Court orders INEC to de-register ADC, other parties: Any hope for Atiku? | Reflections Nigeria

In this explosive episode of Reflections Nigeria, BusinessDay TV ...

In this explosive episode of Reflections Nigeria, BusinessDay TV editors analyze the shock Federal High Court order directing INEC to de-register the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and four other political ...parties, throwing the 2027 political landscape into complete disequilibrium.

Yesterday, news broke that a Federal High Court ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to strip five political parties—ADC, Accord Party, Action Alliance (AA), Allied Peoples Movement (APM), and Zenith Labour Party (ZLP)—of their registration under Section 225A of the 1999 Constitution. This sudden legal hammer falls just as major political figures, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, had secured presidential tickets on these platforms, creating critical psychological and structural shockwaves across the opposition.

Host Joshua Bassey sits down with Zebulon Agomuo (Sunday Editor, BusinessDay) and Chuka Uroko (Assistant Editor, BusinessDay) discuss the timing of this judgment, questioning the motivations of the association of former lawmakers who brought the case. With an existing Appeal Court directive meant to hold off rulings until October, this sudden judgment raises massive questions about political interference ahead of the general elections. Is this a strategic move by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to create a one-horse race for President Bola Tinubu? We break down how this impacts frontline politicians like Atiku and Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, the true legal loopholes of Section 225A, and whether Nigeria is facing a systemic shift toward a one-party state.

Why Is Nigeria Not Able to Attract FDI Despite Reforms?

Nigeria devalued the Naira and cut subsidies to attract foreign ...

Nigeria devalued the Naira and cut subsidies to attract foreign investors, so why is foreign direct investment (FDI) still completely avoiding the country? We break down the alarming systemic failures ...holding back Nigeria's path to a $1 Trillion economy.

BusinessDay Publisher Frank Aigbogun and Lolade Akinmurele (Editor, BusinessDay) and Bunmi Bailey (Assistant Editor, BusinessDay) dissect the jarring paradox of Nigeria’s current economic climate. While the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has achieved stability with foreign portfolio investment (FPI) and the Nigerian exchange group (NGX) stock market has experienced a massive 50% rally, long-term foreign direct investment remains critically absent. We contrast Nigeria's stagnation with Egypt’s massive $46 Billion capital importation breakthrough to pinpoint what the presidency is getting completely wrong.

The conversation addresses the core structural blockades paralyzing local and global investor confidence, including severe manufacturing power outages, national insecurity crippling agriculture, and highly elevated tax structures. Furthermore, we reveal why a booming stock market has failed to trigger Initial Public Offerings (IPOs), evaluating why major institutions like the Dangote Refinery are diversifying across multiple African exchanges rather than relying solely on local liquidity. Finally, we analyze banking sector efficiency, investigating why aggressive expansion models like Access Bank are raising serious questions among asset management firms.

Will Dangote Petrol Prices Drop Below ₦1,000 This Month?

As global crude oil prices begin to plunge, millions of Nigerians are ...

As global crude oil prices begin to plunge, millions of Nigerians are desperately looking for a massive sigh of relief at the petrol pumps. BusinessDay Publisher Frank Aigbogun and Lolade ...Akinmurele (Editor, BusinessDay) and Bunmi Bailey (Assistant Editor, BusinessDay) break down exactly how the shifting dynamics between international energy markets, the Central Bank of Nigeria's foreign exchange reserves, and local supply hubs will impact your wallet this month.

The global economy is facing a massive shakeup as international oil benchmarks cool down from their wartime peaks. While this usually signals a drop in retail fuel costs, the structural realities of Nigeria’s economy mean things aren’t always that simple. We dive deep into the operations of the Dangote Refinery, analyzing how its domestic crude allocations from the Federal Government are impacting local supply chains and why the refinery has suddenly become a dominant player in aviation fuel and regional West African trade.

Furthermore, we contrast Nigeria's current macroeconomic landscape with other African peers like Zambia, Angola, and Ghana. While rising copper demand has stabilized currencies elsewhere, Nigeria’s production-sensitive model continues to struggle with persistent inflationary pressures, elevated food prices, and an influx of foreign portfolio investments. Watch until the end to understand whether true disinflation is on the horizon or if the high cost of living is here to stay.
