But where is the money? Where did it go?” Atiku was quoted as saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Bako argued that the position could put pressure on the Federal Government to provide a clearer account of the savings and demonstrate how Nigerians had benefited from the reforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He said petrol prices could become a major campaign issue because of their impact on transport operators, farmers, traders and households.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>“Suddenly, 2027 election now has alternative, and in democracy, alternative is power,” Bako wrote.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>According to him, voters would assess competing economic proposals based on their effects on transport costs, food prices, household incomes and businesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, Bako noted that restoring petrol subsidies would raise questions about funding, affordability and transparency, including whether the policy could be sustained without increased borrowing or additional pressure on public finances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The Federal Government has defended subsidy removal as necessary to ease pressure on public finances and free up resources for other priorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Bako also questioned the outcomes of the administration’s foreign exchange reforms, arguing that employment, infrastructure, healthcare, education and living standards would be important measures for assessing the government’s economic performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>He called for greater accountability in public spending, citing rising living costs and concerns over government expenditure, including lawmakers’ vehicles, Hajj subsidies and a proposed presidential yacht.

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003Cstrong>By Clifford Ndujihe\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">THREE months to the 2027 general elections, political parties and their candidates are yet to fully hit the streets for campaigns, despite the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, opening the campaign window nearly two months ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the commission’s timetable, the Presidential and National Assembly polls will be held on January 16, 2027 while those of the governorship and state houses of assembly will take place, three weeks later, on February 6, 2027.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">INEC cleared the way for Presidential and National Assembly elections campaigns last August 19 and that of the governorship and state assemblies, September 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since then, no serious campaigns have commenced. A couple of the leading parties have raised their Presidential Campaign Councils, PCCs, most are yet to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it is, exactly 97 days to the Presidential and NASS polls, and 118 days to the governorship and state assembly balloting, no party or candidate has unveiled his\u002Fher or its campaign plan and itinerary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike previous election cycles, when streets would, at this stage, be awash with posters and billboards and candidates would be criss-crossing their constituencies, in an unmistakable poster war, the current political atmosphere is relatively subdued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, the scenario is different as Saturday Vanguard’s checks across the country show. Only a handful of leading parties have constituted campaign councils, while many candidates are concentrating on consultations, grassroots mobilisation, party structures and legal battles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But where campaigns have begun, another battle is emerging — the struggle for billboards and other public advertising spaces, with allegations of removal, destruction, intimidation and partisan use of regulatory powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 id=\"h-apc-crisis-stalls-poster-war-in-ondo\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">APC crisis stalls poster war in Ondo\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Political activities remain low in Ondo State, with only a few APC candidates displaying posters at strategic locations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike previous election seasons, there is no poster war, as candidates of opposition parties are largely absent from the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investigations showed that only a handful of opposition candidates have pasted posters, while many are yet to print theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development has been linked largely to the crisis within the APC, where several aspirants who lost the party’s primaries have gone to court to challenge the outcome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even among incumbent National Assembly members who secured return tickets, only a few have printed and displayed campaign posters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The uncertainty surrounding candidacies has therefore slowed political activities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The APC National Working Committee had dropped some aspirants after the primaries, triggering fresh crisis and litigation, which have combined to prevent the usual billboard and poster war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, billboards bearing the image of APC presidential candidate, Senator Bola Tinubu, are prominent across major towns and roads, while only a few posters of ADC presidential candidate, Alhaji Abubakar Atiku, are visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another factor is that there will be no governorship election in Ondo in 2027. The state will vote in the presidential, National Assembly and State Assembly elections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 id=\"h-tinubu-dominates-ekiti\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tinubu dominates Ekiti\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The situation is similar in Ekiti, where the campaign landscape remains markedly different from the intense poster and billboard competition normally associated with elections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tinubu’s posters and billboards are prominent across several locations, while the presence of opposition parties, particularly ADC and NDC, remains subdued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A major political development is the decision of Dr Wole Oluyede, who contested the June 20, 2026 governorship election on the PDP platform, to support Tinubu’s re-election.