Tanzania Election Held Without Main Opposition Parties

Tanzania Election Held Without Main Opposition Parties

October 29, 2025 6:08 am

Tanzania held national elections on Wednesday, a vote widely expected to secure another term for President Samia Suluhu Hassan after candidates from the two largest opposition groups were blocked from running.

The polls will determine the presidency, members of the 400 seat National Assembly and leadership positions in Zanzibar, the semi autonomous islands off Tanzania’s coast.

The absence of major opposition contenders has led critics to question the fairness of the vote.

The ruling CCM party, in power since 1977, faced only minor party challengers after the electoral commission barred CHADEMA and ACT Wazalendo from the presidential race. CHADEMA was …

2023 Imo Guber: Why Governor Uzodinma Must Be Sacked

2023 Imo Guber: Why Governor Uzodinma Must Be Sacked

July 3, 2023 2:57 am

It is barely four months before Imolites head to the polls again to have a say on their political destiny. The last time they spoke in resounding terms, their choices were invalidated by judicial buccaneers in Abuja who imposed an unpopular Governor on them, but nevertheless, Imolites must fight again, this time, their mission will ultimately be to eject the beneficiary of that injustice from Douglas House.

In any democratic country around the world where democracy is practiced in the real sense of it, the power to effect change in leadership lies within the hands of the people and not …

Nigeria Needs Restructuring, Not An Imaginary Messiah

Nigeria Needs Restructuring, Not An Imaginary Messiah

March 27, 2023 2:55 am

It is safe to assume that one of the biggest reasons why Nigeria has failed to be pulled out of its current abyss is that many of its citizens have been chasing the wrong priorities. The just concluded Presidential ‘selection’ which many Nigerians opted to partake in despite several warnings not to do so, underscores this assumption. It is regrettably sad that despite the potential the country wields, she has continued to drift consistently while her citizens continue the shadow chase.

For many decades, Nigerians have continued to clamour and complain about the same things without results. Unfortunately, they have …

In Truth, Tinubu, Atiku, Obi Have Nothing To Offer Nigeria

In Truth, Tinubu, Atiku, Obi Have Nothing To Offer Nigeria

March 6, 2023 5:04 am

A fortnight ago, over 90% of the Nigerian voting electorate who went out to cast their votes in the presidential elections actually voted for the wrong persons. As awkward as this assertion will sound to Nigerians who voted for the three front-runner candidates, the truth of the matter is that none of these candidates will have offered Nigeria the drastic change she yearns for and this is something Nigerians must come to terms with if they are really desirous of quenching their problematic thirst for a Messiah. 

Only a discerning mind will fathom that all the leading candidates in the …

2023 Nigerian Youths Need To Understand Strategic Thinking

2023: Nigerian Youths Need To Understand Strategic Thinking

March 6, 2023 4:48 am

Emerging trends in Nigeria have shown that young people in Nigeria have finally awoken from their slumber. Rather than the outright docility and apparent lack of interest in the affair of their country, quite interestingly, many youths in Nigeria today are increasingly participating in the process of enthroning leaders and that in itself is a big step. Sadly, their inability to project tact and strategic thinking rather than emotions has become their Achilles heel. 

In the build-up to the just concluded national elections in Nigeria, many young people saw themselves, perhaps for the first time involved in the complicated world …

2023: Why Nigerians Must Not Endorse Another Sham Election

2023: Why Nigerians Must Not Endorse Another Sham Election

February 20, 2023 3:30 am

By this weekend, most Nigerians have concluded plans to troop out en-masse to endorse the flawed system that has held down their country for over six decades. By voting in the elections on the 25th of February with Nigeria as presently constituted, Nigerians will simply be renewing their contracts with the slave master which is the 1999 constitution. This article is not to cast aspersions on these Nigerians who have chosen that path to redemption but to remind them that their decision is apparently not the best on the cards.

For a vast majority of Nigerians, the past seven …

PDP G-5 Govs When Mature Men Dance Naked In Public

PDP G-5 Govs: When Mature Men Dance Naked In Public

February 6, 2023 5:32 am

In recent times, the group of five Governors of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has grown to become a public nuisance. Last December, through their garrulous leader and spokesman who doubles as the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesome Wike, they had promised to name a Presidential candidate in January and join his campaign train, despite the furore generated by that proclamation, it is one week into February and the spinless Governors are still hiding under their disillusionment. 

Over the last eight months, the G-5 Governors who also call themselves the ‘Integrity’ group of Governors, made up of Governors Nyesome Wike …

Rented Rally Crowds The Stark Symptom Of Failed Leadership

Rented Rally Crowds: The Stark Symptom Of Failed Leadership

February 2, 2023 4:50 am

In less than 25 days, Nigerian politicians will once again attempt to outdo themselves in their quest to inherit the seat currently occupied by President Muhammadu Buhari. Just as they have always done, they have once again unleashed theatrical moves to win the hearts of Nigerians and sway potential voters using large crowds. The age-long perceptual game of showing strength in the size of crowds they are able to pull off is presently in full throttle and many Nigerians do not even understand that they are merely pawns.

This game which has taken its roots deeply in the political …
