The Senate on Tuesday initiated moves to shift the date for the 2027 presidential and National Assembly elections originally scheduled for February 20, 2027.

The proposed change is being considered during plenary as part of deliberations on the Electoral Act, 2022 (Repeal and Enactment) Bill, 2026, through a process of rescission and re-committal.

The motion was moved by Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, who drew attention to the coincidence of the planned election date with the 2027 Ramadan period.

According to him, the overlap could negatively affect voter turnout, logistics, stakeholder participation, and the overall inclusiveness of the electoral process.

“The Senate notes that the coincidence of the elections with the Ramadan period could adversely affect voters turnout, logistical coordination, stakeholder engagement, and the overall inclusiveness and credibility of the electoral process,” he said.

Bamidele also noted that the election date falls within the 2027 Christian Lenten season.

The Independent National Electoral Commission had earlier announced February 20, 2027, for the presidential and National Assembly elections.

Further details on the proposed new date are expected as Senate deliberations continue.

]]> Naira Redesign

The Naira redesign policy, initially introduced during the Muhammadu Buhari administration in 2022, spilled over into 2023, significantly shaping the economic landscape and public sentiment. The redesign, which included changes to the 200, 500, and 1000 Naira notes, aimed at addressing various economic concerns. However, the implementation process stirred widespread frustration among Nigerians. The altered currency landscape triggered a cascade of reactions, with many expressing dissatisfaction over the abrupt changes and the perceived impact on daily transactions. The frustration was particularly pronounced as citizens navigated the scarcity caused by the policy.

Amidst this, an unexpected shift occurred — Point of Sale (POS) vendors rose to prominence as key players in the financial system. With many Nigerians encountering challenges related to the redesigned currency, POS vendors became essential facilitators, selling cash to desperate Nigerians.

2023 General Election:

The 2023 Nigerian election emerged as a pivotal event, introducing a disruptive element that deviated from the traditional duel between two dominant forces. A notable third force emerged, altering the political landscape and challenging established norms.

However, despite this shift, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress (APC) emerged as the victor. The electoral competition was notably keenly contested, with Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and Mr. Peter Obi securing the second and third positions, respectively. The aftermath witnessed a surge in court cases, underscoring the intensity and significance of the electoral battle. Analysts characterized this election as one of the most hotly contested, reflecting the depth of political engagement and the challenges inherent in navigating the evolving democratic landscape of Nigeria.

The Nigeria Air Scandal

One of the noteworthy events that left an imprint on Nigeria in 2023 was the unveiling of “Nigeria Air” by the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika. However, the excitement surrounding the announcement was soon overshadowed by a revelation that stirred controversy. It came to light that the unveiled plane, purportedly representing Nigeria Air, was, in fact, a hired Ethiopian airline plane.

This discovery triggered mixed reactions from various quarters, ranging from disappointment to scrutiny of the transparency surrounding such a significant national endeavor.

Hilda Baci

In a culinary spectacle that captivated the world in 2023, Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci achieved a remarkable feat by breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time. The 26-year-old chef dedicated an astonishing 93 hours and 11 minutes to cooking, preparing over 100 pots of food during this culinary marathon.

However, the glory was short-lived as Irish Chef Alan Fisher emerged on the scene, orchestrating a culinary marathon that surpassed Baci’s record. Fisher cooks for 119 hours and 57 minutes

Napoli’s Win

Another defining moment that unfolded in 2023, was when Napoli clinched their first Scudetto since 1990. The stage was set at Udinese, and the hero of the moment was none other than Nigerian goal getter, Victor Osimhen, whose second-half goal etched a glorious comeback in the annals of Italian football history. For Napoli faithful, the triumph was more than a championship; it was a nostalgic return to the glory days of 1990.

Israel – Hamas War

In a shocking turn of events in 2023, Hamas staged a surprise attack on Israel, resulting in the tragic loss of 1,200 lives and the taking of about 240 hostages. The Israeli military swiftly responded with air strikes on Gaza and launched a ground offensive in an attempt to retaliate.

  1. 25% win in FCT not required to win presidential election – Tribunal

The Presidential Election Petition Court (PEPC) has rested the argument of whether winning 25% in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) was necessary in becoming president of Nigeria.

The Justice Tsammani-led panel said the voters in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Abuja are equal to every other voters in the states in Nigeria, hence, Abuja has no special status.

The Labour Party (LP) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidates had submitted that winning 25% of the FCT votes, in addition to meeting other requirements, was a necessary requirement of being declared winner in a presidential poll. The tribunal, which had earlier ruled against the Labour Party and Obi over allegation of rigging, had also dismissed evidences of 10 out of 13 witnesses called by Obi.
