Nigeria stands once again at a dangerous crossroads. The ongoing attempt by the Tinubu-led APC government to undermine the electronic transmission of election results is not about reform, innovation, or electoral integrity. It is a deliberate, calculated plan to manipulate the 2027 general elections and impose power on Nigerians against their will. This desperation did not arise in a vacuum. It is born out of clear awareness within government circles that the APC can no longer win a free, fair, and transparent election in Nigeria. After years of economic hardship, rising insecurity, youth unemployment, a collapsing naira, and deepening poverty, the verdict of Nigerians is obvious: this government has failed abysmally . Rather than return to the people with solutions, the APC has chosen the darker path— tampering with the electoral process itself . Electronic transmission of results was introduced to reduce rigging, human interference, and post-election manipulation. Nigerians emb...

Prime News Desk. A group known as the Owan Conscience Group has launched a major grassroots sensitization campaign against Senator Adams Oshiomhole over his reported interest in a second term in the Senate. The group claims that the Edo North senatorial seat is rightfully due to Owan West, arguing that during the last senatorial elections, Senator Oshiomhole of the APC disregarded the interests of the Owan people and returned the seat to Estako, leaving Owan West and Akoko Edo without strong leadership representation in the Senate. Speaking at a press briefing in Benin City, Barr Ofeimu, the leader of the group and a member of the APC from Owan West, accused Senator Oshiomhole and the APC of uneven distribution of political offices in Edo North, noting that the rotational dynamics historically observed in the region have been ignored. The group also criticized Senator Oshiomhole’s tenure in the Senate so far, arguing that there has been no tangible contribution to the development of Ed...

The recent reshuffle within the Edo State Government has sent a clear and unmistakable message from Governor Monday Okpebholo: incompetence, disloyalty, and sabotage will no longer find shelter in Government House. At the centre of the shake-up is the sack of the Chief of Staff, a move widely linked to non-performance and a troubling level of administrative incompetence. Multiple insiders describe the former Chief of Staff’s tenure as ineffective, lacking coordination, and unable to deliver the strategic leadership expected of such a critical office. In a government under pressure to perform, the governor’s decision has been interpreted as both necessary and overdue. Beyond poor performance, the governor also moved decisively against a group of individuals described as internal traitors—those who continued to benefit from government access and privileges while openly castigating the governor, undermining his leadership, and feeding hostile narratives wherever they went. These individua...

Prime News Desk.  Lagos . Barely 24 hours after a cowardly, night-time attack on the ADC Secretariat—carried out by desperate elements who sneaked in under the cover of darkness—the Secretariat is back on its feet, stronger, brighter, and more alive than ever. What the attackers intended to silence has instead become a rallying point. Edo people are trooping into the office in large numbers to show solidarity, and party registration has more than tripled since the incident. This singular fact exposes the truth: ADC cannot be intimidated. What is playing out in Edo State today is not politics in its noble sense; it is the dangerous descent of politics into barbarism. When political competition mutates into arson, vandalism, and fear tactics, the ultimate victims are not parties—it is the people. If security agencies fail to act with fairness, courage, and justice, this spiral threatens to drag Edo State toward political anarchy. Let it be clearly stated: the repeated attacks on ADC ...

  Cowardly Night Attack on ADC Secretariat Exposes Desperation of Political Oppressors in Edo State Prime News Desk. Benin City, Edo State — In a brazen and disgraceful act of political violence, unknown masked men on Tuesday night attacked the newly opened African Democratic Congress (ADC) secretariat in Benin City, Edo State, in what has been widely condemned as a desperate attempt to intimidate a fast-rising opposition party. The attack took place at about 9:00 p.m. , carefully timed when the party office was empty—an act that clearly exposes the cowardice of the perpetrators. The assailants vandalised the premises by pulling down poles bearing ADC flags and attempted, unsuccessfully, to set the building ablaze. Their plan to destroy the secretariat failed only because the structure could not easily catch fire. Alert residents in the area quickly raised an alarm and mobilised in defence of the ADC secretariat, forcing the attackers to flee in shame. The vandals escaped onl...

  Failed Arson Attack on ADC Secretariat: Ruling Party’s Desperation Descends into Political Terrorism in Edo State Lionfacenews Benin City, Edo State — What played out on  Wednesday night in Benin City was not mischief, not vandalism, and certainly not an accident. It was a premeditated act of political terrorism , carried out by masked cowards threatened by the unstoppable rise of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Edo State. At about 9:00 p.m. , under the cover of darkness, five masked men stormed the newly inaugurated ADC state secretariat when they were certain no party member was present. This calculated timing alone exposes the attackers for what they are: spineless political thugs , afraid of confrontation but emboldened by the culture of impunity that now defines Nigeria’s ruling political order. The assailants pulled down ADC flags, vandalised party property, and attempted to set the building ablaze. Their crude effort failed—not because they lacked inten...
