    2027: It’s Igbo’s turn to become President – ACC

    The Allied Conservative Congress (ACC) has advocated for the zoning of presidency to the Southeast region of Nigeria in 2027.

    The political group believed that this move would promote national unity.

    During the inauguration of the Abia State executives in Umuahia, the ACC Chairman, Olusegun Peters, emphasized that the Igbo people have not had the opportunity to produce a Nigerian President since the tragic assassination of former head of state, General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, on July 29, 1966.

    Peters, represented by the ACC National Vice Chairman for the Northwest, Ibrahim Abdullahi, pointed out that in the 25 years since the restoration of democracy, no individual from the Igbo ethnic group has held the presidency, while both the North and South West have each had two terms in office.

    He affirmed that the party is committed to fairness and will actively support the equitable distribution of power among Nigeria’s three principal ethnic groups: Igbo, Hausa, and Yoruba.

    Abdullahi further characterized the Igbo as a hardworking community and expressed optimism that the current economic challenges facing the nation could be effectively addressed through the innovative capabilities of an Igbo leader.

    During the inauguration of the new Abia executives, the National Party Chairman emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration among the State Working Committee (SWC).

    He highlighted that the party is committed to representing the interests of all Nigerians, regardless of their religious, ethnic, or educational backgrounds.

    In their separate addresses, the National Vice Chairman for North-Central, Hon. Illya Juan, the National Publicity Secretary, Hon. Abubakar Sadiq, and the National Vice Chairman for South-East, Vincent Eberechukwu, extended their congratulations to the newly inaugurated executives for their dedication, expressing optimism that they would guide the party to success in the forthcoming elections.

    In his address, the acting State Chairman of the ACC, Onyekachi Uwalaka, expressed gratitude for the trust placed in the new state executive and assured that the party would be strategically positioned to secure governorship and legislative victories in Abia by 2027.

    June 12: There is hunger and confusion in governance- ACC vows to rescue Nigerians in 2027

    A political movement know as the Allied Conservative Congress (ACC), has pleaded with Nigerians to remain resilient in the face of the current economic hardship.

    The political movement conveyed this message to Nigerians on the occasion of this year’s Democracy Day and the 25th anniversary of uninterrupted democracy.

    It noted that June 12 is a testament to Nigerians’ faith in democracy and their resolve to consolidate, deepen, and strengthen it.

    “ACC salutes Nigerians for their resilience in sustaining democratic ideals, ethics, and ethos despite the numerous challenges facing the nation due to inept leadership,” it said in a statement signed by Alhaji `, its National Secretary.

    “Our confidence in constitutional rule is unshaken. We must make our democracy work for the good of the masses.

    “The state of the nation is bad. Governments at all levels have abandoned their constitutional duties and allowed the ship of the nation to cruise on a perilous course of terrorism, economic stagnation, ethnic tensions, corruption, and clueless leadership.

    “There is hunger in the land and confusion in governance. It is a trying period as the nation gropes in the dark.

    It is in view of this that the Allied Conservative Congress was recently formed as a rallying platform for all democrats desirous to rescue Nigeria from its dangerous slide to anarchy and bloodshed by non-state actors, and rebuild the nation with a conservative ideology of integrity, morality, probity, equity, unity, security, and prosperity. This is our chance to make Nigeria great again and restore genuine democracy.

    “ACC identifies with the masses in this difficult period of our nationhood and assures them of a brighter future. The movement urges Nigerians to be hopeful and prayerful as we collectively hold governments at all levels accountable.

    “We are optimistic that our political movement will soon be registered by the Independent National Electoral Commission as a political party with a conservative ideology that will provide godly leadership, create wealth, revive the economy, ensure political stability, and foster unity and development essential in restoring the nation’s glory, security, and prosperity.

    “We urge Nigerians to join ACC and contribute to building a new and better democratic society.

    “ACC will participate in the 2027 general election and field credible, competent, and visionary candidates who will turn around insecurity, economic recession, political upheavals, unemployment, and hardship in the country. Nigerians need compassionate leaders with the milk of human kindness and a conservative ideology.
    “ACC is the solution to Nigeria’s long national nightmare and the multifarious challenges that have impeded the nation’s democratic journey.

    “ACC wishes our Muslim brothers and sisters happy Eid-ul-Kabeer celebrations in advance.”