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oluyede has established the Oluyede Progressive Alliance for Renewed Hope Agenda, OPARHA, to mobilise support for Tinubu across the state’s 16 local government areas and 177 wards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At a mobilisation rally in Ado-Ekiti, Oluyede and Governor Biodun Oyebanji jointly canvassed support for Tinubu and pledged to work for at least 90 per cent of the President’s votes in Ekiti.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, the physical campaign landscape is heavily tilted towards Tinubu and the APC.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 id=\"h-osun-no-defacing-of-posters\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Osun: No defacing of posters\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Osun presents a different picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Campaign posters and banners are being displayed competitively without the widespread defacing that characterised the August governorship election.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Different parties have mounted campaign materials at public places without reports of widespread destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development contrasts sharply with the recent governorship election, which witnessed extensive destruction of posters and billboards belonging to major political parties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 id=\"h-billboard-war-opposition-cries-foul-in-lagos\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Billboard war, opposition cries foul in Lagos\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Lagos, political activities are taking place amid heightened tension, early mobilisation and strict regulation of public advertising space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The governorship contest involving the APC, ADC and PDP is attracting more attention than the Senate, House of Representatives and State Assembly contests, which remain relatively subdued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">APC governorship candidate, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, and his running mate, Princess Damilola Sonayon-James, have established a strong presence, alongside President Tinubu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Billboards bearing the images of Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima and Hamzat are prominent in Ikeja, Alausa, the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Obalende and around the Third Mainland Bridge. The posters, which began appearing in August, are also visible around Agege, Alimosho and other areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By contrast, billboards of ADC presidential candidate and his running mate, Rotimi Amaechi, as well as NDC presidential candidate, Peter Obi and his running mate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, are yet to achieve comparable visibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opposition has alleged harassment and removal of its campaign materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NDC supporters accused the Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency, LASAA, of removing more than 50 banners belonging to Peter Obi and House of Representatives candidate, Dr Adefolaseye Adebomi, in Surulere while leaving APC materials intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NDC chieftain, Aisha Yesufu, condemned the alleged action, describing it as the behaviour of a party that is “scared, desperate, and crumbling rather than one in control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She also criticised the high cost of billboard advertising, alleging that fees running into hundreds of millions of naira were being imposed in some areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lagos State Government had yet to respond to the allegation at the time of filing this report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 id=\"h-campaign-materials-under-attack-in-ogun\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Campaign materials under attack in Ogun\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Political activities are gathering momentum in Ogun, with the PDP formally commencing its governorship campaign and the ruling APC intensifying mobilisation across the three senatorial districts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But posters, banners and billboards mounted in public spaces are increasingly being vandalised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some campaign materials have been torn down, defaced or damaged, with different parties and candidates reportedly affected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development has raised concerns as the parties intensify grassroots engagement and public messaging ahead of the elections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The growing appearance of campaign materials on major roads and in communities has already transformed parts of the state into political battlegrounds, even though the full campaign season is yet to peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 id=\"h-battle-for-visibility-moves-to-billboards-in-oyo\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battle for visibility moves to billboards in Oyo\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Oyo State, the struggle for political visibility is gradually moving to the streets, particularly billboards and posters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across Ibadan and other areas, campaign materials of prominent contenders have begun appearing at strategic locations, although the state is yet to witness a full-scale poster war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Controversy erupted in July when the ADC alleged that a billboard belonging to its governorship candidate, Olooye Taofeek Adegboyega Adegoke, at Idi-Ape Junction, Ibadan, was removed and replaced with materials bearing the images of Governor Seyi Makinde and APM governorship candidate, Bimbo Adekanmbi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adegoke said: “My money is still running on that billboard till 20th August 2026.