Nigeria’s democratic evolution continues to present recurring lessons—none more important than the centrality of structure, legality, and institutional discipline in the pursuit of political power. The current situation surrounding the African Democratic Congress, particularly its internal disputes and regulatory challenges, provides a timely opportunity to reflect on the difference between political aspiration and political capacity. Founded in 2005 and formally registered in 2006, ADC emerged with a clear ideological positioning as a reform-driven alternative to Nigeria’s dominant political parties. It sought to appeal to citizens disenchanted with entrenched political practices, promising a new direction anchored on inclusivity, youth participation, and…

Tanko said the movement remains firmly committed to Obi’s political future, noting that recent developments point to expanding grassroots mobilisation in his favour.

Juventus missed a chance to exploit AC Milan’s earlier slip and take third place in Serie A as they drew 1-1 at home with relegated Verona on Sunday. The Turin giants did, however, climb three points clear of Como in the chase for the fourth Champions League qualifying spot with three Serie A games remaining. AC Milan had relinquished their last, slim hope of catching Inter at the top as they subsided 2-0 at mid-table Sassuolo. Inter Milan will clinch a 21st title should they win or draw against Parma in the evening’s late game. Should Inter lose, only second-placed…
