The African Democratic Congress (ADC), has condemned the tweet made by an aide of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, which alleges that the opposition is planning to overthrow the Tinubu government before 2027. While we consider this tweet as reckless and malicious, we also believe it is a lot more than that. If anything, it potentially lays the grounds for systematic clampdown on opposition leaders. In a statement issued Wednesday, just one week after the formal unveiling of the national opposition coalition in Abuja, the ADC, through its spokesperson Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, warned that such reckless and unsubstantiated claim signals a broader campaign of intimidation and repression against political opposition leaders by the Tinubu administration. The party announced plans to write the International Community, Observers and Human Rights Organizations to pay close attention to unfolding political events in the country. The full statement read: Bayo Onanuga’s twe...

He was just 22 years old. Starting as a street urchin in Onitsha, he graduated to a pickpocket and then became a dreaded criminal. The mere mention of his name sent shivers down the spines of everyone in Igboland. Derico rose to prominence after he killed his friend Chiejina, a cold-blooded armed robber who ruled the streets of Onitsha at that time. Their friendship began during the famous Umuleri/Aguleri War, but Derico was based in Abuja and only visited the East for robbery operations.

Traders in Onitsha couldn’t display their goods in peace, and people slept with one eye open. Derico raided banks in Onitsha, carting away millions of naira. Travelers passing through the stat...