    2027: New party emerges, vows to sack APC from the center

    A new political movement, known as the Allied Conservative Congress, (ACC) has emerged and has vowed to displace the ruling political party, the All Progressives Congress, APC come 2027.

    Alhaji Abubakar Sadiq, the National Publicity Secretary of the newly formed ACC, said through a statement that the party was ready to rescue the country from sliding into anarchy, economic depression, political upheavals and hopelessness.

    According to the statement,  the party is strongly determined to sail Nigerians to a greater and brighter destination and make the country great again with its conservation ideology as enshrined in Chapter 2, Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy, of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended.

    The party accused past and present administrations of clearly neglecting and observing in breach provisions of the 1999 Constitution since the restoration of democracy in 1999.

    The statements reads partly: “It is this hijacking of the government by a cabal and exclusion of the people in the affairs of government that led to the horrible situation of Nigeria today and the urgent need to rescue and salvage it immediately,” the party said in a statement signed by Alh Abubakar Sadiq, its National Publicity Secretary.

    ”All patriotic Nigerians and lovers of democracy have seen the need for the formation of a new political movement that will pioneer and pilot the rescue mission of our beloved country before it is too late.

    “Eminent Nigerians with conservative bent have met severally across the country, brainstormed, strategized and charted the way forward for the country.

    “Existing political movements, political parties, politicians with progressive ideology have offered their services to the nation which instead of improving the well-being of citizens rather impoverished them which resulted in the current national tragedy, disillusionment and confusion in governance.

    “The Allied Conservative Congress is resolved to make a difference and stand out among the motley crowd of political groups and parties that are promoting democracy in Nigeria and seeking the people’s mandate to rule.

    “It has since applied to the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC for registration as a political party. And has structures across the 36 states of the federation and Abuja.

    “Leaders and members of ACC are men and women of honour, integrity, and probity, with exceeding passion to make Nigeria forever great by restoring sanity, morality, honesty, uprightness, national cohesion, unity and patriotism. Nigerian people who belong to our political movement have an equal stake in the movement irrespective of ethnicity, religion and gender.

    ACC members are guided by its motto which is “Sailing Nigerians to a Greater Destination”. Its flag consists of three equal-sized vertical curved stripes, green, white and purple and the movement’s logo is inside the white part of the flag. “

  • JUST IN: Tribunal dismisses Awara, AAC's petition, upholds Wike’s re-election

    JUST IN: Tribunal dismisses Awara, AAC's petition, upholds Wike’s re-election

    The Rivers State Governorship Election Tribunal has dismissed the petition filed by the African Action Congress (AAC) governorship candidate in the 2019 general election, Biokpomabo Awara, against Independent National Electoral Commission, Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike and Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP).
    The Tribunal presided over by Justice K. A. Orjiako dismissed the petition on the ground that it was deemed abandoned on the ground of Paragraph 4 of the First Schedule of the Electoral Act.
    According to the Tribunal, the petition was deemed to be technically abandoned because the AAC and its Candidate failed to meet key procedural requirements as to applying for pre-hearing information.
    The three man panel led by Justice K. A Ojiako declared that petition number EPT/RS/GOV/03/2019 was incompetent and therefore, dismissed it.
    Earlier, the tribunal struck out applications by the AAC Governorship Candidate, seeking that he be separated from all joint applications previously made with the party.
    Recall that the AAC recently adopted Mr Henry Bello to represent it at the tribunal after the former counsel, Tawo Tawo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria withdrew from the matter, with a notice of change of counsel filed the tribunal.
    This application came in after the AAC brought in another counsel to handle its matter at the tribunal.
    The three man panel led by Justice K. A Ojiako, after going through arguments in the Awara, AAC suit against Governor Wike ruled that all applications filed by the 1st Petitioner (Tawo Tawo, former AAC counsel) are struck out.
    Ojiako noted that the application by the petitioner ( counsel for Awara; Mustafa Ibrahim) has been found to be an abuse of court process.
    The panel also struck out the application filed by the petitioner for pre-hearing of the matter.
    The dismissal of the AAC Governorship Petition against the re-election of Governor Wike by the Rivers State Governorship Election Tribunal is not new under the present dispensation, as the Lagos State Governorship Election Tribunal also dismissed Petitions One and Two against the election of Lagos State Governor on similar ground.
