether to cajole him to come into politics. I know former President Goodluck Jonathan is smarter than that. But if former President Jonathan decides to run, let me tell you, I have seen the political cli- mate in Nigeria today, andt will speak to facts, not conjectures, there is not a single politician that has the capacity to knock off President Bola Tinubu – in all fronts.”