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The APM denied responsibility, attributing billboard disputes to advertising agencies and regulatory authorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The APC later raised similar allegations, claiming that some of its billboards for governorship candidate, Senator Sharafadeen Alli, were being removed or destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">APM again denied involvement, saying: “We do not destroy opponents’ materials, we do not sponsor thuggery, and we do not engage in violence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, Oyo’s contest is still at the early stage of the battle for public attention, with candidates also relying on radio, television, social media, rallies and consultations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch4 id=\"h-candidates-stake-claims-in-delta\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Candidates stake claims in Delta\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Campaign activities in Delta are yet to fully take off, but the political atmosphere is warming up as aspirants intensify consultations with party leaders, traditional rulers, community leaders and supporters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Posters and billboards belonging to candidates are becoming increasingly visible in Asaba and other major towns, but the development has not translated into a full-blown poster war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Political actors are adopting a cautious approach, seeking to establish visibility while strengthening party structures and grassroots networks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many candidates, consultations and mobilisation are currently more important than committing huge resources to full-scale advertising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gradual appearance of posters and billboards, however, indicates that the 2027 contest is entering the public consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Complaints of billboard destruction rein in Edo\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Political activities are picking up across Edo’s three senatorial districts, with junctions and public spaces increasingly competing for campaign posters and banners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The APC has inaugurated its campaign council, while Governor Monday Okpebholo, his deputy, Dennis Idahosa, and party leaders have commenced mobilisation visits to the state’s 18 local government areas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NDC is also campaigning but has complained about attacks on its posters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The party’s candidate for Akoko-Edo II State Constituency, Paul Alaba Lawani, said the NDC was prepared to defeat the incumbent through its grassroots strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other active campaign groups include the Chief Thomas Attah Movement, backing Dr Thomas Attah’s House of Representatives ambition in Akoko-Edo Federal Constituency, and the Abbaas Naasamu campaign team of the ADC.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the campaign has already recorded an allegation of political violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suspected political thugs allegedly attacked the campaign office of NDC candidate for Oredo Federal Constituency, Hon Frank Uyi Omosigho, in Benin City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several campaign materials at the Stadium Road office were pulled down and damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Omosigho said youths alerted him to the attack and urged young people not to allow politicians to use them to perpetrate

Akaliro, a former chairman of the Abia State Council of Traditional Rulers, for Ikwu-Isii.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\u002F2026\u002F10\u002F2027-bende-monarchs-reaffirm-zoning-pact-kalus-third-term-bid-faces-hurdle\u002F\">2027: Bende monarchs reaffirm zoning pact, Kalu’s third-term bid faces hurdle\u003C\u002Fa> appeared first on \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\">Vanguard News\u003C\u002Fa>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n","2027-bende-monarchs-reaffirm-zoning-pact-kalus-third-term-bid-faces-hurdle",{"id":60,"createdAt":61,"updatedAt":61,"name":62,"slug":63},[73,1934,1935,1936,1892,1937,1888,1889,1890,1891,1938],"bende","monarchs","reaffirm","pact","hurdle","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.vanguardngr.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002FMonarch.png",{"id":1869,"createdAt":1870,"updatedAt":1871,"name":1872,"image":1873,"slug":1874},5,"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.vanguardngr.com\u002F2026\u002F10\u002F2027-bende-monarchs-reaffirm-zoning-pact-kalus-third-term-bid-faces-hurdle\u002F",{"status_code":4,"message":77,"data":1944},[1945,1946,1947,1948,1949,1950,1951,1952,1953,1954,1955,1956,1957,1958,1959,1960,1961,1962,1963,1964],"EPL: Bassey In Action, Iwobi Subbed Off In Fulham Loss To Ipswich Town","2027: NDC inaugurates presidential campaign council October 20","Ex-Man City player calls for seven-year punishment over financial breaches","Best performing balanced mutual funds in Nigeria as of September 2026","الواثق كمير: بين الشمول وانتقائية المعايير","2027: NDC to inaugurate presidential council Oct 20","FG moves to raise local vehicle production from 8% to 70%","South African court sentences 71-year-old woman to 20 years for killing three great-grandchildren","شهادة مجروحة عن فساد سلطة بورتسودان..!","2027: Tinubu doing what no past presidents have done – APC Chair, Yilwatda","‘I lost my freedom to move’ – Regina Daniels opens up on health issues [VIDEO]","Fuel Discount: Makinde Asks FG To Release Pricing Template","Ex SGF, Ahmed, Urges NAHCON to Priotise Pilgrims’ Need","I won’t be watching livestream of US shooter’s execution — Vice President Vance","Kiir apiga marufuku safari za viongozi, uchaguzi wazua wasiwasi","Ipswich’s O’Shea and and Outtara stun Fulham with last-gasp comeback win","Ten-man Brighton continue fine form with battling win at Sunderland","Aston Villa’s wait for home win goes on after Ajer hits back for Brentford","Henderson and João Pedro lead Chelsea charge against Bournemouth","من مناوي إلى أزمة التمثيل الوطني.. التنافس على تمثيل الجماعات ومأزق المشروع القومي"]
